Fourth Internationale Is Proposed
to Break Moscow Autocracy
and Set Vp "ew Party.
P4.RIS Jan. t. Lenlne's attempt to
rule and unite the socialists of the
world and control their policies
through the third Internationale of
Moscow is to be contested by the
.n. nr faction, of socialists.
This party occupies a middle position
between the extreme nsin., m
erate faction, of socialists and the
extreme left, or radical faction. It
was in order to organise their forces
Into a fourth Internationale that a
meeting- of the centrist socialise i
the world has been called in Vienna
cn FeBruary 22. next.
The center aocialista are dissatis
fied with both the second Internation
ale and the third Internationale of
Lenine. leaders of that faction say.
Lenlne Splitting Force
Joseph Gollomb. who claims to have
represented the socialist party of
America at a meeting in Berne. Switx
erland, December 6, which called a
meeting at Vienna next February to
form the proposed fourth Interna
tionale, declares that the socialists of
the world have become Impatient at
the conduct of Lenlne's third Inter
nationale of Moscow. The Russian
organization, he declares, "is devoting
itself chiefly to splitting the forces
of socialism and of the workers."
"Dominated by the chiefs of the
communist party of Itussla," Gollomb
alleges, "th third internatlonale is
trying to force on other countries a
programme, temper and tactics which,
whether good for Russia or not, takes
no account of differences of condi
tions throughout the world.
Hatred I Being Planted.
"Those socialists who do not accept
to the letter their ukases are de
nounced as traitors. The third in
ternatlonale is splitting socialist par
ties in every country, discarding
whole masses of -workers whose fi
and by dividing the trade union move
ment sows hatred between worker
delity to socialism has been proved
and worker."
Gollomb contends that both the
second Internationale, which existed
before the world war, and the third
Internationale are "mainly negative
In character and effect." The mem
bers of the second internatlonale, he
says, "have so limited, compromised
and forgotten the principles of so
cialism that there is nothing left of
them. As the conference at Berne
pointed out, they abandoned the work
ers during the war and by partici
pating in capitalist cabinets and
coalitions they have bent all their
energies toward patching the present
system instead of building a new one.
socialists want an aaequate inter
national organization to marshal ail
their forces and carry out a positive
upbuilding programme. At present
there is no satisfactory organiza
tion." Socialism Held Constructive.
Gollomb declares that fundament
ally socialism is a constructive move
ment and that the negative attitude
of the second and third Internationale
does not meet their need today and
the result has been general dissatis
faction with both of them. He asserts
that more than 8.500.000 voting so
cialists were represented at the Berne
conference which has called the meet
ing in Vienna and that most of the
delegates at Berne have been repre
sentative figures in international so
cialism for years.
The delegates of the socialist party
Of America were delayed in arriving,
but Gollomb says the party had de
clared itself officially in favor of the
action taken at Berne. The German
independents were represented by
Ledebour, Crispien and others, while
Jean Longuet and Paul Faure repre
sented the socialists of France. So
cialists of Austria and Switzerland
slso were represented at Berne.
'The possible formation of a fourth
Internationale is a matter for the
Vienna congress to decide." adds

Blackfoot tribes of northwestern
Montana, served as Mr. Proctor's
model for the statue. The statue will
be placed against a hillside, near a
pool of water, and the Indian is seen
in the" position of slaking his thirst,
one hand extended, and in a kneel

veterans had the same rights under
the preference ruling as persons who
served in the more recent conflict.

Five Months of Turmoil Ended by
Findings of Committee In
vestigating Plaints.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 8. American
Samoa, far out in the south Pacific,
is settling down to equatorial -peace-fulness,
its bubble of "committee"
government having burst after sev
eral months of inflation, according to
mail advices received here from
Tutuila.
The United States steamship Kan
sas, with Admiral Charles Hughes,
has left Tutuila for Hilo, Hawaii, car
rying two naval officers who were
adjudged responsible for instilling
unrest among Samoans and encourag
ing formation of an organization of
native chiefs to supplant the rule of
the late Governor Terhune.
