Dec. 10 (United News) What promlaea to be the official Indoor pnatlme of Ihe sen ate thlH winter, the hackllnK of Vice I'reeldent Dawea. waa begun Thurn- day by Kenator Pat llurrlaon of MiaelMippI,. tha chief democratic sharpihooter. This waa the flrat political dl play of the aenninn, and provoked freuent guata of laughter, even front Ihe broiling victim In the chair. I Dawea made no effort to enforce the rule against laughter In the senate, and allowed tha enjoyment of republicans, democrats and tho honeymooning In the gallery to have full sway. This performanco promises to be repeated often times during Ihe win ter, because of the feeling among many senutors toward Dawea over the rules reform campaign. "Picture this 'hell and Maria' person." llurrlaon said, "booted and spurred. In knightly attire, unafraid, chanting from coast to coast this summer against everything from geese to windmills. ieU ItojINlInK "Picture this only repetition ot Dnu Uulxote riding from lakes to gulf, telling the country 'I'm a dangerous man " Harrison aald sarcastically It was too had tho Cleveland convention didn't know how wise Dawes was. "Tho delegates wouldn't have dono as they did and offered the vice presidency lo everyone else in Ihe party before they gnve it to Dawes, Thoy offered It to Oov. I.owdcn and Senator Borah, and It waa only when no one else would hake It that It was given In Dawes." Harrison also remarked that on Inauguration day Dawes "snatched the bridegroom's robes and smear ed himself over the first pago of every paper In the country." Throughout this humorous as sault, during which many rcpubll can senators laughed as Immoder ately aa the democrats, Dawes sat twirling his thumbs and laughing as heartily aa one would expect un der Ihe circumstances. Actually Dawea la the welcome assistant ot the democrats during this period, for he proves as a con venient target for minority fun- makers, while their leaders are groping for an Issue of general Im provement. Democrats have drifted Into an aimless policy of going along with Coolldgo on taxes. The whole com plexion of Ihe democratic group In the house and senate Is that of ft bewildered minority, wanting to fight about something hut not quite certain what It should get mad about.

TO SUPPRESS VICE Moral Conditions on Upper Sprague Said to Be Decidely Lax Older Indians of the Beatty sec- Hon of the reservation are very much concerned over the extent of gambling and drinking of moon shine now prevalent . among . the younger tribes' folk. ' ' Tuey are to seek the advice of Indian Agent Arnold to find ways of combating the evil, according to Jeff Riddle, one cf those who. after the halcyon days of his youth now finds himself relegated to the class known as old men. ( A chief feature of the complaint Is that the aystem ot punishment now In vogue that the old men must pay the fines ot the younger men. This, fitter seeing their mor als corrupted. Formerly the Indian Judges put lawbreakers to work at hard labor on the roads. Superintendents prior to Arnold's advent as agent failed to hack np the Indian Judges. The old men think that It would he wise to return to the tribal in voked punishments. As It la now the fines paid by the Indians rep resent money from wnlch they get no return. Suppression of gaming would go a long way toward 'breaking drink ing practices. ' About five bootleg gers, both Indians and whites, are now operating In the Beatty dis trict. The bootleggers prey about the gambling games to no little ex tent, according to Riddle. As the result of the laxity brought about by drinking an as tonishing condition has resulted. Debauchery has Increased at an alarming pace. The young people, drunk on moonshine, give them selves over to rlotlous conduct, Riddle says, and Illegitimate births have Increased. "Unless drinking and gambling, which Is now driving the younger generation to the rats, Is stopped there Is going to be trouble. Al ready there have been threats of shooting. Some day there will be murder," said Riddle. There are aoout 300 Indians In the Beatty section. Fivo of them are organlied to seek suppression ot vice conditions. They are Har rison Brown, Watson 'Duffy, Joe Baker John Pitt and Riddle.

O. Patterson, attending physician. , There were new theories advan ced yesterday as to the possible manner In which Pecholt may have been Injured. Dr. Patterson, explaining that his statement made last night whs pure ly an "opinion," added, however, that he Is willing to testify relative to that opinion before any probing body which may Investigate. It was reported - yesterday that the Klam ath county grand Jury, which con-, venes next week, will concern itself with details surrounding the case. Dr. Patterson stated that for days the newspaper accounts of Pecholt's condition had been Inaccurate In that the patient had been in control of his mental faculties since the operation. . fc "The operation was successful In every way as successful as any op eration could be under the circum stances," said Dr. Patterson. "While It is true that Pecholt was delirious prior to the operation, he recovered his reason immediately thereafter." Should Recover" Pecholt's condition is still snch as to preclude the possibility ot his making any statement, it is said. The condition ot the injured man, said to have been held In the city jail when a physician's attentions were necessary, was lost night re ported good by Dr. Patterson. Pech olt, the medical man said, has a good chance to recover from hia In juries. , . Unless Pecholt is able, when com pletely c recovered, to tell exactly, what happened and unravel the tangle ot counter-statementa and charges, it Is doubtfal if the real faqts will become known for many days, If ever. . Police yesterday entertained as possible the theory that Pecholt had already met with a mishap at the time he was accosted by Cole and McMllls. It waa thought he might have been hit and waa wandering about out of his mind at the time. This theory is borne out by the fact that he was not known to have any business In the neighborhood ot the (Continued On Page Two) DISCHARGING TWENTY SAILORS PER MONTH WASHINGTON.
