Borah an nounred his desire to rote for Gall- Inger, but stated that, owing to a pair with Works, who waa unfriendly to Galllnger. he would not do so. Later he rtated that this pair had not been .arranged to Injure the New Hampshire Senator. Bacon was paired with Cum mins and Kenyon with Bourne. The first ballot totaled 73 votes, of which Bacon, the Democratic candi date, received IS, Galllnger. the Repub lican candidate.

The on!y change In the second bal lot was that of Galllnger, who had re trained from voting on the previous rail. He roted for Lodge, increasing the total rote to 74 and making 3S necessary to elect. The rotlng waa unchanged until on the last vote Bradley retired, thus re ducing the vote by his own ballot and that of Taylor of Tennessee, who waa paired with him. Root and Ij Fblletl Spar. Of many points of order raised, the Inost serious, presented by Root, re lated to the right of a Senator to re frain from voting' on account of a pair. Root contended that, under the rules, all Senators are required to rot when their names are called. Bailey replied that the Immemorial custom of the Senate had so sanctioned pairing as to render It equivalent to a rule. He declared that ha would rather be expelled from the Senate than obey any order to break a pair. La Follette. in behalf of the "pro gressives." against whom the criticism waa directed, bitterly replied to Root: "I do not recognize the right of any Senator," he said, "to make the point against me or against anyone voting aa I rote that we are rotlng against our party. I don't recognise the right of any secret caucus to dispose of the public business. I do not propose to be outlawed because I cannot agree to support any man who may be agreed upon by such a secret meeting." Borah explained that clrcumstancea aeemed to Justify him a this flrst In stance of his consenting to a pair. It was a personal matter between himself and Works and he announced that he perfectly willing to support the caucus nominee. Pairing Is Sustained. Smool advocated party regularity. Heyburn contended that the man who would not abide by a party caucus could not In fairness claim to be a member of the party. intimately the chair ruled that a pair could be recognised only as an excuse for not voting and by a vote the Senate held this to be a valid ex cuse. Daring the balloting Stone, Bailey and other Democratic members made the contention that a plurality ahould elect. A decision In their favor would have elected Bacon, but the chair held aaralnst them. After the fifth ballot Cullora sought adjournment until Monday, but his mo tion was roted down.

MINING FRAUD CASES UP Salts Involving $10,000,000 Claims In Chicago Conrt. CHICAGO. Msy 11. (SpeciaL) George M. Seward. Flerre O. Beach and George A. Ball. Indicted with six oth ers, appeared before Judge K. M. Landls today to be arraigned on the charges of conspiring to defraud the Government out of more than $10,000. 000 worth of Alaska mining claims. Pleas to quash the Indictments were filed by counsel for Seward and Beach, but counsel for Ball asked for ten days in which to take some action. Judge Landls allowed Bell's counsel until Monday to file plea and will then set the matter down tor argument. Pleas to quash the Indictments are based on the ground that the consti tutional rights of the defendants were contravened when the Government by subpenas duces tecum forced Seward and Beach to produce letters and other documentary evidence. It is asserted that they were In this way forced to furnish material evidence against themselves. Judge Landls at first en tered an order Impounding 101 letters. but when Levy Mayer, counsel for the defendants, protested, the order was canceled. CLEAN RESTAURANTS, CRY Spokane Health Officer Would Make Eating Houses Paj License. SPOKANE, Wash, May 11. (Special.) Following the investigation of food which resulted in the declaration that ten Spokane bakeries were unfit for the preparation of bread and that many restaurants were unsanitary. Dr. J. B. Anderson, city health officer, today pro poned that the city license restaurants and cafes, compelling a certain sanitary standard before Issuing the license and forfeiting the license of any place fall ing below the standard. He said: 'Our Investigation Indicates that something must be done to raise the standard of the restaurant business." The ltcense fee would be nominally 110 a year and Its purpose would be more to enforce sanitary conditions than to net revenue. The revenue at the same time would pay the expenses of the health department in making In spections. EMPLOYES GET LEGACIES Carpet Manufacturer Remembers Workers "Who Helped." PHILADELPHIA. May 11.

Gustavo Madero, will di rect the affairs of the Custom-House. k Peace Talk Discouraged. The first conference of Provisional President Madoro and his Cabinet took up a plan of procedure for resumption of peace negotiations, but the rebel chiefs are now disinclined to spread any peace talk. They say it has a dis concerting effect on revolutionist ac tivity in other parts of the republic and military operations, they believe, should be continued as vigorously as ever until a definite peace agreement Is signed. Judge Carbajal. the federal peace en voy. Is stlu here, ready to renew ne gotiations. The revolutionists acknowledge they are ready to treat for peace, but their demands naturally have been strength ened by their military successes. Whereas before the battle they were asking only for four ministers In the Cabinet, they now are said to demand that the entire Cabinet of the Provi sional President, Senor De la Barra, shall be composed of members of their party. - They will consent, under the circumstances, to nothing but a def inite understanding on President Diaz' resignation.

