ALDRiCH GETS TIGHTER GRIP Speed Gained as Insurgents Fall by the Wayside, Pla cated Prophesied Battles Fail to Materializes Rate Changes. (Brant Nu-i br Lmgpst Wire.) Washington, May 15. What congress did today: In the senate Senator Gore of Okla homa introduced a resolution to have the ftnrnce committee determine wheth er tho re'allers were responsible for high prices. A warm debate followed and the resolution went over. Senator J hnston of Alabama attacked Ue tariff bill. v The ser.aie has decided to begin the dally sessions at 10 o'clock from Mon day, in the hope of expediting the con sideration of the tariff matter. There was no session of the house today. Washlr.g'on. May 16. More progress was niHLie today In the senate on the tarlfT bill than during any other one day since the house bill was reported. Strangely enough, the paragraph relat ing to steel rails was passed without a murmur from either side, whereas most persons in Washington had Imag ined the fight of all the fights would be made when that schedule was reached. Barbed wire was cut almost ir. twain. This cut Is said to have been he inducement that brought Burkett of Ncbrrska over to the regulars. Nebras ka uses as much barbed wire as any state with the exception of Texas. Bur kett ha the fight of his Mfe on hand to secure a reelection. To have barbed wiro ico.uced 'n cost will furnish him n excellent carr.paign document He hur It. And now he has quit the revo lutionists. Other Worlds to Conquer. Nor Is Mr. Aldrich through with other rebels. One by one he Is placat ing them. He expects to land Borah the latter part of next week. ( Sneet Iron and Its kindred articles was passed as the committee recommended. So were steel ingots, blooms, mill shaft ing and the like. Jointed iron and steel tubes and wire gauge carry a duty of 1 cent per pound. Mr. Aldrlch an nounced tha-t there had been but one or two Increases over the Dingley bill, while there were many revisions or reductions. "For which even wn Democrats are thankful." answered Bailey. 1 To Discourage "Whiskers. When the schedule on knives and razors was reached Simmons of North Carolina objected strenuously to the schedule. He wanted the tariff on raeors reduced. They cost too much. Whiskers were growing on many faces that, were rar-ors but cheaper, would be swept out into the yard. "This bill," suggested Smith of Michigan, "is intended to raise a tax. Jf will help the treasury." j,"But we want more razors, and bet ter ones," urged Simmons. . Smith blandly asked whether the razors were for domestic or social pur poses. "In my part of the country," said Simmons, "a certain part of the pop ulation uses them largely for soolal purposes." "Yes. It Is the Republican rart of the population." contributed Senator Ualley of Texas. It was explained that the Dingley law had reduced the Wilson tariff rates on razors and that as a result nearly all the makers of the useful blades in this country were driven out of busi ness. Aldrlch stared that the higher rates were placed in the bill to revive tt-fmTustry. A provision placed In the schedule provides that the name of the maker or the purchaser and of the country of origin must, when practicable, be stamped on every blade of Imported cutlery. It will probably be made" to take effect January 1. Investigation of Retailers. Senator Flint again referred today to the alleged fact that there was a com bination existing between the depart ment stores of the country by which prices were arbitrarily fixed and the consumer made to suffer.

"That is not necessary," replied Sen ator Hale. "The senate has the power to look Into such matters without the necessity of a resolution so directing It " "Of course my resolution will be bur led in the committee to which it goes. In that tomb this inscription might well be written upon the door: "Herein lies, and lies forever." Truly enough the com mittee has the power ascribed to it by the senator from Maine. But a power unus.'d Js no power at all." Then Mr. Hale accused the Democrats of having raised up a man of straw In order to knock it down. Nobody was responsible for using the words "con spiracy" and "robbery" in connection with (lie prices charged by the retailers t'l t"bbers. he held, except the senators on the other slu of the senate.

Dear Sir: When we wrote to you through our secretary, on April 21, Inviting you to name a hos tess for your county and tendering the services of the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs to assist your nostess In making the social features in the Oregon building at Seattle a credit to the countv and state, we did so by di rection of Messrs. Wehrung. Rowe and Wisdom of the A.-Y.-P. commission fori Oregon, our organization having then ac cepted the appointment by the commis sion to conduct the social affairs In the Oregon building. "Since that time these gentlemen have fieen fit to Impose conditions that will oblige the federated clubs, through its dnlv authorized officers and commit tee, to decline to have any connection ; whatever with the social affairs at be attle. i "Regretting that the social affairs for Oregon and Seattle have been aban doned, and hoping we have put you to no unnecessary work, we remain, very truly yours." j Wehrung' Gives Reason. "On mv return from Seattle." said Mr. Wehrung, "I found a letter from Mrs. Kvans, president of the Federa tion of Women's clubs, declining to have anything further to do with nam ing the hostess. The commission has accepted the declination and has already formulated a plan for having represent ative women from various parts of the state named as hostesses. I have ad dressed letters to the county courts i.f every county In the state and to tha j Commercial organizations In each city and town, requesting that hostesses bo named for county and city days at the .

