Parliamentary Display on Part
r of Friend of Bill Causes
Delay in Senate.
DEFEAT IS FEARED NOW
Senator Ashurst Physically With
draws Iiand Measure, for Which
. Bill Is Set Aside, but Re
v tarns It to Clerk.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. A parlia
mentary display by one of Its friends
late today upset plans for an im
mediate vote on Senator Sheppard's
District of Columbia prohibition bill
and advocates of the measure were
obliged to agree that it ro over until
after the Christmas holidays for final)
action.. 1
The Senate agreed to a final vote on'
the measure January 9 after its op
ponents had been sustained by the
chair in contending that it lost its
place on the Senate calendar by the
action of Senator Ashurst in securing
unanimous consent to consider a land
bill.
Friends of the prohibition bill have
admitted a fear that postponement of
the vote until the Christmas recess
would imperil its chances of passage.
The opponents of the prohibition bill
were quick to take advantage of the
opportunity to contend that it had.
- been displaced before the Senate and
was supported, by a ruling from' the
chair.
Bill Wit&drawn Physically.
Senator Ashurst then sought to with
draw the land bill and did so physi
cally by stepping to the desk and put
tlng the document In his pocket.
Senator Reed, of Missouri, insisted
that such a method of withdrawing
bills was new in parliamentary pro
cedure. "If men are permitted to dispose of
legislation by physically applying
strong-arm methods and grabbing bills
out of the possession of the Senate."
said Senator Reed, 'legislative business
then will resolve itself to grabbing and
running. Under those circumstances
the man who can grab the most and
run the fastest would be the greatest
statesman. If we are proceeding under
Marquis of QueenBbury rules. It is time
we knew it. We may even descend to
packing-house rules, which I under
stand, permit using the thumbs and
even tne reiine method of scratching
with the finger nails."
Senator Ashurst declared he was not
disturbed by Mr. Reed's attack.
Missouri Senator Scored.
"The Senator from Missouri," he said,
"Is incapable of carrying out here or
elsewhere any thrust he makes against
ine.or against anyone else. He Is fond
of a Joke against anyone else, but when
It la on himself, he dances around like
a rat on a griddle trying to get off."
He declared that if Senator Reed
were fair about the prohibition bill he
Would allow it to come to a vote.
"The saloon lost out In Arizona and
elsewhere,'' he continued, "by-such tac
tics as these. It committed suleide
when it spread the slime of politics like
this on itself. -
"It 111 becomes the Senator from Mis
souri to use technical ideas and mo
tions against this bill."
As he concluded the Arizona Senator
walked slowly down the aisle, waving
the bill over his head and restored it to
the clerk's desk.
"The Indians of Oklahoma may suf
fer, but whisky will still reign in the
National Capital," said he.
The debate which followed took on
the nature of a filibuster.
POWERS ASKED FOR TERMS
(Continued From Page S. - -
injury be done civilization itself which
can never be atoned for or repaired.
"The President, therefore, feels al
together justified in suggesting an
immediate opportunity for a compari
son of views as to the terms which
must precede those ultimate arrange
ments for th peace of the world
which all desire and in which the neu
tral nations, as well as those at war,
are ready to play their full responsible
part. . If the contest must continue to
proceed towards undefined ends by
slow attrition until the one group of
belligerents or the other is exhausted,
if million after million of human lives
must continue to be offered up until
on the one side or the other there is
no more to offer, if resentments must
be kindled, that can never cool and
"-despairs engendered from which there
can be no recovery, hopes of peace
and of the willing concert of free peo
ples will ba rendered vain and idle.
Life of World Affected.
The life of the entire world has
been profoundly affected. Every part
of the great family of mankind has
felt the burden and terror of this un
precedented contest of arms. No na
tion in the civilized world can be said
in truth to stand outside its influence
or to be safe against its- disturbing
effects. And yet the concrete objects
for which it is being waged have never
been definitely stated.
