ASKS FOR A RECEIVER
FOR THE Loss COMPANY

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 25.-C. E. Loss,
who has the contract for grading the
Drain, Or, branch of the Southern Pa
cific, has asked for a receiver for the
Loss Company and also has asked the
railroad company to relieve him of the
Drain contract alleging a conspiracy
TO hamper him in completing the work.
Loss estimates the liabilities of the
company at $4,000 and the assets. in
Guiding camp equipment, tools, tunnel
machinery and such property, at
$65, 900.

Company; w. B. Reed, private detec-
tive, and J. S. Holland. a bookkeeper of
the Loss interests at Drain, on charges

SECURES VOTE RULE
House Will Pass Measure
and Senate Promises

SECURES VOTE RULE
sPpcIAL pIspAToH no THE GALL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Secretary
Root was one of the moving spirits in
securing the rule in the House today
providing for a vote on the ship sub
sidy bill. He called on the Speaker
and other influential persons at the
capitol and pointed out to them the
features of the bill which made it de-
sirable from an administration stand
point that it should be passed at this
session.
One of the men to whom Secretary
Root appealed said he was much i'm
pressed by the Secretary of States
picture of the helplessness of the
United States in case Of war. The re-
cent talk of a possible war with Japan
had been of service, he said, in show
ing how poorly the Government was
equipped in the matter of transports
and auxiliary cruisers. He said Secre-
tary Root laid stress upon the feature
of the ship subsidy bill and asked that
il be given consideration. The Govern
ment would be greatly handicapped in
case Of trouble with Japan is securing
vessels for transport and scout service.
Even the vessels now flying the Ameri-
can flag in the Pacific were IN danger
Of passing under the Japanese flag.
1t was Secretary Roots influence, in
the opinion of this legislator, which
vide for vote on the subsidy bill.
There is little doubt that the bill will
pass the House next Friday. Members
from the Middle West talk of an in
surrection, but the time is too short
for organizing a bolt, and the desire
of the President for the subsidy bill
is so strong that he will probably be
able to bring the recalcitrants to
terms. 1t would require about sixty
insurgents to defeat the bill, and that
number cannot be found The chances
are that most Of the insurgents in sight
viii come into camp before Friday.
General Manager Schwerin of the
Pacific Mail has been trying to get the
subsidy bill amended or to head it off.
The Pacific Mail cannot profit by the
subsidy so long as it employs Chinese
crews, and 1t does not want it's rivals
to get any subsidy unless 1t gets a
share. If the bill becomes a law the
Pacific Mail will be confronted with the
possibility Of dangerous competition or
the necessity of employing crews of
Americans.
Senators interviewed on the subject
said if the House would pass the bill
there would be no trouble about pass
ing it in the Senate.
Senator Gallinger, leader of the sub
sidy movement is so anxious for a ship
subsidy law that he will take the House
bill, if he sees it is all that he can get
at this session. It will serve as an
entering wedge for something better.
On the whole. the prospects for the
shipping bill are regarded tonight as
being greatly improved.

MRS. COL TONS DAUGHTER
WEEPs ON THE STAND

SANTA CRUZ, Feb. 25.-With the
proceedings today in the trial of the
Cotton will contest, which was started
by Banker Siegfried Sachre of Paris in
an effort to break the will of the late
Ellen NJ Cotton of Santa Cruz, San
Francisco and Washington, the four
teenth week of the case was COM
menced.
Sachre is lighting to secure portion
of the estate, which he alleges is worth
over $75O,o0O, for his little daughter
Helene, great granddaughter of Mrs.
Cotton. Helene was cut off in the will
with but $1,000.
Mrs Caroline Martin Cotton Dahl
gren, daughter of Mrs. Cotton, was on
the stand all day today, and was sub
mitted to a searching ross-examina;
tion by Attorney Riley of San Fran
tempt to prove that the relationship
existing between the witness and her
mother was not as affectionate as the
witness claimed.
When confronted with a letter in
which she severely criticised her moth
er, Mrs. Dahlgren broke down and
wept.
In direct examination this morning
by ex-Judge Slack of San Francisco
Mrs. Dahlgren testified that the reason
for the lack of provision for the Thorn
ton branch of the family in her moth
er's will was that they had already re-
ceived their portion of the estate. She
further testified that Mrs. Cotton had
supported Mr. and Mrs. Crittenden
Thornton of San Francisco throughout
their entire married life. In corrob-
oration of this statement letter to
W. ]. Bartnett from Mrs. Cotton was
offered in evidence.

