(United Preaa Leaned Wire.)
Washington, Jan. 20. The interlock
Jng of the personnel of directorates of
great corporations, banks, railroads,
industrial, commercial and public serv
ice bodies Is. the crux of the trust
system, in tne opinion of President
' WUseni. . He. made thta plain today In
a special address to congress Jn which
h dlBCUSSd intl.tnut U!.l.n
; Discussing evils resulting frdm such
mieriocKing directorates, the president
causticauy attacked a group of mil
1 1nn a 1 f as mkn W.. -
" n.Bon or enormous
Holdings of stock in numerous corpora
tive. lunsuiuH virtual monopolies.
He virtually told congress that It
should decide whether big owners of
stock in corporations should be com
pelled to elect in which one of them
they will exercise their right to vote
on the conduct of affairs.
The president declared emphatically
! for the creation of an industrial com
mission and declared that public opin
ion had finally conquered big business
so that the average business man was
convinced that "the ways of liberty
are also the ways of peace and also
the ways of , success."
Personal Guilt Approved.
He emphatically approved makinz
guilt personal in all suits against
trusts. "Every act of business Is done
. at the. command or upon the initiative
of some ascertainable person or group
of persons." he said, "and these should
De neia individually responsible and
punishment should fall upon them and
wot upon the business organization of
which they make Illegal use."
The address recites the passage of
, tne currency Mil, and continues:
"Legislation has its atmosphere like
everything1 else, and the atmosphere
of accommodation and mutual under
. standing which we now breathe with
so much (refreshment is a matter of
sincere congratulation. This ought to
make our-Jask much less difficult and
embarrassing than it would have been
had we continued the atmosphere of
suspicion' and antagonism which so
long made Impossible the approach to
such questions with dispassionate fair
ness.. ,.
"Constructive legislation, when suc
cessful; Is always the embodiment of
convincing experience and of mature
public oplnipn which finally springs
out or that experience.

When Control of R. R. Se

(United Press Leased Wire.)
Washington, Jan. 20. For the fifth
time since he was elected President
Wilson today Journeyed from the White
House to the capitol to address con
gress this time on the subject of the
trust situation. Most of the cabinet
members accompanied him. Admission
to hear the address read was by ticket
and the tickets were exceedingly hard
to obtain. Only one apiece was allowed
even to congressmen and senators.
Nearly every member of the house
was in his seat and the galleries were
packed some time before the hour set
for the president's appearance. Just he-
tore he stepped into the chamber, the
senators, with Vice President Marshall
at their head, filed in and took seats
in front.
The chief executive had been chat
ting In th meantime in Speaker
Clark's office with the senate and
house committeemen delegated to act
as his escort. At 12:30 t.ie speaker's
gavel tapped his desk and a moment
later the president walked in, accom
panted by Senators Kern, Gallinger.
and Bacon and by Congressmen Mann,
Underwood, and Fitzgerald.
His voice, as he read, sounded full
and strong, and reached every corner
of the big chamber. Congressman Mann
started the applause when the presi
dent reached the portion of his mes
sage saying that the people were ready
to welcome a law giving the Interstate
commerce commission control of thi
railroads' financial policies.
Except for the diplomatic and exec
utive reservations, the galleries were
filled by 11 o'clock. Mrs. Wilson, with
her daughters, Margaret and Eleanor,
Miss Helen Bones and Dr. Grayson, ar
rived at 12:20. Secretary of State
Bryan, also arriving somewhat late,
escorted a party of South American
diplomats to their seats. He was smil
ing, affable and evidently happy.
At the reading of previous messages
women have been in a majority in the
galleries, Dut today tnere were as
many men as women present.
The assertion that "guilt is per
sonal" was also warmly applauded, and
the president himself was heartily
cheered as he left the chamber. The
senators took their departure as soon
as he had gone, and the house resumed
its routine.

