OPERATION BARES SECRET
I.os Angeles "Bachelor's" Friends
Kind Wife at Bedside.
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 27. (Special.)
The removal of an appendix at the
California hospital has been the
unusual means of revealing the mar
riage of Harry S. Rowan, of the Los
Angeles Gas & Electric Corporation,
who has been a benedict for' eight
months and not the confirmed bachelor
his friends supposed him.
It develops that Rowan slipped away
last December and acquired as a wife
Miss Clara Magda Kipp. daughter of a
distinguished New York sculptor, and
kept the wedding secret. When friends
went to visit him at the hospital they
usually found a very pretty young
woman present, whom Rowan at last
introduced as Mrs. Rowan. Mrs. Ro
wan left today for San Mateo, where
she is preparing a country home for
her husband, who will be able to travel
in another day or two. After his con
valescence he will return with his
bride to this city.

Bottled Beer.
ALBANY, Or.. Aug. 27. (Special.)
Prying up some boards in the floor of
the livery barn of AI, Peacock in this
city today. Chief of Police Daughtry
unearthed about ten doxen bottles of
beer and destroyed them. This is the
12th time officers have raided Pea
cock's barn since the Carrie Nation
plan of dealing with alleged blind pigs
in this city was adopted about three
weeks ago. One day they raided the
barn five times and found some liquor
each time.
When Daughtry walked Into the
barn today he saw a man who had been
drinking out of a bottle throw it out
of a window. He went to get it and on
returning saw a bottle under the floor.
Surmising that some beer was stored
there, he pried up some boards with a
crowbar and unearthed the source of
supplies, which he' destroyed.

KNOX STATEMENT DENIED
Colonel Might Have Said Something
About Keeping Record Straight,
but letters Were Xot for
. That Sole Purpose.
OYSTER BAY. N. Y.. Aug. 27. Celo
nel Roosevelt desires to bring the
names of Alton B. Parker, Democratic
nominee for the Presidency in 1904,
and James Sherman. Vice-President of
the United States, into the inquiry into
campaign contributions authorized yes
terday by the Senate by the adoption
of the Penrose resolution. He said
today that he would place their names
before the Senate committee in his let
ter to Senator Clapp.
I shall Include in my letter to Sen
ator Clanp," the Colonel said, the let
ter which I wrote to Judge Parker in
1904. and my letter to Mr. Sherman
on the Harrlman contribution. I think
they are pertinent to the inquiry and I
want to get them in the record.
Knox'a Statement Challenged.
The letter to Judge Parker was in
reply to Judge Parker's charge that
Roosevelt's 1904 campaign fund had
been enriched 1100.000 by the Standard
Oil Company's contribution. The let
ter to Mr. Sherman gave the Roose
velt version of the Harriman-Roose
velt controversy over a contribution by
the late E. H. Harrlman of 1260,000 to
the 1904 campaign fund.
Nor will Colonel Roosevelt allow to
go unchallenged the alleged assertion
of Philander C. Knox, now Secretary
of State, who said he heard the Colo-
nel. in 1904, dictating a letter to
George B. Cortelyou about the alleged
Standard OU contribution, and told him
that the money had been spent and
could not be returned, and that Colo
nel Roosevelt remarked that the let
ter was being "written for the record.
"Mr. Knox may have heard me 8ay
these letters V will put the record
straight' or this will establish a rec
ord of my attitude,' but it Is certainly
ot to be inferred from this remarK
I don't sav that I did make it. Vat I
may have) that they were written
solely for the record," said the Colo
nel. "They are genuine letters and ex
pressed just what I wanted to express
whfen I first heard of the report that
the Standard OH had contributed or
wanted to contribute to my campaign."
Hearst Statement Causes Wonder.
William Randolph Hearst's state
ment in London Sunday finds Colonel
Roosevelt still wondering, he said,
what letters Mr. Hearst has to make
public on the alleged Standard Oil cam
paign contributions.
"If Mr. Hearst will let me know
within a year or a year and a half of
the date these letters were written ana
to whom they were written." Colonel
Roosevelt said today, "I will make
them oublic myself. Any one can read
ily appreciate how difficult it would
be for me to go through my entire) cor
respondence for a number of years to
find a letter in which I referred to
this matter. It would be a tremendous
undertaking. I don't think. I ever
wrote Mr. Sibley on this matter, al
though I may have done so. I can't
find anv letter to him." .
Colonel Roosevelt said he hoped to
finish his letter to Senator Clapp be
fore he departed at midnight tomorrow
on his three-day campaign trip through
Vermont. He had been delayed, he
said, by his failure to receive a copy
of John D. Achbold's testimony before
the Senate committee. This testimony,
he added, had been mailed to him. The
letter will be made public by Colonel
Roosevelt, probably at an hour shortly
after it should be received ty senator
Clapp.
Venn out Tour Outlined.
Plans for Colonel Roosevelt's tour
through Vermont were completed to
day. The Colonel will take a train from
New York at 12:25 Thursday morning.
During the last half of the week he
expects to make one of the hardest
fights of the campaign.. Although he
is to cover most of the country at the
rate of a state a day, he set aside tjiree
days for Vermont, owing to the im
portance which is traditionally at
tached to the outcome of the Vermont
election as a political barometer.
The Roosevelt Progressive ticket in
New York state will be named without
any suggestions from Colonel Roose
velt, he said tonight.
LOWER TARIFF TO COME

