Coming Week Expected.
OREGO.NIAS NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Nov. 8. Early disin
tegration of the administration forces
In their -opposition to the majority
reservations to the peace treaty was
confidently forecast in private inter
views this afternoon with leaders of
the original reservation group oh the
republican side.
There was much going on tinder the
vurface today to indicate a breaking
lown on the administration side of
Vhe senate, and unless the White
aouse gets busy over Sunday with a
ew weak-kneed supporters the end
nay come sooner than has been an--iclpated.
k Hitchcock Makes Overtures.
Early today Senator Hitchcock
lade overtures to the majority side,
iledging democratic support to the
econd reservation relating to with
rawal from the league if one change
.'ere made. This was the change
hlch was presented in the amend
' lent of Senator Nelson of Minnesota,
: "provide that withdrawal from- the
ague should be by "joint" instead
"concurrent" resolution of con
gress as the reservation now reads.
The difference is that a concurrent
solution becomes effective without
te signature of the president, while
joint resolution is a legislative act
;quirlng the president's approval to
icom a Jaw. Fenotor Lodge, ma
rity leader, had no particular ob-xtions-to
making the change, bul
could not be done without showing
' Ki faith toward Senator Hoke Smith,
imocrat, of Georgia, at whose sug
;stion the committee on foreign af
urs provided that the act should be
y "concurrent" resolution.
Wllwa "Slight" Protested.
The objection advanced by Senator
alson in a most dramatic speech
iticislng President Wilson bitterly
r his partisanship in other matters,
it praising his course on the league
' nations, was that the reservation
v presented to the senate was a
light" to the chief executive. Itais-
. g his voice to a high pitch he
louted, "Let's not, for God's sake,
y we don't trust him."
Senator Nelson's charge that the
ovision he was opposing originated
.' i the spleen of fellow republicans
is amusing to those who know that
i author was the democratic een-
.. or from Georgia. The vote on the
. :lson amendment again demonstrat-
I the perfect organization of the
; ajority by failure to enlist more
an one other republican Vote be-
les Nelson's, that of McCumber of
orth Dakota, with three democrats,
jed of Missouri, Gore of Oklahoma
id Smith of Georgia, voting with
, e republicans.
The long speechmaklng of Senator
slsb of Montana this afternoon, it
- is charged by some of the majority
i, was to delay further votes on
e reservations until there was op
Ttunity to bring administration
essure on some democratic nenators
. ported to be "slipping." Whether
. ia is true or not, it is certain that
;veral additional democrats have
ade up their minds to vote for res-
- .vatlons there being at least s half
. sen of these immediately in sight.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon
2nt over to the majority this after
)on, as forecast in these' dispatches
sterday, in voting for reservation
: i. 2, with reference to withdrawal
om the league. Every republican
ited for this reservation, although
nators Nelson and McCumber both
rst tried to mend it, and democrats
ipporting it besides Mr. Chamber
In were Reed of Missouri, Uore of
'Alahoma, Smith of Georgia and
-'alsh of Massachusetts. It was also
inounced that Senator Shields, dem
rat of Tennessee, would have voted
r ft but illness kept him away.
Treaty Fight IVear End.
The votes of Senators Chamberlain
' ad Smith of Georgia created general
irprtse and gave the first inkling of
hat is ' surely coming. Senator
hamberlain can be- counted on to
upport at least three more reserva
ions and as the vote'goes on several
Cher democrats are expected to follow,
.'he break away may be a stampede
,.j Tuesday or Wednesday and final
disposition of the treaty during the
roming week is practically assured,
lthough today's sparring by Senator
Valah of Montana has delayed it
iomewhat.
Front now on the course of the
Teaty will be largely one of parlia
mentary proceedure, which makes
aiost uninteresting reading, but this
much It will not hurt to repeat, the
success of the treaty depends alto
gether upon administration friends
coming down off their perch at the
right time and supporting a resolu
tion of ratification carrying reserva
tions. It Is a foregone conclusion that the
reservations will be adopted. Then
a resolution of ratification carrying
the reservations' will be laid before
the senate by the majority.
Administration Most Act.
Here is where the administration
senators must afct or the treaty is
lost. They have said that they will
vote against it. If they do there are
enough irreconcilable republicans
who, voting with them, will defeat
the resolution.
Senator Hitchcock, administration
leader, will move for reconsideration
A point of order will be made against
this from the majority side. If Vice
President Marshall rules with Sena
tor Hitchcock, as he doubtless will,
there will be an appeal from the
chair, which, the way matters are
running now, will overturn the ruling
and the treaty will be dead.
