t9 CONSERVATION ACTS ARE UNLIKELY SOON Administration Programme Is Expected to Meet Oppo sition in Senate. LEASING PLAN NOT LIKED System Again Would Concentrate Power In Washington and Keep States From Collection of f . Taxes, Are Arguments. - - ' OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash ington, Dec. 4. The Administration's conservation programme will not slip through the Senate as easily as It went through the House of Representatives, and there Is no certainty that the re maining conservation bills can be pas sed before the close of the short ses sion. Western Senators, generally, disapprove of the leasing system which is embodied in the three big conserva tion bills that await consideration by the Senate, and these bills will be stout ly resisted when they are reported by the committees which now have them In charge. When the Alaska oal land leasing bill was being considered by the Sen ate last Fall, several westerners, and particularly Senator Shafroth of Colo rado and Senator Borah, of Idaho, ex pressed their disbelief In the leasing system, especially as applied to the states. They did not make a protract ed fight against the Alaska leasing bill, however, as they realized it must be a leasing bill or nothing; and they did not care to defeat the only bill which possibly could be passed with a view to opening up the Alaska coal fields for development. Alaska being almost entirely made up of Government land," they conceded that the argument in favor of leasing in Alaska was stronger than in the states of the West But, while they acquiesced in the passage of the Alas ka leasing bill, the, Western Senators, with few exceptions, ventured the pre diction that the leasing system would not prove a success. When the attempt. Is made to put through a general leasing bill provid ing for the development of the coal, oil, phosphate and other mineral lands in the Western states, a stubborn fight will be made by those who do not be lieve in the leasing system. One of the principal objections will be that there is already too much bureaucracy In the government service, and especially in those branches that deal, with the West. The national forests are now admin istered largely from Washington; the public lands are under Washington di rection, as are the Indian problems, and much of the discontent has been due to misunderstanding on the part of Washington officials 'of the condi tions that prevail 2000 or 3000 miles away that and because of delays in dealing with Washington. Under the leasing system, Washington again would be headquarters, and hundreds of new offices would have to be created to administer the leasing system. Furthermore, the objection will be raised that under the leasing system vast areas In each of the public land states will forever remain In the hands of the government, and while they re main in government hands, will not be subject to state taxation. Then there is the argument that the leasing system has always proved a failure Jn this country, and will not, at this time, encourage development as rapidly as would a system which passes title to those who intend to develop the natural resources. And lastly, comes the question of waste, which always has been found when the leasing system has been tried out. These objections will apply, In most Instances, to the leasing of power sites, as well as to the leasing of coal and other mineral lands, and the fight that is made on the leasing bill will be repeated on the water power bills, or vice versa, depending on which is first brought up for consideration. In all probability there are votes enough in the Senate to pass all the pending conservation bills, but with so much other legislation demanding attention . this Winter, there Is a doubt whether ' a. vote can be had on the leasing bills before March 4.

