OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Nov. 24. The Lewis and Clark
Exposition project was successfully
launched In "Washington tonight at the
banquet tendered by Senator Mitchell to
52 Senators, Representatives and other
men of prominence at the Highlands. As
a net result ten Senators stand abso
lutely pledged to vote for the pending
Lewis and Clark bill, as do two Repre
sentatives, exclusive of members of the
Oregon delegation, and it is evident from
the spirit in which the proposed legislation
has been received by representative men
that flattering results are to follow when
the legislation comes formally before Con
gress. Senator Mitchell's dinner was pro
nounced one of the most successful held
In "Washington In years. Not only was it
a triumph in the caterer's art, but it suc
cessfully appealed to men who are In a
position to forward the Interests of the
Portland Exposition, and won their hearty
indorsement. It is apparent from senti
ments expressed this evening that the
great "West is united In its support of the
Senators and Representatives from Ore
gon. Launched under such favorable cir
cumstances, the Oregon delegation will
sea to it that the movement in behalf of
the pending bill is pushed to a successful
termination.
Those Present at Banquet.
Those present at the banquet tonight
were:
Senators Burrows, Fulton, Newlands, Clapp,

missioner. Dolllver Starts Ball Rolling.
The, banquet, given ostensibly for the
purpose of Introducing Senator Fulton,
soon resolved Itself into a Lewis and
Clark love feast. Shortly after Senator
Mitchell In a speech presented his col
league, and Mr. Fulton responded In a
happy .vein. Senator Dolllver broke
through the Xormallties In a brilliant Na
tional Indorsement of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition. He said that, having visited
Oregon and the Pacific Coast and come to
realize the future of tho commerce of the
Pacific, he could not but pledge his own
support to a bill that would prove an
educator, and would enlighten tho entire
country as to the conditions, prospects
and opportunities of the 'extreme West,
and especially in its relations with , the
Orient.
Congressman Grosvenor, of Ohio, a most
influential member of the House, ex
pressed himself as favorable to all ex
positions, and promised his support to
the pending measure. He said that In the
past a few hundred thousand dollars had
been appropriated for an exposition in
Ohio, but through failure of the state to
co-operate, tho amount had never been
expended. He offered this as a starter
for the Lewis and Clark Fair.
Mitchell on Objects of Fair.
Senator Mitchell rose to explain that In
asmuch as the subject of tho Lewis and
Clark Centennial had unexpectedly been
brought into the discussion, he would ex
plain the objects of the Exposition and
the work that had already been done by
Oregon and other "Western States a3
showing their good faith. This he did in
a brief speech that was roundly ap
plauded. Following this explanation. Senator
Perkins stated that, in view of the vast
Interests that would be benefited, his
state had already pledged Itself to sup
port the Exposition, and personally he
was ready to co-operate with Senator
Mitchell and his colleagues.
Colorado's support was assured by Sen
ator Patterson, of that state, who said
he and his people wanted to give Oregon
"whatever It wants."
Senator Scott, of "West Virginia, unqual
ifiedly, committed himself to support tho
pending bill, and to vote for the full
amount that was asked by Senator
Mitchell.
Sibley Is Converted.
A notable feature of the dinner was tho
conversion of Representative Sibley, of
Pennsylvania, who two years ago had
publicly announced he would "never again
vote for appropriations for expositions.
The Pennsylvania man said he had be
come convinced that the Lewis and Clark
Exposition was not to be a local affair
In any sense, but a timely educator that
would benefit alike the East and tho West,
and he, too, was ready to vote and work
for It
Like many who had preceded him, Sen
ator Nelson, of Minnesota, in indorsing
the Exposition, referred to the past suc
cess of Senator Mitchell and Representa
tive Hermann in securing appropriations
for the rivers and harbors of Oregon.
