WASHINGTON, June 20. President
Wilson secured tonight from a majority
of the Democratic members of the
House banking and currency commit
tee expressions of harmony and
acquiescence in the Administration
programme of enacting a currency bill
at the present session of Congress.
At a two hours' conference held
around the Cabinet table in the White
House 'Offices, -where earlier in the day
the heads of the Government depart
ments had sat as advisors to the Presi
dent, the members of the committee
were asked their views on the Admin
istration currency bill as it is to e
Introduced by Representative Glass,
, chairman of the committee. Those who
expressed opinions are favorably in
clined toward it.
Details Much Dlnrnnard.
As the 14 committeemen filed out
they were reticent about discussing
the conference. Just as Representa
tive' Glass had smilingly referred the
correspondents to the President, Mr.
Wilson himself walked to the door of
the office and talked with the news
paper men, a procedure unusual at
night conferences at the White House.
The President explained that the
meeting was chiefly a get-to-gether
affair; that naturally some of the de
tails In the bill had brought consider
able discussion, but that so far as had
been observed there was a friendly
feeling toward the fundamentals of the
Administration measure. Mr. Wilson
said, however, that the members of the
committee all seemed to desire action
at the' present session, but that they
had asked him not to hurry considera
tion of the bill, so that it might be
deliberated- on carefully. The Presi
dent remarked that he had had no in
tention of seeking hasty action and
hoped that by common counsel and
conferences a measure satisfactory to
the party would be obtained.
President Plead for Harmony.
Talk of friction in t,he committee had
been reported about the Capitol, and
separate bills had been planned for
introduction. It was to urge on the
members the necessity of standing by
the Administration measure, subject to
amendments, that the conference was
called. There will be other confer
ences at the White House in the near
future, but the President felt, after to
night's meeting, that a start had been
made toward unifying sentiment on
the Administration biU-
Antagonism to present action on the
currency and criticism of the new bill
as agreed, on by the Administration
leaders became well defined among
Senators today. Prominent members
of the Senate currency committee ex
pressed the belief that the committee
as a whole does not favor the immedi
ate passage of any bill and that Presi
dent Wilson would be urged not to
demand action at the extra session.
Several Senators expressed the belief
that the provision asked for by Repre
sentative Glass for the retirement of
National bank notes and the refunding
of the 2 per cent Government bonds
now securing that currency with a 3
per cent issue should have been left
in the bill.
The most striking criticism of the
measure came from Senator Nelson
a Republican member of the Senate
currency committee.
Single Board Criticised.
"The bill made public by Mr. Glass
seems to be but a temporary make
s.nit, ne Bam. una amounts to no
more than the Aldrich-Vreeland emerg
ency currency bill and is more cum
bersome in its machinery than the
Aldrich-Vreeland bill. While it pro
fesses to decentralize by creating 12
or more reserve associations, yet It
leaves control in the hands of a single
board located here at the National cap
ital. composed largely of Government
officials.
"It fails utterly to amend or improve
our present system of National banks
and the system of bond-secured cur
rency appertaining to them. At best
it can only be looked upon as a tem
porary measure."
Democratic members of the .commit
tee expressed a desire to go over the
measure in detail with President Wil
son and so far no meeting has been
called. The plan embodied in the meas
ure has never been passed on or In
dorsed by the Senate committee, but
It will furnish a basis on which they
will attempt to meet the President In
rase he Is insistent on legislation

