VOTE ON AMENDMENT TO RETAIN
DUTY DEFEATED BY VOTE
OF 100 To42.
UNDERWOOD DEFENDS WILSON
House Leader Makes Stirring Speech,
Defending Committee and President.
Latter Made Only Two Suggestions
, About Bill. Wool and Sugar.

Washington, April 1.-THE Demo
cratic caucus voted decisively Wednes-
day to support the wool schedule of
the Underwood tariff bill, placing raw
wool on the free list, after Representa-
tive Underwood had made stirring
appeal for the support of the caucus.
BY a vote of 100 to AZ an amendment
offered by Representative Dies, of Tex
as, to place raw wool on the dutiable
list was rejected.
Representative Dies amendment
proposed to place a duty of Is per
cent cd valorem on raw wool, asserting
that this was the judgment of the ways
and means committee before President
Wilson saw the bill and suggested
change.
Majority Leader Underwood, in
winding up the discussion, warmly de-
Tended both the committee and the
president.
He declared the president had the
right to make suggestions to Congress
relating to the tariff, but that the bill
as a whole met with the chief execu-
tive's approval when he first read it
as it came from the committee.
"Out of four thousand and more
items in the bill," said Mr.. Underwood,
''the president only made two sugges-
tions, those affecting the sugar and
wool schedules. 1t seems to me that
we should accept those suggestions
from the President of the United
States"
Representative Rainey, of Illinois,
and Harrison, Of New York, also spoke
on behalf OF the committee, defending
its action and the attitude Of the Pres:
ident,
The attack upon the committee and
President began as soon as the insur'
gent Democrats began consideration
of the bill. Representative Alexander
of Missouri declared the committee
overstepped all proper bounds in hold
ing up President Wilson as a club
over the heads of the members, anG
that the President had exerted undue
influence" in having wool placed on the
? free list in the bill
Representative Montague, of Vir
ginia, a new member, defended the
President in a stirring speech, declar
ing that it was his constitutional ant
inherent right to suggest what shoult
go in a tariff bill, and that neither h
nor the committee were subject to crit
Z icism for their cooperation in fran
ing the bill.
Before reaching wool the caucus dis
posed of the cotton and fax schedules
/ voting down all amendments to lowe
e or increase the duties proposed in tn
l. committee bill.
n An amendment to place cotton stocl
ings on the free list and another t
l. reduce the proposed rate of 40 and 5
l. per cent ad valorem were voted dowI
An amendment to increase the duty o
S cotton gloves also was lost
1t 1t is expected that more rapid prol
n ress will be made in caucus conside
n alton of the bill from now on.

of the evening was an address by
Judge Moreland, clerk Of the supreme
court, in which he reviewed briefly
the lives and work of Oregon's gov
ernors. 1t was of deep interest, and
brimming over with information about
them, telling as much as could be
possibly crowded into the time. He
also paid a splendid, but we'll deserved
tribute to Governor West.

dIeds of questions. They were under
the command of First Lieutenant Max
Gehlhar, who, as master of ceremo-
MES, was suave, quiet far-seeing and
quick-acting, just fitting into and fill
ing the place as though made for it,
and his ministrations added much to
the pleasure and comfort of all who
required information.
There were at least 1000 in the big
crowd that thronged the capitol, and
each and every one of them will al
ways have a pleasant recollection of
this, Salem's most memorable social
function.

Saloons
May Have
to Close

That the Senate saloon, the Stand
ard Liquor company, the Annex, the
lank, the Court, Butte & Son, Peter
Bachs place, Swartz & James are SELL
ing liquor without license contrary
to the city charter and general NUM-
ciral laws Of Salem is the substance
Of an opinion rendered today by City
Attorney Page in an opinion asked for
by Mayor Lachmund.
City Attorney Rolln X. Page holds
that the eight saloons in question are
without legal licenses to transact bu-
siness for the following reasons, in
part however: That the receipts Is
sued by City Treasurer Crossan for
money RENTED by the saloonmen as
license fees, cannot be considered or
construed as licenses, but a mere
rhowing that the city treasurer had
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1913-01-02

