Administration's Hold on Public De
clared Frail if One Act, Even
Mistaken One, Could De
stroy Confidence In It.
WASHINGTON, June 29. (Special.)
Secretary of State Bryan, assuming
ffie role of Editor Bryan, has come to
the defense of Attorney-General Mc
ReynoIds, Secretary of Labor Wilson
and Immigration Commissioner -Cami-netti
in connection with the charges
growing: out of the Digrgs-Caminettl
"white slave" cases.
Spurred by an editorial in the New
York World, one of the leading; Demo
cratic newspapers of the country, in
which it was declared that Attorney
General McReynoIds ought to resign
from President Wilson's Cabinet, Mr.
Bryan wrote the following editorial for.
the Commoner, which he made public
tonlgrht:
"The editor of the Commoner has
read with deep regret the editorial
which appeared in the New York World
of this morning, and is sure that the
editor will, on reflectipn. admit that he
has done injustice to Attorney-General
McReynoIds, Secretary Wilson and Im
migration Commissioner Caminetti. Mr.
McReynoIds continued the case at the
request of Secretary Wilson, and it was
a reasonable request.
Continuance In Defenrted.
"The New York World says that it
does not doubt that Mr. McReynoIds'
motives were honorable. If his motives
were honorable, how can his act justify
a demand for his resignation? A con
tinuance is not an unusual thinly, and
does not mean a defeat of justice. If
Buch a continuance had been asked in
an ordinary case, under the same con
ditions, It would have been granted
without question by any Attorney-General.
The fact that the father of one
of the defendants is a public official
ought not to alter the case.
"Neither can Secretary Wilson be
fairly blamed. He declares that he was
considering the interests of his depart
ment and that he made the request on
his own initiative and without solici
tation from Mr. Caminetti. No one who
knows Secretary Wilson will question
either his honesty or his veracity. Why
should he resign? No one could make
a. more satisfactory Secretary of Labor
than he is making-.
Kldrr Caminetti Kxtollea.
"As for Mr.- Caminetti. we have
known him for. more than 20 years, and
have no hesitation in saying: that there
is not a more uprijtht or honorable man
in public jife. He la a Progressivf
Democrat, and has during, the last two
decides been connected with all the
movements that have had for their ob
ject the advancement of the public wel
fare. It is 'both unjust and ungenerous
to any that he should retire from poli
tics because of his son's conduct, even
though the son has been guiliy of gro3s
and criminal, immorality.
"The President has examined into the
facts and approved the action taken by
the Attorney-General. When the pub
lic has had an opportunity to consider
the entire case, the Administration's
course will be sustained. Its hold upon
the public would be frail, indeed. If con
fidence in It could be destroyed or even
shaken by one act, even if It could be
shown which is not possible that that
act was a mistake."
CUPID MAYYET BE DRIVEN
Compulsory Marriage, Drawing by
Lot, Proposed- in Trieste.
TRIESTE, Austria-Hungary. June 21.
(Special.) There lias been such a
decline of recent years in th-e marriage
rate of Trieste that one of the civic
dignitaries suggests the institution of
a system of compulsory matrimony, it
is proposed that on a given date in
each year all spinsters who have at
tained their 25th year and bachelors
who have attained their 30th years
should, be required to present them
selves before the syndic in whose Jur
isdiction they reside.
The names of those who on medical
examination prove to be thoroughly
sound would be sorted according to
sex, placed in separate urns, and then
drawn two at a time.
The couples, whose names are drawn
together would, at the conclusion of
the draw, be united in marriage forth

3 GUILTY OF
Two Merchants and Insurance
Adjuster Convicted.
JURY OUT OVER 20 HOURS
Covltz Brothers and Joseph ' Clarke
to Appeal Men .First of AI
Jeged Members of "Firebug
I Trust" to' Stand Trial.
CHICAGO, June "29. (Special.) Ed
ward and Paul Covltz, former . woolen
merchants, and Joseph Clarke, a public
Are insurance adjuster, were found
guilty of arson by a jury which re
turned a verdict in the Criminal Court
this morning.
A motion for a new trial will be
made by the attorneys for the defense
tomorrow, and a date for arguments
will be set. .
The agreement, of the. jury came as
a surprise. Both counsel for the state
and defense had expected a disagree
ment because the jurors had deliber
ated 20 hours and 25 minutes when the
verdict was reached. Two Jurors, it
was said, held out from the beginning
to acquit Clarke.
The defendants were In court when
the verdict was ready. The Covitz
brothers almost collapsed, but Clarke
appeared unconcerned. The former said
their nationality was the cause of the
conviction. The convicted men were
not taken into custody. The brothers
are under $40,000 bonds and their co-
defendant on $75,000 bonds, and the
surety probably will be allowed to
stand until the motion for a new trial
is disposed of.