GOA'EKXMEXT SEEKS TO STOP
BREAKAGE IX SHIPMENT.
Nine Per Cent of Product Smashed
En Route to Market, Caus
ing Price to Soar.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 20. Nine per . cent of all
the eggs shipped to market in the
United States are broken in transit, ac
cording to ' statistics gathered by the
Department of Agriculture. To re
duce this enormous - breakage, which
yearly causes a loss of millions of dol
lars to producers, and raises the price
of eggs for consumers, the Department
is conducting extensive experiments to
determine the safest manner of packing
eggs for shipment.
The waste from the breakage of eggs
in New York City alone last year was
more than llhi million dozen, out of
a total consumption in New York that
year of 127,683,600 dozen.
. The Department experts regard the
methods of preventing egg breakage as
particularly important because the loss
in shipment naturally tends to keep
the price of this valuable food higher
than it should be.
The Department is now. engaged in
shipping eggs handled in different
ways to different points in the United
States, and Is carefully noting their
condition aC their- destination. Ship
pers, railroad men and commission men
are co-operating heartily with the
Government investigators.
The situation is said to be growing
acute, because the railroads declare
their damage losses are such as to
make the carrying of eggs unprofit
able. AGUINALDO VISITS JAPAN
Secret Mission Believed to Be to Get
Philippine Independence.
TOKfO, June 21. The newspapers
here report the arrival in Tokio of
John Aguinaido, son of Emllio Aguin
aldo, the former Filipino revolutionary
leader. They say he wore Japanese
dress and came to Toklo secretly, be
ing followed later by a suite of three
Filipinos. The newspapers reflect the
impression which obtains in some quar
ters that Aguinaido has come to Japan
to take advantage of the negotiations
between Japan and the United States
to secure the liberation of the Philip
pines from American rule.
- A dispatch from Tokio June 17 said
reports from Kobe announced the ar
rival of Aguinaido there on his way
to the capital. It developed that Ag
uinaido conferred in Kobe with sev
eral Japanese, -and in some quarters it
was believed that his visit had to do
with a movement for the independence
of the Philippines.
The foreign office at Tokio said it
had no knowledge whatever of Aguin
aido. LARGEST NUGGET FOUND
Solid Gold Find Worth. $1500
Causes Big Rush to Susanville.
BAKER, Or., June 20. (Special.)
Probably the largest nugget ever found
in the Northwest was panned yesterday
by George Armstrong and Richard
Staurton, on their Dutch Gulch placer
claim, three miles from Susanville and
CO miles from Baker. The nugget was
of solid gold, worth $1500. It weighs
six and three-quarters pounds and is
worth $17.50 an ounce.
News of the find reached here this
morning and there began a rusli to
Susanville. The men were mining with
hydraulic pressure when the big lump
of richness was unearthed. They
broughf it to Baker this evening. They
have mined irregularly the claim for
about four years and have had a hand
some profit. The largest nugget pre
viously taken out in Eastern Oregon
was worth $728 in the same district a
few years ago. The Humboldt placers
in the Mormon Basin two years'ago un
covered a $720 nugget.
RIGHT TO CHASTISE DENIED
Xaw Defends Boys Caught Raiding
Cherry Orchard.
His domiciliary right to cuff young
boys who invaded his premises to raid
his cherry trees, was pleaded without
effect by George W. McCoy, an elderly
retired capitalist, before a jury in Mu
nicipal Court yesterday, when he faced
a charge of assault and battery. The
complainant was Richard W. Moore,
1903 East Washington street, who, with
another boy, had been caught in the
orchard and severely castigated with a
stick.
Armed with a sheaf of authorities
which he demanded that the court
should read to the Jury, McCoy pleaded
his own case, and in answer to a ques
tion by an attorney, denied that, as a
boy, he had ever stolen fruit. The Jury
found him guilty and the court sus
pended sentence.
JAPAN AGAIN APOLOGIZES
Inscription on Walls of American
Embassy Is Cause.
TOKIO, June 20. A further apology
was offered today to Arthur Ballley
Blanchard, United States Charge d'Af
faires, by Keishiro Mutusi, Under Sec
retary of State for Foreign Affairs, for
the action of the persons who wrote on
the walls of the Embassy on June 18
an inscription directed against the
United States and calling Americans
the enemies of liberty and justice.
The Under Secretary called and
voiced his government's regret. The
Foreign Office had sent a formal apolo
getic message Immediately after the
occurrence. Search for the culprits is
still proceeding. - .

MOLSON, Wash., June 20. (Special.)
Two Deputy Sheriffs shot dead and
others of the posse wounded in an at
tempt to arrest J. H. Ethel, charged
with arson. Is the report brought to
Molson tonight.
When night fell on the scene at the
little sawmill town named for Ethel,
several miles south of here. Ethel was
barricaded in his house and armed with
a Luger rifle, the weapon with which
the deputies were laid low, was hold
ing the small posse at bay.
The place is remote from telephone
connection at night, and the names of
the men reported to have been killed in
the , fight with Ethel have - not been
learned. Another deputv is said to
have been shot through the hip.
The posse sent to arrest Ethel ex
pected trouble. He had previously been
arrested on another charge of arson
and was bound over to tl.e "Superior
Court of Okanogan County, giving bail
or iooo. This he forfeited.
Ethel may give the county much
more trouble if he determines to es
cape during the night, as the sawmill
is located in a forest, and once he gets
into the fastnesses of the mountains
the work of getting him will be ex
tremely difficult, to say nothing of
me ganger. , .

