WASHINGTON'. Sept. 23. The Demo.
rratic tariff revision bill, first on the
programme of reforms mapped out
when President Wilson came into
office, advanced to its last Congres
sional stage today when It was brought
back to the House from the Joint con
ference with the unanimous Indorse
ment of the Democratic conferees.
Leaders In both houses of Congress
were confident tonight that the bill,
virtually complete now, would be
signed by President Wilson before the
end of this week.
It will scarcely leave the center of
the stage before the currency bill, next
in line, will be forced on the attention
of the country, and, coincident with the
consideration of this, will begin the
Administration work on the anti-trust
and railroad-control programmes that
are to be brought forward when the
December session opens.
Cotton Futures Alone Debated.
The tariff conference report went
to the House today soon after that
body convened at noon. During the
morning the full conference committee,
convened by Chairman Simmons, had
given the report its formal approval.
Senators Simmons, Williams, John
ion and Shlvely and Representatives
Underwood, K Itch In. Dixon and Ratney.
the Democrats who ha, ve adjusted nil
differences between the Senate and
House, excepting only the cotton fu
tures tax proposition, signed the final
if port, while the Republicans and Pro
gressive members declined to sign.
The House will take up the House
tariff bill at 11 o'clock tomorrow and It
is believed It will be passed before ad
journment. It is expected to reach the
Senate Wednesday and to pass that
body by Thursday.
The cotton futures tax still Is in dis
pute, the House refusing to accept the
so-called Clarke amendment adopted by
the Senate. Expressions today from the
White House and from Congressional
leaders, however, indicated that In the
final conference over this feature the
whole plan might be dropped from the
tariff bill and taken up as a separate
measure next Winter.
Gronllc Surplus Predicted.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
Senate finance committee, gave out to
night the- first complete estimates of
Federal revenues and expenditures un
der the new tariff bill, as made up by
the experts for the Treasury. The
total estimates are as follows:
For the year ending July 1, 1914:
Receipts, 11,029,000.000: expenditures,
II, 013,000,000; surplus, 116,000,000.
For the year ending July 1, 1915:
Receipts. $1,026,000,000: expenditures,
$1,008,000,000; surplus. $18,000,000.
The estimated receipts under the
customs tariff, the income tax and the
corporation tax, embraced in the new
tariff are given as- follows:
For 1914:
Customs revenues. $270,000,000; In
come tax (ten months), $66,000,000; cor
poration tax. $38,000,000.
For 1915:
Customs revenues. $249,000,000; in
come tax. $53,000,000; corporation tax,
$39,000,000.
t Rates Effective by July 1.
The customs revenues will be larg
er for the current fiscal year, 1914."
said Senator Simmons, "because the
rates of the Payne-Aldrich law have
been in force for the first quarter and
will continue in force on wool and
woolen goods until January 1 and on
sugar until March 1. When the next
fiscal year begins. July 1, 1914. all the
rates of the new law will be In opera
ation and the tariff duties -collected
will be smaller.
"The income tax, which is collected
for the calendar year, can be collected
for only 10 months of the present year,
as the law specifies that collection
shall not go back of March 1, 1913.
The estimated increase in the total ex
penditures of the Government for 1915,
$5,000,000, Is based on the fact that
smaller expenditures are expected for
the Army and Navy than estimated."
The balance total of the estimate, as
given In the Treasury estimates, is
made up of postal receipts, internal
revenue receipts, the profits from pub
lic land sales and other sources of
Federal income.

