Spreckles Points out That
Taft's Order Placing Funds
in Banks, Will Cause Much
Trouble for Wilson
New York, Feb. 7. Possibility of
heavy financial Btornis confronting the
administration of President Woodrow
"Wilson uaon after his Inauguration
March 4, unless congress Investigates
the causo and purport of "treasury
circular No. E," la Been here today by
Rudolph Spreckles, the millionaire, of
San Francisco.
"The circular directs that customs
money be deposited In national
banks," said Sprockles today. '1 be
llove the order directly conflicts 'with
the law.
"It seems strange that the Taft ad
ministration should Issue such an or
der on the eve of going out of office.
We have the right lu question tho mo
tive which promoted' such aotlon. Un
less the order Is promptly rescinded
we will witness a marked and unusual
Increase lr. di i os'tt, principally In
New York banks, the Increase amount
ing to $200,000,000 annually In New
York alone. When the new adminis
tration takes office It will be obliged
to demand the return of these funds to
the government. The effect of the
withdrawal of so many millions Is
bound to cause financial difficulties.
"I believe the people are entitled to
know who Is responsible for the plan,
and why It was put out. at thl tlnrv
On the face of the order there Is no
specific provision that the banks shall
give security for the deposits or pro
vision that they shall pay Interest.
The funds affected by the order
were held In sub-treasuries previous
to February 1, whon the order became
effective. Spreckles maintains that
If the banks use tho money they must
lo so In such a wny as to have It sub
ject to quick call. In this mnnner, he
declares, It will find Its way through
the UBiial channels to Wall street,
where It would be loaned on call.
Therefore, he contends, If millions are
suddenly recalled, the demand would
go directly Into tho call money mon
ey market In New York, forcing tho
Immediate withdrawal of enormous
sums.
Spreckles believes that the order
will he held Illegal, and that Presi
dent Wilson will he forced to rescind
It. It Is known that the situation hns
been personally presented to Wilson.
Washington, Feb. 7. Prediction by
Itudolph Spreckles, a San Francisco
millionaire, In New York, thnt the
country Is threatened with financial
difficulties as a result of "treasury
circular No. I," which directs that cus
toms money be deposited with national
banks, caused the house committee on
expenditures In the treasury depart
ment to Btart an Investigation on its
own account. Acting Chairman Young
announced he would ask Secretary of
tho Treasury MacVeagh to testify bo
fore his committee regarding circular.
"Aslstnnt Secretary Bailey's expla
nation of the order," said Young,
"makes It appear that the new plan Is
a splcdid Idea, but I believe that Mac
Veagh will soon toll more, In vlow of
Mr. Sprecklos' statement."

Last Night
MANAGER MEREDITH AND OTHER
STATE FAIR OFFICIALS FUR
NISH A DELIGHTFUL ENTER.
TAINMENT TO VISITING FAIR
MEN.
The banquet given the visiting rep
resentatives of the Northwest Fair
Asoeclatlon at the Hotel Marlon last
night, by the malingers of the state
fair association here, was one of the
most delightful affairs of the kind ev
er given In Salem. There were about j
40 seated at the tables, and they dis- (
cussed the splendid menu, made the ;
more enjoyable by the splendid ser-.
vice, under the direction of that artis-
tic dining room manager, Ed. Gage.
Hon. J. H. Booth was toastmaster, and
he filled the position splendidly, pass
ing out his Invitations to the guests
bo wittily and happily that each and
every one of them was placed at ease,
and consequently some very Interest
ing responses were made.
Mayor 'Steeves mile a brici address
of welcome In a happy vein, and from
that time until the cigars were slacked
down to good-bye time, there was
something doing.
Mr. Gocher, of Hartford, Conn., told
of how when legislation was adverse
the farmers came to the rescue of the '
horse. '
i
H. S. Relston, of Vancouver, B. C, .
bolng asked to explain what they
drank their toasts to In "dry terrl- j
tory," replied that "they use milk,
thus making It a milk toast," and he
passed out some Interesting Informa
tlon about fa'rs In his country, j
Prof. Heltzcl being absent, Mr. John
McCllntock was called upon to say
what lleltzel did not," and he did in
a manner tho professor might feel
proud of.
