Tharsday Victory likely Boomerang . -It such a stalemate occurs, the rlctory of the. Meier forces yester day will be a boomerang which ' will mean a victory for Moser and the anti-Meier Kroup for the com missioners would then be chosen by the legislature as the law 13 bw operative. Meier' wouH have lost his campaign to appoint the commissioners; Angell would have been defeated in hu fight to e!e:t them: Moser. as a strong factor la . the Multnomah delegation would have been opposed by an army which marched its troopers up a hill and marched tnem down again. The rafters rang with senator ial eloquence In the progress of the debate yesterday la the sen ate. The senate gallery was pack ed with visitors. In the after noon the house suspended its sit ting and its members were Inter ested auditors of the stirring ror ensica. Charges and denials were hurled back and forth, the atmos phere growing tense when Sena tor Eddy repeated charges that toe proponents of the Rogue Riv er bill had made a trade with the house on the Port of Portland proposition. This brought Sena tor Miller of Josephine to his feet with vigorous denial; and Sena tor Dunn of Jackson county said they had refused a suggested trade on a road matter and that he was as free to vote his will on the port b'-ll as the birds to fly the heavens. In the morning session Senator Moser tore into those who had. made sinister allegations concern ing his service as attorney to the port. He read off every fee re ceived by his firm and stated the service rendered, and claimed- his charges had been lower than would have been proper due to his deep interest in the work ot the port, averaging J1T00 per annum. The governor's letter on the com mission Moser asserted waaj fill ed with misstatements and errors, and not In accord with the facts. Criticizes Moser For Inal Office Crawford of Multnomah ; who headed the group of five from that county favoring the amend ment of the Angeil house : bill, pointed to the wide powers: pos sessed by the board and, criticised Moser for sitting as a senator and serving the port as attorney at the same time, demanding that he resign from one position or the other. In the afternoon debate Burke of Yamhill urged to rally behind the governor who asked the! pow er; Woodward of Multnomah pleaded for the amendment in or der to end the controversy; Joe Dunne of Multnomah while sup porting the majority report, de fended the integrity and ability of bis colleague Gus Moser. Dunne admitted that there was one per son designated to be appointed commissioner whom h wouldn't want to serve with, and Upton, who followed, named that oine as Itufus Holman. Upton was the heavy hitter for the Moser position. He unleashed his heavy artillery; "I do not see any reason for a change and none has been given. The interference of the legislature with the port, against the advice of the commission and its engin eers cost the port 250,00 in dredging the Oregon slough In North Portland money absolute ly wasted. This question impure ly political. No complaint! has been made to the legislature about the work of the commis sion. Everybody knows the real reason, which is.politlcal. A few Portland politicians with budding ambitions have , undertaken to boost their political fortunes and pat a crown of victory on; their brows. You are camouflaging and making noises for the mob. The junior senator from Multno mah (Crawford) did a dastardly thing wTaen he said Moser should resign the senatorship or attor neyship. Other members of this body and the house ' serve as at torneys for cities, and some mem bers are also members of school boards or other municipal bodies." Deplore Endles Wrangle Over Port Senator Strayer of Baker vet eran of many sessions, said he had heard the fight over the Port of Portland so long that it had only one rival, that over the Rogue river. He knew the verses and rtioru8 of the Rogue, rivet song but sometimes got them mixed with the port melodies. He fav ored letting- the people rule in good old democratic fashion. Senator Moser in closing the ar gument pointed out that the Mult nomah delegation of the, two houses stood eleven on his side to eight or nine on the other. He said the house would not recede from its position and a deadlock would result. "You are going up , against a stone wall, if the gov ernor had known the 'facts he would not have gotten into this mess. - .Moser defended the achieve ments of the' port, reviewing itsJ worg in areaging the channel, ac quiring Swan island, filling in lands now valuable for Industrial sites, and handling ' its finances with care.

OF Boy Scouts of Marion and Polk counties are preparing to observe the 21st anniversary of Boy Scout ing in the United States, from Sunday, February 8, to Saturday, February 14. The movement was incorporated In Washington, D. C, February 8, 1910. In special recognition of the day, two Salem ministers, Rer. Hugh B. Fouke, Jr., of the Jason Lee church and Rev.

ANCHORS 1Y TEH OF TACOMA. Feb. 5 fAP) Out of dim, forgotten ages of antiquity has come a Tscovery in Alaska which may throw light on the or igin of the North American Indian, a question that has long puzxled anthropologists. Ifews of the dis covery was first given to Russell Annabel, noted Alaskan guide now in Taeoma, by Dr. Smith of the Alaska bureau of education. Dr. Smith wrote that miners operating the Wells brothers pla cer mine on Henry Creek, . 90 miles inland from Nome, had un earthed a pair of stone anchors, weighing about 200 pounds each, carved with ideographs "resembl ing those of the Chinese language. Their apparent great age and presence so far from any now na vigable waters led to conjecture that they were lost in the mud of the old river by a people un known to history, possibly by Mongoloid seafarers who crossed the Bering sea from Asia and founded the first colonies on the North American continent. Annabel sent this information to the museum of the University of Pennsylvania, and today receiv ed word from museum officials that they intend to send an expe dition into the Nome country to Investigate the find, as soon as climatic conditions will permit. Local Debaters Beat Woodburn By Three Votes Salem, high school debaters won three to nothing j from Woodburn in the district debate at the high school auditorium here last night.

