MARSHALL IN CONFERENCE
After Intimate Talk, Announcement
Is Made That Twain Are In
Complete Accord Work as
Goremor Is Ended.
TRENTON, N". J- Feb. 27. Two pre
cedents looking toward a closer co
operation between the executive and
legislative branches of the National
Government may be established under
the Administration of President Wil
son. The one would permit the Vice-Presi
dent of the United States to sit for
the first time In the Cabinet councils
of the President, and the other would
find the Chief Executive frequently at
the Capitol building:, physically In
closer touch with members of the
House and Senate.
Discussion of the latter Innovation
rame to Mr. Wilson's attention today
when a magazine article declared that
the President-elect had said he would
spend some hours daily in the Presi
dent's room at the Capitol, used hith
erto only when the President signed
or vetoed the llth-hour acta of an
expiring Congress. Talk of the other
change In Presidential customs was
revived when Vice-President-elect Mar
shall visited Mr. Wilson today at the
State House.
WllMl and Marshall Agree.
Legislative policies. Including the
programme for the extra session, party
pledges, the personnel of the Cabinet
and other intimate dotalls of the com
ing Administration . were discus. o-J.
after which the announcement came
from both men that they were In
hearty accord. The President-elect
paid high tribute to Mr. Marshall and
said frankly that his friendship and his
acquaintance with Mr. Marshall's abil
ity were such that he expected to con
sult him freely.
Mr. Wilson did not say whether this
close relationship with the Vice-President
ultimately might mean extending
seat in the Cabinet chamber to him.
He Indicated both with respect to this
Idea and to the one that he might spend
much of his time at the Capitol build
ing that he would decide things of this
kind after he reached Washington and
waa In a better position to determine
the expediency of such changes.
Osaoraaeea An Compsrrd.
"We went over the ground com
pletely." said the President-elect, dis
cussing his long conference with Mr.
Marshall. "I asked him what Impres
sions he received In the country at
luge as to the state of the people.
We also talked, of the principles of the
party." He paused and added with a
laugh:
"We compared notes or rather Ig
norances as to what we personally
are to do when we get to Washington.
Neither of us has had much experience
there."
Mr. Wilson said he had not discussed
with Mr. Marshall the prospect of hav
ing him sit In the Cabinet. He was
asked whether Mr. Marshall would be
consulted frequently on Administra
tion policies.
"As a close and Intimate friend." an
swered Mr. Wilson. "I naturally would
consult him In such matters. Some of
our Vice-Presidents have been among
the leading men of the country. Take
the list as a whole and some have
played a part in the Nation's affairs.
Mr. Marshall Is heartily in sympathy
with ma and wants to co-operate In
every possible way."
Marshall's Way Is SOsnalatlas:.
The President-elect said he had been
desirous of a conference with Mr.
Marshall for some time, but he did not
want to Interrupt Mr. Marshall's va
cation In Arizona.
"I wanted Mr. Marshall to know."
added the President-elect. "Just what
was In my ml ml. I enjoyed the visit
greatly, because I have known him
for some time and have a warm per
sonal feeling for him. He has a stim
ulating way of putting things and
speaks In the vernacular, so that you
can get at exactly what he means."
Mr. Wilson referred also to the "un
commonly generous support" that Mr.
Marshall had given him ever since
the Baltimore convention.
The Governor really ended his work
t the Btatehouse yesterday and said
goodbye to his office today. The
Vice-President-elect sat with the Gov
ernor chatting and telling stories. They
walked to and from a hotel where
they had luncheon.
When Mr. Marshall left the President-elect
escorted 'him to the outer
door of the Statehouse. a courtesy
which heretofore he has never extend
ed to his visitors.
Mr. Marshall had little to say.
"Everything the Governor said met
with my approval." he remarked, "and
1 am In accord with everything that
he finally will propose to the people.
He expressed his views to me, but I

At yesterday afternoon's meeting

An Iron-clad resolution was drawn

China shall allow the importation of

SUN IS PROVED MAGNET
Observatory Director Says Earth
Xot Appreciably Affected.
PASADENA. CaU Feb. 27. In a lec
ture on "The Earth and Sun as Mag
nets," given here tonight before Throop
Polytechnic Institute. Dr. George Ellery
Hale, director of the Mount Wilson
6olar Observatory, announced that ob
servations made on Mount Wilson dur
ing the past year prove the sun to be
a magnet.
Its magnetic poles lie near the poles
of rotation and correspond in direction
with the magnetic poles of the earth.
The rotation of the sun on Its axis will
account for its magnetism, on the
theory that the sun contains nearly
equal charges of positive and negative
electricity, the negative charge being
predominant. The magnetism of the
sun has no appreciable effect on the
earth.

