He asks that all committee chairmanships be revised And subject to election by members, ir ' respective of seniority or length of service.j but what he really hopes is that the entire leadership of the sen ate. Including that of Mr. Lodge of the Republican party, will be changed. ' Mr. McCormlck prefers evolution to revolution. In many a trying situa tion he pas endeavored to act as medi ator between the Western Republicans and thej Easterners. He anticipates re volt. To get a clear idea of what Mr. McCormlck is driving at one must go back to the campaign just closed. The Illinois -senator campaigned most : 'of the time5 in the West. He is not up for reelection until two years hence, but the Republican politics in his home state is in such shape that his election seems assured. Mr. McCormlck spent all of bis time: outside of Illinois in the neighboring ' state " . ,v .Although Smith W.

Mm VESSELSTO SAIL DAILY New Schedule to Be Effective Next March Predicted by General Manager, as Means of Handling Increased Freight Prediction that the McCormick Steamship line will maintain a daily schedule out of the Columbia river by next March, due to Increased activity in coastwise shipping, was made this morifing by Charles L. Wheeler of San Francisco, general manager of the Mc Cormick Steamship line, who spent the day in Portland and St. Helens on the affairs of the company. Increased business activity every where on the coast is responsible for a general increase in coastwise traffic, he declared. BUSINESS MQUNTISG In October 25 vessels in the McCor mick service mdyed out of Portland, and it Is expected that increased freight will warrant an Intensive sched ule to the extent that over 30 clear ances of McCormick steamers will be made monthly. Sixty-five steam schooners, consist- ins of seven McCormick vessels and the S. Freeman Co., W. R. Chamberlain Co.. Crawley & Mahxmey. Rolph Navi gation & Coal Co., and others, will en able the McCormick line to maintain the daily schedule. Wheeler said. When waterfront conditions are en tirely settled in Portland. Wheeler an ticipates a. jump in northbound traffic to this port. With lumber, grain and salmon moving southward, southbound tonnage on the McCormick line is ap proximately' double the northbound. STBIKC IS HANDICAP While grain and lumber movements are new somewhat slowed down. Wheeler believes the effects of the strike is felt more on inbound traffic, because, some shippers are wary of sending cargo into Portland with pres ent unsettled condition 3. Wheeler declared , the recent agree ment between the JCingaley Navigation Co. of British Columbia and the Mc Cormick Steamship Co., -effective No vembers 1, whereby one company eta as agent for the other In its respective territory, has been entirely satisfactory. Over 4000 tons of cargo have been1 moved into Canada' from California ports under; this agreement.

As a result of the testimony, which brought lawyers on both sides to their feet and created a tense situation 'In the courtroom for several minutes, a complete and thorough federal grand Jury investigation was promised by Allan Bynon, assistant United States attorney. This morning the jury returned a ver dict convicting Johnson of possession and transportation of liquor and ac quitting him of the sale charge. The Jury also recommended leniency on ac count of Johnson's family. Judge Bean fixed November Si as the time tor sentence. ' " Dr. R. Jepson of Fairview, Or., prin cipal government witness against Johnson, told the court that a man. who identified himself as being from the law office of Frank Lonergan, ap proached him .regarding the case and asked him to "lay off." Jepson said the defendant also approached him twice, and on one occasion attempted to get him to visit Lonergan's office. In response to questions put by the press Bynon admitted following the trial that he had "been hounded" by several white men. some of them quite prominent business men in the city, who requested him to be lenient with John son. Their plea was. according to By non, that Johnson was a dealer in good bonded whisky only, and that to put him in jail would cut off their supply. Bynon said he refused to consider the pleas.

Newberry. Re publican of Michigan, storm center of one of the biggest political sensations In recent years, has virtually decided to resign his seat rather than subject the Republican party to the embar rassment of his oertaln ousting at the hands of the Democrats in the sixty eighth congress, according to reliable information current In political . quar ters here today. - , j- v -fv i Senator Newberry's decision is un derstood to have been- reached after a series of conversations with' Republi can leaders in Washington.' No official announcement was made here today of Senator Newberry de cision because there was nobody here authorised to speak for the Michigan senator, but" the expectation that an announcement will be forthcoming shortly prevailed in Inner - Republican circles. It is no secret that Senator Newberry has been urged by a .num ber of Influential Republicans to re sign his seat since the election when. Michigan defeated his chief senatorial sponsor. Senator Townsend. and elected a Democrat for the first time in 70 years. A poll of the new senate, which will take office next March 4, has shown almost beyond any doubt that his foes will have sufficient votes to the slxty- eighth congress to unseat rum ana m the face of this Situation Senator Rew- berry has been urged to renounce his claims to the seat rather than subject the party to the embarrassment of his being ousted.

Morgan, principal of Sellwood school, must pay a fine ot $50 and He a day in jail for beating George Clausius, 14,'a pupil, if the circuit court doesn't reverse the decision of Mu nicipal Judge Ekwall, handed down after midnight this morning. . The decision came at the end of a six" hour trial before a courtroom crowded with 250 people, most of them from Sellwood and most of them in hearty sympathy with the principal- " "I find. Morgan guilty on the charge of assault and battery," said the judge. A hostile murmur passed through the crowd and whispered threats passed from lip to lip. TESTIMONY DAMAGING Dr. Samuel C. Koha, psychologist for the court of domestic relations, gave the most damning testimony against Morgan. Kohs said that although 14 years old, George Clausius had the mental age of a boy of 10. Thus it-was apparent that Morgan and the teachers who aJded him were trying to beat sense Into a boy who didn't havo the powerto hold sense. No sooner had the verdict been ren dered than friends ; of the convicted man rushed to his side. Remarks of "We will stick with you," and "there Is plenty of money in Sellwood to fight this case" were heard. That is a dirty rotten deal, one man commented. Judge Ekwall was a few feet away and heard the remark.. "Apologize for that speech or go upstairs for 30, days for contempt of court," said the Judge. The man quickly excused himself and admitted that he had been hasty. Morgan received the verdict stoically. But his expression showed that he was displeased. He vainly tried to smile as his friends rushed to him With words of cheer. 1 But to Miss Ruth Johnson, teacher at the school, who reported the Clausius i OoBehtded on J4s Thre.