control of the Senate, there will be a
special session of Congress next Sum
mer, and before its adjournment the
country will see a general revision of
the tariff, including all the schedules
deaK with during the past session
and many that were not touched. On
the other hand, if the pendulum
swings in the other direction and the
Republicans regain full control of the
Government, revision of at let two
schedules will be assured, and fu
ther revision will be" undertakon i
soon as the tariff board can be r
organized and report. But a Re;utl:
can victory probably would not resul
In another special session, uuless
should be deemed essential to provide
for a new tariff board, so that other
than the wool and cotton schedules
could be revised within . the ensuing
two years. The revision of those two
schedules probably would be postponed
to the regular session following the
election.
Taft Men Have Answer Ready.
It will be found in the campaign
this Fall that President Taft w:ll
be condemned for his veto of the tariff
bills passed by Congress this Summer
on the ground that his refusal to sign
those measures has left business in an
unsettled condition, with future re
vision threatened and virtually as
sured. It will be maintained by Dem
ocratlc campaigners that if the Presi
dent had approved the wool bill, the
steel bill, the chemical and other bills
agreed upon by Congress, that the in
dustries affected by those particular
tariff schedules would have beep able
to adjust themselves to the Ci.angts
in rates, arid proceed undisturbed, for
a period of years, whereas now, w'th
the revision bills vetoed, th.y ere
facing an uncertainty and will sustain
losses in consequence of the' disturb
ance.
But the Taft campaigners are pre
pared for such an assault: they have
their answer ready. And it will be
along this line: If President Taft had
signed the wool bill or the steel bill
or any of the other tariff bills which
the Senate and House were able to
agree upon, there would have bsen the
same uncertainty as to the future as
exists today. None of the tariff bills
agreed upon at the recent session were
satisfactory to' the Democrats. None
of the bills sent to the President rep
resented the views of the Democratic
party, ts expressed through the Dem
ocratic House; all were compromise
bills, carrying rates in excess of those
which the House deemed proper. Ther
fore. It the President had approved
these compromise bills, the Democratic
party, in the event of complete vie-
tory In November, would again revise
these schedules when It came into full
power, and the Industries affected
would have had to go through two re
visions. Instead of one.
Mingle Revision Made to Suffice.
On the other hand, a Republican vic
tory in November would result in fur
ther revision of these same schedules,
for the bills as sent to the White
House did not conform to the findings
of the tariff board, or the views of Re
publicans generally. By vetoing these
compromise bills, the President has
mad necessary a single revision.
where two revisions would have re
suited had he a. proved the bills sub
mitted to him.
Some of the boct sugar interests of
th West have been particularly criti
cal because of the failure to revise the
sugar schedule, but there is one in
stance where the blame cannot ne at
tached to the President. The two liousos
of Congress were utterly deadlocked
on that question, the House standing
out for free sugar, while the Senate,
because of the presence of several
Democratic sugar protectionists, would
make no reductions lower than pro
posd In the Lodge-Brlstow" dill. The-e
was no compromise on tne suarar scnea-
ule e.nd it was never submitted to the
President for approval, although it is
quite probable he would have vetoed
that till as well, had it bes.i submit
tal to him, inasmuch as the tariff
board has not reported on sugar.
The way for tariff revision wt.'l not
be smooth unless one party or the
other gains full control of t.lw Govern
ment at the November election. An
other mixture such as now exists
would only retard revision, bat a com
plete victory for one party or the
other will surely result in a revision
and a reduction of duties by tne next
Congress. .
ECONOMY PLAN BLOCKED

