Relief Legislation Any
Preference.
Washington, June 19. Senate
republicans in conference today
voted 30 to 9 against laying aside
the tariff bill to consider the sol
diers' bonus.
A resolution favoring final dis
position of both the tariff bill and
the bonus measure at this session
and before any recess then was
adopted 27 to 11. The bonus
measure would be made the unfin
ished business after the final vote
on the tariff.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Mas
sachusetts, after learning of the
action of the republican confer
ence, said a move to bring up the
bonus would be made in the sen
ate after the passage of the pend
ing naval appropriation bill. -McC
umber Defeated.
Chairman McCumber of the fi
nance committee, no has cbarge
of both pieces of legislation, made
a final effort to put the bonus
ahead, but his motion mustered
only 9 votes. He also was author
of the resolution proposing final
disposition of the tariff with the
bonus then to be made the unfin
ished, business of tne senate. Tuts
resolution was opposed by 11 re
publicans, counted as opponents
of the adjusted compensation
measure.
A number of republican sena
tors, including Johnson of Cali
fornia and Lafollette of Wiscon
sin, who favor speedy action on
the bonus, absented themselves
from the conference. A number of
democratic senators also desire
early disposition of the bonus and
it may be that a move will be
made on the floor to override the
program of the republicans, which
has the approval of President
Harding.

William Sproule, president of
the Southern Pacific company, to
day issued the following state
ment, "Where Is Oregon's Inter

would be affected by the threaten
ed separation of Central Pacific
aud Southern Pacific properties
which have been under a single
control since 1870:
With reference to desire of the
Union Pacific to acquire the Cen
tral Pacific, It may fairly be set
down by the people of Oregon as
the intention of government that
public interest shall prevail over
the self-interest of either of the
roads concerned. The public is
interested in the best railway
service, given with the greatest
convenience to them. Let us see
what this means for western and
southern Oregon, served by South
ern Pacific.
Traffic Is Coastal.
1 That the business of Ore
gon is not as a primary matter
east and west bound is shown by
the fact that in 1921 only 18 per
cent of the car the Southern Pa
cific handled in Oregon were giv
en that company by shippers for
delivery to railroad lines east of
Portland for destinations beyond.
This is less than one-fifth of the
business. :
In the reverse direction the
ars received by the Southern Pa
cific at Portland from its rail con
netclons were but 21 per cent.
This is slightly over one-fifth of
the business.
"The markets for so large a por
tion of the products of western
and southern Oregon are in the
Pacific coast group of Btate, par
ticularly California and those
markets the people of Oregon now
reach through a single carrier
without interruption or complications.

STATE RESTS IN
TRIAL OF SMALL
AFTER 9 WEEKS
Waukegan, 111,, June 19. (By
Associated Press.) The prosecu
tlon today rested Its case against
Governor Len Small, on trial tor
conspiracy to defraud the state of
public moneys during his tenure
of office as stats treasurer, after
nine weeks of testimony.
Attorneys for the governor Im
mediately announced that they
would offer no evidence, and rest
ed their case upon the presenta
tion ot prosecution. The move was
so much or a surprise that a re
cess was necessary to allow the
prosecution time to prepare Its
closing arguments. Three weeks,
It had been anticipated, would be
required for the rebuttal testi
mony.
At the afternoon session the de
fense moved that a large part of
the state's evidence be stricken
from the record. The state asked
for a recess to study the motion
before starting arguments on It.
One count of the motion of the
defense moves that all the state's
evidence be stricken out, another
challenge is 250 of the 800 or more
state exhibits, while' others attack
every Important part of the prose
cution's testimony.
Governor Small this afternoon
Issued the following statement:
"They have not proven a single
dishonest act against me, or any
thing that la In violation of law
And their own testimony showed
that every dollar deposited was re
turned to the state treasury In
full and that I turned in twice as
much interest as any of my pre
decessors."

"As you are an acknowledged
member ot the Ku Klux Klan this
is to advise you that you are
hereby removed as a member ot
the state board ot chiropractic
examiners and your successor will
be appointed forthwith," the gov
ernor has written to Ellsworth.
"This action Is taken under tha
provisions of section No. 4045,
Oregon laws, and is tor the good
of the service."
The governor's move to purge
the state payroll ot Klansmen was
started Immediately after the pri
mary election when C. E. Gates ot

ber ot the state fair board "for the -
good of the service," Gates being
an avowed member of the Klan.
It was Intimated at that time that
the removal of Gates was only the
