W. HL DANIELS GETS
COMMISSION SEAT
Interstate Commerce Official
Confirmed by Senate Fol
, lowing Bitter Fight.
SECRET DEBATE GIVEN OUT
Custom of Withholding From Public
of Executive Session Proceed
ings Broken, Progressives
Iefing Old Itules.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. Confirma
tion of Winthrop M. Daniels, of New
Jersey, to succeed himself as a member
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
was voted by Ihe Senate tonight and,
contrary to custom, a part of the de
bate on the nomination was made pub
lic revealing the bitterness of the fight
waged against it in executive sessions.
The vote, taken after opposition had
delayed action for nearly a month,
stood 42 to 15. All of the Senators of
the so-called Progressive wing of the
Republican party and one Democrat,
Senator Iiollis, voted in the negative.
Excerpts from the executive debate
Include a -speech by Senator Cummins
attacking Commissioner Daniels' fit
ness for a place on the Commission be
cause of rulings he handed down as the
Tublic Utilities Commissioner of New
Jersey and declaring that In granting
increases to the railroads in the ad
vance rate case the Interstate Com
merce Commission, led by Mr. Daniels,
"ignored the law.and exercised an au
thority which never has been and never
will be conferred on any Commission."
Senator JVevr lands I Defender.
A reply by Senator Newlands, de
fending the Commissioner's part of
both of these cases, also was given out.
It was one of the few instances in
recent times when such a course has
been adopted regarding debates behind
closed doors, and recalled the sensa
tional attack on rules of secrecy made
by Progressive Republicans when Mr.
Daniels first was nominated to the
Commission in 1913. At that time Sen
ator La Follette and several other Sen
ators, after vainly fighting confirma
tion for several weeks, announced that
they would defy, the secrecy rule
thereafter regarding debates on nomi
nations. ,
In his argument against confirma
tion today. Senator Cummins went at
length into the railroad control situa
tion and-declared he believed the Fed
eral Government "had reached the part
ing of the ways."
t-overnmcnt Ownership Preferable.
"I believe that our system of the
control and regulation of common car
riers is on final trial and if the Com
mission is to be made up of men of Mr.
Daniels' trend of mind the system must
be abandoned," said the Iowa Senator.
"For one, I have no hesitation in de
claring that if his views are to prevail
I am for absolute and immediate Gov
ernment ownership and operation of
our transportation facilities.
"if the charges for service rendered
by our public carriers are to increase
year after year in the rapid rate which
the principles which he advocates will
not only authorize but require, the bur
den, now heavy, will become insupport
able." An exhaustive review of the "cam
paign" for a general freight rate in
crease begun by the railroads in 1910
was given by Senator Cummins, who
eaid the movement proceeded until it
seemed to bring under Its influence all
the forces of the Government.
JURY REACHES 'VERDICT
BAILIFF ACCEPTS SEALED MISSIVE
AND JCRYMES GO HOME.
Judge Gets Surprise When lie Reads
We Cannot Agree on Verdict for
j Either Plaintiff or Defendant."
Anyone who has ever served on a
Jury in the Circuit Court can appre
ciate this incident.
Court attaches still are puzzled by it.
They are not quite sure whether it was
an unwitting mistake of members of a
jury panel or a clever ruse.
The Wilberg-Oppegard Investment
Company was suing the New Amster
dam Casualty Company in the court of
Circuit Judge Tucker, involving the
validity of a certain bond. Arguments
concluded Saturday afternoon and the
jury was Instructed to retire and de.
liberate upon its verdict. It was not
to report until it"" had reached a ver
diet, but if was stipulated by the at
torneys in the case that, in case a de
cision was reached after court had
adjourned for the night a sealed ver
dict could be submitted, to be read
Monday, and the jury discharged.
At 10:55 Saturday night the jurors
summoned Bailiff MacBratney.
"We have reached a verdict and we
want to go home," they told him, hand
ing over a sealed envelope containing
a verdict.
This seemed satisfactory and the Jury
was released for the night.
Judge Tucker opened the verdict
Monday to find to his astonishment
that.it read: "We the jury in the above
entitled action cannot agree on a ver
diet for either plaintiff or defendant.'
A "hung" Jury was expected to con
tinue deliberations and to attempt to
reach an agreement until released by
order of the judge.
2 FIREMEN SUSPENDED

