EIGHT MEN FOUGHT
POLICE OF LONDON
Six More, Bodies Found in
Ruins Result of Tuesdays
Noteworthy Battle.

LONDON, Jan. S-That there were
eight or more desperate men, armed
with the most modern of high power
automatic pistols, barricaded in the
Sydney street house during last Tues
days battle with the police and Scots
Guards, was proved today when search
ers came across six additional charred
bodies in the ruins. Two were found
Immediately after the battle.
In addition, the police found one of
the most complete coming plants they
have ever seen outside the royal mint.
AS many of the dies were for forcigp
coins, the continental police have been
notified and an interchange of cables
indicates to the police thar the men
were connected with an international
band of counterfeiters.
Perhaps the most startling admission
Of the police, however. is that the
dead men may have had no connection
whatever with the recent tragedy in
Houndsditch, when three unarmed po-
licemen were shot to death by a band
of robbers engaged in tunneling their
way into a large jewelry establish
ment.
1t is certain, however, from evil
dence obtained in the burned fortress,
that the dead men were connected with
the earlier Tottenham outrage, with
the notorious bank robberies in Scot
land, and with a number of other
daring crimes which Scotland Yard has
Jeen unable to fathom.
That the men were desperate for
eign criminals there can be no doubt,
but the belief is lessening that they
were notorious anarchists. In spite of
this, however, there are many officials
connected with Scotland Yard who
still maintain that the men were
merely engaged in counterfeiting and
other bold crimes to secure money
with which to carry on their propa-
ganda of anarchism and nihilism.

Heney AS Dark Horse
For u. S. SenatorShip

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 8.-This
city today is crowded with political
leaders from all parts of the State,
holding conferences on the fight for
United States Senator which opens in
the legislature tomorrow. Practically
every member of the incoming legisla'
ture is here for the private sessions in
behalf of various candidates in hotel
rooms this morning and afternoon.
That Francis ]. Heney, the graft
prosecutor, may be sprung as a dark
horse is the latest credited report. The
two leading candidates are A. G.
SpaIding, the sporting goods man, and
Judge John D. Works, of San Diego.
Spalding won a majority of districts In
the primaries and Works won a major
ity of the total vote in the primaries.
A deadlock is probable.

RECONSIDERATION OF BILL

House Votes Against Measure Pro-

Years-OregOn City Can Extend

Plants-Increase Revenues.

Salem, Ore, Feb. 15.-Unless the
bill is reconsidered the medical IT,
partment of the University of oregon
will suspend next year for lack of
funds. This afternoon the house vot-
ed against the bill providing for it's
maintenance for the next two years.
In its original form 100000 was
asked for a new building. The COM
mittee on ways and means cut out
the amount asked for a building and
allowed only $4,000 for salaries and
$4,000 for new equipment.
1t was learned today that Dimick's
bill allowing municipalities to extend
their limits was aimed directly at the
Portland Light & Power Co, which
has $3,000,0O0 pant at Oregon City
which would bring $4,000 additional
In taxation to the town if the limits
are extended.
The bill was passed a week ago
and the real significance was kept Sc
cret until today when it was too late
to reconsider. oregon City wants to
include also the paper mills in the
town so as to reduce taxation further.

Reply to Hitchcock.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The reply Of
the Periodical Publishers association
to the statement of Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock yesterday in support
of his proposal to increase the post
age on the advertising portions Of the
large magazines was made last night
in the form of a statement by the
postal committee of the association.
"Mr. Hitchcock entirely ignores"
the committee says, the fact that
second class mail is the chief proouc-
er of the first class postage that fl
nally saves the face of postoffice uai-
ance Sheets"
The publishers show advertisements
on which the postoffice department
had made ia per cent profit from
carrying magazine advertisements.
"Mr. Hitchcock instances one mag
azine, and perhaps the most profit
able periodical in the country, to
show that this periodicals recent in
crease in advertising rates resulted in
a profit of S917, los or enough to pay
its postage bill. The absurdity Of
this sort of long distance accounting
is obvious when it is explained that
the American magazine costs to edit,
manufacture, deliver and administer,
nearly twice as much as the publish
ers net from subscriptions.
"The difference made up from ad-
vertising is given to the subscriber
in his opportunity to purchase much
better article than his subscription
price will produce.

