Does Not See Unfriendliness.
That nature set the date of the Rose
Festival, that it is an institution of
early June, and a Portland institution
which will be gladly taken over by Ta-
coma or Seattle, If Portland passes it
by, and that the railroads, hotels, ca
terers, theatres and other heavy con
tributors desire separate dates, were
other points urged in support of the
decision as made.
The Caterers' association, through
George F. Watson, presented a resolu

Deficit in 1916 Pond.
An unaudited report of the 1916 Rose
Festival was presented by O. C. Bortz

It showed a deficit of $4183.68. which

" 'And if we really, as the report
nlleges, considered the possibility of a
hostile act by the United States
against as, then we really had reasons
to do so.

" 'The same American stated that

that the Americans had not declared

would be during that time much more

After' holding the floor for more
than an hour. Senator Fail concluded
by pledging his support to the bill.
Senator Stone then got the floor, and
said:
"The president has kept us out of
war with Mexico; he has kept us out
of war in Europe.
I would rather trust hlra than the
horde of weaklings about him who
daily fly their kites to see which way
the wind is blowing." ' i
Stone declared he would rather trust
the president than the Jingoes who are
so prevalent in soma sections of the
country.
In congress," he added, "I am sorry
to say that the men who are clamor
ing for war are dominant."
Says President Pavors Peace.
He said be was opposed to involving
the United States in the great war
without ''infinitely more provocation
than we have had."
Stone said he believed the' president
is in sympathy with this view. "The
president wants peace," he said. "I
think he is honest about it. Congress
can put us into the war, but the pfti
dent can do more than all others to
keep us out of "war."
Referring to the Mexican situation,
Stone said that -Americans had been
ruthlessly killed ln Mexico and that
the president had been subject to
great pressure to force him to war
ur-ori Mexico.
"Instead of wanting to hurt Mexico,"
he said, "tbe president wants to help
Mexico." ,
- Before beginning his speech Stone
offered his amendment to both the
senate and house armed ship bills. The
Stone amendment would prevent Unit
ed States sailors from being assigned
to merchant vessels to operate guns
would refuse guns ships carrying
munitions, and supplies to belligerent
rations, and refuse convoys to such
ships.
Stone would Xdmlt Power.
"For four years." Stone said. "I've
worked by the sidi of the president
and enjoyed his friendship and esteem.
I've not always agreed with him. Such
men as we cannot always agree. But
I have followed him.
"If this question were one of but
faith and trust In him, I would not
hesitate. But I profoundly, regret I
cannot vote for this, even though the
president wishes it. It is our first
disagreement that we have been un
able to reconcile."
Stone then denounced the bestowal
of "such broad powers In the hands
of any president," at the same time
expressing confidence that the presi
dent would use them "as prudently
and Justly as any single man."
"I would not for a moment consider
voting such extraordinary powers into
the hands of any president, although (
would rather trust President Wlljon
than the i- whole united conclave of
jingoes in and out of congress."
Bill Would Authorize War.
The bill. Stone held, would authorize
the president to engage in actual war.
He would be made sole arbiter as to
what are American rights and as to
what "other instrumentalities'' he
should use. Stone said.
He could use American warships to
drive German submarines from the
seas. No doubt many feel this would
be the proper course.
"But, Mr -President, though It be
not a ' declaration of war it would be
the very essence of war. Congress
then would be powerless to act. They
would have abrogated and surrendered
in advance the exercise of their dis
cretion. "Then it would be too late. There
would be nothing else to do but go
in and fight it out."
"You are about to do a most
dangerous thing," said Stotje. "You
are about to Bhlft the responsibility
for war from the shoulders of con
gress to the shoulders of the chief
executive. If you want to go to war,
let us say so.".
"Could congress authorize the presi
dent to order United States naval ves
sels to seize armed German ships guil
ty of attacking our merchant ships?"
Sutherland interrupted.
"Yes," replied Stone, "but that would
be an act of war."
Sutherland attempted further to
question Stone, who objected, stating
that he "wanted to answer any and
all his own way and in his own time."

armed ships sinks an approaching
submarine, war will come."
Hitchcock States His Views
"There is far more safety in an un
flinching course now than in an tin

clared.
Senator Fall declared that it woull
be a public calamity for congress to

months, and held that the duty to pro
tect American, rights is manifestly
vested in trj executive branch.

