THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN", PORTJjAND, JUNE 17, 1906. Mi PROD STEEL TRUST Patterson and La Follette Make Knox Squirm. STOCK HEAVILY WATERED J,nkc trie ship Canal Kill Forms Test for Oi'Htioris on Ovcr-Capi-' tali ah t ion Time for It Js I'nst, Says Wlsuonsan. WASHINGTON'. June Hi. The Senate spent the entire day debutiiiK the bill to incorporate a ship canal connecting 1-ake Krie with the Ohio River, and uftain ad journed without action on it. The bill was savagely attacked by Patterson as in the interest of speculation, and whs as warmly defended by Knox and Nelson. I.aFollette offered a number of amend ments, which were laid on the table. During a lull in he proceeding's I he president pro torn announced Ids signa ture to the statehood bill. The Senate adjourned at 4:30 P. M. for want of a quorum. Water in Stuck as Well as Canal. Patterson found in the I.ake Krie ship canal hill an encouragement to the advo cates of Government ownership of public utilities. He quoted from a pamphlet by the company, giving in explanation of the renuest for a Congressional charter the fact that the Government might ulti- niatcly become the owner of the proposed canal. He expressed confidence that the bill would become a law. and said that such a step would be a declaration that 1 the Government might at no distant day own and operate the canal for the benefit of the country, and he declared that it i was not a great stride from the owner ship of a canal to the ownership of a railroad. i But Patterson claimed there was a ;i" financial reason for the move. They were ii"' prcar!ng to go "wild catting in the jungle,'' and the Senator predicted that, in view of the transaction in the United , . States Steel Corporation, tho Pittsburg ' men said to be behind the company would not enter it with a prospect of securing less than 4 to 1. Slcel Trust 75 Per Cent Water. Tlds statement moused Senator Knox, who said that the Pittsburg people had , . not been responsible for the steel com pany's sale. "I understand that the Idea was con ceived by eminent financiers of New York," he said, "and the people of Pttts " burg were not foolish enough to take' less tliHit they could gel." Patterson contended, however, tjiat Mho millionaires of Pittsburg had been participes criminis with those of , New York in the organization of the I'nited Slates Steel Company conspiracy." Ha added that they had succeeded in sell ing for a billion dollars property not worth more than $::50,00d,000. The re ' mainlng $750,000,000 represented wind, and nothing more. He expressed the opinion tiiat the steel companies were behind the canal enterprise; that their object was to secure iron ore cheaper than half, and by means ot the tariff keep prices up and maintain their mo nopoly. Knox on WildcattliiK. Patterson advocated an amendment to the bill that would forbid the sale of (lie canal slock for less than par, ' and Knox said in reply that, while he had a great deal to do with corpora tions, he had never known any "ex cept wildcat Colorado mining schemes" vv hose stock was sold for less than par. Patterson admitted that there were some wildcat mining schemes, and that this was a wildcat canal far leiis excusable, because its profits would be extorted from the pockets of tho peoplo at large. "The idea that a Notional charter is sought because the Government may own the canal 50 or 100 years hence is too absurd to credit, " said Patterson. Jie gave it as his opinion that the" step was taken to secure an advantage in the disposal of stocks and bonds. Nelson defended the hill against the charge that, it was a mere stock-jobbing scheme. He said such a canal would re duce transjortation charges to the great - ' Northwest., No Time for Over-Capitaliziii;. m Follette. speaking of the provision of the bill which seemed to place no limi tation upon the capitalization of the com pany, asked Senators with a sweep of his hand that took in the entire ehanilier: "Do ymi believe transportation compa nies should be permitted to be overcapi talized?" Not waiting for an answer, he said dramatically: "If my colleagues on the Republican - side of ibis chamber cannot be made to 1 " answer that question, it will be answered k. by the American people, and the answer v will he based on sound economic princi ples. . The time has gone hy when the transportation companies can overcapital .. ize with Impunity.' ' An amendment by Senator Culberson that all sUick and bonds issued by the company in excess of those allowed by the bill shall be null and void was ac . i . copied. Then the quorum vanished, and ; , , the Senate adjourned. CANNOT AGKKK OX PIPK USES j Hate Hill Conferees Tin-ash Over Old Straw Without KcmiH. WASHINGTON, June 16. hi the absence' of Representative Sherman, of New York, who was out of the city, the conferees on the railroad rate bill were in session less than an hour today, and reached no con clusion on any subject. The pipe-line amendment was discussed. Senators Kl kins and Tillman opposing any change in the provision making them .common car riers and contending that most of the com panies that have protested the amend ment are subordinate companies of tho Standard Oil Company. Opponents of the amendment proposed that the amendment which prohibits a common carrier from carrying commodi ties it produces be changed to read: "rail road carrying commodities it produces." in order that this amendment shall not conflict with pipe lines, which are con structed for the sole purpose of carrying' their productions. If this were done, they agreed to supivort the pipe-line amend ment. Tho same lines were drawn concerning the Pullman car amendment. The House conferees raised objections to all of the amendments which relate to the issuance of injunctions, setting'aside orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and contended that there should be no inter ference with the courts. The conference was adjourned until .Monday. SENATE LIKELY TO BACK DOWN Leave Type of Canal for President to Decide. WASHINGTON. June 16. The contro versy that has arisen between the Presi dent and the House concerning meat in spection and the differences- likely to arise between the Senate and the House relative to the type of the canal to ba built across the Isthmus of Panama were discussed today by Senate leaders to de termine what effect they would have upon adjournment. The indications are said to be that the Senate could decide relative to meat in spection upon a good and effective meas ure. In regard to the canal legislation, the prevailing opinion is that the out come. In the event that the Senate passes a sea-levei bill, is that all matter relative to the type would be eliminated in con ference from the sundry civil appropria tion bill. If this should be done, it would leave the President free to carry out his expressed determination to proceed with the construction of a lock canal. International Crop Estimates. WASHINGTON. June 16. Senators Per kins and Flint and David S. Lubin, of California, called on the President today to -urge him -to transmit to the United States Senate for ratification a treaty providing for the participation of the United States Government in an inter national ' arrangement for the estimation of the world's crop of grain each year, as recommended by the international agricultural conference at Rome. A pro tocol has been drafted carrying the idea into effect, but the approval of the Sena'te is necessary to make effective this coun try's participation in the work. The President promised to take the mat ter up with Secretary Root and reach a delerminatiopn of it as soon as pos sible. Will Watch German Maneuvers. WASHINGTON. June 16.

