SALEM, Fob. 13 (M-The old
i;e pension bill wan defeated. The
house of the Oregon legislature
yesterday voted down the proposal
to provide a $30 a mouth income
lo dependents past the age of 1)5
years by a vote of 38 to 21. Settle
ment of this Issue followed more
thun two hours debate.
While the house ended another
controversy of the session, the sen
ate listened to a lengtlily debate
upon the railroad bill forcing trains
to limit their length to TO cars
freight or H cars passengers. The
measure was upproved by just
enough votes to carry it through.
It now goes to the house.
The pension bill was taken tip
under special order of business
niter an attempt to postpone con
sideration' uiitjli another pension
provision passed earlier in the day
by the senate came before the
house. The move, made by Ralph
Hamilton was lost. The senate
measure, Introduced by B. L. Eddy,
provides for an interim committee
to investigate the old age pension
situation over the state as to its
advisability. It was approved, with
but three negative votes, following
more than an hour's discussion In
the senate chamber.
Earl Bronaugh, author of the old
age pension plan, opened discus
sion for the proposal on the
grounds that it was time Oregon
was doing something to care for its
aged. The period of poor farms,
he suld, had passed, and unless
something better was offered he
asked the legislature to approve
this plan. The cost, he stated would
be less than the cost of operating
poor farms.
Opposition to the measure was
voiced by several representatives
on the grounds that It would add
another burden upon the taxpay
ers, that the pensions would not
eliminate need for poor farms,
would benefit many . unworthy
parties, and it Is a tendency to
ncourage socialism. Proponents
'argued the present unemployment
' situation, caused by modern ma
chine methods, made it imperative
lhat come means be taken to care
for the untortunatos.
Those voting for the pension hill
.(.were Representatives Allen, Ander
'son, Andrews, Angell, Urdnaugh,
Bynon. DeLap, Eckley, Hellberg,
Hill, Howard, Keasey, Lawrence,
ijee, Lewis, Manning, McAllister,

CORNELIUS
PROCLAIMS
Vanderbilt, in Statement,
Says Mussolini Yarn Was
'Mere Squib' 'to What
General Butler Said at
Lecture Threatens Suit.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13. (?)
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., today ;
told his version of the Mussolini ;
hit-run story for which Major .
General Smedley D. Butler was !
ordered to face court martini, and '
asserted the anecdote would have i
"proved merely a squib compared j
to issues which testimony taking;
would have made public" had the
court martial not been called off.
Vanderbilt said General Butler
"took . a story of mine, twisted it
around to score a point for him
self, and made me tho goat."
"Testimony I would have given
at Butler's court martial," Vander
bilt said, "would have brought out ;
statements made by the general .
at a gathering of members of tho j
American Affiliated Lecture Bu
reau last November. : - I
"These statements," he said,,
concerned "failure of a foreign
power to live up to the terms of
the naval pact entered into last :
year between the United States, :
Great Britain and Japan." f
Vanderbilt said the third speak- i
er at the November meeting of the '
lecture bureau in New York, at '.
which he and Butler spoke, was '
"an official of a foreign govern- ,
mont.'
Vanderbilt's story of the Musso
lini Incident was as follows:
"I was riding with Mussolini,
who drove. A small child ran in ;
front of the machine at a sharp ;
turn In the road and waa hit. I
looked back to see if the child was
hurt. Mussolini placed his hand i
on my knee and said 'Never look I
back, Vanderbilt, always look
ahead in life.' " .
Butler heard the story in a con
fidential meeting, Vanderbilt said.
"If I had been called to the
stand I should have been prepared
with 40 affidavits from persons
bearing me out in my contention
that General Butler misquoted me.
I should have been forced to tell
what the other two speakers. In
cluding General Butler, Bald in
November.
"One overt act on, t,he part of
General Butler will result in my
filing a legal action that will bring
all these facts to light. I will not
sue to collect monetary damages.
Tho suit will be for the purpose
of disclosing the manifold angles
arising out of the Mussolini Inci
dent, and the other issues."
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. (P)
Major General Smedley D. Butler
of the marines could not be reach
ed today at his Quantlco, Va., post
but his counsel, Major Henry
Leonard, said ho had heard noth
ing of Cornelius Vanderbilt's re
ported plans to sue Butler if there
is "one overt act" on tho latter's
part.

PLANT LICE PEST
AS ROSE MENACE
It will soon be Spring and we
will find plant-lice apparently loaf
ing about over our rose-bushes.
They over-run fruit trees, dwarfing
the fruit Into grotesque, unnatural
shapeB or curling the leaves in
permunent waveB.
In the garden they reduce tho
potatoes and other Innocent vege
tables to a deplorable state of
health. The tiny nuisances hud
dle together as if for mutual sup
port, their heads close to the plant
and their bodies raised awkwardly
on six slender legs.
Though they may appear to be
Idling about, they are very busy
sucking the life-blood or sap from
the plant on which they live. All
day long they suck away, plunging
their beaks Into tho helpless plants
and filling their tiny plump bodies
with plant Juice,
The head ot the aphis bears a
pair of compound eyes of many
facets, and, for good measure, us
ually has throe simple eyeB or
ocelli, In addition. A pair of feel
ers or antennae adorn the head
also. The three-to-six Jointed sen
sory organ or apparatus Is attached
to the front of the head below the
eyes.
Then comes the rostrum or beak.
This is formed Into a slender sort
of four-or-flve Jointed split tube,
accompanied by lancets which are
used to do the the actual piercing.
This convenient drill and siphon
Booms to arise from between the
front legs and Is an Invention that
has made the sucking insects notor
ious. They take so much Juice that
after passing through their bodies
it oozes out again. This overflow
of Juice, falling on the stems ond
leaves of plnnts or trtcs, covers
them with this sticky, glutinous
substance. It is often called honey'
dew and Is the result of a digestive
process within the aphid a body.
Been, ants, butterflies and flics are
very fond of this boney-dew.
