MR. McNARY MAY MOVE UP
Oregon Senator Likely to Become
Agricultural Leader Within
Next Ten Days.
THE OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, 1. C. Feb. 1. Oregon,
Washington and Idaho promise -to be
at the forefront In senate leadership
within the next few weeks as a re
sult of general shifting of powerful
committee chairmanshiDS.
When Senator Kenyon of Iowa re
tires to icq on the federal bench Sen
ator McNary becomes ranking repub
lican member of the committee on ag
riculture, but it became known today
that the Oregon senator is likely to
r.iove up Into the chairmanship of that
committee within the next ten days.
Senator Norris Indicated today his
intention of resigning at once as
chairman of the committee, which
would 'mean Senator McN'ary's Imme-
aiate promotion. Air. Kenyon s re
tirement also leaves a vacancy in the
chairmanship of the senate commit
te on labor, which passes in the
regular course to Senator Borah, but
the Idaho senator, having declined
the place once in favor of Senator
Kenyon, it is understood, is again
about to decline, but for reasons
other than those given before.
Mr. Borah Agaiaat Bareaau
On the other occasion Senator Bo
rah declined to take the labor chair
manship because he desired to devote
ail his time to opposition to the
league of nations, which was then
about to be presented to the senate
This time he is not sure that be wants
the place because he does not care to
take the chairmanship and then op
pose, as he intends to do. some meas
ures sponsored by the administration
and favored by the majority of the
committee. .
One such bill Is that which pro
vides for a welfare department to
take rank with other departments of
the government with a chief who
would be a member of the cabinet
Senator Borah has frequently said
that ho was opposed to establishing
new bureaus.
Irrllatloa Leadership Looms.
Should Senator Borah decline the
labor chairmanship the place would
then fall to Senator Phipps of Colo
rado, who otherwise would succeed
Senator McNary as chairman of ths
senate Irrigation committee. In event
Mr. Borah leaves the labor - chair
manship to Senator I'hipps. then Sen
ator Gooding of Idaho, at the close
of one year's service, would ascend
to- chairmanship of the irrigation
committee Already it is understood
that Senator Poindexter will again
be called iifon to preside over the
naval committee when hearings be

its seventh emphatic denial. The com- i
munity chest campaign -is being
waged by volunteer workers, stenog-
iiimu iu me seemingly surprising con
viction that their service is not to
be bought, but to be given freely. It
Is the aim of the organisation to
touch no penny of any dollar that
enters the chest, and to insure that
all contributions go straight to their
charitable or philanthropic targets.
One of the finest average subscrip
tions from an industrial concern is
that reported by Captain P. H. Gib
son of Colonel Wells Gilbert's com
mand, from the Freeland furniture
plant. A brief canvass of this fac
tory resulted in the. pledging of 45
employes to the chest, with average
contributions of $4.50.
Colonel P. J. Hanley. whose aston
ishingly good record In the campaign
is the envy of ail other units, has
declared that he will complete his
district by Saturday night in area
from Fourth street to the river, and
from Stark to Oak streets.

l i rs ot the women's division, in
their house-to-nouse canvass, stopped
at her home and were met at the
door by the sightless girl.
"Oh. I"ve been wait.ng for von!"
she exclaimed. "Here's S30 I've saved
for the chest.
"I'm wondering." said the visitor
afterward, "how deeply thie sort of
spirit haa penetrated the heart of
our city? I'm wondering if such a
girl and her gift are not commis
sioned by providence to remind some
of us of the nature of genuine
giving?"
It was whispered yesterday, when
the generals and colonels assembled
for their noon-day conference, that
General Robert K. Smith and Adjutant-General
fow V. Walker had
wearied of comparative Inaction and
were Inclined to speak plainly of in
efficient organisation and hap-has-ard
soliciting. Abundantly justified
that rumor was. for the officers of
high command loosed upon their staff
a riooa ot reproach and exhortation.
The meeting seethed indignantly.
It was evident, said nenerals Smith
iiu ict, in eireci. that many
colonels had not perfected staunch
and serviceable organisations: that a
ht-or-miss method was alighting the
task before them: that Inefficiency irt
high places and low was contributing
to the sloth of the drive. It was the
duty of colonels, they charged, to
confer with their captains and lieu
tenants, to discovert the weakness of
their organisation, and to create such
units as would need no gleaners to
follow them. Real salesmanship, they
Mid. was the vital requirement of
the drive.
Colonel after colonel caught up the
criticism and shredded it not tamely
but with denial and In umbrage. They
spoke of office theorists and office
chairs, as contrasted with facts and
streets and trudging. They dented
that either they or their workers
were, gloomy or downcast, and inti
mated that if there was fog it was
at headquarters alone. Large indus
trial plants, for instance, are not can
vassed in a day and from some of
these the colonels predicted subscrip
tions of $20,000. The exchange of
views and compliments cleared the
atmosphere.
Pr Clearly Shewn.
"Whew"- said General Smith some
what ruefully, when the meeting ad
journed. "We rode 'em pretty hard,
but how those boys came back at
us: I feel a hundred per cent better
about It- They mean business, and
they've meant business all along. Just
the same 1 believe that there is some
slack In the organization."
A glaam of humor in the drive was
the disappearance of the chestometer
on the second night of the drive
the device which strolls down the
street on its tractor and measures
the progress of the budget. Harvey