It can onjy be revived by being
picked up and reintroduced. It must
then again take all of the tedious and
tortuous course which has been cov
ered since it was brought home from
Paris by Mr. Wilson last July. It is
therefore up to Senator Hitchcock
and his followers to say what will
happen.
A republican friend of the treaty,
who was active for months in the ef
forts of the mild reservationists to
reconcile all differences and save the
pact, said today;
Pride Mast Be Downed.
"It is up to Mr. Wilson and the
constituents of Mr. Hitchcock and
several other democrats to let them
know that they will not ctand for any
trifling. These senators must swal
low their pride and vote for the reso
lution of ratification as It comesfrom
. the majority or the league of nations
and all els that is good in the treaty
- will bo lost forever or indefinitely
postponed."
wjUh the treaty fi&h.t ia the senate
fast reaching an exciting stage, all
sight has been almost lost of the
house proceedings. The house haa not
been losing a minute in the last week,
considering minor legislation, whil
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce whipped the railroad
bill into shape. This committee, of
which Representative .Webster of
Washington is the only western mem
ber, has been working early and late
to get the measure, one of the most
important of the session, ready to be
taken up in the house, Tuesday.
Majority Leader Mondell said today
that the bill would be passed by the
house before the end of the week,
and would complete the legislative
programme adopted by the repub
licans when they fook control of con
gress in May. Then the committee
report recommending the unseating of
Victor Berger, socialist member pf
congress from Milwaukee, convicted
of sedition, will be taken up and. with
very little debate, the report will be
sustained and Mr. Berger removed
from office.
Immediately after this action the
leaders of both houses hope to agree
on an adjournment to give members
a few days' relaxation before the reg
ular session convenes the first Mon
doy in December. This has been a
hard session, which, coupled with the
extreme heat of the summer, has re
sulted in several deaths in the two
houses and much sickness.
The elections of last Tuesday are
still being discussed for several rea
sons. In the first place, the contest
on governor in Maryland Is so close
that neither candidate Id sure what
has happened. Ritchie, the demo
cratic candidate, has steadily lost in
the official count, and today only had
a margin of 127 votes. As there are
few returns yet to be received, hia
final majority likely will bo about
160 or slightly less. The most sig
nificant feature of the Maryland elec
tion in the minds of some politicians
is that those counties in Maryland
which run to the line of the District
of Columbia, being, as It were, at the
front and side doors of the White
House, either turned over Into the re
publican column or almost wiped out
their former democratic majorities. -
Now comes James D. Black, gov
ernor of Kentucky, overwhelmingly
defeated by Edwin P. Morrow, repub
lican, and blames his defeat on Wood
row Wilson, president and leader of
his own party. He declares that the
unpopularity of Mr. Wilson and his
league of nations In Kentucky did it.
PAN ENGINEER TESTIFIES
DESIGNER OF ENGINE SAYS
TEST IS SATISFACTORY.
Witness In Fraud Trial Asserts
Pandolfo Ordered Reliable Mo
tor for New Automobile.
CHICAGO, Nov. 8. Five of the new
model Pan engines mounted on chas
ses made good records In road tests
two weeks ago, Victor Gauvreau, de
signer of the engine, testified today
in the trial of 13 officers of the Pan
Motor company for misuse of the
mails in selling stock.
He said that Pandolfo had asked
him to produce a reliable engine and
a sturdy car with high clearance, low
center of gravity and short turning
ability and that this was- the kind of
a car he did produce.
Attorney Brower of the defense
brought out evidence to show that the
length of time taken to develop the
Pan car was no longer than the time
used in developing any other new
model.

CEMENT CASE JURY
Verdict in Federal Trial
Declared Impossible.
Is
NEW HEARING PROMISED
Officers of Portland Company Ac
cused of Anti-Trust I.a,v Vio
lation Out oa Ball.
After 12 hours' deliberation the Jury
in the case of R. P. Butchart and
Clark M. Moore, the cement case
which has been holding the attention
of Judge Bean's federal court for the
past three weeks, was discharged last
night at JO o'clock, having failed to
reach a verdict.
Mr. Butchart, president, and Mr.
Moore, sales manager of the Oregon
Portland Cement company, had been
charged by the government with vio
lation of the Sherman anti-trust law.
the government alleging that they
had arranged with officers of other
cement companies for a division of
sales territory and establishment of
prices. Officers of other companies in
Washington and California, similarly
charged by the government, had
pleaded guilty and were fined $2500
each. The two Oregon men preferred
to have the case go to trial, however.
