The officers found at his cabin five quarts of liquor, 4U gallons of raisin mash and part of a still made from a coiloil can, and a tea kettle.. ne otner aeienaant is U.

Both, the prisoners are to be prosecuted in the local courts and then turned over to the federal au thorities. ever with the democratsand secondly, against any change in the Lodge reservations. This view was outlined in Senator Johnson's statement after the conference broke up. "After months of debate and de liberation," said Senator Johnson, "the senate agreed to a set of reserva tions which represent a compromise. It was admitted by everybody that these reservations, called the Lodge reservations, were the very limit that should be done for the protection of America. In the language of Senator Lodge, then constituted an Irreducible minimum.' Personally. I am unable to see how there can be any compro mise upon the least possible protec tion to American or European reser vations which are the 'irreducible minimum' in safeguarding American institutions. To me there can be no compromise with American honor or American protection." NEW TREASURER NAMED STXTIXG TURNS OVER POST TO ARTHUR, W. BROOKINGS.

Sentiment Is rising, he declared, for an independent presl dential candidate because of the sen ate delay. The conference of republicans with Senator Lodge late today was held in Senator Johnson's office and attended by Senators Borah, Knox of Pennsyl vania, Poindexter of Washington, Sherman and McCormick of Illinois, Brandegee of Connecticut and Moses of New Hampshire. After two hours spent with Mr. Lodge, Senator New - of Indiana, who is sitting with Mr. Lodge on the leader's committee ne gotlating with the democratic com tmlttee, was called in, and about as- other hour spent in spirited discus sion. Although all of the senators who called on Messrs. Lodge and New voted last November against ratlfica tion of the treaty and are counted among its bitterest foes, one of thos present declared tonight that the count on support of three votes, or enough to prevent ratification. If the! protest against modifying the Lodge reservations Is not heeded. Treaty Compromise DlMcnaaed. Except for brief statements from Senators Lodge and Johnson and lengthy statement from Senator Sher man, few of the senators participat' ing in the conference would talk fo publication. Mr. Lodge said the gena tors, who called him to the meetin represented "a large group of sena tors, who want no change In th Lodge reservations." Senator John eon declared that the Lodge reserva tions were said by Mr. Lodge to be ""the irreducible" minimum. Others 1 the meeting stated privately that th question of a treaty comprdmise on "republican solidarity and leadership In the county" was discussed. "Were there any threats to bolt the republican leadership or the . party?" was asked of one of the re publican conferees. "I would rather not answer that question," came a hesitant reply. "Tarty solidarity Is threatened; that is all I care to say." Senator Johnson was asked regard ing reports widely circulated In sena ate lobby gossip, that declarations had been made of a third party move ment and a "bolt" from republican senate leadership of the Lodge reser vations are modified, and the Cali fornia senator replied: Poppycock; I haven t such a thought." Lodge Kxplnlnn Meeting?. Senator Lodge said the meeting was to give Information to senators pres ent regarding the compromise nego tiations with the democratic committee. "They represent a large . body of senators who want no change in the Lodge reservations," said Mr. Lodge. To the suggestion that all of those present except himself and Senator New are identified with the treaty's foes, Mr. Lodge answered: "We must present the question to ell sides. That was understood in undertaking tho negotiations with the democrats. We republicans, in meet Itit the democratic leaders, represent nobody but ourselves. Anything we !o is tentative and must be referred back. Those present today wanted to know what we had done. Beyond this, Sentor Lodge d rlined to comment other than to state that another bi-partisan meeting of tho leaders' committees would be held tomorrow. Other senators in today's council, however, stated that no text ual drafts of proposed compromise reservations were considered. The principal protest of th elgTit perm tors to Mr. Lodge and Mr. New It was stated, was against holding suj compromise negotiation what- caster, state chairman of the near east relief, to the post of state treas urer for tills philanthropical organ ization, to succeed Ben Selling, who has served in this office for the past four years. 'Mr. Brookings will at once take over all near east relief funds and will have charge of all contributions turned in during the approaching near east relief campaign," said Chairman Lancaster last night. "We regret exceedingly that we must lose Mr. Selling as treasurer, but he has had the responsibilities of the office for four years and we cannot insist upon his longer keeping the office since he pleads the pressure of other matters In tendering bif resignation. Mr. Selling will continue to take air active part In near east relief work, we are glad to say." Mr. Brookings, the new treasurer, has been for 17 years identified with the Ladd & Tllton bank. He started in at the bank as assistant bookkeep er, and has steajily advanced. On the first of this year he was promot ed from the position of auditor to that of assistant cashier.