Mr. John N, Pace, asked to give a
definition of the Seattle spirit, said "It
was simple. Just all getting the same
minded about anything, and then go
ing to It; each learns from the other,
and all from each, and the whole
thing Is Just unity of purpose.
Then there were several too brief
talks, which, the reporter having mls
lnld a page of his notes, cannot recall
the nameB of the speakers. One of
these spoke of the "better stock, bet
tor farm products and larger yields"
which ho ascribed directly to the les
sons learnod at the fairs.
Mr. Cosgrove, of Spokane, gave a
very interesting little talk, whoso only
fault was Its brevity, and Senator
Hawley, accused of being the father of
15 bills, denied tho parentage of all
but three of them, before adding some
warm words of commendation for fnlrB

Senate Cleans up House Calendars-Widows
to Get Pen
sions and Judges Bigger
Salaries- A Busy Day
The widows' pension bill and the
bill making the salaries of circuit
Judges In Oregon $4000 yearly were
the most Important of six house bills
disposed of by final passage In the
senate this morning. One bill, that
regulating tho salo of liquor on Sun
days, was rc-reforred on the grounds
that It Hhould be made to road more
definitely. Tho entire forenoon ses
sion was taken up with third reading
of house blll3. All on the calendar
was disposed of.
Tho widows' pension bill was Intro
duced by the house committee on
health and public morals. The bill
applies only to dependent widows or
dependent women whose husbands are
in prison or languishing In other state
Institutions, provided the women are
mothers of children under 16 years of
age. The pension is to be paid by the
counties in which the dependents live
If the recipient of the pension la the
mother of one child under 16 years of
age, she receives $10 monthly, If she
Is the mother of more than one child
under that age, she rocelves $7.50 for
each child. If any child has property
sufficient to support it, the child Is
not represented In the pension. If a
recipient of the pension marries, the
pension coiop,
To Protect Home.
Senator Thompson, one of the sup
porters of the bill, explained that the
key purpose of the measure Is to ena
ble dependent women to keep their
children at homo Instead of being com
pelled to allow them to run at large
and ultimately become Inmatos of the
slate reform institutions. Senator But
ter voted for the bill, but declared that
It was so Ioofo as to permit of much
abuse. Ho said, however, that he con
sidered tho bill nonessary as a step In
tho right dlreo'lon, and that after it
has been tried for two years it can bo
remedied at tho next session of the
legislature.
Judges' Hill Hard Fought.
The passago of tho bill making the
Balarles of circuit Judges $4000 yearly
was accomplished after much travail
by tho senate. Most of the lawyerB
favored tho bill. Senator Butler,
speaking from experience, declared
that he held a position on tho circuit
bench while ho was single, and that
ho was unable with frugal habits to
save a cent Ho took a fling at the
publlo In mentioning tho numerous
affairs and Institutions to which a man
holding a public position must con
tribute, terming it "a graft that the
public gots In on tho man who holds a
public Institution." Senators Bean
and Calkins both defended the bill.
Senator Dean declared It to be one of
ho most Important measures of the
entire session. Ho declared Hint If the
Judges are not paid hotter salarlos
the result will bo mediocre men hold

Captured
Ex Officer Gains Assists
Chief Shedeck in Running
Down Burglars Who Have
Been at Work in the City
The arrest of two men whom, it is
believed by the police, are responsible
for tho robbing of three Salom homes,
and possibly the ones who broke into
Watt Shlpp's gun store night before
last, was made yesterday afternoon
about 5 o'clock, when Chief of Police
Shedeck, assisted by ex-Officer Wil
bur Golns, took Into custody Frank
Caldaras and Tlmaleo Gadona, whllo
they were In the act of leaving their
room in a lodging house on North
Commercial street. In the neighbor
hood of $500 worth of Jewelry and
watches were found sewed up in the
bedding of their room, and! a suit
case was also found bearing the let
ters "M. J. K."
