purposes by day labor instead of by
contract, according- to a legal opin
ion given by Attorney -General Brown
today. The opinion was requested by
W. J. Kerr, president of the college.
and J., K. Weatherford, one of the
riRonU.
Mr. Kerr Informed the attorney-
general that because of the uncer
tainty of market conditions bids of
contractors were not satisfactory and
the college officials considered it
would be cheaper to proceed with the
proposed Improvements by day labor.
It is planned to erect a women's
building, complete the engineering:
structure and make extensive repairs
to the present plant.
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.

IDEA WARMLY INDORSED BY
CARDINAL GIBBONS.

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.

Almost 100 Oregon pioneers gath

Following a luncheon at 6 o'clock
an old-time play, "Among the Break

same cast that presented, the three
act drama 30 years ago. The char
acters were portrayed by men and
women who for many years have tak
en an active part ln the business
and professional life of the state.