Status for Repre sentatives Mast A sit Berlin Pan America Is Studying Matter. WASHINGTON. Dec 25. Germany has notified some of the neutral coun tries having Consuls in Belgian terri tory now under German military au thority that the exequators crediting the Consuls to Belgium will not be recognized further than recognition will be granted to those whose countries so desire. Representatives of South American republics have Informed Secretary Bryan of the receipt of such notice from Germany, but State Department offi cials said tonight they knew of no communication on this subject being received here. It is believed in diplo matic circles, however, that the notice is on its way to all powers whose Con suls would be affected. The attitude to be assumed by the American republics toward this action is expected to be considered by the Pan- American Commission, composed of Sec retary Bryan and eight other members of the governing board of the Pan American Union, recently named to Btudy questions relating to maintenance of neutrality in this hemisphere. Diplo mats say the subject is one of exceeding delicacy and one in regard to which the American countries probably would de sire to act in unity. It became known tonight that all the members of the Pan-American Commis sion already have been apprised of the German notification. A special commit tee of three members, it was said, might be selected to give preliminary study to the matter and report to the full Commission. ' In the meantime constant cable com munication between the Ambassadors and Ministers here and their govern ments will be maintained. CAflALClBElS INJURE NEW FACTOR IN HYDRAULIC EN GINEERING DEVELOPED. Sudden Mixing; of Fresh and Salt Waters Causes Disturbance and Damage to Vessels In Channel. WASHINGTON, Dec 25. A new fac tor in hydraulic engineering has been developed as the result of the opera tion of the Panama CanaL None of the distinguished engineers who particl-( ever took into account the peculiar con ditions that might arise and affect nav igation as a result of the sudden mix ture of large quantities of fresh, and salt water. Yet it has been found that an im portant element of delay in the passage of vessels through the canal is caused by' the discharge into the great locks, already filled with salt water from the oceans at either end, of the per fectly fresh water which fills the prism of the canal and Is supplied fror the Charges and other rivers. The result of the sudden mixture of the waters when the lock valves are opened is the creation of heavy. currents which continue until the fresh water has thoroughly permeated the heavier salt water, and these currents, sweep ing back and forth through the locks, are apt to dash about and seriously in jure any vessel within unless she is se curely held and carefully handled. MEN IN JA1LARE FEASTED Thirty-Five Prisoners Get Tempting Christmas Jleal. "A square meal at 'last," was the thankful ejaculation of a "well-known and popular man about town," sojourn ing temporarily at the City jail as the result of a bi-weekly spree, as he stared at the bountiful repast spread out by Jailers Branch and Cameron yesterday for the 35 prisoners there. There was turkey. Drowned to a turn - and giving off a fragrant odor. There was cranberry sauce with Its deep red dye. There was mince pie, steaming hot. And there were apple pies, sandwiches, nuts, - candy and oranges enough to fill the most cav ernous hollow in a hungry man. The Apostolic Faith Mission, the Sal vation Army and other religious insti tutions contributed provisions lor the festival at the Jail yesterday.

HEAVY MAJORITY CLAIMED Prohibition Forces Say New Legis lature Is Overwhelming on Their Side Influx of Ousted Re sorts Greatly Feared. : BOISE. Idaho. Dec. 25. (Special.) Idaho may lock arms with Oregon and Washington and on January 1, 1916, go over into the prohibition column. This is the plan, of the dry forces, who have raised in It one of the most momentous political Issues In the his tory of this state. The Legislature will be 85 per cent "dry," according to their figures. This means that not only will a constitutional amendment be passed but a statewide prohibition act will be placed on the statute books. There are 61 votes In the next House of Representatives. Of this number the drys claim 45 or both two-thirds and a majority. In the Senate there are S3 votes. The drys believe they have 27 of these for both constitutional and legislative prohibition. Fear that Idaho may b used as a stamping ground by the liquor traffic when Oregon and Washington go dry In 1916 has prompted the move to make the proposed act effective on the same date as the laws of the two West ern border states. This will give the liquor interests in Idaho a year to pre pare to go out of business. William J. Herwig, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, has stirred party leaders with the peculiar condi tions that) confront prohibition advo cates. After reviewing the legisla tion passed In Oregon and Washington he said: "If we1 only submit a constitutional amendment we will not be able to vote on this amendment until ten months later than January l. .1916. During this time Idaho would become the dumping ground of the liquor traffic of the states of Washington and Oregon. We need Idaho dry for our own protection." That there will be some lively side stepping in the new Legislature over the prohibition issue is now conceded by party leaders. This will be brought about by a dispute as to the exact meaning of the Republican party pro hibition plank. The Republicans have control of both branches of the Leg islature. The party platform convention nailed into the platform a plank providing that in the event a two-thirds ma jority membership was elected to the Legislature a constitutional amend ment would be passed, and in the event there was not a two-thirds mem bership elected a statewide prohibition act would be supported. The Repub licans have not a two-thirds member ship. MURDER ARREST EXPECTED Ringleader in New York Baff Case May Be In Buffalo. NEW YORK, Dec. 25.

It was also learned that, as a result of recent developments, the police and the District Attorney's staff believe one of the ring leaders in the Baff plot has been located in Buffalo.
