Congress will adjourn tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. After nine months devoted to legislation, both houses held protracted (sessions tonight to end their affairs by approving the conference agreement on the emergency revenue bill to raise approximately $200,000,000 desired by the Administration to meet the extra ordinary appropriations for National defense and the Mexican emergency. Only the physical Impossibility of en grossing the revenue measure In time for the President's approval before to morrow morning prevented final ad journment tonight, despite the warning protests of members of both houses who threatened, but did not execute their threats, to prolong the session by demands for action on measures which were forced over until recember. Score Ltive for Homes. Leaders of the Senate and House agreed upon a concurrent resolution to adjourn at 10 o'clock in the morning and scores of members left town on midnight trains, eager to reach their homes for participation In the National political campaign. The Senate at 12:55 adopted the con ference report on the revenue bill with out a record vote, clearing the way for adjournment of Congress at 10 o'clock in the morning. At 1:07 the Senate recessed until 8 o'clock in the morning. The concurrent resolution for adjournment at 10 A. M. was left on the table for action when the Senate resumes. The last appropriation measure, the general deficiency bill, was adopted by both houses while awaiting for the conference report on the revenue bill, and the Danish treaty to provide for purchase of the Danish West Indies for $25,000,000, was ratified. The corrupt practices bill to limit campaign ex penditures, and the immigration bill which President Wilson had announced he would veto if passed, were put aside and will be taken up In the December session. Bill Goes to President Today. The revenue bill as it will go to President Wilson for approval tomor row contains drastic provisions em powering the President to 'retaliate against foreign interference with American commerce, creates a non-partisan tariff commission. Increases the duties on dyestuffs to encourage their manufacture in the United States, pro vides means to prevent dumping of cheap foreign-made goods into Amer ican markets after the war, and pro vides for income. Inheritance, muni tions, corporation stock, liquor and miscellaneous internal revenue taxes. During consideration of the report in the Senate, Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, protested vigorously against elimination by the conference commlt . tee of a retaliatory provision against Canadian control of Pacific Coast fish eries, and Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts, enlivened the House with bitter denunciation of the retal iatory provision against foreign inter ference with American commerce. House In Political Tilt. Representative Gardner charged Con gress with hypocrisy, and his criticism of the Administration aroused the Ire of some of the Democrats, two of whom Representative Decker, of Mis souri and Cullop, of Indiana made speeches in reply. Representative Ben nett, of New York, Republican, said he disagreed with both Representative Gardner and Becker, but that there were questions of National honor that rose above partisanship. Representative Becker, amid rounds of applause, thanked God that there was in the White House a President who was willing to resort to negotia tions before resorting to the sword. He suggested that the views of Mr. Gard ner and of Mr. Roosevelt were pro-ally. Pro-German Stand Assailed! "You claim to bo devoted to human ity and to despise commercialism," said Mr. Gardner. "Why don't you pass an amendment refusing American harbors to Germany's interned ships until she repudiates the Ljsitania crime?" ' The revenue provisions of the bill in clude a normal income tax of 2 per cent with Increased surtaxes, an In heritance tax. a tax of 12 per cent on the net profits of munitions manu facturers, a license tax of 50 cents on each $1000 stock of corporations capi talized in excess of $99,000, wine, beer and liquor taxes, brokers' taxes, and a re-enactment of the theater and amuse ment taxes of the existing war revenue. Stamp Taxes Eliminated. Democratic Leader Kitchin called up the conference report on the revenue (Concluded on Pace 3. Column 5.) Physicians Say Death Would Follow Were Transmissions of Healthy Blood to Be Stopped. OREGON CITY, Or.. Sept. 7. (Spe cial.) George Galbreath, aged 70 years, a pioneer of 1852 of the Tualatin district, is living on the blood of his two daughters. The case is one of the most interesting that has been brought to the attention of local physicians In years. Mr. Galbreath is suffering from per nicious anemia, a disease which de stroys the blood cells as rapidly as they can be formed. Slowly the victim of the malady wastes away, and death usually comes about two years after the disease