A good tip. , Cut extravagances, buy cheap government securities. -By David Lawrnw Covri(ht. lftO.) Waf.hington, April 20. Economic conditlunti in the United States, In cluding the "whole range of factors from "the high' cost of living tp the unrest livjhe ranks of labor and the tremendous financial burdens left by, the waf, are showing a distinct ten dency toward improvement. They are not changing rapidly, but such changes as have been noted are for the better. This In KUbBlaiire id the 'underlying thought of the responses that have been given tho writer In the inquiry just .completed among officials of different branches of the government an to the business outlook Jn the United States. BESULTH OF WAR The railway strike served to crystallize opinion. There seems unanimous agree ment that while mischievous parties have taken advantage of labor troubles to project their own ambitions and doc trines, tho outlaw strike was but an other manifestation of the economic troubles brought by the war. Searching beneath the surface, con servative and thoughtful men in the government find that what alls America In all ills that follow in the vake of '. ar. .nl where political prom ise and partisan -lefense is not Involved, but the viewpoint Is broad, there Is an admission that time alone can bring relief. An important readjustment can fee expected. As one member of the cabinet expressed it, the price of human liberty was worth paying and she Is now suffering the pain and feeling the effects of her sacrifices in the war. SviLSOIf MAT tTSK VETO Both in congress and In the execu tive branch of the government there is a recognition of and respect for facts. Congress Is wrestling with heavy gov ernmental expenditures, some of them from the war and some of them too delicate to be cut out because of the fears of political disaster that may at tend the party that performs the sur gical operation. All sides seem to he agreed that the UnlteJ States is carrying a heavy, bur den of financial credits and that to strain the load with a bonus to the ex service men would be to Impose a weight that might bring a crash In the status of our credits, but, on the other hand, the votes of the soldiers cannot be ig nored by many members of congress. , Therefore, the; treasury department is , watching almost with bated breath to see what congress will do. And It goes without saying that President Wilson himself will probably veto the measure. If congress doesn't see fit to kill it BOTH SIDES WORRIED For of one thing the 'vpublic may rest assured, the financial situation of the United States has given folks at the executive end of the avenue, in Wash ington, many days of worry and sleep less nights. If the truth be known, the Republican ' lenders of congress and the Democratic members of the executive departments have been working more closely in har mony on thl phase of government than anything else, this political year. They can't help It. Neither side wants the responsibility for the prolongation of ((Concluded on Vng Two, Column Three) 4 Salem, April 20. Upholding the right of the state legislature to adopt reasonable classification of streams for the. protection of the fishing in dustry and drawing a hair line dis tinction between local legislation and legislation which, though appar ently of a local nature, is not to be so classed, the supreme court today. In an opinion written by Chief Jus tice McBride, affirms the decision Of Judge George R. Bagley of the Tillamook county court in the case of the state vs. Vern Blanchard. The opinion is regarded as upholding the entire fish and game code of the state and Is said to establish the right of the state legislature to enact legisla tion for the protection of fish in any . stream In any county in the state or birds In any tree if so minded. . Blanchard was found guilty In Judge Bagley's court for a violation of the state law prohibiting the use of set iets extending for more than one third Of the distance across Hoquarton slough, a tributary of Tillamook bay. He ap pealed to the supreme court on the ground that the act under which he was convicted "is void and unconstitutional (n that It Is local and special, applying to only a limited number of streams and arms of the sea." ; "To hold that a law providing a classification thus based is a local law would be to destroy our whole system enacted for the protection of migrat ing fish," Chief Justice McBride de clares in upholding the constitutional ity of the' act and the right, of the leg islature to enact legislation applicable to certain specified streams only, in order to protect the fishing industry in , this state. i" ' Old Books at Reed .

