(Salm Bureau of Th Journal.)
Salem, Or., Feb. 20. The conference
committee appointed to reach an agree
' ment on the appropriation for th in
dustrial school for girls reached an
agreement tonight, along: the lines pro
posed earlier in the day. The senate
immediately passed the bill. The bill
Kives the school all the - appropriation
RHked for. except 115,000 for an addi
tional building. This disposes of one
feature of legislative deadlock.
The nous forced the senate to back
watr on Bingham's bill providing a 5
per cent differential in favor of homu
manufacturers bidding on public eon
tracts. The house would not stand
for the emergency clause.
When the report came to the senate
that the house refused to approve the
report of the conference committees,
leaving the emergency clause atiached
to the bill, Senator Bingham moved
to have the senate accept the verdict
of the house.
"I do this to save the bill," he said.
The motion was passed.
Joker reared.
Members of the house beared that a
Joker was concealed in the measure,
such a joker as might allow collusions
between county courts and contractors.
Representative Oscar W. Home labor
advocate, denounced the emergency
clause as a proof of information he
had had before, which was that in
terests were already at work c use
the preferential law to allow a steal
. of $85,000 on the contract for the in
terstate bridge.
The argument lasted nearly an hour,
the opinion being expressed that the
emergency clause was put on merely
to head off referendum and thus al
low the alleged steal to be put through.
Jiornc held- that email contractor in
Portland, in no way equipped to handle
the work, could get the contract at a
1 5 per cent advance over outside com
petitors and then, by splitting the dif
ferential, make something for himself
and allow the outsider to whom he
would farm out the contract a yubstan
tial profit over the rightful profit.
Mr. Porter feared some chicanery
and resisted the amendment.
Everyone who discussed the meas
ure insisted that the principle is ideal,
being for the interest of home manu
facture. Kven Mr. Home, who denounced the
measure in fiery terms, because of the
speed with which he said It was being
put through, said the measure without
the emergency, Is one of the greatest
constructive pieces of legislation in the
history of the state.
On a rising vote, the house turned
down the emergency and sent the meas
ure back with that verdict.
"This means that we will have no
bill," Commented Speaker Selling.
To Investigate Trait Co. Business.
A resolution providing for the ap
pointment of four citizens to Investi
gate the trust company business and
report at 4he next session of the leg
islature was adopted, the sum of $1000
being provided for clerk hire. A reso
lution that the speaker appoint' two
members of the legislature to act with
the secretary of state in arranging the
seating of members of the twenty-ninth
legislative assembly was adopted.

A campaign to bring the famous an

taken Jointly by the Rose Festival as
sociation and the Panama-Pacific In

The plan is to have the Liberty Bell
sent to the exposition via Portland.
It is the property of the city of Phil

ready given his consent to Manager
Phil Bates of the festival. A telegram
was sent today asking for the names of
the Philadelphia, city council, in order
that a petition may be sent to each.
President Emery Olmstead, of the Rose
Festival, predicted this morning that
the ffort' will be successful.

senger agent of the Northern Pacific,
said that the Philadelphia agent of the
railroad would be glad to organize the

M0SER BILL IS

he declared a breach of faitli be
tween the house committee nd the
house.
He mild he had promised to vote
for the bill for the sake of peace,
but with the emergency clause at
tached, precluding any action upon it
by the people through the referendum,
he would protest, would vote against
a bill thus forced on the members
by the gang that rules the senate.
Few had the taste or temerity to
discuss the bill. Mr. Husted admit
ted that its passage is a compromise
between the house and the senate on
the com-pensation bill. Since it is the
only way this bill can be passed,
rather than see the Michigan act
placed on the. Oregon statutes two
years hence, he had consented to the
, compromise.
Conrad P. Olson of Multnomah, who
'had been working upon the house
members all day long before he had
convinced a sufficient number that
the passage of the senate measure
would bring about the break in the
deadlock and the end of the session,
made a few half hearted remarks ex
plaining why the principle is good.
By giving the appointive power,
also the discharging power, he said

Salem, Feb. 20, In spite of the de
structive program of legislation with
which the brigadiers of the state sen
ate came to. Salem, tfle session, be
cause of the poise and courage of the
house, has passed a few measures that
will be d'f real value to Oregon.
In the senate there were 314 bills
introduced. his is 24 less than the
number introduced at the 1913 ses
sion. In the house the total number
of bills introduced was 615, which is
118 less than the number introduced
two years 'ago. About half of tne
bills have been pasted.
Without doubt the bill which aroused
the greatest interest was the prohi
bition bill. It Is generally believed
that the bill is a good one, drafted
in sincerity and guarded on its way
through the legislature by men hon
estly striving to carry out the - ex
pressed will of the people.
Another measure of importance Is
Bingham's bill authorizing county
courts and other public bodies letting
public contracts for supplies and ma
terials to favor Oregon companies when
their bids are within 5 per cent as
low as the lowest bid of outside con
cerns. It Is expected the Mil will pro.
mote Oregon industries.
Taxing- Powers Limited.
As economy has been the cry coming
from all pacts of the state, the leg-
; islature passed a bill limiting the
taxing powers of all taxing districts.
This bill provides that a tax levy in
any district cannot be increased more
than 6 per cent in any one year.
A new tax law and a permanent reg
istration law have been enacted. The
tax law provides for tax payments
April 5 and October 5. It provides for
a charge of 1 per cent a month In
terest on first payments when not paid
when due. and an additional penalty
, of 5 per cent if the second half pay
ment is not paid November 6, or one
; month after the due date of the sec-
1 ond payment.
j Responding to the demands of the
people of the state, the legislature
passed a resolution referring to the
education without the payment of tuition charges The fund is created by 'SSSSr"1 Z
a special tax in such districts as may be without high schools and is to be ' etngie items in appropriation bills,

