CROSS OF HONOR MEN MEET
Four Members of the Board Of Gov
ernOrs Hold Session.
Resolutions Thanking President and
Other Honorary Members Ia
Adopted at Meeting.

Four members Of the board Of govern
ors of the Society Of the American Cross
of Honor assembled in meeting for the
first time yesterday at 292S. Fourteenth
street northwest, the residence Of Thom-
as H. Herndon, the president of the or
ganization.
The order, which was incorporated by
an act Of Congress. May l. 1906. is lin
tied in membership to those who have re-
ceived from the United States govern
ment or from the President a medal In
recognition Of bravery displayed in res
cuing persons from death.
Owing TO the fact that the oTganiza-
ton, as incorporated. has been in exist
ence but little over a year, the member
ship only covers a very small portion Of
those who have received medals for
heroic deeds. but it is believed by the
present members that the number will
increase very largely in the coming year.
The meeting opened with the reading OF
a report by President Herndon, which
gave in detail the progress made during
the life of the organization, and was fol-
lowed by the adoption Of motion to
send circular letters 10 all persons having
received medals Of honor. aprising them
of the existence Of the order and their
eligibility for membership
A resolution was passed thanking the
honorary members. Theodore Roosevelt,
Emperor William Of Germany, King
Leopold Of Belgium. and Andrew Car
negie. for the autographed pictures sent
by them IN the order
A motion 10 present a medal by the
organization 10 the person selected from
those receiving medals Of honor from the
government for the greatest bravery dis
played, was adopted. Annual meetings
will be held in November of each year.

laney. New York City; Richard Stockton.

That the price of bread will advance
from five cents to probably six or seven
cents a loaf in the near future is in
evitabIe, according to statements made
by the leading bakers Of the city yes
terday II is also likely that the cost OF
all other commodities in which wheat
is factor will go up in price, or else
the articles themselves will be reduced
IN size.
The bakers claim that at the present
cost Of -four it is impossible to bake
bread in loaves the size prescribed by
law, sell them at five cents a loaf. and
make a profit The managers Of many
OF the smaller bakeries declare that IN
g less an advance in the price of bread
comes within the next few weeks, they
will be compelled to shut down.
Due TO Wheat Price.
The scarcity OF wheat and its high
price on the market are the causes, in
the opinion OF one Of the leading bakers,
FOR the advance in the price Of bread
both of which conditions he attributes to
the heavy export Of wheat from this
country to Europe, and not to specu-
lations. The report Of the wheat brokers
throughout the country show the Euro
pean wheat crops to be much smaller
than the requirements and considerable
under normal, and that those countries
are, in consequence thereof, looking to
this country for the bulk Of their wants
The reports also show that the wheat
crop of this country is only 625 100000
bushels this year, as against 7&,000,00O
bushels in 1906; a difference of 1l0000,000
bushels. The fact that only 900
bushels OF the 1896 crop were exported
from this country to Europe last year,
and yet that entire crop was absorbed
and that approximately 600O00,000 bushels
Of this years crop are being sent 10
Europe weekly is held 10 be an additional
argument in favor of an advancement in
price in the near future.
Rapid Rise in Flour.
The bakers also claim that flour could
be bought from the mills last year at
S425 a barrel, while $5.95 a barrel is the
present quotation.
Under the prevailing conditions it is
impossible to speculate on just how soon
the advancement in price will occur, but
it is the opinion Of the majority of bakers
that the time is not distant If the tre-
mendous export of wheat from this coun-
try continues

House Disciplines the Senate.

Salem. Feb. 2O.-(Special.N That
the senate and wields the power with
vengeance TO compel the upper
branch of the legislature to be good
and dc as 1t is told, Is clearly evil
denced by the haste in which the
senate responded to the action of the
house last evening by taking up and
passing the Port of Columbia bill,
which was laid upon the table by
the upper body yesterday afternoon,
but was taken up with alacrity this
morning and acted upon favorably as
amended.
The club which the house held over
the head of the senate when 1t learned
that dilathry tactics were being in
dulged across the corridor and that
the Port of Columbia bill was threat
ened with defeat. was the sudden re-
consideration and vote upon appro-
priating 100000 for the extension OF
the portage railway. 1t was passed
and laid upon the table. This action
by the house had the desired effect,
as the senate passed the Port of Co.
lumbia bill this morning
The Multnomah delegation is still
holding the Hood River county bill
over the heads Of the Wasco delcga-
ton to keep 1t in line.
The house has PASSED bills aprro-
rriating 100000 for the establish
ment of an institution for feeble
minded.

