FOR FINAL ACTION
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. The war
revenue bill, as revised by tho sen
ate, went to the house today for no
tion. 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. IIo was cer
tain, however, that there would he
litle delay in th bill going to confer
ence. Tho conferees aro expected to
reach an ngrccmciit on the bill by
Wednesday and approval of their re
port by both houses not later than
Thursday. Adjournment of con
gress would ensue at once,

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. Not a dollar was paid
for them, savu in inture'. ")(
