A let ter recently written by the state game warden points ont a tew changes, but we most wait till the session laws are printed to know what has appened. In the state game war den's letter it Is pointed out that alter the sew game laws go into ef fect May 21, the price of game li censes will be Increased from the present rate of (1 each for the hunt ing licenses to $1.50 each. Provis ion la made that both women and men shall take out the licenses. The deer law was amended to make It unlawful to use a dog to hunt, pursue, or kill any game ani mal in the atate. and it Is also un lawful to allow any tree running dog at large in territory Inhabited by deer, or to be found following the track of any game animal in the state. The deer season in game district No. 1, which includes southern Ore gon is from August IS to October and the limit of the bag is two. Instead of three as heretofore. The open season on all migratory vlrds extends from October 1 to Jan nary 15. The Chinese pheasant hen is protected at all times. The bag limit on trout has been changed throughout the state from 75 to 50 trout, or 35 pounds. In any one day. Game breeders' permits will here after cost $2 instead of being issued free as heretofore.

The counties assigned to Commissioner Thompson comprise all of eastern Oregon except Kla math, Hood River and Wascoe coun ties. Petitions for highway work will be sent to Secretary Ross, at Salem, who will notify the commissioner from whose territory the application comes.

Senator Lewis, democratlo whip. tried to inject a resolution asking the senate's support of any atep the president might take. Martin, re buking Lewis, demanded withdrawal of the resolution for the present. Lewis consented. , Senator Sherman one of the two republicans who opposed the propos ed gag rule opened the morning fireworks with a bitter denunciation of President Wilson's statement that it would be useless to summon an extra session until the senate rules were revised. "The president did not stste the entire truth," Sherman declared. "He deliberately omitted a portion of the truth to convey to the publio a false impression. The president knows and the senate knows, that no fili buster could avail in event of an extra session. Only in the closing hours of a congress, where the time is limited, can a filibuster succeed. It can only last from two to four weeks, at the utmost before physical exhaustion. "I object to making a few senators the object of the president's wrath In an unfair statement," shouted Sherman. Sherman saw in the cloture amend ment what he termed a "danger." He predicted that the two-thirds clo ture amendment would in a short time be amended to a majority clo ture amendment. "The president bamed the senate for conditions," said Sherman. "I wish to remind the president .that when he seeks to blame the senate he has repeatedly ridiculed the :ourse of preparedness for our arm) and navy." Sherman digressed from "rules" i armed neutrality, denouncing tht clothing of the president with power which would permit bim to arm mu nitions ships. This, he continued, would bo tantamount to a "de facto state of war." "If the president seeks to exercise this power," Sherman said, "I stand ready to declare war." ( :ontln led from page 1.) was handed over. They agreed to pay a large amount ' each month thereafter In case of war, to enable Villa to pay his men, secure am munition and to build up his shat tered forces for a campaign. After orders from Foreign Secre tary Zimmerman reached Mexico City of an attempt to arrange an alliance with Mexico and Japan, the Villa scheme was one of the first moves. One secret agent was sent north from the capital to 8an Luis Potosl, where he met another. Prom Parral, both traveled by horseback to Bustlllo's ranch, about 40 miles west of Chi huahua City. At this point Villa was making his headquarters at that time. The Villa plan was to be used chiefly In the event of failure to in duce Carranza to enter an Intrigue against the United States and as a possible means of bringing pressure to bear on Carranza. It was hoped to Involve the de facto government and the United States In new, serious complications, making the retention of a large part of the American army along the 'border necessary. That friction between Carranza and the United States would tend to weaken the de facto power was point ed out to Villa by the German agents. Already the German cabal In the Mexican capital had set active under ground Influences to work upon the. first chief and his advisers to Indffce them to consent to an alliance. The famous note sent by Cai-ranx to the neutral powers, asking them to unite In refusing to furnish supplies to bel ligerent countries was engineered by the German propaganda. It was the original Intention to lead the first CRACKCO ana CHAPttO HANDS Dennis Euealyptus Otatmrnrt t u oe.ua eToata TuSIS 160 JS BOO chief to order the oil fields of Tarn pico to be closed to export. Tlhs was later modified to the form in which it was sent, because most of the fields are owned by English com panies and a large amount of the oil is used by the British battle fleet, and action, therefore, would have brought complications between Eng land and Mexico. Among officials in Mexico City, stories are afloat that two govern ment officials in the first chief's im mediate circle of influential men were communicating directly with German agents. Stringent censorship st all the cable and telegraph offices In Mexico prevents the sending of dispatches not approved by the government. A Bird Joker.

