lroposed Corrupt Practices Act
Will Go Over Under Agreement
by Which Democrats Will
Vote Against It.
' WASHINGTON. Aug. 17. Adminis
trate j leaders, confronted by the de
termination of Senator Owen to press
liis corrupt practices bill at this ses
sion of Cangress. made an agreement
with the Republicans today, which they
believe will clear a way for passage
of the shipping and revenue bills, now
temporarily blocked. . It was agreed
that Senator Owen might move to take
tip lis bill at any time and that enough
Democrats would vote with the Re
publicans to defeat it. -'
For hours tod ly while the shipping
bill was being discussed In monotones
to empty seats the Democratic and Re
publican leaders consulted over the
legislative deadlock.
Shipping Bill Vote Coming Soon.
It was said tonight that enough
Democratic promises to oppose Senator
Owen's motion had been secured to
insure what the Republicans earnestly
desire, a postponement of action on the
Owen bill until the next session. A
vote on the shipping bill probably will
be permitted by the Republicans tomor
row cr Saturday under this agreement.
The day's developments had served
to .renew hope for an eavly adjourn
ment of Congress, when advocates of
the immigration bill injected a Mew
disturbing feature. Senator Borah, in
the course -of a speech on the shipping
bill, referred to the need for immediate
immigration legislation and the re
sulting discussion revealed evidences
of another Democratic revolt.
Caucus Bolt PromlMed.
Senator Hardwick announced that It
was the intention of Chairman Smith,
of the immigration committee, to call
up the measure before adjournment
and Senator Ashurst, another Democrat,
said lie hopped such a motion would be
made soon and added that he would
not be bound by fie Democratic caucus,
which voted to delay the measure
until September 5.
During the day there was gossip
among Democratic Senators that Presi
dent Wilson might not veto the bill,
should it be presented to him.
There was not. however, any authori
tative statement on that subject.
Immigration affairs caused & diver
sion from the shipping bill for several
hours. Senators Dillon. Brady and
Works, Republicans, are urging pas
sage of this immigration bill.
Galllnger Urges Pasange.
"We should pass this bill, even if
the President does intend to veto It,"
said Senator Gallinger, the Republican
leader.
The day passed without progress on
the shipping and revenue bills. Senate
and House conferees on the naval bill,
however, put that measure into the
final form. Id which it will be sent to
the President for his signature.

dozen homes of striking molders by
manufacturing molders of the Bridge

with the officials of Local No. 110, In

RIGHTS LAID DOWN
Mexico to Insist That Foreign
ers Waive Treaties.
TITLES MADE CONDITIONAL
Acquisition of Property to Be'Lim-
ited to Those Who Renounce
Privilege of Appealing to
Their Governments.
JIEXICO CITY. Aug. 17. An official
decree issued today provides that all
foreigners who intend to acquire pub
lic lands, mineral lands or water rights,
or who seek permission to explore and
exploit oil lands, timber lands or fish
eries, must make formal declaration
before the Department of Foreign Re
lations that they renounce treaty rights
and are to be considered , to have only
the same privilege as Mexicans. They
are to incur the same obligations as
Mexicans and to renounce the right to
demand protection of their govern
ments. Titles Void 'Without Clause.
Foreign companies will be unable to
acquire rights to such properties until
they have made the same declaration.
Not even a permit for exploration of
lands will be issued until this regula
tion has been complied with. Titles to
such properties and all contracts and
public documents referring to them
must contain this clause, or they will
be void.
Any proceedings already entered
upon by foreigners with the govern
ment referring to such properties will
remain in their present status and will
not be taken up again until the dec
laration is made, if this is not done
within four months, the persons or
companies concerned will be consid
ered to haVe withdrawn their petitions
or proceedings and shall have no re
course against this step.
Status of Property Defined.
General Carranza will soon issue a
decree establishing a criterion for de
termining which of the properties con
fiscated by the government shall be
returned to the owners and which
shall be finally taken over by the gov
ernment. The standard will be based on the
varying degrees of the political or
criminal activity of the owners against
the government, the culpability of the
highest leaders, such as Generals
Huerta, Diaz and Mondragon, being
considered such as to make theChances
of their property reverting to them or
their heirs absolutely negligible.
Properties of persons of no great
political responsibility are being re
turned, among such properties being
those of Sofia Romero Rubio Elisaga,
sister-in-law of the late Porflrio Diaz.

