candidates, Mrs. Samuel B. Sneath, is
third. These three states, it is pre
dicted, will determine the election.
Mrs. Josiah E. Cowles, of Los An
geles, Mrs. Sneatb's most formidable
opponent, has behind her, it is said, the
united support of the Western and
Northwestern states. Illinois, Mrs.
Cowles' supporters declare, will throw
its vote to their candidate because of
dissensions alleged to be due to the
presidential ambitions of two. Chicago
women. ,
The contest t between Mrs. Sneath,
who is first vice-president and a
director of a large trust company in
New Orleans, and Mrs. Cowles is being
waged with vigor. The two candi

Williams, dean of the school of jour
nalism, Columbia University; Miss

LAND GRANT BILL PASSES
- (Continued From First Page. )
night and this morning by the three
Congressmen from Oregon.
After the House adjourned last night.
Representatives McArthur, Sinnott and
Hawley called personally on as many
Representatives as they could reach,
and urged them to vote against the
Foster amendment. Mr; Foster,- mean
time, was making a similar canvass.
. An hour before the House met
this morning. Representative McArthur
posted himself at one entrance. Repre
sentative Sinnott at another and Rep
resentative Haavley at 'a third, and as
each member entered, he was appealed
to personally to vote to save the 30 per
cent for the counties. Inside the House,
Representative Johnson and LaFollette,
of Washington, and Smith, of Idaho,
carried on the missionary work.
- ' Republican Vote for Oregon.
Tho Foster amendment was voted
upon immediately when the House met,
the rollcall having been ordered be
fore adjournment last night. It re
sulted 128 for the amendment and 167
against it. The rollcall showed that
124 Democrats and four Republicans
Mann, of Illinois; Wilson, of Illinois
Stafford, Wisconsin, and Haugen, Iowa
voted to cut the county funds to 20 per
cent, while 124 Republicans and 43
Democrats Voted to give .the counties
30 per cent.
Wilson, of Illinois, who voted against
the counties, is the same Representa
tive who early in the session introduced
the Puter bill, and then withdrew it
when the Department of Justice began
its attack.
The vote .showed clearly the Demo
cratic opposition to Oregon's interests
which was .displayed time and again
during the fight of yesterday. After
the defeat 'of the Foster amendment
the House passevl the bill without roll
call.
At the conclusion of T right the
Oregon Representatives were warmly
congratulated upon their victory.
Representative Mann made the com-

