WASHINGTON', Aug. 14. The Admin
istration revenue bill, as amended by
the Senate finance committee, was ap
proved late tonight by the Democratic
Senate caucus and will be reported in
the Senate by "Wednesday. The meas
ure, leaders estimate, will yield $2K,-0-0O.000
annually, an increase of $7,500,
000 over the estimated revenue as it
passed the House.
The caucus sustained tonight the
finance committee amendment to the
wine schedule after a vigorous fight,
led by Senator Phelan, of California,
for retention of the House rates. As
' approved, the tax on" still wines will be
at the rate of 8 cents per wine gallon,
and the tax on grape brandy or wine
spirits used in the fortification of sweet
wines will be 55 cents per proof gallon
as against 10 cents proposed in the
House bill.
On champagne and sparkling wine a
tax of 3 cents would be levied on each
half pint: on artificially carbonated
wine 2 cents per half pint, and on
each bottle or other container of cor
dials or similar compounds la cents per
half pint.
The House provision for the creation
of a tariff commission was approved
with a Senate committee amendment in
creasing salaries of the commissioners
from $7500 to $10,00 a year. The com
mission would consist of six members
to be appointed by the President, no
more than three of whom shall be
members of the same political party.
In view of the adoption last night of
the license tax on stock of corporations,
the caucus voted to eliminate stamp
taxes on express and freight bills of
lading and telephone and telegraph
messages. Stamp taxes are retained,
however, on bonds, debentures and cer
tificates of Indebtedness; conveyances,
custom-house receipts, insurance pol
icies, foreign steamship tickets and.
Pullman car seats and berths.
ROSE INDUSTRY LOOMS
DEMAND FOR DOMESTIC PERFUME
CREATED BY WAR.
Chamber of Commerce Boreas Corre
sponding With Eastern Chemists
About Production Methods.
The bureau of industries and manu
factures of the Chamber of Commerce
is working steadily upon the matter of
development of interest in the growing
of roses for perfume production in Ore'
gon. and it is believed that this Indus
try may be made an important one in
the Northwest.
Correspondence from Eastern chemi
cal companies indicate that the war
conditions in Europe have created a de
mand by shutting off the orierinal mar
kets and that the communities which
can take advantage of this condition
and prepare to meet that demand are
in a way to take over a great portion
of the rose attar and oil production of
the future.
The following information secured by
the bureau for the Portland Chamber
outlines the kinds of roses best suited
for perfume production and some of the
general methods of handling.
The roses best -suited for perfumery
production are of the rosa centifolla
and rosa gallica types. The Bulgarians
use for attar of roses a semi-double.
red-flowering variety of rosa (tallica.
Rosa alba is also extensively grown in
exposed localities. Paul Riccault,
Louise Mehul, Rosa Mundi. Felicite
Parmentier and Paul Verdier represent
the red gallica very well, while
Ariadne and Maiden s Blush come fair
ly near Rosa Alba.
The roses are generally grown In
well drained but rather heavy loam or
clay soils, well fertilized with stable
manure. The roses are planted at dis
tances of three or four feet in rows
six feet apart and given frequent cul
tivation throughout each growing: sea
son. Bushes should blossom the next
year after planting and should increase
in yield for seven or eight years.

CONTRARY to current rumor that
she was to accept flattering "of
fers from legitimate managers to
return to the stage. Pauline Frederick,
wbo rrade her motion picture debut in
the Famous Players adaptation of Hall
Caine's great drama, "The Eternal
City," has decided to remain upon the
screen and has signed a two-year con
tract with the Famous Players Film
Company. By the terms of this con
trait Miss Frederick automatically as
sures her appearance In Paramount
pictuies for the next two years.
The stage career of Pauline Freder
ick has been an interesting one. Hav
ing been successful in light comedy.
Miss Frederick had progressed to some
of the biggest emotional roles then
being enacted up on the stage and had
proved a positive sensation in "Inno
cent" and as Zuleika in the celebrated
"Joseph and His Brethren." At the
height of her popularity on the stage.
Miss Frederick accepted the offer of
the ro'r of Donna Roma in the Famous
Players adaptation of "The Eternal
City."
The success which she scored in the
production more than justified Miss
Frederick's decision and prompted her
acceptance of an offer to remain ex
clusively on the screen.
Fa mum Stays In West.
William Farnum can't come East yet.
The public won't let him.
The moving-picture-loving popula
tion o' tho Unit5d States has risen up
in all Its might and numbers and
pleaded that the star of stars continue
to do his Western roles. So William
Fox announces that the screen Sam
sen will be featured in Just one more
picture of the type for which he is
famous. Out comes the blue shirt of
the mining camp, and back goes the
dress suit and the dancing pumps into
the wardrobe trunk for a temporary
stay.
The letters which have been re
ceived at the William Fox offices in
New York City since the announce
ment was made that "The End of the
Trail" would mark Mr. Farnum's last
work In the West, prove how strong
is the movie fan's affection for the
1-rilliant actor.
Within 24 hours after the news had
teen released that Mr. Farnum would
he East within a short time to begin
acting in more elite roles and "Society
life," a score of communications had
been sent to Mr. Farnum personally,
telling how appreciative the writers
were of his art. Each begged, if it
were in any way possible, that he
sbou'd star in at least one more pro
diction laid on the farther side of the
Rockies, because the first notice of his
coming withdrawal from his old parts
had struck them with such unexpected
ness. Love the Vampire.
Making the women love you. even
though you are a vampire, is some
thing of an achievement. But Louise
Glaum, who has made the vampirish
character she has portrayed In several
racent Triangle pictures so compelling
as to ?in the approbation of critics
the country over, believes she has hit
on a method whereby she can over
come tne usual feminine prejudice
against the type of woman she has
had to depict.
Miss Glaum's methods are typically
feminine.
"The one thing women are most in
terested in." ventures Miss Glaum, "is
clothes. Perhaps that does hurt the
vanity of the sterner sex a bit, but
it's the truth.
"Tm going to ' make my gowns so
wonderful that the women will forget
quite just how horrible I am and will
do nothing after the picture but talk
about my clothes."
Hard to Tell Colors.
Not one picture-play fan in a hun
dred can answer the question "Is she a
blonde of a brunette?" after looking at
a girl on the screen. At least this is
the position that is taken by Bessie
Eyton. one of the star actresses of the
Selisr Polyscope Company.
Miss F.yton. who has always been a
Keen btunent or the mechanical branch
of the motion picture business, comes
out with the statement that here is

