GR0NNA BILL IS THORN
Terrible Rumpus Kicked Vp la
Lower Branch Over Failure to
j Take Up Packer Measure.
THE ORECONIAN NEWS BCXtEATJ,
Washington, D. C, Feb. 14. Congress,
and especially the house, shows a dis
position to try to get all of the ap
propriation bills out of the way
before adjournment on March 4. as
requested by President-elect Harding-.
Hut the prospects are that the usual
jam will come In the end:
Several proposals are included in
rending legislation which threaten to
cause a tie-up in the rush hours near
the close of this congress. In the
house, a terrible rumpus has been
kicked up over the failure of the
house leaders, to take up the Gronna
bill for regulation of packers. The
bill has been passed by the senate
and a small number of representatives
have threatened a filibuster If the
legislation la not taken up In the
bouse and passed.
Qnornro Call Take Time.
It is difficult to conduct a successful
filibuster in the house, but with so
many matters pending; It Is possible
under the rules to keep the house
busy most of the time answering
quorum calls. The fact is that one
third of the time f the house in the
last three weeks has been consumed
by quorum calls forced by Repre
sentative JlcClintic. democrat of Ok
lahoma. No question of national Importance
was involved in Mr. McClintlc's con
duct, but he demonstrated how far
one man can go In squaring a per
sonal score. Mr. McClintic's pique was
the result of the failure of the demo
cratic members of the house to elect
him to the agricultural committee,
which he said had been promised to
him by his party colleagues when this
ajession convened last December.
Hrveage Takea on Hooae.
He has been getting revenge on the
whole house, republicans as well as
democrats, and it might be eaid has
consumed much of the time, of the
i entire, nation by balking the labors
of its public servants. The irate
Oklah'oman has been forcing quorum
calls ahead of the chaplain's prayer.
Ey such methods the advocates of
packers' legislation may clog the
house machinery at the last minute.
In the senate a minority is opposed
o the $100,000,000 appropriation for
continuing federal aid to the states
in highway construction this year.
They are being encouraged by repre
sentatives of the automobile Interests
in all parts of the eountry to stand
pat to the end and beat the rbad
appropriation at any cost? even If
necessary to block all other legisla
tion to do it. Telegrams to this effect
are coming- from all parts of the
country and are understood to be
from backers of the Townscnd road
bill, which has the indorsement of the
American Automobile association.
Technical Evidence Cited.
Another question that Is likely to
cause delay is the proposal to con
struct a Pacific coast naval base at
Alameda, in lower San Francisco bay.
which is estimated to cost ultimately
$100,000. 000. Thjs is fought by friends,
of the Mare Island navy-yard, who
cite technical evidence to show that
by a relatively small expenditure a
naval base can be created at Marc
Island and thereby utilize a plant al
ready constructed.
The naval bill as it comes from the
senate committee will probably carrj
an appropriation of $3,500,000 to start,
work at Alameda, and some of thi
house leaders say that there will bn
no naval appropriations made at this
congress if the senate insists on
forcing the house to swallow such .
provision.
There Is much bitterness over this
proposal for which the raport of a
joint congressional committee is re
sponsible. In the contest other rec
ommendations of the committee foi
aviation and destroyer bases In Pugei
cound and projects on the coast of
southern California have become in
volved. t alitor la Delrgatioa SplK.
The California delegation In con
gress is divided on the proposal. Some
of the partisans of Mare Island have
been making progress In their fight
by spreading the word around that
the Alameda proposal is nothing
more than the beginning of a move
ment to concentrate all Pacific naval
activities In the vicinity of San Fran
cisco und that the balance of the west
coast will do well to take heed.
Friends of the Puget sound naval
projects recommended by the joint
congressional committee do not know
which way to Jump, It is their pri
vate opinions that"a base at Alameda i
not only means the scrapping of Jar

Co-operation between Industries and
with labor and government was cited
as a means for guaranteeing an in
crease. The speaker added there Is
no such thing as -overproduction.
"The commodities or services pro
duced by this nation," he continued,
"are capable of absorption by the
whole, nation if they are of the right
character." . ,
"The absorption of increased pro
ductivity lies in the conversion of
luxuries of today Into necessities of
tomorrow. Wheat bread, railways,
good roads, electricity, automobiles
and movies were once luxuries. There
is no limit to consumption except to
the total capacity of produce."
He said that wastes In American
production were measured mainly in
unemployment, lost time due to labor
conflict, losses In labor turnover.

