BAN FRANCISCO. Dec. II. (Special.)
Death hovered In the enshrouding gray
of the fogs for a tense moment on the
bay thla morning, when the ferryboat
Berkeley, laden with 1000 commuters,
swung bow-on In collision with the Gov
ernment tug Vigilant off the east end
of Ooat Island.
Two captains, each tried on the waters
of the bay for a score of yeara. were at
the wheels of their boats when the
crash came. During the seconds that
preceded the collision each had sensed
the near presence of the otber. but in
the general confusion of horns and bells
had misjudged their distances.
There were screams of frightened wo
men. Llfe-preeervera were dragged rrom
beneath the seats and pulled from the
overhead racks. Officers of the Berke
ley, scattering through the cabins, did
much to allay the momentary fears,
while the deckhands gathered at the
lifeboats.
Swinging In her own length the Vigil
ant, unable to avoid the Impact, man
aged to meet the Berkeley, cumbersome
to handle, almost broadside. The shock
tore away the guardrail of the Berkeley
the starboard side and cracked
plate on the Vigilant. Other than that
and the pantc no damage was done.

Opposition to Lame Representative
Grows, Dally Ben Selling; Has
Pledges of Many for President
of the Oregon Senate.
Announcement by Representative Ea
ton, of Lane, that he had the Speaker
ship of the lower house of the coming
Legislature virtually In his vest pocket
has served to make him the crnter of
attack by the varloua other candidates.
Half a dozen aspirants are now busy
breaking up Eaton's following, and It
haa developed that many of the
pledges the Lane County candidate
claimed were not Ironclad or binding.
That he has S3 votea assured him, or
even half that number. Is now bnlng
vigorously disputed In many quarters.
Four outside candidates for the
Speakership were In Portland last night
canvassing for votes. They were M. V.
Kgglcston. of Jackson: L, T. Reynolds,
of Marlon; W. H. Hollls. of Washing
ton, and J. P. Rusk, of Wallowa. They
were busy getting acquainted with the
local delegation and got assurances
from at least three of the Multnomah
delegation that there la no general
tie-up to Eaton. The three who gave
thla assurance were Representatives
Fouts, Bryant and Abbott. .
W. J. Clemens Is now said to be the
only one who can be banked on ' to
back Katon thjw-ugh thick and thin.
Mr. Clemens la also represented as be
ing the motive power of the Katon
campaign, at least in Multnomah
County.
By the Eaton opposition the claim 1s
being made that he mistook mere as
surances of good will for pledges and
that he will find his boasted array of
32 pledged supporters considerably de
pleted when the vote Is polled.
The four aspirants now canvassing
the local situation will remain In the
city a day or two getting acquainted.
Each of them inststs that It Is still any
man's game. All are unwilling to be
lieve the Lane County man has any
such tie-up as he la claiming.
Ben Selling's supporters continue to
claim his selection aa assured with 1
votes pledged to him. He Is claiming
the solid Multnomsh delegation of
seven, the two Lane County votes, and
la making no disclosures as to the
source of the others, although It Is
learned that he has been assured of a
Clackamaa County vote, that of W. A.
Dlmlck. Opposition to Selling Is quiet
ly arraying Itself, however, and Acting
Governor Bowerman may be pitted
against the Multnomah County man,
although Mr. Bowerman has thus far
refrained from making any statements
as to whether or not he will become a
candidate for the place.

CHICAGO, Dec 12. Wood row Wil
son. Governor-elect of New Jersey,
spoke at a dinner of the Illinois Manu
facturers' Association here tonight on
"Business and Politics." He said In
part: "
"The trouble with business Interests
In the recent period of extraordinary
expansion has been too much exploita
tion, too little regard for the perma
nent Interests of society and of all concerned.
"We have been ' too apt to set our
conceptions of prosperity In a very
near-sighted way. It will not do either
to make of the working man a mere
Instrument Instead of a partner. Tha
conditions that determine the relation
of employer and employe have radically
changed within a generation, work-
Ingmen are no longer dealt with In
dustrially, but are marshaled In gangs
and masses.
"The trouble with politics. Insofar as
It has concerned Itself with an effort
to regulate business, has been that the
problems of readjustment between pub
lic and private Interests have not been
fully comprehended. It has been a
game of alliance first with one set of
forres and then with another.
"No one can speak with confidence
aa to how the accommodation Is to be
brought about: certainly we can say It
Is accommodation we aeek and not
mere offsetting of force against force.
What we lack is knowledge of all the
conditions Involved. W uat we need Is
very frank inquiry and a thorough
public consideration without fear or
favor of everything Involved; well-
served communities make , prosperous
business.
"In order to carry out such purposes
In the field of legislation It Is neces
aarv that It should be universally un
derstood that our object Is not war but
peace and accommodation."
