NOT EVEN TAFT CAN
RESTORE HARMONY
Breach in Republican Party
May Require Loss of
Election to Repair.
MINORITY'S FIGHT BITTER
Insurgents, While Professing loy
ally to President, Have Nothing
but Criticism to Offer in
Returning to Floor.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU "Wash
ington, May 8. The Republican party
no longer dominates Congress. While
nominally in control in Senate and
House of Representatives, the Repub
licans, as a matter of fact, constitute
today a hopeless minority, powerless
to legislate as they would; powerless
to carry out the will of the Admin
istration. Both branches of the Na
tional Legislature are in the hands of
a mob made up of Democrats and Re
publican insurgents, and but "for the
steadfast regularity of President Taft,
this mob would have control of the
entire Government.
The situation is without parallel in
recent years. What It will lead to not
even the boldest politicians dare pre
dict. Nobody -knows. Certain it is,
however, that the breach in the Re
publican party has opened so wide that
not even the President, the great
pacificator, can now bring the warring
factions together.
War of Extermination Suggested.
In the judgment of some of the older
Republicans, there is only one solu
tion of the great problem to relinquish
the government for the time being to
the Democrats, and fight out factional
differences In the Republican ranks
until one element or the other is ex
terminated. "Invite war to the finish between the
regulars and the insurgents," is the
suggestion that has been made, and
apparently that Is the only alternative
left.
While it is true that the Democrats
and insurgents are in control In Con
gress, there Is no great sympathy be
tween them. The Democrats do not
believe In insurgency of the type now
rampant; they would not for a minute
acknowledge the leadership of such
men as LaFollette. Bevertdge. Bristow,
Polndexter. Norrls or Murdock. But it
serves their political purposes to join
with the Insurgents In overthrowing
the majority of the Republican party
In Congress, and in thwarting the will
of the Republican admlnlstraton. Hence
the coaltion.
But beyond this the Democrats have
no use for the insurgents. They do
not want the insurgent faction to dom
inate the Republican party, for such a
party would draw heavily from the
Democratlo ranks; would diminish their
itrength In Congress and throughout
the country. The ultra-radicalism of
the insurgents would appeal to
thousands of men of Bryanistic ideas.
Hence, if the time should come when
the Insurgents should dominate and
become the Republican party, the Dem
ocracy would be in the same relative
position it occupied before the insur
rection took place.
Fight May Cost Flection.
It is realized that the fight fbr
supremacy in the Republican party can
not be won before the .approaching
campaign; it may require several years;
the Republicans' may lose the next
Presidential election as a result of its
division Into regulars and insurgents,
and if it loses the Presidency, it is
likely to lose both branches of Con
gress as well. But this, in the opinion
Df a number of regulars, may be the
price that will have to be paid before
insurgency can be wiped out.
A noteworthy thing about the present
situation is that the insurgents in both
Dranches of Congress express their loy
alty and their friendship to his legisla
tive programme. But without exception,
when opportunity offers for a vote, they
line up against the Administration. They
fro to the White House to declare their
Blleglance to the Administration, and
when they get back to the Capitol they
Ring a different song. There they have
nothing but criticism to offer on the
Administration and on the party pro
gramme. In the eyes of the President
this is treachery, and is being so dealt
with.
At the present time the insurgents are
In a small minority in the Republican
ranks. There are less than 40 insurgents
In a House on the most liberal reckoning,
and strictly speaking only 23 who insurgs
on any and all occasions, while in the
Senate there are 13 out-and-out Insur
gents, with perhaps seven or eight others
In various stages of insurgency, but who
as a general rule are regular. This is a
decided minority, for there are 219 Re
publicans in the House and 69 in the Sen
ate. And yet this minority, by combining
with the Democrats, is able to make up
a majority of each house of Congress.
Bitterness Prolongs Struggle.
The strength of Insurgents throughout
the country is relatively as great as that
shown in Congress, but probably no
greater. Therefore, if it comes to a life
and death struggle between the regulars
and the insurgents, the regulars will go
Into the fray greatly outnumbering their
enemies, but the smaller force will be
spurred on by the bitterest feelings
toward the majority of the Republican
party, and probably will give long battle
before submitting. It is more likely that
the larger force will win in the end. but
in the protracted fight many men may
be lost to the Republican party, and will
turn up eventually in the Democratic
ranks. ' which is quite satisfactory to
the Democratic leaders, as it will tend
to continue them in power, once they
gain control of the Government.
