COLOMBIAN PACT
WILL BE OPPOSED
Senator Perkins Declares Col
leagues Will Not Agree
to Ratify Apology.
PAYMENT HELD TOO HIGH
I'ublication of What Purports to Be
Text oll'reaty Causes Criticism
Secretary Bryan Refuses to
Make Comment.
"WASHINGTON. April 19 Indica
tions were manifest Saturday tbat the
treaty between Colombia and the
United States for adjustment of Issues
growing out of the separation of Pan
ama from Colombia would encounter
opposition when submitted to the Sen
ate for ratification.
Publication of what purported
to be the text of the treaty causes
much criticism of the convention. Sec
retary Bryan would not discuss the
published text and will withhold the
official text until the original copiea
arrive from Bogota, about May 1. It
then will be sent to the Senate for rati
fication. Senator Perkins, of California, today
voiced vigorous criticism, expressing
the belief the Senate would not rat
ify it.
'I do not believe," Mr. Perkins said,
"that the Senate will ever agree to
ratify the treaty which makes the
United States apologize to Colombia,
provides for the payment of $25,000,000
and for free passage to Colombian war
vessels through the Panama CanaL
Colombia should apologize to the United
States, and 25,000,000 is just $15,000,
000 too much."
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
defends the treaty and maintained be
fore the Senate canals committee that
its main provisions were practically
the same as the treaty negotiated with
Colombia by Senator Root when Secre
tary of State.

Sunday, May 3. at the Portland Hotel
Last ' year the dining-room of the
Portland Press Club was not large
enough to accommodate all who wished
to attend the "Candidates' Grill" and it
ia for tbat reason that the event is to
take place in the larger dining-room of
the Portland Hotel this year.
At the "grill" all candidates for of
fice are given a chance to explain their
platform and why they think they
should be elected. They are given only
15 to 45 seconds In which to explain
all this, so that between now and May
3 they will be expected to get up their
explanations in concise form.
The "stunts" for this year's event
are to be numerous, timely and orig
inal. As members of the Press Club
are allowed to invite guests and the
candidates are extended the same priv
ilege a large crowd is expected. The
grand tyee. or toastmaster. for the oc
casion has been picked, although he
has not the slightest idea that he will
be selected for the honor. It is neces
sary to have an' exceptionally ready
witted man for this office, as he has to
do some rapid-fire thinking and must
be a past master in the gentle art of
repartee.
A feature of the occasion is the Fry
ing Pan. the official organ of the
Press Club. The staff is chosen for Its
excellence in caustic wit and includes
the most prominent writers of the city.
This lfttle journal takes a merciless
jab at anyone who has any distinguish,
ing feature that offers a point for its
stings. Members of the club, candi
dates and officeholders are targets for
its arrows.
TWIN STREETCAR HERE
OLD EQUIPMENT MADE OVER INTO
NEW TYPE OF VEHICLE.
Among Advantages Said to Be Pos
sessed Are Greater Seating Ca
pacity and Standing Room.
Enter, the twin streetcar.
By Joining two of its narrow gauge
cars together the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company has completed
what its officials believe will become
generally adopted as a part of its roll
ing stock.
The new twin car was given Its in
itial test yesterday and operated satis
factorily to a party of officials on
board. The car was built in the shops
of the company in Portland. It is
proposed to build others in the same
manner.
Many advantages are said to be pos
sessed by the twin car. principal among
which are safety and convenience for
the public and the trainmen as well as
economy lor the company.
There is no chance to board the car
or leave it while in motion. It is pos
sible to open the gates only when the
car is standing still.
The entrance is at the center, with
an exit at either side of the entrance.
A low single step and ample platform
space are other features tending to
greater convenience. Passengers will
have the choice of using either the
front or rear units of the double car.
.It is proposed to install the twin car
first on those portions of the system
now served by two-car trains. As the
new car is shorter than the trains now
in use it naturally makes for less
street congestion. The length- over all
is 73 feet. The seating capacity Is 64
with plenty of standing-room.
This type of car first was Introduced
a year ago in Boston. Portland is the
second city in the country to adopt it.

The custom of Internal Bathing for

constipation, biliousness and the more
serious 'diseases which they bring on.
has become so universally popular and
so scientifically correct in its applica

sideration. -
Drugs for this purpose have proven
that their doses must be constantly in
creased to be effective; that they force
Nature instead of assisting her, and,
once taken, must be continued.
On the contrary, the scientifically
constructed Internal . Bath gently
assists Nature, but is infinitely more
thorough in its cleanliness than any
drug, no matter what its nature.

No matter WHO you are or WHAT you
are, WHERE you live, or WHAT your
vocation, if you desire to learn, you need the
Encyclopaedia Britannica
(llth Edition)
And you can afford it
WHEN it comes to private cars, yachts, great homes and country
estates of marvelous luxury, the great kings of finance and
the man of moderate means cannot compete.
BUT when it comes to the opportunity of obtaining knowledge, self-culture, and the joy of know
ing things, of real, not fancied, importance, the capitalist and the newsdealer, the captain and the
private, the college professor and the humble school ma'am are now, as never before, on a footing of
absolute equality. This has been made possible of attainment by people of all classes through the
remarkable enterprise of the University Press of Cambridge, England, in publishing, at a low price,
the new llth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
."When Rockefeller, Morgan or any of the great financiers wish expert knowledge, they can afford
to pay special investigators large fees for their services in uncovering information about conditions
governing the investment of millions of dollars.
The owner of the new Britannica, whether he be rich or of only moderate means, can turn to the
pages of this stupendous collection bf facts and put his finger on the latest phase of just tbe informa
tion that he requires to make his work accurate and authoritative.
A book for a?7 the people
To grow mentally, to know, to rise above the average level of intelligence is a sure means of better
ing one's worldly condition. How to be able to get facts quickly and easily is the groat problem of
progressive people. The new 'Britannica is going into the homes of ambitious men and women in
answer to this demand, to meet this need.
The miner who aspires to a better position will find mining facts in full in this wonderful store
house of human knowledge. The young chemist will find the newest and latest information in his
science. The leather merchant, manufacturer or worker can get the facts that the experts in his line
have discovered. The cotton grower, the wool man, the lumber man, the weaver, the dyer, the iron
founder will find practical helps to them in their various needs. The lawyer, the doctor, the clergy
man, will find this "work a gold mine of facts and Illuminating comment.
The new Britannica contains millions of facts covering every phase of human knowledge and expe
rience from the past right down to the present.
- It has been written by 1500 contributors, from 21 countries, each a leading authoritv n the subject
treated. The book contains no less than 44,000,000 words of text, 40,000 articles, 8000 full-page illus
trations and maps. It is the only encyclopaedia that is indexed, the Index containing more than
500,000 references.
Ask Yourself these Questions
Am I as well informed about my trade, business profes
sion as I should be? "When questions of fact arise, how
many times do I say, "I do not know?" Am I not content
to say too often, "I do not know?"
Without facilities for knowing, it is sometimes an
Herculean task to get posted. With the new Britannica,
easily affordable by any man or woman in moderate means,
not to know is to step back and let those go ahead who do
know or who can inform themselves easily.
You can own the complete Britannica
for a first payment of only $5.00
Modern bookmaking has made it possible for us to price
the new Britannica within reach of even the comparatively
low-salaried man or woman.

This book should pay
for itself quickly
The personal, practical gain that n careful study and
reading of the new Britannica will give to any serious
minded reader should bring a direct reward that will make
this investment pay big dividends. If you have growing
boys and girls you owe it to them to give them this oppor
tunity "to step up and on in the battle of life.
