in Railroad Bill.
OREGOXIA.V NEWS BUREAU
Washington, Jan. 31. Just when the
peace treaty appears like it is down
and out it is about to come back. A
little surprise appears to be awaiting
Senators Walsh and Hitchcock, who,
thrnuirh the former, grave notice to
day that on February 1-0 a motion will
be made to bring the treaty back into
the senate.
This notice was Riven without
knowledge of the fact that over on
the republican side of the senate a
movement was already under way for
having the treaty taken up much
sooner than February 10. It is pos-
ible that a motion will be made Mon
day or Tuesday by Senator ixidse,
majority leader, and he will have be
hind him all of the republican votes'
except li irreconuilables.
Old Resolutions to Come I' p.
The democrats will support his mo
tion, which will give all of the votes
necessary to secure action. And once
again the country will be regaled for
days wrth speeches on article 10, the
Monroe doctrine and Shantung. It is
Drobable. however, that before the
debate proceeds far the cloture will
be applied once more with a view of
setting the old Lodge resolution to a
vote. It has been ascertained deft
nitely by the republican leaders that
there never can be a ratification of
iht r my if the reservations, article
10, and the Monroe doctrine are weak
ened. The purpose, therefore, is to
give the delegates one more chance
to vote for ratification with the Lodge
reservations just as they stand. There
are known to be at least SO democrats
.who will not again oppose these res
ervations.
Democrats Won Over.
The campaign made by Mr. Bryan
as brought many democrats to the
onclusion that the treaty would be
etter ratified with the Lodge reser-
ations than not ratified at all. Fur
hermore, there are Bigns that the
'resident is in a more conciliatory
nod than heretofore.
Conferees on the railroad bill are
,tting near to an agreement, aftet
week of almost continual confer-
es, but it began to appear today
t the senate conferees will be corn
led to yield on anti-strike legisla-
n, of which they were so confident
few days ago. The short time in
hich to get the measure into law is
forcing the senate conferees to yield.
Only the short month of February re
mains until the railroads are to pass
back into the hands of the private
wners.
t ' The situation has been taken ad
yvantage of by those members of the
(house who hope to avoid going on
J record again on anti-strike legisla
Ytion. They are pleading that if the
' house conferees will only hold out for
j . few days longer the senate must
J iive way. The house conferees, obe
dient to the plea, are hanging on
j - tenaciously and as a result Senator
'? Poindezter said today it appears that
the senate must surrender to obtain
the law absolutely essential to the re
habilitation of the roads.
NEW YORK. Jan. SI. All New Eng
land and New York state were to
night in the grip of the coldest
eather of the winter, new records
for low temperature being reported
in many communities. The thermom
eter registered from 8 to 42 degrees
below zero.
The frigid wave which suddenly
gripped the east today was most se
vere in northern New York state,
where the low record of 42 degrees
below zero was registered at Ava. At
other places in New York and In New
England the temperature ranged from
10 to 36 degrees below. ,
Along .the New England northern
coast harbors and channels are frozen
preventing the movement of shipping
and supplies of foodstuffs.
The inhabitants of several islands
are reported to be isolated.
The extreme cold in Vermont is be
lieved to have caused the wreck of
the Montreal express of the Rutland
railroad at Hibbards Bay early today,
throwing a jsleeninjr car of passengers
Into the icy waters of Lake Chain
plain. It is believed that the train
was derailed by a rail which had been
snapped by the extreme cold. All the
passengers were rescued, but several
were badly frostbitten.
Zero weather in New York citj
caused the death of a woman who was
found frozen in a cellar. She was 70
years old.

' The terrific pressure brought on
members of the house recently by the
. farmers and the public generally tc
solve the strike problem for all time
by putting compulsory arbitration in
to the new, railroad law has made
many representatives uncomfortable.
There are at least 100 members of the
house who feel that they must get on
the other side of the question if it
comes to a vote again.
. The situation has been made more
'delicate by the gathering here in the
last few days of the representatives
of so many farmers' organizations
demanding the return of the railroads
and a solution of the strike problem.
Critical Stage Reached.

