Washington, Jan. 12. --The extent to which the women vote will count In the coming presidential election provided the constitutional suf frage amendment Is ratified in time, may be seen in the fact that there are approximately 28,000.000 women of voting age in the United States.

Representative Bean Introduces Bill for investigation of Grave Charges. State House, Salem. Jan. 12. The house plunged into the fish and game fight right off the bat when Bean introduced a resolution pro viding for a full investigation of the fish and game commission and its affairs by a joint committee to con sist of two senators and three rep resentatives, to report to the pra- nt session of the legislature, if pos sible. Bean contended that there had been grave charges made against -the com mission and its work, and that correct ive legislation was about to be intro duced and considered. It would be proper, he argued, to have the Informa tion that such a probe would give tn order to permit the legislature to pass on the controversy with intelligence. Smith of Baker contended that the committee would not be able to finish its investigation and the whole tangle would go over until the next .session. He thought that the "whole mesj" ought to be cleaned up now and the bands of the governor be not tied.

Fish and game propagation ere ates a resource worth millions of dollars to the state, according to an unusual series of telegrams just re ceived by the Portland Chamber of Commerce.

Tourists leave $3,000,000 a year in Wis consin ; 5000 non-resident anglers' licenses are issued yearly, according to the Wisconsin conservation commission. The telegraphic claim of the San Fran cisco Chamber of Commerce Is that 145, 000 tourists and sportsmen visiting the Bay City In 1919 spent $11,600,000. Denver's tourist bureau last year an swered 94,290 Inquiries over the counter;, tourist money aggregated $20,000,000.

The telegrams are offered by the Port land Chamber of Commerce as Irrefut able argument of the profits to be had from highway arid tourist hotel invest ment and fish and game propagation. 50,000 Threaten Strike Montreal, Que..

In a report returned at noon today. - Those .indicted are James Laundy. Joseph Orman. Carl W. ,;. Ovter, Mike Stojuva, Claude. Hurst and Fred W Frye. Laundy is out on $1000 ball kwalting .trial under an Indictment charging htm with being a member of the L W. W;' and a criminal agitator. He Is said to be one of the leaders , of the radicals in thfe Northwest. Oster is said to be the secretary of the local branch of the order, and an official or ganizer for the state. All those Under present Indictment be long to what la known as the English speaking branch of the communist labor party. Four of these chargt-d with be ing members of this branch were re- leased. 1 The grand Jury Is at work Investigat ing 17 alleged members of -he German branch of the organisation, and 19 mem bers of the Lithuanian branch. All alien members of these orders win be turned over to the federal authorities and will probably be deported. In investigating th6 alleged Reds, the grand Jury flfst entered Into the mat ter of the party itself. The communist labor party, according; to the status tn which they are held by . the federal officials, is an organization advocating and teaching the bverthrov by force and violence .of the government of the United States, and members thereof be lieve in and advocate and teach such revolution. After determining thtt the party waa directly In violation of the criminal syndicalism act, the grand jury Indicted such men as were proved to be members of .the party.

He was given the maximum sentence of six months in jail and a fine of $500 by Judge Rossman. The two trials of Mlelke have created much Interest because of their similarity to the famous Sorensen case. Both Sor enaen and Mlelke were given the maxi mum sentences for violation of traffic ordinances on the same day. Sorensen never went to jail, as he put up bail, ap pealed bJe- case, and flnajly threw .(him self on the mercy of six circuit court Judges sitting en banc, when he pleaded guilty. By a vote of a majority of the judges, the wealthy timberman was pa roled from the jail sentence, the $500 fine remaining Intact. Mlelke, who Is a comparatively poor man, went to Jail following his convic tion by the municipal court in Novem ber, and has remained there since that time. During the conduct of his trial on the charge of manslaughter, many overt references and parallels were drawn to the Sorensen' case by his attorney, Tom Garland.
