And then, perhaps, the settlement of Fiume's fate will be declared by the senate to be a question for self-determination by the peoples affectet!. The announcement of Senators Lodge and Borah that they had seen the full text of the peace treaty in New York produced an almost riotous effect on the senate. Senator Hitchcock of Ne braska displayed such emotion as has not been witnessed in the senate in n. loner time. He seemed to sense a high crime, but the spectator was impressed that in Senator Hitchcock's estimation the crime was in the peace treaty's having been exhibited to somebody else before he had seen it. Distress Held Justified. And gossip has it that Senator Hitch rock has pood reason to feer slighted. He has led the administration's fight in the senate for a league of nations, and private individuals have been per mitted to seo the treaty draft before it has been offered to him. This leak, like many that have char acterized the course of this adminis tration, is laid to some of Mr. Wilson's advisers. The gossip is that one copy of the peace treaty was sent back from Paris or Versailles by a distinguished member of the American commission to a friend in New York to scrutinize and dissect. At least three others are said to have fallen in some manner into the hands of other equally good friends, and from friends they may have passed into the hands of enemies, such as Sen ators Lodge and Borah. Additional copies are said to be on the way from Germany and Norway, one dispatch saying that the German government had sent copies of the treaty to all members of congress. It 11 mors Are Doing; Harm. Even the advocates of the league of nations undoubtedly feel now that it would be well to lay the full treaty before the senate without delay, be cause rumors are going abroad which are doing much harm. The league cause is being hurt by rumors which may not be true, and so long as the treaty is unrevealed, other new and more dan gerous rumors will arise that cannot be overcome after the public prejudices are once set in the belief that great wrongs have been perpetrated in secret conferences to which the president of the United States has been a party. One rumor that is doing particular harm relates to the labor section of the treaty. Labor is hearing that the plan is one which calls for the leveling of labor standards throughout the world, through which it is declared American industrial workers will suffer by reason of their having the highest standards of living, the best working conditions and the best scale of wages. Bad Complications Possible. Other reports have it that there is bo much in the treaty calling for leg islation by congress as to involve the house of representatives. Members of the house are stirred by some of the reports regarding the treaty, as well as by demands from their constituents that they take a hand in seeing that the treaty contains this or that or is re jected. These constituents, of course, do not understand that treaties are rati fied by the senate, but there are possi bilities for many complications in this nagging at members of the house. The house has on two or three occa sions in the history of this country as serted its right to participate in treaty making and in 1S00 called on the execu tive for correspondence in connection with the Prussian treaty which was then up for ratification in the senate. The correspondence was furnished. Should this treaty once get into the hands of the house all of the work at Paris would probably have to be done over again. Lfamie Overshndows All. So absorbing has been the interest In the league of nations developments in the senate that Washington almost forgot within a few hours the attempt to blow up the home of Attorney-General Palmer last Monday night, and the passage of the resolution to sub mit the woman's suffrage amendment to the states. The attempt to assassi nate the attorney-general did not cre ate the keenest excitement because it was generally felt that the leniency with which the administration has been dealing with radicals of all descrip tions was sure to lead to serious out breaks. When it was found that the dynamiter came from outside Wash ington and that he was just an ordi nary anarchist all interest was lost. While the senate is furnishing th thrilling sensations, the house is legis lating with the same vim that marked the first days of the session, and when President Wilson returns . it will not he the fault of the house if the last important measure left over from the 65th congress is not ready for his sig nature. Important Probea Ordered. Besides passing the agricultural ap propriation bill, it has passed the reso lution creating the Graham committee to investigate the entire management of the war, both as it relates to preparations in this country and on the battle lines in France. - Another reso lution provides for an investigation of the shipping board from top to bottom and at every port where a ship was built for or floated by the goernment. The army appropriation bill has been reported to the house for passage with $400,000,000 recommended by Secretary Baker eliminated and plans are making to report the naval bill with similar re ductions, and the appropriations com mittee is bringing forth the bill to ap propriate $750,000,000 for the railroads. A recommendation for the cepeal of the daylight saving law, effective aftet October 1, has been made and in a few days the house committee on inter state commerce, following the action of the same committee in the senate earlier in the week, is expected to rec ommend the return of telegraph and telephone lines to the private owners, to which additional interest attaches by reason of the action of Postmaster General Burleson this week in restor ing the old operating boards of the companies to power. Wood Sentiment Growing. Presidential politics in Washington at this time deals with only two names. General Leonard Wood occupies the center of the stage as the republican candidate, and the democrats talk no longer of anybody but Wilson. The situation as to General Wood is remarkable in that the politicians largely seem to have surrendered to the belief that he will be the republi can nominee next year. The demand for Wood, it is frankly admitted, comes Irom the rank and file and the develop- V J , AT ; $L? JXHS&jX& M, hit The launching of the Wonahbe at the plant of Geo. TP. Rodgers & Co., at Astoria, brings out the fact her sponsor, Mrs. H. W. Meyers of Salem, comes from a prominent American maritime family of the post-revolutionary war period, which helped to build and man . some of the famous ships of that historic time. Her great-grandfather, Josiah Barker, as a young man, served in the frigate La Hague, in the war of the revolution. Later, as United States naval constructor, he built the U. S. sloop of war, Frolic, which was captured by the British frigate Orpheus off M atanzas. In the war of 1812.

