: GLASS BILL UNDER FIRE

r i
Texan 'Would Give Committee Pie.
nary Power and Minnesotan
Expresses Kear Glass Bill
Fosters Monopoly.
WASHINGTON, July 12. Currency
difficulties broke out along: two dif
ferent lines In the House today with
the introduction of resolutions direct
ing: investigations.
The first, by Representative Henry,
proposed a renewal of the investiga
tion of the money trust, as an adjunct
and aid to the banking: committee in
its consideration of the Administra
tion currency bill. The second, by Rep
resentative Lindbergh, of Minnesota,
Progressive member of the committee,
proposes an investigation to determine
whether the Glass bill would not create
a monstrous monopoly controlled and
operated by private Interests.
Plenary Power Proposed.
Representative Henry's resolution
would give the committee plenary visl
itorlal and inquisitorial powers over
National banks and interstate corpor
ations. In a statement accompanying:
his resolution. Representative Henry
declared that it was introduced "solely
with a view to aid an ex parte con
sideration of pending banking- cur
rency legislation and stiould be has
tened, to '"aid the banking: committee
to gain all the banking information
concealed that would be of vast im
port in solving the currency problem."
Pittsburg Failures Cited.
He declared that the recent bank
failures in Pittsburg emphasized the
need of knowing directly "how these
great institutions use their office boys,
stenographers or porters as dummies to
wreck and loot banks and rob innocent
depositors of their trust funds. "We
need to dig deeper into their manipu
lations, schemes and conspiracies In
order to understand why they greatly
dread the eye of Federal scrutiny."
Representative Lindbergh's resolu
tion contained as a preamble an at
tack on the methods of the Democratic
members of the banking committee la
considering the Glass bill in secret con
ference. Banking Monopoly Feared.
It proposes an Investigation by "a
committee of seven to determine
whether the Glass bill would not cre
ate a Government policy inconsistent
with the Sherman law doctrine by fos
tering a monopoly to control privately
for selfish interests the distribution of
money and credit," and whether or not
it "is constitutional for the Govern
ment to provide a method by which to
organize private Interests Into a com
pact mutual interest with the power
to control the distribution of money
and credit."
Both resolutions were referred to the
rules committee, of which Representa
tive Henry is chairman.
SALEM COUNCILMAN SUED
Mrs. Maggie May Ivie Asks $50 0 0

The libel is alleged to have been
committed by Minton at a meeting of
the committee of the Council called
to Investigate the police department
and also to learn if there were any
disorderly houses in the city.. Mr.
Minton, since becoming a member of
the Council, has waged an aggressive
fight against saloons and also against
the police, who he has declared are not
enforcing the law as to them and dis
orderly houses. He recently came into
the limelight when he headed an in
vestigation directed against the po
lice department and which he lost, the
investigating committee exonerating
the police and also submitting a rind
ing to the effect that there were no
disorderly houses in the city.

