REPORT UP FOR REVIEW fetory of Rockefeller's Acquisition of 'Meeaba Iron Ore Reviewed. Rockefeller Declared to Have Paid 3Ierritts. WASHINGTON. Aug. 9. The Pro- gressive platform and Colonel Roose velt's trust views occupied the atten tion of the House Thursday In the elos ing hour of the first debate on the steel trust investigation. Representative Lafferty. of Oregon, Interpolated the Progressive platform into the .. debate, and Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts, a Republi can, pointed out what he considered inconsistencies in Mr. Roosevelt's po sition. "He believes in the Sherman antl trust law and in the regulation of trust?." said Mr. Gardner. "He is rid ing two horses going In opposite direc tions." . . . "Have you read the Colonel's speech T asked Mr. Lafferty. "Yes. and it is entirely different from the views he expressed in the Outlook In November. He does not make him self clear on anything. He is not clear on immigration, the tariff or anything else. Mauler Proposes Remedy. The absolute divorcement of the own ership of railroads and industrial or ganizations was declared by represent ative Stanley, of Kentucky, as the one preventive of such monopoly as he de scribed the United States Steel Corpor ation to be. His speech was a review of the re port recently submitted for the ma Jorlty of the committee. It was an elaborate excoriation of J. P. Morgan, John Rockefeller and others who have figured In financing the steel Industry. Mr. Stanley was frequently inter rupted and several of his assertions of facts were challenged by Kepresent atlve Gardner, of Massachusetts. Re publican, who prepared the minority report of the committee. The Republican rreviewed the story of John D. Rockefeller's acquisition of the Mesaba iron ore range. He told picturesquely of the manner in which Mr. Rockefeller's almoner. Rev. Dr. -Gates, conducted the negotiations with '"The Merrltt brothers, discoverers of the range. .He. asserted that $400,000 was the price Rockefeller paid for the prop erty, which he afterward sold for $80, 000.000 stock of the Steel Corporation. "Was not the statement of Leonidas Merrltt on the transaction with Rocke feller retracted?" asked Mr. Gardner. "It was." answered Mr. Stanley, ex plaining that Mr. Merrltt signed a re traction when a settlement was made with his brother for $400,000. Representative Gardner asked Mr. Stanely If this portion of the story of steel was not stricken from the report by the other majority members. Mr. Stanley said it was and that he told -It on the floor to make it public. "The gentleman should not convey the impression that It was not made public" said Mr. Gardner. "Every newspaper in the country printed it when the testimony was given." "Ob, the newspapers are printed today 'and lost tomorrow. I want to get it in the imperishable record," said Mr. Stanley. The Kentucky Representative traced the growth of the steel trust and de-' scribed how Andrew Carnegie had forced it -to, buy him out. by threats of competition. He said Carnegie was not afraid of Morgan or the Moore bank ing syndicate. . " Carnegie Xo Gambler. "Mr. Carnegie paid more attention to making steel billets than to Issuing bogus bonds." he said. "He was an iron master, not a stock broker and a high-class gambler." The holding company and the pro tective tariff were pointed to as the bulwarks of the steel trust's strength. The holding company was described as a "pernicious device" and the formation of the steel trust by Mr. Morgan was termed "a "scheme that exceeded the dream of the most avaricious scheme maker that ever lived." Representative Sterling, of Illinois, argued against the minority report of the committee, which favors a recog nition of trusts and looks to a Govern ment regulation of prices. Mr. Sterling declared this to be un American and unsound. He said price fixing had brought on the French revo lution and had been tried to Inevitable failure in England in the 14th century. He favored Federal Incorporation, he said, and expressed the opinion that the Government should regulate the trusts and prevent extortion by super vision of capitalization and by restric tion whenever a corporation approached the point of monopoly. RAIL LINE SALE RUMORED Southern.. Pacific Buys Willamette Falls Division, Says Report. OREGON CITY. Or.. Aug.'?. Spe cial.) It was reported in Oregon City last night that the , Southern Pacific had purchased the Willamette Falls division of the Portland Railway. Light & Power Co. as a link in its proposed electric route from Portland to Eugene. The report originated from the story a Southern Pacific, conductor told a resident of Oregon City. The conduc tor raid in official high up in Southern Pacific circles in Portland had told him of the deal. The Southern Pacific several months ago surveyed a route from Oswego to Salem for the proposed electric line and secured right of way through most of the territory on the west side of the river. STAGE FALLS;" TWO KILLED Ien Working: on School Hurled 75 Feet When Rope Breaks. SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 9. William Kelly. 29 years old, was killed almost instantly and Vincent Bloomer, aged 40. sustained injuries which caused his death a few hours later, when a swinging stage on which they were working on the new Franklin High School fell 75 feet to the ground today. A flaw in the rope supporting the platform was the cause of the accident. Both men were married. HOTEL "RUNNER'' IS FINED Country Boy. Misled and Stripped of Baggage, Aided by Police. Methods of hotel "runners" who way . lay strangers at the railroad stations '' ' ' ""' P and "sandbag" them Into entering the hotel vehicles, underwent scrutiny in Municipal Court yesterday in the case of H. Harris, runner for- the Foster Hotel, and accused of assault and bat tery upon Lloyd Cooper. "It is plain that this was a. shake down." said the court, in fining Har ris 120. Cooper, a youth, came here from Eugene, intending to proceed to the home of his uncle on the St. Johns line. He asked Harris where he could get a streetcar and was advised to go to Fifth and Washington streets. He was not told that he could board a car at the station and transfer. Then Harris invited him to ride in the hotel bus. which he said was free. Arriving at Fifth and Washington streets. Harris demanded 50 cents, as against the 5 cents charged by the streetcars. Cooper refused to pay and was hauled to the hotel at Second ana Davis streets, where his baggage was seized and In the scuffle a patch of skin was torn from his arm. The bag gage was taken in charge by the man ager of the hotel until reclaimed by the police. Two willing witnesses for the de fense testified that they were riding in the bus at the same time, and ad mitted that they did not pay 50 cents or any other amount. The back of the courtroom was full of men. in the same line of business as Harris, who fol lowed the trial with close attention. MILL BE FREED KliASKAXIXE HATCHERY HAS SIX-IXCH FRY. 700,000 Fish Will Be Liberated in August High Water Reduct-s Catch for Year's Spawn. Master Fish Warden Clanton reports that In the month of August 322,500 Chinook and 377,655 sllverslde salmon fry will be liberated from the Klas kanlne hatchery. The chinook fry are from four to six inches in length. Last month 543,4.10 trout fry were delivered by Mr. Clanton to tne game department of the Fish and Game Commission for distribution. Discussing the damage resulting from high water to racks in the Wil lamette River near the McKenzle. Mr. Clanton, in his report to the state commission, says: "Having made an Inspection of the racks across the Willamette near its confluence with the McKenzie River, I found quite a number of adult sal mon in evidence, but owing to the deep pool of water directly below the racks it was Impossible to make an estimate as to the approximate number. Therefore at this time I cannot fore cast with any Teasonable certainty the amount of spawn which we will be able to secure at this point. 'As previously reported, these racks were Installed early in May, but un precedented high water washed out the racks on two different occasions, there by allowing large numbers of salmon to escape. The washing out of the racks on the McKenzie.- however, will not entail much of a loss because, as a matter of precaution, the stream was racked 20 miles farther up, at tne hatchery, so that the salmon will be stopped there. On the Willamette, however, there Is no question but what large numbers got away, as It has been reported that salmon in large numbers have been seen on the headwaters of this river." The receipts from fines and licenses in July aggregated 13492.97.. with dis bursements amounting to $4476.68. BURNS SHOWS OLD FORM Former Heavyweight Champion Easily Defeats Rlckard. SASKATOON.

