Linn, who lives at 8110 Sixty-third avenue southeast, testified that he would have come to- court before but did not know until Tuesday that he was wanted. Testifying as to how he became .watcher,, Usn explained that Fred Phelan. former deputy under Sheriff Word, had given him several days' work during the campaign at $2. a day and th day before election had hired: him as watcher in precinct 37 lakingr up his job at the polls at? 9:30 o'clock election day morning, hejesing woraea until s:J0 o clock the next , evening, when h. was so fagged out that he telephoned the sheriff's office for relief, using the number given on his Instruction blank. Linn asserted vehemently that ha as never alone in the polling place and that ha saw nothing suspicious in ' the actions of any of the officials that would explain in any way how the ballots came to be erased. "Th only ballots I touched, I han dled at the request of the chairman, to read off figures when one of the judges was at lunch. I did so with the knowledge and consent of the board, and I don't believe I had gone through eight when the other man came back."

HOUSE TO VOTE ON PROHIBITION MEASURE TODAY (Continued From Page One.) liquor that may be shipped in for per sonal use. The limit la two quarts of spirituous and 24 quarts of malt liquor In four suecettsive weeks. Some con tend that this limit is too low, while others contend there should be no limit at ail, and still others Insist that the prohibition should be absolute. This has been a point -of difference all along. Vote as fl Majority Demand. There are a number of members who are not personally In favor of prohi bition, but wiio are going to vote for the bill on the ground that the people have expressed their wishes in the matter and they will carry out the will of the voters. These representatives will accept the bill as reported In, placing all the responsibility for its effectiveness upon the committee that araitea it. v'i R. P.

I., Feb. 6. It was officially announced today that General V6n Mackenzen's troops west of Warsaw have captured 6000 Russians, including 26 officers, during the past four days' fighting. The Russians are making a furious counter attack, but without result. Efforts of the Slavs' to recaptur positions lost to the Germans east of Bolimow were met by a heavy artillery fire and repulsed. There are many indications that th Russians are trying to resume the offensive in East Prussia, near Tilsit. Strong attacks on the German posi tions along the Nlemen river are de clared to have been checked. ' The present fighting in Flanders is regarded as unimportant- An isolated French attack on Perthes haa been re pulsed. Klse where in the west mili tary activities are confined to artil lery exchanges. 100,000 GERMANS IN NEW ATTACKS UPON THE RUSSIAN LINES Halted trea leased Wre. Petrograd, Feb. 6. One hundred thousand German troops are being hurled headlong against' the Russian positions west of Warsaw. One of the greatest battles of the Eu ropean war- is rapidly developing in that regioiy announcement was made In an offjfcal statement issued today by the war office here. Seven complete divis ions of the kaiser's army are making a series of frontal attacks between the Bzura and Rawka rivers in Poland. Hundreds of German guns are shelling the Russian trenches. Already the blood of the dead and wounded crimsons the snow over the whole region. All day yesterday reenforcements continued to reach the German lines, and from daybreak until nightfall the desperate German assault continued. So fiercely did the enemy attack and at such close quarters were the con tending troops brought together that it was a hand to hand struggle almost along the entire line. Still Alma at Warsaw. The desperation of the attack on the Russian lines in that quarter bears out previous surmises that Field Mar shal von Hindenburg was planning to make another supreme attempt to smash his way through the lay lines and reach Warsaw. The czar's forces in this region are receiving reenforce ment from other parts of the eastern battle line, and war office officials are confident that the enemy will be held In check. Officials admit, however, that the Russians have been forced to withdraw from the Beskid passes in the Carpa thians. It is declared that the enemy put a numerically superior force into the battle there, but that the Russians withdrew only after taking 200Q pris oners. Mass Attacks Belled On. Russian troops west of Warsaw are declared by the war office to be per forming brilliantly. It is evident that General von Ma kenzen, who is in direct command in that region, believes that by mass at tacks he can break through to Warsaw by sheer force of numbers. The war office statement describes the frightful carnage, along a section of the front of less than two thirds of a mile. Several complete German di visions attacked, bringing up great masses of troops. In the face of a murderous rifle and machine gun fire, these soldiers wavered, but their offi cers steadied the lines and the advance continued. The Russians continued their heavy fire, and at the same, time field; guna were brought into action. This finally brought the German attack to a halt and the enemy retreated. DAY AND MOSER IN CLASH OVER SCHOOL 1 STATUTE AMENDMENT (Continued From Page One.) Incidentally Senator Garland, one f the Democratic minority, who was the onlyi one to sign the minority report cf :the educational committee against tb JtiU, ia- credited with victory, tils GERMANS RUSSIANS report was adopted and Moaer'a bill wa indefinitely postponed. Tha vat was 23 to I. "This i a bill that la wholly nd tfrely vicious, declared