Slason Thompson Says Revenues in
Ten Months Hare Been Increased
by Maligned Act Over $50,
000,000 lor Last Year.
CHICAGO, May 9. Slason Thompson,
the widely known statistician and tariff
expert, says it la about time critics of
the Republican tariff law of 1909 met the
facts, as represented in 10 months' re
sults, face to face. The law went Into
efTect July 1, 1909, says Mr. Thompson,
and the results under it as reported by
the Treasury Department to May 8, 1910,
compared with the corresponding period
of last fiscal year, are as follows:

Tarlft Increases Revenues.
'In ten months," continues Mr.
Thompson, "the most maligrned tariff
act ever passed by Congress has in
creased the revenues from customs
137, 20,521 and from internal revenue
$17,487,983. Wonderful to relate, dur
ing the same period the expenses of
the Government have shown a small but
refreshing shrinkage of $1,740,497.
This is not much, but it is an earnest
of what may be expected if the Taft
Administration realizes its opportuni
ties under the present revenue sys
tem. "But there is a condition behind
these Increased revenues which theor
etical freetraders and political free
booters persistently and consistently
ignore. An advance summary of imports-
for the nine months ending
March 31, the latest available, shows
that the above results have been at
tained by a reduction of customs du
ties downward.
"Small as the percentage of reduc
tion appears, it amounts to a remit
tance of nearly $15,000,000 of customs
on the total Importations and nearly
15,000,000 on dutiable Importations.
farlff Doesn't Increase JJving Cost.
"Moreover, the above statement of
Imports amounts to an acquittal of
Ihe new tariff of any complicity in the
Remarkable increase in the cost of
living during the past year.
"In every tariff law there are sched
ules that pinch individual Interests
and make them yell bloody murder,
nd the Payne-Aldrich tariff is no ex
ception to the rule. But to the moder
ate protectionist, the above figures
eem to Justify President Taft's claim
that this particular tariff law is the
best ever enacted for all the people
f the United States."

NEW YORK, May 9. President T-aft

EVOLUTION WORKING OUT
Dr. Buchanan Says Co-Operation Is
to Replace Competition.
On the subject. "A Commercial
Prophecy Approaching Fulfillment.
Ir. Darldeon Buchanan Sunday night told
tu .Portland. Fellowship Circle and
the People's Forum, In Selling-Hirscn
Hall, that evolution gradually is sub
stituting co-operation for warfare and
competition, and unifying all religious
doctrines and creeds. This process of
evolution, he said, will continue until
the millennium dawns upon the earth
and the world will constitute a great
fellowship of mankind.
At the close of the lecture Dr. Bu
chanan devoted a half hour to answer
ing Questions. Socialists in the room
took advantage of the opportunity and
one asked the speaker why he did not
call it by its right name Socialism."
Dr. Buchanan explained that the name,
as it is generally understood, does not
fit the meaning of his doctrine, and
it would be misunderstood.
Just then a man In the audience
shouted:
"Who made the world?"
I don't know. Do you?" was the
quiet response of the lecturer, as the
audience roared with laughter. The
reply quenched the volley of questions
or opinions that were being hurled at
the speaker.
H. D. wagnon. or the Forum, who
presided, called time when a Socialist
insisted on delivering a lecture, tell
ing wherein he believed Dr. Buchan
an's philosophy of co-operation was
false "under the present economic sys
tem," and citing Glasgow, Manchester,
London, Dublin and Cork as horrible
examples where he said the scheme
proved a failure.
RIOT ENDS BALL GAME
PLAYERS AXD SPECTATORS IX
FREE-FOR-ALIi FIGHT.
His Rones Fluttering, Priest Dashes
Into Melee and Succeeds in
Restoring Order.
SPOKANE, Wash., May . (Special.)
A free-for-all fight in which heads
were cracked, players and spectators
taking part, broke up Sunday's ball game
between Gonzago College and tne Inlands
on the Gonzago grounds. The melee was
precipitated by a mixup between Catcher
Mulholland of Gonzaga and Third Base
man Smith, of the Inlands.
As Mulholland was turning third base
on a line hit past the outfield. Smith is
said to have blocked him. In a minute,
the spectators, taking opposite sides of
the controversy, rushed into the fray.
The crowd closed around the fighters and
the scene resembled a street riot. Father
Garrigan, who has been senior prefect
and always influential with the boys.
rushed on to the field, his long black
robes making a peculiar spectacle in the
mess of fighting men and boys. His de
mand for order was obeyed quickly, and
the field was soon cleared, but it was
impossible to resume the game.
Bishop Edward J. O Dea, of the diocese
of Seattle, who was a guest of Right Rev.
Father Taelman, S. J., president of the
college, was a spectator. The bishop, the
president and other authorities of the
college last night declined to discuss the
incident.
William H. Wallace, a spectator, made
the following statement: "Smith had
been playing dirty ball all day and the
Gonzaga boys were complaining bitterly
that he would not give them the line
and was "roughing it" whenever possible.
When Mulholland made his long hit, he
could have made eight bases on it and
there was no sense in Smith claiming
any right to the line, even if he did not
deliberately give Mulholland the shoulder.
as some of the boys claimed."

