Rain, snow and slush arrived with the north wind during the late night hours Friday, and robins and meadow larks pushed into the wind from the south this morning. At early dawn the north wind was tri umphant. Over t the landscape was spread several inches of clinging snow. But as the sun swung up from the fog bound horizon the robins and the meadow lark Joined in a song of glee while the snow vanished under the warm caress of Old Sol. SONGSTERS DEFY 83TOW Portland was almost deserted by feath ered songsters for the first winter in many years. Many robins, bluebirds and meadow larks remained in the Wil lamette valley, but few stayed in this city. An organized migration of the birds seemed j to come in upon the city this morning. ! Everybody wanted to talk robins and early spring this morning. On the highjer sections of Portland the snowfall of Friday night was the heav iest of the winter. About four Inches of the snow lay pn the high ground. In the lower sections of the city the snow melt ed almost as it fell, making slush cov ered streets ii the downtown sections. weather Bureau surprised To the weather bureau the storm came as a surprise.

Twenty -four tons of gold marks were re ceived from Germany today to apply off Germany's war Indemnity to the allies. The gold was deposited in, the Bank of France, and credited to the reparation commission. 1 Birmingham, England, Feb. 5. U. P.) Germany must pay the war indemnity. She must disarm. There can be no positive assurance of permanent peace without disarm ament. These were the declarations of Premier Lloyd George in a speech here today. 1 advise Germany to accept the bill (155.000,000,000 in war reparations) and not allow herself to be misted by passion and repeat the folly of 1914," he said. GERMANY MUST FAY "I laid- down the principle that Ger many is bound to pay for the wanton damage she inflicted, but you can only get from a debtor, what he is capable of paying. Futhermore. Germ be allowed to pay in a way to do injury to the, country receiving payment ; for example, by exporting cheap goods." Lloyd George said that whiln rci-man bad made great progress toward dis armament sne must go on and complete the program outlined in the treaty.

"Germany must res- the first of which Is disarmament. ne added tha . Germany must abide by the treaty to insure the restoration of "nelghborliness" among nations. "Germany still has too many armed men and too much war material," the premier declared. "The allies have de cided that Germany must comply with the treaty of Versailles, especially as regards disarmament." "Foreign Minister von Simons has a right to present alternative proposals to the reparations plan, but if they represent a mere attempt at evasion the allies will not tolerate them." he said.., . .; . BURDEN NOT EXTRAVAGANT "The burden Imposed upon Germany is not extravagant. The payments for the first two years are not equal to the pension bills written in France. It is not a question of Imposing economic slavery upon the German workers, but somebody must pay. . "The prospect of Germany, tempo rarily bankrupt, presented a baffling difficulty when it came to paying out side her . frontiers. ; With these diffi culties in mind, the allies reached an agreement and. presented a bill framed to the scale of German prosperity. "If she is not prosperous she cannot pay. If she is prosperous she can and must,-- . . t i ' , "Once the German- people get their mind off . the war? and onto peace, they will soon prosperous again."

'As far-reaching in its importance to the people of Portland as the port consolidation bills, providing, as it does, In effect, a modification of the Zeigler amendment to the city charter of Portland,' the so-called "vacation bill" introduced in the house by Kubli of Multnomah has immediately taken its position as a center of interest at the capitol. f- It has , in fact an indirect connection with the port development program, having been introduced for the purpose of providing a method by which cer tain North ; Portland streets could be vacated t to make ay for the Guild's lake union terminal plan. TO RESTORE POWER jThe bill in its effect replaces in the hands of the city council the power by ordinance to grant franchises i or to vacate streets for the benefit of trans portation companies in the construction of terminals, within the 1000-foot strip along the harbor front covered and set apart as inalienable by the Zeigler amendment to the Portland charter. It also provides, that the council may, by ordinance and in accordance with pre scribed restrictions, trade streets now open for equivalent strips of land owned by the railroad company to be used as public streets when such trans fer would operate for the general bene fit of the public. TERMS OF MEASURE Section 1 of the bill says: "To the end that adequate facilities for terminal trackage, structures and the instru mentalities of commerce and transpor tation may be provided' in cities and towns located within or forming a part of any port district ... the common council ... may. upon application of any such port, or corporation em powered to Own or operate a railroad. steamship or other transportation termin al, or railroad company entering or oper ating within said city or town or owner of property abutting any such terminal, authorize any common carrier, railroad company, or terminal company to oc cupy, ' by any structure, trackage or machinery facilitating or, necessary to travel, f transportation or distribution, any street or public property, or parts thereof,' within such city upon such (Concluded on Paca Two.

Shortly after noon her1 fate was given into the hands of 12 men who retired at once to decide whether she is guilty of the murder of Jacob C.

Possibility of an early verdict was a matter of divided opinion and conjec ture. jln his closing argument District Attor ney Woolwine flayed Mrs. Peete and branded her as the "most redhanded murderess ever known In this country." He termed the defense "sloppy absurd ities" - and "spurious foolish, non sensical." Throughout the prosecutor's arraign ment, the comely defendant bad a faint, half. contemptuous smile on her lips. She showed no emotion. Her husband, Rich ard C. Peete, sat at her side, haggard and with blanched face, wincing at times when his wife was bitterly denounced. The case might have gone to the Jury last night, but the Jury preferred to be gin its deliberations ' today. This was regarded a9 signifying that the members expect a session of considerable dura tion. It was believed that if the Jurors thought only a few hours' deliberation were necessary, they would have at tempted to reach a verdict last night, sq that they might be discharged before the week-end.- .

MS "Regret I'm Not Able to See in Condition of World or Needs of U. S. Such Changes as Jus tify Reduction," Says Message. Washington. Feb. 5. (I. N. S.) President Wilson today vetoed a res olution passed by congress, reduc ing the strength of the United States army to 175,000 men. "I regret that I am not able to see In the condition of. the world at large or in the needs of the United States any such changes as would justify the restriction upon that minimum which Is proposed by the house joint resolution," the presi dent declared in his veto message. TEXT OF FULL MESSAGE The text of the president's veto mes sage was as follows: To the House of Representatives : I return herewith, without my ap proval, house joint resolution No. 440. directing the secretary of war to cease enlisting men in the regular army of the United States, except in cases of those men who have already served ojie or more : enlistments therein. ' The text of the joint resolution discloses that its purpose is to cause a discontinuance of enlistments in the regular army until the number of enlisted men shall not exceed 175,000. No provision Is made in the resolution for the preservation of any proportionate strength in the com batant corps of the army and a mere discontinuance of enlistments would, for a long time, preserve the staff corps disproportionately enlisted ' and the combatant corps insufflcientx ly manned to maintain the instruc tion and training which ought to be assumed If any army of 75,000 men is to be efficient in proportion to its aggregate number.

Rains lBeckon Smelt Back to Columbia; Salmon to Follow By Hymaa H. Cohen' The rains have brought the smelt back Into the Columbia river and liberal sup plies are again being caught in the CowliU, This caused a break in the wholesale price to 5 cents a pound during the day and resulted in the retailers putting their prices back to 10 cents for a single pound or three pounds for 25 cents. The reentrance of the smelt into the river, following the rains of the last day or so, is taken by fishing interests to mean that the salmon will follow up. Fishermen say that salmon can "smell" the rainy waters of the Columbia river for many miles at sea. Other fish are likewise becoming plentiful. Halibut is now arriving in large quantities for the first time in many weeks and the retail price is off cents a pound for the day Chickens are also lower In price, but cneese is up about 5 cents at retail.
