CONGRESS BEHIND IN WORK
House and Senate May Not
Agree on Bank Bill.
STATEHOOD IS IN DANGER
Conservation Chances Dwindle.
Members Would Like to Return
Home, but Fear to Leave
With. Work Undone.
OREGONLVN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 1. The National lawmak
ers are growing anxious for adjourn
ment and this regardless of party, lor
the campaign Is approaching and politi
cal fences are in rather bad shape- The
President on the other hand. Is not so
anxious to get Congress off his hands,
for up to the present time little general
legislation has been finally enacted, and
the Chief Executive does not want to
see Congress adjourn until it has made
a creditable showing and carried out
some material portion of the pledge made
in the Chlcavo platform.
It is safe io say that every member
of the House is anxious to get home.
Most of the sitting members are can
didates for re-election, and few among
them feel absolutely safe, except the
Southern Democrats. The scattering
members who intend voluntarily to re
tire at the close of this Congress are
equally anxious for adjournment, for
they have tired of public life and want
as much time as possible to themselves.
Senators Expect to Help.
Among the Senators there is not such
general anxiety to mingle with the folks
at home, for only one-third of that body
is to be re-elected next Winter. Never-
theless a. great many Senators who
have no campaigns of their own will be
called upon to assist in the Congres
sional and state campaigns in the Fall,
and they all want a rest before they go
upon the stump.
The legislative situation at the present
moment Is not entirely satisfactory to
the Administration, for some of the
measures in which the President is most
concerned are seemingly in grave dan
ger. To have Congress adjourn leaving
these measures unacted upon would, in
the judgment of many, be unwise politi
cally, for it would subject the Republi
cans to the charge of bad faith and un
kept promises. That is the view the
President t;ikes and that Is why he is
not anxious for an early adjournment
that is, unless a programme can be
shaped up and rushed through in a
hurry. In that event, providing he got
what he wanted, he would be as willing
as any to have Congress bring its ces
sion to a close.
Commerce Law Will Be Compromise.
It is conceded by everyone that an
Interstate commerce law will be enacted
before adjournment, but In what form
that law will be eventually passed and
approved no one can yet predict. The
Hou.s and Senate bills differ materially,
and it will probably require weeks of de
liberation in conference to compromise
these differences and perfect a bill
which will be acceptable to both
branches. Nevertheless, it is conceded
that such a compromise can be reached,
and It is now believed that the bill
eventually enacted will receive Presi
dential approval.
The postal savings bank bill, however,
is in more precarious condition. Al
though it has passed the Senate, tt has
been emasculated by the House commit
tee and two distinct measures are now
before that body. The House Itself is
divided; there are those who favor the
Senate bill: those favoring each of the
two committee bills, and those who are
opposed to any kind of postal savings
bank legislation. Just what the House
will eventually do with this important
legislation and legislation to which the
President is thoroughly committed, and
in which he is intensely Interested is
more than the wisest man in Congress
can now predict.
Postal Hunk Bill Jn Danger.
The House certainly will not pass the
bill as It passed the Senate, and It may
pass no bill at all. but if any sort of
postal bank bill goes through, it must,
like the commerce bill, go to a commit
tee on conference for final adjustment,
and the compromise measure may be
such that it cannot get a majority vote
Jti the House and thus the whole sub
ect be sidetracked.
Statehood legislation is In quite as
..precarious condition as the postal savings
bank bill. A majority of both Senate
and House believe that New Mexico
and Arizona should be admitted to the
Union as separate states. The House has
so voted, but Senator Beverldge. chair
man of the territories committee of the
Senate, has never at heart favored sep
arate statehood, and has eo loaded the
statehood bill that its friends will have
difficulty In working it through to final
passage. If the Senate passes the bill
as Beverldge reported it and of this
there is serious doubt it will never be
accepted by the House. It then will go

