VANDALS ARE EXCLUDED PERMITS ARE CANCELED Ban on All Who Advocate Destruc tion of Property Is Agreed To . ithout Discussion Gen eral Debate Finished. CORPORATION COM.inSSIO.NER ACTS IV PORTLAND CASES. WASHINGTON", Jan. 31. The Senate was muck stirred today by the charge of Senator Lane, of Oregon, that a re port of the interstate commerce com mittee had been "doctored" at the re quest of Senator N'ewlands. The Vice President ruled that Senator Lane's re marks were a reflection on the com mittee and the Senator's exclusion from the floor, in a parliamentary sense, was prevented only by his withdraw ing the remarks. Senator Newlands said if Mr. Lane's charge had not been withdrawn be would have proposed a committee on investigation. "Oh, I've withdrawn it," said Sena tor Lane, and consideration of the whole subject went over until Monday. Senator Lane later said he would not abandon the fight for the adoption of his resolution, which proposes to in vestigate whether the United States Steel Corporation receives rebates from railroads. He will renew his efforts when the Senate meets next Monday, and expects further aid from Repub lican Progressive Senators Borah, Bris tow, Clapp and Kenyon. Intense Feeling: Aroused. Opposed to him are the chairman and members of the Interstate Com merce Commission. If it had been reached today the committee report re ferring the Lane resolution to the De partment of Justice and the Interstate Commerce Commission probably would have been adopted. The intense feel ing aroused by today's debate may ex cite sufficient Interest to change the result next week, and may result in the adoption of the Lane resolution in the form introduced by him, which de rects the Interstate Commerce Com mission to investigate rebate charges and call "VV. H. Green as a witness. Just before his attack on the com mittee, Senator Lane had defended Iavid Lamar as a person whose "wolf ing" was not to be compared with J. P. Morgan & Co.'s manipulation of New Haven affairs. "A short time ago," he said, "one of the greatest financiers of the country died, who had rolled the New Haven railroad system. Talk about 'wolfing' wall street then think of the people ef New England, widows and orphans, and the trust funds robbed to the tune of millions. The late J. P. Morgan manipulated that affair. If the truth is told, those affairs were as absolutely criminal a species of theft as was ever practiced in this country. Yet, he said he relied on and that the object of his life was to teach his son to 'preach the doctrine of salvation and the wash ing away ot sins through the blood of the Blessed Redeemer' and then he reached into his hip pocket, pulled out a harp and lit away for the gates of fylory, where I think St. Peter met him with a baseball bat. I don't know but he ought to." "I don't like to have the Senate dragged around as the tool of a black mailer," said Senator Hoot, without rising or addressing the chair, but speaking to Senator Cummins. Senator Brtstow sprang to his feet. "The Senator from New York said something." said he. "I don't know whether he meant It to go intA, the record." Root's Words Repeated. "Some persons seem mighty tender when it comes to discussing the steel trust," added Senator Brtstow, "a trust whose stock has gone up 10 per cent and has $500,000,000 of water." Senator Root, rising to a question of personal privilege, expressed his re gret that the Senator from Kansas had seen tit to have made a matter of pub lic record remarks he had casually made to Senator Cummins. Senator Stone, interrupting at that point, declared: "The Senator from Kansas Is in the habit of doing those things. Person ally I am tired of it." At that Juncture Senator Williams, declaring that the Senators appeared to be "In bad humor," demanded the regular order. Lane's C Large Recalled. The situation in the Senate today arose out of charges made by Sen ator Lane January 25 that the United States Steel Corporation has received $75. 000,00-0 In rebates within the last Bix years in violation of the law. At that time Mr. Lane declared "It does not make any difference if the 'wolf of - Wall Street' happens to favor my resolution. That has nothing to do with the case. I think I can substan tiate my charge. Witnesses with the 'goods' will be produced if the inquiry ia ordered." i At that time David Lamar in a state ment to newspapermen said Mr. Lane would have no difficulty in proving the charges. Biff Sum Involved. If Senator Lane's charge can be proved in court the Government can collect from the United States Steel Corporation more than $225,000,000 in fines and penalties, for the law says that if a person Is found guilty of ac cepting rebates or offsets he shall "in addition to any penalty provided by this act forfeit to the United States a sum of money three times the amount of money so received or accepted." Senator Lane introduced his resolu tion three weeks ago and asked for Immediate consideration. Senator New lands insisted that the resolution be referred to the interstate commerce committee and that was dona. During a hearing before the committee it de veloped that Iavid Lamar, the "wolf of Wall street," and Herman Shulteis, attorney for the Anti-Trust League, were behind the measure. William H. Green, of Creighton, Neb., who was to be the first witness under the provision of the resolution, testified that Lamar was advising him and refused to pro duce evidence to sustain the deliberate charge that the Steel Corporation bad received $75,000,000 in rebates. Senator Lane said he could eliminate Lamar, Gren and Schultels, if neces