DIRECTORS ARE BLAMED Commissioner Walker Asserts That Investors In Continental Have Been Defrauded and Bor rowers Also Mulcted. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug.. 9. The Con tinental Building & Loan Association one of the oldest and largest on the Pacific Coast, has closed its doors. At a stormy session of the board of dlrec tors Thursday afternoon, John S. Walk er. State Building and Loan Commis sioner, served notice that he had found the association insolvent ana snouia take over Its affairs. Commissioner Walker said that the shortage would reach $318,000 and that It resulted from gross mismanagement extending back over a period of ten years and long known to the directors. In nartlcular he blamed William Cor- bin, secretary and general manager 01 the association. Men Are Prominent. Thai rllrectnra and officers of the as soclation are: .

Commissioner Walker made a state ment tonight which said: "Today I have. taken charge of the Continental Building & Loan Associa tion because -Expert Hassett s report shows it is insolvent, yet I would un hesitatingly have closed it anyhow af ter the receipt and verification of Has sett's report, because this report shows that investors have hot only been de frauded in the past, but this has con tinued up to the present time. "Today the accounts show, accord ing to the said report, that the bor rowers also were being mulcted and the amounts placed to their credit on re tainments are short more than $50,000. People have been 'fined out' without anjy authority of law; assets have been padded, liabilities have been concealed. Just what the amount of the shortage is I cannot now definitely say, on ac count of a difference of opinion as to the real estate owned by the associa tion. Hassett places the amount at more than $300,000 and he is, in my opinion, not far out of the way. "The members of the board of di rectors are responsible for these con ditions, I believe, only to the extent that they have lent their respective names to the association and have failed to keep posted as to what was going on."

