SENATOR JONES TO
USE 0WI1 JUDGMENT
Washington Member Says
Legislature Will Not Be His
Guide in Voting.
COLOMBIAN PACT IS TEXT
ilatiflcatlon Declared Not Justified
Even as Measure of War Ex-
pediency Claim Based on
Extortion Is Resisted.
OKEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. March 29. Senator Jones, . of
Washington, does not propose to take,
orders from the Legislature of his
state as - to how far be shall go inl
standing by the President. just De
fore the close of the special session of
the Senate, Senator Jones, over the
protest of Democratic Senators,, pre
sented a memorial of the Washington
Legislature on this subject, and made
a brief statement In which he burled
defiance at the Legislature. The reso
lution to which he took partial excep
tion, resolved: -
Thtt the State of Washington be pledged
to stud by the President to the limit of its
resources in men and money, for arming our
meroh&nt ships and In support of all other
measures, ways, and means which the Presi
dent believes to- be necessary or expedient
for the defense of the country and the full
protection of the lives, property, and Just
rights of American citizens on sea and land.
Demand Will Be Ignored.
In presenting this resolution. Sen
ator Jones said:
"It was; no doubt, adopted In the
midst of the excitement of a few days
ago caused by the Imperfect and biased
newspaper reports of the proceedings
of Congress and by misrepresentations
and . untruthful statements from a
source much higher but which it had a
right to assume to be entirely trust
worthy. "This resolution pledges the people
and resources of the state of Washing
ton to support the President in arming
merchant ships and .'all other meas
ures, ways, and means which the Presi
dent believes to be necessary and ex
pedient, and so forth.'- While It does
not in express terms ask me to do this,
I assume that it expects me to do it.
In fact. Insofar as it can do so It pledges
me to do It- In effect, it pledges me as a
citizen of our state and a member of
one of the co-ordinate branches of the
Government to abdicate my power and
shirk my responsibilities by turning
these over to the President. It pledges
me to support whatever 'measure' or
"expedient he may deem necessary for
the defense of our honor and the main
tenance of the rights of American citi
zens, regardless of whether It meets
with my conception of duty or not. I
can not do that without being recreant
to the oath which I took to. support
.the Constitution and laws of our coun
try and to discharge the duties of my
office according to my ability.
Colombian Treaty Not Approved.
"The approval of the treaty we are
now considering is urged by the Presi
dent and a majority of the committee
as a necessary 'measure' or 'expedient
to meet the present critical foreign sit
uation. In the Washington Times of a
couple of days ago it was stated that
Senator Martin after a call upon the
President reported to. the Democratic
caucus that the President was more
than ever insistent that the Colombian
treaty should be ratified, and said:
i. lie rresiucni explained wiai ue
wanted the treaty passed at once, in
order to remove all danger of trouble
at this time in the vicinity of the
Panama Canal.'
"And referring to a recent appeal of
the President in behalf of the Colom
bian treaty it was said:
" 'On that occasion he observed sigr
nlflcantly that at the present time, of
all times, the United States needs the
friendship of Colombia and other Latin
American countries."
"And Senator Lodge, the ranking
minority member of the committee on
foreign affairs, who knows what repre
sentations have been made, said, in a
statement issued a day or two ago:
" 'We are told that Colombia will fur
nish submarine bases for Germany from
which she can assail our shipping and
the Panama Canal and, therefore, in the
present crisis we must ratify the treaty
and buy Colombia off with $25. 000,000
and an apology.
"Zlmmermannism," Warmly Opposed.
"Mr. -President, I am not in favor of
Zlmmermannism on the part of Ger
many, and I am not in favor of Zim
mermannism on the part of 'this coun
try, and that is what the approval of
this treaty means as now urged. Zim-
mermannism proposed to give Mexico
certain territory of the United States if
ehe would help Germany in case of
war with this country. It is now urged
that we should pay Colombia 2d.000,000
of our money to secure simply her neu
trality in case we get into war with
Germany. I can not vote for a treaty
urged for such a purpose. I can not
Support such a "measure or 'expedient
even though the Legislature of my state
lias, so far as it can do. pledged me to
io so. That, to my mind, dishonors the
"Nation.
"I can not approve by my vote such
a position, and I do not believe that
my Legislature would want me to do
it, . even though they have passed a
resolution so sweeping in its terms as
to cover such a request from the
President. . It simply illustrates the un
wisdom of using broad and general ex-
tended to cover a particular matter.
Extortion Not to Be Permitted.
"I will go as far as I possibly can
tt carry out the wishes and pledges of
the Legislature of my state. I will sup
port to the limit every act of the Presi
dent, whether right or wrong, in his
dealings with foreign countries done
within the limits of his constitutional
powers, and possibly go even further
where he may have already acted. I
will support to the limit every act done
"by a majority of Congress within its
constitutional powers, whether to my
Judgment right or wrong: and If this
treaty is ratified I will then cheerfully
assist in carrying it out. but even
though pledged to do so by the' Legis
lature of my state, composed, as I know
it to be, of able, earnest, and patriotic
men, I will not violate my convictions
of duty nor shirk the responsibility
jjlaced upon me by the Constitution and
vote for this treaty on the grounds
.urged.
"The Senator from Massachusetts
(Mr. Lodge) in a statement the- other
day expressed my views better than I
can express them when he said:
' " 'I shall most cheerfully join In giv
ing the President every power he needs
and vote to place on the statute books
every necessary law to help us win the
war as soon as possible, if war must
come; but I will not vote to betray
gratuitously my country's honor and to
tlrag her through the deepest humili
ation by submitting to blackmailing
threats and naked coercion from Colom
bia or any other state.
' "It matters not whether her claim Is
meritorious or worthless. It must not
be extorted. from the United States by
threats of War or of alliance with Ger
many.' "

