Senator Norris criticized the , administration of prohibition by Secretary Mellon, but observed that it would perhaps be wise not to : judge the treasury head too hastily, because he was not in sympathy" with the dry cause when he undertook to enforce it. An observation was made by Senator Glass, himself once secre tary of the treasury, that all re cent treasury heads, including Mr. Mellon, had recommended transfer of the prohibition bu reau to the department of justice, and that too much blame could not be placed-upon Mr. Mellon be cause he had many other duties to attend to. The transfer, however, Senator Glass declared, has been opposed by the anti-saloon league, which he described as a 'political or ganization." Senator Jones, a dry, asserted that he would have- no objections to putting prohibition enforcement work under Mrs. .Mabel Walker ; WHlebrandt an assistant attorney general. He said he had "a great deal of confidence in Mrs. Wille brandfs integrity." AUTOMOBILE DRIVER IS FACING DEATH CHARGE PORTLAND, Ore.. Jan. 18.

Senate Will Hold Secret Meet to Discuss Roy West "WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. (AP) Taking up the nomination - of Roy O. West, of Chicago, to be secretary of interior, the senate spent almost three hours today arguing whether his case should be discussed in open, or secret ses sion. After three roll calls it was decided to keep the case behind closed doors and debate' on the nomination went over until to morrow. The three hour wrangle brought to a head the long series of arguments .in the senate about the consideration of executive nominations and the senators were reminded again of the rule that members are subject to ex pulsion for disclosing what occurs in secret meetings.

By a vote of 38 to 34, the sen ate also refused the forces sup porting West's nomination and he took charge of the contest to day. Friends of the secretary are confident of the votes for his confirmation but they are doubt ful whether a vote will be reached by tomorrow. lands Committee Favorable Finally getting down to busi ness today, the senate received a report by Senator Glenn, republi can of Illinois, from the lands committee which voted 8 to 4 to recommend the confirmation of the secretary and a minority re port prepared by Chairman Nye of the committee. - -Senators Nye and Norris and others against his conformation are opposed to West principally because of his investments in the Samuel Insull power utility com panies. West told the committee he had invested about 867,000 In Insull companies and that he sold these for about 8118,000 when he was named secretary of interior last August by President Coo- lidge.

Bourbon Rebellion Held Inevitable "Governor Smith may" correctly estimate some of the people of some parts of the country, but In making the arrangement men tioned he demonstrated that he greatly underestimated the inde pendence, self respect and patriot ism of the democratic hosts of the cities, towns and open spaces of America. "Many democrats rebelled. Part ly loyalty and insuperable objec tions to supporting the republican regime compelled many others to tighten their lips and endure the situation, but if I know them, they will not passively permit them selves and their party to be thus enmeshed again."

There are now r three members of this commission.. Sen ator Dunne's bill provides that one member of the commission shall be a woman, while the flflth member shall be the state Insurance com missioner. The Insurance commis sioner would receive an annual salary equal to half of that receiv ed by the other four, members. Anticipate Measure For Quadrennial Session Some officials declared that the bill was Introduced as a sort of a club over the accident com mis sion. while' others said Senator Dunne was : sincere and would make an effort to have the bill passed. Officials were almost a unit, however. In opposing' the plan tt make the state insurance commissioner a member of the ac cident commission. Legislators said a resolution probably would find its way into the hopper early next week pro viding for a session of the Oregon legislature every four years in stead of every two years as is the practice at this time. Such a res olution would have to be referred to the voters for ratification or re jection. It was argued that Ala bama has tried out the four-year plan of holding Its legislature, and that It has proved successful. Most legislators who have commented on the proposed resolution Indi cated that It would not be adopted. Various committees will ewing into action Monday night, and by Wednesday a large number of bills should be returned for considera tion of the two houses. Approxi mately 160 bills have been Intro duced in the house, while 20 bills have been received in the senate! Most of the house bills were intro duced by the repeals committee. It was said that opposition had de veloped in connection with a num ber of the repeal bills. The pur pose of the repeals committee is to recommend elimination of dead- wood from the Oregon statutes At the 1927 session of the legisla ture was one of the most active committees. President Norblad of the senate spent most of the forenoon in his office here, but left in the after noon for Portland. He expected to return to Salem sometime today It was said that a number of con ferences would be held here Sun day night following return of the legislators. These conferences will have to do with bills now being drafted.
