JAPAN THREATENS
WAR ON CHINESE
Rumors From Secret Sessions
' of the ''Open" Peace
CouncilDisquietning.
SECRETTREATY APPEARS
China, Looks to Bg Powore to Stabil
ize the Situation and Free Her
From Pact Made At The
Dictation of Japanese.
(The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 That the
Peace congress is not meeting with
any great success in adjusting the
. strained relations existing between
. various powers, is becoming a flxed
conclusion, and it is officially
stated that Japan has virtually threat
ened war if China makes public cer
tain secret treaties between the two
countries, and failB to live up to the
terms of alleged prior agreements to
make Japan successor of Germany in
regard to privileges and rights, as
well as In property and concessions
held by the Germans in Chinese terri
tory at the outbreak of the war. The
attitude of Japan toward China in
the peace conference is causing grave
apprehension among delegates of the
other powers. It is alleged, and whe
ther the attempts to fram a league
of nations pact, can be successfully
concluded is the problem that appears
to be yet far away. In fact, If as
alleged, Japan Insists on China keep
ing the secret treaties hid-, and tho
agreements are brought out in oppo
sition to the Japanese demands, an
open rupture may be the result, pro
viding the Jap representatives live up
to their veiled threat to declare war.
China, on the other hand is pinning
her faith and hopes to the peace con
ference for a Anal amicable adjust
ment of the difficulty between that
government and Japan, and her dele
gates have made an excellent Impres
sion. The Chinese are courting the
aid of Great Britain and the United
States. Copies of the secret treaties
existing between Japan and China
were stolen from the Chinese repres
entatives to the peace conference as
' the mission was passing through Ja
pan enroute to Paris, so the envoys
stated on their arrival at the French
capital, consequently they have been
unable to make known the full text
of the secret treaties at the confer
ence. ATTACK' NEAR ARCHANGEL.
LONDON, Feb. 11. Bolshevik!
forces launched an infantery attack
against the allied positions near Sred
makrenga, on Saturday, but were re
pulsed. This point of attack is south
east of Archangel. In quite extensive
operations Friday, in which the Unit
ed States, British and loyal Russian
troops improved their positions ma
terially, Bolshevists suffered heavy
casualties.
ADOPT CONSTITUTION.
WEIMAR, Feb. 11. The German
national assembly today adopted a
provisional constitution with little
amendment to the original draft. A
national president will be elected
today.
The joint committee of the house
and senate of the state legislature
baa favorably reported the bill pro
viding $2,600,000 for a Roosevelt
Memorial coast road, dependent on
a like federal appropriation. This
was the substance of a telegram
which reached L. J. Simpson today
from Representative JoneB, chairman
of the committee. The bill must
now pass the house and senate ana
receive the signature of the governor
but the favorable reporting by the
committee is a long step. Passage
of the bill is now regarded as a close
certainty. How important the bill
is to Coos Bay 1b Indicated by the
fact that the Roosevelt memorial
highway would mean a road from
Astoria to the Curry county line. An
Important feature of the bill Is the
attachment of an emergency clause
which would make it effective lmme
dlately upon passage. Coos Bay

