Day Trip Over State- Next.
Beyond giving encouraging1 Intimations
concerning future railroad construction in
Oregon and admitting the ownership of
the United Railways and Oregon Electrio
systems. James J. Hill yesterday declined
to make any statement relative to his
plans or acquirements in this state.
While promising that before he leaves
the city he will make a further state
ment. Mr. Hill insists that more or less
reticence is necessary in the carrying ont
of plans which require the purchase of
rights-of-way and other property.
"If I told all that we intended to do in
Oregon there would be perhaps 50 per
sons who would try to Jump in ahead of
us at each point to gain some unjust ad
vantage or profit at our expense." ' said
the railroad magnate yesterday when
asked for details concerning construction
plans for Oregon.
No Statement Given Out Yet
"Will you say whether an east-and-west
line Is to be built across the state?
was asked.
"No; that Is a matter that I cannot dis
cuss at this time," be replied.
The solid through train between Port
land and St. Paul will be known as
"The Oregonian." President (Hill, of the
Great Northern, yesterday said that it
was desired to have the name "Oregon"
somewhere In the title that will be given
the new limited service, but the shorter
form of the word had been used so much
in the designation of trains that- some
thing distinctive of the Great Northern
service was desired so "The Oregonian"
was elected as the name.
Ownership Now Admitted.
In reply to a direct question James J. Hill
admitted that he and his associates now
own the Oregon Electric and United Rail
ways, but when a question as to extend
, lng the Oregon Electric this year to Al
bany and McMlnnvllle was asked. Mr.
Hill again reserved any statement on the
ground that it would not be politic to
disclose his plans.
A similar reply was given to a question
as to whether a new depot would be con
structed this year on the North Bank ter
minal property.
In answering further questions. Mr. Hill
said that he saw no prospect for a com
bination of the North Bank terminals
with those of the Northern Pacific Ter
minal Company in Portland.
Terminal Problem Serious.
"The terminal situation Is a serious
one in all large cities." be continued.
"Ready handling of traffic cannot be ac
complished without adequate terminals.
Look at Chicago. It now requires more
time to get a car through the Chicago
terminals than it does to haul it from
Chicago to the Pacific Coast once it is
out of that city.
"In the state at large," be continued,
"the great need Is for development of
the outside territory. Tou now have
large and growing cities, but they must
have a settled country on which to draw.
The upbuilding of the state is what Is
most needed."
The Oregon Electric Railway, of which
Mr. IIU1 now admits ownership, was ac
quired only a few weeks ago, it Is un
derstood, while the transfer of the United
Railways occurred last Fall. The Oregon
Electrio system includes an interurban
line to Salem and one to Forest Grove.
Prior to the sale arrangements had been
practically completed for the then owners
to extend the road from Salem to Al
bany and also to build from -TigardviUe
to McMlnnvllle. The extensions would
mean the construction of about BO miles
of new railroad. The road is also pro
jected on to Eugene and also to McMlnn
vllle via Forest Grove and North Yam
hill. The United Railways now consist of
about 13 miles of railroad, the principal
line extending from a terminus at the
Chamber of Commerce building to Bur
lington. Tracks are laid also on . Front
street which give a connection from the
North Bank terminal properties to the
Oregon Electric terminal on Jefferson
street.
Porters Get Tunnel Contract.
Recently. Porter Bros, were given
the contract for constructing a tunnel
through the hills that divide the Willam
ette Valley from the Tualatin Valley and
the road, before many months, will be
In operation to Forest Grove, It is also
projected to Tillamook. Last week con
struction work began on three miles of
city tracks connecting North and South
Portland via Seventh street.
Arrangements for combining the offices
of the United Railways and the Oregon

CHICAGO. May 3. (Special.) Bands
of woman suffragists touring the state
in automobiles will descend upon every
city, town, village and hamlet in Illi
nois before the legislative primaries
next September, in an effort to make
the question of "votes for women" the
leading issue in the campaign that al
ready has so many angles it promises
to be the hardest-fought legislative
battle ever experienced in Illinois.
Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch, a
lawyer and Justice of the Peace in
Evanston and a leader in the equal
suffrage movement, made the first an
nouncement of the plan today. An
other plan for educating the. people
will be placed in the hands of Miss
Dorothy Horning, a graduate of North

graduates from Cumnock School of
Oratory in a few weeks. Suffragists
have three plays written around their

principal cities of the state and train
groups of girls to present these plays.

TINKERING IS CONTINUED
Both Branches of Congress Make
Sweeping Amendments Hey-
burn Amendment Under Con
sideration at Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, May 3. The dis
mantling of the Administration railroad
bill proceeded in both houses today.
Section seven the traffic agreement
provision was eliminated both by the
Senate and the House. The Senate also
struck out section 12. which would have
permitted any railroad owning 50 per cent
of another to absorb it altogether.
The section prohibiting a railroad charg
ing a higher rate for a short than for a
long haul was adopted by the House in
the form reported by the committee on in
terstate commerce, but with an additional
provision for a report to Congress by the
Interstate Commerce Commission of the
facts relating to the longi and short haul
question.
There is no section corresponding to this
in the bill as tt is pending in the Senate,
but an amendment offered by Senator
Heyburn today to modify the existing
law similarly precipitated an extended
debate, which was In progress -when the
Senate adjourned.
Bills Are Ear Apart.
Strictly speaking, each bouse today
was boring holes in a separate bill the
Senate In tbe bill introduced by Senator
Elkins, the House in the bill introduced
by Representative Town send but the bills
at the ourteet were identical, though
changed by the committees that reported
them.
Each version of the bill has yet to be
passed in its own house and then will
have to undergo the tender mecles of the
other. Whether either ever will emerge
from the final stage of Joint confrence la
e. thing nobody is prepared to prophesy.
Never since it was reported to the
Senate nine weeks ago has the bill
moved along with such celerity as to
day. The entire programme outlined
at yesterday's conference of the lead
ers was carried out and extended. In
rapid succession the Cummins and the
Crawford-Elkins amendments to the
traffic agreement provision were with
drawn and the entire traffic and merger
provisions stricken out.
Cummins Provision Killed.
Immediately after the bill was taken
up in the Senate, Elkins, in charge of
the bill, proposed to lay on the table
the Cummins amendment requiring the
approval of all changes in rates
by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion in advance of their taking effect.
Mr. Cummins saved the trouble of a
vote by withdrawing his amendment.
The .Democrats had agreed to vote
against the Cummins provision in con
sideration of the adoption of the Clay

