LONDON, Feb. 4. The Turks re
main on the defensive at Tchatalja
tnd Adrianople. The Adrianople fort
ress replies only feebly to the Bul
garian bombardment, and apparently
jno attempt has been made in the way
lot a sortie.
A bombardment of Adrianople, de
scribed as terrific, was begun last
bight, the Bulgarians and Servian
roops investing the place being esti
mated to number ,109,040. Military
nen who know something about the
everal lines of forts which form the
lefense of Adrianople look for a pro
onged defense. This opinion appar-
ntly prevails within Adri;f.iople it-
elf.
Shurkri Pasha, the Turkish com-
nander, who is defending Adrianople,
las declared that he will not surren
der the fortress until the last cf his
oldiers has been killed.
The Turkish newspaper Tanin as-
erts that Adrianople has sufficient
provisions for four months, and oth-
r Turkish reports declare that the
ortress certainly will be able to hold
lut for several weeks.
Official quarters in Constontinople
adiate a spirit of great confidence
n the new regime and declare that
ttie conditions of the country and the
.intry weather preclude serious op-
rations along the Tchatalja lines for
he preseint.
Meanwhile, diplomacy has made no
tep forward since the resumption of
ostilities and. the Porte has made
o further communication, either to
he powers or the allies. Should it
irn out that Adrianople can resist
br any considerable time, diplomatic
egotiations are likely to remain at
standstill, although in the Euro-
ean capitals a settlement by diplo-
lacy rather than by arms is hoped

Although no serious fighting has
curred along the Tchatalja lines,
e Bulgarian troops are not idle. The
llage of Tchatalja, which has hith-
to marked the limit of the Bulgar-
lines, is in flames. Its destruc-
on was apparently decided on for

President Would Satisfy Southern
Constituents by Choosing Ore
gon Senator for Cab- -,iney
SALEM, Or., Feb. 4 Placing en
tire credence in the report, said to
have emancipated directly from Wash
ington, that President Wilson intends
to name United States Senator George
E. Chamberlain as a member of his
cabinet, and that this will lead to the
resignation of West as Governor, and
his appointment to wear the Cha.in!er
lain toga by Secretary Olcott, who
will succeed to the Governor s chair
Republican leaders of both Legislative
branches are in a quandary.
The situation in all its aspec ts has
been freely discussed and little else
has been the topic of conversation
since the report became widely dis
seminated -y&sterday morning, it is
evident that the Republican members
of this Legislative Assembly, howev
er, are at a distinct disadvantage,
and there is no method by which
they can balk the suspected plans of
the Democratic forces without dam
aging their own party.
The first step considered was to
adjourn the Legislature until April 1,
by which time President Wilson will
have been inaugurated and will have
assumed the reins of government and
named his cabinet. It was argued
that, as a United States Senator serv
ing by Gubernatorial appointment,
holds office only until the next ses
sion of the Legislature of the state
from which he shall have received
appointment, West's successor could
be elected from Republican ranks
and his tenure would be not longer
than a month.
This solution of the problem which
Republican leaders believe confronts
them, has distinct disadvantages. In
the first place, it is asserted, the
election of one Republican to the
United States Senate would give the
balance of power to that party. That
the President realizes this and would
never name Chamberlain as a cabinet
officer should the Oregon Legislature
adjourn only to April 1, is generally
conceded.
In reprisal, it is believed, the Pres
ident then would refuse to name a
Western man as Secretary of v-he In
terior. That this is the position for
which Chamberlain himself is slated
is suspected by many, who fee! that
it would be better for the state to
have such representation than to try
to keep West out-of the United States
Senate. A few believe that Chamber
lain is billed for a portfolio other
than that of the Secretary of the In
terior. Taking either horn of the di
lemna, however, the "politicians hold
ing sway during this session feel that
not much is to be gained now byac
tion striking at West's political " as
pirations. The consensus , of opinion is that
one of the reasons causing President
Wilson to observe strict secrecy re
garding the personnel of his cabinet
is the situation which might develop
in Oregon from premature puUl'Uty.
There is none but admits that "Our
George" is always "there with bells '
when it comes to reaching for avpluin
and that his motive is never - unsel
fish. So far as he is concerned, they

