STATEHOOD IS IN DANGER Conservation Chances Dwindle. Members Would Like to Return Home, but Fear to Leave With. Work Undone. OREGONLVN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 1. The National lawmak ers are growing anxious for adjourn ment and this regardless of party, lor the campaign Is approaching and politi cal fences are in rather bad shape- The President on the other hand. Is not so anxious to get Congress off his hands, for up to the present time little general legislation has been finally enacted, and the Chief Executive does not want to see Congress adjourn until it has made a creditable showing and carried out some material portion of the pledge made in the Chlcavo platform. It is safe io say that every member of the House is anxious to get home. Most of the sitting members are can didates for re-election, and few among them feel absolutely safe, except the Southern Democrats. The scattering members who intend voluntarily to re tire at the close of this Congress are equally anxious for adjournment, for they have tired of public life and want as much time as possible to themselves. Senators Expect to Help. Among the Senators there is not such general anxiety to mingle with the folks at home, for only one-third of that body is to be re-elected next Winter. Never- theless a. great many Senators who have no campaigns of their own will be called upon to assist in the Congres sional and state campaigns in the Fall, and they all want a rest before they go upon the stump. The legislative situation at the present moment Is not entirely satisfactory to the Administration, for some of the measures in which the President is most concerned are seemingly in grave dan ger. To have Congress adjourn leaving these measures unacted upon would, in the judgment of many, be unwise politi cally, for it would subject the Republi cans to the charge of bad faith and un kept promises. That is the view the President t;ikes and that Is why he is not anxious for an early adjournment that is, unless a programme can be shaped up and rushed through in a hurry. In that event, providing he got what he wanted, he would be as willing as any to have Congress bring its ces sion to a close. Commerce Law Will Be Compromise. It is conceded by everyone that an Interstate commerce law will be enacted before adjournment, but In what form that law will be eventually passed and approved no one can yet predict. The Hou.s and Senate bills differ materially, and it will probably require weeks of de liberation in conference to compromise these differences and perfect a bill which will be acceptable to both branches. Nevertheless, it is conceded that such a compromise can be reached, and It is now believed that the bill eventually enacted will receive Presi dential approval. The postal savings bank bill, however, is in more precarious condition. Al though it has passed the Senate, tt has been emasculated by the House commit tee and two distinct measures are now before that body. The House Itself is divided; there are those who favor the Senate bill: those favoring each of the two committee bills, and those who are opposed to any kind of postal savings bank legislation. Just what the House will eventually do with this important legislation and legislation to which the President is thoroughly committed, and in which he is intensely Interested is more than the wisest man in Congress can now predict. Postal Hunk Bill Jn Danger. The House certainly will not pass the bill as It passed the Senate, and It may pass no bill at all. but if any sort of postal bank bill goes through, it must, like the commerce bill, go to a commit tee on conference for final adjustment, and the compromise measure may be such that it cannot get a majority vote Jti the House and thus the whole sub ect be sidetracked. Statehood legislation is In quite as ..precarious condition as the postal savings bank bill. A majority of both Senate and House believe that New Mexico and Arizona should be admitted to the Union as separate states. The House has so voted, but Senator Beverldge. chair man of the territories committee of the Senate, has never at heart favored sep arate statehood, and has eo loaded the statehood bill that its friends will have difficulty In working it through to final passage. If the Senate passes the bill as Beverldge reported it and of this there is serious doubt it will never be accepted by the House. It then will go 1 .(Concluded on Tags 2.i ' Canadian Party Will Begin Work at Same Time to Decide Where Line Shall Be.

Hearst has begun a libel suit against the New York Times be cause this newspaper reported the speech of Mayor Gaynor at the Asso ciated Press dinner on Thursday night in which the Mayor declared that "two State prison felonies, namely, a forgery and a falsification of a public docu ment, were committed in the eagerness of this published and editor (Hearst) to wrong the Mayor the City of New York."

R. & N. sta tion of that name, according to present plans of its citizens and a syndicate, which bas Just obtained options on land required for the purpose.