DESERTION RUMOR DENIED
Order to Philippines Has Not De
pleted Hanks, Says Officer.""
ANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash.,
June 20. (Special.) That there have
been many desertions from the Second
Field Artillery stationed at this post,
Blnce it was ordered, to go to the Phil
ippine Islands is denied today by Lieutenant-Colonel
Edward F. McGlachlin,
in command, of the batteries. It has
been reported, without foundation, that
many men were leaving, not desiring
to go to the Philippines again, but
this is not true, as the records in the
headquarters here will prove.
It is probable that the men will be
paid here June 30, about a day before
they depart for San Francisco to take
the Government transport leaving that
harbor July 5.

4-OAR RACE PROCESSION
Freshmen Fights Have Real Battle,
but Crew Trained by American
Methods Displays More. Re
serve Power at Finish.
NEW LONDON, Conn., June 20. For
the sixth time in six consecutive year6
Harvard's eight-oared varsity crew
triumphed over the Yale oarsmen in
the four-mile race that closed the an
nual inter-universtty regatta here this
afternoon. Preceded Dy the two Crim
son victories of the "forenoon and the
two won on Thursday, it completed a
Harvard sweep that has been equaled
only once or twice in the long history
of Yale-Harvard rowing.
The-final defeat administered to Yale
was so crushing that the English stroke
and rowlng'methods imported from Ox
ford are being ridiculed tonight in a
manner which many veteran oarsmen
think unjust. Sweeping down the river
with a steady and consistent stroke.
Harvard crossed the finish line 11
lengths ahead of the Blue, in 21 min
utes and 42 seconds. The Ell eight
rolled and splashed across Just 33 sec
onds later as badly a defeated crew as
had been seen on the Thames River
course in years.
Race Becomes Procession.
Except in the first mile the race was
merely a procession, with the Crimson
steadily increasing the lead as the flags
slipped past. It was not that the Yale
oarsmen broke or- failed to get speed
out of their English stroke, but Har
vard surpassed them in every depart
ment of rowing. Using a trifle quicker
stroke. Coach Wray's pupils drove their
racing craft through the water at a
faster pace and with less motion, yet
In the end they failed to show the
symptoms of excessive exhaustion that
marked the finish of the Blue.
In the last half mile. Harvard main
tained. a fast pace, finishing with a
racing sprint that carried the stroke
up to 40 to the minute. As the shell
slid across the finish the oarsmen
dropped their sweeps and slapped each
other on the backs and then waved to
friends who were chanting the long
arawn out Harvard cheer.
Yale Shell Barely Crawl.
Far back came the Yale eight, roll

The unexpected inheritance of a for
tune has not "turned the head" of J.
F. Wellman, a' Salem motorman. Mr.
Wellman, in charge of his car, was
hailed at State and Liberty streets this
afternoon by a messenger for a tele
graph company.
"A telegram for you, Mr. Wellman."
he exclaimed.
The motorman receipted for the
message, jammed it into his' pocket.
and proceeded to State and Commercial
streets, the end of the line. Then he
pulled the yellow envelope from his
pocket hesitatingly, . for he wondered
if any of his relatives back in Ohio
were ill, hurt or something like that.
He read:
"Cleveland. O.. June 20. Your uncle.
F. J. Wellman, Is dead. He bequeathed
you J32.000." ,
Mr. Wellman was a wealthy cattle
buyer and having no direct heirs he
left his fortune to nieces and nephews.
"Well. I guess I'll make another
trip," said the motorman, as he put
the message back in hi3 pocket.
Mr. .Wellman said tonight that he
would continue to operate the car. for
which he gets J2.50 a day. until he re
ceived his inheritance, when he would
buy a farm. His young wife looks upon
the Inheritance as a wedding present.