Pay. "It 4a wrong in principle." He demanded to know Why Moter wanted to apply laws to Multnomah county that do not apply to the rest of the state. "Why do you want to throw Multno mah county to the animals and wolves?" he demanded In angry tones. "The last section of this bill is vicious. It should be scotched. We should place our heel on it and crush it Into the earth." Senator Moser arose. "I want to ex plain, he began. "I don't want you to explain, shout ed Day. "I want to ask the senator" a ques tion," said Moser. "I won't answer your question," re3 torted Day angrily. "Sit down, I don't want to be interrupted. This bill ia vicloua and should be killed now. Senators, I say kill this bill now." JCeUaher Wave Sands. Senator Kellaher, whose seat ia be tween the seats of Day and Moaer, jumped up and waved his hands for everybody to ait down. "I think the cat is working out of the bag," he said. Senator Day continued his outburst against the bill. He said the school taxes in Multnotnah county were now about $2,600,000 and that was enough. Says Teachers Make Pemand. "There is no demand for this change from the taxpayers, school boards or the children, declared Senator Gar land. "The demand cornea from the teachers who want higher salaries. They think that the people who do not have to pay taxes will vote higher tax levies." He said no one was cham pioning the cause of the taxpayers and there was need of someone to protect their interests. Senator Moser replied that from the number of requests he and other sena tors are receiving from taxpayers for an appropriation for irrigation and the support of certain institutions, he thought that the senators should be protected from the taxpayers. Moser said the demand, for the change in the law came from 25 clvlo organizations in the state. He read a communication from the Oregon Congress of Mothers Indorsing the bill. "I can't see why the man who pays house rent is not as much entitled to vote in school elections as anyone else," said Senator Langguth. Fling at Mothers' Clubs. Senator Strayer declared the sena tors were committed to "economy, and yet there are senators here advocating a law that would give a majority of the people, whether they own a dollar's worth of property, power to saddle on the taxpayers more than the ways and means committee can ever save." Strayer said te schools of Oregon are the peer of those in any state in the Union, and wanted to know why the electorate should be extended. Senator Bingham took a fling at the activities of mothers' clubs, and other women's organizations. "The poor women are deluded in the belief that they are doing some good," he said. "This movement is bolstered up by some tax-eating barnacle that wants to feed off the ody politic." "The main question is: Do you want to extend the vote to the mothers of our children?" insisted Senator Vinton. "Who is more vitally interested in the welfare of our schools than.the moth ers?" He pointed out that in elections where taxes for other ' purposes are voted that the electorate is not limited to taxpayers. "I am sorry to see the outburst of temper by Senator Day," said Moser a little later. "I am sorry to see him lose his head in that manner. If he is opposed to all legislation applica ble only to Multnomah county he should repeal the Portland cfty char ter, and much other legislation. If he Is to set up his wisdom against that of all the past legislatures, and that of the other members of the Multno mah delegatloXlet the leader of the senate do it. He will have the as sistance of his chief of staff." Bill Extends Scope. Senator Moser greatly emphasized "leader," and turned to face Senater Bingham when he spoke of tha "chief of staff." Besides extending the scope of the electorate for school, elections and providing that the school board, after advertising for bids and receiving none that la satisfactory for work costing over $300, may proceed to do the work under its own direction, the Moser bill repealed the old annual school meeting law and gave the school directors authority to levy the annual school tax. Senator McBride ridiculed the Ore gon congress of mothers for their sup port of the bill. How the Tote Stood. The vote on the motion to adopt the minoirty report and thereby kill the bill was as follows: For the report Barrett, Bingham, Bishop, Burgess, Cusick, Day, Dimick, Garland, Hollis, Kellaher, Kiddle, La Follett, Leinenweber, McBride Rags dale, Smith of Josephine, - Stewart, Strayer, Von der Hellen, Wood, -Mr. President. Against the report Clarke, Farrell, Hawley, Langguth. Moser, Perkins, Smith of Coos, Vinton. u, S. EXPECTED TO PROTEST TO GERMAN ORDER (Continued From Page One,,) makes the order jiuch more inclusive. Officials here believe the published Berlin statement is correct and they expect to receive a similar notice soon. The cabinet met today, and it is pre sumed that this development was the principal topic of discussion. Secre tary. Bryan was out of the city and Counsellor Lansing was called into the meeting. It is believed he furnished data regarding the matter. ANOTHER WARNING IS SENT BY GERMANY OF NEWEST NAVAL PLANS Berlin, by wireless to Sayville, L. I., Feb. 6. Germany announced to day that she plans to strike another blow at England's control of the seas, A new official warning to neutral countries, declaring the intention of Germany to attack British transports bearing troops and munitions to' France, was issued by the government. It declares these vessels will be at. tacked "with all the means of war. fare at our disposal." "England is on the eve of chipping large numbers of troops and quanti ties f