z THE SUNDAY OREGOKIAN, PORTLAND. APRIL 24, 1004. ATEL1TSIT Scope of Chinese Exclu sion Legislation. REAFFIRM PRESENT LAWS Blow Is Aimed at Steamers Having Large Contracts, ALL ALIENS WILL BE KEPT OUT General Deficiency Appropriation Bill Is Passed, Leaving But One Other Measure of This Kind to Be Acted Upon. --- The general deficiency appropriation bill vras passed by the Senate, leaving but one of the appropriation bills un acted upon by that body. A large number of amendments -were adopted, among them one limiting the Chinese exclusion legislation to a reaffirmation of the exclusion law of 1002, and other existing exclusion laws. An amendment which nas accepted was that excluding Chinese and other aliens coming In as a Tesult of agree ments between other countries and steamship companies, having especial reference to a contract between the Cunard Line and the government of Hungary to supply annually 50,000 Im migrants to the steamship company. About 200 private pension bills were passed. WASHINGTON, April 23. When the Senate convened today Piatt presented a protest from the chairman of commerce of New York against the Chinese exclu sion amendment to the general deficien cy bill, declaring that In view of the ef forts that are being made to cultivate and Increase trade relations -with the Chinese Empire, further restrictive meas ures would, in our opinion, be suicidal, and we- Kelieve would entirely subvert these efforts. The protest was ordered printed. The deficiency bill was laid before the Senate and the consideration of Chinese exclusion rider immediately entered upon. Cullom's amendment to the rider was discussed at length, much of the debate turning upon section six of the bill pro hibiting the entrance into the United States "or any territory subject to its Jurisdiction" of persons of Chinese de scent "unless citizens of the United States by birth or unless they come in as a spe cial privilege." Cullom's amendment provides for the elimination of this section and other Sen ators agreed that it should either go out or be modified. Piatt (Conn.) said that as the provision reads it would have the effect of preventing the use of Cnl . neso labor in connection with the Pan ama canal, and Spooner suggested It would be poor policy for the United States to fetter its hands as to the labor to be employed on the canal. He sug gested that if the section would have that effect It should be stricken out. Teller said he was perfectly indifferent as to whetner Chinamen were admitted or excluded from Panama. He gave as a reason that it had been demonstrated that Chinese laborers could not perform the work on the isthmus, and therefore their admission -would not injure Ameri can la'oor Reason for China's Action. Piatt said China's reason for denouncing the existing treaty was due to the fact that the country desired to secure a more explicit definition of the word "laborer," and a new treaty was In process of for mation to that end. He did not desire to open the doors to Chinese labor, but he did think, he said, that other classes should not be so rigidly excluded. After reviewing the various sections of the provisions, he said there was no necessity for it, and he advised thd Sen ate to refrain from entering upon general legislation "so difficult, so delicate and so doubtful as to its propriety." Heyburn expressed a willingness to ad mit Chinese into the canal zone, but said they should not be permitted to remain after completing their work. Stewart supported the Cullom amend ment as all that was necessary at the present' time. Galllnger submitted a number of tele grams from business organizations pro testing against the House provisions, and spoke against it, saying we should do all that could be done to preserve such nego tiations with China as would Drotect our trade with that country. Cullom's amendment was agreed to without division. Liodge's amendment for the exclusion of "Chinese and other aliens whose Immigration is induced by agree ments between foreign governments and steamship companies" was also agreed to after a brief discussion by Lodge. He said the amendment was Intended for a condition that had crown out of a con tract between the Government of Hungary and the Cunard Steamship Company. TTNEIT m HIS EYES. (Continued from First Page.) platforms, hut it fails to write a new plank concerning this subject The la beling iiien arealro trying to secure an eight-hour day, but the New Vorl' plat form is silent on this subject The la boring men are trying to secure tbo abolition of government by injunction. Both the Chicago and Kansas City pint forms contaired planks on this sub ject, but the New York platform dodges this as it dies all other vital educa tions. "On the tariff question no issue is joined. Mr. Hill and Judge Parker seem to be as much afraid of the tariff question as of other issues. Not a Line in Behalf of People. "Tho money question is ignored entire ly. No reference is made to blmetalism at any ratio not even to international blmetalism, to which Mr. Hill seemed to be so attached In the Chicago Convention. No reference is made to the measure now before Congress to melt up nearly 600,000, 000 legal tender silver dollars Into sub sidiary coin that is only a limited legal tender. Nothing is said about the asset currency which is a part of the scheme of the financiers. Nothing Is said about the Aldrlch bill, which proposes to sub sidize the banks into opposition to tax re duction by lending them the surplus money In the Treasury. There Is no con demnation of the corruption that such a system would lead to. The platform does not antagonize the proposition now before Congress to give the National banks un limited control over the volume of paper - '. In other words, there is not a lino in the platform that Is written in be half of the people: not a line that will ex cito criticism In Wall