BITTER FIGHT IS WAGED Ilenry Leads Wet Forces In Vain At tempt to Block Action, Sbnt at Last Vote Is Taken With Result Of 237 to 1S7. WASHINGTON. Feb. JS. Prohibition won a' double victory in Congress to night, when the House passed by a vote of 237 to 137 the Senate bil. to make the National capital dry and Senate and House conferees on the postal appropri ation bill unexpectedly announced an agreement under which the Reed "bone dry" amendment Is virtually assured of 'enactment. Hope of agreeing on the postal supply measure had been abandoned by the conferees, who last night submitted a resolution to continue existing postal appropriations for another year. Tonight, however, they got together on a report which includes the Reed amendment, prohibiting shipment of liquor into prohibition, states, and which they expect to present in both houses tomorrow or Friday. The lead ers thought tonight there was no doubt of its acceptance in Senate and House. They are taking it for granted, too. that President Wilson will approve both that and the District of Columbia prohibition bill. The District bill, which would become effective November 1, was brought to a vote after a stubborn opposition had delayed for several hours the final rollcall which the leaders knew would mean passage. Every Expedient Exhausted. All day until late in the evening they stood by their guns, exhausting every parliamenatry expedient to ward off action and watching for an opportunity to put the measure into a position that would mean its failure with the expira tion of the session Sunday. Failing to displace the bill or to force an adjournment, the filibusters centered their attention on an effort to add amendments that would throw it into conference and prevent enact ment at this session. They made their last stand on an amendment that would have given the people of the district a referendum on the proposal and would havi put into the measure a provision prohibiting importation of liquor for personal use. This was voted down X71 to 233. Various other amendments were rejected by similar majorities. The debate on the measure had been limited by the drastic rule under which It had been brought up so that the usual dramatic features of filibustering strategy were replaced by long rollcalls forced by the opposition on repeated motions to adjourn, points of no quorum, amendments and motions to give some other bill the right of way. After several hours the prohibition champions despaired of passing at all the House bill reported from the Dis trict of Columbia committee with num erous amendments and adopted a spe cial rule substituting the Senate bill. Chairman Henry, of the rules com mittee, led the fight for the "wets." a member for 20 years and the vet eran of. many floor battles, he went into the fight today representing only a small minority of his committee. He succeeded in keeping the bill from coming up on the floor until after noon by filibustering on a minor Judgeship measure. Efforts to Beat BUI Fall. He had a handful of other bills ready to bring up, when Representaive Har rison, another member of the rules committee, took the floor from him in behalf of the rule under which the dry bill framed by the district committee was to be considered. Mr. Henry protested that undue haste should not be exercised in perfecting such an important measure and Mr. Harrison replied: "We are willing to sit here with you gentlemen until the fourth of March, If necessary. In order to perfect this bill." PRISON CHANGES ADVISED Thomas Mott Osborne Reports on System in "avy. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Radical changes in methods of dealing with prisoners in the Navy are recom mended in a report submitted to Sec retary Daniels today by Thomas Mott Osborne, ex-warden of Sing Sing, who recently served a term as a voluntary prisoner in the naval prison and de tention ship at Portsmouth. Details of the report were not made public Secretary Daniels believes the pres ent regulations can be modified along the lines suggested, though he holds that minor modifications already made have created a better feeling of com radeship and friendliness among the enlisted personnel, reflected in the In creasing number of re-enlistments. Mr. Osborne's report will be com pared with others' the Secretary has received, and from them a revised code dealing with the question of naval im prisonment and fines will be written. Meanwhile the reports will be held in confidence. NEPHEWS WIN WAR HONORS Robert Livingstone Rears of Medals Given Kin lor Bravery. Robert Livingstone, "of Portland, whose home Is In Paisley.