war material to France," says the announcement. "We shall proceed against these transports with all tha means of warfare at our disposal. - "Peaceful shipping la earnestly cau tioned against approaching the north ern and western coasts of France, as it is threatened with serious danger of being confounded with ships for warlike purposes. The route around Scotland is recommended as the best track through' the North sea. - Fresh vldeoee- of approval of the German public; to' tha order Issued yesterday extending tha ''war. Bona" was given today; , Tha newspaper announce thai thi action constitutes practically a blockade of tha French eoast. They alao announce that both the English and French blockade are advance stepa . in the policy . of sub marine warfare suggested by Vice Ad miral von Tirpitx. i BRITISH DESTROYER FLOTILLA TO GUARD AGAINST SUBMARINES By Kd T. Ken, T?nitrd Press Htafjf Correspondent. London, Feb. 6. England has ac cepted the challenge aent forth by Germany as the ,reeult of England's efforts to starve the enemy out. The determination of the kaiser to extend the war oa to British and French waters will 'be met by British warships. An important conrerenee was held today by the high .officials of the Brit ish admiralty. The subject discussed was not announced, but it is authorita tively reported that an order will be issued for part of the destroyer flo tilla to detach from the BrltlshiNortb Sea fleet and to assume duty neater home. - The task of sweeping the sea free of hostile submarines , is expected to be assigned to part of these ships. Oth ers will be detailed to convoy Tallied and neutral merchantmen after Febru ary 18, the date on which the German order goes lntp. effect. It Is possible that a few cruisera of the Royal type may also be assigned to the convoy. Admiralty officers unanimously de clare the German threat of an exten sion of the war zone is a "bluff" and that it is merely the clliiiax of a series of statements from Berlin which indicate that the advisers of the kaiser are getting desperate. Government of ficials and representatives of the big shipping interests refuse to concede that Germany can succeed in her plan to cut off the food supplies of Great Britain. The proclamation of Germany's pro posal to extend the war zone to allied waters was addressed to all the neu tral nations of the world. In connec tion with it tha attitude of the Uni ted States is regarded here as ex ceedingly important. A naval writer in the Dally Chronicle says today: "The attempt of the Germans to ig nore the American flag on the strength of a paper blockade will be a hostile act against the United States. The sinking of an American liner, with passengers and crew, would be an atrocity that would almost inevitably mean war. It is the opinion here that the Amer icana state department will present a vigorous protest against the German decree. LETTER AND SPIRIT OF ECONOMY CAUSE SPLIT IN THE HOUSE (Continued From Page Of ) surging ahead in developing their -waste places." Mr. Hinkle deelared Oregon has borne too long the stigma of moss backism. He declared we have thrown every obstacle in the way of private capital. D. C. Lewis of Multnomah spoke vigorously foi- the bill, declaring that while he was elected on a platform of economy aa much as anyone, he could see no economy to allow fertile plains to lie waste for lack of water. It Is waste, he insisted, to provide no place where idle men may find work, for the millions invested by the rail roads in central Oregon to bring no return to the people. He cited one project where 25 people had' lived be fore reclamation that now has 2000 men raising wheat and cattle and bogs, assessed formerly at $25,000 and now assessed at millions. In the Klamath project, he said, the assess ment is now $1,700,000 where it was practically nothing before reclama-, tion. V Clari Opposes Bill. . Mr, Clark rf Gilliam declared the people of his county are clamoring for relief from taxation. Men have been working there for 30 years with out a cent of help from state or gov ernment and are now tha backbone of the county. As a member of the ways and means committee bringing in the majority report, he, for one, protested against the expenditures as another burden upon an already overtaxed state. He said last year - he and many like him had turned out their mules because there was nothing to feed them. ' The farmers need their money at home, he declared, rather than distribute it here and there over 'places where it will not return to them. Davey of Harney declared the es sence of the bill is i to reach new acreages and make them productive, thereby relieving the tax burden from the sections that now have to bear -it all.. He pointed to a -fact that many appeared to have overlooked that the appropriation Is not a gift but a loan, to be repaid with interest plus over bead charges when the lands have been redeemed. Cart mill Is Opposed. Opposing the bill, Cartmlll of Baker county declared that there are now under reclamation far more idle lands than .lands taken advantage of by set tlers. Elmore of Linn, a member of the ways and means committee, spoke against the bill. . The opposition is expected to reach its high tide this afternoon when Will G. Hare of Washington county takes the floor. He Is expected to cite con crete experiences of the state in other leclamation projects. Friends said this morning that Hare primed him self with statistics on the Tumalo project. " The debate came unexpectedly this morning, the committee report being slipped in along; with other reports, and Hinkle had a hard time in getting the subject open forj discussion.
