The democratic members of house ways and means committee agreed today on a war tax bill. It increases the tax on beer by 50 cents per barrel, wine 20 cents per barrel and imposes a tax on freight of 3 per cent of its value.

Other tax proposals, it, was said will be dropped. Chairman Underwood ex pected to introduce the bill to morrow and it probably will be rushed through. : The bill pro vides for the railroads to collect the freight tax, ; receiving one percent of the amount collected for expenses.

E. Arney, head of the immigra tion department of the Northern Paci fic railroad, a man who has had wide experience in securing settlers for new territory and who knows how to attract prospective immigrants, tho .Salem Com mercial club is beginning a movement that is expected to bring in greater and better results than any heretofore at tempted. The method to be pursued in putting before desirable immigrants the opportunities and advantages of the Willamette valley is to get in touch with those people who have come here, have made good, nnd v..o are satisfied with conditions, and then have them write personal letters to their friends in the East. - According to the experience of Mr. Arney, this method ' is- the "strongest that can be adopted Tor securing the right kind- of people. This haB also coincided with the experience of the club, as it has been found that general descriptive literature mailed from a commercial organization such as the commercial club does not have the de sired effect as persona! letters writ ten from friend to friend have. The Salem Commercial club in start ing this movement is not interested in getting an indiscriminate class of peo ple to come to this valley as there are enough of the kind who think the world owes them a living and who are trying to collect it at the back doors of in dustrious people's homes. The policy will be to encourage the class or men and women who are looking for homes, for farms to till and orchards to cul tivate, and to discourage the other class. It is planned to get hold of as many new-comers as possible through the col umns of newspapers, through inter views with real estate agents and through the different state societies that are organized here. Letters will be written to these people enlisting their co-operation in getting their friends to come here. All the people who are satisfied will e asked to co operate. The cheap land list that the Com mercial club hag prepared will be off the press by the first of next week Several thousand copies will be print ed and as soon as available will be di tnbuted to the various immigration centers. to i from T ,heir number a;fh:t t 'rom Position of , '"'-.

Having been heavily reinforced by ivrman troops, today, the Austrians dnder Generals Dankl and Von Auffenbure turned on General Rouszky's pursuing Russians along a line extending southwest from the vicinity of Rawa Ruska thioueh Sadowa to a point near the River Dniester. The line's position today showed that tho Austrians had been driven complete ly from Russian Poland and were light ing in Austrian Galicia. The Russian plan to surround and annihilate them evidently had failed, however, through tne am given by tne Germans. Oeneral Kouszky had also been re inforced. He reported that he had captured 31 cannon and 12,000 Ausfiuns, including; 150 officers of the Fifth corps nud tho commander of the Fifteenth division, at Rawa Ruska. Tho Russian siege of the Austrian stronghold of Przemysl was still in progress. i i a.

JNews or tne success by the czar a troops in Russian Poland and Austrian Gnlicia had kindled a tremendous amount of warlike enthusiasm and sen timent was strongly in fuvor of Rou manian participation .n tlie conflict. Ine reigning house, pro-Austrian in its sympathies, was holding back strongly from such a course, but it seemed uncertain whether it would be able to stem the tide of popular feeling.

It was stated that they expected to. join the Servians in an attack on Serajevo, cap ital of the Austrian province of Bosnia. No Trouble Anticipated in Dividing the Rabbit Except as to Russia's Part. SHE MAY DEMAND EAST PRUSSIAAND GALICIA However the Worry Is Prema ture as the Rabbit is Not Yet Captured London, Sept. 2. (By mail to New York) If, as British officialdom eon fidontly expects, the Anglo-Franco-Rus- sian alliance beats Germany and Aus tria-Hungary, it was confidentially ad mitted here todav by men in hiuh aov ernment positions, some very awkward questions are likely to arise in connec tion with peace negotiations. It was taken as foregone conclusion that Great Britain would get what it wanted in the way of German colonial possessions. There will be no con troversy over the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France. Belgium, it wns as sumed, would prefer and rccoive finan cial compensation to an enormous sum for what it has suffered. Should Italy join the allies, or per haps even as a reward for its: neutrality, it was said there probably would be no ebjeetion to giving it Austria's Italian provinces. Inasmuch as a majority of the people of the Austrian provinces of London, Sept. 10: The admiralty ad mitted today that it was a German submarine, not a mine, which sank the cruiser Pathfinder, recently destroyed in the North sea. That the Germans should have ven tured to send a submarine so far from its ba?e surprised the admiralty. It was believed to indicate that the kaiser was about to begin a submarine campaign against the British navy. Vienna, via Rome, .pt. 10.