received the amounts recorded; that
the receipts do not constitute a saloon
license; that the bonds proffered by
the applicants have not been signed
by the mayor, thus rendering them
void to date and that the last item
comprises in fact, a saloon license
proper
In all probability, there will be some
action taken by the chief of police now
that the city attorney has practically
sustained the contention that the eight
local saloons are operating without q
license. The chief declared this morn
ing that he would first consult the
city attorney before any action would
be taken on his part to close up the
saloons transacting business without
a license, and that he would not at
tempt a prosecution until ordered to
do so by the proper persons. 1t now
remains with either the mayor or
some member Of the city council to in
sist upon the saloons being shut up,
and much speculation is being indulg-
ed In as to what the chief OF police
will do in the matter. 1t is rumored
that Mayor Lachmund will as Salem's
chief executive still, insist that the
eight saloons included in the delin.
Quent list, be required to abide by the
charter by Obtaining legal licenses be-
fore doing further business. In this
event, each Of the establishments will
be compelled to shut It's doors until
Mayor-Elect Sleeves assumes the du-
ties Of mayor.
Chief of Police Shedeck stated this
afternoon that he would not interfere
unless It was at the request of some
person In authority, and that he was
not In favor Of forcing a prosecution
In the eight cases in view Of the fact
that the saloon men had paid in their
money were acting in good faith, and
that he did not think II right to take
away their liberties for this reason,

MARRIAGE, DEATHS AND
SOME OTHER THINGS

There have been in Oregon in the
last two years 1902 births against
ll,7O6 deaths. The increase over the
previous biennium in these figures
were, respectively, 1855 and 500. The

OF diphtheria there were 677 cases.
of which 66 were fatal. In the previ-
Gus biennium there we're 1901 cases,
with 16S fatalities. The state board
OF health claims that the abolition Of
the common drinking cup is largely
the cause of the decrease.

fever, with SO deaths reported This
disease was particularly bad in the
schools of the Willamette valley.
There were 2l5O cases of measles,

STOMACH MISERY
JUST VANISHES
TINE IT! NO INDIGESTION, GAS
OR SOURNESS FIVE MINUTES
AFTER TAKING "PAPE'S DIAPEP.
SIM"

If what you just ate is sourlng on
your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested food
or have feeling of dizziness, heart
burn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in
mouth and stomach headache-this is
indigestion.
A full case of Pape's Diapepsln
costs only fifty cents and will thor
oughly cure your out-of-order stom-
ach, and leave sufficient about the
house in case some one else in the
family may suffer from stomach trou-
BILE or indigestion,
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases, then you will under
stand why dyspeptic trouble of all
kinds must go, and why they usually
relieve sour, out-of-order stomachs or
indigestion in five minutes. Diapepsln
Is harmless and tastes like candy,
though each dose contains power suf-
ficicnt to digest and prepare for as.
similation into the blood all the food
you eat; besides II makes you so
to the table with healthy appetite;
but. what will please you most, is that
you will feel that your stomach and
intestines are clean and fresh, and
you will not need to resort to laxa-
tives or liver pills for blllousness or
constipation.
This city will have many Dlapepsln
cranks, AS some people will call them,
but you will be cranky about this
splendid stomach preparation, too, II
you ever try little for indigestion or
gastritls or any other stomach misery.
Get some now, this minute, and for
ever rid yourself Of stomach trouble
and indigestion.

WOULD PLACE FUNDS
IN THE SMALLER BANKS

To have the county funds appor-
toned among the different banks of
the counties is the substance of pro-
posed legislation nov being talked up
chiefly by the Marion county delega-
ton. 1t is argued that this would
prevent the removal of money from
outside sections Of the county to some
central section, thereby strengthening
the financial status of the county at
large.
The move toward such legislation
was begun six months ago by some Of
the smaller bankers of the county. It
Is proposed to take the money that Is
procured in the form of taxes in the
different parts of the county and de-
pcsit 1t in the banks of those sections.
the banks to pay interest at 2 per cent
and to give good security. Under the
present system the money of the en-
tire county Is placed with one or two
large banks in the county seat.
The Marion county legislators-elect
are investigating and say that they
have found that the smaller banks in
outlying towns will be willing to give
the required security and to pay the
interest on the deposits. Another ar
gument in favor of the law Is that
the placing of the money in the small
er banks would make It more easily
available to the people of the commun-
ity in which 1t might be deposited,
thereby encouraging rural develop
ment.
Approximately half million dollars
county money is now deposited in sa-
lem. With this sum deposited in nu-
merous banks and drawing per cent
the resultant additional S1O,-
600 would pay the salaries of all of
the county officials.