MRS. FINCH IS BURIED
Widow of Man Hanged for Murder
Said Sbe Was Tired of Life.
Mrs. May Petty Finch, widow of James
A. Finch, died at the Good Samaritan
Hospital last Saturday, and was buried
in Rlverview Cemetery Sunday after
noon. Before her body was laid to rest.
funeral services were held at Finley's un
dertaking chapel, the sermon being
preached by Rev. W. T. Kerr.
Rev. Mr. Kerr made no reference to the
hanging of Finch, but spoke pathetically
of the Buffering Mrs. Finch had gone
through. He mentioned the gifts of
flowers and spoke particularly of the
need of bestowing friendship upon the
living.
Mrs. Finch was born in Lane County,
November 12. 1868. She lived with her
parents on the ranch until 26 years of
age, when she took up nursing. She was
employed by Drs. C. II. and C. H. T.
Atwood at their Maternity Hospital at
Tremont, until her marriage to Finch,
which was but a few days before he shot
and killed Attorney Ralph B. Fisher be
cause as special prosecutor for the Ore
gon Bar Association Fisher had secured
Finch's disbarment for drunkenness.
She remained by her husband's side
until the bitter end. She then went to
live at Eugene, and when taken ill, re
cently, sought the Drs. Atwood at Tre
mont. They took her to the Good Sa
maritan Hospital, where she was oper
ated on Friday. She rallied from the
anesthetic but said she had no wish to
live, and in a short time died.
She had adopted two children before
her marriage to Finch, and it was for
these, her friends say, that she lived
after her husband was hanged. She had
acquired about $3000 worth of Portland
real estate.
She asked that her husband's body be
conveyed to Rlverview Cemetery and in
terred beside hers. She left three broth
ers and a, sister.

Old Heidelberg" teeming with rem
iniscence to th.-college man was the ve
hicle selected by Manager George L.
Baker for the reorganized Baker Stock
Company to make its initial bow in for
the Summer season. Judging by the re
ception he could not have chosen a bet
ter one. The applause was generous
from first to last.
The -Baker stock companies have been
familiar yearly, first at the Baker and
last year at the Bungalow. Until yes
terday road companies prevented the
presentation of the company this year,
which compares favorably with the stock
company of 1909, and more than favor
ably with that of the Winter of 1908.
New faces are many. While Miss
Jewel will take the position of leading
woman later in t.he season, with the ex
ception of W. H. Dills, Earl Dwire and
Leo Undhart, the company is a new
one. .Margo Duffet, the second woman,
had not an available part this week and
will make, ner first appearance with the
company next season.
When compared with Baker Stock
Company offerings of the past, "Old
Heidelberg ' stands in a position by it
self, by reason of . the gorgeousness of
the settings, the elaborate costuming of
the play and the well-balanced company.
For a first performance there was scarce
ly a hitch. From the rise of the curtain
the play went with sprightliness and
vigor that more than bore comparison
with the recent traveling companies in
Portland.
The presence of the students in their
gay uniforms; the ' student singing and
the general elr of college days; the re
frains of the airs so delightfully ren
dered by the Oregon male quartet all
these made the presentation of ' Old
Heidelberg" one of the events of the sea
son. While, owing to his long acquain
tance with the Portland play-going
public, William Dills was heartily re
ceived neither Franklyn Underwood,
leading man, nor Frances Slossom, lead
ing ingenue, had the slightest reason
to doubt the cordiality of their re
spectlve receptions. Mr. Underwood
appeared at the Marquam two years
ago and since then has been on the
Orpheum circuit.
Almost too well known to need re
capitulation is "Old Heidelberg." At
present it is apropos by reason of its
similarity to an incident in the life
of King George "V, of England. Karl
Helnrich (Mr. Underwood), heir ap
parent to an European minor principal
ity breaks away from state environ
ments for a year at Heidelberg, where
he fits in with student life, falls in love
with pretty Kathle (Miss Slossom), the
keeper's daughter, and looks forward to
a year of happiness. In four months
he is summoned to the throne. He bids
farewell to Kathie and for two years
resigns himself to the repressive life
of the palace. Two years later he makes
a hurried visit to Heidelberg. All but
two of his student friends have gone
and as he is now "noble" they cannot
be his friends. Kathle and he have a
last scene together; they pledge re
membrance; he goes to take up his
duties and curtain.
Franklin Underwood played Karl
Heinrich with remarkable intuition.
He showed the development of the
character of the immature boy into the
merry, care-free student, thence by a
big jump into the almost-misanthropic
man. Underwood's diction is clear. He
is of good presence and he entered into
a full realization of the character he
was portraying. He was at his best
as the bashful youth, first entering
Heidelberg life.
Miss Slossom made a charming little
ICathie. As her character was that of
a Viennese, her excellent dressing was
explained, although as a rule Heidel
berg innkeepers' daughters do not look
so delightful, by half, as did Miss Slos
som. Miss Slossom will play leads un
til the arrival of Miss Jewel the end
of May, although they will all be of
an ingenue nature. She bids fair to
-rival Miss Jewel in public affection.
As a "gentleman's gentleman" John W.
Sherman in the part of Lutz, the valet,
supplied comedy so delicately applied it
might have been satire. Mr. Sherman
might have been a character lifted out
of Thackeray, so carefully did he por
tray the idea of the man who endeavors
to pattern himself after his master's
greatness, when the great man himself
is not around.
William Dills and Earl Dwire are old
and much-liked Bakeronians hack on the
old stage. Dills gave an interpretation
of the guide, preceptor and friend of the
princeling that was a revelation. It has
been so customary to see Dills in char
acter parts, such as a fussy, hen-pecked
husband that to see him In the pose of a
scholar and portraying a scholar that
was a vivid personality was unusual. .
' Dwire lent his usual grace to a part
that called for little except the wearing
of a military uniform. Eyen if he was
not quite condescending enough in the
part of a Heidelberg senior .student, Dan
Bruce portrayed the live student of the
good fellow variety and stood head and
shoulders over his fellow students. Lil
lian Andrews was capable in a character
sketch as a servant, and Ralph Lee gave
an ideal representation of a waiter. The
other characters were in good hands.
The play was staged under the direc
tion of Mr. Dills. It will play all week,
with matinees Wednesday and Saturday,
and will be followed Sunday by George
Ade's comedy, "Just Out of College."

