RE-ELECTION OF DE VALER A LOST BY CLOSE VOTE Dail Refuses to Return Former President to Leadership of Country; Ireland now With out Active Government. OFFICE OF PREMIER River Fishing Law May Be Invalidated PORTLAND, Jan. 7. (Special) The Fish and Game commission it was learned here today, will ap- peal the decision rendered by Judge J. U. Campbell, which would, open the Willamette river to commercial .fishing. REFUSES TO TELL NAME OF WOMAN IN MURDER CASE LOCAL MAN BACK FROM TRIP THROUGH EUROPE 6C "J!5r&$f;-A Awafefc. Arthur Griffith Suggested as Possible Successor; Naming of Provisional Head Slow. DUBLIN, Jan. 9. Ireland tonight was without a government of its own. Eamon de Valera had resigned from the presidency and the proposal for his re-election to that office, which includes the office of premier, was defeated in the Dail Eireann, 60 to 58. The supporters of the treaty were not anxious to submit any name for the presidency. Michael Collins sub mitted a motion that the Dail should request Arthur Griffith to form a pro visional government. A noteworthy feature of Mr. de Valera's Jater statement was that talk of fratricidal strife was all nonsense; the Irish people would know how to conduct themselves. He objected to the creation of any alternative government which would suppress the Dail, and declared that if the republic as it existed were abandoned he and his followers would walk out. The Willamette river, through a de- cision rendered by Judge J. U. Camp bell in the Circuit Court Saturday, is j onen to commercial ulmnn fishina. ' Judge Campbell sustained the de murer of the defense brought in the appeal of the case of the state against Charles Gates, which was tried in the Justice court. Gates was arrested Jan uary 4 for violation of the game code ruling that there shall be no commer cial fishina north rf -fhft Oreonn flitv INCLUDED IN DEFEAT! bridge to the juncture of the Willam ette and the Columbia. Based upon the recent legislation creating a closed and open season on the Columbia and Willamette rivers, Judge Campbell held the defendant wag completely within his rights. AUTHORITY CONTESTED Gilbert L. Hedges appeared for the fishermen and In arguing the demur rer contended that the section author izing the fish commission to close streams in the state of Oregon to fish ing for commercial purposes had been so amended that it. was without vitali ty and gave to the Commission no such power. He- called to attention that there was a specific st passed by the legislative assembly in 1921 creating an open and closed season on the Willamette river north Of the bridge at Oregon City, arid that de fendant, in the case in question, was within his rights and protected under the enactment. , Originally the fish commission had power to close the stream to to sal mon fishing and to fishing for other food fishes in the streams of the state under a section in the fish and game code first passed in 1901. But Hedges contended this section had been so amended and the Legislative Assembly of 1921 had also passe da special act defining open and closed seasons on the Willamette river, that the' two were in conflict and that the act con ferring the authority on the fish com mission to close the stream was ne gatived and nullified by this specific act relating to the Willamette river, i CODE IS ABUSED Speaking of Judge Campbells ruling, j Mr. Hedges said that the fish and j game code was always made a foot- j ball in Legislative assemblies, and the original code had been so amended, changed, altered and revised in many places that it was contradictory, and in most places was indefinite and un certain. "The trouble, with most fish legislation," continued Mr. Hedges, is that it is not prepared in advance of the legislative assembly and that amendments and changes are made at the eleventh hour and these are us ually contradictory and ill-considered. The result is our fish and game code is in dire need of a thorough revision by those competent to make it. If this were done, much of the trouble usually encountered in enforcing the fish laws would disappear." The case was the outgrowth of dif ficulties with the fish and game com mission dating to the first of last year. On the night of April 26, a num 5:-: 11 N. J.

