Heflln declared.! in replying to Curtis, that "it was very strange that the ad ministration is doing nothing to help keep Newberry in his seat when the president himself was entertaining New berry at box parties and at White House dinners.' U He alleged that administration spokes men had admitted that they were seek ing to have a . successor to Penrose ap pointed within 214! hours after the Pen rose burial so that they might be able to muster as many; votes aa possible to re tain his seat.' He also attacked New berry for his failure to appear in the senate or before the special senate com mittee appionted to investigate the cnarges tnat a '"slush fund was em ployed to secure dewberry's nomination In the Michigan primaries in 1918.

Dr. McElveen expressed his gratitude to all members of the church whose res olution last Thursday requested him to withdraw his resignation. I have been fully persuaded that it is for the best interest of the church an myself to remain as pastor of the First Congregational church of Portland, and I would earnestly urge all to cooperate with me in making this year's work the most successful in the history of the church," the pastor said. Members of the council approved the pastor's action. Following Dr. McEl veen's decision to remain plans were made for an aggressive campaign tor the new year.

Three major ac complishments on the path toward a cleanup and agreement on the limitation of naval armament program wereg Istered today in the arms conference. They were : 1 An agreement on the methods by which the 68 great dreadnoughts of the naval powers will be scrapped. 2 An agreement by the naval experts upon vital detaila of a replacement pro gram. 8 The French had instructions to ac cept In principle the Root resolution ban ning the use of submarines against mer chantmen. DETAILS OF FBOGBJLM The United Press learned from the highest sources 'the details of the ship scrapping program. Two main methods will be followed In junking the big sea fighters: 1 All of the- 68 capital ships to be scrapped under the agreement between the United States, Great Britain and Japan must be rendered incapable of warlike purposes within 16 months from the time the naval treaty goes into ef fect and must be entirely scrapped with in four years from that date. 2 The old ships to be replaced after they have been in service 20 years, un der the agreement are to be rendered incapable of warlike purposes within six months and are to be entirely scrapped within 18 months after the completion of the construction of replacement ton nage. The ships are to be scrapped by the various powers In whatever way they Honest Men Still Exist; Here's One Charles "W. Baker, who resides 1483 Mallory avenue, found at East Eighth- and Burnside streets a purse containing 8147.55. Not to be sneezed at $147.55. Even in these days of exorbitant prices one can buy ' a few articles for 1147.55. Lets see. what could Baker do with the money? Perhaps he could purchase for his wife, Bessie. a new coat, some silk stockings, and a hat and pair of shoes for himself.' Then ' there might have been enough left for a movie. He could get a set of new tires for the family auto. Or. how would it be to pay 8100 on the home payment installments. If his taste turned to beauty he might get a rather fair appearing diamond. Then, too, 8147.55 salted away would make nestegg. Oh, there are lots of things one can do with 8147.55. i But Baker, if he thought of any of them, put them out of mind. He went to the police station and gave the purse, money and all. to the attendant in the property room, who will attempt to find the owner. Police believe that he is F. B. Rlckerson, 5828 Forty-seventh street southeast. "Anyone who has 8147.55 this wlnte: needs it worse than I do probably,' said Baker.
