River and harb0 Bill Likely TO
Face Broadaxe in Next Congress

Washington, D. C.--River and har-
Dor Legislation at the next session Of
congress will be compelled to take Q
place Of secondary Importance, in the
opinion Of Representative Sparkman,
chairman of the river and harbor com
mittee, who passed through Washing
ton recently.
II presume" he said, that our
bill may have to make way for more
pressing legislation at the coming ses-
sion. If President Wilson recon-
mends national defense legislation,
with its necessary large appropria-
tions, we may be able only to provide
for river and harbor projects already
under way. Projects contemplated,
but not yet authorized, undoubtedly
will be undertaken some time, but /
expect the river and harbor bill of
next session will have to be held down
because of more pressing legislation
urged by the President.
Mr.. Sparkman was inclined to be-
lieve bill of reasonable size could be
passed to continue work on projects
now under way, such as the Columbia
river, Willamette and other authorized
projects in the Northwest, but he
thinks there is little chance whatever
for adoption Of new projects, Of which
the Pacific Northwest will have sew
eral to propose.

OREGON STATE NEWS
Anti-Fire Fight Begun.

Salem - In an effort to curtail fire
losses Harvey Wells, state insurance
commissioner, has issued bulletin
giving the various origins Of fire and
means Of prevention.
Mr.. Wells urges that the way to OBJ
tain cheap insurance is to stop the
enormous fire losses. Now the nom
burning, careful business man, he
says, pays for the careless, Indifferent,
reckless builder and occupant. He de-
clares:
"The fire loss in Oregon, most of
which may be termed fire waste, is
greater in proportion to the population
than in most states. In 1914 the
value of property destroyed is esti-
mated at more than $4,0O0,000, and
the insurance companies paid $780,
900 of that amount"
The commissioner insists that the
state should enact a fire marshal law,
and that there should be fire-preven-
tion associations in all communities.
The duties Of these organizations he
says, should be to create sentiment for
solid buildings, clean premises, fire
prevention laws, and ordinances gov
erning flues, electric wiring, etc.
"We have our efficient fire depart
ments in the cities to attack fires" +"
continues the bulletin. ''Now, after
we have built and organized these de-
partments to their maximum strength
and efficiency, what is our next step
in combating the immense fire waste?
Why should we not have department
known as Fire Preventers' ?"
Mr.. Wells estimates that So, 900, 900
of property is destroyed and 500 lives
lost yearly through the careless use Of
matches. Rubbish and ashes are Civ
en- as other cuases of fires. Careful
use of matches, kerosene, the cleaning
of cellars, closets and attics are urged
as means Of fire prevention.
The bulletin is filled with useful in
formation regarding the preventing
and extinguishing Of fires, and Mr..
Wells will give it as wide distribution
as possible.

CLAIMS MOST PERFECT LENS
German OptlcIan Says He Has Pro-
duced a Glass That Has No Equal
In the World.


In the "Punktal," DR.. Moritz Won
Rohr of the scientific staff Of the Carl
zeiss works, q famous German optical
establishment, claims the invention of
the perfect lens. 1t is said to be su-
perior to either the Toric or Menis-
Gus lenses, both recognized as great
improvements over the old style fiat
glasses.
In old-style lenses, when the eye is
rotated to one side, the line of sight
passes through the lens obliquely. This
defect was only partially done away
with by the Toric or curved lens. In
working out the new lens, Doctor Won
Rohr computed formulas for grinding
lenses which differ from every differ
ent power.
Heretofore all lenses have been
ground on one side with one or an
other Of a set of established base
curves. Believing 1t was impossible
to produce perfectly corrected lens
in this way, Doctor Won Rohr estab-
lished different formulas for each side
Of every kind of lens required.
The result Of his experimentation

AUSTRIAN DIPLOMAT ADMITS
PLANNING STRIKES IN U. S.

Washington, D. C.--Secretary Lam
sing has granted an interview at the
State department to DR.. Constantin
Theodor Dumba, the Autsro-H Hungarian
ambassador, who desires to discuss his
admission to newspaper reporters that
he has taken part in movement to
interfere with the production of war
materials in the United States.
Ambassador Dumba's request for a
conference reached Mr.. Lansing late
Tuesday. 1t is understood here that
he wishes to make an explanation re-
garding dispatches sent by him to the
foreign Office at Vienna and seized by
British authorities from James F. J.
Archibald, an American war corres-
pondent, who was acting as messen-
ger.
These dispatches, which are said to
reveal that the ambassador suggested
plans for handicapping munitions
plants and had undertaken to warn
Austro- Hungarian subjects that they
were violating the criminal code of
their native land by accepting employ
ment in American Embellishments
making war supplies for the allies, are
declared to have raised subject for
which there is no precedent in Ameri-
can diplomacy.
The question of dual citizenship,
long disputed between this govern
ment and several European powers, is
involved, and because of this the mat
ter will be approached when Ambas-
sador Dumba arrives, without preju-
dice.
Officials doubt that there has been
any violation Of law.
As to whether there has been a
breach of diplomatic propriety or in
ternational ethics, Secretary Lansing
must decide after he has heard the
Austrian ambassadors statement.
Copies of papers taken from Archi-
bald in London have been forwarded to
the State department by Ambassador
Page. They had not reached here
Monday night, but it was understood
that DR.. Dumba would take copies
with him when he called at the State
department.

Joliet, Ill.-Labor Day was real
holiday for the inmates in the state
penitentiary here. Forgetting the walls
and bars which cut them off from the
outside world the convicts stood up and
howled with glee while two pugilists
pummeled each other in regular ring
in the prison yard. In Chicago, Gov
ernor Dunno became incensed when he
learned that the boxing bouts were in
prospect He telegraphed the warden
that the bouts must be eliminated.
The telegram arrived too late.