HEARST SUES FOR $700,000
Editor Brings Action Against Two
Newspaper and Press Association.
NEW YORK, May 1. (Special.)
William R. Hearst has begun a libel
suit against the New York Times be
cause this newspaper reported the
speech of Mayor Gaynor at the Asso
ciated Press dinner on Thursday night
in which the Mayor declared that "two
State prison felonies, namely, a forgery
and a falsification of a public docu
ment, were committed in the eagerness
of this published and editor (Hearst)
to wrong the Mayor the City of New
York."
Mr. Hearst alleges that by reason of
the publication he has suffered $100,000
damages and asks to be recompensed
in that sum.
Summons and complaint in the suit
were served on the Times last night
by a clerk in the office of Clarence J.
Shearn, Mr. Hearst's attorney. Mr.
Shearn told the Times reporter that
Mr. Hearst was also suing the Brook
lyn Eagle and the Associated Press.
Damages in the case of the Eagle are
put at $100,000; in the case of the As
sociated Press at $500,000.
TOWN GOES TO RAILROAD
Lostine Syndicute Plats Site and
Residents Will Move.
WALLOWA, Or., May 1. (Special.)
The town of Lostine will be removed a
mile and a half to the O. R. & N. sta
tion of that name, according to present
plans of its citizens and a syndicate,
which bas Just obtained options on
land required for the purpose.
When the railroad was built through
the valley two years ago it missed the
town, but established a station at the
nearest point. There was opposition
at first to a change of location, but
this has been overcome. Couch & Mc
Donald a few day ago obtained an op
tion on 40 acres at the station grounds
and this tract, together with 20 acres
owned by J. F. Haun, has been platted.
The townsite will be placed on the
market as soon as the survey has been
made and approved by the County
Court.
HEAVY LOG FELLS MAN
Seaside Resident Pinioned Beneath
Rolling Tree; Back Crushed.
SEASIDE, Or., May 1. (Special.)
While fellowworkmen labored in fever
ish haste to free him from the weight of
a giant sawlog. James Renound. an em
ploye of the Seaside Lumber & Manu
facturing Company, lay for 20 minutes
in an unconscious condition before he
could be released and revived.
Renound. in performing his customary
duties, was knocked to the ground by
a rolling log and pinioned beneath its
crushing weight. Fortunately for Re
nound the log struck an obstruction as
it passed over his ankles and stopped in
time to save hira from toeing crushed to
death. Both ankles were severely
sprained and a painful wrench to the
back sustained, which rendered him
helpless and partially paralyzed for a few
hours. It was necessary for the rescuers
to cut the log away before the release
could be effected.
FIVE FALL FAR, UNHURT
Auto Party Walks to Car After
Drop or 2 00 Feet.
PASADENA, Cal.. May 1. Mr. and
Mrs. F. E. Wolfarth. their two children
and R. Tobey. of Covins, were hurled
down a 200-foot precipice today, and
though they fell on a pile of rocks not
one of the party was hurt.
The skidding of the automobile in
which they were riding up Seoville Hill
caused the accident. Wolfarth. who
was driving, tried to round a sharp
curve In the trail skirting the crest of
the hill and the car went over the edge
of an almost perpendicular precipice.
Everyone In the machine fell out as
it rolled over and over and all landed
on . a heap of rocks. They were dazed,
but uninjured except for a few
cratches, and walked a mile and a. half
to an electric car.
The automobile was demolished.
Voters to Be Kept Busy
Tinkering Statutes.
LEGISLATURE SUBMITS SIX
Many Amendments to Consti
tution Being Sought."
INITIATIVE CROP LARGE7
Suffrage Petitions Already on File
and Seven Additional Counties
Sought Liquor and Tax
ation Made Prominent.
SALEM, Or., May L (Special.) Unless
all signs fail the voters of Oregon will
have their bands full of law-making and
Constitution-tlnKerlng at the general
election on November 8. Besides being
called upon to select full state, district
and county tickets, the electors of the
state will be asked to pass upon from 25
to 30 measures submitted under the ini
tlath'e and referendum.
To begin with, there ore six measures
submitted by the last legislature. Two
of these are proposed Constitutional
amendments relative to taxation and
another provides for state-aided rail
roads. They were passed by the Legis
lature largely because of pressure
brought to bear by the lobbying commit
tee of the State Grange. They are aimed
at the present system of taxation, their
prime object being to impose an addi
tional tax upon franchises and other in
tangible properties.
The proposed railroad amendment was
passed by the Legislature and .submitted
to the people through the influence of
the commercial bodies of Portland, the
State Grange and high potentates of the
People's Progressive Government League.
Single Districts Proposed.
Another Constitutional amendment pro
posed by the Legislature contains the
single district 'plan for representation in
the senate and house.
Under this plan, Multnomah. Marion,
Umatilla, Lane, Linn and other thickly
populated counties having more than one
Senator or Representative will be di
vided into Senatorial and Representative
districts. This proposed plan will do
away with proportional representation
and it is therefore considered certain that
it will be bitterly opposed by Mn, U'Ren
and his followers.
In addition to these proposed Constitu
tional amendments, the Legislature sub
mitted two bills the McKinley bill, pro
viding for the location of a branch insane
asylum in Baker, Union or Umatilla
County, and the Buchanan bill authoriz
ing a Constitutional convention for the
purpose of making a general revision of
the Constitution of the state. Referen
dum petitions were filed against the
Jaeger bill. Increasing the number of
Circuit Judges tn Multnomah County,
and the Hart bill, increasing the salary
of the Circuit Judge in Baker County to
$4000 a year. The former measure will
not be voted upon, for the reason that
the Secretary of State refused to accept
and -file the referendum petition upon the

