PREPARATIONS ALL MADE toramanfler Says Entire Ontfit Could Iieave Within Few Hours After Transportation Is Furnished at the Post. VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash.. March 10. (Special.) Orders have been received here by Colonel r rancis M. French, in command of the post and the Twenty-first Infantry, to hold all .troops in readiness to depart at once, end to await further orders. Colonel French said tonight that his troops are ready to leave at any time and the time oetween notification and. departure would denend solely upon Jhow soon transportation could be se cured. This would be arranged for by the Western department at iSan Fran cisco. A train, or possibly two trains, oould be sent over from Portland, backed into the post and these would -be loaded at once by the soldiers with their baggage and equipment, which .'would be a matter of only a few hours. " Orders had previously been issued for Companies A, B and D, and the band f the Twenty-first Infantry, to go to ?an Diego to remain at the exposition there until January 1, but this was countermanded today. These troops were to have gone on the Pittsburg cruiser, which was to have steamed to the Government dock here, instead of having the troops moved by train to Seattle, as was originally intended. The officers of the Twenty-first In fantry and Company F. Engineers, all of the troops now in the post, are ready to leave for the border, if ordered, at any time. In case the troops are ordered away, enough soldiers will be left to police and guard the post. COAST ARTILLERY GETS ORDER Colonel Ludlow Says, However, Com panies Are Not to Move at Once. FORT STEVENS, Or.. March 10. (Special.) Colonel H. H. Ludlow to night declared that he received orders from the War Department today, but they did not call at this time for the movement of the Coast Artillery. The commanding officer declined to state what the nature of the orders was, but it is Inferred that they called for hold ing the coast artillerymen in readiness to move if need be. For several months the coast artil lerymen have been engaged in the practice of mine laying, and the com panies, which include the One Hundred and Sixth, Thirty-fourth and Ninety tnira, nave gone through their paces iaily in preparation for dtwy at the lront if called upon.

For four hours' unlawful imprison ment In her room at the Alder Hotel. December 22. and the holding of her furs and Jewelry in lieu of $21.50 rental. iWiss Beatrice Williams was awarded Shoo damages by a jury in the court of Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday, after 20 hours' deliberation. The trial was marked by recrimina tion that resulted in an attack of hy terics from which the plaintiff did not recover until she had been carried into the Judge's chambers. Miss Williams had stood insinuations concerning her own Hie without ado. but the mention of her baby, now in the custody of a divorced husband, brought on a tem porary nervous breakdown. Five thousand dollars was the sum asked by the plaintiff, who was repre sented by Attorney W. T. Hume. A similar suit brought by a companion of Miss Williams. Alice Fortner, is pend ing. The action was brought against the Alder Hotel Company and Mrs. S. K. McDougal. manager. Among the articles held by the hotel people was a watch containing a small photograph of the girl's child, which Miss Williams said she prized above all other things that were taken from her. vj ' i y i--v-'" : h ' xr II'' 1 l-J I f i i "" ' - I ' 4 , X ' ' $ ' f- , A I 3 -V v -l-4 t , f1 . i -. f 's - ' r r i -J f ' , " . jj TODAY'S KIL5I FEATURES.

There was Helen of Troy, who started riot in ancient Greece; Juliet, who had the hardest of luck in a most romantic love affair; Nell Gwynn be came the favorite of a King and a country, and Cinderella lost a slipper and found a Prince. Such were in the days of old, you say?

The romance is so true, yet so plain, that its truth, although charmingly beautiful, appears commonplace. The couple first appeared in the all-star revival of "Diplomacy," Miss Doro co- starring with William Gillette and Blanche Bates. Mr. Dexter was also in the cast. At the conclusion of the season a run Miss Doro went to the Coast to play in "The Morals of Mar cus" for the Famous Players, while Mr. Dexter appeared with Marguerite Clark in "Helene of the North." During the making of the productions their friend ship ripened to love, and it was shortly afterwards that the wedding bells pealed forth. Now they will co-star in "Diplomacy" on the screen.

APPROPRIATION IS PASSED Many Screen Children. . More child actresses have been de veloped by photoplays during the brief existence of the industry than the legit imate stage can boast of having made in its entire history. Most of them are children of theatrical people, and their fondness lor acting is inborn. Their schooling begins when they are old enough to talk, and it consists of in struction in the work of their chosen profession and in the ordinary branches of education as well. Versatility is demanded of the child actress in the same degree as of the adult star, and the capable child play ers receive from $10 to $20 a day for their work before the camera. There is the same aristocracy among child players and the same feeling of rivalry that exists among older theatrical luminaries.