sary, and then prove his case against the Steel Corporation. Licenses of Investors Building & Trust Company and State Deposit & Mortgmfee Company Affected. SALEM, Or., Jan. 3L (Special)- Corporation Commissioner Watson to day canceled the permits to do busi ness in this state of the Investors Building & Trust Company and the State Deposit & Mortgage Company, of Portland. In letters to the officers he says an investigation of the books of the In vestors Building & Trust Company was recently made by John Y. Richardson, auditor of the department, and the re port had caused him to decide to can cel the permits. In his letter to the State Deposit & Mortgage Company Mr. Watson says: "This action is taken as a result of the examination of the books and rec ords of the Investors Building & Trust Company, and because of the inter locking association of your company and its close association with the In vestors Building & Trust Company. Any action against that company must of necessity vitally affect your com pany, and the cancellation of Its per mit of necessity carries with it the cancellation of the permit granted your company. Mr. Watson said he would ask Dis trict Attorney Evans to make an in vestigation of the books of the Inves tors Building & Trust Company. The commissioner today notified the Herron-Elder Gas & Oil Company, Ltd., of Portland, that it could not sell stock because it had not been granted a per mit. He said the company had adver tised stock for sale. OFFICER ISSTJES STATEMENT O. F. Darling, President, Says News Is His Only Notification. That the corporation commission al lowed it to be made public through the afternoon papers that it had canceled the permits of the Investors' Building & Trust Company and the State Deposit fie Mortgage Company, of Potrland. yesterday, and has not yet notified the officers of the companies themselves of its action, is the statement made by O. r . uarnng, president ot Both com panies. Mr. Darling alleged furthermore that jonn x . Richardson, on whose report the action of the Corporation Commis sioner was Dasea, never spent more than four hours In the offices of the company and that his Investigation of the books was neither thorough nor complete. "The action of the Corporation Com missioner was Dasea, so rar as I -can learn, upon this imperfect examination of the companies' . books and upon statements contained in an anonymous letter which had been sent to the Com missioner ana a copy or which was shown to me. Ibelleve that I know the source of the authorship of the letter. but am not yet prepared to say any thing upon that. "The statements concerning the con ditlon of the two companies, which were contained in the two afternoon papers, were practically a repetition of tne contents of that anonymous letter, and were in nearly every detail utterly witnout toundatlon." following information from Salem uistrict Attorney Evans took steps yesterday to ascertain whether the companies officers, O. F. Darling, presiaent oi tne investment company and A. E. Cooper are criminally liable, huopenas were Issued by the of ficial directing that Mr. Darling and Mr. Cooper produce the books of th company for examination by the grand jury. Mr. Richardson found in his investi gation, he said, that the Investment company's capital has been impaired and that he believes by taking imme diate action much that otherwise woul be lost will be saved to the stockhold ers of the company.

Omission of Asiatic exclusion from the Burnett Im migration bill precipitated lively dis cussion in the Hoase today, the debate extending into a night session. "Loose morals," declared Represen tative Curry, of California, "are uni versal among Japanese men and un condemned among Japanese women; their daughters are sold without shame into immorality and there are two million professional immoral women in Japan. The idea of marriage between whites and Asiatics is revolting and menacing with problems of a mongrel degeneracy. American Farmer Crowded Oat. "The Japanese are driving the Ameri can farmer out of business in Califor nia." Japan recently enacted a law,- Mr. Curry said, permitting aliens to hold real . estate when they come from a ountry which permits the Japanese a like privilege. Representative Raker, of California, whose bill for exclusion and certifica tion of Japanese and other Asiatics will be brought up later, quoted Thomas Jefferson as having said he wished there was a sea of Are separating the old country and America. Represen tative Mann, of Illinois, asked where most of the members of the House would be If that wish had been fulfilled. "In the sea of fire." shouted a mem ber. Literacy Test Opposed. Representative Moore, of Pennsylvania, opposing the literacy test, asserted that the bill would deprive a quarter of a million people the right to admission nto this country annually. He charged that the literacy test was levelled at labor rather than against crime. Rep resentative Goldfogle, of New York, de clared the bill was unjust to foreign- born people, and that those now In this country were as patriotic as any class of men. When general debate on the bill was concluded the House began the detailed consideration- of the measure. The amendment proposed by the immigra tion committee which would bar from the country all persons "who advocate the destruction of property" was adopted without discussion. The opponents of the measure, led by Representative Sabath, made a fight against the literacy test provision, and the proposal to strikeout the literacy test was pending when the House ad journed until Monday.