On charges of complicity in a. bootleg
ring, captain is. a. Hawkins and En
glneer J. H. Campbell, of fire engine
company No. 2. were suspended from
the fire service yesterday by Mayor
Albee. The charges against the two
and H. Tracy and J. W. Bannon. ex
members of the same engine company
were presented to Mayor Albee by th
District Attorney s office and th
Mayor forthwith ordered the suspen
Fiona penning a Hearing before th
Board of Fire Chiefs.
From 8 o'clock last night until after
2 o clock this morning Captain Hawkin
and Engineer Campbell were on trial
before the Board of Fire Chiefs at the
City Hall, where an effort was made
to get at the bottom of the scandal
Seven witnesses testified! The hearing
was a private one, cauea ny ;nier
Dowell, who, it is understood, "asked
permission from the Mayor to did'
charge summarily the men involved if,
after the hearing, it was warranted in
the minds of the Board of Fire Chiefs.
The developments, together with the
testimony, will be. laid before -Mayor
Albee this morning. At 1:30 -Vclock
this morning it was announced that the
chiefs were not finished with the testimony-
and that several hours more
would be needed. The firemen involved
were being given opportunity to de
fend themselves as the witnesses pro
duced testimony one after the other.
Aside from the fact that the object
of the hearing" was summary dismissal
If the facts warranted it. nothing was
divulged as to the evidence adduced at
the hearing.
The two men have been in the serv
ice 10 years. Captain Hawkins, in ad
dition to having worked up to his posi
tion, la a member of the board of trus
tees of the firemen's relief and pension
fund and is treasurer of an organiza
tion of firemen brought together re
cently to campaign for a two-platoon
system for the firemen.
It is said that about the middle of
November Hawkins and Campbell went

KLAMATH FALLS, Or, Jan. 10.
(Special.) Bert C. Thomas, an
attorney of this city, today re
ceived notice of his appointment
as United States Commissioner
for the District of Oregon, to re
side at Klamath Falls. Tho ap
pointment was made by Charles
E. Wolverton, United States Dis
trict Judge at Portland, for a
period oj four years.
This appointment is made nec
essary by reason of the fact that
William Mason Duncan, who has
been serving as Commissioner
here, resigned the position after
his election,as District Attorney
last November.
Mr. Thomas was special agent
of the General'' Land Office at
Portland from 1911 to 1913 and
entered the practice of law here
in 1914.
and brought back, a large amount of
liquor, which was stored in the homes
of the two firemen on the East Side.
On November 29, It is said, Campbell
and Tracy made another trip to Horn-
orook and on the. return were, stopped
in Albany. Campbell, it is said, escaped
rom there and Tracy was retained for
time. In some manner the name of
Hawkins became involved and it was
through this that the investigation
tarted locally.
TWO INDIANS SENTENCED
Liquor Charge Proved, but Older
Man May Get Commutation.
Shem Lafayette and William Metcalf,
wards of the Government on the Slletz
Indian Reservation, were both found
guilty yesterday in Federal Judge
Beans court of taking liquor onto the
reservation. Sentence will be passed
this morning.
The minimum penalty each can re
ceive is a fine of $100 and 60 days in
the county Jail.
Metcalf has been in trouble before.
but Lafayette, who is old. has never
been. He was made the tool of Met
calf in the purchase, of the liquor, it
was said; but each was guilty of tak-
ng it onto the reservation and getting
drunk.
Some effort may be made to have
Lafayette's jail sentence shortened or
commuted, as he is old and confine
ment would probably seriously impair
his health.

