Big Vote Tonight the selective draft bill was Dressed for Dassaae in both houses, with the indications that before mornine; both would approve it without material change in the more impor tant provision written into it by the armv seneral staff and approved by President Wilson. In the senate the vote on the volunteer amendment was 69 to 18 and in the house it was 279 to 98, supporters of conscription marshaling a strength which surprised even administration leaders. Accepts Idea Whether' congress finally would accept the staffs recom-. mendations regarding the ages between which conscription would apply appeared more uncertain. In the senate the bill's stipulation that men between 1 9 and 25 should be liable to the draft was changed to make the minimum 21 and the maxi mum 27. The house voted down all proposed changes in the military committee's recommendation that the limits be fixed at 21 and 40. MACHINERY OF DRAFT ALREADY IN HANDS OF SALEM, Or., April SO.

Governor WIthycombe la charged with carrying; the plans into effect In Oregon, and It Is presumed the orders will come from the war department to put them Into operation Just as soon as the conscription bill is signed by the president Although definite information, rel ative to the plan is not available, it is understood that the election ma chinery will be utilized in registering men. Registration blanks will call tor all data required by the conscription bill. and to facilitate the work county phy sicians will likely be made federal officers for the purpose of making a physical examination of those regis tering. While the governor will put the plans into execution, the expenses of registration will be paid by the federal government After the registration Is completed the data will be forwarded to the war department, and then, it is understood, will commence the selective drafting of the men from the registration rolls. It Is presumed that this work will be supervised and carried out by govern ment officials. 34 , WEEK COMES TO END With the arrival of final bits of equipment, 34 new looms in the new addition to the Oregon City Woolen mills will be started sometime during the week, possibly tomorrow. , The new looms are already In place.

' Kahn's amendment turned the bill Into what President Wilson and his war heads wanted a straight out and out selective conscription method. The house cheered wildly as the af firmative vote was announced. When to the surprise of members a subse quent announcement of the negative vote showed but 98 for the volunteer plan, the cheering and stamping was deafening. A weaker shout greeted Saunders request for "noes." Chairman Dent asked for tellers the nearest to a rollcall vote that can be obtained in a session of the "com mittee of the whole on the state of tho union." A crowd, swirling and surging, that looked as If it included every congress man and every clerk arose and joined in a crush at the front of the cham ber, ready to walk getween Chairman Dent and Representative Kahn, the tellers, up the center als'e of the house to show they were for the amendment. There was no record . vote. That will come later. The house, when the vote was taken, was In committee of the whole. A roll call will come later In the day.
