warning.
For year or more Mr.. Sutherland Is
health had not been coed, but he had
attended regularly to his duties in the
state treasurer's office and during
what proved the last day of his life
had been feeling unusually we'll. He
had spent the day dining with some
friends and visiting with others. There
had been no premonition of the end
John d. Sutherland was born in Can
ada, April l2, 1859. He has served con
tinuously with the office of state treas
urer since 1891, as custodian of the
mortgage department of the state land
office and cashier Of the state treas
urer's office.

chan beginning in 1891 and he was
with Mr.. Metehan for eight years. Foi-
lowing the two terms of Mr.. Metchan,
Mr.. Sutherland was with Chas. 5.
Moore from 1899 to 1907. Then his ser
vices were with George A. Steele, state
treasurer from 1907 to 1911. When
Thomas B. Kay assumed the office Of
state treasurer in 1911, Mr.. Sutherland
was continued in office and was to con
tinue his duties with the new treas

Of life and duty.

PLACE RUSSIA WILL
HOLD At CONFERENCE
TO Be DECIDED SOON
President Wilson And Other
American Delegates Will
Settle Matter.

Omitted Pres, staff eorrespondentl

Omitted Press staff correspondcnt)
Washing ton, Jan. 13.-The state de-
partment has forwarded to the Ameri-
can peace delegation the British pro-
posal regarding cessation of Russian
hostilities with subsequent Russian fac
tional representation.
1t will be up to President Wilsca
and the American delegates to decide
whether they wish to have bolsheviki
and other Slav agents present their
peace views at Paris
M. Pinchon, French foreign minister,
is reported to have rejected the Brit
ish proposal, viewing it as plan to
have bolshevik delegates in the peace
conference.
This government has taken no posi-
tion yet. Whether England means the
Russians should actually sit in az the
peace conference Or present their
views, is not clear.
Knows Nothing of Proposal
The state department claimed it has
no knowledge of a proposal to include
red delegates in the session. Subse-
quently, Acting Secretary Polk Off
cially stated he received British
proposal dated January 8.
Questions put to him Saturday bore
only on bolshevik representation and
Polk explained that he was not aware
of the Pincho rejection statement and
did not consider that the question had
any relation to the British note.
This note was forwarded Saturday
to Paris for the American delegates.
Why it had not been delivered direct
ly to the mission is unknown. 1t was
suggested, however, that it was address
ed to France and the United States, it
would not necessarily have TO go direct
to the delegates.
Thus far the United States govern
ment has taken an inim;eal stand
against the bolsheviki and some time
ago virtually asked the world.to outlaw
them. Whether their agents and other
Russian factions shall 60 to Paris is a
question Of policy resting largely with
President Wilson.

down to the business of organizing by

by unanimous vote John w. Cochran
was elected permanent chief clerk and
John L. Hunt of Woodburn was chosen
assistant chief clerk. Then the fight
over calendar clerk developed, in which
Paul l.. Burris of Salem, a returned SOL
dicr who served in the aviation Sec
tion, was on one side and Robert Ruh,
editor of daily paper at Medford, was
on the other.
While Ruhl had the pledge of I6
senators, the debate over taking care
of the returning soldiers became TOO
warm that Senator Thomas, who had
nominated Ruhl, withdrew his name in
favor of Burris and said that Ruhl
would take the position of assistant
sergeant Of arms, which Burris had de-
clined to accept when it was offered
to him. This made Burris election
Unanimous.
Mr.. Ruhl does not wish to be placed

go farther than Bob Ruhl or myself TO

There is nothing more detestable in pub

aside and take the position of assist

When Senator Thomas had first plac-
ed Ruhl s name in nomination he said
that southern Oregon never had been
given a place in the Organization of

titled to this position.
Among the senators who ehampioned
the side of the soldier were Senators
Huston, Shanks, Banks and Farrell,
while Senators Moser, Laehmund, Smith

Ruhl, chiefly on the ground that they

PROMISE OF SHOWERS
TO BREAK HEAT WAVE

The heat wave which has kept the
mercury lowering around 100 degrees
for two days will end in thunder
showers today. the weather bureau
predicted last night.
Showers. with a consequent drop in
temperature, also are promised to the
other big cities on the Atlantic coast
which shared in the intense heat of
Friday and yesterday.
Although the mercury went as high
as 101 here at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Washington was not hit as
hard as were Baltimore and Boston.
in which places 102 degrees was re-
corded.
The people of the District felt the
heat more yesterday evening than or
dinarily because of the intense hui
nudity, which rose rapidly after sun
set. At 8 o'clock pm. the tempera-
ture had gone down from 101 to "a.
but two hours later it mounted again
to 80. On this date last year the
highest temperature was IS.
The weather bureau forecast that
the showers today would be followed
by partly cloudy sky Monday and
gentle winds from the north and
northeast. This forecast also holds
good for nearby Maryland and Viz
ginia~ ~.
