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

"but I can't talk to you now."
Mr. i and Mrs. Roosevelt, Jr., are on

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.
Party Ready to Move.
v After Ms visit to police headquarters,
Johnson returned to the Seal Rock House
this afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock and
boxed nine fast rounds with Al Kauf
man and George Cotton.
.Johnson leaves tomorrow night on the 9
o'clock train for Reno. He will be ac
companied by the full quota of training
partners, which includes Big Hart, George
Cotton, A! Kaufman, Doc Furey, George
Sutton, Al Burns and two or three others.
Reservations were made for the party
today. Johnson will arrive in the Sage
brush State the first thing Friday morn
ing, where he will proceed to Rick De
Bernardi's training resort.
A larger sized audience greeted the
champion in his gymnasium when he re
turned from police headquarters today.
After punching the bag viciously fully 15
minutes, Al Kaufman was taken on for
four rounds. Cotton then donned the

LONDON, June 22. The wedding of
Prince Antoine Albert Radziwill of Rus
sia and Miss Dorothy Deacon, of Bos
ton, which was set for today, has been
postponed.
An authorized statement issued says
no date has yet been fixed for the cere
mony, the postponement of which, it was
first - announced, was due to the non
arrival here of certain necessary papers.
Prince Radizwill, who has Just returned
from a hurried visit to Paris, declined to
discuss the matter, but, according to re
ports, the Russian authorities have
shown great displeasure at the union
and have consequently been dilatory In
forwarding the documents. Without
which the marriage, will be impossible.
The Prince's mother recently demanded
that her son postpone his marriage for
at least two years.
MINER'S HOUSE BLOWN UP
Man and Woman Have Narrow Es
cape From Death Suspect Taken.
HELENA, Mont., June 22. (Special.)
A dastardly attempt on the lives of Les
lie Williams, foreman of the Elkhorn
mine, and his wife, by the blowing up
of the nine-room house which they oc
cupy near the mine, was made last night.
Only meager details of the incident were
received, but from the information ob
tained, 25 pounds of dynamite was placed
under the house and at 11 o'clock Mr. and
Mrs. WilllamB, who were asleep in the
house, were awakened by a loud noise
and a severe jar. The explosion did lit
tle damage, however, and the house
can easily be repaired.
The Sheriff's office, of Boulder, was
notified of the occurrence and made a
thorough investigation which resulted
yesterday in the arrest of a foreign la
borer, who recently had been discharged
by Foreman Williams. That he sought
revenge for being discharged is thought
to have been the motive for the act. He
is under arrest.

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
