Artificial curls and the arrangement of Tiair by the girl atudents of the High School hers has created a con troversy that bids fair to exceed any thing of the kind ever known in school circles. When Principal Ansel Williams re quested two of the students to leave the classroom and rearrange their hair by eliminating their false curls, there was great excitement, but It was noth ing compared with the next move. A girl who defied the new rule was sent home and the trouble Immediately increased. Her father protested and today there was a report to the effect that a committee will appear before the Board of Education and protest against the principal or teachers dictat ing the particular kind of dress or arrangement ot the hair of the girls. It Is also said that hobble aklrts have been frowned upon, but as yet no edict has been Issued against them. The girl students declare that It may be neces sary for them to form a union for pro tection against orders of dress and hair arrangement reform.

EARLY ACTION ON TIFF UNLIKELY Winter Session Is Too Short for Results AMENDED RULES NECESSARY Enough MemBers Oppose Re vision to Defeat It. SUBSIDY SEEMS DOOMED Little Filibustering 'Would Accom plish Death, and Democrats Are Expected to Bend Energies in That Direction. BY HARRT J. BROWN. OREGONIAN NEW3 BUREAU. Wash ington, Deo. 4. Tariff revision and ship subsidy are ' two features of the Taf t legislative programme that are likely to encounter serious difficulty during the short session of Congress. In fact, there Is no chance whatever for the enactment of any kind of a tariff bill, even one pro posing to revise a single schedule. And the prospects for a subsidy bill are not much brighter. Before Congress can undertake seri ously to enter upon the revision of the tariff, schedule by schedule. It will be necessary to revise the rules of the Sen ate ad House of Representatives. Until this Is done, any tariff bill that may be brought before either House will be sub ject to all manner of amendment, and no power on earth, can confine It to the one schedule which forms the basis for the original measure. . Both Houses 'Must Revise Rules. It will be necessary to revise the rules of .both bouses In order to shut off amendments, for if one house alone places a restriction upon the right of amendment, the other can Ignore the re striction, and' make such amendments as its members may desire. Therefore, if for no other reason, tariff revision at the short session seems alto gether out of the -question, for the Presi dent is not in favor of sweeping revision, but merely revision ot a single schedule at a time. People familiar with the sit uation in Congress are quick to recog nize the utter impossibility of amend ing the Senate rules In any such radical manner in a short session where time is valuable. But aside from this consideration, if the rules should be amended so that only one schedule could be considered at a time, the Senate would not pass any kind of a tariff bill this Winter. There are some Senators interested particularly in every schedule of the Payne-Aldrlch bill; Sena tors who are opposed to any further re ductions. The wool schedule is the one against which the President Is expected to direct (Concluded on Page 4.) CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES. KANSAS GROWING RICH; NOT IN BABIES STORK GIVES WAY TO MARCH' OF GRAIN CROPS. In Four Tears Infant Industry .Drops Off 4000 in Famous Sunflower State. TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 4 (Special.) While the Kansas Tax Board Is shout ing to ' the world that Kansas has $1,000,000,000 worth of iaxable property, with F. D-. Coburn telling how Kansas leads in wheat and stands third or fourth in corn, and the labor bureau Is extolling the greatness of tha Kan sas manufacturing plants and the high wages of the laboring men and women. Dr. S. J. Crumblne, secretary of the State Board of Health, and official press agent of the Kansas Baby and Health, must take a back seat. ' Nevertheless, the Kansas baby crop is falling off at the rate of 2000 a year. while all other lines of Industry were . proclaiming tremendous in creases, the stork could show little cause for jubilation. The wheat, corn and oats crop of Kansas is worth $170,000,000 this year, an increase of several millions over a year ago. The Kansas farmer grinned and went to town and bought another motor car. But the long-legged, long billed caterer to the Infant industry is downcast and sad. Here are the figures on the births In Kansas for four fiscal years: 1906-1907, 25,930 ; 1907-1908, 25,980; 1908-1909, 23,850: 1909-1910. 21.926. INSANE TO BE AMUSED Federal Government Will Test New Cure for Maladies. