' brought before the senate for ac
tion. ; The prolonged and bitterly
fought debate which is expected
to precede a vote on it will be be
gun tomorrow. J ' !
' Ratification Of the Tap treaty
. followed an allrday battle, over
reservations ana tmendments, in
which dissatisfied senators on the
Democratic side. Joined by a few
Republicans. sought uhccessf uU
lo attach qualifications to the rat
ification resolution. A half dozen
proposals, all presented by Dem
ocratic senators,' were voted down
successively by overwhelming ma
jorities. ,
Non-interference Policy
, " The reservationists made their
, principal fight and reached the
' hlgh water mark of their strength
- in favor of an amendment which
.would have .declared that the
' United States should be the sole

dio development on Yap is war-
. ranted.';,
Under the "treaty no American
plant is to be installed there las
long as Japan maintains one "ad

OLCOTT APPOINTS COMMITTEE
TO INVESTIGATE EFFICIENCY
OF CABINET ADMINISTRATION
Board Headed by T. B. Kay
Time for 'Consideration of Next Legislature
in
Whether Oregon Shall Follow Illinois Scheme is Ques
tion That Will be Decided
Governor Olcott announced yesterday that he is appoint
ing an honorary committee of prominent citizens to investi
gate with what success the so-called "cabinet" form of gov
ernment has been met in states where it has been estab-
ished, and to make a report
to the next legislature.
Members of the committee are :
T. B. Kay, chairman, Salem, for two terms state treasur
er, several terms in the legislature both in the senate and
the house, and president of the
Frank J. Miller, Albany, former member of public service
commission, former member
the Albany Iron works.
A. J. Johnson, Corvallis, president of Benton County State
bank, former member of legislature and chairman of consol
idation and efficiency commission created by the 1917 legis-
ature.
Judge Charles H. Carey, Portland, a leading attorney.
F. I. Dunbar, Astoria, prominent attorney and former
secretary of state for Oregon
In 1917 the legislature provid
ed for a committee known as the
consolidation and efficiency com
mission for the purpose of pre
senting to the succeeding legis
lature a concrete plan for con
solidation and i elimination of
boards and commissions. This
committee hired an expert inves
tigator from Illinois, wha had
assisted in establishing the cab
inet form of government in that
state. After a series of hearings
and investigations the committee
suggested a report in published
form which embodied all of the
essential details of the Illinois
plan, as applicable to conditions
in Oregon. The committee also
presented a scies of bills to the
1919 legislature, but that legis-
ature defeated all of the propos
als emanating from the commit
tee.
Illinois Plan Copied
Since the adoption of the plan
Illinois it has been copied in
other states including Washing
ton, Idaho, Nebraska, New York
and others.
'Considerable difference of
opinion has arisen in states where
the, cabinet . form! of government
has been adopted as to whether
or not it Is successful in kits act
ual operations," stated Governor
Olcott, in announcing the ap
pointment of the ;new committee.
Clais have been ade on both
sides in the varolus states, some
to the effect that economies have
been effected by the new plan,
and on the other hand claims have
been made that the . adoption of
the plan has resulted in higher
costs, larger salaries and no ma
terially' Increased ' efficiency.
Impartial Survey Asked
"I am asking the committee
I have selected to make as nearly
an impartial survey as possime
of the success or failure of the
plan In other states so the next
legislature may be intelligently
Informed in that regard. If it 's
discovered that the plan is a suc
cess! the work of the old con
solidation commission will be
available for use by the incoming
legislature.
"I must be remembered that
in Oregon a large majority of the
boards and commissions are made
up of unsalaried members, and
and conditions in some states,
such as New York and Illinois,
are not altogether analagous with
conditions in Oregon. But all of
these various phases may be gone
into by the committee I have se
lected for an impartial report.

With a precipitation of only

during the month of February, it
may be said that so far this year,
this part of the valley is rather
short on rainfall.
Since the year 1890, the heav

tho average, was 15.96 inches.
That was in 1904. In 1902, the
average February rainfall in the
western part of the state was 13.1
inches.
In 1909, when it rained for
more than 40 days and 40 nights
during the months of February
and March, the February precipi
tation was 11.9 inches for average
in the western part of the state.
February of 1921 the average was
8.16 " inches. February of 1920
had less rainfall than any Febru

ILL DECIDE
Judge Mack Declares That
Either Miss Pickford cr
Mrs. Wilkenning Deliber
ately Lied on Stand.
VERDICT IS SEALED,
ANNOUNCED TODAY
Galoots Are Tickled When
Actress Addresses Fair
banks as "Dear"
NEW YORK, March 1.
Federal Judge Mack reached
the conclusion today that
either Mary Pickford or Mrs.
Cora W. Wilkenning, who
sued the cinema actress for
$108,000, had deliberately
lied, and he left it to a jury
to decide which one was
guilty. :
The jury returned its de
cision this afternoon, but, as
Judge Mack had gone home,
the verdict was sealed and the
question of veracity will not
be publicly settled until to
morrow. :'
The lie, according to the
judge, rested in'' the conflict
ing stories of the methods
Mary used back in 1916 to get
Adolph Zukor to raise her sal
ary, from $4,000 a week to
$10,000.: . I.;, f h
f Mrs Wilkenning, j whose
business is that of locating
jobs and ! better salaries for
people who live by amusing;
others, claimed that it was
she who persuaded Mr. Zukor
to fatten Mary s income. She
said the screen star came to
her and - told about hearing
that Charlie Chaplin was
making a million dollars a
a a
year, ana sne tnougnt ner
curls and her pout were worth
just as much as the corneal-
an s derDy ana snunie, or
words to that effect.
According to Mrs. Wilkennlng't
story, it was agreed that she
should sally forth and get other
producers to bid for Mary'a ser
vice which would force Zukor to
raise the ante, and then she would
get .10 per 'cent commission cn
the new contract. Thus she claim
ed $108,000 as her commission
and xtra charges, because Mary
got $10,000 a week contract run
ning for two years. "
Mother Trstlfle
Mary 'who was In", the . court
room today with her husband,
Douglas Fairbanks, land her moth
er, flatly denied -Mra. Wllkeo
nings accusations. Her lawyer
told the Jury that Mary was sucn.
a good actress that producer
came around to her with tempting
contracts and that It was Hly, to
think she would have to f
around looking for a Job. U
Mary's mother testified yester
day that Mrs. Wllkennlns; didn't
have a thing to do with the con
tract, but wanted it signed in her
office because it would lend her
prestige. Today Mrs. Wllken
ning's lawyer told what ,t
thought about Mary' mother and
-Mrs. Pickford almost cried. Bat
she smiled again When Mary kiss
ed her and told her to brace up
and show her "Irish" sense ot fco-
mor.
Bis; Crowd on Hand
ft
"This Interview between the
plaintiff and the defendant, either
took place or it did not tako
place." said Judge Mack, address
ing the jury. "One or ne otner
has deliberately lied. . It cannot
be a mere figment of , Imagina
tion." : ; '
Then he told the Jury that, If
they fonnd Mary had been the one
who slipped from .the path of
truth, they could award Mrs. Wil
kenning any nm op to $108,099.
A crowd loafed all day In the
corridor outside the courtroom to
catch a glimpse of Mary and