Own Folk to CarQ for
Michigan Teachers
Michlgahders resident in Portland
are planning for a big splurge Monday
night at Cotillion hall to start orf the
campaign to reorganize the state so
cieties along constructive "booster"
lines. Officers are to be elected and
plans will be .laid for entertaining" the
Michigan delegates to the big teach
ers convention here in- July. Notices
are now being sent out to the Port
land members of the Michigan society.
The women .are asked to bring sand
wiches, and the men will act as wait
ers. About 500 names are enrolled on
the Michigan roster here, but efforts
will be made to get as many of the
estimated 15,000 ex-MIcttigan people
enrolled as possible. - It is the plan to
prepare a directory of these people, so
the visitors .may readily find any old
friends. ' '
(Continued From Pnga One.)
There is no question of -' how it was
planned and the object that was ex
pected to be attained in the opinion of
the United States government. And,
having acquainted the nations of th
world with the facts. ' this government
waits developments, no matter wha
they may be.
Convoys Would Ksan War.
The declaration by Senator Lodge
that for the United States to convoy
vessels carrying munitions through
the submarine zone would be an act
of war was confirmed by the state
department today. But it was stated.
today that the pending bill does
not of necessity mean that the United
States plans any convoy of any ships.
As a matter of fact it is considered
very unlikely that the president will
consider a naval convoy for American
ships at the present time. The offi
cials of the navy department are op
posed to any such action.
The men responsible for keeplnr the
navy in snare to meet any eventuality
nave poincea out tn&t to convoy ves
sels tnrougn tne German war zone
while there has been no open declara
tion of war against Germany would
esiaDiisn a precedent that German
sympathizers could take advantage ot
and request convoys for vesseU to
taKe freight of a non-contraband
character through the British blockade
zone to Germany's ports.
In addition, convovinar vennla un
lees by cruisers of fast tvrie. aimnlv
makes them more of a mark to sub
marine attack than if they were pre
pared to proceed alone with their de
fense guns ready for use.
"Aim to Sow Discord."
TOltio, March 3. (U. P.) That the
letter of German Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman was designed wholly to
create distrust of Japan in the United
States and to Mr up new trouble be
tween the United States and Mexico
was the view stressed by officials
nere today.
The belief was "stated that Germany
never expectea tne German-Japanese
Mexican" alliance, proposed in the let
ter Zimmerman wrote to the German
minister at Mexico City, to be a sue
cess. The sole aim of the move, offi
cials declare, was to sow the seeds of
discord amongst the entente allies in
the western hemisphere and ln the
orient.

worth of merchandise, alleged to have
been stolen from the Hlllsboro Mer

uncovered yesterday as the result of
a confession by Doehlers wife. The
merchandise was found ln Doehler's
house and outbuildings. Fifteen suits
of clothes were found. Many cases
of canned roods and many bolts oi
fine linen and silks, dozens of pairs
of shoes, many suits of underwear.
and articles of merchandise of all
kinds were in the loot-
Seven auto loads of the stolen
roods were hauled back to the store
Doehler. It is alleged, is the roan who
furnished the Ringie meat marKci
with butcher supplies, and it is
thousht that the goods stolen for sup
plying the butcher shop, and the mer
chandise found yesterday, will run up
in value close to zzouo.
Among the loot found at tbe Doeh
ler home were expensive Indian robes
and blankets. That the theft has been
carried on for eight or nine months
Is the belief.
Both Doehler and Rlngle are in Jail
in default of bonds, fixed at $2000 eav-h
by Judge Smith. It is understood that
both will plead guilty, and the hearing
will probably take place Monday.