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. (Special.) Uncle Sam has gone into the theatrical business. At a cost ot $250,000 he has constructed a playhouse at the Govern merit Hospital tor the Insane and will run a continuous performance. There are 4000 inmates in the Institution. Specialists claim amusement is one of the greatest aids in curing Insanity. The Government theater at the local insane asylum 13 the first constructed in the treatment of insane, so far as known. Amateur theatricals and other forms of amusement have been fur nished In a large hall, but the seating capacity was so limited and facilities for the care of insane so inadequate that its use was greatly restricted. The new theater has a (Seating ca paclty of 1200. with a large stage, spe cially designed scenery, commodious dressing-rooms and electrical equip ment. That the auditorium might be used for dances, the orchestra floor Is level instead of pitched. A string orchestra has been organ ized at the asylum and a glee-club and moving-picture plant has been estab lished. CO-EDS WILLING TO WALK State University Men to Be Relieved . of Cab Hire. UNTVERSITT OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., Dec. 4. (Special.) A leading edi torial in the Oregon Emerald under the caption "Cab, Lady?" gives expression to a sentiment which has been felt about the campus that the cab and au tomobile, as adjuncts to college dances and theater parties, -should be taboo. The editorial Is addressed to the women of the university and their attitude in dicates that immediate steps will be taken to discourage the practice of liv ery hire. The truth is that but few of the stu dents can really afford this, luxury, and the contention is that these few should overlook their personal wishes in this matter In order to relieve the larger portion of the student body of the obli gation. It is believed that the spirit of democracy which has always prevailed here will bring about a speedy termina tion of thla embarrassment. FIGHTING RESUMED SOUTH OF BORDER Peace Commission Attacked by Troops AMERICANS DEMAND RELIEF Rebels Say Grievance Is Against State, Not Diaz. - y . HEAVY FIRING IS HEARD Disorders Break Out Near Presidio and Candelaria Ojinaja Scene of Battle Guerrero Reported in Insurrectos' . Hands. EI, PASO, Tex., Dec. 4. A telegram from Marfa, Tex., tonight states that apprehension and excitement prevails at both Presidio and Candelaria, 90 miles south of the Texas side, of the river, owing to the revolutionary dis orders reported on the Mexican aide. Nothing definite has yet been learned of the reported fight at Ojlnaga Satur day night. Firing has been heard at intervals, but so far as can be learned there has been' no loss of life. The few Americans living along the river at Presidio and Candelaria have been standing guard to prevent an in vasion and there Is a strong demand that the Government send troops to their relief. Members of the peace commission returned to Chihuahua today and re- nnrt. ihflt thai. mtclr .1 .. embarrassed by the fact that soldiers followed at their heels. At Guerrero, just as they were beginning to talk with the insurrectos,. a peon arrived with word that the soldiers were on the way, whereupon the meeting promptly came to an end. Aiain grievance Against state. At Guerrero, and also at San Antonio, the commissioners were told that the main grievance is against the state government rather than against Diaz. Today telegrams were exchanged with the capital with reference to the pro posal that the government forces be halted pending another conference be tween the commission and Insurrectos. Seemingly authentic reporta tonight state that Guerrero has been taken by the revolutionists with some loss of life. Details are lacking. It is report ed that General Plata, commanding this military zone, is to be succeeded by General Juan Hernandez immediately. Peace Commission Not Dias Body. It was learned today that the peace commission which left Chihuahua Fri day to treat with'the insurrectos was acting under the authority of Governor Sanchez, and not President Diaz. The plan originated with Jose M. Gandera, prominent citizen of Chihuahua, who urged Its adoption by the chief execu tive In the interest of peace, and to prevent bloodshed. The following men compose the commission: Jose M. Gandera, Amador Gonzales. Dr. Luis de la Garza, of Chihuahua, and Eduardo and Fernando Gonzales, of Guerrero. It is stated that the author ity of the commission is limited to Im pressing the futility of an uprising upon the insurrectos. The commandant at Fort Sam Hous ton, the point from which troops would move, should conditions warrant, has received no advices regarding the re ported fighting at Ojlnaga. Mex., early tonight. A report from Oporto says that troops today attacked riotous railway strikers. but were forced to retire after repeated volleys. There were several casualties. MISS TAFT ENTERTAINED Captain Graham L.
