Klectrlo Lights and Offer Many Conveniences Present Shovhoose Lacks. Nej-otiattorw were closed yesterday for the lease by the Fantages Theater Com pany of the quarter block at the north west corner of Seventh and Alder streets owned by Ralph W. Hoyt, and present eite of the Lyric Theater. This lease is based on a ground valuation of $300,000, being 6 per cent net on that amount, or 12000 a month, with the lessee paying all taxes, insurance and other expenses on the property. The lc-ase is to take effect on May 1, 1911, -when the present leases expire, and the property will be converted into a vaudeville theater for Pantages circuit. The lease Is made for a term of 30 years, with a revaluation clause at the end of 15 years. This site, regarded as one of the finest locations in the city for theatrical pur poses. is to be Improved with one of the best showhouses in the city. The build ing will be absolutely fireproof, of Class A construction, four stories high and will have a seating capacity of between 1400 and 1(500 people. Emll Schacht & Son, architects, are now preparing the plans. Store Space Provided. The new playhouse will be arranged with stores on the ground floor of the Seventh-street frontage and with offices above. These stores and offices will be of small depth, so as to allow for a max imum width of the theater. The stage will have a width of 76 feet and a depth of SO feet, and instead of being parallel "with Seventh street, as Is the present tage of the Lyric Theater, It will be e parallel with Alder street, abutting ton the alleyway now leading Into the Grand Theater. The main entrance, to the theater will fee on Seventh street, leading Into the Bide of the parquet Instead of the rear. s Is usually the case. Then tie entire pace on Alder street will be used for -xlts. so that the house may be emptied easily from ths rear while the people are etlll coming Sn through the side entrances. There will be no gallery In the the ater. There will be one large balcony "with a second balcony In the rear of the first. This arrangement will be much the same as In the present Vantages Theater. One of the features of the new house will be 18 exits, six on each side of the -two floors, in the theater proper. There will be 12 boxes in tho house. Building Will Be Fireproof. The structure built of steel and faced with brick, absolutely fireproof, with reinforced concrete hollow tiled floors and reinforced concrete stair cases and balcony. Special attention will be given to the electric lighting features, fixtures on the exterior will be wired, In as the building Is erected so as not to mar the beauty with ex ternal wiring. This will be done under the direction of an expert electrician. The cost of the building is estimated at $125,000. This Is considered low, the reason given being the fact that almost a year will be allowed for the ordering .of the steel. The rush orders for teel and other materials usually sent In for modern buildings Is given as one of the reasons for the high prices and the savings from allowing nine months to complete the order Is said to be great. Mr. Johnson says that May 1 of next year the work of demolishing the present building will be started, work will be rushed night and day and the new playhouse will be ready for opening within four months or pos elbly, three months. New Features lronilsed. "Alexander Pantages. owner of the cloruit. will Introduce entirely new feat ures Into the manner of conducting the new house." said Mr. Johnson last night. "All the attendants will be uniformed, and the patrons of the house will be jflven every modern convenience. There will be hoecking booths for hats and vloaks and all sorts of things which space at the present house does not per ro.lt. Announcement was also made by Mr. Johnson that the present Pantages thea ter would be retained by Mr. Pantages for use for musical comedy and stock productions. Several weeks ago Alexander Pantages opened negotiations with J. c, Alns worth for the lease of the qaurter block t the southwest courier of Sixth and Yamhill streets. This lease was at one time drawn up on a basis of ground val uation of $200,000. but when Mr. Pan tsjires came to Portland he deckled to re open negotiations with Mr. Hoyt for his property at Seventh and Alder.

