1 . THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY- EVENING, -J)ECE 45 :UN!FQRM:ROAD LAWS ARE BEING SOUGHT BY MRS. WHEELER WAS DAUGHTER OF PIONEER HIGHWAY ASSOCIATION American Bar Association to ! Cooperate in Attempt to .Revise Chaotic Legislation, . (ftpecfer 1 Tbt Journal.) WASHINGTON BEGINS ' New York, Dec. S. As a result of the cooperation, between the American Bar association and the American Highway asportation, a definite effort Is to bo ; made to revise the chaotic road lawn of the various states with a view to nidifying and simplifying them and making them more uniform. The plan Which Iihn been evolved is bo compte ; henaive lhat It in believed It will even tually reHult in a more uniform system i. of all laws, not merely those dt-alliiR with road matters, but those dealing With divorce, marriage and ull other subjects. 7 A committee of the American High . Way association has been appointed to . take charge of the matter and this committee Is to meet with C. T. Terry of New York, who is chairman of the Committee on uniform legislation, of the American Bar association, at the Van , Jerbllt hotel on December 12. The member of the American Highway as- sedation's committee are: K. E. Wad hams of Albany, N. Y.;.A. B. Fletcher, (tate highway engineer of California; A, Ni Johnson, stste highway engineer of Illinois; P. T. Coljrove, president Of the Michigan Rtate Good Roads asso elation, and J. Ii Pennybucker, secre , tary of the American Highway ussocia--lion, Mr. Wadhama la chairman. It Is recognised by the American Highway association that inont of the road legislation In various states is antiquated and In many instances obso lete. Many of the road laws are 100 yearn old. They arc based on 1'olonlil legislation,' which. In turn, had been baaed on ancient English precedent. There is very little .uniformity In the laws among tire states and It Is felt that this fact puts obstacles In tho way Of those who are seeking to give the en tire nation a network of improved hlgh , Ways. I It Is probable that as a result of the meeting to be held in New York the Committee of the American Highway ssociatkn Jind the representatives of the AmerlcMi Bar association will ask the governors of the various states to Hr unnn 4 1, m tdvlnl.iLP. 1 1 . .

Washington, Dec. S. Convinced that General Carransa's triumph was very near, President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan were considering today what policy to adopt in Mexico follow ing President Huerta's elimination. It was understood that as soon as Cm-ranza is established In Mexico City the Washington administration will ask him tn make his plans public, to pledge iimiHfir to restore constitutional gov ernment, to proclaim a general armis tice, to prohibit brigandage and to set as early a date as practicable for a real national election. If he does this. It was stated, the United States will recognise htm. rue impression here was that Huerta has made arrangements to get safely out of Mexico when ho recognises his cause as hopeless.

General Villa rushed rebel troops to the eastward from Juares today In the hope of In tercepting, the federal garrison of Chihuahua City, fleeing toward tho border. He expected them to cross the river at Presidio VieJo and believed they wanted to be arrested on the, American side for violating the noiitntllty' laws, as preferable to falling into his hands. The entire seven federal generals who offered to surrender to him were be lieved to be with the fugitives. "And the only place where they'll surrender will be the United States' said Villa, patting his revolver significantly. At 11 o'clock this morning the gov ernment, after presenting its case for eight days, closed in the trial of J. T. Conway and Frank Rlchet in federal court, and, Jay H. Upton, one of the organisers and formerly treasurer of the company, took the witness stand as the first to testify for the defendants. Conway and Rlchet are charged with using the malls to defraud, when, as officials of the Oregon Inland Develop ment company, they made alleged false and misleading statements in exploiting the sale of eastern Oregon lands. .

