ANTI-TRUSTTRIOTO f GONE UP IN HOUSE Fight for Wider Exemption of tabor and Farmers' Organi , I zations Expected. DEBATE TO BE CURTAILED Congress Can Hardly Adjourn Be fore August Unless Senate De ;cides to Postpone Action, t Tolls Issue Xear Climax. WASHINGTON, May 18. With de bate In the Senate on repeal of the tolls exemption clause of the - Panama Canal act nearing the end. the House this week will take up what it con siders the most important work of the session, consideration of the three so called anti-trust bills, which, with the necessary appropriation bills, now make up the Administration's legislative pro gramme. Democratic leaders in the Senate aligned with the President for repeal of tolls exemption expect to see the bill closed by Sunday, but the most opti miotic House leaders do not believe the three trust measures can be passed in -less than three weeks. Rule Will Limit Debate. The trio will be taken up by the House under a special rule which will be reported Tuesday. The rule will llrtiit general debate to 40 hours, but there will be no limitation to debate under the "five-minute" rule and no limit to amendments which may be of f ored. Aside from the fight expected on the broad principles laid down in each of the bills, there will be a bitter strug gle on the part of the members favor able to labor and agricultural unions to-exempt them from the operation of i lie Sherman anti-trust law. President wilson is understood to have told llose leaders interested in this legis Ifltion that he does not approve this ex omptlon and there is little doubt that his desires will be met, but a. strong ef fort will be made to incorporate an ex emption amendment. July Adjournment Less Frobable. Members of both houses are greatly Interested in prospects for adjournment by- the middle of July, but unless Sen ste leaders decide not to press anti trust legislation there seems to be lit tle probability of adjournment before August at the earliest. The fight over the repeal bill Is ex pected to reach its climax during the present week. Five Senators have given notice of their intention to speak on the subject and several others prob ably will give such notice within the next few days. Majority Leader Kern is hopeful that a vote may be taken by Monday. The Administration, con fident as its leaders may be that the repeal bill will carry, has not ceased its efforts. A statement was issued last night from headquarters of the Demo cratio National Committee declaring that in response to an inquiry by Sena tor Gore. 702 delegates to the Balti mere convention out of 867 heard from have registered opposition to the tolls exemption plank of the Democratic platform. The statement says that 127 delegates stand for the tolls exemption provision and that letters from SS others are non-committal. ; Another Caucus Considered. Meantime there Is talk of another caucus as soon as the trust bills are out of the way to discuss a rural credits bill, several conservation bills, and soine other measures whose sponsors want an opportunity for their consider ation before adjournment. A further urgent deficiency bill, ap propriating upwards of $6,000,000 be cause of Army and Navy activities In Mexico, will be passed by the House. The sundry civil appropriation bill, the greatest of all the annual supply meas ures, will be reported for consideration after the anti-trust bills are passed. made great friends with hif mono logue and impressions of celebrities. His picture of Sam Bernard singing, one of Bert "Williams in dance and song and another of H. Cooper Cliffe as iNODoay In Everywoman, " were gems ci realism. Harry Pauli, lithe and graceful, with Hazel Boyne, blonde and smilingly pretty, are two nimble dancers who go eery otner dancing team one bette in gymnastic twirlings. They sing. too, and patter a. bit, but their dancing is the big hit. Their act is a. slice of musical comedy called "CourtshiD.1 A pair of marvels in athletic endea vor is the Belleclaire brothers.

