Omaha, Neb Dec. l5.--The estab-
lishment by the national wool grow
ers' of a factory for the manufacture
of wooden goods so as to give con
sumers better goods at lower prices,
was the proposition OF Magnus Brown,
president of the Minnesota Wool
Growers association in an address be-
fore the forty y-eighth annual eonven-
ton of the association today.
Mr. Brown said the prevalent I'M
preston that the present high cost OF
clothing Is due to the duty on wool,
is erroneous, and could be best refut-
ed by the manufacture of the raw
material into the finished product by
the wool growers themselves, so as to
eliminate the profits now secured by
the middlemen. He said:
Wool is the only agricultural pro-
duct not increasing in price. Whlle our
industry languishes the steel, oil, um-
Der and mining industries prosper
While we are in fear of bankruptcy
the greatest consumers of our pro-
duct are continuing to pay their
regular dividends"

Washington, Dec. 15.-Oppostion
to the senate program for immediate
action on the Sulzer house resolution
looking to the termination of the
Russian treaty of 1882, is developing
among some senator's. 1t is baseG
largely on the theory that any es-
Management between this country and
Russia would have the effect OF
bringing Russia into alliance with
Japan. with the result Of injuring the
oriental trade of the United States.
Many messages advancing this idea
were received today and in the mes
sage the senate was urged not to be
precipitate.
This view will be presented to the
eomnittee ON foreign relations when
i meets next Monday.
Senators Cullom and Lodge have
given assurance that the resolution
would be reported after the Monday
meeting, but even then il might not
succeed in getting through the senate
promptly. Senator Cullom has issued
his call for the committee to meet at
II o'clock Monday morning and he
said today he felt there would be ann
pie time Tor the consideration of the
resolution. Suggestion has been made
that Secretary Knox should be invit-
ed before the committee. but as the
committees course was practically
prescribed by the reference to 1t Of
the Russian resolution 1t has been de-
cided that 1t would not be consistent
to invite possible opposition to the
Immediate action contemplated.
Th.re Is !. possltllty or ultimate
delay on account of changes in the
resolution which would require the
concurrence OF the house. Most OF
the senator's believe the notice of alb
rogation provided for b. the treaty
must run for year after the first
Of next January, succeeding action
upon 1t. Senator Lodge has intimat-
ed his intention of offering an
amendment, making clear the lang
uage Of the Sulzer resolution to clear
this point.

sible tor the department to do any

Mr., Underwood said that to give
every one a fair show, an appropria-
lion of from $25,000000 to $4,000
goo would be necessary and the DEM
ocratic leaders do not want such a
bill to clash with their economy pro-

MARSHAL ARRESTS
BOX CAR THIEVES

City Marshal R. T. Lewis Saturday
arrested three alleged box ear thieves,
all of whom have criminal records, it
is said. The men gave the names of
John +. Stevenson, Albert Brooks and
John Condor.
The theft took place Thursday night
when through merchandise car at
tached to Portland bound freight
train was broken into during the brief
time that the train stopped here and
about $1,000 worth of goods removed.
Among the things stolen were cases of
shoes, underware, flannel shirts, cloth
ing and handkerchiefs. Marshal Lewis
found much Of the stolen goods had
been sold to japanese, who are work
ing on the railroad near here. The
Japanese had given the men about $50
for goods worth many times that
amount. When arrested Saturday one
of the men carried a package of the
stolen handkerchiefs. The goods were
recovered from the Japanese and the
three men were identified by the for
eigners.
The prisoners were bound over to
the circuit Court for trial and were
removed to the Wasco County Jail at
The Dalles.
Detective Ed. Wood, of the Nv. r.
4 N. Co., who came to Hood River as
soon as the arrest was made recognized
Stevenson as William Hooper, who two
years ago was tried for burglarizing a
jewellery store at Baker. Hooper was
convicted sof this crime and sentenced
to serve l8 months in the state peni-
tertiary. He had served a former term
in the Walla Walla prison.
The car from which the stolen goods
were taken made stop of twenty-five
minues here astsThursday night. Dur
ing that time the men captured by
Marshal Lewis broke open every case
of goods in it. The car had on it a seal
of the G. N. & w. r. r. From a wheat
car, routed from Thornton, Wash, next
to it the burglars took seal to re-
place the broken one. This was de-
tected as soon as an employee of the
| railroad company maze an inspection
on the arrival of theitrain. Telegraph
ic messages were sent to all the auth
critics along the line and resulted in
Marshal Lewis capture. The local
officer caught the men in the act of
pulling several pairs of shoes out of a
hollow stump IN the 'jungles. He
ordered them to throw up their hands,
and all did so, except Stevenson, who
complied only when the marshal drew
back his revolver, threatening to
shoot The total value of the goods
stolen is estimated at $500. One large
case is still missing. it is thought
that it is cached somewhere in the
''jungles. "