In 1843 he planned and constructed the Portsmouth and so well was she built that for more than 60 years she remained in the service of the United States navy. His son, Seth Barker, who could not resist the lure of the sea. fol lowed in his father's footsteps and Mrs. Meyers, in breaking the bottle on the modern Wonahbe, can be said to have done her share in keeping up the maritime tradition of the family. ment of the Wood sentiment so gener ally about the country seems to have forced the politicians to get into line, although they do it reluctantly. It is not because the politicians dislike Wood, but because the most of them were .committed to other candidacies which several weeks ago looked prom ising. The fact is that General v ood has no genuine enemies in the republi can party while he has many demo cratic admirers. Democrats who had hoped to oppose General Wood, in event that he is the republican candidate, on the ground that he is a military man, were horri fied this week to learn that their own party once put itself on record as de claring that General Wood was not a military man at all. In 1912 when the promotion of General Wood to major general was proposed the democrats consumed days in putting before con gress evidence that Wood was not a military man and that therefore he had no right to a high place in the army. He was a great administrator and a practical executive, they ad mitted, as was demonstrated by him while governor-general of Cuba, but as to being a military man they would have none of it. Today the Wilson candidacy looks as certain as the Wood candidacy. The democrats admit that they have no one else and say that if anyone can keep their party in power it is Woodrow Wilson. They do not declare with any real earnestness their belief that he can win, but, they say, he is their only hope. Gossip this week deals with only three names in the country-wide polit ical situation. Hoover'a Eye on Senate. The first is that of Herbert Hoover, food administrator, now In Europe, who is reported to be getting ready to run for the United States senate in Cali fornia. Although ne has always called himself a republican, the question is, does he so align himself now since in dorsing the president's proclamation of last October that the country must elect a democratic congress. The sale of the Sacramento Union, with the an nouncement that Ben Allen, Hoover's former food publicity man, is to be the editor-manager, is responsible for the rumor. Another story is that definite deci sion has been reached by the national democratic organization to oppose Sena tor Chamberlain in Oregon next year, about which Senator Chamberlain will be the least concerned man alive as shown by his recent course. And still another report tells us that the way has been found to put ex-Presl dent Taft on the supreme bench next year. "REPEATER" GOES TO JAIL Man of Many Aliases Leaves Hos pital Where Wounds Treated. Ramlow Wilson, who spent 90 days in the county jail in 1917 as Fred Wil son, ISO days in the county jail in 191S as Fred Morris and a term in the penitentiary at Walla Walla as Joe Jones, was brought to the county jail yesterday from the county hospital, where he has been recuperating from the effects of bird-shot fired at close range. He probably has lost the use of his left arm, say physicians. Wilson was arrested at Fairview after having been shot by the pro prietor of the general merchandise store as he tried to effect an entrance through a window.

Crippled Woman in Indianapolis to Receive Gift or Blooms From Portland. Twelve thousand rosebuds, the ma jority of them Caroline Testouts, left Portland last evening for Indianapolis and the Shrine convention. They are to help Portland's claims to the 1920 Shriners convention. The roses were packed in 15 large boxes. While the roses are being sent pri marily in the cause of the 1920 Shriners' convention for Portland, they will also perform a mission of altruism. Mrs. O. J. Frankel, acting police matron, who as head of the Portland Women's Federated clubs superintended the gath ering of a large share of the rosebuds, knows of a crippled woman living in Indianapolis. Because of her infirmity this woman has never been able to come to Portland and see the roses about which she has heard so much. Her name and address were telegraphed yesterday afternoon to W. J. Hofmann, illustrious potentate of Portland's Al Kader temple, with the instructions for a group of Portland Shriners to go in uniform and present to her a number of Portland's official roses. It was originally planned to send but 10,000 roses to Indianapolis. This num ber was supplied by the Portland park board alone. An extra 2000 were culled from gardens of members of the wom en's federated clubs. INFIDELITY CHARGES MADE Wife Says Husband Visited Another Woman; Divorce Asked. Lillian M. Conrad kept an enlarged photograph of another man on the par lor table in their home, complains An thony R. Conrad in a suit for divorce filed yesterday, and finally left her hus band March 8, 1919, with the announce ment that she "had never loved him and only married him out of spite." Bessie I. Sword complains that E. TJ. Sword after joining the navy at Brem erton in August, 1917, made infrequent visits to Portland and upon coming to this city called on another young woman instead of his wife and child. Other divorce actions filed yesterday were: Crystal Evelyn Welch against Orme X. 'Welch, desertion: Eva F. Ross against C. W. Ross, cruelty; and Mar garet Valentine against Frank Valen tine, desertion. CARD OP THANKS.