OLD PRINTING FIGHT TO END.
When the senate passes house bill 197, providing for the final estab
lishment of the state owned printing plant upon a workable and enduring
basis we will have heard the last rumble of the old state printing fight.
The state-owned plant has been in operation just lone enouffh to Doint

Appropriations Passed.
Immediately after the passage of
the Meser bill, the house passed ap
propriations covering the appropria
tions for the denominational institu
tions for the care of delinquent girls.
This action was one of, the clubs be
ing held over the senate to force it
to pass the appropriation for the In
dustrial school for girls and It was
after the house had receded from its
position and passed the girls' school
bill that the matter was disposed of.
Accordingly, the house passed the
appropriation bill allowing $7500 for
the Florence Crittenton Home; $6,000
for th Patton Home; $1,000 for the
State Historical society, which appro
priation had been tacked to H. B. 487;
$85,500 for the waifs and foundlings:
$14,500 for the poor and indigent and

(Sak-B) BurHU of The Jonrnal.)
Salem. Or Fet.. 20. Appropriation
bills calling for $177,400 were passed
by the house this afternoon, making
$862,700 for the day. One of the ear
liest measures considered was the ap
propriation Of $17,400 for the salaries
of the master fish warden and his dep
uties, which, had been indefinitely
postponed in the morning: as the climax
of thii session-long crusade. The
measure was recalled by Representa
tive Jeffries of Clatsop, who declared
the postponement was a result of in
advertence on the part of the mem
bers, who did not realize that by cut
ting off this appropriation they were
nullifying the whole fish code over
which they had striven throughout the
session. When the vote was taken.

London, Feb. 20. Five merchant
vessels have been wrecked thus far
since the establishment by the Ger
man admiralty of the maritime war
zone about the British Isles. The de
cree has been in effect for three days.
Two were sunk today. They were:
British steamer Cambank of Cardiff,
torpedoed without warning off Amlwch
Bay, Wales, by a German submarine,
with a loss of the third engineer, two
firemen and a sailor who was drowned
while getting Into a Ufa boat. Nor
wegian steamer Bjorke, which struck
a mine in the North sea and sank. The
crew saved by a trawler, report the
collier was torn to pieces by the ex
plosion. Those previously sunk were:
Norwegian tank steamer Bel ridge,
torpedoed by a submarine near Folk
istone and beached In a badly damaged
condition. Norwegian steamer Nord
kyn sunk by a mine in. the Baltic.
French steamer IMnorah torpedoed by
a German submarine.
Ho Warning aires.
The Cambank was torpedoed with
out a chance for her crew to escape,
a few miles from Linas Point, in the
Irish sea, about 11 o'clock this morn
ing. With the exception of the four
men lost, the crew and pilot, 20 in
all, were saved.
The vessel was the largest yet: de
stroyed in the "bread war." She was
323 feet long, had a 47 foot beam and
22 foot depth of hold. She was of
3112 tons gross tonnage. She was
built in 1899.
When torpedoed she was bound from
Huelva to Liverpool with a cargo of
copper.
The p.-osence Of German submarines
off Amlwch is of deadly significance
to both British and neutral shipping,
it is pointed out here tonight, because
this is the route which practically all
the Atlantic liners take on their way
to and from Liverpool. Many mer
chant vessels of all sorts pass over
the routo daily.
American Untr Sails.
When the American liner New York
left Liverpool this evening several
hours behind her schedule, she carried
180 passengers, 32 of whom had
caused ber to be delayed. These, un
able to mika the scheduled connec
tions from the continent, bad come
a round about way.
The Daily Chronicle reports that
two German submarines were observed
six miles off the coast of Suffolk yes- ,
terday evening by a mine sweeper. A :
British destroyer was quickly on the ,
scene and fired at the vessel, but the
effect of the shots Is not known.
Suffolk is on the southeastern part
of England and fronts the North Sea.
Touring Car Demolished.
E. G. Griffith, of 645 Tenino avenue,
Sellwood, head of the Welch Grocery
company, was severely jolted and his
touring car was completely demol
ished when a loaded gravel train of
the Pacific Bridge company struck

bill.
"This is not going to be the last

"Oregon has already $700,000 in this

she has more than almost any other
state. Indeed, she always gets all
she is entitled to, and a little bit
more, due to the persistence, energy

"But I urge the senator to wait
