expected to precipitate general debate.

ON HOARD L'. S. S. GEORGE WASH
1NGTON. Feb. IS. (By the Associated
Press.) President Wilson spent his
first Sunday at sea in attending church
services, sleeping and resting. He con
rulered no official business whatever
ami received no official dispatches.
The president read with great inter
est a wireless digest of newspaper
opinion and expressions in congression
al circles regarding the constitution
of the league of nations. It is quite
out of the question that the senate
will be called upon at present to act
upon the league of nations treaty, as it
will not be perfected before the presi
dent's return to Paris, and it seems
probable that the covenant draft as it
las been published will be subjected
to some changes before It is put into
treaty form.
The president's plans are still based
en hi returning to Kilrope immediate
ly after the adjournment of congress,
with the possibility that he will re
main abroad until summer. The
chances seem o favor the calling of
an extra session of the senate and
posibly one ot congress alter me
work of the peace conference is fin
ished to pass upon treaties and take
any necessary legislative action.

HOCSE PASSES FISH MEASURE

. During Brief Debate.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Feb. 17.
(Special.) The Rogue river fish bill
passed the house this afternoon. Thirty
nine of the representatives voted in
favor of it.
During the debate charges were made
by Representative Sidler that the
Macleay interests had "opened their
sack" and expended large amounts of
money to defeat the bill before the
people, that they had subsidized the
press of the state and otherwise waged
a finaicial campaign to kill the bill,
passed by the last legislature.
"if the legislature defeats this bill,
we will go before the people with a
new one at the next session and will
put somft teeth in it declared -Sidler.
"The conditions at the mouth of the
Rogue river are absolutely rotten,"
said Lewis. "It is a one-man power
against the people."
Due to the fact that the question
had been largely threshed out on com
mittee report, the debate on the bill
was brief.

YANKS BRAVERY PRAISED
Roger E. Simmons Declares That the
American Forces Stationed in Far
North Are Well Supplied.
WASHINGTON', Feb. 17. Roger E.
Simmons, who recently returned from a
mission to Russia for the bureau of
commerce, today told the senate com
mittee investigating lawless agitation
in this' country that if the Americans
and allied forces were withdrawn from
northern Russia the bolshevik! would
engage in one of the bloodiest massa
cres the world had ever seen.
The witness said he was surprised
at the demands being made for the
withdrawal of the American forces.
and told the committee that 'every time
the American and allied soldiers had
found it necessary to give up ground
in northern Russia, the bolshevik! had
swept in and Inaugurated an orgy of
murder of peaceful citizens. He said
that before leaving Archangel last No
vember 3 he had found that the Ameri
can troops were well supplied and had
performed great acts of heroism which
yet remain to be told. All of the Rus
sians in the northern district were sym
pathetic with the ' allied forces, he
asserted, and were, praying that they
would not te removed. Evidence wtyich,
he said, showed that Germany was re
sponsible or the outbreak of Bol
shevism In Russia was presented to the
committee by Mr. Simmons.
Hua Responsibility Shown.
It Included a sworn statement of a
Russian that Just before the czar's gov- i
ernment was overthrown he was sent
by the German imperial chancellor to
Switzerland to determine which of the
Russian socialist schools there was the
most redical and to offer the leader
5.000,000 marks if he would send his
men into Russia to spread their propa
ganda. After visiting Switzerland, the
Russian reported that the school headed
by Lenine was the most radical, but be
recommended that the services of
Lenine be not engaged, as the result.
f successful, would mean a terrible
catastrophe for' Russia.
This evidence. Mr. Simmons said, cou
pled with the fact that Lenine -passed
hrough Germany on his way from
Switzerland to Russia; that members of
he red guard were given iron crosses.
and that German soldiers and officers
were used to put down anti-bolshevik
mutiny, proved beyond a doubt where
he responsibility lay for the reign of
terror in Russia.
The witness read to the committee
the text of a number of decrees through
which the bolshevikl secured the na-
tonali nation of women.
"These need no comment," he said.
This is the thing that is being fos
tered and upheld by the propaganda
ow being circulated, in the United
tates in an effort to justify bol-
hevism. The creed of the bolshevik!
oes npt spect, an.d in-act, discour
ses, and in some cases even prohibits
women from being virtuous. It is the.
same with religion. The bolshevik! i
favor no religion of any sort."
Reds Beliefs Condemned.
Full publicity of the acts and be
liefs of the bolsheviki, Mr. Simmons
aid. would be sufficient to kill the idea
the minds of any Americans who
ight have become sympathetic.
"What do you think of men like Al
bert R. Williams who come over here
nd uphold bolshevism?" asked a mem
ber of the committee.
T think." replied the witness, "that
Williams left Russia before the terror-
m began; Williams now is going
upon, a theory and is not taking into
consideration the practice of that
theory."