TIOX OX BOABjD.
Leaders Stoutly Disagree With Brit
ish Budget System, as Favored
by .Commission. '
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. President
Taft's economy commission, it was dis
covered today, was ruthlessly trimmed
by the Democratic House and by the
Senate in the sundry civil appropria
tion and the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bills.
In addition to limiting the powers of
the commission to matters of transact
ing the public business of the Govern
ment "only in the several executive
departments." the sundry civil bill re
duces the salaries of its members.
In the legislative bill a paragraph,
slipped in at the last moment, pro
vides that regular annual estimates of
appropriations and expenses of the
Government shall be prepared and sub
mitted to Congress by those charged
with the duty of such preparation and
submission only in the form as at the
time are required by law and in no
other form and at no other time.
The commission has been in favor of
the British "budget system, ..which
House leaders declared highly incom
patible with the manner in which the
United States Government, was op
erated. President Taft has indorsed the
commission and the House quietly
seized the opportunity of blocking the
commission from further interference

Democratic Majority Called
"Stingy and Silly."
ECONOMY BOASTS UNKEP
Forecast That Session Would Last
Longer and Do Less Than Any
Other in Recent Years Is
Proved, Says Leader.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. "Ineffl
clent, disorganized, unprogressive and
Inaotive" were words used today to
describe the work of the Democratic
House by Congressman James R. Mann,
Republican leader, in a declaration "re
viewing the accomplishments of the
lower chamber of the Sixty-second Con
gressMann characterized some of the
Democratic majority's work as stingy
and silly, and other of its acts as pure
extravagance.
"The boast about economy weni by
the board," said the minority leader.
"The main work in the House on the
Democratic side has been a constant
boasting of what they were going to
do at the next session.
Results of Little Importance.
"I said last December this session
of Congress would last longer and do
less than any other regular session of
recent years. My forecast proved cor
rect. This session of Congress has en
acted laws fewer in number and of less
importance than any session of recent
years. The laws passed are, in the
main, of little importance and general
ly local in character. The Fanama
Canal bill is the one of greatest im
portance, and in the main that was a
bill prepared by me in a prior Con
gress.
"The claimed reformation of the
rules has proved a farce. That the
House has been inefficient is shown by
the fact that over 200 Senate bills
which passed the Senate remain un
acted on in the House.
Publicity Law Not Passed.
"It is a constant boast that the Dem
ocrats at this session passed a law
providing for publicity of campaign
contributions. Such Is not the fact.
They only passed an amendment to
the law which had previously been
passed by a Republican House, and
the principal part Is one relating to
primary campaign expenses that was
Inserted In the law by the Republicans
against the protest of the Democratic
side. Somewhat similar is the bill re
lating to eight-hour labor, which is
only an amendment of a previous law
and only made a slight change in the
provisions of the original act.
rracticauy an tne laws oi any im
portance passed at this session were
either bills prepared in a previous Con'
gress and left over for lack of time to
consider, or else they were bills pre
pared by officials In President Taft's
administration.
Parcel Post Issue Forced.
Mr. Mann referred to the public
health laws, the homestead laws, the
bill creating a children's bureau and
others as being within that classifica
tion.
"The Democrats were forced to agree
to a parcel post, which only a short
time ago they insisted they would not
agree to, continued Mann. They are
entitled to no credit for it.
'Outside of money expended for the
Panama Canal, which cannot be con
sidered as ordinary expenses, the ap
propriations for this session of Con
gress exceed those of the last Repub
lican session.
Not only is this so, but the Demo
crats have appropriated money in many
places where it was pure extravagance
and where the money was not needed,
and have refused to make appropria
tions where they are absolutely essen
tial for the conduct of -good govern
ment"

