DRY-FARM BILL

dun iu umuu
Reeders Sarcastic Speech Is
Taken by Mondell as a
Personal Slur.
NO COMFORT FROM CANNON
Xon-residence Provision Arouses
Opposition as Being in Interest
of Cattlemen ant House Re
jects Whole Measure.
WASHINGTON-. May A flutter of
excitement was created in the House to
day during the consideration of the con
ference report on the bill providing for
enlarged homesteads for dry farming.
Mondell of Wyoming and Hayes of Ten
nessee, who had siyned the report, urged
lis adoption.
Reeder of Kansas, however, bitterly
opposed the report and the bill, and in
the course of his remarks made the fol
lowing statement:
"People in the West seldom send men
here who don't vote for what they want,
and I presume men who advocate this
bill have hundreds of thousands of acres
of Western land and they have the
American disposition towards everything
that adjoins them."
Mondell's Dignity Hurt.
"Mondell interpreted this remark as a
retlection upon himself and called Reeder
to order. Speaker Cannon held that the,
words spoke for themselves and that they
Aid not constitute a reflection upon any
member.
Mondell accepted the ruling, but at the
came time declared that he thought he
heard other words not taken down.
The incident, which at first had an ugly
aspect, thereupon was closed.
Strong opposition developed to the re
port and it was defeated. 98 to 148. The
principal arguments advanced against
the measure were based on the supposi
tion that cattlemen of the West and not
legitimate homesteaders would benefit
by this provision, but this hypothesis was
Vigorously combated.
Killed by Smoofs Amendment.
Mondell. in charge of the. report, made
tin attempt to send the bill back to con
ference, but his effort was futile, the
report and bHl being finally defeated, 103
to m.
The principal objection to the bill was
the insertion of Senator Smoot's amend
ment allowing persons to purchase home
Hteads without residing on them. Smoot
insisted on this feature and the House
would not stand for it.
tRIKs BREACH OF PKIV1I.KGE
Teller Decries Roosevelt's Threat
ened Veto of Power Franchises.
WASHINGTON. May 2:i. When the
Senate .met today, there was a general
understanding that nothing would be
done to delay the final adjournment of
Congress and that no, legislation would
be enacted beyond completing consid
eration of the great supply bills.
Various Questions were discussed dur
ing the day. Teller reviewed the court
decisions on the limitations of Federal
power under the Constitution, and re
ferred to a report that the President
had stated in a letter that he would
veto certain legislation. If passed by Con
ijress. as an evidence of unwarranted en
croachment upon the powers of the Sen
ate. Teller was followed by Bacon, who de
clared that the President's statement in
his message of March 25 that he would
veto any bill not guaranteeing the right
of the Government to charge for power
on navigable streams in connection with
legislation respecting water-power privi
leges, was "a gross breach of the privi
lege of the Senate." He said he would
have introduced a resolution providing
that this matter bo considered by the
committee on privileges and elections,
but. being a member of the minority, h
feared his act would have been regarded
as partisan.
. Ineffectual efforts were made by
'tieveridge to pass the omnibus terri
tories bill and by Newlands to secure
consideration creating an Inland
Waterways Commission.
At 5:30 P. M.. just before the close
of the day's session, Hale announced
an agreement made in executive ses
sion to take a recess until S P. M.. with
the understanding that the night ses
sion would, be devoted exclusively to
considering conference reports and
such measures as could be taken up by
unanimous consent. Hale had previ
ously stated his belief that Congress
could adjourn by 2 o'clock Monday
afternoon. At 10 o'clock the Senate adjourned
until I o'clock Monday.
PACIFIC MAlIi IS PASSIVE
