Washington, Jan. 19. Controversy
as to whether "Uncle Joe" Cannon Is
the descendant of an Irish king or a
Norman baron, Is raging today among
the genealogists of the capital. Only
a short time ago one line-tracer
showed that 'the Danville statesman,
If he had his deserts, would be a
prlnge of Hibernla. But now comes
W. Lewis Kane, of Westchester, Penn
sylvania, with a neat little volume of
800 pages entitled "The Life of Jo
seph Gurney," which traces the
speaker's descent from a noble swash
buckler who crossed to England with
William the Conqueror. Gurney be
ing Cannon's middle name, Kane
scouts the "Irish king" hypothesis,
and traces the speaker's descent from
the Norman.
STUDENTS ORGANIZE
AS LEGISLATIVE BODY
The Philldorian Literary society last
night organized for the time being
Into the senate of Oregon In concert
with the organization of the house of
representatives by the Websterlan
Literary society. The halls of the
two societies are situated directly
across from each other and concur
rent bills and resolutions were acted
upon.
Harry McCain was elected presi
dent of the senate without any oppo
sition. Desk help was elected and
President McCain appointed the com
mittees. James Crawford was elected
after a spirited contest to the speak
ership. A Joint meeting of the two
bodies was then called and Professor
Kellar was elected governor of Ore
gon. The inauguration will take
place next Wednesday evening In the
chapel . of, the r university.' Several
bills were read in the senate after
the Joint session and referred to their
appropriate committees,
This will be fine practice for the
students both in parliamentary prac
tice and debate In addition to the ac
quirement of legislative procedure.
The men show great interest in this
undertaking.
WILLAMETTE TO HAVE
t A GOOD BALL TEAM
A meeting of the baseball men of
Willamette was called after chapel
Tuesday morning and the coming
prospect was discussed. It is cer
tain that there will be a baseball
team this year that will render a
very good account of itself. There is
a lot of good material and the man
ager has two pitchers of well known
ability pledged to enter school next
semester. In Harrison, an old high
school player, the university has a
third baseman that is hard to beat.
McRae is a good man on the infield.
Oakes will again occupy second base.
There will be some competition for
the first base position as well astha
of the short-stop territory. MeMea
chen will catch. The men In the out
gardens are doubtful.
FLETCHER
ASSAILS
BALLINGER
SAYS -HIS ACTS ARE JUST WITH.
IN THE LINE OF CRIMINAL
GUILT BARELY KEPT ON'
WINDY SIDE OF THE LAW."
Washington, Jan. 19. Declaring
that the acta of 'Secretary Balllnger
had
been "just inside the line of
criminal guilt," Senator Fletcher, of
Florida, today spoke in the senate,
endorsing the minority report of the
congressional investigating commit
tee. "Between vulgar graft and perfec
tion," he said, "lies the standard of
conduct of their officials that the
people have the right to exact. They
don't require infallibility, but they
certainly are no satisfied
their officials barely keep
to have j
on the t
windy side of the law and pursue a
course of nc glectfulness and unfaith
fulness to tiieir interests which Is
just within the line of criminal guilt.
"Balllnger was far from candid in
his letter to the president which de
nied the truthfulness of the Glavis
statement, and there is no doubt that
after his resignation as land com
missioner, he acted as the legal repre
sentative of the Cunningham group.
In fact, he admitted on the stand that
he acted in that capacity. Through
out the whole record it appears that
as lawyer, as commissioner and as
secretary of the interior, Ballinger
fully sympathized with the coal land
claimants and desired that they be
given the patents they desired. If
they had violated the law, he held, it
was because the law was absurd.
Nowhere does it appear that he want
ed the law enforced; nowhere is he
shown as safeguarding the public in
terests. He always seemed to feel it
his duty to look out for private in
terests and to entirely lose sight of
the fact that the people's property
was at stake."
Fletcher declared that it was posi
tively wicked In Ballinger to send a
"young lawyer, only a year out of
college, and who had never tried a
case, to the Pacific coast to defend
the government's interest in the hear
ings on the Cunningham claims." He
further asserted that Balllnger when
on the witness stand, was "evasive
and apparently afraid that the truth
would come out," and bitterly criti
cized Oscar Lawler for participating
In the4 case while bearing' malice 'in
his heart against Glavis.
OPEN FORUM.
Ed. Journal: The proposal to cel
ebrate the saving of Oregon to the
United States, and by Oi2gon I mean
Washington, Idalho and other areas
Included In the disputed territory, Is
one that should meet the approval of
every Oregonian. The proposal to
have the state aid by donating- $100,
000 to It should be approved, and for
many reasons. Laying aside the pa
triotic pride, which the Northwest
should feej and which should be
showed by every true American, and
looked upon as a mere business trans
action, It Is a splendid investment.
It should be remembered that Ore
gon is not alone In this movement,
but, as the location is on Oregon
soil, she must make the first move.
Must start that ball rolling. The ma
jority of the legislature favor the
move, but many are afraid nothing
worthy can be accomplished with
the $100,000 asked for.
They overlook the fact that Wash
ington and Idaho will each appropri
ate not less than $50,000 apiece, and
perhaps double that, and that Cali
fornia will also probably do as well,
and Montana also.
A splendid showing could bet made
that would bring thousands of people
to the' coast, and, without counting
future benefits, would leave a sum
many times greater than that ex
pended in the stae. AH we have to
do Is to. note the effects of the Lewis
and Clarke exposition and the .big
far. at Seattle, which brought mil
lions of money and tens of thousands
of people to the coast. Astoria asks
this, and I think the great majority
of the thinking, patriotic citizens of
the Northwest demand it.

