PHIXGTON. Dee. I- A report
at tae Cjipltol today that the
of the State Department to pro
ore liberal treatment for Amer-
wish citizens in Russia had re-
n a tentatlv3 agreement for a
ation of the r.ussian resirle-
whlch might prove a satisfactory
on of the vexed question.
Opposition to the Senate programme
for immediate action on the Sulzer
House resolution, looking to the term
inating of the treaty of 1SJ. is developing-
among some Senators. It Is
based Imrirely on the theory that any
estrangement between this country and
Itussla would hare the effect of bring
ing- Russia Into alliance with Japan,
with the result of Injuring the Oriental
trade of the Vnlted States.
Oppwaea'fa Telearrass"-
Many telegrams advancing this Idea
were received during the day. In most
of these communications the Senate
was urged net to pass the resolution.
Senator LoilKe has Given assurance
that the resolution will be considered
after Monday, but even then it may
not succeed in going through the Sen
ale so promptly. Senator Cullom has
Issued his call for the committee to
meet at 11 o'clock Monday morning,
and he said today he felt there would
be ample time for the consideration of
the resolution.
Suggestion has been made .that Sec
retary Knox be invited before the com
mittee, but as the committee's course
was virtually prescribed by the refer
ence to it of the Russian resolution,
it has been decided that it would not
do to Invite possible opposition to the
mmedlate action contemplated.
I Itlmate Delay Fsreaeea.
There is a possibility of ultimate de
lay on account of the clause in the res
olution which would require the con
;urrence of the House. Most of the
Senators believe the notice of abroga
tion provided for by the treaty must
run a year after the first of January
ant, succeeding action upon It. Sen
ior Lodge has Intimated his intention
of offering an amendment making
dear the language of the 5ulzer res
olution to cover this point.
If the committee and Senate accept
his view It will be necessary to send
the resolution back to the House. If
this should prevent action by both
bodies before adjournment for the
Christmas holidays, there would be no
further necessity for haste, as an en
tire year would be left In which Con
gress might express Itself. The House,
however, will be disposed to act
quickly so as to expedite the resolution
to the President for formal approval.

BSRL1N, Dec IS. (Special.) What

lively discussion in Germany as the re
sult of suggestions advanced by the
Dusseldorf Women's Club, recommend
ing compulsory military service of the
weaker sex. According to Frau Privy
Councillor Witzler and other leaders of
the Dusseldorf organization, the time
has come when women might be re
quired by law to fit themselves for
duties in the military hospital and com
missary departments.
Frau Von Leyden. wife of the famous
surgeon, and a leader in women's move
ments, thinks there are many difficul
ties In the way.
"But." she adds, "friends of the com
pulsory service idea can show good rea
sons for their position. They can say,
for Instance, that it is a logical conse
quence of the demand for equal rights.
If suffragists want votes they, perhaps,
ought also to perform military serv
ice." "
ASSESSED VALUES GROW
Increase In Oregon Over' Last Year
More Than $35,000,000.
SALEM. Or. Dec. 15. (Special.)
The total assessed valuation of the
State of Oregon will probably be $900.
000.000, as compared with X844.000.000
of last year.
The final report from the County
Assessors was received by the State Tax
Commission today when Malheur Coun
ty reported In. showing an assessed
valuation of 19.678. 390, an Increase for
that county over the preceding year.
This makes the total assessed valua
tion for the states as shown by the
rolls of the County Assessors to be
1783.040.217. Last year the total as
assessed by the County Assessors was
1747.6:4,404. or an Increase of $35,416.-
S1J. for this year, the percentage of
Increase being between 4 and 5 per
cent.
The assessments as made by the
County Assessors do not Include assess
ments for public service corporations.
The assessment of these corporations
by the State Tax Commission will
probably total about $90,000,000.

NEW YORK. Dec 15. If Mrs. E- H.
Harrlman should answer favorably
every letter that she has received in
the past year and a half asking for
financial aid. the widow of the railroad
king would have her fortune reduced
$120,000,000. That was the deduction
reached after compilation of Mrs. Har
rlman's letters to the Bureau of Muni
cipal research.
In all she turned over 6000 begging
letters to the bureau. The fortune left
to Mrs. Harrlman" by Tier husband was
$149,000,000.
Dr. William 11. Allen, head of the
Bureau, said the writers of 380 of the
letters from American addresses alone
wanted 169.781,400.37. I
. Some months ago Mrs. Harrlman
took 6000 letters to Dr. Allen for
analysis. She had been overwhelmed
by appeals and several private secre
taries could not keep trace of them.

of the Increased expenditure from the

the President Is not content to see the
figures without an investigation by

It frequently has been stated that
Mr. Taft. although his political friends
affect to see danger in such action,
would refuse to approve the Sherwood
bill. If he does disapprove the measure
the figures obtained through the Pen
sion Bureau could be used in any argu
ment he wished to make to Congress
against the bill.
The measure passed the house, but

NEW YORK, Dec 15. A verdict of
"not guilty" was returned late today,
freeing Lillian Graham and Ethel Con
rad of criminal charges on which they
had been ' held since last June for
shooting .the millionaire sportsman, W.
E. D. Stokes. The Jury reached Its
verdict in slightly less than one hour.
"The shooting show girls" were tried
on an Indictment of three counts, the
first charging an attempt to murder
Stokes. Of consideration of this count,
however, the Jurors were relieved by
Justice Marcus at the request of the
District Attorney. The court restricted
the Jury to the second and third counts,
which charged, respectively, assault In
the first degree with Intent to kill and
assault In the second degree with In
tent to do bodily injury.

