Washington, May 1S.-The discus
sion as to whether high prices in this
country are caused by the tariff or
eXtortion of jobbers and retailers, oc-
oupied the senate today. The discus
sion arose in connection with the res
olution introduced by Senator Gore
of Oklahoma, who is demanding a
committee to investigate this condi-
ton.
Carter of Montana, opposed the
resolution, suggesting that the same
investigation was already provided in
the pending amendment to the tar
if bill.
Senator Gore insisted that a select
committee could report within three
weeks whether or not the examples
recently shown in the senate regard
ing prices were raised between the
manufacturers and the consumer.
This was denied later by Carter, say
ing that such an investigation would
require two years. He made a strong
protection speech and asserted that
the democrats were requesting in
formation already available, and
which members should have learned
for themselves.

New York, May 1S.-In a strenu-
Gus attack upon unionism, President
James Van Cleave today opened the
convention of the national association
of manufacturers In his report he
defended the aggressive policy pur-
sued by officers in their contest with
labor leaders.
Referring to the sentences imposed
on the labor leaders, Mitchell, Comp
ers and Morrison, he said: eve de-
feated them in Washington, and then
the conspirators massed their forces
the national republican convention in
to sanctioning their un-American
propaganda"
He continued; with cunning in
gendered by a quarter of a century OF
duplicity, the labor leaders then
transferred their field to state legis7
1atures. Let me warn this association
that under the cloak of legislation for
defense, or pretended defense, of
working women and children, insid-
ious attempts will undoubtedly be
made by politicians of trade unions
to get special favors for their organ
izations"
Van Cleave favors an amendment
providing tariff board. as suggested
by the finance committee of the sem
ate. He referred to the Menace OF
permitting immigrants TO become in
fluenced by federation which de-
crees its leaders to be above. law"

PHILADELPHIA DON'T LIKE
JACK JOHNSON'S ORATORY

Philadelphia.-Jack Johnson, the
heavyweight champion, who will meet
Jack O'Brien here next Wednesday,
is not popular in this city despite the.
fact that the seat sale for next weeks
fight is the biggest ever held in this
city, with prices at SO, s5 and $40 a
head
The giant negro went to the Ma
tional club tonight, where he was in
troduced prior to the Klaus Mans
field exhibition. Johnson walked to
the center of the stage and tried to
make a speech.
Cut it out! Nothing doingl You
can't do that here!" and other cries
filled the air.
After trying to be heard for more
than five minutes, he took seat.
much chagrined. Johnson told all of
his friends here that he would do his
best to knock out O'Brien next We'd
nesday night and declared he would
carry the fight to the loca! man.
AS this is just what O'Brien wants,
there is likely to be a good deal doing
before they get through, even though
the bout is for six rounds only.
Frank Klaus and Harry Lewis were
to have fought here tonight but Lew
is has influenza and an exhibition be-
tween Klaus and Mansfield, the Eng
lish scrapper, was substituted.

ADVANCE WHEAT At

tilla County-All Think That it
VIII go for at Least Eighty Cents,
However-Aiany Anxious TO Sell.

Wheat buyers wishing to contract
the coming wheat crop of Umatilla
county farmers at 81 per bushel can
have practically the entire crop of the
county at that figure. That is the
opinion of a number of local buyers
and prominent growers, interviewed
today following the report from Port
land that eastern Oregon farmers
were contracting their wheat at 81
Not much stock is taken in the an
nouncement here that buyers are
contracting in advance for wheat at
this figure, Everyone interviewed to-
day was of the opinion that wheat
would be worth between so cents and
one dollar and all agreed that the
bulk of the crop could be had for one
| dollar. Many are even willing to
contract at prices below one dollar.
The following relative to the pro-
position is taken from the Portland
Journal:
Wheat buyers are contracting with
eastern Oregon farmers for the crop
of 1909 at 81 a bushel. Many wheat
growers are glad to accept such a
price for the growing grain, others
will hold for higher price
Dollar wheat doesn't tempt me at

heaviest wheat growers in Gillian
county ct the Imperial last night. Mr..
Cooke has several thousand acres
planted to wheat this year. Much of
1t, he says, is now more than IA inches
high and promises an unusually good
crop. But l am convinced" he ad-
ded, that the prospects for a crop
in the wheat belt of the central states
is so poor that wheat raised in Ore
gon this year will realize much bet
ter than 81 per bushel. With a suf-
ficiency of rain at the present stage
of the wheat's growth Oregon should
produce one of the largest crops in
the history of the state. Under any
conditions the crop should be good"

ECHO WOMAN SAVED
TRAIN FROM DITCH
Especial correspondence.j

Echo, Ore, May 1S.-Through a
break that occurred in the Furnish
ditch early this morning a section of
the ditch and piece of o. r. n.
track was washed out. A section Of
track 20 feet long and 10 feet deep
was taken out. However the track
has since been repaired temporarily
and is again being used. The break
in the ditch has also been repaired.
The break occurred near the Fish
aid Toft ranch two miles below the
headgate of the canal. It was dis
covered about o'clock this morning
by Mrs. Peter loft. At that time O.
freight special, No. SS7 westbound,
was nearing the place where the
washout had occurred. Seeing the
danger Mrs. Toft rushed upon the
track and signaled the engineer to
stop. Had it not been for her pres
ence of mind in the matter the freight
train would doubtless have been
wrecked.

Won't you take my baby rather than
one from an institution? I've been
told that you could give her better

Railroads Decide to Comply
With Orders of Commerce
Commission.
WILL REDUCE RATES TO
ALL INTERIOR POINTS
Said That New Railroad Rates VIII
Go Into Effect on July twill Give
New Schedule for All Cities East
of Missouri Not on Pacific Coast
New Rates Will Be Based on Spo-
kane Decision--Wfn Mean An
Average Reduction of About Eff-
teen Per Cent Below Present Rates.

Chicago, May 1S.-The Record
Herald says today:
A new freight rate schedule from
ali the territory east of the Missouri
river to all the western cities not To-
Gated on the Pacific coast will go in
to effect on the transcontinental lines
July /.
The new rates will be based upon
the rates which the interstate COM
merce commission ordered the rail-
roads to put in from st. Paul and
Chicago to Spokane and will be an
average reduction under the present
rates of about Is per cent.
The railroads decided to do this in
stead of fighting the order Of the
commission in the courts. The de-
cision resulted from visit of j. c.
Stubbs, traffic director of the Harri-
man lines, to the commission in
Washington last week. Conferences
are being held in Chicago at which
the new tariffs are being prepared.
General Reduction.
One of the officials who is attend
ing said.
1.-THE railroads have decided to try
10 carry out the principle announced
by the commission in the Spokane
rate decision instead of appealing u
the courts to prevent such a reduc-
tion i'm our revenue. The result Will
be a general reduction of all the rates
from the vast territory west of the
river, save that along the coast. 1t
will also mean reduction in many
rates from the west to many eastern
points. 1t will be a voluntary reduc-
tlon by the railroad solely in the hope
Of satisfying public opinion, as in the
opinion of the country our rates are
too high.
