THE MORNING' OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1920 EXTRADITION BEUP TD ASSEMBLY Special Session in Germany Is Considered. PARTY LEADERS TO MEET Surrender of Men Xamed by Allies Causes Complications Treaty Clauses Discussed. - tOJfDON. Feb. 6. (By the Assoclat ed Press.) The foreign affairs com mittee of the national assembly will meet Saturday with the party leaders to decide whether to convene the as sembly, says a wireless message from Berlin. This action is in connection with the comDlications arising out of the extradition proceedings. Chancellor Bauer In a statement to the press today, said: M" iAm karKir In critical mmt' J .,uu. position similar to that when con fronted with the question whether eh would elgn the peace treaty or not Then, as now, the government tried to reject the so-called clauses of honor. t . . ........... Vote an Treaty Recalled. A majority of the assembly voted fn favor of signing the treaty on June 22, 1919. presuming" that these clauses would not become effective. Their efforts were unsuccessful and Tinder: pressure of threatened .occupa- tion of Germany they resolved to ac rn the treatv in its entirety. "There was no lack of a sense of tonor. It was known that 'France longed for an opportunity for her troops to enter Germany for the pur' pose of separating tne norm ana im eoath. It wa an act oi seu-preixjr-vjit.nft that we did not hesitate to slsn. "Meanwhile we left no stone un corned to procure a satisfactory solu tinn of the fluesllon relating to hand Ing over of the persons demanded and we have done our utmost to convince the entente that we art expected to do what no government, tnougn am mated by the best good. will,, could comply with. Previous Actios Outlined. "In a discussion with the repre eentatives of the- entente our stand' point was fully appreciated by Amer loa. and Japan and by England's of ficial representatives, but rot by the official representatives of France. "We tried to get a list and the charges against those named before the ratification of tne peace treaty, so that we ourselves might take pro ceedings against them. Our request was refused and our attempt to estab lish a state court was frustrated. "Our standpoint was explained In the note of January 25 and we again emphasised it. But we shall strictly avoid any provocation. "For this reason the government re grets that Baron von Lersnir refused to forward the entente note. In any such action the interests of the whole nation must be decisive and not the honor of a single individual." at no! when j SUTl RENDER IS OPPOSED Cabinet Ministers Declare Com' pliance Is Impossible. BERLIN, Feb. 4. At the conclusion of tonight's cabinet session a mem ber of the government informed the correspondent of the Associated Press that the ministers were unanimous in declaring thai surrender of the men demanded by the allies in the unofficial list received here or any other extradition list was an utter physical impossibility. The cabinet meeting, which lasted several hours, was attended by Ma' thias Erzberger. whose appearance was the first since he was shot in the shoulder. It is learned that in addition to the names previously given the extradi tion list includes the names of Fred erick van Ingenchl Djemal Pasha, Turkish ex-minister of war; Rupert van Gioner and Admiral von Schroe der. ex-commander of the naval corns. France and Belgium each demand the surrender of 331 men; England, IT; Poland, 67; Roumania, 41; Serbia, L and Italy. 25. There is one woman on the list, Frau Elsa Scheiner, who is wanted :or alleged mistreatment of French women at a German concentration camp. One of the most surprised men in Berlin was Count von Bernstorff, ex- ambassador to the United States, who is desired by the allies for his alleged connections with Bolo Pasha. . The xunt, despite his surprise, seemed to e mildly amused. He declared that he was not afraid to face trial. He idded that he was ready to go. if vanted. and that h might even put the allies in a quandary if they at tempted to prosecute him. IXDiaSATIOX IS EXPRESSED Declaration Is Read at Sitting' of Imperial Council. . BERLIN, Feb. 5. A declaration, read by the Prussian minister of the interior at a public sitting today of the imperial council, said: "The council shares with the Ger man people its indignation at the entente's demand and with the Im perial government declares that, it cannot be