United Democracy Wins Vic

Treaty.
INSURGENT REPUBLICANS
ALSO SUPPORT EXECUTIVE
Measure Carries BY Big Majority AZ
ter Long and Bitter Debate-Ma-
jority OF Republicans Vote No
Democrats Welcome Taft and In
surgents Into Fold of Democracy.

Washington, Feb. 15.-President
Taft's reciprocity agreement, with
Canada was referred ia the house of
representatives last night. through the
support of an almost solid democrat
ic vote. The Mccall bill carrying the
agreement into effect was passed, 221
to 92
The majority Of the republicans
present voted against the measure
the division being IS nays and rs
noes. The democratic vote was 143
ayes and only five noes.
A majority Of the republican in
surgents present voted for the bill.
The Mccall bill now goes to the
senate. That it's fate will be in that
body Is problematical. President
Taft believes IL filibuster can be
avoided and a vote taken, the bill will
pass. He Is insistent that the senate
shall act one way or the other and
has indicated that he would call an
extra session of congress II It does not
do 80.
The passage of the bill in the house
came at the end OF long debate
that at times was as bitter as has
been heard on the floor of that cham
ber in years. The fight was confined
almost wholly to the republican side.
Democratic members Joined in from
time to time. and taunted the major
ity members for their lack OF unity.
The democratic leaders also put in
the claim that the reciprocity agree
ment was good democratic doctrine
and declared they were glad to well
come President Taft and many OF the
house republicans into the democratic
fold.

Blythe Charges Politics.

Washington, Feb. 15.-That not
economic, but political considerations,
is the underlying cause for the Taft
administrations determination to in
crease second class postage, is the
statement of Samuel G. Blythe,
well known Washington correspond
ent. Blythe maintains the whole
movement is destined to wipe out cer-
tain of those popular magazines
which have dared to criticize the
acts Of the Taft administration. He
says:
Copyright 1911 by the United
Press, by Samuel G. Blythe,)
Politics, and not the postal deficit,
is the underlying motive for the Id
ministration's attack on the maga-
zines and the periodical press through
increase Of second class postage.
Postmaster General Hitchcocks ex-
cuse for the move is the alleged pos
tai deficit; President Taft's excuse is
that he is supporting his cabinet min
lister who is trying to put the de-
partment on self-sustaining basis;
the administration senators who
tackled the amendment on the post
office bill have the excuse that the
president demands the increase.
They are making these excuses,
too, now that they are discovering
how thoroughly the people are arous-
ed on this matter of using the tax
ing power OF the government to con-
fiscate. That's what it amounts to
for the free press that dared to criti-
cize and condemn certain acts both
of the administration and Of the ad-
ministration's supporters in congress.
The question is bigger than one Of
money, either in the governments
purse or out OF the purses of the pub
fishers.
1t is bigger than even the interest
of even the thousands OF men who
will be thrown out of employment II
the publishing business is curtailed
as it will be II the proposed increase
of second class postage becomes law.
1t is a blow at that liberty guar
anteed by the constitution of the
United States and is subservitive Of
every American idea OF justice, Of fair
play and OF decent politics.

part of Detective Joe Pluver of the

confession of the shooting of Con-
ductor d. j. Reader in the Pullman

immediate vicinity of the shooting
and was quickly on the scene. OBJ

the affair he went to work and last
evening succeeded in obtaining the
written confession. Hill is now in
jail at Colfax, where he will be tried
on a charge which depends upon the
result of Conductor Readers fight for

struck the glass door with the butt
of his pistol to gain admittance, but
the first blow did not break the glass
and realizing that he might have
awakened someone he sneaked onto
the ground again and listened. Con-
ductor Reader was awakened by the
noise and walked to the rear of the
car. when Hill again climbed onto the
platform. Seeing the intrduer, Con-
ductor Reader shouted to him:
What are you doing here? Get out
of here" and started towards the
door. Hill covered him with his re-
volver and Reader kept advancing
until he reached the door and stop
ped. Hill says that he was then
about to retreat, when Conductor
Reader showed the door open with
his foot and it struck him on the fore
head and on the body, the jar and
shock contracting his muscles in such
way that the leveled revolver dis
charged itself into the breast of

fled at what he had done, explaining
that he had no intention Of shooting
the conductor, but merely was going

With the ugly bullet wound in his

battle Of life and death. At rate

those who are familiar with such cas-

Of the body does not begin to react