EDUCATOR'S DENIAL STRONG Plot Against Referendum Peti tions Alleged. $10,000 OFFER CHARGED Former Editor of Portland Labor Press Declares Pedagogue Urged II Im to Destroy Anti-Appropriation Documents. H. J. Parkison, until recently editor of the Portland Labor Press, made the direct and specific charge yesterday that P. L. Campbell, president of the University of Oregon, had made him an offer of money not to file referendum petitions against university appropria tions aggregating 503,000, provided by the last Legislature for increased main tenance and additional buildings for that institution. The accusation of Mr. Parkison was denied positively by President Camp bell from his home at Eugene last night. "I have not yet seen Mr. Parkison's article and cannot answer it in detail." said President Campbell, "but in re sponse to your request for a statement, will say that I have never offered Mr. Parkison a bribe, nor suggested to him bribe, nor thought of offering him a bribe." Mr. Parkison asserts that the at tempted bribery by President Campbell Involved $10,000. He declares that President Campbell mentioned that amount of money as being adequate to reimburse Mr. Parkison for the expense he had incurred in circulating the ref erendum petitions against the univer sity and at the same time compensate him for "his time and labor" in that connection. Anti-Petition Deal Alleged. Further allegation is made by Mr. Parkison that the members of a com mittee of Cottage Grove citizens, who were co-operating with him in circulat ing the referendum petitions, have aban doned their activity in calling the refer endum on the university appropriations. In a statement made last night, Mr. Parkison professes to have knowledge that the action of the Cottage Grove committee was Influenced by a "deal" made between a Mr. Dixon, of Eugene, and one of the members of the com mittee, the alleged transaction taking place in Eugene last Saturday after noon. Mr. Parkison says the members of the Cottage Grove committee are: R. M. Veatch, chairman; Lou A. Cates, secre tary; C. H. Burkholder, C. D. Stewart, (Concluded on Page 7.) STAGE PASSENGERS DROP INTO CANYON CRESCENT CITY COACH AND FOUR WRECKED OX HILL. Brake-Block Breaks on Dangerou Declivity and Horses Run Away Down Steep Grade. GRANTS PASS. Or., May 11. (Spe rial.) Swinging down Hays Hill, i half mile above Loves station today, the Crescent City stage, drawn by four horses and driven by John Louden, ran away on a steep gTade and threw the stage and Its passengers and freight headlong into Rocky Canyon 300 feet below. The stage-driver prob ably was fatally Injured, two passen gers were maimed, one horse was killed, the remainder of the team was injured and stage and mail bags were demolished. The injured were: John Louden, skull fractured; Mr. Record, of Waldo, leg badly bruised; E. O. Entriken. of Port land, face end head cut. The mishap Is attributed to the breaking of a brake block, which pre cipltated the stage and Its load against the wheel horses with such force that they could not check its progress. Realizing the great danger ahead of him. and knowing that a high cliff and sharp curve were close by. Louden cooly drew a revolver and shot one of the leaders dead. This failed to stop the team, which dragged the dead horse along several yards to the embank ment. Louden was thrown headlong and struck on his head. Louden was an experienced driver and has been employed on the stage lines In this state for 30 years. His wife and family reside here. Ed. Lister, owner of the stage line, has gone with relief In an automobile to Loves station, 16 miles distant. PROMOTERS GET MILLIONS Kearly All Proceeds of United Wireless Stock Gobbled. XEW YORK, May 11. Tn the trial of officers of the United "Wireless Tele graph Company, charged with misuse of the mails, the Government today through expert accountants traced the history of 716,534 shares of stock which the defendants ere alleged to have Issued to themselves. The Pacific Coast took kindly to the glowing descriptions of what the Unit ed Wireless was about to do, John P. Fonsler, an accountant, testified. In vestors there, he said, had purchased 82,754 shares of preferred stock for 11.782.514. Of this. Colonel Christopher Columbus Wilson, the company's president, re ceived $1,713,156, Fonsler said, less commissions he paid George H. Parker, a Western sales agent. A. T. Johnson, another accountant, testified that of $793,275 received from the sale of 89,000 shares of treasury stock, $690,910 had gone for selling commissions. The net loss on the com pany's operations of its various sta tions, he said, was $176,540 in three years. MIXED MARRIAGE TO STAND Though Indissoluble When Per formed, Practice Is Deprecated. ST. JOHNS. N. B.. May 11. On May 21 there will be read In all Angellcan churches in Canada a pastoral letter signed by Archbishop Matheson, of Win nipeg, primate of all Canada, and Arch bishop Hamilton, of Ottawa, metropoli tan of the ecclesiatlcal province of Can ada, on the question of mixed marriages. It will deprecate such marriages, but will say that when once performed they are indissoluble by the Church of Home. The disbelief of the Anglical Church in divorce is also brought out and the clergy are prohibited from remarrying divorced persons during the life of either person to the first marriage. The pastoral Issued Is a result of a recent decision by Quebec Judges that marriages of Roman Catholics by clergy of other denominations in that province are null.