street. "The platform Ignores tho income tax; it falls to indorse the, election of Senators by direct vote, and also omits the plank of the Kansas City platform denouncing corporate domination in politics. Fit Only for Dishonest Party. "The New York platform is a Dishonest platform, fit only for a dishonest party. No one but an artful dodger would stand upon it. The submission of such a "plat form to the voters of a state Is an Insult to their intelligence, for It is intended to deceive them, and a deliberate attempt to deceive, especially so clumsy an at tempt as this platform is, Is a reflection upon tho brains of those to whom It is submitted. "This platform proves that the opposl-H tlon to the Kansas City platform Is not opposition to sliver, but opposition to every needed reform and opposition to all that the masses desire. "I had expected triat a platform pre pared by Mr. Hill for Judge Parker would be evasive and lacking in frankness, but I did not conceive that any body of men calljng themselves Democrats would pre sent such a platform as a recommenda tion of a candidate. If we are to take the New York platform as an indication of what the next Democratic platform Is to be, in case the reorganlzera control the convention, then we will be unable to deny the secret purpose of the reorganlz ers to turn the party oter to predators wealth. With such a platform and a can didate who would be willing to run upon it, the party could secure as large a cam paign fund as tho Republican party has ever secured, but in securing it, It would." like the Republican party, secretly pledge the Administration to a construction of tho platform satisfactory to the corpora tions and the combinations. Would Be Mortgaged Beforehand. "Can any one doubt that with such a platform as was adopted in New York, and with a candidate whose conscience would permit him to run upon such a plat formdoes any one doubt that with such a platform and candidate the party would be mortgaged beforehand to the corpora tions that are now using the Government as a private asset and plundering the peo ple at will? "But there Is another reason why the Democratic party cannot afford to go be fore the country with an ammguous plat form and an uncertain candidate. No matter how many people may differ as to the relative Importance of issues, all must recognize that the trust question today presents an important phase of the great conflict between plutocracy and Democ racy. We have recently had a Supreme Court decision on the merger case. This decision was rendered by a bare majority of one, and that one (Judge Brewer), in a separate opinion, has statu- his position in such a way as to leave no doubt that in the first case involving a trust he may Join the majority and defeat the Sherman law. The President to be elected this Fall will doubtless have the appointment of one or two and possibly three Supreme Court Judges. If his sympathies are with the corporations he will doubtless appoint Judges satisfactory to the corporations, especially if obligated to the corporations by large campaign contributions, and these Judges can make it impossible to secure any remedial legislation for years to come. If, four years hence, the people should se cure a President, a Senate and a House opposed to private monopolies, they may find themselves unable to get any reme dial legislation past the Supreme Court for several years. Battle Between Masses and Capital. "The issue presented today in the trust question, and in all the other questions with which we have to deal, is the ques tion between human rights and the so called 'property rights' or, more properly speaking, between ordinary people and the greatcorporatlons. Those who be lieve that property rights are supreme take the side of the trusts. If we have a President who is in sympathy with this theory, it means that the dollar will be given consideration before men. It means that organized wealth can con tinue to trample upon the rights of the people; It means that the Instrumentali ties of government can be used for the protection of every scheme of exploitation that the capitalists-can conceive. "I, for one, am not willing that the Democratic party shall become the tool of the corporations; I am not willing that It shall become the champion of organ ized wealth. "If any of those who are present to night, or read what I say, think that I am trying to interfere with Democratic success, let me answer that no Democrat is more anxious for the party to succeed than I am. No one has suffered more from dissensions and divisions in the party, and no one, I believe, Is more eager for tho country to enjoy the great benefits which a triumph of real Democ racy would bring. But I do not desire that the party shall win offices only. If that Is the only purpose of the party, let its principles be abandoned, and its plat form simply declare the party is hungry for patronage. "The New York platform Is ambiguous. uncertain, evasive and dishonest. It would disgrace the Democrats of the Na tlon to adopt such a platform, and it ought to defeat as an aspirant for a Democratic nomination any man who would be willing to have it go forth as a declaration of his views on public ques tlons. In Illinois, in Wisconsin, in Michigan, in Minnesota, in Indiana, in Ohio and in every state that has not acted, it behooves the Democrats to arouse themselves and organize to the end that they may prevent tho consum mation of the schemes of the reorgan lzera. The scheme begins with the de ception of the rank and file of the party. It Is to be followed up by the debauch ing of the public -with a campaign fund secured from corporations, and it is to be consummated by the betrayal of the party organization and of the country into the hands of those who are today menacing the liberties of the country by their exploitation of tho producers of wealth."