WHAT OUGHT TO BE DONE WHEN THE COMET GETS WITHIN HAILING DISTANCE.
Educator Shatters Theory That the
Spread of Microbes Makes Os
culation Dangerous.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass., May J (Special.)
Harvard has officially put its O. K,
on gisslng.
Dr. A. M. Wbrthington, of the medical
schaal, an expert on bacteria, not os
culation, says there ia no reason what
ever why healthy and well-intentioned
couples shouldn't indulge in kissing jto
their heart's content.
Incidentally, his statement shatters the
theory advanced many times by profes
sors of other universities that kissing is
dangerous, because tt makes a' swap of
microbes and Illness in. one or both, par
ties to the union often follows tho
diversion. Said Dr. Worthingon:
"Kissing harmful? Certainly not-i
No, sir. There Is no possible reason in
the world or proof in the world why,
when two self-respecting, wholesome
persons meet lip to lip, they can't
break away without upsetting the bac
terial balance."
Perhaps the only serious danger
springing from such a union would af
fect the heart only.
Dr. Worthington also ably defend
our friends, the microbes, referring to
them in other circumstances. He as
serted that if bacteria were driven out
of the land, the world would become a
desert scattered with the world's dead.
Germs are humble in their needs, but
stupendous In their life work.
BOAT TIPS; TWO DROWN
Husband Struggles Bravely to Save
Young Life.
" SAN- FRANCISCO, May 1. Losing
their strength after a half-hour strug
gle to support themselves on the bot
tom of an overturned fishing smack
that had capsized, with them in the bay
off Fort Point, 'Mrs. Louise Schaadt, 22
years old, and John Gabb, aged 43, sank
and were drowned.
Russel M. Schaadt, husband of the
young woman, made every effort to
save his wife's life and it was only
through the prompt arrival of the life
saving crew that he was taken from
the water just as he was about to share
the fate of the others. The accident oc
curred as the party was returning from
a fishing expedition. As the entrance
to the bay was being made, the smack
shipped her rudder and the boat was
adrift in the strong current on a flood
tide. In trying to right the craft, the
men brought it about suddenly and a
large wave turned it turtle. Schaadt's
attempts to place his wife upon the
bottom of the boat turned it over in
the water three different times and in
righting the skiff the energy of the
men was exhausted.
SEASON OPENS WITH RUSH

have caught as many as 12 and 15 sal
mon each on the drift and the deliveries
at each packing plant tomorrow and
Tuesday are expected to be quite large.