"This, we were ad-! vised by the attorney general, we could j not do." I'resident Wehrung said that June 1!) and 2Ci had been selected As dedica tion days and July 3 as Oregon day. For each of these occasions representa tive tv. unen . f rem the larger cities of the sttate will be asked by the commis sion tp act as hostesses.

The special session of Judge Camp bell's court was In the nature of an argument on a demurrer filed by Xho Heylman faction against the granting of Johnson's application for a writ of review of their actions. Judge Alex. Kweek and Judge Martin L. Pipes of Portland represented the Reed faction: Judge Joseph K. Hedges and E. W. Barl lett the Heylman faction. The principal argument In rebuttal was presjnted by Judge Pipes, who took the po'tit 1 that the council of Entucda had no riht to impeach or remove fiom office iny city officers, since all city officers, mayor, council, recorder and others, hold office by virtue of the author ity vested in them by the state. Judge Hedges for Mayor Heylman and the council, took the position that accord ing to the city charter, no provision had been made for the election of a re carder; that consequently, lathe eyes of the law, there was In fact no recorder. Sure enough, the charter of Estacada, In keeping with the general Inconsisten cy of that municipality, made no pro vision for the election of a recorder, but there was no poverty of words In the description of his dutlea and the re strictions of his emoluments. Conse quently, Judge Campbell held that, as a matter of fact, there was and la a re corder, and that his election is a regu lar thing, no matter what the over sights of the charter. Court Decides Promptly. No one present at the hearing be lieved that Judge Campbell would ren der an Immediate decision. A list of authorities was handed him aa a guide to his meditations when he took the case under advisement. But Judge Campbell threw the list aside and an nounced that he would decide the whole Issue before the parties adjourned for the day. "I Ihlnk that the mayor and jo'incU of Estacada, or any other municipality in the wate of Oregon, have no more riglr. to impeach a fellow .fficer, name ly the recorder, A. N. Johnson, man I would have to Impeach the clerk of this court, after preferring charges against hint myself." said Judge Camn. I bell. The declspjj-Jiet. a precedent in cases of thta kind in Oregon. While the momentous issue of the Illegality of Johnson's deposition was being settled by Judge Campbell. John son himself, together with tha factional candidate for mayor, J. W. Rtcd. was leading the election fight in Estacada. At 5 o'clock yesterday evening about half of the vote In the town had beeu cast Not a ' single vote for Heylman and his council had been cast Even the election was conducted In a way peculiar'-to Estacada Uefore go ing to Oregon City to support nls attor neys In the argument of the demurrer against the application of Johnson, Heylman is alleged to have looked up the books containing the election regu lations of the city. Consequently the election officers of the day were put to It to decide so as to be within the law, when to begin registering the vote and when to stop. It was finally agreed that 8 o'clock In the morning was a rood and convenient time to begin, and hat 7 o'clock tn the evening would be a good and convenient time to atop. By prolonging the voting until 7 o'clock they were enabled to catch the votes of such men as had gone to work before the poll was opened. Only Oae Toting Plaoe. . Thar was but one voting place, and .. . ' . ' - here election officers friendly to Reed sat all day registering the will of the people. It was Impossible to get any of the friends of Heylman to act aa election officers, even with the promise of pay, for Heylman has declared that In any event he will contest tbe elec tion. As a mark of consideration the names of Mayor Heylman and his council were put on me naaiot.- rms gave evciy city's Indebtedness by their, refusal to provide for and pay the interest on audi bonds.

Nearly every clause of the reasons voter the opportunity of voting for the assigned for a recall election contains present administration tf he so desired, reference to the city's bonded indebte l- Mayor Heylman and his council had not asked to be considered as candidates for the offices which they claim to hold without considering the election, but 11 was thought only courteous, according to tho statement of one of the election officers, to put them on anyway. Give Keaaons for Beoail. Tha following reasona were assigned as causes for the recall of Mayor Heyl man and his council: "First They have conducted and managed the business affairs of the city in an unsatisfactory, manner, di verting the different city funds and applying them unlawfully to the pay ment or certain debts not in the class for which said fund was created. 'Second-They have repudiated tha ness of $10,000, the bonds being held by Morris Brothers of Portland. Mayor Heylman and his council refused (o pass an order defraying the Interest on the bonds and the holders are about ready to cue for the amount which is already overdue. One of the promises of the new candidates for office was that they would Immediately give such' attention to the bond Issue that not only the interest but part of the prln. clpal would be paid.
