LANE AGAIN LINES UP WITH PACIFISTS Oregon Senator, With La Fol lette, Refuses to Applaud President's Talk. STOICISM SHOWN MID DIN Wisconsin Man Sneers, but Com panion, Lane, Sits Silent While Patriotic Demonstration Is Staged in Congress. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April 2. Senator Harry Lane, of Oregon, tonight again arrayed him self with the pitiful group of pacifists in Congress. He refused steadfastly to approve a single utterance of the Presi dent in his thrilling address to Con gress. He evidenced no sympathy with the lofty sentiments voiced by the President. At times he seemed bored; his attitude as seen from the gallery was entirely In accord, with the atti tude he assumed In the Senate on March 4 when he took his stand in op position to the Administration on the question of the armed-neutrality bill. As the Senate marched to the hall of the House this evening. Senator Lane walked arm in arm with the notorious La Follette. On La Follette's arm he entered the House chamber, and during the delivery of the President's ad dress. Senator Lane sat alongside La Follette. Neither Applauds Speech. At no time did either Senator ap plaud. Through most of the speech La Follette sneered. When the Presi dent said disloyalty would be dealt with "with stern repression," La Fol lette ceased to smirk. He gulped. La Follette was manifestly trying as best he could from his place to show his contempt for the President. Senator Lane did not do this. He did not sneer, but sat with stoic countenance, revealing little of the thoughts running through his brain. At times he listened to La Follette's whisperings, but seemed to offer no re ply, but he did not applaud. He did not evince the slightest approval of anything the President said. He was utterly unmoved when almost the en tire assemblage of Senate and House arose in wild enthusiasm to shout its approval of the President's declara tion: "We will not choose the path of submission." No Enthusiasm Shown. All around on either side from and back Senators and Repreresentatives, Republicans and Democrats, rose to this declaration almost as a man. Pro longed shouts of wildest enthusiasm went up such as never before greeted any single utterance of President, Wil son in Congress. Senator Lane' and Senator La Follette did not once rise. They did not applaud when the Presi dent said this Government should "exert all its power to bring the Ger man government to terms and end the war," and there was another demon stration. Senator Lane and Senator La Follette sat supinely in their seats. They were unmoved, and so it was at each recurring hit made by the Presi dent. These two Senators, sitting side by side, were conspicuous for their lack of response, for their refusal to respond and at the end it was the same. There again they sat quietly. They evidently did not approve. They registered their disapproval by their steadfast refusal to applaud. In marked contrast to Senator Lane, sat Senator Chamberlain across the aisle, enthusiastically indorsing the sentiment of the President and particu larly applauding his declaration for universal service. Quite as demon strative was Representative .ulcArthur, who, like many other Republicans. buried partisansnlp in his effort to show -.is willingness to get back of the Presi dent in the hour of greatest need. During the whole memorable event, Senator Lane was manifestly worried. He was ill at ease; he was uncom fortable, but he remained to the end. He and La Follette were of the piti fully hopeless minority that could find nothing to Indorse in all the epochal address of President Wilson. PROJECT HEAD IS OUT J. G. CAMP REPLACED AT KLAMATH BY J. B. BOND. Official Relieved of Charge of Reclama tion Office Believes Misunder standing Is ause. KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. April 2. (Special.) Project Manager J. G. Camp today was removed from office and J. B. Bond, formerly of Browning, Mont., was placed in charge of the local offices of the Reclamation Service.

Mr. Camp made the fol lowing statement today: "The Reclamation Service must have a project manager at Klamath who will not only deal fairly with the water users but one who will, after co-operating with the local office, report fully and clearly to this and the Washington offices upon all matters pertaining to the affairs of the project and its oper ations and future development, so that these offices may have full information before acting on -the many matters which pertain to the welfare of the settlers and of the Government." "The above statement was made in a letter from the chief of construction to me, and I was requested to turn over the project to Mr. J- B. Bond and put in the coming month making him ac quainted with the project, said Mr. Camp. "Mr. Bond is now in charge! This decision of the chief of construc tion is a surprise to me, and I believe is founded on a misunderstanding which I am in hopes can be cleared up. I have tried to do my best for the project and have kept my superior officers well In formed at all times in regard to all project affairs." I. W. W. DENY VIOLENCE Witness at Tracy Trial Says Sabot age Is Not Destructive. ' SEATTLE, Wash., April 2. The In dustrial Workers of the World do not stand for destruction of, property and do not advocate violence, according to James P. Thompson, a National or ganizer, who testified this afternoon at the trial of Thomas. H. Tracy, the I. W.

CHINESE GIN FOUND Cannery Hands Going to Alaska Have Trunks Full. $40 IS PAID IN- FINES Judge Stevenson Holds Violations Aro Technical, Accepts Com promise Plea, and Clemency . Pleases Contractor. Twenty Chinese cannery hands bound for Alaska and the Icy waters of the salmon fisheries, tarried in Portland yesterday just long enough to be ar rested on charges of violating the pro hibition law by transporting liquor into the state. "There were 50 Chinese In the original party, bound for Seattle from San Fran cisco via Astoria and Portland. All ar rived at the North Bank depot Sunday afternoon, and their small mountain of luggage, rolled bedding and trunks came with them. Under contract to Wong On. manager of the Kwong Mun Tuen Company, of 73 North Fourth street, contractors of Chinese labor, the cannery hands expected to tarry in Portland for a day, leaving then to join their cannery steamer at Seattle. Liquor Trnnlc Found. The plan miscarried when City De tectives Cahill and Hammersly scented the pungent odors of Chinese gin at the North Bank depot and traced it to Its source In two dripping trunks, which were seized and taken to the police station. Yesterday morning Patrolman R. I Phillips, on duty at the depot, discov ered yet another consignment of liquor. a dozen or more of earthen flasks of choice rice wine, imported from Tien Tsln, China. When a score of the chat tering cannery hands appeared to claim their baggage, the patrolman. In structed by the District Attorney's of' flee, placed them under arrest and, rang for the patrol wagon. The baggage. IBS pieces In all, was hauled to the eta tlon on three trucks. Before a dozen patrolmen. Chief Dep uty Smith, of the Internal Revenue Service, and Deputy District Attorney Ryan, the cannery hands opened their baggage to aid in the quest for con traband. There were scores of the queer, long-stemmed Chinese pipes, packages of weird Oriental medicines, tiers of imported canned fish -and heaps of carefully laundered and folded gar ments, but no more liquor. Compromise Plea Arranged. So far as the identity of the owners of the four pieces of contraband was concerned, the authorities were at a loss. Wong On, the contractor, faced by the loss of several thousand dollars if the men did not reach their destina tion in time, asked his attorney, James E. Cralb, topresent a compromise and agree to plead guilty on four charges. Before Municipal Judge Stevenson the missing defendants were listed as Won Mo Bow and Wan Lung Hun, the names on two of the consignments. "Let us call the others Ah Roe and Ah Doe," suggested the court, and the jest stood. "It appears from the testimony," said Judge Stevenson, "that the violation is merely a technical one and that the defendants intended to transport the liquor through this state to Alaska, there to employ it for their own use. I think, that $10 in each case will be sufficient." The fines were promptly paid by Wong On, who expressed himself as pleased at the clemency of the court. But two trunks and more of Chinese gin and wine, once Intended to ward away the chills of Alaskan exposure and the frigid effect of day labor In glacial water, is now destined to course down the sewer. t SHOOT OX SIGHT IS ORDER Baker Police Ready for Reported Descent of Tong Gunmen.