No Passes for Legislators.

Salem, Feb. 20.-No more passes
will be issued either to members of
the legislature OF to clerks during the
present session. The Chaplin bill, con-
tanning the anti-pass clause, became
effective last night, when signed by
the governor Chairman Wright and
Coffey Of the respective railroad
committees this morning ordered
transportation for clerks stopped.
False affidavits are hcing sworn to
by senate clerks and stenographers
who have not been at Salem the full
40 DAYS, in the effort to secure pay
for fun time. Several clerks who
were not sworn in and did not begin
work until one or two weeks after
the legislature convened, have filed
affidavi.s with the secretary of state
stating thcv have been here the whole
time. Many clerks are heing instruct
ed 10 do this by the senators for whom
they are working.
Tho special committee reporting on
the amount to be allowed each clerk
will allow only for the time since each
was sworn in. The committee has dis
covered false affidavits in checking
up its report. Chairman Wright says
II will not allow claims based on false
affidavits, but will recommend that
clerks be paid only for the time they
have actually worked.

HEATED DEBATE ABOUT sMOOT IN SENATE

Washington, Feb. 20.-The final de-
bate on Smoot this afternoon was
heated. Dubois declared that Hop
kins, in a previous speech, declared
Mormonism above all the Christian
religions. Hopkins leaped up, eyes
blazing. 'I'll not yield" shouted Du-
bois, who has led the opposition for
four years. Hopkins shouted, IT'S
an absolute Misrepresentation"
Hopkins was declared out of order
but Notwithstanding Dubois protests
Hopkins added, "The senator must
not misrepresent a colleague. If he
does not want to be interrupted"
Continuing, Dubois said certain
senators had deceived the senate and
the public because they had spoken
from testimony, and charged that
Knox had made sarcastic filings at
the sanctity of the American home
Speaking to the republican side, Du-
bois exclaimed: "You have the Nor
mon vote, but you have lost the moral
support of the Christian men and
women Of the United States''

OFFICERS GONE
AF TER SEWELL
WARRANT TFLEGRAPHED
FOR LATTER'S ARREST.
ENpCC;cd That ScWcll VIII Resort to
Release From Custody at san Fran
cisco--Scwcll's Conduct Here May
Revive I'm n New Form the Adagc,
"Robbing Peter TO Pay Paul"

Sheriff T. d. Taylor and Bert Will
son left on the westbound train at
1880 today bound for San Francisco
to secure w. ]. Sewell, now held by
the police of that city. They hope to
get through to Portland tonight and
on to California at once so as to reach
Frisco without delay. There is a pos
sihility that Sewell may SEX to obtain
his liberty by habeas corpus proceed
inGs and for that reason particularly
the sheriff wishes to he on time.
This morning a warrant for Sewells
arrest was telegraphed to San Fran
cisco. and it is supposed that even
should steps he taken to free Sewel
the warrant would be sufficient to
hold him. But should the point come
to test 1t would be necessary for
those holding the prisoner to produce
witnesses in court who know that the
sender of the message. T. d. Taylor,
IS tho present sheriff of this county.
This the sheriff believes could be done
should the matter be contested. But
as far as is known here no effort Is
being made by Sewell to secure a
writ of habeas corpus.
In the, message which Sheriff Tay-
lor had from San Francisco the chief
OF police merely wired that he had
Sewell in custody. AS he was appar-
entity satisfied as to the prisoners
identity there is little doubt but that
the man held is Sewell, especially in
view of the fact that he was known
to be in California.
II is now reported that the Gray's
lIarbor company was the heaviest
loser by Sewell's misconduct. From
a reliable source 1t is said the COM
pany knows of shortage to the
amount of $4,000 with a possibility
of the real amount being twice that
large. At least several weeks before
Sewell's flight II was known to the
Gray's Harbor people that their for
mer manager was short However,
they made no charges hoping that the
amount wiuld be made up. This is
said to have been done in part by
Sewell, who in doing so used money
he had collected for the Potlatch
company. thereby increasing his de-
ficit with the latter company.

