far Western .home to attend. -Senator
Dixon, of Montana, .chairman of the
Progressive National ' Committee, and
O. K. Davis, the National secretary, will
arrive Monday from Washington.
Colonel to Make. Speech.
Ex-United States Senator Beverldge.
of Indiana, who. served as chairman of
the Progressive National convention,
will make one of the leading addresses.
His speech at the National convention
was one of the noteworthy features of
that gathering. In his address at the
conference. Mr. Beveridge will present
his views on the course the party
should take in the future.
Colonel Roosevelt will make at least
one set speech, and he will participate
in the discussion at other times.
Sessions of the conference will be
held in the ballroom of the Hotel La
Salle. After preliminary discussion,
the task of drafting specific declara
tions on organization. educational
work, legislation and other subjects
will be delegated to committees, whose
reports may Invite further debate.
The executive committee of the Pro
gressive National Committee will meet
Mondav. (Jeorge W. Perkins.' of New
York, is chairman of this body. Other
members are Senator Dixon, Judge
I.indsey, of Colorado; John M. Parker,
of Louisiana: Meyer Llssner, of Cali
fornia; Medill McCormick, . Chauncey
Dewey and Miss Jane Addams, of Illi
nois. Illinois Conference Scheduled.
The Illinois state committee will
meet the Progressive members-elect of
the General Assembly tomorrow night
at the call of State Chairman Dewey.
Bills which will be introduced by
Progressives at Springfield will be dis
cussed. It is also probable that the
new party's legislators will talk over
Senate and House organization, inas
much as they hoid the balance of power
in both branches.
At the close of the National confer
ence the Progressive National commit
tee will m?et to effect a permanent
organization. Senator Dixon's term as
Senator expires in March and at that
time he will leave Washington for
his home in Montana. He would be
glad to relinquish the chairmanship to
someone who lives further East and is
in a position to keep in closer touch
with the activities of the party. It Is
expected, however, that Senator Dixon
will not refuse to continue as chairman
If the members of the National com
mittee Insist that he serve.
Medill McCormick. vice-chairman of
the National committee, nas been men
tioned as a possible successor to Sena
tor Dixon as chairman. Mr McCor
mick. however, says that he does not
want either the' chairmanship or the
vice-ch; irmanshlp.
There have been rumors that some
of the Progressives would seek the
elimination of George W. Perkins from
his pust of leadership in the party. It
does not appear likely that such action
will be taken. t is possible that Mr.
Perkins will decline to s?rve again as
chairman of the executive committee,
but the talk of expelling him from the
party has died out altogether.
The Progressives are making their
plans for future work on tne theory
that the Republican party cannot be
rehabilitated and that the rr-itests of
the future will be between the Pro
gressives and Democrats. Any one who
suggests a return to the Republican
party will be ejected promptly from
the conference.
VESSEL OFFERED WILSON
Taft Invites Successor to Make Visit
to Panama Canal.
WASHINGTON". Dec. S. President
Taft has written a letter to. Governor
Wilson offering to place at his dls
- poaal one of the big battleships of the
' Navy to make a trip of inspection to
: the Panama canal some time before
Mr. Wilson Is inaugurated. The Presi
dent has a thorough knowledge of the
work of the Army engineers on the
Isthmus himself through personal vis
its to the canal zone, and is of the
-opinion that his successor would like
to know as much as possible about the
great engineering feat before he en
ters office.-
Many questions of policy concerning
the canal may be looked for in Mr.
Wilson's Administration, and Mr. Taft
decided that It was only fair to the
man who takes his place In the White
House March 4 to offer him an oppor
tunity to inspect the canal and gather
Information at first hand.
The letter to Mr. Wilson was mailed
to his Bermuda address. No answer
had been received in the White House
tonight.
BEDFORD SEES ONLY DELAY
House of Lords M X'ot Be Able to
Alter Home Rule.
DUBLIN. Dec. 7. (Special.) The
Duke of Bedford, addressing 5000
Unionists at Luton, pointed out that
the House of Lords could not in any
way alter the Home Rule BUI. They
could only delay It for eight months.
Belief In the policy of delay was born
of the vain hope that something might
turn up- In the Interval to destroy the
bill. He did not regard the policy of
waiting helplessly for something to
turn up as statesmanship. It was a rot
ten policy.
The Prime Minister had no doubt that
the Government were going to make
the Home Rule Bill an act of Parlia
ment, so that the crisis could not be
avoided. Was it to be in September.
J!13. or' eisht' months after, in May,

