Overwhelming VOTE IS CAST
IN BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS
AGAINST SUSTAINING PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S (by Associ-
ated Press).-All speed records for
congressional action were broken yes
terday when the house passed the war
time prohibition enforcement bill over
the Presidents veto within three
hours after the veto message was re-
ceived.
There was a great uproar in the
house following the reading of Presi-
dent Wilson's veto message, and the
prohibitionists were bowled over in
their attempts to delay vote.
The vote by which the measure was
repassed over the Presidents veto was
176 to 55.
Senate Takes Up Veto
In the senate the dry" leaders took
immediate steps to secure the repas-
sage of the bill. Unanimous consent
was obtained for immediate consider
alton of the measure, and final action
is expected to be taken today, or on
Wednesday at the latest.
In the senate debate Underwood
said that the war was over, and that
wartime prohibition therefore should
be ended in good faith. He predicted
that the senate would pass the bill
over the veto, as the senate did not
intend to defy the organized prohibi
ton sentiment in the country
He said the unrest in the country
was due to the senates failure to act
on the peace treaty.

The Cordova daily times., 1919-10-28
Reasons for Veto

In his veto message President Will
son said he returned the bill without
his approval because he felt that the
wartime and national prohibition
measures ought to be separated and
legislated on separately. He said that
matters having to do with the per-
sonal habits and customs of the people
ought to be handled thoughtfully and
in due process.
The wartime legislation, he said,
had served it's purpose, now that the
army and navy have been demobi-
lized.
Inducement to Ratify Treaty
At the White House it was said to-
day that the President would end the
had ratified the treaty of peace.
Senate Also Overrides Veto
Later-The senate passed the pro-
hibition enforcement bill over the veto
of President Wilson by vote of 65 to
20. The Washington senators, Jones
and Poindexter, were among the thirty
eight Republicans who voted to over
ride the veto.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-10-28

Wilson's statements on the coal strike
and in the prohibition veto showed
that the President was utterly bewil
dered as to the ending of the war. He
said the President had told the miners
that the war was not over, and now
he says the army and navy are de-
mobilized.

the soil, reaching bedrock at level
somewhat below the surface Of the
river. To this drainage water is add
ed seepage from the river, which
flows in over the bedrock where 1t is
exposed along the bank. AS result,
the mountain rests on thin film OF
water that covers the bedrock under
its entire base. The tremendous
weight on his thoroughly fabricated
surface causes the movement.
Until recently, surface drainage
was depended on to stop this. Efforts
were made to drain the low areas,
for it was reasoned that if the water
did not permeate the mountain, the
slide would stop. Surface drainage
however, proved failure.
The new plan of attack, which has
stopped the slide, at least temporari-
ly, consists of a series of drainage
tunnels. They were built in 1918. The
portals of the tunnels are at about
normal high-water level of the river,
and have depth of 90 feet. When
the tunnels had penetrated the noun
tain for some distance drifts were
dug at right angles to reach the most
advantageous locations.
The tunnels have offered drainage
for the film of water that covered
the bedrock surface, and a large vol

ume of water has been concentrated
in them. AS soon as the tunnels were
completed last year, the slide move
ment ended and has not, so far, re-
Cured.
The famous Columbia River High
way now pal rllels the railroad at
the base of the Moving Mountain. 1t
had been built only a short time be-
fore the slide was stopped and was
not affected. If the movement should
begin again, frequent changes OF the
highway, as we'll as the railroad,
would be necessary. However, this is
a contingency that is not anticipated
for it is generally believed that the
tunnels have solved the the difficulty
permanently.