Unless circumstances spoil the pro gramme. United States Senator Poin texter will swing-through Washing ton next month, or at least before the republican state convention is , held and probably will fill speaking en gagements in other northwestern states about the same time. The junior senator, friands here say. is coming west to put more "Jazz " in his presidential campaign. Long ago nearly everyDody active In repuDli can state and county politics formally Indorsed Poindexter and assured him the state delegation would vote for him at Chicago. The thing has been regarded as settled, and even those other presidential candidates who would like to count Washington's 14 votes have conceded that Poindexter had first call. Poliexter Hot Satisfied. This seemed to roost republican leaders to be sufficient. In fact, when recent inquiries have been made by Poindexter's eastern friends the lead ers in this state have set forth the facts and demanded to know whether the work is sufficient, and If not what more could be done. Lack of this, eastern friends point ont, Is rather discouraging to propa gandists who need something of i news tint to put over every day. Poindexter, they assert, has been mak ing strong inroads In the east, but the echoing applause Is not coming from his home sector. That is why It is declared positively - that Poin dexter will be out this way next month. . Whether he can arrange matters to drop in at Seattle about February when the republican state committee and the 39 county chairmen meet at Billy Pott's hotel and the young men's republican club banquet at the Hippo drome is doubtful, but that he is com ing is said to be certain. Republican politicians who nave been taxed with neglect of the Poin dexter boom insist the fault all lies in his eastern headquarters. This state has not been kept Informed of his doings or bis wishes, they say, Early last summer Howard Rice, sec retary to Senator Poindexter, made hurried trip through the state, and later everybody of active prominence In the party signed up an indorse ment of Poindexter's candidacy, and that was about the last heard from eastern headquarters. ; Wishes Not Known. Chairman Walker has expected an intimation from Poindexter as to the time he wished the republican state convention held, and there is no doubt Walker and his friends on the com mittee would fix a date agreeable to the senator if they knew what be wanted. George H. Walker, who is registered as the Poindexter representative here, has been told once in a while wha was happening in the east, but has not been informed that it also 1 necessary to keep the home fires burning. In fact, neither of the Walkers has been informed! that there were any home fires to keep going. Already steps have been taken to put more life In the Poindexter move aent here, and the next step will be a personal visit, his friends say. He was married to Sarah Florence Hall In 1878.

HILLSBORO. Or Tan. ffiriK. clal.) Dr. Francis A. Bailey, pioneer physician of Washington county and widely known throughout the state, died this morning following an at- tacK ofc pneumonia a week ago. He was born January 28. 1839. in Hardeman county, Tennessee, and after attending Lebanon college In that state pursued his medical studies n St. Louis.

In 1864 he was appointed physician on one of tho Hudson Bay company steamers running between St. Louis and the head of navigation on the Missouri river. Leaving the boat at the end of its trip he proceeded overland through Missouri and Idaho to Ore gon, reaching Uillsboro, October 20, 1864. Having taught school In Tennessee. he secured a position as teacher of a scnooi in Scogglns valley with an agreement that he could also orao tlco his profession, but the demands of the latter, soon became so great that he resigned his school position and began his visits to the sick in all parts of the county. These he con tinued practically without Interrup tion until the week before his death. He was widely known as a physician and had served twice as president of tne state Medical society.

He was made a Mason in 1881 and had been master of Hlllsboro lodge many times since. He is survived by his widow, who was Miss Letitia A. Chambers, whom he married in ISSfi, and the following sons and daughters: Dr. Francis J. Bailey of Hlllsboro, Dr. A. B. Bailey and Dr. T. C. Bailey of Portland, J. W.