TAX D0DGERS MUST PAY Bavaria Expects to Get $4 00,000 Back Dues From One Estate. MUNICH, Bavaria, May 11. The gov ernment Is investigating income tax dodging as revealed In the wills and estates of the wealthy deceased. Among the cases is that of Cheva lier von Klemm. a member of the Ba varian Relchrath, who, upon his death, left $10,000,000. For 20 years the re turns made by him to the government accounted only for property varying In value from $625,000 to $1,000,000. His heirs are liable for $400,000 back taxes. NEW RAILRuAuS TO AWAIT PATHONAGF Financiers Looking to Present Returns. COUNTRY MUST BE BUILT UP Harriman Line to Go to Bend; Perhaps Not Beyond. UNION STATION TO WAIT Double Track on O.-W. R. & X. Be tween Portland and Umatilla to Be Completed in Five Years. Cut-Off in Prospect. Further railroad construction In Cpn tral Oregon may depend largely upon the patronage given those lines recently completed and now being built, accord ing to the statements of Julius Kruttsch nitt, vice-president and director of main tenance and operation of the Harriman system, who arrived in Portland yester day afternoon from a trip over the O.-W. R. & N. main line and branches. Mr. Kruttschnitt was accompanied on his tour by J. P. O'Brien, vice-president and general manager of the O.-W. R. & N. Co., who Joined him at North Yak ima last Sunday morning. They traveled over the newly opened Yakima division and Inspected the properties In the vl vlnlty of Spokane before starting up the Deschutes Valley Tuesday. Progress on railroad construction work and the general condition of the terri tory that they traversed seemed to please them, but they appeared willing to await the result of their present ac tivities before arranging plans for the future. Response to Be Awaited. "Our work of the last few years repre sents a large Investment," said Mr. Kruttschnitt, "and I think we should see first what the country does in the way of response before planning anything fur ther. "Central Oregon looks flife and it is pleasing to observe that the land is rap idly being taken up. A good deal of it has been broken and the country is building up rapidly. We have a fine road into Central Oregon and now are open as far as Madras. We are accommodating some traffic already. A circus train was the first big piece of business that we han dled into Madras. "At present we are prepared to go to Bend, but nothing has been done toward extending the line beyond that point." That, in addition to carrying out the improvements already under way or pro vided for, the Harriman system contem plates no immediate activity. Is the in ference left by Mr. Kruttschnitt. Al though the route from Bend to Odell, on the Natron-Klamath cutoff of . the Southern Pacific, has been surveyed and although Robert S. Lovett. president of the system, when in PorNand last Au gust, announced the extension of the Deschutes line to Odell, it is not likely that It will bo built soon. When Judge Lovett was here the Deschutes road was projected only to Redmond and he con templated the construction of a South ern Pacific connection from that point. Since then arrangements' have been made to extend the service to Bend and Portland officials have expressed them selves in favor of Joining the Deschutes line with a link from Bend to Odell, a distance of 55 miles. Connection May Be Delayed. It is believed that ultimately this con nection will be built but Mr. Kruttsch- nltt's expressions Indicate that the Har. riman directors prefer to see what busi ness will grow out of their present ven ture before expending more money. The recent inspection trip did not cover the Southern Pacific lines in Ore gon, which are in Mr. O'Brien's Jurisdic tion, and the officials were not familiar with the status of the work on the Natron-Klamath cut-off, which is to maka a 22-hour schedule between Portland and San Francisco possible. The present contracts on either en of that project will be finished before the middle of the coming Summer, but no definite arrange ments have been made for completing the remaining gap, which will be approx imately 100 miles in length and include some of the most difficult parts of the construction. It is expected, however, that the Harriman directors will vote an appropriation to make the cut-off complete. Until the Natron-Klamath project is finished It Is not expected that the Bend Odell link will be constructed, as, ex cepting to .eerve local traffic, there would be little advantage In having it. Construction of an east and west line across Oregon, which has been spoken of repeatedly by various rail road officials is not included in any plans now under consideration, declared Mr. Kruttschnitt. Portland's terminal situation has not progressed toward a solution since he was here five months ago, and tho erection of a union passenger station . here seems as far away as ever. "From what I understand," he said, "the Hill interests do not want a union station. I have read statements purporting to come from Louis W. Hill to the- effect that they are not eager to have one and if that it the (Concluded on Faga