"The leaders of the several belliger
ents have, as has been said, stated
those objects in general terms.' But,
stated in general terms, they seem the
same on both sides. Never yet have
the authoritative spokesmen of either
side avowed the precise objects which
would, if attained, satisfy them and
their people that the war had been
fought out. The world has been left
to conjecture what definitive results,
what actual exchange of guarantees,
what political or territorial changes or
readjustments, what stage of military
success even, would bring the war to
an end.
"It may be that peace is nearer than
we know; that the terms which the
belligerents on the one side and on
the other would deem it necessary to
insist upon are not so irreconciliable
as some have feared; that an inter
change of views would clear the way
at least for conference and make the
permanent concord of the nations a
thope of the immediate future a con
cert of nations immediately prac
ticable. "lha .President is not proposing
peace; he is not even offering media
tion He is merely proposing that
soundings be taken in order that we
may learn, the neutral nations with
the belligerent, how near the haven
of peace may be, for wnich all man
kind longs .with an intense and in
creasing longing. He believes that
the spirit in which he speaks and the
objects which he seeks will be under
stood by all concerned, and he con
fidently hopes :f or a response ' Which
will bring a new light into the affairs
of the world."
The note to the entente group will
be delivered to Great Britain, France,
Italy, Japan, Russia, Belgium, Monte
negro, Portugal, Roumania and Ser
bia. That to the central allies will be
delivered " to Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Turkey and Bulgaria.
It is being delivered to all neutral
governments for their information.
MEDICAL BODY ELECTS
DR. J. St SHORT CHOSEN PRESI
DENT OF" SOCIETY.
Dr. George Whiteside Declares Chief
Purpose of Profession la to Heal
said Not to Get Money.
Great interest was aroused among
members of the local medical profes
sion last night at the annual meeting
of the City and- County Medical Society,
at German House, Thirteenth and Mill
streets. The election "of officers, over
which considerable excitement was de
veloped, resulted with the choice of Dr.
J. M. Short for president.
Other officers were selected amidst
the same excitement, several ballots
being necessary for the decision of the
close races. Those finally chosen are
as follows: Dr. C. J. McCusker, vice
president; Dr. J. Guy Strohm, secre
tary, re-elected; Dr. Katherine C. Man
ion, treasurer; council, Drs. David N.
Roberg, Ralph Fenton, Mary McLaugh
lin, H. M. Greene and C. C. Moore.
Delegates were chosen to represent
the society at the meeting of the Ore
gon State Medical Society as follows:
Drs. J. Chris O'Ds.y, A. C. Smith, Will
iam S. Knox, W. B. Holden. L. H. Ham
ilton, Eugene Hockey, Ernst A. Som
mer, H. Mount and E. McDanieL
The general policy which the medical
society had pursued for the past year
was reviewed by Dr. George White
side, the retiring president of the or
ganization. "Since its organization a
number of years ago," said Dr. White
side, "the medical society has estab
lished the paths In which all physicians
should walk. The foremost purpose of
our profession is to heal, and money
matters should be of secondary consid
eration. Those physicians" who con
cern themselves more over tbeir fees
are doing harm to three classes of In
dividuals: First, they are harming
themselves; second, they injure their
brother physicians, and third, they
menace the welfare of their patients."
Dr. Whiteside warned physicians
against the temptation to perform un
necessary operations. In mentioning
the class of surgeons who sometimes
perform operations for experiments, or
merely for the sake of fees, he recom
mended that all organs removed from
patients in hospitals should be turned
over to the professor of pathology of a
medloal school, who should see that It
had not been removed unnecessarily.
"I hope to see a time when hospitals
will refuse to take the patients from
this class of doctors," he said, In re
ferring to those who are known to per
form operations unnecessarily.
NEW LAWS CONSIDERED
CREDIT MEX ADVOCATE LEGISLA
TION AGAINST BAD CHECKS.
Association Also Decides Not to Com
promise Case of Business Fallne
Without Examination.
A resolution that members of the
Portland Association of Credit Men
would not individually or collectively
compromise a case of business failure
unless the case was first examined by
a credit men's committee and found to
be free of fraud, was adopted last night
by the association at its meeting at
Hotel Benson. The resolution was
signed by a number of members of
the association and It is expected the
sentiment will be upheld unanimously
or practically so.
