Warren, who owns canneries jt Cathlamet and Cascade Locks. He appeared for the packers and the canncrymen. Other in formation pertaining to the. salmon in dustry of the two states was obtained by the members of the two committees by questioning Fish "Wardens Riesland, of Washington, and 11. G. Van Dusen, of Oregon. Another meeting of the two committees wia be held at 10 o'clock this morning, when a decision will be reached as to the scope-' of the legislation that will be rec ommended to the Legislatures. l-'or Uniform Legislation. , The purpose of the meeting was a discussion of the interest of the two states in salmon tlshing in the Columbia River and the tributaries of that stream in both states In order to agree on legis lation on the subject that will be jointly enacted by the Legislatures of the two states. Of the special committee named by the Oregon Legislature were present Senator Scholfield and Representatives Medio and Knowles. Senator Hedges and Representative Farrel not being able to attend. The committee of Washington legislators consisted of Senator A. I Watson, of Kalama, who presided as chairman of the meeting; Senator H. S. MetJowan. cannery man of McGowan; Representatives J. G.

In addition to these speak ers, reprcFenting the fishermen, W.. B. Starr, of Pillar Rock. Wash., spoke, but the speakers were not agreed aa to the best method for preserving the salmon industry, some, not favoring a shorter Spring closed season suggested by others. Van Duscu's Recommendation. The recommendation of Master Fish Warden Van Dusen in his annual report, that fishing be prohibited within ten miles of Celiio Falls as the best means for promoting the work of hatcheries on the Upper Columbia, afforded a resourceful subject for n severe cross-questioning of that official bv Senator Whealdon, of The Dalles, who also attended the conference. iwiiirn ;mi. v iieniuvni uau iinisneu nis inquisition it was plainly apparent that the Master Fish Warden was bad dis concerted. Mr. Whealdon was successful in causing Mr. Van Dusen to discredit his own reports as to the status of fish ing generally on the Upper Columbia and especially with reference to the ability of salmon to ascend the falls at Celiio, which are now t-laimcd by Mr. Van Dusen to be an insurmountable obstruction to these fish except during the freshets in th early Spring. The Oregon Fish Warden was unable to explain satisfac loiily why there was this year a shortage in the take of salmon eggs at the hatch eries both above and below the Celiio Fails. Mr. Van Xusen admitted that the only recommendation he had to offer in the interest of the salmon industry at this session of the two Legislatures was a law prohibiting tisliing for salmon in the vicinity of Celiio Falls. Weekly Closed Season. superintendent (Yawford. of the Wash ington fitih hatcheries, expressed his be lief that a weekly closed season would prove of great benefit, particularly to the hatcheries below Celiio Falls. The committees briefly considered Rep resentative Farrell's bill, which provides for a closed Sunday and extends the closed season from March 15, noon, to April 1", noon, to that period extending from February 15, noon, until May 20, noon, and from August 15. noon, to Sep tember 30, noon, to from August 20, noon, to October 1. Another bill considered was that by Senator Coke, prohibiting the use of a purse net or like seine in any, of the streams of the state or In the Pacific Ocean within three miles of the mouth of any of these streams. Final action in iwssing on these bills will be considered at today's meeting, as will also be the request of the fishermen's union that the two dates each appropriate about J6no an nually as a fund to be expended in the slaughter of sea lions.

Lucas, president of the North western League, arrived in Tacoma this morning, for a peep at the local baseball situation. For a couple of hours the visitors were closeted with George Shreeder. The rumor circulated and which has been given some credence to the effect that baseball was impossible here the coming season, because of the lack of grounds, is scorned by Mr. Shreeder, who declares he has several suitable sites In view. President Lucas Is enthusiastic over the prospects, and says the league will be the greatest, winner in the history of base ball in the Northwest. "I have Just returned from Bellingham and Vancouver, and both these cities want admission to the league." said Mr. Lucas. Tacoma will surely be one of us, because the fans could not afford to miss the kind of ball that will be served." AQVATIG MEKT TOMOItnOW Grammar School Boys Will Compete ill the Y. M. C. A. Pool.

