COMPROMISE IS POSSIBLE Opponents of Administration Center Efforts on Amendment of Rule, Thus Offering Way for Amendment of Bill. WASHINGTON, March 26. The greatest legislative battle " yet under taken by President Wilson's Adminis tration was begun today with the pre sentation of a special rule In the House to limit debate and prohibit amendment of the Administration's proposal to re peal the provision of the Panama Canal act allowing free passage to American ships. For two hours the rule was alter nately defended and attacked In heated debate in the House. When adjourn ment came, with an hour of debate on the rule left for tomorrow. Speaker Clark, who had not yet announced his position on the repeal policy, issued a statement vigorously opposing the rule. Speaker Opposes "Mad Rush," ."Surely there is nothing . sacred about this repeal bill, and there is no reason for this mad rush," Speaker Clark said In his statement "I will not be a Dartv to ramming such a rule . down the throats of members." An extraordinary attendance of members .was on the floor when tho 'rule was presented. Galleries and floor were crowded. Throngs or spectators occupied the stairways and overflowed into the corridors. The' legislative way finally was cleared and at 4 o'clock Representative Henry, chairman of the rules commit tee, presented the rule limiting debate n the Sims bill to 20 hours and pre cluding amendment, except for a single motion to recommit. Brief argument brought about agreement for three hours' debate on the rule. Real Issue Overshadows Rule. Representative Henry explained the rule and launched into a defense of the repeal bill. Then- followed an argu ment in which the rule received little attention as compared-with the merits of the measure and the President's for eign policy, the right of the American Government to exercise control of tha canal it has built and the economic ad visability of free tolls for American ships were dragged' back and forth into the discussion. The foreign situation was the par ticular subject for most of the speak ers. The President's adherents who spoke, all Democrats, asserted that under the treaty the United States had no moral right to pass its ships free. His opponents, . Republicans and Pro gressives, attacked the foreign--policy of the Administration and denounced the proposed repeal as an "abject sur render to Great Britain." Throughout the discussion Majority leader Underwood, for the first time opposing the Administration, sat quiet ly in his seat listening to the argument Republican Leader Mann and Pro gressive Leader Murdock both made arguments against, the rule and the bill. . . . Administration Seeks Recruits. Administration leaders tonight vigor ously sought to keep their supporters in line and to obtain recruits. The opposition directed its efforts to pro curing votes to defeat a motion to close debate on the rule, which will be made after an hour's debate tomorrow and which, if beaten, would allow the amendment of the rule. In this situa tion, the opponents of the bill would attempt to open the Sims bill to amend ment and might secure the adoption of a compromise amendment, repealing the tolls, section without surrendering the ' contention that the United States under the treaties has the right to grant free tolls. Speaker Clark's " statement tonight encouraged the opponents of. the rule and Representative Sims, author of the repeal bill, later issued a statement de claring: - - "I have heard that there will be an organized effort by enemies of the Ad. ministration, both in and it of the Democratic party, to defeat the motion for the previous question on the rule tomorrow. The object of this would be simply to allow embarrassing amend ments to be offered to the bill. A vote against the previous question will be practically a vote against the bill." Speaker Clark's statement read:, j "I am dead against the rule on the tolls question and intend to vote against it. I led the fight to liberalize the rules' and practices of the House, thereby imperilling my political future. We won that long and bitter fight and it was the first Democratlo victory in 18 years. Time and time again, 1 de clared that I would not advocate a thing when in the minority that -1 would not advocate in the majority. "The Democrats won the House in 1910, the first time in 16 years. I was unanimously nominated for Speaker and -duly elected by every Democratic vote in the House with the hearty good will of every Republican, because they believe that I am a. truthful man. In cyder to liberalize the rules and prac tices of the House. - I voluntarily re linquished a large portion of the pow ers of the'Speaker, which I could have retained by making a fight, but I hon-. est. 