It is also believed by Chief of Police
Shedeck that the arrest of these men
will eventually bring out the fact that
they are connected with the white
slave traffic in Weed, Cnl., and that
one of them is a deserter from the
army, for the reason letters were
found on Cadena from women In Cal
fornla, and which accuse him of forg
ing checks, and, as the woman calling
herself "Dixie," writes: "Putting mo
In bad, because you have been crook
ed." Stolen Goods Identified,
Jewelry belonging to Ed. Baker, Joe
Reso f.d Charles Blrdsall was Idcn-
tifled) this morning, and a pair of
practically new shoes were claimed by
Mr. Baker. There Is not a reasonable
doubt existing but that these two men
performed the recent depredntlons,
and It was through the diligent search
and efforts on the part of Mr. Gains
nnd Chief Shedeck that they were fi
nally corruled.
Watches, stick pins, rings, necklnces
and many other articles of value were
uncovered when tho officers ripped
the bed clothing to pieces In the lodg
ing house where the men wero arrest
ed. They evidently Intended to secret
their bnul until such time as they
could leave the city safely.
Mr. Gains and Chief Shedeck were
first attracted by the peculiar manner
in which tho two men acted In front of
the lodging house. Whllo both would
npproach tho building, only ono ven
tured lnsldo. Tho other would stand
about the entrance. Donning over
coats, Chief Shedeck and Mr. Gains
entered the building after one of tho
men had departed and tho other was
on watch. They searched the room
occupied, and found tho stolen prop
erty, and, whllo In this act, tho one
who left, returned, and was immedi
ately arreBted. The arrest of the oth
er follow followed when the officers
regained tho street.

The Third
House Was
a Hummer
Big Audience Simply Con
vulsed as Stunt After Stunt
Trod on each Others Heels
"Holman is the Star
From start to finish the burlesque
legislative session given by the Third
House last night was a gale of laugh
ter, a veritable scream. "Let 'er buck,"
was the slogan. Hundreds of persons
wero turned away, for the big house
chamber was crowded to capacity with
hundreds standing. Tho crowd even
extended out into the rotunda lobby.
Tho program was carried off with
snap and vim. Something now evory
minute with almost continuous laugh
tor. Tho speeches and manner of il
lustrating tho foibles of senators and
representatives, and their methods of
conducting business, were splendid
and full of keen shafts of satire, wit,
irony and sarcasm even wicked cru
elty. Those who took the main parts
were well nigh perfect.
Glen O. Holman, who Impersonated
Speaker McArthur, and lator posed as
Representative Hagood, Is a genuine
humorist, aator and mimic. His arbi
trary rulings and manner of giving
them were excruciatingly amusing.
Tho fun started with W. F. Drager
as temporary speaker, Hon. Allon Ea
ton as the speaker's personal page
and Sieaker McArthur as temporary
chief clork. A fight developed over
election of permanent speaker. In
marvelous flights of oraiory McCourt
ney nominated Holman, Huntington
nominated Charles Garland. There'
were Blmllar seconding speeches, and
the name of Miss Harley was placed
In nomination. Holman who was de
clared elected, was escorted to the
rostrum by Dolllo Gray, senate page.
His speech of acceptance, a lino bur
lesque of Speaker McArthur, was
punctuated with rours of laughter.
Tho fun now became fast and furi
ous, starting with his appointment of
Senator Dim Keliaher and Represcnta
tlvo John Westerlund, big fat mon as
pages. Ills Instructions on their du
ties to Danny and Johnny were side
splitting. Representative Schnoerr
was appointed sergeant-at-arms. Miss
Williams asked that the courtesies of
tho bouse bo extended to Theodore
Roosevelt, and that gentleman, im
personated by Miss Novlo Lounsbury,
took a seat on tho floor, grinning de
lightedly, Speaker Holnum's upKilnt
ment of burlesque committees started
fresh outbursts.
Then Governor Went, Impersonated
by Senator Joseph, was escorted to the
rostrum amid cheers and applauso,
and mado a brief witty speech.
Now enmo porbaps the loudest
scream of the evening, with the Intro
duction of new bills. The spectacle
of Pages Johnny Westerlund and Dan
ny Keliaher skipping gracefully down
thn aisles und gathering bills, und re
turning them to tho clerk's desk, Is
one that will never bo forgotten. It
was ludicrous In tho extreme.
As Clerk McArthur started to rsid
tho bills, "Governor West" get up an
grily ami shouted, "Why should I stay
hero and listen to all tills?"
