CONGRESS GATHERS,
BUT LITTLE IS DDK
Galleries and Many Seats in
Both Houses Deserted.
NOTE IS DISAPPOINTING
Washington Surprised to Learn
That President Is Writing
Message From Sickroom. .
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec. 1. Washington looked on
today at one of the Quietest and most
uneventful opening days of congress
in history. Perhaps fatigued by the
long strain over the peace treaty,
which was laid aside only ten days
agoj but 55 senators appeared to an
swer to rollcall.
This was in distinct contrast to- the
last week of the old session, when
the complete vote of the senate, was
cast on several of the peace treaty
votes for the first time in almost a
quarter of a century.
There was an absence of al of that
hurry and bustle which usually marks
an opening day, because another prec
edent was broken in the failure of
the executive departments," through
the secretary of the treasury, to have
their estimates of expenses for the
fiscal year ready to submit when
congress met.' These came out later in
the afternoon, however.
Callerles Are- Deserted.
Probably because the people became
so satiated with congress during the
debates on the peace treaty the
public galleries were practically
empty. The house did the unusual
thing of settling down to business on
the first day and working through
out the, afternoon taking up the
unanimous consent calendar and pass
ing bills with exceptional rapidity.
Tomorrow is looked forward to as a
precedent-breaking day in the his
tory of the present administration be
cause it will be the first time that
.Mr. Wilson, when at home, has failed
to appear personally before a joint
session of the senate and the house
to read his message.
In this connection it was interest
ing to persons residing here to read
that Mr. Wilson had personally writ
ten the message that is to be sub
mitted tomorrow.
It has been understood for some
days that the message was being
written by the cabinet, and those who
follow such matters were looking to
find much of the style of Franklin
K. Lane, secretary of the interior, in
tomorrow's state papers.
lilac Clowe in Touch.
Mr. Lane ranks as the literary man
of the president's family and as the
one man who knows something about
almost everything that is going on
within this government. He writes
"""good newspaper style and has fre
quently declared that anything worth
giving out for publication is worth
writing in a way that it will be read.
President Wilson's health has been
the subject of renewed discussion in
Washington the last few days, and
the general opinionappears to be that
his condition from 'the first was al
most as critical as report had it. One
fact commented upon most is that,
jilthough daily reports have , been
made of his rapid recovery, there is
nothing yet to indicate that he has ever
stood upon his feet. What little time
he spends out of - bed he is in an
invalid's chair and is wheeled about
the White House in this manner.
This is what may have given rise
to the rumor that he had suffered
paralysis of the less, which was de
nied by Secretary Tumulty, who, how
ever, like other White House attaches,
continues to give rather-vague reports
on Mr. Wilson's actual condition.
Note ThouKbt Too Mild.
Those who have been in close touch
with the state department since the
controversy has been raging relative
to the arrest of William O. Jenkins,
consular agent at Puebla. Mexico, ex
pressed disappointment at .what they
termed the mild tone . of Secretary
Lansing's second note to" the Carrania
government, made Riiblic today. It
had been the view that .this note
would be a sharp, terse ultimatum,
something like the historic message
which Roosevelt sent to Morocco
when he demanded the release of the
American citizen Pericardis in this
language:
"We want Pericardis alive or P.ai
suli dead," the latter being the bandit
who was holding Pericardis for ran
som. .
Instead, this second Lansing note,
it was commented, is not even a de
mand, it is 2000 words long and closes
with these words:
"The government of the United
States must renew its request for the
immediate release of Consular Agent
Jenkins from further imprisonment."
It is, therefore, only a request, ac
cording to the view here, and the
mildest form of request possible, be
cause a note of this character which i
fails to fix a time limit for action on
the part of the offending government
is classed as "pussyfoot" diplomacy.
That such a weak note should have
been dispatched after 100,000 Amer
ican soldiers have been mobilized on'
the Mexican border appears to be
what is perplexing students of the
situation.
Conference In Quiet.
The meeting of President Wilson's
new industrial conference here was
about as eventful, as the annual com
ing together of the directors of a
bank. The conference which was
scheduled to be called to order at 2:30
o'clock did not get started until 3.
One-half hour was used in getting
acquainted. ab the end of which time
former Attorney-General Wickersham
was addressing Julius Rosenwald.
Chicago philanthropist, as Julius, and
Herbert Hoover, former federal food
administrator, was coming to be
known among his fellows as just plain
Herbert.
rsmpn Chased Out. .
The first order of business was to
throw out all of the newspaper men.
about 30 of whom had beaten the del
egates to the conference place at the
Pan-American building. -
Secretary Wilson, of the department
of labor, was the first member of the
conference to appear on the scene and
he was visibly disturbed when he
found an army of newspaper men
comfortably seated and ready to take
note of the proceedings.
"I am afraid I am going to have to
disturb you gentlemen after a while,"
' he said apologetically, as if fearful
he would offend. He was then called
upon to tell why the newspaper . re
porters and the public were to be ex
cluded, to which he made this ex
planation: "It is to give the members of the
. conference freedom of thought and
expression in arriv.:,ag at some def
inite basis. Some members will give'
early expression to ideas regarding
which they may change their minds.
This makes us tree to do this without
. being accused of wavering."