Thrashed for Hoots, Jeers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. "General'
Rosalie Jones and her army of "hikers'
from New Tork are expected to be
within striking distance of the capital
at noon tomorrow.
A message was received at Laurel,
Md., by "General" Jones that the Na
tional Suffrage officers themselves
desired to deliver to President Wilson
the message the hikers were bearing
to Washington. This situation caused
consternation In the "army" but the
protests of some of the "soldiers" were
silenced by the pacific attitude of
"General" Jones.
Insurgency Stirs Kanks.
When the hikers - reached Bladens
burg they were met by Miss Alice
Paul from the Washington headquar
ters and after a conference it was de
cided to leave the question open until
after the capital headquarters Is
reached tomorrow.
Trouble over the message to President-elect
Wilson apparently was not
settled by the decision of Miss Paul
and "General" Jones to submit the en
tire subject to a further conference to
morrow. Insurgency developed late tonight,
and Miss Elizabeth Freeman, one of
the "hikers," declared that If the mem
bers of the "army" were not permitted
to deliver the message as originally
intended she "would desert and return
to New York.

WORK STANDS ANALYSIS
Pet Measures Disposed Of Quickly
and Investigations Ordered Where
Apparently Needed Big Prob
lems Carefully Handled.
BY DONALD H. UPJOHN.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 27.
(Special) In concluding Its actual
work of constructive legislation and
adjourning until next Tuesday ex
clusively to take up the question of
vetoed bills, the present Legislative
Assembly has practically finished its
work so far as the main question of
disposing of bills is concerned, and it
has been a good Legislature.
This Is apparent on the face of the
facts. Probably never before has the
state witnessed a Legislative Assembly
which has brought about the same type
and class of constructive legislation
as has this session. Every one of the
matters of importance, the questions
of great moment, which were discussed
freely and demanded by the state, has
been enacted.
The workmen's compensation act, an
appropriation for the Panama-Pacific
Exposition, a minimum wage bill, a
widows' pension bill, a bill covering
the question of wildcat speculation in
corporate stocks and bonds, or better
known as the "blue sky" law; a bill
providing for rational hours of labor
all of these are among the enactments
of this session.
Assembly Representative One. ,
- The Assembly has, perhaps, been the
most truly representative in the -history
of Oregon. It has legislated on
practically every big question dealing
with various classes and with people
of various sections. Many have re
ceived disappointments because of fail
ure of pet bills to carry, but In the
main these pet bills have been shown
to be unsound as far as a workable
basis for them Is concerned.
Legislation has been more freely
killed than it has been passed. The
big bulk of the bills have gone the
way where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest.
But real meritorious legislation has
haen riven the fullest and the most
complete consideration. Some questions
which have been oeemea to nave some
semblance of merit have been laid over

WILSON TO BLAME,
MEYER DECLARES
SECRETARY DEPLORES DEFEAT
OF C -BATTLESHIP FLAX.
Letter to Fitzgerald Said to
Have Affected Result Invasion
Held Real Menace.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. Secretary
of the Navy Meyer today deplored the
defeat of the two-battleship pro
gramme In the House and expressed the
belief that the letter which President
elect Wilson wrote to Mr. Fitzgerald
the chairman of the House committee
on appropriations, commending that re
port for its advocacy of economy, had
Influenced the result.
"The low character of the argu
ments during consideration of the naval
bill In the House," said Secretary
Meyer, "and the Incorrect statements
made In opposition to the bill showed
the lack of familiarity of the speakers
with naval subjects. All of this dem
onstrated the advisability of admitting
the head of the Navy Department to
the privilege df the floor, where lie
would be in a position to throw light
on many questions not clear In the
minds of members."
Emphasizing the need of two battle
ships or more a year. Secretary Meyer
said such a policy was absolutely neces
sary to protect this country from pos
slble foreign Invasion.
