PRAISES SENATOR FULTON Oregon Man Is Recognized by Presi dent and Senate as Author of Xnrt Review Feature of llir-on Amendments. - OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. May 19. Senator Allison, of Iowa, who represented President Roosevelt throughout the railroad rate fight. - is ouick to defend the work of the Rennb- lican . Senators -from the attacks being made by the Democrats, with a view to manufacturing campaign material for use in various states this Fall. Only yes terday Senator Rayner, of Maryland, made an assault on Senator Fulton, be cause he acknowledged the authorship of the court review feature of the so-called Allison amendment. This attack was ob vfously made for tho purpose of raising this issue in the Oregon campaign. Ray ner cleverly attempted to make it ap pear that Oregon's Republican Senator had proposed an amendment which he contended would nullify the effect of tho Hepburn bill. He did not say so in s many words, but he left it to be inferred that Oregon's Democratic Senator in voting against this amendment had actually voted to strengthen the bill. Gives Fulton Credit. Senator Allison - maintains that the amendment bearing his name had the opposite effect to that claimed by Ray ner. and he gives much credit to Senator Kulton for having drawn it, not alone because it improved the bill, but because It operated to reunite the Republicans of the Senate on the bill which met the liearty approval of the President. The passage of the fate bill with the Allison amendment demonstrated that Allison is still the real leader of the Re publicans in the Senate and was evidence of the complete overthrow of Senator Aldrich, who stoutly fought the Presi dent from the very inception of the rate bill fight. But victory did more; it gave Senator Fuiton standing In the Senate away ahead of every other Senator of etiual term, and won for him place among the prominent lawyers of that body. The prestige he gained in that light will be of Inestimable value to him hereafter. Allison Disclaims Credit. Senator Allison takes little credit to himself for the mighty victory he won. Speaking to The Oregortlan correspond ent today. Senator Allison was inclined lo give much credit to Senator Fulton for bringing about the harmony in the Re publican ranks which resulted In the pas sage of an effective rate bill. Speaking of the court review feature of the famous Allison amendment, so-called, on which llie Republicans united. Senator Allison aid: While that amendment bears my name, I Tant to aeknowledse that ita phraseology wan miKgesterl by Senator Fulton. Ther had been many amendments proposed during the succession of conferences which we held, but his was chosen aa the one best suited to carry out the purpose we all had in view. Senator Fulton may Justry claim credit for having drawn that amendment and in view of what that amendment ac complished, he may well be proud. . Senator Fulton had been conspicuously Identified with the railroad rata bill from the time it was brounht Into the Sejiate tintll it passed.. He followed the discus sion closely and frequently participated - in debate. Tie contributed much of value in his arguments which gave evidence of his thorough familiarity with the subject. In discussing the legal phases of tlie bill. Sen ator Fulton displayed a wide and compre-. henslve knowledge of the law; not knowl edge gained from the study of a few cases, but such knowledge as comes from long ex prience and exhaustive study. Has Won Promotion. In my opinion he acquitted himself splen didly and established a reputation which will give him a high place among the lead ing lawyers of the Senate. The prominence he attained has earned for him a position on the judiciary committee or any other -of the big committees of the Senate. Such promotions are bound to come in time. Oregon has Just reason to be proud of her senior Senator: in my opinion he has paved .the way a successful -public career. High compliment as this Is, the more fluttering coming from Senator Allison, a man not given lo flattery or fulsome praise, and a man absolutely sincere and honest, it is more to Fulton's credit to have established this reputation in his third y at in tlie Senate. No Senator of hs brief service has ullulued such promi nence in the present Senate, no other Western Senator was as conspicuously identified with the rate bill. Senator Al lison is not the only Senator of experi ence to recognize the ability displayed by the Senior Oregon Senator. Several lead ing lawyers who led in the constitutional debate speak as strongly as he. President I.Ikes Amendment. one of these Senators was at Speaker t'annon's reception a day or two after inft "Allison amendment'' was made pub lic. Vie was standing near President Jtoosevelt, when Senator Fulton arrived. The President, who had not previously known the real author of this amend ment, caught sight of the Oregon man, and, vigorously extending his hand, ex claimed: "Hello, Senator Fulton, I con gratulate you on your amendment. It was a splendid solution of all the differ ences. 1 want to thank you for it." Senator Allison took occasion today to repeat that the bill as passed does not provide for broad court review. "The bill in a nutshell is merely this,'' said he. Congress confers upon the Interstate I ommerce Commission the power to fix rates. Decisions of the commission un der the authority conferred by Congress have no effect of law and can only be set aside as a law is revoked. The so called Allison amendment, notwithstand ing the contentions of many lawyers of the Senate, does not provide a broad court review." SKXATOItS AUK IMPROVING. Jleyburn and Dubois Now Well on Kond to Recovery. ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. May 19.

