TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN. SATURDAY. MARCII 4, 1911. HITCHCOCK SEES PET PLAN KILLED Senate Rejects Scheme to In crease Postage on Mag azines.

PtnroM? and Owen IlaTe Spat. -Hut that would leare the Govern ment In the hands of this conspiracy. protested Owen. "Well. If rumor be true," retorted Tenrose hotly, "there are others In conspiracy against tbe Government not so far from this chamber." "The Senator should measure bis words." said Owen. "I dg measure them." The measure was straightened out by omtttlna the clause regarding the per cent profit. At 1 i the Senate passed the naval appropriation bill and resumed con sideration of the postofflce bllL Postmaster-General Hitchcock occupied a seat In the chamber while the bill was under consideration, and made occa sional surr-stlons to Senators regard ing conditions. Among amendments ' adopted was one by Swanson granting days' leave of absence annually to rural free delivery letter carriers. When the provision Increasing to 4 rents a pound the rate of postage on the advertising sections of the Urge macaslnrs was reached Cummins said he was prepared to and would discuss the measure on Its merits "for a longer time than would suit the convenience of the Senate at this time." Maailne Tootage Debated. Penrose announced that the commit tee had decided not to urge the amend ment now. but rather to suggest a substitute providing for a commission to consider tbe subject. leipite the fact that Tenroee repeat ed time and again his statement that be Intended to withdraw tbe objection able clause, the debate continued sev eral hours. -arter. who undertook to explain the position of the Post office r department and Its assertion that H9.000.00i) la lost each year on second-class matter, was Interrupted repeatedly. In response to In. atatoment that Canada carrlee second-class mall matter at a quarter of a cent a pound. Carter presented a tele gram from the Postmaster-General of Canada, stating that the Ixmlnlon nee large sums annually In handling that class ef mall matter. Owen and Krlstow denounced the proposed Increase on the magastnea. Jones, of Washington, took the mag astnes to task for attempting to create the iraprjsslon that the movement for Increased postage was due to a desire for revenge by the Administration. Politic Behind Advance. firlstow Interrupted Jones to remark that be believed tbe animus behind the movement to Increase the rate was po litical and not financial, that It was In tended to suppress i the magastnea rather than to encourage them. Mone desired to know If tbe charge of the Senator from Kansas was direct ed against the postofftco committee of the Senate, the ITealdent of the United btates or the Postmaster-General. Uristow said he meant that for years political Influences bad been at work against the magastnea. Penrose offered an amendment authorising- tbe President to appoint a commission of three to. Investigate tbe cost of handling eecond-claaa matter, tme of the commissioners. It la provid ed, shall be a Judicial officer of the Government and the other two shall be persons who hold no office and who have no connection whatever with tbe 1'ostoffire Department or with any magazine or newsp-nper. This amend ment was adopted unanimously. The various features of the postofftco bill were discussed at length and It was nearly 7 o'clock before It finally was passed. Democratic Suspicion Aroused. A provision combining the appropria tions for rural free delivery service and s'ar routes aroused the suspicion Of some Democratic Senators, who feared that It wae the purpose of the depart ment to cut off a number of rural free delivery routes and substitute ths old star routes, or contract service. Johnstone ended the debate and straightened out the tangle by adding a proviso that not more than 17.117.000 of the total amount of IO.00v.006 for t!ie two services be spent on the star routes. This leaves the division of the appropriation as at present. The amendment was accepted by alL Reapportionment Impossible. There wl'I be no Congressional reap portionment by the fist Congress. This was decided at 3 o'clock this morning. The reapportionment Mil fixing tT.e number of K-presentatlvee at 431. which passed the House earlier In the session, ha, for various reasons, been allowed to remain In the Senate com mittee on census until yesterday, when. In t.:e absence of Chairman La Kollette. Senator Hale sought In have It reported for action before the final adjournment of Congress. Accordingly the committee was potled and the measure placed In the banda of Senator Ilile for presentation to the S-nate. At 3 o'clock Mr. Hale was bus l.y engaged In conference pertaining to appropriation bills and up to that time had not made his report on the appor tionment measure. In the meantime oposlMon to the House basts of apportionment bad arisen snd it was deemed to render it impos sible for the bill to ret through. Plans of the Postofflce Department for the establishment of a parcels post as an experiment were defeated tonlcht. when t.s.e Senate, oo a point of order. rsJsed br Senator Ralley. struck from tbe poster?:.- appropriation blU an Item of X. OO designed to put Into efec: the pro posed system on April 1. The plan con templated the transportation In the tnai.s of packages not exceeding 11 pounds ta weight, containing no matter ef ti.e first class and no matter declared by law to be uamallable. . Conference Report la. When nt I.'.S o'clock tbe executive ses s'on of th Senate terminated. Senator yanroee pres-ncrxi the conference report a tbe post.-mce appropriation bill. Senator Keaae moved an executive session for the purpoee of disposing of a number of nominations still on the calendar but was antagonised by Sena tor Bailey, who sought to obtain con sideration of tbe New Mexico resolu tion. Objection was made by Senator Owen, who desired that action In the rut of New Mexico bo postponed until the Arixona constitution Is presented. He announced that he was prepared to speak for hours to defeat tho resolu tion. s- Senator Owen reclaimed the floor as soon as tho conference report was dis posed of. saying that he would talk un til noon on the New Mexico resolution. If necessary to prevent action on It. Organ Recital Received With Enthusiasm. Clareaee Eddy adhere Closely to Traaitloaal Maate for H Is laatrw sseat. In a classical programme marked for Ita adherence to traditional and approved music, with Just a llttfe soft, pastoral effect by way of variation to give the entire offering necesssry light and shade. Clarence SVidy, an eminent organist from New York City, gave an impressive and stately organ recital last night at tbe While Temple, and was cordially re ceived. The church was half filled with people who made up for lack of .attend ance by enthusiasm. Organ recitals are not. generally speak ing, estimated In this city as being thrilling and popular events, and the at tendance suffers accordingly. Mr, Eddy performed wonders by hia really artistic work on a pipe organ with which he is not familiar. One rebel lious organ stop In the diapason depart ment bothered him and .would not "speak" when called upon. Most organ ltj would not have noticed the occur rence, but Mr. Kddy Is particular. At the conclusion of his rendition of tho Crawford "Toccata In F" Mr. Eddy men tioned that the stop referred to was working badly and asked someone fa miliar with the mechanism of the organ to try to remedy the defect. Two organ ists answered and the recital proceeded. The orgxn builder, who promised to overhaul the pipe organ some time agi and have It In readiness for the Eddy concert. was unexpectedly called out of town a day or two ago. Mr. Kdry must have played the selec tions be chose many tlmea previously, yet he stuck closely to his music sheeta. In orthodox style. There was no Im provisation. His rendition of Johnston's -Evensong" was splendid for registra tion and tho woll-remembered Bach fugue received fitting presentation. Hollins' "In Springtime" and the overture to "Will lam Tell" (Bosstnl) were musical treats. Mr. Eddy won several recalls and he re sponded with one encore. CLAUSE AIMED AT LANE? JACKSOX CIXB DEBATES IIU MAltY DECLAJIATIOX. Perntclon!. Practice" of Attaining Nomination by Writing In of Name I Deplored. That privilege which every Democrat claims, the right to disagree, wgs exer cised by several of tba followers of Jackaoo and Jefferson at a meeting of the Jackson Club last night when the principles of tbe organisation, as de fined by tb executive committee, were discussed. G. W. Allen. F. C WhHten and Ogles by Toung objected strenuously to tho Inclusion of a clause reading: "The Jackson Club stands firmly opposed to the pernicious practice of dodging party responsibility by tbe making of campaigns resulting In the writing In of the names of candidates on primary ballots and we urge Democrats to come out In the primaries In tbe regular way and abide by tho results." The objections were of no avail for the reason that the executive commit tee had been empowered at a previous meeting of the club to draft a set of principles and havs them published In pamphlet form. Nevertheless the dis cussion continued. H. K. Van Duser, president, and H. E. McKay, secretary, of the club, and J. W. McGinn opposing the Allen-Tourg-Whltten Tlew. Although the name of Dr. Harry Le.no waa not mentioned, the feeling Is general thst the clause In question was aimed In his direction, the belief being that he may recelee the Democratic nomination for Mayor by tb writing In of hla name. The Democrats who believe In and are striving for a strong party organisation declare that It Is demoralising to the party to have a rforolnatton made- In that way. The fear Is also general that the party will ba weakened by Republicans receiving Democratic norolpalions. as happened tn several Instances at the September. UIO. primaries, unless members of the party are willing to offer themselves on tho sacrificial altar. In' anticipation, of tho city election, tho Jackson Club Is preparing -o strengthen Itself eiurnejically. so as to become a factor In support of candi dates of the party. With this object in view the secretary was Instructed last night to send a copy of the principles of the organisation to every person who registered as a Democrat last year, which will necessitate the mail ing of about 7000 pamphlets. Persons wbo promised to Join but failed to do so and delinquent members are to be checked up by committees and Indi viduals. T MINE WrE5EEH ITALIAN AND SLAY MIXERS, DIS CHARGED, 31 A RE THREATS.