LAKE TRACT PURCHASED
VANCOUVER DISTRICT OF 11,-
000 ACRES TO BE RECLAIMED.
Some Objection Encountered to
Draining Bodies of Water.
. Small Farms Planned.
VANCOUVER, Wash., bee. 1. (Spe
cial) The De Long tract of land on
Shallowpool lake, just "north of Van
couver lake, was bought today by H
E. McKenney and associates, who are
to pay J123.000. The land was bought
on option some time ago, and the op
tion was taken, up today with the
payment of $15,000. The deal also
includes the late J. A. Munday, the
Buckmeier and Howland farms, all
bordering on the lake, which is in
cluded in the proposed diking district.
The district to be diked will re
claim about 11,000 acres. It is held
that the land so reclaimed will go to
the owners of the uplands, and has
been so held by a federal court in
It will cost about 55 an acre to
pay for the diking.
Steps have already been taken to
drain Vancouver and Shallowpool
lakes, and some opposition has arisen
for various reasons. Some contend
that Vancouver lake would make a
great harbor if dredged out and a
canal dredged deep enough for ves
sels to enter from Columbia river.
Some fruit growers in the vicinity
allege that the large body of water
has a great effect in keeping the
frost from injuring their fruit trees
In the spring.
On the other handr those in favor
of reclaiming the land show that
there will be many small farms de
veloped on the rich land now the
bottom of the lakes, and that this
will outweigh any opposition to the
plan.

of importance this afternoon except
Poindexter's speech. Democratic dele
gates and delegates to the non-partisan
league state convention held con
ferences to discuss candidates for
state and national offices. South Da
kota normally carries a strong repub
lican majority. It was expected that
the three parties would announce to
night the probable slates to be placed
before conventions tomorrow.
The republican slate was consid
ered practically decided upon this
afternoon, according to state leaders.
Governor Peter Norbeck is the only
candidate mentioned for United States
senator. Senator Ed S. Johnson will
probably be renominated by the
democrats. For gover-nor, it Is ex
pected that the republicans will
nominate W. P. McMaster, of Tank
ton, and the democrats wil; select
W. H. Hawes of Wolsey. It was con
sidered equally certain that Sjuih
Dakota's three congressmen, to re
publicans and one democrat, would
be renominated. C. A. Ohristopher
son. Sioux Falls, in the first district.
And Royal C. Johnson. Aberdeen, in
the second district, are republicans.
The -democratic congressman is Harry
L. Gandy of Rapid City.
Republican state leaders have an
nounced that they were "giving
serious consideration" to a sugges
tion offered by representatives of
"certain presidential candidates," that
the republican state convention defer
the indorsement of any candidate for
president, but permit all candidates
to have their names placed as inde
pendents on the March primary ba.1
lot so that indorsement may be made
by direct popular vote.
Convention Held . Biased.
Senator Poindexter gave to the
press an official copy - of his speech
at the mass meeting.
, The text reads in part as follows:
"In choosing a candidate for presi
dent it is most essential that the Deo
pie should know the principles of
government for which he stands. It
also is important that there should
be a full opportunity for considera
tion and discussion of records, issues
and persons. The actual contest

to submit the issues to the people
to be decided by a direct or prefer
ence vote for president on March 23,
1920.
"A proposal convention is also pro
vided for and it is claimed by Gen

vention had been pledged to General
Wood before it convenes and any
consideration by it, either of candi
dates or issues seems to be precluded.
Q.uentiona Are Submitted.
"I have a big' regard for General

was a friend of Roosevelt, but there
are many friends of Roosevelt whose
position on the paramount problems

law of South Dakota makes joint de

"Did you approve or support the
great principles of government for
which Roosevelt stood?
"Did you vote for his election, or
advocate his policies, either privately
or publicly?
"What is your policy as to fulfilling
our international obligations and pro

