EARLY PASSAGE PREDICTED Measure Aims to Prevent Lavish Expenditures in Campaigns. Resolution for Inquiry Held TJ, for Time at Least. WASHINGTON1. Dec 6. Fith Sena tor Owen announcing promises of sup port from Republicans, the Senate to day settled down to consideration of the Owen corrupt practices bill to limit expenditures of money in Congression al and Presidential elections, and lead pn on both sides Dredicted that the measure -would be passed before ad journment. Senator Owen said he would with hold, for the present at least, his reso lution to direct a special investiga tion in campaign expenditures of all political parties in the recent National election because of the assurances from Republican Senators that- they would aid in good faith to effect the passage of a measure that would pre vent lavish expenditures of money and remove opportunity for corruption in future camDaigns. Several amendments were offered during the day, among them one by Senator Kenyon to penalize election betting by a fine of $500 for each of fense. Senator "Works proposed an amendment which would limit individ ual contributions to a campaign fund to $100, to be paid only to recognized political committees. Senator Sherman, Republican, oo jected to limiting campaign expendi tures in behalf of a Senatorial candi date to $5000. declaring the language of the bill was not clear whether this referred to both primaries and elec tions or would allow a total for both of $10,000. The Illinois Senator also contended it was unfair to make the rame standard for states small in ter ritory or population as Nevada, Ari zona or Delaware and for such large states as New Tork, Pennsylvania and Illinois where conditions were vastly different. He referred only incidentally to the November election, -remarking: "I do not believe the sums spent by either the Republicans or Demo cratic party in the 1916 campaign ever will be known.

The Roumanians left the bridges across the stream to the north of the city Intact. The advance of the Teutonic forces in Western Roumanla has been so rap id that the military staffs have been forced to change their bases at inter vals of only a few days to keep up with the troops and to lay plans for settling in towns not yet captured. A trip of 1000 miles by automobile In this region, just completed by The As sociated Press correspondent, snowed how difficult it is to move as quickly as the Invading- forces. wlth.?n thTunaVlan1 fr'onUer?''' wtth Craiova as the first objective. Before the Transylvanian Passes had been traversed Craiova 'had been captured. Bombardment of Slavina began the day after Craiova was reached. This bom bardment was watched for a time from Piatra, across the Alt River from Sla vlna. The Germans believed the Rouma nians would be able to hold for some time the almost impregnable heights along the river and the correspondent left to watch other features of the ad vance, but it was necessary to return at top speed to reach Slavina 24 hours after Its evacuation and 48 hours after witnessing the cannonading. The next objective was Karakulu. but it had fallen, together with Slavina, by the time the correspondent could arrive and even the headquarters troops were moving.

The advance, which often has aver aged 20 or more miles a day. has been possible mainly lor two reasons. First is the seeming demoralizations and lack of leadership of the Roumanians, evi denced by the capture of entire staffs and large-sized units, with many guns and much material, by insignificant German detachments which often amounted only to cavalry patrols. Second is the amazing offensive speed of the Germans, which was indicated I by the fact that the correspondent fre- Iquently met close bemna the front. rest and Ploechtl, announced in the German official communication tonight, has not been confirmed, but the posi tion revealed by the previous German and Russian communiques left little hope that the Roumanian capital could be saved. The rapidity of the advance of the central powers seems to show that no attempt was made to defend the capital and the actions fought have probably been only or a delaying nature. The fall of - Ploechti, perhaps, is of even greater Importance than that of Bucharest. Ploechtl is a railway June tion and the center of the great oil dis trict of the Prahova Valley. Unless the Roumanians have been able to destroy or disable the oil wells, machinery and stores of oil, the Germans will get a muc.-needed prize. Moreover, In the Prahova Valley they are on the line of retreat of a portion of the Roumanian second army. It is believed that the Roumanians will be compelled to retire until they can secure a shorter line between the Carpathians and the Lower Danube, which will be within easier reach of Russian reinforcements. Progress of the War. BUCHAREST is in the hands of the forces of the central powers. Ex actly 100 days after the declaration of war by Roumanla against them finds the Teutonic allies in control of about 50,000 square miles of Roumanian ter ritory virtually one-half of the ktng- aom running from the Transylvanian Alps northwest of the capital to the Danube south of It, and a large part of Dobrudja. bimultaneously with the announce ment of the fall of Bucharest came the news of the capture of Ploetchi, north of the capital, the conquest of which., places in the hands of the in vaders the last railroad in the west and gives to them the head of the line running northward to Jarsy, where the capital of Roumanla is now situ ated. No details have yet come through concerning the climax to the great drive of the armies of General von r alkenhayn and Field Marshal von Mackensen, or whether the Roumanians and Russians escaped successfully be hind the Bucharest line. Unofficial advices had Indicated that four divt sions of the defenders were in a hazard ous position west of Bucharest and In danger of being enveloped. with the fall of Buchare. the cen tral powers are now in. possession of four capitals of entente allied states, the - others being Brussels, Belgrade and Cettlnje. In the Carpathian region near the Bukowina frontier and along the Mol davia front the Russian offensive ap parently is meeting with little suc cess. West of Jablonitza the Russians occupied a height, but later were shelled off the position by the Germans. To the south they penetrated to the second line of the German defenses in the Trotus Valley, but here were held from further advance. North of the Oltuz Pass and southeast of Kedzl Varsahely the Austro-Germans took positions from the Russians. Additional fortified heights northeast of Budimirtsa, in Serbia, have been captured by the Serbs from the Bui garians and Germans, according to Salontki. while the Bulgarians are re ported by Berlin to have exploded the Serbs from positions near oraaesnnuza, A heavy bombardment is In progress north of Monastir. Tho Germans have again essayed somawhat intense attack In the Verdun sector, east of the famous Hill 304 near Avocourt According to Paris, the attack was partly successful, the Ger mans gaining a footing in some of the advanced French trenches. In the Austro-Itallan and Russian theaters the big guns are still doing the greater portion of the work. The Russians have shelled the Narayuvka region in Galicia. German submarines have bombarded Funchal, Madeira, and sunk there the French gunboat Surprise and a British and a French steamer. Thlrty-fou members of the crew of the gunboat perished.