Trembath was on guard in a house
near the falls when he saw two men
in a skiff pass. He says he ordered
them to halt, but they did not, and
he fired at the skiff to mark it for
identification. The ball struck Douth
it in the right arm. Trembath declar
ed at the trial that he believed the
men were violating the fish laws.
Douthit denied that he was violat

hear the water bailiff order him to
halt. Soon after the shooting Douth

in a barber shop, beating him severe

Reported by Committees
SALEM, Feb. 4. (Special.) The
chief interest of the session for to
day came from Representatives GiH
and Schuebel of the Clackamas Coun
ty delegation, when they introduced
a resolution directed at . the master
fish warden and demanding an inves
tigation of conditions at, the Bonni
ville Central hatchery and other hatch
ies of the state. They declared in
the resolution that large expenditures
of money on concrete fish ponds at
the central hatchery had been" render
ed through cracks and defects which
have made the ponds useless and
have also made it necessary to prac
tically reconstruct them. They fur
thhe alleged that Fish Warden Clan
ton had ordered 2000 thousand dead
fish to be buried in the sands to cov
er up delinquencies and that other
charges could be lodged.
Fish Warden Clanton refused to
make a complete statement owing to
the fact that his work is subordinated
to that of the State Fish and Game
Commission but did say that an in
vestigation is courted, that the fish
ponds are not rendered worthless as
charged, that he never ordered any
one to burydead fish and 'that what
dead fish may have been found were
killeoNby heavy storms.
Representative Gill said that the
complaints which have been lodged
do not come from Oregon City fishermen.
Both the 10-hour bill of Schuebel
and the eight-hour bill of Dimick will
be reported out next Wednesday into
the Senate according to a statement
of Chairman Smith of the Industries
committee before which there has
been a red hot hearing on the 10-hour
bilh --The Schuebel bill has been in

Councilman Tooze -Sharply Criticizes
. Persons for Taking Advantage
of Legal Technical-aties
The Civic Improvement Committee
of the Live Wires threw a bomb shell
into that organization Tuesdav after
the regular weekly luncheon, when it
presented us report anent the unsan
itary conditions prevaling here. Dr.
van Brakle, chairman of the commit
tee that was appointed one week ago,
read a report -that is startling in it
self and gives promise of no little ex
citement in the future. The commit
tee has in its possession no less than
121 specific violations of reasonable
cleanlines.
The presentation of the report was
received with warm applause, indicat
ing that the Live Wires are a unit in
demanding better observance of the
rules of sanitation in Oregon City.
One of the members of the commit
tee intimated that unless the city
was cleaned up in reasonable time
that complaints would be issued and
arrests made.
L. Stipp, a member of the commit-"
tee and City Recorder, made a clear ,
statement of the aims of the commit
tee and said :
"When this committee is through,
Oregon City will be a . pretty clean
town."
-Dr. van Brakle said the committee
desires to find out just how much pub
lic opinion is back of the movement
for a betterment of civic conditions,
and Councilman Tooze told of the
difficulties encountered in inducing
property owners to keep their prem
ises clean and he sharply criticized
people for taking advantage of trif
ling legal, technicalities.
Speaking for the committee, Dr.
van Brakle referred to the H. E. Cross
property on the hill, about which . .
complaint has been made. He said
the committee, after iiaving made an
investigation, sympathized with Mr,
Cross, who is the Main Trunk Line
of the Live Wires and he voluntered
the information Mr. Cross had agreed to
clean up around his premises as soon
as the bad weather ceases. The com
mittee's report follows:
"Immediately after appointment
the committee met and organized,
electing Dr. J. A. van Brakle Chair
man and F. A. Olmsted Secretary.
Considering good health to ' be the
chief asset of a city the committee
determined to first investigate the
possibilities of improving . that all
important subject.
