INSURGENCY IN

Eaton Would Take Power of

Salem, Or., Jai. U-The insurgency

from Speaker Rusk the appointment of
the committees aad have this power
transferred to the house as a whole, will
fall. Allen H. Eaton, sponsor for the
movement, has himself acknowledged to
his friends that It Is probable, but he de
clares he is going ahead with It never
theless and wilt introduce the subject
The proposal was the subject of numer
ous conferences yesterday and much dis
cussion last night and the air fairly
quivered with the prospects of fiery de
bate on the fjoor today. Abbott and'
Mahoney, who, with Eaton, compose the
special committee on rules, are Rusk
men, and if a report comes from the
committee recommending the election of
members of the 42 standing committees
by the house, it will be from Eaton
alono.
The work of lining up the representa
tives on the Issue started yesterday
morning and It continued last night and
today," If has become apparent how
ever, to the Eaton men that they can
not get enough support on the propo
sition. Thompson and Rusk men. with
perhaps a few except Ions amon g the

"I know that I am not undSrstood

expect that In time my position will
become more clear.

Oregon Upper, House Adopts
Resolution Calling on Con
gress to Submit Amend
ment of Constitution.
MILLER'S PREAMBLE
CUT OFF BY SENATORS
Measure Will Be Sent, to the
House and Thence to Na
tional Body.
(Special Dliptch to Thr Jonrsii
Salem, Or., Jan. 11. Election of
United States senators by the people
was Indorsed by the senate this morn
ing by the adoption of Senator Miller's
Joint resolution calling upon congress
to submit to the states an amendment
to the constitution that will carry out
this reform. ,
The resolution was only passed after
Senator Miller had agreed to sacrifice
the preamble w-hlch had been reported
from the committee on resolutions and
had heard this preamble denounced as
"rot by Senator Abrahams.
Scandal in legislatures.
" As prepared "by Miller ' the, preamble
recited that there has been much scan
dal In. legislatures in the election of
United States senators and called at
tention to the fact that evert now there
are in that body representatives of
tainted legislatures. It declared the
system of election by legislature Is
detrimental to tne best system of gov
ernment. When this preamble was read Barrett
of Washington moved the resolution be
made a special order for next Tuesday.
He said he was not opposed to the reso
lution itself if the preamble were
stripped away.
Abraham seld he did pot propose to
vote for "a lot of rot dished up in a
preamble like that." He, said such lan
guage .Only Injured tus friends of the
tneasure;and he did . not, think H proper
to send to congress In that shape. It
would only make Oregon ridiculous, he
said.
Just a XJttle strong;.
. Miller said he did not care about the
preamble, If It hurt the feelings of
some of the other senators. Especially,
he did not want to hurt the feelings Of
Abraham. Admitting- the preamble as
drawn by him rnu reported for passage
was perhaps a little strong, he with
drew it and, the resolution, shorn of all
embellishment, was adopted without op
position. , ,
When concurred In by the house the
resolution will be sent to Washington
as a renewal or the demand ior an
amendment permitting- the election of
senators by vote of the people.

Joseph of Multnomah.
It creates a naval board of five mem
bers, to be appointed from the ports

ber may be Increased as the governor

The uniform' and discipline of naval
force of the state Is required to con

Government Will Complain and

of Sims Furnishes Apt and
Convenient Precedent.
(t'nitefl Prs lieasert Wlr.)
Washington,' Jan. 11. Statements,
purporting to have been made by Ad
miral Tashlro of the Japanese fleet,
now In American waters, criticising
President Taft's policy of fortifying
the Panama canal, have astounded army,
navy and state department officials.
Unless the Japanese government takes
a hand in the matter It Is believed the
admiral's remarks will become the sub
ject of diplomatic exchanges.
Steps have already been taken to
confirm the report ' that Admiral
Yashlro said the fortification plan was
a mistake and otherwise criticised the
scheme which the president has openly
Indorsed.
Such a remark, the officials here
say, Is a breach of International eti
quette. It is believed that Japan will
take steps-to punish the offending- naval
oflcer,. but it is intimated In official
circles that unless this ts promptly
done representations will be made to
Tokio calling attention to the offense
against the United States.
In the meantime there is no attempt
to conceal the fact that the reported re
marks of the admiral have deeply of
fended the American officials. Coming
At a time when the army is known to
be Investigating the activity of Japan
ese spies in Manila, the remarks are
considered in especially bad taste.
President Taft's personal views in
regard to the matter. It la pointed out
were pretty well expressed In a note
yesterday to Secretary Meyer, In which
he roundly criticised Commander Sims
for a speech at London In which Ger
many found ground for offense, al
though the criticism of the friendly
nation was byno means so open and
flagrant as that In the reported remarks
of Yashlro.
"An Important part of the educa
tion of a naval officer is instruction
In International law and diplomatic
usages," Taft wrote. "We are under
special obligations to see to it that
what he says and does shall not em
barrass the government In Its foreign
relations."
Taft ordered a severe reprimand of
Sims.
Hls action, it Is satd, win indicate to
Japan not only his views on the ques
tion in a way In which there can be
no misunderstanding as to his atti
tude, but furnishes a precedent for the
correction of the admiral.

Former Deputy Paul Maris,
First Witness, Will , Ask the
! Jury to Inspect Bailey's Of
fice and Books Itself.
Formal grand Jury Inquisition into
charges of graft and official obstruct
lveness made against J. W. Bailey, state
dairy and food commissioner, was com
menced at 3 o'clock this afternoon7Tne
first witness called was Paul V. Maris,
who resigned his position as chief dep
uty under Bailey, giving as his reason
that he could not honorably serve under
a man who he said spent the state
money for private purposes."
Before entering the grand Jury room
Mr. Maris stated that he would ask a
thorough investigation of the charges
against Bailey or none at all. "Unless
the grand Jury goes in a body to In
vestigate the records In Bailey's of
fice, the time spent In inquisition will
be time wasted," said Mr, Marls. "The
records In Bailey's office will show how
little work he has done In the last two
years. The books at the Gevurtz and
Powers furniture stores will -show that
he bought household furniture for de
livery to Miss E..W. Walls, who be
came his wife, and that the cost of this
furniture was paid for out of the pure
food fund. I can Bfe no reason for caus
ing the state to pay for such furniture
and I cannot conceive of any use the
Btate would now have for It, If Bailey
should seek to return the articles."
Marls gave as witnesses that should
be, called the names of R. Verne Wil
liamson, qhemlst, resigned; M. S. .Shrock,
deputy In Bailey' office;. Bert Pilklng
ton, former chemist In Bailey's office.
All of these are prepared to testify
In the charges of graft and official de
linquency made against Bailey. One of
the most serious charges made against
Bailey by Marls and others Is that Bai
ley's acts as dairy and food commis
sioner have not been for the protection
of public health, but have been a hind
rance In the enforcement of pure food
and pure milk laws.