NEW CONTRACTS AIM
Lumbermen and Shipbuilders
Unite to Land Business.
FEDERAL TRADE IS SOUGHT
Member of National Shipping Board
Due Monday and Complete Ex- V
position of District's Facili
ties Will Be Presented.
" Lumber manufacturers have Joined
with wooden shipbuilders at Portland
and along the Columbia River, so that
a thorough presentation may be made
before Vice-Chairman Theodore Brent,
of the Federal Shipping Board, of the
desirability of placing Government
contracts in this locality for some of
the vessels of 3000 and 4000 tons that
are proposed.
Harry Pennell. one of the best
known lumbermen of the district, who
has an intimate knowledge of ship-'
ping conditions, and who is head of
the navigation committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce, has been selected
as chairman of the delegation of prac
tical men who will meet with Mr
Brent here Monday and go Into the
situation. -
In regular order the presentation Is
to be made, first as to lumber avail
able in the way of grades, lengths and
dimension material and special stuff
that can be drawn from virgin sources
as wanted; second, skilled and un
skilled labor to be had. as well as
such men who can be drawn to the
yards from certain outside occupa
tions, who may -be developed into
ship carpenters In short order, and
third, the plant facilities already to
be had, sites for new yards that can
be impressed, and concrete assurances
from most dependable sources that
finances will be forthcoming for more
yards to be placed-excluslvely at the
disposal of the Government.
"Three responsible business men
have voluntarily guaranteed today to
provide funds for as many plants if
it is shown the Government requires
more yards on the river," said W. D.
B. Dodson, executive secretary of the
Chamber. "These men are not inter-ester-in
shipbuilding at present, and,
so far as I know, have not considered
investing in that line before, but they
believe that the Government's plans
are of an emergency character and
that it is as necessary to assist in
providing such ships as it Is for men
to enlist to defend the colors."
The meeting is to' be conducted at
the Chamber if agreeable to Mr. Brent,
who was advised of the arrangement
yesterday by telegraph.
The Shipping Board has under' con
templation the building of 1000 ships
for which $50,000,000 is available, and
Congress is expected to ejt aside $200,.
000,000 additional if needed. Mr. Brent
is now at San Francisco In conference
with builders and shipping interests.