Might Even Put President Roosevelt in Jail. WASHINGTON, May. 19. (Special.) The House arose toda In its wrath and put to eternal sleep a measure that it. had previously passed, making it a peniten tiary offense for any official or employe of the Government, including Senators and Congressmen, to make public any secret information that would have an effect upon the market value of any American products. The bill originally passed the House some weeks ago without discussion, and was Intended to remedy a defect in the law as exposed by the recent cotton scandal in the Department of Agriculture. It was amended by the Senate, and the report of the conferees brought the matter to the attention of the House today. After a heated debate in which the measure was attacked as vicious legisla tion by McCall of Massachusetts. Gros venor, of Ohio, and Crumpacker. of Indi ana, Republicans, and defended by Burle son. Democrat, of Texas, its author, and Chairman Jenkins, of the judiciary com mittee, the House, by a record vote of 107 to 66. tabled the bill, having refused in the first instance to agree to the report of the conferees. - McCall Leads Attack. McCall, who led the- fight on the meas ure, declared . that it changed the entire fabric of the criminal law. Grosvenor interrupted to say the only way to get the measure out of the way was to promptly kill It.. It attempts to create an Ideal of the universe." continued McCall. "It is dim- cult to keep the lid down on secret information.-. If an official can give informa tion only at the peril of his Hbertv It would be for him to imitate the clam. vve may have a President some time who may delight in saying things as well as doing things. Suppose he gives out facts that he may intend to put in a message to Congress, then under the terms of this bill he will have to be imprisoned." Applies to All Alike. When the laughter had subsided, he said the bill applles to the President, scrubwom clerks ' and members of Congress. 'e rldlculed the fact that would q.ft-et pres. -et feiL tiTe Congressmen get to gether ;ie continued, "load down one member witTi all their secret informa tion, send him to Wall street. Back him with all the money the members pos sess and every member will go broke." MaKe your bill perfect, he said to Burleson. "If a member Is absent, send him to the penitentiary; if he refuses to vote, have him fined in Police Court. It the Speaker attempts to play the part of a Czar, let him be' flogged at the cart s tail In tne public square. The measure is vicious; it furnishes hate and partisanship. It will not encourage honest men to come here. If it -becomes a law, a seat in the-House-will. be a prize for a rogue but not for an honest man, as honest men would have to have a lawyer with them all the time to keep them out of jail. The bill fur ther gives the executive untold pow ers. Powers to grant immunity are now his, but this measure gives him power to prosecute. Loaded With Dynamite. Crumpacker declared that the bill "has dynamite in it." He urged that it be put to sleep with proper legislative methods.; He stated his opposition to the Govern ment's gathering of statistics, which, he said, were mainly for the benefit ' of "stock gamblers. . He referred to Burle son, author of the measure, as being put out of the business of cotton-buying by the bill. Catching up McCall's reference to muckrakers," Burleson said that he had no more respect for the muckrakers when the handle was held at the other end of the avenue and attacks through a message to Congress were made on the judiciary than he had for the yellow journalist who . pours out his filth on honest men. Gardner Open to Prosecution.. Gardner of Massachusetts interrupted to say that during the recent confllctv be tween the oyster fishermen and 'the Cana dian government he received information from the Secretary o" War which he gave out and which had a bearing on 'the market price of herring. "Could I have been arrested for that?" he queried. "Certainly," replied McCall. "both you '. and the Secretary would have been lia ble to the penitentiary if this were a law." . A motion to table the bill to appropriate $10,000 to the heirs of Samuel Lee was rejected. . VSS "to 59. 3'his is the bill to prevent, the passage of which the Demo crats tllibustered yesterday.. TW O HOUSES WILL SOOX AGREE Amended Rate BUI Satisfactory to All, Including President. WASHINGTON. May." 19. (Special.) There will not be a prolonged contest be tween the House and Senate over the rail road rate bill. Indications are that it will be accepted by the House within a short time, substantially in the shape in which -it was adopted by the Senate. That was developed today at a conference be tween President Roosevelt, Speaker Can non, Senator Spooner. Representative Hepburn, author of the bill . and chairman of the commerce committee, and Repre sentative Mann, also of the committee. Mr. Roosevelt declared the bill to be sat isfactory to him. It also meets the views of Mr. Cannon. Mr. Hepburn said it was changed in so many respects by the Sen ate, that he did not recognize it, but that the amendments are satisfactory to him and he believed that the House would ac cept the bill substantially as It passed the Senate. - The bill will not reach the House until Wednesday. Mr. Hepburn will ask that it remain on the Speaker's table- for a few da--s in order that members may have an informal conference: He does not believe there will be any difficulty in reaching an agreement on the Allison amendment and the striking out of the words "in its judg ment," but he believes the other. .amend ments should be most closely, scrutinized: SHOULD CONTINUE FILIBUSTER Democrats Vrge Williams to Prose cute Statehood Fight. WASHINGTON. May 19. Democratic members of the House of Representa tives today were signing an indorse ment of an action of Williams, '- the minority leader, in filibustering in the House for the purpose of hurrying ac