I t-xtraordinuiy nvo to the t iiueil States, here today. Addressing the chamber of com merce, he ti;!ondcd his country's policy in demanding war repara tions fiom Cermany. Tonight at a dinner given by the American com- niitue mr devastated France, he related the gratitude of hs coun trymen for America's aid in the war and in reconstruction. In ad dition, he attended an official re ception at city hall. He spoke only in French. In his address, he flouted the idtu that Germany is unable to pay what is demanded of her. ' Some have said that the claims of France are exaggerated," be said. "It is a lie." He added that he had just re ceived word from his government that Germany proposes to pay her war debts ' from supplementary profits made from her foreign trade." " , "For her to do this." he declar e.d, "she will need to absorb 40 per cent of the world's trade, which would mean countries which control the world commerce would be reduced to misery." In his address at his city hall reception, M. Viviani compared today's visit with tnai of 1917. when he and Marshal Joffre were swamped by a :"tremenaous wave ot wonderfully" sympathetic hu manity." "Now the war is over, and we have won." he said. "I come here is a pilgrim of France to tell the American people of France's love and gratitude." Looking at a life sized picture Of Lafayette, M. Viviani referred to his work in aiding in the Amer ican revoliitfon, and added: "Am erica has returned his services to us a hundredfold." "But," he continued, "our rela tions are not those of creditor and debtor, but those of peoples satu rated with the same ideals. The name of America will be blessed is the humblest home of the re motest hamlet ot France." - After the. exchange, of, greetings M. Viviani told the mayor he had brought as a token from the French government a small Serves vase which would be presented to the city. Martin W. Littleton, speaking at the dinner tonight said that "while we have paused in front of obligations concealed in the possi bilities of a covenant, we have not turned our backs upon the lofty aim and superb spirit which the covenant tries to express."

Am enrolled and passed, this sectien, following the figure $7 5.- 000, omits the words "and before k-eceiving appointment from the optintendent of banks." This fuins.the meaning of the section. Van Clerk Powerful, i In chapter 328, which was sen ate bill 329, a lengthy phrase that was deleted by amendment and other words substituted was allowed to remain, together with the substitute words. This is ex plained In a footnote. : The county clerk of Coos coun ty is clothed with tremendous power under chapter 120, which was house bill 117, which says that "the county clfrrk may ap point his deputies, the annual salaries of Buch deputies to be Tixed by the county clerk of Coos county.". The act was intended to say that the salaries should be fixed by the county court, Instead of by the clerk. In the . preamble to chapter 297, which was senate bill 219, is written the figure $2ft,OOo! where should be 120,000,000. Some of the errors are cause for amusement. A law relating to qualification of jurors says they shall be in possession of their natural "facilities." Natu ral "faculties" was the Intended word. In the military oodrs occurs the words "In times of 'peach.' " where "times of 'peace " is In tended. Rer-?rrnrs Incorrect. Existing laws are, frequently eited In the new Jaws as. for ex ample. Oregon laws 91 ir. to 9151, ieaing out the word ' fection.'' Several Instances of the double negative are found In the new laws. The leavlug out of nee-s-fary words is a common error. Singular subjects with plural verbs, and plural subjects with singular verbs are encountered many times In the volume. The lawmaker makes no dis tinction whatever between the words "or" and "nor," the for mer being used dozens of times where the latter should be used. There is confusion in ih. J-effect" and "affect.

AMD STATES DIFFER Oil T1IF Third International Minin Convention is Ended tn Portland POItTI.AXU, April 7. A lively difference of opinion developed at today's seKsion of the Interna tional mining convention between delegates of the states and those of ttritish Columbia on the ques tion of adoption by the conven tion of resolutions favoring a tar iff on mineral products. A way cut was found by the delegates from the states holding a separ ate session following adjournment of the afternoon 'nternational session and at this separate ses sion the resolutions opposed by tne northerners were adopted; The resolutions committee had prepared recommendations for protection of American lead, zinc, mercury and magnesite, and an other resolution Indorsed the Pitt man act, by which it was said the price of silver had been sta bilized. I When these resolutions were ready for presentation. British Columbia delegates on the com mittee objected. So a way out of H.c . mma was found. The ilurd international mining con vention was adjourned at the close of the afternoon program. .At the beginning of the night sesH sion the United States delegates to the third Internationale were assembled and the tariff resolu tions, after discussion, were adop ted. Canadian delegates present refrained from voting. Flags of the two nations still hung together from the stage at the public auditorium today.

B. C. presided in the afternoon. ' OF Extradition of Bergdoll from Germany Diplomatic Question WASHINGTON'. April 7. Ex tradition from Cermany of Gro ver Cleveland Bergdoll, draft evader, is a diplomatic question and is in the hands of the state department, Secretary Weeks says in a letter to Senator Capper, of Kansas, made public tonight. The secretary added. however, that the war department would "use every effort to have Berg doll returned to the custody of the United States military author ities." State department officers re fused today to discuss reports that Canada had been asked to ex tradite Bergdoll for violation of Canadian passport regulations when he departed from there for Oermany. Secretary Weeks said such action would not surprise him. The war secretary In his letter disclosed that as soon as it wa. ascertained Bergdoll was in Ger many, Brigadier General Allen, commanding American forces on the Hhine. requested the authori ties of the Baden government, where Bergdoll had sought ref uge, to return him to the United States. "The Baden government." the letter continued, "refused the re quest on the ground Bergdoll was not in the class of military of fenders whose extradition was provided for by the armistice."

Two hours of questioning tonight by New York newspupermeiit failed to shake the story of Hoy Harris, who last night confessed to the local police that he and a companion murdered Joseph B.

Official investigating the confession of Roy Harris to Buffalo police that he and a companion named Wil liam Duncan murdered Joseph B. Elwell, wealthy clubman and bridge whist expert. last June, to night admitted they were baffled. While they said Harris had shown Intimate knowledge with many de tails of the crime, so many of his statements conflicted with the facts that it was almost impossi ble to believe his story. Mrs. Elwell, widow of the mur dered sportsmen declared she had never hear of "Mrs. Fairchild'V who was said by Harris to havo hired his companion and himself to commit the crime. Mrs. Elwell asserted she "had little interest in seeing the affair revived." PICE Princess Antoinette of Lux embourg Family Is Bride BERLIN. April 7.
