WORK FOR NEW ERA
OF GAME LIFE URGED
Louis E. Bean Asks Anglers
to 'Forget Petty Jealousies.'
CO-OPERATION IS OFFERED
Lane County Representative Re
views Krforls in BrliaU of i'isli
and Game DcTOlopmcnt.
In defiance of what he characterized
as their unfair and destructive policy,
Louis K. Bean, state representative
from Lane county, stood up before
the members of the Multnomah " An
glers' club and pleaded with them to
forget their petty jealousies and con
tinual efforts to retard the work of
the fish and game commission in or
der that a new era might be opened up
on behalf of the game and fish life
of the state.
For more than an hour Mr. Bean
sat in the room, hearing indictment
after indictment hurled' at him by
Arthur I. Moulton. He had been char
acterized as a boss politician; a man
who controlled the Oregon legislature,
and a man whose political machina
tions had- brought about a condition
of chaos in the game and fish life of
the state. There were but a few
members in the room who knew of his
presence, but on motion of Dr. Chestrr
C. Moore, Multnomah county repre
sentative in the legislature, he was
permitted to address the meeting.
'Ucstrnctlve Hoi icy" Rapped.
"I want to say that if you men
epent one-half the time and interest
in a constructive policy in fish and
pame affairs you would do more good
than you can over" hope to do under
present conditions," Mr. Bean said.
"Though I hate to say it, it is true
that the officers of your own Mult
nomah Anglers' club and the officers
of the Oregon Sportsmen's league are
carrying on this policy of destruc
tion." Mr. Bean then traced fish and game
legislation in the state legislature
since he first became a member of
that body more than ten years ago.
He told them frankly and openly of
the controversy over the game farm
in Lane county, which is one of the
particular objects against which the
guns of the anglers' club are trained.
"We urged the purchase of that
farm In Lane county in order that we
might propagate more Chinese pheas
ants for you Portland sportsmen to
hunt when you come down into the
valley during the fall, and yet at
every step which is taken lawsuits are
filed' and nothing is left undone to
halt this progressive game work," he
challenged.
Co-Operation Is Offered.
Mr. Bean told the members that he
had been an ardent sportsman all his
life; that he had at all times worked
for the betterment of the wild life
of the state and still wanted to work
with the Portland sportsmen if they
would only get behind the commission
and make an honest effort to bring
about better conditions. Despite the
indictments of Mr. Moulton, Mr. Bean
asserted time after time that he had
worked in close co-operatiop with
W ill Finley when the latter was state
game warden; that many of the laws
which the Multnomah anglers are now
Baying are vicious are laws which
were put on the statute books by Mr.
Finley when he was game warden.
In referring to the recent legisla
five act creating the new commission,
Mr. Bean admitted it probably was
not what it should be, but he said that
he stood ready to help enact a similar
law if by so doing he would retain
the present commission.
Frank Warren Landed.
I have heard much said here to
night -against Frank Warren, whom
speakers have alleged controls this
commission," he said. "But I want to
tell you that Frank Warren will go
farther than any man among you to
see that the sportsmen of-this state
get a fair and square deal. Look
what we are doing at our hatchery
clown in Lane county, w"here we have
700,000 rainbow trout ready for dis
tribution. It is Frank Warren's
salmon industry which is making this
propagation down there possible."
Mr. Moulton, law partner of W. P.
Lord, attorney for the anglers' club,
gave a complete review of the fish and
game legislation at the extra session,
and asserted it to be unconstitutional.
He was particularly bitter in his de
nunciation of the fish and game com
mission and of Representative Bean,
whom he charged was largely respon
sible for the legislation. He gave It
as his opinion that at the present time
the state has no fish and game com
mission, and he also branded the elec
tion of State Senator Gill as a'mem-
ber of the commission as a piece of
"foolish and unconstitutional" legis
lation, although he lauded the ability
of Senator Gill.
Senator Gill spoke hijefly, during
which he urged the anglers to dis
continue their present policy of hin
dering the commission and endeavor
to work with them for the best inter
ests of the state as a whole.
Stop A n tugoniMiii, Is Plea.
"I advise that we get away as far
as possible from the spirit of an
tagonism in order that the commis
sion may be more efficient and serve
to more advantage." he pleaded.
Dr. Chester C Moore advised his
fellow members that "the Multnomah
Anglers' club is not the state of Ore
gon," and he further told them that
after a thorough and open-minded in
vestigation he had found the present
fish and game commission to be doing
everything possible in the interests of
the sportsmen and for that reason he
refused to be a party to any move
ment which would result in their
overthrow.
After Mr. Moulton had ridiculed the
work being done in Oregon for the
propagation of fish, R. K. Clanton.
master fish warden, jumped to his
Xeet and challenged Mr. Moulton or
any other person to prove that his
best efforts at all times have not been
put forward in the interest of trout
propagation. He said that Seth Rob
erts, who had made the recent fish
and game investigation for Governor
Olcott at a cost to the state of $3500,
had admitted to him that some of the
figures in his report relating to the
fishing industry were not correct.
In spite of the pleas of Representa
tive Bean, Senator Gill and others for
harmony, the club passed a motion
instructing its executive board to take
the necessary steps which will result
in determining the validity and con
stitutionality of the new fish and
game commission.