Court Directs Temporary In

"BILL DEFEATS ITSELF'
Opinion, Caustic at Times, Says Pro
visions of Draft Are Incongruous
and Irreconcilable, Violat-
ing- Rights of Carriers.
The so-called Medford rate bill, which
was adopted by the people under the
initiative on November 5, 1912, and
which made 'eeplng changes in
Viiar1 OiOIlt state, has been de-
H1 onal and void in a
ty " Judges Wolverton and
Bean, of the United States District
Court in Portland, and Judge Gilbert,
of the United States Court of Appeals
in San Francisco, before whom, sitting
en banc, it was argued a little more
than seven months ago.
The decision was announced yester
day In an opinion written and delivered
from the bench by Judge Wolverton.
All three Judges fully concurred in
every aspect of the decision, Judge
Wolverton said:
Measure Made Target.
Almost Immediately after its passage
the measure became a target for traf
fic men and shippers all over the state.
It was declared that if permitted to be
come effective the law would put many
roads out of business, and that in order
to live, the other roads would have to
raise rates generally on shipments of
carload lots or more.
The measure has been generally re
ferred to as the "Medford" rate bill
because of charges that It was prepared
and placed on the ballot In the selfish
Interests of Medfdrd merchants. Frank
H. McCune was tts author.
Appealed to by railroad men and
shippers for relief against what It was
declared would be a disa-ster to the
state If permitted to go Into effect, the
Federal Court granted a temporary in
junction against the operation of tho
act shortly after Its passage. The
court directs that the injunction be
made permanent, in yesterday's de
cision. Opinion Shnrp at Time.
Judge Wolverton's opinion is caustic
at times in its reference to the act and
its framing.

BY. ADDISON BIJNNETT.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 29. (Special.)
A glorious day! This morning the 52d
State Fair was opened in ideal weather
and In better condition than any of the
former fairs. Oldtimers, who have at
tended from 20 to 5u lairs, say that to
day's opening exeeeded all other first
days in many respects, but chiefly in
the number and quality of the entries.
To be sure, there was a little litter to
clean up, a little arranging and fur
bishing to receive attention, but by
noon about everything was ready for
the visitors, and the attendance was far
ahead of that for many years on the
opening day.
One of the greatest contests ever wit
nessed between two counties for the
best county display is being played out
between Douglas and Benton counties.
Benton always has a magnificent ei
hibit, varied in extent and products
and admirably displayed, and the Ben
ton people often go home with the
bacon rather, the blue ribbon. Per
haps they will again this year. But
the Douglas County exhibit surely is a
wonder. If it could be transferred in
tact, say to the State of New York
where hundreds of thousands could see
it, there would be a greater demand
for Oregon farm lands than ever be
fore, . . .
Booth Festooned In Corn.
In the booth are 62 varieties of fruit,
42 of garden truck, S6 of, grain and
grasses and 15 of pumpkins and
squashes. These are all admirably dis
played, artistically placed. But the
chief charm lies in the wonderfully ef
fective covering of the tooth and the
festooning of its front, which is all of
corn stalks with the large ears opened
up by throwing back the husks.
This corn (and Douglas County has
3000 acres of it this year) would startle
a man from the corn sections of Illi
nois or Missouri. Many of the stalks
are more than 14 feet in length, one or
two 14 feet, 9 inches, and three fine

San Diego Heiress Declares She Has

SAN DIEGO, Cal.. Sept. 29. (Spe
cial.) Lieutenant - Commander J. n.
Freeman, of the cruiser Pittsburg, now
enroute to San Francisco, announced
his engagement to Miss Josephine
Smith, niece of Mrs. Parker Syms, of
Coronado, before 150 guests on the
Pittsburg last Saturday evening. The
following afternoon Miss Smith denied
her engagement to the United States
Naval officer with as much. If not
more, emphasis than that with which
he had announced it I have absolutely
no intention of marrying Lieutenant
Freeman," said Miss Smith yesterday.
"He acted entirely upon his own inl
tiative in announcing the engagement.
The story Is too long to tell."
Miss Smith said that she was
guest at Lieutenant-Commander Free
man's party on the Pittsburg Saturday
but she would not give any informa
tion on the subject of the engagement
and the result is the friends are in a
state of utter perplexity. Lieutenant
Freeman, or "Frisky," as he is known
to his intimate friends, is considered a
most able officer. Eight years ago
he brought a torpedo fleet of six boats
around the Horn and up the Pacific
Coast. The officer was believed to be
a confirmed bachelor and the an
nouncement of his engagement came
as a great surprise to his friends.
Freeman, who has been known as
"man's man," is considered a splendid
type of the young naval officer.
Miss Smith, one of the younger set
in Coronado. has been living with her
aunt, Mrs. Syms. and has been a prom
inent figure In Santiago and Coronado
society. Her parents, it is said, are
wealthy and well-known on the Coast.
She herself is wealthy, being the heir
ess of her late uncle. Admiral Smith,

