Roosevelt quoted Lowell's line: "Peace won't keep house with fear," adding: .: . "The .war to get peace is pot by being so prepared as to invite war, still less by 'using words which are not . translated deeds, but behaving with scrupulous Justice and courtesy toward other nations and at the same time - being so prepared both in soul and in body, both spiritually and materially aa to make it evident that insult to our nation by any other nation will : not be tolerated by our people."

FISHERIES AGREEMENT Senate Judiciary Committee to Report Hadley Bill Sans Recommendation, Report, Washington, May 17. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) It is understood that the senate Judi ciary committee will report without recommendation the Hadley bill to rat ify the Joint fisheries agreement be tween the states of Oregon and Wash ington. Senators Overman, Walsh and Borah, constituting a sub-committee of the Judiciary committee, have heard the views of Senators Chamberlain and Lane, the former favoring and the lat ter opposing the compact, and in view of the disagreement between the Ore gon senators will throw the matter on the floor of the senate for final de termination. Xiane Drafts Amendment. Senator Lane has drafted an amend- i ment which he Intends to offer in the I senate, which provides that if within I one year the people of Oregon or the people of Washington, through the in ltlative or referendum, vote to change the existing law, the ratification shall be void. "Let the people of Oregon or the people of Washington change the ex isting law if they wish," says Senator Lane. "Things have been going on as they are for a long time, and it will not be long until November. The people should be allowed to say, and that is all I am contending for. Vopnlar Tote Zs Wanted. "I am not making a fight for the , upper river fishermen or the lower I river fishermen. I want the- Interests 1 of the people who eat fish considered. ! I do not want the supply of fish de 1 pleted and destroyed. I can go before i the people of Oregon and show them what this means, and win out on it. I shall insist at least that they shall not be denied the right to vote on it when the matter is before them." U. S. ENGINEERS WOULD DEFER WORK ON JETTY AT COQUILLFS MOUTH Washington, May 27.

This work has been done, and. as the sea has also torn gaps In the outer end of the Jetty, the Bandon people wanted the rest of the money used to restore that part of the work. Lieutenant Col onel Potter, diviaion engineer at Port land, was called on for report, and he ave his conclusions at length. Oolonel rotter Questions regality. He saya the expenditure of the rest of tha appropriation for the purpose desired would be of doubtful legality, since the project is already completed and the depth provided for has been attained; that as shallow water exists where a greater depth should be found well inside the ends of the standing Jetty, it cannot be expected that the controlling depth would be increased, and that surveys under way to tell how greater depth can be secured should be completed before additional money is spent, even though the Port of Ban don is willing to put up half the ex pense of repairing the Jetty. G. 0. P. TOSSED IN WILD SEA OF DISSENSION (Continued From Pae One) stronger than the party that brought it forward. The bill is comparatively simple. I authorizes the issue of $50,000,000 in Panama bonds for purchasing, char tering or leasing of ships by the gov ernment. A federal shipping board will have control and regulate rates and service. The government will lease or sell to private interests, or will Itself operate, but the operation of ships it is unable to lease is limited to a period of five years after the close of the European war. MoHarg Shifts Again. Ormsby McHarg, a wandering comet of politics who is always prodigiously busy Just before the national conven tions, has produced an anti-climax by closing up his "business man for pres ident" headquarters in New York. Last reports did not have him relocated. McHarg a few weeks ago gave out breesy interviews to the effect that the fight at the convention will be Roosevelt against the field. At that time he seemed to have no great ad miration for the field. Later he ap peared as a moving spirit of an or ganization that spent considerable money advertising the need of a busi ness man as a candidate. The busi ness man in mind was not always named, but it was understood to mean T. Coleman du Pont of Delaware. Now it is an open guess as to where McHarg will next appear, for whom, and for how long. His political af fections seem to shift easily, afid whether engaged in lobbying for tBe election of a standpat senator in Ore gon or gum shoeing through the south on the trail of negro delegates he is ever mysterious. Quandary Over Bushes Continues. Huphes boosters in Washington put the Oregon primary to good use. They argued that the large majority in dicated by early returns is sufficient proof of the claim that Hughes -i the man to center upon. Here was the one state where the name of the Justice went oh the ballot, and the returns left little to be desired. Oregon has undoubtedly given the Hughes men a rood talking point, for the essence of Hughes' strength is the Jongin of Republicans to win. with someone, somehow.- It is not that Hugheflstand8 for any partlcu lar thing, but the fact that his atti tuda except In a most v&arue way is unknown, that gives the hope of win nlng. . It Is also worrylgg some of the positive spirits Of the party, who are wondering what the effect wUl be if he really is nominated and the campaign then discloses that he la not what they thought - Tinman attin "rigorous.

