TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1914. LANEHQLDS DREDGE PLANS IH ABEYANCE Senator Not to Press Amend ment Which Chamber of Commerce Abandons. TASK REGARDED AS FUTILE V Am ly Engineers' Opposition Counted Serious Blow Effort to I5c Kcnetvoil Xe.t Winter if Cliinook Is Success. OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, March 1. In view of the fac that the Portlanu Chamber of Com merce, speaking through J. X. Teal has derided to abandon the effort to secure an appropriation this session for a dredge to bo ueed at the mouth or the. Columbia Kiver, Senator Lane will not press his amendment to the river and harbor bill which calls for an ap proprlation of Jl, 500,000. Senator Iane was firmly -of the opin ion that dredging at the mouth of the Columbia River should proceed while work on the jetty was in progress, and he was convinced that the results ob tained bv the Chinook last Summer .fully justified the prompt construction of a larger and more suitable dredge. Inasmuch, however, as the Chamber of Commerce is content to let the dredge project go over for a year, and inas much as the Army engineers are op posed to an appropriation this session for a dredge. Senator Lane thinks it would be useless to press his amend ment. That .view is held also by Sen ator Chamberlain. Army Onpoxltion Fatal. ' "If I should press my amendment," eaid Senator Lane, "the Army engineers would come to the Senate with their protest; they would tell the committee that it had not been demonstrated that dredging was feasible at the mouth of the Columbia, and they would also stand by the contention, which they make in private conversation, that the depth of water on the Columbia River bar at the point where the Chinook op erated last Summer is actually less to day than when the Chinook started dredging. "Any such contention Is utterly ab surd, of course, but when the officers of the Army Engineer Corps, who are supposed to know all about river and harbor improvements, assure Congress that dredgins is actually a detriment to river Improvements rather than a help, there is not one chance in a thou sand of getting an appropriation for a new dredge. I might present all man ner of records to prove that dredging has been beneficial fmil my proof would count for nothing as against data sub mitted by Army engineers. Chamber's Conclusion Accepted. "The Portland Chamber of Commerce having assumed responsibility for post poning action on the dredge bill. probably will let the matter rest with out any attempt to secure its adoption when the. river and harbor bill comes up in the Senate. Personally, I believt that the dredge should be authorized. Under the circumstances as they have developed any attempt to secure the adoption of my amendment this session would probably result in failure and the dredge project would get a black eye. "If at the next session the Army en glneers make good their promise to recommend a dredge, providing opera tions of the Chinook are successful this Summer, it will be easier to get the appropriation next Winter than If we nave an adverse vote of Congress on record to explain away."

AVIATOR WHO BARELY - ' f t-jto i ' - -f "V MXCOIS E Aviator Falls 1600 Feet, but Rights Biplane Near Earth. ACCIDENT FOLLOWS LOOP Machine Plunges and Flounders in Air While Santa Barbara Crowd Thinks Antics Arc Stunt. Birdman Slightly Hurt. SANTA BARBARA. Cal., March 1. While "looping the loop" here today, Lincoln Beachy, the aviator, lost con trol of his biplane and fell 1600 feet, but managed to right himself 400 feet from the ground, and escaped with slight injuries. His machine crashed into a tree and snapped its trunk, but is expected to be in shape for flying again after a few comparatively minor repairs. The aviator was at a height of 2000 feet when he made a loop. , His biplane then pointed its nose toward the earth and made a spiral dip. All the specta tors thought this was intended, but it was not, for the machine already was beyond Beachey's control. For 100 feet more, the biplane fell slde-w'ays, completing a circle, then floundered, dipped and came downv at an agle, with the engine working per fectly. The biplane had its propeller in front, with the aviator's seat in the cockpit, monoplane fashion.. It was a new machine being tried out.

Result Accomplished 14 Ways. "The agreements referred to present 14 distinct methods by which the lines seek to control competition, either through the fixing and regulation of rates, the apportionment of traffic, the pooling of earnings, or the elimination of non-conference lines. "With reference to the domestic trade the facts show that competition in rates between steamship lines has been as effectively eliminated as in the foreign trade. In this trade, how ever, written or formal agreements are rare apparently having been scrupu lously avoided and the elimination of competition in rates has been accom plished by other methods. Nearly three-fourths of the tonnage operated in the American coastwise and local lakes trade is owned or controlled by railroads and shipping consolidations." Meskill Mill Interest Sold. CENTRALIA.