Under Tonic Treatment Hor Appetite) t

of Her Trouble Disappeared as
Her Blood Was Built Up.
Weak, pale, nervous, ambttionless peo
ple have their most trying time in tbe
spring and early summer when the effect
of the shut-up, inactive life of the past
winter shows iteelf. To be strong, active,
energetio, hungry may seem impose! bie
to the sufferer with thin, sluggish blood
but it is not as the following ease shows:
Mrs. L. H. Litscher, whose husband is
a grocer, of Dayton, Ore., has found
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to have so muoh
merit that she gives them hearty praise.
She says :
"About fifteen years ago my blood
became thin and I was generally run
down owing to weakness common to my
sex. My heart bothered me, my stomach
was weak and I had no appetite. I was
subject to diiainess and headaches and
felt tired and without ambition. I was
nervous and could not sleep weU. This
was my condition every spring as the
confinement indoors during the winter
seemed to impoverish my blood.
"The doctors said that I needed some
thing to build ma up but they never
seemed to help me. It was not until I
tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I
found a medicine adapted to my case.
The pills helped me in a few days. My
appetite picked up and I grew stronger.
By the time I had taken six boxes my
blood was in good condition and I was
cured.
"I take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills every
epring and am in good health as a result.
I have taken the pills after childbirth
and I have found nothing better to
strengthen me. They are good for the
nursing mother and child. I caa hardly
find words to express my gratitude for
being restored to good health."
Our valuable booklet, "Plain Talks to

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are highly
recommended for ansamia, chlorosis, de

RAGE IN INDIANA CLOSE
BEVERIDGE AND KERN EVEN IN
TALENT AND POPULARITY,
Stand on Tariff Bill May Cost Re
publican Friendship of Old
Line Leaders.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 9. The Indiana
political situation is the theme of discus
sion among all classes. Albert J. Bev
eridge or John W. Kern la to be the next
United States Senator from Indiana, bar
ring death or accident, and tbe two men
are almost evenly equipped In personal
popularity and native talents.
Mr. Beverldge never has been backed
by the solid party in Indiana. . He Is not
a favorite with some of the old-line Re
publicans, as In his stand for the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill, many of them feel that
their obligations to him are no greater
than his to the party. There Is here,
therefore, a probability in favor of loss
of votes.
As nominee of his party, Mr. Kern has
made two races for the Governorship and
one race for the Vice-Presidency and was
a candidate for the caucus nomination
for United States Senator two years ago.
In all these he was defeated. He has
many strong friends ardent admirers, in
fact but he has some very persistent
enemies outside of the liquor element.