Five months of turmoil ended No
vember 30, when Arthur A. Greene,
American citizen, was deported
and left for Honolulu; Lieutenant
Commander Creed H. Boucher court
martialed and placed under arrest on
the battleship Kansas: Commander A.
Kail, acting governor, adjudged
guilty of misdirected zeal and taken
aboard the battleship, and Captain
Waldo Evans, a new governor, in
stalled and started conferences with
the native leaders to restore the old
time harmony.
Memorial Fund Started.
The tragedy of the affair was the
suicide of Commander Warren J.
Terhune, governor, against whom the
conspiracy was directed and who
ended his life just before the start
of the inquiry which absolved him.
Tribute to his administration is paid
by the enlisted men of the naval sta
tion who have presented a fund to the
widow to build a memorial for their
unjustly accused commander.
Testimony of the court of inquiry
received here reveals the strange
course of affairs in the mid-Pacific
group of islands. Lieutenant-Commander
Boucher reached American
Samoa May 3 After 85 days' service.
of which were spent in suspension
for three . offenses, he was detached
by Governor Terhune, on approval
from Washington, and proceeded to
Mare island. California. Boucher filed
charges with the navy department
against Governor Terhune and offi
cers, naval and civil, of the island's
administration, citing maladministra
tion. Incompetence, misappropriation
funds and abuse of the natives.
Arthur A. Greene arrived in Samoa
last April. Commander A. C. Kail ar
rived there In September. Both we're
instrumental, with Boucher, In press
ing charges against Terhune. Com
mander Kail, captain of the yard
under Terhune, sought to have the
medical officer of the station declare
the governor insane. Kail attempted
to send a wireless to the navy de
partment that Governor Terhune was
Insane, and a copy of this message
was found in the room in which the
commander ended his life.
Unrest Gnlns Footing.
Conditions in July revealed unrest
of the natives, in frequent stone-
fights with the sailors. This unrest.
with the charges by'Boucher and the
counter charges by Terhune. resulted
in the sending of the battleship Kan
sas to Samoa, with a board of inquiry
under Admiral Hughes and Captain
Waldo Evans, the latter designated as
new governor.
Two days before the arrival of the
battleship, November 3, Governor
Tgrhune shot himself. Commander
Kail, assuming the position of acting
governor, started a sweeping chantre
of administration, suspending the
courts, closing the medical institu
tions and suspending medical officers
Five days later the Inquiry opened
It proved all statements and charges
by Boucher and Kaii without founda
tion, and indicated Boucher had sought
to become governor and name Greene
secretary for native affairs. Boucher
from the midst of the inquiry was
changed from the status of an in
terested party to defendant, and upon
its close held for courtmartial on 26
charges by order of Secretary Daniels.
Governor Evans, at the close of the
inquiry, called the discontented native
governors and chiefs together, and
as the steamer and battleship were
carrying away the deported citizen
and the naval officers responsible for
the unrest, started undoing the "com
mitte form of government," which
Greene and Boucher were charged
with having sought to educate the
natives up to.
Plsgah home for the aged yesterday
concluded a most successful drive for
funds. about $6000 being raised
through the sale of tags. Headquar
ters of the campaign were estab
lished at the Portland hotel, and
throughout the day reports from
workers were being received by Mrs.
Robert L. Russel, chairman of the
campaign committee of the home.
About 60 aged men and women
are residents of the home, said Mrs.
Russel, and they are supported
through the charity of Portland cit
izens. The place is situated at vsood
mere, a station on the Mount Scott
line.
This is the second drive for funds
within the last year, the first having
been held a few days before the hol
iday season. However, because of
the heavy rains prevailing the tag
sale' was stopped within an hour and
drive leaders waited for a more
auspicious occasion.
Members of the Girls' Reserve of
the Glencoe school, selling tags at the
courthouse, were very successful.
