Commission Is Told., That City Is Center of Greatest 'Prospect lve Development. '. OREGON I AN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Aug. 18. Application was made today to the federal water power commission by the Portland Chamber of Commerce to have the City of Portland made western head quarters for the commission. In the request, filed it was pointed out with ample facts that Portland is the center of the greatest potential hydro-electric energy of any known ity of the world. Also, it was shown that the lareest prospective develop ments of the immediate future are I likely to take place in the region most economically and properly served from Portland. - The request points' out that a large part of the water power ac credited to the state of x Washing ton and also to Idaho are' on a rail way rate basis and by all means of communication in the near vicinity f Portland and that . California's greatest power resources, namely, in the northern part. of the. state, are bout as near Portland as San Fran cisco. In addition to these arguments, it is further shown that Portland is headquarters for the forestry serv ice of the Pacific northwest and that close relationship will naturally be found in administering the water power act and also the forestry laws. A limited fund Is available for ad ministration of the' power act and it is not decided yet what can be done in the way of opening offices out- de the national headquarters here n the capital.

EUGENE, Or., Aug.. IS. (Special.) During the first 15 days of August 29 fires were ."picked up" by the forest patrol planes, leaving the Eu gene base, with a possibility of about 60 more reported by the Medford patrols, according to C. W. Boyce, liaison officer of the local base, who is in charge of the work of the state forest service. , These fires range in size from a single snag to 300 acres. Patrols flying in the northern area yesterday were unable to follow the course in the extreme northern part of the state because of a heavy bank of clouds which obstructed the view The ships on the south patrol were compelled to fly at an altitude of 16,000 feet in order to see through the haze. This Is the highest altitude ever flown by the . forest patrol planes. NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 18. The amendment extending equal suf frage to men and women was rati fied today, the Tennessee house vot ing 50 to 46 to concur in the senate resolution adopted Friday, 25 to 4 The action made Tennessee the 36th stato to approve the amendment, which lacked tonight. only formal cer tification by Secretary of State Colby to- complete Its acceptance. There Is still a possibility that the rouse may rescind its action. At the last moment Speaker Walker, anti suffragist leader, changed his vote from "no" to "aye," paving the way for a motion to reconsider. Under house rules he can present such motion within the next two legisla tive days. Millions of Women to Vote. Should today's vote be confirmed or the house fail to take further ac tton before adjournment Friday, 17,000,000 women will be fjee to vote in the presidential election. Only sue ccssful litigation contesting the legal right of this legislature to ratify th section would prevent them.- Steps for such a test of the pro Ision of the Tennessee constitution Involved already have been taken by tbe Tennessee constitutional league. Ninety-six of the 99 members of the house were present today and the alignment on a vote on concurrence as taken was a tie, each faction poll ing 48 votes on a motion by Mr. Walker to table the resolution. On the ballot for concurrence the line-up was 49 to 47 ; until the speaker changed his vote. This apparently would give suffragists an advantage of only two votes, but their leaders tonight declared that members in favor of suffrage who were absent today would arrive probably tomor row. suffragists to Be ZVeady. The motion to reconsider may be carried by a majority vote of the members present, and since Mr. Walker can act without a moment's notice, suffragists planned to be on hand in full force the next two days. Suffrage leaders said they expected no defections, but as a precaution were tightening their lines tonight while opposition leaders were waging an active campaign to increase their strength. The end came suddenly. Debate on the motion to concur had been in progress little more than an hour and there was no indication a vote was Imminent when Speaker Walker called Representative Overton to the chair and took the floor to reply to a suffragist who had charged special Interests wero at work to defeat rati fication.

A scholarly looking highwayman with tortoise-shell glasses held up two taxicabs last night, obtained $32 and the second taxi, and made his es cape in the stolen automobile after telephoning news of his exploit to a newspaper.

