Plan at Washington, Aug. 27.— Increase pay of the army, but no increase in its sise is the compromise which has been reached between the president and leaders in congress who control legisla tion. The president has given bis hearty approval to the plans of the gen era! staff of the army which included both increases, but after consultations and conferences, It has been decided that It will be impossible to do more at the next session of congrees than to secure an increase in pay for the army Immediately upon convening bills will be introduced in the senate by Mr Dick, of Ohio, and in the house by Rep­ resentative Capron, of Rhode Island carrying out the agreement which has been reached. Theee bills will provide for an in crease of 10 per cent in the salary of lieutenant gerenal, 15, per cent in crease for majors and brigade generals 20 per cent for colonels, lieutenant col onels ami majors, 25 per cent increase for captains and lieutenants and 30 per cent increase for noncommissioned officers and privates. - I t la thought that such a measure will become law It was desired by War department officials that congress should authorize an increase in the strength of the army not so much by increasing its strength numerically at this time, but by provid ing for creation of new regiments to be given skeleton organization in time of peace. ________________ There is a small arm y of detectives in Berlin watching noted anarchists at H AV E N O C O A L FO R E X P O R T . tending the congress.

He replied that he had nothing to say. When asked os to the date for the convening of court next month, he replied that the session would take up September 9 The matter referred to la the reported indictment of Senator Borah by the United States grand jury that sat here in March. No official statement on the subject had ever been made until the attorney general gave out the statement eent from Washington. The under standing ia that an indictment was found charging the senator with having had some irregular connections with timber transactions under which the Barber Lumber company acquired title to certain timber lands. ¿Great secrecy was maintained about the whole matter at the time the grand jury was in see sion and nothingjwhatever of an official character had been given tc the public until the department of justice gave out the statement that an immediate trial was to be given the aenattor. That ia the first official utteranqg indicating an indictment was found. IM B U E D W IT H H O P E . Portland Operators Far From Dis­ couraged O ver Situation.

ANY SHIP TO PIECES Dunnlta Proves Superior to Bhimosa With Which Japan Won Har Great Naval Victorias. New York, Aug. 24.— The Time* to­ day says: “ The experiments at the Sandy Hook proving grounds with Dunnite, the high explosive invented by Major Dunn, of the Ordnance corps, U. 8. A., have proved that the United States possesses in Dunnite the secret of au explosive perhaps more powerful and destructive than any other explosive ever invented. “ Dunuite, army officers say, is more powerful than Shimose, the explosive with which the Japanese did such ter­ rific execution in the naval battles off Port Arthur and Vladivostok and in the Sea of Japan. Shimoee ordnance offi­ cers say the explosive is a compound of picric acid, the secret of which is known to the ordnance officers of all the first- class powers. Oo the other hand, the secret of Dunnite Ji» in the exclusive possession of the United States govern­ ment. “ In the recent testa of Dunnite at Sandy Hook it le said that the very best five and six-inch armor plates that could be obtained were used as targets. The result ol every shot was the same. The armor plate was smashed into thousands of email pieces, it is said, by their impact. The impact of the Dun­ nite ia also all that is necessary to ac­ complish the destruction of the target. Penetration is not necessary, the impact being such that the armor i| shattered into countless pieces. “ The droping of a Dunnite shell on the deck of a battleship, it is said by many ordnance officers, would mean the immediate sinking of that ship, not by penetration of ite vital parts, but sim­ ply by racking the vessel until her seams opened and the lnrnab of water sent her to the bottom. This, it ia raid by some ordnance officers, was the way that the Japanese put the Russian ship out of commission. They would drop the Shimose shell» on the decks, and the destructive Shimoee did the rest. San Francisco, Aug. 21.— The break­ ing of Francis J. Ueney'a automobile yesterday morning delayed for nearly half an hour the resumption of the trial of Louis Glass for b rbery. The aaaiet- aut district attorney and Rudolph Sprockets completed on foot their jour­ ney to the court while Judge Lawlor and the jury waited. John Krause, who waa T. V . Halsey 'a assistant in the alleged bribing of su­ pervisors in behalf of the Pacific States Telephone A Telegraph company, waa called. He told of approaching Super­ visor Thomas F.

XrauBe told of the visit« of supervis­ ors to an nnfitrnlshed suite of rooms in the M ills building temporarily rented by Halsey for the purpose, as alleged by the prosecution, of paying over bribe money. Krause actod as doorkeeper and admitted the supervisors one at a time to an inner room, where Halsey was.