FLORA SACKVILLE WEST.
SISTER IS DANGER
London Discusses Social Sta
tus of Sackvilie Wests. -
UPPER CIRCLES" AMUSED
Bar Sinister on Escutcheon of Proud
Lady Who Declared Lady Prank
lln to Be Her Inferior
Is Kecalled.
LONDON, July 11. (Special.)
Though the trial of the famous "suit
for millions," Involving Lady Sack
vilie West's possession of the large
estate willed to her by Sir John Scott,
is over, London society Is still talking
of one of the side issues of the case.
This new Interest In the case, which
pervades every drawing-room in the
West End, Is intensified by the new
limelight beinfj sned on Flora Sack
vilie West, sister of the fair defend
ant, who won the suit brought by Sir
John's heirs. Flora does bare-legged
dancing in London music halls and
her managers are making the most
of the indirect publicity she is ob
taining through the affair.
Lady Sackvilie West said on the wit
ness stand that Lady Franklin was
her Inferior socially. Lady Franklin
based her assertion on the fact that
she was the mistress of Knole, one of
the historic family seats of Great Brit
ain. Lady Franklin's home was much
less Important, she said.
Society Circles Amused.
Society permits Itself to be amused,
in a perfectly well-bred way, over
this assumption of social superiority,
recalling, as it does, the position of
Lady Sackvilie West's sister, and that
also of the brother of these two. The
brother is a carpenter in a little vil
lage near Knole, making a precarious
living by day's wages. So the situa
tion is presented that Lady Sackvilie
West has a sister who entertains
crowds in the amusement places and
a brother who tolls, while she herself
enjoys an immense Income, the larger
part of which was the gift of a rich
old baronet.
It is this incongruity that has served
to keep gossip over the case alive and
to emphasize another fact affecting the
social status of Lady Sackvilie West.
Bar Sinister Brought Out.
It is recalled that the sisters and
the brother were the Illegitimate chil
dren of Sir Lionel Sackvilie West, who
for a time was the British Ambassador
to the United States, but was recalled
because of an indiscretion in connec
tion with an American political cam
paign. The eldest sister became the
wife of her cousin, present holder of
the title.
British court records contain evi
dence, now being bandied about with
gusto, that Lady Sackvilie West, in
order that her husband might be con
firmed in his right to the title, testi
fled to her own illegitimacy and
brought into court the birth certlfi
cates proving that fact, and also in
eluding her brother and sister in the
same category.
PRIEST ACCUSED OF THEFT
Bellini "Madonna" Stolen, Not
Burned, Police of Rome Say.
ROME, "July 12. Father Cresclnl,
custodian of the Church of San Maria
Trastevere, the titular church of Cardl
nal Gibbons, has been arrested, charged
with the theft of a picture, ''Madonna
and Child," a masterpiece of Giovanni
Bellini.
In November, 1911, there was a fire
in this church and apparently the Bel
lini masterpiece was destroyed. Re
cently It was found in Florence and,
according to the police. Father Cres-
clni was responsible for the fire, which
he set for the purpose of concealing
the theft of the picture. The master
piece was sold for $800.
LICENSE NOT SUFFICIENT
Bridegroom-to-Be 'Surprised to Learn
He Is Not Vet Married.
VANCOUVER, Wash., July 12. (Spe
cial.) After securing a license to mar
ry here today, Sam Carli, 27, said to
Charles Wirch, Deputy County Auditor:
"Well, we are now married and it is
all settled, is it?"
"No, I should say not," replied Mr.
Kircher, pushing a 50-cent piece over
the counter as the change from the $5
gold' piece given in payment for the
license. "You will have to go to a
minister or Justice of the Peace and
have him perform a marriage ceremony.
I only gave you a license to marry; I
have not married you."
Sam and his bride-to-be, Miss Car
dano Vetorea, 21 years old, astonished,
turned to the witness, L. Caragnaro,
and a consultation was had. The ad
dress of a minister was secured and
the trio went to have the ceremony per
formed. Three other licenses were granted
today.
RESERVOIR SITES FOUND
Fair Price Paid on Columbia South
f
ern Project, Says Official.
SALEM, Or,, July 12. (Special.) At.
torney-General Crawford returned to
day from the site of the Columbia
Southern project, where he went to buy
property upon which to erect reservoirs
for the storage of water. Mr. Craw
ford said the desired sites were ob
tained at a fair price, and that the
work authorized by the last Legisla
ture was progressing rapidly under the
supervision of Engineer Laurgaard. Ac
cording to the Attorney-General two
years at least will be consumed by the
state In irrigating 23,000 acres for
which an appropriation of $450,000 was
made.
About 50 men are employed at pres
ent and the engineer expects to enlarge
the force soon. After the state finishes
its work the Federal Government will
be asked to appropriate $450,000 for an
extension of the project. Secretary of
the Interior Lane has indicated that
money will be provided If the proposi
tion has been correctly represented to
the department. It also is probable
that the Federal Government will be
asked to assist in the building of a
dam.
COLUMBIA FALLS RAPIDLY
Boatlanding at Hood River Is Again
Shifted Stile From City.
HOOD RIVER, Or., July 12. (Special.)

wharfs at the foot of First street, but
a short distance from the business sec
tion of the city, will have to be aban
doned. The river has fallen 15 feet
from the crest of the high water of
the year. Business men regret to see
the wharfboats removed to the low-
water landing, almost a mile from the
city.
The pear orchard of F. H. Button,
which was submerged, yis apparently
dead, the leaves having turned black.
J. H. Koberg, who has extensive truck
gardens east of the city on the flood
lands, will lose heavily because of
drowned vegetables. However, the
sediment, several Inches in depth over
his place, will repay him indirectly for
his loss.