This represented one-fourth of the Austrians' whole first line, Besi les men, the army has lost enormous quantities of sup plies and war munitions. It was learned that Archduke Francis Frederick, the emperor's cousin, has assumed personal charge of Austrian operations. That the Russian forces in Galicia inteud to advance on Berlin through Silesia was gen erally believed. Officialdom admitted that Austria's economic plight was serious.

"Thi report ed sinking of tho British cruiser Path finder by a German submarine is a new event iu naval history," paid Cap tain Bristol, Secretary of tlie Navy Daniel's aide, this afternoon.

The following dispatch from Bordeaux was received at the French embansy here this after noon: "Violently attacked by the French on the right bank of the River Ourcq, the right wing of the German army has retired to the north of Petit Morin. "Violent encounters with alternative forward and backward movements at our center are reported. "The situation at Jancy and in the Vosges is good." Los Angeles, Cnl., Sept. 10. John Craig, president of the Craig Shipbuild ing company, was the principal witness today before the federal industrial re lations commission toduy. Ho told how union and non-union men worked side by side in his plant. "Do you give any preference to non union men.'" asked Chairman Walsh. "Only when strikes aifo brewing," was the reply. Craig admitted that his men work nine hours a day, nut at present, oe cause they were on government work, they worked only eight hours, as re quired by law. Questioned by Commis sioner Weinstoek, Craig admitted that unions had elevated labor, but later no added that labor had suffered financial ly because of them. He was in favor of tho workmen's compensation law. J. K. Timmons, president of the Cen tral Labor Council, testified that any emnlove of the Baker Iron Works who .joiued a union was rtiscnargou anil pre vented from obtaining employment ny means of a "black list." This was in contradiction of Fred L. Baker, head of the concern, who said that he treatod all employes aliko.

Russia Is the Bub. Thus far the program was expected to go through smoothly. But the rub will come when Russia s sian sources concerning the" lines on and wants are taken into account, bovon1 the czar's western frontier. The sweep of the line was approxi mately .100 miles and at practically all points it was said to be advancing steadily. BUXTON STORE BOBBED. Hillsboro, Ore., Sept. 10 The gen eral store of Gregerson & Kilburg at Buxton, 20 miles northwest of here, was robbed of $1000 in cash and an equal amount in checks early today, accord ing to a telephonic message received at the sheriff's office. Particulars are lacking, but it is understood that the safe, au old one, was opened without the use of explosives. The czar was thought practically cer tain to be in possession of East Prussia and Austrian Galicia when the war ends. The German and Austrian populations of these two provinces, it was one fessed that Russian rule unquestionably would seem worse than death and Bri tish statesmen those who would whis per of the subject at all agreed that it would be an outrage upon civilization to turn them over to the mercies of such a government. Nevertheless, it was pointed out, Great Britain and France will hardly be in a position to refuse. The issue was considered pregnant of serious consequences. Strong squadrons of battleships and cruisers nnd flotillas of destroyers swept the North sea, including the Bight of Heligoland, Wednesday, with out finding the enemy, tho admiralty announced. The general belief was that most of the ships were lying under the German land defenses at Wilhclmshaven and that a few probably had been sent through the Kiel canal as reinforce ments for the Bultic fleet. The latter was reported near the en trance to the Gulf of Finland, and it was believed an attack on the Russian fleet was contemplated. KILLED AT HOOD EIVEE. Hood River, Ore., Sept.. 10. George D.

Their right, especially hard hit, had been driven across the Marne and back toward Bel gium. Their center had been rein forced and was fighting hard but giving ground. The French were reoccupyinj? upper Alsace, the Germans hav ing retreated north of Mul hausen. Persistent reports were cur rent that British troops, striking1 southward from the Belgian coast, had cut the German' com munication lines and were at tacking the rear of the kaiser's western force. The French were beginning to talk of transferring the seat of their government back from Bordeaux to Paris. The Russian line, advancing, stretched from Konigsberg to the southern Carpathians. Berlin was their objective. Already they were threatening Breslau. The Austrians were resisting again in northern Galicia. Accepting Russian reports as true, however, the Austrian cause was hopeless. It was stated that they had lost 120,000 men, or one-fourth of their line, and that more than' half of it3 remaining force were slavs. The Galician stronghold of Cracow was reported captured. The Russians believed Austria would sue for peace within 10 days. The Sorvians had resuinod the offen sive and the Austrians were retiring beforo them. Montenegrins had taken Fotcha, Aus tria, and expected to join the Servians in an attack on Serajevo. Pro-Russian war fever was rampant in Roumanin.
