Rice's Squad Heroes.
Coach Rica's squad from New York
war easily th heroes of th day. Many
had picked his Varsity to win and when
th blue and whit freshmen swung
down under th brltlg to victory over
th sturdy Cornell eight, th Columbia
cohorts cheered madly and ther waa
a rush of Columbia money to back th
Varstty'a stamina and brawn. It was
Columbia's first victory In 1 years,
their varsity having won In 1S5.
I nJer a hasy sky with a wisp of a
southern breea blowing flags and

from th mark at S:M P. M.. for th

SENATE NAMES CONFEREES
Agreement on Direct Election BUI
Regarded as Unlikely.
WASHINGTON. June 17. The first
step toward the settlement of differ
ences between th Penat and House
on th Joint resolution providing for
th election of Senator by direct vot
of the people waa taken today when
the Senate de. Ided to grant a confer
ence and appointed Clark, of Wyom
ing. Nelson, of Minnesota, and Bacon,
of Georgia, as conferees to meet a
tmilar committee of the House, to be
appointed.
The fight In conference will be over
the acceptance of th amendment by
Senator Brlstow adopted In the Sen
ate, which retains to the Federal Gov
ernment the right to control the elec
tion of Senators. It will be opposed
by th House conferees and advocated
by the Senators.
With agreement In conference un
likely. It Is probable tha entire ques
tion will havs to be fought out either
In the Senate or the House on a mo
tion to concede the demands of th
other body.
BRITAIN'S ANSWER MADE
President Will He Able to Submit
Treaty Soon.
WASHINGTON. Jun S7. The an
swer of th British government to th
American general arbitration propo
sition has been received and it Is now
almost certain that President Taft will
be abl to submit sn arbitration treaty
for the approval of th Senate befor
the clos of th present session of Con
gress. Whll tho British reply Is not con
clusive snd Is rather In th nature of
a counter proposition, the suggested
amendments do not touch the general
principle of th original proposition.
The reply clearly Indicates a willing
ness on the part of the British govern
ment to sign a treaty along th lines
laid down.
A complete agreement has been
reached upon the fur seal question as
well as upon the British-American
Claims Convention and these subjects
also will form the basis of treaties
which probably will be submitted to
th Senate during th present session.

CHICO, CaL, June 27. Helen Kum
bel. 13 years old, beaten for neglecting
a task. Is dead In her home near
Grldley. Mrs. Emma Rumbel, her
stepmother, and Arthur Lewis, her
stepbrother, were held today by a
Coroners' Jury to answer to charges
of murder, and have been rushed to
the County Jail at Orovdle for safety.
The countryside Is half crazed -with
rage.
Lewis and Mrs. Rumbel reported that
the girl had committed suicide. An
inquest, instituted immediately, devel
oped that the girls' body was a mass
of bruises, and that her face in death
remained black from the choking she
had received.
Woman Gives Version.
Mrs. Rumbel then told what is be
lieved to be a correct version of the
affair.
Helen, she said, should have milked
three cows yesterday, but milked only
two. For this, said her stepmother,
she was beaten, and then strapped to
the floor In the attic, where she
fainted. Mrs. Bumbel explained that
she made several trips to the attic,
throwing cold water on the girl to re
store her to consciousness, and that on
her final trip alie found the girl dead.
It was testified that young Lewis, act
ing under orders, bound the girl to
the attic floor and tied her hands.
Father Is Dead.
The child's father died two months
ago.
' After conferring with counsel. Mrs.
Rumbel expressed the belief that the
girl broke her own neck in frantic
struggles to free herself from a two-by-four
Inch scantling to which she
had been" bound.
She asserted that punishment was
necessary because of what she termed
Helen's stubbornness; but admitted
that she had over estimated tho en
durance of the child.
Doctor Is Summoned.
When she became convinced that the
girl was dead she untied the ropes and
summoned a physician, who testified
that she told him the case was one of
suicide, and that she had cut the child
down.
RUSSIAN DANCES
BRING COMPLAINT
GERTRUDE HOFFMAXX'S MAX

David Belasco, Appearing' as Wit
ness, Defends Evolutions Wherein
Display of Limbs Is Made.
NEW TORK, June 27 (Special.)
Morris Gest, manager for Gertrude
Hoffmann, and J. F. Cass, manager of
the Winter Garden, appeared in West
Side Court this afternoon In response to
a summons. Police Captain Burfind
complained that a dance which Miss
Hoffman and her troupe of Russian
dancers are giving Is not proper for
the stage.
The appearance of the two- managers
was the result of several complaints
which were made by letters to Mayor
Gaynor.
The magistrate In adjourning the ex
amination said that he had visited the
theater last night In order to Judge the
case, and that he did not think It would
take long to dispose of it.
David Belasco was in court to testify
for the managers. In commenting on
the case he said:
"The only Interest I take In the case
is that I do not think it right to sum
mon these managers on such a com
plaint. The dance which Is complained
of Is not indecent. If they complain
about this dance they will have to com
plain against every dance at the Met
ropolitan Opera-House this coming sea
son. If tights are eliminated In danc
ing, you will have to eliminate all the
beauty of dancing.. It Is necessary for
dancers of this kind to show their
limbs to bring out all the beauty of
dancing."