SOP TO FARMERS BE DELAYED Tangle Over Trust Bills Menaces- Measure to Make Rural Credits Easier. TARIFF SPOT VULNERABLE Democratic Leaders Feel Placing of Many Products of Soil on Free List Calls for Atonement Ere Campaign Opens. , WASHINGTON, March 1. Trust leg islation and a new law to enhance rural credits before adjournment of Congress are the only measures on the "must" list of the Administration for the permanent session of Congress, was made known today. This excepts the necessary appropriation bills, which are now rapidly being dis posed of. Should Congress get into a tangle over the trust bills and prolong the session until campaign leaders at home begin to cry for help, some party lead ers believe the rural credits bill might be put over until next session. When the currency law was. passed many promises were made that it would be followed by legislation to help the credit of the farmer, and although no declaration was made that such a law would be concluded at the present ses sion, criticism of the Republicans di rected at placing farm products on the free list demands, in the opinion of many Democrats, that action on be half of the farmers should be taken as soon as possible. Tolls Compromise Not in Sight. A bill to repeal the toll exemption provision of the Panama Canal act probably will be introduced within 10 days by Representative Adamson chairman of the Interstate Commerce committee. It will offer no compro mise whatever in the situation and is certain to provoke opposition both in the House and Senate. The immigration bill, which has passed the House and is to be reported from the Senate committee this week, also will be urged to a conclusion. Senator Ashurst has given notice that he will press the constitutional amendment for equal suffrage in the Senate, but his efforts to fix a time for voting on it will be opposed by Demo crats and Republicans alike. The con stitutional amendment for prohibition probably will not be taken up at this session. The trust bills, it is now apparent. will require considerable more time in perfecting than originally anticipated March 1 was set a month ago as the time for beginning consideration of the proposed Administration bills, but not one of the bills proposed is ready for consideration in either branch. Growing opposition to measures which would supplement the Sherman act, such as the tentative trade regu latlons and monopoly definitions bills, may result in abandoning these meas ures altogether. M'aterpowtr Bill Nearly Ready. A general dam and waterpower bill s being formulated in the House in terstate commerce committee and it probably will be ready within a fort night to report to the House. .The committee designs to keep within the lines recommended by President Wil son and to frame it so as to avoid any possibility of constitutional objections and practically any suggestion of Fed eral invasion into s'tate affairs. The purpose is to induce private cap ital to promote navigation in shallow streams through hope of profit from the ub6 of the waterpower generated. The agricultural appropriation bill. aggregating $19,000,000, shunted off to morrow by District of Columbia leg islation, comes up Tuesday with pros pect of many speeches; the rivers and harbors bill, carrying $43,280,000, is next, with the naval bill, involving $140,000,000 and the always debatable battleship programme, following. Plans to reorganize the scheme of government of Porto Rico are under way in the House committee on insular affairs. National University Approved. The project for a National univer- ity is meeting with almost unanimous approval In the House committee on education, which tomorrow will resume hearings on the Foss bill to provide for the establishment of such an institu tion at the National capital. xnree uig Hearings are piauncu 101 Tuesday. Both sides in the fight for the woman suffrage constitutional amendment will open anew their battle before the House judiciary committee; the rules committee will havo a public hearing on the Manahan resolution to nvestigate charges that the Chicago and Duluth Boards of Trade and the Miuneapolis Chamber of Commerce-con trol the country's grain market, and a general bill to regulate grazing on tne ubllc domain will be under discussion t a hearing before the public lands committee.

At Fort Bliss, General Hugh L. Scott, who appointed Davidson and Manly to assist in the examination of Benton's body, said they had no information further than that the medical men had been notified to be at the train at 9 o'clock and that later they repored to him that they were not going.

Ben ton, their subject executed by General Villa at Juarez, will be made by the commission composed of American and British government representatives, pending the outcome of an exchange of notes between General Carranza, chief of the' Mexican constitutionalists, and the United States Government. - General Carranza's declaration that Great Britain Instead of the United States should deal with him concern ing the death of a British subject. coupled with the broad intimation that all communications in international af fairs should be first addressed to him instead of to General Villa or any of his subordinates, injected a new com plication into the situation, and the expedition to Chihuahua, arranged to start from El Paso today, was post poned. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan had a conference lasting most of the afternoon reading the notes from Car ranza and other dispatches. Afterward Secretary Bryan went to the British Embassy and informed Sir Cecil Spring- Kice, British Ambassador, that the ex pedition to Chihuahua, where Benton's body is buried, had been abandoned uwtil satisfactory arrangements could be made with General Carranza. ' SPANIARD'S CASE TAKEX VP Carranza Expected to Take Same 'Stand as in Benton Case. ' NOGALES, Sonora. Mex.. March 1. ine Mate Department at Washington took up today with General Carranza the difficulty of a Spanish subject named Ruiz in territory controlled by the Constitutionalists. While the Con- situtionallst commander-in-chief has not answered the communication, it is understood that his reply would be similar to that made about the case of w. b. Benton, a British subject, in which information was refused the Washington Government on the ground that the representation should have been made by English officials. General Carranza was to have left to morrow on his trip to Chihuahua by way of Cananea, but it was announced that he would not go for several days. It was explained that the recent deal ing with the Washington Government over the complaints of foreigners In Mexico had created a condition which the Insurgent chief did not wish to leave unsettled. The message from Secretary Bryan regarding the Spaniard. Ruiz, had been sent before the receipt at Washington of General Carranza's note in the Ben- on case. Ruiz represented the own ers of a large quantity of tobacco which had been confiscated, by the in surgent officials of Tepic territory, ac cording to the information received at Washington. Since Spain had recognized the Huerta central government, its posi tion in dealing directly with the Con stitutionalist officials would become as difficult as that of England. It was asserted by officials here that com plaints regarding the treatment of any foreigners must come through the dip lomatic agents of their governments. The opinion was expressed semi-offl-cially that the assurances of General Carranza that he would investigate the case of Gustav Rauch, an American who" had disappeared at Juarez, and his expression of regret at the incident, would be sufficient assurance to the Washington Government of the friend liness of the Mexican insurgents. There seemed to be some diversity of opinion as to whther the Benton inci dent would complicate the relation of Latin-American nations to the Monroe doctrine of the United States. Much eagerness was demonstrated by those surrounding Carranza for news from Washington regarding the manner in which tho recent notes of General Car ranza had been received.- Kelso Cliild la Drowned.
