Democrats Meet Tonight.
Democratic leaders in the senate are
planning a caucus tonight to determine
upon their final attitude on the treaty,
it was learned today.
., Senator Hitchcock Issued the word
for the meeting which will follow a j
conference between him and President
Wilson at the White House.

tion situation to the president and
jjhopos to reach a decision as to whether

Hitchcock to See Wilson -
Washington, Nov. 6 Senator Hitch
cock, administration leader, within the
next two days will confer with Presi
dent Wilson on plans for final disposi
tion of the peace treaty, Secretary Tu
multy said today.
Tumulty will announce the exact
time for the interview later today. Dr.
Cary T. Grayson has consented to the
conference.
The conference between Hitchcock
and the president is regarded as an
other indication that the treaty Is near!
ing a vote in the senate.
With the defeat of the LaFollette
amendment to strike out the labor
ciause of the treaty, there still remains
to be voted upon the Gove amendment,
providing for a referendum on decla
rations of war. ,
With the Gore amendment out of the
v ay, the senate will be free to take up
the resolution of ratification with a
discussion of reservations.

Harrisburg, P. Nov. . A plea
for greater production as a remedy
for high prices was made by Attorney
General Palmer here today in a speech
before Pennsylvania mayors, state of
ficials and fair price committee men
called in session by Governor Sproul.
Palmer laid part of the blame for
high prices on labor, saying:
"I venture the assertion that if men
would work ten per cent more, prices
would be at least 20 per cent lower!
Poor Hardest Hit
"If we can Btop this vicious circle
increased wages, increased prices
and Increased cost of production,
chasing each other around, as a dog
chases its tail and hold the line
steady, prices will drop, Just as sure as
a gun is Iron." '
Palmer emphasized that classes of
the population hardest hit by high
prices are widows and orphans living
on income estates and millions of sal
aried workers whose income, he said,
always is the last to Increase.
"High prices," he said, "are used
as a justification in many instances
for demands for Increased wages, yet
I sometimes doubt if it Is a good jus
tification, because while there may be
individual Instances where it is not
true, still as a whole the wages of
liibor have Increased more in the last
four or five years than has the cost
of living.
' Wages are Relative
"The man who works for wages,
therefore, is not the worst hit and he
will not suffer In any respect if his
wages do not increase beyond the in
creases In the cost of living. After
all, a man's wages are not what he

Wilson Says Brown Fired
First Shot (n Quarrel In
Which Latter Was Killed
Marysville, Cal.; Nov. 6.--Declarations of District At
torney Ray Manwell that Charles Brown, wealthy young
sheep raiser, was murdered. as a result of the rage of "a
woman scorned," were answered today by Fred J. Wilson,
who said Brown fired the first shot in the quarrel that re
sulted m his death.
Wilson, a newspaperman V San
Francisco and New York, is the hus.
band of Mrs. . Gertrude Wilson, who,
with Frank A. McCormick, her brother
are held in jail although no charges
are against them.
Manwell has said he is merely wait
ing for the formality of the inquest to
night to file murder charges against
the pair. He said Mrs. Wilson incited
her. brother to kill Brown after Brown
had jilted her and made love to her
younger sister.
Attorneys for McCormick have filed
habeas corpus proceedings, and Judge
E. P. McDaniel has issued a writ re
turnable at 10 a. m. tomorrow.
"Brown fired the first shot in the
quarrel that resulted in his death,"
said Wilson. "The defense will pro
duce Wesley Potts, a carpenter, who
will testify that Brown fired several
shots at McCormick before the latter
obtained a rifle.
"Brown's associate, Arvin Ward, Is