tion. on .the statehood bill.. The In dorsement was drawn by Henry, of Texas, and was circulated by Beall.'of that state. It asks Williams to .con tinue to demand roll calls on every motion which can be made in the pas sage of bills or the adoption of reso lutions, and to make the point of no quorum whenever possible. The dilatory tactics practiced .this week have delayed business to a con siderable extent, and with the request to increase the vigilance that advan tage may be taken of every oppor tunity for delay, still further delay will result. - DO CLERKS VOTE FOR MEMBERS Williams Says They Do, Cannon Does Xot Believe It. WASHINGTON. May 19. Speaker Can non instanced his confidence in the read ing clerks of the House yesterday. . Wil liams (Mississippi), during the filibuster against the bill to pay Samuel Lee $10,000 tor expenses incurred during his contest for a seat in the Forty-seventh Congress, stated that he had heard the name of a member called and that the clerk had recorded him as voting when as a matter of fact the member was not in the city. He said that he thouaht on several occa sions he had heard clerks respond for the names of members, but that he could not be certain of this because his own hearing was not good. On this occasion, however, he had distinctly heard the clerk vote the member and he thought there ought to be a more careful calling of the roll. Speaker Cannon replied that the effi ciency and Integrity of the clerks at the Speaker's desk had never been questioned. In fact, their worth and honesty were known to every member. He said that in this great hall and with the great mem bership In the House, it was almost im possible at times to hear members re spond, and he thought that in a moment of thoughtlessness the clerk may have 'recorded a response without consideration. He believed that the taking of votes in the House was on a high plane of integ rity. Williams replied by saying that he did not desire to impugn the motives Of the clerks; he only asked for a proper record.

DELAY Purpose of Sea-Level Party on Panama Enterprise. CORPORATE POWER UNITED Lobbyists Supposed to Fight Rate Bill Are Really Massing Forces to Hinder Canal by Adopt ing Sea-Level Type. CHICAGO.- May 19. (Special.) Ex pressing the sentiments of Senators and Congressmen on the recent action of the Senate committee in voting for a sea level canal. Edward G.-Clark. correspond ent at Washington for the Chicago Eve ning Post, says: "Suspicion that a systematic effort is being made in the Senate to delay in definitely the digging of the Panama Canal has become a conviction. There is anger among the friends of rapid work on the, isthmus and a well-defined and freely expressed belief that interests are at work to jeopardize the whole project. It is declared freely in Washington that, while it was supposed that the hosts of representatives of certain corporate in terests who had been at the capital dur ing the last few months were here for the purpose of watching railroad rate legis lation. In reality most of them were here witht the intention of using what influ ence was at their command to defeat the attempt to obtain a favorable report for a lock canal. "Senator Piatt, of New York, voted for a sea-level canal. It is stated thtat Mr. Piatt did not attend one committee meet ing at which the matter was discussed. Everybody knows why John T. Morgan, of Alabama, voted in favor of a sea level plan. He is bluntly honest. He does not want a canal, and he has the grace to say so. "The movement that began In the Sen ate committee to get a sea-level canal has behind it, however, a tremendous force and it is the intention of power ful Senators to endeavor not only to get the sanction of the Senate itself, but to bring every possible pressure to bear on the House to induce it to recede from the position it took in favor of a lock type. If the powerful ones succeed, the day of canal digging is far in the distance. J'ne people may be obliged to speak on this matter- in no uncertain way. FELT HIS DEATH COMING HOMESTEADER SENDS LETTER TO COUNTY CLERK. Ladder Breaks In Well He Is Digging, and He Is Blown Ip by Blasts. COULEE CITY, Wash.. May 19.

On the 11th inst. he addressed a letter to the County Clerk of Doug las County, stating that he? feared his end would come before- he was through with a well he was digging. The note left directions for the disposition or his effects, and was left in his cabin. Tuesday the violent death that Smith foresaw overtook him.. Two heavy blasts were heard from the well he was sinking, and as .the settler was not about the place for several days. the neighbors investigated the matter. The well was partly full and on being pumped out, Smith's dismembered re mains were found at the bottom. Both legs and an arm were torn off by the explosion. A broken ladder gave the clew to tne man's death. It was evident that after lighting the fuses, he started for the surface, only to be precipitated to the bottom of the shaft by the collapse of the ladder. HAND OF GRAND JURY (Continued From Page 1.) inspired them to go on the land. For this purpose men were obtained wherever pos sible and sent to Curry County. It is said that the Pacific Furniture & Lumber Com pany, which was the active agency of the land sharks, procured entrymen from Ne braska, Kansas and California, as well as the various cities in Oregon. The com pany operated sawmills at Humboldt, Port Orford. Frankfort and Eureka. These mills, it is said, were used as a blind in bringing entrymen to Oregon. They . were induced to come West on the understand ing that they were to have jobs in the mills. , When they arrived, however. they were informed that there was no work for them. Then, when they were penniless and far from home, it was found to be a propitious time to approach them with suggestions that they could make A Doctor s Medicine Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is not a simple cough syrup.