Bessie de Vole Jacob Lidoffskl Barney Bernard BT LEONE CASS BAER. TWO maybe two and a half years ago the time is only of Impor tance to reckon the space of our learn ing to accept eagerly what once proved a bitter taste, Sophie Tucker, then a comparatively unknown disciple of the art of modern Terpsichore, came to pay us a little visit. We didn't like her brand of dance and in more print than Sophie could have purchased with ten weeks' salary her shortcomings in the effort were heralded all over the coun try. Last night in "Louisiana Lou" Sophie brought back to us the same dance. In the interim between her two visits Portland has had Gertrude Hoffman, that right-hand bower of the great sisterhood of undraped dancers, we have seen Apaches and every develop-, ment of the bear and turkey trots. Hence Sophie's ambles were a distinct relief. They weren't half as bad as most of the audience had hoped for and a great deal funnier than we de served. Sophie just laughed and roared and hollered In a I-told-you-so way that held no malice and has evidently mis laid forever the crown of martyrdom which she, in common with all fore runners of new cults and fads, must needs wear at first. , I wish some one had not beat me to it in referring to Barney Bernard as the "David Warneld of musical com edy." For that's exactly what he is, jn both manner and voice. The line of demarcation between Bernard and the usual run of comedians who attempt Hebrew, types is so strong it stands out like a wall. Bernard does not caricature nor assume nnlearnedly. He is most of fill things natural And de llghtfuly humorous. It was to be ex pected that his accent would be per fect, but more than that. Ills handling of the role took on the proportions of a big character study. The type of Hebrew Bernard gives is by Its very unexpectedness in a musical comedy all the more educational and entertaining and the first step In a right direction. Would that all musical comedies had flesh and blood characters. The thing about "Louisiana Lou" that hits you between the eyes Is the rip-bang and precision with which it goes off. There's melody and a plenty, not perky fancy tunes to whistle, but haunting, dreamy refrains that one hums softly under breath. Bernard has the best of these, a lively lilting song, "My Rose of the Ghetto." He sings it beautifully and the chorus, which he pantomimes, bending lovingly over a faded portrait, is exquisite in its pa thos and remarkably, effective. The only blot on an otherwise entirely ar tistic performance Is that as the last soft notes of the Ghetto rose song and Bernard's broken sobs are heard, the frolicsome Sophie comes in war bling in high and mocking tones, the identical air. True, Sophie's entrance is necessary then, in the story, but it seems almost like sacrilege that she should rag the melody of Bernard's song. There is a real dyed-in-the-wool plot, one with heart throbs and sentiment, and much, very, very much love. Every, one loves someone, all of which is con soling. - Q Novel and numerous are the dances. Costumes are changed with bewilder ing frequency. Sophie changes her clothes every time she gets a chance and we rejoiced accordingly, for each succeeding one is prettier. She has one song towards the finale, called "The Puritan Prance," which Is the raggedest rag ever, and the entire working force Join in the madcap revels. The end of the first scene is Mardi Gras in atmosphere, with the players pelting the audience with vari colored ribbons. Mortimer Weldon Is an eccentric dancer of grace and agility. He sings. too, in fact, besides Bernard's, his is the only male voice worth noting. Sophie coon shouts her songs, but there Is one sweet plaintive little voice, pos sessed by Bessie De Vole, who has the role "of "Louisiana Lou." Bessie is more than merely pretty, and so nim ble on her toes one thinks instinctively of the thistle down comparison. An other nice little girl Is Eleanor Henry, who can't sing, but pleasingly presents the waltz theme of the production, a sensuous melody "If Love Be Madness." Harry Hanlon gives a capable charac ter etching of an IriBh political boss from New Orleans. It is a dandy worth while attraction and will be given again tonight and tomorrow night, with a matinee to morrow afternoon. SPAIN . LOSING PATIENCE Unless Portugal Changes Arrogant Attitude, Trouhle May Ensue. SAN SEBASTIAN,-Aug. 10 (Special.) The attitude which has been adopted by certain Portuguese politicians and newspapers in regard to Spain Is be ginning to cause serious preoccupa tion in this country. Their language. which is characterized by extreme vio lence, may easily produce In Spam a result contrary to that which is In tended, and It would certainly not be good for either of the two countries if passions should be gfven a ioose rein, as lamentable Incidents, the con sequences of which nobody can pre dict, might be the outcome. However, some Portuguese politi cians have started a campaign against the Spanish monarchy, and are holding public and private meetings at which revolutionary opinions are expressed; The Portuguese press, which is the most violent and employs the most in jurious language of any in Europe, is stirring up passions Instead of calming them, and has gone so far in the bit ter terms which It utrers that unless a . change is made violent replies may be drawn from the Spanish press, and a state of feeling produced which will bring about fatal consequences. Portugal demands the impossible when she wishes Spain to guard the whole of the frontier, without guard ing It herself on her own side. Spain already exercises the greatest vigilance over the Portugese, interns them in the central provinces, and closely watches the ports, but she cannot place a po liceman at the back of every Portu guese, nor can she cover the whole ol the frontier. Portugal employs very few soldiers on her frontier, and con sequently It Is her own fault if Portu guese enter and leave at places where Spain cannot watch. The new diplomatists, wno were nearly all Improvised at the time of the revolution, have committed many serious ' mistakes, and their conduct has not always been perfectly correct. All this has caused the Spanish Gov ernment bitter disappointment. If Portugal does not change her con duct, and continues to commit the diplomatic errors which have been witnessed hitherto, the Spanish uov- ernment will find itself obliged to change its course of procedure. Manv Spaniards, including not a rew Republicans, believe that Spain can no loneer decorously endure the attitude of certain Portuguese diplomatists ana politicians, and this opinion Is extend ing to public opinion, it is Deiievea that Portugal will make a change in her attitude, but if this does not hap pen, and Portugal maintains her hab itual tone of diplomatic haughtiness, it is forseen that within a very brief Derlod of time a diplomatic conflict will occur which may easily nave tne most serious consequences.

