THE OREGON . DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY EVENING AUGUST 'i 0. 1911 7- COIMSCHEDULE ' V. 6L0CKEDNATE; DWBflWEBE -House Bill for Revision Re oarded Unfavorably by the f Committee on Finance in Upper Branch. PIONEER REALTY DEALER IS DEAD Lewis Russell Passes Away From Attack of Heart Failure. AD CLUB TO TRY PERKINS DOES IT COMMISSION PLAN HAVE TO TELL HOW (T'nltrd Prett Iim1 Wlro.) .Washington, Aug. 9. Propect of fa j.'vorable action In the senate on the j house bill for the revlcion of the cotton tariff schedule was practically blocked today when the senate committee on - 't finance voted to report adversely on the measure. The action came after a vote in the senate last week directed the committee to make a report on the cot ; ton-bill before the end of the present i session. I The cotton revision bill was fathered, by Oscar Underwood, chairman of the house ways and means committee. It -. was passed by the house some days .. ago. When it went to the senate oppo , Sltion sprang up among the Democrats , or the southern states and leaders of the ;- senate discussed the advisability of fur ' ther tariff legislation at this session. - With the wool tariff bill and the '. farmers' free list now in conference, and ' with the necessity of having the strong l est possible coalition of Democrats and Republican progressives, in ' order to ' pass these measures over a probable veto, many of the senate leaders thought it would be unwise to bring up a bill which might cause dissension in the i ranks of the Democratic senators. The matter came betjre the senate last week, however, when a motion directing the , senate finance committee to report on ' . the bill wasocarried, receiving the sup- . port or a large portion of the progres give Republicans. , The vote of the committee today, ; while a blow to the bill, does not finally dispose of the matter. The report of the finance committee will be submitted to the senate tomor- row. Senator Williams of Mississippi -) made the motion to submit the cotton I bill with a favorable report. It was de ; feated, 8 to 6, on a party division. Sen ator Smoot's motion for an adverse re i port waa carried without a vote. I Y I if tjfeiZ $11 K-ffC' J Jl I I .

'On June 20, 1911, I Interviewed a Miss Irene Carter, who resided at tho Sherman hotel, 123 Twelfth street, Portland, Or. She stated that owing to the fact that she had to pay protec tion money to Officer Carpenter, It was almost Impossible for her to make a living In Portland. I asked her why she paid money to Carpenter and she said that at one time Carpenter made date with her on the street, she not knowing that he was a deteotlve, and went to her room and as she was out for the money she asked him for $3 and he threatened to send her to the police station and that she gave him 126 tn keep from going to the station. She id that she guessed It would have been cheaper to have gone to the sta tion, but that she dd not want to be arrested, for it would injure her busi ness in the future. 'She also stated that she had a friend and chum in the Elwood room- house at 843 A Morrison street, Portland, who went by the name of Buella Mayer and this girl told her that Officer Carpenter came to see her often that she had been paying money him for a long time and that she gave him some times as high a 850 a time.
