Urging this speedy consideration of the plans hundreds of telegrams were sent to the Oregon senators by Portland business men. The keen Interest of Senator Bourne In securing approval of the plans was evidenced by his reported efforts and numerous telegrams with which he kept local people fully Informed as to the progress of the consideration. A telegram announcing: the approval came from Senator Bourne to Judge Munly yesterday as speedily as the news dispatches carried the same mes sage.

' Washington, March 24. The regulars and Insurgents today officially ratified the nominees of the Republican caucus for the rules committee, but each side is prepared to throw bricks If the other side makes any hostile move. The Insurgents declare they made no effort to get places on the committee, because they wanted harmony and feared any move on their part would mean a fight. The regulars declare they are seeking harmony and they be lieve the Republican party will get to gether and stay together, at least until after the fall elections. There may bo more wrangling, how ever. Representative Butler thinks there Is at least one scrap still to come. Butler is a staunch regular. "I predict we will have Just one more ruction this session," declared Butler, In an Interview today. "We have not yet got quIteftH the 'bile' out of our system. As soon as we do, I predict "the Republicans of the entire country will get together in harmony until after the fall elections." Representative Norrls of Nebraska, who started the rules committee fight, declared the Insurgents were for peace. "We are willing to have peace, perma nent peace, in the house," ho said. "That Is the reason we did not attempt to secure places ori thd rules commit tee. "If the new committee proves to be the tool of the speaker, the battle will have to be fought all over again. I do not believe the committee will be foolish enough to Invoke another storm." 'Tonight the Democrats will caucus to select the minority members of the com mittee. Whether the Democrats will refer to the Republican caucus and try to force Insurgent representation on the majority is not Indicated today. It is believed, however, that the Democrats will not attempt to meddle with the RepMbllcan fight Norrls, the leader of the Insurgents in the rules fight, promptly withdrew when his name was presented at the Republican caucus. It is believed the other insurgents will follow his exam ple, and should the minority endeavor to force the majority to accept insur gents on the committee the insurgents would refuse to serve. Much "harmony" talk has grown out of the caucus last night. That no fight was made on the nomination of the two Republican members of the former com mittee, Dalzcll and Smith of Iowa, is considered evidence by the regulars that the insurgents are willing to Join in a harmony move.

The bullet from the gun entered the girl's right breast, tore away one lung and shattered her breast bone and collar bone. The chjldren .were alone last evening, and the sight of the rifle suggested to the little girl that they 'play "soldier." The rifle, which belonged to an elder brother, was seized by the boy. and the girl suggested that he shoot at her. Joseph looked down the barrel of the gun and pronounced It empty. He leveled It at his sister and pulled the trigger. The screams of the children summoned neighbors, and doc tors were hastily brought In. After an all-night exploration the surgeons, Drs.

March 24. The sentenc ing of President Goinpers, Vice Presi dent Mitchell and Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor to Jail for contempt or court may be used as a precedent by the government in the action against members of the alleged meat trust. The big packers nnnted individually In the bill that seeks the dissolution of the National Packing company may be cited for contempt for violating an In junction Issued by Federal Judge Peter S. Grosscup, and prohibiting thorn from operating In a combination. Tho government In Its bill against the National company alleges that this Injunction has been violated. If the contention Is proved it Is intimated by federal attorneys here that the packers named will he cited for contempt, and that the Gnmpers case will be used as a precedent for the imposition of Jail sen tences. The federal attorneys must first prove that the National company Is u com bination in restraint of trade, before ' they can procure the citation of the packers. It is believed that the federal officials will seek tho- punishment of the packers through the contempt pro ceedings, provided a combination Is proved, rather than through direct prosecution. The men affected by the Grosscup In junction and also named in the bill to dissolve the National are Edward Mor ris, J. Ogden Armour.

R. Hickson, who held all but two of the shares of the capital stock of the) Board of Trade corporation, and Ralph. V. Wilbur, who held one flf the other shares and was a director, secretary and treasurer, attorney for the corpora tion and attorney for Moore, were th witnesses from whom the interesting story of the erection of the Board of Trade building was wrung. Prt of story Not all of the story was told., fop Wilbur claimed the privilege of an at torney as existing between himself nd Moore and declined to reveal his rela tions with Moore. Although stock holder, secretary and treasurer, attor ney for the corporation, and claiming ta be Its active head, Judge Bronaugh sus- . tallied the strenuous objections of the defense to any disclosure of his rela tions with Moore, Wilbur saying he could not segregate what he did for Moore ss attorney from what he did as an officer of the corporation. Tills led to a spirited and at times amusing duel between Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald and Wilbur, during the course of which Fitzgerald Inti mated that Wilbur would say anything C. W. Fulton, chief counsel for Moore, . suggested for him to say. Wilbur re sented this, and the court mildly re buked the prosecutor for his attack on the witness. Issued Checks Upon Bank. , Despite, his ability to hold back much that the state was trying to bring out under his claim of privilege, Wilbur was at times driven into close quarters. He was forced to admit that he as sec retary and treasurer of the Board of Trade building company issued checks upon the Oregon Trust to pay for the work of construction, acting at; all times under the directions of Moore or Morris, neither of whom was an officer or stockholder in the corporation. One of the Jurors asked how he could recoh clle this state of affairs, and Wilbur said he could only do so by reciting the history of the corporation. Wilbur said he received his instruc tions indiscriminately from Moore of Morris, sometimes from one and some times from the other. He acted for Morris Just as he did for Moore, he said. Then Fitzgerald asked if he were also attorney for "Morris. Wilbur said he did not know. Tho prosecutor repeated this question from different angles several times. (Continued on Page Nineteen.)
