Portland, Ore, June I2.-Tracey and
Merrill the escaped convicts, eluded the
guard of troops, and one hundred citizens
Gervas, where they had been hiding all
day yesterday.
At 7 o'clock this morning they appeared
at the farm OF A. Akers, six miles north of
Gervais, and demanded breakfast. The
men had all gone to work and only Mrs.
Akers and her daughters we're in the mouse
when the bandits walked up.
They made no effort to conceal their
identity, and Tracey said:
II suppose you know who we are ?" and
without waiting for a reply, said I'VE are
the convicts who broke out Of the penten-
tiary."
Mrs. Akers and her daughter prepared
good meal for the outlaws, who held their
guns across their knees while eating
Mrs. Akers asked them 10 lay down their
guns while they were eating, but Tracey
said he preferred to keep his weapon near
him, but assured Mrs. Akers that he would
not harm her.
After finishing breakfast they started
north, and are now supposed to be in the
woods on Deep creek, between Marion and
Clackamas counties. MRS. Akers tele-
phoned to Sheriff Durbin at Gerva,s that
the fugtives had taken breakfast at her
house and that Tracey appeared to be
wounded in the right arm.
Sheriff Durbin Immediately prepared to
follow the trail, and with posse and
bloodhounds arrived at Monitor postofifce

washington, June Ia.-When the house
met today Mr.. Ray of New York, chairman
OF the judiciary committee, asked unani-
nous consent that Monday after the con-
sideration of bills under suspension of the
rules and Tuesday be set apart for the bill
to amend the bankruptcy act. There was
no objection and the order was made.
Mr.. Dalzell then presented a special
order Tor the consideration of the senate
irrigation bill one day for general debate,
and one day for amendment under the FIVE
minute rule. Mr.. Robinson of Indiana
opposed the adoption OF the rule. He de-
clared that the bill would be beneficial to
the arid land states and dangerous TO all
the others.
He criticised the action OF the democrats
in congressional committee in. adopting a
resolution favoring the irrigSton bin. He
declared that the committee was without
jurisdiction and had no power to bind
democratic members. The whole scheme
was undemocratic, he asserted and was in
the interest Of land grant railways.
Favors the Rule.
MIR. Underwood of Alabama favored the
adoption of the rule. He argued that the
only method OF building up the arid land
states was to provide for their irrigation.
The bill would not take dollar out of the
treasury, he said. 1t would only use the
proceeds from the sale of lands in each
state for the benefit of such state.
Mr.. Shafroth of Colorado also argued
for the adoption of the rule. Mr.. New
lands of Nevada also supported the rule.
The resolution then was adopted without
division. The house resolved itself into
committee Of the whole--Mr. Tawney of
Minnesota in the chair-and entered upon
consideration Of the irrigation bill
1t was arranged that Mr.. Mondell of
Wyoming should control the time for the
measure, and Mr. Ray of New York
