THE .SUNDAY OREGOyiAy, PORTIAND, OTAlJAKr 21, 190G. u. - it M$ RODEY SPEHKS OUT Corporations Opposejhe Joint Statehood Bill. PUBLIC WISH IS MUZZLED Committee 31 cc tins Is Stirred by Statements Alleging Persecution and Suppression of People's Opinion on Issue. WASHINGTON, Jam 20. B. It. RoScy. ex-Delegate to Congress from New Mex ico, created a furore at today's hearing on the joint statehood bill before the House committee on territories by announcing- "there have been intense per secutions in Arizona. Special interests have porpctrated outrageous and scandal ous suppression o public opinion for the last six months. Thousands favor Joint statehood -who do not dare to say so." The members of the Anti-Joint State hood League who were in the committee room united in a urotest against Ihe statements, but, in response to the chorus of "No," "No," from the Arlzonans, Mr. Rodney declared that tho corporation forces who are opjwslng the joint state hood measure do not care to submit the joint statehood proposition to the people of Arizona. Is Often Interrupted. Rodey afforded -the. Democratic and Ropublican members of the committee an opportunity for a. final tilt. Mr. Rodey was repeatedly interrupted by questions from members of ttie committee and by heated arguments designed to bring out the atti-. tude of the administration on statehood. Representative. Lloyd (Dem. Mo.) asked Mr. Rodey if it were not true that the President and Speaker of tho House were forcing the joint statehood Issue- Mr. Rodey aeked to bo excused from an swering this' question, and Chairman Hamilton (Rp. Mich.) intimated that the Democrats were being forced by their or ganization, to 6pn'o's6 the bill. Representa tive Moon (Dem. Tenn,) interrupted tho argument to -say: "I object to the gentleman from Michi gan and the-gentloman from Missouri hav ing this fus hero when in private they express opposite opinions." i States Arc' Drained. Mr. Rodey denied the system of tax ation In both New Mexico and Arizona, and said corporate Influences have been draining both territories and holding down their taxes. "Under- joint state hood ho said the people of the Xwo territories could unite and curb these influences and prevent their public do main from being stolen. He , .pro nounced tho denunciation of tho Mexi can population in New Mexico as ridic ulous, and said the Mexicans were re ligious and law-abiding, and .in no sense a menace to the welfare of the proposed state. In answer to questions from-Representative Moon, Mr. Rodey made a de tailed statement of how corporate in fluences get control of territorial gov ernments -which are dominated by Fed eral officeholders. He frankly said that he and Delegate Smith and other well-known men ride on railroad passes and place themselves under ob ligations to the companies. Under statehood, ho said. Governors would be responsible directly to the people, ana the 'public demand for increased taxes on corporate interests -would be re spected for political reasons. Mr. Rodey's speech closed the state hood hearing before the House com mittee: SHUTS OUT AMERICAN GOODS New Russian Tariff Proliibitary to Vs, Favorable to Germany. CHICAGO, Jan. 20. A dispatch to tho Record-Herald from Washington says: On March 1 next the duties on machinery, electrical supplies and other articles which are shipped in large quantities from tho United States to Russia will be taxed nearly 100 per cent more than at present; The duties arc to be raised for the pro tection of American, German and other manufacturers, who have been induced to build factories and invest capital in the Russian empire. This is the second time that the Russian Government has increased its import duties upon such merchandise for the same reason, and the ihanufacturers of the United States are the principal sufferers. Last year our direct expofts to Russia were about $10,000,000, but our Indirect exports through Hamburg and other Euro pean markets were very much larger Tho principal direct exports to Russia last year were as follows: Agricultural Implements. $3,812,705; copper, $3,223,945; cotton goods, $5,510,147. There was also a large quantity of iron and steel elec trical supplies and other manufactures. On March 1 the duties on all these ar ticles will be raised 25 to 100 per cent, which are practically prohibitory. Ger man manufacturers of these same articles, who are practically our only competitors, will receive concessions of about one half of the new duties under a reciprocity treats recently made between the two governments. Germany agrees to admit agricultural products from Russia at her minimum rates of duty under this treaty. German manufacturers of machinery, engines, motors, copper wire, electrical supplies and agricultural implements of all kinds will have-a great advantage over Ameri can manufacturers -who produce the same things. CRX OP GRAFT KILLS BILL Moody Censured for Diverting Sup ply Funds to Purchase Portrait. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (Special.)