Failure to Vote Always With Ills Party Defended Messra.Lodge and Kenyon Reply With Tributes. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. Legislative and international problems were lald aside by the Senate today for a time to listen to a valedictory address by Sena tor Martine. of New Jersey, who retires March 4, after six years' service. The Senator paid his respects to political opponents and answered criticisms that he did not always vote with his party by declaring that he had always voted his convictions. "It has been said in published state ments that I was a sheer accident, a joke, a mountebank, a buffoon and a disgrace to this body, he shouted, striding up and down the center aisle. But no man ever said I was a moral coward, a pretender; that is my answer to these villainous and cowardly at tacks." ' Senator Martine said he believed tn direct elections of Senators, had sought to establish such procedure, and now bowed to the people's flat at such an election. He added that be had found the Senate wonderfully human and knew of "no place so well calculated to take out a man's egotism." Senators Lodge and Kesyon replied. assuring the New Jersey Senator that he would leave with the well wishes and affectionate regard of all members. "Every man of this body feels a per sonal loss In the departure of the Senator from New Jersey," said Senator Kenyon. "The most needful thing In publio life today is courage some times I think the rarest. He has it in abund ance. No one ever saw him flinch in performance of a public duty.

DEALS ARE MADE IN VAIN Attorneys in Legislature Are Much at Sea and Members of Bar Out side Are Urging Stand Pat on Control of Business. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Feb. t8. (Special.) Several days of almost continual and altogether earnest, conference between banking representatives from all over the state and lawyer members of the Legislature have resulted In a tentative compromise agreement on the new pro bate code, which attorneys In the Senate had amended to prevent trust com panies from acting in administrative capacity for estates. The bill is now In the House where it Is understood the attorneys had or ganized sufficient strength to pass it, but the protest aroused when the Im port of the trust company provision be came generally known, together with almost positive assurance that the Gov ernor would veto the anti-trust sec tion. Is believed to have demoralized the legal lineup to the extent of ac cepting today's compromise. Advertising Not Permitted. As now drawn, the latter permits trust companies to continue in fiduciary capacities on condition that they do not advertise for nor solicit such business, especially in the matter of offering to draw wills, without charge and to per form benevolently other functions lor merly controlled by lawyers. On their part the trust companies agree to adopt the legal code of ethics against advertising, specimens of which have been exhibited accusingly in the Legislature by lawyers in support of their arguments that true Interests of the public demand removal of admin istratorahlps from true company con trol t The effect of the arrangement is that trust companies may continue such business if they will sit quietly and wait for it to seek them, as all- ethical attorneys are supposed to do. Lawyers Much Excited. Meanwhile a number of lawyers who are employed by or are interested in trust companies, have been telegraph ically assaulting their professional brethren in the two houses with objec tions to Interfering with the company business. Between admitting that If they were similarly situated they would also be protesting, but not being so they want trust companies curtailed In legal en terprises. House and Senate attorneys are not yet certain whether they are in position to compromise or whether It would be better ethics to stand pat for ancient privileges and emoluments re gardless of results. They have worked hard in lining up. all kinds of doctors. Including corn and horse doctors, with support for all kinds of codes, including both corn and horse ethics, and they hate to see such enterprise wasted at this late day In the session. They are not all inclined to accept the non-advertising agreement as- con clusively satisfactory, when they reflect that through page ads and Interviews in newspapers of the past few days, the bankers have turned a flood of protest loose upon them. Appropriation BUI Passes. Still the various doctor bills have been fairly well attended to, the om nibus appropriation bill has passed both houses, the Senate acting fa vorably upon It today, and the lawyers are left with little more leverage than oratory with which to enforce their professional demands. It Is generally expected that the trust company com promise will shortly prevail. The omnibus, or general appropria tion bill, which went unamended through the .House, passed the Senate today with only such minor repairs as had occurred to the Joint committee in the meantime. It is now ready for the Governor, with some surmise ex isting that he may conclude to sub tract another $100,000 from it, in addi tion to reductions already made In committee. However, the total is still more than $500,000 below what the Governor, as a member of the State Board of Finance, approved prior to Legislative consideration. Gift to Veterans Repaid. The Senate also put the final legis lative touches on Gauntlett's