COW EPIDEMIC ATTACKED Liberal Appropriation Made. Stamp Out Disease. to WASHINGTON. Feb. 23. More than one dollar In every 10 expended by the Government for all agricultural pur poses In the next two years will be de. voted to extirpating the foot and mouth disease, under the terms of the agrlcui- tural appropriation bill passed by the Senate today. The foot and mouth ap propriation is J2, 500.000 and the total carried by the bill 123,000.000. xne Dm was the seventh big supply measure passed by the Senate and seven are pending. The agricultural bill carries an ap- DroDriation of J235.000 for the free distribution of seeds, although the ag ricultural committee struck this item out. Debate on the naval bill centers upon committee amendments, adding several millions to the House bill, including provision for five Bea-going submarines instead of one, and 16 coast defense submarines instead of 11. The House today began work on the last of the supply measures for con sideration in that body, the general de ficiency bill. Conferences on other measures which have passed both houses are progressing favorably. That there is some hope of passing the Philippine self-government and ultimate independence bill at this ses sion of Congress became apparent to day and Administration leaders set to work to find a means of disposing of it in short time. Prestdmt Wilson told several Senators that he wished the measure could have the right of way over any other general legislation and be passed in the midst of appropria tion legislation if necessary. Senator Simmons conferred witn Senator Hitchcock, chairman of tne Philippine committee, and later Senator Hitchcock said he believed the bill would pass. STRIKE COST $1,250,000 COLORADO Fl'EL & IRON COMPAXY STATEMENT GIVEN. Condltiona More Satisfactory Now to Workmen, President Wclborn Telia Board of Directors. NEW YORK, Feb. 25. The recent strike at the mine3 of the Colorado Fuel & iron Comuuny cost the com pany, directly and Indirectly, approxi mately $1,250,000. President Wellborn estimated in a statement issued today in connection with the monthly meet ing of the directors, which was' held in this Mty instead of Denver, where board meetings usually are held. The statement told of a plan, already part ly put into effect, for providing club houses at several Colorado camps and also went into det-ul regarding the condition of tho company's business and its prospects. "Although our mine employes were generally speaking, satisfied with their working oenditions at the time the strike was called," said President Wel born, "and had been for many years prior thereto, I know I am safe in say ing that they are better satisfied and have a more :iendly feeling toward the company today than they ever had before. v "We have furnished employment to tho maximum number of men at all our operating mines in order to take care of as many as possible of the de sirable workmen who participated in the strike. A larger percentage than usual ot tho workmen have families, and in re-empioying the strikers we have gvt;n preference' to the married men." A report was submitted by Presi dent Welborn showing earnings for January and for the first seven months of tho company's fiscal year. Gross earnings for th- latter period showed marked desereases from the preced ing two years, but tbe company's def icit, after deducting all charges, is now $496,481. compared with $579,641 a year ago and $922,712 two years ago. The resignations of George J. Gould and L. M. Bowers as directors were accepted and the places left unfilled. Mr. Gould resigned, it was said, be cause his connection with various railroads conflicted with his duties on the Colorado Fuel board. It is un derstood that the Gould holdings In the company still are large. President Wei bora's detailed state ment, in which reference was made to tho cost of the recent strike, computed this cost at $464,C00 in direct outlay and at from $700,000 to $800,000 Indi rectly. SAVE SYRIANS IS PLEA CONDITIO WORSE THAN IX BEL GIUM, SAYS RELIEF WORKER, Call Made for Funds and Foods Brings Speedy Subscription of $150. Starvation Threatens. " Bearing an apiJeal to the Syrians in America to save the people of Syria from starvation, a commuunication has been 'received by Portland residents of that nationality from the Syrian relief committee in Ixew York, urging that contributions bo made immediately to assist in the work of relief. The Syrians have responded to the call and are gathering funds. A. E. Atiyeh, of Atiyeh Bros.. Tenth and Alder streets, is acting as chair man of the relief committee. He re ported last night that about $150 had been subscribed as the result of phone conversations which he had during the day. Mr. Atiyeh issued a call to the Syrians, urging that all contribute gen erously to the relief work. He also asked that others of Portland, who wish to aid in the relief of suffering, feel free to assist. "The suffering of the people of Syria Is fully as great, if not greater, than that of the Belgians." said Mr. Atiyeh. "Belgium has been in the center of the war zone and as a consequence has been in the limelight. In Syria the Turkish army has occupied the terri tory, the men have been conscripted into the army, people evicted from their homes to make quarters for the sol diers and the grain, provisions and money belonging to the people have been taken, leaving the inhabitants to starve. "Relief must be speedy. If at all, or many of the people will not survive. Any money received here will be for warded to the Syrian relief committee in New York, sent by the United Stats Government to Turkey and distributed through the Board of Foreign Mis sions." Seattle Car Service Cut Opposed. SEATTLE. Wash., Feb. 25. Council man Hesketh has prepared a resolu tion to introduce at the Council meet ing next Monday, asking the State Public Service Commission to forbid the Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Company to discontinue direct downtown service from certain outly ing districts and substitute stub-lines with transfers. The company alleges that it has been obliged to discontinue through service on account of motor bus competition which steadily in creases. Marshfield Theater Sold. MARSHFIELD, Or., Feb. 25.

