THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY. MARCH 8. 1913. PARLIAMENT AS T King Sends Members Home, to fleassemble Again, How- ; ever, Within 3 Days. HOME RULE IS UP AGAIN Obiiiiug Session Also' Will Have Woman Suffrage on Its Hands Once More Unionists to ? Abandon Food Tax. iONDON, March 7. The British Parliament was prorogued today for one of the shortest recesses In Its hls- tniry. It will reassemble Monday, March 10, for another of the busy ses sions for which the Liberal govern ment has become famous. ;The King's speech from the throne today was probably the briefest on record on such an occasion, merely ex pressing regret that the members of the two houses would .have only a nominal period of release from their labors. The last session was a long one, but almost every day was marked by a determined fight between the two front benches. In which the private member had little opportunity of doing any thing but vote. Bills Will Be HepaMed. 'The home rule bill, the Welsh dls-es- tabllshment bill, and a few minor measures to which the Lords refused assent, will have to be reintroduced and repassed. The government intends to introduce a T simple bill to do away with plural voting throughout the country, a bill to further Irish land purchase and a measure to reform the method of deal ing with the mentally deficient. The ever-present question of woman suf frage will have to be dealt with and there are the usual finance bill and the estimates for the various departments. It is hoped to get through by the middle of August. If this be accom plished, it will be the first time that the government has not had an Autumn session. for some years. Unionists Trying: to Reorsaalse. Meantime the Unionist party, which liaa been sadly divided over the ques tion of placing a customs tariff on food stuffs, is making a determined effort to pull itself together. Most of the lead ers and rank and file have fallen into line with the policy enunciated by An drew Bonar Law, of "throwing food taxes overboard" until the country has had an opportunity to pass on the question. Among the younger members of the party there Is a move to throw over the tariff reform altogether and, fol lowing somewhat the lines laid down by the Liberals, to undertake a policy of social reform. Land and education reform are mat ters with which the government has promised to deal. In fact there Is a possibility that an education bill may be Introduced this year. ROBBER DOES VANDAL ACT Home of James T, Barron on, Wasco Street, Roughly Entered. Vandalism rather than ethical burg lary apparently was the Intent of a "daylight"., burglar who entered the home of James T. Barron, 634 Wasco street, yesterday afternoon. From the use of his Jimmy viciously on a rear window to the shattering of mahog any and glass, furniture and fixtures throughout the house, the robber plied his craft more apparently with the In tention of destroying than stealing. China closets, chiffoniers, fine fabrics and articles suffered mercilessly. Ow ing to the absence of the Barron fam ily in California, the value of the burg lar's loot cannot be learned. In the silver chest, which he ransacked, only choice articles were taken, apparently. : While the robbery was done by day light, it was not discovered until 6:45 otclock last night, when Special Agent W. R. McDonald, of the Retail Mer chants' Protective Association, began making his usual rounds. He has been patrolling the district and watching the house while the Barron family has been away. Mr. Barron is president of the Thllnket Packing Company, with offices in the Yeon building. . The robber Is believed to be the same who has been operating viciously on the East Side for several weeks. MRS. LISTER KICKS BILL I Continued From First Page.) dporstep and then walked up and down the porch, much to the chagrin of Mrs. Lister. She appeared at the door once and told Maybury she would call the police if he did not leave. The bill was lying at her feet as she opened the door, and she kicked it away, declaring that she didn't want any papers lying around her porch. ' Maybury tried again to get her to take It, and she Informed him that she was not the Governor and would have nothing to do with the bill. ', Maybury left a few minutes later, with the bill still on the porch. A short time later Mrs. Lister appeared at the door In response to a call from newspaper men, and again kicked the bill away. She declared that she had been both ered by the "men with the bill," and If they returned again she was going to call the police and have them arrested for trespass. Thwart Veto I Aim. Maybury did not return and the bill remained on the porch where Mrs. Lis ter had kicked it and where it proba bly will remain until It is rescued by someone besides the Governor or his wife. The bill contains appropriations of more than 11,500.000 for state arterial highways, the money to- come from the public highway fund, for which a levy of J 1.500.000 a year was made in a bill passed a few days ago by the Leg islature, which bill is now in the hands of the tlovernor. . Unusual haste In passing it was oc casioned by the fact that the session lias but five working days after today and it was feared that if the bill failed to go to the Governor until tomorrow he could withhold his veto until the evening of the last day of the session, too late for its passage over his veto. By getting it to him today the sup porters ot the bill hoped to force him to act one way or the other before it is too late for 'the overriding of a veto. Records Broken. The contending factions of the Sen ate could not get together on the vari ous details of the appropriation ant!! this afternoon, at which time they CATION broke all records in getting the meas ure through to the House and to the Governor before closing time. In the middle or a discourse on an other bill before the Senate. Senator Nichols gained the floor and demanded that the road budget be brought np for final passage. His followers fell In line with him and forced the bill np. It was read by the clerk, a few amend ments made and passed. Impatiently waiting were Speaker Taylor, of the House, and Representative McCardle, chairman of the House committee on roads and bridges, who grabbed the bill from the hands of the clerk of the Senate as soon as it had been passed and rushed it into the House, where business was shoved aside, while It was being enacted there. It was 5:30 when it was rushed to the Oovemor's office. It was reported that the Governor had left town to dodge the issue. That report was believed until It waa learned definitely that the Governor was at his home. The forces are lined up strongly against the Governor on his road .pro gramme. Both houses have passed a bill providing for a levy of 11,500,00" for the public highway fund for 1913 and 11,000,000 each year thereafter. Both houses formerly passed a bill making a straight $1,500,000 annual levy, which was vetoed by the Gover nor. . The new measure is a compromise which both houses demand, shall be come law. While the Governor has made no public statement, It is believed that he intends to veto the bill as It stands. A veto of either the levy bill or the budget bill will kill the levy unless the veto is overridden. EVIL SEEN IN PENSIONS MAY ARKWKIGHT HCTTOX SAYS SYSTEM IS DAMAGING.. Spokane Woman. Declares That She Is Glad Governor Vetoed Oheney Normal Appropriation. - SPOKANE, March 7. (Special.) 'a am unalterably opposed to pensions. I believe that if, in the incipent stage of our pension system, the Government's donation to war veterans had been lim ited to those permanently incapaclated for the great battle of life, our pres ent standard of citizenship would be higher. "We need a practical vocational training law, which would enable our boys to learn how to do well the or dinary thfngs of life, and for which the employers of labor are willing to pay a competent wage; where our girls would be taught the 'homeyhome' tasks which bring happiness and contentment to the household. "The schools of the country have not kept pace with general progress. I am glad that Governor Lister had the courage and wisdom to veto the Cheney Normal appropriation." These are some of the observations of Mrs. .May Arkwright Hutton since her return to Spokane after a sojourn for several weeks at Olympia, where she took an active first-hand interest in Washington's Legislature. "There has been no legislation pro posed at this session so detrimental to the future citizenship of the state as this teachers' pension bill, In the pres ent form, which, as a law, would soon destroy the self-respect and future well-being of our youth," she continued. "I oppose the teachers' pension bill for the reason that it is class legisla tion. Teachers are no more entitled to state support than any other- class of citizens. The so-called educational system under which they operate does not train the youth, of the country for lives of general usefulness, therefore their labors, through a faulty system, being in a large degree barren of re sults, should bar them from special privileges." JAMES BAY BOXERS WIN Belmont Easy for Davies, but Powers of Portland Trounces Motherall. VICTORIA. B. C, March 7. (Spe cial.) Al Davies, Victoria bantam boxer, tonight in a tournament held in the Victoria Theater defeated Roy Belmont, of Portland, in the second round of a contest which was disap pointing because of the easy manner in which the James Bay star disposed of his opponent. The bout was the last of a ten- event card. Belmont started jabbing Davies with his left, occasionally driv ing his right to the stomach.