Stabilization and standardization
of industrial output by agreement,
eliminating overlapping efforts and
seasonal activities were cited as one
means for bringing greater produc
tion. .Utilization of natural resources
for power was urged as an additional
help. "
"The spirit of co-operation," Mr.
Hoover concluded, "has solved many
things In this country since it began
to be noticeable 30 years ago. Co-op

and is ripe for Initiative toward co

WASHINGTON. D. C, Feb.. 14-
(Special.) The emergency tariff bill
will pass the senate this week. A few
democrats will vote .for it.- Ashurst
of 'Arizona apparently his . been se
duced by inserting a tax on long sta
ple cotton, some of which is grown In
his state.
Probably two Louisiana senators
will vote for it, because Louisiana Is
a protection republican state and the
senators from that state are essen
tially republicans, although social and
political conditions in their state
cause them to avoid that label. There
Is also some apprehension among the
democratic leaders that one or two
more from other states may desert
them. v
Move to Flatter Farmers.
Superficially the republicans will
probably present a fairly united front
in favor of the bill. Those western
republican senators who are most
prone to flout party discipline have
in the present case thr dominating
motive of flattering the farmers in
their districts by voting for the bill.
It is the eastern republican senators
that compose the leadership and are
the solid rock of party discipline
who, in the present' case, have the
greater temptation to break away.
Good Faith Doubted.
They w'ould break away If they
were acting In good - faith and if
they had the faintiest idea that
their votes would really make the
bill a law. In fact on a roll call
favoring protection' for long staple
cotton, the two republican senators
from New Hampshire, Moses and
Keyes, voted nay, and such repub
lican senators as Knox of Pennsyl
vania and - Dillingham ,of Vermont
took an ambiguous refuge In answer

Officers at San Antonio Believe
Aviator Met Death in Mountains;
'Cowboys Searching Plains.
' SAN ANTONIO. Tex., Feb. 14. An
aviator believed to have .been lieu
tenant Alexander Pearson Jr.. trans
continental flyer, who has been lost in
west Texas since Thursday, was seen
flying over the Davis mountains, 400
miles west of here that afternoon, ac
cording to a telegram received here
tonight by Major H. C. Pratt, air serv
ice officer of the 8th corps area, from
the postmaster at Pecos. The message
said the aviator was circling over
the hills, as if trying to land near
Balmorhea. ' -
Belief that Lieutenant PeaAon met
death on his attempted flight from
El Paso to San Antonio was generally
expressed by officers at headquar
ters. Airplanes and several parties of
cowboys are in the searching, parties.
His course has been traced beyond
Saragosa in Reeves county and Fort
Stockton, in Pecos county and at both
places he was headed toward San Antonio.
Speculation now centers on whether
Pearson, with his motor "missing"
was able to get across the Pecos val
ley, which, divided by the Pecos river,
flowing in a deep gorge, Is flanked
on either side by rocks and crags, pre
senting certain death to an aviator
forced to seek a landing on its dan
gerous rocks. : Beyond this strip of
"bad land," lies the plains where he
might have safely got his ship down
without Injury.
On receiving official notification
early yesterday afternoon from the
war department that Lieutenant Alex
ander Pearson Jr. is "apparently lost,"
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Pearson, the
young man's parents, and Guthrie
Pearson, younger brother, all of whom
live at 734 East Main street, Aban
doned their former belief that the
missing aviator would eventually b
found alive. V
The only member of the Pearson
family who still clings to the belief
that the lieutenant will !n a few days
be heard from Is William D. Pearson,
who Is a lieutenant in the reserv
corps and vho was an aviator in
Texas.
Knowledge of the topography
the country leads William to the hope
that his brother has been forced to
land in some secluded section, fa:
away from communication with civ
ilization.
The message sent yesterday by th
war department to the elder Pearson
follows: '
"Lieutenant Alexander Pearson Jr.
left El Paso by airplane for San An
tonio at 10:30 A, M. February 10 en
route to Florida. This officer appar
ently lost, as no definite informatlor
of him has been obtained since. Air
planes at border stations from Kelly

South Carolina Senator Will Go to
Department of Justice Over
Bank Statements.
"WASHINGTON, Feb . On charges
of high crimes and misdemeanors, K.
M. Landis, federal judge, of Chicago
was Impeached in the house today by
Representative Welty, democrat, of
Ohio, because of his acceptance of the
office of supreme arbitrator of base
ball while still a judge.
The charge disregarded an opinion
by Attorney-General Palmer that
Judge Landis was within the law, and
thatthere was no law making such
acceptance a crime. The opinion was
given recetitly by the attorney-general
on request of Mr. Welty.
Before proceeding Mr. Welty re
fused a request by Senator Dial, dem
ocrat. South Carolina, to Include in
the general indictment statements at
tributed to the judge in refusing to
send to jail a young Ottawa, 111.,
bank, clerk, because of the belief that
bank officials were responsible for
the clerk's peculations by failure to
pay him a living wage.
Dial to Tell Pilner,
Senator Dial then announced he
would file complaint against Judge
Landis with the department of jus
tice. He characterized Judge Landis'
statement that the bank clerk's em
ployers, were In a measure, responsi
ble for the youth's theft of $96,000 as
"the most bolshevik doctrine I ever
heard" and added that if the action
taken' In paroling the clerk amounted
to encouragement of such acts as
CVUNt.SE. ro .-lUUC pr - .
those of the clerk, "it is striking at
the foundations of our government."
"There were no comments when Mr,
Welty concluded the reading of his
indictment. On his own motion, as
is customary, the indictment was
referred to the Judiciary committee.
Less than a third of the members
present voted and scattering "noes"
were heard. Representative Sher
wood, democrats Ohio, clapped his
hands.