military bill, which provides for an Increase of .1 mill in the levy and includes two new armories, and the Zednick bill, providing for military training In high schools, denatured to exclude the actual use of arms, was on the calendar for tonight. After discussion, the Senate passed a House bill appropriating $5348 to re imburse Horace C. Henry, of Seattle, for money advanced to take Civil War Veterans back to the 60th anniversary in 1.13 of the Battle of Gettysburg. Mr. Henry has offered to contribute the fund to the support of old soldiers in the state and to tubercular hospitals, if it is returned to him by the Legislature. Tuberculosis Work Provided. Other House bills passed by the Sen ate and sent to the Governor ap propriate 840,000 from the State Col lege fund for the use of that institu tion; appropriate 127.000 for relief of tuberculosis hospitals; extend the time tor installing new devices in electrical construction five years; permit the payment of (50 for an old soldier's funeral when requested by the post commander; require road lights on" all horse-drawn vehicles after dark, and the new automobile -ode, which in creases license fees, especially upon trucks, and installs a new system of tags whereby a single tag may be made to serve longer than one year, by the addition of a number device evolved by Representative Hummers, of Valla Walla, and given to the state without charge. The automobile code, it is estimated. will increase revenues more than 8200 000 annually, bringing the total to nearly 8600.000. The code provides schedule of licenses ranging from 85 to 810 for passenger automobiles and from 85 to 82o0 for motor trucks. The almost prohibitive license of 8250 is imposed on seven-ton trucks, the use of which, it is claimed, has greatly damaged state hlgnways. In a long list of second reading to day the House voted to abolish the Board of Managers for the State Re formatory, substituting the State Board of Control, as recommended by Governor Lister. Everett Wants Armory. Tonight's Senate calendar carried the bill already passed by the House to establish a National Guard Armory at Walla Walla, but a bill to establish an armory at Everett finds a place instead of the House bill to locate It at Aber deen. The Everett bill is not acoepted se rlously and It is generally conceded that the Aberdeen building will be authorised, as It is contemplated In as much of the original military pro gramme as survived the reconstruction period when it became certain that the first levy asked for was out of the question. The Senate vi 111 also con sider the high school military training bill if It is reached before adjournment this evening. The new deposit guarantee for state banks agreement has been incorporated in a bill which it is believed both houses will favor, 'it provides a form of Insurance against loss to depositors by bank failure, to be made good by the banks themselves through assess ments levied by the State Bank Ex aminer. Agreemnt upon the State Highway budget has been reached by Joint com mittee conference, with some changes, it is understood. . from the original budget provided by the State Highway Department. By these, it is said the plan to complete the Pacific Highway through to Vancouver in the coming two years has not been interfered with, an arrangement by which it Is believed the Southwest can be held1 safely In line even if disappointed In other allot ments of the fund. The chief source of possible disturb ance over the budget is traced to Sena tor Nichols, of King, chairman of the Senate roads committee, who in 1911 prevented a road levy. By satisfactorily taking care of King County demands It is believed trouble in this - particular will be avoided. USE OF 845,000 TOPIC DORSET E. SMITH "HOPES MAS CHOKES" WHO MISAPPLIES IT. Ad Club Hears Talk on Orearon Tourist Campaign to Be Made With Legislative Appropriation. "The advertising campaign for which Oregon has appropriated 845.000 is a new industry for Oregon and you and 1 are stockholders in it," said Dorsey E. Smith, head of a local travel bureau, addressing the Ad Club at Its luncheon yesterday, on the subject of how to spend a $25.000-a-year publicity fund to get the best results. "We want to see results from that this year, and if we don't get results it is going to be almighty bard to get another appropriation two years hence. but the only way in which ultimate ef fectiveness can be achieved is for tne advertising to be continued year after year. Already there are men In Portland who are planning to get a slice of the appropriation. 1 hope the man chokes who gets a slice, unless it is spent for legitimate advertising. I would rath er see it spent in Oregon for good roads than to see it go East for an adver tising campaign, unless that campaign was sensible and legitimate. Mr. Smith declared that offices In Chicago, New Orleans and similar cities will not prove an effective method of getting results immediately. "It is far better to get friendly with the men who sell the tickets to the tourists than to establish an Independent office n some Eastern city. Work with your home railroad llnea.. Get their offi cials to coach their men in the East to boost Oregon as a scenic state. "Keep the Berger-Jones pictures, the Lancaster pictures and the Klser pic tures busy in the East, so that men will see them and will decide to change their stop-over-on their itinerary and give more time to Oregon."