Joy for Orpheum audiences, too, with Koy headlining the corking good bill. It's altogether one of the sort of bills everybody comes away talking about in terms of praise, not singling out any one act and saying it is good and leaving the rest to the imagination, but bunching everything on the list under the general description of "jim dandy." Naturally. Eddie Foy and his tal ented progeny captured the house and only the fact that the remainder of the bill had to go on and the janitors had to sweep out at midnight kept last night's audience from bringing the Foys back on the stage a hundred times. They did respond to a dozen recalls, rushing family-like onto the stage, tumbling over each other In their joyous "Foyous" desire to please. The setting for the Foy act is a railway station and Eddie, the inimi table, wanders on in the guise of a hobo traveler. A bit of Foyism In song and story and in comes the line of six little Foys in stair-step fashion, warbling in their fresh young voices and breaking into dances to match. Foy, senior, goes off stage, to return with a parcel post package, which he opens and deposits the littlest Foy of them all on the stage and adds him to the line. He is so tiny and is al wuys Just a little fast or slow with the others, which sends the audience into peuls of laughter. All of the youngsters sing and one of the two girls has a lovely voice, soaring high and sweet. One lad, next to the oldest, does a correct imitation of his famous pa, and copies even the smirk and arms-akimbo atmosphere. One girl and one boy do a snappy, quick-flre Texas tommy dance and the tiny tad leads them all in a "band" travesty. In one of the encores the youngsters roll onto the stage, dragging their pretty Italian mother with them. Most of the seven look like her. The little girls particularly are beauties, with big. flashing birk eyes, and only the next to the youngest is a copy of his father. Eddie himself is the pivot of the act, sings with his brood and en joys keenly their melodious flings bout "helping father with his act." Marshall P. Wilder, the prince of en tertainers, is shown first in a motion picture Btory of a miserly cobbler who is regenerated by the love of a little girl. Then the curtain rises and the real Mr. W ilder entertains with a flood of stories, every one of them with a laugh tucked somewhere in its lines. Mr. Wilder has a droll way of making his points. His laugh, a deep chuckle, is contagious and the applause that brought him back thrice was genuine and prompted by an appreciation of his story-telling artistry. Harry B. Lester, who visited Port land via the Orpheum about a year ago. JULIAN ROSE, a noted exponent of I Hebrew wit in vaudeville.' is the headline attraction at the Empress this week. Mr. Rose does not caricature the He brew race, but acts, in a gentle, kindly way, the part of an old Hebrew gen tleman. His reminiscences of "Levin- sky at the wedding" is a charming bit or wii mat Keeps nis audience laugh ing. A new solution of the financial ques tion is offered by Joe Maxwell's play ers in "Four of a Kind." Two of the crooks were roommates and didn't sus pect each other, another, was an honest to-goodness holdup man and the other a policeman, or an annear-to-ba on.. The holdup man stole $5000, which was taken from him by the two men and conveniently divided by the "cop." Direct from Paris comes "The Two Romans and the Mad Doll." The act is a revelation of aerialism. Some of the most difficult and artistic of gymnastic acts are performed by this trio. The extra added attraction is a mu sical trio, Billy Green, Harry McHenry and Homer Dean. The dancing of McHenry is especially good and Green's rendition of "The Spaniard Who Blight ed My Life" is a favorite. Dean is a wizard on the piano. One of the prettiest and most appre- uietieu acis is mat oi .Bert and Hazel Skatelle, the roller skate actors. The duo dance the tango with as much ease and grace as do dancers who are not handicapped by roller on their ieet.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 18. (Special.) Frederick A. Stokes, accused of liv ing under an assumed name to cover several episodes in the East, today es sayed to prove by means of documen tary evidence that he always had been known as Stokes prior to July, 1907, as well as now. The documents in his possession failed him in this, however, and he explained it by saying that all nis newspaper clippings and receipts up to the middle of 1907 were in New York City. Stokes also retained Daniel O'Con- nell as attorney, and announced he would bring suit tomorrow against his accuser, Mrs. Wilhelmlna Schacht, of Berkeley, for "blackmail, defamation of character and persecution."