SHERIFF KILLS BOY Chester Keady Was Resisting Arrest at Gorvallis, TWO HEN BADLY WOUNDED Fatal Outcome of Foolish Shooting by the Keady Youth While Un der the influence of Li quor at a Late Hour. CORVAL.L.IS, Or., April 24. (Special.) Chester Keady Is dead, James Dunn, ex-Chief of Police of Corvallls, is perhaps fatally shot; David A. Osburn, ex-Sheriff of Benton County, -is dangerously shot, as the result of a pistol duel that took place shortly after midnight this, Sunday, morning. Keady is aged about 18 years, and Is the son of George B. Keady, head of tho printing department at tho college. He was shot in the head and instantly killed by Sheriff Burnett while resisting arrest. His body now lies at the morgue. Osburn and Dunn aro at the Occidental Hotel, where surgeons are probing for bullets. Osburn's wound is in the neck, the ball having entered tho left side of the neck and is probably lodged under the right shoulder blade. Dunn's wound fs In the abdomen, two inches to the left and below the navel. The surgeons are now in the midst of an op eration to determine the character of his injuries. The trouble began shortly before mid- night when Keady, after leaving a res taurant, fired off his pistol, and ex-Sheriff Osburn, who is night officer of Corvallls, undertook to arrest him. Keady was un der the influence of liquor, and when Os burn approached he drew a gun and or dered Osburn to halt There was some parleying and In the process of the attempt to arrest Keady the pursued and pursuer passed from Chlpman's restaurant to the Postoffice, a distance of a block. There, as Osburn advanced, Keady fired, and the officer, shot through the neck, fell in the arms of bystanders. Sheriff Burnett was Bent for, and in due time arrived. James Dunn accompanied him, and the Shqriff, approaching Keady near James Taylor's residence, took Keady by the arm and ordered him un der arrest Keady whipped out a pistol and began to fire. The first shot went wide of the mark, and a second, also aimed at the Sheriff, took effect in Dunn's abdomen. Thon Burnett fired, and Keady fell with a shot in the head. Dunn fell into the arms of a companion, firing two shots from his pistol at Keady as he did so. Burt Turney, aged 22, is in custody as an ac cessory with Keady. - T REGISTER NOW.

