REPUBLICAN CLASH
IN HOUSE BITTER
Mondell Defends Convention
Action and Norris Re
peats Theft Charges.
INTERRUPTIONS ARE MANY

Cheer Prophecy of Victory.
Piracy," Says One.
WASHINGTON. July 24. Republican
political wounds were laid bare and
much bitterness was displayed today
in the House when Representative Mod
dell, of Wyoming, the member of the
credentials committee of the recen
Chicago convention which seated Taft
contesting delegates, and Representa
tive Norris. of- Nebraska, an ardent
Roosevelt Republican, clashed In two
set speeches. Mondell defended the
action of the convention, while Norris
denounced it with bitter emphasis.
Once In Mr. Mondell's speech order
was restored oniy when the chair was
on the point of ordering the mace down
to compel Aarburton, or wasmngton,
Republican, to take his seat. Again
that emblem of authority was near be
Ing used to quell turbulence when Rep
resentative Humphrey, of Washington,
Republican, declined to cease his in
terruption of Mr. Norris' speech.
orr! Quotes Vagrne Authority.
Mr. Norris followed Mr. Mondell with
the statement that a man whose name
was known throughout the country
had acknowledged that the Taft man
agers had stolen the delegates from
the State of Washington. This man. lie
said, was engaged in supporting the
President because, Mr. Norria added, ne
entertained "political aspirations.'
"When the gentleman makes such a
statement." interjected Representative
Humphrey, "he certainly should gi e
his authority."
Mr. Norris declined to divulge the
identity of his informant. He plunged
at once into his reply to Mr. Mondell
and criticised the latter's denuncia
tion of "soap-box primaries," he re
ferred to the primaries in Indiana,
which went for Taft and which Mr.
Mondell said were regular.
Washington Primary Defended.
"The gentleman loves the primary
that goes 'for Taft," Senator Norris
ironically said, "but how he hates and
despises the primary that goes for
Roosevelt. He defended the wasning
ton primaries and said that no charge
3f dishonesty of any kind had been reg
istered until the Taft men discovered
that if allowed to go unchallenged the
Roosevelt managers would be within
three votes of controlling the state
convention. He asserted that secret
meetings were held and Taft delegates
named.
"The actions 'of the committee in
Chicago," said Mr. Norris, addressing
the Democratic side of the HouRe,
"were all in favor of Democratic suc
cess. They did more to bring about
the possibility of Democratic victory
than the Democratic party ever did or
ever was competent to do. The Taft
Republicans and the machine Repub
licans are together, 'two souls with
but a single thought; -two hearts that
beat as one.
Democrats Applaud Xorrla.
"When your convention met in Balti
more your temporary chairman in his
'keynote speech' devoted all of his time
to an attack on Roosevelt, and paid
no attention to Taft. There is another
evidence of the fusion and unison.
Mr. Norris drew Democratic applause
when he said it was conceded "con
fidentially at least by all Republicans,'
that President Taft could not be re
elected. He added that the "President
running on a trumped-up nomination,"
could only result in votes for the Demo
cratlc candidate. Everybody knows
that the fight is between Roosevelt and
Wilson, he said.
Moadrll Denies T. R. Contentions,
Specific denials of the contentions of
the Roosevelt managers that their can
dldate had been improperly deprived
of delegates In the Chicago convention
in the contested cases brought before
the National credentials committee was
made by Mr. Mondell. He character
ised the contests as "mere bluffs,"
without shadow of substantiation.
"It is proposed to steal the livery
and secure the benefits of Republican
slate organisations," said Mr. Mon
dell, "while at the same time repudiat
ing the party and candidates. It is dif
ficult to conceive a more shameless
proposal of pure piracy than this.
"The proposition that electors on the
Republican ticket shall cast their vote
for the candidate of a third party has
its alleged excuse in downright and
persistent prevarication, on which rot
ten foundation it lays its proposal of
treasonable larceny."

