THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY G, 1921 GOurmES ill SECESSION PLOT Northern Tier Ghost-Walks to Form New State. LINCOLN WOULD BE NAME Coicrnor Olcolt of Oregon Invites Joint Delegation to Confab Over Japanese Question. BOISE. Ida.. Feb. 3. (Special.) Secession of the ten' northern Idaho counties from what Is now Idaho, and their combination into a new state, was the proposal that was made to day to Kolons of the present legisla ture. The schost of the biennially pro posed stats of Lincoln was first sighted in the legislative halls this morning. It was seen frequently by a r.umber of members in the highways knd by-ways of the chambers. A oelecation from Sand Point. Bonner county, headed by Georpe R. Baker, was expected to reach Boise Sunday for the purpose of holding a confer ence on the proposal with members f the legislature from the Pan handle. Induration Kill la Pned. By a vote of 29 to 22 the house of representatives pasted house bill No. 9. by the committee on education, to abolich the office of state commis eioner of education, and fix the sala ries of heads of state educational in stitutions. Representative Hugo of Latah county, majority leader in the house. Just before adjournment pave notice that Monday he would move for a reconsideration of the vote. He had changed his vote from nay to aye for this purpose. House joint memorial No. 5, by Jlillcr, was introduced and pass.J by the house under suspension of the rules. It calls upon congress to en act reclamation legislation at once upon a broad -national policy. rn Measure Swamp Clerk. Inasmuch as Saturday was the Ust day but one allowed by the house rules for introduction of bills, the clerk's desk was snowed under with 50 new measures. One of them was a joint resolution by Weeks of Canyon, proposing to eubmit to the people a, constitutional amendment by which the biennial ses sions of the legislature shall be held in two sections of 30 days each, a month apart. This would permit mem bers of the two law-making bodies to go home and consult their consti- tutuents midway in the sessions. Such a law is .iow in effect In California, though a similar measure was defeated in the 14th Idaho legis lature. The senate voted unanimously to Invite legislative committees of Wash ington and Oregon to meet with a committee from the Idaho legislature in Boise to consider the problem of alien population of the Pacific coast states. Orrua Governor Sends Call. This action was taken on receipt of a telegram from Governor Olcott of Oregon stating: Oregon legislature has passed ' a joint resolution asking for a confer ' ence at a convenient place between committees of the legislative assem blies of Idaho, Washington and Ore gon for the purpose of careful inves tigation and consideration of the alien population problem of the Pa cific coast. Can you kindly advise at the earliest opportunity when and where a Joint committee of your leg islature could meet with a committee from the state of Oregon, to include four from the house 'and three from the senate? Lieutenant-Governor Moore will appoint a committee of three to rep resent the senate at the conference. House bill No. 110. by the commit tee on livestock, creating a sheep commission of five and appropriating $35,000 for its use to eradicate scab in Idaho, was passed under a fuspen- sioa of the rules. bend's attitude. "He'll come around kll right. I know he meant what be said last night when he agreed tc keep the other children. He kissed me good-bye, like be always does, this morning and told me he loved me better than anything else in the world." It was an appealing story Mrs. South told of what occurred at the little home Friday night. At noon she had amazed her husband with her admission that triplets supposed ly born to her New Year's eve were not their own; that twins supposedly born to her two years ago were not ber own; that twins supposedly born to ber two years before that were r.ct her own. and that four other children preceding the twins were, like the others, procured by her e crctly from maternity hospitals. "You have played hell!" Mr. South exclaimed at the end of her confes sion, and for 30 minutes there was a. dramatic scene while Mr. South de nounced his wife for her deception and she defended it On the ground of her great desire for children and her equally great desire to make him a bomeloving husband and father he I reasons, she declared, that prompted j ber remarkable series of deceptions. Mr. south left the house at the end of this conversation, declaring he would not keep the children, but last night all this was smoothed over, de clared Mrs. South. '"He came home feeling sorry for the hard things be had said." she be gan, "and we talked things over. First we brought in each of the chil dren, Jerre. the oldest boy, 13; Vir ginia. 12 years old. his sister; Elmour, 10; Loftis. 5, and the twins. Ruth and Jewell. They are 2 years old. The other twins, adopted by Mrs. South four years ago, died. "We told each of the older children all about it; that we were not their real father and mother, but that we loved them and they clung to us and cried and said we were the best papa and mama in the world and they knew noboby else could have been better' to them and they would not leave us for anything." As Mrs. South told her story, tears sprang to her eyes and she wiped them away, trying to smile througd mem. Well." she went on. "After we told the children about it we had family prayers, like we do every night, and Mr. South thanked God that it was not any worse than it was. He gave thanks that I was a good woman, the best woman in the world, he said, and then we put all the children to bed and Mr. South and I sat near the fire place and talked about what we would do. 'I wanted to keep them all. but he said he did not see how we could make money to support the triplets. It is miglity hard. I know, and then neither of us will ever live to see tnem grow up. I suppose I cried a lot when I thought about giving them up, but I finally agreed to do it. No, we're not going to send them back to the maternity hospital. Some good friends of ours have agreed to take them and we are going to send them right away. I promised I would not present him with any more children." 4 PLANE GMRIEBS ASKED Or CONGRESS Vessels Net to Cost More Than $24,600,000 Each.

