GOMEZ LIKELY TO BE ' CHOSEN CUBA'S LEADER 0RE6Q The k' -J j ; Tho Most wMMMffX Best Value AUijgg Quality - HUE FOR PRIZE Ellis or Hawley iliffht Head Rivers and Harbors ( Com mittee Cusliman's Job. . By John l La thro p. , Washington, D. - C. Nor. 10. The membership of the house committee on rivers and harbors will be open to some Pacific ndtttawest representative when Congressman Jones of Washington leaves the house for' the senate, March 4. Owing to the assurance that there will be a special session immediately following this session, when the new committee assignments will be effect ive, the scramble has begun and the pressure has already been put on Speak er Cannon, since it is commonly expect ed that he 'will be reelected. It seems unlikely that Poindexter, who succeeds Jones, could procure Jones' present place on the' rivers and harbors commit tee, and because. Idaho will have a new member there Is no chance for Idaho. Humphrey of Washington Is the ranlt- liig member of the merchant marine and fisheries committee, now that Llt tlefleld of Maine is out of congress, and .Humphrey is known to have made a specialty of the ship subsidy bill. Hence he is likely to remain on that committee until ha gets the chalrman- E?llts or Hawley of Oregon may haj, an opportunity to procure the vers and, harbors membership, thcflrh It is almost certain that such' a concession at this time would be made only In re turn for an agreement to "go- easy on tariff revls;o.i, it being known that Speaker Cannon will use all- the influ ence of committee assignment to fore fend against material changes in the tariff schedules. Oushmu'i Assignment. . Representative Cushman stands- in line for the chairmanship of the house committee on private land claims, ins present chairman, Thomas F. Marshall of North Dakota, will not be a mem ber of the Sixty-first congress. Cush man Is tire ranking member of the committee. The chairmanship is regard ed as a fairly good assignment. The committee has spacious quarters in the new house office building, on the sec nr,A tnnr n1 holds weekly meetings, on Wednesdays. The chairman has n extra clerk, besides the clerx allowed all representatives. Cushman has been recognised as a staunch supporter of Speaker Cannon, who Is prone to re ward those who stand by him. When ever no question arises as to ordinary qualifications, the ranking member of any committee' succeeds the outgoing chairman if the speaker lias no grudge to pay off. In this instance Cushman may lay clarm to the application of the regular rule of precedence, backed by a record of undevlatlrtg loyalty to Can non. Cushman's well known opposition to material changes in tariff schedules will probably give him a closer stand in with the speaker to land the posi tron if he desires it. WOULD BANISH H01Y ROLLERS East Side Neighborhood Up in Arms Against Colony of Fanatics. Holy Boilers are not considered de sirable cltlsens on the East Side and property owners and people living In the Immediate vicinity of East Twelfth and Pine streets are taking steps to force the rapidly -increasing colony of this sect that has located In this dis trict to find another home. Tt la rnntended hv the Owners of houses nearby that the value of their property Is depreciated by the presence of this band of religionists, known to themselves as members of the "Apos tolic Faith." A school has been opened at East Twelfth and Pine streets where 80 of the younger members are taught the mysteries of the peculiar religion in addition to reading, writing, arith metic, etc This morning the pupils gave vent to their feelings in piercing yells and shrieks which the neighbors say are part of the routine duties of the school. . The school is conducted by Brother end 8lster Treadway, of Pennsylvania, for the purpose, according- to the brother, of Hiving the young apostles a place to absorb an education and at the same time be free from the taunta of other children who attend public schools and dub them "Holy Rollers." The clan Is presided over by John Glasgow, a, negro, and meetings are held ntshtlv at the corner of Front and BurnBlde streets and In the Faith Home at Bast Thirteenth and Pine streets. The hall on Front street la open to all Sinners, but the home is private,, un less the visitor wishes to kneel in prayer and take active part In - the services. Thirteen apostles were found eating breakfast at a rude table in the home of seven room, this morning. Sometimes, the neighbors say, as many as 20 of the faith spend the night in the small house and It Is the gen eral belief, while few have ever been past the threshold, that sanitary con ditions are not as they should ba In side. The washtubs have admittedly been emptied out of the windows and the lawn Is no credit to the city. This Is explained by Mrs. Abble Pavne, the housekeeper, as something that has nothing to do with the next world. "We are serving God," sue said this morning, "and we care not what the neighbors mav think." The house la carpetless and without window curtaina and the occupants are ?oorly garbed. This, together with the act that none of the members are ever seen at work, Is one of the great est faults found by those who live near the home. Everyone comments un favorably on the appearance of the men and women who are seen coming to and leaving the house. The house Is leased to the sect by Buchtel & Kern, East Side real estate dealers, who have been persuaded to raise the rent to $25 from 120 in an effort to rid the neighborhood - of the rellglsts. but the occupants show no signs of moving out. Since they were notified, of the Increased rent they have put In considerable more furniture and many of the faith come there to wor ship. There were 18 present when the roll was called this morning. Mr. Kern says that the rent Is always' paid promptly and In advance. , Brother Treadway says that they ask no one for money. All appear to be well fed. but Mr. Treadway was the only member In sight who was decently dressed. He resents the hostile feelings of the neighborhood. CONSERVERS WANT TO SEE CHAMBERLAIN By John E. lAthrop. Washington. D. C, Nov. 10. Much In quiry la heard here as to the probability of Governor Chamberlain's attending the national conservation meeting here, De cember S. Governors are expected from all the states. Owing to the prominence that Chamberlain has attained through out the country lately, the promoters of the coming: conference hope he will attend. It is generally recognised that this meeting. In the same week' with that ef the National Rivers and Harbors association, will be one of the most lm- Fortant ever held and will have an in luence on congress in Us provision for waterways Improvement Several gov- ernors will send the same represents-1 tlves to this meeting as attended thai 1 . bald last spring. , ' I - V,' , (VlW i ,f.