not to arrange a local game for the

SENATORS PLEDGED
TO LATE SESSION

Salem, Ore, Feb. 19,-The organi-
zation managers were busy yesterday
Strengthening their lines and succeed
ed in forcing one of the outside sena-
tors into line by intimating what
might happen to one or two bills in
which the people of his district are
interested if he failed to sign. II is
believed there are now 20 or 21 sig
natures to the agreement.
Salem, Ore, Feb. 19.-By a mixture
of intrigue and good intentions, %
senatorial names are claimed to have
been secured to an agreement to hold
an adjourned session of the legisla
ture to consider the vetoes of the gov
ernor. In fact, however, this claim Is
much overstated.
The intrigue comes from the desire
of certain foes of the governor to re-
venge themselves in case pet bills of
theirs are vetoed. The good intention
comes in a feeling on the part of GER
tain other members that the session
passing the bills is the one that should
consider the vetoed measures of that
session. This Is a logical argument,
and irrespective of the politics in it
has gained some support.
AS a matter of fact, if the word of
senators themselves is to be accepted
as true, 22 names have not actually
been secured to this agreement A
canvass last night of the "outlander"
and near-insurgent element produced
10 senators who asserted they had
not attached their names to such an
agreement and number of others
were not seen who may not have
signed.

200 feet, or six and a quarter miles,
and yet they did not suffer at all, and
came down in perfect condition, and
exulting in their great feat!
Their success and immunity from
suffocation were due to the fact that
they took with them the apparatus
shown in the accompanying Photograph.
A Wonderful Picture.
This consists Of an air-tight vessel
flied with compressed oxygen. A mask
which can be fitted closely over the
nose and mouth is connected by a tube
with the reservoir Of oxygen, There
is q pressure gauge which enables the
aeronaut to measure the quantity of
oxygen remaining in the reservoir, and
there is also a device by which to reg
ulate the amount flowing through the
tubes. Thus they could take Just as
much oxygen as they needed and no
more. The rate Of supply varied from
two quarts per minute to ten The res
ervoir contained about 1900 quarts.
They began to breathe the oxygen
when at q height OF about Il 900 feet.
The method of using the apparatus is
shown in the photograph. which was
taken by Senouque, showing Bienaime
and Schneider, with their breathing
masks on, at the very time when they
were at the top OF their flight, more
than six miles above the earth!
