side and silver Republicans. Democrats
and fusionists on the other, and the

We're considering the advisability OF
amending the measure so as to meet
the objection made In Mr., Rodriguez

this course will be adopted.
The contemplated amendments would

BETZ WILL REMAIN.
Does Not Want to Face the Chicago
Murder Charge.

Portland. January 2S.-George Betz.
alias John Bingham. wanted in Chi
cago will in all probability remain in
Oregon and serve his three years SEN
tence for burglary. In order to allow
the Chicago authorities to take Betz
on a charge Of murder, Governor Lord
granted him q pardon after he had
signed the eNtradltion warrant. Judge
Sears today held that the extradition
warrant was imperative because it
was signed while Betz was still under
sentence here. He also holds that the
pardon is imperative until Betz has
accepted it. Betz has expressed no
intention Of accepting the pardon and
1t is probable he will decide to serve
out his sentence rather than take the
chances of being convicted of murder
in Chicago.

No more deserved recognition of public
