SUICIDE PACUT SEA POVERTY LEADS WOMAN TO SHOOT IRIEXD AND SELF. Two Passengers on Lucania Have hut $3.25 Between Them, and Decide to End Troubles. NEW TORK. July 3. (Special.) That Margaret Clarke, supposed to have been from Brooklyn, and Helen Miller carried out a murder and suicide pact because of financial distress is the be lief of officers of the C'unard line steamship Lucanta, expressed today when the vessel arrived from Liver pool. "We sailed Wednesday," said an offi cer of the ship. -The second morning out the Clarke girl was found dead in her berth. She was shot through the head. Three days later the Miller wo- : man snot and killed herself. In the Clarke woman's effects were found I very few clothes and only $3. The Mil : ler woman had only 25 cents. Our con- elusion is that when the women un packed their few belongings and each saw that the other had a pistol they ex- t"cu,6 viumuences as to their mis eries and ill luck, and finally decided that the Miller woman should kill Miss Clarke and then kill herself." Both women were burled at sea. ARGUE ON THAW'S SANITY Hi3 Lawyers Ready to Prove It if Given Chance. NEW YORK. July 3. Counsel for Harry K.

Justice Gaynor reserved his decision until Monday. STRIKE AGAINST INDIANS No Music for Elks Grand Lodge 11 They Play. PHOENIX Ariz.. July 3.

RETALIATION PLAN QUICKLY PASSED Senate Votes to Strike Back at Countries Which Discriminate. VOTE ON INCOME TAX NEXT Tea and Corfee Duties Omitted From Maximum Tariff Provision Tar- lff Commission Not to Be Xonpartisan. WASHINGTON. July 3. The Senate today adopted the maximum and mini mum provisions of the tariff bill by a vote of 36 to 18. The measure is apt to go Into effect March 31. 1910. and WART1IOG CAPTURED BY ROOSEVELT IS AFRICA ARRIVES IX NEW YORK. NEW YORK, July 3. (Special.) The first "big game" which Theo dore Roosevelt was to send back from Africa arrived this week First came two tiny antelope. Then arrived on the steamship Pannonia yes terday a warthog. The warthog is not a very fierce-looking beast. It Is about the size of a small domestic hog and suggests the razor-back variety. There would hardly be any danger In catching a warthog alive with the bare hands, but from the nimbleness of the animal i ! around the deck of the Pannonia It must have been a rather difficult i feat for one of Bwana Tumbo's figure. t 90 days must elapse before the Presi dent's proclamation applying the maxi mum duty of 25 per cent ad valorem in addition to the regular tariff duties will be operative. The duty on tea and coffee provided for in the amendment originally reported by the finance com mittee was stricken out by the com mittee. The Senate also agreed to vote on the submission to the several states of an income tax amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States. This vote will be taken Monday at 1 o'clock. Vote on Brown's Income Tax, Too. As soon as Aldrich called up the tariff bill. Brown pressed his Income tax pro vision. He asked that a vote be taken immediately, but encountered opposi tion from various quarters. McLaurln being especially antagonistic After much debate the Nebraska Senator agreed to postpone action and present ed the proposition for a vote on Mon day. There was no especial objection and the vote accordingly was ordered. Aldrich then presented his maximum and minimum rate amendment as a sub stitute for the original maximum and minimum provision of the bill as it passed tho House. He explained that the House provided for a specified in crease of the rates of duty on numer ous articles fixed by the bill in case of the failure of the country from which any given article should come to grant to the Importers of the United States the same terms given to importers from the most favored nations. Plan for Retaliation. The Senate committee on finance pre sents a complete substitute providing for an Increase of 25 per cent over the rates of the Payne-Aldrich bill against countries which by export bounty or otherwise discriminate against the United States. The amendment pro vided that the additional rate should go into effect immediately, unless the President should, after March 81, 1910, rssue a proclamation that no such dis crimination exists. The amendment also provided a duty of 6 cents a pound on coffee and 10 cents a pound on tea coming from the countries thus discriminating against the products of the United States. The measure as previously reported by the finance committee was further amended to except the Islands of Guam and Tu tuila. as well as the Philippines, from its operation. Stating that he regarded this pro vision as the most important part of the tariff bill, Aldrich read a state ment showing the maximum and mini mum laws of other countries. Since that statement was prepared, he said, France had adopted rates of tariff that varied on an average of 50 per cent. No Tea and Coffee Duty. On motion of Daniel, the Senate struck from the maximum and minimum rate amendment the provision for a duty of 5 cents a pound on cof fee and of 10 cents a pound on tea com ing from countries which discriminate against the products of the United States. Daniel criticized the proposed legis lation as authorizing the President to make treaties with foreign countries, without submitting them to the Senate. "When this amendment is agreed to," he said, "the Senate is eliminated as a treaty-making power, so far as these commercial matters are concerned. It is becoming more and more common to eliminate the Senate from the exercise of its powers." Nelson, Curtis and Root, speaking. In favor of the elimination of the duty on tea and coffe, Daniel's amendment to strike out that provision was ac cepted by Aldrich and agreed to. Aldrich agreed with Root that there was no necessity to hold a club over the countries that exported these articles to the United States. Heyburn offered and Aldrich accepted on behalf of the finance committee an amendment requiring flo days' notice for the application of the maximum rate after the minimum rate has been in force. In presenting the amendment Heyburn expressed apprehension that the provision would cause unrest. ffhis criticiara brought Aldrich. to bis THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 4, 1909. . feet with a recital of discriminations that have been practiced by foreign govern ments against ihe United States. France, he eald had put up her maximum tariff against the United States and against no one else. Germany had imposed various restrictions upon American products and about a dozen other nations had maxi mum and minimum laws. It was to pro tect the American producers of farm and other products that this provision had been framed. Bacon, approving the idea of a retalia tory provision, said he thought the method employed should be reversed. The duties should be fixed, he said, with power for the President to Increase a rate if this country is discriminated against. Cummins suggested a substitute provid ing a penalty of 25 per cent of the exist ing duty instead of 25 per cent ad valorem on countries discriminating against the United States, but it was voted down viva voce. The vote being taken on the maximum and minimum proposition, it was adopted, 36 to 18. Partisan. Tariff Commission. Culberson offered an amendment to make nonpartisan the appointment of the tariff commission and to pay the members salaries of t?500 annually. By a vote of 17 to 43 the amendment was rejected, LaFolIette being the only Re publican who voted with the Democrats. The amendment limited to fou the num ber of members of any one party who might be appointed as experts to advise the President in the matter of dis crimination by other countries. Ah amendment by Gore substituting the provision of the Dingley act authorizing the negotiation of reciprocity treaties for -I the maximum and minimum clause was defeated. 16 to 39. TO PLEASE TRAVELERS HARKIMASr TO KEEP POSTED OX PUBLIC'S DKSIRES. Harrlman Orders Railroad Men to Attend Commercial Men's Meet ing and Receive Tips. CHICAGO. July 3. (Special.) A new example illustrating the extent to which E. H; Harrlman intends to keep in touch with the opinions and desires of the traveling public has Just come to light through an informal order that the op erating and traffic officials of the Harrl man lines attend the meetings or travel ing salesmen in their territory as much as possible.