ENGINEERS CHECK
MOVING MOUNTAINS
Columbia River Threatened By Peak
Which Slips on Moisten-
ed Bedrock

When an entire mountain becomes
dissatisfied with its location and
starts to slide, it means trouble for
whatever happens to be in the way
Anyone who has noticed how even
small slide sweeps everything before
it, appreciates the force in moving
mass of earth. When the slide in
cludes a mountain, instead Of simply
a loose portion of its surface, the
movement may be said to be irresis-
tible. If stopped at all, it must be at
tackled by engineering strategy, for
no force will prevail against it.
In commanding position on the
Oregon side of the Columbia river,
between Cascade locks and Eagle
Creek, about as miles from Portland,
stands the Moving Mountains" AL
though for the past year there has
been no movement, and engineers
are hoping that they have succeeded,
in a fight they have made through
several decades, in staying its prog
ress, they are not ready to say that
the mountain is conquered. To the
layman, however it looks very much
as though the mountain had come out
second best in its struggle to glide
into the waters of the Columbia, and
that, from now on, it will remain
steadfast in its present location, as
a well-behaved mountain should.
There has at no time been anything
very precipitate about the movement
of this Columbia river peak. 1t might
have gone on indefinitely without at
tracing attention, if it had not been
for the construction of a railroad at
its base back in 1880. The engineers
who surveyed the line were greatly
surprised to notice, after several
months, that some action had affected
their location stakes. The change was
slight, but sufficient to arouse their
curiosity and apprehension. Definite
observations were made from month
to month, and from these it was de-
termined that the land at this place
was sliding toward the Columbia at
the rate of 10 to Is feet year. At
first, it was thought that the disturb
ance might be confined to a very small
and localized area. Experiments quick
ly proved this premise wrong, how
ever.
The moving mountain itself borders
the river for three-quarters OF a
mile. Its face is series of serrations,
and there are several areas that have
no surface outlet. Water gathered in
these undrained basins seeps through

ATTY GENERAL
MURPHY ON
Way JUNEAU

Hon. Jeremiah G. Murphy Of Anchor
age, who was recently appointed attor-
ney general for the territory Of Alaska,
was in town yesterday on his way to
Juneau to assume his new duties. His
appointment has met with general
approval, Judging from the following
editorial from the Anchorage Times:
''The new attorney general is an
old-time Alaskan. He knows Alaska
and he is loyal friend of this vast
unexpected region. He is here by his
own free choice. He did not come
with fat job in his pocket, to depart
whence he came with the expiration
of term of office. From a success
full law practice in the States, Mr.
Murphy did not resume this vocation
when he first came to Alaska. He
did as many another professional man
has done in the Northland-he took
a pack on his broad back and endured
the hardships, the privations, the
wearisOme toll of the prospector. To
renew his financial resources from
time to time he followed the pursuit
of packer, being for some time en-
p1oyed on the Valdez-Fairbanks over
land trail. In the course of time he
resumed his professional life, settling
in Anchorage at it's birth. He always
took keen interest in politics-Jerry
is an Irishman, you know-and soon
forged to the front as the Democratic
leader in this part of the country.
When W. A. Munly succeeded District
Attorney Spence at Valdez, Mr.. Muir
ply was appointed assistant district
attorney at Anchorage. In this posi-
ton he has demonstrated his fitness,
his probity, his ability and his entire
responsibility.
"In assuming the attorney general
ship Mr.. Murphy steps into one of
the most important offices in Alaska
We believe he is thoroughly qualified
to meet the responsibilities and i'm
portant duties that will be imposed
upon him. We congratulate Governor
Riggs upon the appointment of Mr.
Murphy! we congratulate Mr. Murphy
upon his selection for the high posi-
ton, and we congratulate the people
of Alaska for having in this office one
in whom all confidence may be placed.
"Anchorage will regret to lose this
loyal, genial, whole-souled fellow
townsman but our people will rejoice
to know that Mr.. Murphy is lettering
his position by going, as they are in
terested in his success"