Unionist party proclaiming that .'somc-

delay. Hw could any pal t raiiy
with devotion to that battle cry? -Something,
the Lord knows what, may turn
up in eight months.".
If the Unionists could not raise a bet
ter cry than that they had better go
i. . h.H and nnl d1 into action at
all.- The Parliament act had reduced

TAX ISSUE BOTHERS IRISH
Refusal lo Help With Revenue
Means Giving I'p Liquors.
DUBLIN, Dec. 7. (Special.) Sir John
Simon, the Solicitor-General, speaking
at Bristol, said the effect of the amend
ment which the Tory party was so
proud to carry was that while Ireland,
under the home rule bill, would have to
finance local services (which cost about
t20,000,000), England would, take all
the revenue which Ireland provided
(nearly $50,000,000) and only hand back
to Ireland $12,500,000.
Tariff reform arithmetic in Its wildest
moments never produced anything quite
so wild. The population of Ireland naa
dwindled; the taxes upon Irishmen had
Increased: until at last even the needs
of that small population could not be
met from the revenues of Ireland alone.
And that was the moment when the
great Unionist party proposed appar
ently with some hazy recollection of
the insurance act to pay back to Ire
land 8 cents for every 18 cents that
they took out of Irishmen's pockets!
Some Ulstermen had threatened to re
fuse to pay taxes under home rule.
How would this be done? More than
70 per cent of the taxation paid in Ire
land was indirect, consisting of duties
paid long before the article reached tne
consumer. The consumer could not
get out of paying the duty on whisky,
or stout, or tobacco, or tea, merely by
refusing to pay it; the only way to do
it was to refuse to buy the article, it
home rule were passed, would these Ul
stermen drink no liquid except water,
and abstain from all tobacco? They
had heard of a hunger strike: was there
to be a drink strike? If that was to be
the consequences of carrying home rule,
temperance reformers would have no
reason to complain!

tonight by James B. Forgan, president
of the First National Bank of Chicago,
In which city a committee of the clear

vision of the affairs of its members.
Lea-al restriction hampers tne worn
of the Government to such a degree

quotation given and 60 glasses were
raised high by 60 deaf people, who gath
ered from Vancouver, Salem and Port
land, Saturday night, in Hotel Multno
mah to hold a celebration in honor of Dr.
Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. first teach
er of the deaf in the United States, the
occasion being his birthday anniver
sary. This was the first banquet of its
kind ever held on the Pacific Coast, and
It is proposed to make it an annual
event.
A banquet of 10 courses was served
to the exclusively deaf people, who met
earlier in the evening In one of the
drawing-rooms of the hotel, and all
were Introduced to each other, many
never having met before.
-. Will Repair Statne.
The president. Olof Hanson, of the
National Association of the Deaf, of
Seattle, issued a 'call for all deaf to
assist In raising funds, on December
10, Gallaudet's birthday, to go toward
repairing the statue of Dr. Gallaudet,
erected on the site of the first school
for the deaf, in the United States, in
1817, at Hartford, Conn. This was built
more than 50 years ago by deaf persons
only, no one not a genuine deaf mite
was allowed to contribute, nor will any
but deaf be allowed to contribute to
the fund to be raised December 10.
Pledges toward this fund were made
last night, and will be collected on
that day.
During the evening, a telegram was
received from Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, son
of Dr. Gallaudet. of Hartford, Conn
sending greetings, and saying he was
with the deaf of Portland, in spirit.
This brought forth the greatest ap
plause of the evening.
B. Craven and Emory Vinson are the
only two boj-B from Oregon who
have graduated from the Gallaudet
College In Washington, D. C, built by
Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, now retired. He
was one of two sons of Dr. Thomas
Hopkins Gallaudet.
Founding of School' Explained.
In hia address, Mr., Divine explained
that Dr. Gallaudet was an Episcopal
minister, and one of his parishioners
had a daughter, Alice Cogswell, who
was left deaf by disease. Dr. Gallaudet
was appealed to for assistance, but deaf
persons in those days were treated in
the United States as feeble minded. He
became Interested and found that there
were many other deaf persons who
were not educated. Their parents were
ashamed of them and hid them. It was
thought to' be a disgrace to have a deaf
child. He gave up his work in the min
istry and went to England to see how
the deaf were treated there, but he re
ceived no welcome. He went to France,
where he was taken, in and welcomed
and he learned all they had to offer
there. .
He Induced a French deaf teacher,
d'Elepee to come to the United States
and start the first school for the deaf
In America, In Hartford, In 1817. It
was on this site that the statue was
built in memory of him, and It is to
repair this that a subscription is being
taken among the 89,000 deaf people in
the United States.
Founder's Son Takes Up Work.
The younger Gallaudet, a hearing
man, took up the work of his father
and succeeded in founding the college
In Washington which bears his name.
He taught there for many years, but
he was compelled to retire on account
of old age. So It was with real joy
and gratitude that the deaf tonight
gathered to do their benefactor honor,
and when his son sent them a tele
gram It touched their hearts.
The last number of the evening was
the singing in the sign language. "Auld
Lang Syne." by Mrs. J. F. Meagher,
while the other 59 deaf gathered and
clasped hands as the pretty vice-president
of the National association sang
with perfect poetry of motion the old
Scotch song -

