the character of the duty to be levied
upon intir and the extent to which
President Wilson will give the support
of the Administration to the coo

the uecesa that might attend efforts of
the President to reach an agreement
wltk Senate tariff leaders.
The tariff situation shifted to the

President Wilson tonight. At Ha con

been In every way satisfactory to the
members.
A sweeping canvass of the Senate has
been undertaken to determine Just how
far the Democratic members of thst

laid down by the President. The deci
sion to pot raw wool on the free list
and the threat of . free sugar have
stirred up the Democratlo forces of
the Senata to such an extent that mam.

President tonight soma Important
changes would have to be made In the

to have given the President a fairly ac

free wool and reduced sugar duties and
over the sweeping reductions In other
rates that have been determined upon
by the House committee on wsys and

Today's developments Include the

It appeared fairly certain here to

the duty should be entirely abolished
In three years, or thst there should be
a gradual reduction of 2S per rent a
year from the existing duty until It
had disappeared.
The Senata leader did not come to
any definite agreement wtth the Pre si -dent.
The result of their conference
will be laid before the full Democratic

OLD BAILEY IN UPROAR
Woman Convicted of Inciting Fol
lowers Declares She Will Begin
Hanger Strike at Once.
Release Is Probable.
LONDON', April 3. On the charge of
Inciting persons to commit damage,
Mrs. Emmallne Pankhurst. leader of
the militant suffragettes, was sentenced
today to serve three years in prison,
after the Jury had returned a verdict
of guilty in Old Bailey Sessions. Her
trial had lasted two days.
Scenes that followed the pronounce
ment of heavy sentence were such as
the Old Bailey never has witnessed
before. Mrs. Pankhurst declared that
she would begin a hunger strike at
once. She almost broke down when
the verdict was returned, and her
speech of protest was almost Inco
herent at times. She repeated her de
termination to come out of Jail soon,
"dead or alive." and continued:
"I don't want to commit suicide.
Life is very dear to all of us. But 1
want to see the women of this country
enfranchised. I want to live until that
has been done. I will take the des
perate . remedy other women have
taken."
Xilltaat Stirred to Fury
Meanwhile the sentence has aroused
British suffragettes to fury. One of
the militant leaders. In announcing the
Intentions of the suffragettes, went so
far as to say that even human life no
longer would be respected. ' In Lon
don, Glasgow and other plaoes through
out the country, enthusiastic meetings
were held tonight and every mention
of Mrs. Pankhurst brought forth loud
cheers.
Those who are to carry on the fight
during the leader's Incarceration,
which nobody believes will be for long,
breathed defiance to the government
and promised the fight would be waged
more furiously than ever. One of the
leaders, whoso name is suppressed,
gave out the following statement:
"Human life now is In peril, so we
have resolved no longer to respect It
and trouble of all sorts must be faced."
Threat Causes No Surprise.

the Panama-Pacific Exposition and a
committee of County Supervisors who
called upon him today that it would
be Impossible to make any appropria
tion for a California building at the
World's Fair in 1915.
Since the inception of the project at
San Francisco It has been taken for
granted that the state would have a
mammoth building, costing not less
than $1,00,000 In which to display the
products and resources of the several
counties. The site for such a structure
has been selected and tentative plans
prepared by the Exposition Company.
Early In the present session of the
Legislature Senator Thomas Finn, of
San Francisco, Introduced a bill to ap
propriate $1,000,000 for use oi the State
Exposition Commission In putting up
and furnishing the building.
Governor Johnson said emphatically
todr.y that the state could not afford
to spend one dollar.
When asked if the state could afford
half the amount named In the Finn
bill, the Governor replied again in the
negative. -

FEDERAL PLANT CRIPPLED
Stamped Envelope Printery at Day
. ton Suspends.
The printing plant at Dayton, O.,
which prints the return cards on
stamped envelopes for the Government
was so badly damaged by the flood
that It will be some- time before it re
sumes operations, and In the meantime
those, who wish to have stanped en
velopes bearing return cards must buy
the envelopes and then pay a printer
to have their names and addresses
placed on the corner.
The Government makes no charge for
printing the return card on stamped
envelopes In box lots, and takes the
stand that the presence ' of return
cards on letters lightens the work and
expense of handling Improperly ' ad
dressed or uncalled for mail to the ex
tent' that It actually pays to do the
work for nothing.
According to advices received from
Washington yesterday by Acting Post
master Shcllenbarger It will be some
time before orders can be filled for
stamped envelopes with return re
quests, and in the meantime the cir
cular sent out by the Postoffice De
partment suggests that the return cards
may be placed on stamped envelopes
by local printers, as the printers have
always contended should be done.

