SENATE DEFERS DECISION

WASHINGTON. D. C, May 3. As a
result of opposition led by Senator
Jnhnson, republican, California, the
stiate late today voted to recommit
the nomination of David H. Blair of
Winston-Salem. N. C, for internal
revenue commissioner to the senate
finance committee, with instructions

Violation of the North Carolina pri

Support Held Pledged.
I 1 the convention Mr. Blair voted
for Mr. Harding, despite Senator
Johnson's claim that his support was
;iedged to the Californian until re
leased bv him.
r Another objection to Mr. Blair, pre
sented bv Senator Johnson, concerned
questions of income tax payments by
orDoratinns in which Mr. Blair s rei
atives were said to be interested.
Senator Johnson issued a statement
in -which he said:
"I am opposed to the confirmation
of Mr. Blair. My objection is oasea
on tw-o grounds: First, he was a del
egate to the republican national con
vention bound under the law of
North Carolina to vote for the can
didate receiving the majority of votes
in the presidential preference pri
mary. I received three times as many
votes as my opponent. Blair, as
delegate to the national convention
did not obey the primary. He vio
iated the law and betrayed his peo
pie.- He is now nominated to the
most important administrative office
in the United States.
"He administers tax, prohibition
and other laws. A man who will vio
late his own state's law is unfit to
administer the nation's laws.
: Income Tax Involved.
"The second objection to Mr. Blair,
because of a secrecy maintained con
cerning income tax returns, is in
volved in some obscurity. Mr. Blair's
father-in-law is one of the richest
but' not therichest man in North
Carolina. He sought by forming
partnership with his family to lessen
his income tax. He was required to
pay and it is asserted he did pay the
full amount claimed by the govern
ment and the members of his family
as partners have sought a refund.
some hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have been at stake.
"Mr. Blair ought not to be put in
a position where he is in the slightest
degree connected with refunds due
hia wife, his father-in-law and other
relatives.".
The amount of tax refunds involved
in the treasury department case is
said to be around il.OOO.OOO.
In the senates executive session
Mr. Blair was reported to have been
defended by Senators Smoot of Utah
and Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, re
publicans. Chairman Penrose of the
finance committee, which reported
Mr.-Blair's nomination favorably last

COUNCIL. PROBES! ARREST
Disposition of State Traffic In
spector's Case Asked.
SALEM, Or.. May 3. (Special.)
Members of the city council, at a
meting last night, demanded to know
what disposition had been made of
the case involving T. A. Raffety, state
traffic inspector, who was reported
to have been arrested here a month
ago on a charge of driving his auto
mobile without proper lights.
Because of conflicting reports re
garding the alleged arrest of Mr.
Raffety the council authorized Mayor
Halvorsen to appoint a committee to
investigate the incident and report
its findings at the next meeting of
the body.
It was the opinion of the council-
men that if Mr. Raffety had been
arrested he should have been given a
hearing the same as any other al
leged traffic law violator. On the
other hand, if he was not arrested, the
report should not have been given
publicity by the police, the council-
men said.

President Thinks He Should Not
Be Hampered by Sugges
tions From Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 3. Pres
ident Harding objects to the insertion
in the navy appropriation bill of any
provision requesting him to call a
naval disarmament conference, as
proposed under an amendment by
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho.
This became known when the senate
naval committee -began work today
on the $396,000,000 measure passed by
the house.
The president's objections will re
sult in the bill being reported to the
senate without the Borah amendment,
according to Senator Poindexter, re
publican, Washington, and admini
stration forces are expected to line up
against the amendment for which
.Senator Borah plans to fight.
President Harding's views were
given to Senator Poindexter and Sen
ator Hale, republican, Maine, of the
sub-committee in charge of the ap
propriation measure.
Free Hand la Wanted.
The president, it was stated, ex
pressed himself as desirous of "ap
proximate disarmament," but was
represented as opposing any sugges
tion from congress which might em
barrass executive action or to appear
to convey a congressional recommen
dation on international policies with
in jurisdiction of the executive. Sen
ator Poindexter stated such a request
as proposed by the Borah plan would
be advisory merely.
It is also understood that the
president reiterated his opinion that
ample, immediate appropriations
should be provided to continue the
1916 naval building programme with
a view to rounding out the navy prior
to establishment of a disarmament
programme. -Amendments
Held Certain.
That virtually all of the amend
ments aggregating $100,000,000, added
at the last session to the house bill
which failed of passage in the senate
would be readopted by the committee
was predicted by Senator Poindexter.
The chief items added last March
and the subject of controversy which
caused failure of the bill in the sen
ate were for naval aviation, for new
Pacific coast bases and for hastening
completion of the building pro
gramme. Increased funds for complet
ing two to four capital ships under
construction also are in prospect, Sen
ator Poindexter said.
Extensive hearings are not regard
ed by the committee as necessary be
cause of the exhaustive study made
last winter, when virtually the same
bill was presented.
The committee plans to complete
and report the bill within a few days
possibly tomorrow.
may materialize into flowers which
will answer Mr. Beban's purpose.
'I have awaited with great interest
my visit to Portland, for I felt if a
suitable rose could be found any
where it would be in the Rose City,"
said Mr. Beban. "I had heard of Mr.
Currey many times before, as he has
a national reputation as a rosarian,
but when I .called on him today I
was surprised to find him instead
of a florist, an engineer, daily en
gaged in designing and selling steel.
It reveals a wonderful sentiment in
a busy professional man, and if only
more of our business men would take
time to encourage rose culture we
would have more beautiful homes,
and naturally more beautiful home
life would follow."
Mr. Currey has announced that he
will get in touch with rose growers
not only in this country but in France
and England to see if any superior
to those two specimens tentatively
chosen from the Portland test gar
dens can be found.

Portland wants the 1021 Rose Fes

This is the collective judgment of
35 team leaders who, under the com
mand of the Royal Rosarians, yester
day morning began the work of rais
ing funds to carry on the fete this
year. Approximately half of the $2o
000, which it has been estimated will
be needed to stage the festival, had
been realized by last evening, it was
announced, and the Rosarians, who
will continue the work today, hope to
be well towards the end of their la
bors by this evening.
The Royal Rosarians, at the request
of the Portland Rose Festival asso
ciation, this year voted to undertake
the work of raising the money needed
for the fete, which has been sched
uled for June 8, 9 and 10, and yester
day morning the members of the or
ganization met in the green room of
the Chamber of Commerce to start the
drive. Nearly 70 members were pres
ent and 35 teams were formed to carry
on the soliciting. Each team was
given some particular business rieia
to cover, one team taking the jewelry
firms, another the clothiers, and on
down the line. In order that all busi
ness firms might be reached.
After a busy day team leaders re
ported at 5 o'clock last night to

the Rosarians and leader of the drive,
and from these reports, which were

raised. A meeting of the Rosarians
has been called for that time at the

An adroit plea for clemency for the

his client had learned his lesson and
would not again offend against the

Judge Bean said the prisoner was