But the dock commission desires to award contracts for the construction of the east side public dock and for other work, and wants the mney In bank at the time. Dock Commissioner Burgard Intro duced the-question of cold storage facil ities for fruit in public dock ware houses. Engineer Hogardt said no pro vision had been made as yet for cqld storage facilities, nor had definite plans of any kind been adopted. It was ordered that Investigation be made into tho amount of cold storage equipment needed for the service of companies that will ship through the Panama canal to the Atlantic coast or to Europe. it very carefully to see If there was any lottery In it. The Oregon Valley Land company had Just sold a large tract or land in southeastern Oregon in mis way ana they hadn't been interrupt cd in this sale by the government. From other things that we learned about the plan of sale we concluded that the scheme would not be a lottery. "Was It not a scheme simply to evade tne postal laws?" queried Mr. Reames. No, I don't think so. Of course, we oian t want to get in bad." said the wlt nesa. "Wo wanted to make the Scheme as attractive as possible without get ting In trouble." 'Before the grand Jury," questioned the prosecutor, "didn't you testify as a witness under oath, that this scheme was a lottery, known to be such by the promoters, ana that the only purpoao In arranging your plan was to circum vent the postal JawsT "1 don't think I ever testified to any thing so strong as that," was the an swer. Trustees Were to Decide. "Didn't you testify before the same body that the plan specified in the con tracts was not to be carried out at all after the contracts had been sold?" Reames asked. Upton replied that when all the con tracts were sold the contracts wonld pass over to the purchasers. They could then elect their trustees and pro ceed with the disposal of the lands by lottery or by any other method they saw fit. Upton said that he became associated with the company when one of the origi nators of the plan, Mr. Marklllle, brought the proposition to him and it was worked out by them, with others, i He was a director, treasurer at one time, and organised the corporation so far as the legal work was concerned. He drew out in May, 1910, he said. Asked by Reames why he pulled out of the corporation, Upton said hi friends, Marklllle-and Byrne, had left, and his relations with other members of the company were not what they had been before. The company had some trouble In getting references, too, he said, and that was one of the things to causa- him to draw ut Teason Owns Some Stock. John Veason, Upton said, was owner of some or the stock of the company, which was In Byrne's name. "Was veason really engineering: the schemer' asked Attorney Fulton. "I believe he was the original Inventor of the idea to dispose of the lands," re plied the witness. "Did anyone besides Mr. Veason have any knowledge of the character of the lands 7' "No one besides Veason had any such knowledge, replied Upton. The company was organized, said Upton, by Rlchet. J. Byrne, H. H. Bid den, a Portland attorney, and Upton. Approximately 35,000 acres of land were to be disposed of. On cross-examination Upton said tho company figured on making a profit of $60,000 in the deal. Upton did not know whether or not John Veason had Before any recommendations relative to engineering courses In the Oregon Agricultural college and the University of Oregon are adopted, the State Board of Higher Curricula will visit both in stitutions. At a hearing of the board held yesterday, President P. L. Campbell of the university agreed with the Ore gon Society of Engineers that authority to grant a degree in civil engineering should be vested only in the university and that engineering training should be continued at the college on a short course basis without a degree. President Campbell presented and dis cussed a brief supporting his views. One of his observations was that the vote supporting the university appro priations at the referendum election was, In his opinion, expression of op position by tho people to the consolida tion of the agricultural college and the university. President CHves Tlew. The proposition before the board is that the departments of electrical, civil and chemical engineering be cen tered at the college and the departments of fine arts ouch as architecture, music, . economics and higher commercial edu cation be established exclusively at the university. President Campbell said he thought the university should be considered as the professional school of the state. The committee appointed by the Oregon So ciety of Engineers to make recommen dations, suggested that the engineer ing course at the university be raised to even a higher standard and .that Acti of Congregation Sustaining Pastor Cause ot,Re5!gnatlonSr in A sequel to the action of the congre gation of the Central Christian church In sustaining its pastor, the Rev. Sam uel R. Hawkins, after the board of dea cons and elders had recommended that his resignation be demanded, has devel oped in the resignation of 19 members of tho board. As a reason for withdrawing from the board they assign a desire to give the pastor a board that will work In full harmony with him. They resented an implication that they had been influenced to ask for Mr. Hawkins' resignation by Lewis Montgomery. Those who resigned from the board were: Harold Tracey, superintendent of the Sunday school; J. T. Wiley, O. F. Alexander, Lewis Montgomery, Will F. Powell, II. R. Wlnchell, B. J. Wood and- Mr, Lepper, Mr. Beach and Mr. Walker. The members remaining on the board are: J. D, McQowan, chairman of the elders and president of the board; H. I Ganoe, vice president; George Fisher, treasurer; A. M. Dickenson, clerk, and Peter Harrington. Lewis Montgomery, referring to a charge made last Sunday by Pastor Hawkins that Montgomery had tried to get his aid In selling a bond issue to take up the debt of the church, said today: "It Is not true that this bond issue would have unloaded the debt of the church on others. It was thoroughly discussed at a meeting of the official board of the church and approved by unanimous vote of. those attending be fore Mr. Hawkins became our pastor. "It was proposed In perfect good faith, and nobody would have been robbed. In DUE TO PNEUMONIA Mystery Caused, However, by . Mysterious Disappearance of Money and .Watch, With the decision by the coroner that Carl Anderson, the Jewelry peddler, who was found dead Sunday morning in a barn at Errol Heights, died from pneumonia, clearing up the Question as to ths cause of death, there Is still an. other mystery connected with the death that has not been solved, namely, what became of ths $86 in money and the $25 watch the man had when he left hio home last Friday. The theory has been advanced that He might have concealed the money be fore going Into the barn where the fatal Illness overtook him. or that tramos might have come upon him while sick and helpless or even dead In the. barn and rifled the pockets. When Mrs. Anderson complained toJ the ooroner about the loss of the money he ordered an investigation, which, however, failed to aisciose any eiew.

The society would nave, as prerequi site to a degree, four years' high school training, five years in the university, one to three years In practical work and a thesis.

Upton said he understood there were some good and some bad lands In the lot. The company did not expeot to sell the whole 2700 contracts, he said. Upton did not know where the Veason lands were located. When the government rested, Fulton moved dismissal of the count charging a lottery scheme In ths Indictment. Judge Bean took the matter under ad visement and said he would make a rul ing later In the case. ' A. L.

K. H. McCormlck of Klamath Falls testified that he had sold the 860 -acres in the town lot site to Mrs. Rlchet for $18 an acre and was satisfied. When the government rested, 65 wit nesses had been exe mined. The defense expects to have about 80, it was stated by Attorney Bowerman. AUTHORITY TO DISBURSE BRIDGE FUNDS SETTLED The fears of the Clarke county com missioners as to their authority to dis burse the funds to be raised by the $500,000 bond issue for the Interstate bridge have apparently been set at "rest. Prosecuting Attorney L. M. Burnett, of Vancouver, sent to District Attorney Evans a copy of an opinion of Attorney General W. V. Tanner, of Washington, which holds that the state highway board and the state highway commis sion of that atate had no authority in connection with the erection of the bridge as the money for the bridge is to be raised by Clarke county without state aid.
