To Raise Pension Of Scalped
Clerk.

Senator MARITIME will call up in tho
Senate at an early date. probably today,
the question of reconsidering the bill al
lowing $4,000 for the relief of Miss
Alice V. Houghton. He will endeavor
to have the amount increa sed to $50.
In view of the fact Senator MARITIME
succeeded yesterday. without a fight. in
having the bill recalled from the House
lie Is hopeful of getting the Senate TO
consent to the increase.
Senator MARITIME has canvassed the
situation, and he said he believed the
Senate would agree to the increase. He
feels that in view of the suffering un-
scalp was torn off by one of the tabu-
laung machines at the Census Bureau,
the sum of $500 Is none too much.
Opposition, however, will be forth
coming when the bill comes up, and il
viii not be plain sailing to get it in

AS the date for the Men and Re
liSion Forward Movement conven-
ton in Walla Walla draws nearer,

Progressive Laws, Originating in This State Rapp-
ed With Presidents Approval
VOTERS ARE DECLARED TO Be INCOMPETENT
Wckersham Speech in Interest of Taft is Full of RdicuIe
of Popular GOvernment---L La Toilette is Still In Race
---Teddys Old Foe Dons War logs

st. Louis, Mo. Feb 17.-Progres-
sive policies. particularly those for
judicial reform, were called "insen-
safe" in a speech, endorsed by Pres
ident Taft and delivered by Attorney
General Wickersham before the City
club here this afternoon in direct in
terest of President Taft's renomina-
ton.
Mr.. Wickersham sarcastically re-
ferred to the initiative and referend-
um as "postal card 1awmaking' and
declared that popular legislation and
direct primaries destroyed the dignity
of office, resulting in driving from
the field the class of men formerly
thought most desrahle-those the Of
flee seeks, not those seeking office"
He said in part: There has been
much nonsense concerning the So
called usurpation of power by the fed
eral judiciary, in pronouncing laws
of state legislatures or congress un-
constitutional
The very nature of our written
constitution implies that representa-
tives of the people can exercise only
IiiC ppN CIS COHleIIeu upon C1efn Dy
the constitution and the judiciary
must necessarily judge void, an act
which is not authorized by the consti-
tuition
This does not suppose the super
iority of judiciary legislative power.
1t only supposes the power of the
people is superior to both and that
where the will, on legislature, stands
in opposition to the will of the pow
er, declared in the constitution, judges
ought to be governed by the latter.
Il am in entire sympathy with the
reasons that led to the enactment of
laws, providing for the nomination of
candidates by direct election, but the
system, by which laws are made by
postal card and by popular petition
tends to destroy the office so as to
make it unattractive to those who
might otherwise even subject them
selves to the scramble of the primary
in order TO reach the field of public
usefulness"
In conclusion he recommended
longer terms and more salary as a
means of bringing better men to the
bench.

liminary examination Wednesday and
We're held to await the action of the
federal grand jury. which is in ses-
sion. Many of the investors in the
bonds and other securities of this cor
poration reported to United States
District Attorney McCourt yesterday
and gave testimony before the grand
jury which is inquiring into the ope-
rations of this concern.
That indictments will be returned
against Beihl and possibly McWhort-
er' who was arrested yesterday at Sc
attle, is regarded more than prob
able judging from the nature of the
testimony that is being volunteered
by victims against the officers of the
company under investigation.
Dolly since the announcement was
made that the orchard company had
gone into the hands of a receiver, in
vestors in bonds have appeared before
the federal district attorney with tes-
timony which serves to show that the
operations of the orchard company
were at least irregular when the linz
itations of the government postal reg
ulations are considered
As has been announced, it is the
intention of United States Attorney
McCourt to make thorough investi-
CATION of the operations of several al
legged snide real estate and promo
tion agents with view to determin-
ing whether the postal laws have been
transgressed. When violations of this
statute are disclosed from this inves-
tigation, prosecutions will follow.
The extent to which the pending
inquiry will proceed depends entirely
on the limitation OF the activities of
the federal grand jury now in session.
The life of this jury expires March 2,
and it is already has Its hands full
with other business if it completes its
work in time for adjournment.

the business interests of the country

President Taft call a nation wide

pose OF settling the big business prob
lens of the day." George Perkins, the

bower of ]. Pierpont Morgan, today
reviewed the present business and
political situations.
He stated that his trip across the
country had convinced him that
there is a lack of confidence in the
present business program.
THE feeling seems general that the
dissolution of corporations is not the
solution of the trust problem" he
said, and stated that some other
means must be found to cope with
the situation.
He said that congress is playing the
game of politics too hard for any re-
lief to be expected from that quarter
Mr.. Perkins declared that much

