BRISTOW MAKES DEFENSE
Charge of Collusion In Sending Har
vester Correspondence Is Re
newed, but Denied by Au
thor of Resolution.
WASHINGTON. April 25. The first
sensational debate In the Senate at this
session of Congress broke today over
Colonel Roosevelt's official correspond
ence about tho International Harvester
Company when ho was President, in
1907.
Senator Bristow, of Kansas, wss the
principal speaker In support of Colonel
Roosevelt, and Senator Williams, of
Mississippi, was the principal assail
ant. Mr. Wllllama characterised the
former President as a "modern Csesar,
willing to seire power by any means,"
while Mr. Bristow defended the Col
onel as the modern tribune of the peo
pl and warmly criticised , rreeidont
Taft's Administration.
Apoatle's Creed Parodied.
Tb-dbate became almost ultra-sensational
when Senator Williams read
to th Senate a parody on the Apostle's
Creed, as follows:
"I believe In Theodore Roosevelt,
maker of noise and strife, and in am
bition, his only creed (my Lord). H
was born of the love of power and suf
fered under William H. Taft; was
crucified, dead and burled. He descend
ed into Africa. Tho third year he arose
again from the Jungles and ascended
Into favor and sltteth on tha right hand
of his party, whence he shall com to
scourge th licked and the dead.
T believe in the holy Outlook, th
lg stick, the Ananias club, th for
giveness of political activities, the res
uirectlon of Presidential ambitions and
th third term everlastingly amen,
amen, amen,"
Bristow Renews Charges.
Th debate was precipitated by Sen
ator Brlstow's return to his charge of
yesterday that collusion had existed
between the Senate and the Depart
ment of Justice in th sending of the
official correspondence yesterday and
that partiality had been shown In that
only correspondence , regarding th
course of President Roosevelt's Admin
istration had been sent to th Senate,
while th papers relating to the Taft
Administration had not. He asserted
again that Attorney-General Wlcker
sham had had his reply ready to send ,
when Senator Johnston's resolution of
yesterday reached him and referred to
the fact that two similar resolutions
by Senators Overman and Lea had not
b)en complied with.
Senator Johnston dented there had
been an understanding" and said he had

BOYS HAZE PROFESSOR
Superintendent Is Locked In Room
and Evil Odor Started.
SPOKANE, Wash., April 25. (Spe
cial.) "Tack" Brown and his followers
among the boy students in the high
school at Palouse, Wash., have started
a school row which threatens to give
them a shock of their lives.
In crder to humiliate Superintendent
Elmer C. Jones and defy his authority,
the gang yesterday spilled foul-smelling
liquid in liberal quantities inside
the building, made the laboratory room
look like a kitchen on moving day,
locked the superintendent in a room
with "Tack" Brown and otherwise
made living so unpleasant in the class
rooms that all classes were dismissed.
Public feeling is aroused and the school
directors are working on the case and
will bo backed in whatever action they
take.
The row started with friction be
tween Superintendent and teachers and
the pupils. Last Friday Superintendent
Jones expelled a student for breach of
discloline. Other students held a kan
garoo court, acquitted the student and
demanded that the superintendent
shake with him and reinstate him in
school, which was done. During, the
same afternoon a vile-smelling liquid
was poured on the floors in the class
rooms, on the banisters and in the halls
and rubber overshoes burned in the
furnace, driving everybody outside the
building.
MAN'S FINGER TORN OFF
Conductor Catches Hand In Harness
While Passing Team.
An odd accident yesterday afternoon
resulted in C. Berger, a streetdar con
ductor, losing the little finger of his
right hand.
Berger was a conductor on on of the
open baseball cars. As the car was
proceeding along Twenty-third street,
between Everett and Flanders, it
grazed a loam of horses pulling a heavy
dray. The horse next to th car
rubbed heavily against Berger, who
was standing on the running board
and he turned suddenly and put his
hand on the horse, in an effort to push
it away rrom the car.
As he did so his finger became en
tangled in the harness and was torn
off. Berger considers it remarkable
that th strain, which was a terrific
one, did not pull him off the car. A
short time after Berger was taken to
St. Vincent's Hospital, his finger was
picked up on the street and brought to
the hospital.
A ring worn on the severed finger
may have been In some measure re
sponsible for the accident. Berger
lives at 785 Savier street.
SALARY BILL ON BALLOT
State Printer's Remuneration to Be
Put Up to Vote of People.
SALEM, Or.. April 25. (Special.)
That the initiative petitions directed at
Etate Printer Dunlway to place him on
a flat salary as soon as the votes are
counted in November this year, will
find a place for the bill on the ballot,
was the declaration of Harry H. Hill
today. Hill is a prominent union labur
man and "has been largely behind the
move to amend the act of 1911 in such
a manner as to make the flat salary ef
fective this year.
