NOTARY AIDS GAS B WELL DENIES CAN A RAILROADS SHIPS Administration Bill Is Passed by Senate. CNE-MW CONTROL PROVIDED Principle of Free Tolls Is Again Indorsed. FINAL. VOTE IS 47 TO 15 Restriction Also Made Against Trust Owned Vessels, by Vote of 36 to 23 House Bill Some what Modified. WASHINGTON. Aug. The Panama Canal administration bill providing free passage to American ships, prohibiting railroad-owned vessels from using the waterway and authorising the estab lishment of a one-man government when the canal is completed. was passed by the Senate tonight by a vote of 47 to IS. The provision for free passage through the canal, which was fought out in the Senate Wednesday, was Indorsed again Just before the pas cage of the measure. Attached to the bill as It passed the Senate were two important amendments directed at trust or railroad control of steamship lines. The first, by Sen ator Reed, would prohibit ships owned by an illegal industrial combination from using the canal, and the second, by Senator Bourne, would force rail roads to give up water lines that might otherwise be their competitors, if it were proved that they were stifling Competition. FtacM Continues to End. Opponents of the toll-free provision for American ships, against which Great Britain made formal protest, car ried their fight up to the last moment or the bill's consideration. Just be fore its passage Senator Root moved W strike out tne section giving iree Iissage to Amerlcan"coastwise vessels. to strike out the provision of free tolls to American ships In foreign trade. Both motions were defeated by over whelming votes. As the bill passed It would permit American coastwise . vessels to pass through the canal free without condl- lons, while American foreign trade hips might pass through free if their wners agree to sell the vessels to the United States at a fair price in time of war or emergency. The great fight of the day centered about the provision to prohibit railroad-owned ships from using the canal. : Original Prohibition .Modified. The broad terms of the original House bill which would have required every ailroad in the country to dispose at once of any steamship lines with which t might otherwise compete were not accepted by the Senate. This was mod- fled so that railroads would be pro hibited only from owning steamship tnes that may operate through the Tanama Canal. The Reed amendment. however. adopted later by a vote of 36 to 25.-t-estored much of the vigor of the anti- allroad provisions of the House bill. lit provided that if the Interstate Cora- hieree Commission should find that any ailroad had an interest in a com petitive line of steamers and that uch interest was Injurious to the wel fare of the public, the Commission flight compel the railroad to dispose f its steamer connections. Bmndeitee Contend la Vain. Senator Brandegee. chairman of the nter-oceanlc canals committee of the enate. made an Ineffective ' fight on he rigid provisions against railroad hips. After the amendments to the House bill had been adopted be moved hat the whole programme relating to ailroad control be stricken out. This notion was defeated. 45 to 18. A subsequent proposal by Mr. Brandegee to permit any ships to use he canal, giving to the Interstate ommerce Commission power of con- rol over them, also was defeated. Tb Reed amendment against trust wned ships was called up for a second ote before the bill passed and was- dopted on final passage by a vote of S to 23. The completed canal bill finally was assed, with Senators Burton, Crane, iallinger. Lodge, Root and other op onents of the free toll and anti-rs.il- oad features voting; against it. Facetious Amendment Offered. In the form In which It returns to he House, the bill adds to the gen re 1 scheme for operating and gov rning the Panama Canal provisions or the admission to American regls ry of any forelgn-bullt ships owned y Americans, provided they are oper ted wholly in the foreign trade. No ebate was allowed today under the greement made yesterday on the mendments offered by Senators Bourne and Reed. Following the adoption of the lat- Ur amendment. Senator Fall lntro- uced a facetious provision requiring he canal authorities to hold up all blips and search them for trust-made oods. If any such should be found It as provided that the vessel should e held while the case was tried in burt. On the vote Senator Fall de- Concluded oa Face 3.) Talk of Wagers on Presidential As pirants Rife on Stock Exchange, . but Cash Is Scarce. vrvw YORK. Aug. 9. (Special.) There was considerable talk of wagers on the Presidential aspirants in me financial district today, but real money continued to lie low. On the Stock Exchange a member of f.r.rt to nut ud 14000 to $2000 against the re-election of President Taf t and an other asserted that he had $1000 at hand to lay against $4000 that Colonel Roosevelt would be the successful candidate. The odds against Governor vnson OTr l to 2. disDlaylng no change from the former figures. The odds quoted on th Colonel in Broad street were in most cases 3 to 1 against his election. A cotton broker, who apparently ioi- lows the dictates of personal preier mor. rlosalv than prevailing quotations of wagers, was reported to have laid $75 to $25 on the ex-rresi- dent.

