WITH CALLAil OVER FISH BILL 1TET)F0TvD MAIL THOMAS CLASHES One Way to Get Cash (From the Portlnnil Journal.") STATK CAI'lTOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 24. Kuoiudi metaphorical nitrogly cerine was pmuvil over last night's deliberations of the house fisheries committee to blow the whole legisla ture to penlilion. It started, centered and developed around II. II. 120, in troduced by Thomas nnd designed to prohibit seines and set nets at the mouth of the Itogue river. Spreading out, it engulfed witnesses and mem bers of the eommiltee. liodoriek L. Mnclcny of Portland was the iii target for the speakers, da the '"outside," save for a handful of persona! supporters, he had no de fense from the onslaught; but on the "inside,'' Committeeman C'allan pud liis companion member from Multuo in Mann, led a valiant, if sonicwhci J'iille, defense. 'Tuns Hot Session, Generalization occupied most n" (lie spotlight, although in clashes with tiie committee nnd between member.-, ami witnesses n couple came nearly getting down to brass tacks. Thomas and Chairman licllnnd, on one side, ami C'allan and Mann on the other, engaged in lively tilts. I)elate gut so warm a( one period that Thomas hotly replied to an im putation by Cnllan: "Mr. Maeleay seems to have more attorneys under pay on the 'inside' (the committee) than he does on the 'outside'.'' The member from Multnomah seem ed to take this as a personal affront and started to reply : "I'll take exception '' "Xo Time to Quarrel." "We haven't got time to quarrel be tivcen"ursclvcs,'' cut in the chairman. "I didn't mean anything personal," said Thomas. The matter was drop ped. C'allan at the lime had been diroct iag a lew hot shots at ('.

During his marks be declared that the Muolonv interests bail about evcrv ntlomev in the county employed, directly or in directly. It was nt this juncture Mint Mr. .Maeleay anise with: "Mr. Chairman, haven't T any Tights here? Is the man going to be nllowc! to attack me with false state ments without my having n chanco to defend myself?" Cnlbui Makes Signs. As the chairman began to inform him as to his rights, Cnllan indicated clearly with motions nnd inaudible words that he would take care of Mr. Machijfv. The witness seemed to have full faith in his supports, for he sat down without further delay. After this verbal bomb had spent its force, Mr. Iluffington desired to know where he had misstated the facts. Itcfore Mr. Maeleay could re ply, Mr. Thomas took the burden of defense from Mr. ISuffington by ask ing: "Mr. Maeleay, isn't it a fact that the district attorney of Curry county was employed by you when he went out of of lice? ' "N'o," said Mr. Maeleay. Thomas and Mr. Iluffington simul tancously proceeded to refre-h hi memory. j "If he wasn't, then all the data I Frnvc collected in the past year and a half is talse, said Thomas. "Didn't he handle a ease for von while he was district attorney? quired Mut'fington. "Yes," replied Mr. Maclcav, after slight hesitation. ffluslcny Flint 'Witness.

Addressing a meeting last night In connection with the war loan campaign Andrew lionur Law, chancellor of the ec- chequer, and member of the Hritlsh war council, made the following ro ply to President Wilson's speech to the Vnted States senate: "The end of the war is peace. The Germans made us what they have called an offer of peoee. It received from the allied governments the re ply which it deserved the only peo ples reply. '.Most of you, however, I presume, read the speech by President Wilson which appeared in yesterday's pa pers. It is a frank speech and it Is right that any member of one of the allied governments who refers to it should speak with equal frankness. It is impossible that ho and wo can look on it from tho same point of view. 'At tho very outbreak of the war, the Germans swept aside every one of these barriers. They tore up treaties, which they themselves solemnly sign ed. They strewed mines in the open sea.

'All this has been done and no neutral power has been able to stop it. 'Xo neutral power, indeed, has made ony protest against It. Wo must then take other means to secure t;he future peace of the world. "We havo rejected the German offer to enter Into negotiations, not from lust of conquest or desire for shining victories. We have rejected it not from a spirit of vlndlctlveness or a desire for revenge, but because j peace now would mean a peace based I on victory, it would ne a peace which would leave the military ma- chine unbroken, with halo of success surrounding It. It would leave the control.of Hint machine in the hands of the same men wiio for a genera tion prepared for war, who would make, tho same preparation again and who would choose their own time to plunge the world into the horrors which we arc now enduring.

In a stntc nient given out today, Cardinal Gib bons expresses Hie hope that Presi dent Wilson will veto the immigration hill. The cnrdinal's statement fol lows: "It is disappointing lo many thoughtful citizens t hat the immigra tion bill has passed both houses of congress. Ity this measure illiterates will in the future be excluded from entrance into this country. It is to He hoped that Air. Wilson will act with the same good judgment, as he has done on a former like occasion and veto the hill. Similar bills have been vetoed by preceding presidents, who have been cognizant of the harm ful effect this test of literncy would have upon desirable iiiimigrutinn. "Illiteracy should not be confound ed with ignorance. There is an old axiom' which reads, 'intellectual at tainments are not the test of virtue.' Many of the most dangerous members of the community nre men of keen nnd trnined intellect, but of depraved morals. The normal sturdy illiterate has a receptive mind, capable of early dcvolopnienl. Had Ihc lniled States refused such illiterates from the be ginning of our government, our coun try would have lost the benefit of their virtue, tbritt, industry nnd en terprising spirit. And the descend ants of such forbears are an honor to their fathers and it credit nnd an asset lo our country, for they hnve been rapidly incorporated and identi fied with the native population by the' assimilating process of education and j t ic common use of the Knglish tongue, i In consequence of this, it would he i hard to differentiate the children of i foreign immigrants from those of nn- tivo American parents."

I'nder the introduction and first rending of new hills, a bill was introduced by n ma jority of the fisheries committee, be ing a substitute bill for the three Kogue' river bills now pending with the committee. Xo sooner had the hill been rend than Kepreseutalive Calluii of Mult-, noiunh, and a member of the fisheries committee, jumped lo the floor and dciiuiuded to know by what right the bill had to be introduced, lie was in formed Hint the hill bad the indorse ment of a majority of the fisheries committee, and that sumo hud been introduced by them, lie then de manded Hint the bill be withdrawn, us he was a member of the committee and had not been given a voice in the matter. His request was overruled nnd the bill was permitted to take its place on the calendar. Immediately upon the adjournment of the session Hepresentative Callan aecosled Hepresentative Thomas and demanded lo know by what right the hill had to have been introduced. Mr. Thomas informed him Hint the bill was signed by a majority of the mem bers of the committee, and that nil the members of the committee, including Mr. Cnllan, had been informed at the meeting last night Hint it was the plan of the committee to introduce the substitute bill. With this statement, Mr. Callan called Mr. Thomas a liar, and Mi'. Thomas came hack, calling him n liar, nnd had it not been for the interception of other members stand ing close by it might have ended in a serious clash, as both members were preparing to "mix it." Mr. Thomas told Mr. Callan that if he had uny grievance to make to go to the chairman of the committee and not come lo him, whereupon Mr. Cnl lan meandered away, looking for the chairman, Mr. P.elland. Mr. Callun is latterly opposed to any kind of legislation nl'fceling the fishing nt the mouth of the river. The members signing Hie majority. report were I'clland, Sweeney, Anderson nnd Thomas. Those not signing were llel lanfl and Tiebeuor. HALF OF OREGON'S SAI.K.M, .Inn. 25.
