2 ADVISERS NAMED TO
AID GOVERNOR LISTER
Executive Appoints W. V. Tan
ner and Dr. Suzzalio.
SOLONS WILL CO-OPERATE
Appointees Will Attend to Detail
Work or Office and Consult AVitli
Governor 'YJuen Necessary.
OLYM7IA, Y.'ash., Feb. 3. (Special.)
In yielding to demands of his physi
cians that he rest for several weeks.
Governor Lister tonight announced the
selection of President Henry Suzzalio,
of the University of Washington, and
V. Tanner, Attorney-General, as his
T'ersonal advisers on legislative and ad
ministrative problems and policies dur
ing the Governor's illness.
They will arange their time so that
one or both will be at the executive
offices in the Statehou.se daily for con
ference with legislators, committees
cir others. Their consultations with
the Governor will be carried on at the
Matter's residence, here, where the Gov
ernor will remain until certain of re
gained tsti'engrth.
.Appointees AVell-tiiialifled.
Of his reasons for naming executive
advisors. Governor Lister in the first
f'ormal statement made since his ill
iss, says:
"The chief problems confronting the
utate of Washington today are those of
readjustment to peace conditions. During-
the war period, lr. Suzzalio, as
chairman of the State Council of De
fense, and Mr. Tanner, as Attorney
General, were in intimate touch with
conditions in the state and in almost
daily consultation with me. They are
consequently well f:tted to assist me
now in passing on the various ques
tions coming up for action, which I
am intensely anxious to have handled
in a manor that will be to the best in
terests of the state and its people.
They will spend a portion, of each day
in the executive offices."
The plan of dividing: the state ex
ecutive work with two consulting Gov
ernors will become effective tomorrow
and already has met with peneral
legislative approval. Rules committees
of both houses, which are overwhelm
ingly Republican, already have assured
Governor Lister, who is a Democrat,
that no interference with policies or
arrangements of the executive depart
ment would be tolerated during his en
forced absence from the Statehouse.
Detail Work to lie rcrformtd.
Today's statement that he had been
directed to re.-.t for several weeks is
the nearest Governor Lister has come
to admitting illness publicly. The con
sulting Governors expect to relieve him
entirely of executive detail work and
the burden of conference sessions.
If the House follows the course taken
today by the Senate on amended Senate
Mil 18, the legal limit of 5 cents
for city streetcar fare will be re
movable by action of a City Council
in the case of a municipal owned rail
way, or by the Public Service Commis
sion when the line is privately oper
ated. Following a long fight made by
home rule supporters, the bill passed
by a vote of 29 to 11. Its supporters
went into today's fight with a cer
tain strength of 25 votes and finished
with -i), or seven more than needed.
Kleven Senators voted in opposition.
They were Davis, JFairchild, l'awcett,
Hastings, Ivcrson, Lamping, Landon,
Metcalfe. O'Hara and Fhrpps, all with
one exception coming from Seattle, Ta
coma or Spokane, where the home rule
for cities support is strongest.
Quick UeciKions . Wnntrd.
The bill carries an emergency clause
and prompt application for hearings
on petitions filed by streetcar com
panies to increase fares above 5 cents
is expected if the bill passes the House
and is approved by the Governor as
an emergency action, which will pre
vent a referendum. Only in exceptional
cases has the Governor heretofore ap
proved emergency clauses.
Tacoma is at present paying a 7
tent streetcar fare through the award
of a local committee of -5 appointed
to consider relief measures for the
benefit of shipyard workers, and Walla
Walla has an b-cent fare authorized
through a city election referendum, the
question of chief political interest in
Seattle and Tacoma. The former now
is negotiating purchase of the Stone
& Webster streetcar interests and at
the samo time is operating a munici
pal line. Tacoma has a city-owned
line, and the proposition of buying the
Stone & Webster property there is un
der consideration.
As originally drawn, the bill passed

today authorizes city councils to in

sion from jurisdiction within cities of

ties committee, of which Howard I).
Taylor, of King, is chairman, revised
the bill to its present form, with provi
sions that both the companies and the
Public Service Commission have been
demanding for several years.
Politic Alleged Flayed.
In supporting the amended bill today.
Senator Hall, of Colfax, charged that
the o-cent limitation was forced into
the public service act in 1S11 for
political purposes by the president of
the Senate at that time, through sur
prise tactics at the last moment. The
presiding officer he alluded to was W.
H- Paulhamus, of Fierce County. Mr.
Hall presented the country district and
small city side of the argument in hi
contention that where fares are too low
to pay the proper return within city
limits the outside territory has to make
up the deficiency on higher suburban
charges.
Senator Coman, of Spokane, in sup
porting the bill directly opposed his
two colleagues, Senators Johnson and
Phipps.
Following- another floor fight, the
Senate today passed bills appropriating
125,000 for an armory at liverett and
$100,000 each for armories at Walla
Walla and Aberdeen. Senators Fred
W. Loomis, of Grays Harbor, and D.