TACOMA, Wash.. Feb. 5. A sys tematic search for Miss Melinda I'arnes, a telephone supervisor, who has been missing since November 28, was started here today. She was last seen at the union station here on that date. She left her jewelry in her room, together with a note saying that her father is S. R. Barnes, 1675 Fortune street. Portland, Or. A short time before she dropped from sight the young woman was dis- m'ssed as cured from a private sani tarium specializing in the treatment ct mental diseases. Efforts by the police last night to lecate S. R. Barnes proved fruitless. COSTLY FROCKS REJECTED (Continued From First Page.) Senate l'uin Repeal Bill. By a vote of 35 to 2 the senate passed house bill ITo. IS, by the state affairs committee. This bill repeals the act providing for a continuing appropriation in Idaho to be used Jointly with a federal appropriation to be used under the Smith-Hughes act. Ex-service persons of the late war were recognized unanimously by the senate in the passage of senate bill No. 53. by Burky. which gives to such service a 30-day preference right to file on Carey act lands in Idaho. The legislature is half over. Thirty cf the 60 per diem days have passed and the vast bulk of legislation is yet to be digested. Solons have been heard to remark that there are but two real issues before the legisla ture economy and the direct pri mary; that after these are disposed of the two houses can adiourn sine die. Every member will agree that economy is necessary. There is a difference of opinion over the pri mary. The bill introduced in the house Friday is assured of passage in that body, a list of 31 members supporting " nawns oeen published. xr.em are me tnree authors of the primary measure introduced a week ago, which it is now believed will be withdrawn. The main objection to that measure was that it called for a n.on-nartisan judiciary, and many re publicans believe that each party should have the right to nominate their own candidate for the supreme court bench. A safe and reasonable primary bill will be passed by the senate, repre sentatives who have investigated the situation say. It is admitted a hard fight will be necessary to accom plish this. The lower assembly has gone on record as opposed to any plan to chanee the system of raising public school revenue. House bill No. 7, by the committee on education, proposed a state-wide school tax of two mills to take the place of the district school tax, and that the money raised in this way be pooled and appor tioned on a census basis. This bill wan defeated. The question of good roads was quite definitely settled when the sen ate voted to repeal the 2-mill high way levy authorized two years ago by which $2,000,000 was raised. Its repeal is a republican party pledge. The house Is expected to affirm the action of the senate. which is designing and executing many of Mrs. Harding's gowns, said; "The American woman never copies exactly the gowns of another woman, no matter who the other woman ma; be. She may follow Mrs. Hard'ng to the extent of wearing blue and choos ing gowns of simple lines, but she will not slavishly follow the example of even the first lady of the land." It is interesting to find in connec tion with blue as a prevailing color for spring, that according to a test recently applied by a psychologist to 4500 men and women in this country, blue was found to be the favorite color with the majority of women and red for men. (This brings up the debatable ques tion of whether or not women dress to please men, or to please themselves and would seem to prove the former). Experts on the ps etiological effect of color describe blue the most sooth ing color, and they state that blue produces also a "grave mood reac t'on." Asked whether the cost of- an in auguration wardrobe this year was lower than It would have been if in auguration had come last year, a Fifth-avenue designer said: "No, the cost of labor and over head Is still high. This keeps the price of garments up. What is more, gowns for special occasions, on in auguration must be works of art, and works of art are always worth paying for. However, in complying with the simplicity desired by the president-elect at the inauguration ceremonies, Mrs. Harding has been most conservative in choosing her gowns." Asked whether Mrs. Harding's emphasis cn the importance of Amer- Among lean-made, American-designed goods would have a decided effect on fash ion this spring, a Fifth-avenue house answered in the affirmative. Here American - designed, American - made gowns were shown but, in featuring the leading mode for spring and sum mer, American manufacturers fol lowed the dictum of France. It is, however, high up on Fifth avenue that many of Mrs. Harding's gowns are being designed accord ing to her instructions. I visited this establishment this morning and found eight fashion artists busily at work. And although a good deal of secrecy has been maintained regarding the wardrobe of the wife of the president-elect., some information leaked out. For "instance. In this particular establishment the inauguration gown is being designed. It will be a com bination of chiffon and charmeuse in gendarme blue.

