"CHANTICLEER" IS SEEN
MISS MAUDE ADAMS MARES IIIT
AT KNICKERBOCKER.
Packed House) Greets Premier Pro
duction and French Govern
ment Sends Envoy.
NEW YORK. Jan. 24. With Miss Maude
Adams in the tile role, Edmund Kos
tand'a famoua French play. "Chanti
cleer." had Its first production in English
upon any stage at the Knickerbocker
Theater here tonight.
A packed audience witnessed the pro
duction, there being a Jam on the street
snd In the lobby. The seats that fell
Into the hands of speculators brought
large prices.
The version Is a poetic translation by
Louis N. Parker of the original produc
tion. It Is staged lavishly.
The rolte of Chanticleer as interpreted
by Miss Adams is that of a man. mas
terful, passionately fond of his life's
work and sure he Is accomplishing it.
He meets the pheasant representing the
de'elopment of women, domineering, eel
fish. Jsalous of the man's success.
Then follows his disillusionment, when
the pheawnt shows him that tlio day
has dawned without his crow. And hia
reply is that his destiny la surer than
the day.
Among the distinguished people who
attended was M. IFevre-Pontalis. first
secretary of the French Embcaay, sent
expressly by the French government out
of courtesy to Miss Adams.

TARIFF BILL IS
VICTORY FOR TUFT
House Committee Unanimously
Agrees Upon Measure
President Approves.
COMPROMISE IS EFFECTED
Suggestions of Longworth and Dal
xell Closely Followed Two Demo
crats Will Be Named.
Senator Bailey to Oppose.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. President
Taft scored a victory today when the
House committee unanimously agreed
upon a bill providing for a permanent
tariff board of five members to Investi
gate all questions for Congress. The
Mil Is effective on Julr 1. It contains
substantially the provisions of the
Long-worth and Dalzell bills.
When the White House learned that
the committee had agreed unanimously
to report favorably on the bill the Pres
ident expressed great gratification. He
was Informed shortly before noon by
telephone from the capttol that with
alight modifications, the bill 'he ap
proved of had been agreed to by both
Republican and Democratic members of
the committee. One change is made In
the measure which will allow the Sen
ate as well as the House to call upon
the commission for information.
White House Sanguine.
The bill, it Is said, will be taken up
next Monday under suspension of the
rules and the White House believes it
will pass. Further, it believes the bill
also will pass the Senate, although Sen
ator Bailey publicly intimated his in
tention to oppose It.
It Is understood that the present
members. Chairman Henry C. Emory,
James R. Reynolds, of Massachusetts,
and Alvin It. Sanders, of Chicago, will
continue on the board and the President
will name two Democrats In the near
future to fill the two additional places.
The committee intends to bring up the
bill and press It for passage at the
earliest opportunity.
The Democratic members of the com
mittee voted with the Republicans for
the bill after insisting upon the in
sertion of a provision adding to the
functions of the board the words:
Democrats Add Provision.
"And shall also make Investigation of
any such subject when directed by
either house of Congress." and also dis
continuing the present board when the
new bill becomes effective.
The five members are to be appointed,
as provided In the Long-worth plan, for
terma of two. three, four, five and six
years, respectively, and their auccessors
are to be appointed for six years each.
The Preaident is to designate the
chairman. Not more than three, mem
bers are to be of the same party and
three constitute a quorum.
DIVISION SHARPLY MARKED
Standpat Senators Oppose Piecemeal
Revision of Tariff.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. The future
dividing line in the Republican party
was Indicated In the Senate today in
speeches in the Senate by Smoot, of
Utah, and Cummins, of Iowa, for the
fact of this division was pointed out
by the latter.
Closing a speech in opposition to the
Cummins Joint resolution amending
Congressional rules by providing that
no amendment shall be in order or al
lowed which proposes to change any
paragraph or item in the tariff not em
braced in the schedule containing the
paragraph or Item sought to be amend
ed, the Utah Senator took ground
squarely against schedule revision.
"The tariff act." said Smoot. "Is a
complete whole. It la not made tip of
Independent Integral parts, but all are
so Interwoven that a change in any cf
them might disastrously disarrange parts
in amereni scneauies.
"Schedule by schedule revision is a
plan to separate Industries which are
so correlated that tariff on one affects
the other. Such a system will result in
the destruction of our industries and
the great principles of protection."
"I accept the challenge." said Cum
mins, "and am prepared to say that I
believe that the division here outlined
will constitute the issue of the future.-"
Referring to the fear expressed that
the Intereats of the farmers would be
imperiled by piecemeal legislation.
Cummins said the time never would
come when agriculture would not be
the dominant Interest in the majority of
states, rendering it certain that agri
cultural products never would be dis
criminated against In legislation.
Flint, of California, called attention
to the fact that in the last revision of
the tariff Cummins had voted to put
asphalt on the free list. This, he said,
would have destroyed the asphalt In
terests in his state.
Cummins said he had not felt under
obligations to place such a tariff on as
phalt as would permit the shipping of
asphalt across the continent in order
to protect a California industry.
WICKERS1IAM BILL OPPOSED
Alaskan Cannery Tax Levies Slay
Not Be Increased.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington; Jan. t. Judge M. Q. Munly and
Carl Spuhn. of Portland, representing
salmon-peckers Interested In Alaska are
in Washington to protest against the
passage of the Wlckersham bill which
proposes to treble the taxes levied upon
the canneries In Alaska.
They will have a hearing tomorrow
before the House territories committee.
There is every indication that this bill
cannot receive favorable consideration
at this session and Portland men believe
It will be unnecessary for Puget Sound
and other Interested packers to send a
delegation to Washington to protest at
this time.
Mr. Spuhn is head of a cannery in
Kilisnoo and Judge Munly is head of a
cannery In Punter Bay, Alaska.

CLAIMS UP TO BALLIWGER
Cunningham Cases May Be Left With
Interior Secretary,
WASHINGTON. Jan. 21. The respon
sibility of passing upon the legality of
the Cunningham claims to Alaskan coal
lands probably will be left with Secre
tary Ballinger and Commissioner -ien-nett,
of the General Land Office.
Hope of enacting legislation to pro
vide for a review of these cases by the
Court of Appeals for the District of Co
lumbia, practically has been abandoned.
Bills to transfer the files in the Cun
ningham claims to the Court of Ap
peals were introduced in both branches
of Congress, but no action has been taken
in either house. Some public demands
have made no secret of the fact that
they do not want the courts to take the
Cunningham claims from the Interior
Department.
Close friends of Secretary Ballinger
and Commissioner Dennett said today
they would not shirk the responsibility
of acting upon these claims If they are
left in their hands.
