To which Garrison now replies, f that the conservation commission of V' which Pinchot is the head "cannot hope J to accomplish anything worth while by making wanton and untruthful state ments concerning the conduct of pub lic officials."

Congratula tions continued to pour Into the White House today over the birth yesterday afternoon of a son to Mrs. Francis Bowes Sayre, ' President Wilson's sec ond daughter. Both mother and child were said to be doing well. President Wilson's face " was wreathed In smiles when he entered the executive offices today. More than a hundred , messages of congratula tlon were received during. the morn ing, and the president's -smile widened as he read 'them. He made no effort to conceal his joy over the child being a boy. It was his first grandchild. The president had no boys of his own. ( Francis B. Sayre, the child's father, who Is first assistant to President Garfield of Williams college, was not at the White House when the child was born. He left Williarnstown, Mass., soon after the receipt of a tele gram, announcing his boy's birth, and was expected to reach Washington be' fore noon. Speculation was rife today concern ing the. name to be given the baby, but it was expected the child would ' be called either- Woodrow or Wilson. The christening will be held at the White House before the Sayres return to Williarnstown. Mr. and Mrs, Sayre were married at the White House November 25, 1913 After a honeymoon la Eurppe they went to Williarnstown to make their home. Mrs. Sayre has been visiting at the White House since Christmas. Ten other children six girls and four boys have been born In the White House, most of them being the grandsons or granddaughters of pres idents, i The baby was born in the northeast corner of; a room on the second floor of the White House,' facing Pennsyl vanla avenue. The Infant was brought Into the world without "the use of any of the modern .methods, such as the "twilight i sleep." He Is described as having light hair and blue eyes. President Wilson was accorded the privilege this morning of fondling his grandson lor a few moments. the bill and whether or not any of bis suggestions were adopted, he said, he does not know. Smith May Start Something;. President Wilson's, next appearance before congress is likely to be char acterized by greater atmospheric tenseness than has heretofore been the case. Certain representatives, notably Samuel W. Smith of Michigan, have raised the question of the right of members to ask the president ques tions while he is on the floor. Speaker Clark has informed them that they have a perfect right, but has suggested that It would be "wretched taste."' It is understood the notion still lingers In, Representative Smith's mind. and that Intlmaticns from friends re girding what happens when monkeys mix with: buzz-raws have not altered his course of thought in the least.

",, Second and Morrison Em Third and Oak Iw Great Benefit, "The blue sky law, with proper, amendments will be of great benefit to the state and, in fact, already has been," asserts a letter which Is being sent to every member of the Multnomah delegation today by E. C Giltner, secretary of- the Chamber of Commerce. ' ThC leglslative committee of I th&I -Chamber of Commerce, Joseph N. Teal chairman,; reviewed the amendments which have been proposed from within the cor poration department and ap proved them. The trustees of the Chamber of Commerce formally approved the amend ments as proposed and have taken decided stand against any other changes In the. law,' especially changes that would ; lessen its efficiency. - "Don't tamper with Oregon's blue sky law." The legislature's attention Is direct ed to this advice by Judge Charles H. Carey, a leader of the Oregon bar, and. oy jonn A, Keating, j president of the Lumbermens Trust company. They spoke this morning in behalf of the "little folks," who, before thers was a blue sky law, frequently lost all tney naa in the world through being lured," without protection or warniner. to-sink the few dollars they possessed into "get rich quick" schemes held out as baltj by crooks and defrauders. Mil lions of dollars were stolen from small investors in Oregon before the advent of the blue sky law. . They spoke, too. In the name of Oregon's legitimate business, which, under the blue sky law, has had pro tection agatn.xt snide real estate schemes, fake stock promotions and fraudulent enterprises. Slight Changes Heeded. "The act is very important and It should not be tampered with," said Judge Carey. "Some slight changes should be made, to correct slight defects, which have been found through the operation of the law; but in the main the act Is calculated to protect people from fraudulent stock selling enterprises, "It can do no harm to legitimate organizations. Any corporation Jin Oregon operating .on an honest basis should not object to the regulation imposed under this law. Tho only criticism to be made In their behalf is that some of the minor provisions need amending. "The administration of the corpora tion department under Mr. Watson has not only been efficient, but .has taken Into consideration convenience in the transacting of business, In sucti a way as to greatly assist the floating of new enterprises. Ke has systematized the work of the office and has arranged its affairs so that prompt attention is given the investigation of stock aud bond issues and no serious delays have been experienced as was feared by some prior to the enactment of the law. Oregon laagnet fox Promoters. "A western state like Oregon natur ally attracts a great many promoters and gamblers, who put forwatd schemes for the purpose of 'getting rich qujck,' and unless a lawprovidea seme check upon these schemes a good many Inexpert and unwary people are taken advantage of. This is evidenced by the numerous convictions in the United States court in fraud cases." ."It is natural that dealers in invest ment securities, as we are, should have felt some regret at being placed under state supervision," said Mr. Keating-. -' "This regret, however, we have given up, and we are satisfied that legislation on the order gf the blue sky law is not only very desir able, but very necessary. As large dealers in investment securities of a legitimate character, we are interest ed in having tho savings ,ot -the state conserved for safe' Investment. "We are of the opinion that rational administration of this law protects the innocent investors of this state from a large vaQ of the heavy losses such as they have had in former years by the purchase of "wildcat" securi ties, and that thereby the total wealth of the state is increased. We believe that this regulation i lust as im portant as supervision of banks, and for that reason we cheerfully submit. "The problem is to protect the in vestor, but Without such ill-advised restrictions as' to interfere with the free flow of capital into municipal and corporate investments. Heavy invest ments of new- capital are vital to the prosperity of this state, and will be for many years to come, and this cap ital will have to come largely through bond Issues. , In our Judgment. Mr. Watson, the present blue sky commis sioner, has given the state a very con scientious and intelligent! administra tion. I should consider it a great mis fortune to have the state lose the benefit of his service. The blue sky commissioner should be permanent in his office just as the banking- com missioner should, and should be equal ly undisturbed by political matters. "The first blue sky law was, neces sarily, a more or less crude effort, but In the right direction. The new law which Mr. Watson has - prepared is a rational measure, and better fitted to the problem. I As an officer of our own "company, and later as a member of the commit tee on legislation of the Investment Bankers' ,' Association of r America, I have had occasion to go over this bill, and to counsel with the general at torneys pf the Investment Bankers' association in New York as to some of the legal features "involved. This bill Is a second step in the process of evo lution of blue sky legislation. - just as the various acts passed in the history of the national banking law "have been similar steps.-; It is a carefully pre pared and wise measure, which 1 1 hope will be passed by the legislature. s ' -I trust the sober public opinion of this state will support the blue , sky legislation, and that the governor will leave Mr. Watson undisturbed in Ij position.' , 4 - ... , z ; ' v AGENTS FOR HOOVER ELECTRIC SUCTION SWEEPERS MAIL ORDERS FILLED BY EXPERT SHOPPERS 'Merchandise of c Merit Only Phone Marshall 5000 Phoni A-6691 Imported : French Siirah Silk Ribbons i For lingerie will be found in oar ribbon de partment.