vention , and formerly chief of . the

tend a meeting of the board of trus
tees of the pharmacopocal associa

brandy have been eliminated as medi

Dr. Wiley asserted that whisky, In
stead of being aw effective remedy or

wished to hasten the departure to
heaven of a patient."
NEW OFFICIALS NAMED
Associated Press .Nominees Are An
nounced by Committee.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31 The nominating
committee of the Associated Press to
day nominated the following for elec
tion to the board of directors of the
Associated Press at the annual meet
ing of the members in New York on
April 20:
Frank B. Noyes, Washington Star.
W. L. McLean, . Philadelphia Bul
letin.
Adolph S. Ochs, New York Times.
A. C. Weiss, Duluth Herald.
John R. Rathom, Providence Jour
nal.
The committee made only one nom
ination for each vacancy.
Frank S. Myers, Portland postmas
ter, has defied the democratic admin
istration and will not resign. He in
sists he is still postmaster of the.
Portland office and announces his de
termination to fight to the last ditch
before he will .relinquish the office.
This announcement, coming from
Mr. Myers last night, coupled with
the equally definite and positive as
sertion of Robert H. Barclay, post
office inspector, that he becomes act
ing postmaster starting this morning.
presents an unusual and complicated
condition in the Portland postoffice.
"Fight to Last Ditch" .Promised.
"I am still postmaster. I have not
resigned and I will not resign. I
have employed counsel and will fight
to the last ditch."
These are the words of Postmaster
Myers as given to The Oregonian, last
night,- thus setting at rest-all doubt
as to what steps he might take rela
tive to the order for his Immediate
resignation.
"I have, been instructed to take
charge of the Portland office as act
ing postmaster, and if I am alive In
the morning I shall carry out these
Instructions."
Thus did Mr. Barclay outline the
course of action he intends to take.
He added that Postmaster Myers had
not turned over the keys of the post
master's office to him. But Mr. Bar
clay was at work "at-the postoffice
building last night ' until far in the
the night, and all official business
which may leave the office, starting
this morning, will go out under his
official signature . as acting post
master. Myers' Silence Is Broken.
For the first time since he received
orders from Washington earlier in
the week to submit his immediate
resignation or face summary dismis
sal, Mr. -Myers last night broke hi
silence and consented to talk about
WASHINGTON", Jan. 31. In voting
today to recommend new government
loans of $50,000,000 to European coun
tries for food relief, the house ways
and means committee, including its
republican members, went counter to
the majority view of the republican
legislative steering committee. While
there was no indication that this dis
agreement would result in an open
fTgit, cloakroom discussion strongly
forecast vigorous opposition to any
loan when the measure reaches the
house floor,
Technically the committee agree
ment was by a. unanimous vote of 19
of its 24 members Six democratic
members joined the majority after
failing to get a larger fund, but re
served the right t-j seek an increase
when the bill comes up in the house,
probably early next week. Their ef
forts In committee to make the amount
to be recommended $125,000,000 as
proposed by the treasury, $100,000,000
or $75,000,u00 were defeated in order.
Action by the ways and means
committee followed a conference ear
lier in the day between its repub
lican members and the steering com
mittee, at which the steering com
mittee members expressed disapproval
of any loan on the ground that con
gress had no authority to give away
funds, while in the senate 'both demo
crats and republicans voiced opposi
tion to additional credits to any Euro
pean country. ... -
Senator Walsh, democrat of. Mon
tana, said he was opposed to further
government financial aid to Europe
because some of the nations now
owing this country money were spend
ing sums in military and naval prepa
rations.

MONTESANO, Wash., Jan. 31.
(Special.) Grim argument over the
province of the jury in the election of
the death penalty, in the event of
conviction, with the defense resisting
dismissal of Jurors who declared con
scientious scruples against capital
punishment, was a feature of the
closing hours of the superior court
session here this afternoon in the
trial of the 11 I. W. W. accused of
the Centralia Armistice day murders,
At the close of the first week of
the case, with 50 veniremen ex
amlned, the jury panel seats only 11
tentative Jurors, each subject to dis
missal by peremptory challenge by
state or defense. It is predicted that
the final jury will not bo completed
before another week of argument and
examination.
Juror Opposed to Penalty.
The question Is a social one and
does not compose grounds for chal
lenge in the jury. Insisted George
Vanderveer, counsel of the defense.
when P. M. Davich, talesman of Aber
deen, had expressed his unalterable
conviction that neither human nor
divine authority exist for the taking
of Human life. The state had prompt
ly challenged the talesman, with the
court sustaining the challenge.
"I have discovered nothing which
gives one man authority to take an
other's life," Insisted Davich on ex
umi ration.
T death penalty query has been
launched by the state In every ex
amination of veniremen, with Her
man Allen, C. D. Cunningham and
W. H. Abel counsel of the prosecu
tion, backing their challenges, with
the state statutes whenever a pros
pective juror voiced objection to
capital punishment. Judge John M.
Wilson, presiding, has uniformly up
held the challenges of the state In
this regard, and excused such venire
men. Under the provisions of Washing
ton law, the prescribing of the death
penalty, when first degree murder
convictions have been decided upon,
rests with the jury alone.
Two Jurora Are Exruned.
Two jurors already seated were ex
cused from service today, after con
ference by state and defense with the
court, on. the grounds of bias, and the
tentative panel established yesterday
was broken by their departure, re
quiring the selection of an additional
two before the state exercised its first
peremptory.
At 2:30 this afternoon the panel
was again temporarily filled, and the
court announced that peremptory
challenge by the state was In order.
The defense has 12 such challenges,
and the state has six. Attorneys have
indicated that all such challenges will
be exercised.
W. F. Ferguson, third Juror to be
seated, was the target for the state s
first peremptory challenge and was
excused from service in the murder !
trial. It was Ferguson, a plumber of
Hoquiam, who was on record under
examination as having presided at
sessions of the red socialists in Fin
nish hall, Hoquiam, where the red
flag was displayed and speakers
dwelt upon revolution and bloodshed.
The two jurors excused by the
court, after conference with state
and prosecution a conference which
consumed almost the entire forenoon
session period were Mrs. Emily C.
Pattison, Aberdeen, and Orton Glenn,
garage man, Satsop.
Impeachment Cane Dropped.
Through the excusal of Glenn, Im
peachment proceedings against that
juror, instituted by the defense and
set for this morning, were dispensed
with. The 'I. W. W. counsel had an
nounced that three witnesses, one of
them a paid Investigator employed by
the defense, would be produced to
prove that Glenn had made state
ments of prejudice and had on one
occasion asserted that the defendants
were guilty and should hang.
Mrs. Pattison, first woman to be
called from the venire, and to find
tentative place on the panel, was
j excused after conference. Though
f t confident that she could give the de-
I fendants a fair trial, Mrs. Pattison
j had said that she knew and believed

crimes similar to the circumstances
of the alleged crime at Centralis.
The law admits that in cases of
doubt the benefit of the doubt shall
be given to the defendants. Herman
Allen, prosecutor for Lewis county,
where occurred the killing of War
ren O. Grimm, with whose murder the
defendants are eharged, said: "In
the Instances of the two jurors, Mrs.
Pattison and Glenn, there appeared to
