R.R. MAGNATES
PEACE PACT
TO Be BROKEN
ENTRY OF U. p. TRAINS TO
TACOMA WILL BE FURTHER
DELAYED If WAR BETWEEN
HILL AND HARTMAN Is RE-
NEWED.

Indications today are that the
Union Pacific will yet be COM
PEELED to build it's own line from
Portland to Tacoma before II can
get It's trains into the Puget
Sound country.
The peace pact' between Hill
and Hartman by which the lat
ter's u. P. trains were to have
Joint use of the Northern Pacific
line between Portland and Taco
ma has apparently been abrogated
by the Hill interests, according to
a United Press dispatch from
Portland received by the Times to-
day and the date for the enry
OF U. p. trains in Tacoma seem
farther remote.
Hartman officials here and IN
Portland deny that there is any
intention on their part to abandon
the plan of using the N. p. lima,
but indications are that the Hill
interests still have the whip hand
in the deal, although they refuse
to state that the agreement will
be broken.
That the deal has not bean
finally consummated; however, and
that 1t is still in such a shape that
the Hill people could abrogate It,
appears evident in view of the
skirmishing of the Hartman
forces.
New Weapon of Offense.
For the purpose of providing
another weapon of offense in the
war the Union Pacific today Is
arranging new fast train service
between Portland and Chicago
which is designed to clip several
hours from the present time
schedule.
The first train will leave Port
land Sunday afternoon and will be
known as the "Washington-Ore-
gon Limited" The train will leave
at 5:45 p. m. and will reach Chi
cago on the third day out of Port
land In the afternoon at 2:45.
N. p. Officials Absent.
General Manager H. G. Mutt of
the Northern Pacific is out on the
line with President Elliott and
will not return until tomorrow or
next day, so that no Information
could be gained from that source.
1t is expected that President Ell
liott will come here with General
Manager Mutt to look over the
terminals.

JOHN SMITH MEBTS

Word was received last night by

sides his mother, the boy is survived

Taft Stands Pat.

Washington, July 16.-Twenty-
three Republican congressman called
on Taft today and begged him not to
allow raw materials produced in their
districts to be placed on the free list.
Young. of Michigan, was the princi-
pal speaker and several others talked
The president did not give the callers
much encouragement. He said If the
material needed protection he would
see that they get it.
A last effort has been made by the
oonferees to induce the president to
consent to the striking out of the
corporation tax amendment, without
success. The president not only told
Senator Aldrich and Chairman Payne
that he would not withdraw from his
position in favor OF the tax, but he
was assured of sufficient votes to
keep the provision in the bill and to
insure its adoption in both houses.
The president reiterated this posi-
tion to several of his callers and is
said to have told them that he had
been absolutely confident from the
first of the enactment Of this tax into
law.
Pains were taken at the white
house to make Il clear that President
Taft did not send for Messrs. Aldrlch
and Payne on the occasion of their
conference, despite the intimation
given out in legislative circles that
these two leaders had been sum-
moned,by Mr.. Taft upon word reach
ing his ears that the corporation tax
was about to be dashed to pieces on
the rocks.
The conference, II was said at the
white house, had been sought by the
legislative leaders, who reported to
their colleagues that Mr.. Taft stood
solidly for the tax and would not re-
treat from his aggressive position re-
garding Il.

SANITARY DRINKING CUPS
FOR 0. A. R. FOUNTAIN

Sanitary cups, with which the d.
A. r. drinking fountain at Fifth
street and Broadway will be equip
ped, arrived this morning, and the
tin cups will be discarded. The sani-
tary cups were ordered when the
fountain was installed, but owing to
the fact that 1t was necessary to wait
until the factory could make the
order, the arrival of the cups was de-
layed. The cups are nickleplated
pipes that will make the water flow
as a miniature fountain. The mouth
of the cup will be up, and 1t will be
easy to obtain a drink. At present
the water runs from the fountain in
a manner that 1t is hard to reach
without the aid Of cup.
The warm days have found many
people agitating the installation of
coil around which ice could be packed
so that the water could be cooled.
The Daughters of the Revolution
feel that their work has been COM
pleted in presenting the fountain to
the city, and think that the city
should cool the water.

JAILBR BAKER is
STILL ON HUNT OF
PRISON BREAKERS

Disappointed but still hopeful of
recovering his prisoners. County
Jailer James w Eaker returned last
night from Clinton, where he went
to identify four men, suspected of be-
ing fugitives from McCracken coun-
ty. Mr. Eaker said the men when
described closely resembled the four
brass thieves as far as height, weight
and general features; but when he
saw the men he realized in a minute
that a mistake had been made. Not
desiring to have the men picked up
again by the police Jailer Eaker
gave them a certificate, stating they
are not the escaped prisoners. The
men are hoboes and protested their
innocence of any crime.
The men we're discovered in a corn
field and their actions were suspic-
ious. The sheriff of Hickman county
was out riding with his children
when he saw the men. He took his
children home and summoned assist
ance and returned to the field. Four
men were taken in charge, but a
fifth man escaped. They were not
locked up in Jail but we're guarded
during the night in the county court
house.
Many clews as to the probable To-
cation of the jail birds are received
at the Jail every day. Every clew
that seems reasonable Is run down,
but all have been fruitless. Jailer
Eaker is suffering with a severe cold
as the result of riding in the night
air looking for the prisoners.