Pat Colman Speaks Softly to Ruf

Fall Upon Him.
CLEVELAND, Ohio., May 1. (Spe
cial.) Patrolman Cottrill, who had been
reading about the "Golden Rule" in
handling disorderly persons, attempted
to put the theory into practice early this
morning. His helmet was knocked off
and a hole kicked through it, he was
knocked down and beaten almost to
death with his own mace and a riot was
precipitated. Hereafter, If he recovers,
this particular patrolman will go after
hoodlums with a club and cut out the
"Golden Rule" business.
He had been sent to disperse a. gang
of young ruffians who" made a practice
of loitering upon a particular corner,
"rushing the can" and insulting all wo
men who passed, assaulting those who
objected to their villainy.
Patrolman Cottrill approached them
and mildly requested them to go home,
using his softest and most persuasive
tones, accompanied by an Ingratiating
smile. Instead, they fell upon him and
would have mauled him to a pulp If a
riot call had not been turned In.

SPRINGFIELD TO TAKE HAND
Senator Lorimer Says Letters
Show White Is Unbalanced.
PLOT TO RUIN BANK SEEN
If Acceptance of $1000 for Vote Ia
Admitted Again, Says State's At
torney, Promise of Immunity,
AVill Be Disregarded.
CHICAGO, May 1. (Special.) State's
Attorney Wayman will take Represen
tative Charles A. White, of O'Fallon,
before the special grand Jury tomorrow
to repeat his confession of alleging that
he received a bribe of $1000 for voting
for William Lorimer for United States
Senator and later $900 as his share in
a "Jackpot" or general legislative cor
ruption fund.
The public prosecutor intimates also,
that in the near future the down-state
Legislators mentioned by White in bis
charges will appear before the special
Inquisitorial body, the list including
Henry A. Shepard of Jerseyville. Joseph
S. Clark of Vandal I a. Michael Link ot
Mitchell, and Lee O'Neil Browne- of Ot
tawa. Double Inquiry Promised.
The legislative bribery scandal will
have the right of way and when the
special grand Jury gets through with
its work White's astounding story will
have been investigated to the bottom.
The inquiry will not be confined to'
Cook County alone, for in Sangamon
County the regular grand Jury con
venes tomorrow at Springfield and
State's Attorney Edmund Burke de
clares that it will make an exhaustive
inquiry -Into the corrupt deals alleged
by White to have been transacted at
the Capital.
After White is through at the Crimi
nal Court building in Chicago, the San
gamon County authorities will seek to
bring him before the grand Jury at
Springfield. If he repeats the confession
he made to State's Attorney ' Wayman
before the Sangamon County jurors.
State's Atorney Burke declares that he
will be Indicted and prosecuted forth
with, no matter what assurance of im
munity he may have from the prosecu
tion in Cook County.
Unbalanced, Says Lorimer.
Attorney-General Stead is at Spring
field preparing to lend a band in the In
vestigation. Senator Lorimer says he has a letter
at Washington from White, which he
believes proves that the writer is men
tally unbalanced, and reiterates his dec
laration that the attack is a move to
ruin the new La Salle-Street National
Bank.
Senator Jandus. who handled tbe anti
local option bill, denies the charges that
bribes were offered to put the bill
through.
Leo O'Neill Browne, announces that
he will remain in Chicago to watch de
velopments and will save his correspond
ence with White as ammunition to be
used later on. .
One advantage in having the special
grand Jury take up the investigation is
that it has no definite length of life.
Probably no State's Attorney's office
in the state is so well prepared to handle
a big bribery scandal as is that of Cook
County. The experience of State's At
torney Wayman and his assistants In the
Indictment and conviction of Edward
McCann, the police inspector, served to
acquaint the prosecutor Intimately with
the law on bribery, as well as with what
facts are necessary to prove that crime.

them.
COMET SEEN IN SEATTLE
Sky Unusually Clear and Several

SEATTLE. May L Halley's comet was
observed by several persons in Seattle
this morning.
The sky was unusually clear along the
eastern horizon and the comet became
visible to the naked eye shortly after t
J o'clock. T,