them jointly with the murder
of his brother.
not telling the truth when he says
Brown had no gun,
Wilson said McCormick went to
Brown's cabin to remonstrate with him
over an alleged insult to Mrs. O. X
Howard, McCormick's younger sister,
Wilson said Brown became excited and
struck McCormick In the face several
times. McCormick then took Brown
by the throat and choked him severely,
according to Wilson.
It was then, according to Wilson,
that Brown followed McCormick and
began shooting.
"The motive Is the age old one of
the woman scorned," said District At
torney Manwell. .
PROHIBITIONISTS
T
LIFTING OF WAR BAN
Washington, Nov. 6 Prohibitionists
in congress today moved to prevent
President Wilson from raising the war
time liniinr ban.
Believing that Wilson intends to end
war prohiujtion as soon as the peace
i treaty is ratified. the aggressive dry
plemfmt , the houBej Jed by Repre-
sentative Randall, California, laid its
plans to checkmate him, it was learn
ed. '
Without waiting for the president to
act, the drys will ask that the war
time prohibition law be extended six
months after the proclamation of
peace. This would make war time pre
hiibtioh overlap constitutional prohibi
tion. '
Randall today declared his intention
of seeking this extension through nn
amendment to the bill to extend for
six months the Lever food and fuel con
trol act, as requested by Attorney Gen
eral Palmer. '
The unrest throughout the country
has caused many members to question
advisability of lifting the war ban.
More serious disorders would result If
saloon were re-opened, they think.
Should congress fail to extend the
war time ban, Randall said he plans to
risk the ways and means committee to
recommend a prohibitive tax on sale of
liquor during the wet period. The
present tax on bonded spirit at $6.40 ajsueh as salesmen or any other craft,

Although Portland just began its

Pact Today, f ,
, Washington, Nov. , 6. -Consideration
of reservations to the peace
treaty began in the senate today.
The preamble requiring assent
by exchange of notes of three
allied powers to the reservations -was
taken up first. )
Before rcservatloiis wore taken .
up attempts by treaty supporters
to- obtain a vote oh unqualified
ratification were blocked by obi
jeetlon of anti-treaty senators. X
' Washington, Nov. 6. (United
Press.) Senator Hitchcock, dem
ocratic . leader, 'unexpectedly
moved today for a vote on the
treaty without qualifications.
Ayes and noes were demanded.
Senator Lenroot,. Wisconsin, nsked
that the motion be amended so that in
case it was defeated the treaty would
still be before the senate.
Senator Fall, New Mexico, obtained
the. floor and indicated he might ob
ject to Hitchcock's request; although
his first words did not -state this spe
oiflcally. roll is opposed,
Vice-President Marshall dictated to
til o stenographer a statement adding'
to Hitchcock's proposal for a vote as
follows:
"If the treaty is rejected the senate
will take up its consideration again as
though a vote had hot been Jaken at
all." "
Fall declared that the rules required
the senate to vote on the motion of the
foreign relations committee, This con
struction would make Hitchcock's mo
tion out of order. - '"..-.-
"Such a motion is entirely out of
order," Fall said.. .. . .
Fall then offered formal objection
to Hitchcock's motion.
"It Is ridiculous," Fall declared.
"We are playing with the entire sub
ject. There is no necessity for viola
tion of all the rules of the senate."
Scene Dramatic One. ,
' It was the most dramtlc moment of
the entire fight. Senators rushed in
from cloak rooms. Galleries filled
quickly and house members rushed
over to the senate side.
Senator Underwood, Alabama,
amended the Hitchcock motion so that
the senate proper and not the commlt-
lee of the whole would vote on straight

tionr

FM SECOND CLINIC
fOR BASES OF QEV
At a meeting in the Commercial
club auditorium this afternoon, the
Salem chapter of the Oregon Con
gress of Mothers made the final ar
rangements for the next baby clinic,
which will be held two weeks from
today, November 20. One of the
principle matters of business taken
up was the plan for securing the
necessary equipment with which to
conduct these monthly clinics. What
is most needed ut present is a pair
of scales, and steps will be taken to
obtain them in time for the next
tests.
Ten Now Registered.
Seventy-five babies were registered
last week, of which only sixty-five
were examined, thus leaving Jen
children who are already registered
for the 20th, The women In charge
suggest that those mothers wishing
to enter their babies would telephone
Mrs. John Carson, Mrs. E. E. Fisher
or Mrs. Vori Eschen, and register
them before hand. They will be sent
a card, which they should bring with
them when they come. This will
avoid a rush on the day of the clinic
and assure the child of Its examina
tion. One Scores Perfect.
Of the sixty-five children exam
ined last week only one scored 100
per cent nnd very few were above
98. 'The lowest score was 88.' The
chapter is very pleased with this fact,
as it proves that the women appre
elated that sound and important ad-
held particularly for ailing babies,
and their object Is to bring the stand-
ard of Salem children to the highest
possible tests.

