I Captain Potta Hndn List. .
j Captain Potts, who heads the list,
; was the center of a storm early in the
j present Administration, when it was
j announced that his promotion to Rear
! Admiral would be held up until he had
i had more extended sea service. He
; will retire In his present grade, as will
all of those who retired today, and each
j will receive three-quarters pay.

; P. W. Sawyer, L. S. Thompson. B. B.
McCormick, r. V. H. Allen, B. L.. Bis
sctt. J. S. Doddridge and A. M. Cook.
In announcing the work of the
."plucking board." Secretary Daniels is
sued the following statement:
j "The most unpleasant duty of the
year was performed today at the Navy
(Department when the Board of Selec
tion for retirement made 'its report to
! Secretary Daniels.
'. WIlBon Note Daniels' Gravity.
I "Secretary Daniels took the report to
j the White House for approval of the
President, who remarked upon his
I grave countenance. Mr. Daniels replied
It hat the law governing the action, of
!the board was like that of the Medea'
.and Persians, i which could .v not ' be
changed. After the President affixed
.his signature, the Secretary . ' notified
ieach officer by telegram of the action
Jof the board in his case, so. that It
I might be informed before the general
public would have the information from
the press.
"There were other applications for
; voluntary retirement, but as the ac
ceptance of these is within the dlscre
; tion of the President, the latter de
cided to accept only those of officers
; who had to their credit 20 or more
fycars -of service after completing the
: course a t Annapolts.
i "In former years officers retiring
: either compulsorily or voluntarily were
: retired in the next higher grade. Con
; cress, however, by an act passed last
August, so amended the law that such
; retirements must be made In the grade
;in which the officers are at the time.
;So this is the first occasion on which
Jthe amended law has operated."
jTWO GO TO ELKS' MEETING
C. C. Bradley to Represent I-oeal
j Lodge at Ttochester.
; C C. Bradley, past exalted ruler of
Jthe Portland lodge of Elks, left last
night for Rochester. N. Y to attend
the graod lodge convention which opens
in that city next Monday. . He will be
the. official representative of the Port
land lodge.
The only other Portland man who
will attend the sessions is Gus C. Moser.
;Who Is a member of the grand lodge
judiciary committee. He left here last
week and went to Chicago, where he
attended a meeting of his committee.
Every lodge in Oregon will be repre
sented at Rochester, and each of these
delegates will Join with the others of
ltie Northwest in advancing Seattle's
claims for the grand lodge meeting
place in the year of the World's Fair
at San Francisco. It is improbable that
San Francisco will be considered seri
ously, inasmuch as the grand lodge
steadfastly maintains an attitude of
holding its meetings apart from an ex
position. STRANGER KILLED BY TRAIN

All efforts to learn anything regard
ing him have been of no avail. No one

fore the accident. A report that he
had been. doing sawfillng in some of
the mills In this vicinity has been un
substantiated. The accident occurred
a short distance south - of Iatham,
where there is a curve around the hill.

of the Senate officials and will come
to Washington to testify Tuesday.
A demand will be made In the House
tomorrow by Representatives Sherley,
of Kentucky, and Neeley. of Kansas,
for an Immediate investigation of the
Mulhall charges by that body. Both
Representatives propose a speclal-gTom-jnittee
of five to take up .the ga-
tions made by Mulhall, that the Manu
facturers' Association financed cam
paigns, elected and defeated Congress
men, dictated legislation and controlled
the makeup of committees.
Mulhall Documents Obtained.
The Senate committee has secured
the Mulhall papers, however, and pro
poses to hold on to them for its inquiry!
A subpena served on Louis J. Seibold,
of the New ork World, required him
to produce the mass of letters and doc
uments turned over to the World by
Mulhall and James A. Emery, repre
sentative of the-National Association
of Manufacturers in Washington, also
has been subpenaed to bring all his
papers bearing on legislative activities.
Senator Overman declined to reveal
the extent of the proposed investiation
of paid press bureaus further than to
say that "other developments are com
ing." The committee learned in the
course of its interrogation of so-called
"sugar lobbyists," that large sums bad
been spent ifor publicity and for con
tracts covering certain kinds of "news
services." It is understood that efforts
will be made to determine the extent
and character of all paid "news serv
ices" that are connected with the in
fluencing of legislation.-

