CONTROVERSY TO RESUME Senator Owen Predicts Wilson Would Accept Reservations Voted by Two - Thirds of Senate. WASHINGTON". D. C Jan. 18. While senate leaders in the peace treaty controversy today prepared for resumption tomorrow of the bi-partisan conference on compromise res ervations to effect ratification. Sena tor Borah, republican. Idaho, made public a letter to Major-General Leon ard Wood, candidate for the republic an presidential Domination, requesting- his views on treaty questions and Senator Owen, democrat, Oklahoma, issued a statement regarding the com promise negotiations of which he is the sponsor. Senator Owen declared that 40 dem ocratic senators would support "rea sonable reservations' and predicted that President Wilson would accept reservations adopted by two-thirds of the senate. Mr. Owen deplored reports of disagreement between President Wilson and former Secretary of State Bryan. Definite outcome of the bi-partisan compromise- conferences is expected this week. Leaders continued today to be far from optimistic. Senator Borah, in his letter to Gen eral Wood, asked two principal ques tions as follows: "1. Are you in favor of giving the people an opportunity of passing upon this question in the only way now provided by which they can pass upon it by bringing it before them as an insue in the approaching campaign? Do you think it would be fair to the people of this country under the pre tense of making a treaty to adopt a scheme which would result in the abandonment of our traditional for eign policy without taking their Judgment upon the matter? May we ask your views upon this entire matter aside from your views as to the propriety of sub mitting it to the people? Would you, as a candidate and as a president if you were elected, seek to maintain the foreign policies of this govern ment heretofore prevailing or would you be willing to abandon them? Would you lend your influence and your power ae president to maintain and preserve the policy of foreign powers with American affairs, or would you be willing to have the United States enter into an alliance or partnership or league with Euro pean and Asiatic nations?" country, even t':r !iirarlt-s and inves-l tli;ator. a lariic pcrtion of the labo liierature of Europe Labor Dertarrd Mrmvrd.

Miss Alice Genevieve Smith was the harp soloist, and she and her golden harp were both objects of interest.1 The harp behaved well, and its strings; didn't break.

The interstate commerce com mission has notified the public serv ice commission of this state that time to file objections to the findings fa voring an Oregon freight rate dif ferential, made by Henry Therbel. in terstate commission examiner, had been extended to February 10. Under the statutory limitation the protest period would have expired January 27, which did not allow the public Rervlce commission, working In con junction with Seattle and Tacoma chambers of commerce and Puget sound shippers' organizations, suffi cient time in which fully to present their objections at Washington city when the examiner's report is taken under final consideration by the in terstate commerce commission. Traffic Expert Biiit. It is understood that Scott Z. Hen derson, former assistant attorney-general and legal adviser to the public service commission, will be retained to present the Puget sound protest before the interstate commerce com mission at Washington city. He is now assembling the necessary show ing oi injustice to Puget sound ship ping proposed In the Oregon differ ential findings. O. O. Calderhead, traffic expert for the Washington commission, is now preparing rate comparisons and de ductions to show that the whole northwestern freight carrying sltua lion win be dislocated and will have to be revised if the interstate com, merce commission undertakes to siis in the Thertel findings, decreeing Portland a favorable differential over Puget sound because of the river grade haul and shorter mileage. durations to Be Raised. Application of the cost of operation basis to freight charges will immedi ately raise the question of readjust ing freight rates across Washington east and west in conformance with the shorter route advantage which the Milwaukee railroad commands over the Great Northern and North ern Pacific between Seattle and Spo kane. Reduced cost of electrical op eration will also demand considera tion and an entire readjustment of the present rate-making system of the country will be introduced bv adoption or tne Portland cost of op eration and amount of mileage plan as tne state commission now views the case. It is believed that the Union Pa cific lines operating to Portland from territory in this state south. of Snake river will' not entertain the proposal of a decrease from their present rates and consideration of the Thertel findings convinces the commission tnat no such decrease is contem plated.

