Washington, Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) TU minority In tbe senate In favor of Intervention in Mexico la still numerically negligible, after 10 day f heated controversy following the murder of 18 American citizens at Santa TeabeL. This la the conviction of Senator Borah, based on a canvass of the m sentiment of the senate. Opposition "among Republican senators is base-1 on the ground that action now would Result In substantial political advan tage to President Wilson. , The feel- : log among Democratic senators, as Senator Borah finds it, is that Imme diate intervention might be of less political value than action taken more nearly, on the eve of the presi dential 'campaign. Xeaolutloas om too BasU. All the Intervention resolution have gone over until the next meet ing of the foreign relations commit tee. Unless some other outrage is committed, it is believed they will be till further postpone In line with the Democratic policy of keeping the lid down tight on the Mexican question. ,. The administration's Mexican pol icy was excoriated In the house by Representative Mondell of Wyoming. .He characterised it as "not a policy of watcbful waiting.' but of mtp ciievoui middling and Impertinent Interference, coupled with base be trayal and calloused Indifference to the welfare and safety of American . citizens." E enunciation Was Sweeping-. His denunciation covered the re ported arrangement under which thi -United States will not intervene in Mexico without consulting other American republics, the recognition , of Carranza and the administration s attitude toward Huerta. 8enator Borah has Issued the fol- - lowing statement: "Some seem to think that it is bad politics to bring about a Lltuatln s which may make Mr. Wilson a war president and thereby under all prece dents insure his reelection. Th's .does not appeal to me at all. I do . not think we have any more riglit to play politics by inaction and in decision and a failure to do cur uuty than thi president would have i right to play politics by getting into .war next May for that purpose. ... ravore Decisive Action. "It the Uvea of American citizens. both upon land and sea, and Ame.-- can property can be protected in .wnatever manned it may be nece saxy to do U and the president re elected, I would rather have thiit .than have our cltisens massacred. Our rights ignored, our treaties dU- - regarded and have the president de- - feated. "So far as I am concerned, if there Is anything in It from a polrticl Standpoint, they are entitled to it. I am, nevertheless. In favor of de cisive action and I would not delay rtt an hour on account of politics," I PROGRESSIVES OUT TO GRAB . G. 0. P. CLUB r s, s I ) JIT " . (Continued From Page One). permitting the meeting to rush through a permanent organization. He declared that the whole program was Cut and dried. He objected to a com mittee being named on nominations, saying the election of permanent o(fl cers should be left to a free and open - ight. .-. Several times speakers were forced to their seats by the tumult yells tnoose calls, hisses. It was a real' UTely affair. There was not a dull moment from start to finish. And the Iiall was filled to capacity. .Following the election of temporary Officers. Logan started the scrap by moving that the chairman appoint a committee of five to open a roster ro ths signatures of all registered Repub licans and to prepare a constitution I and by-laws, so only those who were enrolled as members could participate in the proceedings. Motion Is Challenged. Banfleld McDonald, erstwhile Pr.--gTesslve, challenged the motion as be ing out of order. He eaid It would shut out the Progressives, who were not yet registered as Republicans. "If this is a get together meeting, you better make it a get together meeting," shouted McDonald. Great sobs arose in all parts of the hall. "I'm Just telling you. I'm not mak ing that as any threat," explained Mc Donald. George Joseph then produced a snow white dove and presented it to the chairman. . Gus Moeer and C. W. Fulton said they favored getting a membership enrollment before permanent organiza tion was effected, but they wanted to open the books to all who cared to come favoring the success of the Re publican party. Logan accepted the suggestions. "Then we can depart from the time old, rotten practice of rushing into a temporary organization and then rush ing into a permanent organization. "If the Republican party has not enough enthusiasm to carry it over to another meeting, then we are in very poor condition Indeed." Wants Oood Old Scrap. Mr. Allen took the floor. "My observations of Republican gatherings of the part," he said, "are that someone has a slate up his sleeve. Let us throw this thing wide open and have a good old scrap." -Mr. Chairman! Mr. Chairman!' shouted McDonald. "I move that all pending motions be laid on the table, and we proceed to business." The motion carried by the ruling of the chair, as the volume of nols on the aye and nay vote was about the same. 8. H. Gruber shouted a motion that the temporary organization be made permanent. This brought Joseph and others to their feet, with cries that they would not stand for such tactics. P. B. Struck, from the rear of the hall, declared that Logan's motion for a committee had an ulterior motive. That was as far as he got, as his voice was drowned by yells of "Sit down," and "Shut up." Voice Pierces 91a. In a final effort. Struck raised hi voice above the din and mo-ved that the gathering proceed to permanent or ganisation. "Point of order," shouted Mark Woodruff, from the front row. Wood ruff turned and shook his finger in Struck's direction. "Until the commit tee on constitution reports, you don't know who you want to elect, old man," he said. Benjamin R. Perkins sought to say something about the constitution and by-laws that were already prepared, but he was hissed down. George A. Brown asked for a recess of 15 minutes while the committee on constitution prepared a report. "There is no need to recess," inter posed Mr. Logan, "as Mr. Idleman has a constitution ail prepared in his pock et." "I have, because Mr. Logan wrote It!" retorted Idleman. "Why, in God's name, all thl haste?" demanded Logan, vehemently. "Is the party going to the dogs before we can proceed in an orderly manner? Why not adjourn for a few days? "Cut and Dried." 