rani MIME FOR TIME BEING "Canned Speech" May Re main "Canned" Until Desks Are Clear Will Probably . Be Put Out in Cold. (Sperful DIiptdito The Jourml.i 'Falem, Or.. Feb.. 3. By common con vent, owing to the rush or otner. Dust iness, the senate yesterday afternoon poptponed Its discussion of Senator Dan Kallaher and his "canned" speech on the Oregon system which had been -made special order. The senate decided It had betUr work than play, and the Kellaher dynamlt was placed on the table. It may b removed rom this uncer tain position at any time by a motion SrlCKeu up By & nmjvjuij v. fcuw ww..... but seems likely to remain where It Is for several days while the belliger nts are whetting their knives to a keen dga. Monday the senate will be rushed with business and many of the mem bers are opposed to "starting things" until the desks are fairly clear. Meanwhile Kellaher is saying little, but Is standing pat. "Let 'era come" is nil aiuiuae. rtm expects iu nmi foes at the gates and return thrust for thrust, it seems likely that when the senate has It out the 8000 word speeoh WVii'h c.nntnr VellnJinr sliDDed Into the record will be formally expunged and put out In the cold.' , Some of the: other crowd are propos ing in addition a resolution of censure for impugning the motives of fellow senators. That would mean a bitter and prolonged fight which many regard as Inappropriate at this stage of the ses sion when It la apparent that long night sessions will be neoessary the last two -weeks of the session to keep with the business. The main object will be accomplished when the senators Indicted by Kellaher as corporation tools have had opportun ity to free their minds about him. While previous debates on the Oregon system have delved into the cobwebs of past corruption and caused pointed person alities, these will be as thin air It is expected compared to sulphur when the guns are unllmbered for the Kellaher debate. - TJnmuszled dogs are killed In Wallowa county towns to prevent any possible ftpread of rabies as a result of being bitten- by coyotes in the extreme north western part of the county. AT number of canines have already been slain as a safeguard against them biting anything else. This report was brought to Portland by R.'H. Jones, publisher of the Wallowa Bun who Is In the cltjr for a few days on easiness. Mr. Jones slso brings the news that the coyote scare Is not as serious as some reports would Indicate. - "No doubt the coyotes are dangerous, and they have killed ' some sheep and cattle," said Mr. Jones, "but the number Is small compared with the size of the herds. However, it will be a great good for the country to get rid of the brutes that make night hideous by their howl ing and leave the lone settler In fear of wing aiiacaea oy an animal gone mad. "The forest service has 12 expert marksmen In the field exterminating the pest and the stockmen are doing all they can In aiding them. Each dead coyote Is worth about $7 because while the county pays a S3 bounty, the State Woolgrow ers' association pays $l.fo and the hide tells for about $2.60. How many have been shot or trapped during the win ter will not be known until March when the scalps will be turned over to the County for the bounty." CM PROTECTED (Continued from Page One.)

City Health Officer Wheeler and other olty Officials are now confident that the new crematory will never fulfill the require? tnents demanded of It , . When asked what action the health board would take If the two weeks' test on which the contracting company en tered yesterday proves unsuccessful, the mayor would not say, further than re peat that the bonding company would be notified. It is believed that the new plant will have to be remodeled. The city has the right to do this remodeling $f necessary. City Auditor Barbur yesterday ordered the workmen employed regularly by the city at the new plant to be paid Tor their labor during January. He refused to audit all other bills Incurred by the operation of the plant He has asked City Attorney Grant to submit an opin ion relative to he legality of claims that have been made for the month of January and which have not been ap proved by the auditor befause of the fact that the cost of burning garbage during the month was more than double the coBt guaranteed by the contractor. The City attorney said today that he would not be able to give out this opin ion for some time, owing to the great amount of work he has on his hands already. J1EK EBRA CUT .Washington, Feb, J.

