WASHINGTON. April 4. The Demo

ed tonight, with the exception of a
final decision upon the sugar tariff.

ure modeled In accord with the Idea
or President Wilson, with wool, mall
and many ether foodstuffs and cloth-lug-
materials on the free list; with
low duties on all agricultural product
and foodstuffs that are not free, and
with the tariff on chemicals, steel and
other commercial products cut tar bo
low the present protective rates.
Senate Isadora Ask; for Ttsae.
The Senate tariff leaders asked to
day for an opportunity to study the bill
until Sunday afternoon. They then will
confer with Chairman Underwood, or
the House committee on ways and
means, and later will have a final con
ference with President Wilson. A care
ful analysis of the Senate will be made
In tt.e meantime to determine whether
free wool, "one-cent sugar" and low
rates on " market - basket " products
will prove acceptable to a majority of
tho Democrats.
Briefly summarized, the tariff devel
opments of the day were:
President Wilson's ultimatum to
eugar Interests that they must agree
to a tariff of one cent per pound for
three years, with free sugar after that
time, or ho would attempt to secure
free sugar at once.
Bill Virtually Completed.
The completion of the bill by the
ways and means committee, with the
exception of the sugar schedule. The
committee Is prepared to agree on free
sugar If the President Insists.
Income tax rates fixed at 1 per cent
for all corporation Incomes above 15000.
1 per rent on Individual Incomes from
Jt0'9 to f :.00. : per cent from $20,000
to $.... X per rent from too. 000 to
$:.. four per cent above 1100.000.
The President submitted his proposal
on the sugar tariff to Representative
Rrnursard. of Louisiana, early today.
Louisiana (Senators and Representatives
conferred and sounded out other mem
bers of the Senate to determine
whether enough strength could be se
cured to fight the tree-sugar features
of the plan. They had reached no de
cision tonight, however, ss to the
course they would take.
Early Aareeaaeat Twdlrated.
Notwithstanding the sugar contro
versy, events so shaped themselves to
day as to Indicate that the House, the
Senate and the President will come to
a definite and final agreement upon
the tariff bill before Monday, and that
the measure will be presented to the
House early next week aa an Adminis
tration measure, and with all the tariff
leaders behind It.
After a short meeting; of the Demo
cratic members of the finance commit
tee today. Senators Simmons. James
and Hushes called on Mr. Underwood
and discussed the wool, sugar and ag
ricultural tariffs. A demand from some
quarters In the Senate for an increase
in the agricultural duties, and a doubt
aa to the success of both free wool and
free sugar in the Senate, constitute the
problem over which the Senate leaders
will work tonight and tomorrow.

The House tariff makers have left
matters entirely la the bands ef the
President. Members of the Senate
finance committee today declared there
would be an ultimate agreement with
the President over all contested point

SNAKES 'CHARM' CANARIES
Reason for Supposed Malady Affect
ing Birds ia Park Discovered.
After weeks of Investigating by
Park Superintendent Mische and others
It has been decided that what was
thought to be a peculiar bird malady
among the 100 or more canaries In a
rage at the City Park. Is really a charm
held over the birds by a group of huge
rattlesnakes occupying a cage nearby
The snakes were moved next to the
bird cage several weeks ago and soon
afterward several of the birds began
to act as though dazed. Believing that
some new sort of bird disease had
spread among the canaries an Investi
gation was begun by Mr. Mische, who
Is an expert on birds. The malady was
new to him and he was at a loss to
know what to do until It was suggested
that the snakes might be the cause of
the trouble. Having heard of snakes
catching birds by charming them, he
removed the cage and the supposed
malady has disappeared.

The police believe that some of the
criminal acts attributed to the suffra

railway property, were the work of
men engaged by the women.
These attempts within the last 24
hours have included the planting of In
flammables and explosives under a seat

FATHER TRIES TO JAIL SON
Prosecutor's Office Then' Moves to
Keep Lad Ont of Prison.
The peculiar spectacle of a father
trying to send his son to the peniten
tiary and the District Attorney's office
interfering on the boy's behalf to have
lim from that fate was presented in
Circuit Judge Davis' court yesterday.
The case was against Delos H. Wat
son, aged 21, who was indicted by the
grand Jury last June, the witnesses
against him being his father, D. Har
ley Watson, a barber, of 1191 Everard
street, and his mother. The father
was in court yesterday when the young
man pleaded guilty.
'Here," interposed Deputy District
Attorney Maguire, "do you understand
that you are pleading; guilty to a fel
ony and are liable to be sent to the
penitentiary?"
Investigating further, Mr. Maguire
found that the crime charged against
the young man was the theft of eight
silver teaspoons from his parents. The
boy was not represented by counsel and
Mr. Maguire threw himself into the
breach.
"Do you mean to tell me that you
caused the indictment of your own boy
and would have sent the lad to the
penitentiary?" demanded Mr. Evans
of the elder Watson.
'Yes, I thought it was the only thing
to do. What would you have done?"
was the answer.
About a year ago young Watson was
discharged from the United States
Navy on account of defective eyesight.
He came back to Portland and took up
his residence with his parents. Some
of hi3 old shipmates came here on the
cruiser Maryland during the Rose Fes
tival, and, desiring to show them a
good time, he pawned the spoons.
LION PEDICURES CUT PRICE
Circus 3lan Would Perform Opera