BLOOD TROUBLES CONSTITUTIONAL INFECTIOH Constitutional Blood Poison is th9 most insidious of all diseases. It begins in an insignificant manner, usually the appearance of a tiny 6ore being the only outward evidence of its presence. But down in the blood the treacherous infection is at work, and in a short time ita chain of symptoms begin to crop out. The mouth and throat ulcerate, tVln eruptions break: out, sores and ulcers appear on the body, the glands in the groin swell, and sometimes the hair comes out. Mineral medicines cannot cure Con stitutional Blood Poison; they only shut the disease up in the system to smoulder and await an opportunity of breaking out afresh. The only pos sible way to cure the disease is to REMOVE the germs from the blood. S. S. S. goes into the blood, and while removing the infection makes the blood pure, fresh and healthy. This causes a. gcuci upbuilding of tho entire system, and when S. S. S. has made a cure there is no return of the hideous symptoms. S. S. S. is made entirelv of vege table matter, containing not the least particle of mineral in any form. It is a perfectly safe medicine and a certain cure for blood poison.

New Material Discussed- by Council With Certain Sections Favoring Various Street Processes.' Three new paving companies are seeking" to enter Portland to lay wood blocks. granitoid i and Westramlte. Wood blocks have been bid upon but none have been laid recently, granit oid waa once rejected because it was decided by the Council street committee to be unserviceable for hillside streets, where It waa proposed"' to be placed at the time and Westramlte has never been Introduced here before. Yesterday afternoon the street com mittee of the Council discussed briefly the granitoid proposition, when It wag recommended by Generul Manager Lyons, of the' North Paclflo Terminal Company, for North Front street, . but no action was taken. Councilman Lom bard insisted that the work should be done with stone blocks, as heretofore proposed, and Mr. Lyons left without any decision. ' Westramlte came up before the com mittee on recommendation of residents of Kenton, who are clamoring for some hard-surface streets down there. Xt was referred to City Engineer -Morris for Investigation and report. It is said that It can be laid for not to exceed 11.75 a square yard, the same rate charsred for Hasssm, and that It Is com- IN ALC ITS FORMS Il tba apoadla. r o aseatal haalta. roe mk bask ' Tetr aratr. w. a. prt-oacw.