"I venture the prediction," said a
venerable Republican member of the
Senate, "that the Democrats will get
control of our Government and hold it
for a long term of years. Everything
is shaping up that way. They have
never had a better opportunity for
carrying a Congressional election than
is presented this year, and success 1
November is very likely to be followed
by another and greater victory two
years hence. With the Republican party
torn asunder, as It is today, I fail to
see how It can hope to continue In
power, for the feeling between regu
lars and insurgents is very bitter; each
is ready to jump at the other's throat,
and neither faction is in any mood to
compromise or bury differences for the
good of the party.
All May Fall Together.
"The Insurgents insist that the coun
try is going to the demnition bow
wows with me present Republican
leaders in control: the regulars are
' not willing that the insurgents shall
assume guardianship over the old
party, so it looks to me as if we would
ail ko down together."
Chat im Jujitoua man's views, but it
is the opinion of a. man whese judg
ment is worth something. And careful
inquiry anions- Renublicans of the 'old
organization discloses a similar feeling
to be more or less general. There are
those who still hone that the Demo
crats will do their usual stunt of
throwing away a choice opportunity,
thereby enabling the Republicans to
remain In control, though divided, but
even these optimistic ones pause ana
wonder what material good will be
accomplished if the next. House, like
the present, is nominally Republican,

REUNION TIME IS NEAR
EACH YEAR DESCENDANTS OF
RISEHARTS GATHER.
Eighth Meeting Will Be Held This
Year at Olex, Gilliam County,
June 7 to 10.
CONDON, Or., May 9. (Special.)
Descendants of Louis and Elizabeth
Rinehart, Oregon pioneers of 1854, will
hold their eighth annual reunion at the
home of the only surviving daughter,
Mrs. Sarah Cram, at Olex, Gilliam
County, June 7-10 inclusive. Scattered
over Oregon. Washington. Idaho and Cali
fornia and a few Eastern states are 350
direct descendants of this couple. About
BOO of that number are expected to attend
this year's gathering.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Rinehart have been
dead for a number of years. Louis Rine
hart was a native of Germany, born in
1801. His wife was a native of Tennes
see, born in 1807. They were the par
ents of 13 children eight sons and five
daughters and lived to, see all of them
married and with children of their own.
Of the children, only one daughter, Mrs.
Crura, and four sons survive the pioneer
couple. The sons are; J. H. Rinehart, of
Portland; Henry Rinehart, Walla Walla;
William Rinehart, Idaho, and Jasper
Rinehart. Ashland.
Married in Tennessee, Mr. and Mrs.
Rinehart crossed the plains to Oregon
in 1854. locating on a homestead near
Eugene. Lane County. They lived there
until 1866. when they went to Union
County, settling at Summerville, where
they lived continuously until their death.
These annual reunions were inaugur
ated seven years ago and have been held
at the following Oregon cities: Portland,
during the Lewis and Clark Exposition;
Freewater, Mayville, Eugene and three
times at the old home at Summerville..
These gatherings are the occasion for a
general visit by the relatives, who rarely
miss attending. Last year's reunion at
Freewater was the occasion of the mar
riage of one of the grand-daughters.
Every year one day is set aside as "Pub
lic day," when friends and neighbors
from the surrounding country are in
vited to attend and are entertained. The
relatives usually bring tents with them
and during the three or four days' cele
bration live out-of-doors. One immense
mess tent is erected where the kinfolk
dine together, the meals being prepared
and served by four or five cooks, especial
ly employed. One of the essential de
tails, a commissary department, always Is
provided and an adequate supply of pro
visions Is arranged for in advance of the
reunion.
So numerous are the relatives of the
dead couple that the railroads operating
throughout the Pacific Northwest an
nually grant special reduced rates for
those traveling to the reunion. The an
nual address this year will be delivered
by T. A. Rinehart, of La Grande, grand
son of the couple in whose honor the
gathering will be held.

PROBE HOT ENDED
Taft Tells Congress He Can
Handle Sugar Frauds.
PROSECUTION IS NOT LAX
Danger of Granting Immunity hy
Investigation by Congress Is
Grave Executive Desires Not
to Be Embarrassed.