Every member of the cabinet except Postmaster-General Burleson is to go on the stump lor Cox. This Is said In Washington to be the latest White House edict. Mr. Burleson will be kept out of the show window for the most obvious reasons. Governor Cox having permitted Mr. Wilson to brand him with "Article X," the president believes it behooves his administration to do all possible to elect the democratic nominee. It ia said that the speech made by Secre tary of War Baker has been placed before all the members of the cabinet. Each of Mr. Wilson's ministers has been told to study the Baker speech and use it as a model for their public utterances in behalf of the presiden tial candidate. Orders are to stress the league of nations and article X. Wets Declared Tied T7p. The Baltimore Sun, unwavering sup porter of the Wilson administration and just as ardent an advocate of Cox and a modi ti cation of the Volstead en forcement act, declares that the demo cratic nominee has the "wet" vote won and is free to make the campaign now on the league issue. The Sun says: "Democratic leaders seem convinced that whether or not their candidate makes any further bid for the . wet vote he will get the bulk of it- They figure that that vote has no other place to go. Senator Harding can make no appeal to it, having voted for the 18th amendment and the Volstead act, they argue, and . the republican party in most states where prohibition is still an issue being on the dry side of the fence. This is particularly true in New York, New Jersey and Maryland. Wilson lleeord Held Liberal. "Moreover, it is iointed out, Pres ident Wilson has a straight out lib eral record in the matter of prohl bition. He not only made a plea to congress for the repeal of war-time prohibition and followed it with a recommendation that beer and light wines be exempted from the enforce ment law, but he went further and ve toed the Volstead act, an act fathered and passed by a republican congress. Later it was passed over his veto under republican leadership. Drya to Be Sought, Too. "Because of these circumstances, it is assumed that the liberals will give their support to the democratic ticket. "Although his friends still hold to the view that it is necessary for Cox to carry New York. New Jersey and Ohio In order to win in November, three states which are presumed to be wet, these friends are advising him not to drive dry democrats into the republican party, however Impor tant the wet vote may bo to him. As already stated, they believe he will get the wets anyway, and that there is no need of alienating the drys." Four. Proposals to Be Submitted at Assembly Nov. 15 Paragraph XllI Modified.

The American and French governments are In agree ment In principle as to the future of Poland and Russia, Secretary Colby declared today In a statement In terpreting France's rejoinder to the American note to Italy. His state ment accompanied publication of the translation of the French note, which was delivered to the state depart ment August 14 by Princo de Beam, the French charge. France's declaration of "Its op position to the dismemberment of Russia" is "most gratifying," Mr. Colby said, and added: "The response is a notable declara tion from every viewpoint and brings to the position taken by the United States a striking emphasis and pow erful support." Recognition Rot Serious. ' The secretary referred to French recognition of General Wrangel in South Russia as a "divergence" be tween the two governments on one point, but said the United States was disposed to regard the declared agreement of France with the prin ciples of the United States as of more significance than any divergence of policy involved In the specific action of France in this respect." "The French note declares that the French government is of the same opinion" as the American government "concerning the present rulers of Russia" and proceeds to condemn the bolshevikl In language almost iden tical with that in the American note to Italy. Negotiations Not Approved. Asserting p-rance is in "complete accord" with the United States as to the "necessity for an Independent Polish state," tho note adds: "This is why there is agreement be tween the French government and the American government to encour age all efforts made with 'a view to bringing nbout an armistice between Poland and Russia, while avoiding giving to the negotiations a character which might result in the recognition of the bolshevist regime and In the dismemberment of Russia." By this declaration France was re garded here as joining with th-e United States in opposing negotia tions with the bolshevikl such as had been proposed by Britain. Mr. Colby also Issued a reply to an assertion by Foreign Minister Tchit cherln of the soviet government that , the bolshevikl have shown they "strictly adhere to obligations" and that if they promised to protect the United States "against agitation of the third Internationale, all our rep resentatives will rigidly fulfill this pledge." I. mine Admits Fraud. "I do not suppose," said Mr. Colbjr, "Mr. Tchitcherin has superseded L,e nine as the authoritative spokesman of soviet purpose. Tho actual words of Lenine aro in sharp contrast to the utterances of his foreign minister. "Said Lcnlne before the council Of the people's commissaries during ne gotiations on the Prinkipo confer ence: T have never hesitated to come to terms with bourgeois governments when by so doing I thought I could weaken the bourgeoisie. . . . The time has come for us to conclude a second Brest-Litovsk, this time with tho entente. We must make peace not only with the entente but also with Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine and all other forces opposing us in Russia, We must be prepared to make every concession, promise and sacrifice to entice our foes into the conclusion of this peace. We shall know that we have but concluded a truce permitting us to complete our preparations for a decisive onslaught, which v.-ill assure our triumph.' Treaty Held Trifle. "In the same' connection, on Feb" ruary 2, 1919. Zinoviev, intimate as sociate of Lenine and Trotzky, so4d: We are willing to sign an unfavor able peace with tho allies. . . . It would only mean we should put no trust in the bit of paper we should sign. We should use the breathing space to gather our strength in order that the mere continued existence of our government would keep up the world-wide propaganda which soviet Russia has been carrying on for more than a year." "On another occasion, he is re ported by Mr. Lincoln Eyre to have said: "Our propaganda system is as strong and as far reaching as ever. " The third Internationale is pri marily an instrument of revolution. This work will be continued, legally or illegally. The soviet government may pledge itself to refrain from (Concluded on Page Column 4.)