COLLINS HAS NEW RUSE.
To ESCAPE PUNISHMENT

George d. Collins is said to be play
ing another shrewd technical game to
catch the courts mapping and free him.
self from a penitentiary sentence. His
latest ruse, it is said, is to bring about
a situation that would cause the Su-
preme Court to drop his appeal, thus
throwing his case out of court entirely
George D. Collins argued motion
yesterday before Judge Hebbard for a
release from jail on bail while his ap-
peal from the conviction of perjury is
pending in the Supreme Court. He
claims that his long imprisonment has
impaired his health. deranged his ner-
vouS system, emaciated and weakened
him, and that his life is in danger.
He also asserts that the County Jail
is unhealthy and unsanftary and unfit
for the incarceration of human beings.
Dr. A. B. Nelson and DR.. Marion
Thrasher testified that they had ex-
amined Collins and found his heart and
lungs normal from an organic stand
point but that functionally they
showed signs of nervous debility. and
that he was suffering from short res
piration and loss of weight. Judge Heb
bard refused to allow questions asked
by Assistant District Attorney William
Hoff Cook as to whether. in the opinion
of the physicians, Collins Imprisonment
was the sole cause of the change, and
he believed Collins should be released
on bail If his health were worse than
it was a year ago.
Assistant District Attorney Cook fled
an answer denying the claims made by
Collins. He asked whether Collins
condition might not be due to a realiza-
tion of the fact that in case the Su-
preme Court refused his appeal he was
on the verge of a fourteen-year penf-
tentiary sentence, and this query was
also ruled out by Judge Hebbard.
Cook declares that in his belief Col
lins' petition is a trick to have the
appeal dropped entirely by the Supreme
Court The question Of the legality of
Collins custody is the one before the
Supreme Court, and COOK asserts that
should Collins be released, the entire
case would have to be dropped He as
serted that Judge Hebbard had no
right to interfere in the matter, but
the court held that a ruling in the
case could not be an interference, and
gave Cook until Thursday to have an
examination of Collins made by physi-
clans of his own selection.

the Secretary of the Treasury to ex-
pend in the purchase of a site alone, II
necessary, the whole sum appropriated
by the bill for the San Francisco sub
treasury, amounting to S3T5,o00. The
rapid increase in the value of the lots
desired for the sub-treasury and the de-
sire of the Treasury Department to Sc
cure sufficient land to build a structure
surrounded by an open street makes the
increased appropriation necessary. II

tion bill. carrying $21o,o00,000; the pen

The principal fight today over the
agricultural appropriation bill took
place on the Beveridge amendment re-
quiring the packers to pay the cost of
administering the meat inspection, law.
This amendment was defeated on a
point of order. Beveridge secured the
adoption of an amendment which re-
ouires the date of canning and inSpec-
ton to appear on the label of the can
containing meat products.
Lodge secured the passage of the
Philippine agricultural bank bill. An
amendment offered by Culberson. de-
claring the intention of the United
States to abandon the island soon as
a stable government should be estab-
lished, was defeated.
The Senate also passed bill grant

PREACHER WHO DID NOT
TRIM IN LABOR SPEECH
Chicago Minister Praises the Eff
; forts of American Labor in
! Unionism.
Looks to Organization to Lift the
Burden of Labor, and to
~ Free Women.

CHICAGO, Sept 19.-Rev M. p.
Boynton of the Lexington Avenue
Baptist church of Chicago, spoke to
the workingmen on Labor Sunday on
thes ubject Of Hail to Labor" He
said in part:
The churches are feeling for the
tollers as never before. Indeed, the
appeal Of the labor unions was never
given more careful hearing than
during the immediate past. No letter
or circular from organized labor
reaches my table that does not receive
the closest attention and a sympathe-
tic reading. Labor Day is helping to
direct our thought to the problems of
labor.
THE church halls labor in her Wis
ion. The better condition. the shorter
day, the increased wage, the fuller
life, all these are parts Of that WIS.,
ion that ought to be quickly realized.
The churches must share in the high
hopes of labor.
Then, again, we hail labor in her
victories. Wonderfully has labor
wrought. Mighty have been her VIC
tories. We rejoice at the relief that
has been so dearly bought And of
course we know that these victories
would have been impossible without
the labor unions. These organizations
have marched like the companies Of
great army and have fought for noble
prizes, many Of which they now pos
sess.
II do not know the merits Of the
rilr ~ fo1o h..
ers, but I admire the bond of SYM
pathy that binds those men and wo-
men together to such an extent that
from New York to Los Angeles they
make common cause for benefits and
rights that they believe are their just
due. Whether they win or lose they
have won on the field Of brotherhood
a deeper and richer fellowship and. are
the stronger for the next struggle,
whatever ana whenever that may be.
only as labor unites and works to-
gether can there be the greatest pro-
gress and the swift lettering Of con-
ditions from which so many suffer to-
day.
Labor must lift the burden of la
Dor from the week shoulders of wo-
men. Labor must release the child
from the factory and the store. La
Dor must shorten and sweeten the day
of toll. Labor must increase the wage
and add joys to life. This is the task
of labor. Then let all laboring men
and women unite under wise leaders.
Let them go forth pledged in the VOWS
of an unselfish brotherhood to make
the world better. Be sure Of justice.
Keep your hands clean. your hopes
high and your faith in the good God
of the Christian.