GRAIN BAG SCARCITY FELT Inland Empire Fanners Fear Ability to Handle Crops as Usual. LEWISTON. Idaho. Aug. 9. (Spe cial.) The farmers of the Inland Em pire are today facing an unprecedented scarcity of grain bags and it is believed that it will be impossible to obtain a sufficient amount to handle the crop now being harvested. From figures that have been ob tained In Lewlston it is shown that there will be a scarcity of fully 4.000, 000 bags owing to the unexpected con ditions throughout the Pacific North west. At present the price of bags has reached the limit and are selling at 12 1-2 cents. It may be necessary to deliver a very considerable portion of the crop in bulk cars, where it is possible to get access to elevators. The farmers of the Lewlston country are feeling the scarcity reported in other sections. GALLOWAY FAVORS PERE McMlnnvlll Lawyer Appears for Second Time Before Court. SALEM. Or., Aug. 9- (Special.) Francis Galloway, of McMlnnville. son of Judge Galloway, of the Third Judi cial District, argued his second case before the Supreme Court Thursday. The peculiar circumstance exists that his first case, argued a few weeks ago. that of Kerr vs. Duvall. was an appeal from his father's decree and in that case he was arguing against his father's decision. The Supreme Court decided that the father was right and the son was wrong. In the case argued yesterday he ar gued In favor of his father's decree. This is the case of Irvine vs. Beck. SEATTLE PASSES FLAG LAW City Council Overrides Mayor's Veto on His Own Measure. SEATTLE, Wash7Aug. 9. The City Council, by a vote of 6 to 3, today passed over Mayor Cotterill's veto the so-called anti-red flag ordinance, which provides that when any flag Is carried in a procession the American flag shali be borne with equal promlnencs. The ordinance was drawn by Mayor Cotterlll, but was amended by the Council so that it would oblige lodges at funerals and visiting militiamen to carry the American flag, and the Mayor said the amendments would make the ordinance a dead letter. , Reductions Declared Dangerously Deep. BLOW TO INDUSTRY FEARED Rates on Raw Wool and Cloth ' Ing Held Insufficient. TARIFF BOARD DEFENDED President Urges Congress Not to Ad journ, However, Without Enact- -lng Lower Tariff Preserv ing Protective Principle. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Holding that ts low rates would bring disaster to home industry, President Taft today returned to Congress with his veto a bill to revise the wool tariff sched ule "K" of thb Payne-Aldrlch law. This is the second time that the Presl ""t has vetoed the bill within a year. ivjQ, " -ti of the bill. President Taft BoaT. a peal to Congress not to adjourn until a measure had been enacted substantially reducing unnec essary protection for the wool Industry of the country. More Vetoes to Come. The President will follow his veto of the wool bill with similar action on the steel and cotton bills, and it also is expected that he will veto' the excise tax measure on grounds of believing it unconstitutional. "I stand by my pledges to maintain a degree of protection to offset the dif ference in cost of production here and abroad,, and will heartily approve any bill reducing duties to this level," wrote Mr. Taft. While the present bill and the one disapproved last year were Identical in terms, the President's reason differed. He vetoed the former because it had been framed before the Tariff Board's report the latter because he said it had been framed with disregard for the Board's findings. Low Rates Held Injurious. "Most of the rates In the submitted bill," wrote the President, "are so low in themselves that If enacted Into law the inevitable result would be Irre trievable injury to the wool-growing Industry the enforced idleness of much of our wool-combing and spin ning machinery and of thousands of looms and the consequent throwing out of employment of thousands of workmen." The bill sent to the White House im posed an ad valorem duty of 29 per cent on raw wool and on clothes of 49 per cent. Both rates, Mr. Taft held, were insufficient to protect the wool grower and the manufacturer. It was predicted today that the wool bill might be passed by the House over Mr. Taft's veto, but there was some doubt as to Its fate In the Senate. Re publican leaders were inclined to be lieve that it would fall of passage there, as it did 12 months ago. The President declared Jn his mes sage that he was"nxlous to see sched ule "K" revised downward and that he would be glad to see Congress remain (Concluded on Page 2.)

ALBANY CHIEF IS GUILTY Daughtry Attacks Man, Pleads Guilty and Willingly Pays Fine. ALBANY, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) After knocking down T. B. Young, an Albany painter, for making a statement that he had been seen drunk on tne streets, Ellis Daughtry, chief of police of Albany, today pleaded guilty to a charge of assault and paid a fine of $5. Young swore to a complaint be fore Justice of the Peace Swan shortly before noon and hearing that a war rant had been issued for his arrest, Daughtry went to Swan's office and entered the plea. He admitted hitting Young several times, but said he con sidered the assault justified In view of statements Young had made about him. The two men met in the drugstore of Burkhart & Lee and an altercation arose. Young says the chief of police struck him several blows with his fists, hitting him on the head and breast and tearing his vest and shirt. He says he did not strike Daughtry and the only defense he made was to try and ward off the officer's blows. Prior trouble between Daughtry ana Young is- said to have occurred about three weeks ago, when Daughtry ar rested Young on a charge of assault. Since that time Young is said to have felt aaTarrieven at the chief of oolice and Daughtry's friends assert thai it was because of this feeling that Young circulated a report that the offlcei had been drunk. Young- says, though, that he did not start the report, but merely repeated it to a friend as a rumor he had heard. LAND BOARD IS PROVOKED Attorney-General Criticised In Sav age Tract Matter. SALEM, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) De claring that Attorney-General Craw ford, although advised and Instructed by the State Land Board to bring con demnation proceedings to secure the Savage tract adjoining the Peniten tiary did not call In any members of the Board or the superintendent of the Penitentiary to testify as to the value of the land or conditions at the prison relative to the condemnation proceed ings, the Attorney-General came in for sharp criticism from Governor West and Secretary Olcott at a meeting of the State Land Board. These members of the Board consider that $2000 for five and a fraction acres of land, much of which is in the creek bottoms, is too high a price. The land will probably not be taken by the Board at that price. The Board will also probably refuse to honor a bill of $11.20 for automobile hire for tak ing the Jury to view the land, believ ing that the members of the Jury could have been taken In a streetcar as well.