Petitions were held up pending a de
cision in the University of Oregon
cases, as the question was raised there
as to the validity of petitions wher
several sheets of signatures are at
tached to one copy of a petition.
The Supreme Court completely
dodged this question in its decision on
the referendum cases. Many of the
Dunlway petitions were so arranged as
to make them invalid if the court had
upheld Judge Galloway, but as no steps
were taken in this direction, decision
ha? been reached to put the Dunlway
bill on the ballot.

DALLAS VOTES UNANIMOUSLY
At Mass Meeting 300 Citizens
Voice Their Sentiments.
CAMPBELL FAVORS MOVE
Plan to Consider Merger Proposal
of State University and Agricul
tural College Held to Be the
Only Feasible Solution.
DALLAS. Or.. April 25. (Special.)
Calling on Governor West to appoint
a commission to look into all phases
and plans broached for the consolida
tion of the University of Oregon and
the Oregon Agricultural College, a
resolution was unanimously passed
here tonight at a mass meeting, pre
sided over by E, B. Piper, president of
the Portland Commercial Club.
The meeting Immediately followed
the banquet at which Dallas was host
to the Portland excursionists who left
Portland early thla morning.
Over 300 people attended the meet
ing held at the Courthouse. The reso
lution was introduced by W. K. Newell,
of Portland, and the sentiment voiced
was in effect that the appointment of
such a commission probably would put
to an end criticism often heard and
which often has caused resentment at
both institutions.
Prominent Men Talk.
Among those who spoke at the
meeting were J. D. Lee, G. F. Johnson,
William Hanley. Rev. E. W. Miles, Dal
las; George Hyland, W. E. Trudhomme,
W. J. Kerr, president of the Oregon
Agricultural College; P. L Campbell,
president of the .State University, and
Mr. Newell. Only Mr. Newell and Mr.
Loe, who seconded the resolution's
passage., talked lor flie commission
plan.
When the matter was put to the
vote both Presidents Kerr and Camp
bell voted in favor of the commission.
Following the meeting President
Campbell said:
"I think it a wise move and the plan
for the commision Is the only logical
way to get at a feasible solution of '
the problem which has been uppermost
in the educational progress of Oregon."
Citizens of McMinnville, Sheridan and
Dallas extended an enthusiastic wel
come to the business men of Portland,
who are en route to Corvallls and the
Oregon Agricultural College.
The visitors were informed that
everyone was in sympathy with the
new slogan, "land schools on the soil."
which the Portland party brought to
them, and used every effort to express
the spirit of co-operation, which they
declared should grow between the me
tropolis and the tributary cities of the
Willamette Valley.
The departure o fthe train from
Portland in the morning was delayed
several minutes while the excurstonslta
waited for the arrival of Carl R. Gray,
who had hurried from St. Paul to make
the trip. Tliils interfered with the
schedule in the earlier part of the ex
cursion, but although the programme
at McMinnville was cut short by lack
of time, the greeting extended by the
county seat of Yamhill County was
i.one the less enthusiastic.
W..T. Macy, president of the McMinn
ville Commercial Club, welcomed the
visitors at the station with a large
representation of business men of the
city, who escorted them to the Hotel
Elberton, where luncheon was served.
Yamhill County walnuts'were on of the
features of the luncheon.
May or Arthur McPhlllips gave a
f-hort address of greeting to the Port
land business men in a meeting at the
Commercial Club immediately after the
luncheon, the keynote of his speech be
ing the unity of interests between tho
Willamette Valley cities and Portland.
Portland Their Big Brother.
"eW look upon Portland as our big
brother," he said. "It Is to us the gate
way to the markets of the world and
the Portland business men have struck
the right key note when they come to
us as they have today and show us
that they are anxious to become better
acquainted and to work with us for our
mutual benefit."
Dr. L. W. Riley, president of the
McMinnville College, spoke on the re
sources of Yamhill County and chal
lenged the agricultural communities of
the world to compete with it.
Members of the Sheridan. Commercial
Club boarded the train at Sheridan
Junction and accompanied the party to
their city, where R. K. Pomeroy, pres
ident of the club, and ex-Mayor A, M.
Fanning gave formal addresses of
greeting and then turned their visitors
ever to their hospitable townsmen.
Aporti on of the party went by spe
cial train to Willimina, where they in
spected the operation of the plant of
the Pacific Pressed Brick & Tile Com
pany, which has been installed here
for about four years and which is sup
plying a large portion of the pressed
brick used in structural work in Port
