Judge Lovett spent an hour today in consultation with Jacob H. Schlff. bead of Kuan. Loeb & Co, backers f or the road, and with William Averlll Harrl man. son of the late E. H. Harriman. both directors and representing lead ing interests in the road. Bfaay Ways to Use Hoaey. -No final action will be taken on the matter of disposition of the Union's money at the meeting tomorrow." said a director today. "There are almost an unlimited number of ways In which the money obtained in the sale of the Southern Pacific stock can be used. "It has been suggested the road use some of the money to buy in part of its funded debt. Another suggestion is the money would be useful in case the Attorney-General sells the Central Pa cific by forcing the Southern Pacific to part with it One man close to large interests in both the Union and Southern Pacific pointed to the financial condition of the Union as warranting a special dis bursement and asserted that it would be nearer 25 per cent than 10 per cent. He estimated that with a 25 per cent disbursement on S21t.C44.000 common stock, approximately requiring $55,000. 000. the Union Pacific would still have about $90,000,000 In its treasury in ready cash. This amount, he argued, was fully sufficient to care for the needs of the road for several years. TARIFF BACK IN HOUSE Democrats Preparing Special Rule to Check Republican Debate. WASHINGTON.

ORGANIZED ROOTING HIT CALIFORNIA "V" STARTS MOVE TO RESTORE SPONTANEITY. Leaders In Campaign Resent Idea of Having to Await Yell Master'a High Sign to Vent Feeling. BERKELEY. Cal., Sept. 10. (Spe cial.) Organized bleacher cheering ap pears to be doomed at the University of California. California. In taking this action, is following in the steps of Harvard, which placed the, ban on root ing at all intercollegiate contests. Members of the state varsity faculty and prominent undergraduates favor the abolishment of the organized cheering. Carl H. Parker, an instructor in the department of economics and a grad uate student with the class of 1904 has written an article In the Dally Callfornlan, the college organ, against organized "rooting. The title of the article Is "The Undemocratic Spirit of Our Bleachers." The spirit of the communication was strongly supported by Ralph M. Eaton, present editor of the Blue and Gold, and other leading campus men. such as Mansell Griffiths, president of the student body and Frank Partridge, past editor of the Blue and Gold. Dr. Parker is aroused against the cheering methods as at present em ployed because when he attends rallies or lectures he cannot express his sen timents either by clapping or yelling until he is given the high sign by Tell Leader Bert Belleray. President Wheeler's views on the subject are looked for with Interest Organized yelling is purely a Western feature and does not exist In any of the Eastern Institutions.

ONTARIO SITUATED NEAR IDAHO LINE Interstate Bridge Has Doubled Business of Malheur County Town, Says Bennett. PEOPLE LOYAL TO OREGON Little City on Snake River Center ol Wonderfully Active and Pros perous Community, Writes Staff Correspondent. BT ADDISON BENNETT. ONTARIO. Or., Sept. 9. (Staff Cor respondence.) Ontario is situated on the Snake River, in almost the extreme eastern section of Oregon. It being but a half mile or so across the river to Idaho. There Is a bridge across the Snake Just east of town, and a large and prosperous section of Idaho Is tributary and the people thereof do the bulk of their trading here. Indeed, On tario Is almost as much of an Idaho city as an Oregon city so far as loca tion is concerned. But the people are as loyal to Oregon as those who reside In the center of Willamette Valley. This has been well Illustrated during the past month, since the change in schedule by the O.-W. R. & N. and the Short Line. The Oregonlan, under the present time card, reaches here a little after 6 o'clock in the evening of the day of publication, and the people are practically falling over themselves In their eagerness to get on the subscrip tion li3ts. The Boise morning papers reach here about 9 o'clock In the morn ing, but a large number of the citizens await the arrival of "their own paper," The Oregonian, for the news of the day. Ontario Murk Changed. If the reader has ever visited On tario it all depends upon how many months and years have elapsed since the last sight of the place as to wheth er or not you would know It If you came here today. Take the Ontario of three years -ago and compare it with the place today and you would find but little resemblance, none to mention save a few one-story brick business places on Oregon street, the main busi ness street of the place. This street, by the way, runs north and south, not east and west as one might suppose if he came In on