RIVER AND HARBOR
BILL SEEMS BEATEN
Senators Borah and Jones Be
lieve 'Pork Barrel' Features
Have Sealed Fate.
PLACE ON CALENDAR LOST
JIc;t-.ure Cannot Come Cp Again Jin
til Anti-Trust Programme Is Com
pleted, and Foes Can Continue
Filibuster Indefinitely.
OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash
Jngton. July 23. The river and harbor
kill pendir.if before the Senate la IlKely
to fail to pass this session, because
of the filibuster being made aR.unsi
It by Senator Burton and others. It
was displaced yesterday as the un
finished business of Saturday and will
not come up aeain until anti-trust leg
islation is out of the way.
Senator Burton, of Ohio, has made
a single-handed three weeks' filibuster
against the river and harbor bill and
has enough more material to talk sev
eral weeks longer. A dozen other
Senators are ready to support Senator
Burton, unless the Senate agrees to
eliminate several million dollars of
purely "pork barrel" items, most of
them appropriations for creeks and
unimportant waterways without com
merce, generally situated In states rep
resented by Democratic Senators.
The commerce committee thus far
lias refused to recommend the elimina
tion of these objectionable items and
the Senate has refused to act one way
or the other. With trust legislation
having the right of way. the river and
harbor bill probably will not be con
sidered again for a month or six weeks,
and if it is delayed that long there
Is grave danger of Its ultimate defeat,
as there will be strong pressure to
adjourn when the anti-trust bills are
disposed of.
Senator Jones, of Washington, and
Senator Borah, of Idaho, today ex
pressed the belief the river and harbor
bill probably would be defeated, solely
on the ground it Is a "pork barrel"
measure. If Items without merit could
be eliminated opposition to the bill
would be withdrawn and It could pass
In a few hours.

drought damage had been exaggerated
and that crops along the line were not
affected.
"The crops look splendid," said Mr.
Earling. "Winter rye and barley are
being harvested in Dakota and Eastern
Montana and early wheat in the same
section Is out of danger. It is expected
that the late grain yield will come up
to earlier estimates with a continua
tion Df the favorable weather that now
seems certain.
"'In short, my observations In the
Dakotas, Eastern Montana and the
Judith Basin are that they will pro
duce up to the earlier estimates. Wash
ington crops, of course, are out of the
way. Everything is being harvested
and the yield for this state is a closed
Incident so far as any damage is con
cerned. "There was no rust In the sections
I visited. The temperature this week
has been favorable and with light rains
all through Montana and South Dakota
the damage is comparatively trifling,
with a loss of not more than 5 per cent
on the basis of estimates above nor
mal." Mr. Earling said that while East un
confirmed rumors of red rust on the
west side Df the Missouri River reached
him. but this rust, of course, causes
no damage.

which were started by campers or
berry-pickers, are reported In King.
Clallam, Snohomish, Mason and Kitsap
Counties, Washington, but only small
damage has been done.

field. The National forests have not
been attacked.
The most serious of the fires is at

stock have been burned. This blaze

'BURNED'
MILL UNTOUCHED
Reports of Loss Discredited as Fire
Near Renton Is Checked.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 23. (Spe
cial.) Reports of yesterday, telling of
the destruction of the mill of the Cov
ington Lumber Company, several miles
south of Benton, in this county, by
forest fires raging in that section, were
discredited today by authentic news
from the mill company.
Superintendent Carr, of the logging
operations of the Covington company,
said today that the mill had not been
touched by the flames and that the
fire In the woods had burned nothing
but fallen timber. The loss so far in
the Swan Lake district, where the Cov

ing, he said, and the flames are under
control, with no prospect of reaching
the standing green timber.
FIRE DANGER THOUGHT PAST
Mien Dig Trench to Protect Unburned
Area for a While Threatened.
Although the brush fire northwest of
Oswego is completely under control,
a force of men under Deputy Fire
Warden Martin yesterday constructed
a trench about three miles in length
to prevent the spread of the flames
into any part of the district not al
ready burned over.
With a light wind blowing, the fire
is being held safely within the con
fines of the burned area. Dense smoke
is issuing from burning logs and. In
some places, trees are smoldering. The
wind is not strong enough to carry the
sparks into adjacent unburned districts
and, for that reason, it is thought that
the danger from the spread of the fire
is past.

12 "BOOTLEGGERS" HELD
INDIAN OFFICERS ARREST MEN BE
LIEVED TO BE IN RING.
Federal Officials Close Campaign of 10
Days Against Alleged Sellers
of Liquor to Wards.
PENDLETON, Or.. July 23. (Special.)
A 10-day campaign against alleged
sellers of liquor to Indians was com
pleted today by Government detectives
co-operating with Indian Agent Swartz
lander and the local officers.
Twelve arrests have been made and
four of these men were taken to Port
land today by Deputy United States
Marshal Puller to await the action of
the Federal grand jury. Others are out
on bonds, while still others are either
in the city or county jail.
The Federal officers are S. A. Oftedal,
special officer for the suppression of
liquor traffic among the Indians; D.
B. Grant, an assistant; Special Officers
J. W. Culp and Gibson.
Those arrested are Jack Joyce, well
known buckaroo and roundup per
former; J. W. Cook, Joe McBean. Prank
Moore, Louis Hutchinson, Jack Lowe.
Aivie Whittle, Dick Johnson, Mike Con
nors, A. Peyant, C. H. Davis and Wil
iram M. McCoy.
With the arrest of these men. the
officers believe they have broken up
a well-organized gang of bootleggers.
Peyant is supposed to be the leader 01
the alleged ring. Ostensibly running a
repair shop in Adams, the officers say
his place was really the headquarters
for bootleggers. They believe he
shlppped most of his liquor from Port
land, cached it in his shop and parceled
It out to the sellers in small quantities.
A large quantity of liquor was found
and confiscated.

BAR ACCUSES LAWYER
BOISE ATTORNEY ON TUIAI. bVOU
ASSOCIATION COURT.
Rev. John W. Hannum Say Robert R.
Wedeklnd Made Threats to Rula
Him If He Testified.
BOISE, Idaho, July 23. (Special.)
Charged with attempting to intimidate
a witness, Robert R- Wedeklnd. a prom
inent attorney of this city, was tried
today before a disbarment committee of
three appointed by the Supreme Court.
The evidence was taken under ad
visement by the committee composed of
Judge J. H. Richards. Jess H. Cavanah
and P. E. Caveney.
Rev. John Hannum, now of Seattle,
formerly of Boise, made the charge
against Wedeklnd. On the witness
stand today he told a sensational story
of how that attorney had called him
over the telephone on April 16 and
made an appointment at the latter's of
fice for the afternoon. Rev. Mr.
Hannum says he kept it. The minister
had been Instrumental In gathering
evidence against Elfle Fay, an alleged
operator of a bawdy-house, and had
visited it in disguise for that purpose.
His testimony was to the effect that
Wedeklnd shook his fists and declared
that. If the preacher testified In the
Fay case, Wedeklnd would brand him
as a bawdy-house frequenter to such
an extent that he and hlB family would
be disgraced and driven from Bolae.
Wedeklnd denied In toto the alleged
threats, but admitted the appointment.
He explained he had met Rev. Mr.
Hannum merely for the purpose of re
questing that he quit degrading his
client.