'Believed that .the Speaker had too jnach power nnder the old system for the good of the House and of our institutions. - "Among ofner thing's I declared that I was in favor of throwing bills open to ample discussion and amendment and I am going to keep the faith. If I were to vote for the pending rule, . I could not look the House in the face. avoid the direct relinquishing of the right to discriminate in favor - of American ships under the treaties. The resolution went over until to morrow. . - v . . . Speaker Hotly Criticised. The Speaker's statement aroused widespread discussion among both fac tions. The President's supporters im mediately issued statements in reply. Representative Shirley, of Itentucky, said: x "The nature of the rule has been known for days. It is surprising to say the least that the. Speaker should have seen fit to attack .the rule only after It was ottered and the, lines of battle drawn. : We who- are supporting a Democratic Administration, upholding the Nation's honor, will not be deterred by an eleventh-hour assault by the Speaker, particularly when for the first time he has seen fit to show his true colors in opposition to the measure and to the Democratic, party. Representative Henry, of Texas, chairman of the rules. committee, issued statement in which he attacked the Speaker for opposing the rule. at this late hour, and said: "Of course, any sensible man knows that he is now fixing to jump squarely into the camp of the President s ene mies. Instead of opposing rules, non essentials in this great conflict he should reveal his real sympathies, and march boldly over to the standard of the railroad and ship monopoly." CALIFORNIA FOLK UNITE FORMER RESIDENTS OF GOLDEJf STATE FORM SOCIETY. Enthusiasm Marks Initial Meeting of 200 at Commercial Clnb and the "California Way" Is Evident. With much enthusiasm and . under the most auspicious circumstances the California Society of Oregon held its Inception last night in the Rosarian room at the Commercial . Club, when nearly 200 loyal . native sons and daughters of the Golden State .met to perfect organization. - With characteristic California enter prise the society lost no time In proc ess of organization .and by the time of adjournment had adopted a constitu tion and by-laws, elected-a temporary chairman and secretary, provided for the appointment of a committee of five to attend the luncheon of the Progres sive Business Men's Club at noon to day and decided upon another meeting win-in a xoriii-gni. The meeting was called to order by Attorney Frank H. Hilton, the orig inator of the society idea, who ex plained the purpose , of the gathering and read congratulatory telegrams from President Moore, and other offi cials of the Panama Pacific Exposi tion and from the directors of the San Diego fair. By acclamation Mr. Hil ton was elected temporary chairman and Monroe Goldstein, Deputy County Clerk, temporary secretary. That the necessity of introductions might be obviated every attendant at the meeting upon entering the hall was required to sign a slip provided and pin the diminutive placard so that it could be easily read. By this pro cedure it required but little time for everyone to become acquainted. While called primarily for business purposes the meeting was not lacking in entertainment features, an excep tionally attractive programme having' been prepared. '- Master Roger Shea and little Miss Dorothy Lyons came in for much applause by the charming man ner in which they went through the in tricacies of a Colonial Minuet. Ray mond Branion was heard to advantage in several baritone solos, the bugle corps of the Third Regiment Oregon National Guard sounded several of the military calls and Miss Harriet and Florence Leach sang. The latter sing ers so pleased the Californians that upon motion, they were, made the adopted daughters of the society. The membership in the California So ciety is not limited to native-born Cali fornians, but any former resident of the state may Join. The committee appointed by Chair man Hilton to attend the Progressive Business Men's luncheon yesterday con sisted of Alfred L. Parkhurst, Dr. Wil liam O. Spencer, F. D. Beal, A. L. Ash ley, Frank H. Hilton and Monroe Goldstein. It is the purpose of the new organi zation to boost the Panama Pacific and San Diego expositions, assist Califor- lans coming to Oregon. to locate, pro mote social intercourse among the members of the society, and take an active interest in local civic affairs..

" ' tional in Aspect. LIQUOR LAW VIOLATED FIRST ARREST MADE AT OREGON CITY UNDER EW ORDLNAIfCE. All Great Bills Affected. When I made that statement I was speaking particularly ' of tariff bills, but my statement is equally applicable to all great bills. Here is the situa tion: We have a rule reported on a bill In the greatest question presented in ray 20 years in the House, besides which tariff bills sink Into pitiable in significance, a bill, which if passed, will change our foreign policy which we have maintained for 125 years and only 20 hours for debate are permitted under this proposed rule and the right to amend is absolutely prohib ited. On Buch an important and far reaching measure there should have been at least a week for debate, with the unlimited right of amendment Surely there is nothing sacred about the Sims bill and there Is no reason for this mad rush. I will not be a party to ramming such a rule down the throats of members." In the Senate the day's activity on the toll question was limited to the introducition of a resolution proposed by Senator Lewis. This would provide that the amount and payment of tolls, to be assessed equally upon the ships of all nations, "shall be regulated by the Secretaries of War and the Treas ury, with the approval of the Presi dent" ' This, it .was pointed put would J.