SAYS MUCH FOR US PORTLAND AND VICINITY BUY UP NEARLY $140,000 WORTH Or PIANOS IN 30 DAYS. Great Closing Out Sale of Eilers Piano House Ended Last Night New Lease on Upstairs and Upper Portion of the Old Block Signed at Eleventh Hour, Meaning a Sav ing in Rent of Over $39,000 for the Five Years' Term. The tremendous wealth and purchasing power of the populace of the Pacific Northwest was forcefully exemplified in the closing-out sale of the retail stock of Eilers Piano House, which sale ended last night. Over six hundred of the very fitt est and most costly musical instruments, such as pianolas, pianola pianos, orches trelies, baby grand and parlor grand pianos, regular pianos, and organs were snapped up in about thirty days' time. It Is very doubtful whether any city boasting twice, yes, even four times the population of ours can truthfully claim credit for such a great record. It demon strates the great prosperity of this great Western community, and also the great interest manifested in music everywhere. The sales each dav were limited only by the-ability of the "selling force to wait upon customers, and mattv days, there were 25, yes. even :U, instruments found buyers. ' Last Friday was banner day exactly 47 instruments having found buy ers from morning until 10 P. M. Even yesterday the store was crowded, and to morrow morning the sale of the remain ing few instruments will be continued in the lower or downstairs warerooms. Hy Monday night all will no doubt have been sold. Meanwhile, plans will be completed in a few days for a complete remodeling of the premises, on the upper floor of which, and in the corner of the. Park and Washington street side, we were fortunate at the eleventh hour to secure a new five years' lease, commencing some time in October. The new arrangement does not cover the old retail warerooms. but instead of this the entire second floor of the block will be occupied, together with the upper or western corner of the building, where formerly Aeolian' Recital Hall afid the general offices of the concern were lo cated. This, while securing to the firm a saving in rent amounting to exactly $31).ojio for the fire years' term of the new lease, will eventually give Eilers Piano House a larger display space than ever before. The second floor of the building is now occupied by the Portland Business Col lege, which popular institution has made arrangements for fine quarters in t lie new building to be erected at the corner or Tenth and Morrison streets. It is figured that this building will be finished by Octo ber 1, at which time possession can be given to Kilers PialX House. Many changes decidedly for the tetter will then be made in the building. Many alterations are contemplated, and the firm will spare no expense to make this building the finest and most conven ient musical instrument house in the United States. Meanwhile, of course, and until these changes are completed. Kilers Piano House retires from the retail field. Many Alterations. It is planned entirely to remodel the lower floor, putting in a solid plate-glass front in the south and western portion of the building. Famous little Aeolian Hail will be revived in the extreme eastern second-floor portion of the block, and will be made exactly twice the size of the for mer one. A considerable portion of the second floor will be arranged in a series of well-appointed music studies, hand somely and conveniently arranged and beautifully decorated. The general offices will be removed to a mezzanine floor that will be provided In the northwestern part of the building, affording an airy and well-lighted aeeounr ing department. On the second floor will be located the main salesrooms. In addi tion to converting a large portion upstairs for use as the recital hall, referred to above, there will be located also the Aeo lian Circulating Library and Parlors for Talking Machines and records, it is need less to say that every attention will be paid to the arrangement of the hall with regard to acoustics, ventilation, furnish ings, including a concert pipe organ and grand piano on the stage. Modern electric elevators, together with broad and convenient stairs, will be pro vided, as well a-s a fireproof vault Willi a special intetior, furnishings and equip ment. A Really New Eilers Piano House. Thus Portland will again hoast of a thoroughly appointed and strictly up-to-date musical establishment, not surpassed anywhere in the United States, and while the great amount of rebuilding and re modeiing will delay the oening of the new retail establishment until pretty well along towards the first of the year, the news that Kilers Piano House will retain practically its former location on upper Washington street, converting the block into a most modern piano emporium, win be received with a great deal of satisfac tion, not only by the coterie of local art ists and musicians and the music-loving public generally, but also by real estate men and Washington-street 'merchants, several of whom have brought much in fluence to bear in the endeavor to have Eilers Piano House remain In the old established location. Offices and Library Here. Temporarily. The Oregonian Premium Talking Machine Department, where the distribution of Victor and Columbia rec ords is being carried on, will be found in the upper corner of the old toilers Piano House, in the front part of the rormcr Recital Hall. In the rear portion of this Fame hall space will be provided for the Aeolian Circulating library, so that this service will be extended to Pianola owners unin terruptedly, same as before. Kvory one of the remaining fine pianos, several Pianola pianos one Baby Grand, numerous organs, several Pianolas and two Orchestrelles, will have been either sold or removed from the old premises bv this evening, and Eilers Piano House, In sofar as active retailing is concerned, will be a thing of the past, at lea-st until later in the year. Telephone number will remain as here tofore. Priv. Ex. 23. and the city offices will be found scattered throughout the corner, wherever work will be least inter fered with by contractors and builders. minutes; possible, 15 hours.
