-— APRIL 25 -—
Senate Has Roittix Rill
WASHINGTON — The cash
bonus issue rode into the senate
today for its supreme test, bol
stered by a favorable report from
the senate finance committee on
the compromise Harrison plan.
Demands for a full cash payment
of the adjusted service certificates
were sharply turned down by the
committee in approving the Harri
son bill. They will be battled for
on the senate floor, scene of all the
final conflicts during all the years
of bonus agitation.
The conservative finance com
mittee, however, made an impor
tant concession to the veterans be
fore reporting the measure. It at
tached an amendment to give the
soldiers cash instead of bonds on
the surrender value of their cer
tificates.
Written in also was an amend
ment to permit the president, in
his discretion, to pay the certifi
cates out of the $4,880,000,000
work relief fund recently voted by
congress. Offered by Senator Gore
(D-Okla.), the proposal was adop
ted despite protests by adminis
tration leaders.
Vole Favors Mooney
SACRAMENTO—The final vote
on the Brennan resolution asking
Governor Merriam to commute the
life sentence of Tom Mooney and
Warren K. Billings to time served
was 51 “ayes” to 2S “noes.”
Assemblyman Minard of Fresno
served notice of reconsideration,
holding up immediate transmittal
of the resolution to the governor.
Sees Business Pickup
WASHINGTON. — A business
pickup — healthy, but not healthy
enough to slash unemployment—
was forecast for the fall today by
the American Federation of Labor.
Estimating the number of job
less at 11,500,000 and relief rolls
at. 22,000,000, the federation said:
“Industrial production this
spring is lagging. Producers are
holding back because of the uncer
tainty over legislation in congress,
over enforcement of NRA through
the courts, over the situation in
ICurope.
“Consumers are spending in
come accumulated, however, and
preliminary reports show Easter
trade ten per cent above last year.
This eventually will lift produc
tion: prospects are good for a
healthy pickup in business next fall
but no indications yet of a rise
large enough to reduce unemploy
ment."

1912'Canoe Carnival Feature
Is Inter-scholastic Aquatics
The University’s second annual
canoe carnival, (the first actually
to take place) was entitled “The
First Annual Inter-Scholastic
Aquatic Meet” and occurred on the
Eugene mill race, June 11, 19111
under the auspices of the Varsity
canoe club. All events were under
the supervision of Harold Young
and Wallace Benson.
Professor Art A. Cavill, noted
swimming instructor of the Mult
nomah athletic club proved to be
the main drawing card for the 1912
Carnival. He gave an exhibition of
his skill, especially in lifesaving.
About 20 prep school athletes came
to Eugene from Portland to par
ticipate in the aquatic program.
The climax of the meet was to
have been a canoe tilting contest
between a number of varsity teams
but due to lack of entries that con
test had to be abandoned.
The events consisted of swim
ming and diving, and a life-saving
exhibition by Lewis Thomas, a
young Portland swimmer, who had
won the Christmas swim in the
Willamette river the two preced
ing years. Others performing at
this time were Don and Virgil
Vickers, two local swimming and
diving experts of that time.
Not a thing happened to mar
the success of the second annual
canoe carnival and due credit was
given to the Varsity canoe club
for it's management of the affair.

begin his final baseball season at

Historic Memoirs Ruined
Rv Flames
SALEM, April 25. (API—A
roaring, fast-spreading fire gutted
the state capitol building here to
night and threatened to sweep the
entire structure following the col
lapse of the copper dome.
When the dome crashed into the
inferno, showering sparks threat
ened Willamette university build
ings on one side and large city
residences on the other. Fire fight
ers trained streams of water on
the roofs of buildings where the
sparks were descending.
It was roughly estimated that
$1,500,000 damage would be
wrought by the fire. The capitol
was constructed at a cost of $700,
000, but little of the expensive
furnishings were saved before
workers retreated before the re
lentless march of flames.
Losses Uninsured
The state carried no insurance
on the building and had only about
$140,000 in a special fire fund of
its own.
Both the senate chamber and
the house of representative hall
on the second floor wore ravaged
by the flames which peeled the
paint from pictures of Oregon’s
governors and destroyed other
historical memoirs.
The entire third floor of the
capitol was swept by the flames.
On the third floor was the Ore
gon liquor control commission of
fice, the state police headquarters,
the vocational educational depart
ment, the bureau of labor, the for
estry department, and the auditing
department.
Personal Effects Saved
An outside stairway entrance to
the second floor of the building
permitted removal of some effects
from the office of Governor Char
