said Mrs. Frederick Bggert, prominent
worker in, the Portland Woman's olub,
."but I do not believe tha I could do so,
nor that any other woman could do so
and live respectably on very much less.
The problem, of living at a minimum ex

trouble Is that that Institution, where
expenses are cut down to IS or $4 a

fortunate enough to get In a good family

The complaint further asks that

any kind over the stock or property of
the Independents. Should the court ba
of the opinion that public Interest
would be better served . the complaint
asks that a receiver be appointed for
these properties. The complaint charges

LAWYER'S ASSERTION
Attorney Declares That Feder

That the fees Imposed by the federal
court of the district of Oregon, along
with other districts of the Pacific coast
are far in excess of what they should
be,' regardless of the cost of maintain
ing the courts and the court' clerks' of
fices la the declaration of .Thomas 3.
Greene, a member of the bar asaocia-
tlon'a committee investigating the mat
ter of court coss.
; Declaring that many persons who'
have legitimate wrongs let them bo un-
righted rather than Incur the exorbi
tant court feea. Mr. Greene declared to
day that some system must be worked
out to reduce them,
'If organised government cannot
maintain Its courts without Hiirh heavv
drains upon the resources of the peo
ple who have disputes to settle, we'd
Deiier not nave any courts and settle
out grievances In the old faHhloncd,
personal way.
Joseph N. Teal, chairman of the bar
committee, said the committee is work
ing-on the fee question and will make
some kind of a report to tho State Bar
association when- It meets probably In

"There is so much fo consider in this
matter that we are going slowly." said
Mr. Teal, "but we expect to make some
sort of recommendation. There Is no
question but that the fees are too high.

Washington, July 24. There was a
spirited clash In the aenate lobby' In
vestigating committee hearing this af
ternoon between Witness Mulhall, who
was testifying and Senator Cummins of
Iowa It came after a letter was read
in which Mulhall declared he had con
ferred with (Jummlns over a speech
Senator Kenyon made on the eight-hour
law.
That's a lie, and you know It,'.'
shouted Senator Cummins. ,
Mulhall Insisted that every word In
the letter was true, angrily shouting
that he was tired of hearing denials of
the truth of his letters.
"It makes no difference to me wheth
er you are tired or not," was Cummins'
come-back. "You do not tell the truth'."
Never saw Knlball Before.
Turning to the members of the com
mittee, Cummins added:
"I never met this man Mulhall before,
he appeared here. : I never Invited him
to come to Senator Dolliver's room for
a conference. I couldn't have, because
Dolllver did not have a private office."
The trouble was caused by a long
report which Mulhall Is alleged to have
written James Kirby, president of the
N. A. M . on May 26, 1910. It said Mul
hall had called on Senator Cummins
who was most angry because former
Speaker Cannon had been the principal
speaker at a N. A. M. banquet held In
New York. Mulhall said he calmed
Cummins by saying he (Cummins) prob
ably would be Invited to the next ban
quet.
Cummins denied the allegations In the
report and Mulhall tried to refresh his
memory. '
"There is no need for you to try to
refresh my memory," shouted Cummins.
"The events' you recite never happened."