M'KINLEVS HIGHEST
PEAK SCALED By 4
Archdeacon and Party
Climb 20,500 Feet.
MARCH EXPEDITION SUCCESS
Earthquake Throwing Ice Over
Ridge Causes Delay.
AMERICAN FLAG HOISTED
"Te Deum' Said by Episcopal Mis
sionary on Highest Point iu
North America After Trip
Without Mishap Recorded.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 20. The
ascent of the highest peak of Mount
McKinley was accomplished successful
ly for the first time June 7. when the
party led by Archdeacon Hudson Stuck,
Episcopal Missionary for Alaska,' ac
companied by IloDert G. Tatum, Harry
P . Karstens arid Walter Harper,
reached the top of the south peak of
the mountain, the highest on the con
tinent. News of the success of the expedi
tion was received today by a messenger
sent by Dr. Stuck, who Is resting at
the Base Camp. Archdeacon Stuck ex
pects to return to Fairbanks in August
and will go to New York in October
as delegate for Alaska to the general
convention of the Episcopal Church.
Dr. Stuck and his assistants erected
a six-foot cross on the summit of the
great mountain and said "Te Deum" on
the highest point. Observations made
with the mercurial barometer indicate
the height of the mountain is 20,500
feet. Dr. Stuck said this can be
checked by comparing the reading of
his barometer with the records taken
at Fort Gibbon on the samo date.
Earthquake t'auara Delay.
The expedition, which left Fairbanks
March 13. expected to reach the sum
mit of Mount McKinley early in May,
but was delayed three weeks cutting a.
passage three miles long through ice
thrown across the ridgo by an earth
quake last Summer.
The party found much evidence of
seismic disturbance on the upper
ridges. The upper basin shows evi
dence of a violent upheaval and the
ridges are badly shattered but the
summits are not marred.
Archdeacon Stuck confirmed the as
cent of the North Teak by Thomas
Lloyd and three companions in 1910, bc
being able with field glasses to see' the
flagstaff erected by the Lloyd party
when they accomplished their feat.
The message which was sent by
Archdeacon Stuck said:
Expedition Big Success.
"Expedition successful. Accomplished
first complete ascent of Mount McKin
ley June 7.
"if- P- Karsttns, P.. G. Tatum. "Walter
Harper and I reached top of South (the
highest of all) peak on' a clear day.
when it was possible to read ail tile
angles of the mountain's other promi
nent points, and make certain that th
peak we had conquered was the highest
of all.
"We successfully carried a mercurial
barometer to the top and made com
plete readings and observations which,
with simultaneous readings at Gibbon,
should permit a close approximation of
the true altitude when proper correc
tions are upplied. Water belled 174.9 de
grees. The present estimate of the
summit's height is upward of 20,u00
feet. -
"We were able to read a gles on all
prominent points. With fieldglasses we
clearly saw the flagpole erected in 1910
by the Thomas Lloyd expedition on the
North peak (.the lower of the two main
peaks.)
American Flag Hoisted.'
"After completing" observations on
the summit we hoisted the American
flag on the upper basin, erected a six
foot cross and taid 'te deum' on the
highest point of North America.
"The northeast side 4s the only pos
sible approach to the summit.
"Due to the violent earthquakes of
last July the higher ridges were ter
ribly shattered and this added largely
to the danger, difficulty and labor of
the ascent.
"We passed three weeks in continu
ous bad weather hewing a passage
three miles long through this ridge.
This was the chief cause of delay, as
we made rapid progress at all other
stages of the journey.
No Mishap Recorded.
"The chief credit for our success Is
due to Karstens good judgment, re
sourcefulness and caution. We did not
have a single mishap."
Archdeacon Stuck's party is the first
to reach the summit of the South peak.
One other expedition reached the lop
of the North Peak, Thomas Lloyd, of
Fairbanks, and three other Alaskans
making an ascent in the Spring of
1910 and claiming the honor of being
the first party to reach the top st
cither of the twin peaks of the moun
tain. Lloyd attacked the mountain on
the northeast face, crossing Muldrow
glacier and working along the north
cast ridge to the summit.

of Brooklyn, and Belmore Browne, of