Have Lent Sulzer $26,000
While in Congress.
ALBANY. N. Y.. Sept 29. Governor
Sulzer won a triple victory today over
his accusers at his trial on Impeach
ment. Presiding Judge Cullen, of the high
court, barred the introduction of evi
dence Intended to prove that the Gov
ernor has made a corrupt political ar
rangement with Assemblyman Patrle,
of Greene County, and held that the
testimony brought forward to show
that he had made similar bargains with.
Assemblyman Sweet, of Oswego County,
and Assemblyman Prime, of Essex, was
Incompetent.
The Legislation had to do in each
case with highway and bridge improve
ments provided for in bills passed by
the Governor's signature. In the Patrle
case, however, no charges were brought
In the articles of Impeachment and
on this ground Judge Cullen threw
the charge out.
Primary Bill Involved.
The Sweet and Prime cases were
specified in article VII of the im
peachment charging that the Gov
ernor had vetoed one and signed the
other bill. One Assemblyman had failed
to support the Governor's direct pri
mary bill and the other did so after
consulting Sulzer. the managers
charged.
Assemblyman Sweet testified tolay
that when he urged the Governor to
approve his bill, he was asked whether
he had voted for the direct primary
bill, which had been defeated Jn the
regular session of the Legislature.
"I told him I voted against it," said
the witness.
The primary bill was to come up
again at the extraordinary session in
July- and the Governor wanted to know
how Sweet proposed to vote at that
time. Sweet said he replied: "Accord
ing to the sentiment and ill the In
terest of my district.".
To this, according to Sweet, the Gov
ernor replied with advice to see his
personal counsel, Valentine Taylor, and
"smooth him the right way."
"Did you smooth him?" asked At
torney Brackett, of counsel for the im
peachment managers.
"Smoothing" Slot Require!.
"I didn't have to." replied the witness
who explained that Taylor had sent him
to John H. Delancy, chairman of the
department of efficiency, who pre
pared a favorable report on nis diu.
"What happened to your bill " asked
Attorney Brackett.
"It was vetoed." replied the witness.
"How did you vote on the primary
bill at the regular session?"
The defense objected to the ques
tion.
'Objection sustained," ruled Judge Lui-
len. "He lias already saia ne vuieu
against the bill and if this witness
was already against the bill it showed
he did not receive the price of a cor
rupt bargain."
On practically the same grounus
Judge Cullen held that the charges in
connection with the Prime case like
wise were invalid. The difference waa
that at a regular session of the Legis
lature it is understood Prime did not
vote at all.
Prosecution Near End.
With the introduction of evidence of
three more campaign contributions not
reported in the Governor's sworn state
ment of campaign receipts ana oi more
vldence concerning the Governors al
leged Wall-street speculations, the As
sembly managers drew near the end
of their case today. It was announced
that with the calling of possibly two
more contributors and one or two oth
er witness" . tomorrow. the case
against the Ocvernor probably would
be completed.
The long missing Frederick L. Col-
well, the Governors alleged "dummy''
in Wall-street transactions, Is In a
sanitarium, according to counsel for the
Governor, but will consent to testify
as the Governor's witness under stip
ulation that he not be placed under
arrest for refusing to obey the sub
pena of the Frawley investigating com
mittee. Counsel for the managers had
not decided tonight whether to agree
to this stipulation.
If a subpena can be served upon him.
J. B. Gray, of the Stock Exchange firm

Is alleged to have speculated with some
of his campaign contributions, will be
