Majority members re fused to be drawn into a tariff de bate, however, ignoring the challenges with weary, apathetic silence. When, at 9 o'clock this-morning. Sen ator Smoot concluded his lH4-hour speech, he was relieved . by Senator Sutherland, whose assertion that Gov ernment operation of ships could not be Justified under the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution, led Senator Shields (Dem.) to ask how .he justi fied the building of the Central Pa cific Railroad. Senator Sutherland con tended it was constructed as a military measure. Senator Borah referred to the Alaska Railroad. Senator Suther land's reply was that the road was Mail Orders Promptly and Carefully FilledExpress and Parcel Post Packages Prepaid on $5 PurchasesPrincipal Portland Agents ladies' Home Journal Patterns 10c and 15c r . . 1 Extra A Sale of 50 Dozen PILLOW CASES At 15c Each Regular 20c Grade Made' of good durable muslin, neatly hemmed and ready to use.

NEW POSITIONS SOUGHT The Most in Value, The Best in Quality Lodse Raps President. Senator Lodge took the floor at OREGON S SAILORS STRANDED 1:40 P. M. ARMISTICE AGREED UPON (Continued From First Pgc) Senate. He said that he could say authoritatively that there was not one scintilla of truth in the report. Smeot Talks All Mt. I-ate tn the day Senator William JUden Smith, of Michigan, relieved his Republican colleagues who had been hold ins the floor since early morning, when Senator Sraoot concluded his all night speech. Senator Smith turned his attention to the bitter arraignment of., the Administration's policy and painted a gloomy 'word picture of the business condition of the country un der the Democratic tariff. An era of "record-breaking buslnes mortality" had followed the enactment of that tariff, he said, and he characterised the shipping bill as the "fifth Admin istration folly."" "I don't think we have ever had a Presi dent who was so hopeful with so little cause as the present incumbent of the Vhite House." he said. "From the day he signed the tariff bill he has not let a week go by without proclaiming that prosperity was here." Senator Smith read many figures 'I realize." he said, "that in this sys tem of permanent sessions some must watch and come must stop, and I would not have the heart to disturb anyone's sleep. I particularly , regret that the President's secretary is not here at this moment, as he was all last even ing and again this morning I think that since Congress has been converted into a registry office we ought to have with us the personal representative of the President. Of course it is too much to expect that the President should be in attendance, therefore while the watchful waiter keeps his eyes fixed upon the red panorama in Mexico, it Is well that his secretary be here to see that none of the lambs etray from the fold. while Senator Lodge was speaking a party of movers brought a bed to the Capitol and had it put up In the com mittee room of Senator Ollie James, which is handy to one of the Senate doors. The Kentucky Senator said he was ready to camp there Indefinitely. Grave Complication Predicted. - Senator Lodge reiterated that If ln- erned ships were bought by the United States It would plunge the country into nternational complications of the gravest character. Great Britain had already protested, he said, against the transfer of the Dacia. "Can the Senator tell us," queried Senator Galllnger, "why the Dacia does not sail?' "The Senator asks me to rend the veil of mystery which hangs over our foreign relations, but I cannot do it, answered Senator Lodge. "What know Is that Great Britain has pro tested against this transfer; Russia and France have made similar pro tests, which are now on file at the State Department. That means that Great Britain, France and Russia, once such ships go to sea. will hold them subject to capture as prizes." Senator Lodge said he had heard the Administration believed Great Britain. France and Russia would not do what they said they- would do when it came to the point. That, he declared, is the same mistaken theory that had sent troops to Vera Cruz in the belief that a landing there would not be resisted vhen it came to the point. "And If this course is pursued, of buying these interned ships," Senator Lodge concluded, I say you have started this Nation on the highway of war, not with one nation, but with four." Recess at Midnight Agreed On. Senator Kern was on his feet as Mr. Lodge concluded, with the first visible effects of a draw in the long parlia mentary battle. I move, said he, "that the Senate take a recess at 12 o'clock tonight un til 10 o clock Monday morning." l here was no dissent and the motion prevailed by unanimous consent. Senator Perkins declared that Gov ernment ownership and operation of the merchant marine would cripple and discourage private enterprise and de lay the day all Americans hoped to see, when the Stars and Stripes would wave on every sea. If the- present emergency was as great as stated, he said, the shipping and ' shipbuilding