LEGISLATURE SUBMITS SIX Many Amendments to Consti tution Being Sought." INITIATIVE CROP LARGE7 Suffrage Petitions Already on File and Seven Additional Counties Sought Liquor and Tax ation Made Prominent. SALEM, Or., May L (Special.) Unless all signs fail the voters of Oregon will have their bands full of law-making and Constitution-tlnKerlng at the general election on November 8. Besides being called upon to select full state, district and county tickets, the electors of the state will be asked to pass upon from 25 to 30 measures submitted under the ini tlath'e and referendum. To begin with, there ore six measures submitted by the last legislature. Two of these are proposed Constitutional amendments relative to taxation and another provides for state-aided rail roads. They were passed by the Legis lature largely because of pressure brought to bear by the lobbying commit tee of the State Grange. They are aimed at the present system of taxation, their prime object being to impose an addi tional tax upon franchises and other in tangible properties. The proposed railroad amendment was passed by the Legislature and .submitted to the people through the influence of the commercial bodies of Portland, the State Grange and high potentates of the People's Progressive Government League. Single Districts Proposed. Another Constitutional amendment pro posed by the Legislature contains the single district 'plan for representation in the senate and house. Under this plan, Multnomah. Marion, Umatilla, Lane, Linn and other thickly populated counties having more than one Senator or Representative will be di vided into Senatorial and Representative districts. This proposed plan will do away with proportional representation and it is therefore considered certain that it will be bitterly opposed by Mn, U'Ren and his followers. In addition to these proposed Constitu tional amendments, the Legislature sub mitted two bills the McKinley bill, pro viding for the location of a branch insane asylum in Baker, Union or Umatilla County, and the Buchanan bill authoriz ing a Constitutional convention for the purpose of making a general revision of the Constitution of the state. Referen dum petitions were filed against the Jaeger bill. Increasing the number of Circuit Judges tn Multnomah County, and the Hart bill, increasing the salary of the Circuit Judge in Baker County to $4000 a year. The former measure will not be voted upon, for the reason that the Secretary of State refused to accept and -file the referendum petition upon the (Concluded on Page S. ) WHAT OUGHT TO BE DONE WHEN THE COMET GETS WITHIN HAILING DISTANCE. Educator Shatters Theory That the Spread of Microbes Makes Os culation Dangerous. CAMBRIDGE. Mass., May J (Special.) Harvard has officially put its O. K, on gisslng. Dr. A. M. Wbrthington, of the medical schaal, an expert on bacteria, not os culation, says there ia no reason what ever why healthy and well-intentioned couples shouldn't indulge in kissing jto their heart's content. Incidentally, his statement shatters the theory advanced many times by profes sors of other universities that kissing is dangerous, because tt makes a' swap of microbes and Illness in. one or both, par ties to the union often follows tho diversion. Said Dr. Worthingon: "Kissing harmful? Certainly not-i No, sir. There Is no possible reason in the world or proof in the world why, when two self-respecting, wholesome persons meet lip to lip, they can't break away without upsetting the bac terial balance." Perhaps the only serious danger springing from such a union would af fect the heart only. Dr. Worthington also ably defend our friends, the microbes, referring to them in other circumstances. He as serted that if bacteria were driven out of the land, the world would become a desert scattered with the world's dead. Germs are humble in their needs, but stupendous In their life work.

PLOT TO RUIN BANK SEEN If Acceptance of $1000 for Vote Ia Admitted Again, Says State's At torney, Promise of Immunity, AVill Be Disregarded. CHICAGO, May 1. (Special.) State's Attorney Wayman will take Represen tative Charles A. White, of O'Fallon, before the special grand Jury tomorrow to repeat his confession of alleging that he received a bribe of $1000 for voting for William Lorimer for United States Senator and later $900 as his share in a "Jackpot" or general legislative cor ruption fund. The public prosecutor intimates also, that in the near future the down-state Legislators mentioned by White in bis charges will appear before the special Inquisitorial body, the list including Henry A. Shepard of Jerseyville. Joseph S. Clark of Vandal I a. Michael Link ot Mitchell, and Lee O'Neil Browne- of Ot tawa. Double Inquiry Promised. The legislative bribery scandal will have the right of way and when the special grand Jury gets through with its work White's astounding story will have been investigated to the bottom. The inquiry will not be confined to' Cook County alone, for in Sangamon County the regular grand Jury con venes tomorrow at Springfield and State's Attorney Edmund Burke de clares that it will make an exhaustive inquiry -Into the corrupt deals alleged by White to have been transacted at the Capital. After White is through at the Crimi nal Court building in Chicago, the San gamon County authorities will seek to bring him before the grand Jury at Springfield. If he repeats the confession he made to State's Attorney ' Wayman before the Sangamon County jurors. State's Atorney Burke declares that he will be Indicted and prosecuted forth with, no matter what assurance of im munity he may have from the prosecu tion in Cook County. Unbalanced, Says Lorimer. Attorney-General Stead is at Spring field preparing to lend a band in the In vestigation. Senator Lorimer says he has a letter at Washington from White, which he believes proves that the writer is men tally unbalanced, and reiterates his dec laration that the attack is a move to ruin the new La Salle-Street National Bank. Senator Jandus. who handled tbe anti local option bill, denies the charges that bribes were offered to put the bill through. Leo O'Neill Browne, announces that he will remain in Chicago to watch de velopments and will save his correspond ence with White as ammunition to be used later on. . One advantage in having the special grand Jury take up the investigation is that it has no definite length of life. Probably no State's Attorney's office in the state is so well prepared to handle a big bribery scandal as is that of Cook County. The experience of State's At torney Wayman and his assistants In the Indictment and conviction of Edward McCann, the police inspector, served to acquaint the prosecutor Intimately with the law on bribery, as well as with what facts are necessary to prove that crime.