is first noticed. For weeks Mr. Galbreath has made regular trips to Oregon City to receive transmissions of blood from his two daughters. On each trip he receives a pint of blood, the daughters alternat ing in their gifts of life fluid. He has received eight transmissions this Sum mer. As long as Mr. Galbreath receives blood from his daughters, attending physicians say he will gain strength, providing of course that no other dis ease . develops. But if the treatment stops the aged man will begin to de cline again. TRAIN WRECKERS FOILED Track "Walker Finds Lose Rails, Saving: 2 00 Passengers. SAN DIEGO, Cal., Sept. 7. What the police declare to have been a de liberate attempt to wreck the Santa Fe train carrying 200 passengers from San Diego to Los Angeles at 3 o'clock yesterday is alleged to have been pre vented by the discovery by a track walker of loose rails. Spikes from one rail on the San Diego River bridge had been removed, and the plates con necting the rail with the rail in front had been drawn. Railroad officials say that the work was so done that a train crossing even at moderate speed would have been hurled to the bed of the river, 20 feet below. JOBS SOUGHT FOR SOLDIERS Chamber to Take Up Matter of Guardsmen Leaving Service. Steps are to be taken at once to provide for those of the soldiers who are to be mustered out of service who will find no jobs waiting for them. The executive board of the Chamber of Commerce will take this matter up at Its next meeting. While a large proportion of employers are prepared to reinstate their men, there will be a great many men who will not have any work to go to when they leave the military service. The men will have a payday shortly before they are mustered out, and with this resource available it Is believed that those who have no Jobs can tide over until places can be found. CITY STORES UP GASOLINE Contract for Supply at 9 1-2 Cents Will Empire October 1. The city on October 1 will cease to enjoy the rare privilege of buying gaso line for 9 cents a gallon.

ALEXANDER FOUGHT Similar Phases About Offering Other Places to Two Women Give Promise of Develop ing Interesting Contests. Mrs. Maud L. Richards, teacher In the Benson Polytechnic School, who has recently become a mother, has de clined an enforced vacation of a year without pay, and as a result the School Board, In regular semi-monthly ses sion yesterday, decided to make a tem porary appointment to take care of Mrs. Richards' school work while her mater nal duties confine her at home. When Mrs. Richards Is able to return to the schoolroom the Board will see that work is available for her. Mrs. Rich ards is the wife of Orln R. Richards and her baby is a few weeks old. Before her marriage she was Miss Maud L. Marsh, and her fight in the courts to retain her place as teacher after marrying was a problem which engaged the School Board more than a year ago. Mrs. Alexander's Case Fought. In the case of Mrs. Alevla Alexander, who still holds herself principal of the Benson Polytechnic School, girls' de partment, although she was transferred to the "asslstantshlp of Washington High School." the Board decided to fight to a finish.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 Germany's plans for rehabilitating her foreign and domestic trade are not being made without regard for the trade war her enemies propose to wage when the armed conflict is ended. Official dis patches today made it certain that the allied trade drive will be met with the active competition of Germany. While industrial Germany is reported as regarding lightly the threat of a trade war. there are many evidences of the physical preparations being made to resist it. Large numbers of freight and passenger ships are being built, the reports say. end plans are being made on an immense scale to re-equlp manu facturing plants with machinery of maximum efficiency. One elfect of the war as seen in Ger many has been to improve processes and cheapen production. Women pressed into service as factory machine operatives to meet drafts of men for the battle fronts are reported to have shown themselves much more efficient and have increased the productiveness of machinery, but in the interest of the general welfare it will not be the policy to keep them in factories during times of peace. The government counts, however, on the influence which the record of the women will have on the men returning to peaceful pursuits. Wide publicity recently has been giv en in Germany, the reports say. to a combination of several leading dye stuff and chemical concerns in the in terest of better equipment and in creased efficiency to meet the new com mercial competition. Recently it was announced in Ger many that the Krupps had acquired several large and valuable mining prop erties in different parts of the empire and made plans for large extensions of their business, which Includes sup plies of coal, copper and other ores.