Mrs. Walter D. McWalters is treas

THE ODEGONrAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Jan. 8. Advocates of an
inaugural ball have been digging
deep into .the history of such oc
casions, and perhaps they have found
sufficient justification for the revival
of this historic event in the lesson
of what happened when Andrew
Jackson undertook to substitute a
reception for the ball. "Old Hickory"
was fond of upsetting state customs
and he banned the Inaugural ball. A
reception after the inauguration was
the alternative, with a near-riot as
the result
And it begins to look like the his
toric ball In all of Its splendor, Is
to signalize the inauguration ' of
President Harding and Vice-President
Coolidge, notwithstanding the
well-known inclinations of the next
president and vice-president toward
the simplicity of other days. It is an
nounced that letters have been re
ceived from all parts of the United
States at the headquarters of the in
augural committee, requesting that
tickets be reserved.
Automobiles Replace Hacks,
Washington people are manifesting
the keenest interest in the plans for
an event abandoned at the last two
Inaugurations. Citizens' committees
are arranging the details so that all
the new president and "first lady"
will have to do will be to appear at
the state! hour and lead the grand
march. The mile-long string of
hacks will be missing and automo
biles in large numbers will supplant
the old horse-drawn vehicles, wnich
always have been a feature of other
similar occasions.
The possibility of the revival of the
inaugural bail has set the historians
to work, with the result of produc
ing some interesting reminiscences of
other inaugurations. It is found that
perhaps the most striking incident oc
curred in connection with the inaug
uration of Zachary Taylor in 1849.
President Taylor was a whig and
whig leaders, acting on the theory
that "to the victors belong the
spoils," decided on an all-whig in
augural ball. A whig committee of
managers was appointed and this
committee named a committee to
have charge of the ball. An ad
vertisement printed in the National
Intelligencer and signed by "one of
the Managers," explained that the
whigs" believed that as the whigs
elected Taylor, the whigs should have
the honor of managing the inaugural
ball.
Lincoln on Both Committees.
Another board of managers was
formed and announced a "National
inaugural ball, irrespective of party,"
and also advertised a committee. The
advertisements of the rival "man
agers" appeared side by side, but tho
singular fact was that both commit
tees contained the names of A. Lin
coln, afterward martyr president of
the United States; Colonel Robert E
Lee and Colonel Joseph E. Johnston,
later known In history as Confed
erate leaders who fought against
Lincoln and the Union.
Three balls were held inauguration
night. The whigs held forth !i
special dancing pavilion erected at
the city hall. The national inaugural
ball was held at Jackson hall, and
third ball, arranged in honor of the
visiting military companies, was held
at carusi s.
On the occasion of George Wash
ington's inauguration in New York
the president's levee was held, which
was the forerunner of the inaugural
ball. This was on May 7. 1789. From
a feminine point of view, the real
levee was that held by Mrs. Wash
ington on Friday, May 29. which may
be said to marK tne actual founding
of society.
Adams Bnll Magnificent.
John Adams' inauguration in 1797
was marked by a magnificent inaug
ural ball, hsld in the amphitheater at
Philadelphia on the night of March 4.
Jefferson refused to permit an in
augural ball. There was. then no
mistress of the White House. Mrs.
Doljy Madison, wife of the future
president of the United States, acted
as the hostess when there was need
of such a figure in offical entertain
ments. The Inaugural ball was revived at
the inauguration of James Madison,
at which time Dolly Madison became
"first lady" in her own right. It was
she who really began the making of
social history in the national capi
tal. As a result, her name lives in
history with the names of the pres
idents. Inaugural balls also were
held at both inaugurations of Pres
ident Monroe.
John Quincy Adams' inauguration
was marked by most brilliant festiv
ities. Mrs. Adams' many residences
in foreign capitals had equipped her
to take the leadership of society in
America.
"Old Hickory" Jackson, as has been
noted, barred the inaugural ball, but
held a reception which almost re
sulted In a riot. The crowd filled
the White House and practically
wrecked several rooms.
Death Blights Two Events.
The brilliant Taylor inaugural was
followed by more simple ceremonies
for President Millard Fillmore, called
to the presidency by death. The
shadow of death also prevented an in
augural ball when Franklin Pierce
took office, but the event came back
again when James Buchanan was In
augurated .