FOR RECALL OF APPOINTEES SIGNED Governor Calls Measure Nec essary if Administration Is to Be Economical. STATEMENT GIVES VIEWS Emergency Clause Defended and As sertion Made taw Will Prevent Pernicious lobbying Against . Merging ot Offices. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 25. (Special.) After signing Senate bill 312. which empowers the Governor and several state boards to recall appointive of ficers. Governor Withycombe today gave out a statement declaring the meas ure a necessity if the wishes of the people for an economical administra tion ato to be fulfilled. The Executive defends the emer gency clause feature of the measure. declaring that it is necessary to ob tain promptly the best possible ef ficiency in the various departments for the law to become effective at once. Admitting that the removal power can be abused and overused. Governor Withycombe Bays he intends to exercise every precaution against its abuse and, in his opinion, its ex istence will have such & salutary ef fect that it will seldom be necessary to make use o it. fr Statement Is Quoted. Governor Wlthycombe's statement is as follows: In signing; Senate bill No. Ill I am fully aware that It1 has been the subject of bitter, if nurety partisan, criticism. I am also aware that this criticism, while so framed aa to charge that the referendum rights of the people In this particular in stance are being abused, has in reality nothing; to do with tho welfare of the peo ple or of the public service, but rather finds origin In seinsn ana partisan ta tyrant. I most firmly believe now, as I always have, that the laws ot the people must bo af.nH..H eafecuarded and upheld. The emergency clause should not be used to de . , v a UffirlmntK niirnoieB of the ref erendum, but neither should the referendum be abused as an agent lor crippling a competent administration ot thoso very Tn tbe particular case of Senate bill No. SI 2. the Legislature has held that an emerg ency exists owing to the necessity ot cre ating and maintaining efficiency In the various state departments. I believe that the facts Justify such an Interpretation of existing conditions. The public weal actu ally Is affected, or may well become af fected, under the existing system, with many aubordlnate officials exercising im portant functions of state government with out real responsibility to the power which appoints them, and whicn power, in turn, i. hoiH rpRnnnnlble bv the people for the satisfactory administration of the people' laws. Right .of Removal necotu. r.ovai rn-nDfration and assistance, as well as competency, economy and Industry, are. essential to proper administration, and where such la lacking the appointive power, whether It be a board or the executive, bmiiii have the right of removal, and should have It promptly. I believe It is eminently iituns uu i" appointive power should have the power nt removal, and I feel that suoh additional authority will work for the very best in- teresta of the puDiic ana wh. hoi up posed except by those whose political poal iin. tti.iv be ieonardized. and by their friends,- who, under one pretense and an other, will attack its immediate operation. Th.r. ha. been. It is needless to point out, a general demand for a stricter econ omy in state administration. ueumuu has grown, in no small measure, from the extravagance of a multiplicity of com missions and departments vvnicu nava sprung up. I believe the operation of this act will eliminate possibility of any repe tition of the tactics of office .holders, whose pernlc'ous lobbying embarrassed the Legislature's efforts for economical con solidations. Lastly, the removal power van uc jiu.-,c.i and over-usea, out nm. . . power. In this particular instance I intend to exercise uvery precaution against Its abuse and 1 believe its very existence will have such a salutary effect that it will be necessary to employ it seldom.

Tho treaty, which expresses regret that anything should have happened to mar the friendly relations between the two countries and provides for the pay. ment by the United States of $25,000,000 for Colombia's loss resulting from the taking of the Panama Canal zone, was ratified by the Colombian Senate many months ago.