DOGS DIE; GOOD LUCK GOES
Fate of Constantinople Connected
ol Constantinople
With Old- Supersltlton.
LONDON. Dee. 7. (Special.) Her
bert Vivian, in a recent lecture, alluded
to an extraodlnary superstition con
nected with the famous wild dogs of
Constantinople. These dogs were sup
posed by many to bring good luck to
the city, and. though a dog Is deemed
unclean by all good Moslems, they were
well treated by the populace.
But the powers that be one day re
moved the dogs to an island, where
they were allowed to die in awful tor
ture bv starvation, and with their dis
appearance has departed the good luck
of Constantinople. Certainly the Turks
have fallen upon evil times, but
whether the wild dogs have anything
to do with the fact is quite another
matter.
PRETENDER'S HOPE LESS
Russia Not to Allow Deposed Shah's
Brother to Incite Issue,
ODESSA. Dec. 7. (Special.) The
Russian adjutant attached to the per
sonal suite of the ex-Shah, says there
is no truth whatever in the reiterated
report that Salar-ed-Dow!eh. the half
brother of the deposed Monarch, is
strenuously endeavoring to pave an
easy way to tne muci ,j. ... ...... .
Salar-ed-Dowleh is himself a pre
tender to the Peacock throne, but his
latest armed venture is foredoomed to
failure, and for the one cogent reason
that. In case of need. Russia would in
tervent to prevent the consummation
of his ambitious project.
Russia honorably abides by the as
surance given that under no circum
stances would Mohammed All Sha's
restoration be permitted.
' The ex-Shah now leads a less se
cluded life than he did for many
months after his second expulsion from
Persia. He Is not. Infrequently, seen
abroad in his automobile, and he is a
more or less regular spectator at the
opera.
An official dispatch from Tabriz to
the Russian Viceroy in Tiflis states
that the Turkish troops and civil ad
ministrators have evacuated the west
ern districts of Urumiah. There are
now no Turkish forces on Persian ter
ritory, and the marauding Kurds, de
prived of Turkish protection, are also
retiring beyond their own border. The
numerous small Russian military out
posts in Urumiah remain.
LONE FIR REPORT MADE
CEMETERY ASSOCIATION HAS
$855 IN BANK NOW.
Work of Improvement Started In
March and Continued Till May,
Says Statement.
The executive committee of the Lone
Fir Cemetery Lot Owners' Association,
which took over the cemetery and un
dertook to improve It, has submitted
Its renort on the work that has been
done" during the year In beautifying
the grounds. The total amount re
ceived from all sources was $6589.44,
and the amount paid out was $5736.05,
leaving a balance of $855 in the bank
October 1, 1912. From the sale of lots
there has been received the further
sum of $277.50. making the total bal
ance $1132.89.' E. B. Williams,' Dr. a
E. Josephl and J. A. Strowbrldge were
the sub-committee from the executive
committee having charge of the im
provement of the grounds.
Work was started in March and con
tinued till May. during which the
cemetery was completely overhauled
and cleaned, brush being removed and
shrubbery and rose bushes rearranged.
Also a new waiting station constructed
at the south side of the cemetery at a
cost of $550, of which sum $150 was
paid by the Portland, Railway, Light &
Power Company. . Considerable work
and material were donated. ' Hedges,
unsightly fences and some copings and
other unsightly landmarks were re
moved by the committee and the road
ways scraped and cleaned and left In
good condition. These' roadways should
be graveled, and the asoclation hopes
to have this done next year. An en
trance was made upon the East Stark
street side, about the center of the
grounds, which has added materially to
the convenience of lot owners.
There was some complaints by some
lot owners as to the removal of un
sightly hedges and the like, but the
committee showed them the purpose
of the improvements and the objections
were withdrawn, and general satis
faction seemed to prevail. The execu
tive committee reports that there was
a liberal response on the part of lot
owners scattered widely. A fund to
maintain the cemetery is being col
lected through the sale of some lots
that have been made available through
