OSTERHAUS RETIRES TODAY Question of Promotion of Potts and Andrews Raised Again. WASHINGTON. June 13. Rear Ad- Senator Cummins went on to ask If tho railroad and banking mtereata in New York did. not employ men to "do the very thing" that he had been doing "to create a public opinion that shall be of a certain kind. "I have heard it so stated, " said Mr. Palmer. Wilson Managers Accused. "'Can you give the committee the names of these people, so that we can get them here and have a round-up of the whole business of trying to color public opinion in this way?" "From my general Information I don't think you would have enough space in this room for all of them, if we could get them all together, but I have no personal Information as to who the men are." "Is It general knowledge that any quantity of large interests are doing that thing?" Senator Cummins asked. "We never would have thought of it had it not been tbat others were doing took him over the ground about the printing of "Sugar at a Glance" as a publio document. He showed him the original charts that hung in the Sen ate chamber when Mr. Lodge made his sugar speech that subsequently ap peared in that pamphlet, and Mr. Pal mer again agreed that he had made changes in some of the charts, left out some that had appeared in the Senate and modified, the form of others. When Senator Reed, continued to press him he grew indignant. "You seem to think that because I represent the beet sugar industry I am a liar." he said. "You seem to be seeking to disclose some 'skulduggery.' I say there isn't a line on those charts that wasn't there when they came from the public printer." Senator Reed and Senator Nelson came near another clash during the ex amination, when tho Minnesota Senator thought Mr. Palmer had talked long enough about "Sugar at a Glance." "You are not trying a criminal case nere. said, senator Nelson, turning to Senator Reed. "We don't need such minutiae." Gmlllncera Intimation Broad. Senator Gallinger's intimation in volving President Wilson came pear the close of his examination and caused a deep sensation. He was about to leave the stand. When Senator Reed asked him a question that detained him. When a man says that he would 'hang some one as high as Haman If that person did not do certain things said Senator Galllnger. "and that an industry which proposed reduction of wages and did so would be invest! gated. I think that Is about the worst kind of influence I can Imagine." "What do you think of a public of ficial that gets up a scare about an in sidious lobby?" asked Senator Nelson. "That he intends to Influence public opinion and the opinion of public men," returned Senator Galllnger. "Would you regard it as a species of lobby?" "From my own inability to define the term to my own satisfaction, per haps I would not like to say It was a species of lobby influence." "It was an intimation that men are afraid to use their own judgment lest the people suspect them of lobbying?" persisted Senator Nelson. "It so impressed me," replied Sen ator Galllnger. Senator Reed tried to draw the line between the President acting in behalf of the people who elected him and pri vate Interests conducting a campaign for selfish ends. Innovation Grieves Senator. "I am an old-fashioned person," re plied Senator Galllnger. "I still believe in the three co-ordinate branches of the Government, and it grieves me to see the executive encroaching on the powers of the others and attempting to Influence legislation." "The sugar men were represented, said Senator Reed. "Don't you think the President had a right to use his influence?" "The President has a right to make his statement in messages to Con gress." "You do not want to charge that the President of the United States has ("brought any kind of coercion to bear upon any members of Congress?" "I would not undertake to do so. I have no disposition to criticise him un fairly." Galllnger added that he did know that many Democrats were complain ing because more offices were not filled and more nominations not sent to ths Senate. Tou don't mean to intimate that the President Is holding up certain ap pointments to compel them to vote for legislation they do not desire?" "I make no charge."

After six weeks of delay President Wilson today noml nated Milt A. Miller to be Collector of Internal Revenue for Oregon. The de lay in making this appointment is said to have been due to congestion in the Treasury Department, but by a coin cldence the nomination comes only i day or two after the Democrat leaders of the Senate assured the President that all Western Democrats, with the pos sibie exception of v alsh, of Montana, will vote for the tariff bill as ratified by the Democratic caucus. Miller was Senator Chamberlain's principal appointee on the Oregon slate and. by coincidence or otherwise. Miller was not nominated as long as there was doubt In the minds of the party leaders as to how Chamberlain would vote on the tariff bill. Other nominations made today were: Minister to Cuba. William E. Gon zales, of South Carolina; Minister to Nicaragua, Benjamin Ij. Jefferson, of Colorado; Minister to Costa Rica Ed ward J. Hale, of North Carolina; As sistant Treasurer of the United States at St. Louis. Willard D. Vandiver. Register of the Land Office at Douer- las. Wyo., Dade H. Fowler.

Milton A. Miller is a well-known Ore. gon Democrat, whose home is, at Leb anon. He is a member of the State senate ana has been for a number of terms.

The salary is $4500 a year. PENDLETON SHOW SUCCESS Exhibition of Roses Will Become an Annual Attraction. Bankers Accused or Seeking to Ob tain Issue of Currency on Pa per. "Much of It Based on Rotten Securities. WASHINGTON. June 13. An under current of opposition among a consider able number of House Democrats to the plan for currency legislation at this session of Congress took definite shape today, when Representative Kenry, of Texas, chafrman of the rules committee. openly charged that V ail street was back of the propaganda for currency legislation. While favoring revision of both the banking and currency laws at the next session of Congress. Mr. Henry insisted that further investigation of the so-called "money trust" should be pressed immediately. The PuJo committee, he declared, barely scratched the surface of the facts underlying the concentration of con trol of money and credit, because the Controller of the Currency refused ac cess to his records, making it impossible for the investigators to expose com pletely the existing relations between the "Wall street bankers and their allies "with the trust and monopolies, stock gamblers and financial conspirators. Wall-Street Motive Questioned. "Wall street bankers, he added, "now are demanding legislation on tho cur rency question iyi order that they may make a market" for their commercial paper, much of it based on rotten 5 curlties, and have currency issued on their assets. Mr. Henry introduced a bill to amend the banking laws so as to make bank Ing associations subject to the lnqulst torlal powers "exercised or directed by Congress or by either house of Con gress. While this was going on it became known that the Administrative measure would be introduced in the House next Tuesday and that the full committee ot the House probably would meet to take up the bill within the next day or two President Wilson Is expected to send a message on the subject probably Tues day. "It Is an imperative duty to pass cur rency legislation at this session of Con gress, said Representative Crlaes to night. "It seems singular to me that any well-informed member of Congress should Imagine that the need is not urgent." Issue Declared Confused. Mr. Henry in his statement accom panying his bill declared the "Wall- street bankers, thinking the people con fused this upset with tariff revision, have begun their old scheme of en deavoring to hurry through a plan giv ing the right to Issue or have issued by the Government asset currency. The bankers and their allies want to make a market for their papers and securities and. control the country's cur rency and cause the Government to ab dicate the functions of issuing and con trolling the currency," he added. "There Is positively at present no need ot an emergency currency bill. The Aldrich- Vreelend bill is on the statutes and bas a year to live. It certainly suffices for that length of time.' Charging that the only aim of the Wall-street bankers was to pass the Aldrich bill, "veneered over so as to fool the people," Mr. Henry said the voters would be "wise to wake up and prepare for the greatest struggle they ever fought with the New iork bank.