Beveridge contrasted the Smoot
case with the Dreyfus case, and de-
clared there is no blacker wrong than
to ruin the reputation of a man or
woman. and insisted there is no pub
lie policy that could justify such
damnation or error.
Carmack announced he would at
the proper time offer an amendment
to the pending resolution calling for
Smoot's expulsion.
Hansbrough held the Mormon
church's action in sending Smoot to
the senate was an offense agains.
good morals and characterized it as
another example of brazen effrontery
in defying public sentiment.
Foraker held that no testimony ex-
lists that would justify the declara-
ton that Smoot's seat is vacant. and
declared such would be a violation of
the oath of office and disregard of
the constitution and requirements OF
the case. He declared Smoot could
show a better character than the sem
ators generally could expect to at
tain.

FOREST RESERVE
POLICY SCORED
FULTON DEFENDED THE
TIMBER AND STONE ACT.
Scored the Forestry Bureau as a
Hatchery for Fraud, and Makes the
Statement That the Government
Never Lost Dollar Under the
Timber and Stone Act, But Mill
lions Under the Other.

Senator Fulton, in a rather acrimo-
nious speech in the senate on Monday
evening, arraigned the forestry Off
stone act, which was under consider
alton. A Washington dispatch says:
Comment regarding the increase in
the salary of Mr.. Pinchot, led Mr..
Fulton to make a general criticism
of the administration of this bureau.
The salary increase was agreed to be-
fore Mr.. Fulton took the floor.
II undertake to say" said he. that
of all the frauds that ever have been
nerpetrated on this government; of
all the losses this government has
ever incurred through the operation
of any department. 1t has lost more
and greater frauds have been perpe-
trated under the administration of
the forestry bureau than any other
department of the government"
Mr.. Fulton said much had been
heard about land frauds in the west,
but as a matter of fact the govern
ment had never lost a dollar under
the timber and stone act but had lost
millions of dollars under the admin
istration of the forest reserve statute.
Persons entitled to land in areas Of
forest reserve had been given scrip
for an equal quantity of land with
out regard to its quality outside such
reserves. Thus this vast area of most
magnificent timber land in the north
west had been taken by persons who
had secured worthless lands in other
sections.
Mr.. Carter suggested that the gen.
eral land office originally had ruled
that their scrip did not apply to hold
ings of land grant railroads; yester-
day the secretary of the interior had
reversed this ruling and had permit
ted the roads to exchange large areas
of their worthless lands for valuable
lieu lands.

GREAT DAMAGE BY YESTERDAYS THAN|

places north and east or here show
that the damage inflicted by the thaw
yesterday was almost as great as that
from the bad freshet a few weeks

Albert Harala, road supervisor for
the Adams district, reports that with
in his territory IA bridges were
washed out yesterday. Most of these
are along Wild Horse creek, while
much damage was also inflicted in
the vicinity of Fulton.
Equally bad reports have been re-
ceived by the county court today
from the Cold Springs section. Ac-
cording to COMMISSIONER Horace
Walker the roads and bridges on all

three Cold Springs canyons were
badly washed. According to the re-
port received the house belonging to
Ora Holdman, and located just be-
low the fork on Cold Springs, was
washed away by the torrent. Two
miles below Holdman a barn belong
ing to Tom Kerr was swept away
and about 800 sacks of wheat was
destroyed.
AT the former freshet 10 days or
more ago only portion of the snow
was taken off the region lying north
of this place. The warm weather
yesterday started the remainder to
melting and seemingly the result has
been more disastrous even than the
former chinook.

The government is seeking to in

from the land frauds in the west to

up sensational incidents pertaining to