The Broadway Bank &. Trust Company, which Is one of the most important finan cial institutions of Los Angeles, Is accused of being directly connected with the plot and to have advanced money to finance the fraudulent proceedings. Huntley, who occupied the office of United States Commissioner from 1901 to 1904, was brought Into the conspiracy by allowing himself to be induced to receive the fraudulent entries, which. It is averred, he knew at the time were illegal. The part or Johnston, the Deputy Clerk of Curry County, was to certify the fraud ulent timber and stone applications. None of the minor offenders who filed upon the claims is Included in the indictment, the policy of the Federal authorities evidently being to strike at the men who were the principals in the nefarious plot to rob the Government.

Throughout the time that the matter was before the grand jury the greatest interest was shown by those of the In dicted men who suspected that their names were before that body. It is known that several of them were in Portland at that time and it is also said that they had private detectives keeping watch about the Federal building. In ad dition to this it Is rumored 'that some attempt was made to tamper with the witnesses who were called in the case and that only thte closest watch on the part of the Government officials kept them from causing serious results to the policy of the Government. Hadderly, who Is regarded as one of the most prominent men included in the indictment, came to Portland In his private car during the time the case was before the grand Jury.

GULLIBILITY ' OF WOMEN Ask Mrs. Chadwick What She Thinks About Their Suscepti bility to the Wiles of Sharpers. Women naturally are rather sensitive about eing officially or otherwise classed with idiots and criminals. Equally nat urally they resent the Implication that they are particularly gullible and hence easily susceptible to sharpers who would play upon their highly organized nervous temperaments. In a recent attack upon the patent medicine business, it was im plied that women are the victims of pat ent medicine advertisers because thev are so much more gullible 'than men. Well, perhaps they are more, easily fooled, but we doubt if Mrs. Chadwick. If she were asked her opinion, would say so. As a matter of fact, women with their won derful Intuitions, are apt to be prettv good Judges of what is so and what is not so. For this reason, women are not likely to be long Imposed upon by misrepresenta tions concerning patent medicines or any thing else, and when a patent medicine business has steadily grown for thirty eight years It necessarily means that it has won the confidence of the women as well as the men who have been and are its grateful patronp. Such a business as that described here Is conducted by Dr. Ray V. Pierce of Buffalo, whose name is a synonym for honesty and honor in the business and professional world. Dr. Pierce has a great establishment In Buf falo, which is one of the chief points of Interest to visitors in that city. It con sists of a large laboratory for the manu facture of the medicines which bear his name and a hospital in connection there with for the treatment of various ail ments. This hospital is taxed to Its full capacity at all times by patients who come from all parts of the country for treatment by the large staff of graduated specialists. In the laboratory the famous Dr. Pierce remedies are compounded from pure roots, herbs and barks of known properties and for special purposes. The charge was recently made that alcohol was the principal Ingredient of these medicines. The journal which made that baseless charge was promptly sued for 1200.000 damages. An immediate retrac tion was the result. Dr. Pierce is not only one ofthe prin cipal manufacturers of patent medicines In the world, but he Is also one of the largest advertisers. He know that the essence of dealing with the public is to let the public know that you hive some thing which it wants, which It needs. But Dr. Pierce also knows thai truth and honor must be the basis of all business, and he permits no misrepresentations in any department of his business, not even in the advertising. Thousands of men and women have found the truth of this statement In their dealings with Dr. Pierce, a large part of whose business is conducted by correspondence. The charge has been made that this feature of the patent medicine business is a fake, as well as other features, that letters from patients do not receive attention from physicians, that they are made the subject of flippant comment by clerks who read them and prescribe remedies. This charge Is absolutely untrue so far as Dr. Pierce's business is concerned. He employs a large number of highly trained physicians and surgeons for this work, and they give quite as careful attention to all cases coming to thorn as does the prl vate practitioner. Ail letters are treated with the utmost confidence and are not subject to miscellaneous inspection. The proprietary remedies are not prescribed for all patients, but prescriptions are given Just as any doctor would give them. And the names and addresses of patients are not sold to others for sending out circulars. In short. Dr. Pierce's business is what it is because Dr. Pierce has always done just' what he advertises to do, and be cause his medicines are just, what they are advertised to be.