GILL CASE ENDS TODAY
BIATOR DECLARED TO BE LATE
EDITIOJV OK CARRIE NATION.
BllUngsley Testimony Is . Under Fire
all Day, Defense Contending That
Bribe la Trained."
SEATTLE, Wash.. March 29. The
whisky conspiracy trial in the United
States Court in which Mayor Hiram C.
Gill. Chief of Police Charles L. Beck
ingham and City Detectives .Peyser.
Pool man. Doom and McLennan are de
fendants, will go to the Jury late to
morrow. The defendants are charged
with conspiracy to violate the Federal
laws by importation of liquor into the
state of Washington.
All of today was occupied in summing-up
arguments for the defense, in
which the credibility of the leading
Government witness. Logan Billings
ley, who testified that he personally
gave a bribe of $4000 to Mayor Gill,
was the chief point of attack.
When court reassembles tomorrow
morning William R. Bell will speak an
hour in behalf of two of the detectives
on trial. Clarence L. Reames, special
prosecutor, will close for the Govern
ment, and Judge Neterer will charge
the Jury probably about the middle of
the afternoon.
Frederick Bausman. ex-Supreme Jus
tice associate counsel for Mayor Gill,
insisted today that the story told on
the stand by Logan Billingsley, as to
the alleged bribery of the Mayor with
$4000 last August 30, was preposterous.
Mayor Gill, said Judge Bausman.
"had put the Blllingsleys out of busi
ness, with his Carrie Nation hatchet."
The Blllingsleys, after loss of their
drugstores, had tried a new system of
billing liquor from San Francisco to
Alaska and then intercepting it here.
Caught Ijy the Federal authorities, the
Blllingsleys sought to escape punish
ment for their crimes by dragging
down some public man. and Mayor Gill
was chosen as the victim because they
hated him, he said.

SEVERAL MEETINGS
Fir Exploitation Company Re

in Orient and Elsewhere.
INFORMAL DINNER IS GIVEN
West Coast Inspection - Bureau Has
Routine Session--Willamette Val
ley Manufacturers and General
Association to Meet Today. .
Lumber manufacturers from many
parts of. the Pacific Coast are in Port
land to attend a series of Important
meetings affecting the Industry.
The first two of these meetings were
held yes'erday; two others are sched
uled for today.
The Douglas Fir Exploration & Ex
ploitatlon Company held Its monthly
meeting In the Lewis building. W. H.
Talbot, of San Francisco, president of
Ue company, presided. Nearly a score
of the directors, representing nearly
every Important lumber producing cen
ter on the Pacific Coast, were present.
Mr. Talbot reports that the company
is doing an increasing business in the
Orient and other parts of the world.
Scarcity of tonnage alone prevents fur
ther increase in the, volume.
The association now embraces more
than 60 mills and lumber dealers in
California, Oregon, Washington and
British Columbia. The Portland and
Columbia River mills have not gener
ally joined the organization, however.
They apparently prefer to handle their
lumber on an Independent basis.
Legislation now pending In Congress
and supported by President Wilson is
intended to give associations of this
kind the legal right to pool their in
terests for the purpose of developing
foreign trade without violating the
Sherman anti-trust law. If this meas
ure gets through the new Congress It
will greatly stimulate the trade possi
bilities of the Douglas fir industry.
Incidental to the Douglas fir meet
ing the West Coast Lumber Inspection
Bureau held Its monthly meeting yes
terday and transacted routine business.
Last might the visiting lumbermen
met with local manufacturers at an in
formal dinner at the Benson HoteL
The regular monthly meeting of the
Willamette Valley Lumber Manufac
turers' Association will be held this
morning in the headquarters In ' the
Gerlinger building.
It is probable that the case recently
decided adversely to the association
by the- Interstate Commerce Commis
sion will get consideration. This de
cision places the Portland lumber mills
on a parity with their Willamette Val
ley competitors on business into North
ern California.
The principal session of the week
will be that of the West Coast Lum
bermen's Association at the Benson Ho
tel this afternoon.
In addition to the routine business,
four important addresses are" scheduled
as follows: ,
Robert G. Dieck. City Commissioner
of Portland, on "Wood Block Paving";
G. B. Hegardt, chief engineer of the
Portland Public Docks Commission, on
"Wooden Grain Elevators"; J. L. Stan
nard. member of the American Society