Conrad had misunderstood the verdict
and her companion tried to assure her
that they were free.
"Oh, I know," she said. "Tell mother
we are free. Tell her we are coming
home."
The glrl' hysteria continued ten min

JHLLI0NS SPENT IN .OREGON
Construction work under way
in Oregon during 1911 is cause
for gratification to every citizen
of the state. In the year that is
closing many millions of dollars
have been spent on big projects
in every section of the state. This
development is especially signifi
cant when it is considered that
capital elsewhere has shown a
tendency to retrench.
The big things that are being
accomplished in Oregon will be
featured in The Oregonian An
nual, to be issued January 1,
1912. The activities of the rail
roads, for instance, are well worth
reviewing. Construction of two
trunk lines into Central Oregon
has progressed ; ' a new railroad,
has been completed from Port
land to Tillamook; work has
started on a line to tap the rich.
Coos Bay district; electric rail
ways have been under' construc
tion from Portland to Mount Hood
and from Salem to Eugene.
These railroad extensions, . as
well as other big works, such as
the Celilo Canal, the erection of
power dams, immense grading
and reclamation projects, will
have their place in the AnnuaJ. It
will be a paper that the Oregon
citizen can read with satisfaction
and take pride in sending to his
friends
The price of the Annual will be

States, Canada, Mexico and the

Jor nine months has been as near, a
state of terror as a well-disciplined
Army post can be. Not only were
there numerous Incendiary fires, but
the commanding officers of the post
had received frequent letters, threaten

night of March 14. The structure,
which cost approximately $250,000, was

horses maimed and 30 feet of heavy
plate-glass crushed to fragments is the
sum total of damage done by a runa
way team at the noon hour today.
A handsome team of blacks hooked
to a farm wagon in charge of Harry
Orr, delivering apples for Christmas in
the northern part of the city, took
fright and sped for the business sec
tion, where they tore down Fifth street
in a reckless manner, threatening de
struction to everything in their path.
Attempting to enter an open livery
stable door, one horse fell and was
dragged by Its mate, together with the
wagon. Into the office of the Rogue
River Courier. Just inside the heavy
plate-glass front through which they
crashed sat Editor C. G. Coutant, who
barely escaped death from the shower
of glass that fell around him.
Both horses are badly mutilated and
the wagon is ruined. Had It not oc
curred at the noon hour the runaway
would have endangered the lives of
Tom Hanley, telegrapher, and Miss
Louise Birdsall, stenographer, who were
a few minutes previous at their desks
but two feet from the large window.
The same team ran away six weeks

MERRY WAR IS PREDICTED

hold in. Pacific Coast Country.
Did Harrlman Yield?
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 15. (Special.)
That the Chicago & Northwestern
and Northern Pacific have formed more
than a traffic agrement to run through,
trains from Portland and Seattle to Chi
cago, and that the Northern Pacific line "
is now, or shortly will be, the North
western's own outlet to Portland and
the Puget Sound country, was the
declaration tday of traffic officials of
all lines who have been watching the
movements ot the two companies for
the past year.
Color was given to the belief by the"
announcement on Tuesday by President
Howard ElliotA, from Newfork. of the
traffic agreement in regard to passen
ger service inaugurated on Thursday.
James J. Hill, chairman of the board
of directors of the Great Northern, last
week sold a hetavy issue of Burlington
bonds in London.
Hill Roadl Active Recently.
Financiers on the Inside said that Mr.
Hill negotiated the sale largely because
of his disposal of his Northern Pacific.
stock, which he liad already determined
to unload. For some time the Great
Northern has been building parallel
lines and branches in Northern Pacific
territory, and thje announcement that
Mr. Hill had ceased to hold a fiscal
interest In the rival line would cause
no surprise, it Is said. In railroad cir
cles. For more than sUx moVths the North
western has been . endeavoring to se
cure a foothold on the Pacific Coast
country, but the project "was resisted
by the Harrlman eytem.
Whether the latest deal between the
Coast line and the. Northwestern was
accomplished with the consent of the
Harrlman officials is not known, but
several of the Seattle traffic men took
it to indicate that the Harrlman inter
ests were aet at defiance.
Vigorous PoHey Moving;.
A more vigorous -policy was inaugu
rated on the Northwestern system
through the elevation of W. A. Gardner
to the presidency. The Milwaukee, the
strongest competitor of the Northwest
ern, completing its own line to the
Pacific Coast, stimulated the plans of
the Northwestern to reach into similar
territory.
"Although I am not on the Inside of
the deal, I am satisfied that the North
western has secured control of the
Northern Pacific," said R. M. Calkins,
general traffic manager of the Mil
waukee, today. "We sSiall welcome the
new road. For 35 years we have been,
fighting them in the Elast, and shall be
prepared to carry on the battle out
here."
It was freely predicted in high rail-?
road circles today that jvlthin the next
six months, as the result of the new
agreement or sale, in which the two
lines are Involved, that solid Northwest
ern through trains would be running
from Chicago to North Pacific Coast
points.