-i - - f ff f : - - , ' i- '- i General Jose Miguel Gomez, who was nominated by both the Gomez and the Zayaa liberal oonventlons as the liberal candidate for president of Cuba, prob ably will be chosen at the election No vember 14, for he has for the first time the united support of his party, and his policies and personality are popular. A year ago he was the can didate of the Liberal party, but was de feated by President Palma, the Con servative head of the government who resigned, owing to a controversy over the elections. General Oomes was ar rested when the revolution against Preeldent Palma broke out In- August, 190(1, but was soon released. His fol lowers are known as the "Mlguellsta" Liberals General Menocal, the nominee of the Conservatives, is, the opposition candidate. The United States -administration of the Inland through Gov ernor Magoon will be ended by the elec tions of this month and affairs of all klnrta turned over to the new government. SIIIIER 'BUST - PAY OWII FEES At the meeting of the Judiciary com mittee of the council yesterday after noon an opinion from City Attorney Kavanaugh holding that the city can force the Southern Pacific to remove its steam locomotives from Fourth street, was read.' No action was taken on the matter. The council will. It Is believed, give the railway an extension of time In which to change from steam to electricity. The committee disallowed the claim of attorneys Logan and MaJarkey for $760 as a fee for defending ex-Policeman Sultter who was tried for the murder of Harry Shaffer. Councilman Vaughn, declared that Sultter ought to be glad to get off with his life and be satisfied to pay his own attorneys' fees. COMMODITY RATES TO BE INCREASED Important changes In freight rates to and from the Pacific coast will be made by the new transcontinental tariffs that are to go into effect January 1. All points on the Pacific coast between San Diego, Cal., and Vancouver, B. C, will be effected by the changes. It is said that the. tendency will be to Increase commodity rates under the new tariff. Some Increases as high as 10 per cent are intended, although the average will be from 5 to 10 cents on the hundred. Class rates. It is said, will be slightly reduced. General Freight Agent Miller of the Harrlman lines said this morning that the changes would not seriously affect Oregon shippers and were only such as the railroads felt were demanded by changed conditions in shipping. Class rates, according to the general report, will be slightly reduced in some instances, but' there will be fewer changes in class than in commodity rates, as the'latter have practically su perseded the former to and from Pa cific coast points. GREAT PLANS FIJI! Friends of Walla Walla In stitution Plan to En large Its Scope. Many Sextons Disorders May Sult - from Impoverish Blood bat Br. Williams' pink Pills Prevent and Core Tfcem. Besides the thinning of the blood In I anaemia there is a low vitality which ihi a matter for serious consideration be cause it gives opportunity for any latent trouble to develop. Thus, anaemic (bloodless) peopleVuften have reason to ! fear consumption, and the blood falling to jive proper nourishment to the nerves, debility, neuralgia, and even some form of paralysis may result. Mrs. R. U Harrod of 413 South Ohio avenue, Muncie, Ind., recommends Dr. Williams' Pink Pills because they re stored her to health when all other medicines failed. "Fifteen years ago," she says, "when I was living at Belle fontaine, Ohio, I was suffering with anaemia. I was pale and had a wax like color and was so short of breath that I couldn't go up stairs without stopping to rest or couldn't stand the least little exertion. I was run down and very thin, didn't feel like eating and rtHn't want to talk to or see anyontt. My heart would palpitate so that I . V - .

"The doctors told me that my blood was turning into water, and that I was folng Into a decline and asked me if here had been any consumption In my family. They didn't help me at all and I had read so much about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I decided to try a box of them. They helped me so much that I gave up all other medicine and pinned my faith to them alone. I took several boxes and In a few weeks was com pletely restored to health. I became Strong and healthy and was able to WOTK again. X llliuw i. ininum x Pills saved my life and I heartily recom mend them." . A helpful booklet "Diseases of the Blood" giving more Information about anaemia will be sent free upon re quest. If you are suffering from Im poverished blood you cannot afford to wait another dav before giving Tr. Wil liams' Pink Pills a thorough trial.

An educational congress is to be held at Whitman college, at Walla Walla, Wash., November 17 and 18, for the pur rose of promoting a plan to enlarge the scope and facilities of the Institution with a view to making it the great seat of learning of the Paclflo northwest In vitations to this congress and to a ban quet to be given In honor of Dr. D. K. Pearsons have been received in Port land. Whitman college Is one .of the pro gressive educational Institutions of the northwest, being now, after years of struggle, on a sound financial basis, of fering a complete course leading to the degree of bachelor of arts, and having an attendance of 400 students. This is regarded as a good foundation upon which to build a college that shall be for Washington, Oregon and Idaho what Ann Arbor is to Michigan or Yale and Harvard to the sections of the country from which they draw the majority of their students. But It takes money to build a great school. Whitman now has buildings and grounds valued at $300,000, and Is endowed for a similar amount. This Is a starter, and it Is proposed to add to this a million dollars to be raised in the Paclflo northwest and possibly as much again, to be contributed by friends of learning in the east. Walla Walla, the home town of the Institution, has already promised to -raise a quarter of a minion dollars ror trie school, and there is no doubt that other cities will contribute In proportion. It is for the purpose of starting the movement under proper auspices and working along systematic lines that the educational congress Is to be held. This will be attended by representative cltl sens from the three states, and there is every reason to hope that the meet ing will be successful and that a start will be made toward making Whitman as great as Stanford and more efficient.
