Is Brought Up in Committee of the Whole. Charges of Attempted Bribery Made; Anti-Patent Bill Passed by House Without Any Debate. ' By Ralph Watson SALEM, Feb. 18. Hell broke loose In the house this morn ing when the road .bond bill came , up "for consideration in the com mittee of the whole." . ' Charges of attempted bribery, said to have been made by the Warren Construction company to a member -of the house; hot words and attempted fights, mcm , bera. milling about with waving arms and . faces flushed or whitened by passion, struggle and turmoil marked the session which was only ended temporarily by . a long belated - recess for lunch eon. ' Schuebel started the fireworks, following a heated 6peech by " Bean, who was arguing over an amendment offered by Re"presenta- tive Gore, to which an amend ment has been offered by Schue bel. - ' Old Fight Is Renewed It waa! in fact the same flgjit that raged In the senate for two days put in . other words and injected Into section fourteen of the ten million bonding: bill. i Schuebel bad offered an amendment 'providing that no bids ooiild be called for by the ? highway commission In which patented pavement were ' to be 'considered unless specifications first - .called for by the commission embodied a ' 'lltiJip4thted, pavement. "."- . ' -f- - i. Bean charged that the. purpose of the amendment was to tie the hands of the . commission and . that it would result in the uniform selection of cheap pave- men U., and the elimination Sot patented - pavementi from all -consideration.-- He said that '.there was no such- thing as ' -. pavements of equal durability and re sistance ? to- wear; and illustrated his point by saying that there were cotton blankets and woolen blankets and that one was' not as good as the other. Scheubel came back at Bean. , Attacks Coaitraetlea Conpaay I want to say to Mr. Bean," Schue bel said, "that a whilte wool blanket Is . a good deal better than a blanket tarred with bitullthlc. The peojJle had just as well get that In mind and know just what kind of a deal the "Warren Con ' Btruction company Is trying to put over here." , v At this point Bean rushed down the - aisle white faced with rage. "Are you referring to me?" he, said. "I want to know if you are referring to me." Sam Hughes and others rushed be- tween Bean and ' Schuebel and pinned his arms down and held 'the two men apart, while Schuebel, never missing a note, took off bis glasses. "Don't start anything with me," he ' said, turning back to his statement. "I have been told by an eminent man." he said "of the wine.' the women and. the song that has been maintained by the Warren Construction company at the Marion hotel. I was told of how, tn one of their drunken orgies, they dropped a fire hose over the balustrades and' nearly killed a man. Charges Attempt at Bribery I have been told '"of how, during this session, one of the members of the house had been offered money to vote upon this bill and had been told that all he had to do was to sit still and vote." Bedlam broke loose at -this point, the ' members swarming down 1 the aisle, shouting, "Name the man ; tell how It is., put up or shut up !" Smith of Multnomah arose and said : "I can settle that point. J was the man." . " Schuebel then continued his speech. t ; "That system, he continued, "that ( ' same dirty, stinking system, has perme ated this house and this state. ; I do not want to intimate that the men of this - house have been approached or that they have been influenced by or offered .money.i ,v- "1 want a dollar's worth' of pavement , for a dollar.

S.; Short Term Notes Take Place Agreement Reached by House ; Committee and Secretary of Treasury as Procedure. Washington, Feb. 18. I. N. S.) There will be no fifth Liberty loan or Victory loan, as it 'was to have been termed under an agreement tentatively reached this afternoon by the house ways and means committee, in confer ence with Secretary ' of the Treasury Glass. Instead a series of . short term notes will be issued, and upon these con gress will set the rate of Interest. Under the existing Liberty loan leg islation the secretary of the treasury could aatiorise a $5, 000.000,000 loan, but the interest rate would have to be the same as that carried by the fourth loan, it was stated. The rate 1 per cent under the conditions that would prevail at the time the loan was to have been floated. : would be insufficient. In the opinion-of members' of the committee and representatives of the treasury de partment. It was deemed best, under the circum stances, to meet the nation's obligations by a series of short term notes, and a tentative agreement to this effect was reached. A substitute measure already in beiagr worked out by the committee to provide for the floating of these notes, and it wiH be introduced,, it was stated, probably in the very near future. The repeal of the authorization of 'a $5,000. 000,000 bond issued in the existing legis lation will be enacted. 1 E Battalion of Forestry Men Slips Into City -Unheralded, but Gets Short Reception. , With almost no advance information the 12th battalion of the 20tK engineers, forestry, arrived at Union station this morning at "11 :45 and were greeted only . by a few , relatives and friends whom ; they themselves 1 bad i notified.

The first headquarters of our outfit was at Nevers. France. Later we moved to the coast in -old Brittany, to a little town called Oray. It was a nice little place and that was sure a beautiful country. Refines, which was . also near where we were, was a fine place." fWe got well fed up on the way across the country," was J. O. Hardman's opinion of the trip. He is from Baker, Or. "I guess I must have gained 10 pounds coming across.- and I'll bet there isn't a man that's gained less than five pounds. The people have been fine." "All or Ue American soldiers are great," replied Captain R. R. Arkeley. in command of the train, in answer to a question about his men.

Schoot of Marsh field, who was commissioned in France, was on the train and rather lonesome for lack of friends but he was' glad to get back in this "part of the country and will rush home as soon as possible. George Lewis and B. W. Tarpley, both of Salem, were on the train and very happy to .be In Portland. They said the unit sailed from Brest on Jan uary 28 on the battleship North Caro lina.