-Tho cry of graft raised in tho Houso of Rep resentatives this afternoon caused the de feat of an amendment to an urgent defi ciency bill appropriating $10,000 to supply an express deficiency in the fund used for the payment of transportation charges on silver from the Subtreasury to trade cen ters. The amendment "was proposed by Generel Klcfer (Rep.) and was opposed by Representatives Tawney (Minn.), Smith (la.) and Hill (Conn.). Representative Hill raised the point of order against It He lost. Hill charged that the appropriation -was a species of graft for the express company. Smith joined him in the dec laration that it was no longer necessary for the Federal Government to continue the appropriation, and that if the trans portation of silver was not made so prof itable tho coin would remain in circula tion longer. Representative Tawney expressed sur prise that the representatives of the ex press company were first to learn that the committee on appropriatons had re fused "to Insert this amendment in the bill. He asserted that early In tho mornr ing following the committee's action rep resentatives of the express companies personally urged upon members the ne cessity for the appropriation. General Kiefer sarcastically remarked that any kind of a measure could be defeated when the cry of graft was raised against It He said be could not understand the consist ency of those members opposing the meas ure at this time, when tkey bad previ ously' apjrYc it The amendment . tints carried on a rising vote, but was lost oa a vote by tellers, 74 to 70. The purchase by Attorney-General Moody of a large portrait of ex-Attorney-General Knox for the Department of Jus tice was again discussed. Chairman Tawney read to the members the request of Attorney-General Moody for an appro priation of $2650. the exact cost of the por trait to meet a deficiency "for necessary expenditures, including telegraph, , fuel, light, foreign postage, labor, repairs to buildings, care of grounds, books of ref erence and other necessaries directed by the Attorney-GeneraL" Chairman Tawney said that he would favor an amendment to the existing laws prohibiting heads of departments from diverting approprations and providing a penalty for conviction. Representative Palmer then drew up an amendment declaring a violation of the law to be a misdemeanor, to be punished by a fine of not less than $100 or impris onment for not less than one month. He announced he would push the amendment later. In repjlying to a question by Paggett (Tenn.). Chairman Tawney said tho pur chase of portraits had become a general practice, but he did not 'Justify it In defending that provision of the bill providing for additional clerk hire for the redemption of National banknotes, Gaines (Tenn.) demanded clean money. He fa vored the rapid settlement of this filthy, rotten, disease-breeding money. Littlefield became quite Jocular in defin ing the progress of scientific nomenclature in the bacteria line. "First in Germany." said he, "these little lively things are known as germs: in Paris as parasites; in Dublin as microbes: and, when they are gone, never to roturn, they are called bacteria." Macon (Ark.) wanted an amendment adopted that would chloroform every Cus-tom-House in the country that did not return any revenue. Floor Leader Payno declared that all useless Custom-Houses would be attended to later, and Macon was satisfied. General Grosvenor took ocacslon to de clare that the cry of the shoe people for free hides was senseless, inasmuch as tho Industry was - the most -profitable 'and prosperous, of .all Industries. Considera tion of the bill was not completed. UPRISING OF BEET SUGAR MEN Transfer War on Philippine Bill to the Senate WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (Special.) " Murmurings arc heard in tho Senate of a possible revolt ,by the. beet-sugar men against the, Philippine tariff bill, taken up today by the committee of Philippines for consideration. Tho opposition of the beet sugar Industryto tho Cuban reci procity treaty developed a strongth among the Republicans, of seven votes. This was enqugh to jdefeat the ratifica tion, a two-thirds vote being necessary. The same strength could not defeat the Philippine bill, which only requires a ma jority. -Millard of Nebraska, who Is up for re election, declares he will stand by the amended measure. -Other -Senators de cline to be quoted. They say they expect tho Senate committee to .amend the .bill by raising the dutv. If this ! nnt i!nn they hint that a vigorous opposition will -J aevciop. in the light against Cuban reci procity Elklns, Teller and Stewart were among the leaders. Teller' Is as strong ly opposed -to tho Introduction of -foreign sugar Into the United States as he ever was. Elkins Is leading the fight against the Administration railway rato bill and Is willing to help a fight against the Philip pine bill in the hope of securing some concessions on the railroad bill. The Philippine tariff bill is not expected to bo reported from committee for several weeks. DENIES CULBERTSOVS CHARGE "Wright Says Philippine Commission ers Own No Land. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (Special.) The War Department, in response to Senator Culberson's resolution asking as to the Interest of Government official in land transactions along the lines of the proposed railways In the Philippines, will state that no American member of the Philippine Commission owns any realty In the islands. Governor-General Wright said today It was determined, when the first Civil Com mission was organized, that ownership 'of real property or other interests by Am erican Commissioners in the Philippines would be in questionable taste, and,, so the Commissioners refrained from any such investments. He said, however, that tho native commissioners were men of large property and probably owned much real estate in the islands. None of thin, it is understood, has been acquired lately and none is situated so as to be directly benefited by the proposed railroad sys tem.

