The new age. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1896-1905, 1906-04-14
FRIDAY. April s.

Washington, April EN- making an
effort today to get the senate to agree
upon date for taking vote on the
railroad rate bill, Tillman made the
important statement that one week
more probably would exhaust the gen.
eral debate. He failed, however, to
secure the Consent Of Aldrich, who said
that he would not be willing to agree
to vote on the bill until it was more
yearly perfected than it now is,
Daring the day there were three
speeches on the rate bill. The first OF
these was made by Elkins, who, while
expressing the opinion that the situa-
ton demands legislation, indicated
many defects in the pending bill.
Gamble followed in support OF the bill,
and Kean closed in opposition. Elkins
was frequently interrupted, and several
spirited colloquies marked the progress
of his remarks. No senator being pre-
pared to speak tomorrow, the senate
adjourned until Monday.

the galleries, public, private, senatori
al, executive and diplomatic, was held
by it's occupant with marked tenacity.
Monday, April 9.

Washington, April 9.-McLaurin and
Morgan addressed the senate today on
the railroad rate question, the former
advocating the legislation and the lat
ter opposing. The Mississippi senator
announced his intention to support an
amendment providing for court re-
view of the decisions of the Interstate
| Commerce commission and also stated
| his adherence to the Bailey amend
ment, prohibiting the temporary sus-
pension of the commissions orders by
the inferior courts. He criticized what
he characterized as an effort to inject
politics into the consideration of the
bill. Morgan took the position that
the proposed legislation was an inter-
terence with the rights of the states to
control the corporations created by
themselves, and said that the best way
to check exorbitant railroad rates was
to keep the waterways in such condi-
ton as to insure competition.
Washington, April 9. - Notwith.
standing that this was District day in
the house and that body resolved itself
into common council for the purpose
of making laws for the District OF Co
lumbia. general interest was shown in
the bills requiring non resident pupils
to pay tuition and regulating the en-
ployment Of child labor. Hepburn, of
Iowa, replying to long speech of Sims,
of Tennessee, in which he contended
for self government for the people of
the District of Columbia, made de-
tense of the form of government, but
criticized its administration. He did
not think two newspaper men and one
army officer, who constitute the board
of commissioners, the proper personnel
for such a government.

Baroness Burdete- COutts. Prom,
inent PhiIanthrOpist Dead
in England.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-Baroness Bur-
dett-Coutts, who has been ill at her
residence here since Christmas eve, is
dead.
The extreme age of the noted philan-
thropist (who was born in 1914 rem
dered impossible her recovery from
the attack of acute bronchitis, from
which she died.
The death of Baroness Burdett-
Coutts, occurring at the ripe age Of
ninety-two years, besides depriving the
country of one of its greatest and most
famous philanthropists, removes from
London a unique personality and an
interesting social figure.
AS a link with the almost forgotten
past, her life beginning during the
reign of Emperor Napoleon, she lived
during the reigns of five British SOW
ereigns. Inherlting an immense for
tune, she so used it as to die beloved
Apy the whole nation.
The Baroness Burdett-C outts was
one of the foremost of Englishwomen.
She was an intimate and lifelong
friend of the late Queen Iictoria and
was one of the richest We hen In Eng
land. Her wealth was used princi-
pally to carry on her wog.i to improve
the condition of the poor, and as a
philanthropist her name was world
wide.
The baroness, who was a British
peerless in her own right. had never re-
Taxed In her charitable work, and her
name in connection with philanthropic
efforts has always been a hallmark
lof success. She was particularly be-
loved by the people of the White
Chapel district, London, whose condi-
ton she had done much to improve.
Twenty-Five years ago the Baroness
Burdett- Coutts became the wife of
William Ashmead Bartlett, then a
young man in the diplomatic service
and at present a member of parlia-
ment for Westminster. He was born
at Plymouth, Mass, and upon becom-
ing the husband Of the Baroness Bur-
dett-Coutts assumed, by royal license,
the of Burdett-C outts.
The Baroness Burdett-C outts had a
remarkable history. To have known
William ", to have been presented at
Queen Victoria's coronation, to have
been intimately associated with Charles
Dickens and to have spent over n
million pounds In charity form a
unique chapter Of experiences in this
woman's life. King Edward once said
that, after his own mother, the baron
ess was the most remarkable woman
in England and unquestionably 1.-The
second lady in the land"

NOT AFTER PRESIDENCY .
Secretary Taft, However, Would
Not Decline Nomination.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 31.-Secretary
Taft made the following statement
concerning his presidential aspirations:
For the purpose Of relieving the
burden imposed by recent publications
upon some of my friends among the
Washington newspaper correspondents
of putting further inquiries to me I
wish to say that my ambition is not
political. that / am not seeking the
presidential nomination. that l do not
expect TO be the Republican candidate,
If for no other eason because of what
seems to ME to be objections to my
availability. which do not appear to
lessen with the continued discharge of
my own official duty, but that | am
not foolish enough to say that In the
improbable event that the opportunity
to run for the great office of president
were to come to me l should decline it.
for this would not be true"
The unfailing capacity Of Mr.. Taft
has been shown in many instances in
which he has ably supported President
Roosevelt in grave emergencies, and
the breadth and craftsmanship he has
exhibited as a member of the Philip
pine commission and Of the cabinet
have won for him the support of many
members In his party.

gas jet in the room, but as the supply
of gas was regulated by a quarter

TIME! /!
"Are You Figuring it out-or just
Yawning?"

"Are You Figuring it out-or just
Yawning?"
Is your record for 1906 one of pro-
gress? Have you made an effort to
broaden your mind by study and in
crease your usefulness with knowl-
edge? Perhaps there is little COM
fort in thinking of your failure. May
be you'd rather forget 1.-THE job
you missed because you weren't ready
and it wouldn't wait. But what of
the future?
Will the end of the next year find
you taking a short cut to failure
across the barren field of idleness?
Opportunity is up with the sun
looking for ability. If you want to be
yanked up in front, given important
work, and told to name your price,
the honey don't hang around the
hive" Unless you can deliver the
goods and show that you are able to
do something better than the other
fellow, you needn't expect to be
among the yanked; the best you can
hope for is to hang on where you are
until time drops you onto the scrap
heap. And every day you waste wait
ing for something to turn up you get
just twenty-four hours nearer the
dull thud.
The road to success is not over
crowded and lies open to the perse-
vering mar who can think for him
self, and is not afraid of hard work.
The young man crying that there is
mo chance" that the trusts have
ruined their opportunities, would not
succeed anywhere. 1t is the man
that will make his chance If he can
not find it, that will not wait for OPP
portunity to break in his door, but
that will go out and seize common
occasions and make them great that
is always in demand. No matter
you do, try to be a king in it. The
world is so busy it has no time to
spend on winners. But it holds a
priceless crown for the man with pur-
pose and energy who is figuring it
out-not yawning."

deiphia Police.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31.-John q.
Price, who has been under arrest in

There WAS a struggle and a chase.
At the foot Of the stairs l caught Mrs.
Lewis to keep her from screaming,
and a handkerchief was thrust into her
mouth. l then drew from my pocket

reason confessed to having committed
