Two pretty shades of coloring are used and add to the attractiveness. The Ford Sedan is the new body re cently announced. The car on exhibi tion is to be the private equipage of F. B.

There is nothing lacking in its body finish or equipment, and the de sign gives the car a much more bal anced and refined look than would be though possible with the small chassis of the regular Ford. The honors of first sales are dis puted. The touring-car honor seems to be in a fine big muddle, with every dealer laying claim to the title of first sale. Vur Sales Reported. So far but three agents have laid claim to the honor of having sold the first truck, and all place the time with in the first few hours of the opening Saturday. C. L.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 25. Representative Sin nott and Senator Chamberlain today appeared before the House committee on appropriations and urged appropria tions of all amounts recommended by Secretary Lane for Government irri gation work in Oregon -during; the year beginning July 1. including . $450,000 for some project yet to be selected i Central Oregon. They pointed out that past discrimination against Oregon the distribution of reclamation funds, and aside from showing the necessity for the amounts recommended for the Umatilla and Klamath projects, they indicated the fairness of the Secre tary's recommendation that $450,000 be allowed for some new project. They especially urged that this appropria tion be made as last recommended by Secretary Lane, to be available for use on any project of which Secretary approves, for if made on those terms the money can be spent either for an independent government project or for some project to be built jointly by the state and Federal Government The committee did not give any indica tion of its purpose. MOVIE MEN ARE INDICTED Kx-Meiuber of Band of Desperadoes Accused of Swindle. CHICO, CaL," Jan. 25. (Special.) George Sontag, member of the once- notorious Sontag and Evans gang which terrorized California 20 years ago, and George E. Duke, a former realty opera tor of Oakland, Richmond and Santa Rosa, were indicted by tne Butte County grand Jury today on charges of obtain- lng money under false pretenses. The indictments are the result of their oper ations in connection with, the United States Feature Film Company, which was organized by them last Summer to produce a picture which was said to depict some of the operations of the Evans and Sontag gang. The principal charge against them is that they sold stock in Chico and Oro ville with the understanding that they were to rectve no promotion stock, and that Duke had put $15,000 of his own money into the company. Both these statements were declared misrepresen tations. Duke was arrested in Orovllle tonight and released under $4700 bonds, Sontag is in San Francisco, and notice was sent to the-San Francisco police to arrest him. . Effort Is Made to Discredit Testimony of Man Involving Bryan Consul Defends Defendant la Hearing. NEW YORK, Jan. 25. A letter from President Wilson commending tile ad ministration of Walter W. Vick as Re ceiver-General of customs at Santo Do mingo was placed in evidence today at the inquiry before Senator-elect Phe lan. of California, into the fitness of James M. Sullivan, American Minister to the Dominican Republic. It was Mr. v ick who, after resigning his post, in tigated the charges of unfitness against Sullivan which led to the pres ent investigation. The letter addressed to Vick from the White House on June 22, 1914, expressed the President's regret that ick felt obliged to resign, and "my sincere admiration for the way in which you have administered a difficult task." Frank J. R. Mitchell occupied the stand the greater part of the session and entered denial .to all the charges against the Banco Nacional, of which he was president.