of $10.
Before leaving the robbers put Mr.
Brockman and Mr. Heucr in the base
ment of the establishment. '
The Standard Oil filling station at
Thirteenth and Btirnside streets was
held up at 9 P. M. on January 13, by
two men. The robbers took $30 from
the cash register and $100 from F. M.
Winniford, who was in charge of the
place.
Last Oarage llold-l p Denied.
The Nob Hill pharmacy. Twenty
first and G-tisan streets, is the last
job which is said to have been con
fessed by the men, and occurred on
the night of January 16. at 10:25.
The three unmasked highwaymen
made their escape in an automobile
after robbing the four occupants of
the store of about $33, four gold
watches and two diamond rings.
Pretending to purchase a package
of chewing gum, one of the men held
up E. W. Recken, 303 North Twenty
first street, proprietor of the phar
macy, as he was making change at the
till. Mr. Recken, Karl Dunlap. who
lives at the same afldress as Recken,
Dr. E. M. Senn, 706 Overton street,
and Thomas Randies, 666 Glisan
street, who were in the store at the
time, were lined up and robbed.
Randies lost his watch, chain and
pocketbook containing $5; "Recken
lost a diamond ring of value, his
watch and $10 taken from the cash
register; Dunlap lost his watch and a
pocketbook containing $7. and Dr.
Senn lost $12 or $15, his watch and a