FEDERAL ORAGNET CATCHES ALLEGED FRAUD
PROMOTER WELL KNOWN IN PENDLETOl

IL. II. McWhorter. erstwhile head
of the Inland Telephone company
with headquarters at Pilot Rock, and
who may be remembered by MANY To-
cal people because of some sensation
al speeding on Main street when he
sought to get Asa b. Thomson to n
train one evening. is now in the tolls
In connection with rne DeLarm op-
Grafton. He was fined in the police
court for his excessive speed.
The following story concerning Nc
Whorter is from the Oregonian of
yesterday:
With the surrender yesterday at
Seattle of r. H. McWhorter of Taco
ma, secretary and trust officer of the
oregon & Washington Trust com
pany, subsidiary corporation of the
Columbia River Orchard company, the
federal dragnet around the promoters
OF this alleged spurious concern was
drawn closer. McWhorter also is sec
retary-treasurer of the Washington
Orchard Irrigation & Fruit COMPANY.
He surrendered himself to United
States District Attorney Elmer E.
Todd, of Seattle on complaint of
Henry ID. Temple, postoffice Inspector
who charged him with using the mails
to defraud
McWhorter was an important wit
ness in the bankruptcy hearing in
connection with the irrigation COM
pany in the federal court one week
ago, and at that time declared that
he had no official knowledge of the
many transactions carried on, being
more of dummy officer than the
confident of either DeI.arm or Biehl.
He gave as his opinion that the CO.
lumbia Orchard company had been
organized simply to defraud the bond
holders and creditors of the other
concerns.
Discovery Wednesday of the ac-
counts, lists of bondholders and cor
respondence of DeLarm by Receiver
Louis p. Sichler of Seattle, is said to
be the most important development
thus far of the investigation into the
companies.

WALLA WALLA GIRLS
BEAT LOCAL C0-EDS

In what is chara acterized as the fast
est and most scientific basketball
game ever played by girls in this city,
the Walla Walla high school co-eds
last night in the Armory evened up
scores with the local girls by defeat
ing them by 2 t. 10 score. At no
time was it possible to predict the
onutcome so closely matched were
the two teams and it was only by
converting two more fouls into goals
than did the locals that the Garden
City maidens were able to come forth
victors.
Four field baskets We're secured
by each team while the visitors made
four points from fouls to the home
teams two.
In the first half, the Walla Wallans
took the lead. the score standing s
to 4 in their favor when the whistle
blew, but in the last half, the Pendle-
tonians were able to make six while
their opponents only registered four.
Miss Ruth Wise, coach of the local
team, expressed herself as being en-
tirely satisfied with the showing made
by her team last night. "They never
played better" she said, land there
is but little difference between the
two teams. The Walla Walla girls
were stronger than when we met
them before but even at that they
were no better than we were Both
of us have a game apiece to our
credit and we are botn satisfied"
Following the game, a dance was
given by some of the students in hon
or of the visitors and an enjoyable
time was had.

STRAIN FIGHTS PLAN
UNJUST TO UMATILLA
At Salem Meeting Opposes
State Collection of
R. R. Taxes

Returning this morning from Sa-
lem where he attended the meeting
of the assessors of the state held in
conjunction with the tax committee
of the legislature and the state tax
commission, Assessor C. p. Strain ex-
presses himself as fairly satisfied
with the results obtained though he
differed with many present as to the
policies to pursue in some instances.
At the outset of the meeting AS
SCISSOR Strain led the opposition to
approval of all thes measures submit
ted. He opposed a blanket endorse
ment of all the bill proposed and es-
pecially fought the proposed amend
ment which looks to paving the way
for giving to the state government all
the money raised from the taxation
of railroads and other public service
corporations. Such an amendment as
that will be left to vote of the people
next fall as result of action taken by
the last legislature.
Assessor Strain opposes the amend
ment for the reason that such
change would work a loss to Una
tilla county and other counties which
like Umatilla have considerable rail-
road mileage. 1t would work for the
benefit of Multnomah. Mr. Strain
opposes the amendment on the ground
such a change would tend to invite
eXtravagance by the legislature.
BY action of the recent meeting
bills will be submitted the people pro-
viding for the exemption from tax
alton of all household and personal
effects; for the exemption of credits
OF all classes, thus abolishing the tax
on mortgages: for an income tax and
for an amendment to the Inheritance
tax

CAUSEOF UNKNOWN'S
DEATH is MYSTERY
May Have Been Thrown Or
Fallen From High
Bluff

Death came to the man, whose body
was discovered yesterday by Conduc-
tor Cherry of the motor car, by a fall
over a 500 foot bluff near Barnhart
but whether that fall was the result
of an accident or of suicidal or MUIR
derous intent will probably never be
known. Coroner Ralph Folsom and
Sheriff Il. ID. Taylor returned yester-
day afternoon after making an ex-
animation of the body its position and
the face of the bluff, and they have
reached the foregoing conclusion.
The dead mans name is probably
either A. j. Weaver of ]. A. Morrell,
papers bearing those names having
been found on his body and constitut-
ing about the only evidence for iden-
tifcation. The former name was found
on pawn ticket from the Chicago
Loan office of Portland dated Dec.
23, 1911, while the letter was the
only writing in q note book besides
the address of Vancouver, Wash, un-
derneath. An old pipe some soap
and towel were about the only other
articles on the person of the dead
man. He was apparently about 2S
years of age and was dressed in
rough laborers garb.
The head face and hands of the
man were badly cut by the sharp
rocks on the face of the bluff and
the hair is matted with dried blood.
The officers are of the belief that
the man was walking toward the
river in the darkness and, not know
ing of the existence of the bluff, had
fallen over it, they declared that
there is nothing about the facts ascer-
tanned to preclude the possibility of
a murder.
The body was brought to the city
yesterday evening and is being held
at the morgue pending more extern
sve investigation.