SECRETARY MAY RESIGN
Coming T"nsmirelied From Attack,
He Will Lay Down Trust, Know
ing He Has Conserved People's
Interests Despite IMnchoU
"WASHINGTON. May 8. (Special.)
Seemingly everybody in Washington has.
made up his mind that there can be only
one outcome of the investigation which
the joint Senate and Souse committee has
been making- into the affairs of the In
terior Department and of the Forest
Service. The majority of the committee
is to vote Secretary Bellinger a clean bill
of moral health and. a minority is to sub
mit a report which will say at the worst
that the Secretary of the Interior was
not as sympathetic as be might have been
with the policies for which bis depart
ment, as an agent of the people's wishes',
was supposed to stand.
If it is possible to base affirmative
words on external appearance, the com
mittee long ago made up its individual
minds concerning the matter under in
vestigation. The tone of the questions
asked by the chief members sounds the
note of opinion. Iso one haa believed
for a. long time that anything was1 likely
to be disclosed during the latter days of
the investigation which would change in
the slightest the opinions of any member
of the Investigating body.
There is & general impression in Wash
ington that some months after the com
mittee turns in its report. Mr. Balltnger
may resign his position as Secretary of
the Interior. He will hold, as be will
have a right to, that he has been cleared
absolutely of having committed any act
in violation of bis duties as a conservator
of the people's interests. Mr. Balllnger's
mistake, if he made one, was accepting
office knowing that he was expected to
support Pinchot and Pinchotlsm.
"The letter of the law" has been Mr.
Balllnger's stumbling block as the coun
try has viewed it.
It must be admitted that Glfford Pin
chot as a witness was a disappointment
to the friends of conservation. He had
made some charges which, it was be
lieved that he could substantiate by di
rect documentary evidence. Inferences
that Mr. Pinchot had drawn from certain
conversations and certain acts were found
in several vital Instances to be the basis
of his conclusions.
Secretary Balllnger received what might
be called one vindication in the Supreme
Court of. the District of Columbia today
when a charge that he had shirked bis
duty as Secretary of the Interior was or
dered expunged from the record.
'Haskell's Trial Put Over.
TULSA, Okla., May 3. The trial of

other men in the Muskogee town lot
cases was continued this afternoon until
the next term of the Federal Court.
Half Dozen Bank Officials, Including-
Charles Morse, Are Hid

ATLANTA, Ga.. May 3. (Special.) Fac
ing SO0O men in stripes, many of whom
were serving life sentences. Miss Ger
aldlne Farrar, noted grand opera singer,
brightened one day of life at the Federal
Prison when, early this afternoon, she
sang her way into hearts hungry for
music, but long denied it.
Suiting her songs to the majority of
her audience and their limitations, she
selected a number of simple English bal
lads, though there were many present
who had heard fthe best of grand opera
and would appreciate French, Italian or
any other language.
Hidden away In the midst .of stripes
were such prisoners as Charles W. Morse,
Greene and Gaynor, Lupo "the wolf," a
half dozen prominent bank officials, the
man who a few weeks ago was con
victed of stealing $$4,000 from a Richmond
postofftce, and others.
First she sang "Annie Laurie," and
then she switched into "Comin' Thro
the Rye. Both songs were applauded
to the echo and brought two others, which
were Just as enthusiastically received.
The simplicity of the occasion was empha
sized by the action of Miss Farrar in
playing her own accompaniment. In the
party which accompanied Miss Farrar to
the prison were Antonio Scottl, and a
number of others, but Scottl did no sing

Oregon City Commercial Club Ob

OREGON" CITT, Or. May 3. (Spe

its attention to the foreign labor prob
lem, with the hope that arrangements
may be made with the paper mills on
the west side of the river to shut out
the large number of Austrlans and
Greeks who are coming here to work
in the mills at J 1.76 and $2 per day.
President Randall will appoint a com

During the last two years a great
many foreigners have been given em
ployment in the paper mills and the

is detrimental to the trade of the city.
Officials of the paper mills say it is
impossible to get married men to come
here, as there are no vacant houses in
which they can reside, and single
men, other than foreigners, are floaters
and are not steady enough.

some peculiar gyrations. Five girls and
several men. all in bathing suits, were
gathered around him trying to repeat the

must come to the place and stay for a
time which she did. first paying him, she
testified, a fee of JTIOO.

Miss Hopp told the" magistrate that
Bernard had a peculiar influence over her
and that she believed he had hypnotized
her. She made grave charges against
(Bernard. ,
While she was in the place she met
Miss Gertrude Levy, of Tacoma, Wash.,
another "student." and when she got out
she thought she ought to advise Miss
Levy's sister, a Mrs. Hanford. of Tacoma,
of what was going on. Her letters
brought Mrs. Hanford to New York and
the two women complained to the police.
Bernard was held In J15.000 ball.
