RABBIT DRIVE NETS 1500 PASCO CITIZENS CONVERT Ratification Held to Re&t With President Hope Seen for Final Action in December. PESTS INTO PROFITS. SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 22. Henry M. White of Seattle, immigration commissioner for ihe district of Washington, received today from As tiHtant Secretary of Labor Post a telegram specifically refusing to authorize him to bring deportation proceedings against the alien I. W. W. arrested at Centralia and declaring again that the department of labor holdi, as it has always held, that membership in the I. W. W. does not in itself constitute cause for deporta tion, and that specific acts against the government must be proved to ! justify the issuance of deportation warrants. Mr. White immediately notified L. I. Thompson, state attorney-general, of the telegram received from Mr. Pot, and a-dispatch from Olympia says that Mr. Thompson has tele graphed Senator Miles Poindexter at Washington, D. C, informing him that t Commissioner White's hands have 'been tied by his superior's or ders and suggesting to the senator that if the . law has been properly construed by the department of labor steps be taken to have it "amended immediately." Action Vrgred by While. Immediately after the Centralia murders Mr. White, without waiting for instructions from his department, went to Centralia for the purpose of investigating the situation and taking steps to deport aliens arrested against whom criminal charges were not preferred. At the same time he telegraphed the labor department for instructions, urging that action be taken. His telegram from Assistant Secretary Post was in answer to these tele grams. In his telegram Mr. Post said: "Answering yours of the 13th and ISth: The department adheres to its previous decisions, that under the I. W. W. constitution mere membership in that organization does not bring aliens within the scope of the act of October. 1918. but if it is shown that any alien, whether a member of said organization or not, has individually or as one of a group advocated or done anything, or conspired with oth ers to do anything bringing him with in the scope of said statute, arrest warrant will issue, but warrants will not issue without the usual prima facie proof showing such advocating. acting or conspiracy. Telegraphic warrants will issue when case emergent." Many Arrested, Few Held. Mr. White said today that he and his investigators at Centralia had ex amined 14 of the alien 1. W . W . ar rested there, but had been able to hold, under the labor department' 'instructions, only one of the lot. man now in custody under deporta tion complaint as a result of a prima facie allowing of overt acts against the government. "The department's Instructions plainly prevent me from proceeding against the aliens arrested in Centra lia or elsewhere unless overt acts can be shown," said M r. White, "unless the department sends further instruc tion or the law is changed. ".During the war and just before the Seattle general strike of last Febru ary I filed charges against every known and active I. W. W.itiy men could discover, and sought to have them deported, but at that time the department held, as it does now, that membership in the I. V. W. in itself was not a ground for deportation." At olympia this morning Attorney General Thompson said he considered the action of the labor department as a "distinct check to the efforts of the state legal department to clean out the I. W. W. colony in Centralia and similar colon ies elsewhere." 500 Men and Boys Round Up Ani mals; Receipts to Be Placed in School Fund. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 22. (Spe cial.) When the pestiferous jack rabbit became a nuisance to Pasco ranchers to the extent of thousands of dollars' losses, it was decided that he had to pay for his raids on the alfalfa and grain fields. A rabbit drive was arranged and last Sunday, November 16, hundreds of Pasco citizens and neighboring ranchers or ganized to hunt down the fleet-footed little "jack." The drive, which was participated in by more than 500 men and boys, was held under the auspices of the biological survey of the department of agriculture and was in charge of Leo K. Pouch, Lnited States agricul tural representative at Pullman. The drive netted between 1500 and 2000 rabbits, which were shipped to the markets of the northwestern cities, the funds derived from their sale being placed in the Pasco school fund. Rabbits have been ruining the Pasco alfalfa fields, in one case de stroying about 100 tons of alfalfa in one field, the damage in this one in stance being estimated at about $4800. Wheat fields also have suffered from the pest, and in many cases, they have destroyed enough of the crops to wipe out the rancher s profit. The drive started at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, the drivers being spread over a distance of about four miles. No firearms were permitted, as it was feared that someone might be hurt. The participants began marching towards a huge corral con structed four miles out of Pasco, and which was built in such manner as allow a small entrance for the rab bits, but did not permit of their escape, the drivers formed a fan shaped line, gradually lessening the distance between men as it ap proached the corral. As the drive neared the corral, the rabbits fled through the narrow gate into the corral in great herds. When practically all were penned in, the gate was closed and preparations made for the kill in g. Each of the drivers used a club in te killing. The receipts from their sale, near ly $400, were placed in the schoo fund of Pasco. The principal marke for the rabbits is Portland, where it is estimated that nearly 500 rabbits are sold in the markets daily, al though many were, shipped to Seattle and Spokane. FAIR FACES NEW PLAINT EPIDEMIC AT THE DALLES Smallpox Is General and Drastic Measures Threatened. THE DALLES, Or., Nov. 22. (Spe cial.)

The second complaint in two days filed against R. L. Schee and A, L. Clark, concession managers of the Interstate fair at Prineville and the Sherman county fair at Moro, was received yesterday in the county clerk's office. The plaintiff is the Arnold Amusement company, charg ing that Schee violated a contract entered into in September, when he agreed that the Arnold people should have 10 per cent of the proceeds of their show s and 50 per cent of the sum from all concessions. After the company had expended J 1020.50 for transportation to Prineville it was found that another concern had been permitted to operate concessions. Three thousand dollars' damages is now asked. Schee is well known in Crook county as a promoter of enterprises at fairs. He was connected with the Prineville commercial club and ar ranged exhibits for central Oregon sections at numerous fairs. EACE TREATY DISCUSSED OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Nov. 22. Senator Mc Nary left tonight for Oregon with plans to spend a few days in the state before returning to his duties in the next session of congress. I am leaving for my home in Ore gon today for rest and relaxation. he said. "T am very tired and feel the need of a change." Regarding the peace treaty he continued. "I do not hlnk it is the wish of the senate to kill the treaty of peace. This desire resides only in the minds of a few of he senators, not more than 15 of the entire membership of 96. T he eventual fate of the treaty rests largely with the president. If he desires the covenant of the league of nations accepted without reserva tions, the senate as composed today will disappoint him. If he will ac cept reservations similar to those of fered by the majority of trfta senate, tnough in part modified, the treaty will be ratified. If agreement is reached early in December among the trierids of the treaty it can be rati ne i during that month. This by all means should be dene. Congress should be relieved of the presence of the treaty, including the covenant or the League of Nations, so that it can proceed-to deal with rail roads, strikes, merchant marine and other pressing questions. I have no doubt that the treaty would have been ratified during the day that congress adjourned, had it not been for the president's letter to the democratic members of the sen- ate, wherein he declared that the ac ceptance of the resolutions of ratifi cation would result in nullification rather than ratification of the treaty Tr is letter had the effect of with holding from the support of the reso lution a sufficient number of demo crats to defeat the treaty. "I hope that the treaty will be rati fied during the first days of the next session of congress, which convenes December 1, I should like to see the experiment of tZie League of Nations tried and have faith that eventually it will prove a great preventive of war.
