GRAHAM OF ILLINOIS RESPONSIBLE FOR Fight Begins Soon After Reading Starts Motions Shut Off Debate WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. Thirty seven shots in the t.hni of amendments were fired at the administration shipping bill in the house today and six hit spots more or less vital. At adjournment tonight the bill had covered exactly one third of Its tempestuous voyage toward" the senate. Representative Gra ham of Illinois, a Republican, went home with three of the half dozen amendments in his shooting bag, all of which were put through with the aid of He- j publican votes. Standard Oil Out Early in the fight. Represen tative Edmonds, Pennsylvania, ranking Republican of the Mer chant marine committee which framed the bill, formally announced- oh the floor that the section, under which the Stand ard Oil company, for example, would share in the government supbsidy for transporting its own goods in its own ships would be stricken out bodily. This in the view of western Republicans, ad ded to its chance of passage. Stepping in unexpectedly. Rep resentative Oliver, Democrat, Al abaniaHjresented an-ameadment, acceptance of which virtually fix ed an upset price for the sale of the steamship Leviathan, the big gest of the government fleet. This provided that the Leviathan, now being reconditioned, should not be sold at a price less than the cost of reconditioning. Pre cise figures obtained tonight from the appropriations committee showed that this cost was $8,166, 000. First declared dead the Oliver proposal won 81 to 78 by a man to man count as members marched down the aisle. Interest Rate Increased The fight to riddle the bill was begun five minutes after the ac tual reading started. On his feet first, Mr. Graham put for ward an amendment to strike out a section permitting the shipping board to sell ships without ad vertisement or competitive sale. The motion was adopted almost unanimously. The other Graham amendment increased the rate of interest on unpaid balances for ships bought from the government from not less than 4 1-4 per celt. Repres entative Frear, Republican, Wis consin, sought to make it six per cent 'flat, but failed. An amendment by Representa tive Blanton, Democrat, Texas, provided that no 'government em ploye should be interested finan cially in the purchase of govern- men ships, was passed with kittle opposition. Constructors Hit Out of many offered. Repres entative Davis, Tennessee, Demo cratic members of the merchant marine committee, got through an amendment providing that pros pective ship constructors, borrow ing from the shipping board re volving fund should pay not less than 4 1-4 per cent interest in stead of two per cent, as stipu lated in the bill. Touching briefly on the plan to eliminate the section dealing with subsidy for industrial ships, Mr. Edmonds said he was preparing an amendment to protect Indus trial ships. 'It will take industrial ships like those of the Standard Oil company, ne saia, "away irom being recipients of any subsidy." Representative Dickinson, Re publican, Iowa, one of the farm bloc leaders, failed in his effort to have farmers exporting prod ucts put on all fours with ship pers receiving an Income tax re bate. His amendment was offer ed to the income tax rebate sec tion, which was later voted out.

STATES SPLIT ON SP MERGER California and Nevada Urge Adoption While Wyoming and Idaho Oppose WASHINGTON. Nov. 27. Railroad commissions represent ing two weslern states Califor nia and Nevada, asked the inter state commerce commission to day to continue the merger of the Southern pacific and the Central Pacific railroads which the supreme court order has or dered dissolved, while commis sions of two other states, Wy oming and Idaho, urged approval of the separation. Two in Favor A group of California business men, also appearing in the hear ing which the federal commis sion is conducting on the South ern Pacific's application for re tention of the Central system, came forward to argue for the merger as essential to commer cial and civic interests along the Pacific coast. Representative Mondell, house Republican leader, made the principal argument for Wyoming in supporting the separation de cree. He rested his case chiefly on the ground that national in terest required maintenance of competition in trans-continental railroad service. An indeoendent Central Pacific, he declared, would be of nore advantage both nationally and locally than the present merger. mmc OFFICER OF Earl W. Perkins Succumbs to Injuries Received in Recent Accident Earl W. Perkins, 34 years old, member of the state traffic squad, died at Willamette sanitarium at 1:55 o'clock yesterday after noon from Injuries received a week ago today when he was run over near Aurora by a truck of the Willamette Valley Transfer company.

"led for Educational Addresses Today V-What is understood to be the laygest ""roup of teachers ever gathered in Marion county as sembled Monday for the annual teachers Institute. Fully 400 persons, mostly teachers, present j or prospective, filled the high school auditorium almost to its capacity seating. They're fairly swarming all over Salem, In from all over the county, and some from outside as well, to get what the institute offers of superior in struction. The program opened at 10 o'clock Monday with a half-hour concert under the direction of Lena Belle Tartar, music direc tor of the Salem higji school. Some exceptionally good singing was done by the school chorus. It was enthusiastically applauded. "Skipper Ireson's Ride," the poem by John G. Whittier of Salem, Massachusetts, and the singing by the Salem Oregonians, made a great hit. Defective Question ;Stu(ked ; Judge W. M. Bushey of the Marion county court addressed the institute on the important matter of defective children, es pecially those of parents who can not give them' medical attention that might restore them to nor mality. He, as judge, has the authority to send such children for proper treatment to hospitals or to doctors where they can be restored. The law was passed in 1917, hut is sometimes forgotten, he said. Any teacher or school officer can report in any such case, and the county court -will act. Churchill Given Ovation State Superintendent J. A. Churchill, newly elected for an other four years, was given a sur prise when the audience gave him a triple "Bali-rah-rah"' as he stepped to the;; platform. He spoke of the need of better rural school service, as the weakest link in the present educational system. The county unit plan, made optional by the 1921 legis lature, he advocated as proving exceptionally successful where it has been tried in Oregon. Mr. Churchill gave a powerful address on the kind of patriotism that lives to make its country better, iifiin the public school as the place to teach proper ideals of un selfish service for the good of others. Music Starts Afternoon To startthe afternoon pro gram, Leonard Chadwick played two violin solos, and Cecil Dea con two piano solos, that were joyfully applauded. A number of excellent departmental studies were presented by teachers select ed for their especial familiarity with the work at hand. The art department, presented by Ala bama Brenton, made an especially interesting showing on posters. Dr. H. L. Sheldon of the Uni- i .versity of Oregon, spoke on f Re cent Criticisms of American Edu cation." The speaker went on to show what Oregon teachers can do to make their own schools bet ter and more responsive to the needs of the times to help drag the people out of mediocrity and banal conventionality. Principal Xrlson Heard Several departmental sessions 'Were held to discuss various phases of common school work. One of these was an excellent ad dress on the teaching of current history by Prof. J. C. Nelson of Salem high school. The last address of the day was i a scintillating address on "Words." by President Carl G. Doney of Willamette university. What he told them about the ad Vantages of good diction, about a familiarity with words of mean ing instead of meaningless slang, ought to crop out in 300 school rooms in the county before the middle of next week. The ad dress itself was a mine of well-selected words.