ADDRESS
C. A. JOHNS MAY ENTER
E FOR GOVE
Attorney Well-Known in East
ern Oregon Republican
Circles Considering.'
C. A. Johns, for many years a prom
inent eastern Oregon lawyer and now
a practicing attorney In this city, is a
probable candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor. When seen
today Mr. Johns declined to commit
himself as to his candidacy, admitting,
however, that he had been urged from
many quarters to announce his candi
dacy. "I don't know what I shall do," said
he. "The suggestion has been made to
me by a large number of streng
friends that I should make the race.
So far, I have never held a political
office, and when I came down to Port
land to live I determined to keep out
of politics and devote my time exclu
sively to the law; but there are some
other reasons why I should like to be
governor of Oregon, and there are
some why I should not consider run
nine at all. Like Governor West, I
am too poor to be governor."
Mr. Johns has oeen a resident of
Oregon since 1858. .He was twice
elected mayor of his home town. Baker
City, this being the only elective office
he .ever held. In the former political
history of the state, he was known as
a free lance, having never been identl
fled with any of. the groups of politic
ians that controlled tne deslnies of
the Republican party in this state. H:
was one of the original advocates of
the direct primary and the initiative
and referendum.
In the event that Mr. Johns enters
the gubernatorial contest the number
of candidates for the Republican nomi
nation will be raised to nine. Others
known to be in the race are: Ex-Sheriff
R. L. Stevens. Gus C. Moser. W. A.
Carter, W. S. URen, Grant B. Dim
mlck, George C. Brownell, j. A. Withy

Washington, Jan. 20. Speaker
Champ Clark refused today to attend

tomorrow night. He declined when he
discovered that Secretary of State

played in bringing about President
Wilson's nomination in the Baltimore

(Salem Bureau of The Journal. )
Salem, Or., Jan. JO. Governor West,
replying today to District Attorney C.
T. Godwin of Baker, assures Godwin
that he is mistaken when he says the
governor was attacking the decent peo
ple of Baker county when he attacked
the district attorney. The governor
said he was attaching organized vice,
which had been permitted to thrive in
Baker county. The governor says:
Some time ago I advised you that
unless you took steps as provided by
law, for the abatement of certain nul-
Bances in your city, I would be obliged
to proceed against you for negligence
in office. It appears from newspaper
reports that my letter has had the de
sired effect and my request is being
complied with.

your recent letter to this office in
reference to the obscene pictures taken

cilman Weigand, saloonkeeper, law
breaker, and client of your partner and
Deputy Attorney Nichols:
"You intimate that in my attack on
you I am attacking the decent people
of Baker county. Let me admonish
you not to so flatter yourself. In at
tacking you, I was attacking organized
vice, which had been permitted to live
and operate through yo-jr failure to
perform the duties of your office and
your permitting your law partner and
deputy to act as its attorney.

"Hereafter this office expects you
to do- your duty, and we intend to see
that the laws of your county are
strictly enforced. Local officials will
be given every opportunity to onng
about this desired conditon of affars.
but on their failure to do so we intend
to resort to such prompt ana errective
measures as in our opinion will pro
duce results.
"Von were elected to tne orrice you
now hold as an act of charity, and you
owe It to the law-abiding citizens of
your county to remain faithful to your

(United Preu Leased Wire.)
Mexico City. Jan. 20. That Presi
dent Huerta had abandoned temporar
ily his plan to take the field in person
against the rebels was stated officially
today.
The change in program did not
please the dictator very well. It was
understood, but his cabinet insisted
on it. Huerta called the members to
gether unexpectedly about midnight to
tell them that he thought he could put
the rebellion down if he led his troops
himself, and that he proposed to do it.
Without exception the ministers ob
jected so vehemently, however, that he
finally yielded, at least for the time.
The main reason for his anxiety to
check the rebels at this time was said
to be that they are approaching Tor
reon, where there la stored cotton
worth several millions, and he"- does
not want it to fall into their hands.
A rumor was current that Uie presl
den Intends to turn over thgovern
ment to a commission of five Mexi
cans, himself resigning, and pdSsibly
leaving the country.

release from prison of Senator Somel

Its owners were promptly arrested.
The archbishop visited the dictator
personally in the prisoners' behalf, and
to please him Huerta freed them.

DYNAMITE CAPS IN

Oregon City Woman Finds Explo
sive Just in Time to Prevent
Terrible Catastrophe.
Oregon City, Or., Jan. 20. What may
have been a plot to blow up an entire
family was discovered by accident
Monday morning. Four dynamite caps.
each with an explosive pressure of
600 pounds to the square inch, were
wedged into a stick of wood, conven
iently placed at hand in James Cur
ren's barn on Roosevelt street, where
his wife could get it and put It in the
stove.
Mrs. Curren went to get some wood
for her stove Monday morning. She
picked up a large chunk and started
towards the house. Finding it too
large for her stove, she started to split
it. The first blow of the ax revealed
a dynamite cap. The caos were so
arranged that they could explode
either from concussion or fire. If the
wood had been burned in the stove, the
force of the four caps exploding would
probably have w recited the house and
killed Its Inmates.
The local police department and
Sheriff Maas' office were notified at
once and are working on the case. Mr.
Curren is- an employe of the paper
mills of this city.
