By L. E. Earnlst (United Press Staff Correspondent) tit. Louis,' Mo., Feb. 12. Talk of a compromise candidate for republican na tional committee chairman grew in vol ume this afternoon when supporters of John. T. Adams of Iowa, indicated their unalterable opposition to Will H. Hays of Indiana. There were signs that the Hays wave was approaching its crest. Growing be lief that the committee would adjourn until tomorrow for final action was said to show that the Hays forces had fail ed to muster enough votes to elect him at this afternoon 'g meeting. Leaders of tho Adams boom met with Senator lioics Penrose of Pennsylvania. It was reported they signified their wil lingness to withdraw Adams providing a cauuiuaie acceptable to them was agreed upon. Fred (Stanley of Kansas was the most prominently mentioned "dark horse". The Hays men, however, continued to maintain confident front. Woman suffrage had its inning be fore the executive committee of the party today. The committee endorsed a resolution approving tho action of tho house of representatives in passing the Susan B. Anthony amendment. It was reported that Committeeman F. W. Es tabrook of New Hampshire cast the only adverse vote. Women opposed to suffrage also will record as proof that he had done more heve an opportunity to address the com- ; tnan tne average American in support mittee, according to plans.

The division of strength between States are not allied." With these developments it became known that repeated attempts had been made by various leaders to persuade Adams to withdraw. It was not tho in tention of the anti-Adams element to use the letter except as a last resort. Convinced, they said, that Adams would be unable to unite the party, the let ter was brought out.' Use of the letter, these men pointed out, was justified by the fact that in the event of Adams' election, it might logically have become a potent weapon in the hands of the democrats. Adams' friends are exceedingly bit ter over what tbey declare were unwar ranted tactics. They reviewed Adams' coinmitteo would endorse the Anthony amendment. .

In reply to Former Premier Asquith's floor. In the small hours of the morning it was announced at Adams' headquarters that he positively will be a candidate when the committee meets this after noon. There were predictions, however, that he would withdraw at the last mo ment because of an attack upon his Americanism. Opposing the Iowan will be Will H. Hays of Indiana, unless there is a sud-. den shift in the plans of the anti- Adams contingent. A letter written by Adams durinz request for further information regard ing the Versailles conference, Lloyd George said: "It is impossible to say anything re garding the decisions reached without giving information to the enemy." Former Premier Asquith at the open ing of debate today asked further in formation regarding the inter-allied conference at Versailles. "There has been some just and some unjust criticism of our military and naval leadership," declared Asquith, ''but the nation's confidence is unshaken,' E at th e Big mary Closing Values Out Sale LACES EMBROIDERIES ONE TABLE One Assortment Values to ' Values to ' Embroideries " Embroideries t -A ... . . and Laces Values to 10c $1.50 Yard now 85c Yard now Values up to 20c now 35c Yard 39c Yard jQc ' IcYard Women's - Women's House Dresses Vcol Dress Tailored Suits WooI Dresses at Skirts Only One Left, $21 Value $10.50 Reduced Prices. $15 values $8.50 it is a $40.00 $20 value $ 9.00 Keduced 1 rlces $? 5Q . , value now $7.50 value $ 5.50 One Assortment ',,U alues 5U cmo rn Others at Re- no Others Greatly 3lo.bU duced Prices "oC Reduced 35 OVERCOATS FOR BOYS NOW $2.95 Come and See Them fb ft Twf) Corner Court and Cem'l Street, Salem CREAM FOR CATARRH " OPENS UP NOSTRILS Tells How To Get Quick Relief from Head-Colds.

It' indicated, anti Adams members of the committee as sorted, that Adams entertained at that time a friendly sentiment toward Ger many. The letter threw the national commit tee into confusion. The restraint that had marked the deliberations of the committeemen was swept away in a moment. Tho last hope of harmony was dispelled. Adams and his backers withdrew at once to their headquarters and did not attend the joint conference of the na tional and advisory committee that fol lowed the executive committee meeting. As a result the conference developed a distinct Hays atmosphere. After being closeted with his advis ors several hours, Adams voiced de fiance to his opponents in a statement j-.i: 1..-- it - s. t. , , objiico "r""uu S u'8 " SD1' " crra i Robertson were present and approved any proposition to clothe the supreme war council with executive function).

Asquith aro.?e amid tremendous cheering and protested against the "insinuations" of the premier. Iiloyd-Georgo -withdrew any insinua tions Asquith thought he had made. The premier said the situation on the west front in recent weeks had be come more menacing. He said Jhe al lies' superiority was gradually dimin ishing rnd that unification of their armies was therefore essential to meet the danger. Tho premier, reverting to tho Ver sailles conference said both Uaig and for bringing out the letter and declared Adams had personal knowledge that the "circulation of tho attack" had been planned three weeks ago. "As the descendant of nine eenera- Itions of New England stock, and with- jout a drop of German blood in my veins", tho statement read, "I have not and could not have the slightest : sympathy for any nation as against the I United States or any nation with which ;the interests or welfare of the United will be larger and mere extensive than any other by tho present administration. the council's decisions.

The guards recognized tho tools found in the attic as thoso which had been missing since George Clark es caped in January, 1916. Clark was re captured and returned to tho rjrison in April, 1916. It is the opinion of prison officials that the plan was to make .the break at the time tho convicts are released from their cells at niiit cither to at tend school or to attend the picture liliow. Insead of filing down tho stops to the chapel, as many as were in on tho plot would climb on top t.f their cells and await a favorable opportuni ty to crawl through the hole in the ceijing and climb from tho attic to the roof, and, from there manage to get over the wall. $2,650,000 Is 1917 Revenue of Oregon-Cheese University of Oregon, Eugene, Feb. 12.
