Senator Simmons expressed his ap preciation. He said tonight: -I am greatly gratified that the. bill has passed, and I think that it will not be long In conference. In my opinion there has been some stagnation of busi ness in the country pending the action of the Senate. Now I believe that there will be an immediate stimulus to busi ness and tnat in the end we will have better times In this country." Thornton Expresses Ilegret.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash, ington, Sept. 9. Four times in the last av Senator Chamberlain voted against placing a duty on raw wool and in voting today for the final pas sage of the Underwood bill he voted to place wool on tne iree iiau ocunvu. Catron today offered as an amendment to the Underwood bill the Democratic wool bill of the last Congress. Impos ing a duty of 20 per cent, which was vetoed by the President thereafter. Chamberlain voted against the Catron amendment today, but when this iden tical provision was passed by the Sen ate July 25. 1912, Senator Chamberlain voted in favor of it. On August IS. following, he voted -to pass that bill over the President's veto. His vote today Is a direct reversal of his posi tion taken Just a year ago. The Congressional Record today shows that Senator Chamberlain yes terday voted against both 'the La Fol lette wool amendments and was not paired against them, as previously re ported. He also voted yesterday against Catron's 35 per cent wool amendment Senator Poindexter voted for Ca tron's wool amendment, after dodging a vote on La Follette's amendments yesterday. His final vote in favor of the passage of the Underwood bill was in conformity with his bargain made with the Democrats, whereby he re ceived .the chairmanship of a small committee at the opening of this ses sion. Senator Lane said tonight he was gratified especially over the acceptance by tho Senate of the amendment re moving the restrictions on the making of denatured alcohal. He said: "This legislation will allow farmers to utilize material now wasted of greater aggregate value than all the coal in the country and the product will furnish the coming fuel and mo tive power supply, while the refuse, after the manufacturing, is valuable as fertilizer." IXDE11WOOD IRGED TO Bl'S Senatorial Aspirations to Depend on Final Fate of Bill. BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. Sept. 9. Urged to become a. candidate for the United States Senatorial term beginning March, 1915, Representative Underwood, chairman of the House ways and means committee, sent the following telegram today from Washington to Victor Hen son, of Birmingham: "I am disposed to enter the race, but feel that my first duty is to stay with the tariff bill until it becomes a law. I am reasonably certain that it will become a law within the next few weeks. Should It fail, it would be my duty to remain in the House. Shortly after the President signs the bill I will make an announcement of my fa- tentions In reference to the Senatorial situation." SECRETARY HE IS ILL SUDDEN" COLLAPSE COMES AT REVIEW OF PARADE.

Secretary of the Interior Lane fell in- a faint while reviewing the Native Sons' Ad mission day parade here today. He had complained of heart trouble before the parade started, and as the pageant was nassiner in review the Secretary sud denly grew dizzy and sank to the ground. . Dr. Frederic Lane, tne secretary hrother. said tonight that a serious out come was not expected.

Yee Gueng, Convicted of Same Of fense, Out on Bail and May Xot Be Retried. After passing through the Supreme Court of Oregon at Salem, the mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States in refusing to interfere in the conviction of Lem Woon, alias Lem Suey, convicted in Portland in 1908 of first-degree murder for killing Lee Tai Hoy, reached County Clerk Coffey's of fice yesterday. This means that in a few days, after a wait of nearly five years, sentence of death-will be pro nounced on the Chinaman a second time. Lem Woon first was sentenced to be hanged in November, 1908, but appeals, . . c .,... r I I - .1 If 1. Tl urst to tne oupremc v and later to the Supreme Court of the United States, served to delay execution of the sentence. Governor West now is the only man who can prevent the imposition of the death penalty. The conviction of Yee Gueng of first degree murder for participation in the same crime was reversed by thei Oregon Supreme Court, biir he has not been brought to trial again. Several months ago. after spending about five years in the County Jail, he was liberated on heavy bond. It Is generally believed that his case eventually will be dis missed. Ralph E. Moody and Henry McGinn, who defended him, always have maintained that he was the "goaf" and should never have been convicted, and in addition, there is the fact that It would be difficult at this time to get the witnesses together and secure another conviction. Lem Woon has been in the County Jail since March 7, 1908. His case went to the United States Supreme Court on a technicality.

PARTY ALIGNMENT QUIETLY CHANGING "Progressives" Drifting Back ,to Old Standard With Little Ostentation. CAMPAIGN ISSUE UNDECIDED Declaration Likely to Be Delayed I'ntil Democrats Have Formed Their Attitude Toward Regu lation ot Trusts. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept." 9. Tho "prolongation of the special session of Congress, re quiring the presence in Washington of practically all Senators and Represen tatives, has .had ' considerable to (Jo with postponing action looking to a reorganization of the Republican par ty, and the men who two months ago were advocating a get-together move ment have been among tthe most active participants In the tariff debate. Without any effort on the part of National leaders, a certain amount of reorganization is taking place stead ily and without attracting much at tention. This is attested by the de clining vote of the "Progressive" par ty, where special or local elections are held, and Is also shown by the an nouncements made from time to time by former Bull Moose leaders that .

It happens that the possible return of Colonel Roosevelt is more disconcerting than encouraging to the men who were so desirous recently of reorganizing the Republican party and, more than anything else, it has dis couraged them in their effort to hasten the Vget-together" movement. Senator Cummins, of Iowa, was one of the first "progressive" Republicans to talk of a reunion of the party, and it was quickly recognized that he took - K ,-., fmm a Hlfish motive. fOT Senator Cummins, having once been stung by the fresiaentiai nee, never recovered from the attack.

Other party leaders seemed to approve tne iaea 01 me re publican National committee of post poning the get-together movement un til next year. , New Issue May Be Taken Up. There are many Republicans who hold that the Republican party must look to some other issue than the tar iff as the basis of reorganization: some issue that will appeal more strongly to the people, and one on which there is better prospect of reaching an agree ment, as for Instance a definite and practical policy of trust control or regulation. It is also true that many Democratic leaders, anticipating such a move on the part of the minority in Congress, are also urging the formula tion of such a policy by their own party, and efforts will be made by them to present an anti-trust policy at the regular session of Congress next Winter. Whether or not a satisfactory and practical policy can be framed and put through will have an Impor tant bearing on the plans of Repub lican reorganization. The Republican party cannot be re organized on the Cummins Presiden tial aspirations alone, or In fact on the aspirations of any other one man. Not even the Roosevelt candidacy would effect a reorganization, tor uiai would alienate much of the old "stand pat" strength, and also a certain Bull Moose element that would resent tho desertion of the third party, created at the specific demand of the Colonel.
