MAYOR BAKER FOR ACTION President Gray of Tnlon Pacific Says Plans Are Crystallizing Rapidly for Improvement. Portland's great union railroad ter minal project, estimated to run close to 11.000,000 in cost of construction, may be under way much sooner than had been anticipated up to last night, when Carl R. Gray, president of the Union Pacific here on an inspection trip with Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the executive committee of the system, made the announce ment that he believed the executives concerned could arrange to submit their application for street vacations to the city council within 30 days. Whether or not the big project goes forward this summer or is to await action by the people or members of the city council at a later date. Is the question that loomed large until Mr. Gray's statement. Mr. Gray, In an Interview early In the evening, said the railroad execu tives are getting along all right with the terminal project plans, but there seemed to be some question as to- ob taining street vacations, which are absolutely essential to the plans. Tote of People Desired. It had been said that the members of the council wished a vote of the people on any street vacations sought by the railroads for the terminal and that some of the members would not vote the vacations under provi sions of the so-called Kubli act, passed by the legislature at its last session. That the council had decided not to submit any measures to the people at the coming election In June, because of the expense, also had been published. With the situation In this apparent indefinite form, Mayor Baker received an outline of the case, and It was then that the subject began to clear up. "I cannot speak for my colleagues on. the council," said Mayor Baker, "but for myself I will eay that, no matter what attitude has been taken heretofore regarding the submission of measures to the people next June, If the railroad companies will apply for street vacations within two weeks, or such a matter, so that the council may give the subject due considera tion in time, I will call a special ses sion and we shall determine what to do. Special Election Suggested. "The fact that the council decided during the week not to submit certain measures that bad been talked about, to the people, has nothing whatever to do with a matter so vital to Port land as this terminal project.' It would be sheer folly for us to with hold consideration of that subject for the sake ef caving a few thousand dollars, should the railroads announce they are ready to proceed and do it soon enough to afford us opportunity for a full consideration of their pro posals. I am making no promises, neither am I, in the slightest degree, pledging myself to anything except to act for the best good of the city, and to do It at once, if necessary, to have this big terminal project go forward. ' Mayor Baker's message was relayed to Mr. Gray at his suite in the Hotel Portland and he at once said that he believed "the point made by the mayor could be safeguarded," mean- ifVnHufl.'d on I'mw 3. Column 1.) Government Expected to Publish List of All Offenders and Round-ITp Will Follow. SALEM, Or.. March 2(3. (Special.) Preliminary rumbles of an Impending slacker roundup have been heard at the adjutant-general's office here, it was learned today on inquiry as to the compilation of Oregon's slacker list. It was stated by Adjutant-General White that he confidently ex pected to see the publication of the whole list by the government, at no remote date. A roundup of the of fenders will follow. Telegraphic and letter requests of the adjutant-general ,that he be au thorized to cause the arrest of known draft-dodgers were disapproved by the government. It was learned, and he was asked to refer all names to Washington, D. C. "Inasmuch as the government cred its the delay to the long process of checking every name against all the army and navy records In order to avoid errors, I think the delay Is jus tified if there are no other reasons," said General White. "We have tele graphed the names of more than 60 Oregon soldiers found In error on the list. "In the meantime, the government has not been altogether idle. An Ore gon slacker got his just deserts a short time ago. I would be breaking faith at this time to give out his name, but he belongs to an otherwise honoraole pioneer family. Be plead ed Ignorance of the draft law, but a military court at Vancouver barracks gave him 10 years at hard labor. This was reduced to 18 months by the headquarters at San Francisco, and the young man Is now engaged in re ducing large rocks into smaller ones." PRISONER LOSES SHERIFF Confessed Slayer Spends Honrs In Search for His Gnard. . OAKLAND, Cat. March 2S. Claude W.

Texas, had the man in tow, but the two separated at the .Oakland mole. While Jolly was looking around San Francisco for Blackman, the lattei was inquiring in Oakland concerning the whereabouts of the officer. Black man is charged . with shooting his uncle at Quitman, Tex. Blackman arrived here from Ta coma, Wash., where he atartled the police by walking into the station and confessing that he had killed his uncle in Quitman In 1918. .

