VISIT BARES RUMOR
Of POLITICAL COUP

PORTLAND. Oct.22.-ROy W. Rit-
ner. president of the state senate. was
la Portland visitor for a few hours
Friday. He drove from his home in
Pendleton little while ago 10 Van
couVer, b. c., where he tarried a while
and reached Portland on the first leg
of his journey home. He planned to
drive to the Columbia Gorge hotel this
levening, stay there overnight and get
into Penheton Saturday.
He is not talking politics, contend
ing that there is no such animal just
| at this time. He admits, however,
1 that he has been told the rumor that
some federal job of high degree is in
the offering for Governor Olcott, and
he naively adds that he "hopes Ben
takes it,"
Ritner, by virtue of the recent con-
lstitutional amendment, would become
governor in the event of Olcott's resig-
nation, he being the president of the
state senate. Some politicians contend
/ that Louis +. Bean, speaker of the
house, would like to be governor but
does not want to go up against the OIL
l. colt defense. Accordingly, so gossip
has it, a scheme has been mapped out
| by him or his friends, by which Presi-
dent Ritner would retire to private life
lin the event Olcott should resign.
which would move Bean up into the
governors chair by reason of his po-
sition as speaker of the house. If
that should come to pass he would
gather his official family about him
and hop right into campaign to con-
tinue his place in the gubernatorial
chair.
There are those, however who grin
little at the story and offer to bet
that if Rittner once got his feet under
the big desk in the state capitol he
would forget TO resign, and might
even take a whirl at the governorship
himself.

divorce suit, was born the following
November.
While the testimony was given
behind closed doors, the defendants 5
attorneys admitted that it had been

The question Of its final admissible

trial courts.
DR.. Russell said that Miss Anne
'Stiliman had accompanied her
mother on the trip to Buffalo and
that while they We're there Mr.. Still
man arrived. Defendants counsel
quoted DR.. Russell as saying that the

DEMOCRATS
OPPOSE TARIFF
Leaders in Senate Continue At
tack on Measure

Washington, May 5.-Democratic
leaders in the senate continued their
attack on the emergency tariff and
anti-dumping bill today although
friends of the measure, headed by
Chairman Penrose of the finance
committee, fought them at every
point. Mr.. Penrose delivered an
hours speech, his first extended re-
marks in nearly two years, in sup
port of the measure.
Senator Simmons, Democrat, North
Carolina, charged the Republicans
with attempting to transfer "a lot
of commodities from the free TO the
dutiable list by use of the anti
dumping clause and argued that
those provisions were certain to
prove a handicap instead of a relief
to agriculture.
Some benefit will inure to the
farmers through the tariff items in
the bill', Mr.. Simmons said. but
those benefits will be absorbed
many, many times over by the bur-
dens which will be added to the al
ready burdened backs Of the farm
ers."
The senator referred to the anti
dumping provisions later as making
the manufacturing interests benefi-
ciaries of the bill. He said he saw
no reason for inserting anti-dumr-
ing provisions unless somebody was
going to be benefited, since Senator
McCumber. Republican, North Da-
kota, had informed the senate that
the provisions would do little good
and could do no harm.
Mr.. Simmons predicted clash be-
tween the senate and the house when
the measure goes to conference. Re-
publican leaders in the house, he
said, were welded" to the anti
dumping and currency conversion
plans carried in the bill as passed by
the house but stricken out by the
committee In the senate, and he add
ed that he believed the house would
compel te senate to write them in
The bill again.
Mr.. Penrose's speech was given
over largely to explanation OF tech
nical provisions of the bill, although
he submitted estimates Of govern
ment actuaries showing that tariff
items in the bill would produce ap-
proximate,y 105,0o0,oOO in the six
months the law would be effective.
He added that the amount was S45,-
oo0, 600 large than the revenue re-
ceived from the same sources under
the present tariff laws.
The senate recessed tonight in or
der that debate on the tariff measure
might be taken up by priority when
.he senate conyenes tomorrow. MI.
Penrose said he then would attempt
to reach a definite agreement with
opponents Of the bill sor day and
hour for final vote