WORK ON OREGON CITY PROJECT
TO START OX APRIL 8.
Canal Will Be Drained to Widen
' Passageway; and for Erection of
Dividing; Wall In River.
OREGON CIT.Y. Or., March 29. (Spe
cial.) The steamer Mathloma arrived
at the Oregon City locks Wednesday
from Portland with a cargo of mate
rials to be u-sed in the construction of
$105,000 worth of Improvements by the
Government.
Work on the widening of the locks
and the erection of a wall that will
divide the river into two channels
will start April 8, when the water
will be drained from the canal and
footings put In for temporary dams
and flumes. The water will again
be drained from the canal on April
15. It is expected the preliminary
work there will be ' so far advanced
hat ships may use the locks dur
ing the regular construction work..
While the Government is doing this
work, the Portland Railway. Light &
Power Company will build a temporary
dam to divert water to four sections
of its power plant so that .current may
be supplied for the Oregon City in
terurban line and the line of the Ore
gon Electric.
After the Government has built the
wall which will divide the water for
power from that used for navigation
the engineers will a'sk for $80,000 more
to deepen one of the lower locks, where
It is said ships .have difficulty In
passage during low-water-stages.

REFORM NEED IS URGED
PARENTAL SCHOOL IS ADVOCATED
BY JUDGE TAZWELL.
Board Is Asked to Provide Home for
10 or '12, Under Surveillance
of Man and Wife.
Urgent need of a parental school is
pointed out in a letter sent the School
Board Wednesday by County Judge
TazweU a letter which not only calls
attention to the inadequacy of exist
ing institutions but suggests the na
ture of school which should be estab
lished. "In many cases it is simply the ex
uberance of youth that causes these
juveniles to fall in the meshes of the
law and a proper school would save
this material to the state." he cays.
The letter follows in part:
I find, in the performance of my duties
as Juvenile Judge of this city, many cases
that urgently require such a school. In
my Judgment some of .the best talent -in the
city comes before ' the Juvenile Court. In
my opinion such a school should not be In
any sense an institution, but a home, with
not more than 12 children, and should be
presided over by a man and his wife. There
should be a team of horses, cows sufficient
to furnish milk, garden space sa that they
could raise most of the products they con
sume. The boys themselves, under the guidance
of one of your manual training teachers,
should build the house, barns, and other
buildings. Tour garden director could di
rect the garden work. Thus all the work
could be "made vital and have real educa
tional value.
Seeing the need of such an Institution as
I do, I respectfully request you to start
such-a school at the 'earliest possible time,
as it would fill a great need in the com
munity. RAYMOND HAS $30,000 FIRE

of appetite and sleeplessness. I was
weak, my circulation was very poor
and I was not able to do my duty in
my parish as I felt I should. I had
tried various remedies, but did not
seem to get ary better. Through Mr.
Gatlin, of Bearden, Ark., I learned of
Vinol. and It built me up. I regained
my appetite, can sleep better and do
more work."
There is no secret about Vinol; it
derives Its power to build up the -overworked,
broken-down, nervous system
from beef and cod liver peptones, iron
and manganese peptonates and glyc
erophosphates, etc., which it contains.
Anyone in Portland who wishes to
try Vinol can do so with the under
standing that we will return their
money if they are not satisfied.
