ON NEW COMMISSION
SPECIAL MEASURE EXACTED
TO COVER APPOIXTMEXT.
Bill Calculated to Prevent Doubt on
Eligibility to Service on Board
for Fish and Game.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan.
17. (Special. John Gill of Portland
will remain a member of the newly
created state board of fish and game
commissioners. To prevent any doubt
as to his eligibility to serve, the sen
ate and house this afternoon enacted
special legislation exempting the
members of the fish and game com
mission from certain definitions of the
constitution. The point was raised
after Senator Gill's election to the
commission that there is a constitu
tional prohibition against a member
of the legislature filling an office
created by the session of which he is
a member.
To straighten out the situation, the
attorney-general drafted a bill calcu
lated to cure this with respect to
members of the fish and game com
mission, and Representative C. C.
Moore of Multnomah had it passed
unanimously in house and senate.
Mr. Gill had decided to resign when
the issue was raised and so Informed
a number of sportsmen; but the pas
sage of the curative act caused him
to agree to remain. It is reported that
H. IS. Van Duzer and Richard Price,
who have been fighting the old com
mission, sent urgent messages to Sen
ator Gill not to consent to remain on
the new commission in any circum
stances. There now remains but one member
of the commission to be selected, and
this is to be the chairman, the ninth
member. The new law provides that
he shall be a neutral and act as an
arbitrator between the fish commis
sioners and the game commissioners
In matters of dispute. E. V. Carter,
a banker of Ashland, is being dis
cussed as a probable selection for the
chairmanship.

mund of Marion county was selected
as a member of the special committee
to investigate the f ish and game com
mission when Senator Gill, who had
prevously been named on the commit
tee, submitted his resignation. Sen
ator Gill withdrew from the commit

"PUSSYFOOT" IS ELATED
William E. Johnson in London
Comments on V. S. Prohibition
LONDON, Jan. 17. William E.
(Pussyfoot) Johnson, the American
Anti-Saloon league organizer, in
speech today referred to the going
into effect In the United States or tne
prohibition amendment.
"This is a solemn moment for
me," Mr. Johnson declared, "Because
from this day the flag of my country
will no longer float over any brewery
or distillery. My flag is clear and
from beginning to end our statute
books will direct war against this
traffic in human misery and de
bauchery."
Mr. Johnson said he was looking
forward to the success of the prohibi
tion campaign in England.

STRAIGHT PARTY

Deciding Ballot.
BILL EVOKES LIVELY DEBATE
Finish for Oregon's Independ
ent Voters Asserted.
PIERCE SEES OBSTACLE
House Promptly Passes Measure
With Few Adverse Votes; Move
to Reconsider Ineffective.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan.
7. (Special.) It required the vote
of President Vinton to pass the
traight party ticket ballot in the
senate this afternoon, for without his
support the political measure would
have failed to secure the constitu
tional number of votes. The bill
passed after a brief but spirited de
bate, in which the democratic mem-
Ders ana three republican senators
fought to defeat it.
J-ater the house duplicated the
action by passing the measure
promptly.
This," Bighed Senator Pierce, dem
ocrat, "is the finish for the inde
Rendents in Oregon."
iinown as S. B. 53, the straight
party ticket ballot was introduced by
tne senate Judiciary committee, which
cuusisis or eight members, half of
whom -voted on third reading to kill
the measure. The bill was drafted bv
Representative Gallagher and given
to the senate Judiiary committee to
sponsor, the theory being that If the
measure could get through the sen
ate Its passage in the house would be
a simple affair. The bill is practically
a copy of the measure passed by the
nouse in 1919, but which was
smothered in the senate judiciary
committee on a plea of Senator Pierce.
Bill la Attacked.
Since Xhe)reaiiiafl-announced the
existence of the party bill, members
have been showered with telegrams
rrom Portland asking that It be de
feated. The civic club sent many such
messages.
Senator Moser explained the work
ing of the bill, stating that It will
make voting a more simple matter.
but that it will not prevent the In
telligent voter from making his per
sonal selections. The bill is a party
matter, admitted Senator Moser, and
as Oregon is a republican state and
the legislature is largely republican.
the bill should pass. Senator Gill re
cited that he was one- of the commit
tee which years ago evolved the Aus
tralian secret ballot system for Ore
gon, which requires selection and in
telligence in voting, and he stigma
tized the pending bill as a reflection
on the intelligence of the Oregon
electorate.
"Bad Politics," Saya Handley.
Opposition to the bill was voiced
by Senators Thomas and Handley, re
publicans. The reason democrats
have been getting elected in Oregon,
contended the senator from Jackson,
is because the republicans have not
been nominating their best men, and
he declared that when democrats are
elected in a state overwhelmingly re
publican something must be wrong
with the republican nominees. In his
speech. Senator Thomas predicted that
Senator Pierce will be the democratic
candidate for governor the next time
an election is held for that office, a
statement which Mr. Pierce did not
deny.
Senator Handley of Tillamook
argued that no democrat has ever
been elected in his county, but his

