THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 13, 1913. WILSON QUOTED FOB HEAD OF LETTUCE MEASURES 50 INCHES IN CIRCUMTER ENCE AND 22 INCHES IN DIAMETER. Watson of Indiana Reads From President's Declaration in "Our Nsw Freedom." OPPOSING CAUCUS fi' - x ! NEW METHOD ATTACKED Greater Secrecy In Making Tariff Never Observed Than Marked Cndenvood Bill, Ohio Re publicans Are Told. COLUMBUS. O.. July 12. Business Interests have a right to be represented at Washington, but would' not need to maintain ' a lobby there if the Tariff Board were kept up, argued ex-Representative Watson, of Indiana, the prin cipal speaker at today's annual outing of the Buckeye Republican Club. He referred to- the lobby investigation by the Senate committee, before which he will be a witness next week by his own request. He did not mention Colonel Mulhall, whose published correspond ence referred to him. "I plead for business to go on and do business In this country," he said. "There had to be a shaking? up. Roose velt came along; at the right time. He was a castor oil statesman. But he wanted the Nation to take castor oil all the time. But now Rive honest busi ness a chalice. "Soak Him" Written on Temple. "Don't keep hammering it continu ously. The present tendency Is icono clastic to smash something;. Over the American, temple is written today, 'Soak him.' I am being; investigated myself. That Is a personal matter. I didn't do anything; wrong;. "American business has a rigrht to be represented at Washington honestly represented," he said. "Men wouldn't need to go to Washington to give some data for making schedules If a tariff board were kept at work. I never knew a corrupt man In Congress or one who sold or would sell his vote for money." He attacked the Democratic method of making a tariff bill by caucus decree. Tariff Made Secretly. "President Wilson at Indianapolis in 'the first speech of his tour, said there was no necessity for secrecy in Con gressional discussion," said Watson. "Yet there was never such secrecy in making a tariff bill as tn the case of the Underwood bill, low the Simmons bill. In President Wilson's book, 'Our New Freedom, page 112, he says, "There is no excuse for the caucus in Con gress.' Yet for the first time in the history of tariff making a party caucus has been called forcibly to bind every Senator to vote for the tariff bill, Just as it comes from the committee, with out change or amendment. Theory at Princeton is one thing and practice at Washington Is another thing." SPENDTHRIFjrCHIDES SIRE X-Vencli Millionaire Reproached by Bon for Restraint. PARIS, July 12. (Special.) An amusing, though unfijlal series of re proaches have been directed against M. Jules Alexandre Duval, the millionaire proprietor of the Duval restaurants In Pans, by his son, M. Pierre Duval. M. Duval Is trying to limit this young man's opportunity for running up debts by obtaining a restraining order of the court against him. By the time he was 18, young Pierre Duval had accumu lated 4000 worth of 'labilities. He then entered a cavalry regiment for his term of military service, and, despite an allowance of 20 a week from home, he soon added another $4000 to the total. His father then, obtained the transfer of his on to an Algerian bat talion, but a couple of thousand dol lars were roon owing there, and In ad. dltion Pierre borrowed $60 from a shoemaker of the regiment. When his son returned to France the restaurant proprietor advertised in the newspapers that he would not be re sponsible for further debts. The young man replied by sending to his father a postcard bearing a lifelike sketch of jumseir. addressed "Au gentllhomme consomme" a French pun which may be roughly rendered, "To a broth of a gentleman. " The message read, "Many thanks for the little advertisement. From a scion of Godfrey de.. Bouillon the brilliant .rrencn mediaeval knlsrht. whose sur. name happens to be the title of the" nrst course on the bills of fare of the restaurants Duval." WOMEN ' ARE VIGILANTES Watch Kept on Liquor Traffic In County of Koscommon. BERLIN, July 12. (Special.) i-romp:ed by a spirit of emulation, a number of women In the County of Ros common have started a crusade against the activities or the liquor traffic in that territory. They have not yet adopted the Ama zonian methods of the women ot Kan sas, but there Is no doubt they have gone a long way towards modeling their campaign on the best American lines. The town of Roscommon has a liquor saloon for every 20 of its adult popu lation, and the women feel that this generous provision of drinking facil ities must ba reduced before the place can be restored to a normal-stale of sobriety. 'They have therefore constituted themselves a sort of vigilance society, and for the last two or three market days they have paraded the town look ing for persons under the influence of drink, whom they promptly hand over on discovery to the nearest policeman. They also mix amongst customers in the saloons, disguised in various ways, and report the smallest breach of the ' licensing laws to the local judges. What is most surprising is that many of the wives and daughters of the har assed saloon-keepers have Joined these new temperance campaigners. They feared the social 'Ostracism that would follow a refusal to act with the other women more than the remonstrances of their husbands and fathers. SAFE DEPOSIT VAULTS.

EXAMINATION NOT POPULAR Store Than S60O Offices of Various Grades Still Vacant, and No One Appears at Dates Set for Formal Tests. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash tngton, July 6. Postoffices are going begging, notwithstanding the general clamor of Democrats for places on the Federal payroll. In Oregon, for ex ample, there are four Presidential post offices vacant. In face of the fact that the Postmaster-General called on Sena tors Chamberlain and Lane to submit recommendations. The names of the offices are not made public at this time, but unless the Senators make recom mendations soon, the department will take other means of filling them. In addition to the four Presidential offices, there are 20 fourth-class offices In Oregon unfilled, but these will be filled by competitive examination un der the new civil service order, the sal aries being between $500 and $1000. Forty-five additional fourth-class offi ces; where the salaries run less than 1500 per annum, are vacant and will be filled by postoffice inspectors. Other States In Like Condition. In Washington the situation is equally bad, there being seven Presidential offices and 29 fourth-class offices worth more than $500 a year vacant, while 39 of the smaller offices are to be filled by inspectors. In Idaho one Presiden tial office is vacant; 30 fourth-class offices of the higher grade, and 35 of the smaller offices are all awaiting ap pointments. In the United States at large there- are 471 vacant Presidential postmaster ships, and there are 1353 fourth-class offices paying from $500 to $1000 where candidates have not appeared, while the total of small offices vacant is 1796. This situation, except as to Presiden tial postoffices, indicates that candi dates who otherwise might apply for these appointments do- not care to bother with a civil service examina tion. ' Applicants Do Not Appear. Of the better grade of fourth-class offices, all are vacant because when examinations were set no one appeared to take the test, and in the smaller offices the vacancies occur largely be cause those appointed by postoffice in spectors must pass a pro forma exami nation before they can be commissioned. It looks, at a glance, as though the Postoffice Department Is in for a loirg siege of embarrassment because of the civil service rule applied to fourth-class postoffices, and the prediction,, made when the order became operative, is being fulfilled.- People do not want to bother with a civil service examina tion to get a small-salaried office. SUIT FILED TO QUIET TITLE State Is Asked to Clear Ownership to "Wagon Road Grants. Charles Aitschul brought suit yester day in the Multnomah County Circuit Court against the State of Oregon to quiet title to 107.893 acres of land, part of old wagon road land grants. Through a clerical error this land was conveyed years ago by the Federal Government to the State of Oregon instead of to the Willamette Valley & Cascade Mountain Wagon Road Company, which was to receive it in consideration for building a wagon road across the southern counties of the state. The tract consisted originally of 876.480 acres, covered by 23 patents. Ot these. No. 1. was issued erroneously, the others being Issued directly to the company. The relief sought by Mr. Aitschul Is that the 6tate be decreed to have held the land in trust for the company. ' Rivers to Be Snrveyed. ' - SALEM. Or..