A "union ball" with the south un
represented, marked Lincoln's first
inauguration, but the inaugural ball
returned in all its glory at the first
Grant inaugural. Civil war heroes
in their uniform were the feature of
the occasion.
The Hayes inaugural ball was
brilliant. After the assassination of
President Garfield, President Arthur
assumed office quietly. The Inaug
ural balls of both Cleveland admini
strations were splendid affairs, his
sister. Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, pre
siding at the first, and his wife, a
White House bride, at the second.
The Benjamin Harrison, McKinley
and Roosevelt inaugural balls were
notable events, as was that of Presi
dent Taft. -Several innovations are
promised for the Harding inaugural.
It is probable that a marine band of
80 pieces will alternate with a string
orchestra of 125 pieces, and several
concert numbers are planned with a
chorift of several hundred of the best
voices in the country.

SUIT HOLDSJP PROJECT
NORTHERN" PACIFIC RAILWAY
EXJOIXS ASSESSMENTS.
Irrigation of 60,000 Acres of Priest
Rapids District in Abeyance
While Legislation Pends.
PROSSER, Wash., Jan. 8. (Spe
cial.) Irrigation of approximately
60,000 acres, embraced in the Priest
rapids irrigation district, will be held
in abeyance pending a suit that has
been filed in the Benton county court
by the Northeon Pacific railway,
which is resisting assessments levied
by th district against railway land.
Involving a total tax of about J4000.
Attorneys representing the plaintiff
ask the court to restrain the county
treasurer from collecting the assess
ment and to compel the officials of
the Irrigation district to come into
court and explain the various steps
incident to the organization of the
district. Particular complaint is di
rected against a fee of $4000 for legal
services by Moulton & Jeffrey of
Kennewick and $6000 for engineering
services during the year 1920.
Plaintiff charges that the pro
ceedings followed by the district
have not complied with the law. It
alleges that it understands it is the
purpose of the irrigation district to
enlarge and line the canal of the
Hanford Irrigation & Power company
and then to construct a higher, or
"first level." canal, from which it is
proposed ultimately to pump water
to a third canal to water a third unit.
Those who are in touch with the
project, which would follow the
Columbia river across the entire
north boundary of Benton county, ex
tending from Priest rapids through
to White Bluffs and Hanford toward
Richland, allege that the irrigation
district has been formed in the ex
pectation that the General Electric
company, which Is said to own the
power right and dam site at Priest
rapids, will be compelled by the court
to construct serviceable canals and
deliver an adequate supply of water
to the old Hanford irrigation district,
on account of prior obligations that
were assumed by the General Electric
company w.hen it obtained the Priest
rapids rigl)ts.
Complete Abolishment to Commis
sion of Appeals Never Favored,
Board Member Says.
That he had never been in favor of
a complete abolishment of the teach
ers' commission of appeals, but that
he had been driven to the support of
the present proposed change in the
teachers' tenure law by the uncom
promising attitude of the teachers
themselves, was the declaration of
George B. Thomas, member of the
school board, in outlining his position
yesterday.
He said that he wished to avoid
the unpleasantness and expense of
trials and for that reason favored do
ing away with the use of the com
mission of appeals except in cases
where a teacher was discharged by
less than a unanimous vote of the
five members of the board.
Tt Is inconsistent," he declared,
"that three men selected by a pre
siding judge should pass on what
five men elected by the people have
agreed upon.
"It has never been my idea entirely
to abolish the teachers' commission of
appeals." he said, "but rather to re
strict its jurisdiction to the cases of
those teachers dismissed by less than
unanimous vote of the five mem
bers of the school board. It is my
opinion that when five members of
the school board are unanimous in
their judgment that for the good of
the service a teacher should bo dis
charged and so state in an offlclul
vote while the board is in session
that no appeal should lie to the teach
ers' commission of appeals, but that
in case the board Is not unanimous
when the five members are in session,
then an appeal might be taken by the
discharged teacher."
