street,' opened fire and dashed
away, tearing eight men lying
wounded oil the street,
First reports indicated that the
fray plight be part of a labor war,
but upon' investigation' the police
decided' the shooting occurred In
connection with a bootleggers'
feud and that the woundedmost
of them sailors had been drop
ped when they attempted to stop
the car fleeing from an "attempted
murder on Second Avenue, Just
around the corner.
: Gunmen's Car Lost
, Commandeering several auto
mobiles, the police gave mad pur
suit up the east side, but lost the
gunmen' car in the traffic at
Thirty-fourth street and Third

The crowd drew back for a mo

to dash through and away.
Into Third avenue turned-the

automobiles. Among the pursu

been seated in a car at Second

they heard the-shots.

""We found at Huntington, West

f Hope Vanishes.
CLEVELAND, Aug 8. (By
Associated Press.) Expectations
of a settlement of the coal strike
on a national scale vanished to
night among the union officials
and operators here for adjoint con
ference on peace plans with the
receipts of reports of the failure
of Indiana and Illinois operators
associations to agree to Join the
conference. .
-" The hope however, was held out
that .the settlement affecting Scat
tering mine operators In Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania and pos
sibly West Virginia, might result
from the conference, -which recon
venes here tomorrow afternoon. . .
Decision ; Deferred
President John L. Lewis the
miners announced that the joint
conference would" reassemble to
reopen negotiations. The ques
tion however, of whether the mini
ers wonld be' willing to make, a
wage agreement with the opera
tors now here was undecided, and
indications were that .a decision
would be deferred until, after the
afternoon meeting tomorrow with
the operators, most of whom own
mines In Ohio. A few operators,
also are here from Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Illinois.

SPOKANE, Aug. 8. Whether
a mother can recognize a child
she has not seen for 16 years,
may be tested out tomorrow at
Soap lake when Cecil - Lenighen,

Brittan Who was kidnapped near
Walla Walla in 1906, goes there
to see Mrs. P. L. Brittan, the wo
man whose child disappeared.
If the young man, now 21 years

telephone. The trip will be made
tn the automobile ot Albert B.
Bergen .of Spokane, a relative of
the Brittain family.
Attention was directed to Leni

ate of a detective correspondence
school. Lenighen himself re

couple named Lenigben, who gave
him their name. Lenighen match-'

physical characteristics, however.
The kidnaping, July 4, 190C,
attracted" wide attention, and
clews were followed to many parte
of the country. Mr. Brittan died

Raise of Three-Tenths Cent
Per Pound Approved in
Senate Yesterday
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. The
senate today approved an Increase
of three-tenths of a cent ajpound
in the tariff on sugar; rejected a
plan for a government' bounty of
-19,0.000 for - 'domestic potash
producers, and rescinded Us for
mer action In voting an impost of
2 'cents a pound on, white arsenic.
Potash and white arsenic were
placed on the free list.
The sugar rate of 2.3 cents a
pound was a compromise between
the 2.5 cents duty urged by the
Louisiana cane and western beet
sugar producers, and the 2 cents
proposed by the house and ap
proved by the finance committee
majority. It is three-tenths of a
cent above the tariff in the ex
isting emergency act and 1.03
cents above that in the Under
wood act.
Smoot Offers Compromise
The compromise was offered by
Senator Smoot of Utah, ranking
Republican on the finance com
mittee, and was accepted by the
same vote as that by which the
senate rejected the 2.5 cents duty,
37 to 35. The vote on the Smoot
amendment was as follows:
For the amendment:
Republicans Ball, Brandegee,
Bursum, Cameron, Capper, Cur
tis, Dillingham, Ernst, Gooding,
Harold, Jones of Washington,
Ladd, McKinley, McLean, McNary,
Moses, Nelson, New, Nicholson,
Norbeck, Oddie, Phipps, Rawson,
Shortridge, Smoot, Spencer, Stan

ana, and Willis, 33.
Democrats Broussard, Jones
of New Mexico; Kendrtck, and
Ransdell, 4." Total, 37.
Against the amendment: - t
Republicans Borah, Calder.
Colt, Cummins, Edge, Frellnghuy
sen. Hale, Keyes, Lenroot, Lodge,
McCormick, McCumber, Pepper
and Sutherland 14.
Democrats -Ashurst, Caraway,
Culberson, Dill, Fletcher, Gerry,
Glass, Harris, Hetlin, Meyers, Ov
erman, Pomerene, Reed Sheppard,
Simmons, Stanley, SJwanson,
Trammell, Underwood, Walsh of
Massachusetts and Walsh of Mon
tana 21. Total,' 35.
Vote o Potash " .
Senators Wadsworth, New
York, and Willis. Ohio, who sup
ported, the 2.3 cent rate, voted
against the 2.5 cents tariff.
(THIS WAS WRITT
IT'S GOO
Published by the Oregon Statesman in co-operation
with The American Association of Advertising Agencies
The vote against the bounty on
potash was S3 to 30. with 12 Re
publicans - opposing and three
Democrats supporting. V
Thei, Republicans were Borah.
Capper.' Cummins, Edge, Jones ot
Washington. Lenroot, McCormick,
Oddie, Sterling, Townsend, Wads
worth and Willis.
The Democrats were Jones of
New Mexico, Kendrtck and Rans
dell. Before considering the bounty,
the senate voted SS to 1 to strike
ont the provision by which a tar
iff duty would have been imposed
on potash for five years at the
same rates that it was proposed
to pay the bounty. 2 H cents a
pound for the first two years. 2
cents for the third year, 1 W cents
for the fourth year, and 1 cent
far the fifth year. Senator Short
ridge, Republican; California,
alone voted against eliminating
the duty.' explaining that he
thought the industry should be
fostered by a tariff and not by a
federa't bounty.
Differential Considered -
The vote to place white arsenic
on the free list waa 29 to 25, with
10 Republicans opposing the duty
and one Democrat, Kendrtck,
Wyoming, supporting it. The Re
publicans were Capper, Cummins,
Hale. Jones of Washington. Keyes
Lenroot, McKinley, Sterling,
Townsend and Willis.
Because ot the operation of the
20 per cent tariff differential al
lowed to Cuba, the 2.S cents rate
on sugar would work out at 1.84
cents a pound on sugar from that
country, which constitutes practi
cally all of American imports;
This rate on Cuban sugar is .24
of one cent above the existing
tariff nd .16 of one cent lower
than proposed by Senator Brons
sard. Democrat, Louisiana, who
led the' fight for the 2.5 cents
rate. r ,
Split Occurs
The sugar fight left to fire roll
4klls, on several of which Repub
lican leaders and the finance com
mittee majority split. The Re
publican agricultural tariff bloc
voted practically solidly, however,
(irst for the highest rate pro
posed and then for the Smoot
compromise. On the first roll
call the senate rejected, 53 to 19,
a proposal by Senator Gerry, Democrat.-
Rhode , Island, to restore
the Underwood rate of 1 cents
a pound, then it voted down 60
to 21, another amendment, by
Senator Gerry to make the rate
1.4 center. Senator Willis pro
posed a rate of 2 U cents but this
was disapproved, 48 to 22.'
r Fight-Is Spirited
' The' committee sub-amendment
proposing to pay potash produc
ers a bounty over a period of five
years led to a sharp fight during
which Senator Lenroot, Republi
can, Wiscbnsin, ' denounced the
proposition as ' one"trhich would
open the door ot the federal treas
ury for a steady drain ot the
same sort in the future.