Unless 6000 rooms in private Port land homes are listed before Tuesday night at the housing bureau in Liberty temple the Victory Rose Festival will not be a success. Such was the announcement made yesterday by Ira L. Rigrgs, president of the Victory Rose Festival board of di rectors. The Liberty temple will be kept open all today that rooms may be listed. The housing bureau may be reached by calling Main 313 by those who cannot personally call at the bu reau. Less than 1000 rooms have as yet been listed. Within the last week more than 2500 applications for reservations during the Ad club convention and the Victory Rose Festival have been re fused by Portland hotels, already over crowded. Some hotel men estimate that 10,000 rooms In private homes will be necessary if out-of-town visitors are fully accommodated. Julius Meier has declared his will ingness to co-operate in the emer gency. "My home is not large, but our spare bedroom will be occupied by a Victory Rose Festival guest," he de clared yesterday. "Very few Portland business men are anxious to make money by taking in roomers, but nearly every business man of this city is eager to increase the good reputation of Portland. This city has a reputation for hospitality and it must be sus tained." The same plea for the reputation of Portland was made by Richard W.

John L.

"We have no spare room in our house at the present time," he said, "but this is a time when everybody must sacrifice for the sake of the city." H. W. Arbury, chairman of the hous ing bureau, appointed Mrs. Caroline Jones, adjutant of the women's league for national service, and Mrs. Norman Christie of the war camp community service, as a special committe to solicit rooms. The committee began its work Thursday. It has visited small hotels and rooming houses somewhat removed from the business section and has listed every available room. Norman Ralston, 2 6, Dies.

Church of Jr.ua CkrUt of Latter-day Satntat Salt Lake City. Vtak. Xotei For free copies of other articles of tola series, aeod request to the author. "We believe all that God ha. re vealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many arreat and Important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.' (Articles of Faith). We live In an epoch of unusual activ ity, both of thought and deed, an age of unprecedented achievement in mate rial things, an era of unbounded prom ise. The fever of effort burns in the blood and brain of man. The discoveries and inventions of a year surpass the rec ord of centuries bygone. So many, so momentous are the new developments of this day that we live in constant ex pectation of other and greater things. Incredulity as to the possible is out of fashion. Every fresh discovery or ap plication to service is another find in the rich mines of truth, and continuous revelation is a feature of the age. Vhat would be thought of the as tronomer who would dare affirm that man already knows all that may be learned of the heights and depths of Epace that we may not, must not. ex pect or hope to learn of satellites, plan ets or suns heretofore unknown? What of the geologist who would say that the atony pages of the earth's crust have been fully read, and that no new record is to be found, no further truths to be made plain? What of the chemist who shuns the laboratory because, for sooth, he thinks that new discoveries are impossible, and the best he can do is to follow the lore of ancient books? Such men. for such declarations, would be deservedly scorned. But note this terrifying exception, and the awful inconsistency of it all. It has been long taught that nothing new can come direct from the heavens to mankind, that Divine revelation be longs to the past! Dare we thus teach? In so doing are we not blasphemously assuming to seal the lips of the Eternal One. to ignore the hand of God as a fac tor in current events, and in our hearts dethrone the Supreme Ruler? Is the civilized world rejecting real theism, which embraces faith in a liv ing, loving, intelligent and omnipotent God, and reverting to pagan deism that misty, malformed conception of a deity bound and trammeled by man prescribed limitations? A church that lives not. grows not. develops not. in short a church that is dead, has no attractions for me. I pro fess no allegiance to a creed that is always behind the times, now and for ever finished and fossilized In its un alterable incompleteness.

My Church must be up-to-date. Its religion vital and progressive. That Church must be in direct communica tion with headquarters the source of unfailing wisdom. It must give me tho latest news from God, information as to the events of time, assurances as to the possibilities .-.nd certainttes of eter nity. I accept the Holy Writ of ancient days for just what it purports to be. It is indispensable to the world's advance ment. Without the Holy Bible and other Sacred Scriptures the human race would, be In a deplorable state. But living prophecy, current-day revelation, aro likewise essential. One is the letter, the other the spirit that giveth life. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints alone do T find tho satisfaction I have sought. Its profes sions and claims would be bold to tho verge of blasphemy were they false: but I bear record unto all who read that they are true. In this, the Church, of my choice, I witness a vigor and vitality that speak of eternal duration: herein I find an ever-growing record of revealed truth new Scriptures that are their own justification, serve to explain and glorify the Sacred Writ of other days. I discover no Inconsistency, far less contradiction, between latter day Scriptures and the inspired rec ords of olden times. Their agreement is such as to declare a common author ship. Is this up-to-date religion really new? Only In the sense of having been re established among men, with authority and power restored; new only as each recurring dawn is the birth of a new day, though the light of that day is the light of the same sun that shone before. Every day is both old and new, each the sum of yesterdays that hav gone, and the assuring promise of all the tomorrows yet unborn. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints will ever be up-to-date: its activities will endure even when time shall be no more. It possesss this essen tial feature of perfection the life prin ciple that insures advancement. It lives and operates under the direction of The Christ, whose name it bears.