AMERICAN STEEL IS
lJNDERSELLING BRITISH
PRODUCT IN ENGLAND

LONDON, July IA (by Associated
Press) Sir Auckland Geddes, presi-
dent Of the Board of Trade, said in
the house of commons the other day
that American steel manufacturers
were quoting prices for steel in the
United Kingdom lower than those
quoted by British manufacturers.
Nevertheless, he said, the government
was not prepared to restrict the i'm
portatiOn of iron and steel, because
of the demand for it in Great Britain.
Lieutenant Colonel Sir F. Hall de-
clared that the American steel manu-
facturers were underselling British
steel in English markets by 80 shil-
lings a ton and upward. He asked Sir
Auckland if the government was go
ing to do anything to protect British
steel manufacturers from this Ameri-
can competition. This evoked the re
ply that the government intended to
impose no restrictions at present
There is a very great demand for
iron and steel in this country at pres
ent, and our producers are not able to
meet it," said Sir Auckland Geddes.

JAPAN CLAIMS
IT IS ON SIDE
OF JUSTICE

TOXIC, July Ia (by Associated
Press).-Japan occupied at the peace
conference a special position-she was
disinterested in the problems which
concerned the Occident, but greatly
interested in the questions bound up
with the far East. So Takashi Hara,
the prime minister, has told the edi-
tor of French magazine published at
Toxic. The premier said:
Japan went to the peace confer
ence with the desire to take an active
part in it's work and to participate in
all questions that might arise. Why?
Because Japan is sincerely attached
to the cause of right and justice She
has proved it by closely cooperating
with the allies and by subscribing
without reserve to the fourteen propo-
sitions of President Wilson; she never
hesitated to join with the promoters
of the League of Nations.
Like the French, English and Amer
lean peoples, we wish a permanent
peace, better and more open relations
between nations, happier humanity
And we believe we are in a good posi-
ton to Judge things from the point of
view of justice and right because we
had fewer interests under discussion
than Europe and the United States.
Our attitude is impartial and our dele
gates at Paris showed the good faith,
sincerity and openness of our politics.
However, violent criticisms have
been addressed to us. Japan has been
represented as an ambitious, war-lov-
ing, aggressive nation. The proceed
ing cabinet suffered the same accu-
sations, which were not merited.
can assure you my government is do
ing it's best not to cause discomfort;
to disregard proceedings which might
be thought to bear a reprehensive
character. The peace conference has
given us an occasion to show we were
not guilty of what had been reproached
to US"

UNTERMYER IN TILT WITH
INSURANCE COMPANIES.

In a letter to Nathan Hirsch,
chairman of the Mayors Commit
tee on Rent Profteering, made pub
lie on June 4, Samuel Untermyer
declared that the attitude of the
great life insurance companies, saw
ings banks and other investment
corporations in abandoning their
former practice of making loans on
improved real estate was the most
important obstacle to the solution
Of the housing problem. The next
most important obstacle, he said,
was the abnormal cost of building
material "due to the suppression of
competition through secret arrange
1nents and understandings that con-
stitute criminal conspiracies that
ought to be and can be exposed, sup
pressed and punished" Comment
ing on the statements made by
Charles A. Peabody, president of
the Mutual Life, and Darwin P.
Kingsley, president Of the New
York Life Insurance Company, re-
garding his charges against the prac-
tice Of insurance companies not
making loans on real estate, Mr..
Untermyer said his statement to the
mayors committee was not volun-
teered and was the result of per-
sonal appeal from the mayor for
suggestions as to solution of the
problem. 81 made no personal at
tacks," he said 81 attacked the
system of policy of life, fire and
casualty companies as to the char
acter of their investments, which I
regard as vicious and unsound, and
opposed to the best interests of the
state and the policyholders." No
one was unmindful that the insur-
ance companies had invested hun

erty Bonds, Mr. Untermyer said,
adding that this was ''the best thing
they ever did" Instead of stopping
building operations by suspending
loans on real estate, if they had in
vested in real estate mortgages
part of the money they poured into
Wall Street securities of fuctuating
and uncertain value, and if they had
sold stocks which they were told