(Special.) That Fred A. Scamerhorn, of Sandy, Or., who came here, as he claims, to meet his wife and found her married to another man, is not an Enoch Arden at all but is crazy, is the assertion of Mrs. Herman Young, the woman who he claims is his wife. She Hays" he gave evidences of Insanity when she knew him in Montana and that his conduct here has. proved It. Herman Otto L.

They had been snipped from Lyons, qn the .Corvallis & Eastern,' 28 miles east of Albany, to Fort Rock, in Southern Oregon. The potatoes were In 48-pound sacks. . . . SAN FRANCISCO. March 26. (Spe cial.) Har Dyal, Hindu scholar, ar rested Wednesday night by immigra tion officials, was closeted many hours today with Immigration Inspector Ains worth at Angel Island and opportunity was given him to show -cause why he should not be deported as an undesir able alien. At the conclusion of the hearing Dyal was allowed to go free under bonds of $1000, supplied by friends, although following the formality of arrest on Wednesday, he had been released on his own recognizance. The case of Har Dyal, admitted ad vocate of open rebellion against what he terms "the tyranny of British rule in India," and former professor of his native philosophy at Leland Stanford Jr., University, is in the eyes of the Government of important international significance. Involving principles of tne greatest weight Inciting Articles Not Denied. Dyal was confronted with excerpts from several of his own addresses on the Indian situation and the revolu tiohary movement In Russia and with clippings attributed to him from Re bellion, a Hindu paper printed in San Francisco. While he did not dispute their authorship, Dyal contended he was within his rights in his methods of inciting revolt of Hindus. "My mission to Americans is that of an educator," he said, "and I have no desire to inflame the minds of your countrymen against their Government I ant teaching a new sympathetic sys tem of philosophy and working in the interests of labor during such time as I can spare from my principal work. that of liberating Hindus from tyranny." An important phase of the hearing, and one which adds to its international significance, was revealed by a series of questions as to the authorship of a letter written on paper bearing the monogram of Leland Stanford, Jr., Uni versity, recently introduced as evidence at Dehll, India, in the trial of several high caste Hindus charged with sedi tion. Presence Regarded as Dangerous! While there is no charge or direct evidence that Har Dyal wrote or knew of the writing of this letter. Govern ment officials believe that because of his great Intimacy with all Hindus in America and his influence over them, he is a dangerous man to be allowed to remain in this country. Whether anything, was gleaned during the hear ing which throws light upon this end oT the tangle was not learned, but it was intimated that important evidence was expected before the case is closed. Dyal, too, asserted that he would have more testimony to offer in his defense before the transcript was for warded to the Secretary of Labor at Washington, -and said that one feature of it would be a copy of a pamphlet written by William Jennings Bryan in 1908, when he was candidate for tho Presidency. , - Bryan Denunciation Cited. "Perhaps," said Xiyal, "as Secretary of State, Mr. Bryan may have changed his opinions on the matter, but his statements at that time form a scath ing denunciation of British rule in India." Dyal wars arrested on a warrant is sued by the Secretary of Labor on evi dence submitted, by local inspectors in compliance with section 3 of the immi gration law, which provides: "Anarchists, or persons who believe in anarchy or the overthrow of the Government of the United States or all government and all forms of law, or the assassination of public officials shall be deported."

A TONIC FOR DYSPEPTICS When food lies undigested in the stomach it ferments and gas forms. This gas distends the stomach and presses on the heart, causing a pain that sometimes arouses Tear ot neart trouble. The condition in -which gas forms is caused by a low tone of the digestive organs and a lack of rich red blood resulting in deficient nerve force. It is a condition that calls for a tonic. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a tonic for the blood and nerves, have been used with great success in the treatment of this form of stomach trouble. Cold baths in the morning followed by brisk friction with a, rough towel will help as they stimulate the circulation but a tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills by building up the blood, restoring the nerve force and making the stomach able to do its work gives the most lasting benefit. With their use the appetite increases, aigestion becomes normal and improvement in the general health follows with cer tainty. You are trying no experiment when you take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They cannot harm tne most oeitcate system. You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at the nearest drugstore.