The next step will De by Mr. "Welty,
Ijvho will appear, possibly this week,
Derore me juaiciary committee with
witnesses. The committee has the
power to dismiss the charges and so
report to the house and adoption of
such a report would exonerate Judge
Landis of the charges.
Belief was expressed in house
circles that the case would be thrown
out "By the committee, in view of the
opinion by the attorney-general. In
that event, the end would come be
fore adjournment March 4. Adjourn
ment, however, would not stop pro
ceedings should the committee find
enough evidence to send the case to
the house.
In impeachment proceedings the
committee acts in a similar capacity
to & justice of the peace.
Senate Is Trial Court.
The house is the grand Jury, and
f the house indicts, it transmits its
findings to the senate, which be
comes the trial court. It requires
nlr a majority vote for the house
to indict, but a two-thirds vote by
the senate to convict.
Chairman Volstead 'of the commit
tee said that Mr. welty probably
would appear before -the committee
wrthin a week. The retirement of the
accuser from congress next month
has no bearing, the chairman ex
plained. If the committee decides
Mr. Welty has made out a prima facie
case. Judge Landis will have the right
to be heard.
In his statement Mr. Welty declared
Judge Landis In his long service had
one much good, but that if he wants
ed to retain confidence r.nd re-
pect as a judge "he must divorce
imself from the flesh pots of Illegal
combinations." There were five spe-
ific charges, chief of which was he
neglected his official duties for "an
other gainful occupation not con
nected therewith."
Mr. Welty did not introduce a reso
lution proposing impeachment as is
the usual procedure in such matters.
Instead, he arose to "a question of
high personal privilege," and' an
nounced that he '"impeached" the
judge.

May 1 Date Set for Destruction of
'Bourgeois- Regimes, Accord
ing to Documents Seized.
PARIS, Feb. 14. (By the Associated
Press.) The overthrow of the "bour
geois" governments of Spain. Italv
and France is outlined in documents '
seized after a search today following
the discovery of a widespread com
munist plot. The date fixed was
May 1.
The contemplated arrest of two
communist members of the chamber
of deputies, alleged proof against
whom has been delivered to M. Mar
aud, minister of the Interior, seems
to have brought the French to a reali
zation ofthe importance of the plot.
Discoveries made by the police of
Barcelona and Milan show that the
plot included the three countries.
Transmission of funds was effected
through an American financial or
ganization with headquaiters In Paris
and branches in Berlin and Vienna.
Soviets have been organized in
France with Brest as headquarters
according to the police, ready to take
over railroads and all civil service.
The plot appears to have been organ
ized without the knowledge of M.
Cachin, leader of the French commu
nist party.
Discovery of checks emanating
from Berlin and paid through an
American transportation company,
appears to have caused a revulsion of
feeling in French-political and of
ficial circles and also among the
workingmen's committee.
The French communist press, de
parting from its menacing attitude of
the last few months, expresses sur
prise that repressive measures should
come from Premier Briand, "a for
mer comrade."
L'Humanite, the official organ of
the French communists, appears to
be upset by the arrest of its city edi
tor, M. Dunois, a canceled check for
20,000 francs issued in his name at
Berlin being held by the police.
The opinion in the chimber lobbies
is that the government has struck a
knockout blow against the commu
nist propaganda.

INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS
His Lordship Miles T Cotton. Ca
nadian contractor, and fighting son
of the chief of the Canadian military
forces at the outset of the recent
war. knocked four cellmates for a
"gool" In the drunks' corral of the
city jail early yesterday as tlio cul
mination of a night of highly i!u
mlnated arguments.
Lord Cotton, who is known to be
the son of the late Sir William Henry
Cotton, prominent British army of
ficer, told the police that he is of
British peerage when he was ar
rested early yesterday on a charge
ot drunkenness. Prominent Tortland
residents, who came to his assist
ance, also verified' the statement
that he is of the British nobility.
Loyalty Cauara Downfall.
His Lordship became embroiled
with the low when he alighted from
an automobile which had been
parked in front of police headquar
ters and wandered about the police
garage looking for his evening's
host. ?.ho he thought, had been
thrown in Jail.
Coming from fighting stock, Lord
Cotton had no intention of standing
silently by and permitting an asso
ciate to get in trouble If he could
help it, and this loyalty led to his
downfall. 0
Because of Cotton's uncertain steps
and his inability to steer a proper
course over the oily garago floor,
1'atrolmen Forkan and Caso placed
him under arrest on a drunk charge.
"I'm a British subject and a guest
of your country and you can't place
mo under arrest, don't you know," ex
claimed his lordship as he was led to
jail.

But in spite of all protests Lord
Cotton was placed in the drunks'
ward. A few minutes later four'
roisterers all drunk and all In a
fighting mood, were, ushered Into the
same corral.
"A bloody outrage, don't J ou know,"
complained his lordship to his four
companions.
And right there the British accent
started something.

of sleeping off a drunk In the samu

upon his Jail experiences.
"After 'l had cleaned up on all of
