Chief Executive Capable of Perfecting

Washington. — I’rssldeat Wilson
••«in s to have th« tariff situation well
In hand, notwithstanding rspaatsd
aiurmurlngg among wssterii democrat­
ic senators, who have It In their power
to force material changes In the Un­
derwood bill, and nnless there Is a
change of heart at the White House,
the tariff law will be signed In sub­
stantially the shape In which It left
tb s house.
From time to time there Is specula­
tion as to what might happen It a few
western democratic senators, repre­
senting wool and sugar growing states,
should join with the Louisiana sena­
tors and form a combination to defeat
the sugar and worn provisions of the
Underwood b lit Up to date It has
been Impossible to Induce any of tbs
aenatora who have figured In this spec­
ulation to declare them selves publicly
on the bill, and (heir timidity leads to
the conclusion that they will content
themaelvea by espresalng their disap­
proval of free wool and free sugar, and
will then vole for the bill.
Lobbyists Scored.
President Wilson stirred Congree-
alonal circles with an emphatic state­
ment denouncing the "Industrious"
and "Insidious" lobby In Washington,
attem pting to create public sentiment
against certain features of the Under­
wood tariff bill. Thia was accepted
at the capitol as referring to the unus­
ual efforts being made against free
raw wool and free sugar.
While the president was declaring
that the public should be relieved
“from the Intolerable burden," Sen­
ators aud Hepreaentativea were view­
ing on every hand the evidences of
the lobbyists, and significance was a t­
tached to a statement by Secretary
Simmons, chairman of the finance
comm ittee, that In his opinion the lob­
byists were not making any headway.
W heat to Oo on Free List.
Following the statem ent by Senator
Williams, of the finance aub-commlt-
tee, which has the agricultural ached-
ule under consideration, that the duty
on livestock and their products and
grains and their products would be
equalized. It was reported that the
com m ittee had agreed to put wheat
on the free list, along with wheat flour.
In the Underwood bill wheat Is given
a duty of 10 cents a bushel, while
wheat flour Is free of duty. It also
was reported that the comm ittee prob­
ably would recommend removal of
the 10 per cent duty on cattle, sheep.
and hogs In conformity to the free list­
ing of all fresh meats In the Under­
wood bill.
Insurance Feature Coming Up.
Senator Williams* sub-committee
will take up the Insurance feature of
the Income tax section of the bill. An­
other matter to occupy this sub-com­
mittee will be the amendments to the
administrative featuree of the bill pro­
posed by Assistant Attorney-Ueneral
Denison and A ssistant Secretary of the
Treasury Curtis. The amendments be­
ing seriously considered are one to
give the Secretary of the Treasury the
right to proclaim valuations on ad va­
lorem goods and another to prohibit
attorneys taking up disputed cases on
a contingent fee basis.
The so-called "patent monopoly"
which threatened to prevent cut rates
by retailers In all patented articles
on the market was destroyed by de­
cisions of the supreme court of the
United States. The court held that
owners of patents do not receive the
right by the patent law to control the
price at which retailers must sell to
consumers. The decision In words ap-
plied only to a nerve tonic for which
a patent had been Issued, but will con-
trol all patented articles sold under
restrictions not to resell at cut rates.
Safety raxors, talking machines and
thousands of other patented articles
are affected by the derision.

“Ed” Cardwell Meets Death in Lum­
ber Camp Near Rainier; Young Man
Spent Boyhood in Sams Valley
News of the tragic death of John Ed­
ward Cardwell, familiarly known to his
friends in this city and vicinity as “ Ed”
Cardwell, came by wire to his uncle, L.
R. Cardwell, of this city, late Monday af­
ternoon. Subsequent information re­
ceived from the Coroner of Columbia
county yonveyed the details of the sad
accident which cost the young man his
life.
v
A month ago Mr. Cardwell secured
employment with the Jones Lumber Co.,
of Goble, Oregon, his duties being mainly
i in tlie mill proper. Attracted by the
higher wages paid for work in the woods,
supplying the mill with timber, be re­
quested a transfer, which was granted.
At noon Monday lie left for bis new po-
j si tion, walking unaccompanied through
j the timber. At 2:3ft he was discovered
lying by a log along the trail, barely con­
scious and with death fast apporaching.
A physician was at once summoned from
Rainier, the nearest procurable, but be­
fore his arrival the unfortunate young
man had expired.
.
Although there were no witnesses the
manner of the accident was plainly evi­
dent. A head block, secured to a tree,
and bearing the steel cable which returns
tlie main line to the woods for the drag­
ing out of fallen timber, became detached
from its fastening and struck the passing
! man a terrific blow upon the head, his
death resulting from a fracture of the
spinal column and internal hemmorhage.
Tlie remains were shipped to thia city,
arriving Thursday afternoon. Funeral
! services and interment were held the fol-
- lowing forenoon at the Sams Valley cem­
etery, a long concourse of friends paying
. their last tribute to the. departed. C. H.
Fredenburg, of Sams Valley, pronounced
a simple but touching funeral service at
the grave, and a choir from this city
, rendered various sacred selections.
“ Ed” Cardwell was one of Gold H ill’s
Isiys, who spent much of his youth in
■ this city and its vicinity, and who posses­
sed the warm regard and esteem of many
friends—young and o ld .

feeling deeply the loss occasioned by the
untimely death of this estimable young
man, they unite in extending to the grief-
stricken relatives their sentiments of

residing in this city for a number of year»
at the home of Edward Cardwell, sr.,an d
later accompanying tlie family of his
uncle to tlieir new home at Klamath Falls.
Six years ago be spent the winter in this
city with his uncle, L. R. Cardwell.
Since that time, until the fatal accident
which brought him here for burial beside
his well loved foster mother, “ Ed” Card-
well had not tieen home, although a fre­
quent correspondent with his uncle in
this city. Splendidly dispositioned, gifted
with youth, health, and a facility for
making warm friends, his death at the
very outset of mature life is but evidence
of that inscrutable decree 'to which all
must bow with resignation.
