.CO THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16. 1908. 14 POSTAL SAVINGS TALK ALL BLUFF No Sncli Bill Intended to Pass, and Bill Offered . Is Self-Nullifying. By John E. Lathrop. Washington. Dec. 16. "Your o;uess .that no postal savings bank bill will 1 fussed or other material alteration of ha fiscal system effected prior to the report of the Aldrloh monetary commis sion. I think is a good prophecy," was the answer today ty a prominent ad ministration western senator to my question-as to the probabilities of Sena tor Carter's bill being adopted. It Is apparent that no well Informed senators really expect the Carter bill to pass. It Is no prejudiced statement -to Bay that Carter himself kn'ow6 his bill ' is doomed to remain temporarily the object of apparent solicitude and then drop into ''innocuous desuetude." await " ing the Aldrlch commission's report and recommendation, which committee has hinted that it does not purpose includ ing the postal savings bank In Its scheme for financial reorganisation. I am Bure the curvent discussion In the senate in well understood here as morel v to keen campaign promises. which were, at Chicago, that postal sav ings bank legislation would be adopted after a short time. These propotai will then be permitted to die by neglect, or. If brought to vote, will be beaten. The present discussion Is also to "try , out" the. sentiment of the people throughoutithe country, which was made ' apparent yesterday in the discussion, when Heyburn of Idaho asked ques tions which brought from Carter the assertion that the postal savings banks were not designed for depositors who desired to check Rgainst their funds day by day; that such would be expected to continue to patroniae the ordinary banks. ' When Carter, who Is not far from the . ronfldence of the governing powers of the seate, made this declaration it caused the comment that such a con ception was utterly at variance with campaign promises, which were for the safeguarding of all who doslred it for currently used bank deposits. RELATES STORY OF AEON'S WRECK Child Born on Christmas Island Was With Dif ficulty Saved OTnHea P.-ass teased Wlre.l San Francisco. Deo, 16. Miss Sadie Campbell, a trained nurse who accom- S anted Mrs. Patrick, wife of Chaplain :. K. Patrick, United States navy, on thn Ill-fated Aeon on its voyage 'which ' ended in a wreck and 70 days of pri vation on Christmas island last July, li In this cltv today, havlna just re turned, from her memorable journey, with her oiwre brown hair turned snowy white as a result of the terrors and hardships of that disaster. Miss Campbell tells a remarkable story of th birth of a litMe baby girl ; on the barren island, where the casta ways existed miserably for over two months. Mrs. Patrick, the mother, was Miss Campbell's patient, and she was in an extremely delicate condition when the shiD struck the reef on Chrlxtmma , island, which brought their voyage to an end. The passengers in the vessel were cared for as well as the limited conveniences saved from the wreck would permit. The chief anxiety was for Mrs. Patrick, and through the faith- fulness of her nurse she braved the ordeal and gave birth to little Jane Patrick Just two days before the mir- ' vlvors of the wreck were rescued from ; their island home. Miss Campbell told a thrilling storv of the efforts of the crew of the Aeon to attract assistance. Bonfires of care fully gathered wood were lit as beacons to possible passing ships, and several unlucky expeditions were sent out to reach Fanning island and bring help yPtv!
