Secretary Tells Iowans Admin
istration Will Restore
Forefathers' Spirit.
CABINET IS PROGRESSIVE
Common-Sense Principles, aa tTsed
in Kverjday Affairs, to Be- Ap
plied to Problems of Of
fice, Is Promised.
DES MOINES, March 20. "Standpat
im is dead." declared W. J. Bryan at
a banquet here tonight. The statement
came early In his speech and the ora
tor dwelt Ions upon the fact that he
believed that the highest accomplish
ment of the present Administration
would be the restoration of what ne
termed was the spirit of the f re:
fathers to the institutions of the tnlted
S'""mi cannot cross the United States."
declared Mr. Bryan, "without passing
through a state which Is governed by
progressive Democrats.
"Illinois has Just placed one m of
fice. Ohio elected a progressive at the
last election, as did Nebraska, Kansas
and Missouri, and It Is sid you came
near to Oiling out this list of 'Western
states by electing one here in Iowa.
Just a day or two before I left Wash
ington a new United States Senator ar
rived. He was a progressive Demo
crat from New Hampshire.
Cabiaet Declared Progressive.
"AH the members of the Coinet are
Progressive Democrats and the leader
In the Senate is John W. Kern, for
whom .i)00.000 progressive Democrats
cast their votes for Vice-President a
hort time ago. More than this, the
Senate -of the United States has been
made progressive and the new rules of
that body enable .the majority of the
party to control."
Secretary Bryan was in a humorous
vein during a large part of the ad
dress and insisted that he made the
appointments in the West because he
had to do Something to prevent the
people from believing he would be a
member of the Cabinet. He exhorted
ilia officeseekers to remember that
every platform of the party for the last
-0 years had "placed principles before
ofriceholdlng." but that the fact which
appalled him was that he was not able
to appoint all of his friends to office.
Ovra Ability Not Doubted.
He had no doubt, he declared, of his
ability to perform the duties of the
office to which tho President had
called him. He expected to use the
principles of common sense necessary
In every day life in solving the prob
lems of office. The same principles
which enable two men to live together
us neighbors for a term of years will
enable this Nation to live on terms of
peace with every other nation.
Secretary Bryan also said ho had
discovered that one of the duties he
would be able to perform while Secre
tary of State was the announcement to
the people of the "plank I put In my
Platform 23 years ago." This alone was
worth accepting the office for, he said.
Mr. Bryan will go to Lincoln, Neb,
tor a few days' rest before going again
: Washington.

PLANS BODY IS CRITICISED
J. N. Teal Tells Association Need of
Publio Docks and Incinerator
"The Greater Portland Flans Asso
ciation might better take up the big
problems of city improvement that are
confronting us, than to waste their
time in a scuffle with the property
owuvrs on a street the widening of
which will not demand their attention
for years." was the sentiment expressed
by J. N. Teal at the meeting of the
Burnside street property owners and
the members of the Greater Portland
Plans Association Wednesday night to
consider the plan for widening Burn
t u. mAntunH thn Ross Island
project for establishment of a mu
nicipal incinerator ana storage
and public docks as immediate needs.
Mr. Teal asserted that Burnside
street will be widened when the tralfic
upon it demands its widening, out de
nied that it will ever be widened to
120 feet, as suggested in the Bennett
plans.
Isaac Swett. spokesman of the Burn-side-street
delegation, said that the
property owners upon that street are
not opposed to the widening of the
street, when the growth of the city
shall demand it. but that ther hold
that the improvement is not needed
immediately.
Rodney L. Gllsan objected to the idea
of a 120-foot street, bat said that he
would not oppose a movement to widen
it from 60 to 80 feet.
Tom Richardson. G. F. Johnson,
president of the Greater Portland Plans
Association: Building Inspector Plum
mer. Arthur Langguth and others up
held the plan for widening the street.
At the close of the meeting Mr.
Swett suggested that at a future time
representative committees from the
property owners and from the associa
tion be appointed to hold a conference
and endeavor to reach a compromise.
Several of the Burnside street repre
sentatives sharply criticised Mayor
Rushlight for having suggested pub
licly the plan and movement to widen
Burnside street.
CUSTOMS PLAGES FEWER
TAFT ORDER REDUCES PATROX
AGE TO SENATORS.
Effort Will Be Made to' Secure Ap
pointment of Oregon Democrats
Prior to July J.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 20. On Inquiry at the
Treasury Department today, Senator
Lane learned that under President
Taft's order reorganizing' the customs
service, Oregon Senators probably will
have only one customs appointment at
their disposal, that of Collector, at
Portland, at 4500. All other offices,
fheludtng appraiser, at $3000, and the
deputy collectors at Astoria, Newport
and Empire are by the Taft order
brought under the civil service and ap
pointments will be made by the Secre
tary of the Treasury.
As President Taft's order does not
go into effect until July 1, there is still
some doubt as to what will be done
about the appraiser and deputy col
lectors at the three minor ports, for
until July 1 those offices continue-on
the old basis and the Senators may
ask that they be filled by Democrats
until that time in the hope that the
new appointees will be taken into the
civil service when the reorganization
becomes effective.
T. I Duggers, of Lebanon, is added
to the list of applicants for the place
of collector at Newport.
F. 8. Myers, of Portland, private sec
retary to Senator Lane, arrived in
Washington last night, after betng
blizzard-bound in Kansas in the recent
storm. He will not remain permanent
ly with Senator Lane because of busi
ness engagements.
COUNCILMAN IS ARRESTED
Medford Official Charged, "With
Selling Liquor to Minor.
MEDFORD. Or., March 20. (Special.)
The first shot in a fight between the
City Council and Mayor Eifert was
fired tonight when Councilman Millar,
a bitter opponent of the Administra
tion, was arrested on a charge of selling
liquor to a minor. He will be given a
hearing Friday. Mr. Millar is proprie
tor of the Manhattan cafe and leader of
the socialist party. He declares he Is
Innocent and that the arrest Is simply
a political move to discredit him and
help the Mayor in the city election
Saturday.
At this election will be decided a pro
posed charter amendment, depriving
the Mayor of his removal power. If
the amendment passes it will mean
that the Mayor will be without power
to name his own assistants and the ma
jority of the Council will be actual
municipal government.
The fight started over the Mayor's
appointment of a City Market Master
when the Council refused to confirm
anyone but the Incumbent. Two Coun
cilmen stood with the Mayor at the
Council meeting Tuesday night. The
He was passed at frequent Intervals.

