If the agreement had been broader and had Included all the achedulea of the Pajne-Aldrleh law. he probably could hava seen his way clear to support It. but. as he understands the agreement. It will prove of slight benefit to Ore gon and other Western and Northern states, though of vast benefit to Canada. He rr gar da thtg agreement as dis criminatory against the Far West and particularly against several of the leading Industries of Oregon and be lieves his constituents hold a like view, therefore lie will oppose it. The Tresidcnt ssld he was sorry Ilawley could not see his way clear to support the pending bill, but made no attempt whatever to coerce him Into changing; his attitude. In fact. he frankly said that.

JAIL LIFE SOON PALLS After Few Hours' Confinement Pris oner Denies He Stole $3500 la Xevr York He Smashes Win dow in His Ruse. COLFAX. Wash., Feb. 11. (Special.) Horatio B. Moses, said to be from New York, made a voluntary confes sion of embezzlement to Sheriff Carter today and later retracted It- Moseg reg istered at the Whitman Hotel last week, from Portland. He visited tho County Jail Saturday and aroused suspicion by looking- through the pictures of men wanted for crimes. Today he walked to the desk of Sher iff Carter, saying he wished to make a confession of embezzlement, as de tectives were hot on his trail and he could stand the strain no longer. He said he had embezzled 13000 from Belas tt Hess, 668 Broadwsy. New York, a mailorder house, while selling silks for them, and admitted embezzlement from the Holland Gallery. 500 Fifth avenue, paintings valued at 1500. While making this confession he smashed a large window la the Jail office with his fist. Tonight, after get ting several hours of Jail life, he called for ex-Mayor William Llppltt and made the second confession, contradicting; his embezzlement acts, saylns that he was sent West by his father from New York to learn farming and his father was to back him later In the purchase of a ranch. He had a letter from Julius Llppltt, at Portland, asking his brother William Llppltt. at Colfax, to aid Moses In tret ting farm work. Moses said he was out of funds and was too proud to ask aid. Moses Is a well-dressed, well-groomed young; man. William Blonder, of Portland, form erly of New York, who Is acquainted with young- Moses' family, said last night that Moses arrived In Portland about a week ago, bearing letters of Introduction to various people here. Among- these was Julius Llppltt. of 70 Lucretia street. Upon learning from Moses that he wished to learn farming-. Mr. Llppltt advised him to go to Col fsx. where Mr. Llppltt's brother would assist the young man to find a suitable place. On hla artval In Colfnx. Moses registered at the Hotel Whitman, but his lack of funds obliged him to leave there. Not wishing to Impose on any one, according to Mr. Blonder's state ment, the young man went to the Sher iff and told a story to the effect that he was wanted In New York on a charge of embezzlement. This, he afterwards explained to the Sheriff, he Invented In order to procure food and lodging In the Jail. Mr. Blonder said last night that arrangements are being made by the young man's friends to assist him to return to his home tn New York. France Foresees Great Results. PARIS, Feb. 11. The French Govern ment is much Interested In the plan for reciprocal trade relations maturing be tween the two great nations of North America, while French exporters are plainly apprehensive. The first foreign arrangement by France under her new scientific tariff wss with Canada and there Is a feeling here that a close commercial union of the United States and Canada will have the effect ulti mately of diminishing' French trade with the Dominion. Writing for the Journal des Iicbats. Baron Robert de Calx says the proposed agreement Is a force tending to detach Canada from Great Britain and draw her Into a po litical nearness to the United States through great material advantages to both nations. The writer thinka that the relatione of the other great colonies to the British Empire may be also af fected by the action of Cansda and the results of the new policy. Man Throws Self Before Train. WE3SKR. Idaho, Feb. 13. An Inquest was held thla morning on the body of the man who was killed by the eastbound fnst-niall train on the Oregon Short Line Railroad about 11 miles west of thUs city yesterday.

