THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATUBDAT, JULY 15, 191C.
PLANS
STILL UNDECIDED
Insistence on Extension of
Programme May Further
Delay Adjournment.
HOUSE NEARLY FINISHED
Senate, However, Has .Not Agreed
on Policy as to Child abor,
Workmen's Compensation
and Immigration Bills.
WASHINGTON. July 14. Democrats
ef the Senate will caucus tomorrow
night to consider further the legisla
tive programme for the remainder of
the session. Some Democratic Sena
tors are making urgent appeals for
consideration of special measures not
included in the programme drawn up
by party leaders, and Democratic and
Republican conferees have been unable
to agree Anally on what measures
should be disposed of before adjourn
ment. m
At a Joint conference with the Demo
crats early this week Republican Sena
tors agreed to a programme including
the appropriation, revenue, shipping
and corrupt practices bills.
Other Measures Insisted C
There was no agreement, howe . r, on
the child labor, workmen's comp. Ra
tion and immigration measures, .and
their champions now are insisting that
they should not be deferred until next
session. -Other Democrats are pressing
for action on the vocational educa
tional bill, the suffrage amendment and
numerous other measures.
Senator Gallinger, the Republican
leader, told the Senate today that how
soon an adjournment was reached was
entirely within the hands of the Demo
crats, and that the Republicans would
co-operate good-naturedly in complet
ing the programme and would resort
to no obstructive tactics. The Repub
licans, he said, wanted to go home for
the campaign as badly as did the Dem
crats.
Work Will Take Several Weeks. .
Democratic leaders realize that final
passage of the naval and Army appro
priation bills and the revenue and ship
ping measures alone will require four
or live weeks at least, and that if many
other measures are to be taken up the
Idea of an adjournment by September
l must be abandoned.
The House is expected to complete
the entire legislative programme sug
gested by President Wilson by passage
tomorrow of the Rucker corrupt prac
tices bill. When Majority Leader
KHchin took a report on the situation
to the White House today the Presi
dent said he had nothing further to
suggest. Several of the Administration
measures passed by the House are cer
tain not to be reached by the Senate.
Until the Senate is ready to adjourn
the House will mark time, holding per
functory daily sessions to receive con
ference reports.
SKXATE READY FOH NAVY BILL
Long Debate on Building Section Is
Thought Probable.
WASHINGTON, July 1. The Senate
today disposed of all the less important
Bection of the naval bill and cleared
the wey for beginning debate tomor
row on the enormously increased build
ing programme recommended by the
naval committee. Several days of dis
cussion are expected on the building
section, which provides for eight capi
tal ships in 1917 instead of the five
asked for by the House, and contem
plates completion of the Navy general
board's five-year programme within the
next three years.
So that the building debate might
begin as soon as the Senate meets to
morrow, the committee amendment em
bodying it was read before the ad
journment tonight. Senator Norris,
who is expected to lead the fight
against It, was on his feet ready to
begin his attack when leaders reached
an agreement to postpone discussion
until tomorrow because of .the small
number of Senators present.
Virtually all of the committee amend
ments considered today were adopted
without objection. One of them re
stores a provision, stricken out through
in error of the committee, for the ex
penditure of 11,000,000 in equipping the
Philadelphia Navy-yard for the con
struction of capital ships. Another in
structs the Secretaries of War and of
the Navy to recommend plans for im
proving harbors and connecting chan
nels generally along the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and the Gulf of Mexico.

HOOD RIVER, Or., July 14. (Spe
cial.) The delegation of Hood River
men who visited Portland yesterday to
confer with Multnomah County Com
missioners and Roadmaster J. B. Yeon,
returned home last night, expressing
indorsement of the plans for improve
ment of the Columbia River Highway.
"Multnomah County is doing every
thing possible to hurry completion of
the highway," said D. H. Drewery,
"and the work will have been com
pleted by August 10. We Hood River
men certainly appreciate the courtesies
shown us by Mr. Yeon and S. Benson.
It gave us great pleasure unofficially
to thank Mr. Benson -for his splendid
work of building a mile of road in our
county."
The Hood River delegation will en
deavor to get the authorities of Hood
River County to devote greater atten
tion to the improvement of the Co
lumbia River Highway in this county.
While it has been announced that
Mr. Benson would build a mile of road
in Hood River County, construction at
his expense may stretch a greater dis
tance, according to the local ' men.
"We have been assured," . said Mr.
Drewery, "that Mr. Benson is going
to build all the way around the bad
portion of the new road between Cas
cade Locks and the Multnomah County
line. Thus a good road for all the
year will be assured between Portland
and Hood River."

