HARRISON ELECTED
MAY0Rl0F CHICAGO
Merriman Lost Through Failure of
"Silk Stocking" Wards to
Show Expected Strength

CHICAGO, April Garter Harri-
son, democrat, was elected mayor of
Chicago today for the fifth time by
a plurality of 1902 over Professor
Charles E. Merriam, his republican
opponent. The final count Of 1910 pre-
cincts gave Harrison 1888 and
Merriam 160.276. Rodriguez. social
list. received 22,294 votes. The pro-
casts 5000 votes.
In conceding his defeat Professor
Merriam said he is satisfied with the
showing he made and it led him to
hope for a different result in another
contest. Scrutiny Of the returns show
that Merriam was given nearly seven
per cent less than given Busse four
years ago, while Harrison ran more
than IT per cent ahead of Dunno at
the last election.
The total vote reached approx
mately $500 or about 10000 more
than cast in the last mayoralty con-
test. In spite of this both sides
agreed that Merriam lost through
the failure Of the "alk stocking
wards to show the strength that had
been expected of them.
A democratic city council, with Al
democratic aldermen and 20 repub-
licans was chosen.

SENATE AND HOUSE
WILL Be IN DEADLOCK
emocrats Have Ambitious Pro-
gram While Taft Has Neck
Bowed for Reciprocity

WASHINGTON. April 4.-President
Taft's message deal ng with Canadian
reciprocity will be read in congress to-
morrow The democrats, however,
have formulated an ambitious pr ~
gram which includes revisions of
schedules OF tho Payne-Aldrich tariff
law. Republican leaders of tho sen
ate have announced there shall be no
tariff legislation. They declare they
are not alarmed at the threat Of dem
ocrats to hold back reciprocity until
&C ion is secured on tariff bills. This
difference promises soon to bring the
two branches into conflict. A leg sla-
tive deadlock Is predicted and tn"
length Of the session seems to depend
on how long the democrats of the
house will lombard tho senate with
general legislative bills.
President Taft has decided to con
centrate his attention upon rec 'procit'
with Canada and 1t was indicated to-
day he will not attempt to secure .,

ALASKA COAL CLAIMS
SETTLED FOR A TIME
Defendant Was Discharged, But
Case Will be Appealed to u.
S. Supreme Court

SEATTLE, April 4.-The supreme
court of the United States will sever
the gordian knot of Alaskan coal
claims as a result of an amicable
agreement reached by counsel for the
government and defense in the first
of the fraud cases to go before the
jury. The case was that of the
United States against Charles Mum
day and others charged with conspir-
acy to defraud the government of
coal land in Alaska valued at more
than s1OO,OO0,OO0. The agreement is
the result of a ruling of Judge Han
ford on motion by the defense last
week to dismiss the case on the prin-
cipal ground that the land law of
1873 did not cover Alaska.
Judge Hanford sustained this con-
tention. but overrules the motion on
the ground that the government
might prosecute the defendants for
having conspired to gain title to the
land for the benefit of the Pacific
Coal and Oil company. an alien cor
poration. After Judge Hanford's
ruling the opposing counsel decided
to make up the record upon which
the case can be reviewed by the su-
preme court. so when court openef
today the indictment was quashed
defendants discharged. an exception
taken and arrangements for appeal to
the supreme court made.

BULK CT HIS TRADE
DONE IN THIS VALLEY
Building Material Salesman Tells
of Experiences in Yakima and
Also His Idea of Pasco

"Two-thirds of all the business 1
did last year as salesman of buil1-
ing material was done in the Yakima
valley" said j. w. Martin of Portland,
who is a guest at the Washington
hotel. l wasn't surprised when
made up the totals but my house
was and couldn't understand it. And
| want to tell you of a little town
that you all laugh AT that has you all
backed to the wall when 1t comes to
growth and that is Pasco. You fell
lows can laugh and say what you like
about Pasco and declare that there
never will be anything to Kennew ok
but l want to tell you to forget it.
Those towns are growing and every
salesman on the road will tell you so.
This valley is ONE of the best places
in the country and those two towns
are the heaviest end OF It right now.
II do not think that the business
in my line will be as heavy this year
as ii was last | see no Indications of
it at the present TIME. 1t will be
good business. however. better here
than in other parts of the northwest
and development will continue, there
is no question of that"

to extend these rates to Portland, or
to any of the cities north of Seattle

ment. as when number of the Of

talking to Secretary James of the
Commercial club a few weeks ago in
regard to the matter, they were much
more liberal in the general trend of
their talk, though they made no