BADLY DAMAGED
Residents of Alexander's Addition
are preparing to vacate their homes
In order to prevent becoming Isolated
by the destruction of the Alexander
Bridge which Is threatening to go
out any moment. The central pier
has been undermined on the South
Side, and as was stated In the News
several days ago, and the top has
moved about five feet up-stream
(browing the structure greatly out of
line. The water is higher than it has
been for many years and the bridge
is gradually leaning more and more
until a few feet runner win put It in
the stream. The county court can
take no action owing to the fact that
it is private property and as there is
considerable litigation in regard to
the bridge there seeniB to be nothing
that can be done to prevent the cata
strophe. It is hoped that the pier
will strike a tinner foundation and
will hold until the water recedeB,
when the property owners can pos
sibly take some action. At the pres
ent time it would be impossible to
stop the destruction without a very
great expense, possibly greater than
the construction of anew bridge. Dr.
Brumlleld who resides In the Alexan
der Addition states that he will move
out at once and many others are
planning to follow his example.
COOS BAY WIRELESS
STATION SETS RECORD
From 4,900 miles away to the west
a radio message came today to the
Coos Bay Naval Radio station, the
only one which the ship could rouse
on the Pacific coast, says Tho Coos
Bay Times. This distance for a mes
sage sets a new record for the local
station. Because no other coast sta
tion responded the local wireless
operator took the message here,
which was from the steamer Yukon,
2,700 miles west of Honolulu, on its
way to Cavite, in. the Philippine Is
lands, and relayed it to Seattle. The
message was peculiarly distinct, said
Chief Stumpf, of the wireless station.
FISH INTERESTS
WILL TRY AGAIN
Undaunted By Defeat of Pet
Measure New Bill Is Intro
duced In Senate.
MONOPOLY IS THE AIM
Monopoly Would Bo Gained By Fall
ing Interests Who Are Repres
ented By One of Their
Strongest Leaders.
Following the dofeat of their pet
measure. House Bill No. 120, the fish
ing interests have proposed a new
bill, more" far-seeing in its action and
one which if approved, would result
in the complete monopoly of the nsn
industry, it is claimed. In regard to
Senate Bill No. 216, which was in
troduced by Senator Farrell of Port
land, a local resident had the follow
ing to s.vy:
"One of the most unprecedented
measures ever Introduced into the
Oregon Legislature is contained in
Senate Bill 216, Introduced by Sena
tor Farrell. of Portland.
"This bill proposes that the legis
lature shall delegate Its legislative
powers to. the fiBh and game com
mission, so far as it effects any pro
posed change or alteration of any law
regulating tne opening ana closing
of any season, both in hunting and
fishing, commercially and otherwise,
to regulate the method of catching
fish and appliances therefor. In
other words,' it empowers the fish
and game commission to make laws,
or change any laws prescribed by
the statute, relating to fish, game
animalB or birds. It makes of the
fish and game commission an auto
cratic power in the state, even .the
governor must obey Its mandate anu
issue proclamations at tne commis
sion's will. The question arises here,
have our laws been so perfected that
the people can turn over to five men
the absolute power to make laws.
regulate the many difficulties aris
ing both locally and state wide, per
taining to the one of the largest and
important asBests of the state? It
is believed that when tho people be
come informed as to the true meaning
and purposes of this proposed law
it will receive universal condemna
tion. Being introduced at the ele
venth hour it was probably thought
that it mlcht go through unnoticed.
It is easy to see who is behind the
bill by the record of the mau who
introduced It. According to the Jan
uary forth edition of the Oregon
Voter. Mr. Farrell is president of tne
Deep River Logging Co., the Pillar
Rock Packing Co., the Taylor Sands
Fish Co., the Columbia Fish Co., and
the Chinook Investment Co. He is
vice-president of the Alaska-Portland
Packers' Association and the Farrell
Investment Co." '

TO RESCUE BIRDS
Oppose Scheme to Destroy
Nesting Place of Wild
Water Fowl.
ONLY BIG RESORT LEFT
Lake is Practically The Last Of The
Once Near Countless Vast Areas
Where The Big Birds Chose
to Rear Their Young.
(By Associated Press.)
SALEM, Feb. 11. The proposition
of land promoters to drain Malheur
Lake and sell the lands to farmers,
is bringing a storm of protests from
all over the State. It is pointed out
by Wm. L. Finlay, state biologist,
that Malheur Lake is the one remain
ing breeding place for wild bird life
In the United States. All of the other
natural nesting places have been de
stroyed by the encroachments of civ
ilization, and the birds have gone
with the destruction of their breeding
haunts. Tho Malheur Lake Wild
Bird Reservation wns proclaintcd a
national park for the purpose by
President Roosevelt, who forsaw ulti
mate destruction of the wilu birds of
the west unless protection was afford
ed them. This reservation Is now
looked upon, since death called the
ex-presldent, as one of the greatest
and lasting memorials to his name.
Malheur and Harney counties have
declared war to the hilt on house bill
376. which proposes to turn the lake
into land projects. Other sections of
the state are coming up in uerenso or
the lake as it standB, and promoters
of the scheme will be given a hard
fight, before they will he permitted to
lobby their measure through the le
gislature.
State Biologist FInley states tnat
the Department of Agriculture has
had charge of this area and since
1908, has Paid wardons to protect it.
Oregon is morally bound not to com
mit the commercial crime of destroy
ing it. Malheur Lake Reservation is
as wonderful as Crater Lake, Mount
Hood or the Columbia Highway. It
is an asset to Oregon and the United
States as one of the last great wild
fowl nurseries."