Clan Maeleay 3Vo. 122 Celebrates

SCOTCHMEN resident in this and
nearby cities who attended the
concert of Scotch music, and tory,
given last night in Masonic temple
auditorium, by Clan Maeleay No. 122,
Order of Scottish Clans, were hailed
as brave men when, clad in kilts and
other evidences of their nationality,
they walked from their homes and
faced the cold wind that blew from
the northeast. It was a cruel test for
bare knees, but no Scotch merrymaker
flinched, or asked to be excused. It
was a kilt night and kilts were pre
ferred to pants.
The occasion was the observance by'
Clan Maeleay of the 161st anniversary I
of the birth of Robert Burns, Scot
land's national poet, who first saw
the light of day, January 25, 1759. The
observance of Burns birth was held
last night, as being more convenient.
The hall was crowded by an audi
ence consisting of men, women
and children and much enthusiasm
reigned. Pipe Major McDonald was
dressed in trowing tartans and, wear
ing his army medals, played Scotch
music on his bagpipes and short ad
dresses on Scotch topics were made
by Chief A. W. Hutcheon and Royal
Chief A. G. Finley.
Songs were sung in stirring, enjoy
able fashion by Mrs. Eloise Hall Cook,
Mrs. Lulu Dahl Miller, J. Macmillan
Muir, Dr. Stuart McGuire and John
Webster. The latter is a member of
the Clan Maeleay, and, dressed in
Rob Roy tartan, he sang and the audi
ence heartily sang with him, a new
song sung by Harry Lauder, the re
frain of which is:
Every laddie loves a lassie,
Whether she be dark or fair;
Every lassie loves a laddie,
- Just because the love lies there.
The piano accompaniments were
supplied by J. R. Hutchison and violin
solos were played by Miss Helen
Harper. Scotch dances were danced
by the Misses Mathie and Clansman
Gray Purvis, in costume.
A dance followed, the dance card
calling for 10 dances, with extras.
Opposition Conies From Pro-Ger
mans, Anti-British and Sinn I'eln,
and Is Source of Strength.
OREGOMAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 23. Herbert Hoover's
boom for president precipitated by
the New York World on Wednesday
continued today to obscure every
thing else in national politics. The
general attitude toward him was more
friendly among politicians and lead
ers, and a very much larger ndmber
of the real leaders permitted them
selves to be quoted.
Mr. Hoover appeared perceptibly
strengthened by the eharp personal
attacks made upon him by the pro
Germans, the anti-British and the
Sinn Feiners. It is impossible to
avoid coupling, these three groups in
this manner by reason of the fact
that they all travel in the same direc
tion and keep much the same com
pany. Their impelling motives may
be different, but their methods are eo
identical that there is no way to sepa
rate them here in WashingNjn.
The first attacks made on Mr.
Hoover as a candidate came from the
sources mentioned, and carried the
statement that'he was a Britisher and
not an American. It was said that
"Who's Who," the British publication
carried his biography with the state
ment that ho was a member of the
liberal party in England. It has not
been possible to verify this.
27 Tears Spent In England.
It was further said, and it appears
to be true, that almost 27 years of
Mr. oHover's life has? been spent in
England, his principal investments
being in British mining companies.
This, of course, offers the best argu
ment against him for those who are
fond of twisting the lion's tail.
Republicans as well as democrats
of the strongly American type seemed
to realize today the necessity of fair
er treatment for Mr. Hoover, and the
most of the interviews given out by
public men were friendly. The
grangers and the 'Dairymen's league,
of course, announced their determined
opposition, reiterating their charges
that the farmers were not treated
fairly by Mr. Hoover during the war
in the matter of price-fixing. Sena
tor Kenyon of Iowa, who was quoted
yesterday as suggesting "Read Who's
Who in England"- as his only com
ment, wa3 more complimentary today.
McXary Sees No Chance.
Senator Poindexter said, "I would
be delighted to see Mr. Hoover nomi
nated by the democrats," while Sena
tor McNary said, "Mr. Hoover is a
very good man but has not a look-in
for- the nomination of either party."
There are evidences that a Hoover
organization will be under way in a
short time, but from the fact that
most of the men who are active in
his interest are republicans it appears
more than likely that they will put
him forth as a republican candidate.
The organization of Hoover clubs,
it is understood, is to be a non-parti-
san. .movement, but the primary iawa
of most of the states are so definite
that it will be necessary for Mr.
Hoover's backers to say in a short
time which nomination they seek for
him.
Raymond B. Stevens, vice-chairman
of the shipping board and a one-term
democratic member of congress from
New Hampshire, has filed as a Hoover
candidate for delegate from New
Hampshire to the democratic national
convention.
-Republicans snow no concern over
the possible developments of the
Hoover candidacy, but democrats are
visibly disturbed, the fear apparently
being that the rank and file of the
party cannot be controlled by the pol
iticians who are opposed to him.

Think These Things Over
Burglary insurance is not expensive.
For a few dollars you are protected against loss .
or damage occasioned by burglars.
A small extra premium protects you against all
kinds of thieving and larceny in your home
and garage.
Seven-eighths of the burglary losses reported to
the insurance companies occur in premises
that are occupied which disproves the idea
that burglars work in vacant homes only. The
goods are seldom recovered.
Money, Liberty bonds and jewelry are not the
only things taken. In fact, 40 of the stolen
property consists of clothing, rugs and other
household articles.
House-breaking is on the increase; burglars and
sneak-thieves are more daring; watchmen are
outwitted; dogs are chloroformed and, in
some cases, stolen; burglar alarms fail; serv
ants steal.
Burglaries are usually accompanied by damage
to the premises. A Travelers' policy covers
this. The policy can be extended to cover
highway robbery or personal hold-up.
Your home may be the next to be robbed.

?
"To make a wide impression" on the elements of discontent in the Punjab, according to their
commander, Brig.-Gen. R. E. H. Dyer, British and Indian troops fired without warning last
April on a meeting of Indians at Amritsar, killing five hundred persons and wounding about
fifteen hundred in ten minutes. This action is now being investigated by a committee headed
by Lord Hunter. .The violent outbreaks of disorder in Calcutta, Bombay, and the Punjab,
eventuated from the "passive-resistance" movement against the Rowlatt Act, which is directed
at revolutionary and anarchical -crime, and is made necessary by the attempts to overthrow
British rule in India. Agitators seized upon this measure, the London Morning Post tells us,
to organize an agitation which "threatened the very existence of British rule in India." Events
in Afghanistan, and even in Bolshevik Russia, "may or may not have had a connection with this
movement.". , f