fulfilled. "The council appeals against this Ignominy inflicted upon the German people to the world's sense of justice." Alluding to this declaration, Dr. Edouard David, minister without portfolio, says there was complete unanimity among ail German commu nities that the demand of the entente powers could not be fulfilled by any German government, which also fitted In with the German government's policy. IXTERXAL DISORDER FEARED but the ' commission stated that promise would be made as to this highway would be paved by the state other than "some day." The commission, however, did agree to prepare the grade from Elgin to La Grande and from Elgin to Minam, which the county will pave, if the election In May goes right. On the Elgin-La Grande section the county offered to spend 1694.000 for paving If the statae would do the grading at $220(000. Also the county offered to lend the commission the price of the grading. On the 12-mile section from Minam south, the state agreed to grade three miles nine are already graded and the county prom ises to pave the 1Z miles. - contracts for gravelfng the nine miles will be called for as soon as possible. The county wants an estimate to grade the 15 miles from Kamela to Hllgard and the eight miles from Hilgard to La Grande. From Hot Lake to Union the county intends starting grading within acouple of months and the county was promised an order from the commission for estimates and ad vertisements for bids for the gravel ing and bridges between Telocasset and North Powder. On all the projects where the county wanted the state to pave, the county delegation was told it would have to wait. Deschutes county asked that the worst part of the road between the McKenzie pass and Redmond be re moved. This consists of seven miles between Sisters and Cllne Falls. The commission decided the work could wait, and the commission also decided to postpone ordering work on 21 miles east of Bend on the Bend-Burns high way. This project would have brought the improvement almost to Millican. The - commission decided that as The Dalles-California highway from Redmond north will have to be grav eled. whatever money Is available would better be used there than on the Sisters or Millican Improvements. A delegation from Harney county joined with the Deschutes representa tives in urging the work toward Mil lican. Deschutes offered to pay $25,- 000 toward the estimated cost of $69, 323 for the work. Crook county wants the Crooked river road developed to Paulina, and if this is dene, with government or state assistance, the county will make a road connection from the Crooked river road to the Bend-Burns highway. The government is not willing to co-operate with the coun ty, but the latter is ready to furnish $135,000 for the work, so the commis sion agreed to furnish the difference in funds approximately $64,000. At the same time the commission de cided to suspend the contract for the road - work between Prineville and Redmond. Linn county sent a delegation for information about the Cascadia proj ect,-which runs from Albany through laacadia to connect with the McKen te road. The project will cost about $1,000,000 and Linn county offered to assist with $20,000. so the commission decided to leave the matter for later negotiation. A second attempt was made by Marion county to-add to the state road map by having the commission agree to co-operation on a paved road from Woodburn to Newberg. The plan was turned down last year, but was presented again yesterday, the Marion county people offering to give $132, 000 to have the 16 '4 miles paved. As the road would add - mileage to the road map, the commission declined to favor the plan. The sentiment of the commission is that when the roads on the map have been cared for and new roads are taken up, the Woodburn- Newberg proposition will be considered. Jackson county's proposal to pay 25 per cent of the cost of paving the Crater Lake road from Medford as a two-year project) was placed in abey ance by the commission. No answer will be given until after the May elec tion. . " ' ' 1 ' Aside from the Toungs Bay con tract, other awards yesterday were: Two bridges, Adams-Athena sec tion, Umatilla county, awarded to Rlner-Dlckey company for $13,652. Bridge on Athena-Milton section, awarded to Pacific Foundation com pany for $10,872. Arch on Mosier- Rowena section, awarded to Linstrom Flgnam for $42,801.25. Kilchla river bridge.

