PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 15.-
When the police called Miss Irene
Albee, daughter of State Senator
Albee on the telephone today and
told her that a warrant was out
for her arrest on the charge of
speeding, the young woman laugh
ed heartily, believing it joke
perpetrated by some of her smart
society friends.
The joke became a grim reality
when a detective arrived at her
home and served the warrant. She
will be tried in municipal court
tomorrow.

EXTRA SESSION
ISTHREATENED
MAGAZINE PUBLISHERS
TO BLOCK TAFT'S POSTAL MEASURE.
CBy United Press Leased Wirc.)

QBy United Press Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Is.
Threats of forcing an extra ses-
sion of congress If the admins
tration adheres to its plan OF in
creasing the second-class postal
rate were freely made here today
by friends of those magazines
which 1t Is said the increase would
put out Of business.
The magazine publishers de-
clared they had received prom
ises enough from democratic and
progressive republican senators TO
insure a successful filibuster
against the increase. They plan
to talk the bill to DEATH" and by
holding up the entire postorfice
appropriation measure, make an
extra session necessary.

Taft VIII Stick

Great bitterness has developed
in the contest. 1t Is certain that
as long as Taft Is president he will
continue to recommend tho postal
increase, and shrewd political OBJ
servers say that In this far more
than in his reciprocity program,
lies danger to the presidents am
bition to remain in the White
House another four years.
The publishers here today laugh
at the administration ordering
United States District Attorney
Wise of New York to investigate
with a view to prosecuting the
magazines as a trust. They de-
clare they have no fear OF any
probe into their affairs and that
no business in the country Is OF
so competitive a nature.

Warrants

The city council this morning
passed a resolution for the sale
of the warrants to be paid to
Savage e Nichols for the Nisqual-
ly power plant work. The war
rants for the whole job will be
given them at once, to be market
ed and they will stand any dis
count there is and put the money
in the city treasury. They will
then be paid in cash as the work
progresses.
This plan was adopted because
the contractors found they could
market the warrants in lump,
but not in small patches.

(By United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Is.
The reciprocity agreement with
Canada, which passed the house
last night is liable to meet trouble
in the senate. Many senator's OPP
pose the plan, and filibuster is
feared.
The senate today received the
reciprocity bill, and at once re-
ferred it to the committee on
finance.
President Taft today is trying
to smooth the way of his pet
measure in the senate, partly by
argument with the refractory and
partly by threats of an extra ses-
sion, unless the bill is enacted.
Indications that he has little to
hope from the complaisance of the
progressives in the senate is af-
forded by the record of their
members action in the house.

MUST HAVE HALF a BILLION To
BE RICH SAYS ALDRRCH MAN
Henry F. Lippitt of Rhode
Island, Who Gave Or
ders to United States
Senate and Got Away
With it Will Now Sit In
Senate Himself - His
Apple Trees His Great
est Joy.
What is a rich man?
Do you know?


Is he a rich man if he owns a
hundred thousand or must he
have a million?
Go ask Henry F. Lippitt whom
Big Businessin New England
has chosen to succeed Nelse Aid
rich in the senate.
You are supposed to know be-
fore you go that Henry is rated
at something like SIS, 1000,
and so you start this way:
'Lippitt, you are a very rich
man, and"
Hold up says Lippitt. Guess
again. I'm not a rich man. I've
only got a dozen million dollars
or so, and that doesn't make me
rich. Now, when a man gets to
own half a billion you can be-
gin to call him a rich man and
not before. See the point
But you don't see-you're too
busy catching your breath.
It's almost two years since this
Croesus from Rhode Island went
to Washington with important
and imperative orders for the
United States senate. The orders
consisted of the cotton schedule,
which the cotton manufacturers
of New England had decided
should go into the Payne-Aldrlch
tariff bill. Lippitt and the rest
of them drew it up at a club
luncheon and the now senator
elect carried it to Aldrich and
SmOot

or course it went in.
This Henry F. Lippitt, who on
March 4 takes the senate seat of
Hired Man Aldrich, is rather an
interesting citizen. He is said to
be one of the flossiest yachtsmen
who ever sang out ship ahoy!"
He is a petted member of most
of the fashionable yacht clubs on
the Atlantic seaboard. He is one
of the few members of the swell
New York club who know the
difference between a balloon jib
and mainsail.
Also he is one of the rich cot
ton manufacturers of the FAIL
River district who know best
how to get the biggest dividends
at the outlay of the least wages
to women and children en-
ployes.
He doesn't represent the inter-
ests, he is one OF them. He prac-
tically dominates the Arkwright
club, and the Arkwright club in
turn dominates the American cot
ton mills outside of the south.
About a half dozen families con-
troll three-fourths of the cotton
spindles of New England, and the
bulk of cotton mills in America
are in New England.
Tariff Expert
These families have tens Of
thousands of employees and they
pay an average wage of $3.50 per
week per employe.
Lippitt is certainly a great tar
iff expert. He knows all about
cotton duties from A to 2 and
back again, and what they shoult.a
be-to give the members or the
Arkwright club the best oppor-
tunities to become rich men
half billionaires.
The new Rhode Island senator
was born in October, 1856. He was
graduated from Brown university
at 22 and started to work in
one of his fathers cotton mills.
Besides being the king-pfn of the
New England cotton manufacture
ers, Lippitt is closely connected
with the banking interests OF
Rhode Island.
He gets his biggest enjoyment
out of life by raising apples on
his farm. His apples have repu-
tation which spreads from one
end of the state to the other.
His Apple Trees
He Is proud of his apple trees.
Almost as much so as of his fam
lily tree, the American branch OF
which dates back to 1898, when
John Lippitt followed Roger VIII
liams to the Providence planta-
tions. John was a thrifty souf,
getting and holding" Some OF
the lots he staked off now COM
prise some of the most valuable
residential property in Providence.
The Lippitts have not been roll
ing stones. Henry now lives on
the land which was included in the
home lot of the original John
Lippitt. Like most immovabIe
stones, the Lippitts have gathered
some moss, not enough to give
Henry what he regards as a large
fortune, but Henry is young yet,
and Senator Aldrich has shown
how struggling senator can save
several millions out of the salary
Uncle Sam pays. IL he economies.

BLESSINGS WILL FOLLOW.

What blessings this will bring
down on this parish and city no hU-.
man being can begin to estimate.
The object OF this building is devoted
to the work of Catholic education.
Education and alteration both objects
are well united. BY no means the
least important part of education is
to train the heart of the child. To
make it appreciate blessings received
to make it love the beautiful and the
good. Surely there is no more fitting
place for such an education than under
the same roof with the source Of all
beauty and goodness.
To-day, then, my dear friends. let
us rejoice with the good sisters of this
convent, with the parish Of the Sacred
Heart and the whole diocese on the
completion of this beautiful building.
May those who have brought it to a
successful issue live long and see the
good work which 1t will accomplish
and after you and I shall have been
judged by the same Lord who dwells
within this tabernacle may this build
ing continue to preach to the world
the doctrine of the real presence OF
Christ in the Holy Eucharist and to
Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy
Sacrament of the Altar from hence
forth now and forever Amen
RECEPTION FOLLOWS.
After the services at the church had
been completed, the priests and people
returned to the convent, when, after
an informal and congratulatory talk
by the bishop, a fine musical program
with speaking and singing by the little
people, reception was given in honor
of Bishop Allen, in order that the pub
lie might be accorded the honor Of
meeting him, and also be allowed to
view the interior Of the fine new build
ing. Mother Superior Augustine, Of
New Orleans, was also a prominent
honor guest of the event.
A large number remained for the
program and the reception, which