MIRACLES SEEM DEMANDED Leaders Mobilize and Make Plans for Future. RECENT SESSION BLAMED President Gets Off to Bad Start When He Launches Colombian Treaty as First Issue. , BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyrif ht by the New York Evening Post, Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WA4JHINUTON. i. C, March 26. (Special.) The republican leaders are mobilizing to get things done at the coming session of congress. They need to. They' know that the ex pectations which the country has of them are enormous; to some of the more cautious republican leaders the country's expectations are almost ter rifying. The country almost expects the new administration to make miracles. The expectations are largely inher ent in the situation, but to agree they are based on the promises and implications of promises, which the republicans made during the cam paign last summer, as one of the republican leaders expressed it after he had spent several days studying the government's financial situation and the country's business situation: "We have promised to solve the in soluble." : Recent Cbngreae Disappoints. Not only are the republican lead ers apprehensive about the things the country expects them to. do In the coming session. In addition they are uncomfortably conscious of having made a poor record In the recent ses sion. To be sure, so far as the recent session. Is concerned, the republicans have an alibi, which they 'rely -.on rather too much in the fact that they did not then control the presidency. While they controlled the house and the senate, the democratic president was able to veto anything they did. But the eerious faults of the recent session were not of a character that can be blamed on President Wilson's vetoes. It is true some of these vetoes were unjustifiable. After an Immi gration bill had been passed In the Senate by a majority of 31 to 1 and had been passed In the house by a vote of 7. to 1, It was discouraging to have all that work go for nothing be cause the president allowed the bill to lie on his desk and thereby, In ef fect, vetoed It. But the sufficient answer to this is that the republican house and senate ought to have passed the bill before the last 10 days of the session. If they had done that, they would then have had time to repass the bill over the president's veto. ' Unpardonable Delays Charged. Moreover, there were serious defects in the work of the recent session which had nothing , whatever to do with Mr. Wilson's vetoes. The recent session did not even pass all the ap propriation bills which Mr. Harding had begged them to pass In order to have the ground clear for the new regime. The truth 1s that In the recent ses sion there was unpardonable dila toriness. Having their majority ef 2t, the republican leaders are now getting ready to achieve compactness ' and speed. They have reorganized their steering committee. This is not an official committee of tbe senate, but really a committee of the republ'can party. It will be responsible for the programme. It will fix the order in which legislation shall come up, and it will be responsible for the speed (Concluded on Pare 2, Column 2.1 PEN-AND-INK SKETCHES BY Total of 65,000 Is Declared to Be "Socially Inadequate." -Half of Criminals Dull. Out of 65,000 individuals In the state of Oregon classed as "socially inade quate," 29,655 were found to be com plete or partial dependents and 30,141 delinquents, in a survey Just com pleted by the extension division of the University of Oregon at the re quest of the legislature and under the direction of the United States publio health service. The investigation revealed that In Oregon known Insane and mental de fectives total 7686. which is a ratio of 9.8 per thousand of the general popu lation of the state. Rejections in the army draft in Oregon for such causes were 11.26 per thousand, so that the survey Is believed clearly to be con servative. Special studies with adult criminals showed that 61 per cent were men tally dull or defective, while 22 per cent of these adult criminals have the minds of children of 12 years or less and are distinctly defective mentally. The same element of mental defect holds true for Juvenile delinquents, according to the findings of the sur vey. Of 451 dependent inmates of poor farms, 176 showed mental de fects.

(Special.) Oregon's road-building programme for the present year, although not yet definitely outlined by the state high way commission, will entail expendi tures aggregating at least $12,000,000. This was made known here today by Roy E. Klein, secretary of the commission, In a report including con tracts already awarded, projects ad vertised for which bids will be received on April 5 and projects car ried over from last year. During the period January 1 to March 9, 1921, the highway commis sion awarded contracts for road im provement and bridges aggregating a cost of 33,135,200. Grading; Work Included. These contracts Include 27.3 miles of grading, 38 miles of macadam, 64.6 miles of paving and 14 bridges. Projects advertised, and for which bids will be opened by the commis sion in Portland on April 5, Include improvements estimated to cost $1,900,000. These projects were sum marized as follow: 78.9 miles of grad ing, 34.7 miles of macadam, 39.2 miles of paving and four bridges. Projects under contract carried over from last year which will be com pleted during the coming summer in clude 182.6 miles of grading, 198.2 miles of macadam, 89.2 miles of pav ing and ten bridges. Coat Pat at 93,228,230. The cost of these improvements, under the terms of the contracts. Is 35,229,250. In addition to these Improvements, which Mr. Klein has estimated will cost (10.264,450, be anticipated in his report that the total sum to be ex pended on roads during the present year will be almost double that amount. These additional expendi tures, he said, would result from county highway activities carried forth on a 60-60 basis. Co-operation on the part of counties other than those located on the route of the Pacific and Columbia river highways, he averred, would be necessary In case1 the proposed- road improvement campaign . is to be carried on most effectively. Oregon Trail 'Work Slated. Probably the most Important road activity this year will be the com pletion of the grading of the , old Oregon trail from Pendleton through to Ontario. .. This work will cover 190 miles. Other larger projects proposed this season include extensive work on The Dalles-California highway between Madraa and The Dalles, and placing under construction a large part of the Roseburg-Coos Bay highway. The latter project includes a section of road between Coquille and Bandon, Coos county, also the paving of 75 miles of the Pacific highway, with the understanding that unfinished sections will be completed in the year 1922. Conntiea May Vote Bonds. Reports reaching the commission, according to Mr. Klein, Indicated that at least three counties will authorize bonds at the special election in June with which to co-operate with the highway commission.

In generous sized checks from business firms, financiers and others rolled In by the time a check of the day's work was made.

With renewed confidence of 100 per cent success for the drive, the army of workers Is preparing to move into the field at the break of day, tomor row, to procure the quota of 3850,000 necessary to meet the charity needs o: the city during the year.