Oxman was low bidder St $36,200. Bids for an arch across dry canyon oh the Mosler-Rowena section were rejected. MEEK OF SCHOOL BOARD BIGS TILT child wno has given her father for her country? It is not right." The director rose again. "The Cath olic church doesn't believe in our schools," he declared. "The Catholics want their children to 'go to their own. "Father Daly never talked to me In Hibernia hall In his life. During my campaign I never asked a soul, let alone a Catholic to vote for me as school director. If you prove that I did, I'll resign, but you've got to Drove it. and vou can't. Furthermore and I want the reporters to get this lying Is the long suit of your church." At. this noint Ryan made a rush toward the speaker from one side and Father Daly headed for the platform on the other side. Several among .the Catholics rose in anger. The trouble was quickly checked by the lnterven- j tion of board members.- Ryan apolo gized for his hasty action and Thomas amended his charee to "Lvincr is the Question of Employing Members long suit of some of the people of your church, I might say.' : Use Your Scissors Here! i Clash Between Director and Catholics Results.

Thomas at the school board meet Ing yesterday, a wordy battle with the director on one side and a dele gat Ion of Catholics on the other was precipitated. The disturbance was terminated by Dr. E. A. Sommer, pre siding at the moment, just in time to prevent a first, fight between Mr. Thomas and Tnomas G.: Ryan, for merly- deputy city attorney. Criticism of Mr. Thomas for failure to keep alleged election pledges men tioned by Rev. Father W. A. Daly brought forth a declaration from the director that "I want the newspaper reporters to get this lying is the long suit of your church." At the last formal board meeting Director Thomas was the only mem ber voting against the employment as a teacher of Miss Josephine Shaw, a graduate from the Holy Names Normal school. When Involved In an argument with Dr. Sommer. who ob Jected to discrimination because of religious beliefs, Mr. Thomas made statements which roused the Catho lies of the city and it had been under stood that a storm was coming. Constitution Is Cited. When the meeting was called to or der a delegation of about a dozen had appeared. Mrs. Helen Jackson Bang hart, local club woman, opened the attack by reading a petition referring to the clause in the Oregon constltu tion Btating. that no religious test should ever be required as a quail flcatlon for any office or public trust. From the observations of the dally press," the document continued, as you may note In the subjoined clip pings, we gather the following infor mation: At the last regular meeting of your board during that part of the proceedings in which the selection of teachers is made, George B. Thomas attempted to apply the religious test as a qualification for such positions Since such an action on the part of Mr. Thomas is a violation of the con stitution and a wilful disregard of established law and order and con trary, to the espionage act, still in force, we the undersigned citizens and taxpayers respectfully submit that the said George B. Thomas is unfit to serve on your honorable board and we ask for his resignation. The communication bore more than 100 signatures. Thomas Action Resented. Mr. Thomas, during the reading of the document, laughed, and this was resented by Mr. Ryan, when he took the floor at the' conclusion of Mrs. dealings. Furthermore, he Insisted that, the Catholic church . is not op posed to . public scnoois, Dut mat it does trp to Instill religious training in the children. The petition was placed on file and no action was taken. MIL LINES ME INSPECTED FEDERAL MANAGER ..SCOTT MAKES GENERAL- TOUR.

Vorwaerts Discusses Possible Ar rests of Men Listed. BERLIN, Feb. 5. Vorwaerts says that. If the government attempts to arrest those persons demanded by the allied powers, severe internal dis orders will occur. "The government. tt adds, "can not enter upon such a struggle unless backed by its own convictions and a majority of the nation. There is no question of sympathy for the accused, but the method of dealing with them is purely a German affair."

Albert Argo of 202 Park street and Alton Eaton, 424 Columbia street, confessed to having taken a number of pipes from the -pipe organ of the First Methodist Episcopal church. The two boys, who are both 13 years old, will be turned over to the ju venile court. The mystery of the dis appearance of the pipes in the organ was solved as the result of the work of Lieutenant of Detectives Goltz and Detectives Morak and Howell. Six Arrested In Raid.

"You stop him," shouted Thomas, addressing Dr. Sommer. "or I'll stop him physically. There's the cloth down there," he went on, addressing two priests in the group. "W hy don't you get into this, too? Directors George Orton and A, C. Newell attempted to check the dis turbance at this time, but Thomas continued to speak. "You have re course through the recall." he said, "and I'd like to see you try it to morrow any day." Ryaa Vigorously Protests. When the discussion had quieted down Ryan went on. "We didn't bring on thi quarrel." he said. "I'm not here as a Roman Catholic, al though I am a Roman Catholic and I'm proud of it. I'm not here to rep resent any sect or creed. I have held publio office and I have always known that my public duties should be discharged regardless of sect or creed. "Here is Mr. Thomas, a public of ficial, stating that he will discrimi nate and vote against any Roman Catholio applying for employment as a teacher. As a citizen, I protest. . "It is all very well to talk about the recall, but every citizen has a right to scrutinize the acts of public officials and has the right when a fault is found to come in and state the wrong and demand correction. "The mere statement of Mr. Thomas a few minutes ago was a sufficient indictment. No man can justly sit on any board and maintain such atti tude. It is un-American. Rev. Father Daly was given the floor. He made the point that Mr. Thomas' ' action alienates a certain greup of citizens. "No one," he said, 'can charge the Catholics with being disloyal simply because before they have gone Into battle they have made the aign of the cross. Apology Held Insufficient. "I hate to think that my sister must bow her head in shame if she asks for a position as a teacher of this school board. The young woman over whom the controversy started It the daughter of a pioneer Orego- nian and her brother was in the serv ice a year and a half. Apologies are not sufficient for the wrong that has been done her. Mr. Thomas can talk about the re call, but if his attitude, as I see It, were translated into plain words, he would get the vote of only the red element. Mr. Thomas himself solicited my vote and I gave it to him. I asked him In Hibernia hall if he would give us a square deal and he said he would. Now he is not doing it. His resignation is tne only decent way I see out of this. I've investigated the records and find that this Is the first time In the history of Portland that a public of ficial has ever openly taken this stand. They have talked about it In politics, but no one has ever done so In office. It Is unfair and unconsti tutional, and if Mr.' Thomas expects the teachers to stand for law and order why doesn't he stand for law and order himself?" Rev. Father W. A. Waltt expressed similar sentiments. He said he was accepting Mr. Thomas' challenge to "the cloth" to take part. "Some time ago," he went on, "the city looked around to find a little girl to present to General Pershing a bou quet of flowers. They found a Cath olio child who had lost her father in the war. When that girl grows up should she seek a position as a teach er, I ask you. Is she to be discrimi nated against by the school board, a Elections for Next Term. -. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY.
