companion, he was accosted by McCar
thy and another officer in the Potrero
district and told to move on. In the
altercation that ensued McCarthy was

MULLER OUTLINES POLICY
ASKS CO-OPERATION FOR THE
BOARD OF TRADE.
Secretary '"Would Conduct Market
Exchange and Promote Arbitra
tion of Members Disputes.
Fred iluller, secretary --elect of the Board
of Trade, in discussing some of his plans
In connection with his new office, had the
following to say:
"First of all. In order to be able to do ef
fective work. It will be necessary that each
and every member of the organisation assist
the aecretary in his efforts by loyal co-operation
and a determination that all will pull
together. It is true that different business
interests view aubjects coming up for discus
sion from various points, yet there is. always
a possibility to harmonize matters, when
everyone feels that the oard of .Trade's ef
forts are entirely unselfish .and simply with
an eye upon the expansion 'and upbuilding of
the great City of Portlands and the economical
handling of its steadily increasing .business.
A. Board- of Trade Is a trade center, an
emporium for the crystallization and assim
ilation of commercial information. All mat
ters concerning the interior trade relations,
the local business, the export, import and
shipping business, the formation work along
intelligent lines and the proper adjustment
of existing evla and -incumbrances In our-relations
with the producer, manufacturer or
railroads should at their proper time receive
the attention of the Board. The Board of
Trade should act as the clearing-house of
all commercial matters; they should be ad
Justed along strlot business lines and not
simply passed upon through, many times,
meaningless resolutions. .
With all due appreciation of the necessity
for some "out of state" advertising of our
resources, I believe publicity, whfi-h will ac
quaint the members and -others with, the pre
vailing market conditions, the movement of
wmmI . akiaoMiBtf Ut sul . fro. should be
enlarged upon as much as possible. Fixed
dally price quotations of the various commodi
ties should, be posted by the Board and be
come "officiaT in the settlement of all dis
putes arising among members. In this way
the usefulness of the Exchange will be grad
ually stimulated.
Difficulties among members .should be set
tled through arbitration before a proper com-

Frank V". Uealy Is Married.
A telegram to The Oregonian a
from Frank W. Healy, the popu- . I
lar manager of the San Fran- f
cisco Opera Company, is as fol- T
lows: "Married Tuesday. Bride I
is daughter of Judge Isaacs, of .
Redding, Cal." Mr. Healy hag
many friends in Portland who t
will send him congratulations f
on his, marriage. I
mittee of the osganization. Nothing Is more
conducive of ' a better understanding among
business men than a settlement of many times
Insignificant grievances in this way. In fact
a compulsory rule to- arbitrate will often pre
vent 'a misunderstanding from., becoming ag
gravated. .
.. In the various branches of business many
matters require adjustment which the indi
vidual in . the particular line may not be will
lng .to take up, a concerted effort, on the part
of the proper committee along carefully
drawn up lines and a full and concise knowl
edge of all the facts In each -case, . will
wield an irresistible power and I know from
past experience where, for Instance, the whole
sale grocers have succeeded In getting conces
sions from manufacturers, packinghouses,
railroads, etc., which the Individual merchant
never would have been, able to secure.
All matters of National import as tar as
they reflect the general prosperity and de
velopment of our country should receive the
attention .of -the Board, but here again care
should be taken not to indprse any proposi
tion until it's merits have been fully estab
lished. The promiscuous indorsement of reso
lutions or pet schemes will minimize the
Board's usefulness.
The best of feeling should be maintained
with sister organizations and while friendly
rivalry stimulates each body to renewed, ef
forts, only the best of understanding can ac
complleh the most good for the largest num
ber. Portland has roost exceptional possi
bilities, yet It Is in need of many commer
cial and Industrial additions, to make it the
most substantial and in fact the leader - of
the great ports of the West. While I dislike
to speak about myself, believing that the best
recommendation for a man is to have his
efforts "tell the tale," 1 like to Instance ju&t
a few facts.