relates:
"We found It In the animal room of

tractor and she froze up the first
night out- Naturally he didn't want
it to happen again, so when the
streets were quiet he had the chesto

between the amount given last year

nas oeen very successful.
Two of our lieutenants sold the
entire top floor of the Chamber of
Commerce building. getting more
money than was obtained there last
year. This was because these were
real salesmen.
'We have been working on our or

should give. This was delivered- in

give the people In my district an idea
of what they should give. The or

Issuance of circular, lent much to the
great success of our district."
tVomea tm Give Last Dollar.
When the big community chest tank
rumbles up to the Portland hotel on
ts last lap of the big drive, the final
dollar of the budget will be there
waiting for it.
"That last dollar is to be put In by
the woman's division." said Mrs. C- B.
Simmons, chairman of the woman's
division for the big drive. "And right
now it is locked here. In my desk in a
sealed envelope. I feel as importan

ROME. Feb. 1. (By the Associated
Press.) Cardinals comprising the sa
cred college entered seclusion this
evening for the conclave to elect a
successor to Benedict XV, the sessions
of which begin tomorrow.- It is the
consensus of ooinion in Vatican clr
cles that the conclave will be of short
duration and that the next pope will
be chosen from the among the mod
erates.
By those in close touch with the
preliminary proceedings it is decided
that neither the so-called "irrecon-
cilables" nor those constitutiong the
"peace party" will have a chance- to
elect their candidate without assist
ance of the moderates. The five
French cardinals are said to favor the
continuance of the policy of the late
pope and will vote for a cardinal ol
the moderate group.
Food Stored la Vatic m.
The other foreign cardinals gen
erally are understood not to desire to
join with either side among the
Italians and will vote for a moderate
Food has been stored within the
Vatican sufficient to last 350 persons
seven days.
Besides -ne secretary and one serv
ant each for the 52 cardinals, there
will be within the Vatican, after the
doors are bolted, a general secretary
of the conclave. Monslgnor Sincero.

who will be sisters of charity: three
doctors, five pharmacists, seven mas

nine janitors, one architect, thieo fire
men, two night watchmen, one car
penter, a bricklayer, a plasterer, a
blacksmith, an electrician, two plumb
ers, three barbers and nine waiters.
Sixty Cardinals Living.
There are now living about 60 car
dinals, including six cardinal-bishops,
six cardinal-deacons and the others
cardinal-priests.
Cardinal Vincent Vannutelll Is dean
of the sacned college. Italians com
pose about one-half of the member
ship of the college, with Spain next in
order with seven members. England
and the United :ates have two eacn.
with one in Canada and one in South
America. The American bishops are
William Cardinal O'Connell, archbish
op of Boston, and Dennis Cardinal
Dougherty, archbishop of Philadel
phia. The college Is required to meet on
the tenth day after the death of a
pope. A two-thirds vote is necessary
for an election. While there is no
law against the election of a layman
it has become tradition to elect the
new pope from the membership of the
college of cardinals, and It is tra
ditional also that the pope should be
chosen from the Italian cardinals. It
Is stated that this tradition has not
ben departed from in nearly 400 years
Seclusion la Be Strict.
The cardinals will meet for the
cpening of the conclave in the Sistine
chapel, where fnass for the holy ghost
will be said by the cardinal dean.
Ttey will then proceed with their of
ficers and assistants to that part of
the Vatican set apart for the elec
tion. This will form a secluded pre
cinct where they will be guarded by
the marshal of the conclave. Their
seclusion will be strict. Communica
tion with the outside world during
the sessions of the college is possible
only through a email window equipped
with something like a revolving door I
used in office buildings in the United j
States. The use of this Is restricted I
to the sending out of laundry and re
ceiving of food and medicine.
bach cardinal-bishop has three
rooms and each cardinal-priest and
cardinal-deacon two room's. Tele
phones have been Installed in the
apartment of each of the cardinals so
they will be abre to communicate with
each other, but this telephone ex
change is not connected with the city
exchange and there can be no tele
phone communication with the out
side world.
Cardinals to Be Walled In.
The cardinals are walled in within
the large hall of the Vatican, which is
divided so as to provide these small
compartments. At prescribed hours
twice a day the cardinals will come
together to vote, the actual balloting
taking place in the Sistine chapel.
This must continue until a candidate