NEAR EAST RELIEF WORKERS TO PLAN DRIVE. County Chairman and Leaders From AH Parts of Stale lo Gather at Benson. To hundreds of Portland's little boys and girls yesterday was a day graven forever upon their memories. Many tot went to sleep last night happy with thoughts of Bmiles of recognition from their hero. For had not Jonn J. Pershing, general of the American army and conqueror of the German hordes, visited Portland and Bingled them out specially for his favor? Perhaps no visitor of national fame has ever come to Portland to whom the children have so naturally been drawn or who has shown such a keen interest in the youngsters and made every effort possible to respona to the idealism in their hearts as aid General Pershing yesterday. Time after time the general picked out children alon;? his route for special greeting while the grown-ups had to be satisfied as onlookers only, lnus it was from the time that impetuous little Dorothy Hawkins intercepted the general's automobile in the line of march to give him a box ot candy, until the moment that little Jean Abercrombie on behalf of Portland, presented the general with a bouquet of Oregon's world-famed roses at the Auditorium last night. Perhaps it was the thought of his own son. Warren, now 9 years old, whom he left behind him at Lincoln,' Neb., only a short time ago, after having spent the Christmas holidays at his old home, that moves the general to be so thoughtful of the lit tle children, or perhaps it is the re membrance of his three little daugh ters, who, with Mrs. Pershing, lost their lives in the disastrous Presidio fire of August 27, 1915. Whatever the inspiration, the fact was yester day many times demonstrated that he is a great admirer of children. I From his automobile the general took particular pains to single out the children and answered all salutes from the youngsters with military exactness and a smile that went straight to the childish heart. On the trip to Vancouver a tow-headed youngster whose clothes were all patches and holes was standing dis consolately at the curb, when sud denly he recogniied the general ap proaching in his car. The youngster put his hand to his head in an ama teur salute, and, although there was no one on the street for a block or more, the general leaned far out of his car to answer with a salute and a smile. "The reception which the general has received from the children every where on the trip has been inspiring," said Colonel George C. Marshall. "Children are like the dumb animals, they know their friends instinctively, and incident after incident has hap pened on the trip, evidences of child ish love and awe, which has brought tears to the general's eyes." Landlords to Be Held to Straight and Narrow' Path, Says In ternal Revenue Officer. WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. Through) me uuiieciioD oi taxes on 1919 in- i comes, the first step in which will be taken tomorrow, the government will wage war on profiteering landlords with "sweet revenge" in prospect for "the tenant who has had to dig deep into his earnings to pay a high rental in 1919." First intimation of this new aspect came tonight In announcement by Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of the bureau of internal revenue, that forms for making income tax re turns, which will be in the hands of all internal revenue collectors and ready for distribution tomorrow, will contain a section providing that ten 'ants shall include in their statements the amount of rent paid and to whom it was paid. This information will be turned over to the department of justice to be used in Its high cost of living investigation. Tenants to Do Driving. "The tenants are doing the driving and holding the whip," Mr. Roper said. "Profiteering landlords will be held to the straight and narrow path in the payment of their income taxes. Revenge is sweet to the tenant who has had to dig deep into his earnings to pay a high rental in 1919. Gather ing his family around him, he takes his scratchy pen in hand, and with the last drop of ink in the bottle in forms the commissioner of internal revenue that he. Bill Brown, of the Hallroom Apartments, paid to John Smith, 13 Profiteer avenue, S1200 for his three-room flat in 1919. "By gathering these reports from all of the Bill Browns who are run ning themselves ragged to pay their rent, the internal revenue bureau will have all of the information needed to see that the profiteer John Smiths pay proper tax or face prosecution." Work Expected to Be Heavy. While the work of collecting the income tax will be just as heavy this year as it was in 1919, the govern ment will receive less revenue. In stead of collecting 6 per cent on in comes between $2000 and $4000 from married persons as was done last year, only 4 per cent will be col lected this time. Single persons will get an exemption of $1000 as provided under the previous revenue law. On Incomes above $4000 the normal tax will be 8 per cent tnstead of 12 per cent as last year. But the surtax begins operation at $4000 and con tinues upward until the government will assess t0 per cent of annual in comes above $1,000,000. Internal revenue officials will send income tax forms to all persons who paid taxes last year. Others who are taxable must apply to the collector. Mr. Roper warned that there would be unswerving enforcement of the revenue laws and that "punishment will be meted out and per, Ities ap plied without fear or favor this year, since all persons are familiar with the law. Returns and at least one-fourth of the amount due must be in the hands of internal revenue collectors by March 15.

"We oppose this bill because every legitimate purpose for which it is framed is already covered by exist ing law. Its illegitimate features, which compose two-thirds of the draft, are utterly autocratic, im perialistic and un-American." Referring to Attorney-General Pal mer's contention that new laws are necessary to reach the individual who advocates "opposition to the government by violence," Mr. Gom pers cited section 4 of the penal code and asked: "If revolution is afoot, why has not the department of justice made prosecutions under that .sec tion?"

DEMPSEY LEGION TOPIC Portland Post May Discuss War Record of Pugilist Tonight. Whether or not Jck Dempsey, world's champion heavyweight pug" illst, should be branded as a "slacker" is one of the questions which is ex pected to come up at tonight's meet ing of the Portland post of the Amer ican Legion. Various posts of the American Le gion have scored Dempsey as a slacker, as one who "apparently skulked in hiding from the draft boards" during the late war, and the post at El Paso, Texas, even has seen fit to vote 2o to wager on Georges Carpcntier in the coming fight for the world s championship between tne wo heavyweights.
