Crop is
InFine Shape

MILTON, Ore, Mar. 13.-(Special)-
The Fruit Growers Union yesterday
received another car of spray. Spray
ing has already been going on for a
few days but it has not been taken up
by everyone yet The bad winter just
passed has been just right to assure
a good crop of fruit. The sap has
been kept back long enough to prevent
any great danger of damage by frost.
The continued snow has left much
moisture in the ground, essential to
large crops. Quite a number of the
peach growers have given their opin-
ion that the peach crop will be enor-
NOUS Last year there were practical
lv no peaches at all, but it seems that
this year will have one of the biggest
yields on record.
Apples, pears, prunes and berries
which yielded well last season have a
much better chance to produce big
crons than before.
The Fruit Growers Union expects
to do a business worth upward of a
quarter CT a million dollars this year,
and the other packing Nouses will have
a proportionate increase.
Mrs. Henry, who has been confined
to her bed for some time by some
trouble win her foot, is to be taken
to the Walla Walla hospital today.
Her case has been persistent and shows
very little change for some time, so it
was thought best to take her where
she could receive constant and more
careful attention.
The little baby Of Frank McQueens
has been placed in a private home near
Spokane The baby's mother died a
short time ago, and left three children
who have all been taken by friends.

WASHINGTON, Mar 13.-The bill
requiring compulsory publicity for
election campaign contributions and
expenses was reported out today by
the house committee on elections, OF
president, of yicA president and mem
bers of congress, with a favorable
recommendation The bill was intro
duced by Representative Mccall, re-
publican, of Massachusetts,.
Action on the measure was accomp-
lished after prominent men VINO have
been advocates of the measure had
brought much pressure to bear The
bill had been il the committees hands
since the session began.
Recently Perry Belmont of New
York, Governor Judson Harmon Of
Ohio, and DR.. Charles w. Eliot, for
mer president of Harvard, addressed
letters which have appeared in print,
deploring the inactivity in the matter
and demanding that the committee
take some action.
The democratic members Of the COM
mittee, led by Representative Rucker
of Missouri, after petitioning Chair
man Gaines of the committee several
times to call meeting of the commit
tee to consider the bill, a few days
ago gave out statements strongly de-
nouncing the republicans for holding
up the bill" It was declared that the
democrats were solidly in favor of the
Mccall treasure,
When the committee convened to-
day it was with great difficulty that
a quorum was obtained. After waiting
for an hour and a half, sufficient re-
publican absentees were found. The
bill was taken up at once and with
slight amendment was approved, the
democrats voting for it and the re-
publicans being divided.
Those voting for the bill were Repre-
sentatives Rucker of Missouri, Hard
wick Of Georgia, Conroy of New York,
democrats, and Ellis of Oregon, re-
publican. Representative Sulloway of

Burned SUNDAY

PITTSBURG, Mar. 13.-President
Taft today attended the funeral or
Mrs. Taft's brother in-law, Thomas
Nick. Laughlin, and left on an early
train tonight for Washington, where
he is due at S:25 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
The circumstances of Mr.. TaftS
yisit to Pittsburg were perhaps the
sa ldest that have ever confronted
president. The tragic ending of Mr..
Iaughlin's life on Friday, the gloomy
day, with fitful falls of rain, the silent
home on WoodlaWn road, the quiet
ceremonies and the little procession of
garages to the Allegheny cemetery all
constituted a sombre picture.
The president reached the East Lib
erty section of Pittsburg at o'clock
this morning and was driven immed-
lately to the Laughlin home, where
ten months ago he was surrounded by
a gay company at Sunday afternoon
tea.
Mr. Taft looked worn and pale, after
his night on the train Mrs. LOUIS
doore of Cincinnati, who has succeeded
Mrs Laughlin as companion to Mrs.
TAFT at the White House, accompanied
the president Mrs. Taft was unable
10 come.
At the Laughlin home the family
was joined by Mrs. Charles Anderson,
also of Cincinnati, another sister Of
Mrs. Taft.
The funeral services were held at
the residence at o'clock this alter
noon Only the family and close
friends of the Laughlins were present.
judge John w. Heron, of 'Cincin-
natl. father Of Mrs. Laughlin and Mrs.
Taft, was unable to be present because
OF serious illness. Irwin B. Laugh
! lin, brother of Thomas Laughlin, Sec
rotary Of the American embassy at
| Berlin, oabled a message of condOl-
ence.
Mrs. T:ft sent a wreath of flowers
| RIM the White House Conservatives.
Relre sentative and Mrs. Nicholas
iLcnsWC nth and friends from vari nus
cities sent beautiful floral offerings
and messages, of sympathy.
The Rev Maitland Alexander, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church,
conducted the brief ceremony at the
house and at the grave, where the
mourning party was sheltered from
the eyes of curious onlookers by "A
white tent stretched above the family
burial place.
Following the funeral, the president
went for a long automobile ride.

New Bond Issues
Tighten Interest

NEW YORK, March 13.-A large
aggregate of new bond issues offered
for public subscription by syndicates
last week, made large requirements
on the supply of banking credits and
frightened the interest rates for mon
ey. The influence was felt partic-
ularly in the rates for time loans.
Prices at which new railroad bond
issues were offered showed the ex-
pensive conditions operative and the
offerings were not absorbed with such
a rapidity as to indicate any keen
appetite for investment on the part
of capital The condition is attrib-
uted to the influence Of the general
level of prices in all departments as
the result of a large increase in the
worlds gold circulation. The large
number of bonds offered by irrigation
companies at high rates makes an eff
fective competition for capital.
The fact that large amounts of the
new bond issues have been placed
with foreign subscribers afforded re-
lief to the foreign exchange market
and reduced rates there to below the
level of profit of gold exports. In the
SIOCh llldIhtl, hO"CNCA, -
continued to sell stocks in New York
attracted by advancing prices. The
merchandise balance holds against the
United States by reason Of reduced
exports. The London money market
shows clear sym ptoms of hardening
with the prospects of heavy govern
ment borrowing and the wild spec
ulation in rubber and other shares
in that market.
The stock market in New York was
supported by the powerful banking
interests engaged in the f1otation of
bonds issued. The speculative out
look, nevertheless, was felt to be
mixed, although the rising stock mar
ket had an encouraging effect on SEN
timent. Demand for steel products
was reported improving. The Feb
ruary copper statistics were disap-
pointing, deliveries into consumption,
especially for export, falling off large
ly from January, while the rate of
production rose.
The increase in New York Central
dividend rate gave rise to hopes of
other increases. The advance in the
stock market was interpreted as re-
fecting confidence of corporation in
terests in the outcome of pending
government law suits.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 13.-Although
the father hurried to this city on d
special train from Baltimore and sub

his son, who was lying near deaths

Hopkins, founder of the university that
bears his name, died today.
The boy had laid in Providence hos

to two operations the physicians de-
