An attempt was made to slip over II. B. 331, the S:nith bill giving corporations the right to condemn government land along streams!, when the senate was In confusion tonight. The reading clerk announced that the Judiciary committee had submitted the bill without recommendation. He began leading the bill. Senator Dlmlck, however, waa on the alert. IW stopped the reading clerk. "How does it come this bill is sub mitted without report?' lie ' demanded. "The judiciary committee reported to kill that bill. ' Why is it shoved tip here now, at this hour? Why has it lain on the desk all this time? "What are you trying to slip over here at the last hour of the session? I call upon the members of the Judi ciary committee as witnesses that the till was reported unfavorably." Tho bill was laid on the table to await the presence of Senator Moser, chairman of the committee. When Moser returned he explained that as members of the committee could not agree on the bill, he decided to report it and without recommenda tion. x He said the bill was a good bill.

West Virginia to Vote on Suffrage Wheeling, W. Va., Feb. 20. The "West Virginia legislature has submit ted to the voters of the state an amendment to the constitution giving women the right to vote, and it will . come up at the regular election In 1916. The suffrage campaign haa Iw'en started and will be carried to every corner of the state. The feeling is general that suffrage is gaining ground steadily, and, unless some set back comes, should, sweep tho state. The legislature in submitting the question to a vote of the people was almost unanimous, one senator voting against It. while in the house there ere only six in opposition. Virtually all church organizations In the state fcave indorsed the women's movement, and the Progressive and Socialist par ties are making it part of their cam paign.

The house this afternoon passed the diplomatic appropriation bill carrying $4,450,000.

Washington, Feb. 20. President Wilson stood in the east room of the White House today with his fingers pressed down upon a small ivory but ton while cabinet members, senators and congressmen watched Intensely. "Tell me when to let go," said the president quietly. A moment's silence followed. "No.w," whispered an attache. The president lifted his fingers. The Pan ama Pacific exposition, 3000 miles away, was opened. As a precaution against any hitch, the flash was sent both by wire and a wireless. While one message was speeding across the continent on the telegraph -lines, the other was rushing through space by way of the power ful Tuckerton radio station. "We could not make this very dramatic." said the president with a laugh, "but it certainly appeals to the imagination if not to the eye." An Ivory keyboard with solid gold fixtures and studded with gold nug gets was used for the ceremony. The key that the president used in the ceremony was given to former President Taft In 1909 to open the Alaska-Yukon exposition. It was the gift of George W. Carmack, the dis coverer of gold in Alaska. It Is al most entirely of gold. to begin the collection of $6,500,000 from Cuba to cover the expenses of pacification following Cuba's emanci pation from Spanish rule.

Amidon Hangs on Like Grim Death Republican Wheel Hone Wants to Ba Incpactor In State Corporation De partment or Something1 Similar. Salem, Or., Feb. 20. Still Jobless but hopeful In these days of whole sale extensions of the gubernatorial appointive power, E. I. Amidon of Portland has been at the state house for several days on his third separate and distinct mission since the legisla ture opened. This time, scenting dispersement of the forces In the state corporation de partment, he is circulating a petition tliat he be appointed to an inspector ship, either in the present department if it remains, or in the combined corporation-insurance department if the ccnsolidation takes place Amidon had little success In his pre vious visitations upon the legislative and executive officers. His great rec ommendation of being a staunch Re publican wheel horse, however. Is being relied upon. Amldon's hopes were dashed earlier in the week when he saw the bill to create another judicial Job in Multno mah go wrong. Not that he could qualify, but this judgeship would havo benefited him through the extra po litical influence it would set up. Many months ago Amidon ha-d promised him self the control of the political patron age of Multnomah county, but some how the idea never was successfully carried out. Seven Indicted in Alleged Conspiracy Many Ramon That Other Californiana Are to Be Arrested Charged With Fomenting' Mexican Revolution. Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 20. The ceven men indicted Friday by the fed eral grand jury on the charge of or ganizing a revolution against Carranza in lower California, will appear before Judge Bledsoe next week for arraign ment. All will enter pleas of not guilty, and their cases will be set for trial. It is not likely that the trial can be had earlier than July as the calendar in the federal court is crowded and the trial will have to await its regular turn. Government agents continue to main tain the strictest secrecy regarding their future investigations and refused today to deny or admit that additional arrests in the alleged conspiracy are to be looked for. There have been many rumors to the effect that others are to ba draAru Into the government drag net, but no information concerning these reports has been given out by tlie government operatives. At the headquarters of the Carran zistas in this city today is was said that agents working in the interests of the Carranza regime have been gath ering evidence tending to show the source of the money contributions to Villa and other enemies of Catranza. Lack of Backbone Arouses Stray er When Senate Indefinitely Postpones Yearly County Auditing- Bill and Then Passed It. (Salem Bure.ni of The Jmtrnal.) Salem, Or., Feb. 20. "The tenacity of the barnacles is only exceeded by the lack of backbone of some people," so declared Senator Strayer tonight when the senate reversed itself In less than an hour on the bill providing for yearly audits of county records and books. The senate indefinitely post poned the bill. Within an hour it voted to reconsider its action and then passed the bill.

GREAT CROWD WAITS PATIENTLY FOR WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT When Wilson Touches the Button in Washington Mul titude Cheers Loudly. San Francisco, Feb. 20. Between the formal exercises and the stroke of noon there was a short interval that was thrilling with the sense of a great expectancy. Shortly before noon President C. C, Moore arose, and with upraised hand stilled the sound of voices that, from in front of the grandstand, arose like the deep booming of a mighty surf upon the shore. , "I will read yau a message which has been sent by me to President Wil son at Washington,' he said: " 'To the President, Wash., D. C. " 'The Panama-Pacific International exposition of 1915 is ready. Those to whom the congress of the United States with approval of the president, en-j trusted the great work of preparing ' this celebration of the completion of the Panama canal have performed their task with all the zeal and de votion of which they were capable. " 'We offer our respectful homage to you, and through you to the people of the nation, and dare to express tho hope that our patriotic endeavors will merit the-eommendation of our govern ment and the appreciation of mankind. " 'We now await your official open ing of the exposition by pressing the electric button which will, by wireless telegraph, start the activities of the exposition. " 'This will be the first time any ex position has been opened in this man ner.' "To this the president's reply will be simply to push the button," continued Moore, "and I will send him the fol lowing dispatch: " 'I have the honor to announce that the exposition is now officially open. God bless the people of the United States' " Then from the key of the wireless machine there sped a series of dots which, recorded at Washington, formed the signal that gave warning the time was close at hand and that ail things must be ready. On the stroke of noon the wireless man sent a rapid volley of electrical dashes. President Wilson pressed the button. The act released the magic of elec trical energy which, transmitted in stantaneously to San Francisco, . sent leaping into the sun-drenched air under the blue shy the water of all the foun tains in the southern region of the ex position, and discharged a battery of 21 guns, and opened the doors and set working the machinery in machinery palace. The Panama-Pacific International Exposition was officially opened. All the silk-hatted, frock-coated digna taries in the grandstand, President Moore, Secretary Lane, Bishop Hanna, Mayor Rolph and all the others were on their feet, swinging the silk hats and howling like school boys.