"Are you In favor of an immediate

PLEAS ARE ENTERED
IN NEWBERRY CASE
Michigan Senator
swer Indictments
Will An
Monday. BENCH WARRANT ISSUED
All of Indicted Persons Will Be Re
quired to Appear in Court On
or Before Monday.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec 1.
Unexpected progress was made today
by federal officers in preparing the
way for an early trial of the 13
men. including United States Senator
Truman H. Newberry, who were in
dicted by a federal grand Jury here
late Saturday on charges of cor
ruption, fraud and conspiracy in con
nection 'with the Newberry election
campaign In 1918. Service was secured
on a number of those indicted and
first arraignments were held before
Federal Judge C. W. Sessions today,
half a dozen of the defendants ap
pearing in court.
Something of a sensation was
caused today when two of those cited
in the true bills, but whose names did
not appear in the list announced Sat
urday, came before Judge Sessions
and pleaded guilty to counts con
tained in the indictments. These were
William E. Rice, a Grand Rapids
printer, who pleaded guilty to con
spiracy and was released under bond
of $1000. and Allie K. Moore, formerly
a Grand Rapids newspaperman, and
later a publisher at Marquette, Mich.,
who pleaded guilty - to four of six
counts.
Several Appear VolantarUy.
Several others of the 121 whose
names had been withheld pending
service of the warrants, correctly
susDected they had been named in
the indictment and appeared volun
tarily in court today. They included
George E. Rogers, former Grand
Rapids alderman; "George K. Welch,
Kent county manager of the New
berry campaign: Charles Carpenter,
a former member of the Grand Rapids
health board, and Roman F. Gloche
ski, said to have been employed at a
salary of $150 a month to work during
the Newberry campaign among, the
Polish residents of Grand Rapids. All
pleaded not guilty. Glocheski was
held in $2500 bail and the others In
$1000 each.
That a bench warrant had been is
sued for Senator Newberry was indi
cated today when it was said that
Clerk Charles Potter of the federal
court had furnished United States
Marshall O'Conner with one for each
of the 135 persons indicted.
Speculation as to whether Senator
Newberry would attempt to resist
service of a warrant against him was
disposed of when James O. Murfin,
former circuit judge of Detroit, now
of the Newberry counsel, announced
today that the senator would appear
in court next Monday to answer the
indictment.. In some quarters it had
been believed that Senator Newberry
could resist service, if he desired, on
the ground of senatorial immunity.
Prompt Trials Wanted.
Arraignment of the remainder of
the defendants is expected to spread
over the entire week, but all those
named in the indictments. Judge Ses
sions has announced, must appear in
court on or before next Monday. Trial
of the cases will not be permitted
to drag. Judge Sessions indicated to
day, stating that an effort would b
made to complete them before the
1920 presidential election. Judge
Sessions is expected to preside.
A formidable array of legal talent
is expected to appear when the trials
begin. According to belief here, this
will be early in January.- The data
probably will be fixed next Monday.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. .Senator
Newberry of Michigan, who arrived
today for the opening of congress,
would not comment on his indictment
in Michigan.
As Senator Newberry entered the
chamber shortly before the senate
convened, republican senators crowd
ed to his side and shook hands with
him.
Simultaneously with the legal pro
ceedings at Grand Rapids an effort
will be made in the senate to hasten
action on the resolution of Senator
Pomerene, democrat, Ohio, for a sena
torial investigation of the Ford-Newberry
contest in Michigan.
This resolution, introduced several
months ago, was laid aside at the
opening of the Ford . libel suit at
Mount Clemens and never has been
called up. It now is In the hands of
the expenditures committee.
Thorough Inquiry Contemplated.
Senator Pomerene's resolution cov
ers the primaries as well as the sen- j
atorial election itself, and contem
plates inquiry into the campaign ex
penditures of Senator Newberry and
of Henry Ford, his democratic oppo
nent. Many of the men indicted are ex
pected to have their individual at
torneys, but Senator Newberry, it is
said, has offered the services of his
attorneys to all the defendants.
A number of deputy United States
marshals are expected to be occupied
all of this week, from Lake Superior
to the Ohio border, serving bench
warrants for those indicted. The dep
uties have been given authority to
accept bail, but the amount in each
case is indorsed on the warrant by
Judge Sessions. None of those named
in the indictments would discuss the
case, with the exception of Paul H
King, Newberry s campaign mana
ger, who declared at petroit yester
day that the investigation and action
of the grand jury were political. .

AUTO VICTIM IS KILLED
CHARLES CRAIGHEAD CATTGHT
BETWEEN CARS IX DARK. '
Motorist Caught While Mending
Tire on Road, but County
Official Is Exonerated.
EUGENE. Or., Dec. 1. (Special.)
Charles Craighead, aged 45 years, of
oCttage Grove, died at Mercy hospital
In Eugene early today as sf result of
injuries received Saturday night when
a car driven by George H. Waggoner,
deputy county surveyor, struck him
as he and John Rice, also of Cottage
Grove, were working with a tire on
a car owned by Rice. The accident
happened on the Pacific highway,
five miles south of Eugene.
Not until he was within a few feet
of the men working with the tire did
he see them, Waggoner said, and he
barely had time to turn out to avoid
a collision with the car, but Craighead
was caught between the two ma
chines. An autopsy revealed the fact that
three of Craighead's ribs were broken
and that one of them had penetrated
his left lung. The coroner's jurv
later declared that the accident was
unavoidable because of the darkness
and fixed no responsibility.
Upon information furnished by a
sou of Waggoner, who rode into town
in Rice's car to assist the injured
man. Rice was arrested on the charge
of unlawful possession of liquor.

CANCER
To Whom It May Concern:
December 1911.
Salem.. Ore. -
This Is to certify that I had a can
cer on my lower Hp of three years
standing which worried me greatly. 1
went to Dr. S. C. Stone for treatment.
He applied a liquid for six days and
then an ointment, and in a few days
the cancer came out and the place
healed up nicely. This was last Au
gust. I can conscientiously recommend
Dr. Stone and his treatment of cancer.
W. J. BROWN.
Salem, Oregon.
The above certificate was tendered
by Mr. Brown unsolicited in apprecia
tion of Dr. Stone's services.