'This committee on constitution and by-laws Is cut and dried. You are get ting back to the damnable old prac tices we always have had. Back to the old assembly methods." H. Daniels quickly denied that he had ever seen any constitution. "I have an outline of a constitution," admitted Idleman. "but not one word did I write myself." Cries from many parts of the hall: "Who wrote it?" "1 have more confidence In all of you than I have In John Logan singly." retorted Idleman, ignoring the ques tion of who wrote the constitution. "You cannot stuff down the necks of the Republican party things they do not want." C. B. Moores, another member of the committee, added his protest. "How in the world can we ram any thing down this convention of Repub licans against their wish?" he asked. "I decline to serve on the committee and name Mr. Logan for my place." "Mr. Logan declines, as it takes more than IB minutes to draft a con stitution," replied Logan, amid yells of "sit down." Motion for Xecess Carries. The motion for a recess carried, and when Senator R, R. Butler of Hood River was Invited to speak he said th meeting reminded him of a passage of Scripture, which, he said, was aome thlng like this: 'Behold, how good and how pleasant It Is for brethern to dwell together in unity." The constitution, as adopted, pro vides that no holder of public office shall be eligible to hold office in the club; that a majority vote is necessary to elect off leers; that the officers shall include a president, three vice presi dents, secretary and assistant; treas urer, and executive committee of nine members1, .dues, 1, women free. Addresses were made by Mr. Johns, Mr. Moores, Mr. Brown, Mr. Logan and Senator Butler. Chairman Johns ' Introduced Mr. Brown as the state chairman of th Progressive party, and Mr. Brown, when he spoke, said he was not chair man, but was a former chairman. He was chairman of the party thrl year ago. He raid he was not speaking In behalf of the Progressives, but merely as an Individual. He said he hoped the contests with in (he Republican party would be open and above board, and then he vi will ing to let the majority rule. The next meeting Is to be held at the call of the chairman. CLUB WILL RIDE OUT PRESENT STORM, IS LOCKWOOD'S BELIEF Not by a long shot is the new Ore gon club going to put Charles E. Lock wood's Republican club out of busi ness, announced Mr. Lock wood himself today. Last night he said, an enthusiastic meeting of the board of governors of his Republican club met in the Dekum building, unanimously adopted a dec laration of principles, and invited all voters who favor a return to Repub lican prosperity'" to Join by sending tfaeir names toclub headquarters. Lockwood said he wanted it under stood he had nothing to do with the organization of the new club. Joseph Wellington Dies. Independence, Or., Jan. 21. Joseph Wellington, a resident of 12 years, died Tuesday. Mr. Wellington was born In Cornwall, Eng., In 1842, and came to Canada with his parents when but 9 years of age. He was a successful farmer. He .was a member oj the Mothodist Eprscopal church and Mac cabees. Only One "BXOMO QUIA LB XT' To get tbe genuine, call for fall Dimt, LAXA TIVE BROMO QUININE. Vook for 1(tntnre of E. W . GROVE. Ceres Cold to One Ij 2S-. Portland apparently has. or had, two Chin Louies. Thereby hangs the tale of the loss of J2060 by one M. O. Mon trezza. A Jury last night, in Circuit Judge Gantenbeln's court, was unable to unravel the tangled skein that en meshes the estate and affairs of the late Chin Louie. As a result. It was decided that Montrrzza had no claim to the money left to Louie's heirs. Attorneys puzzled all day yesterday over the "ways that were dark and tricks that were queer" in the trans action by which some Chin Louie bor rowed $2050 from Montrezza. The borrower gave a note for the. amount and a lien on deportt In the Hongkong ie Shanghai Banking corporation to Montrezza as security. Evidently the Chin Ixule who signed this note and gave the Hen was not the same Chi nese who died a few months later. The loan was made on February 27, 1915, and records were brought to court yesterday to show that Chin Louie was in the hospital on that date. Some Chin Louie, however, signed the notes. Tbe suit came to the circuit court on appeal from a decision in favor of the plaintiff rendered in County Judge Cleeton's court. This decision is reversed. IDENTIFICATION ATTEMPTED Mystery Regarding Real Name of Highwayman Is Unsolved. Another effort to identify "John Doe," the highwayman who was wounded when attempting to hold up Multnomah station December 21, failed this morning. Eleanor Mots of 966 Vernon avenue called at the county Jail and said the picture of John Doe, printed last night in The Journal, closely resembled her son, Frederick Theodore Lldberg, who disappeared from his home in Portland 14 years ago. Lldberg was 22 years old at the time he disappeared. The man In cus tody is not Lldberg. LIQUOR x RULING IS MADE Railroads Can't Turn Consignments Over to Transfer Companies. Consignments of liquor, sent in care of delivery companies of Portland, roust be delivered by railroad com panies, under an order Issued by Cir cuit Judge Kavanaugh today. The same order from the court directs the Southern Pacific company to show cause on January 26 why such deliver ies should not be made. The decision was the result of the refusal of the Southern Pacific to deliver to the R. Wllhelm Transfer company a shipment of beer consigned to R. P. Ryan through the transfer people.
