VOL. L.-XO. 15,467. PORTLAND, OREGON, THURSDAY, - JUNE 23, 1910. PRICE FIVE CENTS. TUFT TRIUMPHS IN POSTAL BANK BILL Measure Passes Sen ate Unamended. THREE INSURGENTS HOLD OUT Bristow. Cummins and La Fol lette Vote With Democrats. DEPOSIT LIMIT IS $500 Owing to Time Required to Formu late Regulations, Prediction Is Not Made When System Will i Be In Real Operation. WASHINGTON, June 22-After voting down several amendments; the Senate today decided, 44 to 26, to concur in the House amendments to the postal savings bank bill and thus took the last legis lative step necessary to the establish ment of a postal savings bank in the1 United States. - The measure was included In the Ad ministration's schedule and Its passage marks another triumph for President Taft. In accordance with the programme agreed on yesterday, voting began at 5 o'clock and the bill was passed 15 min utes later. Most of the insurgent Re publicans Joined the regulars in support ing the measure in the final vote, but Senators Brletow, Cummins and La Fol iette refused to yield and cast their bal lots with the Democrats. Senator Chamberlain cast the only Democratic vote for the bill. Bristow Calls It Pipe Line. Beftre the vote there was much dis cussion of the bills. The first speaker was Senator Bristow, of Kansas, who said that he would stay in Washington a month longer rather than accept it. He asserted that a majority of the votes for the House bill would be cast by Sen ators who wanted no postal savings leg islation. Concluding, he said: "The bill creates a pipe line to the speculative centers for the money from all over the country," Simmons denounced the bill as "an ab ject and humiliating surrender to the banks," and predicted that before the end. of the next campaign the bill would be the most unpopular law ever passed by the Republican party, "not excepting the spumed, rejected and trampled-upon Payne-Aldrich tariff law." Pork Barrel Attacked. Declaring the House has rejected every feature for which the Senate had made special endeavor, Hughes read articles from newspapers declaring that the Pres ident had threatened to veto the river and harbors and public buildings bills if the House postal savings bill should fail of acceptance by the Senate. , He demanded to know whether the contents of the pork barrel should' be more potent in influencing Senators than the require ments of the Constitution. Carter defended the bill. Meeting the contention that the bill was an entirely new measure, he declared its provisions were along the lines marked out. by many bills presented at the beginning of the agitation for the postal savings bank. He said that though the bill differed somewhat from the Senate bill, it was the result of compromise, and while not representing the view of aujr one Sena tor or a number of Senators, was still an expression of the "level" sentiment of all. 2 POSTAL. heyduay-rofthexDid Measure Is Blessing. Carter admitted his desire to have the bill amended in some particulars, but found such a course impracticable so late in the session. He expressed confi dence that the measure would prove an unmixed blessing "to struggling men, wo men and children." The postal bank bill as it goes to the President provides for the designation of Postofflces as postal saving depositary offices. The opening of such deposi taries is left to the discretion of a board of three trustees, consisting of the Post master-General, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney -General. This board has complete control of the deposi taries and of their funds. As it would require considerable time for the board to formulate its regulations it is impossible to predict when the pos tal banking system will be in operation. Small Deposits Allowed. At these depositaries any person over 10 years old may make deposits of funds amounting to $1 or multiples of ' that amount. Passbooks will be issued to de positors and interest allowed at the rate of 2 per cent. No person is to be al lowed to deposit more than $100 in any month or to be allowed to have exceed ing $500 to his credit at any time. The withdrawal of funds is to be permitted at any time. The postal savings thus accumulated are to be placed in state and National banks in the. communities in which the deposits are made and the banks are to pay therefor 24 per cent interest. Five per cent of the total deposits are to be held by the Treasurer of the United States as a reserve to guarantee the pay ment of depositors. Banks are required to deposit public (Concluded on Page 3. T. R.