This suggestion was made to Mr. Har nman by A. Mathis, a New Orleans knight of the suitcase." Mr. Harrlman immediately sent a letter to Julius Krutt schnitt, director of maintenance and operation, with a recommendation that it be heeded. Copies of the communication from Mr. Mathis, together with Mr. Har riman's recommendations, are being sent to officials of the Harrlman railroads by Mr. Kruttschnitt.

The State Supreme Court today re versed Judge Black, of the Snohomish County Superior Court and ordered an injunction to issue to restrain Snohom ish County from collecting more than $40,608 tax for 1906 on the Great North ern tracks in that county.

PORTLAND IN STRONG LEAD Local Firm Sells, During Month of June, More Pianos Than All Competing Houses in Oregon and Idaho Combined. The most unfailing Indication of Portland's progressiveness and all around prosperity is the sale of pianos hereabouts. Portland's local concern, the Eilers Piano House, sells every year out of its Portland office a number of pianos which, if placed end to end. would extend over a distance of three miles. This does not include the sales made by the Eilers houses in the Cali fornia, the Seattle and in the Taeoma 'Jeld, and if these sales were included the line would be over seven miles long. Many instruments are sold in the cities to tne north each month and in Spokane, but Portland easily leads them all. In all musical affairs Portland is unquestionably foremost. Here are more than a score of musical instruct ors, instrumental and vocal, men and women, whose annual income is far greater than that of a United States Senator. PORTLAND LEADS. There is more' devotion to music In Portland, and it has been said that there are more students of music in Portland than in the cities of Seattle and San Francisco combined. It is also a significant fact that Eilers Piano House, although it handles the most costly and valuabla of all instru ments, such as Boston's time-honored Chickerlng, the now-famous Kimball of Chicago, and New York's art creation, the Weber and the Pianola piano, nevertheless secures an astonishingly large portion of the total trade. Iiuring the month of June Eilers Piano House sold 213 Instruments. No other concern in Seattle. Taeoma or Spokane, has sold one-fourth that many In the same length of time. All other dealers in Oregon and in Idaho com bined have not sold during June one half as many pianos as has Eilers Piano House during the same period. Eilers Piano House is in a position to secure this business because it is a home institution, does not have to pay tribute or intermediate profits to San Francisco or Eastern jobbing concerns or money-brokers, and because Eilers Piano House is equipped with every modern facility for the proper hand ling of large quantities of high-grade pianos upon the lowest possible margin of expense. PROOF- VN Ell SPITTED. No more definite and positive proof of Eilers Piano House's supremacy and the correctness of its claims than this can possibly he given. Its methods make it possible to furnish the most dependable instruments at lowest cost. Time and again it has been proven that instruments of similar grade and quality cost today at other houses from 20 per cent to 35 per cent more than they do at Eilers stores. In patronizing Eilers Piano House a buyer gets the highest-grade piano for the money that is usually paid for a much inferior instrument. It means to have the services of experts in making the selection. It means a binding guar antee that Insures against disappoint ment in any way. Here is the list of pianos for the month of June, from which, however, several names have been omitted by special request: Chickering baby grands and upright pianos were secured bv the following: Mr. K. H. IMxon, Mrs. H. H. Termenden, Mr. Miles Knapp, D. C. Rose brook., director Portland Symphony. Mrs. H. Warden secured a Weber as did also Mrs. Alice Hart.