(Special.) Another session of the state credits conference doubtless will be called within the next few months to adopt the form in which the pro posed constitutional amendments In dorsed by the convention, which closed here at noon toaay, shall be submitted. to the people. Meanwhile two committees will work -in conjunction with the Attorney-Gen eral on the drafts of the proposed measures that are to place the pro posed amendments in operations. If a majority of the committeemen determines that hetr work should be rcwicwea oy me wnoie conference De fore it goes before the people, the con ference will be called together again. When the meeting adjourned a ma jority of the delegates seemed to ex pect a future meeting. W. W. Cotton was the principal speaker in support or this idea. Harmony and Success Expected. Since the convention now has deter mined that it wants two separate meas ures one providing a system of rural credits and the other providing state aid for irrigation and drainage the committees have their work definitely outlined for them, and the rest of the delegates are hopeful that harmony at a future meeting will replace the trie tlon that was so apparent in the ses sions of the last few days, carrying both issues to a successful conclusion at the polls. The convention, so far as carrying out the purposes for which it was called together, virtually concluded its work last night. By remaining in ses sion until 1 o'clock this morning the resolutions expressing the policy of the conference finally were adopted. Time to Heal Differences. Today's session was devoted to the detail of creating two committees that shall have charge of the prelimin ary legislative work. It also was in tended as sort or a harmony meeting, but there was harmony only in the seeming attempt of both factions to drift farther apart. So the belief is pretty general that, after an interim of a few months, the delegates will have had time to forget their minor differences and that they will be ready to unite in their deter mination to conduct an aggressive and co-operative effort to enact the pro posed amendments into law. Summarized, the work or the conven tion is about as follows: An amendment to the constitution en abling the state to lend its credit to a rural credits system was proposed. Two Per Cent Limit Is Placed. An amendment to the constitution en abling the state to use its credit for irrigation and drainage was proposed. The bonds to be sold under either or both of these plans are not to exceed in the aggregate 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of the state. A committee consisting of J. D. Brown, president of the Farmers' Union; C. E. Spence, master of the state grange. and T. H. Burchard, president of the State Federation of Labor, ,-was ap pointed to work with the Attorney-Gen eral in drafting the proposed constitu tional amendment for the rural credits plan. A. L. Mills, chairman of the conven tion. was authorized to appoint a com mittee of three members one drainage man and two irrigation men to work with the Attorney-General in drafting the proposed constitutional amendment for state aid to irrigation, and drainage. Linking; of Issues Divides. The committees also will have power to draft the proposed initiative meas ures that will carry the proposed amendments Into effect, and to call an other convention if necessary. 'So far as possible" the committees are authorized to co-operate. The convention closed today as It had proceeded from the start divided de cisively on one issue, that of linking rural credits with state aid. The delegates from the State Grange, the Farmers' Union, the -Agricultural College, the State University and many from Western Oregon were .firmly united in their determination not to permit the state-aid plan to be linked with the rural-credits plan. They were proponents of rural credits but did no want to swallow" drainage and irri gation in order to get it. Governor Votes for Separation. They were championed on the floor of the convention by Thomas B. Kay. State Treasurer, and at some stages of the voting had the delegates from the State Federation of Labor with them. They had an abundance of oratorical talent besides the State Treasurer, notably Judge W. M. Colvlg, represent lng the Southern Pacific; Senator S. M. Garland, of Lebanon; W. H. H. Dufur, of the grange; A. R. Shumway, of th Farmers Union; E. J. Stack, of th labor federation, and others. Governor Withycombe voted with' them when h was in the house. On the other hand, the irrlgationlsts and most of the drainage people, to gether with a large proportion of th Portland delegation, stuck together i support of the plan to combine the three issues. This division was plain throughou the meetings. One break came whe Mr. Stack, of the Labor Federation joined with Asa B. Thomson, Oswald West and W. Lair Thompson in signing the original majority report of the resolutions committee providing for combination of the three measures. M: Stack explained that he did this to per mit this plan to come before the con vention on its merits. On subsequen Daiiots he voted with the taction sup porting the separation of issues. vv hen this morning's meeting tried to organize a committee to draft the proposed legislation Senator I. N. Day, c c Chapman and others of those wh had eupported the omnibus plan pro posed a single committee "in the inter ests of harmony. But the other side objected even to this. They even went farther and in sisted on naming their own committee to draw the rural credits bill. . Meetinc Date Mar Walt Election.