the closing of some roadways that
were not needed.
The purpose of the association,
which is to preserve this pioneer ceme
tery from neglect, has been largely
carried out during the year as far as
funds would permit. Much remains to
be done, and will be undertaken dur
ing the' year.
The members of the executive com
mittee have given their time free and
none have been paid for work, except
the men who made the Improvements
in the cemetery.
REMEDIAL LAW IN SIGHT
France to Introduce Bill to Change
Oldi-Age Insurance Act Penalty.
PARIS, Dec. T-(SpeciaI.) At a
ministerial council, the Minister of
Labor, M. Bourgeois, was authorized
to introduce the long-promised bill
which is intended to remedy the situa
tion created by the decision of the
Court of Caseation that an emplorer of
labor cannot be prosecuted for not de-.
ducting from the wages of his em
ployes the amount of their contribu
tions under the compulsory old age
insurance act. The bill proposes that
an employer who has neglected to affix
stamps of the value of the compulsory
contribution shall be subject to a civil
penalty which may be imposed by the
Juge de Palx.
The penalty consists in Imposing up
on the employer the obligation to make
an additional payment to the pension
fund amounting to three per cent of
the compulsory contribution which
ought to have been paid. This penalty
will be inflicted In cases where, after
neglect to affix the insurance stamps
in the course of one year, the em
ployer's or the employee's contributions
have again not been paid In the course
of the following year. It Is understood
however, that the arrears and the pen
alty will be collected by means of a,
practically private summons irom tne
Prefect, as in the case of persons who
have neglected to pay their taxes.
ALLEN EXPLAINS FLIGHT
Hillsville Feudist Says He Wanted
Public Sentiment to Cool.
WYTHEVILLE, Va.. Dec. 8. Sidna
Allen, leader of the Hillsville gunmen,
testified today in his trial for the mur
der of Commonwealth Attorney Fos
ter in the Carrell County Courthouse
shooting. He denied having planned
the shooting and declared hat his
flight to Des Moines, where he u
captured, was to permit public seni--ment
to cool down, when he intended to
return and give himself up.
Eight other witnesses gave testimony
calculated to prove the theory that the
Aliens shot at the court officers in
self defense, thinking they were being
attacked.
Cameron Montgomery testified he
heard Deputy Clerk Quesenberry say
he had been prepared for the shooting
for six months, while Walter Webb, of
Pulaski stated he heard Clerk Goad
say he had drawn his revolver before
the first shot was fired.
This evidence was offered to support
the contention that the court officers
had prepared for trouble . with the
Aliens and that they and not Aliens
were responsible for the tragedy.
Only four more witnesses remain to
be examined. Argument in the case is
expected to begin Monday.

QUEUES QUALIFY VOTERS
Bill In China Demands Cutting Be
fore Ballot Is Allowed.
PEKIN. Dec. 7. (Special.) Quite a
heated discussion took place in the
National Council the other day on the
bill for compulsory queue cutting. The
second article of the bill provides that
those who wear queues are to be sus
pended from enjoying their public
rights.
In view of the approaching elections
for the National Assembly this would
have meant that a large number of
persons otherwise qualified to appear
upon the list of electors would have
been deprived of their right to vote.
As has been the case in many recent
bills, Mongolians and Tibetans were
to bo specially exempted from its oper
ation. The absurdity of making the
style of halrdiesslng a qualification for
the vote appears to have occurred to
many of the members of the Council,
but no definite decision had been ar
rived at when tho sitting came to an
end.
On the following day the President
Issued a mandate revoking the order of
the Shantung Tutuh, which deprived all
who wear queues of their civil rights,
but at the same time stating that it is
the duty of provincial officials to en
courage the people to discard their
queues and to adopt and enforce meas
ures according to circumstances.