Don't Blame Your
Overworked Stomach
When your stomach will not digest
food, the worst thing you can do is to
take a lot of digestive medicines.
True, they give temporary relief, but
your stomach is the sufferer. Loss of
appetite, indigestion, dyspepsia and
headache can only be permanently re
lieved by removing the cause. In many
cases, various remedies taken to re
lieve these conditions result in ruin
ing tne stomach and preventing it
from digesting food in a natural way.
If you want your stomach to do its
own work properly, without resorting
to artificial digestives or predigested
foods, use Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge.
Take small doses regularly, preferably
before meals. In a little time your
stomach -will again do its own work
and you will eat heartily, keep well
and enjoy living. Jayne's Tonic Vermi
fuge is not a digester in itself, but it
tones up the stomach and intestines,
giving you all the nutriment and
strength from the food you eat. .
Many forms of supposed indigestion
are the' result of intestinal parasites.
for which Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is
unsurpassed. Insist on Jayne's: ac

it for more than eighty years. Sold

when they sold lumber to unethical
dealers in the Middle West.
J. H. Hewitt, who formerly conducted
the Tyee Lumber Company in this city,
testified that in 1908 he had sold to a
mail order house at Davenport, la., but
promised Secretary W. G. Hollls, of the
Northwestern Lumbermen's Association,
and Piatt B. Walker, manager of the
Mississippi Valley Lumberman, that he
would cease supplying that class of
trade, as he did not want to injure the
ethical retailers.
Mr. Hewitt said that he would have
sold to the mall order houses, but he
hesitated to Incur the ill-will of the
retailers through the lumber associa
tion and the trade journals .
Letter Read In Court.
In this connection a letter dated
March 27, 1909. from Frank Anson, a
lumberman of Muscatine, la,, to D. H.
Cale, secretary of the Tyee Lumber
Company, was produced in which An
son said: "I see you are blacklisted
for selling the Gordon VanTyne Com
pany, of Davenport." .
In reply Mr. Cale wrote:
"It is not our intention to sell any
such people as the Gordon VanTyne
Company. We regret we have been
blacklisted, and do not think, it fair,
inasmuch as it is not our disposition
to do any Injustice to the retailers,
We have explained our position fully,
and expect to be taken off the blacklist
if the association is at all inclined to
be fair."
S. L. Johnson, formerly connected
with the Grays Harbor Commercial
Company, testified that in 1909 his com
pany had sold much lumber to a firm
In Muscatine, la., but decided to quit
supplying them when it developed the
dealer was considered unethical. Be
fore the Grays Harbor Commercial
Company's contract with the Musca
tine dealer was completed, the name of
the Grays Harbor company was pub
lished in the "scout," a Detroit trade
Journal, as among manufacturers sell
ing to mall order concerns.
Correspondence la Identified.
Mr. Johnson Identified much corre
spondence that passed between him and
officers of the association. In one let
ter he said he did not Intend to give
in to the retail trade because of the
arbitrary action of Secretary W. G.
Hollls In publishing his company's
name In the Scout, without giving him
a chance to explain matters. t
On cross-examination Mr. Johnson
said he thought the Mississippi Valley
Lumberman, one of the defendants, was
acting In the best Interests of the lum
ber trade generally in opposing the sale
of lumber by manufacturers to mall
order houses and to the consumer
direct.

Auto Accident at Wallowa.
WALLOWA, Or Aug. 27. (Special.)
A peculiar auto accident occurred
near Wallowa yesterday when F D.
Halsten. of La Grande, ran his ma-
hine on a stump. As the machine hit
there was a noise like an explosion.
The floor of the car was raised up
about three inches, the covering of
the engine was thrown entirely off the
car and the windshield was smashed
into a thousand pieces. The car had
to be hauled in for repairs. Mr. Halsten
and a party of Wallowa people were
ut grouse hunting. They were on a
mountain trail, the center of which
as grown up in weeds and only the
wheel tracks were visible. The acci-
ent happened as they were returning.
In going up the machine missed the