In the second round Davies pumped stiff uppercuts that finally lifted Bel mont off his pins and won the bout for the former. There were only three Portland bouts, Miebus, the heavyweight, not making his appearance. Of the three Victorians won two.

"Meanwhile the Liberal party Is plotting a violent recapture of power. The recent murder of Nazim Pasha, commander-in-chief of the army. Is the millstone round the necks of the Min isters, which yet will pull them down. The army commanders at the Tchatalja continually are asking Schefket when he intends to bring the, murderers to justice. He can only answer them: "After peace is concluded." Izzet Pasha, commander-in-chief at Tchatalja, reports that news of the re cent plot is causing unrest among the troops, and seditious agitation Is threatened. As a result of this many have been arrested and sent here.

M'NICHOLAS BREAKS JAIL (Continued From First Page.) about to close a mining deal in that city. , , . . McNichoIas' act of breaking jail is in keeping with the character assigned him by Postofflce Inspector E. C. Clements, of this city, who declared McNichoIas to be one of the shrewdest and most daring men with whom he had ever come in contact. McNichoIas and his brothers are well known In this city, where they grew up from childhood, as did also his wife. When hardly more than 21 years old, Jimmy launched out as a mining pro moter. He secured, in some way, a mine in Southern Oregon which panned out well, and he made for his stock holders a great deal of money in this venture. He was not so careful with subse quent ventures, and using the reputa tion he had acquired, he had little dif ficulty in disposing of his stocks. In Cleveland he opened pretentious of fices, where he did a thriving business and which led to his Indictment. It is said that in the vicinity of Cleveland he secured almost 31,000,000 for which be gave stock which afterwards proved to be practically of no value. While most of McNichoIas' "proper ties" were located in Oregon, he made an investment in one case in Northern Idaho. On this prospect he is said to have sunk over 3250,000 in putting in mine and mill apparatus. Mining men declare that the scheme was visionary and the property he undertook to de velop thoroughly worthless.
