TAKLS, April S. OP) The gov-1
ernment's majority of two, recordv 1 '
in n vote of confidence in the senate
today later disappeared when two
senators declared their votes wrongly
entered in the records. The vote of
confidence of 142 to 1-10 stands as of
ficially announced but Premier Her
riot as tsoon ns be heard of the
changes, summoned a cabinet meeting
for 0:30 p. in. to consider the ministry
situation and whether his resignation
should be offered.
In the lobbies Of the chamber of
deputies the meeting of the cabinet
was widely interpreted ns meaning
that the ministry would resign tonight.
1'reiiuer Herriot arrived in tbv
senate unexpectedly and when se j
ate's finnnce committee opposed the
government's proposed appropriation
for secondary educational soholarship
he put the question of confidence,
complaining that the finance commit
tee bad shown him marked hostility
during the pant two dnys. The pre.-u-d?nt
of the finance committee replied
that the committee wan only seeking
economics and Senator Iierenfiar, to
whose disclosures yesterday the pr.i
mien words evidently referred, de
clared there was nothing political In
the fiuame committee's action. The
vote of confidence was taken during
the greatest excitement.
With many gayly decorated win
dows in the business dit-trict and large
stocks of Kaster merchandise on hand
Eugene dealers nre all prepared to
meet this annual call of purchasers at I
the annual spring sea sun which is ex
pected to surpass all other similitr
periods judging by present indication.
Easter Sunday which has alwnvs
been regarded as the appropriate day
for the display of new spring raiment
will this year be a very colorful evenr
in this city of the feminine styles now
being displayed by merchants, ami
eagerly Bcanned by prospective buy
ers, Is a criterion of what will be th?
prevailing mode for the day of ob
servance. Local shops that cater to the fem
inine demand are reporting that then;
has been n heavy early call for mil
linery, hats, footwenr and the other
weariug npparel essential to the WCil
dressed woman.
Although mere man is not regarded
;s a very essential part of the dis
play on Kaster there Is evidence that
Eugene masculinity is to make an ef
fort this year to retrieve prestige a
one of attraction of tho Easier per
iod. The demand for new spring suits
bears witness to the fact that local
men are not to be outdone by their
mothers, wives, sjsters, or sweet
hearts when it comes to a Bpriug dis
play of finery. The masculine pur
chasers are spending considerable
time in selection of colorful ties, hoso
and shirts nnd the bats and footwear

The plan, which McN'ury lieilcve, will
eliminate log rolling in congress, em
lirnics all forms of reclamation In all
parts of the country, Including drain
age of swamp lauds.
The senator announced tUflt he
would propose establishment by con

$3r0,000,000 to $300,000,000 to capi
talize reclamation projects approved
by the secretary of the interior and
incorporated under the laws of the
state or states in which they might
be situated.-
Thc plan would contemplate the is

Present Source in Willam
ette Polluted; Chemical
Treatment Used
McKenzie Supply Would
Reduce Treatment to a
Minimum
Shall Eugene's water supply be the
polluted Willamette river, or the Mc-
Kenile river, tha purest available
source of water In the county?
This Is the question to be decided
upon by taxpayer! at the special elec
tion April 15, when they vote on the
$3TS,000 bond measure for building
the new line to Hayden bridge on the
McKenzie, according to C. A. Mc-
Claln, superintendent of the city
water beard.
"The McKenzie assures Eugene of
an unlimited supply of pure water,
saya Mr. McClain. It has from two
to three times the supply of water at
low flow as the Willamette. At low
flow the water Is badly polluted, and
niust romiire careful chemical treat
ment, Tho McKenzie would reduce
treatment to a minimum.''
Health and Safety
Tho question is one of public
health and safety, and not of finances,
.Mr. JlcClnin points out. He declares
the new line will pay for Itself, and
there will be no burden on the tax
payer. Figures compiled by the super
intendent show that, when spread
over a period of 30 years, the added
cost to each water consumer would
not exceed $3 per year, or 25 cents a
month. This is figured by estimating
the growth of the city to an average
of 8000 customers a year during this
time, and dividing the total cost of the

Dorothy ElUngson, lT-year-old
slayer of her mother, took tho wit
ness stand in anporlor court hero thio
morning at her trial for sanity. Jndgo ;
Ixmderback eattsfled himself that tho
defendant understood tho nature of
an oath beforo ho allowed her to bo
sworn.
Tho court then informed tin girl j
that aho would not bo forced to an J
ewer any question whieh might in
criminate her. Assistant District At-
torley Harmon Bklllin then began to
Interrogate the wltneaa. Ho aaked her
categorical questions where tho
county Jail was, tho names of her at- j
torneya, whore they were Beated. Sho
gave her reaponsea in low but clear
voice, answering every query tersely
Tolls of Charge,
"Are you charged with any criminal
act!" Inquired tho prosecutor.
"I am," said the girl. -"What
Is that charge?"
"Murder.f . - . : .
The; examination proceeded with a
test of the! girl's knowledge, of tho
legal procedure that culminated In tho

With reference to tho charts of j

tho Jury in such a case to find bar :
guilty or not guilty and if tho verdict
wore guilty ahe would go to prison.

counsel, then put his client through
stiff cross-examination. Ho aaked
her why aha threw water at him in

"Because,'' she explained, "numer
ous things have been brought out ia
this court that wsro not true."
Response Is Calm
When Mr. McAtee went into events
following tho death of her mother,
the girl responded cslmly.
Tho prosecution objected to "wide
scope" of tho cross-exsmination but
later withdrew the objection when tho
defense explained that its purpose
was to teat the mental competence of
the defendant.
Under another rehearsal of tho oft
repeated details surrounding the trsg

on her constitutional rigbta and re

touching on the "party" she attended
tho night after she kilted her mother.
"Why do you not wish to answer
theso questions?" asked the court.
"It might bear on my defense to

The court upheld her.
Mr. McAtee said that in view of