ment that he had never before wit
nessed so determined a personal lobby
conducted by members of the House.
Speaking about the victory tonight.
Representative McArthur said: .
"We were lucky to get anything at
all for Oregon. The unfriendly atti
tude of the Cabinet officials amd the
open repudiation of the recommenda
tions of the public lands committee by
many prominent Democrats made our
fight a hard one. Our claims for rec
ognition of the state school fund and
the county road and bridge funds viid
not appeal to many members, as they
have no knowledge of Western condi
tions and do not appreciate the arrest
ed developmenfvf our state because ol
the land grant" blight. We are indebt
ed to the 43 independent Democrat!
who voted with us. Their action showed
breadth of vision."
Bill to Go to Senate Saturday.
- Senator Chamberlain, who yesterday
was authorized by the Senate public
lands committee to report the land
grant bill to the Senate, said today he
would probably submit the report- Sat
urday, and. he expects, in view of the
urgency, to secure consideration for the
bill in the Senate within a few days.
He added that few amendments will
be made Before reporting the bill to
the Senate, though he will change the
distribution of funds to conform gen-,
erally to his original plan.
As reported to the Senate, the bill
will give the state 40 per cent of the
receipts and 40 per cent will go to the
counties, unless it is decided to give a
portion of the counties' share to the
port districts. The exact form of
amendment which will be recommended
to care for the port districts, he said,
has not been . determined upon.
Senator Chamberlain believes . the
Senate will accept the amendments
which he will incorporate in the bill,
and this will throw the bill into con
ference, where the points of difference
between Senate and House will be
compromised.
Port Districts to Ask Share.
State Senator Bean, who is here rep
resenting the port districts, will see
Senator Chamberlain tomorrow and
uggest as an amendment 60 per cent
to the state,- 40 per cent to the coun
ties, and 10 per cent to the port dis
tricts. He thinks sia h an amendment
necessary if the House, on the final out
come, is to be expected to compromise
on terms favorable to Oregon.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, and Senator
Jones, of Washington, both told Sena
tor Bean todav that in their judgment
there is no justification for turning
any part of the receipts into the Fed
eral Treasury .or into the reclamation
fund; that the entire receipts should
go to Oregon and they advise that the
Senate give 100 per cent to the state,
counties and port districts.
W oman Accused ; of Foisting .Bab
Not Her Own on .Court to Obtain'
. Holland's Estate Is racing
Trial on 2 Mow Counts. "
CHICAGO. May 25. Mrs. Dolly
Ledgerwood Matters and her two co
defendants charged with conspiracy to
foist a spurious heir on the Probate
Court of Cook County were found not
guilty today.
Tho trial of Mrs. Matters, Charles T.
Mellon and Harry Edwards arose from
an effort to obtain control of the
entire estate of the late husband of
Mra. Matters, Frederick Matters, a
banker and moving-picture theater
owner, through the alleged Imposition
of a spurious posthumous heir on the
probate "court.
There were two hearings in the
probate court.' On the first occasion
Dr. L. C. Emile Beroard and Miss Des
Rosjers, obstetrician and nurse, re
spectively, of the Misericordla Hos
pital, Ottawa, Ont., where the alleged
posthumous heir was born, testified
that Mrs. Matters had given birth to a
child Irene. James Matters, a brother
of the decedent, contested the claim
and last December the doctor and the
hsrse confessed to Judge Horner of
"The Probate Court that they perjured
themselves when they swore that Mrs.
Matters gave birth to a, child in the
Ottawa" hospital. .
They asserted the child in question
was born to Jessie Bryan, whose real
name is Margaret Ryan. She testified
that she was told that her baby -was
dead. She said she believed the father
of her baby had gone to the war.
Indictments followed the confessions
of perjury. Dr. Beroard and Miss Des
Rosiers were Jointly indicted, with the
defendants but proved to be the state's
chief witnesses and it is expected they
will receive immunity.
While the Jurors would not discuss
their verdict, it was said that it was a
technical one. involving the Judgment
that the specific crime of conspiracy
had not been proved.
The defendants have a further charge
to answer to, namely the producing of
a false heir. Trial of this case .was set
for next Monday. Mrs. Matters also is
ejpected to face a charge of perjury
in connection with testimony given in
the Trobate Court.

INSPECTION RIGHT DENIED
House Resolution Calls for Ite
scntlns With Full Power of Navy
Interference With America's
Mutln to Neutral Countries
WASHINGTON'.' May 25. Vigorous
language, almost equalling that em
ployed lit the last communication to
Germany on the submarine issue, is
understood to. characterize the notes
delivered to the British and French
Embassies here yesterday- protesting
against interference with neutral
mails. '
It is understood there Is no substan
tial difference as to principle between
the State Department and the london
and Paris Chancellors regarding the
broad question of inviolability of first
class 'malls on the high sess. The
American objection is based rather on
the methods employed by the allied
governments in handling . these malls.
The United -States does, not concede
the right e-ven to inspect first-class
mails in transit on'the high seas, as
suming that these' do not include any
thing more than eorrespondence and
are not made the vehicle for supply of
contraband to the belligerents. The
fact that a , neutral vessel carrying
mails between neutral countries Is
compelled to come into a belligerent
port to comply with belligerent naval
rules, it is held, does - not remove
the- mail matter on .beard from the
privileged character of mail- on the
high seas.
A resolution authorizing the- trans
portation of mail to and from. neutral
ports on naval vessels and declaring
that "any interference with our mails
shall be resented by such ships with
all the power of .the Navy" and of ithe
ships," was Introduced today by-Representative
Tague, of Massachusetts
It was referred to a committee..