its wonderful achievements has failed.
wntie rcaav to admit that In some
cases the color of a woman's hair may
b judged from the lights and shadows
shown in certain positions taken dur
ing the making of a picture play. Miss
t-yton asserts that under normal con
ditions it is next to impossible to really
tell the color of hair from seeing it on
tne screen.
Her assertion las opened an inter
esting line of discussion. Miss Eyton's
hair is a golden auburn. In the picture
plays it shows more black than any
thing eUe. Persons " who have never
met Miss Eyton personally seem loth
to believe that her tresses are not Jet
black. However, could they see her
wealth t wonderful golden hair, they
wuuia soon change tneir opinions.

SCHOOL BOARD IS GRILLED
Meeting of Protest Called by
Women's Civic Welfare League
Objects to Elimination of
Home Labor Clause.
Working- people of Portland last
night started an organized movement
not to send their children to school on
the opening day September 4, which
Labor day.
This was one of the results of a red
hot meeting at the Public Library, at
vhicr. the School Board was severely
grilled, both for ordering the schools
to open on Labor day and for eliminat
ing the home labor clause from school
construction contracts.
The meeting was called by the
Women's Civic Welfare League and
was well attended. Many members of
organized labor were in the audience.
saac Swett presided.
Two members of the School Board O.
M. Plummer and Dr. J. F. Drake were
in the hall, ants after various speakers
had taken a fling at the board, they
were called to the platform and asked
to explain things.
Dr. Drake made explanations that
seemingly pleased the majority of the
crowd.
Mr. Plnmmrr Refuse Request.
Mr. Plummer's attitude was not so
pleasing. He said that he had not
voted in favor of eliminating the home
labor clause in the first place, but now
that a majority of the Board had voted
that way he believed in backing them
up in it-
He refused, too. to promise to offer
motion at the next meeting of the
Boarv to rescind the previous action In
opening the schools on Labor Day. lie
said that they won't be opened on La
bor Day next year.
But that did not satisfy anybody. In
lieu of a definite promise from Mr.
Plummer the meeting went unanimous
ly and vociferously on record to start
movement among all "parents of
Portland who believe in fair play and a
square deal" to keep their children' at
home from school on the opening day.
They want to make the opening day a
complete fizzle so that the work of
the opening day will have to be done
over again on the following day. That,
It was explained, is about the only re
course left for folks who want to ob
serve the National holidays in the
schools.
The personal appearance of the school
directors served more or less to sway
the meeting from its original course,
which merely was to hear the speakers
and pass some resolutions. The ap
pointed speakers were heard, however,
before the school officials showed up.
They were Eugene E. Smith, president
of the Central Labor Council, and W. 8.
U'Ren, well-known advocate of popular
government.
Home-Labor Clause Issue.
Mr. Smith reviewed the procedure be-
fore'the Board and various committees
of the Board that led up to the action
eliminating the home-labor clause from
school contracts. When this proposal
first was made, he said, he objected
strenuously. Finally he consented to
its elimination from the contract for
the Benson Polytechnic School because
he wanted to make that building "a
monument to cheap and scab labor."
the Boards action, though, elimi
nated the home-labor clause from all
future contracts "until otherwise or
dered." said Mr. Smith.
This attitude of the Board, he ex
plained, had been assumed at the be
hest of S. Benson, who had given J10O.-
000 to aid in construction of the Benson
school.
'If we have to accept our gifts from
millionaires with strings tied to them
they are not worth having," he de
clared.
Air. U Ken branded the Board a ac
tion as "the limit of short-sightedness
even from a business standpoint.
It is contrary to the preachings of
those business men, he continued, who
have been urging the development of
Oregon industries.
'Suppose that the Oregon laboring
man who is discriminated against in
these School Board contracts would
send to Oregon City or Tacoma or Seat
tle for his clothes or his groceries, was
his significant suggestion.
Election Method Assailed.
He pointed out that the present sys
tern of electing eschool directors
wherein none but taxpayers are al
lowed to vote is responsible for such
actions as those complained of; that
the directors naturally are elected by
the capitalistic class and that naturally
the Board Is going to serve that class.
"Tou can't blame them." he advised
"You might expect them to injure
the laboring man, but no doubt it was
surprising to some to see them add
insult to injury."
Mr. U'Ren's suggestion of a legisla
tlve movement to open the school elec
tions to all citizens, regardless of their
ability to pay taxes, met with instant
favor. It is probable that action along
that line will be started right away.
Recall of the School Board was sug
gested by Ed Fair, who spoke with
much feeling, and the suggestion was
applauded, but the meeting was too
busy with other business to give the
proposal serious discussion.
THREE INDICTMENTS FOUND

dav by the City Council and was made
a provision of the proposed new traffic
ordinance now pending.
It was planned at first to make the
age limit 18 years. It finally was -cut
down to 17 years and made to cover