(Continued from First Page.) 4 mlttee ever contributed as muca as my railroad fare during all that campaign." This was greeted with prolonged cheers and applauses on the Democratic side. "I do not suppose the gentleman paid any railroad fare," said DalzelL Cockran said he paid his own expenses wherever he went, and continued: "I challenge the gentleman now, as I challenged Mr. Hanna while he was liv ing, as I challenged- the New York Tribune last Fall In New York, while Mr. Hanna was still living, and as I now challenge everyone on that side, to show where In the last 20 years I have not been a subscriber to instead of a re cipient from campaign funds. The gen tleman attributes to me what he knows to be the universal custom of every Re publican politician." This was greeted with prolonged cheers by the Democrats. "I should not have respected the gen tleman," retdrted Cockran, "but it has been my experience In life that no man is quick to accuse another of any infamy unless he has been intimate with it him self." There was more applause and cheering on the Democratic side. "The gentleman better apply that logic to himself right now, and let me say to him what I said I have been informed." "By whom, by whom?" shouted Cock ran; "name him. name him." "By a Democrat," replied Dalzell, and was about to continue. "Name him, name him," again shouted Cockran. .. "Name him now and here." There was- a chorus of "name him, name him," on the Democratic side. "Name him, or admit that jou are," Cockran said, and paused, "what cannot be said In this House. At this there was wild and tumultuous cheering and applause on the Democratic side. "Why of course I will not name him," said Dalzell. "Of course not of course not," shouted a dozen Democrats. "Sir," thundered Cockran, turning to the Speaker, "the man who makes this confession cannot interrupt me again or come voluntarily within the range of my vision." So vociferous was the Democratic dem onstration that it was some time before Cockran"could resume. No Matter Whether Parker or Folk. He then continued discussion of the trust question. Describing the long reign and mistakes of the Republican party, Cockran predicted Its reign would end, and end now. It mattered not whether the man to lead the Democracy to victory was the one named by the New York convention. Judge Parker, or whether the leader should be the man who suppressed boodle and crime In Missouri. In any event he hoped the minority leader of the House, Williams (Miss.) would be on the ticket When Cockran concluded, Grosvenor de manded the previous question on the bill. He withheld the motion to allow Liver nash (Dem., Cal.) to offer an amendment to extend the Inquiry of the proposed com mission to the committee for the welfare of American seamen to Lucking (Dem., Mich.), who offered an amendment which provided that no plan or policy be passed by the committee involving the payment of subsidies or bounties from the United States Treasury. "A tie-up" resulted on a request for "leave to print," which was objected to, and Williams (Dem.. Miss.) warned Gros venor (O.) that he would make no speed by pressing his motion and cutting, off debate. Consequently when the motion was put a rollcall was demanded. Tho motion prevailed, 155 to 226. The committee amendments to the bin were agreed to without opposition, also that offered by Livernash (Dem., Cal.). On that offered by Lucking (Dem., Mich.) a rollcall was ordered. The amendment was adopted. Another rollcall was obtained by the Democrats on the passage of the bill. The bill was passed. IIS to 144. Livernash (Dem., Cal.) and Wynn (Dem., Cal.) voted with the Republicans for the bill. At 5:32 the House adjourned. WInthrop Will Succeed Hunt. WASHINGTON, April 23.

Paper of EnVicW Chicago Takes a Fall Out of the Metropolis. Chicago Chronicle. A Philadelphia editor recently had some Interesting pecuniary experiences in New York. A cabman demanded 52.50 for haul ing him a distance for which the legal fare was 51; for a 3-cent paper theVttend ant at the hotel news-stand demanded 10 cents; he gave a 15-cent fee to the waiter who served his dinner and the Insulted waiter manifested his displeasure by grumbling; the tlcketseller at a theater boxofilce where he went to purchase seats informed him that the house was "sold out" and referred him to the ticket speculators, who asked an exorbitant price for the desired seats; In a barber shop where the regular charge for a haircut and shampoo Is 60 cents the bar ber demanded 51; a florist wanted 53 for 54 worth of flowers; one merchant offered him a 53 bogus delft plate for 575; an other wanted 5-10 for a pair of 55 andirons, and in an "art" store a worked-over print was offered as an original drawing. "Wherever he went ho found the same system, of petty extortion on the part of lackeys and the same petty swindling practiced by many of the smaller mer chants. The editor's published account of his experiences, accompanied by a dignified protest, created great levity in the me tropolis, notwithstanding the fact that he did not submit to the extortionate charges nor fall a victim to the swin dling dealers. The Incident has been a bountiful source of mirth from the met ropolitan press and the Inspiration for many a quip on "slow" Philadelphia and the tribulations of "Jays." Th people of the country at large, however, havo not been thrown into any paroxysms of laughter, and those who have tho habit of thinking before giving expression to their feelings have no diffi culty in restraining their mirth In this particular instance. It is fortunate,, too, that there are still a great many peo ple who cannot see any humor in at tempted extortion or downright swin dling; fortunate for civic government, for the business interests of the country and future citizenship. The case of the Philadelphia editor is not an isolated one. His experience In New York Is the common experience of visitors in that city and of a considerable part of the local population. Unfortu nately, too. the system of extortion and petty swindling practiced there upon such a large scale Is not confined to that city. It is more or less prevalent In all large cities. ' Outside of New York, however, it Is re garded as symptomatic of a low state of public morals which many people believe to be the chief cause of economic and civic tils. In these communities where the sense of humor has not been so high ly developed as in the metropolis moral delinquency Is not yet regarded as "fun ny." Daughters of Revolution Meet.
