last week that the right and proper
appellation of the great mountain of
the ancient "Tahomas" is "Rainier"
and not "Tacoma."
At a conclave of the tribe today the
braves went on the war path, although
not one drop of Si per cent beverage
was served at the meal. They de
manded that every member of the
tribe stand by his bow and arrow, and
in his inditements to friends and others
outside the precincts of Tacoma use the
name Rainier Instead of Tacoma In referring-
to the mountain.
Tribesman Louis Burnett's voice pre
vailed in a suggestion that seven
braves shall sit before the great fire

Tacoma in all its advertisements and

The testimony of Mr. Butler, widely
known banker and lumberman with ex
tensive operations in the northwest,
" viewed in interest with that of
Joseph A. Mallory, former private in
the spruce division, who charged that
the men in the spruce camps of the
Sicms-Carey company were forced to
work when III. received sour and un
fit food and Inadequate clothing and
.were at me merry of the system of
maintenance charges that left them an
aterage of Ti cents a day for their
toll,
These vivid features lapsed to coma
when Chairman Frear made fierce pro
test against the method In which Rep
resentative Lea. democrat, questioned
iir. Butler under cross-examination.

Further Butler himself, stung by the
Insinuation that tenders of Puget
bound lumbermen to produce spruce
without profit were not sincere, flamed
Into rebellion and cast his reserve to
the winds, informing Representative
that he and his associates had
suffered sufficient humiliation and
would endure no more.
"I want to say apropos of the giving
of these contracts." stated Mr. Butler,
"of the mysterious manner In which
they were given, thnt there is only one
answer, and the itnswer is that the
people who were enabled to obtain
this contract, the Sirms-Carey people,
enjoyed very singular political Influ

NOG ALES, Arli- Aug. 26. Colonel
Earl A. Carnahan of the 25th Infantry,
fn command of the Arizona military dis

members of his command to visit
Nogales for two days. He also Issued an
order for the establishment of a motor
transport line to Tucson and elsewhere
for the purchase of supplies for the
local military camp, which is quartering:
2300 Infantrymen and 200 cavalrymen.
In his communication Colonel Carna

'The local community hae so long
endured the practices of the profiteers
and with so little prospect of relief
through action by the authorities, that
It seems that the only remedy left us
is that of public protest."

"We see a man." continued the wit

grave responsibility, playing with his
government, playing with business
men a colonel, lieutenant-colonel, who

Me fade nis colleagues remember
that the Siema-Carey railroad contract,
for the construction of a line via Lake

county, had been begun only after Gen

neers of the Chicago. Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad and with President
By ram himself.
Further comment was made of the
fact that the Stems-Carey logging con
tract was approved by none other than
James D. Kyan. then head of the air
craft bureau, who was a member of
the board of directors and of tbe execu
tive committee of the Milwaukee road.
It was added as of renewed signifi
cance that when the line was con

It was while Representative Lea.
whose attitude in the inquiry Is favor
able to the spruce corporation, was
questioning Mr. Butler that the spark
f partisan feeling fired the powder
train and temporarily hoisted the con
duct of the inquiry into a troubled
crater of dispute and accusation.
Representative Lea. forcing Mr. But
ler to admit that he never had made
a personal inspection of the renowned
14.000.000 J-mile railroad to Pleasant
lake's celebrated spruce, had gone
blithely on to interrogate the witness
regarding the proposal of Puget sound
Independent loggers, represented in the
Loggers Information association, to log
spruce without a cent of profit to themselves.
This proposal, said the loggers, was