"But I am for the Lewis and Clark Ex
position even more heartily than for ap
propriations for your rivers and harbors,"
he said. "It presents great educational
advantages, and great benefit to the
whole American people Is certain to re
sult. I hope the delegation will be more
successful even than, it has been in the
past in getting river and harbor appro
priations." Senator Dubois, of Idaho, explained
what his state had already done to aid in
making the-Exposltion a success, and
went so far, with tho approval of Sen
ator Patterson, as to pledge tho united
support of the Democratic party in tho
Senate in behalf of the bill.
North Dakota's interest was fully set
forth by Senator Hansbrough, and the
hearty co-operation of the delegation
from that stato was assured.
"I am ready to support Senator Mitch
ell's bill with all the force I can com-

ROOSEVELT MAKES PEACE
Warring New York Leaders
Meet at White House,
THE GOVERNOR HAS HIS WAY

"WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. Senator
Thomas C. Piatt and Governor Benjamin
B. Odell, of New York, have reached an
absolute and entire agreement politically.
Both will work in perfect harmony with
each other and with President Roosevelt.
This, in brief. It Is announced, 13 the net
result of a conference held at the "White
House tonight. The parties to the confer
ence were the President, Senator Piatt,
Governor Odell and Chairman George "W.
Dunn, of the Republican State Committee
of New Tork.
For several months it has been known
that political differences existed between
Governor Odell and Senator Piatt. These
differences were of such a character as
to causo concern in tho minds of their
friends, although they; did not take the
form of alignment of factions In New
York State. They grew out of state ap
pointments originally, and, it Is stated,
practically were confined to state affairs.
The fear was expressed by some friends of
President Roosevelt that the trouble be-
-rlween the Governor and Senator Piatt
sooner or later might include National po
litical features; but it can be said author
itatively that at no time has either Gov
ernor Odell or Senator Piatt wavered in
his loyalty to President Roosevelt,
President Urges Peace.
Senator Piatt yesterday returned from
New York to Washington, accompanied by
Colonel Dunu. On Monday, by invitation
of President Roosevelt, they took lunch
eon at the "White "House. At that time the
President expressed a strong desire that
whatever differences existed between the
Senator and Governor Odell should be
adjusted. After the luncheon the Presi
dent telegraphed to Governor Odell an
invitation to come to "Washington to dis
cuss tho New York situation 'with him
and Senator Piatt.
Governor Odell arrived here today in
response to the invitation, and he and the
other parties to the conference dined with
the President at the "White House this
evening. Tho President believed, in view
of the numerous rumors about, it would
be a good Idea to have Governor Odell
and Senator Piatt meet him at tho "White
House.
The conference tonight was stated, after
Its close, to have been more than satis
factory. Senator Piatt and Governor
Odell havo come to an absolute agree
ment, and both will work in perfect har
mony with each other and with the Pres
ident, for the promotion of the welfare of
the Republican party. The conference was
concluded shortly after 10 o'clock. Gov
ernor Odell "from the "White House went
directly to tho Metropolitan Club. He de
clined to make any extended comment on
COMMISSIONER OF
EUGENE
a
tho conference, but, pressed for a state
ment; said:
"A satisfactory and harmonious agree
ment has been reached. Mattera at issue
have been compromised and satisfactorily
arranged."
At midnight Governor Odell left for New
York.
Odell Gets All He Wanted.
It is understood authoritatively that
Governor Odell was accorded all for which
he contended. The agreement reached to
night Is of such' a character that It Is not
considered now that tho necessity for fu
turo conferences will exist. It can be said
that Senator Piatt will continue as the
leader of the New York State Republican
organization, but Governor Odell will di
rect in detail the campaign in New York
next year.
Senator Platt declined to discuss in any
way the results of the conference, but It
is understood they were entirely satisfac
tory to him. Colonel Dunn confirmed the
statement that a satisfactory agreement
of tho Issues had been reached, and he
added that all the Republicans in New
York State would work In harmony for
the success of the National and state tick
ets. "You will observe," said Colonel Dunn,
figuratively speaking, "that there has
been a lot of hot bricks thrown around,
but they havo not been bitting anybody."
