ADULTERATED LEATHER.
English Dealers Object and VIII Take
Action.

London, Feb. 15.-While the Amer
ican leather trust, so-called. is having
its own troubles at home, more trou-
BILE is brewing for il on this side of
the water. Custom house officials at
various oprts have just discovered
that the leather exported to this
country from America is being adul-
terated by glucose. Leather is sold
by weight, and American exporters.
it is said, have been in the habit of
adding to it from Is to 80 per cent of
glucose with the object of increasing
the weight. As glucose is a dutiable
article, large consignments of glucose
loaded leather have accordingly been
held up at various ports, and the i'm
porters have to pay duty.
The London leather merchants de-
clare that the question is likely to
have a serious effect on the price of
leather in the near future. More than
half the leather imported into Eng
land comes from the United States,
and the leather trust is accused by
the British merchants of resorting to
the "sugaring" process in order to in
crease its already enormous profits.

Washington, Feb. IA deadlock
threatens the immigration bill in the
senate. This afternoon several south
erners who opposed action yesterday,
strongly opposed that portion of the
hill seeking to strengthen the alien
contract law They also prevented
action the last session. While dis
claiming any intention to filibuster, it
is hinted that they may prevent final
action by this congress.
Those in charge of the conference
renort expressed their fears to the
president and advised withdrawal
from the report of the provision af-
tecting the Japanese situation. They
suggest the advisability of enacting
legislation to conform with the Joint
resolution.
The president, however, insists up
on the retention of the provisions of
the conference report. The sugges-
tion by Tillman and Bacon that the
Japanese situation be made separate
legislation is obnoxious to the presi-
dent, who informed his visitors to-
day that such a plan will cause deep
offense TO the japanese government,
and that 1t would create new compli-
cations instead of abating the old in
ternational crisis.
The aim of the administration is to
enact Legislation to meet the demands
of the Pacific slope without humiliat-
ing Japans pride. The president feels
this can only be done during the con-
sideration of a measure dealing with
the general subject of immigration
Shortly after the opening of the

$3.50. 900 FOR UNIVERSITY.
Quarter of n Million Given OreGon's
biggest School.

For maintenance for the next two
years the University of Oregon will
receive from the state $250,000, un-
less the house bill making that ap-
pgopriation. which passed the senate
yesterday afternoon, Is vetoed by the
governor, says a Salem dispatch. The
appropriation bill met with consider
able opposition, on the ground that
too large a maintenance fund was be-
ing established. Some of the senator's
believed that the university should
have generous appropriations for all
its needs but that part of the total
SUN should be devoted to betterment
Of the university and new buildings.
Senator Smith of Marion county,
said that the state has the beginning
of a great educational institution at
Eugene. and that II the state could
afford It as much as 100000 ought
to he given for the development of the
university. He believed, however,
that the appropriations should be seq
regated, instead of being voted in u
lump sum. Senator Coke said:
1--WE have Just voted $37,500 year
FOR the agricultural college, which has
more than 500 students. If the agri-
cultural college with that number of
students can get along with sS7,500 a
year for maintenance the university
certainly does not need s125,000 n
year for maintenance when 1t has less
than half as many students as the ag-
ricultural college,"

TRIAL OF CORPORAL KNowL
Charged as Principal In the Browns
Vile Riot.

Fort Sill, OKLA, Feb. 1o.-Shackled
and closely guarded, Corporal
Knowles, colored, appears here today
before a general courtmartial charged
with attempting to murder Captain
Edgar B. Macklln at Fort Reno on
the night of December 81. First Lieu
tenant William F. Herringshaw of the
Thirteenth cavalry, is the Judge advo-
cate of the courtmartial, and Major
Goodyear assistant judge advocate OF
the United States army is present
Watching the proceedings.
The prisoner is one of the dis
charged members of the 25th infan-
try, which took part in the Browns
VILE, Texas, affair. After the alleged
attempted murder of Captain Mack
lin, the prisoner was transferred to
Fort Sill at his own request, and a
special order for a trial here was is
sued by Brigadier General McCaskey
of San Antonio, commanding the de-
partment of Texas: The trial is ex-

New York, Feb. 15.-Fearing that
Jerome will become satisfied Thaw is
really insane and call lunacy COM
mission and order the trial stopped
and the defendant sent to an asylum
for the criminally insane, the prisoner
declares he would rather go to the
electric chair than to a madhouse.
His attorneys will be compelled to
use the incest flnesse to prove Thaw
insane at the time of the shooting,
but sane now, and thereupon secure
his absolute freedom. In making
their statement they likely overreach-
ed and have given the prosecution
weapon to secure his lire imprison-
ment in an asylum where confine-
ment with other insane will probably
aggravate his nervous ailments and
preclude the possibility or his ever
being declared cured.
Should the attorneys for the de-
fense on Monday ask for an insanity
commission for the examination of
Thaw there will be no opposition by
the prosecution. This is the gist of Il
statement emanating from the dis
trict attorneys office this morning.
Jerome is not quoted, but IT is be-
leved he inspired the announcement.
4 flood of speculation followed,
and all sorts of theories were ad-
vanced. II is believed jerome has
good reason to believe the defense
will request commission, 1t being in
timated that Thaw's mother has de-
cided It to be the best way TO save
the family honor, and her sons life.

Cuts Off Interest Graft.

the house this morning killed house
bill No. 573, introduced by the ways

a precedent against the payment of
interest on certificates of allowance of
claims against the state which has
been the custom ever since the his
tory of the state began, whenever a
deficiency Of funds occurred.
The bill carried an appropriation
of 100000 for the payment of inter-
est on deferred claims and it affects
bankers and brokers principally who
have made it their business heretofore
to cash the certificates of state en-
pivyes and business men furnishing
supplies to the state, etc.. at dis

STATE CONVICT LABOR.
Interesting Statistics From State Of
Massachusetts.

Boston, Feb. 15.-Accordlng to the
labor bulletin just issued the total
number of convicts in the 10 insttu-
tions in the state is 5916, of which
5215 are males. OF the whole num-
ber, AZ per cent are engaged in pro-
ductive labor, 40 per cent are en-
gagged in prison duties, per cent are
Ill, and IA per cent are idle either be-
cause of lack Of work or because they
are purposely kept in confinement
without labor.
The value of the convict made goods
during the last year is estimated at
$1,O25,935 so the average value pro-
duced by each convict was about
$40. OF this about s131 represented
the labor factor, and as the appro-
priation for each convict (less funds)
was $243, it is seen that the average
convict, even If employed pays only
about one-half the cost of keeping
him. The articles produced by con-
vict labor in this state do not enter
largely into competition with similar
products, but in other states products
of convict labor compete with free
labor.

TWO "CLEAN|NG DAYS" FOR PENDLETON

That Pendleton should set aside
two days this spring as cleaning
time" is the sentiment of num-
Der of leading citizens who have ex-
pressed themselves upon the subject
this week.
At the time of the high water last
spring a large amount of rubbish
was washed into back streets and
with the accumulation of the present
winter, this supply has been largely
increased
1t is hoped to enlist the women,
the churches, the lodges, the business
men and property owners in the
movement and have two full days set
aside, some time during the early
spring after the snow has disap-