During 14 years of activity In New Orleans
I have not only handled the Board of Trade
work along lines of promotion, but a lung
strict business lines, requiring close study and
familiarity with commercial conditions. The
New Orleans Board of Trade maintained a
.grain inspection as well as a cotton and eo(r
ton inspection department, looked after v"A
maritime and exports affairs, made the ra.
justment of freight discrimination a upc'cA
feature, received dally continuous Chicr-.-5, SU
Louis, New York and European mah:t quo
tatiori. 'traded in rice and 'had a coffee fu
tures department, and, in fact, incorporates
all tha -functions of an influential and e (fes
tive organisation. My duties have taken me
to every leading trade center of our great
country and with the assistance of a loyal
membership and the addition" of new mem
bers, I will do my very best to be of service
to tha organization and a useful citizen of
this great city, which I hop to mitm my
permanent home.
HOLD UP PHILIPPINE LAW
WESTERN SENATORS OBJECT TO
- REDUCED TARIFF.
Secretary Taft Anxious for Free
Sugar, .Rice and Tobacco, but
Beet-Sugar Senators Opposed.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 11. It begins to look as
though the beet-sugar men in the Sen
ate would again defeat the bill pro
posing a further reduction of duty on
Philippine products, particularly sugar
'and tobacco. At the last Congress a
Philippine tariff bill was passed by
the House along lines quite satisfac
tory to Secretary Taft; . it was pit
through under whip and spur, and the
insurgents were routed by the Speak
er. That bill was killed in the Sen
ate committee on Philippines, largely"
through the efforts of Senator Dubois,
of Idaho. When Mr. Dubois retired,
his place on the committee was filled
by Senator Teller, of Colorado, who- is
even a more, rabid opponent of a re
duction of Philippine 'duties, and if
Dubois could defeat the bill last ses
sion, certainly Teller can accomplish
a.8 much this' Winter.' especially as
Teller wilt have the assistance of Sen
ator Newlands, of Nevada, who is
equally opposed to reducing the duty
on Philippine sugar.
Secretary Taft is very anxious to
have the duly on Philippine sugar,
tobacco and rice reduced. If he could
have bis way he would give these com
modities free -access to Amerlc'an
markets, but he realizes that this is
out of the question, and for the time"
being he Is trying to secure a reduc
tion of 50 per cent of the Dingley rates
on foreign goods of the same char
acter. That is the reduction provided
for In the bill which .oassed the House
last, session. The opponents of this
bill, who come almost entirely from
states which are large growers of
sugar beets, sugar cane, tobacco and
rice, argue that' Philippine sugar, to
bacco and rice, produced by cheap
coolie labor, would enter the American
market and force down the price of
American sugar, tobacco and rice. To
this argument Secretary Taft replies
that only a limited quantity of these
products would come into this country
from the Philippines, not enougli to
affect the market price. . Furthermore,
he argues,, that the cost' of transpor
tation across the Pacific would tend.
In a. large, measure, to offset the dif
ference in coat of production.
The Secretary's answer is not satis
factory to the. opponents of tlie Philip
pine tariff bill, who maintain that
once the dnty Is lowered, large quan
tftiea of sugar and tobacco would flow
into American markets and work dis
aster to American producers. To meet
this objection, In the hope of securing
some relief, there is now talk of a
compromise measure which the Secre-
good faith on his part. He -will agree
to a bill reducing the duty on these
commodities to 50 per cent of the
Dingley rates, and also restricting the
amount of each that can be imported
under this rate in any one year, pro
vided that amount is fixed at the fig
ure whifch he declares will seek the
American market. :
Such a restriction may overcome a
part of the opposition to the Philip
pine bill, -but it is hardly likely that it
will remove the opposition of such men
as Teller and Newlands. who are op
posed to all reductions. The chances
are that these two -Western Demo
crats can so align the committee on
Philippines as to make imposslblw the
reporting' of the tiirjff bill, and If this
can be accomplished, legislation will
be out of the question.