AVould Xot Be Benefited by Proposed
Subsidy Clause.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 23. The
progress of the postofflce appropria
tion bill, now in its last stages before
Congress, is being watched with much
Interest In thjs city, especially with
regard to the ocean- mall subsidy
amendment, agreed to by the conferees
but rejected by the House, which has
asked for another conference on the
measure. The proposed increased com
pensation to steamship lines directly
affects the companies running vessels
from this port to China, Japan, Aus
tralia and the Philippines.
When asked what would be the re
sult should the subsidy amendment be
retained In the bill. F. S. Samuels,
manager of the Oceanic Steamship
Company, said:
"Whether we will resume running
vessels to Australia and carry the
mails cannot be determined for a time.
Australia and New Zealand have made
other contracts for carrying the mails
since we discontinued, and we do not
know at present whether we could get
that business aeain."
Adolph J. Krey, assistant to the
vice-president and general manager of
the Pacific Mail Company, the Japa
nese and China line, said there was lit
tle prospect of the Pacific Mail avail
ing itself of any increased allowance,
chiefly because of the difficulty of se
curing crews composed largely of
Americans, as the law would require,
at a rate of wages permitting of any
profit.
IUHNK KILLS PHY FARM BILL
Regard Smoot Amendment as a
Scheme Favoring Stockmen.
OREGON1AN NEWS Rl'REAl', Wash
ington. May 23. The dry-farm home-fcti-ad
bill is dead for this session, and
responsibility for its defeat rests on
the shoulders of Senator Smoot, of
1'tah. Smoot tacked onto the bill an
amendment waiving the requirement
of residence under certain circum
stances, and threatened to beat the
bill if this amendment was taken off.
The House today could not swallow
the idea of non-resident homestead
in fact the bil. was freely character
ized as a scheme hatched up to permit
stockmen to acquire large areas of
public domain for range purposes. The
idea spread like wildfire, and when
the House became imbued with the
idea that this bill was not what it
purported to be, but was In reality a
land steal, cleverly framed up by
stockmen. It not only voted down the
Smoot amendment, but refused to send
the bill back to conference. This
makes further action impossible this
session. If the bill comes up next
Winter it will have to be more careful
ly safeguarded.
RQDTGHOSEN FDR
CHIEF JUSTICE
ACT OF GENEROSITY TO CHIXA
House Votes to Remit Balance of
Boxer Indemnity.
WASHINGTON. May 23. The joint res
olution providing for the remission of a
portion of the Chinese indemnity arising
out of the Boxer troubles in 1900 came
up in the House today under suspension
of the rules. Denby, of Michigan, briefly
rehearsed the incidents in connection
with the outbreak, and said the proposed
remission would be an act of supreme
justice and generosity. China, he said,
already had paid on account of the in
demnity $24,400,000. Mr.. Denby assured
the House that even with the remission
of the JIO.800,000 there would still remain
ample funds with which to pay all
claimants.
The action of the committee on foreign
affairs in amending the resolution so as
to increase by t2.000.OCO the amount of
the indemnity to be paid as well as pro
viding for the review by the courts of
claims disallowed in whole or in part
was severely condemned by Stafford, of
Wisconsin.
"The question is." said he, "whether
Secretary Root shall be upheld or whether
some claimant shall have the opportunity
of looting the treasury."
INSISTS OX SVBS1DY CLAUSE
Senate Continues Conferees on Post
office Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON. May 23. A partial
agreement of the conferees on the
postofflce appropriation bill was laid
before the Senate by Mr. Penrose at 3
o'clock today and was agreed to. The
sections applying to ocean mall sub
sidy and the weighing of the malls