Ed inn Ferrler. director of the Museum of Natural History, brought to the no- ce of the Academy ol sciences a se ies of researches among oysters made by M. Danton.

In less than ninety days the citizens of the State of Oregon will vote upon a public utility Act. This law provides for the employment of experts to look into all questions pertaining to public utili ties. Were this act in force, the application for a franchise in a community already provided with electric service would come up for thorough in vestigation by these experts. Does not sound business judgment suggest that we wait? No adequate plant, capable of meeting the de mands of the city of Portland, can be built short of two or three years. If action upon the light and power franchise now before the City Council is postponed for ninety days, it will not disturb or injure the applicants if their franchise is based upon necessity and merit. Particularly is this true when the interest charge, which must be paid by the public, may amount to $500,000 yearly. Is there any need for the propo sition to be rushed through before the people vote upon the public utility Act? Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. GOLF PLAY EXCITING JACK BCRXS MEETS F.

BAN PUT ON KISSING. TOO Paris Conductor Turns Couple to Stntlonmaster. PARIS. Aug. 10. (Special.) A great many things are forbidden in railway carriages in all countries. In Germany, of course, everything is "verboten everywhere. It appears that at least on a suburban line near Paris kissing is to be added to the rubric of things banned. A couple of sweethearts on the line between Paris and Pantin, having se cured an empty compartment, were making the best use of the short time of solitude before them, when a sour vlsaged ticket collector requested them, not too courteously, to try to behave themselves. The young man defended himself watmly: "I am behaving with perfect pro priety," he protested. "In kissing my fiancee. It Is not only my privilege and my pleasure, but my duty as well. I'll begin again tomorrow If I please."

Fifteen years ago a pastel by Latour was sold for $1000. It was sold to Baron Henri de Rothschild recently for Jl.200.000. Baron Henri de Rothschild, who is nat urally anxious for the preservation of his-pieture, Is having a good deal of trouble with it. The pastel resembles old port in two ways. It increases in value as it grows older, and it must not be shaken. For if you shake an old pastel the colors fall In dust. The motor omnibuses which pass Baron Henri de Rothschild's house have made him nervous. Not only does each grain of dust which they might shake from the Latour mean about $200, bu. the picture Is too beautiful to be shaken to bits. The Baron applied to the omnibus company and asked that the motor omnibuses should be sent round by another route. His request, although the offer of a consideration accompanied It, was refused. He has now, at a very small cost, hung the celebrated pastel from a nail embedded in India-rubber and little pneumatic cushions protect the picture from the slightest vibration. An Indian Legend.
