COMBINE EFFECTS RESULTS (Continued From First Par ient will veto any special or general :arlff bill that may be sent to him. they will be content to allow the Senate to ote down their tariff bills and adjourn. - They are not so desirous of making ipeeches as to be w illing to remain In -weltering Washington all the rest of he Summer and Fall, when they know n advance that nothing can be accom tltahed thereby. There la every reason to believe that :he President will veto any tariff bill, ther than Canadian reciprocity, that Congress may send to him this session. He certainly will not approve a wool olll. for he has taken the position that schedule K should remain undisturbed until the tariff board submits Its re port, which will be next December. Ana If he win not approve a wool bill, be will not approve a general revision bill which Includes a revision of the wool schedule. Congress, of course, would never think of passing a gen eral revision bill that overlooked this Important schedule. Je List Cannot W in. As for the free list bill, that also seems doomed to defeat. The Senate will not pass It In the form In which It came from the House; It would not pass that bill If It remained here until December. There Is a clear Republi can majority against that measure In Its present form. Just as there Is a clear Republican majority against the House wool bill In Its present form. The Pemocrats cannot muster enough Republican support to pass either of these measures as they passed the House. What would result should an attempt be made to whip those bills Into shape to meet the approval of the Insurgent Republicans Is a problem. There la serious doubt whether In the next Ave months either bill could be shaped up to command the backing of a majority of the Senate, any way you figure It. Nothing but an Insurgent filibuster seems to stand In the way of quick action on all tariff bills after the reci procity bill Is out of the way. and nothing hut an Insurgent filibuster will prevent adjournment soon after Cana dian reciprocity becomes an assured fact At this time some Insurgents are "strongly Inclined to filibuster, but they are growing disheartened because the Iemm-rats refuse to aid them, and are considerably Incensed because the Democrats, with few exceptions, have declined even to discuss reciprocity. The Democrata are not In favor of taring In Washington one minute . " .

Th. flnane committee asks favorable consideration of the voter, to the prop osition to issue $130,000, of bond, to refund the outstanding warrant, of the city. Refunding bond, to the amount of $100,000 were .old a little over a year ago and the warrant debt of that time wa reduced to a workable figure. However a previous administration drew on the general funds of the city to the amount of $75,000 to finish the power project, thus hr,n,n rant Indebtednes to a place where city warrant, .re discounted. Refunding of per cent w.rranta with S per cent bonds will effect a .ub.t.ntl.l saving to the city. BEND ROW TROUBLE CAUSE Member Board of Education Quit.; Prlmlpal's Salary Keaon. i BEND, or- July .

I think I am safe in saying that various women have contributed a total of $25,000 to the 'Absolute Life.' The names of most of these women have not come out In the trial. I know of three contribu tor, who left the city when See was arrested and a fourth who went - to California. A Sheridan. Wyo.. society woman gave him $2500. but she. too, got out of the way before the trial." See Doe. Not Testify. See did not take the witness stand In his own behalf. The announcement that the defense rested wa. made at the opening of court by Attorney Cant well, and came as a surprise to the prosecution, who confidently believed that See would take the stand to tell hi. own .tory and interpret certain passage, from the "Book of Life." It Is said See waa anxious to testify, but finally wa. persuaded by hi. at torney to keep off the witness stand. When court convened today attorney, for the defense announced that they had other witnesses, but were willing to stand on tha evidence ' already intro duced. The state called Mona Rees. high priestess of the absolute life cult, and Captain Danner, of the Sheffield station. In rebuttal. Mona had testified that she had writ ten the greater part of See', unpublished bible, and her testimony before Judge TuthlU, In which .he Mid 8ee was the author of the teachings, was Introduced. Captain Danner wa. recalled for the pur pose of proving that Haxel Danner. who I. suing See for $60,000, I not a myth. One of the sensation, of the day was the dl.charge of Grant Newell a. attor ney for Mona. He appeared when Mona took the stand and suggested question to a lawyer for the defense. l.aw)er Ordered Ont. Judge Honore reproached Newell and ordered him out of the case. Newell protested, but wss told that he was too Intimate with counsel for the defense to act for Mona. A sensational ending came when Po lice Captain Danner. called In rebuttal by th state, declared that the $50,000 damage suit against See. brought In th name of Ha.el Danner. his supposed niece, rharglng she waa abducted by the revealer. waa a "frame-up." He declared there waa no such girl as Ha.el Danner, to his knowledge, and that he had no brother with a daughter anywhere near the age given by the mysterious girl litigant.