He was walking on the track In front of the train, looked back when the whistle was blown, stepped off the track and when the train, which was going at the rate of 40 miles an hour, was In 30 feet of him, threw himself directly acress the rails. The Jury In ac cordance with the evidence exonerated the train crew. There was nothing on his person by wmch he could be Identi fied. He was about 43 years of age, weighed about 1T0 pounds, had light brown hair, streaked with gray, light blue eyes and sandy moustache. The body wass burled In th Waiter Cemetery todax. IN Senator Confronted on One Hand by Peclarations of Policy and on Other by Insistent De mands of Constituents. BT HARRY J. FROWN'. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Feb. IX So much opposition has developed tn the Senate to the Ca nadian reciprocity acreement negoti ated by President Taft that Its adop tion this session Is generally regarded as Impossible. Not only are many Sen ators outspoken in their opposition, but a great many more are lukewarm, and would shed no tears if it should fall to reach a vote, notwithstanding they would support it under pressure from the White .House, If forced to go on record. The number of Senators enthusiastic ally in favor of the ratification of this sgreoment Is comparatively small. Polls thus far made have shown that. But It is equally true that a minority of the Senate Is outspoken in Its opposi tion. Uncertainty as to how the Sen ate would vote grows out of the non committal attitude of a great many Senators that the President expects to get votes enough to ratify the agree ment, if arrangement can be made for taking- a vote. BlvlFlon Not Clear. Continued dlscus.slon of the agree ment has failed to bring about a clear division of the Senate, for a number of Senators are unable to satisfy them selves whether such reciprocity Is de sirable or otherwise. Particularly Is this true of Senators from the border states. Among them the feeling is quite strong thst the reciprocity agree ment might work to the benefit of some of their people, but would prove dis astrous to others. They have difficulty in determining whether the benefits would offset the presumed injury. Another Interesting- -development In connection with this agreement Is the growing suspicion in the minds of a number of Senators that President Taft, In negotiating with the Canadian Gov ernment, sought to play a little poli tics, and embarrass some of his In surgent friends, who expressed such dissatisfaction with the Payne-Aldrich law. It so happens that the Canadian agreement affects the principal prod ucts of a number of the Insurgent states, and so far as the Senators from those states are concerned, the agree ment becomes a local issue. Insurgents Are Embarrassed. Naturally these Senators are opposed to the ratification of the agreement, notwithstanding It lowers a number of the rates fixed by the Payne-Aldrich law. They fled themselves confronted on the one side by their past declara tions of policy, and on the other side by the clamoring of their constituents. The two can not be reconciled. Hence the embarrassment of the aforesaid In surgent Senators. Whether or not the President intend ed to "play" politics with this agree ment, he has done that very thins, and to the great discomfiture of some of the men who were loudest In their con demnation of the administration's tariff position during the recent campaign. Of course, the President would never admit that he was seeking to embar rass these Republican Insurgents by the negotiation of the Canadian agree ment: he could not afford to allow the Canadian Government, that entered into the negotiations in good faith, to be lieve that he was using them for aty such purpose. And yet the suspicion Is strong that the President chuckled to himself when he paused to consider the feelings of the Insurgents. If he deliberately played politics, he played good, clever politics from the stand pat position. - Outlook Not Bright. As stated above, the outlook for the ratification of the Canadian agreement is not bright. There will be but two weeks to consider it in the Senate, after it comes from the Finance com mittee, and with 15 or 20 Senators ready to voice their opposition at length, there would seem to be Inad equate time In which to close up the reciprocity debates. The last two weeks of the seraton will be crowded with important business; the remaining ap propriation bills must be considered and disposed of: the unfinished busi ness has right of way when the ap propriation bills are out of the way and there will be little time at the dis posal of the Senate In which to discuss Canadian reciprocity. Such a situation makes it possible for a very few Senators to block ac tion. They need only make a deter mined, filibusterer for a few days, hold their for-cs together, and in that way prevent a vote. And that is what is expected to happen. Treasure Slay Re Brought. There Is always a possibility that pressure from the White House will swing a number of Senators into line, but among those who oppose the Ca nadian agreement Is Senator Heyburn, of liiaho. the most determined and most successful filibusterer of recent times, and Senator Heyburn has declared that there shall be no tarrlff lnrlslation this session.

Senator Heyburn can take advantage of the parliamentary situa tion and sinple-handed prevent a vote. He Is one Senator who can not be "pulled off" by the White House. Sen ator Heyburn insists that it is not In the province of the President to take any hand in legislation while it Is pending in Congress: he has so publicly expressed himself, and therefore It is not probable the President will send for him. It will be recalled that while the Payne-Allrich bill was before the Sen ate, the President sought an interview with Senator Heyburn, and the Idaho Senator refused to go to the AVhite House. Undoubtedly he would do the same thing now. Therefore, if for no other reason, it Is reasonably safe to bet that the pending agreement will not bo voted upon in the Senate be fore March "4th, because of the objec tion of Senator Heyburn.