Sixth Day Sees
Strikers Completely In
Firm Deadlock
Washington, Nov. 6. Issuance of a court order com
manding of ficials of the United Mine Workers union to
withdraw the strike order will be urged upon Judge An
derson in Indianapolis Saturday by Judge Ames, assistant
attorney gneeral.
Ames was to leave Washington for
Indianapolis late today.
He will argue that the strike is a con-
spiraoy against the government under
the food and fuel act and that as such
the . union officially acted illegally In
Issuing the strike order. '
Issuance of this order was requested
ti. the application for a temporary In
junction filed with the federal court
at Indianapolis Friday. The brief
reached here today. '
The application asks "that the court,
after notice to and hearing of the de-
mendants, issue its temporary injunc
tion pendate lits enjoining the defend
ants and all other persons from con
spiring, combining, agreeing, etc., and
"commanding them to Issue a with
drawal and cancellation of said strike
order." . .

Washington, Nov. 6-The coal strike
situation was completely deadlocked
on this, the sixth day of the walkout.
There were Indications that the first
pinch of a fuel shortage was being felt.
Demands for immediate delivery of
coal poured Into the railroad adminis
tration offices here from schools, fac
tories, governors, mayors and local of
ficials in all parts of the country.
Train Service Cut.
Railroads were reported cumns
down their train service to the mini
mum. The government was making no ap
parent move toward mediation following-
the announcement of the depart
ment of justice that the Injunction
against the strike would not be with
drawn, i Operators replying to the gov
ernment's contention that the settle-,
ment of the. strike is a private ques
tion which is up to them and the min
ers again made clear they are willing
to negotiate provided the strike order
Is withdrawn.
"We cannot negotiate as long as the
injunction 'remains valid," was the
stand of Edgar Wallace Washington
representative of the strikers who went
out Saturday and still are out.
Few Miners Return,
Few miners are returning to work,
according to reports to both the opera
tors and the government.
Mean while, the public which the
government sought to protect by the
injunction, is being forced to get along
on the four millions tons weekly which
IB 0,000 non-union miners are getting
out, plus the tonnage being doled out
by the railroad administration from
the reserve supply that was on hand
when the strike began Saturday.
Emergency Causing Dry Law

New York, Nov. 8. (United Press.)

that the emergency which made war

Congress Laying Plans to
Adjourn Without Passing
Reconstruction Measures
By Raymond Clapper.
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Nov. 6. Congress is preparing to ad
journ without enacting any big reconstruction measures.
It has been defintely decided by sen-1
ate leaders that no raoN domestic leg-
islation of Importance can be Put!H I H Villi I H lAHril
through at this session. They hope to ; UHLLHtJ I UU III I HllLII
finish the peace treaty next week and
go home for a fortnight's vacation be
fore the regular session opens Decem
ber 1.
This will leave undisposed the big
reconstruction measures providing for
the peace time military policy, reor
ganization of the railroads and the
tariff.
House leaders are still fighting for
k taction on the railroad bills but the
disposition of the senate interstate
sk commerce committee to abandon the
Cummins bill until next session dash-
es that hope.
Th'e army program Is in a similar
situation. Hills have been introduced,
hearings held, but no bill can be put
through until probably after the Christ
mas holidays.
Ttarif f legislation has struck a snag.
The house has passed several bills to
protect the dye industry and other in-
dustries likely to be hit by European
competition. These have bumped up
'against th stone wall of the' senate,
however.