JOB AT CRATER LAKE PARR XOT

Secretary Lane Decides Superintend
cnt Is Subject to Removal as
Soon as Steel Arrives.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 1. William F. Arant
having declined to resign as superin
tendent of the Crater Lake National
Park. Secretary Lane today ordered his
removal when his successor, Will G.
Steel, of Portland, arrives and takes
oath. Arant when called upon to re
sign contended he was In the civil
service and could be removed only for
cause. Secretary Lane carefully made
inquiry, and this showed that Arant is
not under civil service and therefore
is subject to removal at any time by
the Secretary. Had Arant been a civil
service employe, as he contended, it
would have been impossible to give his
Job to Steel unless Arant could be
shown to be inefficient.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., July 1.
(Special.) A bitter contest is in pros
pect between the rival superintendents
of Crater Lake National Park. Will G.
Steel, the new appointee, has started
from Medford with the intention of
taking charge at once, and W. Frank
Arant, the incumbent, left Klamath
Falls to begin work on the bridges,
which were taken up during "the Win
ter. The outcome will depend on the re
sult of Arant's protest against removal,
unless charges are preferred before the
Civil Service Commission. The local
Democrats who have been seeking the
ffice have no favorite in the fight,
hoping that it may lead to both men
being dropped in favor of a Democrat.

Myers.
"Unquestionably this is the next
step in the development of the postal

CAUCUS REVERSES
INSURANCE ACTION
Senators Decide Finally to Ex
empt Dividends Repaid to
Policy Holders.
COTTON TRADING TAXED
Future Deals to Be Stamped, Sub
ject to Refund When Actual De
livery Is. Made: Bill May
Be Finished Today.
WASHINGTON. July 1. Senate Dem
ocrats approached a final agreement
on the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill
In caucus late today when they made
the following decisions on Important
contested points:
Mutual life insurance companies were
exempted from payment of income tax
on premiums returned to policyholders
in the form of dividends.
A stamp of one-tenth of 1 cent a
pound was agreed to for all trading
in cotton futures, the tax to be re
funded where cotton is actually de
livered. An agreement was reached for a vote
tomorrow on the Hitchcock amendment
proposing a restrictive' tax on tobacco
production, to prevent monopoly,
fail run Reverses Action.
The finance committee members
held another meeting tonight to decide
questions referred back from the
caucus. The caucus will resume work
tomorrow and it is believed the final
paragraphs will be reached before
night.
The decision to " exempt earnings
which mutual life insurance companies
later distribute to policyholders came
at the end of long debate. The caucus
last night by a vote of 13 to 11 over
turned the recommendation of the fin
ance committee Democrats that such
exemption be made. On a reconsidera
tion today, asked for by Senator Lewis,
the caucus reversed the action and
voted to uphold the committee.
Senator Overman tried vainly to have
the tax on cotton futures cut down
from the one-tenth of 1 cent basis pro
posed by Senator Clark, to one-twentieth
of 1 cent
"Trust Curb" Debated.
Senator Hitchcock's fight to secure
the adoption of his tobacco tax amend
ment, which embraced the views set
forth some time ago by Attorney-General
McReynolds for "curbing the
growth of the trust," was carried on
until adjournment today and will be
renewed tomorrow. Members of tne
finance committee decided against the
amendment, which would Impose a
heavy tax on production above a cer
tain figure.
Senator Hitchcock also will propose
tomorrow a companion amendment for
a tax on the production of all corpora
tions tnat control more than a speci
fied amount of the production in their
line of industry; and will attempt to
have both amendments made parts of
the tariff bill.