The Jury retired for deliberation at
10 A. M. yesterday and at 10 o'clock
last night Judge Bean called the
members down for a report. Foreman
F. H. Dietzel reported a disagree
ment of the Jury and individual mem
bers expressed the belief that the
Jury could not agree and that further
deliberation would be useless. Judge
Bean then dismissed the Jurors.
The two men will be tried again,
according to the declaration of Bar
nett Goldstein, first assistant United
States district attorney. Meanwhile
they will remain out on the 10,000
bail which they furnished at the open
ing of the case, it was stated. The
case marks the conclusion of B. K.
Haney's service as United States dis
trict attorney, Mr. Haney's resigna
tion dating to take effect at the ton
elusion of the trial.
The federal court will open again
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning for
consideration of the case of the gov
ernment versus T. A. Woodruff,
charged with stealing goods on inter
state shipment. Tho cae of Joe Riley
and Dorothy Riley, charged with
counterfeiting, will be taken up later.
END STRIKE, U. S. DEMAND
(Continued From Firat Pare.)
President Wilson's denunciation of
the strike and said that the struc
ture of the government was endan
gered by the defendants' 'Violation of
the fuel-control law.
Strike Declared Illegal.
From that point the proceedings
were pressed by Judge Anderson,
who gave the attorneys for the de
fense little opportunity to go Into
legal points, which they tried to get
into the record. He upheld in every
particular the contentions of the gov
ernment that the strike was illegal
under the Lever food and fuel act and
jaid that tho upholding of this act
was the only question before the
court.
At one stage he indicated that the
right to strike was not applicable to
the case because none of the defend
ants to the proceedings was earning
hia living by working as a. miner, but
he allowed the arguments to proceed
on the theory that the union officials
were proper agents of tha miners,
carrying out orders given by their
principals.
Almost immediately, however, the
court threw the discussion back, to
tho wartime powers of the fuel and
food control law and advised the de
fense attorneys' not to. waste- time by
argning other question. Judge An
derson next stifled this line of debate
also by announcing that tie was going
to hold the Lever act constitutional
and in effect until President Wilson
formally decrees the end of the war.
Law Marat Be Enforced.
"This case," he said in issuing the
injunction, "involves solely the ques
tion of enforcing the law. It ia my
absolute duty to uphold the law. which
no man ana no body of men has the
right to override. Were we to sub
mit to even the slightest degree &
contrary right, we would nndermine
the foundations of the republic
"The government is right in seek
ing, to uphold its own laws and in
asking its courts to aid it. These
men have done an illegal act from
which Irreparable Injury results to
tha complaisant."
The injunction, prepared by the attorney-general's
department in Wash
ington, repeated the restraining order
of October 31. which forbade the Issu
ing of any messages of "exhortation
or encouragement" to the strikers
and also tied up the union's relief
funds. It then provided the mandate
for cancellation of the strike calL
Withdrawal Ia Ordered.
The cancellation mandate follows:
"And they (the defendants) are
farther enjoined from,permltting tho
strike order lsrfued on. or about Octo
ber 15, 191, to the miners and mine
workers in the bituminous coal fields
of the United States to take effect
on midnight of October 31, 1919. to
longer remain in effect, commanding
them to desist from aiding such a
strike by permitting said strike order
to remain in effect, and commanding
them to issue a withdrawal and can
cellation of said strike order .and
communicate the same to district or
local unions, committees and mem
bers of the international United Mine
Workers cf America, as fully and
completely as the said strike order
has been heretofore distributed and
circulated to the said organization, its
member district or local unions or
any committee thereof."
If left to pursue its normal course
the injunction proceedings probably
will rest until November 20. The de
fendants have until that data to file
a formal answer and when that time
expires it ia within the province of
the government attorneys to ask that
the temporary Injunction issued today
be made permanent.
Miners to Appeal Case.
It was pointed out by government
officials that this was expected to re
sult, inasmuch as Judge Anderson de
cided the Issues in the case today.
Attorneys for the miners indicated
that they will take the case to the
United States circuit court of appeals
in Chicago at the earliest possible
date. Such action, however, will not
affect the injunction proceedings nor
the government's plan to ask that the
temporary injunction be made perma
nent on November 20. In the mean
time, it is pointed out. the court's or
der to call off the strike must be
carried out.
