Senate Refuses to Strike Out
$11,000,000 Armor Plant Item
Washington, D. C. An attack by
Senator La Follette on the general
preparedness program as the product
of the agitation by moneyed Interests,
aided by the metropolitan press, pre
vented a final vote in the senate on
the naval bill. The Wisconsin senator
had not completed his speech when
the senate adjourned, and he did not
indicate how long he planned to con
tinue. The general belief, however,
was that a vote would be reached at
once.
Most of the day was taken up with
an unsuccessful fight' by Senators
Oliver and Penrose on the section of
the bill providing for a $11,000,000 gov
ernment armor plant. By a vote of
61 to 17 the senate defeated a motion
to strike out the section and then
voted down, 49 to 16, the Oliver
amendment to refer the armor' con
troversy to the federal trade commis
sion for settlement.
Senator La Follette contended that
neither conditions confronting the na
tion nor the testimony given before
the congressional naval committees
warranted the proposed navy increase.
"A total of $844,000,000 is the load
that goes on the bended backs of the
American people," he declared. "Why
is this to be done? If it is necessary
now, why was it not necessary four
years ago? You knew then the naval
and military strength of all the for
eign countries. But then the interests
had not been appealed to. Bethlehem
Steel at 40 was not Bethlehem Steel
at 840. The interests behind this pre
paredness plan do not fear Germany
or England. The plan merely fits into
their imperialistic schemes."
The senator charged that men had
been forced into preparedness parades
under threats of having their wages
reduced. Worklngmen in Washington,
he said, had told him they marched
in the demonstration there for that
reason. The larger newspapers of the
country, he declared, were influenced
by the advantage of the "interests"
behind the preparedness propaganda,
to devote most space to the testimony
of witnesses before the congressional
committees who favored preparedness.
Border Compact Near.
Washington, D. C Preliminary ne
gotiations between Acting Secretary
Polk and Ellseo Arredondo, Mexican
ambassador designate, for peaceful
settlement of border difficulties are
progressing so well that early formal
announcement as to the course to be
followed is officially predicted.
It is understood the discussions
dealt particularly with the powers to
be conferred on a Joint commission
should that plan of settlement be fol
lowed. Thursday's developments In
dicated that only final word from Gen
eral Carranza and President Wilson
was lacking.
Frisco Railroad It Sold.
St Louis. The St Louis & San
Francisco Railroad (Frisco System)
was sold to representatives of the
roads' bondholders here Thursday for
145.700.200. J200.00 more than the
minimum price fixed March 31 by
United States Judee Sanborn.
The sale ends the receivership, and
the road will be returned to the stock
holders under a plan recently approv
ed by the Missouri public service com
mission. There was no contesting cm
TWO DARING DRIVERS KILLED IN
AUTOMOBILE SPEEDWAY RACES
Uylsses Aubry, driver of a Tacoma
entry in the automobile speed meet
held in Portland Sunday afternoon at
the Rose City Speedway, and Frank
Lake, his mechanician, are dead from
injuries received when their high
power racing caromed over a curve
shortly after 4 o'clock. Aubry was 27
and Lake 34 years old. More than
5000 spectators witnessed the acci
dent, which was one of three. The
others were inconsequential.
The cause of the fatal accident is
not definitely known, but it is believed
to have been due to the steering gear
faltering while the machine was trav
eling at a furious speed around the
first turn to the right of the grand
stand. The two men were lifted from the
wreckage of the racing car and borne
to an automobile, which took them to
a hospital. Both men were uncon
scious, and Aubry'B death occurred on
the way to the hospital while the auto
was crossing the Burnside street
bridge.
Aubry's home is at 8321 Pacific ave
nue, Tacoma, while Lake was also a
resident of that city. Mrs. Aubry ac
companied her husband to Portland to
see his daring and skill on the track in
the first meet held in this city for
some time, and witnessed the accident.
James Whitcomb Riley, Noted
Indiana Poet, Dies Suddenly
Indianapolis, Ind. James Whitcomb
Riley, noted poet, died Saturday night
at 10 :60 o'clock while only Mr. Riley's
nurse, Miss Clementia Prough, waB
awake at the poet's home. He had
asked for a drink of water and re
clined on his bed again. Miss Prough
resumed her vigil and, noticing that
the poet seemed not to be resting
easy, approached his bed. Mr. Riley
died before she reached his side.
Mr. Riley's death was due to paraly
sis. He suffered a violent stroke about
7 :30 o'clock Saturday morning and the
members of his household were greatly
alarmed, but under Dr. Carlton B. Mc
culloch's ministrations the poet
seemed to improve, and early in the
evening was regarded as much better.
Information was given to the public
that Mr. Riley was in no danger, but
within a few hours he was dead.
Mr. Riley suffered his first violent
attack of paralysis July 10, 1910. He
was 68 years old.
Washington Considers Retaliation
for England's Blacklist
Washington, D. C. Indications that
officials are considering the advisabil
ity of taking economic retaliatory
measures against Ureat Britain for
blacklisting nearly 100 American firms
and individuals under the trading with
the enemy act were apparent here
Monday.
Conclusions and plans were said not
to have developed, but it was intimat
ed that action of that kind might be
determined on after the State depart
ment learned more of the plans of the
British government.
In the event economic reprisals are
decided on, the department of Justice
and the department of Commerce, it
was said, probably would develop
means of executing them.
Sweden retaliated when Great Brit
ain blacklisted Swedish business houses
and individuals by refusing to permit
shipments for Russia to pass through
her territory, according to information
received by the State department.
The action is said to have resulted in a
modification by the British govern
ment of the blacklisting measure.
Recovered Barrel of Bluing
Enriches Small Boat Operator
Vancouver, Wash. The tremendous
advance in the price of chemicals and
dyes is shown by the experience of F.
E. Smith, who operates a small boat
on the Columbia river and streams
tributary.
Some time before the war, Mr.
Smith lost overboard a barrel of blu
ing of the sort used in laundries. He
was compelled to pay the consignee
damages of about $60 for the Iobs.
Recently, on learning of the advance
in the price of buing, Mr. Smith went
to the place he had lost the barrel, and
with grappling hooks recovered it
He netted $1500 on this one barrel
and was sorry he had not lost a ship
load under similar circumstances.
Pontiffs Body Is Moved.
Rome A rumor was current in
Rome Sunday that the body of Pope
Leo XIII as to be transported at sun
set from its present resting place in
St. Peters to a tomb erected in the
church -of St. John Lateran. A large
number of persons gathered along the
route which the procession would have
to take, and the riota which occurred in
July, 1881, when the body of Pope Pius
IX was similarly transported, were re
called. The body of Pope Leo, how
ever, was merely removed from one
place to another inside of St Peter's.

Announcement is made by J. M. Bal
four that the Balfour-Greely Grain
company will establish a plant here to
store, clean and grade Montana wheat.
The first unit will cost $15,000. The
company's plan is to bring wheat to
the Spokane plant from all the rail
roads reaching into and through Mon
tana, and to supply cleaned and graded
wheat to the mills of the Inland Em
pire and to the Coast for export and to
the East. The Montana crop amount
ed to 40,000,000 bushels last year.
Parable of the Sugar Bowl.
If there is just so much available
fertility in an acre of soil and you use
part of it in making a corn crop, part
in an oat crop, part in wheat, and an
other part in grass, and then begin the
rotation over again and keep selling
off the larger part of it all the time,
you are like the housewife who has a
bucket of sugar and dips out one day
with a teacup to make a cake; another
time fills the sugar bowl and another
time dips out with a spoon to sweeten
lemonade or make cookies, without the
bucket being refilled. Green's Fruit
