Counsel for the defense maintained that their clients were not then con nected with the company, but their ob jections were overruled after the Fed eral Attorney had declared that the acts committed by the directors in 1892 bad ' been duplicated later by the de fendants.

OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. March 20. If friends of the Borah-Jones three-year homestead bill In the House had been willing to fore go the pleasure of hearing themselves talk, that bill would have passed the House early this afternoon and soon have been on Its way to the White House, but the determination of various Western members to engage in debate carried the discussion to a late hour and drove out of the House most all the Eastern members, with the result that after six hours' discussion one of the opponents of the bill made a point of no quorum and forced' the adjourn ment. The bill will come up again next Wednesday and unquestionably will pass If the Western men will stop talking;. Following four hours of gen era! debate, the House proceeded to consider amendments to the bill and had adopted all but one amendment suggested by the public lands commit tee and had voted down all the objec tionable amendments when a dispute arose over a timber amendment pro posed by Representative Lenroot. This amendment would not have endangered the bill In any way, but It brought forth bitter assaults upon the Interior Department and particularly on special agents, which moved Representative Morse, of Wisconsin,, to resent the strong language used and to force an adjournment by raising the point of no quorum. In the entire debate today not one member voiced opposition to the main features of the bill. BELT LINE STRIKES SNAG Dock Commissioners Want Railroad Track Removed.