It was in the attempt to prove this assertion on his Dart that he tried to produce evidence in the way oi receipts, newspaper clippings, con tracts or other documents which would show him to have been "Frederick A. Stokes" in July. 1907. the month in which his sister-in-law says he was involved in New York, under the name of Stoll. with three women, each of wnom claimed him as her husband. His contention that he had missed all 1907 in Seattle was proved only so far as the months of October, November and December. He failed to show he was there in July. It was in July of that year, it i3 charged, that Stokes, as Stoll, became involved with the three women In the Hotel Albany, New York. Records Show S toll's Marriage.

Two Children and Fath er Is Only Legal Formality. BERLIN. May 11. (Special.) Karl Hopf, the Frankfort fencing master. who murdered his father, his first wife and his two children, and attempted to murder his mother and his second and third wives, was found guilty on both charges. He was sentenced to death for the murders and to 15 years' hard labor for the attempted murders. The prison sentence of course is a pure formality, as Hopf will be be- neaaea. He took his sentence with amazing coolness. Evidence given at the trial showed the presence of large quantities of arsenic in the bodies of Hoofs vic tims. It was also stated that when the police raided Hopf's nouse they found cultures of such deadly disease as typhus, cholera and glanders, which Hopf, who had some training us a cnemist, explained by saying that he usea tnem tor experiments on dogs. Suspicion was cast on Hoof bv the deaths and mysterious illnesses of his relatives, all of whom were heavily in&urea in nis tavor. His first wife, who was insured for J5000, died three years after her marriage. His second wife, who was insured for $7600, left him after she had fallen ill of a mys terious disease from which her child died, and his third wife, who was in ured for $20,000, also left him after mysterious illness. The announcement of Hopf's sen- ' tence was received with cheers by a arge crowd outside the Frankfort law courts. and clothed hundreds of men during each Winter, and often, her children say, as many as 65 or 70 poor and needy persons in a week applied at her home for aid, and received it. She achieved a reputation that brought strangers as well as persons who knew her to her door for help. Mrs. Bohlmann was born In Ham burg. Germany, July 10. 1835, and her maiden name was Von Der Luhe. She came to America in 1867, and on Christ mas of that year was married to Henry Bohlmann in Portland. She lived in Portland continuously from that time. She is survived by her husband and four children. GERMANS FACE DEFEAT Mission of General Von Sanders Is Admitted Failure. BERLIN, May 11 (Special.) A feeling of deep disappointment and a keen sense of defeat prevail in the Ger man mind with regard to the unfavor able turn of events In connection with the German military mission to Turkey, Russia having practically nullified it. The appointment of General Liman von Sanders to his important post was heartily welcomed in Germany. It meant two things. The Turkish defeats in Thrace brought down upon German military training and strategy a good deal of severe criticism. The mission of General Liman von Sanders was in the nature of an effective reply to it. In the second place, the Germans saw In the appointment a notable victory in Realpolitik. Such a mission was, in addition, certain to strengthen th position of the Fatherland in the Near u.ast. Germany has, therefore, seen with considerable chagrin the fad in c- away of the hopes that she had built up. ine whole thing, savs the T.lhorai "Vossische Zeitung" In a bitter article, is a tragic-comedy. It comments strongly on the building of a dock it xsmia oy an English firm, while she nas practically nullified the effective ness of the German military mission. xne unpie juntente, says the journal in its attitude toward the mission, nro. ceeded from "conversations to advice, from advice to requests, and from re quests to threats." It is now Quite aooarent that ths nonors awarded to General von San aers, marshal of the Turkish emnire and general of Prussian cavalry, were merely given to soften the bitter dis appointment which has been his. the I'ost, ' representing the Kruno interest, expresses itself very bitterly, not only on the military mission fiasco, but with regard to the whole conduct of German foreign affairs. It points to tne Anglo-Turkish agreement, whnrehv the oil fields of Mesopotamia and Syria pass into English control, and refers to tne competition which the Bagdad rail way will have to face, after Germany has spent hundreds of millions of marks on it, from a parallel French enter prise from Syria, and German diplomacy appears to be powerless in face of it all.
