IS HARD TO UNRAVE
.
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,"

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

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.
Evanoff Taken North.
Sheriff Shattuck of Kitsap county,
Washington, arrived in Portland yes
terday afternoon to take "Nick" Evan
off back to Port Orchard. . Evanoff
was arrested Wednesday by Deputy
Sheriff Ward after attempting to
! pass a worthless check on the Lum-
bermena National bank. The prisoner
has served two terms in Washington
for bad check operations. He passed
several "queer" pieces of paper v In