EVENTS OF THE WEEK, ILLUSTRATED BY
MOVIES ARE TAKEN
OF PAPERS OF 76
OLD PARCHMENTS SHOWN. TO
FIGHT RED AGITATION'.
Lansing Opens Vaults Where Cher.
lshed Documents Have Been in
Hiding for 18 Years.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. Recent ac
tivities of radical propagandists led
Secretary Lansing this week to dis
play for the first time In 18 years
the original parchments of the Dec
laration of Independence and the Con
stitution of the United States.
Jn the presence of a group of offi
cials the parchments were removed
from the protecting walls of a steel
safe inclosing them and placed on
view in the state department for an
hour, while- motion picture cameras
recorded their appearance for the
benefit of the 110,000,000 persons liv
ing under the principles enunciated
by them.
Theaters from Maine to California
and from the Gulf of Mexico to Can
ada will exhibit the films in an ef
fort "to remove from the public mind
in every city, town and village any
possible effects of recent 'red' activi
ties." Owing to their age, exhibition of
the parchments is a Tare event. Ex
posure to light even though Ml-h
sheet is protected carefully from air
Dy nermetically sealed glass plates,
caused additional fading of- the ink
inscribing the immortal words which
brought the republic into being.
Reds Cause of Move.
It was only the hysterical clamor
of radical agitators, which caught the
ear of many local citizens and be
cause of the reaction that induced
"u'ng to enlist the co
operation of the press and motion
picture industry to remind the peo
ple of their debt to the land in which
they liye. Fearing a great crush to
see the precious sheets if the ninn
became known, with the possibility
of serious damage resulting, an
nouncement of what was done waa
not made public until today.
Both the declaration and constitu
tion "were found in excellent condi
tion. The former for many years has
been vry faded, due to the fact that
letterpress copy, from which re
productions have come, was made
about 70 years ago. and in the wet
ting necessary much of the. ink was
lost. The signatures are very Indis
tinct, except for the famous "John
Hancock" written extra large with
flourishes and right in the most
prominent place, so that his advocacy
of the document's principles should be
known to all the world.
In an address to the company wit
nessing the exhibition of the docu
ments. Secretary Lansing said he had
found the constitution safe so far as
the forces of nature were concerned,
and that the American people should
protect it equally well in their minds
and hearts.
Four rapera Make Htatory.
"Four great documents." Mr. Lan
sing said, "mark the progress of the
struggle of a thousand years to at
tain the civil liberty which has found
expression in American citizenship
Magna Charta in 1215. the English
bill of rights In 1689. the Declaration
of Independence in 1776 and the con
stitution of the United States of
America in 1788. Epoch-making as
is each of these documents. It is the
constitution which represents the
highest expression of the sovereignty
of a free people.
"This great instrument, whosetex-
cellence has been proved in war as
well as in peace, is the channel
through which our national life finds
true expression. It is the bulwark
of our individual rights and the
guardian of the destinies of the
republic. With reverence we stand
In the presence of the constitution of
the United States, beholding in it the
symbol of democracy; victorious after
centuries of conflict; a visible evi
dence that this nation is builded on
the eternal rock of human liberty.
"May we never surrender this great
birthright of American citizens. May
we give to it our undivided allegiance.
May we defend it, even with our
lives, from every enemy who seeks to
destroy it in principle or power. As
it shielded our forefathers and has
shielded us, let us always shield It
from profaning hands."

