in behalf Of Oregon shippers and
commercial bodies, particularly

Garner Promises
Methods
Committee Used
Party Line Vote Against Solid Democratic
Opposition Limits Debate; Republicans Are
Charged With Attempt to Kill Foreign
Trade Thru Prohibitive Levies

Washington, July 9.--Demo-
cratic attack on the Fordney tariff
bill opened in the house today
with Representative Garner OF
Texas, ranking democrat on the
ways and means committee, as
serting that mot a republican in
the house can distinguish between
this and the "Payne-Aldrich bill.
He said that there was much
ammunition laid away among the
democrats and that the republi-
cans would learn what their COM
mittee had done in framing the
tariff bill before the house voted.
Under a special rule adopted
over solid democratic opposition,
separate votes and amendments
could be had on five schedules Of
the permanent tariff bill and de-
bate would end July 21. The rule
will be presented in the house
Monday and Chairman Campbell
said there would be ample time
for its discussion.
Republican leaders previously
had decided to open the cotton, Gil,
dye and hire paragraphs to amend
ment and vote and today they
added the asphalt schedule to
the list.
"This tariff will cut off foreign
trade because its fifty percent
higher than any we've ever had,
Mr.. Garner declared.
Chairman Fordney denied that
he had planned a prohibitive
tariff.
"But don't forget that you put
American valuation provisions In
this bill" shouted Mr. Garner,
sand that means higher duty
than the rates show. There's the
joker and that's why l say this
bill carries rates higher than any
other in history"
Discussing the wool schedule
the Texas member declared that
it was written for the manufac-
turers and not the growers.
Mr.. Garner predicted that the
Fordney bill would not become a
lave this year. declaring senate
leaders appeared TO want to revise
the tax laws ahead of the tariff
and that he believed the tariff bill
would be pigeonholed in the
senate.

That the verdict of the jury be-
fore which the suit of H. H. Van
devort and others against John w.
Todd may be returned tonight in
favor of Todd is the opinion of at
torneys who have heard great
deal of the testimony in the case
and who have been keeping close
watch on the jury.
The REORGANIZATION of Todd
was completed this afternoon at a
little after one o'clock with the
attorneys for Vandevort failing to
ruffle the calm exterior of the
principal witness. The jury dur
ing the ten days of the trial, in
spite of the mass of testimony
which has been submitted and the
hot weather, has borne up well
and has apparently taken great
interest in Todd's testimony
There is also in the record, accord
ling to the attorneys for the de-
fense the fact that he has paid
back about $4,000 to other par
ties who were interested in the
land deals.
Todd testified this morning that
the book in which he kept the ac-
count of money paid him was de-
stroyed to protect the investors,
and also stated that an officer
from the land office at Roseburg
had visited him and taken the
names so that the claims which
Todd's investors were to get would
not fall into the hands of other
parties.
Regarding the money which he
was supposed to get, Todd denied
that he had told any one that he
had received" 500. of the
amounts paid him.

| hadn't received any of the mon
ey and ] didn't want anybody re-
porting that ! did," stated Todd
with reference to Kuntz' testimony
given earlier in the trial.
With reference to using the
mails in his transactions with Sa-
lem people and speaking particu-
larly of letters sent by Mr.. Ross,
by registered mail, Todd said:
II knew they were there and
never called for them"
"You fit that all you Had done
here in Salem was above board?"
asked Winslow,
"I did"
"Then why should you hesitate
to receive letters through the
mail?"
"It wasn't the idea of receiving
a letter, but the idea of receiving
a registered letter.
"Then you didn't mind receiv-
ing a letter as long as they could
MT prove it on you?"
THAT wasn't it, stated Todd.
He explained that he had received
one letter from Ross, and that it
had contained statements which
led him to believe that the two let
ters were from the same source.
and gained the idea that there was
sorle concerted action on the part
of some of the investors to get him
into trouble.
A ruling by Judge Kelly late
yesterday afternoon permitted the
introduction of the contracts of
other investors besides those
whose claims are set for the COM
plaint of the 1S interested in the
case. Another ruling by the court
was that Todd should not be per-
mitted to give any of the CONVEX
sation between himself and Carlos
Byron. because such testimony
had no bearing on the case.

owner, president general superin-
tendent, conductor and engineer of
a railroad? One that has no trouble
over coal strikes because it uses
electricity for power, has no labor
troubles because one boy ear oper-
ate it. No difficulty either as to
right of way as any level spot will
serve and if the person who owns
the spot kicks, the whole works can
be moved to a new spot in a few
minutes.
Just such a marvelously onven
lent road-rolhng stock, watered
stock, power equipment, track and
everything will be given away Non