II. CoJCiOf Walla Walla, figured prom
inently in support of the appropria
tions. A test vote of 30 to 10 in favor
of the armories was taken on the Ever
ett bill. Opponents based their argu
ment on assumptions that the Federal
Government intends to abolish National
Guard organizations.
Introduction of bills and a long con
test over a bill to require all public
printing done within the state occupied
the House today. The printing bill, after
failing to pass and being revived for
reconsideration, went over to await the
return of Representative Pliny L. Al
len, its author, who is absent in Ore
gon with the joint legislative commit
tee on veterans' welfare legislation.

OREGON' AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Feb. 3. (Special.) Here is
a chance for high schools of Oregon.
The Reserve. Officers' Training- Corps
will be extended to 73 or SO high
schools in the twelfth district, accord
ing to Lieutenant Carlo S. Morbio, as
sistant inspector for the district, with
headquarters at Helena, Mont., who
spent two days inspecting- the K. 0. T.
C. at the college.
The first of the high school unit?
has been established a.t Mount t.
Charles College, Helena, and an appli
cation has been received from the
Walla AValla High School, which Lieu
tenant Morbio recently visited. It was
expected that units will be organized
in several of the best high schools in
Oregon.
"This college has had compulsory
military instruction as a land grant
institution since 1SS5," he said, "and
the spirit and traditions built up make
it easy to conform to the R. O. T. C.
plan."
Lieutenant Morbio announced that
because of the importance of the mil
itary work at the college he will rec
ommend that two officers be sent
here a Captain and a Lieutenant as
assistants to Colonel Alfred C. Sharpe,
commandant.
DEPORTATION TO BE ASKED
SELECTIVE SERVICE OFFICIALS
CONSIDER ALIEN" CASES.
Cancellation, of Naturalization Pa
pers to Escape Draft AVlll Be
Basis of Recommendations.
Deportation of aliens who canceled
their first citizenship papers durirg
the war period, thereby avoiding liabil
ity to take up arms for the United
States, will be proposed at a confer
ence of all local selective s rvicc offi
cials at noon today.
William F. Woodward, chairman of
the central selective service organiza
tion of Portland and Multnomah Coun
ty, has called the meeting. It will "e
held in room 1512 Ycon building, the
office of Dan J. Malarkey, secretary of
the Portland district draft board.
As one provision of the draft laws,
it was permitted that citizens of neu
tral countries holding only first papers
in the United States might go before
their local board and cancel their dec
laration of intention to become a
United States citizen. By so doing they
were relieved of liability to the draft.
In Oregon approx'mately 100 declar
ants resorted to this means of avoiding
military duty and remaining at home
to receive the big wages most of them
were drawing. The State Council of
Defense took the matter up and made
a complete record of all such cases.
Copies of this data were sent to al!
naturalization offices and draft boards
of the United States, with a view to
assuring that none of these men iniyht
later obtain citizen hip.

Torpedo Seen Striking:.
"Our ship, in which we had no lack
of confidence, stopped dead after a few
grinding? and grumblings in the en
gine room," writes Orlando. "The
turbine had stripped, so we were help
less. Other ships in the convoy passed
us. Then about 10 minutes later, be
ing a few minutes before 6 P. M., we
saw and heard a. big explosion on the
starboard side of one of the ships in
our convoy ahead of us. It was from
a torpedo. Then thinirs were real
lively for a while. Shots were fired
and 1 believe, a torpedo was fired at
our escort, a French cruiser, which
went wild in the wake of her. All the
ships were zig-zagging and huddling
together like frightened sheep.
"Finally our convoy passed on out of
sight, firing shots continuously. The
armed yachts convoying us came back
to pick tip the crew of the other ship,
which had taken to the lifeboats, and
to find how long before we would be
under way. We told her that we were
helpless, and our injuries irreparable.
Two Torpedoe Hit Ship.

the y'.chts were dropping 'ash cans' all

and then sent us two, one hitting in

wounding three or four others, and the
other hitting directly under the bridge.
Water began to pour in everywhere,
Harry and I, by chance, being asleep
at the time (the other operator being
on watch), were rudely awakened by
the two explosions.. Harry made his
station all right, but I had to go to

hauled me up. We then launched a life
raft, all the lifeboats having been
taken, after quite a little work.
"We were roused by shouts from a
boat about 25 feet away. We went
alongside the boat, which contained
only three men and our pet dog
wrapped up in a coat. We rowed
around until morning, keeping the life
raft in tow. The next morning we
pulled alongside a boat in which I saw
Harry, and was considerably relieved.
We were picked up about 7 or 8 o'clock
by the United States ship Burrows, a
torpedo-boat, that was helping convoy
some cargo ships that were returning.
"That day about 10 A. M. we saw the
Mcyitana go down. When we left water
was bursting from the vents on the
upper or boat deck of the torpedoed

o'clock the Burrows sighted what she
thought was a submarine, but which
