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 ('. II. lluffing
lon, district attorney of .Curry coun
ty, who appeared to indorse the
Thomas measure at the request, he
said, of his constituents. 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.

Cnllan again cmue to his rescue by
brinL'ing out the fact that the district

FOR PEACE LEAGUE
mtlSTOU .lan. 25. 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. Tliey comnuttert every atrocity nounced tonight that he had aj.iprov

had signed. They made war on. worn- tal murder oi two children, following
en ojid children. They .destroyed a series of degenerate acts, which
neutrals ns ruthlessly as they did , had terrorized the South Boston and
their enemies. They are at this mo- Dorchester districts of this city. He
ment driving the population of con-1 was sentenced to be hanged, bv.t bc
quercd territory Into slavory, and, j cause of his y iiith. the soiitende w as
worse than that, they are making
some of the subjects of their enemies
take up arms against their own coun
try. '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.
"Our aim is the same as President
Wilson. What be is longing for .i
are fighting for. Our sons and broth
ers are risking their lives for it, anil
we mean to secure It. The hearta
of the people of this country arc

who has been for forty-one yfeurs In
solitary confinement in the state
prison at Charlestown, was granted
equal privileges with other prisoners
by the state executive council' today.
Convicted of murder nt l.'i, Poineroy,
two years later was locked u.v In a
cell lighted from a window Jin the
ceiling so that he might ncj.t garo

apart from the other prisoners' and
barred, as far as possible frcmn un
man companionship. Two yej.ra ago
the sentence was enforced lest rigor
ously to accord with modern lcleaa of
prison reform. He was alloweM more
opportunities Tor exercises ill. ..the

Now at the ago of B7, Pomeroy will

But he did not drop out of the

HAL.T1MORK, Jan. 25. 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

SAl.KM, Or., Jan. 2.I. At yester
day afternoon's session of the house,
the Hogue river fish figbl again was
the cause of u sensation. 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.