RACE ISSUE THREATENED
Necessity of Excluding Asiatics From
Ownership of Land Urged by
Californian Influx of Pic
ture Brides Feared. .
WASHINGTON, July 14. Senator
Works, of California, addressing the
Senate today on the Japanese problem
in America, declared that the issue
could be solved only by keeping the
Pacific Ocean between peoples of the
two nations.
Because of the essential racial dif
ferences, the .Senator asserted, there
could be no social tolerance of the
Japanese because that inevitably would
lead to race amalgamation, which was
unthinkable. He argued that the time
had come when the United States, as
an act of self-preservation, should de
clare by statute its purpose "not to
tolerate further race complications on
our soil, by preventing immigration of
all peoples not of the white race."
The California Senator declared that
relations between the United States and
Japan were friendly, but Insisted that
Japan's "gentlemen's agreement," did
not prevent Japanese from coming to
America.
Bar to Ownership Urged.
"Nor does it meet the necessity," he
added, "of excluding those who are
here, or others who may come, from
owning land in the states, a condition
that is most objectionable. Neither does
it meet the complication that is going
to result from the incoming of "picture
brides,' of which there are already
hundreds, perhaps thousands, in my
state.
"If we had long ago enacted laws
excluding everybody from the country
who were not eligible to become
citizens we would not have 70.000
Japanese in the United States. 55.000 of
whom are in California. We have tem
porized and compromised our rights,
which course has brought about the
present complications that may im
peril our friendly relations with the
Japanese nation.
Pacific Coast Not Prepared. '
"If war with Japan comes, what
then? Have we prepared for it? Shall
we be prepared for it if the proposed
programme of military and naval ex
pansion is carried out? No; not on
the Pacific Coast. To make the Pa
cific Coast states secure, we must have
two armies and two navies, one on each
of the sea coasts.
"I do not believe we are going to
have war with Japan, but those who
think so should see to it that the Pa
cific Coast, which must bear the brunt
of any fighting with that country, has
a sufficient portion of the increased
Army and Navy to protect It from at
tack." '

sharks. President Wilson and his
Cabinet discussed what could be done
to prevent more tragedies like those
which have occurred recently along the
New Jersey shore and the Coast Guard
and life saving services were ordered
to assist in shark extermination in
every way possible.
The bureau of fisheries issued a
formal statement advising widespread
fishing for sharks and warning bathers
to keep in shallow water, but admitting
Inability to advance a certainly effec
tive means of preventing further at
tacks. The statement asserted, how
ever, that there was no reason for
panic among seaside bathers.
The first effort of the Coast Guard
service will be to ascertain whether
few individuals or several schools of
the sea monsters are in northern
waters. A cutter will fish for the
sharks if their number is great, with
the aid of lifesaving corps.
Dr. Barton A. Dean, heard curatbr
of the fish division of the Smithsonian
Institution, Bald tonight that he thought
it possible the attacks upon bathers
may have been by sand sharks, which
are extremely aggressive, attain large
size and Inhabit northern waters. There
has been no authentic record, he de
clared, of sharks of the "tiger" or man
eating species ever having been found
north of Cape Hatteras.
MOBILE. Ala., July 14. Customs offi
cials here today received a message,
from Palmetto Beach near. Fort
Morgan, saying that the body "of a
man partly mangled by sharks has been
found there. It is believed he was
lost from one of the vessels wrecked
during the recent storm.
WILSON SCORNS OFFER
LEADERSHIP OF INDEPENDENTS IS
DECLINED.
Democratic Party Is Declared by Presi
dent to Be Most Progressive of
AH Organisations.
WASHINGTON, July 14. In reply to
a letter from J. C. Parker, a Philadel
phia magazine editor, asking if he
would accept the leadership of Pro
gressives of all parties, President Wil
son today wrote Mr. Parker that he
had no Jealousy of independent politi
cal organizations, but believed that
the Democratic party represented a
larger part of the progressive power
and thought of the country than any
other party..
The letter! says:
"I have read your letter of July
10 with a great deal of attention and
verji serious interest, and realize as
keenly as you do the anomalous condi
tion by which many of the progres
sive voters ' of the country are being
confused and misled, as well as the old,
inveterate attractions which seem to
control the choice of many of them
in matters political. In answer to the
questions contained in your" letter, I
will say that, for my part, I have "no
Jealousy . whatever of independent or
ganizations intended to keep the Inde
pendent voters of the-country reminded
of their obligations and fuTly informed
as to parties and of the conditions
under which their votes are being so
licited. (
"For myself, I sincerely desire and
have tried to deserve the support of
all progressive, forward-looking men.
I believe and think that . recent ex
perience has confirmed the belief that
the Democratic party represents a
larger part of the progaessive power
and thought of the country than any
other party, and that it can be made
the instrument and is being made the
Instrument of leadership in the direc
tion which all men who love justice
and progress must wish to take.
"It is for that reason that I am
proud to be Its nominee and to have the
opportunity to lead it."

