(intrrnnr Ils Dri'lines. The positive refusal of Governor Dix to urp;e Democratic member to respect thrlr caucus obligations and obey the wtil of the majority probably will cost heehan some more votes during the balloting- that la to follow. This re fusal was made, point blank to Judge, Parker, the law partner of Sheehan. This did much to Inspire confidence In the valiant band of 29 "Insurgents" who are tonight as fully determined to prrvent the election of Sheehan aa they were when tbey crcanlxed the revolt against the Democratic caucus on Mon day night. The Governor's rejection of Judge Parker's suggestion, which was made under distressing circumstances to the Governor, also brought encouragement to 21 men who are still held by the rule of the caucus but who today have been seeking an avenue for escape. These - 1 men are reported tonight to be ready to desert the Sheehan forces If the Governor will sanction their act and prevent the application of "party discipline" to their personal dtacom iitiir. Sheehan Efforts Kali. Kfforts to increase the following of William F. Sneenan. the leading; candi date, or to unite the opposition on any other candidate have proved fruitless. How long the deadlock will last no one ventures to say. 1 Mr. Sheehan. with M votes to his credit on the first Joint ballot and within nine votes of election, may be no nearer Washington than Martin W. Littleton or I. Cady Herrlck. who received but two voles- In fact, there ia a growing lm . presalon that, if Sheehan cannot win. the ' successful candidate la as likely as not to be soma one whose nam has not yet been proposed. SlH-ebam Loses One Vote. fHieehan's position will last as long as the opposition presents the unbroken front It haa maintained sine the Demo cratic caucna. The one ballot taken gave Sheehan votes: K. M. Shepard 11 A. II. Parker 7. James W. Gerard X Martin W. Littleton J. and D. Cady Herrlck S. AH these were Democratic votes. The Republicans voted solidly for their caucus choice. Senator Depcw. Compared with the total vote of res terday, when the Senate and Assembly voted separately, the changes were in significant. Sheehan lost one vote. Shenard one. and Judge Parker and JuMIre Gerard, each gained one. That the "Insurgents" regarded the result as a victory, was apparent from thrlr eagerness to continue balloting. But the party leaders had sgreed to postpone further voting until tomorrow. The second Joint ballot will be taken at noon tomorrow. Insurgents Seek. New Man. The talk tonight was mainly of com promises and of whether the Sheehna leadera could prevent any mure legislat ors from breaking away front the cau cus selection. The "Insurgents" held two meetings, but failed to agree on any candidate, although A. R. Parker. I. C. Hrriok and M. W. Littleton wera the possible candidates discussed. Possible new candidates mentioned to ' ntht were Nathan Straus. Supreme Court Justice Martin J. Keogh snd ex State Controller Martin H. Glynn. It as believed that any of these would prove acceptable to the New York and Kings County delegations. If Sheehan and Shepard withdrew. Sheehan said he did not dream of quitting and a similar declaration was made on Shrpard'a behalf by bis friends. rica Made Against Slieehan. PIERRE. 8. I. Jan. 1. Tha Demo cratic members of both houses of tha legislature and Chairman Lyons, of the iMtmocratle State Committee, last night sent a telegram to Governor Dlx, of New York, declaring that the New York Senatorial situation Is National and that the election of Sheehan will cost ths party 1.000.009 votes In the West, while tha election of Shepard. or an equally representative man. would gain that number for the party.

OREGON TO BE HAMPERED Inclination of Senate Sub-Committee to Throw Out Amendments to Bill Adopting; New Schemes Hits Local Channel. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 18. A subcommittee of the Senate commerce committee Is now at work on all Senate amendments pro posed to ths river and harbor bill, but has reached no conclusion. The present Inclination of the subcommittee Is to throw out all amendments for the adoption of new projects and to report the bill substantially as It passed tbe House. If this rule Is adhered to, an amend ment offered by Senator Bourne today placing Portland's new 30-foot channel project on the continuing contract basis and appropriating 1300.000 cash to be gin tha construction of dredges will go by tha board. However, there are a number of other amendments pending calling for the adoption of new projects, and It is possible that sufficient pres sure will be brought to bear to force the adoption of all by the committee. Senator Bourne's amendments. as drawn, commits the Government to an expenditure of S3.13MXI0 for dredging and maintaining a SO-foot channel froth the mouth of the Willamette to the mouth of tba Columbia River, and makes it Incumbent upon the Port of Portland to dredge and maintain a 30-foot channel from Portland to the mouth of the Wil lamette. The War Department today notified Senator Bourne that the Engineers' Board of Review that passes upon all new river and harbor projects had dis approved the recommendation of the spe cial board with reference to the Tilla mook Bay project. As the Secretary of War Is guided by the recommendation of this board, his report to Congress will be adverse and this means that no ap propriation for the new Tillamook proj ect can be procured In the pending river and harbor bill. BUI Is Boom to Entrjmen. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Jan. Is.