Witness Sure Prisoner Talked to Ristman. WOMAN KNOWS STAINED SHIRT Newer One Declared Stolen From Murder Farm.. MRS. THOMPSON FORGETS Chemist Testifies Stains on Garments Found at Thompson's Home Are of Graphite Similar to That In Can In Death Jitney. HILLSBORO. Or.. Sept. 7. (Special.) Bennett Thompson was identified by P. X. Johnson as the man who dickered with Fred Ristman for his Jitney the night of the Tualatin double murder. The blood-stained, graphite-smeared shirt found near Mrs. Helen Jennings' farm was traced to the home of Thomp son in the Mount Scott district of Port land. A shirt taken with other garments from Thompson's residence was recog nized as one stolen from Mrs. Jennings" house with other clothing the night of the murder. Spots Made by Graphite. Chemists testified that spots on an undershirt taken from Thompson" place, smears on the stained dress shirt and black marks on the sleeve lining of a coat worn by Thompson at the time of his arrest were all made with graphite and that a can of lubricating grease taken from Ristman's automo bile had graphite as a principal in gredient. These were links forged in circum stantial chain of evidence the state of Oregon is placing 'about Bennett Thompson by testimony for the prosecution in the trial here today. Thompson la Identified. "I believe in my own mind that it was Thompson who was talking to Ristman," testified Mr. Johnson, after telling of coming upon Ristman and another man on Second street, between Alder and Morrison streets, Portland, at 7 o'clock the night of the murder. He said that he intended to speak to his friend, but he overheard the man talking to Ristman mention something about price so he concluded it was a business talk and passed on with a curious glance over his shoulder at the stranger. The stranger Mr. Johnson described as tall, of dark complexion and having a particularly keen glance. At Jail later he picked Thompson from halt a dozen other prisoners as the man. Cross ex amination did not shake Mr. Johnson's conviction. Conviction lit Not Shaken. "Don't think I am mistaken though it is possible that a man might be," he said but reiterated. "My actual opinion is that it was Thompson." The tell-tale stained shirt was traced by District Attorney Tongue. With another worn short it originally was given by Ethel May Clark, of Lents, to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Clara Lyons. Mrs. Lyons, in turn, gave the shirts to her sister, Mrs. Jame Thompon. She is the wife of Bennett Thompson's brother and the woman with whom the accused man had been living prior to the murder. Woman's Mind Often Lapses. Mrs. James Thompson was called to the stand first in this connection. She was a stubborn witness. She. "did not remember," "couldn't say," "didn't know," in reply to numerous questions, forgetting so much District Attorney Tongue reminded her of a much better recollection when she appeared before the Hillsboro grand jury. She admitted that two shirts were given, her by Mrs. Lyons but could not identify them or tell whether one comparatively new one shown her had been one of the two or not. Most sat isfaction obtained by the District At torney was her lack of positive denial of seeing the blood-stained shirt. "I don't know if I ever saw it be fore or not." she answered when asked if she could identify it. Shirts ot ltccognised. Mrs. Clara Lyons was then called. She remembered quite well giving two shirts to her sister, Mrs. Thompson. Which ones were they? She said she only remembered that they were black and white shirts. Upon examining the fairly new shirt she refused to say . positively whether that was one she gave her sister or not. She was reminded that in the grand jury room she had a decided con viction on that subject. If it was the same shirt she had seen before the grand Jury it was not one she had given Mrs. Thompson, she said at last. She would not try to identify the worn shirts. "I can't say it is the shirt and I won't say it is not the shirt," she said of each. Donor Describes Garment. Mrs. Kthel May Clark, sister-in-law of Mrs. Lyons and cousin by marriage of Attorney Roscoe P. Hurst, who ap peared with S. B. Huston for the de Cense, was next on the stand. Without showing her the shirts District At torney Tongue asked her to describe the two worn garments she had given her t.ister-ln-law. "Both of them were patched," she tCat.iiudvti oa Fage Culunia 1.)
