HAWLEY AND ELLIS ACTIVE They Win Over Ballinger to Adop tion of West Umatilla Project, While Bourne Plays Golf and Chamberlain Visits Home. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 6. Protests that were made to Secretary Ballinger by commercial bodies of Oregon have borne fruit, and it is now practically assured that the Government will build the West Umatilla Irrigation project, pnylng for it out of the l-J5.C00.00i) general Irrigation fund, from which Oregon received nothing in the ap portionment recently made by President Taft. Impressed by the protest that were made to Mm by the Portland Commercial Club and other pimflar organizations, Mr. Ballinger has been making a study of the recent apportionment of funds and has been looking Into the merits of the West Umatilla project. He lias concluded that Oregon wan not fairly treated In the dis tribution of the big H5.000.6u0 fund and has determined to use his influence to procure from this fund sufficient money to build the West Umatilla project. Espe cially is he determined to push through this project since he has found, upon in quiry, that the project la held to be en tirely feasible, both by the Army En gineer Hoard and by the engineers of the Reclamation Service. In the opinion of both, this project la aa promising as any thus far studied by the Reclamation Service. Money Can lie Readily Fonnd. Mr. Ballinger and the Reclamation Service were in conference today to ascer tain Just where funds can beet bo se cured for building the .West Umatilla project and they have reached the con cluetton that ample money Is now on hand to make a start. Before any apportion ment can be made, however. It will be necessary for Mr. Ballinger formally to approve and adopt tho West Umatilla project and this he Is expected to do at any time, inasmuch as a strong recom mendation favoring its adoption has been made by the Reclamation Service. Once the project Is approved, the Rec lamation -Service will need 10,000 to com plete detailed surveys and $lu0.000 or $2"0,- 000 to begin the preliminary work of con struction. Tils amount can readily be had out of the funds now available, while sufficient funds to carry on the main work of construction will have to be procured later by readjusting the appor tionment of the X5.ODO.000 increment to the reclamation fund. It will not be possible, however, to divert to this pro ject any part of the KO.O9O.0uO loan, which probably will be expended as originally directed by the President. Money for Wes Umatilla will be taken from some (Concluded on Psia 3.) M'FFKl'oi 111 iSSteH STOEY OP TWO PANO- RAMAS. Two panoramic pictures of Portland, which will be pub lished in the Fiftieth Anniver sary Edition of The Oregonian, ou February 4, will tell a graphic story of Portland's wonderful progress during the last 44 years. One of these pictures was taken in -1867; the other is a view of the city as it . appears today. The 1867 picture shows a scattered city, little more than a large country town. Most of the present area was then cov ered with forest, and the busi ness "district was nearly all east of Third street. This pic ture will, be published with a group of very interesting pio neer Portland views. The picture of Portland today is the best panorama of the city ever taken. It is from a view point that includes nearly the entire city, and it will be printed extending twice across a double page of The Orego nian. It will require no words to emphasize the contrast between these two pictures. They will comprise one of many interest ing features to rip-pear in the Anniversary Edition.

Evelyn Arthur See, fountain head of knowledge and spreader of truth, as well as leader of the cult, faces tho most serious Charge of those arrested. His companions and co-workers. Mil dred Bridges, 17 years old, and Mona Rees,. who looks to be about Mildred's age, also were taken into custody and sent to the Harrison-street annex after they and See had confessed that the activities and alms of "Absolute Lite had brought them into questionable re lationship. Home Ruined, Says Father. For three hours the girls, who lived with See in the Racine-avenue temple residence, wtihstood the cross-exami nation of Captain Danner, of the .Shef field-avenue police, and even after making their admissions they 'nsisted that they had acted in keeping with "the truth." AY'hlle See and the girls were being questioned, Stephen Bridges, a whole sale Jeweler and father of Mildred rushed into the police statin intent on finding See and learning the truth. "The man has ruined my home," he cried, trying to force his way into the captain's room, where See was endeav orlng to show the policeman that, ac cording to tho tenets of "Absolute Life," he had done no wrong. "Perfect Mothers' Developed. According to Bridges, See first met his wife aud daughter when they were starting a social settlement work known as flie "Junior Commonwealth now being carried on by See. One of tho avowed purposes of tee s cuit was the development of perfect mothers to bring into being a greater race. Mona Rees already had been living with him for three years and it was agreed,- finally, that Mildred take up residence with See and Mona and submit to a process of "purification." Prior to the confession of the girls Mrs. Felicia Rees, mother of the girl disciple, Mona, professed her highest faith In the teaching and personality of See.

Mrs. ' Andrews, to all seeming crumpled and thrown aside as so much waste paper, admits her knowl edge that they are on their way to meet in New York he by the Santa Fe, Miss Hogan on the Southern Pacific. It is the result of a deliberate choice to which she forced' her husband when she found how things were tending a dramatic choice which, confronting both In the theater office, he made in the Hogan girl's, favor. It was the only time Mrs. Andrews ever saw Miss Hogan, and she forced the girl to ac company her to the stage director's presence that the truth might be known all around.

MANNER OF ATTACK IN DOUBT On It Depends Whether Two Thirds Vote Needed. BEVERIDGE TO FIX ISSUE If He Accuses I.or inter as Principal in Bribery, Two-Thirds Majority Required to Expel, Otherwise Bare Majority Enough. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Whether It would require a two-thirds vote or only a majority of the Senate to unseat Will iam Lorimer ap Senator from Illinois is a question that has arisen in the contest about to be waged. Tho answer rests on whether Lorimer's opponents seek to connect him with any corrupt practices or merely attempt to show that he was the beneficiary of corruption for which ho was not responsible. The Senators who have made close studies of election contest cases seem to agree that, if the resolution to unseat Lorimer should contend that he was prin cipally involved in the bribery charges that have been investigated, the only course would be to vote on the question of expulsion, to carry which two-thirds of the Senate would have to be recorded in the affirmative. If the motion were to declare the elec tion of Lorimer Invalid and void, and it was admitted there was no evidence to connect hira with the bribery, only a ma jority vote of a quorum of the Senate would be required to adopt th motion. Under the first situation, or that which would connect a Senator principally wUh corrupt practices, it is said the contest muft be between the Senate and the in dividual Senator under charges; while in tho second case tho contest would bo between the Senate and tho Legislature which elected or the Governor who ap pointed the Senator involved. It now looks as if the fight would be opened in the Senato on Monday. The general impression 's that It will con tinue until filial disposition of the case. The Beveridge report is expected to provide the means for a. division of senti ment for end against Lorimer. Some of tho Senators favorable to Lorimer have said the case ought to go over for a few weeks, that tho sentiment of the country m'ght be ascertained, but others arsue that sentiment has nothing to do with tho case and that the Senate must now sit in Judgment and decide the mat ter upon the evidence. A postponement of consideration only could bo had with unanimous consent, as the questions involved in the proceedings are of the highest privilege and may be called up at any time , by any Senator.