Opposition which heretofore has been voiced by certain members of the City ouncil against large appropriations for handling earth slides was missing yesterday's Council meeting when, Commissioner Dieck presented an ordi nance for J10.000 and it went through without a hitch. Trouble in getting the ordinance through had been predicted inasmuch as strife had developed as a result of ommissloner Dieck s recent open reak with Commissioner Bigelow when the latter opposed appropria tions, hindering protective work at the cene of impending slides.

The rains have been heavy in the Valley and the od- ervant delegate could not from the car windows see any sense in doing any thing that would provide any more water anywhere, so putting of water on land was arbitrarily excluded from the definition of rural credits, and the con vention proceeded to do business accordingly. Having succeeded in making irriga tion a pariah among agricultural im provements, there was a determined eff ort to exclude It altogether from con- ideration by the sovereign people. Treasurer Kay was pessimistic about Irrigation; oh, very pessimistic. Irrla-atlonists Don't Stay Down. It is probably an exaggeration to say that Mr. Kay proposed giving all East ern Oregon back to the coyotes and ndians, but there was quite a distinct impression created that when God made the land east of the Cascade Mountains he incurred Mr. Kay's personal displeasure. However, all efforts totally to sup press the irrlgationlsts in the confer ence of their own calling failed, and irrigation received equal consideration, such as it was, with rural credits. The final action of the conference was to delegate to two uninstructed committees the work which the con ference had beer, called to do. One committee will prepare a rural credits amendment and legislation; another committee will draft an amendment and legislation pertaining to state aid or irrigation and -drainage. End 3iot Gained. By implication, at least, these com mittees are required not to consult together. A motion instructing them t6 confer was voted down. Besides, the rural credits committee would not have anything to do with the other committee, anyway. However, after they have whittled away on amend ments a while, the majority of the two committees, provided they can get together without blows, may call the conference together again to examine the committees' carvings. Thus the farmers organizations and Federation of Labor are to do that which they might have done Just as well without going to Salem, and the rrigationlsts are to do that which they might just as well have done at their own congress in Portland. Portland Not "The People." The main idea was that by this policy the people would be able to make a more intelligent selection. By the term "people," the conference" apparently means those voters who are directly interested in one enterprise or the other. The one-third of the state popu lation in Portland, where neither rural credits nor irrigation is required, are not the "people." It came to no one's mind that per haps there would be a desire to see that the money that that community contributed for agricultural develop ment was distributed as fairly as pos sible between wet and arid communi ties. The amendments have not yet been drawn, but it is understood that whether one or both carry, the limit of Indebtedness incurred for purposes other than road construction is to be fixed at 2 per cent of the assessed valuation. 90,000,000 Bait Offered. Therefore, if the rural credits amend ment carries and the irrigation-drainage amendment is defeated, the rural credit supporters may subsequently get the whole tl8.OOO.0OO, which is 2 per cent of the assessed value. On the other hand, if rural credits Is defeated and irrigation wins. Irrigation may get the whole $18,000,000. If both carry, they will have to fight over division of the wad. There is thereby offered, in effect, a $9,000,000 bid for each side to vote against the other side, while the in nocent bystanders of Portland and other cities cannot tell what may happen if they vote both amendments through. The legislation is not to be co-ordinated, or dovetailed, or drawn in harmony as common sense dictates it should be. Each to Try to Beat Other. ' There are to be two initiated bills, which will provide a blanket credit of $18,000,000. Neither amendments nor bills will be drawn by the same com mittee or by committees working to gether. Each will take a pot shot at the $18,000,000. Can you beat it? Getting down to net results, the con ference decided that it was perfectly all right for two elements of different minds to use the expensive election direct election machinery of the state to defeat each others' ideas. That the word conference is used in the general sense should be explained. The irrigation enthusiasts were willing to present co-ordinated measures to the voters, but the majority was against them. Why long-drawn torture should be made of inevitable defeat of both propositions is one of the mysteries that is not permitted the ordinary individual to understand.