HBIafBUlLDWGS PLAHHED ALBANY MAS BUSINESS PROSPECTS FOR STRUCTURES. City May Have Five-Story Building as Well as Residences and Apartment-Houses. ALBANY, Or.. Feb. 18. (Special.) Albany's complement of public build ings, which was increased last year by a $60,000 pressed-brlck High School and a $30,000 brick armory, will be aug mented by at least two more struc tures, and possibly four. In 1911. Sev eral business blocks. Including a pos sible five-story structure, are also in prospect for this city this year, and plans ara developing for a large num ber of residences and a few apartment houses as soon as weather permits the opening of the active building season. Public buildings which may be erect ed are a $65,000 Federal building, a $40,000 City Hall, a $20,000 Carnegie library and a new public school build ing. The site for the Federal building was purchased at the southeast corner of Second and Broadalbin streets more than a year ago. and It is assured that work on it will begin during 1911. It Is not expected, however, that the build ing will be completed and occupied be fore next year. The Issuance of $40,000 bonds to build a City Hall was authorized by popular vote eome time ago, but the City Coun cil is hopelessly divided on the selec tion of a site. A tax levy has also been made to purchase a site for a new public school building. So rapidly has the school population of Albany increased that, notwlthsanding the erection of a new High School building and the conse quent affording of more room In the other building last Summer, a new grade building is already needed. It may be built this year, but It is more probable that only the site will be bought this year and construction of the new building begin in 191. Several new business blocks are also assured for this year and. though It will be hard to eclipse the record of 1910 in new business blocks In Albany, indications are that this is possible. The First National Bank Is planning to erect a new building this year, and It may be a five-story structure. A number of warehouses were built last year along Water street, the city's wholesale district.' A switch of the Southern Pacific traverses this street. T. B. Wilcox, Vice-Pres. M. M.

The granting of this franchise caused the erection of several warehouses there in 1910, and others are said to be In prospect for this year. . There has been a great deal of building every season for the past few years in the residence district of this city, and this will continue this year. In fact work has been progressing all Winter in building In the residence dis trict, and with the beginning of Spring weather considerable building will be gin. Plans have been made for many dwellings and apartment-houses here, especially for dwellings in the eastern part of the city, the building activity in that section having been stimulated by the fact that $40,000 bonds have been voted' for the extension of tho city's splendid sewage system to the extreme eastern part of Albany. Idaho Bootlegging Trials on Soon. POCATELLO, Idaho, Feb. 13. (Spe cial.) Harvey Qulncy, of Soda Springs, Fred Smith, of Bancroft, and Fred -M-dous and Tom Edwards, of Downey, must face trial in the District Court on a charge of bootlegging. They were ar rested last week and bound over under $500 bond. Only Qulncy was able to fur nish ball, the others are in Jail. Com plaints were sworn against them by a special detective employed by Sheriff Cooper to secure evidence against viola tion of a local law. There is a strong rumor that Sheriff Cooper has gathered evidence against a number of Pocatello men and that arrests will follow. TWO LETTERS TELL HIS STORY How can physicians and hospitals af ford to hold chronic kidney patients to certain failure on the orthodox treatment' when by a simple addition recovery Is possible In many cases? We have snatched another brand from the burning. We record below another recovery madeby Fulton's Renal Com pound In a case of Brighfs disease de clared Incurable by the books. Mr. John Anderson, 660 Bryan Ave nue, Forth Worth, Texas, wrote on De cember , 1910, from which we make the following extracts: "I would like to have your opinion and I will give .you my symptoms as clear as I can. My legs, thighs and stomach are badly swollen. My doctor tried strong purgatives to relieve the dropsy, but to no purpose. Four months ago the welling was eo bad that my lungs were full and the elimination wa almost solid with albumen. 1 was in bed three months previous to taking the Renal Compound. It has done me more good than anything else, but I am still bedfast." Prescriptions were sent to aid the compound to reduce the dropsy. On January 27. 1911, Anderson again wrote a follows: "I wish to thank you for the letter and prescriptions. I have completely recovered. I had a test made two days ago and am perfectly free from albu men. Barring weakness I feel every bit as well as I ever did. I have been out of bed Just three weeks, having been confined to bed nine months, it has taken about twenty-five bottles to cure me.
