PRESENT INQUIRY ENDS One Witness ITeard and Committee Adjourns Until July 9 Same Group to Continue Work. WASHINGTON. June 5. Investiga tion of expenditures in the presiden tial and congressional campaigns which" will end with the November elections was ordered today by the senate. The inquiry wilf be conducted "by the same committee which has been bearing: evidence as to pre-convention political financing. The committee heard one witness today and then ad journed until July 9 Senate action today was on the res olution of Senator Pomerene (demo crat. Ohio), member of the investigat ing: committee, and was taken in the closing moments of the session after a brief but spirited debate. Senator Pomerene attacked the contingent ex pense committee for delaying its re . port and asked immediate considera tion. Senator Smoot (republican Utah) objected, declaring that under the rules the resolution would have to lie over one day. Borah Backs Resolution. Senator Pomerene in attacking the committee declared that he was not deceived "by these methods of pro cediire," and said the senate could not "play favorites with either men or parties." He declared that the democrats would not, and the repub licans dared not, say to the people that it was none of their business where campaign funds came from or how they are expended. , Senator Borah, republican,. Idaho author of the resolution under which the present inquiry is being conduct ed, also supported the Pomerene pro posal. Referring to Senator Smoot's objection to immediate action, ho said he feared this might be found by November to be an "error of judg ment." The feeling against exces sive expenditures ws not confined to any one party, he declared, and warned the republicans to "clean house between now and next Satur day" or some other party might bo selected "to protect the American flag and American institutions." Presa Declared Unfair. It was charged that men of wealth were seeking to control the political parties by Senator Borah, who asked if the party once led by Abraham Lincoln could afford to object to the - consideration of such resolution, eo "they won't be under surveillance be tween now and next November. Senator Kenyan, republican, Iowa chairman of the investigating com mlttee. presented a table giving con tributions which, he said, were made in the last campaign by those sup porting President Wilson and de clared that a num'ber of the contribu tors later were appointed to diplo matic posts. Senator Smooth with drew his abjection to immediate con sideration of the Pomerene resolu tion. "If we had a public press that did not magnify every statement made there would be no objection to a. fair Investigation," Senator Smoot said. '" "I would not object to a law that would require every political dona tion for campaign purposes to be made public" Senator Robinson-, dmocratj. Ar kansas, asked why Senator Smoot Intimated such an investigation would be unfah- when the republicans had ". a majority on the committee. "I only meant that the press was 1 nfair," replied Smoot- FIRE STARTED By CLOCK OREGON CITY BROTHERS CON FESS ABSOX CRIME. $20,000 Blaze Results When Firm Meets Hard Times and In surance Is Boosted. OREGON CITT. June 5. (Special.) Frederick F. Theroux and his brother, George Theroux, arrested on a charge of starting the disastrous Are of May 27, when a large portion of the Seventh-street business sec tion was destroyed, confessed Friday nisrht. Upon examination by District Attorney Hedges and State Fire Mar shal Pomeroy they 'made and signed a complete confession, explaining in detail the cause and methods of the flre. Pomeroy caused the arrest of the brothers on complaint of District Attorney Hedges. The examination was started as soon as the men were arrestea. ai first both- denied all knowledge of the origin of the fire, but after sev eral hours Frederick Theroux first ad mitted the charge. According to the story brought out the fire was started by the use of a time-clocK placed in the rear of their place of business, which was set for 12:15 at night. The brothers left the store about 6:lp, Frederick going to a concert in Port land and George remaining in the city. The clock evidently worked to perfection, as the blaze was first dis covered at 12:30, when the flames had spread, as the building was of wood and very dry. In giving a reason for the crime, Frederick admitted that he was in debt about $1500 and carried $4500 insurance, and as his lease was up July 1 he planned to use the Insur ance money to start business at a new location. Upon close examin ation Theroux admitted that he had shipped part of his stock away just before the flre and also added $1000 to his insurance. Musical Instruments were shipped to Camas, Wash., and Silverton. Or., and the stock at the time of the flre was not large. This flre caused a loss of approxi mately $20,000 in stocks, the Port land Flouring Mills. Falls Transfer company, a harness store and a paint shop being completely destroyed. C. C Cox and wife, with their two chil dren, were sleeping upstairs and barely escaped with their lives. They lost all their personal goods and the fixtures of a restaurant they had been conducting near the music store.

NEIGHBOR DAY IS URGED - IDEA WARMLY INDORSED BY CARDINAL GIBBONS. Sponsors Believe in Cultivating Spirit of Community Interest by Annual Stimulus. FLAVEL HOTEL IS SOLD iTroperty Purchased by Portland ' and Astoria Syndicate. ASTORIA, Or., June 5. (Special.) The Flavel hotel, near the hill ter minals at Plavel, has been purchased by W. H. Hidden as trustee for a syn dicate of Portland and. Astoria men. The price paid for the building, its furniture and equipment and the site, consisting of three acres of land, was $20,000. The new owners plan to renovate the building and open It early in July as a family and tourist hotel, with a line of busses running between it and Astoria. The Flavel hotel was built about 22 years ago by a company headed by the late Samuel H. Brown, a Boston capitalist, and its cost was approximately $80,000 while $20,000 more was expended for its furnish ings. It has accommodations for about 150 guests. WASHINGTON, June 5. Cardinal Gibbons, through the national com mittee on community organization, of which Franklin K. Lane is president, has issued a proclamation suggesting Saturday, June 12, as Neighbor day to develop a spirit of neighborliness and friendliness. Cardinal Gibbons' proclamation, similar to others by the governors of Ohio, Wyoming, West Virginia and Arkansas, lsr as follows: The celebration of a National Neighbors' day on June 12 would be a splendid means of promoting local community organiza tion. 1 regard this kind of organization as an excellent means of breaking down racial and other prejudices, and of teach ing men and women in a practical way their duties of Christian charity and help fulness toward their fellows. It should prove effective in promoting genuine and sympathetic Americanization. JAMES CARDINAL. GIBBONS. The committee, on community or ganization is responsible for the birth of the idea of Neighbor day. It grew out of the national conference on community organization which was held in Washington March 19 and 20. It Is planned to have Neighbor day become a nationally recognized day for the purpose of bringing the people, foreign born and native, into closer relationship in order to give them an intimate knowledge of the needs of the community. The sponsors be lieve that if a real spirit of com munity interest prevails under the stimulus of a yearly Neighbor day on June 12, no radical propaganda can withstand the welding together of lo cal community organization.
