Hammonds, who has been the center of strife within the democratic party that has pre vailed since Johnston, a democrat, took office two years ago. were " among the spectators. Former Gov ernor Jack Walton also was pres ent. Gorernor Johnston pleaded for "fairness and Justice." warning against investigation tending to "sarve personal purposes of ma licious Individuals and to cause what should be a Judicial inquiry to degenerate into a low type of persecution and muckraking. Any officer found guilty of mis conduct should be removed and punished, he ?aid. adding that "no chr.rge or rumor should be lg- aored." Hard Situation Faced With the house organized against him through a coalition of i 4uti-admlnistratlon democrats with republicans, and the major Ity of the senate also opposed to fclm. Governor Johnston today found himself much in the same position as did Governor Walton bafore the latter was Impeached from office several years age. Like Governor Walton, the pres ent governor used state-troops to prevent legislators from meeting In self-convened session for im peachment purposes. Last winter national guardsmen barred legls- ,, lators from their capltol cham ers on orders of Governor John ton. He won the support of the tate supreme court in his contsn- ' . tlon then that the impeachment ae- ; tlvities of the antl-admialstratloa ' men .were illegal. But with the legislature now In regular session, the Ions sought Investigation could not be farther delayed and Governor Johnston met the Issue with his request for sweeping Inquiry. 1ST I1ES 1IL SERVICE IS STAnTED HAVANA.

(AP) Tbeelectric fish sereen ,i? recommended as an effective and economic fish diverter at intakes of Irrigation ditches, tail races and other diversions in the report of Shirley Baker, engineer, em ployed by Henry O'Malley, head of the United States bureau of fish eries. A copy of the report was received today by the state fish commissioner. Search for the proper fish screen was prompted by the large loss of both food and game fishes in the Pacific Northwest. So great were the losses that 125. 000 was appropriated by congress to provide for a survey of condi tions and study of proper screens. Screens of all types were Inves tigated and tried out by engin eers in Oregon, Washington, Montana and Idaho. The Oregon mechanical screen at Savage Rap Ids dam on the Rogue river in stalled by the game commission In 1921 was inspected as was the Cobb screen in Yakima. Particular attention was paid to the electric fiah screen, first tried at the Delph creek hatchery. It was fonnd successful and engin. ears superintended a larger in stallation on the Tletoa canal of the Taklma Irrigation project.

District Attorney Buron Fltts contended there had been evi dence of attempted tampering with prospective Jurors. Keyes stood out as the central figure and Ben Getsotf. former tailor, as alleged "bank roll man" as Fltts outlined to the jury the charges of bribery involving more thar $176,000 which he will attempt to prove.

Outstanding conclusions of any size and the results of the survey follow: Water diversions of any size can be effectively and economical ly protected against the entrance of fish by use of the electric fish screen and the electric field of such installation can be establish ed without injury to the fish. For the smaller diversions the tyne of mechanical screen that constantly revolves wtlh the cur rent is a prut leal and reliable installation. Placed at the entrance to the tail race of a power house. It Is believed that the electric installs tion can be Utilised to divert fish from such waters and direct them to other channels. For dams of heights up to ap proximately 50 feet, we believe that fish ladders consisting of successive pools can be made ef fectlve if nronerly designed and located. At high dams. flOO feet or mare) we have fonnd no exist! fish ladders or other mechanical device in successful operation.

(AP) i -The Kellogg anti-war treaty drifted on the listless wares of oratory today as the senate found Itself unable to reach an agree ment on an interpretative resolu tion on the pact and the foes of the treaty prepared a final drive for such a resolution. Hopes for an understanding which would pave the way to a vote by tomorrow or before tne end of the week still were held tonight by some leaders but chair man Borah ot the foreign rela tions committee, sponsor of the bill, dug In for a finish fight. Confident of the rotes for rati fication of the treaty without re servation or Interpretation. Sen ator Borah is not worrying about compromise. Bloc Wants Compromise However, a group ot senate leaders anxious to get action this session on farm relief ae well as on the pending cruiser construc tion bill are bending every etrort to bring the treaty debate to a close. They are the ones hopeful of an agreement. Meanwhile. Senator Blaine, re publican. Wisconsin, today carried on the drive for an interpretation of the pact. He put forward his resolution to declare ft the sense of the senate that the note of Great Britain reserving the right to defend her territories should not be considered as a reservation to the treaty. Bourbons Join Ranks After a lengthy argument by the Wisconsin Senator. Senators Walsh, of Massachusetts, and McKellar of Tennessee, democrats. swelled the total of democratic support forthe pact. Walsh In dorsed the treaty as "a forward step toward world peace but whether a large step on a tiny step the future will disclose." Senator Blaine argued that the treaty "commits our nation to an Impossible peace, unworthy of the traditions of America, ana ror retful of that which made this reDublic possible." "I have no doubt." he said. but that the senators who are supporting the big navy program will vote for this treaty, l am noi surprised that many of those vot ing for this treaty Justify tneir support of a big navy. We may need it. We may be compelled to meet gun for gun battleship for battleship. "When we legalize, as we ao by this treaty.

EflSUffll!! 1 COMIX FRIDAY, JAN, 11 (One night only) Oregon State College Players present "The Devil in the Cheese" 1.3 Wj, m Don't miss it! Seats Now! 50 7S 1.00 I lip ' ----- t Increased Protection . Re- quested for U.S. Agri . coltural Products WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. (AP) Speeding Its tariff revision hear ings to wind up work on the first schedule In three days as origin ally planned, the house ways and means committee today heard from a long list of farm organiza tion representatives a recommen dation for a sweeping chaage in duties on vegetable oils and fats. Under the proposal, all major oils and fats now bearing varying specific and other rates of duty would be given a flat 45 percent ad valorem rate, resulting in in creases for all of the products. The farm representatives said that domestic producers of cot tonseed, flax seed, corn, hogs, beef, soya beans, peanuts and milk, fish ermen on the Atlantic and Pacific! coasts, and a large number of In dependent cruisers of oil mater ials would benefit by the Increase. They contended that the present tariff rates on Oils and fats were "illogical, Inadequate and Ineffec tive," and that because of price relationship and lnter-changeaSU-ity. of the products the uniform rate was needed. The rate would rddIv to such oils as cottonseed, cocoanut, pea nut, soya bean, olive oil, linseed or flax seed and fish oils. Cotton seed and cocoanut oils, which are prime competitors, now bear three and two cents a pound duties, re spectively, except that Importa tion of the latter from the Philip pines Is duty free.