Colonel Dunn will leave for New York
tomorrow morning. Both Senator Platt
and Governor Odell have announced their
desire that President Roosevelt next year
should be nominated and elected. It can
be stated, however, that at? the conference
tonight the subject of National politics
was not considered, except in so far as
New York State politics naturally merged
into National affairs.
HE CAN BANK ON IDAHO.
Roosevelt Will Be Strongly Support
ed, Says Morrison.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Nov. 24. Governor John T. Mor
rison, of Idaho, who is In "Washington,
was asked as to the political situation
in Idaho. He replied:
"The state Is overwhelmingly Republi
can, overwhelmingly for Roosevelt The
policy of his administration is cordially
approved, and what is doing more than
all else to solidify the people In their
party attachment Is the aid to Irrigation.
"With Irrigation, the prosperity of our
section is put on a sure and permanent
basis. "We have an abundance of water,
and when, through reservoirs the Gov
ernment will build, that water can be
saved and turned upon our rich lands,
there can be no such thing as a failure
of the crops, but Instead each succeeding
year will see greater crops and larger
profits to the owners of the soli."
Foraker With Roosevelt.
PITTSBURG, Nov. 24 Senator John
Foraker, while here to attend the Cham
ber of Commerce banquet tonight, said
Roosevelt would be nominated without
any opposition, and that he will he elected
President. Under ro circumstances will
Senator Hanna be a candidate.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. It can be an
nounced that Eugene F. Ware, Commis
sioner of Pensions, will retire from that
office by about the middle of November
next, and will return Immediately to tho
practice of law in Kansas. His contem
plated action Is generally understood
among Kansas politicians, and has been
the subject of several Interviews with
tho President, which have been kept se
cret. The decision U resign and return to
private life is the result of Mr. Ware'3
long-felt dissatisfaction with the nature
of the duties of his office, a feeling that
has grown steadily since the early days
of his administration of that bureau. Mr.
Ware has steadfastly refused to dlscuj3
the matter when asked for Information en
the subject, despite: the general under
standing among those In a position to
know, and tonight declined to admit he
has or ever had any intention of tender
ing his resignation.
Mr. Ware's acceptance of the office last
Spring created much surprise at the time.
He had a law practice that was one of
the largest In Kansas, and it brought
him considerably more Income than his
salary as Commissioner of Pensions. He
had not been in office long before he began
to feel the effect of the large amount of
routine work that devolves upon the- head
of the office. Mr. Ware has Insisted on
the expedition of the work of his bureau
and Improvement of the standard of
service performed by the personnel of his
bureau, and It Is said to bt probable that
the work of the office will be brought up
to date by the first of July, the beginning
of the next fiscal year.
Despite the secrecy with which the pro
posed change of the head of the Pen
sion Bureau has been guarded, a number
of candidates already have developed. Ex
Representatives Blue and Peters, both of
Kansas, have been mentioned In connec
tion with the successorshlp to Mr. Ware.
CAN PRODUCE THE PLAY.
Manager Conreid Defeats Heirs of
Wagner in Suit Over "Parsifal."
NEW YORK. Nov. 24. Judge Lacombe,
In the United States Circuit Court, today
declined to grant the Injunction asked
for by Coslma Wagner and Siegfried
Wagner, heirs of the late Richard Wagner,
restraining Manager Heinnch Conreid
from producing the dramatic festival play
"Parsifal." In addition to the many legal
points presented by counsel representing
Mrs. Wagner and her son In support of
his contention that Manager Conreid's
production in New York would be illegal,
the lawyer appealed to the court to pre
serve the sacred atmosphere with which
the widow and son. surrounded the com
position and prevent its production on any
stage other than that at Bayreuth.
Ex-Judge DIttenhoefer, representing
Mr. Conreid, declared . great many of
the sentimental claims mede by plain
tiffs' counsel were not founded upon fact,
and established the fact by affidavits that
the great composer himself had parted
with at least the publication rights of the
play for a consideration of 77,000 German
marks to the firm of R. Schotte Sons,
Malnze.