Union Pacific Traffic Director
Causes Sensation With Telegram
Saying Advances Are Not
Desired by Itoads.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Aug. 17. If proposed increases
in transcontinental railroad rates
should be sustained by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Pacific Coast
shipyards would be unable to bid on
any of the new shlpa authorized by the
naval appropriation bill; would be un
able to undertake any further con
tracts on steel commercial vessels, and
would be forced to sustain heavy
losses, if not bankruptcy, on contracts
now in hand.
This was the testimony of J. R.
Bowles, of Portland, before tho Inter
state Commerce Commission today,
corroborated by three other shipowners
from the Pacific Coast.
Carriers Oppose Advances.
A feature of today's hearing was the
presentation of a telegram signed by
Traffic Director Winchell, of the Union
Pacific, saying in effect that the ad
vances In rates were not carefully
worked out; that the carriers did. not
want to put these advances into effect
and hoped the Commission would sus
pend them. This telegram promises to
knock the props from under the new
rates, unless the railroads tomorrow
are able to show that Mr. Winchell
spoke only for his own road and. not
for others.
The Winchell telegram when read
caused the Commission to ask what
reason remained for contluing the
hearings, but Mr. Scandrett. represent
ing the Transcontinental Freight Bu
reau, asked for delay until tomorrow,
that the carriers might prepare a
statement. The Winchell telegram
read:
"You may say that all interested
lines feel that the rates are higher
than commercial conditions warrant or
will permit. It was unfortunately im
possible to tell which of the rates were
water-compelled and which fell clearly
within the lines of the Commission's
decision.
New Tariff Desired.
"The time.was short for the prepara
tion of tariffs, and if the rates are pro
tested we undoubtedly shall have fur
ther opportunity to ascertain our possi
bilities and make a new tariff which
more nearly meets our views. I have
no doubt the hearing will develop the
situation completely and will result in
an order which will permit the lines
more freely to exercise their judgment
in this important matter."
This telegram was offered In the
l.-lidot of the hearing on West-bound
rates. J. N. Teal pointed out that
under the new tariffs Spokane enjoys
peculiarly discriminatory rates from
he East, which are materially lower
tbr.u rates to Reno and other inter
mountain points, which had Joined with
Spokane in the previous case. He also
called attention to the fact that no
traffic managers are here defending
the increased rates.
When Mr. Bowles took the stand he
discussed at length the effect of ad
vanced steel rates on the shipbuilding
Industry of the Paeifio Coast, and said
that these rates would similarly affect
buildings, bridges and other structural
steel work. He showed' how Pacific
Coast yards are now building many
ships under contracts entered into un
der the old rates. To advance the rates
on steel now would rob these yards
of their profit, if not do worse.
Coast Business Cut Off.
He said that these Coast yards would
sustain a loss of $30,000 on a ship of
8000 tons and on contracts now in hand,
he estimated they would, because of the
advance in freight rate, lose not less
than $1,500,000. More than that, if these
advanced rates went into effect, no Pa
cific Coast yard could successfully bid
on any of the warships to be built
under the naval bill about to be passed
by Congress.
So far as his line of business is con
cerned, he said the rates would give
the shipyards of the Atlantic Coast a
monopoly on the shipbuilding business.
REVENUE BILL OPPOSED
REPUBLICANS POINT OUT THAT
PRINCIPLE IS WRONG.
Serious International Crisis Is Entirely
Overlooked Treasury Is Faclns
Large Deficit.
' WASHINGTOK. Aug. 17. Republican
members of the Senate finance com
mittee in a minority report on the Ad
ministration revenue bill today vigor
ously denounced the principle of the
bill as wrong and declared it over
looked entirely the "serious interna
tional crisis" which the country will
have to face.
"It is sufficient," said the report,
"to call the attention of the country
to the fact that appropriations for this
session of Congress will aggregate ap
proximately $1,700,000,000. as against
$1,114,000,000 for the fiscal year 1916.
an amount that almost staggered the
country at the time; and it is admitted
that the additional amount appropriated
at this session for what may be termed
preparedness is not to exceed $390,000,
000, demonstrating that entirely outside
of preparedness this Congress has made
appropriations of approximately $200.
000.000 more than any preceding Con
gress. "Moreover, the minority does not feel
called upon at this time to provide
suggestions of ways and means for ad
ditional revenue.
"The statement that this additional
revenue is needed for preparedness is
entirely misleading. The 'wasteful and
ill-advised appropriations for projects
that were unnecessary, the creation of
thousands of additional offices and
general extravagance in expenditures
in all departments of the Government,
together with the failure of existing
legislation passed under the present
Administration to provide sufficient
revenue, even under normal conditions,
places the responsibility distinctly on
the party in power to show the way
to provide sufficient revenues for a
treasury already facing a large deficit."
