WRECK OF
SAN JACINT0
Aberdeen Chamber of Com
cree Calls 70 Investiga-
ton of Cause.

For the purpose of establishing the
fact that the port of Grays Harbor
and incidentally the conditions north
os the north and south jetties were not
responsible for the wreck last Friday
of the steamer San Jacinto, the Aber-
deem chamber of Commerce will ask
that detailed account of the wreck
be given by the government and that
the conditions of the harbor at pres
ent be made known to shippers on the
Pacific Coast.
During the luncheon of the chamber
of commerce Tuesday the matter of
establishing the perfect safety of the
harbor was taken up and Secretary
Dudley G. Allen was authorized to
communicate with the authorities at
Seattle to get detailed statement of
the wreck.
As near as can be established, the
steamer was breasting a rough sea,
but no excuse it is believed can be
made by the captain for striking the
jetty. Other steamers passed out
safely at the same time.
Fog Blamed for Wreck.

by Captain Carlson and others as the
cause of the wrecking of his ship.

other ahead at other times.

COALITION
BILL PASSES
Democratic Free List Bill Is
Amended and Passed
By Senate
UP TO TAFT SOON
The Bill as Passed By House
Defeated By A Tie
Vote.
UP TO TAFT SOON

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 1.-The
democratic tariff program was moved
up closer to President Taft today when
the senate, by another remarkable
coalition of democrats and republican
insurgents, passed a farmers free list
bill after voting down the original
house measure so closely that one
more democratic senator would have
changed the result and left the en-
tire revision squarely before the presi-
dent tonight. The bill now goes back
to the house and Democratic Leader
Underwood of that obdy, tonight con-
fidently asserted it would be finally
agreed 10 in conference between the
two houses and sent to President
Taft.
1t is not certain that the house will
il sist on conference for many promi-
pent democrats who believe the bill
has not been materially changed, are
urging that the house adopt the SEN
ate bill without controversy and rush
the first tariff measure up to the presi-
dent
Had Senator Bailey of Texas, voted
with his democratic brethren, or had
Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
senator-elect from that state, been on
hand and voted with his party, the
free list bill would have passed the
4Gnr D.;
last night he hoped the privileges of
casting the deciding vote would fall
with him in order to show his opposi.
tion. Smith has insisted all along he
could not leave Georgia at this time
to assume his seat in the senate.
The house free list bill was beaten
on tie vote 80 to 80. This was then
reconsidered and changed by a COM
promise amended offered by Kern and
passed as amended by vote of 48 to
80. Originally the bill provided that
meat products, flour and cereal prod
ucts from all countries should be ad.
mitted free into the United States.
Kern's amendment provides this free
admission shall apply only to coun-
tries with which the United States
has reciprical trade agreements, and
which shall admit from the United
States free of duty corn, wheat, oats,
horses, cattle and hogs. 1t is admit
ted this provision applies only to
Canada, after the new reciprocity
agreement shall have become effective.
Bailey and Clapp and other insurg-
ents who voted for the free list bill
after the Kern amendment had been
adopted, declared tonight the amend
ment accomplished what they tried to
effect by amendments to the reciproc-
ity bill. 1t admits manufactured arti.
cles made from farm products free
from the Canadian end, which the in
slrgents repeatedly tried to gain in
the reciprocity fight
If Taft vetoes this bill and the wool
tariff bill, both of which it is as
serted will be sent to him, the demo
cratic leaders of the house will make
no further effort at tariff revision this
session, but will continue the prepara-
tion of tariff bills for the regular ses-
sion in December. If he signs either
measure, the whole tariff program of
the democrats would be opened up and
congress remain in session Demo-
cratic Leader Underwood made this
assertion tonight.

Ordinance Introduced to Con-
fine Soap Box Orators to
Certain Streets.
ATTY. HOGAN RESIGNS
Must Change Ward Lines.
May Buy Auto Fire
Engine.

City Attorney John G. Hogan, who
has been acting as the city's advisor
ever since the resignation of A. NJ.
Wade early in 1910, resigned last
night and his resignation was accept.
ed by the city council. Mr.. Hogan
gave as a reason for his action, stress
of business. 1t is said that the re.
fusal of the council to appoint an
assistant city attorney was also a
reason.
An ordinance regulating the dis
trict where street speakers can hold
forth was introduced. This follows
the recent activities in this city of
the |. w. w. The ordinance pro-
vides that street speakers shall con-
fine themselves to | street between
Hume and River streets and Broad
way between Hume and River streets.
The council considered the pur-
chase of combination auto fire ap-
paratus. The city is now in need
of more fire apparatus, and it is pro-
posed to get an auto truck when the
purchase is made.
Must Re.District City.
1t will be necessary to re-district
the city. The law provides that
there shall be but 25O voters in each
precinct. Aberdeen. with it's twelve
precincts, has outgrown this. A COM
mittee composed of one councilman
from each ward, was appointed by
Mayor Parks to take the matter up.
Councilman R. J. Hits of the
Fourth ward, asked that the ex-
penditure of 800 by the police de.
partment year ago be investigated.
Councilman Hits also spoke to the
effect that there is too large a police
force. The finance and police COM
mittees were instructed to investi-
gate Hits charges and report.
Councilman Elder asked that a
purchasing agent be appointed as he
has not time to attend to this part
of the work. being kept busy with
the auditing.
Mayor Parks took occasion to repri.
mand Councilmen Hits and Miles for
certain statements concerning the pc.
lice department which Parks consid.
cred to be exaggerated.
c. c. Quackenbush appeared before
the council and asked for certain priv
ileges in connection with the holding
of the Chehalis county fair in Alb
erdeen this fall.

NEW VIEWS AT COLUMBIA,
Pictures of House of Representa-
tfves Are Offered To-nfxht,

reproduction in moving pictures of
Speaker Champ Clark and MANY we'll
known officers and members Of the House
of Representatives. will be presented by
Lyman H. Howe at the Columbia Theater
tonight. The achievement is remark
able in several respects, and especially
in Photographic sense. To secure NOV
ing pictures of interior views is very diff
1cu!t, unless by installing strong arti-
flclal light, and on account of the SUBJ
dued nature of the light it has been deem
ed impossible to obtain excellent moy-
ing pictures in the House of Represen-
tatves.
But, undaunted by the dImness of the
light Mr. Howe recently undertook ex-
periments with a view of recording on
uny negatives Speaker Champ Clark and
MS officers occupying their usual posi-
tons in the House. These experiments
proved amazingly successful, and will be
presented for the first time on any stage
at the Columbia Theater tonight as a
hitting climax to a series of animated
views Of Washington.