OPIE READ SEES IN OREGON MISTS A RACE OF POETS Big Man Literally, Also Lit eraturely Ought .Himself to Live in This Dark Land of Inspiration. Ople Read 'sees In the north Paclflo coast country the hope of America so far as poets and poetry are con cerned. The author of "A Kentucky Colonel" and "The Carpetbagger" ar rived this morning from his home in Chicago -and will leave this afternoon for the south, where he is bound for a lector tour. Mr Read is about as big s man as one is apt to see In the course of a morning's stroll. He pat before the fire in the Hotel Portland lobby this morning reading his paper, and loomed above all the other men about him. When he stood up his size was still more noticeable. In Chicago, where he lives, and in every other place where he has visited and gathered a few congenial souls about him, he is known as on CI the best story tellers there Is in the world today. It is because of the Oregon fogs and mists that Read believes the north coast country holds the hope of Amert- can poetry in its lap. Poetry Is found in a land where it Is foggy and cloudy and rainy In a country where people sit indoors a part of the time and think. Now, there Is no poetry In a land where you can get on a hilltop and see the landscape lor scores of miles in a brilliant light There can be no delusion, no imagina tion about it But where the view melts Into a mist, where the tops of the trees merge Into a cloud, you will find the imagination that Induces the writing of poetry. It has been true the world over. The English have produced great poets. The Germans could not write poetry, so they sang great songs. The Frenoh could do neither, so they have become the great Conversationalists of the world. "The" thing that makes, it hardest for Americans to become a race of poets is the fact that we, as a nation,' were born civilized. We havn't any myths. We are historically accurate from Ply mouth Rock to Uncle Jo Cannon." Mr. Road is working on a new book a story of Chicago life that he says he thinks will show the atmosphere of Chl-J Cago. He Intends no Joke by that he thinks It will conyy the life nnd in spiration of the Windy City. Every city has its peculiar characteristics, he says for instance he believes you can do one-third more work In Chicago than you can in St Louis. Tou could never write poetry in sunny Denver that would amount to much but it will be written out in this particular nook of the woods. luere is one other thing that Opie Read feels keenly about Portland and that 13 the "murder" of the trees. "I know it's necessary to have lum ber," he said, "but I hate to see these splendid trees killed to make It. To me it is a crime. Some day they will have a substitute for lumber, but that day the trees will be gone. And people will say, 'Why didn't we let our trees live and use this stuff before T But then, of course, it will be too late." HER BE TAFT 10 FREE HI (United Preas Leased Wire.) Denver, Feb. 3.

BY RAILWAY POSTAL CLERKS DENOUNCE1 THE DEPARTMENT Association Member Calls the Officials at Washington la Lot of Boneheads Griev ances Are Pigeon Holed.; "They are a lot of boneheads in the postofflce department at Washington, and they do not know what they are doing. It is not tho conservative ele ment n the Railway Mail association that has caused th present conditions, but the department Itself." . With, this attack, Oliver De Horty, a member of the Railway Mail association of clerks, expressed his sentiments at a meeting of railway mall clerks held this afternoon In the postofflce build ing. John C. Myers charged directly that the conservative clement was re sponsible for the existing conditions and strongly urged 'that radical steps be taken at once to bring the grievances of the association before th postofflce department at Washington. Alleged abuses of the railway mall clerks by the postofflce department were aired In the meeting. One was that rules prevent a railway mall cleric from approaching a congressman and telltnr him of his rrievances. but he la compelled to report to the superintend ent and the clerk thereby feels that any alleged abuse is thus pigeonholed, as it falls to reach th fountain head the government. Long hours and little time allowed for rest, were also attacked. It was argued that the clerk is compelled to work a straight eight hours while' on the road and thon is compelled to study and prepare his slips at home after he has finished his run, allowing little much-needed recreation. Economy, to 'the detriment of the clerks, was also named as one of the grievances which the clerks wish cor rected. The clerks express a lack of confi dence In the present officials of the association und urge that some action De tasen mat tneir wrongs be righted. A lively discussion .arose ever the methods employed by George A. Wood editor of the "Railway Postofflce," the official paper which is published at Portsmouth, N. H. By a rising vote of 14 to 2 It was decided to discontinue the paper for the reason that it did not express the true sentiment of the railway postal clerks. Wood was open ly charged with being a tool of tho government in that tne articles which he published did not take the side of the clerks nor did the columns of the paper set forth the true conditions un der which the clerks are laboring. An drew B. Kidder, president of the as sociation, acted as chairman. Sixteen members were present. Delegates to the thirteenth annual convention of Railway Mail Clerks, to be held at Portland, March 24-26, were nominated, to be elected March 10. The nominations wre: Clerks Armstrong, Hufford, Hobson, Crosby, Sheppe Twohe, Campbell, Cole, Smith, Maxfield Snow and J. Zehrung.. One of the. Charges Against Evelyn Arthur See Seems Without Foundation. (United Preu Leaned Wire.) Chicago, Feb. 8. Federal officials who expected to bring Evelyn Arthur See, founder df the "Absolute Life" cult, to trial on charges of bringing Hazel Banner to Chicago for immoral purposes are all at sea as to whether such a per son as Miss Danner ever existed. A house to house search of La Fayette, Ind., has failed to reveal anyone by names Hazel Danner or Gsorge E. Dan ner, whom Attorney John F. Rosen said h represented when he filed suit for $100,000 against Bee. The only Danner located in La Fayette was a Captain Danner, who declares that he has never heard of George E. Danner; that he has no brother by tnat name, and that if a girl named Hazel Danner ever lived In La Fayette he never heard of her. See swears he never heard of Hazel Danner, and children rescued at Seo's "commonwealth" claim she never lived there. The government officials admit they are completely at a loss. EASTMAN ARISES TO DRESS, FINDS NEARLY ALL CLOTHES STOLEN 4 C A.