Pennsylvania Official Says
Surplus Js Threatened.
FAIR WAGE BASIS SOUGHT
Increase for All Employes In Pro
portion to That Demanded by
Engineers Declared to Mean
Cost of $1 1,878,688.
NEW YORK. July 24. W. W. Atter-
bury, vice-president of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, was the principal wit
ness today before the arbitration com
mission, sitting to pass upon the de
mands of the locomotive engineers of
all Eastern railways for Increased pay.
Mr. Atterbury said the Pennsyl
vania's method of arriving at a basis
of pay for its employes had been a
constant effort to pay a lair rate lor
a fair day's work."
To grant the demands now made Dy
the engineers, the witness said, would
add to the operating expenses of the
railroad J91 1.580 a year, and if pro
portionate increases were made in the
pay of all other employes, the cost
would be $11, 878.688. which, he de
clared, would wipe out In one year
the surplus of the Pennsylvania rail
road.
Dealing with the question of grant
ing the request of the steam engineers
that the right to operate all eiecinc
rains be given them, Mr. Atterbury
said :
There is a serious side to that prop
osition. The Pennsylvania Railroad s
practice has been, when we have elec
trified, to assign to that electric serv
ice, at a reasonable and fair rate, our
steam engineers. The question of ob
ligating ourselves to continue that for
the future is a more serious matter.
We have not thought or maKing any
change, but the decision by this com
mission that such snail ne me case in
the future would so tie up the rail
roads and the property as to prohibit
the lease or sale of the property.
WORLD'S HOP CROP BIG
(Continued From First Page.)
912 is likely to leave a surplus on the
market. That is why the price pendu
lum Is swinging backward. New crop
contracts opened, in the Spring around
27 cents, and since then the decline
has been uninterrupted.
The present price of the 1912 crop is
0 cents. Whether or not the market
will go lower will depend on various
evelopments. The crop has not been
made anywhere in the world yet and
there is ample time for disaster to
overtake it somewhere. Up to the
present time, however, everything has
been favorable.
Beer Sales Fall Off.
Beer sales In the first half of this
year did not snow me increase mui
was recorded in the preceding five
years. The brewery output barely held
its own In the first part of the year.
and has lately decreased.
The falling off in June amounted to
about 19 per cent. The loss was
heaviest in the largest beer consuming
and producing centers of the .East,
particularly Chicago, Milwaukee. St
Louis and New York. The poor brewery
business has had much to do with re
pressing the demand, not only for hops
ow existing, but also for the coming
crop.
In England, tne good crop outiooa.
the abundant supply of old hops and
the labor troubles have all operated
against the market, while in Conti
nental Europe prices have been weak
ened by the prospect of a heavy yield
the coming ran.
All these factors have combined to
put the hop market at the present
level which, while low as compared
with the values of last year, is still
much higher than the average. Twenty
cents a pound to the grower means a
profit of 10 or 12 cents and in some
exceptionally favorable cases a larger
remuneration.
Dealers Predict Decline.
Hop dealers believe that on the face
of conditions as they now exist, the
market must decline to the lower basis,
probably 15 or 16 cents a pound. This
will depend, however, more or less on
the temper of the growers.
There Is likely to be a good buying
movement after the hops are In the
bale and if the selling is as free as it
generally Is on a big crop year, the
weight of the offerings will carry the
price down. On the other hand, should
a crop scare be started in any part of
the world it would quickly be reflected
in higher market valuations.
Oregon Crop Bents 1911.
The Oregon crop is estimated at
100.000 to 110,000 bales. Last year this
State produced only 72,000 bales. The
yield in 1910 was 94,000 bales, in 1909,
83,500 bales and in 1908, 92.000 bales.
The largest Oregon crops were in 1907
1906 and 1905 when 136,000, 160,000 and
117,000 respectively bales were har
vested.
California raised about 90,000 bales
last year and will have, as many and
probably more this year. The Wash
ington crop is estimated at 30,000 bales
against about 25.000 bales In 1911. New
York produces about 30,000 or 35,000
, bales every year. These are the only
American states that grow hops.
Not only will Oregon this year have
a large yield, but it will be of excellent
quality. Early in the season the yards
had the usual vermin visitation, but
the hot spell last week killed off most
of the pest and the sprayers completed
the work. A few misguided dealers,
thinking they could elevate the market,
spread the word broadcast that the
Oregon yards were Infested and threat'
ened with ruin, but the only result of
their meddling was to kill off the de
mand from the East. There is nothing
the brewers fear more than moldy hops
and that was the Inference they derived
from the vermin reports.
In spite of the efforts to give Oregon
hops a black eye they are coming out
all right. The crop promises to be the
best in quality that has been raised
for many years, but the consumers will
wait until they see the samples be
fore they Invest freely.

general suffering. The temperature
rose to 92, but the humidity made the
heat almost unbearable.
Heavy and general rains tonight

domestic manufactures, agriculture, and
omer industries.
Recall Goes to Committee.
A. 'D. Pugh, a Des Moines Socialist,
created considerable excitement by ap
pearing before the convention on a
proxy of one of the regular delegates
and demanding that the platform de
clare for the recall. The proposition
was referred to a committee.
The first demonstration started a few
minutes after the convention opened,
when a telegram from Colonel Roose
velt, congratulating Iowa progressives,
was read. The Colonel referred to the
Chicago convention, which he con
demned in emphatic terms, and de
clared a new party was necessary.
The temporary chairman of the con
vention, Frank Randall, of Cedar
Rapids, voiced the temper of the dele
gates in a speech in which he lashed
both Taft and Wilson. He closed by
saying:
"Theodore Roosevelt Is fighting that
his brother shall not continue bound,
and the Progressive party is with him
In the fight."
"Standpat" Wings Denounced.
Before that, Randall had said:
"We are not with Roosevelt: he Is
with us; with us In our battle for equal
political opportunity, with us in our
struggle for truly representative gov
ernment." Randall declared the new party was
needed "to carry out the promises of
the Republican party," and continued:
"Fair promises and poor perform
ances have characterized this party un
der standpat manipulation. The ma
jority in the party has stood for the
right, but by reason of a standpat
President, influenced by wealth and
privilege, the right has not prevailed.
We need a new party because the bosses
are in control of both the old ones, the
Democratic as well as the Republican.
They say that Woodrow Wilson is a
progressive, but we must not forget
that there is a standpat wing In the
Democratic party that will control that
party despite anything Woodrow Wilson-
can do. It will be of no avail to
forsake Taft for Wilson."
TAFT HEADQUARTERS CLOSED
California Organization Awaits Out

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24. The local
headquarters of the Taft Republicans
of California, which organization con
ducted President Taft's campaign In
the convention primary fight, have been
closed and plans held in abeyance to
await the action of the third party
convention in Chicago in August.
The ' Democratic leaders also are
marking time, although for a different
reason. The Bell-Spreckels-McNab con
troversy is responsible for the delay in
announcement of campaign plans in the
Democratic camp. Theodore Bell, who
controls the state central committee,
nominally is in command.- but Gavin
McNab, veteran leader of San Fran
cisco Democrats, has said In print that
Wilson's strength In California will not
be affected by the support or non-support
of Bell and Bell's followers.
Rudolph Spreckels, progressive and
La Follette supporter, has Injected
himself telegraphically into the Demo
cratic situation by an opinion similar
to McNab's, and leaders of the Wood
row Wilson League also are said to
have opposed the leadership of Bell.

Coos Bay has started but as yet there

The plant at Empire will be operated
