PORTLAND. April 4.-Thomas B.
Neuhausen. formerly with the United
States secret service, now a heavy tim
ber operator, and J. r. Beckley. real
estate man, had half hours fist fight
in Beckleys Office today.
The quarrel and fight were caused
by an alleged insult which Beckley is
supposed to have offered Mrs. Neu-
hausen.
The two went to Beckley's office and
the men began quarreling at once.
Beckley dared Neuhausen to hit him
and the latter "nade good" For sew
eral rounds the fight ragged and each
drew blood.
The fracas drew a crowd of spec
tators, who enjoyed it hugely, and all
the while Mrs. Neuhausen sat in a
corner of the office and urged her hus-
band on.
Eeuhausen drew black eye and
Beckleys face was badly bruised.
Mutual threats were made that they
would meet again.

The extent of the system will be de-

republican senate bills. Both parties
are eager to go before the country in
the presidential campaign claiming
credit for establishing a parcels post.
but the influence of the express com

be exerted to limit the scope of the
system as much as possible.
The opposition of these interests has
been paramount influence in congress.
but recently it has been weakening in
proportion to the growth of the popu-
lar demand for a parcels post. The most
striking development in the last few
months has been the inundation of con-

the first to urge that in the interest

ary 2s. In Chicago I was met by Fran
els j. Heney, perhaps one of the closest
and most intimate friends of Senator
La Toilette. Mr.. Heney, with regret,
in detail explained to me the political
situation. He stated that La Toilette
was not favorably known throughout
the east, that Misrepresentation ex
listed there in regard to his work and
character, and that La Toilette and all
of his leading supporters had argued
at the time he became candidate that
he should make a vigorous and ex-
tended speaking campaign; that per-
sonal campaign was absolutely essen
tiaI to get the progressive principles
before the people; that La Toilette had
agreed to start such a campaign as
early as the first week of October. and
to continue it vigorously until the
date or the Chicago convention; that
instead of doing this La Toilette had
put in his entire time getting out an
autobiography. and that in consequences
thereof his candidacy had lost Its VI
ta1ity.
