WILSON FAVORS PRUNING Committee Substitute, Cutting $18,- 000,000 lYom Original $53, tt'00,00'0, Introduced Barton "Would Cut to 928,000,000. WASHINGTON, SepO 19. Democratic champions of the rivers and -harbors appropriation bill gave up the light to break down the filibuster of Senators Burton and Kenyon against the meas ure at 6:30 o'clock today, after a. ses sion which had been, continuous since 11 A. M. Friday. Having failed to wear out the phys ical endurance of the Senator from Ohio and his Iowa colleague. Demo cratic leaders learned of reinforcements coming from the filibusterers and agreed to a recess until Monday morn ing. In the meantime conferences of Dem ocratic Senators are to be held which may trim the bill further or possibly reach a compromise with the opposi tion. President's Position Is Factor. One force whlcn Influenced the Democrats- to give up their entrenched po sition against the filibuster was de clared tonight to be the attitude of the President, who has advocated strict economy of Government expenditures in view of the financial stringency and the forthcoming war tax. For the President to sign a bill ap propriating money for a new water way project and another taxing the public pocket to meet a treasury dif iclt, some Democrats not earnestly in favor of the bill insisted, would put the party in an inconsistent position, Sev eral Democrats have proposed that the bill be deferred until next session. Early in the day Democratic leaders were considerably perturbed over a re port that the President had let it be known that he favored substituted for the bill a joint resolution appropri ating from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 for the continuation of existing projects. Senators Simmons, Randall, Sheppard and others were greatly surprised at the report and declared the President bad sot discussed it with them. Careful Pruning; Urged. They sought to confirm the report t the White House. Late in the day they communicated with the President by telephone, after which the Sen ators, declared the President had not authorized any statement that he fa vored abandoning the bill. Later it was said the President had urged as careful pruning of the bill as pos sible in view of existing financial con- i dltions. The committee substitute for section 1 of the bill, cutting $18,000,000 from the original $53,000,000, was introduced today, after which Senator Burton of fered an amendment reducing the total to aDout $23,000,000. This, it is said, will, form the basis for the compromise. Senator Borah will return to Wash ington in time to aid the Republicans Monday, and Senator Norrls, though he limped from a sick bed to be on hand today, was ready to help Senators Burton and Kenyon tonight had the Democrats insisted upon a night ses sion. Barton Rests on Arm of Chair. Senator Burton talked all night Fri day, but remained at his "post and re lieved Senator Kenyon at xO o'clock today. lie rested considerably while the bill was being read, then again took up the struggle, wearied but un dismayed. Occasionally he was com pelled to sit on the arm of a chair, talking from that position. Though this was unprecedented, none of his col leagues demanded that the Senator be in order by rising when addressing the Senate. - The Ohio Senator yielded temporarily to Senator Sterling shortly before 5 o'clock. Soon thereafter the Democrat ic leaders held a conference and agreed upon the recess. EX-CONVICT IS KILLED DEPUTY SHERIFF OF MORROW COUNTY "GETS HIS MAX." Charles Earhart, Five Years Resident at Oregon Penitentiary, Tries to Kill Man Who Arrested Him. HEPPNER, Or., Sept. 19. (Special.) Walter Cason, aged 41, deputy Sher iff of Morrow County and marshal of lone, tonight shot And instantly killed Charles Earheart, aged 46, an ex-convict from the Oregon penitentiary, in front of the Palace Hotel, when the latter pulled a gun on the officer and cried: "Your game's up; I am going to get you." Earheart, who had been drinking, twice shot wide of his mark, and before lie could turn a third barrel, Cason, quick as a flash, drew his revolver, and, with one shot in the breast. Earheart fell dead. , Earheart often had threatened the life of Cason, who, as Marshal of lone, arrested him the night of July 3, 1$08, for "shooting up the town." At that time Earheart injured several persons, and for his escapades served five years in the Salem institution. Last year he came here. He formerly was a saloon keeper at lone. Here he has been doing nothing, but of late had been drinking heavily. Earheart had no family. The only witnesses ' to the killing were Guy Cason. son of the Deputy Sheriff, and Hugh Rorick, a citizen. The Casons had come to Heppner to attend the last day of the Morrow County Fair, which was a success from start to finish, the day receiving its thrill when Miss Julia Belmont, of Chi cago, balloonist, was dragged several hundred feet and slammed against a hill. She was unconscious four hours. The parachute had opened after the ascension, and just as her feet touched the ground to land a strong gust of wind caught the parachute and Miss Belmont was carried away again. She is now in a hospital here. CLEETON CASE DATE ASKED Attorneys Would Argue Mandamus Before Supreme Court Thursday. .

The school offices in the Courthouse have been besieged by queries recently from Portland residents who do not un derstand why new textbooks are being introduced this year in the Portland schools. - 'Under the old school law each dis trict was required to make a new adop tion of books every six years." said City Superintendent Alderman yester day. "However, the Portland district, in order to save expense and profit by tne experience of other districts in the regular state adoption which came a year ago, postponed its adoption until this Fall, which made seven years since previous adoption. "The new school law allows the Port land district and all other districts that have at least 20.000 school children to change textbooks whenever its officers think best, so long as it does not make new adoptions oftener than every four years. Personally, I shall recommend that this district change books when it has to, one subject at a time, and not at all unless there is need for it. Effect ing the new adoptions by piecemeal would avoid placing a severe burden on the parents at any one time." MAGAZINE EDITORS HELD Grand Jury to Act on Charge of ' Publishing Military Secrets-.

An eye test that costs but five cents and is worth the price aside from the value of the test is a moving-picture show. If you can sit through an aver age program without your eyes ach ing or feeling dry and tired and with out feeling an inclination to open ami close them frequently, and if an hour later, or the next morning, your eyes feel perfectly smooth and easy, there ia nothing much the matter with them. If, however, after such a program your vision is dim, your eyes feel dry or irritated or burn or itch or ache or feel overworked, try this prescription: Optons 5 Grains (1 tablet). Water 2 ounce. Dissolve the tablet In the 2 ounces of water and use as an eye wash from two to four times a day. This applica tion relieves the tired feeling, seems to lessen the stress or strain and makes your eyes feel smooth and fine. It is a boon after an evening at the movlnsr pictures or after a hard day's work where you have used the eye inces santly. Irritation, inflammation and many minor eye troubles are greatlv benefited and sometimes wholly cured by the use of this prescription. If you wear glasse, try it. You may, to your own surprise, find that you do not need them. Glasses bought at cheap stores without scientific adjustment to the eyes, or glasses worn too long without readjustment, are oftentimes not onlv absolutely unnecessary, but positivelv injurious. The use of this prescription may give you a favorable opportunitv to judge whether or not you need glasses. It is a simple home remedv that has been used by hundreds of thousands, and among its users manv regard it as an indispensable part of their daily toilet. Any druggist can fill this prescription. Adv.
