statehood was assured for New MxlcO

to Its most ardent admirers, and pro
vision was made for an enlarged Houm

A Democratic House, the first since
IS attempted to make Into laws the
views of Democrats on tariff revision,
but eiecutlve disapproval rendered futile
II their efforts.
Speaker Divested of Power.
When the special aesslon convened on
April 4 the House waa organised by the
Democratic ware and means committee
ind thla body made the committee as
ugnmenta. The new ayatam eliminated
hat was known for many yaara aa the
-urdom of the Speaker. The committee
also directed the deliberations of tba
Democratic caucus and framed the lg
latlve programme of the aesslon.
The proa-ramme adopted and put
through In Ita essentials by the House
included action on Canadian reciprocity,
a farmer- free lis: bill reduction of du
ties on the wool and cotton schedules.

House from tl to X a constitutional

Tariff Bills Vetoed.
Two tariff bills, one materially reduc
ing the duties on wool and woolen goods
of ail classes, and the other placing on
he free list articles of machinery and
.oola ud by farmers ano amended to
.nclude many other Hems, were vetoed
y President Taft.
A cotton revision bill which carries
aa an amendment an Iron and steel
schedule, awalta a similar fate. It will
be concurred In by the House tomor
row, however. The House, tinder the
leadership of Representative Under
wood, of Alabama, chairman of the
waya and means committee, and Speak
er Clark, endeavored to pass tha
woolen and free list bills over the veto,
but the necessary two-thirds vote
could not be mustered. Failure of
these attempts was a strong- factor In
determining leaders to close the ses
sion. Trust Investigations almost without
number were Instituted In the course
of the session, and some, notably those
bearing on monopolies In steel and
lugar. were prosecuted wltb vigor. Con
structive leglalation to bear on Fed
eral regulation of corporations Is re
garded as certain to come from these
Inquiries and plans already have
been Instituted to revise the anti-trust
laws.
Treaties Raise) Issue.
General arbitration treaties with
Great Britain and France were Bent to
the Senate by President Taft. but they
rece'ved a frigid welcome because tha
I'pper House contended that one pro
vision of tha treaties usurps tbe Sen
ate's constitutional perogatives.
Presentation of the treaties strained
hitherto cordial relations between the
foreign relatione committee and the
state department, and President Taft
made It plain that an issue had been
raised which he will carry to the coun
try. Friction In tha department of agri
culture over the enforcement of tha
pure food laws was revealed by an In
vestigation and the National Issue was
raised over whether the activities of Dr.
Harvey W. WHey. the Government's
pure food expert, had been mad In
effective. The resolution relating to popular
election of fenatqrs waa amended by
the Senate and was aent to conference

facta, In the case been made public, and
tbua upset the programme.
A man big- enough to be head of the
Department of Agriculture would not
have tolerated such a row among- his
subordinates.- He would not have per
mitted the solicitor, a law officer, to
assume charge of th enforcement of
the pur food law, which had been en
trusted by Congress to the Bureau of
Chemistry; he would not have allowed
the associate chemist to seek the undoing-
of the chief chemist, solely. that
he himself might become chief chemist.
But Secretary Wilson did these very
things, and by so doing, laid himself
open to criticism.
Department Feud Not. First One.
There have been Instances where
subordinate Government officials have
played the same frame that Solicitor
McCabe tried and have won, but there
have been more failures than successes.
During- the Spanish-American War,
Adjutant-General Corbln of the Army
made his office the most important in
the War Department, and in time the
Adjutant-General became a bigger
officer than the Secretary of War. But
Corbln wa a pretty bis; man: a much
btga-er man in military circles than
McCab Is In legal circles. He was
followed, however, by another Adjutant-General
who tried the same game,
and waa upset in the attempt, for the
Adjutant-Generar of the Army Is pure
ly a clerical official, not a directing
official, and that office haa been re
stored to the status Congress Intended
it should occupy.
The Navy Department has been
split by elmllar feuda among- bureau
chiefs, and there have been aeveral
times In recent years when the Secre
tary of tbe Navy was a murh less Im
portant official than the chief of the
Bureau of Navigation, or the chief of
aom other bureau. Gilford Plnchot. as
head of the Forest Service, was a blg
er man than Secretary Wilson when
it came to questions In which he was
Interested nd never did Plnchot have
trouble In trampling: under foot the
same Secretary who has recently been
walked over by Solicitor McCabe. And
other departmenta have, at different
times, disclosed similar instances.
Inquiry Shows Facts.
president Taft pursued a sensible
course In th Wiley ess when he de
clined to act on the recommendation of
th offlciala of th Department of
Agriculture, but deferred action until
the House committee eould complete
Its Investigation and determine Just
what the facts were. The committee,
unlike moat of th committee ap
pointed by the Democratic House, did
a good Job. and uncovered a great
deal of Inalde Information with refer
ence to the worklnga of the Depart
ment of Agriculture o far as they re
lated to Dr. Wiley and his pure food
work. As a result, th President has
not only the findings of the committee,
but the official records, and with all
thts information is In a position to
dispose of the Wiley case In accord
ance with th facts and th merits.
Whatever may be' done with Dr.
Wiley (and his offense has been
ahown to be a trivial and technical
one by which the Government lost
nothing). It la a reasonably safe pre
diction that In the future the solicitor
for th Department of Agriculture -will
perform only-those duties which Con
gress Intended b should perform; the
associate chemist, whoever be msy be,
will b assistant to th chief chemist
and hi snbordlnata in fact as well as
In name, and It la moreover probabl
that at th next regular session Con
gress will see to It thst the duties of
these respective officials are clearly
denned, and that no doubt remains ho
the pur food law Is to be enforced.
The conspirators In this case made
a grievous mistake when they tackled
such a bis;, fearless and honest man
as Dr. Wiley.
By Miracle Mother and Little
Ones Escape In Idaho
Explosion.
MAN'S ENEMIES BLAMED
Bitterness Among Creditors Believed
to Have Prompted Laying of
Deadly Charge Near Store.
Building Is Shattered.
CATALDO. Idaho. Aug-. 20. fSpe
clal.) In what was spparently a delib
erate attempt at wholesale murder,
dynamiters wrecked the home of J. B.
Van Keuren. a .ocal merchant, . last
night Thoug-h the entire back end of
the building, which was used both as a
residence and a place of business, was
demolished, the six occupants escaped
without serloua Injury. Enmity toward
Mr. Van Keuren Is generally accepted
here as the motive for the attack. The
Sheriff of Kootenai County la working
on the case, but nas made no arrests.
The explosion occurred about 8:30 in
the evening. A. K. Rogers, of Spokane,
a representative of the Spokane Mer
chants' Association, was the only per
son on the store side at the time. In
the sitting-room, situated near the back
end of the building, were Mrs. Van Keu
ren. her two children, Howard Craw
ford, her brother, and a young nephew.
All six were thrown to the floor and
badly bruised.
The most remarkable escape was that
of Mr. Rodger, who had locked the
door aaralnst which the charge was ap
parently placed but a second or so be
fore. He was walking toward the front
of the store, and was less than 20 feet
away when he waa thrown to the floor
and covered with falling cans and
boxes. Mr. Vsn Keuren was away from
home at the time. It Is the belief of
his household that Mr. Crawford prob
ably was taken by the would-be mur
derers for him.
Recently Mr. Van Keuren. when
pressed by debts, turned his business
over to the Spokane Merchants' Asso
ciation. He left numerous creditors,
some of whom were very bitter. Mr,
Van Keuren also Is said to have other
enemies.
. Mr. Rogers. In speaking of the trou
ble today, said:
"I don't think there Is any doubt but
that they were trying to get Mr. Van
Keuren. He has enemies. The man
who planned the assault undoubtedly
thought that he was In the room with
his family, and apparently was willing
to sacrifice the rest in order to get
him. The charge was very heavy.
That It was not more serious Is attri
buted to the fact that the dynamite
was apparently placed against the
building, and not under It."