of the general committee to have all
of the strikers who had returned to
their work without sanction of the
union leaders to again walk out, so
that they might return simultaneous
ly with the remnant, failed of results.
The men already at work refused
point blank to make" any further de
monstration, which waB looked upon
as a wiley ruse of the labor agitators
to make it appear that they had won
their contention and they return to

Supreme Court Opinion Says
That State Commissioner :
Acted Within Rights.
THE BILL WAS REFUSED
County Court Refuses to Pay Rill
Submitted By Accountants Em
ployed By tho State Insur
ance Commission.
Reversing the decision of Judge
Hamilton, .the supreme court held, in
a decision handed down today, that
the State Insurance Commissioner
has authority to contract with a third
party for the auditing of the county
books, suit having ooen brought
against the county and an appeal
taken to the supreme court by W. R.
Mackenzie and Son, accountants. The
suit was first brought in the cir
cuit court of this county following the
refusal of the county to pay the bill
presented by Mackenzie and Son for
the auditing of the county books. The
work was ordered by the State In
surance Commissioner, acting under
the provisions of an act of the legis
lature In 1913, which! provided a
uniform system of accounting and
reporting, supervision and inspection
of state and county offices and fin
ances. The county maintained at
that time that the work was not re
quested and no funds were assured,
and that the commissioner erred in
entering Into the contract wiih the
accountants.
The plaintiffs In that suit enter
ed a claim In their complaint for tho
sum of $S76.00, which had been pre
sented to and verified by tho com
missioner and submitted to the coun
ty court, which in turn refused to al
low the amount. The matter was
brought up December 19, 1918, when
the accountants sued out a writ of
review to the circuit court.' The writ
of review was dismissocL and an ap
.peal was taken to the Bupreme court.
The county held that the commis
sioner had no right to enter into
a contract for Douglas county and
that the enactment of the legislature
was unconstitutional.

REINSTATEMENT OF
IS
Petition Presented to School
Board Asking Instructor Be
Given Former Place. '
DISCORD IS ALLEGED
Petitioners Say That Injustice Was
Done "When Miss Ethel Tooze
Wns Changed From Rose
, to the Benson School. '. i' L
A meeting of the school board last
night, held a few thrillers outside
the usual routine of business, a con
troversy being revived in the form
of a petition presented by parents of
children attending the Rose school,
asking the re-instatement of Miss
Ethel Tooze, who was removod1 from
her posltiou in the Rose School, some
time ago, and assigned to a grade at
tho Benson School.
The petition was Blrjned by 56 re
sidents and was as follows: "We, the
patrons of the Rose P -hool, regretting
tho controversy that has rocently
arisen to disturb the harmony of the
institution, and bellevin nn injustice
has been done, respectfully ask for
tho re-iu sta tern on t of Miss Ethel
Tooze." .
The discord mentioned, dates back
to the commencement of the school
term, when three teachers, Mrs. Bens
handler, Mrs. Thornton and' Miss
Tooze wero assigned to the depart
mental work at tne Rose School.
Confusion aroso between them In re
gard to methods and other features
of the school work and as they were
unable to arrive at a decision the af
fair waB laid before the Bchool board.
The board of directors took the mat
ter from the hands of the City Super
intendent and after an Investigation
decided the best mot hod of creating
harmony was to separate the teach
ern with the result, that Miss Tooze
was assigned to the Benson school.
Her pupils, with whom she was in
great favor, lmmodintely rebelled and
the parents took a hand, the petition
being the result. The board, how
ever, Is taking no action at the
present timo and the request has been
laid' on the table for future action.
The petition was presented by Mrs.
Wendell Wright and Mrs, H. J. Deun, .
both of whom have children in the
class formerly taught by Miss Tooze
and who have been working earnestly
In an effort to have her returned to
her former position, which she ably
filled to the satisfaction of all, it is
contended by those presenting the
petition.
There was very little other busi
ness to bo considered by the board
of directors, other than the allowing
of the usual monthly bills and a fow
other minor routine matters.