EAST 28TH STREET BACKED
C. M. Clark, of Traction Com
pany, Willing to Aid.
CLUB CONFERENCE IS HELD
L. Ml Lepper, President Foster, of
Reed College, Among Others, Pre
sent Situation to Head of Com
pany Interest Is Great.
Cross-town car lines and the entire
street railway situation on the East
Side were discussed for three hours
yesterday by G M. Clark, of the Port
land Railway. Light & Power Company,
at the rooms of the East Side Business
Men's Club, with representatives of this
club, the Greater East Side Club and
also of numerous other organizations.
President Foster, of the Reed Colics-,
represented that institution at the con
ference. Mr. Clark was introduced to all the
representatives, and he said at the out
set that he was willing and anxious to' -work
together with the clubs for th
upbuilding of Portland.
A large map prepared specially to
govern the talk was spread on the table,
showing the present car lines and Indi
cating where crosstown lines were
wanted and where some extensions
were considered necessary. For the
crosstown car line the map showed the
route on East Thirty-ninth street, be
tween Gladstone avenue and Sandy
boulevard. A. tentative line was shown
on East Twenty-eighth street, also on
East Gllsan, between East Twenty
eighth street and Sandy boulevard, and
On East Ankeny street, between East
Twenty-eighth street and the Laurcl
hurst Park.
150.000 Would Benefit.
L. M. Lepper, chairman of the trans
portation committee of the East Side
Business Men's Club, urged the con
struction of the crosstown line on East
Thirty-ninth street, and undertook to
show that It would serve, outside of the
Peninsula district, about 150.000 popu
lation, people who own homes built
near the line. Mr. Lepper pointed out
that to go from Rose City Park to the
Reed College on the Bouth, or to any
point In the southern portion of the
city, one must travel between 10 and 15
miles. By building this crosstown line
on East Thirty-ninth street It would re
lieve the situation greatly. He esti
mated that the traffic would pay at the
start. The line would touch Laurelhurst,
Sunnyslde and all the great residence
districts on the East Side.
C. K. Henry, )l. Allen Harrison, Dr. J.
H. Fenton. A. N. Searle, E. G. Welter '
and other representatives spoke for this
route and urged that it be built.
Mr. Clark was inclined to favor such
a line. If it were built, on East Twenty
eighth street.
Mr. Foster presented the need of car
service of Reed College and pointed out
that the campus, now made up of S6
acres, would soon develop Into a great
center, educational, conventional and
athletic, which would need street car
facilities.
Question of Revenue Raised
Mr. Clark raised the question of rev
enue from such crosstown car line on
East Thirty-ninth street. How many
people would use It if It were built?
How many would use it during the day?
These were some of the questions he
asked. Referring to the map, Mr. Clark
pointed out that most of the peoplo
would come down town anyway on the
carlines already built. He said that
the company Is looking Into the prob
able revenue that might be expected
from such line. He then pointed out
that the company had been spending
millions In Portluand for betterments,
mainly on the East Side, and declared
that he was deeply Interested In the
growth of Portland, and expressed
himself as willing to do everything
within his power to improve the serv
ice. Referring to the extensions made.
Mr. Clark said that seven miles had
been built the past year, but the in
come had not shown the Increase ex
pected from these extensions. He said
that such lines as the St. Johns and
Mount Scott had been operated at a
loss, and declared that there had been
an actual loss on the St. Johns line of
$45,000 last year.
"To get money for extensions, said
Mr. Clark, "I must be able to show that
It will pay on the Investment, or the
money will not be furnished. That Is
fair. None of you men would run a bust- -ness
at a loss, would you? I think not.
Now, we are going to look into all
these questions that have been, dis
cussed here today, and it will all come
out before the Railway Commission."
Dan Kellaher spoke briefly, pointing
out the need of the crosstown carllne,
and declared that unless the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company did
provide better service some other
means would be provided. C. K. Henry
presented the matter of a subway and
Mr. Clark said that he would look Into
the matter.
Estimates will be made of the prob-
