NEW STATE PRINTER
TAKES LOOK AT JOB
Plhnpton Will Be Retained As
Secretary Pending Action
by Legislature

When the new state printing law, en-
acted by the legislature of 1913, goes
into effect it will dissolve the present
state printing board and place the su-
pervision of the printing plant under
the state board of control and, if a
new law is to be enacted at the coming
session of the legislature, an effort will
be made to place the jurisdiction over
the plant back where it is in order to
preserve the harmony and working sys-
ten that now prevails and the distinc-
tiOn which now exists between the
board of control and the printing
board.
Some question has been raised as to
the authority of the board in retaining
Mr.. Plimpton as secretary, there being
no provision for such position made in
the law which takes effect on the first
of the year, but, inasmuch as it will be
necessary for someone to be on hand
who is experienced in the operation Of
the business end of the printing plant
during the session and some remedial
Legislation is expected to be enacted
during the coming session, it was CON
sidered a matter of good business judg.
ment and economy to retain the serv.

pacity.

TENNESSEE ON HER
WAY TO ALEXANDRIA
Is Taking Refugees Mostly
British and French from
the Danger Zone

Washington, Dec. 2S.--Captain Deck.
er, of the United States cruiser Ten
nessee, cabled Secretary of the Navy
Daniels today that he was transporting
500 refugees of different natiOnalities
from Jaffa to Alexandria. No mention
was made by Captain Decker of a re-
port that an American cruiser had
threatened to lombard the port Of Tri-
poll, Syria.
Captain Decker's cablegram was
sent from Jaffa last night. It said the
Tennessee was en- route to Alexandria
with the refugees. The nationalities of
the refugees were not given, but they
were believed to be mostly British and
French.
The message said the refugees were
unable to get passage from Jaffa in
any other way.
"I acted" said Decker, Gin accord
ance with instructions from Washing.
ton and responded to the appeals for
transportation. All foreign consuls also
requested me to take action"
Captain Decker said that United
States Ambassador Morgenthau at Con.
stantinople approved his action, and
that the commission to remove the refu.
gees was obtained from the Turkish
government.
A repetition Of the Tampico (Mexi.
COY incident will not be permitted in
Turkish waters. II was learned today
that Secretary Daniels had instructed
naval commanders in the Orient to ex
ercise the utmost discretion. They
were informed that only the most ser
ious situation would warrant gun fire
except under orders from Washington.
The navy department expected a full
report today from the commander OF
the United States cruiser North Caro-
lima, who, it was reported, threatened
to lombard Tripoli. Tn the meantime
officials here were inclined to believe
that IT, any such threat were made i
was intended only as bluff.

AT a meeting called for the purpose

The new law provides salary of
81 300 per year for the state printer,
whereas, under the law at present in
force his salary is $4,000 per year.
This action on the part Of the state
printing board was brought about by
the protest of the printers fraternity
against the temporary appointment OF
W. M. Plimpton present secretary of
the board to serve through the coming
session of the legislature on the ground
of his inability to qualify under the

Plimpton will continue to act as seere.

The selection of Mr.. Lawrence, who

from MultnOmah county. came in the
nature Of compromise. Governor
West favored the retention of r. A
Harris in the office and Secretary Of