Strong competition among lion
tamers of Portland is rapidly pulling
down the size of bids for the contract
to trim the toenails of Nero, the City
Park lion. The market value of the
service dropped yesterday from $10
to $50.
The first announcement by Park Su
perintendent Mische that the toenail
operation is necessary brought half a
dozen bids of ? 150 for the Job. The price
next dropped to $100, which was bid
by Ben Seigman, a sailor. Testerday
R. A. Mercer, of 41 Union avenue, put
In a bid of $99. which was low up to
noon, when Alfred Segfrit, who says
he is a former circus man, presented a
bid of i50. Superintendent Mische
says he is going to let the proposition
rest, in hope of getting the price down
even lower. So far there have been
about 20 applicants for the Job.

CHAPMAN MAKES REPORT
Operations of Past Reviewed and
Preparation Bcinjt Made to Cure
for European Immigrants Ex
pected With Canal Opening.
Plans for continuation of the state
wide promotion work, on a scale even
greater than in the past, which call
for the expenditure of $150,000 in the
next, three years and the development
of fields of promotion work that have
been hitherto touched only lightly
were laid at a meeting of the executive
committee of the Portland Commercial
Club in the green-room of the club
yesterday for the purpose of organiz
ing for the coming year's work.
G. F. Johnson was unanimously re
elected chairman of the committee and
Theodore B. Wilcox was elected chair
man of a special committee of finance
which will consist of five members.
Mr. Johnson will appoint this commit
tee today.
Co-operation With State Urged.
Foreign immigration and the need
of attracting to Oregon people of tho
right type Irom Europe, who will set
tle upon the soil and help in upbuild
ing the state, was emphasized by Mr.
Wilcox. Referring to the appropria
tion of $25,000 made by the state to
be used in Immigration promotion and
largely in attraction of proper foreign
immigration to Oregon, Mr. . Wilcox
urged that tho promotion department
of tlio Portland Commercial Club
should co-operate with the state and
sl ouli supplement its work. He de
clared that, if this were to be done, he
would willingly, if necessary, double
his contribution to the funds which the
Commercial Club Is to raise for the
promotion work.
Optimism and recognition of the im
portance of well-systematized promo
tion work was expressed by every
member of the committee.
Country Growth Desired.
The policy of the committee," said
Mr. Johnson yesterday after the meet
ing, "is as it has been during the past
several years, a. policy of activity alonr
lines of statewide development, seek
ing to upbuild the country rather than
the City of Portland, as upbuilding ot
this territory means automatically a
corresponding growth in Portland.
Portland has always presented her
self to me as a city of opportunities
unequalled in the West and of oppor
tunities that will not diminish, but
unfold and increase with the growth
of the great empire that lies tribu
tary. The settlement of Oregon lands
with people who will bring them to
their best state of efficient productive
ness means a widespread condition of
prosperity that will steadily grow
greater."
C. C. Chapman Files Report.
Those who were present at the meet
ing of the executive committee yester
day were: G. F. Johnson, T. B. Wilcox,
H. L. Pittock, C. C. Chapman, E. L.
Thompson. Edgar B. Piper, C. S. Jack
son, G. W. Talbott, A. L. Mills, W. E.
Coman, Tom Richardson and B. S.
Josselyn.
C. C. Chapman, manager of the pro
motion bureau, filed with the chairman
ct the committee a report of the activl.
ties of the past year, with recommends,
tions for the coming years. Emphasis
was laid in this report upon the need
of greater agricultural development.
Hope ot Manufacturing Seen.
"The principal need of the Oregon
country is a larger productive popula
tion to help bear the burdens of devel
opment in the Pacific Northwest," said
Mr. Chapman in his report. "This coun
try is sparsely populated and yet Is es
tablishing and supporting educational
and other public institutions, building
good roads, paying for city Improve
ments and creating manufacturing in
dustries on a scale and of a character
commensurate with the desires and
needs of the spirited people who have
come here to live.
"With a greater agricultural popula
tion utilizing our vast natural re
sources, and annually creating hun
dreds of millions of dollars more wealth
than now is produced, there will be
such an enhancement of taxable values
and such a flourishing condition of gen
eral business that fondest hopes may
be realized In the development of our
manufactures, our transportation fa
cilities, our latent power and mineral
resources, and the improvement of liv
ing conditions for rural and city popu
lation. Need ot Co-operation Emphasized.
"It is only through a commercial or
ganization such as the committee of
which you are the head, working co
ordinately with the Commercial Club
itself, the Oregon Development League,
the State Immigration Commission and
affiliated development bodies of our
neighboring states of Washington and
Idaho, that this vast work can be han