WISH DIRECT SUFFRAGE Party "Will Participate In Elections to . National Assembly, hut Will Not Bind Delegates to Spe cific Agrarian 3Icasurcs. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 20. The role of the Constitutional Democratic party in the National Assembly, according to a resolution adopted at tho convention, which opened here January 18. -will be to obstruct all ordinary legislation. However, in case the attempt at tho first session to convert the Assembly Into a full-fledged constituent body Is successful, the members of the Con stitutional Democratic party will en deavor to secure the passage of an election law provldipg for general, di rect and equal suffrage and statutes guaranteeing liberty of speech, assem bly, press and religion and measures for the pacification of the country. A resolution providing for the par ticipation of tho Constitutional Demo cratic party in the elections to the National Assembly was passed, with only two dissenting votes, thus nulli fying the -chances- of a split which the oxtremists hoped. to effect on this Ques tion.. At the suggestion of M. Bodltcheffi the convention declined to bind the party's representatives in the National Assembly to any specific measures re garding the solution of tho agrarian Question. A resolullon not to hold a session of the convention Monday. In memory ol the victims of "Red Sunday" was carried by a bare majority of two. the opponents of the motion urging the- impossibility of fin ishing the work of the convention, which would -be dragged out in endless speech making. Only a few delegates will re main here until Tuesday "to wind up un finished business which is imperative. Scarcely a hundred delegates were pres ent at the afternoon session of the con vention which decided to ask fon a con ference of the executive committee of the pa"rty leaders with the workmen and So cialists, in order to ascertain whether it is possible to arrange for co-operation in the elections against the federated Moderate parties and the nomination of Joint ticket candidates. An offlciarcommunlcatlon says that seri ous disorders on the anniversary of "Red Sunday" are practically Impossible, as a majority of the workers" are not inclined to indulge In- them. It says also that, the government is determined to stop all mass meetings and demonstrations at the out set. The communication adds that the country is steadily returning to tranquil lity, and that ieace and order are being restored throughout the country, with the exception of, a few border districts.

Tho police are arresting hundreds of persons In consequence of the threat ened strike on Monday. MAKES HIMSELF NECESSARY Wltte Supported by Grand Duke, Who Hates Him. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 20.-(Spcctal.) "There has been an important change In tho relations between Premier Wltto and he Czar and the Grand Duke?." said a Russian general residing at the Court of Tsarskoe-Sclo. "While His Majesty and the Grand Dukes continue to hate Witte personally, politically the Roman offs regard him as the savior of the dy nasty, hence as a necessary eviL The Grand Dukes and the nobility In general support Count Wltte because lie Is dis posed to safeguard their interests and alter the agrarian and fiscal reforms to suit the landed nobility and they control more votes than all tho other clashes combined. He has thus won over the nobility, who were his bitterest enemies rmcrly. He is likely to remain In office while tho present regime lasts." The former ZemstvoisU?. who at the present time are called Democrats, are holding a convention In St Petersburg. M. Feodoroff, president of a railroad and elevator company, one of the Democratic leaders, Ud: r , "We are In favor of a universal suf frage and a constituent assembly, yet we have decided to participate In Count Wltte's Douma. despite the frauds by the government AVe expect to have a ma jority In that body, for the reason that the whole country is Indignant because of the wholesale arrests and massacres of Innocent people during the Imaglnarv revolution, through which Count Wltte wants to swindle us out or our promised constitution." SLAY WORKMEN IN THREES How Soldiers Strike Terror En raged Reds Plan Reprisals. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 20.-(SpecIaU-It Is believed that workmen employed In the government works are being shot after brief trials by court-martials. It Is re ported that the victims selected for slaughter are led out three at a time and executed before the eyes of their com rades, who are awaiting their turn to faco the soldiers. As soon as one batch has been dispatched, three other prisoners are lined up In the same spot and shot Firing has been heard at the .scenes of execution, continuing without cessation. The military has also resorted to beating girls brutally as a means of punishment Stories of the cruelties that are being practiced have become noised about and they have entirely Inflamed the revolu tionists, who are planning reprisals. In the South of Russia there Is a great congestion of grain, as' It has been ac cumulated for some time, and there Is no means of transporting It as the authori ties are too busy with their campaign of repression against the revolutionists to think of the administration of evcry-day affairs. POLICE SEARCH FACTORIES Precautions Arc Taken .to Prevent Outbreaks on Monday. ST., PETERSBURG. Jan. 20. In antici pation of a terrorist attempt at bomb throwing on Monday the police today con ducted searches In all the large factories and, also, as a precautionary measure, gathered in a large number of the lead ers of the worklngmen whom they will detain over Monday.

Alexlevltch Souverin, editor of the Russ. has been sentenced to a year's Imprisonment In a fortress for publishing In December last the manifesto of the workmen's council announcing that the government had de clared civil war on the proletariat and saying that the challenge must be ac cepted. Efforts are being made to secure a mitigation of the sentence. "It is my turn next." There was a veritable panic In the camp of the Liberal press after the sen tence of M. Souverin was made known. The Nashasbisn has refused to print tho apneal of the League of Leagues proclaim ing Monday as a day of general mourning, even though the manifesto expressly stat ed that the demonstration would be con fined to the placing of crepe on windows and abstaining from labor. The Russ. which yesterday prominently displayed an identical proclamation of the work men's union, prints only a harmless lino concerning it There is strong movement in favor of a direct appeal to the Em peror through tho Ministry of Justice in favor of a reduction of the sentence of M. Souverin to three months Imprisonment This is approved by several judges of the courts. M. Sbuvcrln's attorney will file a petition with the Senato for a revocation of the sentence and asking fdr a new trial.
