Washington, Aug. 18. (Uullciln.) . Tlio' iitu-nit of Uio house, to over rulo President Taft'g veto failed by a vote of 227 to 170. Tills Is less than the two-third majority which In re quired. Washington, V. C, Aug. 18. Confunlon reigned In both houses of Congress today when the final stages of the revision of the tariff began. The miscellaneous bill, which has been in conference for several days, started out as the cotton bill, but has developed into a piece of patch-work and contains a little bit of almost everything. When the house convened today, Democratic leader Underwood called up the wool revision bill for passage over the veto of President Taft, which was received late yesterday after noon. Speaking on the wool bill, Con gressman James of Kentucky, scored President Taft bitterly, for his atti tude on the tariff. He said: "He will go down In his tory as the president who placed his ponderous corporoslty In the path of service to the people; he will go down In history as the one man who vetoed the will of the American people." He accused the president of betray ing the people's Interests, by block ing the efforts of tariff revision downward. When torm of mingled cheers and Jeers had subsided Congressman James addressed the house saying: "The people trusted you in 1908, wfien you Republicans, with the assent of the president, promised tariff revis ion downward. He called an extra session and you passed the Payne bill, which was betrayal of the peo ples' Interests. He signed It. Later he declared the wool schedule In defensible, He had no. tariff board when he signed the Payne hill, but j now he vetoes a hill cheapening wool- j en clothing to the suffering poor of i this country." ' Congressman Austin followed Mr. i Janus and defended President Taft's veto action and then Lnngley of Ki n-j tueky and Moore of Pennsylvania,! opposed the woid bill and lauded the president as did also Lcnroot. Adjourn Ncxt Week. Washington. Aug. 18. Sneedv tar iff action n the house and ndjourn-1 meiit of congress by the middle of the week was today forecasted by Dem-1 ocrntic Leader Underwood. I He said: "The cotton bill which) passed yesterday In the senate, was ; exactly the satn bill as sent over by I the house L will be acted on before I adjournment. Tho democratic ways; and menus committee will get togeth er this afternoon to consider amend-! ments and probably the steel and Iron schedule may be prepared, and also ; revls'ons of hemical and cotton ma- j chincry scln du'es, and reciprocal i provision for free coal between tho i United States and Ccuada may be ac- eepted by congress. PORTLAND SPECIAL TRAIN FOR ROUND-UP .. 3 :o- Portland, Ore., Aug. 18. A special train will carry a largo delegation of Portland people to tho annual Pendle ton Houndup, which will be held the middle of next month. No less than 80 persons have already signified their Intention to attend the Round up and It Is probable that this num ber will be considerably increased be tween now and the date of the unique western feature wh'ich attracts visit ors to Pendleton from all over the northwest. Splendidly equipped with three Pullman cars, a diner and an obser vation car, the special train will leave Portland for the Hound-Up on Sep tember 14 and leave Pendleton on its return trip on September 17.

A large crowd gathered at the county Jail today and jeered the pris oner, and the authorities, fearing an outbreak, were compelled to use rather strenuous methods 1n driving tlie mob away.

Dr. Wiley said that In thousands of cases, where manufacturers used adul terants he was given no chance to prosecute them, owing to offlciul op position. He then offered to take one law of ficer and a stenographer and do all the work the solicitor's office has done at one hundredth of the expense. J. A.

X0 one saw her fall but her body was found about a half hour later by A. C. Friedley. With her husband, the woman had left Portland ten days ago by wagon and team en route to Walla Walla. When they reached Pendleton two days ago, Mr Jones became ill and a camp was pitched Just across the Lee street bridge. - About 6 o'clock this morning, the woman arose and set out f r town for the purpose of securing medicine and milk for her husband, in one hand carrying her purse and the other an empty buck et.

PORTLAND WOMAN CITY OFFICIAL PAPER. NO. 7294 situation will be plainly beyond con- trol before night-fall. London, Aug. 18. With railw traffic in the northern part of En-' land completely paralyzbed and tran portation throughout tne country bad ly demoralized, labor leaders iodar declare that the response to their or ders for a general strike have greatly exceeded their most optimistic expec tations. They predict that every rail road line In the country will be ef fectually tied up within three day, unless their demands for shorter hours and increased wages are con ceded by the employers. Government authorities are plainly alarmed and have admitted that star vat on will prevail in eighty per cent of the homes in England within on week unless the troubles are ended before that time has expired. Thousands ofr foreign visitors in thla and other cities are stranded and are unable to even secure their baggage. Among this class are many Ameri cans. The .steamship companies are planning to run automobiles between London. Liverpool and Southampton in an effort to partly relieve the sit- llut nn I ii , ... rtu sailings nave been bus- pendea for the present. In view of the present crisis, it Is not probable that parliament will ad journ, as had been expected, during the next few days, until the trouble is settled, as it is possible that some special action may have to be taken by the legislative branch of the eor ernment. Soldiers who had been signed by the government to operate the electric power plant, have been unable' to ac complish the work and as a result, numerous factories have been forced tj close down.