WASHINGTON. May 9. President
Taft sent a special message to the
House of Representatives today to tell
why he considers a Congressional in
vestigation of the sugar frauds in the
Customs Service inexpedient.
It is, he says, because "a Congres
sional Investigation at the time would
embarrass the Executive Department
in the continuance and completion of
the investigation of the appraisers and
other officers of the customs' service."
The President's reply was to a reso
lution passed In the House on April 14,
calling on him to state his reasons for
not wishing a Congressional investi
gation as he had intimated in his mes
sage at the opening of the session.
House Gets Information.
The President did not lose an oppor
tunity to tell the House when a Con
gressional investigation was necessary.
"The necessity for Congressional in
vestigation." he wrote, "arises first,
when an executive investigation is
either not in good faith or lacking in
vigor, or when additional legislation
is needed to prevent a recurrence of
the frauds.
"The primary duty, with respect to
frauds in the legislative session, falls
on the Executive to direct proper ex
ecutive action and upon the discovery
of fraud and crime to direct judicial
action to recover what is due the Gov
ernment and to bring to justice the
guilty persons.
Prosecution Is Vigorous.
"The report of the Secretary of the
Treasury and Attorney-General show
Deyond question the utmost vigor and
effectiveness in the Investigation and
prosecution up to this time and the
achievement of exceptional results in
the recovery of moneys of which the
Government had been defrauded, the
Indictment of participants in the
frauds and In the reformation of the
Customs Service with a view to the
prevention of such frauds in the fu
ture." The danger of granting immunity to
any offenders through a congressional
investigation, the President pointed
om, was still grave.
PATTULLO GRILLS COX
HEAD OF MUNICIPAL ASSOCIA
TION MAKES CHARGES.
In Letter to Public, Society's Presi
dent Declares Police Are Negli
gent Official Replies.
Making the direct charge that the su
pervision of the Police Department under
Chief Cox has been either criminally
negligent or that graft exists. In con
nection with the suppression of the so
cial evil, prizefights and gambling, D. A,
-attuiio, president of the .Municipal As
sociation, yesterday issued a letter in
which he calls attention" to moral condi
tions In Portland. The letter follows:
"Last week, there appeared articles in
the evening papers purporting to contain
interviews with Chief of Police Cox re
garding conditions in the North End and
dealing in particular with the social evil.
If he is correctly quoted, the report re
veals a strange state of affairs in the
Police Department.
"Over six months ago. Mayor Simon
stated that he gave positive orders to
the Chief that this evil must be sup
pressed, yet on his own personal inspec
tion Chief Cox finds that the business Is
being run practically wide open. We give
him the benefit of the doubt, and as
sume that he Issued orders to his force
as directed by the Mayor. Why, then
have these not been carried out, and why
has it taken him six months to -discover
this? The facts In the case have been
notorious to every citizen who has any
knowledge of the city's life, and two con
clusions are forced upon us: first, that
the supervision of the Police Department
is criminally negligent and, second, that
somewhere there has been graft, for the
conditions prevailing never do continue
to exist without graft. It will take more
than a spasmodic attempt at cleaning up
the town to convince the public that there
Is any sincerity In this effort of the
Chief.
"Mayor Simon, also at the time above
referred to, stated that he had issued
orders to the Chief that gambling was
not to be tolerated, but as a matter of
fact it is freely indulged in, and in the
heart of the city games are being run
by both white men and Chinese prac
tically without hindrance. An occasional
raid is made, but the purpose is evi
dently understood by the parties inter
ested and the game goes on.
"Notwithstanding the affirmations of
the City Executive that there has been no
prizefighting in Portland, two offenders
were on Saturday bound over to the
grand Jury charged with a breach of the
statute prohibiting prizefights, but the
city authorities have in no way aided in
the prosecution.
"These facts are presented to the pub
lic because they have a momentous bear
ing upon present conditions in our city's
life. " They point to gross failure in the
enforcement of the laws which lie at the
foundation of the healthy business as well
as moral development thereof, failure for
which the city administration Is chiefly
responsible.
"Evidence supporting the statements
above made Is in our possession. If nec
essary it will be produced, but in view
of the present ' confessions of the Chief
of Police, we presume it is not required
to convince any man that there is some
thing radically wrong with the machinery
of the Police Department. "
"The tenor of Mr. Pattullo's communi
cation is very unfair," said Chief Cox,
when shown it last night. "The condi
tions in the North End are recent. I
know when the original order was is
sued by me the evil was successfully
abolished. Since that time, though many
arrests have been made, and every pre
caution taken to suppress it, a few have
crept in and covertly operated, though
not openly and flagrantly, as it is inti
mated.