the Short Line. For the Snake River, and the Short Line which practically par allels It here, runs almost north and south, though the general course is east and west. Oregon street Is 100 feet wide. It has fine cement curbs and walks and a good macadamized sur face, which Is kept well oiled. In many ways It Is Just as good as one of Port land's best paved streets at a fraction of the cost. For six blocks along Oregon street each side Is practically all occupied by buildings, mostly brick business houses. Three years ago, even two years ago, not over half of the space was built upon, and even at that some of the buildings were unoccupied. Now one finds practically no desirable business places for rent, mighty few of any sort. The greatest change, however, has been made on the cross street two blocks north of the Carter House. This Is the street from which the wagon road leads over the bridge into Idaho. West of Oregon street two fine bricks have gone uo. one, the Hotel Moore, is a five-story structure that will com pare favorably with any building in this portion of the country, not omit ting Boise. Bridge Brings Change. The change that came over Ontario a couple of years ago resulted from the building of the wagon bridge across the Snake. The Legislature of the state of Oregon appropriated $10,000 towards this bridge, the county of Mal heur put up as much and the citizens of Ontario gave another J10.000, the entire $30,000 being spent on the bridge and Its approaches and roads leading thereto. The section tapped across the Snake Is one of the best fruit districts In Idaho or Oregon. Mayor Arthur W. Trow, of Ontario, who Is ever alert to show strangers around, took me in his machine and drove around through the orchards for a distance of 12 or 15 miles and I never beheld a section where there seemed to be greater pros perity. The whole settlement Is like a straggling village. On one section of land, 640 acres, a mile square, there are 33 comfortable dwellings, each dwell ing occupied and Its occupant the own er of from five to 30 acres of surround ing orchard, berry patch or garden. With but a few exceptions the little farms on this section are of 20 acres each. Idaho Trade Large. The road leading across the bridge has a steady stream of teams going and coming. Practically half the trade of Ontario comes across from Idaho. So you can see what sort of a stroke the Ontario people made when they built this bridge and road and annexed this slice of Idaho's territory. Ontario has two banking Institu tions the First National being the old est and most important. It has a capi tal of $50,000, surplus of $50,000, and undivided profits of $8362. Its deposits amount to $383,475. A. H. Cockbrum is president and H. B. Cockbrum, cashier. The Ontario National Is a younger In stitution. It has capital, surplus and undivided profits of $77,000 and de posits of $160,000. J. R. Blackaby is president, M. F. Homan, cashier. There are two good weekly newspa pers published in Ontario, the Ontario Argus being the older. It Is now In Its 16th volume. M. E. Bain Is Its owner and editor. Mr. Bain Is one of the bet ter class of country editors, one who always gets out & clean and newsy sheeW He Is also, as one might expect, one of Ontario's most esteemed citi zens. The Ontario Democrat is in its 12th volume.' and many of those vol umes have been made during stormy periods. Ten years ago "Jake" Gregg was running it. I think he founded it but will not say for sure. "Jake " Is a good printer and a good all-round coun try editor, and he published a good paper. "Plug" was then running the Argus, that being before Mr. Bain's On. tario career began. And I can tell you "Jake" and "Plug" ran two good pa pers, put In their best licks for On tario, Eastern Oregon and the Boise Valley. Then they both sold out to inferior managers and both papers got In the dumps, particularly the Demo crat. Finally Mr. Bain got hold of the Argus and "Jake" took back the Demo crat and now Ontario may well feel pround of her two newspapers. GOMPERS ADMITS LOBBY (Continued From First Page) been an antl-unlon or an anti-labor or ganization. Tide Turned by Parry. "As a matter of fact," he said, "the National Association of Manufacturers was not an anti-labor organization un til D. M. Parry's declaration, in 1903, to the convention of that association at New Orleans. Mr. Parry, as presi dent, bad his report printed. It was a virulent attack on all organized labor, That report ne never reaa ii iuo tuu vention at New Orleans. From that time the association became anti-labor and, antl-unlon." Representative Willis asked Mr. Gompers what relation the American Federation bore to the Knights or Labor. .. . "The relation," Mr. Gompers repuea, between a living human organism and a corpse.