"He'a going to take out legal adoption papers to morrow." she said. "I'm not making out any adoption papers." said South. "And I'm not talking either.

First steps looking to the construction of a fleet of modern high-speed airplane car riers for the navy were taken today in congress. Senator Gerry, democrat, Rhode Island, Introduced an amendment to the naval appropriation bill providing for four such vessels, to cost not more than $24,600,000 each. Before the house naval committee Represen tatives Britten, republican, Illinois, and Oliver, democrat, Alabama, an nounced that they would present bills each providing for two airplane car riers. All naval officers and Brigadier General Mitchell of the army air serv ice, who have been testifying before the house committee for two days, have stressed the Importance of ob taining such carriers as soon as pos sible. General Mitchell said today American aviation officers had little knowledge of the uses of the proposed vessels because Great Britain is keep ing the data secret. Thirty Million Limit SnKireatrd. Representative Oliver's bill would set $30,000,000 each' as the limit of cust for the two carriers and would provide that until money was appro priated none of the fund authorized for the battleships Massachusetts and Iowa, already under contract, could be available The Britten proposal would divert $52,000,000 authorized for 12 destroyers, one transport and air fleet submarines for the two air plane carriers. General Mitchell told the house com mittee that a united air service would save the government money and would place the air service under flying officers who would be inter ested In Its development. Under pres ent conditions in both the army and navy, he said, aviation is under of ficers who are unsympathetic. Members of the navy general board and Captain T. T. Craven, director of naval aviation, will present the navy's side of the case in opposition Monday. The senate naval committee today continued hearings on Senator Borah's resolution to suspend naval building for six months while experts study types of ships. Rear-Admirals W. S. Sims and B. A. Fiske, before the com mittee In executive session, opposed the resolution. IIlK Carriers I reed. General Mitchell urged the substi tution of enormous air and seaplane carriers to accompany the light ves sels of the fleet in place of battle ships and battle cruisers. "I think with our present aviation facilities properly developed," he ts serted, "that we can sink any enem; veccel, armored or unarmored, that comes within 200 miles of our coast witn airplane carriers housing at least 30 planes, we could extend this area far out to sea.". Chairman Butler Interrupted to re mark that he did not think the peo pie could be interested in large ex penditures for air forces until they know what had become of mofley ap proprlated for aviation during the war. American flying officers have little knowledge of airplane carriers. Gen eral Mitchell said, "because England has absolutely stopped up on infor mation." He thought that Great Britain had six such carriers and was building more. Committee Wants Trutx. General Mitchell said he asked the general board in 191V for ships to use in maneuvers, to demonstrate the effectiveness of air forces against naval vessels. The idea met with favorable comment, but no action, he 6aid, and another request for two destroyers, one battleship and two supply vessels to be attacked from the air and bombed for experimental purposes had been put through this week. Chairman Butler indicated that the committee . would urge the navy de partment to arrange for tests. Representative Oliver, democrat, of Alabama, said he would move to re port a bill authorizing immediate construction of two airplane carriers to cost not more than $30,000,00 each. Representative Britten, republican, Illinois, said be would propose a substitute to divert $52,000,000 in ap propriations for 12 destroyers, one transport and six fleet submarines for construction of the two airplane carriers. The committee will vote Tuesday on these proposals. Phone your want ads to The Ore eoninn Main 7070. Automatic 560-95.
