(Special) California legislators will
probably "see the light" in the alien
land bill matter, and will acept a
new bill written this afternoon by
Attorney-General Webb, in which the
words "ineligible to citizenship" are
omitted. . , s
Tins much was accomplishel after
three secret conferences with Secre
tary of State Bryan, who came here
as the special representative of Pres
ident Wilson to "confer" with the
California solons in regard ' to the
proposed law that raised so much ob
jection from the Japanese govern
ment. How Mr. Bryan persuaded the Cal
if ornians to change , their bills is still
a mystery, but is regarded as a great
piece of diplomatic work. The new
bill deals wholly with "aliens eligible
to citizenship,'' and with "all other
aliens, ' who may hold land "in- the
manner and to the extent prescribed
by treaties."

The Civic Improvement committee
of the Live Wires decided to back
the endeavors of the Woman's club
in seeking to have a woman placed
as an inspector, with the chief of po
lice, to supervise the markets of this
city. This conclusion was arrived at
after a joint meeting of a committes
from the Woman's club and the- civic
committee of th Live Wires in the
parlors of the Commercial club Tues
day evening.
j The matter was discuessed from
! -every point of view and it. was decid
ed that it would be for the city's in
terest to have an inspector of mar
kets appointed by the- council. It
was urged that the women will have

A petition signed by 49 commercial
fishermen was presented to Presi
dent B. T. McBain, of the Live Wires
of the Commercial club, Tuesday
night, requesting, the club to lend its
good offices in interceding ' with the
government for a change in dredging
plans at the mouth of the Clackamas
rixer until the close of the gi lnet
ting season, which opens May 1, for
30 days. The fishermen set forth in
t'eir petition that the present and
planned operations of the federal gov
ernment, in deepening the channel of
the Willamette, will seriously inter
fere with their own operations dur
ing the short season they are allowed
to fish.
In addition to this it is set forth in
the petition that the dredging oper
ations will a'so prove a menace to
the nets, and to the lives and safety
of the fishermen. The gillnetters be
lieve that the government work can
be temporarily shifted to some other
part of the steam, and through their
petition they ask the Commercial
club to assist them in getting the
matter before the authorities.
Mr. McBain will take the matter
up with Major Mclndoe, in charge of
the government engineering work in
this district, and will request that
I interests of the fishermen be regard
j ed as much as possible. It is be
i 'ieved that Major Mtelndoe will be
i willing to make minor changes in the
! dredsing program. ,and that much of
! the relief asked for by the fishermen
, will be granted. The matter will be
3 ! taken up in detail at once, so that
a there need be no confusion or delay

The Live Wires Tuesday broke !
away from the usual discussion of i
local matters and devoted a large j
share of their weekly luncheon hour '
to the consideration of a reso'ution '
urging the national administration !
and congress to stand firm for the i
is said to have made, and his defense ffree toll clause in the law relating to
win ua conuuctea ,Dy lieorge T.
Brownell and Gordon E. Hayes, who
have been retained to act in his be
half. Gault will enter a plea of not
guilty, and one of the most interest
ing legal battles of Clackamas, county
court history will probably follow.
The facts in the case, as far as
known, are meagre and brief. Gau't
and his step-father never got along
well together, and it is said that the
elder man constantly "nagged" the
lad. One day, according to tin boy's
story, the two were moving the "stove
in the kitchen of their shack, and an
argument arose as to where the arti
cle should be placed. Words led to
harsher language, and final y, it is
alleged, the step-father grasped a
knife and made a slash at the lad.
The boy stepped back and warned his
foster parent not to attack him; but
the elder man. persisted in Jris threat
ening attitude and made a second
lunge' at the boy. Driven to desper
ation, the youth grasped a short
handled axe, and in warding off the
blows rained upon him by the older
man. struck the step-father over the
head with his weapon of defense.
Subsequently he took tha body out
into the woods and buried it, where
it was found later when he led offi
cers to the spot. According to the
law, tHe boy, but 17 years o'd on the
night of the altercation, liad done
murder, anf -
... m.oivre must be tried
for his life bpforo a v
w his peers.
Gault has been in the county jail
since .the latter part of last year, and
was one of the prisoners who refused
freedom at- the time of the recent
jailbreak, when two men, in for a
year's sentence apiece, cut their way
out of the county bastile, and left a
the Panama canal tolls, enacted at
the last session of congress. W. S.
TJ'Ren urged the adoption of the reso
lution, which embraced the following
sentence: - .
"We. believe the principle of Am
erican control of American' enter
prises, built upon American territory,
to be an inviolate right which can
not, in the very nature- of national
sovereignty, be jeopardized .by the
simple treaty rights entered into
with any other nation, and therefore,
the claim that the granting of free
tolls to American shipping is a viola
tion of the Hay-Paunceforte treaty is
self-evident sophistry."
J. E. Hedges f ought against the res
olution on the gronnd that the Am
erican nation has no right to violate
a treaty, and after a lengthy discus
sion, participated in by T. W. Sulli
van, W. S. TJ'Rren, W. A. Dimick, O.
D. Eby. B. T. MfcBain and others, the
resolution was amended by the with
drawa' of the objectionable sentence
and was passed, Mr. U'Rren voting
no, contending that the people should
repudiate any attempt on the part oof
treaty framers to outline the action
of future generations. The resolu
tion, which was wired to President
Wilson Tuesday afternoon, follows:
"We deprecate the widespread pro
paganda, manifestly carried on by
the great rail0' --
- interests," seeking
the nullification -
iavv providing
for free to'ls ' for American shipping j
through the Panama canal. Equal j
rghts to all foreign nations as such j
m the use of the Panama canal is
all that in justice and reason can be
demanded of the American nation.