LAND MAY BE CONDEMNED
West Umatilla Project Delayed by
Owners of Area Overflowed.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 27. Representative Laf
ferty has been informed by the director
of the Reclamation Service that the
west extension of the Umatilla proj
ect Is being materially delayed because
of difficulties encountered In acquiring
private lands that will be overflowed
after the construction of the west Uma
tilla dam. Owners of this land are
asking prices that are held ". y the serv
ice to be excessive and it Is probable
that condemnation proceedings may be
Invoked to acquire them. Lafferty Is
assured, however, that the work will
be pressed as rapidly as possible.
Lafferty also inquired as to the pos
sibility that the Government would
build the John Day project. This it is
found is fairly feasible, but its high
cost makes its construction at this
time impracticable, in addition to the
fact that there are no funds available
for new projects. .
TAFT IS CAUGHT IN STORM
While President Plays Golf, Deluge
Conies; Buildings Wrecked.
WASHINGTON", June 27. A deluge
of rain and hail accompanied by thun
der and lightning and a wind that at
tained a velocity of 60 miles an hour
today forced an adjournment of tho
Senate, caught President Taft In the
open on the Chevy Chase golf links,
caused the destruction of a building at
the Soldiers' Home and played havoc
with shade trees.
The storm lasted only 20 minutes
and was the climax of a day of In
tense heat, the thermometer on the
street level registering 102 degrees.
While the storm was at its height
lightning struck one of the big dairy
stables at the Soldiers' Home and
within a few minutes the men's struc
ture and Its contents was in ruins. The
loss Is $50,000.
At the Capitol the beating of the
hail and rain on the glass roof of the
Senate chamber caused such a din that
Senator Borah, who was speaking,
could not make himself heard and the
Senate was obliged to adjourn.

Tariff Revision Plan Is
Subterfuge.
RECIPROCITY IS OPPOSED
Insurgents Hope to Cloud Is
sue With Amendments.
PACT UNLIKELY TO HOLD
Conflicting Ambitions of Leaders
Mean Death of Real Reform or .
Substantial Progress Bad
Faith Is Apparent.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 27. That the Insurgent Re
publicans who Joined the Democrats in
the Senate in forcing the wool schedule
bill out of the ' finance committee were
not actuated by good faith is conceded
In Washington. Of the 16 who so voted,
it is known that 10 are opposed to Presi
dent Taffs reciprocity policy and were
determined to kill It if possible. The
complication of the reciprocity issue,
therefore, not a desire to see the wool
schedule changed, was the fundamental
reason for their action. They wanted
revenge.
For several days they had been warn
ing the Republican supporters of the
reciprocity agreement that if the farmer
were to be deprived of protection it must
also be taken away from the manufac
turer. They saw that unless the reci
procity agreement could be tangled up
with other tariff legislation It would cer
tainly be ratified by the Senate, and so
when the opportunity offered they gladly
voted with the Democrats to bring the
wool revision bill out of committee,
while the reciprocity bill agreement is
still under consideration.
Bad Faith Is Evident.
However much the action of the 16
might have been approved if they had
been sincere, real tariff reformers de
clare that the only way for them to
prove that they are sincere is by in
sisting that Canadian reciprocity shall
be considered by the Senate as a distinct
subject, and then by voting with the
Democrats to revise the woolen schedule,
the cotton schedule and every other
schedule of the Payne-Aldrich bill that
Is acted on by the House of Representa
tives. But this is not their programme. 'With
the hope and expectation of killing
Canadian reciprocity, they will endeavor
to attach to the reciprocity bill legisla
tion providing" for a general tariff re
vuinn. The farmers' free list bill, as
well as the woolen revision bill will be
proposed to the reciprocity agreement as
amendments, and some of the insurgent
Republicans propose to introduce inde
pendent tariff revision bills, which they
will offer as amendments or riders to the
reciprocity bill.
Combination Unlikely to Hold.
No member of the Senate has the ,
slightest idea as to what the final out
come of this very remarkable situation
will be. On the face of things the
Senate Is in control of the Democratic
minority and a Republican minority.
If this combination should hold to
gether it could do many things, but no
one believes it will hold together. The
danger Is that it will last long enough
to defeat Canadian reciprocity and
will then go to pieces without having
accomplished anything in the way of
tariff reform. Not one of the 16 Re
publicans who voted with the Demo
...i. in favor of the House bill re
vising the woolen schedule as It stands
today. Each one of these 16 has his
own ideas as to the sort of tariff re
vision that ought to be made.
The Democrats, on the other hand,
with possibly two or three exceptions.
Intend to stand by the House bill. So it
would seem certain that when the com
bination shall undertake to revise the
woolen schedule or any other schedule,
disagreements will take place. For In
stance. Senator La Follette. who Is a
candidate for President, will undoubt
edly present to the Senate a general
tariff' revision bill, and will ask the
other insurgent Republican Senators to
support it. It will be presented with
no expectations that the Democrats wll
support it. or with the least hope of
getting favorable action on it, but as a
political move deemed worth while.
La Follette Move Political.
Unquestionably such a tariff revision
bill as the Wisconsin Senator will pre
sent will appeal to many. It is such
a political move as a candidate for the
Presidency would be expected to make,
and such, of course, as he has a perfect
right to make. ......
After all. the significant thing Is that
the tariff is up for consideration and
up to stay until something worth while
Is done on it. Many persons have be
lieved for years that there would be
no real crumbling of the high tariff
wall until protection was taken away
from some particular class. It would
seem that the belief was well founded,
for the minute it was proposed to take
away a little protection from the farm
er the threat Is made that if this is
done the whole tariff must come down.
The genesal situation could hardly be
more chaotic, but out of it all, moat