The convicted men were the first of
46 alleged members of the "arson
trust," recently Indicted, to be tried.
The defendants were convicted i
connection with an Incendiary fire at
Covitz Bros.' place of business on the
night of November 5, 1912. John Da
nles, the "firebug," was the star witness
for the prosecution. He testified that
Clarke had written him to come to Chi
cago from New York, and that $700
had been given him by the adjuster to
apply the torch.
Clarence S. Darrow was chief counsel
for the defense.
WORKMEN'S ACJ IS UPHELD
Referendum
On Oregon
Scored.
Measure
"It fairly makes me boil when I
think of our boys getting worked up
at the instigation of a few shyster
lawyers to the point where a referen
dum is brought on the Oregon work
men's compensation act," said John H.
Wallace, a member of the Industrial
Insurance Commission of Washington,
at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday.
Mr. Wallace is here as a delegate to
the World's Christian Citizenship Con
ference from the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Olympia. and before his re
turn will look after some cases that
come under the care of the commis
sion at points in Southern Washing
ton. "Specially does it seem a mistake
to me to bring the referendum on the
Oregon act when you have the initia
tive and can amend any feature of the
law that is not satisfactory." contin
ued Mr. Wallace. By "our boys" he
meant the labor union men of Oregon,
for Mr. Wallace is himself a union
coal miner, and had been a labor
leader in Washington for many years
before he was appointed to the com
mission created by the enaction of a
workman'3 compensation law in that
state.
"Why, the Oregon act excelled - the
one we are working under in Wash
ington in so many ways that it seems
a shame to have any delay in putting
it,'n operation," he said.
"Now that we have the initiative,
we will be able to remedy the defects
in our law, as you would have in
yours, and It la deplorable that any
union man in Oregon should te so mis
guided as to wish to turn down so
good a piece of humanitarian legis
lation as was enacted by the Oregon
Legislature last Winter."

would be favorable to' certain legisla
tion, such facts should be made known,
because members of Congress have the
privileges of the floor of the Senate,
and are able to influence legislation
there.
"Wool Lobby" Next In Line.
"The Senate resolution introduced by
Senator Cummins was In response to
President Wilson's statement that ef
forts were being made to influence leg
islation in this Congress. It was rath
er limited to lobbying now going on.
Since then there have been disclosed
evidences of extensive lobbying that I
think we ought to inquire into fully."
The Senate committee will not re
new activity until July 7. Mr. Mulhall
has been summoned to appear July 8;
but Chairman Overman said tonight
the committee probably would finish
up with the "sugar lobby" and investi
gate the character of the "wool lobby"
that has been maintained in Washing
ton and elsewhere, before taking up
the charges made in the Mulhall state
ment, or the Wall street disclosures
made by Robert S. Lovett, Representa
tive A. Mitchell Palmer and others.
Kmery ' Issues Statement.
Several of the men mentioned by
Mulhall in his published article issued
statements here tonight. . James E.
Emery, counsel for the National Asso
ciation of Manufacturers ' and referred
to by Mulhall as "chief lobbyist," said:
"The statement that any of the pub
lie men named in Mulhall's charges
were ever In the employ of the asso
ciation olrectly while in or out of pub
lic life is a sinister and diabolical lie."
He said that he did not even know
by sight many of those mentioned as
having been "influenced" by officers
or agents of the manufacturers asso
ciation notable among these being Rep
resentative James McDermott of Illin
ois and Ralph Cole.
Representative Sherley, of Kentucky,
whose name appeared in Mulhall's list
of those who would be "Influenced,"
said he did not know Mulhall and that
he would make a statement on. the floor
of the House about the matter. Sena
tor Gallinger, of New Hampshire, and
Representatives Bartlioldt, of Missouri,
and Webb, of North Carolina, also in
cluded In the list, denounced the
charges as untrue as far as they were
concerned.
Speaker Clark Makes Reply.
Speaker Clark, one of the members
of Congress Mulhall said the agents of
the Manufacturers' Association tried to
defeat on account of his supporting
measures they opposed, said:
"Mulhall's statement so far as it re
fers to me confirms a charge I made
on the stump in the Ninth Congression
al District In 1910 and that was that a
large amount of boodle was being used
to defeat me. They were so quiet
about it In 1908 that they cut my ma
jority down to the lowest I have re
ceived since 1894, and that Is to 1397.
For 12 years prior thereto it had been
taken for granted by both Democrats
and Republicans that I would be elect
ed and nobody paid an-.parttcular at
tention to it. So In lJOby making a
sly hunt they came uncomfortably near
getting my scalp. As everybody knew
that I would be re-elected minority
leader In December. 1908. by reason of
Hon. John Sharp Williams' public no
tice that he would resign and that I
would probably be elected Speaker of
the Sixty-first Congress If we carried
it, my defeat -would have been a feath
er in their cap.