I said I did not and he said he w.ould show me. Liquor Used In Campaign. "So I went with my friend one night and he took me up two flights of stairs in a building where I saw a large num ber of men hanging or sitting around in greater or lesser degrees of in ebriety. None of them seemed to know me. We seemed to have the entree. They all seemed to imagine that I came to indulge with them and I remained there long enough to see liquor freely handed around." Gompers said the Federation spent $8147 In political work in the campaign of 1906 and $8469 in that of 1908. Much of this money went for speakers and lor postage used In the distribution of campaign literature.. He put In the record a detailed statement of receipts and expenditures since the Federation's organization and tomorrow will itemize the political expenditures in campaigns after 1910. Legislative Committee Paid. In 1308, the witness said, the Fed eration campaigned in 11 states he could remember and probably worked In -more, employing about 25 speakers and holding many mass meetings. The legislative committee here, he said, consisted of Arthur Holder,. John A. Moffett and Grant Hamilton, each of whom received $6 a day and was In the service the entire year on legis lative work. Mr. Gompers gave a long explanation of labor's fight for an elght-hour day on Government work. "Do you think It right that the law shall provide that a man shall not con tract for more than eight hours a day service?" asked Chairman Garrett. ."I think," the witness replied, "when a citizen is so regardless of his rights and welfare that he does not look out for himself, it is time for the Govern ment to intercede and protect his life. When men work more than eight hours they do so at the expense of their fel lows." WESTERN FUEL FIGHTS SECRETARY, REFUSING TO GIVE TJP BOOKS, ARRESTED. Sentenced to Cell Until Court's Man date Is Obeyed, Norcrosa Begins Battle of Legal Points. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 10. (Spe cial.) (Daviu C. Norcross, secretary of the Western Fuel Company, sentenced by Federal Judge Dooling to the Ala meda County Jail, to remain imprisoned until he obeys the mandate of the court to produce the books and records of the company before the Federal grand Jury, was taken Into custody today by the United States Marshal. Norcross sur rendered himself Just before noon. He was accompanied by his attorney, on whose advice he ignored Judge Doo llng's order which resulted in contempt proceedings against him and the com pany. While Norcross was detained in Marshall Elliott's office his attorneys sought his release through a writ of habeas corpus. His application was de nied by Judge Dooling. The defense then filed an appeal from the order with the Circuit Court of Appeals. The, attorney for the defendant also filed a writ of error In the contempt Judg ment against Norcross and the West ern Fuel Company, which was fined $2000 for Ignoring Judge Dooling's oom mand to produce the books. Norcross was later released on $5000 bond and the company obtained a post ponement pending the decision of the Circuit Court. At the conclusion of today's proceed ings Attorney Knight for the company said he was prepared to carry the fight for the retention of the books and records in question to the United States Supreme Court If necessary. It Is ex pected that the fuel company matter will be made a special order in tne Appellate Court, and that a decision will be handed down within two weeks. The.

"About twenty years ago both my legs began to itch from ankle to knee, kit tle pimples came out that looked very much like heat. The itching and burn lno was som ethlng terrible. I would start to scratch and could not stop. I would even scratch through the skin and that, of course, would leave a sore which I was compelled to bandage. "I tried several prescriptions and treatments, but received not a particle of benefit no more than if the treat ments were cold water. I then began to have very little faith in anything and, of course, could do nothing but scratch away. After suffering con stantly for twenty years, a friend rec dmmended Reslnol Soap and Resinol Ointment. From the very first appli cation I found relief, and was entirely cured in ten days. The itching and stinging sensations have ceased and my skin is as smooth as a child's." (Signed) Charles Warner, 1123 N.