The association took up proposed
legislation, particularly as it will have
to do with a bad check law, which Ore
gon at present does not have: a law
against the making of false statements;
a homestead and exemption law and the
fire marshal law, and urged favorable
action by the Legislature on the
measures now proposed.

SPYING ONLY TASK,
SAYS BOPFS AIDE
Agents of German Consulate
Not Paid to Dynamite,
Declares Witness.
SMITH'S STORY ATTACKED
Informer Declared by Counsel for
Defense to Have Told Relatives
He Would Make $20,000 by
Tale of Conspiracies.
BAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 20. E. H. von
Schack, vice-consul of the German con
sulate, who with Consul-General Frana
Bopp is one of the group of defendants
In the Government's conspiracy suit
over the blowing up of entente muni
tions shipments, took the stand in nis
own behalf today. Mr. von Schack tes
tified that the German consulate had
employed C C Crowley, another of the
seven defendants, to investigate alleged
Japanese and Canadian military activi
ties In California and of the alleged
building of submarines for the allies
at the Union Iron Works here and the
shipments of munitions.
'That 1b all we employed Crowley
for,'- he declared. "He had no instruc
tions! whatever to dynamite trains,
ships or tunnels in the Puget Sound
region, in Canada or anywhere else."
On the basis of Crowley s reports.
indicating violations of neutrality in
America by the Canadians and the
Japanese we made representations to
the German Ambassador at Washing
ton," Von Schack said. "These resulted
In protests lodged with the State De
partment. Crowley discovered for us that many
Japanese, using powerful field glasses.
were patrolling the California coast in
the first year of the war on the lookout
for German warships. Their informa
tion was sent to the Japanese warships,
particularly the cruiser Idzumo, by
portable wireless stations installed in
automobiles.
Activities Are Defended.
The reported building of submarines
for our enemies, and the recruiting
campaign waged in San Francisco by
Canada, were also Inquired into by
Crowley as our confidential man. His
activities were all legitimate."
The references to the alleged Japanese
and Canadian activities, as well as the
alleged submarine building, were in
troduced after a heated controversy be
tween Chief Counsel Roche and United
States District Attorney John W. Pres
ton. Consul-General Frans Bopp Is ex
pected to take the stand tomorrow.
Because the uerman consulate nere
employed spies and not dynamiters.
Mr. Roche declared that the Govern
ment's case for alleged, dynamite con
spiracies falls down.
Mr. Roche declared in his opening state
ment, that he was prepared to prove
that the Union Iron Works, of San
Francisco, built submarines here dur
ing 1915 for the entente allies and
shipped the parts to Canada for as
sembling.
He declared British war vessels had
transferred Japanese from San Fran
cisco, placing them aboard Japanese
warships cruising In the Pacific.
All Important objections made by the
defense to continuance of the trial on
the ground that the Government had
not made out a prima facie case were
swept aside by Judge William H.
Hunt.
In outlining his defense Mr. Roche
added that C. C. Crowley. Levis L.
Smith, J. H. Van Koolbergen and Mrs.
Margaret Cornell, consulate spies, were
supposed to keep tab also on entente
munition shipments. It is on Smith's
story of attempted dynamitings that
the Government relies mainly.
Splea Hired by Von Schack.
As for Mr. Bopp, Mr. Roche said he
was in Europe until March 15 and that
Von Schack hired the spies. Von
Brincken, Mr. Roche said, volunteered
his services to the consulate.
Smith, having turned Government in
former, told of trips he and Crowley
made to Tacoma and Seattle where a
dynamite barge was exploded on the
night of May 30, 181, and of later
rips to Chicago, Detroit, Canadian
Joints and New York. Mr. Roche said
of these:
"We will prove that Crowley was en
gaged in following the shipments of
American-built submarines across Can
ada to Montreal and that he went to
New York to report to Captain Franz
von Papen."
Captain Von Papen was at that time
military at lax lie to the German Em
bassy. .
ChleC Counsel Takes Stand.
Crowley's trips to the Northwest. Mr.