Ellen Ralston, was released yesterday morning afterJudere McGinn had approved an appeal bond suDmitted by his attorney, Seneca t outs. . When Judge McGinn sent Ralston to jail he exclaimed dramatically "He'll stay there till he rots!" he declared fur ther at the time that he would be in office until January 1. and that if he had any influence with his successor, he would get him to keep Ralstou in prison inaeiinltely. At 2 o'clock yesterday, after Mr. Fouts had presented the approved ap peal Dond to the Sheriff and had ob tained Ralston's release on it, the at torney appeared before Judge McGinn to settle the bill of exceptions. Judge McGinn apparently did not know that Ralston was already out of Jail. "Well. Ralston ought to stay in Jail he remarked when the lawyer asked him what would be the effect if the appeal bond previously approved should effect Ralston s release. "Leave him in," added the judge as an after thought. He set the hearing in the bill of exceptions lor 2 o clock today.

STATE AID IS DOUBTED SIX PER CE7CT LI5IITATIOX GARDED AS BAR. RE. Little Sentiment Is Favorable to Legis lative Aid for Irrigation Projects, Says State Enlneer Lcnis. SALEM, Or., Dec. 6. (Special.) Any visions that may have been in view for developing sentiment favorable to state aid for irrigation projects at the com ing Oregon Irrigaion Congress to be held in Portland have been effectively dissipated by the passage of the 6 per cent limitation amendment, according to State Engineer Lewis. It is understood there nas been talk of urging further state aid through the coming Legislature at the congress, which convenes soon. He says there is slight demand for irrigated lands and 'that the province of his office Is being fulfilled in mak ing investigations and examinations oi streams which will be useful when such demand Is revived. He expects the revival, however, in not less than five years. "When the time comes for handling projects of any great "moment again," he said, "they probably will be financed by the rural credit fund. "In the meantime I am satisfied that state aid for irriation projects is not to h thoueht of. In the first place I am satisfied that the Legislature, at that time, would offer no such aid, and In the second place such aid can not be forthcoming under the lim itation imposed."

Commander Suddenly Exposes Army to Destruction in Last Desperate Effort to Save City. PITESHTI, Roumanla. Dec. via Berlin and wireless to the Associated Press, via Sayviile. N. Y.. Dec 6. In another desperate attempt to ward oft the attack on Bucharest, the Rouma nians yesterday executed another seem ingly impossible strategic move. Their army, which had been facing troops ad vancing upon Bucharest from the southwest and west, was suddenly turned squarely toward "the Danube army" In the south, thus exposing themselves to a disastrous flank at tack. The Roumanian army, which had. been retreating from the northwest, suddenly stopped and began an attack in a direction nearly northward, thus exposing itself to an attack in the rear by German troops marching due east ward. The result was that another Rou manian army numbering about four divisions was left in a kind of cul-de-sac almost due west of Bucharest, be tween two German forces and threat ened from behind by a third. The maneuver was a surprise to the Ger mans because it apparently rendered the position of all three Roumanian armies utterly untenable for any length of time and laid them all open to de- . struction. The new move was regarded by the Germans as an indication that the Rou manians intended to defend Bucharest by an offensive movement, and as de noting either their obvious disorgani zation or that the supreme Roumanian command had mude an error. The move not only was not expected to ar rest the advance on Bucharest, but rather to aid it. It was expected that the three Roumanian armies, as a re sult of this move, would be eliminated and would not have to be reckoned with, as would have been the case if they had continued their retreat.
