SNOW TODAY IS PROBABLE Conditions to Make Possible Coating or Shrubbery and Streets With Ice Last lor Only Tew Minutes. "Silver thaw!" said many a aelf-ap-puinted weather prophet In Portland yesterday when, about noon, sleet be gan to rattle on the pavements. But the sleet began to melt within a few minutes after it first began to fall, and soon changed to the conven tional OTegon Winter rain, which con tinued throughout the day. Shortly after 5 o'clock there was a report from the Rose City Park dis trict that thts most beautiful and dangerous of Oregon meteorological phenomena was under way. Those who went Into the woods for Christmas, trees found the rain frees inr to the branches of the firs as it fell, and came forth dragging their Yul.tide greenery, fully convinced that a silver thaw was in process of incu bation. Rosebushes and sidewalks became coated with ice in Mount Tabor and Montavilla. However, the condition that makes a silver thaw possible, that of a freez ing stratum of air next the earth, with a higher and warmer stratum above, from which rain is precipitated, con tinued for only a short time, and the danger of a recurrence of the silver thaw ot two years ago. when street car traffic was paralysed and much damage done to trees and shubbery, was averted. District Forecaster Beats said last flight that there was but little promise of silver thaw conditions. The weather forecast last night said that conditions would be favorable for rain or snow throughout Oregon and Washington today.

Flames at Nlarat Shoot Th.uaad Feet Air. Burnt Forms Cloud, Them Stara Disappear. SYDNEY, N. S. W Dee. 21. Incom ing steamers bring details of the re cent volcanic eruptions .on the IslUI.Q of Ambrim. in the New Hebrides group. In which BOO natives lost their lives. Witnesses of the disturbance describe It as having been so sudden and violent that they expected to see the western side of the island disap pear. With a terrific roar, which was fol lowed by a rapid succession of artillery-like detonations, all the craters of the volcano entered into full activ ity, spdutlng flames and lava and throwing out huge boulders. Great streams of lava began rushing down the slopes, cutting off the villagers from escape. In one instance two torrents of the molten mass joined. cresting an island of one section of a village. Fifty or sixty persons per ished at this point The scenes of the volcane at night were awe-inspiring. Flames shot into the air to a height of 1000 feet, il luminating the entire scene of de struction. The ocean seemed to boil as huge superheated masses of stone fell Into the sea and streams of lava poured into the bay. Dust from the craters gradually formed a black cloud which blotted out the light of the stars. After the eruption the bay was filled with dead fish and large numbers of dead turtles. The water in the river was hot. The British hospital buildings were wiped out of existence, but previous to their destruction the physicians re moved the patients to a launch and escaped with them.

IDAHO PLAN ATTACKED MAYOR HODGE?, OF BOISE, DE NOUNCES TAX COMMISSION. Replying to Demurrer by State Offi cials, Governor Haloes Also In At tacked for Present Policy. BOISE, Idaho, Dec 21. (Special.) The result of the conference of County Assessors and Commissioners is a con flict between Mayor Hodges, of this city, and Governor Haines and mem hers of the State Tax Commission. Mayor Hodges declares that the pres ent administration cannot avoid the responsibility for present high taxes in Idaho. When Mayor Hodges addressed the Assessors and Commissioners be made this charge. Chairman Ramstcdt, of the State Tax Commission, and Secre tary Robertson denied the charge and defended the revenue system and the present state administration. In his reply Mayor Hodges says, in part: "The effoft to shift the responsibility of high taxes from the state govern ment to the Legislature, the counties, the tow and the schools districts will fail. The Governor of our state can not deny kr evade hispart of the re sponsibility. The people are not so ignorant that they will be deceived. Think of it costing 1400 for each stu dent in state institutions for the bien nial period, with the parents paying for board, clothing and incidental ex penses! Who is responsible for the employment of our State Educational Commission, Dr. Slsson, at tne exces sive salary of 16000 per year?

PRESIDENTIAL BEE SWATTED BY ROOT Senator Refuses to Enthuse Over Gallinger Plan to Give Him Nomination. AGE ONE EXCUSE OFFERED Neiv Yorker Thinks Younger Man Is Entitled to Job Reorganization of Party "Along Progressive Lines . Also Is Favored. OBEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec 20. The Elihu Root Pres idential boom, nipped In the bud by the Senator himself, will not be revived. Senator Root's assertion that be will not accept a nomination is accepted as genuine, for the Senator has the repu tation of extreme frankness and sin cerity, and after his statement, made publicly on the floor of the Senate, his friends will not again urge his nomi nation. Republicans "and Democrats who know Senator Root are frank enough to admit that could he have been elect ed to the Presidency any time during the past 10 or 12 years he would have given the country a remarkable ad ministration, but there is force to his contention that a man of 72 years should not be elected President of the Cnited States, for the potent reason that a man of those yeaas has not the physical strength to hold up under the strain imposed upon a Chief Executive. Root to Q,ult Politics. In Washington the expectation is general that Senator Root not only will decline to seek or accept Presi dential honors, but that he intends at the close of his present term on March 4, 1915. to retire to private life: his own assertion merits that interpreta tion. Could he be re-elected he would be 76 at the end of his next term, and It is evident that he does not care to burden himself in the future with those confining duties that go even with the New York Senatorshlp. Another term in the Senate could add little to Senator Root's honors, but would impose upon him a task which he apparently feels should be borne by younger and physically stronger man. History records few instances where Presidential booms have been snuffed out so quickly and so completely as that recently launched by Senator Gal linger, in a moment of spontaneous en thusiasm, following Senator Root's speech on the currency bill. Progressive Lines Favored. While Senator Root undoubtedly waa fully appreciative of the honor Intend ed by Senator Gallinger, he yet is poli tician enough to know that the man ner in which his nomination was pro posed would prove a handicap when the time came for action. Senator Root is heartily in favor of reorganising the Republican party on progressive lines; he is in sympathy with the movement crystallized at the recent meeting of the Republican Na tional Committee. Senator Gallinger is not in favor of the movement; he re mains a stand-patter, unwilling to make any concessions to the Progres sive wing of the party, and would hold Republicans to the leadership of Can non, Aldrich, Penrose and Barnes. It Is not believed now that the Re publican party will nominate any man who Is suspected of loyalty to the old leaders or who stands pat in the face of overwhelming demand for reorgani sation on progressive lines.

JOB HUNTER APOLOGETIC Vonng Married Man Applies Mayor in Extremity. . to Among the large number of men whi have called at the office of Mayor Albee, seeking employment, was bashful young fellow, who offered pro fuse apologies for applying for work. He said he bad been unsuccessful in his efforts to find a Job anywhere in the city and had taken this means as a last resort.

GHINESE BARBERS TAKEN ME.V OPERATING SUNDAY ARE Alt- ' RESTED BY POLICE. Raid Made After Protest From Ameri can Toasorialists, Whose Patrons Find Way to Open Shops. Oriental competition in the tonsorlal art has grown to such an -extent that for the first time in years Chinese bar bers were yesterday forced to comply with the Sunday-closing law, and tnree were arrested for alleged violations. Prior to yesterday the man who let Saturday go by without getting nis weekly shave could patronize the Chi nese barber shop on Sunday.

They had not far to seek. Two were arrested within a stone's throw of the police station and another less than a block away.