Roche said, were simply to gel infor
mation on the sailing of munition ships
for Russia,
"I will also prove," said Mr. Roche,
that Crowley was in Tacoma the night
the barge exploded in Seattle." and the
chief coun-el took the stand himself to
establish the alibi.
That Smith told his family In Wheel-
Ins. W. Va he expected to make $20,-
00u by revealing the alleged conspira
cies was also cuatgea byMr. ttocne,
who added that $u0 was paid Smitn
bv the German Consulate on Crowley's
advice, to avoid threatened notoriety.
Smith testified that be had received
$1254 for his pay as an alleged dyna
miter. Vice-Consul von Schack declared he
was ordered by the German govern
ment to get information as to the ship
ment of munitions and other activities
of the entente allies on the Pacific
Coast. He hired Crowley, Smith and
others, he said, to spy out the informa
tion. Written Orders Admitted.
"Were those written orders?" asked
United states District Attorney Pres
ton. "They were." replied Von Schack.
"Let me see them," demanded Pres
ton. - Von Schack was about to comply,
evidently, when Roche objected that
such a demand was in violation of
German-American treaty rights cov
ering the inviolability of government
documents.
In his testimony, which went to show
that Crowley was simply a spy. Von
Schack told how Crowley, discovered
Japanese roaming up and down the
California coast with spy glasses look
ing for German warships and carrying
with them automobile wireless stations
to relay their information.
Von SchaCK said a protect was made
at the time" to Rear-Admiral Charles
F. Pond, then supervisor of the Twelfth
Naval District, and another letter of
protest was sent to the State Depart
ment. That was all in 1915.
According to Von Schack, Crowley
discovered that the Japanese cruiser
Idzumo was cruising along the Cali
fornia coast and would reia to Brit
ish wireless stations in Canada infor
mation sent from the portable Japanese
stations along the coast.
Von Schack denied at every point
that Crowley or anyone else had been
hired to dynamite.
Man and Wife Fined $450.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Harris, arrested
at Second and Burnside streets Decem
ber 6 on a charge of violating the pro
hibition law. were convicted and fined
last nighf In the Municipal Court. Mr.
Harris was assessed 1250 and his wife
$200.
SCOUTS HEAR BIRD LECTURE
Biologist Finley Addresses Boys on
Preservation of Life.
Library Hall was packed with Boy
Scouts last "night to hear William L.
Finley. State Biologist, explain the
preservation of bird life. "The Home
Life of the Birds" was illustrated with
pictures from some of the picturesque
spots of Oregon during the mating sea
son. The lecturer told how a beginner
might find interest In outdoor life.
The building of nests for birds, which
has been encouraged in the schools,
was "explained. Pictures taken near
Portland of singing birds were Includ
ed in the film.
"The Boy Scouts should, cultivate a
knowledge of all bird life," said Mr.
Finley. "And first of all It is his duty
and pleasure to learn of the birds in
Portland and throughout Oregon. The
bird life on the Pacific Coast is abun
dant. We hear much of the great colo
nies of birds in Alaska, but they are
not so notable as in our own state."
The lecture was given under the aus
pices of the Reed, College Extension
Department.

While the physician expressed hope
that her memory may become clearer.
he was not at all certain but the de

LONDON LIKELY TO REPLY
( Continued From First Page.)
has been received there from Berlin
that Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the
German Imperial Chancellor, in a se
cret conference with the party leaders
preceding his announcement of Ger
many's peace offer in the Reichstag,
was given full powers to conduct peace
negotiations without further consulta
tion even with the party leaders.
"The Chancellor," says the dispatch,
"refused polntblank to give the leaders
any detailed particulars of his peace
terms,-although he stated bluntly that
these terms would not take any con
sideration of the various expressed
wishes of- the numerous parties within
the empire. When the leaders objected
to 'granting the Chancellor's demands
for full powers to negotiate. Dr. Bethmann-Hollweg
countered with the
statement that he would resign forth
with unless his demands were met.
Resignation Threat Wine.
