Heir to Throne Attends Affair In
Honor at Coblenz, Where He Is
Guest of Yank Officers.
COBLENZ, Jan. 12. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The. Prince of Wales,
who has been visiting the American
area of occupation as the guest of
Major-General Dickman, returned to
the British sector this afternoon. He
said good-by to General Dickman at a
luncheon at which he was the guest
of Major-General Hines in the castle
of the Prince of Wied at Xeuwied.
Since his arrival in the American
zone the Prince had been treated as
an ordinary Captain, the rank desig
nated by his uniform, rather than as
the heir to the British throne.
At the dance the Prince attended
last night it was intended that he
should be exempted from "cutting in,"
.which meant that one officer could
claim the partner of another officer,
there not being enough nurses from the
American and British armies to go
around. One officer accidentally "cut
in" on the Prince. The Prince passed
the incident aside and for the remain
der of the evening "cut In" and sub
mitted to the loss of his partner with
the same grace as the others.
The first girl that the Prince danced
with was Miss Agnes Kann, a nurse
of Baltimore. When the music began
the Prince was standing near Miss
Kann and at once offered her his arm.
Aiterwara he danced virtually every
number, treating the American and
British nurses impartially.
The Prince was not a good dancer.
American officers, it developed later,
had spent a good part of the preceding
afternoon teaching him the steps of
the American dances.

INFLUENZA IS FORGOTTEN
Legislators Show No Indication of
Any Adjournment.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Jan. 13.
(Special.) Spanish influenza, sole ab
sorbing topic the past few days, was
entirely forgotten, apparently, when
the Legislators landed on the scene, and
not a mention was made of it in either
House throughout the day today.
The way in which both Houses got
down to business indicates -that any
idea of adjournment has been aban
doned, unless possibly the disease be
came prevalent among the members.
Legislators, however, came armed with
sprays, gargles and miscellaneous pre
ventive appliances.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Jan. 13.
(Special.) No time was lost by the
Oregon Legislature in organization.
Within the opening hour Senator Vinton
occupied the President's chair and
Speaker Jones was Installed in the
House.
The unanimity with which both
houses organized bodes well for con
structive work during the session. Only
one little cloud appears in, the horizon.
Consolidation sentiment appears to flow
in divergent channels in the two
houses.
Ktchardaon Myatrry Solved. '
Report from an authoritative source
has it that Representative J. G.' Rich
ardson, of Jiultnomah County, will
head a special consolidation commit
tee in the House, and Senator Walter
Dimick. of Clackamas, will be given
that place in the Senate.
This solves the mystery of what re
ward Richardson was to receive for
having a large part in the engineering
of the election of Jones to the Speaker
ship, but it also will apparently pre
sent some complications in the two
houses getting together on the ques
tion of consolidation.
Honae Oppoaes Joint Committee.
Dimick introduced a joint resolution
in. the Senate providing for a Joint
committee on ' consolidation. House
members declare that they won't Btand
for this and that they Intend to have
purely House committee.
House member; who will be con
nected with the special committee also
make it plain that the consolidation
commission's programme will meet
with approval from them only In cer
tain details. In the main It will be
shoved into the discard. They also
made it plain that they will have a
programme of their own.
Other States Have Been Studied.
Richardson, who will be the commit
tee's chairman, has visited other states
recently and It has developed that his
visits have been for the purpose of
studying other state governments with
the consolidation plan in view. His
friends assert he will accept no minor
place on a joint committee and that the
House members will demand that they
be allowed to work out their own pro
gramme. On the other hand, Dimick wishes to
head the joint committee, and com
plications already loom ahead which
seem certain to dash the consolidation
commission's programme onto the
rocks, but may evolve some other def
inite and concrete plan before the ses
sion is over.
VETERAXS TO GET PREFERENCE
Compulsory Employment on Public
Work Proposed by Bill.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Jan. 13.
Compulsory employment of returned
soldiers and sailors by the state, county.
city and other municipal corporations
within the state is provided in a bill
introduced in the Senate today by Sen
ator Farrell, of Multnomah.
The bill, which is the first of a flood
of reconstruction measures to be
ground through the legislative mill this
year, provides that soldiers and sailors
who have been honorably discharged
must be given preference in employ
ment by state, county, city or other
municipal corporations. It applies to
veterans of the Civil War, Spanish War
and the war with Germany.
It is likewise provided that in case
any contract of more than $500 is
awarded by any political subdivision of
the state, such contract must contain a
clause providing that the contractor
shall give preference to returned sol
diers and sailors. Failure to do so
would invoke heavy penalties, accord
ing to the terms of the bill.
In case a soldier has been maimed or
crippled, he is to be given employment
adapted to his physical condition. If
any subdivisions affected by the pro
visions of the proposed law shall find
it necessary to cut down their forces,
the bill provides that the soldiers and
sailors are the last to be dismissed
from service.
The same concessions are to be grant
ed to the widows and orphans of sol
diers and sailors under the terms of
Senator Farrell's measure. Failure of
any public officer to comply with tho
provisions of the law can be punished
by fine, imprisonment or removal from
office.
