Washington, March 30. Prosideut Wilson today resented as "tho crown ing insult" Representative Knowland's charge on the floor of the house that he had entered into a bargain with England whereby tho exemption clause of the Panama canal tolls act would be dimiunted in return for England's sup port of America's Mexican policy. Re plying to a specific question as to whether he had entered into any deal with Sir William Tyrell, president Wil son said: ' "Of course that answers itself.

"The wholo thing reminds me of the story of a very effective dobator who sent a challenge into a county very hos tile to him for a debate. Tho people down there did not liko the job very well, but they put up the man they liked best, a big husky fellow named Tom. The challenger was given the first hour of a two horn's debate an! had not spoken more thau 30 minutes' when it was evident that he had con vinced the audience that he was on tho right side.

Because slio tried to break Into the school hoiise at Quiney, after the new recall school bonrd hud discharged her for alleged teaching of socialistic principles in the School room, Mrs. Clara I. Foreman is in jail here today. Mrs. Foreman re fused to acknowledge the authority of the new board elected last week to take the place of the board which failed to sustain charges against her, and at tempted to open her school as usual this morning.. Failing to gain entrance by peaceful means, Mrs. Foreman is alleged to have trie! to force her way in. She .was arrested, racialists from all part of the country are here and announce drastic action unless Mrs. Foreman is released from custody. Q I his feet and shouted: 'Tom, call him a I liar and make him fight.' That is the stage this debate has reached." The president was especially incensed at Knowland's allegations. Ho said he regretted that the debate had degener ated into an organized attempt to dis credit his administration, but he insisted that the repeal resolution was certain of passage. President Wilson said that not all 1 of those opposing him were participat ing in tho "campaign of misrepresenta tion." Ho also declared he did not ex pect the party to be disrupted on ac count of the tolls dispute. He said the question was merely a capital surgical operation, and pointed to two planks in the democratic platform de claring against subsidies, either direct or indirect. The president added that if tho in ternational situation had not demanded it, he would not have advocated the ropeal, although he believed free tolls to be nothing more nor less than a subsidy. He said he believed that as congress, over which he had no juris diction, passed the law, it would have remained unchallenged by the admin istration if the international situation had not been a factor in the case. T ARE OUT OF IT The attorney general this morning handed out several opinions. The Industrial Accident commission was told that employes wholly withii the non-hazardous department of any employment did not come within the oporation law, but that if employed part of the time in any of the hazard ous departments of the employer's work they are under the law. K. B. Butler, recorder of Butte Falls, was Informed that the custodian of tax roll upon discovering a mistake in the tax roll was authorixed to correct it at any time. The state board of tax commissioners was informed that the state of Oreoi,, not having been a party to the suit i:i which .fudge Clectnii panned np.ni th tax laws of 11)13, could not appeal from that decisiou. FEWER MEETINGS REQUIRED. Because there will be less street im provement work requiring action this summer, tho council will probably adopt the new rule proposed by Councilman .lories and meet tho first and third Mondays of each month, instead of weekly. FLY MARKET VERY QUIET, If material for "swatting" is not more liberally forthcoming within a short time Ralph Moores, the commer cial club fly king, will have nothing to do but stand around and look wise. The fly market in Sajem has become so quiet that it is hardly a matter of con sideration in the promotion depart ment of tho commercial club now. A boom is expected soon, however, as the weather man is promising some good weather ere long and the insects will then have in opportunity to get out where the swatters can have a chance at 'em. j9iU MS UL l.U Jii l l Iffli f J ! amnion - r wK . j jj.i c ye epa n Possible that Certain Person or Persons V A J V M i ' 1 If 19 1 I .11 I Will be Brought Before Him and ' 'A I ' T I , ' v ! 1 1 IB 1 Rjl fllllPl 1 .Punished for Contempt I '"-Mwv j j JJ1 1U I L 1 V JfJi ILmI Rumors current about the court house today are to the effect that either one or two of Marion county's officials will be haled before Circuit Judge Kelly shortly and formally charged with con tempt of court on the grounds that cer tain information and facts concerning several indictments returned by tho grand jury were disclosed before tho cases were ready for public inspection. This is a sensation arising out of arti cles appearing in the local and Port land press concerning the indictments returned against Sheriff Kelsay, of Whooler county, who stands charge with giving liquor to a minor, and var ious other ,-true informations returned by the grand jury which is in session at the present time. Who Is It? Just who the givor of the grand jury' opinion is remains to be seen. Sheriff Each or County Clerk Gohlhar refuse to make any statements concerning the matter and it is impossible to obtain any information from other likely sources. Suffice to say, howovor, Cie cuit Judgo Kelly is having a minute invostigpition made and will make Btron nous efforts to place the blamo upon the right persons who have violated Sec tion 1431 of Lord's Oregon laws, which reads as follows: "No grand juror or officer of the court must disclose any fact concerning such indictment while it is not subject to public inspection; and a violation of this soction, or tho prohibitions of sec tion 1430, is punishable as a contempt." The court may use its own discretion as to tho punishment to be imposed up on any person found guilty of contempt, by pronouncing a jail term or compel'. iug the guilty party to pay a fine. Plain Violation. It is said by thoso who are versed in grand jury matters and by Coumy Clerk flehlhar that the law lias been violated without question. The reports of the truo bills found against Sheriff Kelsay and others, while correct, wer not for public inscction nt the timu they appeared in the press, it is Baid, and tho persons, responsible for divul ing the facts in those instances are guilly of contempt. Thcro 1ms been but two truo bills ready for publication, according to the county clerk, and the noswpapors have been Buccesfnl in se curing inforiHution concerning several other matters which, according to lav, should not have been made known until .Indgii Kelly culled for them.

That a liberal jh propriatiou for a French exhibit at the San Francisco exposition will be voted by tho parliament soon after the elec tion of new deputies April 20 was the prediction of u very astute t'arls politi cian here today. The situation, ho said, is just this: French business nun think they s.!9 a chanco to extort the tariff consetwioui from the Foiled States by threatening to boycott thu exposition unions they get them. The present deputies do not thiuU they will get liny sin h concession, and they do not want a French exhibit t the exposition, They are afraid they will offense certain influential electois if they vote an appropriation without a chance to extort the tariff concession willing to gio offense with an election so near.
