It was accompanied by a re quest from tho senate for a confer ence. After the passage of tiio meas ure in tho senate, which was preced ed by the decisive defeat of cotton relief legislation, conferees wero ap pointed. They wero Senators Sim mons, Williams, Stone, McCumbcr uud Clark of Wyoming. Majority Leader Underwood was ready to move tho appointment of absent members from nearby dis tricts to make sure of a quorum. Lack of a quorum might prevent the bill going to conference until tomor row, as southern democrats, led by lfeprescntative Henry of Texas, have announced their intention to fight for cotton relief legislation. liouso leaders, including Mr. Un derwood, wero hopeful they would yield in their demand for such leg islation in view of its overwhelming defeat in tho senate.

WAR REVEN EN HOUSE 0 0 RAO WEST WES BOOhTSTHR GRAB RECORDS Governor Accepts Oregonian's Chal lero? and Explains lusiness meth ods of Candidate loeth's Con ception of Public Office Contrasted With Chamberlain. Governor West, before a crowd that packed the Nat, the largest tolit ical audience of the year, numbering nt least 1500, Saturday evening ans wered tho recent challenge of tho Portland Orcgoninn and gave fncts concerning H. A. Hooth, republican candidate for senator, and his ac quisition of timber land. He also dwelt upon political conditions in tho sfalc, tho work of tho Orcgonian's "gang of crooks" iir tho legislature, mid the efforts now under way to capture control of thp slate mid kill the Oregon system. Tell of Method; Among' the methods employed by Mr. Hooth in acquiring his fortune, tho governor stated, were connivance with dishonest railroad officials, uso oCdtimmy locators, .co-operntion with a crooked state jmlitical machine, robbing of working girls and working men, deception of his relatives, land lotteries, exploitation of worthless laud, loot of the state's birthright mid betrayal of friends. He said in. part: "There -is no question of Mr. Booth's making n million out of I'm her. The only question is us to how he made it. " Friends Ik'trnyotl "I will give one of many instances, throwing a side light upon Mr. Booth's character. I am told by friends whoso word I do not ques tion, that when Frank K. Alley of Ho.-eburg, who had acted as his at torney and aided him in securing this timber land, went to Portland to njd Mr. Booth in his defense beforo tho federal investigators, lie, at Booth's suggestion, miscd money for the pur pose by mortgaging his home, Mr. Booth agreeing to reimburse him as soon as the storm had blown over. How tho money wns 8cnt, except that it was to protect Mr. Booth, I do not know. I do know that it wiih never repaid Mr. Alloy, who has re cently lost his home mid is cleaned out financially as a reward for his services at least I am so infonuwl . by responsible parties. This h ono way Booth treated his friends. HoW he treated his poor relatives is de tailed in federal court records when he gave them .f 100 each for filing on timber claims worth from $."000 to $7000 each, and after the deeds had been destroyed to prevent his convic tion for laud frauds, threw them tin additional $50 for new deeds, after they, had testified to mivo him." The governor told of tho purchase of O. & C. grant timber lauds by the Booth-Kelly company. These rail road lands wero nover pnid for, says tho coventor, until after the timber had been cut.