Dealers are laying emphasis on the Improvements which many have made in the designs of springs and tonneau arrangements which are Intended to add to the comfort of the passengers. Thj White, for one. has a tonneau built for the average touring party of four or live which is exceedingly attractive. Handy Closet Provided. The back of the front seat is beauti fully panelled and the panels may be opened so that a handy little cupboard is exposed. Here the tourist may place in safety such things as are needed during the day. A, good-sized lunch, with dishes and nil accouternients. may be stowed there in safety. The Idea is but one of the many shown. Every car has its points which have ben designed expressly for the man who does much traveling across the country. Increased capacity for carrying gaso line is provided oi many cars, while some figure on lightening the load by making the tank small and depending on the grocery store on every cross-road which has long ago become a serv ice station. Two features which attracted much attention are the Ford Sedan and the new line of Chalmers which arrived yesterday. New Models Admired. The Chalmers was the subject of much comment because of the wonder ful finishing which the bodymakers have done. Its points are too numer- in the lecture-room on the second floor. The Columbia River Highway lec tures by Samuel C. Lancaster will be continued today. His wonderful views have caused no end of comment, and the lecture is one of the best attended features of the show each night. Picture Exhibit Unique. The big feature of the evening at the show was Samuel Hill and J. B. Middle- ton, who is associated with Mr. Hill In the Home Telephone Company. Their exposition opened up a new art and was applauded with the presenta- of the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. With Mr. Moore, Alex ander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, and President Vail, of the American Telephone & Telegraph Com pany, on the wire, at different pftints, the President extended congratulations on the achievement. "It appeals to the imagination to speak across the continent," said the President to Mr. Moore. "I congratu late you on the fine prospects for a successful exposition. I am confident ly hoping to take part in it after the adjournment of Congress. May I not send my greetings to the management tion of each new picture.

An Oregon orchard of the Hood River Valley is first shown in full bloom. Then the picture on the screen changes from a mass of pink and white to green tree with its load of leaves and fruit. Very gradually the color changes under the hand of Autumn until the deep colors of late Fall are brought into the trees. An interesting exhibit of last night was that of the Pacific Motors Com pany, which had a Maxwell camp car on exhibition. The Maxwell features removable front seat. This can be taken out and turned down so that the back takes the place of the back cushion. The back cushion is moved forward and the effect is a Pullman car berth arranged in less time than it takes a Pullman porter to make it up. The Reo cars were a popular host last night. Fred W. Vogler was asked again, and again about the Reo Six which is soon to be here. The new four attracted a great deal of atten tion. Of special merit was the music last night furnished by an orchestra of ten pieces. Vocal selections were renaerea by Miss Hazel Koontz, assisted by Dean Goodman. The oarade. which was such a suc cess last night, may be repeated to night by an impromptu gathering of dealers and motorists. The Dulmage-Manley Auto Company has on display a motor out of a Hup mobile demonstrator which has caused much comment. .Tnis motor was tne first 1915 to come to Portland, and im mediately upon arrival Mr. Dulmage took the car and toured soutnern ure- gon. Manager Joseph M. Kieg declared last night that, in point of outside entries, the show was a great success. So far he has been handed 20 mileage rebate checks from visitors who have come from Oregon.

Purchase of paper by the municipal ity on specifications Dased upon an offi cial test, instead of on the present basis, is proposed by City Commissioner Dleck. He sent a communication to members of the City Commission yesterday ask ing them to back him in the appoint ment of F. A. Olmsted as paper expert to assist City Chemist Dulln in prepar ing specifications. Mr. Olmsted, it is said, has agreed to give his services for $100. Commissioner Dieck says the city at present is buying paper in an unscien tific manner, lie says an official test probably would save the city consider able money. Commissioner Daly prob ably will oppose the plan. L M. FRANKJFACES DELAY Alleged Slajer's Request for Early Hearing of Appeal Opposed. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Attorneys for Leo M. Frank, convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan, an Atlanta factory girl, filed a formal motion to day in the Supreme Court for an early hearing on nrnns appeal, on nis habeas corpus proceeding.