NEGRO MEEK WHEN TAKEN "On Your Way, Kid," He Tells Mounted Patrolman. CHARGE OF SPEEDING MADE If Champion Escapes With Fine To ' day, He Will Be Able to Start for His New Training Quar ters This Evening. SAN FRANCISCO, June 22. For a time late today it appeared that one of the principals in the Fourth of July battle at Reno would be missing, be cause Jack Johnson refused to be ar rested for exceeding the speed limit in his racing automobile. Johnson told Mounted Patrolman Lewis he could only arrest his dead body, but when Lewis, with the assist ance of two other patrolmen, battered down the door of the room in which the champion had locked himself the fighter surrendered as meekly as any ordinary violator of the speed regula tions. Fighter Laughs at Law. Johnson, had been down town secur ing transportation for the members if bis camp and was speeding for his quarters at what Lewis asserted was a 50-mile clip when Lewis attempted to halt him. Johnson laughed derisively at Lewis and, shouting "on your way, kid." was lost in a cloud of dust. Following as fast as his horse could carry him, Lewis arrived a few . min utes after the champion at the train ing camp, where he told Johnson that be must be more careful of the speed laws. Johnson then dramatically de clared that an arrest could only be made over his dead body and locked himself in bis room. Police Batter Down Door. Summoning two other patrolmen, Lewis shoved aside some of the camp followers, who attempted to interfere, and kicked in the door. The champion submitted to arrest and acco-ipanied the officers to the office of Chief of Police Martin, who persuaded Lewis to reduce the charge of resisting an of ficer to that of speeding. No charge was placed against ig Hart, iwho was arrested with Johnson. Producing ?50 cash ball, Johnson was released and instructed to appear for a hearing in the Police Court tomorrow morning. If the champion escapes with a fine he will be able to start for Reno according to schedule tomorrow night.

FROM OX TO AUTO, PIOWEEHS JOYFUL Oregon's Aged Veter ans Have Big Time. LIFE TAKES ON NEW PHASE Like New Day Dawning Is First Ride in Motor-Car. ROYAL WELCOME IS GIVEN Mayor Turns City Over to State's Grand Old Men and Women." Campfire Gathering Closes Day Full of Thrills. PIONEERS ELECT OFFICERS. The following- officers were elected for the ensuing year at the annual business meeting of the Oregon Pio neers' Association last night: President Hon. P. H. D'Arcy, of Salem. Vice-president Colonel Robert A. Miller, of Portland. Secretary George H. Himes (re elected), of Portland. Treasurer Charles E. . Ladd, of Portland. Directors Joseph Buchtel, of Port land; N. H. Bird, of Portland, and Cyrus Walker, of Albany. Beginning with a grand assembly in the Masonic Temple, at which the annual address was delivered, following which came an automobile ride throughout th city and thence to the Armory, where a banquet was served, and ending with the annual business meeting and "campfire1 'gathering of the Oregon Pioneers Asso 'ciation, Portland yesterday paid honor to the early settlers of Oregon. It is estimated that there were fully 1500 people gathered together for the oc casion, coming from all over the West. Men and women, gray-haired and bent with age, who blazed the trail and brought tho flrst civilization to this then wild country, were the guests of Port land, and right royally were they re ceived, and entertained. It was the crowning event of the year for the "boys" of the early days lr Oregon. The Masonic Temple was crowded to overflowing, and the Armory was filled with hungry visitors who were given a repast such as will be a cherished memory to all those who attended. Auto Ride Big Surprise. To every man must ccme the time when he feels that one of the turnstiles of life has been passed, when, by something accomplished- or by the occurrence of some circumstance, the time will always remain in his memory. To hundreds of Oregon's pioneers such a time came yes terday, when, at the close of the pro gramme, the visitors were met at the door of the Masonic Temple by automo biles, in which they were transported about the city. Gray-haired women and men trembled with suppressed excitement when they were told that the big touring cars were there for their particular use. "Yep, I'm a-goin' to ride in one o' them pesky things all right," said one of the "boys." "It's the first time In my life, but I've fit Indians and I guess I can, stand the excitement of riding in this thing." That was the way with the most of those brave old men and women. It was all new to them, their first automobile experience. All of those grand old men and women were given "a ride," and such great joy as they felt was expressed in their faces, which literally shone with happi ness, notwithstanding the wrinkles of go- Wemme and Dickinson There. To E. Henry Wemme and members of the Portland Automobile Club must be given a great deal of credit. Mr. Wemme was right on the spot, here, there and everywhere, helping the old people into the cars and sending them off on the greatest "Joy-ride" of their lives. Presi dent M. C. Dickinson, of the automobile club, personally drove his machine, car rying loads of pioneers back and forth. "Well, if we'd a' had one of these things to cross the plains in the early days. It wouldn't have been quite so hard," was a sentence heard from the lips of many of the old-timers. The annual reunion began at 2 o'clock, when the aged pioneers assembled at the Masonic Temple. They were wel comed at the door by Grand Marshal Joseph Buchtel and a large corps of dis tinguished aides, and shown the way to the auditorium above. Long before the hour set the big hall was filled with people, and promptly on time the exercises were begun. Frederick V. Holman, president of the Oregon Pio neer's Association, called the assembly to order in a few words, after which Rev. D. B. Gray delivered the Innova tion, asking a blessing on those gray heads gathered from far and near. Mayor Gives Welcome. Joseph Simon, Mayor of Portland, was introduced by President Holr.. n to give the address of welcome to the visiting pioneers. The Mayor spoke in happy vein, as follows: "I congratulate you on the auspicious circumstances that attend the opening (Concluded on Page 15.