"In the regular course of events,' Secretary Adams said, "the charges " and specifications are made public when the ac cused Is arraigned in open ses sion before the court-martial sit ting in his case." Reply Sent to Vanderbilt Six naval officers and a for mer marine major general will weigh the charges against Butler in Philadelphia, February 16. Already the'state department has formally apologized to Italy for the references to Premier Musso lini as a hit-and-run driver. The state department fo warded today to Vanderbilt at Phoenix, Ariz., an acknowledge ment of his letter pertaining' to the Butler-Mus30linl case. j Officials would not comment, but the Inference was given that their part of the incident was closed with the formal apology.! Major Leonard said tonight he expected to return to Quantieo tomorrow to continue work i oin plans for Butler's defense. : SLICK POLITECIAN 1 I (Continued from pace 1) view, "there usually was a boy genius who wore his hair long. thought he had superior abil ities, studied words and debated. Lincoln was that kind of boy. ; "One of his principal gifts was satire. Others were mimicry, histonlc antics, deep-seat d an tagonisms, coldness, a sort of logic such as you would expect the village genius t develop.' Lincoln, he writes, "was man nerless, unkempt and one won ders If he was not unwashed. J . For this reason the myth has grown up of the easy, good-na tured Lincoln, the democratic Lincoln, who loved everyone and whom people everywhere hailed as Abe or Uncle Abe. This was not the case. He allowed no one to be familiar with him. Al ways he was addressed as Mr. Lincoln. j "On the other hand there was his sense of humor, perhaps the only aesthetic gift be had." OF MAY WIELD BALLOT TOKYO, Feb. 5. UP)-A bill introduced In the Japanese diet today by the Hamaguchl govern ment Indicated it was prepared to give the women of Japan a small taste of political power, in the shape of the right to vote in mu nicipal elections. The sample, was accompanied by the Implicit promise that, if It were taken with no ill effects, within a few years the full feast of politics, equal rights with men to vote and hold office, should be spread before the 15,500,000 fe male subjects ot the mikado. The bill sponsored by the cab inet would permit women to Tote in elections for village, town and city assemblies and to hold seats in those local legislatures. Backed by the overwhelming majority held by the government party, the minseito, in the house of representatives, the bill should pass the lower house without dif ficulty. There may be opposition In the more conservative house of peers, but the chances are the measure will become law. Delinquent Tax Roll Expected Normal.Length j Judging from present indica tions, the d Mnquent tax roll now being prepared by the coun ty tax collecting department of the sheriffs office will vary lit tle from the roll of the past few years. ' Delinquencies ; may pos sibly be a trifle greater says Deputy Sheriff Sam Butler. . The tax delinquent list will probably not be completed until late this month, as there is still considerable work ahead in the compiling. The list is posted March 6, four months after the books close. Citizenship is Held up Due to Finnish Paper ASTORIA, Ore., Feb. 5 CAP) Naturalization applica tions of John F.

Lassila, both of , Astoria, 'were continued at a hearing here to day because they were subscrib ers of "The Toveri", local Fin nish newspaper. . W. Blackman, federal natural isation examiner, who conducted the bearing, said recent investi gations by the government had revealed The Toveri has "reput ed" strong communistic tenden cies. He warned the aliens that their support of this paper was sufficient reason to deny them citizenship. Twelve other applications for citizenship were granted. WORK AT OlfflEE DAM SAID HALTED VALE, Ore.. Feb. 5 (AP)- Work has virtually closed down on the 8,000,000 Owyhee dam, 30 miles sooth of here for lack of funds, resident engineers ot the General Construction. Co., con tractors, said today. Company neaaquarters is in Seattle. A light crew Is belne retained out the force of 300 men employ ed auring the winter has been released. Lack of funds from the reclamation service was elven as tne reason. The dam is the main unit of an $18,600,000 federal reclamation project started two years ago to reclaim over 200.000 acres of land in eastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho. The dam was reported about half finished ana work and several tunnels well along. L FOR ALL OF ALASKA, PLAN WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 fAP) A 900-mile belt of inland Alas ka, dotted at 30-mile intervals I with the shelter and supply huts is Postmaster General Brown's Idea of an airplane star route service for that territory. Not air mail, specially stamped and scheduled, but all mail in tended for remote homes would be delivered by plane under this plan. Brown said. Such a system, he asserted, would add more to the comfort and convenience of Alaska's inhabitants than either or the plans for a regular air mail service from the states to Alaska now being urged upon the postornco department. POWER OF LANDIS TESTED 1 COURT CHICAGO. Feb. 5. fAP) - In the same federal court where he leaped to international fame by nonchalantly fining the Stand ard Oil Co. of Indiana $29,000.- 000 In a rebafe case back . in 1907, Kenesaw Mountain Landis fought today as a defendant aeainst a legal move to test his dictatorship o- the ranks of organized baseball. The case was wrought by the I Milwaukee club of the American association, which sought an in junction to restrain the com missioner from further . interfer ing with the movements of Fred Bennett, outfielder. The suit was filed when Landis ordered Milwaukee to return Bennett to the St. Louis club of the Ameri can league on the grounds his movements from club to club in the St. Louis farm system were In violation of the major-minor league agreement. TEST ORDERED AS TO SMITH STATUS WASHINGTON. Feb. 5 (AP) The senate today ordered a court test of George Otis Smith's right to hold office a chairman of the power commission. After confirming, reconsider-. ing and rejecting his nomination it adopted a resolution directing the district -attorney here to in stitute quo warranto proceedings against him.

