Provides That All State Printing
Shall Bear the .Imprint of the Union
Label.
Salem, Jan. 15. Bailey, of Multno
mah, had tho hpnor of Introducing tho
first labor union hill of the session.
Its title Is "A bill for an net regulat
ing tho tiso of trade union labclB up
on printed matter furnished by or for
tho Stato of Oregon." It provides
that nil printing done by or for the
r.lnto shall hear the Imprint of the
Allied Printing Trades Council label,
save and except certificates of ap
pointment and election to ofllec, and
that no stato officer shall accept any
printing excopt that' hereinbefore ex
cepted, which does not bear the union
label, violation of this law Is to be
punished by a fino of not les sthan
$100-,nor more than $500.
Such Action Would Be In Violation of
the Monroe Doctrine President to
Call a Conference of Leading Con
gressmen, Washington, Jan. 15. Although the
German government formally denies
seeking to ncquire Colombia's Inter
est in the Panama canal, there is no
denial ot (ho fuct that a syndicate
largely made up of German capital
ists has been formed In Europe for
the purpose of purchasing the proper
ly March 5, as soon as the option of
the United States expires.'
Minister Hart, of Bogota, has re
ported to tho state department that
the influence of European represen
tatives including those of Germany,
has beon exerted to prevent Colom
bia from signing the canal treaty and
this Is tho chief cause of Colombia's
Insistence upon an annual rental of
$600,000. Colombia expects either to
bring the United States to these
terms, or to make a better bargain
with European capitalists.
This is admitted by Herron, who al
Gon confirms tho report that Germa
vy hns been negotiating with Colom
bla for a coaling station despite tho
knowledge that such action would 'be
In violallon and defiance of the Mon
roo doctrine.
President Roo&ovelt Is said to be
considering the advisability of call
nig a conference of the leading senn
tors and representatives to decide on
a course of action.

to break the will of Jacob S. Rogers,
the millionaire locomotive builder of
Patersou, was commenced In earnest
today whon tho suit of Mrs. Virginia
Helnlsch, of this city was called for
trial in tho chancery court. Mrs.
Helni3ch charges deception In tho
persuasions used to Induce her to sign
I he release in common with the other
heirs, She also, charges her former
counsel with deception In that he did
not properly enlighten her as to the
purport of the release she was pur-
suaded to sign. On these grounds she
ordoavors to have set aside the pro
bate of the will. The executors deny
all allegations of fraud and a. bitter
contest Is likely to be the outcome.

elder of Wnlla Walla district of the
Methodist Episcopal church, will not
preside nt tho trial of Rev. O. D.
Nlckelson, of Colfax, on tho charge of

Mr. Gibson was nBked to accept this
rosltlon, as Dr. Henry Brown, presid
ing colder of this district, had signified
n desire to hayo tho chair filled by
some one other than himself. U now
transpires, however, that it would be
inconvenient for Mr. Gibson to take
up this task and might compel him to

vate Clerk Extra Denounced -as
Illegal and Petty Larceny.
Salem, Or., Jan. 15. The house
held a two-hours' session this morn
ing and then adjourned until Monday,

that nine-tenths of tho bills already

out legislation. It may make a seri
ous delay in legislation.