Senator Kenyon of Iowa has taken the place of former Senator Burton as the chief excoriator of the rivers and harbors bill. He made a speech lasting parts of live day, during which 10 or a dozen senators listened to what ' he' had to say, and the others occupied j themselves elsewhere. rail Would Clean Oat Mexico. "Senator Fall of New Mexico, the; most ardent critic of the administra tion's Mexican policy, would, if he had his way, send half a million men into Mexico to police the country. "Order could be restored in six months," he says, "and the govern ment then turned over to a constituted Mexican government that would 00 powerful and strong handed enough to maintain peace. In that time the ban dits could be cleaned out, and then we coulJ withdraw, as we dld from Cuba. "It la true that I have some inter ests in Mexico, but they are not large. They are Just the odds, and ends that I was unable to sell, prior to the time the revolutions began four years ago. I care nothing for the inslnuationa that are made that what interests I have in Mexico Influence my attitude." Senator Fall is a delegate to the Chicago convention and wants Roose velt nominated. 7orest Lands BUI Keported. From the committee on public lands Senator Smoot has reported a bill authorising the consolidation of na- ! tional forest lands by the exchange or. privately owned lands within the re serves for government land outside. On the suggestion of Secretary Lane, the bill was amended to provide that th lands accented in exchange shall be approximately equal in area anu 1 value, shall be In the same state, ana shall be surveyed, non-mineral, non saline, unoccupied and vacant. In this form it is approved by the Interior and agricultral departments. A measure on the same lines de signed to extinguish private holdings In Glacier national park has also been reported from the senate committee on public lands. This authorizes an ex change of matured timDer irom pans, of the park or the exchange of lands from the national forests in Montana. CHAMBERLAIN. URGES APPROPRIATION FOR DEVELOPING WELLS Washington, May 27. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) Senator Chamberlain is preparing to urge an amendment to the sundry civil bill to provide $200,000 for developing artesian wells and investigation of underground water supply In the semi arid regions of central and eastern Oregon. He offered a similar amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill, but aa the subject matter is carried in the sundry civil, bis effort will be ai rected toward the latter bill, which, aa presented to the house, carries la0,- nno -for axnerunental worn on xneeo lines, to be extended by the geologi- cal survey, Senator Myers has reported from the senate committee on public lands a bill introduced by him setting aside 150,000 for sinking artesian wells in northern Montana. Under the plan of this bill the interior department is authorized to equip successful wells, apply the water to irrigation and es tablish a charge for the water, the revenue to create a revolving fund for continuation of the work. Secretary Lane has approved the general features of this plan. It is his idea that after a government well has demonstrated the existence of a supply for Irrigation, other wells in the same artesian basin will be de veloped by aettlers on their own lands. Bandon Wants Naval Vessel. Washington, May 17. (WASHING TON BUREAU OP THE JOURNAL) Senator Lane, at the request of offi cials of Bandon.

Republican ndidates trained field guns on ttreGrand Old Party tcnight and fired a few preliminary rounds of publicity shrapnel at the Colieeum. where th battle will begin in earnest on June 7. Of the 13 candidates whom Chair man Hilles of the Republican national committee uaid tonight were apparent ly In the race, all had their guns trained nut two Justice Charles B. Hughes and Henry Ford. If Hughes had any field pieces' at work they were equipped with Maxim silencer, and Henry Ford, a pacificist, Is against artillery. Free-ror-AU Battle Yet. Chairman Hilles says to date it is a free-for-all battle. What alliances would take pUce, he said, were In the far distant future next week. Tonight there was one outstanding fact in the preliminary battle arrange ments: Theodore Roosevelt has the most guns at work. To the battery eet up weeks ago by the Roosevelt Non Partisan league, the Roosevelt Republican association added a few more field pieces tonight, opening up headquarters for the colonel as an actual candidate on the Republican ticket. Rcosevelt guns were at work too from the Progressive camp. Whether this camp would prove an ally or an enemy was puzzling the Republicans. Colonel's Scouts Arrive. Herbert L. Satterlee, former assist ant secretary of the navy, and Law rence GrahanTT formerly in the Porto lucan eervtice, formed the advance guard of the Roosevelt Republican association. They took up quarters at the Congress hotel, where most of the candidates had already pitched tents.

Henry W. Eastbrook has : closed his headquarters here and is be lieved to have withdrawn. Senator Borah of Idaho may be added to the list. To dominate on Third Bay. Hilles told the United Press tonight there is absolutely no truth in reports that plans have been made to "railroad a nomination through the first day of the convention." 'I'll cross my heart," he said, "and say that there Is nothing to that at all. The nominations will come on the third day under present plans." Hilles, though declining to comment on any individual candidate, said, however, that the opening of head quarters here today for Governor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania Indicated a split in the Pennsylvania delegation. He said that contests pending before j the contest committee, which will be- Kill KUU J UJIO X, UV involve There several Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. are personal fights in the states, he said.