BINDER TWINE RISE
NOT DUET0IV1AKERS
Senate Special Committee
Exonerates Manufactur
ers in United States.
SISAL MONOPOLY BLAMED
Backing by American Bankers of
Yucatan Concern Which Controls
Supply Declared Responsible.
Prosecution Is Doubtful.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. The Inter
national Harvester Company and other
American manufacturers of - binder
twine have been exonerated of re
sponsibility for its increased price in
the report of the Senate special com
mittee, which investigated the Yucatan
sisal monopoly.
"There was no evidence," says the
report, "showing, that the American
manufacturer is responsible for the in
creased price of binder twine, but, on
the contrary, it is conclusively shown
that the price is based on the cost of
the raw material."
CHICAGO. Jan. 10. (Special.) Cyrus
H. McCormick, president of the Inter
national Harvester Company, gave out
tonight the following interview:
"I have before me a telegraphic sum
mary with direct quotations from the
report unanimously rendered by the
Senate subcommittee which spent sev
eral months last year investigating the
importation of Yucatan sisal fiber and
the manufacture of binder twine in the
United States.
Bankers Are Blamed.
"This report, signed by Senators
Ransdell. of Louisiana; Gronna, of
North Dakota, and Wadsworth of New
York, finds, in effect, that the grain
farmers of the United States are being
taxed $12,000,000 a year increased cost
of their binder twine, solely througli
the operations of a foreign monopoly
financed and made effective by a com
bination of American bankers.
"It shows plainly that neither the In
ternational Harvester Company nor any
other American twine manufacturer is
or has been in any degree responsible
for the increase of the price of binder
twine, but that it Is wholly due to the
control of the sisal production by 'the
Yucatan monopoly, financed by Amer
ican capital. v
"The report recommends to the De
partment of Justice such action as the
facts developed by the subcommittee's
inquiry warrant. It also recommends
such representation by the State De
partment to the de facto government of
Mexico as may relieve American agri
culture from the excessive increases in
the price of binder twine imposed by
the Yucatan monopoly.
"Before the Yucatan monopoly be
came effective through its financial
support by American bankers, the av
erage price of sisal fiber over a long
period was bib cents a pound. The
present price ia 14 H cents.
Monopoly on Foreign Soil.
'The report says in part:
' "As this monopoly is beyond " the
territory of the United States, it is dif
ficult to see how it can be reached,
though possibly the actions of its
agents In this country may come with-
n the purview of our anti-trust laws.
The - . Pan-American Commission
Corporation (the company formed by
Chicago, New York and New Orleans
bankers to finance the Yucatan mo
nopoly) ... Is an American corpo
ration and amenable to our laws " if
they have been violated. Without the
aid of these 'American bankers, wno
kept $10,000,000 constantly at the dis
posal of the Comision Reguladora
(the Yucatan concern), it would have
been unable to effect and carry out its
monopolistic combination to control the
sisal market and fix the price regard
less of the law of supply and demand
and entirely at Its own option.'
It is to be hoped that this report
and further action by the Government
may result in bringing relief to the
farmers who .are being compelled to
pay millions for the benefit of this
Yucatan monopoly.

OREGON C1TT, Or., Jan. 10. (Spe
cial.) Tom P. Randall, receiver for the
Northwestern Association, today filed
his report In the Clackamas County
Circuit Court. The report shows the
tangled condition of the association's
affairs. The head of the concern. Jesse
Hazell, recently completed a sentence
of a year in the Multnomah County
Jai! on a charge of using the malls to
defraud.
Claims for more than $31,000 have
been filed with the receiver, although
many contract holders. It is thought,
have not reported. The association pro
posed to plant and sell small orchards
In this county on the installment plan.
The chance for any of the 4 In
vestors to recover any of the money
they sank in the Clackamas County
orchard tracts is considered remote.
The property at Redlands, which was
to have been divided into small tracts
and planted in fruit trees, was heavily
mortgaged, even while the association
was selling contracts, and since the
appointment of Mr. Randall as receiver.
foreclosure decrees have been obtalnea

Georgce Shaw Ufli Out of County Jail
on Writ of Habeas C'orpaa and
Appeal Mill He Taken.
George Shaw was released from the
County Jail yesterday on a writ of
habeas corpus granted by Circuit Judge
Gantenbein. because of the insufficiency
of the complaint which had been made
against Shaw in the Municipal Court.
The jurisdiction of the city court
over state offenses was not passed
upon by Judge Gantenbcin. though
raised In the petition for a writ filed
by Attorney Carl Mack.
Deputy District Attorney Collier, ap
pearing for the state, held that the
complaint gave sufficient facts air?i
further maintained that a writ of
habeas corpus was an improper pro
ceeding for the reason that after judg
ment had been, passed tho only recourse
for tha prisoner was appeal or a writ
of review. Time had passed for appeal
or writ of error and only a pardon by
the Governor should release Shaw, ar
gued "Mr. Collier.
Judge Gantenbeln held that a habeas
corpus writ might be used when time
for appeal had expired, and asserted
that the prisoner had served two and
a half months of a six months' term
for vagrancy, which had been sufficient
punishment.
Mr. Collier announced that he would