AUSTRIAN IS CLEARED GERMAN OR Tl'RK BLAMED FOR gl.XKIXO OF LAW. First Opinion of Identity of Subma rine Is Disproved In Official Re port to Washington. WASHINGTON. Feb. 38. It has been officially established that the American sailing schooner Lyman M. Law was not eunk by an Austro-Hungarian sub marine. It has been presumed that the Law was destroyed by an Austrian subma rine because she was baited on her way to Palermo, Italy, in a region where It was thought there were no German U-boats. The submarine showd no marks of identity, and it now is. assumed that she must have been German or possibly Turkish. Ambassador Penfleld, at Vienna, cabled a report today in response to inquiries from Secretary Lansing. The Law was sunk, according to official dispatches, by a bomb after its crew had been under shell fire. President Wilson in his address to Congress characterized the destruction of the Law as disclosing a "ruthless ness which deserves grave condemna' tion," but was what might have been expected.

PINCH0T1SM IS TO EiLAME Ultra-Conservationists Insist Upon Tbeir Particular Kind of Laves and Hence Western De velopment Is Halted. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Feb. 28. Congress will adjourn at the close of the present week with out having accomplished anything im portant and vital in the way of conser vation legislation. Neither during the present short session nor during the long session that preceded was any leg islation enacted into law that will tend to loose the millions of acres of pub lic lands that have been tied up In withdrawals, much of it for more than 10 years, 'waiting for the passage of Intelligent laws. Water-power develop ment, the development of oil, gas. phos phate and some coal lands, all Is pre vented because Congress has failed to act, The failure of the conservation bills Is attributable to the obstinacy of the ultra-conservationists, who insisted upon having their particular kind of legislation or none at all. They get none at all, and the West, or a large- and valuable part of it. remains tied up. Compromise Is Refused. The two water-power bills are going to fail, because the ultra-conservationists will not consent to an agreement on any save bills which have the full support and approval of " Gifford Pinchot. For the same reason the oil, gas and phosphate bills are going to die. At no time would the followers of Mr. Pinchot compromise with Sen ators and members who were striving to pave the way for development; they issued the ultimatum. "Take our bills or none. And they had votes enough to make good their threat. The records of the Sixty-fourth Con gress show clearly that the disciples of Pinchot have great- influence in Con gress, and while they yet lack enough votes to put through the kind of legis lation they want, at the same time they have enough votes to kill off bills they do not want. There is no partisan di vision on the conservation bills; there are Republicans and Democrats who side with Pinchot, Just as there are members of both parties who differ from him. Two Houses Deadlocked. As the legislative situation stands. the House and Senate are deadlocked over the Shields water-power bill, and tne senate, after two attempts, has refused to bring to a vote the Myers substitute for the Ferris water-power bill. But even If the Senate ha passed the Myers bill, the House would have rejected it, and a second deadlock would have developed, so that the ulti mate outcome would have been the same. It was Secretary Daniels, aetlnr In accord with Gifford Pinchot, who killed the oil-leasing bill by insisting that any oil bill passed must rjermlt la department to grab the lands prop erly entered by private interests in California and Wyoming. The Senate refused to pass such a bill as Sfrrmrv t-i i -1 - i . . . . . . r ' t-'o.incia tiiu mr. t-incnot demanded. and the conservationists were strong enough to prevent the passage of a bill that met with disfavor in tha Nvv Department.