Jr was today renomi nated receiver of the Cosur d'Alene Land Office, Idaho WILSON INFURIATES SMITH Governor Answers Threat to Block Legislation by Calling Boss Des perado In Politics Repub licans Hold Aloof. BY LI.OTD F. L0K1310AN. NEW YORK, Jan. IS. (Special.) The battle for the Senatorshlp In New Jersey has now reached the stage where It seems safe to predict that both James Smith, the state boss, and Woodrow Wilson, the Governor, will be defeated. Smith's chances have taken a turn for the worst during the past few days, but he still retains a number of de voted followers. In the course of con versation with a friend the other day, one of the Smith men declared: "We may not be able to land the old man. but we are strong enough to block the Governor's game and to send Martine to the Down-and-Out Club with bis sponsor." In the Jersey Legislature there are SO Assemblymen and 31 Senators, a total on Joint ballot of 81. There are nine Demrocratlc Senators and 2 Assembly men. SI in all, or nine more than the 42 necessary to control on the Joint ballot. Chance Good for Dark Ilorse. The indications are that Smith can keep enough men out to cause a dead-, lock, and the chances are that the Gov ernor Is In the same position. All of which inclines well-posted observers to believe that the successor of John Kean will be some Democrat whose name has not yet figured in the contest. The death of Robert Davis, boss of Hudson County, (Jersey City) has been a sad blow to Smith. Davis had prom ised that his delegation would line up behind his fellow-leader. Many per sons doubted this, as Smith and Davis have been enemies oftener than they have been friends. The removal of Davis has cost Smith a number of votes. While the old leader was alive he was powerful enough to hold hi9 crowd in line If he wanted to. Now that he is gone and there is no rec ognized successor, the Hudson men are anxlouB to stand In the good graces of the new Governor, who has lots of pat ronage to give out. ' A third element has entered Into the casa which has given Smith much con cern. The South Jersey Democrats, who do not like the man from .Essex, are de lighted to see him In difficulties and are doing all they can to help the trouble along. The principal member of this faction Is ex-Mayor Frank Katxenbach, of Trenton, who was the candidate for Governor In 1907 and ran against Wilson in the convention last FalL He was de feated on that occasion by Smith, who handled the Wilson forces, and there vA;re some bitter exchanges of compli ments on the floor while the battle raged. KaUenbach and his friends did not dis gutoe their enmity to Smith on that oc casion and they are still after him, si lently, it Is true, but with knives. The South Jersey crowd are not only against Smith, but they are also opposed to Martine, the "Farmer Orator," who carried the primaries. South Jersey Waits and Hopes. In a few words, they regard Smith as a foe and Martine as a Joke. Neither man would suit them as Senator, and they hope that one of their own faction will land the prixe. Katzenbach Is secretly a candidate, although for good and suf ficient reasons he has not yet openly taken the field. The plan of the South Jerseymen is to keep the other two factions fighting as long as they can and then at the las mo ment slip in and land the Washington Job for .themselves. Of course It would be poor policy for them to take sides, aa that would inevi tably create enemies, and the South Jer seymen want votes and not foes. This explains why some of them have gone on record for Martine, while others are for Smith, and yet another detach ment Is openly on the fence. ' They are planning to divide their strength in such a manner that It will not help either Smith or Martine. Then, at the proper moment, they expect to in troduce their dark horse and wipe the others off the political map. Republicans Close Ranks. Wilson Is calmly confident that Mar tine will be the next United States Sen ator. Smith aUo expresses himself as thoroughly satisfied, but his lieutenants are working with a desperation that does not confirm his words. And the Demo cratic legislators are being wined, dined and orated to In a way that Is turning their heads. The Republican leaders are chuckling over the troubles of their traditional ene mies and seem well content to let them settle their family quarrels without in terference. They have already caucused and gone on record as being "first, last end all the time" for the choice of the party, adding that under no circum stances will they vote for any Democrat. no matter who he may oe. This decision has rather taken the wind out of Smith's sails, for it was an open secret that be counted on some Repub lican support, if the tight in the Legis lature was close. But. after this open pledge, it would appear that his hopes will not be realized. . Smith Makes Threats. The Democrats at Trenton sre so wrapped up in the Senatorial snarl that thev have had no time to consider the various reforms which they advocated during the campaign. One thing that is clear however, is that no distinctively nartlsen legislation will be passed, owing to the fact that the Republicans control the Set ate and con block it. The chances are that a direct primary law' will be paned, as both parties have gone on record as favoring it. The va rious appointments to be made by the Governor will be passed upon by tbe Senate and any effort that Smith may make to discipline him will be unavailing. Smith is really very peevish when the Govsrnor is mentioned. He admits that under certain circumstances he may fail In his ambition to go to Washington, but be declares that he has the power to kill afl tie Governor's pet bills and that he will make the Wilson administration ab solutely barren of results. Xcw Title Enrages- Boss. This threat of the boss was communi cated to the Governor by a politician who would like to train with Wilson, but T. really afraid of Smith.. He says that the Governor received the information cnlmlv smiled and then replied: "Tarn really sorry for Smith. He fails to realise that the day of the desperado In politics has passed. He may be able to block bills that I promised the people 375 tfc Dr. Lyon's PERFECT Toot Powder not only cleanses, preserves and beautifies the teeth without in' jury, but impartspurity and fra grance to the breath, removing instantly the odor of tobacco. should be made Into laws. It was be cause of these promises that I and ths others on the ticket were elected. . But I can promise that. If our party pledges are Ignored, the voters will know who are at fault and personally I'd bate to be one of tha poor little Smith Assembly men." These remarks, of course, were repeat ed to Smith, and he used language that made his informant's hair curl. The funny thing is that the principal cause of his wrath was that he was styled a "desperado of politics." That was a new one on Smith, who during a stormy public life has been called nearly ei-erythlng else that one could think of. But it is war to the knife between the Governor and the boss. And up to date the Governor seems to have the best of It. All the same. South Jersey is watching and hoping and expects to land the "big prize" in the political lottery.