SUPPRESSED LETTER IS READ
Navy's Course During War Is
Strongly Criticised.
PITTMAN'GETS BACK TALK
Audience Is Aghast When Officer
Relates Final Instructions
Before Going Abroad.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Jan. 17. Women nodded
their heads in approval, and the audi
ence waa composed mostly of women,
and. women and men bit their lips and
laughed as Vice-Admiral William S.
Sims snapped out his answers to Sen
ator Pittman of Nevada today at the
hearing of the senate sub-committee
investigating the distributing of naval
decorations. The old sea .dog present
ed an entirely new type of witness
before congressional committees.
Incidentally, he caused a sensation
by getting into the record a sup
pressed letter to Secretary. Daniels
which probably will result in the in
vestigation of the entire course of the
navy department during the war.
He was so entirely different from
any other military or naval witness
appearing at an official investigation
that the effect was startling, and at
times almost shocking. He never
smiled and he never lost his head, and
to questions put to him in the form of
a defense of some act of the navy de
partment by Senator I'ittman, his an
swers came back so quickly that the
large audience packing the committee
room sometimes became more inter
ested in the man than in the subject
under investigation.
Sims Talks Bark.
.Su.cb... witnesses are ordinarily very
deferential toward United Slates
senators and there is a bowing and
patronizing manner about their hear
ing on the witness stand that reduces
the respect of the onlooker. Not so
with Admiral Sims. He talked back
j to Senator I'ittman Just as he might
to a fellow officer with whom he
disagreed, such retorts as this being
characteristic: "Oh, well, senator, that
Is Just a difference of opinion be
tween a civilian and an old gray
headed admiral of the navy."
Senator I'ittman said he could not
see why service on the shore draw
ings plans for the dispatch of vessels
constituted distinguished service while
the officers 'who executed those or
ders at sea were not recommended
for awards. The old officer said:
"If you cannot understand it after
all that I have said. I cannot explain
it to you.''
Baicley'a Report Head.
Senator Pittman read the report on
the sinking of Bagley's ship, the de
stroyer Jacob W. Jones, which showed
that Commander Bagley's first im
pulse when the submarine was sight
ed was to go and give himself up to
the German commander with the idea
of saving his crew.
"I see nothing about that to entitle
the officer to exceptional treatment,
and I decline to discuss that case any
further." ripped out the admiral, and
the Nevada senator turned then to
some other question, his face flushing
again as.it had been wont to do on
several occasions.
Admiral ' Sims' great victory, one
more signal, perhaps, than anything
that happened to the American naval
forces In the war. came when he suc
ceeded' in getting into the record the

in aeieating H. u. 43, by the roads
and highways committee, which
sought to repeal the act of the last
session requiring a specific gravity
test for all gasoline shipped into or
sold in this state.
the bill passed the house yester
day by a substantial majority and
seemed certain of passage in the sen
ate tonight. An extended debate tired
the senators to such an extent that in
voting ihey 'frankly admitted they
had become so confused they would
vote against the bill on the theory
that to dvn so would be playing safe
The vote stood even until the name
of President Vinton was called, when
he voted in the negative. The bill
received 15 votes as against 14 to
defeat it. but 18 votes are required
in the senate for the passage of any
measure.

house and senate of the resolution
submitting the question of restoring
capital punishment to a vote of the
people at the next election was ef
fected tonight during the closing
hours. A joint conference committee
of both branches made a few minor
amendments which - did not change
the effect of the measure.
Three companion bills, defining cap
ital punishment and providing for
executions, defining treason and its
penalty by death and another bill
providing for the enforcement of the
death penalty, also were passed in
order' that they may become laws if
the people-'decide to restore the death
penalty.