"In September, 1910, it began to be
whispered about that they were mak
ing their brags that they would beat
me and that they had plenty of money
to do it with. I began to believe it.
So beginning with the first day of Oc
tober I charged in every speech I made
that boodle was being used to compass
my defeat. Finally all the Democrats
and hundreds of decent Republicans
got mad and went to. work and rolled
up a majority of 4100 for me the big
gest I had ever received up to that
time."

Senate Finance Committee Blamed
for Holding Measure Republi
cans Will Put Their Op
ponents on Record.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. D. C. June 29. President Wil
son will not have a chance to sign the
Underwood tariff bill before September
1,- according to present indications,
and it may . be even later before the
bill passes the Senate and the two
branches of Congress adjust their dif
ferences. This is true because of the
great amount of time that-is expected
to be consumed by debate on the bill
after it reaches the Senate, for debate
cannot be shut off in the upper branch
of Congress and every Senator is at
liberty to talk as often and as long
as he chooses.
The tariff could have been disposed
of at a much earlier date, had the
Senate finance committee not wasted
two months in discussing the bill be
fore submitting it to the Democratic
caucus for approval. However, the de
lay has been occasioned by the Demo
cratic members of the finance commit
tee, for the Republicans have had no
voice in the framing of the bill after
it came from the House, and they
were not even permitted to participate
in the executive sessions of the com
mittee where the bill was being con
sidered. Committee Has Been Dilatory.
There is much mystery around the
senate over the dllatorlness of the
Democratic rnajorlty of the finance
committee, for when the special ses
sion convened it was supposed that
this committee would get down to
work at once. Inasmuch as it had a copy
of the House bill within a few days
after the session began, and most Sen
ators expected the committee would
be able to report the bill within two
weeks of the time it passed the House,
especially as no hearings were given.
Notwithstanding the fact that hearings
were denied, and notwithstanding the
fact that the" finance committee has
had the bill In hand since April 10,
it has not yet finished its work.
Considering the comparatively few
important changes made in the bill
by the finance committee, it is diffi
culty to figure out why the commit
tee has spent so much time in its con
sideration and what it has been doing
while in session behind closed doors.
The committee has been at work, or
supposedly has been at work practical
ly every day since April 10, and with
all that time, it has been slower than
have other finance committees, -which
have held public hearings, in addition
to their executive consideration of the
bill after the hearings closed.
LS Debate In Prospect.
After the Democrats of the finance
committee has held the bill back for
nearly three months, the majority of
the Senate will not be able to force
the Republican minority to. cut short
Its discussion of the bill after it is
reported to the Senate, and the
minority, if it be determined, has it In
its power to compel the majority to
grant all the time the minority desires
for discussion. This being true, ana
there being no cloture rule in the
Senate, the Republicans will submit
many and somewhat extended remarks
on the tariff bill before it goes to a
vote, and most Democratic senators in
tend to take time to state their po
sitions, especially those Senators who
are being forced into voting for the
bill though they do not like it.
When the debate closes, the Re
publicans, for the sake of preserving
their party record, intend to submit
numerous amendments to the bill be
fore It is put on its passage, and
will demand a roll call upon every
Important amendment. These roll calls
will not be merely for dilatory pur
poses, but to embarrass Democratic
Senators in several instances, as, for
example, when it is proposed to place
wool and sugar on the dutiable list.
These will be amendments which many
Democratic Senators, at heart, will fa
vor, and yet they will not dare vote
for the amendments offered by Re
publican Senators. However, when
they go on record against such amend
ments, the Republicans will have ma
terial with which to go into the next
campaign, and that Is one of the prin
cipal things the Republicans will
strive for.

VERDICT STANDOFF
Damages Assessed In Sheep Case
Same for Both Sides.
GOLDENDALE. Wash.. June 29.
(Special.) A Jury in the Superior Court
returned a standoff verdict arter being
out several hours last night in the case
of Fred G. Smith, a sheepman residing
near Grand Dalles, vs. Ulrich, iiuber-
buehler and Jack Perry, cattlemen in
the Trout Lake section of Western
Klickitat.
The action was begun by Smith to
recover damages for an alleged mali
cious prosecution in having him ar
rested for trespass last year while he
was taking his band of sheep across
a strip of territory leased by the de
fendants for a cattle range, between
Trout Lake and the Ice Caves, on his
way to Summer pastures in the Colum
bia National Forest Reserve. Smith
also contends that his sheep were dam
aged by the cattlemen riding through
the band on horseback and milling
them around, and the defendants coun
terelaimed for damages to their range.
The real issue involved stands right
where it did when the cattlemen stop
ped and turned the sheep.
