DIXIWAY TAKF.S MKMOR I I, TO I.I-:.ISI.ATI KK. . Ilody Asked to Commend Initiative Petition to Voters of Slate In xt K lection. Declaring that, because of her ad vanced age. It might be her last ap peal to a Legislature. Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunlway left yesterday for Sa lem to present to the Oregon Legisla ture the memorial Intrusted In her care by the executive committee of the Oregon State Equal Suffrage Associa tion, which met in Portland January 31. under the approval of Mrs. Emma Smith DeVoe. president of the Xatlonal Council of Women Voters. "My years are passing." said Mrs. Dunlway. "but I shall take pleasure In presenting the memorial and sincerely hope that It will be the last appeal I shall ever be compelled to make to the sons of women for equal rights before the law for the mothers and daughters of men. The resolution, which la to be pre sented In the House and Senate, reads as follows: "Resolved, by the Senate, the House concurring. That we have carefully considered the equal suffrage amend' ment. aa submitted by initiative peti tion to the present Niral voters of the state for their adoption or rejection and ran see no reasonable objection to Its adoption, and we cordially recora mend Its ratification at the November election of 113." The memorial which Mrs. Dunlway carries with her declares that th woman suffrage movement started In "Old Oregon" la 1171 and has long been an established part of the state con' stltutlone of Wyoming. Colorado, I'tah and Idaho and was adopted by an overwhelming vote of the men In the State of Washington at the last elec tion. California, says the memorial. raught the Inspiration of the movement and will submit for a refer endum vote In 1512 a woman suffrage amendment. Montana is pressing close and In Oregon is. 00 of the electorate at the last general election voted to place the amendment In the conitita tloo of the state. For this reason the Legislature Is asked to adopt a joint resolution approving the proposed amendment now on file with the Sec retary of State. t Simultaneously with the acceptance of the resignation of H. (VHnwerj as manager of the Portland Hotel, to take effect March 1. the board of di rectors last night tentatively agreed lo name Edward Boyce. vice-president of the company and a member of the board of directors, as managing direc tor with general supervision of the hotel, and J. C. Kaufmann. secretary of the company, executive manager. The board spent considerable time discussing the future policy 'of the hotel and for that reason definite ac tion In selecting a manager to succeed Mr. Mowers was deferred till another meeting, subject to the call of Mr. Day. chairman of the board and con trolling factor in the Portland Hotel Company. Ilojce Is Active. Although Mr. lioyce Is a mining man he has shown a disposition to asslml late knowledge of the hotel business and has had much to say about the policy of the hotel since the Day In terest, with which he Is allied, ob tnlned control of the hotel lust June. Likewise, Mr. Kaufmann has had con slderable to do with the management in an executive capacity since the Nor mans were ousted from the board of directors. The material change effected by the selection of Mr. lioyce as manager, with general supervision and outlining the polity and Mr. Kaufmann as the ex ecutlve head of the hotel. Is that the new management will have a free hand and will organise the staff of employes to conform more strictly to a definite polity. Mr. Day aald last night that the board may hold a session today or It may be deferred for several days, to further discuss the changes to be made. There is much detail to be worked out pertaining to the near management and for that reason, the hoard merely adjourned last night subject to call. instead of closing up Its monthly business. Annex Question Walts. At one of the adjourned sessions the plans for a 200-room annex may be discussed. There was a rumor about the hotel last night that the Normans are will ing to sell their Interests In the hotel, but the hoard of directors could not confirm the report. tioeslps have It that the Normans, although they hold 35 shares of stock acquired In England, will be compelled to go to court to prove the validity of the stock and rather than prolong the controversy would like to sell out. It Is known that the threat of the Normans to sue to compel the board of directors to Issue oertlflr-iites for the stock has had a deterrent effect on plans for Improve ment, and at least a compromise flir tation, in some form or other, has been carried on that has established a truce between the factions for mora than a month. walking trips are being planned by stu dents who have remained at the univer sity for the Interim between semesters. The firs, of these will be a "hike" trip to be taken tomorrow up the McKenzie River Into the mountains near Walter rllle. east of here. This party will be made up of seniors and Its personnel is to include Edwin Platts and John Mc Gulre, varsity track men, who have won points for the "U" In the long-distance runs. Registration for the second semester will begin next Monday. To expedite general class work a fine will be assessed those who return late for reg istration, according to a ruling recently passed by tha board of regents of the university. It Is predicted that the registrar's record will phow material Increase of students for the second semester. Many new students are entering and virtually all of the ptudents who remained home temporarily after the Thanksgiving re cess because of the typhoid fever scare, then current, will return for active work. Apparently all possible danger of fever Infection is over. The report of i' City Physician shows that there were only four cases last month and but two new cases have been reported for this month. This Is considered normal for a city of this size. The new Jewell filter Is rapidly near lng completion and as soon as a ship ment of sand arrives from Minnesota Installation will be finished. Then, au thorities say. the City of Eugene will have a system of absolutely pure water, DRUNKARD'S WILL NULL COURT REFISES TO PROBATE TESTAMEXTMADE IX SALOON THESE WOMEN RECOMMENi DR. WILLIAMS' FDK Family Does Not Dispute Legacies, but Objects to Record Showing Ilartendcrs Witnesses. SAX FRANCISCO. Feb. 8. (Special.) Judge Graham today refused to ad mit the will of Robert Henry Williams, ex-Deputy County Clerk, to probate. Although he had filed the will for pro bate. Attorney Rlnehart, of Oakland, offered witnesses to disprove it. say lng Williams was Intoxicated at the time It was made. The will left all of the dead man's estate, valued at S70U0, to his sister.