The Senate ordered that this amend
ment be insisted upon and continued
Senator Penrose, Senator Burrows and
Senator Clay aa conferees.
Bills Signed by President.
WASHINGTON, May 23. President
Roosevelt today signed the bills pro
viding for the participation of this
country in the exposition to be held in
Tokio in 1912: the legislative, execu
tive and Judicial appropriation bill; a

House yesterday, was laid before the

If Taft Wins and Fuller -Retires,
He Will Go on Supreme
Bench.
FULLER SOON TO RETIRE
'Visit Military Reservations.
WASHINGTON. May 23. A resolu
tion was adopted by the Senate today
authorizing the committee on military
affairs to visit, during the coming re
cess of Congress, military reservations
concerning which It may be considered
desirable to obtain Information.

Has Held On in Hope of Being Suc-
ceeded" by Democrat, but Would
Resign If Hopes of De
mocracy Failed. ;
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 23. It is commonly re
ported that, if Secretary Taft is nom
inated and elected President, Elihu
Root, now Secretary of State, will be
appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court during the next administration,
assuming, of course, that Chief Justice
Fuller shall retire. Had Justice Fuller
retired during the past six years, he
would have been succeeded by William
H. Taft, for it was the height of Mr.
Taft's ambition to become Chief Jus
tice. But when the possibility of suc
ceeding Roosevelt had developed. Mr.
Taft went into the campaign with his
whole heart and soul, putting aside his
previous ambition.
Root Would Like the Job.
Now that Mr. Taft himself is likely
to have the privilege of filling the po
sition he so long sought, it is natural
that he should look favorably upon Mr.
Root. Mr. Taft has not said he would
appoint Mr. Root, and Mr. Root has
never announced his candidacy for the
place, but Mr. Root is very fond of
Washington, so much so that his wife
has said he would be willing to live
here aa a policeman if he could not
hold a higher office. The ofTice of Chief
Justice would permit him to remain
here Indefinitely, for it Is a life ap
pointment. Mr. Root stands at the very head of
the legal profession, so there is no
question as to his eligibility; he Is a
greater lawyer than most men who
go on the Supreme Bench. As Chief
Justice, he would add weight to the
bench, and from the Nation's view
point 'his appointment would be excel
lent. Why Fuller Holds On.
Of course, everything depends upon
Chief Justice B'uller, for although he
is several years past the retiring age,
he has shown no signs of retiring, and
he enjoys remarkable health for an
elderly man. He has been holding on,
it is understood, in the hope that a
Democratic administration might be
elected, in which event he would gladly
retire to make way for a Democratic
Chief Justice. If. however, the Re
publicans are again victorious, Judgo
Fuller may conclude that it will be
useless to hold on and may, early in
the administration, relinquish his of
fice to some man of Republican faith.
While politics is supposed to cut no
figure on the Supreme Bench, there
are great cases in which politics has
played a part in the past, and In which
politics will figure In the future. Nat
urally, Judge Fuller, being a Demo
crat, would like as many Democrats as
possible on the bench.
BACK FROM CURRY WILDS
There they followed mountain trails up
Kuchre Creek Into the interior. 'They J
pitched their camp on the headwaters j
of this stream and fished both it and
Lobster Creek. They report splendid,
catches of trout.
But what was most interesting to both
men were the indications" of rich placer
dieginKs they found there. They could
wash out colors anywhere near tfceir
camp and have samples of , coarse gold
which they brought back to show that
they are good prospectoi-s. It is the be
lief of Mr. Shorey that investment in gold
mining in the district he visited will be
well rewarded. It is possible that he may
go back there and engage in the develop
ment of its mineral resources.
Residents of that country have mined
the placer deposits there for years in a
primitive way. but Mr. Shorey believes
that with the application of modern
methods the gravel can be worked at a
good profit. The two left Portland April
5 and have just returned to town. They
traveled about 300 miles on horseback.
DECREASE CASH RESERVE
Bnt New York Banks Have Largest
Deposits Ever Known.
NEW YORK. May 23. The Financier
will say:
The statement of the Associated Banks
of New York City for the week end
ing May 23 showed a decrease, taking the
report of actual conditions as a basis
of comparison, of $8,720,000 in cash re
serve. This was not surprising in view
of the fact that the banks during the
week lost J3.000.000 to the Treasury on ac
count of repayment of public deposits,
and something like 113.500.000 owing to
the continued exports of gold. The actual
reduction in casn reporiea oy ine oanKs
for the week was t4.8O6.2O0. which goes
to show that the .other losses already
mentioned were made up largely through
excess of receipts from the interior and
from other sources.
The loans of the banks for the week
Increased Jll.209.500. due largely to the
continued revival of speculative activity
on the Stock Exchange and the com
mitments in commercial lines. Deposits
rose $15,657,600, which increase did not
coincide with the other changes noted.
'A rather surprising, although not im
portant feature of the statement was the
increase of $185,000 in circulation. This
at a time wher banks apparently aro
making every effort to decrease the
amount of their circulating notes outstand
ing. The total deposits of the clearing
house banks now amount to $l,:02.O0C.00O.
which is by far the largest figure ever
reported.

John F. Shorey and W. C. MorrU Ile
tu r n From 3 0 0 -Mile Tr i p.
Down into the wilds of Curry County
for six weeks on horseback, camping
wherever night overtook them, was the
experience of John F. Shorey and W. C.
Morris, who have just returned. They
went for their health and are both much
improved. They prospected for gold and
die! some hunting and fishing.
When Mr. Shorey left the city, a short
walk up Washington fatigued him.
After he had been out in the mountains
; of the Coast country for a few days he
could make long trips over mountain
trails without any discomfort whatever.
He says the trip did him a world of
good.
The two went by special conveyance
from Roseburg to Marshfield, where they
engaged saddle horses and went down
the Coast as far as Corbin, Curry County.

LAPORTE. Ind.. May 23. Active
preparations for the trial of Ray Lam
phere, under indictment for the mur
der of five persons, were commenced
today by both the state and the de
fense. Surprise was occasioned by the
announcement from the Prosecutor's
office that in all likelihood Lamphere
would be tried first for the murder of
Andrew Helgclein. The state says that
itsevidence in this case is exception
ally strong. Mr. Worden, for. the de

would not rely entirely upon an alibi
to clear IvRmphere.
Friends of Olaf Jensen, of Capron.

he left there two years ago with $1000
to marry a wealthy widow in Indiana
near Chicago. He has not been heard
from since. The friends are confident