FEDERATION
TRANSACTED
MUCH BUSINESS
GOES ON RECORD AS OPPOSED TO
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT AND
ACTS OV MATTERS OF MUCH
IMPORTANCE TO LABOR.
The Oregon State Federation of
Labor went on record this morning
as being heartily in accord with all
efforts to secure good roads.
Discussion on the proposed meas
ures for the proper inspection of high
tension electrical construction,
brought out the fact that the majority
of the fatalities 'among electrical
workers are due to faulty construc
tion Iri the high" voltage systems.
The trend of the talk was that while
the measure was good, It should be
closely watched, to see that it did
not in any way conflict with or invali
date the present employer's liability
law. The present inspection law for
electrical apparatus is not sufficient
and is in fact nothing but a farce.
The resolution was endorsed with the
provision that a' draft ' of the pro
posed bill be submitted to the execu
tive .board, of the,,, federation. .
The endorsement of the measure to
increase the number of supreme
judges was opposed, on the ground
that the same delays would occur un
der the present methods of court
procedure and the resolution was laid
on the table.
The recommendation of the com
mittee that the resolution relating to
old age and disability pensions be not
endorsed, was adopted.
Another recommendation on a sim
ilar line was that the eighth annual
convention go on record as being "un
qualifiedly and unreservedly opposed"
to any legislation tending toward
compensation or industrial Insurance
laws by the present legislature but
that the subject matter be referred
to the executive board to report at
the next convention.
The antl-capltal punishment resolu
tion was unanimously adopted.
The extension of the Chinese ex
clusion act, which is urgently re
quired by the Pacific Northwest, re
ceived concurrence without a ques
tion. The Lifesavlng Service pension
bill that i3 now before congress re-,
celved the hearty endorsement of the
convention.
The suggestion of Governor West,
made to the delegates at the recep
tion given by him at the beginning of
the convention, that the federation
recommend two individuals to him for
appointment on a commission, to be
composed of two representatives of
organized labor, two from the Grange,
two from the employers and one to
be selected 'by the governor, to col
lect data and make recommendations
to the next legislature on the subject
of . automatic Industrial Insurance,
brought out considerable discussion
but ori a roll-call vote war accepted
with the provision that any appoin
tees be Instructed to absolutely dis
countenance any action on the mat
ter by the present legislature.
YesterduyN Afternoon Session.
When the resolution relating to the
proposed new tax law for Multnomah
county was reported back from the
committee, Hon. W. S. U'Ren, of Ore
gon City, was Invited to speak on the
measure. He stated that while the
present employer's liability laws par
ticularly protect and help those en
gaged In hazardous occupations, the
exemption of individual effort from
taxation, as proposed, could not fail
to be a benefit to all working men.
The burden of the change would come
on the holders of large tracts of un
improved land held for speculative
purposes most of which land is be
ing enhanced in value by the labors
expended on adjacent lands. And that
the imnrovement of lands should not
be penalized by additional taxation

Minneapolis. Minn., Jan. 19. A

Speakers last night who addressed
an Indignation meeting of the Twin

made before tho meeting.
"The malls surely will be tied up

said. "Although the amount, of mail

by Hitchcock. His policy of econo

more than their share of the saving.
A general strike of mall clerks cer

Delegate A. I. Mason, of the Grange,
prefaced his remarks by saying that
what he. would say would not neces
sarily be the voice of the Grange, but
the voice of Mason. In reply to. a
query by a delegate as to whether or
not the proposed new tax would be a
benefit to the non-property-owning
wage-earner, he said that inasmuch
as the large tracts , of unimproved
lands would be the bearers of the
bulk of the change, it would neces
sarily follow that the wage-earner
would be benefited.
Paul V. Mohr, delegate from the
Washington State Federation of La
bor, spoke in favor of the measure
and cited numerous instances to
show why it is a very desirable thing
for the laboring man.
Ralph Clyde, representative from
Multnomah county, wanted the em
ployer's liability law retained Just as
It is.
Fred Jabeluian spoke eloquently in
favor of the Astoria Centennial and
the . convention enthusiastically en
dorsed the measure.
Representative Seneca Fouts, oi
Multnomah county, on special Invita
tion addressed the convention and
said he would favor no laws regard
ing labor that was not endorsed by
the federation.
Speaker Rusk made a very effec
tive talk, giving much personal ex
perience. A resolution endorsing the efforts
of the machinists to secure an eight
hour day called forth an eloquent ad
dress by Ed. Ilannan, vice president
of the International Association of
Machinists, and the resolution was
heartily adopted.