Resolution; Following Talk by Senator Bailey At Weekly Session i I don't think much relief will be granted to the taxpayer by the legislature," senator J. O. Bailey of Portland, declared in talking be fore the Lions' . club yesterday noon on the tax situation and o the free textbook bilL f ; The senator devoted most of his speech to the textbook' proposi tion, of which he is a strong advo cate. He declared 43 or 44 of the states in the union have free textbooks in one form or another. and that Oregon was behind pro gress on this matter. Free text books will cost lesa in the long run, are more sanitary when the school keepa them in shape i and when the district owns the books, life of them is longer. Bailey said: The Lions club adopted a reso lution, presented before Bailey's speech, favoring the free textbook bill, with recommendation that provision be made to supply the funds from some other than the regular school budget. Copies of the resolution will ; be forwarded to the Marion county delegations in the legislature. . . . I Bailey decried- the retroactive act on the Intangibles tax bill and said Portland people hold that the money paid into the fund should be paid back. "The six per cent limitation Is one of the biggest handicaps and greatest curses to the state," the senator declared. adding that the limitation has not curbed, but rather circumscribed through Its devices and that el ties have kept pyramiding debt because of it. ASSERTS EINSTEIN STOLE HIS THEORY LOS ANGELES. Feb. B (AP Ira D. Edwards, who described himself as a physicist, filed an action in federal' court today against Professor Albert Einstein of Berlin, charging Infringement of the copyright laws. Edwards charged that Dr. :EIn stein, father of relativity, "lifted the unified field theory" from a book copyrighted and published by Edwards November 19. 1929 entitled "The Why and Where fore of Things." I The complaint asked for a per manent injunction prohibiting the little German professor from further use, either in lectures or writing of the theory, for dam ages set by the court, for costs of the action and requested that Dr. Einstein, who is visiting in Pasadena be subpoenaed to court to answer the suit. 0 o pair Men's Fine Felt Slippers with any Men's Shoes at $2.97 or over "An Honest Confession In order to raise money in a hurry, we are only j ! . , ' We believe tnese iruin in advertising, AILIL Dfl & $11 .93 tues to Group pumps 2'2 to in ftO Boys f only. ; 29 c $2 it If--- tm r hi r - - ifll'i , These three stodenU, Dorothy Eberhard.

DICTATORSHIP FOR t GERMANY DERIDED BERLIN, . Feb. 5. (AP) Talk of a dictatorship In Ger many is ridiculous. Chancellor Bruening told the Reichstag to day in his first speech since re sumption of the parliament after the Christmas recess. It Is Imperative, however, he said, that the members recognise their responsibility for adopting the "spartan" budget for 1931 by the end of March at least, giving the world assurance that Germany is worthy of credit, and paving the way for an eventual solution of the reparations prob lem. - I "The government Is unalter ably opposed to a dictatorship and has no intention of invoking article 48 of the constitution for putting the budget into effect," he said, referring to the "dictat or clause" which provides for dissolution of parliament' and government by decree. .

(AP) - A 50 per cent reduction In max imum disability- allowance to world war veterans during hospi talization was recommended today by Veterans Administrator Hines. Early congressional action was forecast on his proposal for $10, 000,000 for Immediate construc tion of 18 new hospitals. Testifying before the senate fi nance committee, Hines- said he realized any cut in disability com pensation would be "unpopular" but believed it necessary to re move an "incentive". among tem- fiorarily disabled men to remain n governmjfit hospitals j after they are cured. Several members of the com mittee agreed and asked Hines to draw up a bill, bote the concensus appeared to be that such legisla tion 'stood little chance of passage this session. s ; Reducing Grade On Victor Point Road is Sought Reduction of a 30-degree grade to one of six or eight degrees is one of the ' problems on which County Engineer Hedda Swart is now working, preperatory to sending out a surveying crew for the victor Point road east from Salem.
