FORM AN ORGANIZATION TO UPHOLD ADMINISTRATION Sumo Warm Reunions' Expected Be tween Senate Ixxulers and President When letter Readies Capital Akiricli Calls Regulars Together to Agree on Stand to Take Says They Must right to Save Taft Policies From Defeat. Washington, D. C. May 6. The regulars today refrained from further effort to pass the rate bill. They are waiting until President Taft returns from his western trip so he ca.i ex amine the wreckage of the railroad bill and decide what action for the leaders to take. Indications are that there will be some hot sessions be tween Taft and the senate leaders when they meet. One veteran said he would tell the president he had no business traveling around when Important bills were threatened. Through the formation yesterday of an organization which Its leaders claim represents a clear majority of the entire senate and to be made up wholly of regular republicans, a move ment was started to settle whether the senate shall remain conservative, be come radical, or be thrown into po litical chaos as fur as concerns any coherent policy on the administration program. Senator Aldrlch called the regular republicans together and confronted them with a grim description of the possible political effect of their ap parent defeat at the hands of the in surgent republicans and democrats In the fight over the traffic agreement section of the administration railroad bill. He asked his associates wheth er they were ready to submit to dom ination by such a combination. Any uch surrender, he warned them, meant failure of the Taft policies and the downfall of the conservative con trol, not only In congress but In the republican party generally. Some one reminded Senator Aid rich that senators then gathered to gether were not In agreement on all points, whereupon he replied they must get together and agree to stand together and let the details be sec ondary. Otherwise, he said, congress would adjourn without accomplishing a single Item of the Taft program. The entire tone of this conference was belligerent toward the Insurgents. This was the dominant note: "Let us get together and stand ns a un.t against every insurgent proposition. If the Insurgents propose anything good, we'll take it over bodily and put it through as our own; If they propose anything bad, we'll stamp It out" PROSECUTION FIRES FIRST GUN IN GOIIL TRIAL Montesann, Wash., May 6.

WDQLGRDWERS SELL AT Though woolbuyerg have been flocking to Pendleton and other east ern Oregon points for several weeks none of this season's clips has so far been sold, so far as can bo ascertain ed. Growers are apparently of the opinion that strong Influences are at work to keep the price lower than ac tual conditions Justify and they are therefore showing a disposition to hold unrll sales day. Last year there were no sales days for the reason that all the wool was disposed of at satisfac tory prices before tho tlniM 'or the sales arrived. It Is said that last year's activity on the part of the buyers was due to an effort to break the Chicago Storage Wool Warehouse plan. This failed, however, If there ever really was any stich scheme on foot and growers are displaying more Independence this year than ever before. A. J. Knollln, one of the largest growers of wool In the state of Idaho, and also a prominent Chicago com mission merchant, Is quoted In a Chi 1 u ARE EI PALS Ex-President and Ruler of Norway Find Much in Each to Admire.

Christiana, May 5. Colonel Roose velt J-l King Haakon have made hits with each other. They like each other so well that court tnrmaities have been done away with and the palace party is like a gay week-end.

It is a holiday throughout the country to day in honor of Roosevelt, who lunched at the American embassy this afternoon and delivered his speech on "International Peace" before the No bel Prize Commission at the National theater. Plans for Berlin Visit. Berlin, May 5.

Whatever our present rank In cre ation, we may look forward with de light to the solution of untold mys teries and the certain exercise of un Imagined powers. REFUSE TO CURRENT PRICES cago wool paper as offering the fol lowing advice to growers: - "Growers should carefully consider foreign wool market conditions before accepting lower prices for their crops," said A. J. Knollln. "Foreign markets nre active at the highest prices of the year ond home market conditions are not warranted except through causes entirely due to domestic influences. Certainly the new clip will not exceed consumptive demands as we will be compelled to import wool for a num ber of years to come. Strike threats and rumors of tariff revision may have been depressing influences and there are doubtless many who are honest in the belief that prices of woolen goods in this country are too high to the consumer. My advice is to store wool and not make conces sions to the dealer that are of sacrifi cial nature. It Is going to be a long drawn struggle between buyer and producer this year and dealers show a decided disposition to clean up old stocks before starting out FIR STEAMER OF SEASON LEAVES DAWSON DOWN RIVER Dawson, May 5.

ALIVE. RECALLED IVY MtE. ZOLAS SUIT Paris. Madame Emile Zola, wid ow of the late novelist, has Just in stigated a lawsuit which reminds Pa risians that Major Dreyfus is still alive. Although he lives on the Bou levard Malesherbes in the heart of Paris, this man who almost dismem bered France might as well be dead for nil the interest he now Inspires. Some patriotic and impressionable Italians, moved to admiration by Zo 1ns' marvelous letter "J 'Accuse," made the novelist a present of a stat ue in bronze. This statue represented Dreyfus chained to a rock. Madame Zola presented the statue to the man ager of a company which undertakes to provide healthy tenements for the very poorest class of French unfor tunates. She desired the statue to be erected in the center of the garden where the poor might gaze upon the work of art and call to mind the mem ory of the dead novelist who wrote so much about the working man. The manager of the company, how ever, sold the precious relic to a Junk shop for sixty dollars. Now Madame Zoia claims two thousand dollars damages. Lobster Boats Armed. Paris.