WHALING VESSELS LOST
TALE OF HARDSHIPS AND PER
ILS COMES FROM NORTH.
Huge Ice Floes Crush Craft In Storm
and Captain Witting Is Still
to Report,
SEATTLE. Wash, March 20. A spe
cial cable to the Post-Intelligencer
from Nome. Alaska, says:
Sam Gottschalk, of the whaling
schooner Moras, reached Nome last
night after a trip of 100 miles over the
broken Ice in Bering Strait, with news
of the loss of the schooners Kittawack
and Moras and the hardships endured
by members of the crews. The two
schooners were caught in the ice near
the Siberian coast last Fall at the time
of the freeaeup and landed boats to
prepare Winter Quarters. Before the
men were able to land all their pro
visions or make extensive preparations
for tho Winter a great storm arose
and they were unable to return to their
schooners. During the storm the Ice
coming down from the Arctlo caught
the schooners and crushed them Into a
shapeless mass.
The crews, consisting of Gottschalft,
Koren, a naturalist, the owner of the
Kittawack, Albert Gunderson and Gus
Schroeder, started out in the lone re
maining whaleboat In a desperate at
tempt, to cross the strait through the
open leads In the great ice floes to the
Seward peninsula.
Captain Witting; of the Moras, re
fused to accompany them, believing
that their attempt would end in death
for all, and started south along the
Siberian coast in an attempt to reach
Plover Bay, where there is an Eskimo
settlement. Whether he arrived there
is not known.
The party in the whaleboat encoun
tered a terrific storm near Big Diom
edes Island and their boat was smashed
to splinters in the surf and ice floes
when they landed.
For three months the party subsist
ed on walrus, living in huts construct
ed of stones and ice, before they were
able to . attempt the passage over the
broken ice to the Seward Peninsula and
Nome.
The Kittiwack was a small auxiliary
gas schooner of 15 gross tons. She
was purchased two years ago by Koren,
who went north in order to make a
study of Arctic wild flowers.
PAY DENIED TEACHER HURT
Board of Education Rules District
Not at Fault.
When a young woman, in her haste
to catch her class on Its way to the
basement, slips and breaks a leg. It is
her fault and not the fault of the dis
trict, according to tho decision of the
members of the Board of Education
yesterday afternoon in the case of Miss
Edith Ellis, a teacher in the Albina
Homestead School, who applied for
six weeks' pay for time lost while the
injured member was being healed.
The case had been referred to the
committee on teachers, but they did
not agree. R. I Sabln, the chairman,
suggested yesterday that perhaps It
should have been sent to the committee
on repairs, bringing forth hearty
laughter from the members.
M. G. Munly thought the salary
should bo allowed, but he was willing
to compromise by a half payment, to
which Mrs. J. B. Kerr, the only woman
on the Board, agreed by seconding the
motion.
L N. Fleischner, J. V. Beach and Mr.
Sabln, however, voted against it, and
the teacher's pay was therefore not al
lowed. FINE TO SUCCEED LEISHMAN

JEAN BARTHOU CALLED
POrXCARE ASKS MINISTER TO
FORM NEW CABINET.
In Event of Acceptance, Proportion,
ate Representation Will Continue
Issue In France.
PARIS, March 20. Jean Barthou,
Minister of Justice in the Briand Cabi
net, which recently resigned, will give
a definite answer tomorrow to the re
quest of President Poincare, made to
day, that he form a new Cabinet. He
will consult with his friends regarding
his decision, but it is considered prac
tically certain that he will accept tlie
task.
M. Barthou said tonight that In the
event of his acceptance, the two car
dinal principles In his programme
would be proportionate representation
and three years' service in the army.
His first endeavor, he added, would be
to try to induce the Senatorial com
mittee to accept the principle of rep
resentation by the majorities, the de
tails of which could be arranged later
In a spirit of conciliation. He hoped
in this way to end the deadlock be
tween the two houses of Parliament.
The fall of the Briand government
was on the question of proportionate
representation, the Senate voting ad
versely on the electoral reform bill.