RIGHT TO CONTROL FISHING IS UPHELD JOHNSONVOTE PREDICTED 10 Unusual Percentage of German and Other Anti-War Elements Held to Be Against Wood and Pershing in Today's Primaries. Lincoln. Neb., April 20. (U. P.) Clear skies today greeted the voters in most : ect ons of the state, but im passable roads in some districts will interfere with the rural vote. A very favorable registration had been reported from all parts of the state. The polls opened at 8 a. m.,-and will close at 8 p. m. Washington, April 20. ( WASH INGTON BUREAU OF' THE JOUR NAL) The Nebraska primaries come today and the best opinion here is that the vote of the state will register these presidential prefer ences: Republican, Senator Hiram W. John son. Democratic, Senator Gilbert M. Hitch cock. The probability that the Republican vote will jfo to Johnson Is based on sev eral considerations. The backbone of his Bupport is the same as elsewhere, the elements which opposed the waf1 and war measures, plus the radical strength and the left-over sentiment of the Roose velt movement which his friends attach to him. Nebraska is largely aft agricultural state, but on Its farms is an unusual proportion of population of German. Russian and Scandinavian parentage. It Is the home state of Senator George W. Norris, who voted against war and was highly critical of war measures, and was able to "get away with it." He was reelected in 1918. while the war was on. (Concluded ca r Ten, Column Three) MEXICAN VOLCANO SPOUTING FLAMES Mexico City, April 19. (I. N. S.) (Delayed) A severe earthquake shock was felt here at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Telegrams from Orizaba and Jalapa stated shocks were felt in those towns and elsewhere in the state of Vera Crus simultaneously. Residents of this city were greatly alarmed and reports became current the volcano Popocatepetl had become active. Smoke and flames had been pouring from the crater of the volcano in increasing volume during the last few days. It was feared the earthquake had caused serious damage and perhaps great loss of life in the same district of Vera Cruz that was visited several months ago, but it was impossible to get definite and detailed information because of the interruption of telegraphic com munication. Private J. J. Egan Asleep for 61 Days San Francisco, April 20. (I. N. S.) Victim of a mysterious malady. Private John J. Egan, Company F, Twenty-seventh infantry, entered on his sixty first day of sleep at Letterman hospital. Egan fell a victim to the sleeping sick ness in Siberia and was brought to this country.

Former Premier Clemenceau. who has been on a vacation trip in Egypt, arrived at Mar seilles on his way home to Paris. He was welcomed at Marseilles by a com mittee of city officials. WINN BRASKA Ruse of Brothers Is Foiled Resemblance Is Used as Tool With the aid of a brother who is said to be almost the double of the prisoner in appearance, W. D. Ly ons, 27 years old and marrie4, made an unsuccessful attempt to escape from the detention box of the mu nicipal court at noon today. Lyons is held on a charge of passing checks without sufficient funds, and of driving an unlicensed automobile. His brother, M. D. Lyons, was arrested on a charge of aiding and abetting a pris oner to eecape. The brother had gone into the prison er's box to see the defendant in regard to his bail. It is said: A few minutes later, while Bailiff Carr was In the courtroom. W. D. Lyons walked from the detention box into the courtroom and ' then out ' the - door.; "Patrolmen Ferry and Abbott were at the door, and knowing' that Lyons bad not furnished ball, seised , him. Hearings on all of the charges will occur Thursday morning. Another episode , of .the excitement Ghost of Winter Returns to Nip Peach Bloom, But It Is Too Wise The ghost of Old Man Winter, who was supposed to be gathered to his fathers a mojjth ago, stole back on Portland Monday night and again for a few minutes Tuesday morning, hoping to catch unawares the foolish peach bud. But said peach bud and most of his kind are still sleeping, and the few snowflakes that accompanied the cold rainfall did little harm. Those living in ' the higher places experienced the novel sensation of seeing snow on April 20. the big flakes coming down for 10 minutes or more. There were also a few snow flurries between 11 and 12 o'clock Monday night. The latest snow of which the weather bureau has any record for Portland fell April 23, 1904. so today's demon stration was hardly a record. Snow flurries are recorded for that day as they were this morning. During the sudden downpour at noon Monday the temperature suddenly dropped from 52 degrees above to 44. At 8 o'clock this morning, when it was snowing, the temperature was 36 above, but an hour later it stood at 40. Edward L. Wells, district meteor ologist for the weather bureau, has just returned from an inspection trip up the Willamette valley and to the California line. He visited rain sta tions. Although the rainfall for the year Is still 6.41 inches below normal, the late snows have established good water reserves in the mountains, ind danger of a shortage tor irrigation projects seems past. Chinook salmon have started their annual run up the Willamette river in numbers that promise, to rival all up-river migration of salmon for several years. This information was received Monday afternoon at - the beadq-jartera of the state fish and game commission from several of the depqty game wardens who have beeir grrarriing-aim illegal lsb tn the headwaters of the rivers. Each year the salmon move- up tbe Cumbia and into its vinous tributaries in vast schools seeking spawning grounds in the headwaters of the rivers. Earlier this year the salmon had been reported in unusually large schools in the Columbia and from-time to time a few scouts of the big run have been noticed attempting to leap over the falls at Oregon City. Because of high and muddy water in the Willamette lor the last few weeks the upward migration has been concealed to a large extent, but during the week end deputy game wardens caught several illegal drift ret fishermen with large catches which indicated the extent of the run this year. Saturday night T. J. Craig and several other wardens caught a drift net fisher man just as he was releasing his net and before the meshes could be pulled aboard the patrol boat over 300 pounds of salmon had become ensnared. Another man was found hauling in a net with about 600 pounds of salmon caught in its meshes. The high water will prevent much angling for the big pink-meated fish, but game authorities claim this will be a good thing for salmon propagation, as more fish will get to the upper waters to spawn. Commercial or net fishing for salmon does not open in the Willamette until May 1. Senate Passes Bill Providing for Army Of 280,000 Regulars Washington, April 20. (I. N. S. The senate late today passed the army reorganization bill providing for" a standing army of 280,000 men and 16, 993 officers.

