M. Booth, who was Quoted by the affi davits as having said he had brought pressure to bear on the Embassy and the State Department through a Wash ington attorney. Booth denies the charges, saying the statements are false and absurd. He has been subDenaed to appear before the Senate or a Senate committee "Wednesday. He has admitted that he transmitted the substance of the antl alien bill to Washington. "I took a hand in the case." he said, "because I felt that the clause requir ing all aliens to sell their holdings within seven years was confiscatory. It Included all aliens.' Booth also said: "Certain sinister Influences are at work to embroil the United States with Jaoan over the Idaho anti-alien land lawl n order to dlstrcat attention from the submarine issue with Germany."

Brady produc tion such as "Bought and Paid For," "Th. Flise of Susan" and others, comes the news that a contract has been signed for the new Artcraft Produc tions featuring Mary Pickford. This Is one of the "biggest" bits of local film news In months, as Portland film dom has been in a turmoil for a num ber of weeks regarding the house which would show the Pickford pro ductions. "We are glad to make the announce ment," the managotoent of the Peo ples Theater said yesterday, "and glad inai nine Mary is coming Dack to her old home. It was In our theater that Mary Pickford's thousands of friends In Portland grew to know her and love her, and we are glad to be able to present her again, espe2ially in view of the extraordinary merit of her next productions. Price was not a con- lderation. It is probable that the 1 amount involved in the Pickford con tract was the largest ever expended In photoplay rental in Portland, but ur thousands of friends wanted Mary back in her old home and we refused to let price stand in the way of having her there." The new contract provides for the showing of the Pickford productions In the Peoples Theater and return engage ments of the pictures, if there seems to be a demand for them, will be shown at the Star. "Little Mary" has just completed her latest Artcraft produc tion. "The Poor Little Rich Girl." in which for the first time in over a year she returns to the kind of roles which made her fame and fortune. "The Poor Little Rich Girl." as almost everyone knows, is from the novel by Eleanor Gates, and reports from the Eastern studios say it is one of the most pretentious and. pleasing offerings in which "America s sweetheart ever appeared.! Miss Pickford has just left for the Artcraft studios in Los An- irales. where she will begin work at ohm on "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." whioh will follow "The Poor Little Rich GirL" It is said that she will also appear soon in "Per O My Hurt" Th.

Noah Webster says a "vampire" Is fabulous ghostly being that sucks th blood of the living when they are sleeping," whioh seems in present-day experience to be a pretty accurate de scrlption of the gas meter. Kipling said a vampire was "a rag and a bone and a bank o" hair." which is a very unkind way to describe a erfect lady. The motion-picture au diences recognize one by a face painted ghastly white, lips very red and a pair of bad,- murky, dark, dank and des perate eyes. Screen Gossip.

Resolution Adopted by House Ask ing for Hearing by Federal Board When Argument Can Be Presented Carries. STATE CAPITOL, Olympia, Wash., Feb. 19. (SpeciaL)Although pressing toward the close of the session, th Senate today devoted considerable time on a crowded calendar to debating whether to adopt a resolution already adopted by the House petitioning the National Georgarphlc Board to change the name of Mount Rainier. Tacoma as a better name is not mentioned, tne sense of the resolution being ot gain a hearing whereat argumentsln favor of Tacoma by Tacoma advocates as a more suitable name may be had. Senator Nichols, of King, led the opposition to any change of name, but the Senate finally adopted the House resolution by a large majority. Considerable emphasis In the oppo sition argument was laid on the fact that final approval by the geographic board comes under the Interior Depart ment, the head of which is Franklin K. Lane who, as a Tacoma newspaper man years ago. started the agitation to name the mountain Tacoma. As the matter goes the Legislature of Washington has petitioned the Federal board at Wash ington. D. C, to chnage the name from Rainier to one more suitable. State Board Attacked. ' At the hands of Senator Nichols and others, the state board of control was under fire for a part of the1 afternoon in consideration of a bill appropriat ing (4584 for payment of outstanding claims Incurred in construction of the School for Blind at Vancouver. Extra Indebtedness was Incurred on the building by reasdn of failure of the contractor to fulfill the contract within the terms, which limited con structlon expenditure to $76,000. The bill as finally passed is drawn to ap propriate the extra amount and make the contractor's bondsmen liable to the state for the excess payment if it is Dosslble to collect.

One of these provides for universal physical training in common high schools, as an accom paniment to the bill for military train ing in high schools. Which the House has already passed. v In signing the bone dry bill, the Gov ernor expressed hope there would be no referendum attempted, and satd that no oreanized force existed to push it ex cept outside liquor interests shipping Into the state, and these lay agents were liable for felony If they spent money to procure referendum sig natures.

Bills Would Be Limited Except Those Presented fcy Ware and Means Committees. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 19. (Special.) Members of the Legisla ture think they are getting only half enough money for their services. So they are going to let the people vote on the question of raising their pay from S3 a day to $6 a day, and to grant them $6 for every 20 miles that they travel In the "most usual" route between their nomes and Salem. A member from Lake County, for in stance, would travel via Bend, then Sacramento, a distance of about 1500 miles. Figure out for yourself what he would get. The resolution has some compensate lncr attractive features, though. No member or the legislature couia introduce more than five bills at a ses sion, either personally or Jointly with another member. Ho more than 60 bills could be introduced by the com mittees of the House, and no more than S0Ty the committees of the Sen ate. This would not apply to the ways and means committees, however.

Here's one more question for the people to ponder over at the general election In November. 1918 : Shall the state spend $200. 00U to build a home for delinquent ana de pendent children?" The House today passed me eenaio judiciary committee bill submitting this proposition to mo people, ii mo people authorize the expenditure the home is to be built somewhere within the city of Portland. The institution Is to be under control of the tstate Board of Control. The .home is to be a refuge for all dependent, delinquent and defective children" such as are aoeommodated in the various private and seotarlan In stitutions.

The idea is that the latter bill will not become effective unless the people psss the appropriation bill. Thus does the Legislature dispose or one of the knottiest Knots mat me boys had to wrestle with at this ses sion.