Rlnehart, on filing the will, stated he represented J. C. Williams, of Oak land, a brother of the deceased, who was not mentioned in the will, and he had powers of attorney from Mrs. Rice and Joseph Williams, of Boston, an other brother, to represent them. Although the legacy to Mrs. Long of $1000 was conceded, the brother seemed anxloua to have the will, which was made in a saloon and executed by two bartenders at witnesses, disproved. The public administrator contended the will was valid as, while Williams was a habitual drunkard, the efficient legal form of the will showed the man to have been competent at the time he dictated it. The court decided against him. AIRSHIP USEFUL IN WAR Harkiiess Flight on Mexican Border Proves Us Value. ,000 GLEIV IS FOUf.O STEAMER SIBERIA YIELDS SMUGGLED OPIUM. Trans-Pacific Search Culminates When Drug Is Discovered on Watchman. SAN FRANCISCO. Fob. 8. With the arrest of D. W. Steffkons. a watchman on board the steamship Siberia, on a charge of smuggling opium, the Cus tom Inspectors here believe that they have obtained a clew to the $30,000 worth of the contrabrand drug said to be on board tlie liner. Shortly after the Siberia sailed from Hongkong. the; Federal officers here were Informed by their agents in the Orient that $50,000 worth of opium had been amugled on board the Siberia while it waa in the Orient. The vessel was searched avt Honolulu without any of the drug being discovered. Pro longed overhauling of the steamship since her arrival here resulted tho same. This morning Stcffkens was Inter cepted as he was leaving the Siberia and search revealed six flve-tael tins of opium concealed beneath bis over coat. . Assistant United States Attorney Pier questioned Steffkens for some time and at the end of the interview he declared that he bad hopes of ob taining admission from the accused man which would result In uncovering an extensive opium smuggling ring. A search of Steffkrn's room resulted In the discovery of about $1000 worth more of the opium, believed to have been smuggled to this port on the Siberia. WASHINGTON. Feb. . Tlie feat of Harry S. Harkness in delivering yes terday by the aer'al route, a message rrom Major McManus, commander of Fort Rosecrans. California, to Lieu tenant Kuhlln, in charge of the Ameri can patrol of the Mexican frontier near Tia Juana, is regarded by officials of the Army signal corps as a demonstra tion of the practical use of the aero plane in warfare. Brigadier-General Allen, chief sig nal officer of the Army, today received a letter from D. C Collier, president of the Aero Club of San Diego. Cah, saying the aviator covered 4S miles in 66 minutes. The message waa in the hands of Lieutenant Ruhlln 25 min utes after its delivery to Harkness. Mr. Collier said the roads between the points of the flight were practically Impassable on account of rains. - Possibly it was with an apprehen sion of what la just coming to pass on the Texas border that Senor de la Harra. the Mexican Ambassador, some time ago proposed to Secretary Knox the negotiation of a treaty to regu late the flight of aeroplanes between rhe United States and Mexico. As a result a treaty has been drafted which has received the approval of the Mexi can government and is now beforo the State Department for its action. The ostensible purpose of the Mexi can government was to prevent smug gling. CHINESE GIVE BANQUET Convincing from Evidence the Tonic Weak of the Great Treatment Which Women Everywhere.

Indorsed by the Home Rule Association, but vigorously op posed by Eastern and Interior Oregon representatives, Derby's bill increasing from 150 to 500 the population of any territory before it can incorporate as a municipality, passed the House today with barely 31 votes in its favor. Re consideration of the bill will be at. tempted tomorrow. Enactment of this bill was urged by the Home Rule Association because such a law will simplify the regulation of saloons In municipalities. It was opposed by Thompson, Brooke and Speaker Rusk, who insisted that its enforcement would do much to retard the development of many sections of Eastern Oregon. Brooke argued that through the for mation of cttles the growth and set tlement of Eastern Oregon can best be promoted. By increasing to 600 the population of any territory desiring to incorporate, he said. It would be years before some sections could organize a municipality.