MISSOURI NOT NAVIGABLE South Wants Canal Through Air ginia Eulogies on Gorman, in W hich Cannon Tells of Frlend ' ship for Opponent. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. Two Jiours were spent today by the House on the rivers and harbors appropriation bill, speeches against the measure being made by Hepburn, Clark (Missouri), and Kiofer. Impressive eulogies were delivered on the late Senator Gorman, of Maryland. Out of respect to the memory of the late Representative Flack, whose death was announced, the House at 4 :0," adjourned until Mon day. Hepburn Opposes Gulf Waterway. In resuming the debate on the rivers and harbors bill. Small, of North Caro lina, Insisted that if the Internal trade of the country is to be preserved, addi tional waterways must be developed and present waterways deepened and widened. He addressed the House par ticularly in favor of a 200-mile .canal from Norfolk to Beaufort Tnlet. Hepburn addressed the House on the project championed by the Missouri and Illinois nlembers for a deep water way from Chicago to the Gulf. He. made reply to Clark, of Missouri, w.ho, he said, wanted to build a waterway of 4000 miles in extent between granite walls 200 feet high.. Of the Missouri River, Hepburn said that the sand bara and bends in that stream had made it absolutely Impossible for navigation. flepburn said that the steamboat as a mode of transportation was a thing of the past, and it was his belief that a double track railroad would have a cheaper carrying capacity per mile than the Hennepin Canal. Hepburn gave notice that he in tended to offer an amendment to limit the expenditure of the appropriation for the Missouri River to the protec tion of its hanks and channel, not for the improvement of the navigation of the stream. Cannon Eulogizes Gorman. The business of the House was laid aside at 2 o'clock in order that the members might pay tributes to the late Mr. Gorman. Talbot, of Maryland, was the first speaker and he was followed by Speaker Cannon, who called Talbot to the chair and, taking a place near his old seat on the Republican side, told in simple phrases of his long as sociation with the dead Senator. The tribute of the Speaker was warm and heartfelt and the Representatives un consciously brok3 into applause at the concluslc-u of his estimate of Senator Gorman. Clark, of Missouri, vouchsafed the opinion that had Mr. Gorman' been chairman, of the National Democratic committee in 18SS Cleveland would have been re-elected, and the current of our history changed for years, it may be forever. With the conclusion of the exercises the Houte, out of respect to the mem ory of the late -Representative Flack, of New York, and as a further mark of respect to the late Senator from Maryland, adjourned.

WILL LEASE TO PRIESTS Clemenccau Yields and Mayors Ad mit Clergy to Buildings Combes Prepares to Smash Cabi net on Question. PARIS, Feb. 2. The views of Minister of Education Briand that the government must continue alonK liberal lines iu the execution of the separation laws' seem to have prevailed over the stiff-necked view held by Premier Clemenceau. It has been practically decided to instruct the Prefects that the contracts for the leas ing of churches offered by tho French priests are acceptable with modifications, provided they do not vitiate the rights of the state to "dlsafTeet ' these churches. In other words, the government wants to test the sincerity of the desire ex pressed by Rome to find a basis of settle ment. Certainly a majority ot the French clergy and people wish for a peaceful adjustment, but whether the bishops, act ing: under the Instructions of the Vatican, will recede from their position of "all or nothing' remains a question. In some quarters it Is reported that the Pope, in anticipation of the refusal of the proposals of the bishops, already has prepared an address to the Catholics of France in which he places responsibility for the final rupture upon the govern ment. The situation is complicated by the con tention of competent authorities that the government has no right to Interfere with the various Mayors, and that the churches in a commune are the property of that commune and entirely beyond the Juris diction of the federal authorities. The opposition elements of both wings in the Chamber of Deputies, instigated by the followers of M. Combes, appear to be organizing a serious attempt to unhorse the Ministry next week. Should they succeed there is no reason to be lieve the church situation would be ma terially Improved. EXCOMMUNICATE NEW CHURCH I'apal Thunders Will Issue Against Schismatic French Catholics. ROME.

Many Bodies Still In Mine. CHARLESTON. W. Va., Feb. 2. With the coming of the fourth day since the Stuart mine disaster, full do tails of the explosion were still lack ing. Owing to the fumes of gas in the mine a full investigation has not yet been possible, but there seems no doubt that 15 or 20 more bodies await recovery, while 64 have already been recovered. This will make the death list greater than In any previous mine explosion in this state. Confirms Bay State Gas Deal. WILMINGTON. Del., Feb. 2.