Complete revolution of regulations
governing the public market on Yam
hill street and dismissal of J. A. East
man, the market master, were recom
mended in the report of the committee
of housewives submitted amid clam
orous applause yesterday afternoon at
a mass meeting In the Central library.
The committee, headed by Mrs. F. O.
Northrup. drew up the set of findings
after conducting an investigation of
conditions existing on Yamhill street.
A revised version of the city ordi
nance at present governing the market
was also prepared and read at yester
day meeting, being submitted a clause
at a time for discussion and adoption.
Sweeping; Changes Urged.
Changes fn the original regulations
to be submitted to the council by the
same committee of five would provide
for a self-pricing system of sales, do
ing away with the custom of having
the marketmaster fix maximum fig
ures on goods. They would do away
with the office of marketmaster and
assistant and would place in their
stead a commission of three, beaded by
a man at a salary of J150. The other
members of the board would be women.
In order that each farmer might have
a turn at the most desirable locations
on the streets, stalls would be rotated
each week, so that their occupants
would be kept moving oa constantly.
Much confusion attended the tneet
ing, which was constantly being called
to order by Mrs. J. F. Chapman. The
audience was divided over a number
of minor points and it was necessary
to call frequently for a standing vote,
when questions were In doubt. A large
number of farmers who have stalls in
the market presented their views, and
replied heatedly to the arguments of
the housewives. Wording of a num
ber of clauses brought objections. Some
desired to bar from the market those
who do not live in the Immediate
vicinity of Portland, while several
pointed out that by not placing a
limit on them competition would be
keener. After this was voted on three
times a motion to leave the market
With the arrest of John Wharton,
ironworker, in a lonely spot near tb
Idaho-Oregon boundary, 75 miles north
east of Baker, Or., federal officials be
lieve -they have broken up a notorious
gang of moonshiners. Deputy United
States Marshal Pace brought Wharton
to Portland last night.
The cabin where the distilling I
alleged to have been done is in the
gorge of Snake river. It belonged to a
homesteader, whose horses eked ou
a bare existence grazing among th
rocks, while their owner made hi
living working for neighboring farm
ers. The still might have been operated
indefinitely if the homesteader had not
hired Wharton to work for him.
Ed Rand, formerly sheriff of Bake
county, now an Internal revenue offi
cer, heard that the homesteader had
hired a man.
"What for?" he thought. "That
squatter works out himself most of the
year."
Mr. Rand rode down to the cabin
As he approached he scented some
thing that suggested corn whisky in
the making.
Rand captured Wharton, but the
homesteader escaped. Near the cabin
was found' a store of cornmeal, some
peaches and some corn mash. The still
is said to have been one of the best so
far captured in eastern Oregon..
Mr. Pace also arrested four alleged
moonshiners in Prairie City, Or., and
two in Baker. The four in Prairie City
were Frank McCarty, Dan Daly, Ar
thur Hanenkrat and Charles Ross. The
two In Baker were Barney Donnelly
and Claude Rains.

MARSH KiELD, Or., Aug. 26. (Spe

at sea, searching- for any possible re
mains of the gasoline schooner Rustler,
which burned off Car Blanco last Sun
day. News of the disaster is meager,
but the four men on board escaped -in
a small skiff carried on board.
The Rustler sailed from, Rog'ue river
Sunday, having from 1500 to 1900 cases
of salmon for delivery on Coos bay. The
cause of the fire was not learned, but
it is supposed to have been due to fumes
from the engine room igniting. The
Rustler was valued at $15,000 and the
cargo was worth $10,000. The Rustler
was built on Coos bay.