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 17. (Special.)
The legislature today refused to double
its salary, when the house of repre
sentatives defeated a proposed amend
ment to the constitution to increase it
from S to $10 per day.
A two-thirds vote is required, and
while a majority voted in its favor, the
vote of 33 to 25 was not sufficient to
carry it, so the solons will have to con
tinue to worry along with the high cost
of living. In point of legislation intro- .
duced, the proceedings of- the two
houses we.re important, while there was
passed among the outstanding measures
a bill to establish two tuberculosis hos
pitals in the state, one in the north and
one in the south. A second bill ap
proved appropriates $30,000 to investi
gate the water resources of the state.
The appropriations committee intro
duced a bill to provide for the needs
of six institutions divided as follows?
Soldiers' home $145,230, penitentiary
J167.090. Orofino asylum il31,5S0.
Blackfoot asylum $155,040, feeble-minded
institute $193,105, Children's homes
$15,000
The big good roads bill sponsored
by the state highway department was
also introduced. It calls for a tax
levy of 2 mills to raise. approximately
$1,600,000 which is apportioned to the
various state highways.

McFARLAJfD MEASURE 3IEETS
WITH LITTLE OPPOSITION.
Signature of 100 Taxpayers Must
Be Obtained on Petitions Ten
Rounds Fixed as Limit.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 17.
(Special.) rThe McFarland boxing
bill passed the house today. By unani
mous consent an amendment was put
into the bill on third reading which
prohibits boxing on Sundays, and an
other was inserted requiring that pe
titions for holding boxing matches must
be signed by 100 taxpayers instead of
10 taxpayers, as provided in the orig
inal bill. The limit is tixed at 10
rounds for professionals under the
commission and six rounds for amateur
bouts when held by organizations, such
as the Elks or labor unions.
Debate was shut off on the bill en
tirely immediately after it had been
read, when McFarland moved the pre
vious question. The bill provides for
allowing boxing exhibitions in those
cities and towns consenting to the
sport, with control by municipal coin
missions and with the governor, secre
tary of state and state treasurer acting
as an advisory board. t
Net receipts from Doxing contests are
to go for some charitable purpose. The
bill in no manner changes the present
laws relative to prize fighting.
Mrs. Thompson voted in fav0rof the
bill, explaining her vote by saying the
most mild-mannered man in the"house
had told her he was in favor of boxing
and that Roosevelt had developed it
weak constitution as a pari icipant' in
the sport. Thirty-eight affirmative
votes were given on the "bill. Speaker
Jones being among those voting
against it.

was sent back to the game committee
to straighten out some objections
which arose on the floor of the house,
there being a tangle as to the printed
amendments.
Objection arose against the bill on
the cround that it gives to the commiss
ion Dlenary powers to fix the salaries
of its employes, but it became evident
in the debate that a large following
in the house will stand for letting the
nmmiion handle its salaries. How
ever, objection to the new plan has not
been quelled.
Representative Lewis protested
against a section of the bill which
makes it a fineable offense for any
person to violate any of the rules
or regulations laid down by the com
mission. He declared that this would
make an autocracy of the commission.
Some of the other members asserted
that this provision is feasible and
logical.
All of these points will be threshed
voer in the same committee.