It adopted a resolution, how ever, providing for an international commission to study the aircraft ques tion witn a view of future limitation. "INNOCENT," IS CLAIM WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 A sweep ing declaration of his innocence was made by Senator Newberry, Republi can, Michigan, today in the senate. Taking the floor for his defense in the ouster proceedings brought by Henry Ford, defeated Democratic candidate, Senator Newberry emphat ically denied personal knowledge of the collection or expenditure of the large campaign fund spent in his behalf. Clarence Loud, shoe salesman of .Melrose, Mass., who is in jail for the murder of patrolman James Preston of the Wakefield, Mass., Police De partment on April ninth last, still re fuses to divulge the identity of the mysterious woman who was with him. Loud is a married man and has two young sons. He is popular in Boston social and fraternal life and his friends are raising funds for his defense. fight with wardens of the commission who were enforcing the game code regulations. Subsequently 14 of the local men were placed under arrest, but at their trial before Judge Noble May 3, were cleared by the jury. The matter was then taken up by the commission, which May 11, issued an order, effective June 1, closing the river to all net or other fishing for commercial purposes. Gates, who was one of the leaders in the affair, was found fishing in the river last Wednesday, and arrested by Constable Ed. Fortune on a war rant charging him with violation of the code. Taken before Judge Noble, he was convicted on strength of the law, and fined $50. The case was immediately taken into the c'rcuit court, where the demurer presented by the defense was taken under ad visement, and Judge Campbell's order issued Saturday. A proposal to license rooming houses, hotels, restaurants, barber shops, and in fact all public places in Oregon City, is advanced by Chief of ISlted LJuring Otay Abroad , of the improvement of conditions In Oregon City. This action, explains the , . . 1 chief, would be solejy for the purpose N. J. Sondergard, who left Oregon. , ,,otJ A ,j o. City August 25tn for a visit to his old I a hMVV license fee. At present, the chief says, Oregon City has no license plan for public places of an ordinary nature, and thus it is practically Impossible to en force regulations without a ser(ies of criminal prosecutions,-' and even if such were undertaken it would be practically impossible to make them close their doors. If a system of licensing were inaug urated, it is pointed out, the council would then have direct control of practically every public place in the city. If they were not operating In accordance with the regulations of the charter the license would be revoked. Thus an effective check upon them would be provided. Chief May points out that In the great majority of cases no such rule is necessary but that if it did exist it would serve as a means for the handling of one or two places beyond the reach of present regulations. A license, placing houses under municipal supervision would, it is said, have a good moral effect upon the town in general as the individuals operating these, places would be less liable to .violate the laws, knowing that they could be put out of business. rather than merely fined a few hun- home country, Denmark, has returned to Oregon City, after visiting a num ber of European countries before starting homeward, including Ger many, Sweden and Norway. On Sept ember 2nd Mr. Sondergard embarked on the steamship Hillig Olav at New York, and made the trip over-seas In nine days. The homeward trip re quired 14 days. He visited his home at Copenhagen, where his father, H. N. Sondergard, two sisters and two brothers, whom he had not seen for eight years re side. After some time at his old home he started on his journey to see some of the other countries of Europe. He first visited Berlin, Germany, where he found all factories in operation, many of which were operating day and night, while in that city he made a special trip to view the home of the Ex-Kaiser, and found that a number of the buildings still show the damage done by the revolutionists. He also visited Hamburg, where he' found the best of hotel acomodations at 175 marks, equivalent in American coin being $1 a day. Beer is selling at one cent a glass, and champagne (in U. S. money) was being disposed Of at 25 cents per bottle. Before leaving Germanic Mr. Son dergard desired to visit some of the American soldiers, but tourists are , dred dollars.

In making a 20-mile trip by electric car it re quired tw-o hours time, while Mr. S.ondergard later made the same dis tance in a Ford in 45 minutes. He preferred the automobiles after that. These cars stop at nearly every block and carry freight. Mr. Sondergard even preferred to walk than to ride on these electric cars. While in Europe he had his first experience with snow on October, this continued for a few days at a time. After enjoying his vacation he has resumed his duties. He is a member of the firm of Huerth & Sondergard. of Eighth and Railroad avenue. The proposal has been submitted to the council, but as yet no definite ac tion has been taken. It is considered probable that recommendations will be made by the health and police com mittee at the next session of the city fathers. WEST LINN HIGH NOTES PARLEY IS HALTED CANNES, France, Jan. 9.

Councilmen , C. E. Frost and O. E. Freytag made a report on the advisability of joining on to Portland's water supply.