SKAGWAY, Alaska, Aug. 9. The discovery of a new pass through the Alaska range, the exploration of 60 miles of country which has been a blank on the map and the verification of the assertion that the ascent of Mount McKinley can be made along the northeastern ridge, were accom plished by the Parker-Browne Mount McKinley expedition, which arrived here last night on the way home from the mountain. The expedition, headed by Professor Herschel Parker, of New York, and Belmore Browne, of Tacoma, left Sew ard February 20, with ten dogs, travel ing 400 miles over a rough country, to the northeast ridge of the mountain, where the ascent of the south peak was begun. An altitude of 20,200 feet was reached by the climbers. "The most difficult part of the climb was In the zone be tween the 12,000-foot and the 17,000 foot altitudes," said Mr. Browne to day. "Above 17,000 feet the work was not difficult. Three of us. Professor Parker, Marl Lavoy and myself, made the last 3000 feet of the climb, Arthur Aten, the fourth member of our party, remaining in our camp at 17.000 feet. We got within 300 feet of the top and could have made the summit easily within an hour, but for a blinding snowstorm driven by a cold wind that forced us to retreat. The top of the mountain Is unbroken and would not be difficult to surmount under favor able weather conditions." The new country mapped by the ex pedition, is rough and contains many glaciers. It was often necessary to make three details of the camp out fit. The party reached the summit July 24. remaining on the slopes three days. Professor Parker and Mr. Browne will sail for Seattle Sunday. HEART WEAK, ETHER KILLS Jj. E. Hoover Expires at Medford as Hip Is About to Be Set. MEDFORD. Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) L. E.

The fare from Rock Point to Medford under the new South ern Pacific rate arrangement Is 55 cents. From Gold Hill to Medford it is 45 cents. From Rock Point to Gold Hill it Is five cents. It is not for Rock Pointers to reason why this should be. They are not given to puzzling over the mysteries of railroad rate-making. They simply pay their fare to Gold Hill, five cents, and then buy a ticket to Medford, 46 cents, making the trip for 50 cents, or five 'cents less' than they would be taxed if they Daid their fare direct from Rock Point to the Southern Ore gon metropolis.

EFFORT CHECKED BY REBUKE Subject of McNamara Pleas Banned in Conversation. LAST -WITNESS IS HEARD Arguments to Jury. Limited to Five) Days In All, to Be Begun Mon day and Case Will Reach Jury Xcxt Week. LOS ANGELES, Aug.. 9. (Special.) The feature of the closing day of the taking of testimony In the trial of Clarence S. Darrow today was the sharp contradiction by Judge Bordwell. who presided In the McNamara trial, of Lin coln Steffens' testimony that the writer had discussed with him In advance the proposal to settle the McNamara case "without loss of life." Steffens had taken credit to himself for the ending of the famous case. He testified that he had taken the subject up with the judge himself. Judge Bordwell made as plain as possible his assertion that he had not permitted Steffens to dis cuss this phaso of the subject with htm. Steffens testified he had won Bord well over to leniency. Bordwell said that while talking with Steffens on one occasion Steffens began to tell him of conversations with Gibbon and Llssner In regard to settling the McNamara case without loss of life. "Then," said Judge Bordwell. "I stopped him and told him that wasn't a proper question." This. Judge Bordwell asserted, was all that was said. Judge Bordwell persisted in this statement under cross-questioning by Earl Rogers, ot the defense. TaktnE of Ttestimony Ended. Taking of testimony ended in the Darrow case today. Mrs. Bert Frank lin, wife of the former McNamara de fense detective, who confessed to brib ing two Jurors, was the last witness called by the state in rebuttal and at the end of her direct examination the defense announced that there would .be no sur-rebuttal. "The people rest," said District At torney Fredericks. "The defendant rests," said Chief Counsel Earl Rogers," of the defense. It was agreed that arguments should be begun Monday and It was decided to allow each side two and a half days for argument. This agreement assures submission of the case to the jury not later than next Friday night. Pteffena' Version Contradicted. Judge Bordwell made It plain that his rebuke of the writer ended the effort to introduce the subject of the Mc Namara pleas into the conversation be tween them. "Did you meet Lincoln Steffens it the time of the McNamara trial?" askid District Attorney Fredericks. "I did," answered Judge Bordwell. "When did you first see Mr. Steffens prior to December of last year?" "On the Thursday before on Thanks giving." "How many times did you see Stef fens?" , , "About three times Thanksgiving, the day following and the following Pleas Not Discussed. "Did you ever discuss the pleas, of guilty of the McNamaras?"