men of the Nation should, be summoned into conference. All that the Government could take over under this bill, he declared, would be some 60 ships already engaged in carrying American commerce. He added that the present American coastwise merchant marine was answering loy ally to the need for oversea shipping and there was no reason why It should be interfered with. The Senator argued that ships purchased must be .classed either as private or public vessels, and as private vessels they would lose the Immunities and rights of public craft. On the ether hand, he contended that the belligerents would not grant them freedom from search because they were public vessels and all that would be left to the United States would be to ko to war to protect its rights. Senator "Struck Dumb. The Senate galleries gradually filled with spectators, and as the evening wore on many Senators who had gone home for a brief rest returned to the chamber, some of 'them in evening dress. Senator Smith's discourse covered a wide field. Once he said: "I heard the Secretary of the Treas ury ask a distinguished audience at San Diego. Cal., the other day: 'What is the matter with the country?1 The people who heard htm were Btruck dumb. Nobody could answer, and final ly the Secretary of the Treasury an swered: 'Not a damn thing.' " "Did I understand the Senator from Michigan to say that he was present and heard this?" asked Senator Chilton. "Yes. I was present," Senator Smith said. And was struck dumb?" asked Sen ator Chilton, precipitating an uproar In the chamber galleries. Members of Crew Who Resigned Other Jobs to Make Historic Voyage Taken . Una-wares by NaTy Department Order. . SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 30. (Special.) The sudden announcement that the sail ing date, February 1. of the battleship Oregon for the Panama Canal was can celled and that Its departure for the grand opening ceremonies of the big ditch was indefinitely postponed nas left members of the veteran crew of 1898 who have resigned positions to serve during exposition time under their old commander la an unfortunate 'Position. These men, who are on their way here from Oregon, Washington, Mon tana and Illinois, under the belief that they will sail Monday, will find them selves in a strange city without em ployment. They have been instructed to report to Adam Gill, president ot the Veterans of the Oregon Crew of 1898, In this city. They were to ennsi for four years In the United States Navy with the special privilege of re signing at pleasure. j UTaval Par Insufficient. The Government could pay them only seamen's wages, or 820 a month, lnas much as Congressional action would have been necessary to Increase this amount. It was obvious that some- thin? would have to be done In add! tlon to their Navy pay to compensate these veterans for the salaries many of them would have to resign to take nart in an undertaking which had re ceived the indorsement of Senators, representatives, patriotic and civic bodies all over the country and con seauently various plans have been dis cussed by prominent men and women, particularly of this city. It was found that 810,000 would be ample to insure every living member of the crew of 1898 an opportunity to serve under his old commander at the opening of the canal. Most of the men have families and nave given up posi tiona to make the trip. Sailing Delayed Indennltely. A brief conversation with any of these men who have volunteered their services for this cruise convinces even the casual investigator that any benefit in their behalf would not be a work of charity, but, rather, a recognition of patriotic self -sacrifice. Each one took a personal pride in his opportunity to show the world that, after 17 years civil life, he could go back Into the old ficrhting harness again. President Gill desires to secure work for the nine men who are here and for the 27 who are coming so that they will be kept together. Mrj Gill received information today from reliable authority at Washington that the saillne- of the Oregon and the opening of the canal 'had been inden nltely delayed. There Is an intimation that the old ship may not leave here before next July. Government officials say they can do nothing for the men Growth of Temperance. (Baltimore American.)

The Overseas News Agency today gave out the following statement: "The Vosslsche Zeltung publishes a dispatch from Copenhagen saying there has been received at that city a com munication from Socialist members of the Russian Duma who were to have attended the Socialist Congress recent ly held there, but were unable to be present because they were arrested by the Russian police. " - "Their report states tnat at the be ginning of the war wholesale arrests were made of Socialist leaders in Rus sia and that later all Socialist organ izations were suppressed by the police. The government later altered the re port of the sessions of the Duma so as to .conceal the protest of the Socialist party ag.iinst additional war credits.