IS SENATE FILIBUSTER By William Jenttlugs' Bryan (Copyright 1917. by United Press) Miami, Kli Mar. S. Answev.ug your inquiry, 1 beg to call atteu'.lon to the fact that there are two quit Uons Instead of one. The first In volves the filibuster and the v.imd the merits of the proposed legisla tion. I am against filibustering aud have for several years been advocating a cloture rule In the senate. 1 be lieve In the right of the majority to rule and am sorry to learn from press dispatches that the senate Is Inclined to require a two-thirds vote for the closing of debate. A majority vote ought to be suf ficient, after each senator haa been given reasonable opportunity to ex press his views. To require a two-thirds vote Is to give to the predstory Interests the same power that they now have to prevent legislation hostile to their privileges. As long as the ruins permit a min ority to obstruct legislation, we may expect them to be employed to pre vent progressive legislation Just as they were employed two yesrs ago to enrfhle the shipping trust to de feat the president's shipping bill. Whether the senators should use the rules to defeat a proposed mea sure Is a matter entirely In the dis cretion of the senators, who are re sponsible to their constituents alone Just as the president Is responsible to the genersl public only, when he uses his veto to defeat a measure favored by a majority of the senate and house. So far as I have seen expressions from the senators nearly all of those who voted against authorising the arming of ships, did so for the pur pose of compelling an extra session of congress, or because they objected to the phraseology of the bill. Since the president has power to cull a special session of congress at any time, and ask for legislation he desires, the Jingo press will find It difficult to convince the public that there la any thing treasonable In the desire to have congress in session. Even the most warlike of the newspapers will hardly Insist upon the abolition of congress now, whatever they might have the boldness to advocate In time of war. The second question relates to the merits of the bill. So far aa I am able to Judge1, the objections urged were not giving authority to the pres ident, 'but related to the language em ployed, and surely If congresslonsl authority Is needed, the members of congress cannot be fairly denied dis cretion aa to the language to be em ployed. Everyone recognizes that the giving of authority Involves serious risks. The public has such complete con fidence in the president that congress would not hesitate to confer upon hlin any power that he could himself use, but the president cannot ride on the ships himself, or handle the guns. , He cannot even direct the man who pulls the trigger. The expert gunner will be some 1,000 miles from Washington when he carries out the authority confer red. He will not only have the ex pert's desire to test his skill, but he will be under the immediate di rection of a ship owner who may have a large pecuniary Interest In landing a contraband cargo. The president has not asked con gress to surrender to him authority to declare war; Is It strange that con gress should hesitate to put an ex pert gunner In a position where, by his mistake, or by a mistake of an Interested ship owner, he may com mit an act of war? The senate and house did not agree as to the phraseology of the pro posed bill. The senate wanted to In clude . "other Instrumentalities," which the house thought too vague a description of the power conferred. The bouse alse expected Insurance from merchant ships carrying arms and ammunition, and a minority of the house committee favored Insert ing this exception In the paragraph authorizing the arming of ships. I am heartily In sympathy with the minority of the committee that the exception should be extended to the arming of ships it well. The bill In both senate and house provided for protection of Americans only when they were lawfully on ships and It Is for congress to any what Is lawful. In my opinion, a law should 'be en acted withholding clearance from any belligerent ship carrying American passengers. American newspapers of the twenty fourth of last month con tained (he following from Halifax, N, "Ocean Barred to Woman." "Halifax, N. 8., Feb. it A num ber of women and children who ar rived hers last night on a steamship from the United States fur Nnrope were taken off today by govern ment authorities under a regulation which provides that women and children may not sail from a British port for England at present "Three American women anoard the line?, which arrived In port last night, were permitted to continue the voyage. Clearance papers were re fused until twenty-five Canadian women and children had, been remov ed. .They were taken ashore In tugs." If England will not allow British women and children to sail on a Brit ish ship bound for England, why should the United States allow Am erican women and children, or even American men, to sail on any bellig erent ships going Into the danger sonsf It will be noticed that the Hall fax dispatch says that "three Am erican women were allowed to pro ceed." Of course, the British officials had no authority to remove American women, but why should the United Statea allow a belligerent with a mu nitions cargo to sail with Am erican women and children, or even American men aboard? And why should our government permit us to bo drawn Into this war by the follies of any American cit izen who so disregards his country's welfsre aa to travel upon a belliger ent ship, whether for pleasure or for profit? FAILURE BLAMED (Continued from Page 1) ' Discussing the responsibility for the step. Unreport adjudged Lord Kitchener responsible for three weeks delay In dispatching troops to the Dardanelles, thereby "gravely compromising the probability of suc cess." The commission held, also that Kitchener did not "sufficiently uti lize the services of the general staff, resulting In confusion and lack of efficiency." Censure was expressed at the war council's failure to hold a meeting between March 19 and May 14. 1915.1 and discussed Winston Churchill's advocacy, as first lord of the admir alty, for purely naval expeditionary forces. "IjorA Kitchener," the report con tinued, "favored a purely naval at tack. The commissioners think the first lord of the admiralty (then Churchill, then the premier then Asqulth) and other conrlllors should hsve required naval advisers to sub mit rlesrly expressed views regarding the practicability of the plan." The report concludes tbey were not Justified In reaahtng a decision on the Dardanelles' plan, "without much fuller Investigation." Portland, Mar. 8.
