said one. I'VE have met 1t thus far,
and hope we can continue to do so,
but It 10 bad situation"
How strong the opposition to the
president is was evidenced from the
fact that such men as Speaker Clark
and Senators Oyerman and Cummins,
favor warning. The senators have
decided, however. not to push any
action pending receipt OF Berlin's In
,structions to Ambassador von Berns-
torn.
The belief that 1t will not be me-
cessary for the president TO take his
case to congress in a message was
strengthened BY Chairman Floods
announcement that he had received
reassuring advices from the state de-
partment The department after
ward denied. though, that 1t had re-
ceived any new word.
Congressman McLemore, who fos-
tered a bill to force warning mo-
tice. issued statement, In part as
follows:
"Since the Declaration Of Paris in
1856. abolishing privateering, arm
cd merchant ships have had no status
In International law, except as aux
Hilary cruisers. I have not met any
lawyer able enough to indicate the
chapter on which Is based the alleged
right OF merchantmen to carry de-
fensive armament"
Senator Gore appealed to Vice
President Marshall. who ruled that
his bill was not admissible. as Sem
ator Brandegee objected. A resolu-
tion accompanying the bill asked that
Americans abstain from the right OF
travelling on armed ships OF the bel
ligerents, while the bill itself pro-
posed that passports for such travel
be withheld.
Several senators are opposed to
the presidents course. but they favor
informing him OF their sentiments
privately, rather than to have an ont
break on the floor.
Senator LaFollette. en- route here
from Wisconsin, will aid In dissuad-
ing the president from maintaining
his present position. but failing in
this will not support that position.
Congressman Foster introduced a.
substitution for the McLemore reso-
luton which would authorize" In
stead OF request" the president to
issue a warning. The McLemore re-
solution proposed that any one dis
obeying the warning should sacrifice
the right to American protection. \

LEE FAUT ONCE A
RESIDENT HERE

Lee Faut. the aged Chinaman who
was brutally murdered at Roseburg
Tuesday, was former resident Of
Grants Pass. and is remembered by
many residents OF this city. There
is now belief that the old man was
killed by white man. instead OF
having been the victim of the tong
war. China Sam. a Roseburg China
man pioneer. has the following to
say OF Lee Faut:
Lee Faut was one OF the best
known and best liked Chinese resi-
dents Of southern Oregon. He was
recognized as a Christian among the
Chinese. and ! do not believe he was
affiliated with either Of the tongs
which are now engaged in war at
various points on the Pacific coast.
Faut and / were friendly and we
often talked regarding matters of in
terest to people Of our nationality.
| have known Faut for more than Is
years. and In all that time I never
heard him mention anything which
would lead me to believe he was a
member of either tong. He was a
man of quiet disposition, an ener-
getic worker, and attended strictly
to his own business. Faut lived in
Grants Pass for a number OF years,
and while there accumulated several
thousand dollars. He later sold his
laundry there and went TO Portland.
where he remained for some time.
While resident of the latter city
Faut lost much Of his money through
bad speculation. Leaving Portland,
Faut again returned to Grants Pass.
and later came to Roseburg. He had
lived here about three years, and dur
ing that time had conducted laun-
dry on Rose street. Faut was a man
OF charitable disposition. and gave
his funds freely to those in need.
Only few years ago a Chinaman by
the name OF Hop Lee became afflict-
ed with disease and was compelled
to retire from active life. He was
without funds and he appealed to
Faut for assistance. Faut not only
provided him with medical assist
ance. but paid all funeral expenses
following his death"

GERMANS SCUTTLE
CAPTURED STEAMER
(By United Press Leased wire.)


London. Feb. 24.--Taking no
chance OF having their prize, the
British steamer Westburn. snatched
from them, the German crew in
charge OF her dashed out to sea TO-
day from Santa Cruz In the Canaries,
scuttled her and then escaped In
boats. according to Santa Cruz dis
patches.
Before the vessel was sunk the
prisoners aboard her were put safely
ashore.
The dispatch said that the German
commander scuttled her because the
Spanish authorities had hinted they
would return the vessel to Its british
owners if,it interned. Fearing that
warships OF the Canarles would cap
ture the boat II she tried to escape,
the commander took the ship TO a
point within the three-mile limit and
sank her, He then returned to Santa
Cruz and will probably intern.
Spain would have been forced to
return the ship to the owners in case
OF internment, inasmuch as she has
no treaty with Germany which would
permit lnternment.
The Westburn, 3,500-ton vessel,
put into Santa Cruz for repairs. with
q small prize crew and more than
200 prisoners from British ships.
The impression here Is that the
Westburn was captured by the same
German raider which recently cap
tured the Appam and sent her into
Newport News, Va.
Included in tho prisoners were
members Of the Clan McTavish crew,
said TO have been captured by the
German raider. supposedly the
Moewe, at about the time OF the
Appam capture Indications are that
the same raider captured other ves-
sells whose crews were aboard the
Westburn.

London. Feb. 24.---Under the ayes
OF the kaiser. the German crown
prince has forced his way to within
gun range Of the fortress city OF
verdun.
Berlin claimed today the Teutons
had captured towns as far as Samog-
neux. only six miles from the north
ern outskirts Of the fortress: Paris
admitted Samognenx had been storm.
cd. though Il claimed tho Teuton at
tack there had been checked.
Berlin told OF enormous gains;
Paris admitted some.
Losses on both sides have probably
mounted to the great total OF so, 900
men In the few days since the prince
began his onslaught. And still the
combat RACES along the 25-mile front
north OF verdun. with no signs OF
weakening.
The German official statement
claimed the Germans had cleared the
way eefore them in capturing
Brabant-sur-Meuse. Haumont, Sam
ogneux, Jood and Herbe. together
with the forested district north and
northwest OF Beaumont.
Paris admitted the loss Of Brabant-
sur-Meuse and part OF the Caures
wood, four miles eastward, after an
nouncing yesterday that the French
had re-occupied the latter territory.
The Paris communique told OF ap-
palllng losses on both sides. In an
attack on Samogneuy, Paris said the
Germans were thrown back. while in
a new onslaught against Beaumont,
seven miles northeast of verdun. the
Germans lost many men.
Both Berlin and Paris indicated
that the struggle on the 25-mile front
had continued without cessation dur
ing the night.
Conceding that the German AZ
centimeter guns might reduce ver-
dun to ruins, critics declared that the
Germans must pierce q remarkable

fore they can actually begin a drive
