WOODPECKER ROBS ILWAC0 Short Circuit of Pumping Indicator Huns Up City's Power Bill. ILWACO, Wash.. Jan. 31. (Special.) A woodpecker is blamed for large additions to Ilwaco's bill for pumping city water. The contract for filling the muni cipal reservoir is let to a power com pany and an electric indicator notifies the engineer when the required depth of water has been provided. For some months the bill has been regarded aa excessive and the num ber of hours required dally to All the basin has varied to a marked degree. Investigation has placed the blame on an innocent woodpecker which chose one wire for a perch and with its tail touching the other wire made a short circuit so that the engineer's signal to stop pumping was controlled by the woodpecker's rest rather than the depth of water provided.

Government Fully Expects to Be Vindicated in Demand for Army Increase. CAMPAIGN IS UNDER WAY Trend in Direction of Two-Party System Observed by Many--Present Ministry Composed of Group of Minorities. TOKIO, Jan. 16 (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Energetic can vassing is already under way for the general election for the House of Rep resentatives, which has been called by the Emperor for March 25, following the dissolution of the House because of its refusal to approve the military pro gramme of the Cabinet. - It is declared in governmental circles that the rejection of the project to in crease the army by two divisions in Corea is not to be interpreted as indi cating a cessation of military develop ment in Japan. The Emperor and the Cabinet felt so confident that the nation supported the idea of military increase that they did not hesitate to agree on the dissolution of the House where the majority of the members, affiliated with the so-called Seiyukal party, were op posed to the present ministry. Nation's Credit Involved. The Seiyukal not only rejected the army increase but disapproved the pro posed amendment to the sinking fund law, which was an important feature of the .Tovernmenfs financial pro gramme. The present law requires that the sum of 60,000.000 yen ($25,000,000) will be set aside each year-for redemp tion. In the past this has. tended to a promotion of new borrowing to pay old debts. When the borrowing took the form of treasury bills or short-term loans the Interest paid was much higher than in the case of loans redeemed. The total debt was not reduced and the in terest showed a tendency to go up. The government decided that a policy of redemption which meant the creation of a new debt was not wise, and pro posed that the amount set aside each year to the sinking fund should be re duced to 30,000,000 yen. The difference of 20,000,000 yen was to be employed for railroad construction and otfler pub lic works instead of finding capital for this purpose by notes and bills. The opposition contended that the reduction in the sinking fund allotment would do harm to Japan's credit abroad. Two-Partr System Developing. The efforts of the government will now be directed toward securing the election of members of their own groups. Prince Katsura, a great and popular statesman, worked for a two party system in Japanese politics. There are many people who declare they see a trend in that direction now with the Seiyukal party on the one hand and the governmental and possibly independent group on the other. The parties which have been termed the Doshi-kai and Chusei-kal, the two governmental groups, mean, respective ly, "Same Mind Association" and "Golden-mean Association." Their policy is popularly accepted as being progres sive. The last important group is known as the Kokuminto, meaning the nation alists' party. It is the independent sec tion of the House, and has as its leader Ki Inukal, ono of the most energetic and most popular members of the Diet. The Seiyukal hold about 200 seats, the Doshi-kai 92, the Chusei-kai 36 and the Kokuminto about the same number. Cabinet Refuses to Resign. The last Cabinet was a Selyukai Cabi net, and it was overthrown because the House of Peers refused to accept the budget on account of the naval scandal for which the Tamamoto ministry was held responsible. It was then that Count Okuma was selected to accom plish the difficult task of forming a Cabinet of the minority parties. The recent session of the Diet was the first real opportunity to show Its power and to hold office in the face of an hostile majority. Defeated by that majority the Okuma Cabinet, Instead of resign ing, arranged a dissolution, feeling that the people favored the Cabinet s pro gramme, and that at a new election the Cabinet group would win a majority of seats. If. the Selyukai win the forth coming elections the Okuma Cabinet will probably retire. The slogan of the Doshi-kai group was pronounced by a chairman of a re cent meeting to be as follows: Guaran tee of the peace of the Far East and expansion of national defense; solution of the American and Chinese questions; encouragement of industry and im provement of commerce; the strength ening of national finances.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 31. The United States cruiser San Diego arrived here today from Mexican waters, bearing the bodies of Charles W. Peterson and Ralph B.

The Saturn sailed today for Mare Island, from where the bodies will be sent to the men's homes. Three others, injured in the explosion, will recover. Captain Ashley u.

Many Republican Senators who have not yet spoken on the bill have long speeches In preparation. Notwithstanding the formidable ar ray of the opposition, however. Demo cratic leaders are confident that their parliamentary advantage at this stage of the struggle can soon be pressed home and that a way will be found to break the deadlock. What will be the fate of President Wilson's veto of the Immigration bill because of the restrictive literacy test Is another subject of supreme Interest in the Congress for the week. Tho veto message sent to the llouxe last week will be called up Thursday by Representative Burnett, chairman of the Immigration committee, and prob ably the entire day and much of the night will be dovoted to Its discussion on a motion to reconsider the vote by which It originally was passed and to pass it despite executive dlsapprovsl. House May Sustala Veto. That some Democratic members who voted for the bill do not propose to vote to overrldo the President's re jection already Is known and House leaders are not certain that the re quired two-thirds vote can be procured. Should the bill fall to receive a two thirds vote it will die. If it passes, few doubt that the Senate would give it considerably more than the neces sary two-thirds majority, it having passed there originally by 60 to 7. Senator Reed, who has been opposed to the Administration on much of the party legislation, has given notice of his Intention to support the Prenldent's veto of the Immigration bill In a Senate speech tomorrow, provided he can get the floor during the ship purchase debate. The naval appropriation bill con tinues as the untlnlshed business In the House, with the fight over the building programme still pending. Ts. bate on the bill will be resumed Tues day and efforts will be made by tlie party leaders to reach a final vote bv Saturday night. If possible. The forti fications subcommittee on appropria tions will meet this the week to com plete the fortlflratlon supply measure and hopes to report a bill within a few days carrying approximately 13,000.000.