( Protests and remonstrances! against
I the paving of Seventh street with
; hard surface materia1, if there are
! any, will be heard by the city coun
; cil Wednesday evening, when the im
j rrovm?nt of that thoroughfare will
: be taken up. Recorder Stipp has
i mailed post card announcements of
the meeting to all property holders,
and warned them to be on hand or
forever after to hold their peace.
It i3 the plan of the council to
complete all preliminary work for the
paving of this rapidly growing busi-
ness street, to decide upon tha kind
! of hard surfacing to I e used, and to
f5draw up the call for bids; so that
i there shall be no delay in going
j ahead with the matter as soon as it
is settled what shall be done with
regard to sawer work on the thor
oughfare. There is no inclination on
the part of the city administration to
order the hard-surfacing done before
the sewer work has been completed.
In al probability the adoption of a
sewer program for the street will be
determined at the same meeting, and
both lines of work wil be put in such
shape that there will be no delay in
making the double improvement.
Consulting Engineer Dieck, of Port
land, has advocated that the draining
of Seventh street be made a portion
of the trunk sewer work in District
No. 10, and it is believed that the
work can be done on this section of
the system immediately. Whether
or uo't the present drain can- be util
ized, either wholly or in part, with
the new system, is yet to be deter
mined. .
The council, howe.vsr, will prepare
all preliminary details, so-liat when
wecision is re:5 m regard to the
improvements, no time need be lost
in getting the work underway.

SNOWFilL 8T0
RESENTED HERE
Reports; printed in Portland after
noon uapers Tuesday to the effect
that the light snow that fell 'in the
eastern part of the county Monday
nicht and Tuesday morning had ser-
! iously damaged the fruit crop of that
people, and were charged to the
jealousy of other sections of the state
where the advance of Clackamas
county as an area of great resource
is regarded as a menace to booms at
home. : '
While there were perhaps four
inches of snow in the higher altitudes
the fall in the cultivated area . was
slight, and of short duration, ffoon
changing to rain. However, even had
there been as much snow as reported
in the exaggerated articles that made
their appearance, it is said the fruit
crop would not have been 'damaged,
as the trees are too far advanced to
have cold weather do more than re
tard full development.
Trees are in bloom practically i
throughout the .county, and but little j
damage can now b? dqne by any snow
that falls at this season. Far great
er damage may be done by a heavy
rain, which by beating the petals
from the blooms, may spoil the de-
I velopments of the fruit. Trees in
the immediate vicinity of the county
i seat were undamaged to any serious j
extent by the storm. :
BUT THREE TOPERS
TAKEN IN MONTH
In spite ot the fact that, the pres
ent month has seen the annual Boost
er Day celebration and the com
mencement of the encampment of the
national guard at the Clackamas
range, there have been but three ar
rests for drunkeness in this city so
far since the first of the month. The
third man was taken into custody
early Tuesday morning when unable
to find his rooms.
Last month the city council refused
to re-issue the licenses of three sa
loons which, the police say, had not
been conducted in a proper manner,
and since these licenses expired the
city has been much more' orderly.
Other saloons close at 11 o'clock in
the- evening. In previous months
there have been from 30 and up ar
rests for drunkeness eacFh month.