"As to gambling, I would have to be
shown the proof. What I mean by this
is promiscuous gambling. I do not be
lieve it. Occasionally my men make ar
rests for it, but it is generally of some
private game. I am doing all in my
power, and I believe it is as much as any
man could do, to suppress these things.
"As to prizefighting, I do not know of
any taking place In JPortland since I
Advice to Women
A Message from a Famous
Beauty- Specialist to Women
Lacking in Energy and
Vitality
Thousands of women vainly attempt
to improve their complexions and to
remove blackheads, crows' feet and
other blemishes, through the use of
cosmetics. This treatment fails because
the trouble lies far deeper than the
skin. They are suffering from impure
and impoverished blood. This condi
tion is in many cases due. to a catarrhal
condition of the whole system, which
finds its expression in sallow, muddy
complexion, dark-circled eyes, general
weakness of the system, and perhaps
most plainly in the weeping of mucous
membranes that is commonly called
catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is, prop
erly speaking, Catarrh. Banish this
catarrh, and the complexion will clear
as if by magic, eyes will brighten, faces
become rosy and shoulders erect. Per
fect beauty goes only with perfect
health, and perfect health for women
can only be obtained through one cer
tain treatment that which will cure
catarrh.
Mme. Swift. New Tork. the famous
beauty specialist known throughout
the world and an accepted authority on
all relating- thereto, states that the one
positive and permanent relief for ca
tarrh is Rexall Mucu-Tone. Here is her
letter:
"I can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a cure
for systemic catarrh. Its tonic effects
are remarkable. It builds up the
strength and restores vitality. If women
wno are tired and run down, lacking in
energy and vitality, will use Rexall
Mucu-Tone. they will praise as I do its
strengthening and healing qualities."
Rexall Mucu-Tone works through the
blood, acting thus upon the mucous
cells the congestion and inflammation
of which causes local catarrh. This
remedy causes poison to be expelled
from the system, and the blood Is puri
fied and revitalized. Thus the natural
functions of the mucous cells are re
stored, and the membranes are cleansed
and made strong. We know that
Rexall Mucu-Tone does relieve catarrh.
We positively guarantee to refund the
money paid us for this remedy in every
case where the user is dissatisfied. It
is. a builder of vigorous health and a
creator of good complexions. Price 50
cents and $1.00 per bottle. Mail orders
filled. It may be obtained only at our
store. The Rexall Store. The Owl Drug
Co., Inc . cor. 7th and Washington Sts.
have been in office. The fact that two
men were held to the grand jury on a
charge of conducting and engaging in
prizefights, is not proof conclusive to me
that they were and to no one else, who
looks at the situation fairly."
6000 ACRES TO BE SET

be from 300 to 800 an acre.
J. J. HILL'S HAND SEEK
NEW IDAHO POWER CORPORA
TIONS SAID TO BE HIS.
Move Looked Upon as Part of In
terests' General Railroad Invasion
of Northwestern States.
BOISE. Idaho, May 9. (Special.) The
filing of articles of incorporation with
the Secretary of State in this city this
week by the Tri-State Railway & Power
Company and the Columbia Power &
Light Company, is believed to be but
another move on the part of the Hill in
terests In its general railroad invasion
of the Northwest states. The papers were
filed by C. M. McDowell, said to be a
personal representative of James J. Hill,
whose object is said to be to secure con
trol of - and furnish electric power for
feeding lines to the Hill system.
The articles filed by both companies
are practically the same in detail
throughout and under them they have as
their object the construction and opera
tion of everything connected with the
steam railroads, electric lines, gas plants,
electric power, electric heat. electric
light, hydro-electric systems, water sys
tems of all kinds, transportationjrrlga
tion and other schemes. The capital
stock of the Columbia Power & Light
Company is given as $3,000,000. while that
of the Tri-State Company is ostensibly
only $10,000.
It is stated on good authority that the
Hill interests will . interlace Washington,
Oregon. Idaho with steam and electric
lines, operating from Vancouver, Port
land. Walla Walla, Lewlston, Boise, On
tario. Albany and numerous other points.