She was taken to the emergency hospital. Her brother was with her. and they asked several times if M. D. Lyons had appeared. In the meantime he arrived at police headquarters, and was taken in to see the prisoner. The unsuccess ful attempt at Jail delivery was made soon afterward. Lyons was arrested at the Universal Car Exchange, Grand avenue and Stark street. He is accused of tendering a check for $180 in payment for an auto mobile.

This decision was arrived at by the strike leaders this morning. They claimed a victory over tho railroads and the brotherhoods, but said they would not fight the government in order to maintain the strike. "As long as we were fighting the lailroads and the brotherhoods we stood teady to sacrifice our all for our cause," said a member of the executive com mittee of the Yardmen's association, the strikers' .organization "But as every member of the Yardmen's association is a true-blooded American, we refuse to take a stand against our government."

IMMEDIATE IIEARIXG ON OUTLAW STRIKE IS ASKED Washington, April 20. (I. N. S.) Declaring that the railway strike situa tion constitutes a national emergency, W, E. Robinson of the Chicago Yard men's association and James Eubanks of the St. Louis Yardmen's association this afternoon filed "emergency" briefs with the railroad labor board asking an Immediate hearing for tho "outlaw" strikers. , The board adjourned until tomorrow without taking action on the requests for "emergency" hearings, which de clared that transportatjon is In serious difficulty and that conditions will not be bettered until steps are taken to ad just the wages of the "illegal" strik ers. Procuring an option on all lands included in the $10,000,000 Swan Island project, or assessment against property owners of benefits derived from dredged materials be ing dumped on their land, are means suggested by Commisioner Barbur to solve the problem of land acquisi tion that confronts the city council and the committee of 15 toward the carrying out of the project. Before the project is submitted to the people, Barbur believes the exact price which owners would be willing to accept for the land should be made public. Barbur favors the retention of the present personnel of the Port of Port land commission and the commission of public docks as the future consoli dated body. The law should be so framed, he says, that the present members should be retained In office. When their tenure of office has ex pired, Barbur believes the people should elect successors. Voters out side Multnomah county, yet included within the confines of the port, could easily hold their own election, in Bar bur's optnion, to vote on the consoli dated port commission. The second public hearing on the project is scheduled for 10 a. m. Mon day morning, April 26, in the coun cil chambers of the city hall. Mem-' bers of the industrial committee of fif teen are expected to place their views on land acquisition before the council.

Be Bygones, Assert Winfrees When They Wed Again 'For the sake of the babies," the Winfrees have made up. The babies are the ones for whom Mrs. Effie Winfree stole $6500 from the bank at Aurora while she was temporarily employed there to help get out the monthly statements of balances. She took the money so that her husband would come back to her. Now P. W. Winfree has done so. In the chambers of District Judge J. W. Bell Monday, afternoon, the ceremony was performed which upset the old-time divorce which had so stricken the young mother. MARRIED AT 14 Mrs. Winfree had first married Win free in Texas. She was then leas than 14 years old, she said. The children came. Her husband was much older than she. Their life was not prosperous nor was it happy. Then the divorce took her husband and babies. The father and children were living on a ranch near Bull Run when the de tectives arrested Mrs. Winfree for the theft of bank notes. He was seised, also, and took the officers to the ranch where he had hidden some $3000 in a fruit jar., Bit by bit, all the money was Kestored, save for a few dollars that ad been spent for luxuries that could not be realized upon. New clothes had been bought with some of the money nd elaborate plans for the restoration of their home had been laid, on the basis of this vast windfall. SEW CLOTHES 8EKT BACK So the new clothes were sent back to the store. The unspent money was re turned to the bank, with the other odds and ends of salvage from the big theft. Charges were dropped because the bank officials realized' the sorry romance and saw no reason for adding further to the young woman's burden of woe. Now it will be life all over again for the Winfrees, Judge Bell said. It will be reunion for mother and children and the father. The simple legal ceremony was witnessed by attaches of the court and Mrs. Winfree's mother. Winfree told the Judge after the new ceremony that he was willing Jo over look the things that he alleged in his divorce suit for the children's sake, realizing that the wife had Already paid dearly for hr fatuous chance in bringing about a , reconciliation.