RECIPROCITY IS ISSUE
OPPOSITION GRILLXXG IT, .IX

TORONTO, Ont.. Aug. 20. The elec

throughout Ontario, the great indus
trial province of Canada, by the visit
of Sir Wilfrid Laurler, the Premier.
Bnd R. L. Borden, the opposition leader.
On all sides it is reoognibed, that
recoprocity is the issue.
Even Mr. Borden has declined to
make his campaign an attack on the 15
year' record of the government. In
stead of muckraking, he will win or
lose on the reciprocity issue alone.
Although the election has been
sprung suddenly, more than 100 con
ventions were held last week and rival
candidates were named in nearly every
constlttiencv.
William Patterson. Minister of Cus
toms, one of the commissioners who
negotiated the reciprocity agreement
with Waehlngton. has been renominat
ed In Brant. Although he has held the
seat for 40 years, a special effort will
be made by the Conservatives to de
feat him. Judge Fisher, member of
the Ontario Legislature, has resigned
and will run against the Minister of
Customs. H els accounted to be a
strong man. and the result will be in
doubt.
The annexation speechea In the
American Congress are being empha
sized by the Conservative party, and
hundreds of thousands of pamphlets
containing extracts therefrom have
been distributed In sections of the
province settled by United Empire
Loyalists and recent-comers from Eng
land. The loyalists also are making a
point of displaying the British flag to
stimulate patriotism. Liberal speakers
declare that talk of annexation will
have no effect on influencing voters.
SPRINGFIELD HAS PLAN
City Engineer' Scheme Would Pre
vent Settling of Car Tracks.
SPRINGFIELD, Or., Aug. 30. (Spe
cial.) In the plans and specifications
of the City Engineer for the paving of
Main street with hard-surface pave
ment, presented at the City Council
meeting tonight, a novel plan was In
cluded for preventing the settling of
the streetcar tracks and the separation
of the rails from the pavement with
the usual warping and disfiguring of
the surface. The Engineer proposed to
dig a two-foot trench which will be
lined with a concrete box. In this the
tracks and ties will lie. A drain In
the bottom will carry away the water.
In this way the rails can be kept in
permanent contact with the pavement.
It is the invention of the City Engineer.
He has also prepared the specifica
tions of the macadamizing of Main
street from the end of the hard-surfaced
pavement to the city limits, a
distance of a mile, as well as the ma
cadamizing of Mill street also for a
distance of a mile.

build cement sidewalks on what is
probably a more extensive scale than
any city In the state outside of Port
land. A novel feature of the movement
is that it is entirely voluntary, and not
the result of condemnation of old walks.
The work has been In progress little
more than a month, and much new walk

staked out or under construction. The
contractors have one stretch of 400 feet
to lay for E. B. Tongue, which will be

CINCINNATI, Aug. 20. (Special.)
A lS-cent tip to a barber is the real
cause of much trouble in the family of

Kentucky penitentiary for five years
and he is a prisoner charged with the

More than a year ago his son, Ray

near where they lived and grot shaved.
He did not notice that there was an
other customer in the shop. When he
had been shaved young Byand gave the
barber 25 cents and told him to keep
the change. Both Bylands were work
