Washlngrton, Dec 16. A movement to
curtail the power of the speaker of trie
house of representative, started by
Gardner of Massachusetts by reforming
the rules, was defeated today by a vote
Of 148 to 1S6.
Gardner recently introduced a resolu
tion that provided that Secretary of
State Root should be asked to ascertain
whether the English house of commons
appointed a committee to consider the
rules-of-the house, and to report not
lster than February 1, 1909. as to
Whether any desirable changes were
suggested The resolution was referred
to the committee on foreign relations.
, and was laid on the table In the com
mittee. Gardner today moved that the
resolution be removed from the com-
' mlttee, and the motion was carried on
a roll call by a vote of 146 to 134.
Gardner then moved to strike out cer
tain language in the resolution so that
as amended It provided for the appoint
ment of a committee of five by the
speaker and three by the democratic
leader to consider the rules and report
February 1. 1909.
' When it was discovered that the
amendment effected this change there
was much excitement, and the leaders
'hastily sent for the absentees. ..."
Representative Payne, rising to a
point of order, was recognized by the
speaker. Gardner appealed from the de
rision of the chair. Payne moved to
ly the appeal on the table. Then Payne
demanded roll call, which finally re
sulted in Gardner's defeat.

.' SATURDAY,
Monday's Piano Sales Great
' cr Than Previous Big:
Recorcl. ,
The statement made in Sunday's
Journal of the large number of pianos
soia oy itinera nano houm eaiuraay,
among which were seven instruments.
each one costing over 760. seems to
have caused considerable "comment. Inr
struments of .such high cost are not
articles of general sale, nevertheless
each one of the instruments enumerated
was '-purchased by a buyer of Portland
Saturday. .
To further' illustrate Oregon's won
derfully prosperous condition, while not
so many or tna very -nignest-prieea in
struments ' were sold yesterday, alto-
father Monday's sales exceeded Satur
ay's, ' ., ' ' .-! -Numerous
instruments are set aside
to be specially delivered on Christmas
eve or Christmas day. but. nevertheless.
the shipping clerk last night had slated
no less cnan i nne new pianos lor to
day's delivery.
Where is a mora definite proof of the
devlooment and arowth of musical edu
cation in Portland than Mte record at
Kilers Piano' House? Incidentally, too.
it shows that the many broad claims of
others notwithstanding, . Eilers Piano
House is after all the only place in
Portland where ' the best and the most

STEEL IS
HIGHER IIOIV
(United press Leased Wire.)
Washington, Dec. 15. Charles M.
Rohwab, the steel magnate, appeared
before the ways and means committee
at the tariff hearing today and said:
"I have nothing to ask and nqthlng
to state."
He made 'this assertion In reply to
Chairman Payne, who had said:
"The committee wants to know a
number of things you know. Would
you prefer that ve ask you questions
or that you make the first statement?"
Schwab said he was not connected
with the United States Steel corporation
except as a stockholder.
Chairman Payne then read a letter
to Schwab from Henry C Frick. written
May 15, 1899, saying they could make
rails. In Pittsburg for less than $12 per
ton and that the cost In England was
$19 per ton. The letter explained that
"we can sell for this price abroad at
nearly as good advantage as we can get
for .the home price," and added,- "we
are 'going to control the steel business
of the world." Payne asked:
"Was that true?"
"Yes, at that time." said Schwab,
"but I may explain that I was young
and enthusiastic then. That was my
optimistic day. My point of view was
that of the manufacturing department.
The $12 was the mill cost, with none of
the general charges for interest and de
preciation Included. The English cost
included these charges."
Schwab explained the details of the
cost of manufacture and explained
minutely how rails now cost $21.50.

in their cabin near Shaver yesterday.

BOARDING HOUSE
After having, heard statements from
both sides, the trustees and members of
the navigation committee of the cham
ber of commerce are this afternoon de
bating the advisability of seeking new
legislation governing the management
of sailor boarding houses in this state.
The discussion is not expected to be
concluded this afternoon, as there are
many phases to be taken Into considera
tion when it comes to the question of
fireparlng a bill to be presented to the
eglslature, and another special meet
ing will undoubtedly have to be called
soon, when some sort of an understand
ing will presumably be reached.
The meeting is an aftermath to the
disqovery that so far as the employment
of sailors is concerned any on in posses
sion of a city employment agency li
cense can do so without permission
from the state board of sailor boarding
house commissioners.
The Norwegian vice consul. Endre M.
Cederbergh, who has taken active part
In getting the cost of hiring sailors re
duced, was among those to be heard.
He explained how Norwegian tonnage
had been able to get any number of
sailors desired in this port without
having to go to the sailor boarding
house and also stated that from what
he has observed the sailor is well able
to take care of himself on shore, as
well as on the sea without having a
guardian In the sailor boarding house
master.
Consular representatives of Great
Britain, Germany and the Netherlands,
concurred with Vice Consul Cederbe.-gh
In regard to the cost of furnishing sail
ors being excessive and so argued In
favor of Improved legislation.
Jack Grant, who holds the state li
cense to oncrate the one sailor boarding
hous4 conducted here spoke in favor of
the present system, Intimating that it
would be difficult to supply sailors for
a smaller fee than now charged, wfllch
it is understood is $55 per man. Includ
ing advance money.
Members of the sailor boarding house
commission were also present, but they
made no statement in view of the fact
that Chairman William MacMaster of
the commission Is a member of the trus
tees of the chamber of commerce, (be
fore which the hearing was held.

chunks around the stove, to be dry and
ready for use. When the pitch be
comes heated gas is formed and SDon
taneous combustion often results. Vhia
happened last year. Everybody but
Linn was drunk at the time and the
fact that he was jiober saved the lives
of all, as he dragged the others out of
the cabin. Lynn's theory .is. that an
other explosion ocpurred, and that the
men were unable to help themselves.
The coroner will arrive from Shaver tomorrow.

4 den Maxwell, a possible proto-
type of Arthur Stringer's crafty
4 cracksman. Is In the city prison
here while the police have in
4 their possession the finest kit
of burglar's tools ever seen in
the west. The authorities are
also holding Ramona Rives, a
beautiful Spanish woman, be-
lleved by them to have been used
successfully by Maxwell as de-
coy or scout, as the nature of the
4 enterprise on which he was en-
4 gaged required.
4 , Maxwell was found by the po-
4 Hce in lodgings above a store
4 which he is now believed to have
4 robbed. The kit now in possea-
4 slon of the police was in hla
4' room. It comprised a steel drill
4 with a motor attached, together
4 with several yards of wire and
4 a contrivance for adjustment to
4 an electric light socket; a blast-
4 ing machine fixed to explode
4 nitro-glycertn by means of a cap
1 4 and copper wire with a timer
1 4 so that an explosion could be
1 4 regulated to a second; drills,
1 4 wire nippers, explosives and
1 4 flash lamp.
! 4 Maxwell was living over the
J 4 store' of C. Chiappe. which was
4 entered last Saturday night. The
4 safe was blown open and $1000
4 was taken. The police believe
4 Maxwell committed the robbery
4 and that he was assisted by a
4 companion who is now in San
4 Francisco. The police of that
4 city have been notified.