HAZEL BANNER IS MOT TO BE FOUND JUAREZ In PANIC , ; AWS ATTACK OF REBEL FORCE General Advance of Orozco's insurrcctos Expected at N i ghtf all Reports Forecast Revolutionary Victory. (Tjnlted Prei Leased wlre.V El Paso, Texas, Feb. 8. Momentarily expecting an attack from tho revolu tionist army under General . Pasqual Orozco, which Invests it on the south, Ciudud Juarez, across . the Rio Grande trom El Pasol ihle afternoon Is on th verge of panic, 't he shutters of nearly all the houses are closed, business Is suspended, the streets - are filled with refugees and over th bouse of every American resident who has not . fled, the Stars and Stripes float as a measure of " protection In the assault that may oom at any hour. That th attaok will certainly oom on Juares before sundown Is the belief of Abraham Gonzales, provisional lnsur recto governor of the state of Chihuahua, who from his headquarters here, Is be lieved to be In communication with Orosco by means of relays of couriers. Gonzales says Juarez will fall within 24 hours after the attack of Orosco Is delivered. Failure of the revolutionary ohlef, however, to get warning of his attaok to the foreign consuls of Juares may possibly postpone the assault for a few hours. Orozco's first messenger, under a flag of truce, was captured by the federals and his warnings never reached their destination. His desire to Comply with all the forms of international courtesy may. It is believed. Induce Orozco5 to refrain Trom his attack, until he van be sure all the consuls hav been notified. Orosco's Plans Wot Xsows. Just what disposition ,r Orosco has made of his forces Is not yet known In Juarez. Over the country to the south, where he is operating, a dens haze lies today, effectually masking any movements he may have mad a At last positive reports the .main body of his force was still near Samalayuca, but probability Is lent to the theory that other forces of Insurrcctos are near the city, by the capture today of three ln surrecto cavalrymen by the Twenty third United States infantry, while they were scouting at Elizaro, 20 miles down the border line. Fears of the federals that the rebels may also be advancing to the siege of Juarez from Sonora are also evident. A detachment of federal cavajry is en camped west of the city, apparently to contest the passage of any revolution ists from that province who' might swing around tho Sierra Madera moun tains In the effort to deliver a flank at tack. Latest advices from the south re ceived by the Mexican federals in Juarez were that reinforcements of several hundred mounted men had come up from southern Chihuahua and had joined Orosco's force near Samalayuca. Attempts to Seller J a res. Realizing the danger to the federal cause if Orozoo. take Juares, desperate attempts are being made by the Dlas government to get men to its relief. One such attempt failed today. Gen eral Rabigo trlod to get through the lnsurrecto lines with about 250 men from Casas Grandes, but is reported to have been, driven back after a hot skir mish with the rebels. Another federal forco from Sondra Is reported to have been met and defeated by the rebels west -of the Sierra Madera Realizing that a serious clash is due at Juares within a few hours, the United States government today ordered a company of troops from Fort Sam Houston here to assist the Fort Bliss troops now on duty in patrolling: the border to enforce neu trality. The Texas rangers and the na tional guard of the state also will be pressed Into service to aid in case they are rouna necessary, To render first aid to the wounded in the expected battle, Red Cross compa nies are being organized here, and the El Paso hospitals have prepared to care for the wounded of both sides. Can Tsk Juarez at Flessnr. That General Orozco can take Juares at his pleasure Is asserted here today. In the besieged Mexican town there are only sbout $00 federal troops, and som of them are believed to be none too loyal. About 200 federal troops at Casas Grandes are reported to be try ing to make a Junction with the forces hre. On the other hand, Orozco Is reported to have nearly 1000 men outside Juarez, and reinforcements of 400 men are re ported to be on the way to Join him, after a campaign in the interior of Chi huahua. It is believed her this afternoon that Orozco will' make a definite move of some kind before night. With the rail road andt the telegraph lines to the south in his hands he is undoubtedly in com-, mand of the situation, but there Is also no doubt that every hour that passes will be to tho advantage of the federals, who, by forced marches, may be able to harass the rebel rear unless all means of communication along the line 'of th Mexican Central railway has been cut tit by the revolutionists. Tho expectation this afternoon la that Orozco, If his demand to, surrender is refused, will lead an assault on Juarez about sundown. OROZCO DESCRIBED AT A SAFE DISTANCE (United Prei Leutd Wire.) New York, Feb. $.
