OF
Geneva, Feb. 6. (By Aasoctat
ed Press) The American dele
gation today announced Its with
drawal from the international
opium conference because it had
been made evident that the pur
poses for which tbe conference
was called could not be accom
plished.
The American decision came a:
ft stunning blow to all the dele
gates. Wbile It bad been thought
that the representatives of tbe
United States would not sign the
. anti-narcotic convention now com
pleted, the general expectation
had been that they would remain
until the end and then announce
they would consider the question
of signature.
The American break away from
the conference apparently does
not mean its collapse, as at an of
ficlal meeting of the most im
portant of its commissions todny
the trend of the speeches
that while the American decision
was keenly regretted, the work
must be pushed on and practical
results achieved if possible.
Although It was at first
nounced thai the Americans
would leave Geneva tonight, Mr.
Porter stated later that he wouU
not depart before tomorrow.
District pttorneys in Oregon
would receive a general Increase

house this morning. Approximate

The Increase would be taken care

as follows:
"Expect crest at Salem 21 or 22

The river at 2 p. m. today had

TAKE WEEK END
T
Week-end adjournment of the
two houses of the legislature will
be taken this afternoon until Mon
day morning in spite of tbe at
tempts of house members to keep
grinding on the accumulated griat
of bills over Saturday. Opponea's
of adjournment plan to test their
strength on the adjournment mo
tion. No action on the resolutions
proposing ratification of the fc l
eral child labor amendment will
be taken by the legislature befare
the latter part of next week, it be
came apparent today.
Two resolutions proposing rati
fication are in committee, ona iti
the house and one in the senate. In
the senate the committee members
are pretty equany divided, tut
there is no inclination to report
the bill out until tbe house has
acted.
Indications are that the resolu
tion in the house wiil come out of
the committee with a favornhio
report, and with the recommenda
tion that the ratification proposal
be referred to the people at the
next general election.
Chances for ratification with
the referendum proviso are con-
sdiered bright In both houses.

Constantinople, Feb. 6. (By
Associated Press.) The Turkisu
government today handed to the
Greek charge d'affaires in Angara
its reply to the Gieett note rescu
ing the expulsion from Constanti
nople of the Most Rev. Comtun
tinos, ecumenical patriarch of th?
Greek Catholic church.
The reply rejects the suggestion
that the dispute be referred to the
International court at The Hague,
insists that the question is pure
ly internal and declares that any
intervention by outside powera
will be intolerable.
It Is believed here that the pow
ers will counsel moderation in or

the election of a patriarch not
within the category of those liable
to deportation under minority
populations provisions of, tue

BY MITCHELL
Army Aerial Chief Says
. War and Navy Depart
ments Hamper Aviation
And Testify Falsely.
Washington, Feb. 6 Brigadier
General Mitchell assistant chief of
the army air service, Informed
Secretary Weeks today that he be
lieved "the present war depart
ment organization and Its adminis
tration quite incapable of creating,
handling or administering air pow
er In an efficient manner."
In the letter relying to a request
from the war secretary for all
facts upon which the assistant army
chief based recent statements,
"seriously reflecting" on the army's
air arm. General Mitchell said he
was convinced the system of air
craft management In operation In
the United States "la detrimental
to the country's good and will ser
iously compromise our national de
fense should an emergency arise."
The general's letter was placed
before the house aircraft commit
tee, which had met to hear both
General Mitchell and Brigadier
General Drum of the army general
staff.
"The general view of the war de
partment," General Mitchell wrote,
"is to limit the ability of aviation
In a military way and in spite of
the findings of the Joint army and
navy board, in spite of the most
conclusive evidence of every coun
try in the world, the navy depart
ment still appears before con grew
and still testifies Incorrectly and
gives the Impression that the air
craft are of limited powers against
battleships.
"The resistance of the war de
partment to the creation of an in
dependent aeronautical personnel
is Insistent and constant.
"I have fully criticized the sys
tem now in operation, which I am
convinced Is detrimental to the
country's good and which will ser
iously compromise our national
defense should an emergency
nrlse."
General Mitchell said since the
war "$433,000,000 has been put In
to aviation" but that he did not be
lieve "thit the appropriations are
economically administered owing to
the dubllcation of lancT bases be
tween the army and navy." He de
clared that Major General Patrick
chief of the army air service, hnd
like himself, endorsed - "a united
air force," although such a move
Is opposed by Secretary Weeks as
well as Secretary Wilbur.

Senator Eddy's bill, which limits
the power of election of studies by
high school students and makes
provision for greater emphasis on
fundamentals, loomed todny as the
main fight In the senate, and Ed
dy had Just completed an hour's
argument for the measure when
the noon recess was taken. In his
speech Eddy attacked the course
of study in Oregon high school
studies and ttiose In control of
education as being Impervious to
new ideas or reform.
The principles of election of stud
ies and "enrichment of the curri
culum," Eddy said, have so taken
hold in the high schools that they
have made superficial the high
school education of boys and girls.
In support of his contention Sena
tor Eddy read from a report of the

A broken water pipe in the old
Washington school brought to
light a condition of the building
last evening that was described by
Officer Wiles, who went to investi
gate, as deserving investigation.
Vandals have been in the build
ing, says Wiles, and they have
stolen fixtures In addition to
wrecking nearly everything
wreckable to be found. Unused
for several months, the school was
supposedly locked tightly and se
curely, but even locks failed to
keep out persons, wh. are believed
to be boys about 14 or 15 years
old, that worked havoc with thr
lighting fixtures, broke the w.n
dows and finally ended by break
ing the end oft a water pipe am.
making a lake out of the manual
training department.
Work benches were floating
about in the flood when the jani
tor of the high school went ovir
yesterday. A stream of water
from the broken pipe was shooting
to the celling and moisture pre
vailed A huge ball of rolled extension
cords and insulated wire was
cached near a fire escape, says Of
ficer Wiles. Fixtures had been
ripped carelessly from the walls,
milk bottles were strewn abjnt
the domestic science rooms, and n
telephone Is believed to have been
stolen.