The Senate, under a unanimous con sent agreement, began voting at 4 o'clock upon the long and short haul amendments, of which a dozen or more had been submitted. The pending amendment was one by Senator Heyburn. of Idaho, for which Senator Dixon, of Montana, 'had presented a substitute. The effect of this was to give the Montana Senator possession of the floor at 4 o'clock. Regulars' Boost Vain. For several days the "regidar" Repub licans had been boasting they had a celar majority to defeat aH of the long and short haul amendments. Tho regulars had been assured of a number of Demo cratic votes. Just before 4 o'clock it came to the knowledge of Senators Al drlch and Elklns that while the Demo crats on their list would vote against the Dixon amendment, they purposed later to suport an amendment introduced by Senator Overman, of North Carolina, the effect of which would be to place all rates on a mileage basis. Such a provision would, be particularly obnoxious to the opponents of a long and short haul provision and they were un able in a hasty poll to show a majority against the Overman amendment. Regulars Make Overtures. Senators Carter, of Montana, and Smoot, of Utah, supporters of a long and short-haul provision, received overtures from the regular Republi cans who offered a compromise In the form of a portion of the original Dixon amendment and a provision taken from an amendment offered by Senator Paynter. Picturing, the political effect of a humiliating defeat through the adop tion of an exclusively Democratic amendment that would put the whole question on a mileage basis, the reg ulars" encountered little difficulty In bringing a large majority of the Sena tors to their way of thinking. The compromise finally adopted was, put In the handsa of Senator Smoot and in turn presented to Senator Dixon, who offered it as a modification of his own amendment just before 4 o'clock. Compromise Goes Wrong. Through the clumsy handling of scissors and paste brush, the composite compro mise was sent to the clerk's desk in a form far different from that intended by its authors. As the clerk began to read Senator Aldrich hurried to the desk of Senator Dixon and a whispered conversa tion ensued. Mr. Dixon clamored for recognition. "I move that the Senate recess," he shouted, "until 4:30." He appealed greatly excited.. The de mand for a recess was received with such cries as "no, no," but on a vote a large majority sustained the demand. There followed a scene of great con fusion. Obviously few realized iwhat the move meant. Evidently the insurgent Re publicans did not know what was hap pening, and Senator Bristow. who had been in the cloakroom, burst Into the chamber with a bundle of papers In his arms, which he threw to the floor with every Indication of anger. Betrayal Is Charged. Senator Cummins hastened to Senator Dixon's seat and Mr. La Follette fol lowed. The conversation that had taken place between Senators Dixon and Aldrich aroused suspicion on every side and a number of Senators, not knowing what the next step was to be, charged they were betrayed. Mr. Dixon ran from seat to seat, assert ing they had "brought the regulars Into camp." and the coalition of Republican and Democratic supporters of the long and short-haul clause would bring a vic tory greater than they had anticipated. Mr. Smoot whipped the compromise into shape. The hour of 4:30 found the work still incomplete. Mr. Dixon demanded an other recess until 5, but protests were made by so many Senators that he ob tained It only for a roll call, which con sumed nearly ten minutes of the precious half hour. Rates Must Be Just. The general conference of the re cess hour resulted in the restoration of the words of the Dixon amendment, which Senator Dixon had agreed to eliminate. These provided that In mak ing exceptions under the long and short haul clause tho Interstate Commerce Commission shall satisfy Itself that all rates involved are just and reasonable. Immediately upon the Senate being again called to order, Mr. Dixon pre sented the compromise. Senator Hay burn interposed apoint of order that the new amendment was not in order under the unanimous consent agree ment, which, he said, contemplated a vote only on matters pending at the time the agreement was made. . This led to a "wrangle, but Vice-President Sherman finally overruled the point of order-and the vote was taken, resulting in the adoption of the compromise amendment.

F0RDNEY TAKES DEFENSE Ieclares Indiana. Senator Has As saulted Republican Party "Re duction on Sugar Duty Would Destroy Big Industry." "WASHINGTON, May 13. In the House of Representatives today, Congressman Fordney, of Michigan, delivered an ad dress In reply to Senator Beveridge's Indiana tariff speech. In which the lat ter criticised the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Fordney declared Beveridge had assaulted the Republican party and held himself up to his constituents as a martyr, representing himself as the savior of his people. Representative Fordney took up Sen ator Beveridge's tariff speech, issue fey issue, and delivered what he believed to be an answer to each of them. Mr. Fordney quoted the Senator as having said President Taft wanted free lum ber. This Fordney dented in toto. Bev eridge's statement that the woolen schedule had remained the same more than 40 years, he also denied, saying it was changed by the Wilson bill with disastrous effects to the industry of the Nation. Mr. Fordney said: Kordney Defends Taft. "The gentleman from Indiana would lead the people of this country to be lieve the President's position on the new tariff bill has been inconsistent; that he changed position since the passage of the new law. President Taft stood for the rates fixed in the Payne bill when it became a law, and he stands for them now. His signing the bill is the best evidence that he stood for it then, and he now states it is the best tariff bill ever placed on our statute books. That is the best evi dence that he stands for it now." When he came to the duties on sugar, Mr. Fordney declared he was unalter ably opposed to any reduction of duty on sugar, declaring such a thing would destroy a magnificent industry. Beveridge Is Challenged.

President Taft has taken the stand that the adoption of the Payne law Is the true test of Republicanism. I agree with him." In conclusion Mr. Fordney declared him self urn alterably opposed to the tariff com mission, declaring it could not possibly be non-partisan and maintained the Con gress Itself was best qualified to do the work of framing a tariff.