"After a long argument the leaders
voted the powers the Chancellor
wished, explaining later to followers
that they were compelled to do this
owing to the fear that if Dr. von Beth
mann-Hollweg resigned ne would be
succeeded by Admiral von Tirplta,"
An Amsterdam dispatch quotes the
Cologne Gazette as saying:
"The language of the British Prime
Minister must not be taken too seri
ously. We are taught this by some
reflections on English peace conclu
sions in the past, such as that In which
she lost the United States and peace
of .Amiens in 1802. There Is a limit
where the blindest obstinacy finds it
self confronted with tne impossible.
and this limit is being brought nearer
and nearer by our submarines. Another
possible contingency compelling Eng
land to make peace would be the se
cession of one of her allies."
Compulsory I'ae of Labor Poaalble.
The most Important of tne points in
the domestic policy of the new govern
ment foreshadowed by the Premier was
the general mobilization of labor for
war and the vital industries. Mr. Lloyd
George indicated he meant to begin
with a voluntary plan, and that it thla
failed he would ask Parliament to give
the government compulsory powers to
place all the labor of the state aX its
service. His proposal therefore fol
lows somewhat on the line of the Ger
man mass levy.
When Mr. Lloyd George invited the
laoor representatives to join this
cabinet, this scheme was put before
them, but they deferred judgment un
til details were given.
Support of Workmen Needed.
While expressing the opinion that.
after compulsory military service. In
dustrial conscription is not impractl
cable, the labor leaders are dubious
as to its success, feeling the outcome
depends entirely on how the workmen
take it. If there Is hostility in the
rank and file of organized labor the
scheme, they believe, will fall.
The task allotted to Neville Cham
berlaln, who has been appointed di
rector-general of national service, of
scheduling certain industries as India
pensable and supplying them with the
necessary labor nd material and at
the same time putting the indlspens
able industries on fixed allowances of
labor, raw material and man power. Is
considered a stupendous one. but Mr.
Chamberlain's great experience In busi
ness Is expected to carry him through.
He will have a military director un
der him to conduct recruiting for the
army and a civil director in charge of
recruiting for industry.

Hawley Company Announces
Second Big Addition.
$40,000 TRACT BOUGHT
Oregon City Council Is Asked for
Vacation of Street and Dozen
Buildings Are to Be Hazed
to Make Room for Plant.
OREGON" CITT. Or.. Dec. 20. (Spe-
citL) It became known tonight that
the Hawley Pulp & Paper Compan
will begin toon the construction of a
second additional unit to Ha mill here.
when the company, through C. D. and
D. C. Latourette. Its attorneys, ap
peared in a Council meeting tonight
and asked for the vacation of Fourth
street from. Main to the Southern Pa
cific tracks, part of the site of the
new plant. The Council unanimously
passed on first reading the ordinance
vacating the street.
The paper company today acquired
the half block bounded by Main street,
the Southern .Pacific, Fourth street and
an alley, from James Tracy for 1 10.000.
The new buildings will extend from
Third to the alley between Fourth and
Fifth streets, almost 100 feet on Main
Street.
The new mill will probably contain
another large paper machine and other
necessary equipment, such as beaters
and finishing equipment. Reinforced
concrete will probably be used in Its
construction.
The company Is now completing a
$760,000 addition to Us plant two big
buildings, one along Main street and
the other on the Island, near Mill A.
W. P. Hawley, Sr., announced several
months ago that he intended to build
ultimately a mill which would employ
1000.
Two hundred more men will be em
ployed In the plant which will be com
pleted next month and this second ad
ditional unit will probably add another
200 men to the payroll, bringing the
total number of hands In the company's
mill up to 800, and the number of men
employed In the paper industry at the
falls of the Willamette to 1700.
The Council expressed Its desire to do
anything to aid In the upbuilding of
industries here. A large part or tne
property on which the new mill will
stand now is vacant, but a dozen ouna-
lngs must be torn down or moved to
make room for It. The freight shed of
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company, etanding on the corner or
Third and Main streets. Is probably the
largest structure on the property. The
Old Armory, used now as a storehouse
by the paper company, stands on the
site.