Board of Railways Urged to
Deal With Inequalities.
MEN ASKED TO STAY ON JOB
Employes Requested by Officers of
Union Not to Walk Out Until
Ballot Is Had.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. Railroad
shopmen throughout the United States
will begin voting immediately on
w.hether they will accept the wage
proposals made yesterday by President
Wilson and Director-General Hines or
go out on strike to enforce their de
mands for a general advance in pay.
On the outcome of the balloting
hinges industrial peace on the govern
ment-controlled railroads. If the 500,-
000 shopmen decide to accede to
President Wilson's decision that there
shall be no general wage advances un
til the government shows what can be
one to control the rising cost of liv
ing, sufficient time to effect some
change in the price levels probably
will elapse before other unions press
their demands for more money.
What action the government may be
expected to take in the event of a vote
by the shopmen to strike for an im
mediate increase in wages, which Pres.
ident Wilson has said would have
isastrous effect on efforts to bring
own prices, has not been disclosed, if
indeed It has been considered.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26. Provision
for American representation on a score
of international commissions to carry
out details of the peace settlement
would be stricken out of the peace
treaty under a sweeping amendment
adopted today by the senate foreign re
lations committee.
Later In the senate itself the com
mittee's previous decision to amend the
Shantung clause raised a debate with
Senator McCumber, republican. North
Dakota, bitterly attacking the commit
tee's course and Senator Borah defend
ing it. Both are members of the com
mittee. At the end of the day Senator Hitch
cock, Nebraska, the democratic leader,
talked over the possibilities of the sit
uation with President Wilson at the
White House and predicted afterward
that all amendments would be defeated
eventually and that the treaty would be
ratified during September.
In its decision regarding American
participation in the reconstruction com
missions the committee divided on
party lines, the nine republicans pres
ent standing as a unit for the amend
ment and the seven democratic votes
all being recorded in the negative. Sen
ator McCumber, who voted with the
democrats against the Shantung amend
ment, was absent.
One Commission Excepted.
Although the committee's action
would change the language of the
treaty in more than 50 places, scattered
through - many, sections, an exception
was made of the reparations commis- .
sion, which is to have charge of the col
lection of Germany's indemnity bill.
Senator Fall, republican, New Mexico,
who presented the amendment, said he
had not proposed taking the American
representative from this commission
because he held . American interests
might be directly involved in its work.
In . the commissions which are af
fected by the amendment, Mr. Fall said.
American interests would be eo indirect
as not to compensate for the dangers of
becoming hopelessly involved in Euro
pean affairs.
. Among these commissions are the
bodies set up to rectify the boundary
between Belgium and Germany, to '
establish the free city of Danzig, to
supervise numerous plebiscites and to
take care of various other details under
the treaty. The amendment omits ref
erence to the commissions that are to
be appointed by the league of nations, 1
committee members saying that was a
subject to be dealt with after action
had .been taken regarding the league
covenant itself.
Blow at League Alleged.
In his speech in the senate Senator ,
McCumber declared the committee ma
jority really intended the Shantung
amendment to drive a "poisoned blade"
into the treaty with the purpose of
killing the league of nations. He as
serted that the change which would
give to China instead of to Japan tbe
old German rights in Shantung prov
ince was actually a blow at China be
cause it could, accomplish no result but
to drive Japan out of the league and ,
leave her free to pursue a course of .
spoliation against Chinese territory.
Senator Borah replied that China '
had nothing to hope for under the
league because the same powers which 1
will control its decisions already had
decided her case in favor of Japan.
He reviewed the history of Japanese '
diplomacy in the east and said all the
facts argued against Japan's keeping
her promise to return Shantung to
China.
In , the general debate which devel
oped several other republicans at
tacked the position taken by Senator
McCumber, and Senator Fall announced
that he would reply to the North Da
kota senator at greater length tomor
row. Republican leaders declare the
amendment is assured of senate accept
ance, but after his White House con
ference today Senator Hitchcock de
clared it would be beaten decisively
and there would be a dozen republican
votes against It.
President Well Pleased.
The president, Senator Hitchcock
said, seemed well pleased with the
senate situation and was confident the
treaty would be ratified without any
amendments or reservations.
Tomorrow the committee will resume
consideration of the Fall amendment.
It is hoped to complete this work to
morrow. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, a re
publican member of the committee, an
nounced today he would speak in the
senate Friday on the treaty. He Is
regarded as one of the bitterest oppo
nents of unqualified ratification.
Declaring the republican majority of
the foreign relations committee was