Boy Scouts7 Executive Com
mittee Will Be Chosen.
LUNCHEON SET FOR TODAY
YV. V. Cotton, President, Other brfl
cent of Council and IT. D. Cross,
of National Body, Will Con
for Master Xext on List.
Eleven men. who will form the ex
ecutive committee of the local council
of the Boy Scouts of America, will be
chosen at a luncheon to be given at the
Benson Hotel at noon today. W. W.
Cotton, elected Thursday night presi
dent' of the local council, the other
officers of the council and H. D. Cross.
National field scout commissioner, have
arranged the meeting and will all be
present.
Mr. Cross said last night that, with
the organization that has so far been
effected and with the men who have so
far backed the local organization, Port
land should have one of the best organ
izations In the entire country. "It lies
with the executive committee to get
results," said Mr. Cross. "In that body
lies the most responsibility and, with
the selection of a good executive com
mittee, Portland should have at least
6000 boys enrolled in the next few
years. I know of no better field for
scout work any place In the United
States."
One of the first acts of the executive
committee and other officers of the
local council will be to select a scout
master. The local field is being scru
tinized' in the hope that a man with
fhe proper executive ability and other
qualifications may be discovered. A
number of applications have been re
ceived from various parts of the East.
"The selection of a scoutmaster is
most Important." said Mr. Cross. "When
the organization grows, the position
of scoutmaster becomes almost on a
par with the position held by the City
Superintendent of Schools. As high a
salary as $7500 a year is paid."
According to the plans which will
be followed by the Portland council,
a court of honor, consisting of five
members, will have charge of examina
tions and awarding of all badges and
official emblems. They will a!o have
charge of courses of instruction for
scoutmasters and appointment of exam
iners for merit badges.
Headquarters for the local council
will soon be established, where equip
ment necessary for the needs of the
field in handling correspondence, print
ed matter, calls. and conferences will
bo installed.
On of the most important as well as
most interesting of ihe activities of the
Boy Scouts will b. the establishment
of Summer :ar.ip. also -week-end
camps. The practical side of scout life
is found in the ?o-operation It lends in
cases of emergency. Mr. Coss has
cited many instances where tho tlrst
aid knowledge h.13 proved adequate in
case of fire, flood, p.tnic and all sorts
of accidents.
The co-operation Boy Scouts have of
fered in civic affairs, in maintaining
a high standard of attendance at pub
lic schools, in playground work and
other similar activity has given the
organfzatlon great strength.

SUMMER PALACE RORNS
KIN OF GREECE! ESCAPES IN All'9
FROM FOREST FIRE.
Monarch Near Death aa Result ot
Carelessness Of Vagabond ho Threw
Away Claarette Stubs.
PARIS. July 14. A wireless dispatch
from Athens today described the de
struction of the Summer palace of
King Constantine and the burning of
the Forest of Tatot. in which the palace
stood. The King, says the dispatch,
escaped in an automobile from a dan
gerous position where he was direct
ing the foresters fighting the fire which
had started in the woods. The motor
in which the King approached the
burning district had been surrounded
by flames, and he' darted on foot
through the dangerous zone and
reached an automobile, getting away in
safety.
Many persons were caught by the
names and perished, among them sev
eral army officers- The forest, which
was the largest in Greece, was entirely
burned over, the total loss from flames
exceeding 40.000.000 francs.
It is suspected that the lire started
from the carelessness of wandering
vagabonds in throwing cigarette stubs
Into dry brushwood.
The pavlltpn of Queen Mother Olga
and the palace of the Crown Prince
were also destroyed, and it is feared
the tomb of King George. King Con
stantine shed tears at the sight of the
devastation worked by the flames.