New York, the President then spoke to Thomas A. Watson, in San Francisco. Mr. Watson was Dr. Bell's electrician at the time of the invention of the tele phone and was the first person to hear a word spoken over a telephone. 1 consiuer it an honor," said the President, "to be able to express my admiration for the inventive genius and scientific knowledge that has made tnis possible and my pride that this vital cord should have been stretched across America as a new symbol of our unity and our enterprise. Will you not convey my cordial congratulations to Dr. Bell? And I want to convey, too. my personal congratulations, sir." -Mr. Vail, listening in on the line at Jekyll Island, the President then spoke to ur. seu: iiay x not congratulate you very warmly on this notable consummation or your long labors and remarkable achievements? said the President. "You are justified in feeling a great pride in what has been done. This is a memorable day and I convey to you my warm congratulations." The President said that he could hear Mr. Moore in San Francisco very distinctly. The transcontinental service will not be established for public use until Dout March 1. It will cost $20.71 for three minutes conversation between New York and San Francisco and $6.75 for each additional minute. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan.. 23. After the first successful Interchange of mes sages between Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas A. Watson, in talking to day from New York to San Francisco, the original instrument used in the first conversation between the two was cut in on the circuit and the voices still were distinct. As a further test, an extension was set up from New York to Jekyll Is land, Florida, where Theodore N. Vail, president of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, kas waiting, and and Mr. Watson and Mr. Vail talked over a circuit 4600 miles long. Mayor Rolph, of San Francisco, Mayor Mitchel, of New York, and many others exchanged messages. CONNECTION" MADE QUICKLY San Francisco and Portland Talk Distinctly Distance of TOO Miles. When President Wilson ' and Dr. Alexander Graham Bell had finished talking from Washington and New York, respectively, to San Francisco, The Oregonian was in communication with San Francisco. The connection between Portland and San Francisco was effected in less than three minutes and the voice of W. H. Levings. assist ant city editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, was heard in the office of The Oregonian, over a distance of more than 700 miles, as clearly as if it had been a local call under perfect condi tions. "Our reporters talked to New York and Washington and Mr. De Young held conversation with the New York World office and the Boston Post." said Mr. Levings. who is a brother of L. L. Levings, of Portland. "It took about five minutes, I imagine, for the con nection to be made between San Fran cisco and New York, and we are told here that it will take less time within a few weeks, when the mechanism is in thoroughly good working order. "It would be well for. Portland to be on the lookout for an outbreak in the Chinese tong war tonight. The signs are foreboding and the police here expect to hear it has broken out in Portland at any time." While the connection between New York and San Francisco is not offered by the telephone company on a com- WOMAN- SHOOTS ALDERMAN Action Interrupts Meeting of Chi cago City Council. CHICAGO, Jan. 25.

Mr. Reeves asked this Drivllege, say ing he originated the idea of having the Oregon lead the naval procession through the canal on the occasion of its formal opening. Secretary Daniels says that at least 12 persons to his knowledge make the same assertion- and as he has no way of determining to whom the credit be longs, and as there is not accommoda tion aboard for all who claim the credit, he must treat all alike and deny all this privilege. .

Fourth Floor HI PLEA IS HEARD Examination Into Sanity Is etitioned of Supreme Court. BAIL IS NOT YET OFFERED Attorney for Stanford White's Slayer Says Nothing Is to Be Done to Delay Justice and Prisoner Is Returned to Tombs. NEW YORK, Jan. 25. Harry K. Thaw wll be arraigned in Supreme Court here Wednesday to answer to charges of conspiring ti escape from Matteawan asylum, where he was confined following the killing of Stanford White. ' . On the day of arraignment Justice Davis will decide a motion by counsel for defense that Thaw be sent to Bel levue Hospital so it might be de termined whether or not he were insane. - No attempt was made to have the prisoner released on bail and r Thaw was remanded to the Tombs. Thaw appeared in court accompanied by two prison wardens. John B. Stanchfield in announcing that he did not expect to apply for bail for Thaw, said that it was his intention not to hamper the course of justice or place any obstacles in the path of the law. Pleading on his motion to have his client committed to Bellevue, he said an act of the Legislature passed in 1910 regulated cases such as that of Thaw by decreeing that in the case of a person charged with a crime for which the maximum punishment is $500, or a year in jail, and found ap parently to be insane, the judge must send him to Bellevue, where be must be examined. If he is found sane he must be returned to the jurisdiction of the state and the trial must be resumed. William Travers Jerome's rejoinder, as representative of the state was that there are but two ways by which Thaw may get out of Matteawan. One Is for the superintendent of the in stitution to certify before a Justice of the Supreme Court that Thaw is sane and the second is by suing out a writ of habeas corpus. 75 CARS OF OATS SEIZED Shipment Is Adulterated, Charges Federal Government.
