Spent Night In Jail As
Result OF Shooting

Portland, Or, Mar. 12.--Mr and Mrs
Maurice Brooks spent last night in
Jail pending an investigation of shoot
ing in their apartment.
Brooks told the police his wife shot
at him with a revolver, following a
quarrel, inflieting a flesh wound in his
arm.
Friends say the trouble was caused
by Mrs. Brooks accusation that the
husband had squandered her fortune.
The police declare Brooks asked his
wife to beg his pardon for shooting
him, calling on the officers to arrest
her because she declined his request.
Mr. and Mrs. Brooks came to Port
land a few days ago from Los Ange-
les. They were married last August.

English Buyers Cause
Boom In Hop Market

Notwithstanding the fact that the
country will be practically dry July l
Of this year and absolutely dry and the
manufacture of beer and alcoholic
drinks prohibited January 16, 1920,
there is sudden boom in the hop mark
ct.
II is the English market that is call
ing for Oregon hops And II IS calling
so loudly that judging from present con
ditions, for several years to come, the
hops yards of Oregon will once again
cut some figure as one Of the great
industries Of the state.
One Of the evidences Of this sudden
advance in the hop market is the great
number Of hop contracts that are being
filed in the office Of the county re-
cordcr. The greater number OF these
contracts are for the English companies.
Yesterday there was filed in the coun-
ty recorders office contracts for 24O,
coo pounds Of hops. These contracts
were mostly for one and two years,
Three Of the contracts were for 10000
pounds each at 25 cents a pound, three
for 10000 pounds each at 25 cents a
pound and two for $4,000 pounus oacn
at "a cents a pound.
These contracts along with others
that have been filed from time to time
are evidence that the great hop industry
Of Oregon will be booming for tnv aexi
few years.

| Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Mar. II, - Following
word from Paris that the peace treaty
is nearly complete, with many leading
articles contingent upon league OF
nations, the fight raging about the
league took a new turn today.
Opponents of the idea will try to
amend out Of the treaty application OF
the league, if it is embodied in the
peace covenant when it comes up fol
ratification, Senator Reed declared to
day. *
At the same time Chairfnan Cum
mings of the democratic national com.
mittee in statement on tile subject
declared:
"The ill-consdered. talk about q
peace treaty first and league Of ma
tions afterward' is persuasive only
with those who do not understand The
problems in yolved Such policy
would postpone an effective league fol
generations and it would reduce the
treaty to a mere scrap Of paper to be
torn to tattcrs the moment internation-
al interests came into conflict with
each other"
Senate Won't "swallow" Plan
Senator Reed speaking for the Fbit-
ter enders,V predicted, however, that
efforts to make the senate swallow ;
the league plan by so Intervening it
with the peace settlement that one can
not be acted upon without the other
will fail.
"Wc can ratify the peace treaty as
amended" said Reed.
"'Wc can amend by striking out OBJ.
jectionable clauses, such as that en-
dangering the Monroe doctrine or Am
erican sovereignty. This will be done,
in my opinion. because within 80 days
this country win be ablaze with oppo-
sition to tho league"
Other opposition senators believe the
senate could render the league, as now
proposed, impotcnt by adding to the
peace treaty if the league were embod-
icd a provision expressly stating that
" nothing herein shall be binding on
the United States il it conflicts, = ETC.,
and then specifying the Monroe doc
trine and other American policies.

berlin NOW HENACfD
BY OUTBREAKS AMONG
SPARTACANS AGAIN
While Fighting Continued Gay
Social Centers We're Being
Crowded.
By Frank ]. Taylor.

Omitted Press Staff CorrespoAdent.)
Berlin, March 11.-(Noon) Berlin
was menaced by Spartacan outbreaks
today.
Government troops after desperate
fighting, captured the greater part of
the suburb of Lichtenberg. Most of
the Spartacans fled from there to the
southeastern part of the city proper.
Strongly enforced by recruits, they en-.
'trenched themselves. From these new
positions their artillery now ehdangers
a large portion ofthe city.
Meanwhile the insurgent forces re-
naming in Lichtenberg fell back to the
railway station, where they organized
new dcfenses. Detschment of large
part of the new government troops to
combat the Spartacans in the south
eastern section of the city rendered
capture of the Lichtenberg station a
serious problem.
The governments position was made
increasingly difficult by the public de-
mand that use of artillery and air
plane bombs cease. Their fear that
resistance to this demand might turn
the people against the government, it
seemed possible that War Minister Nos.
Ike would accede.
While fighting gained in intensity,
the center of Berlin was the scene Of
gay social affairs, cafes and dance halls
being crowded to capacity.
Proclaim Martial Law.
Basle, March 12.-Martial law has
been proclaimed in the district Of West
Prussia, Briegsen, Thorn and Guim, ow-
ing to the advance Of Spartacan forces
from the east, according to dispatches
here today.
The dispatches would indicate that
the Spartacans are advancing upon the
districts referred to from Russian Po-
land. Thorn is situated on the Vistula
river just inside the Russo'German
boundary. Briegsen is 20 miles north
east of Thorn and Guim 25 miles north.
From the wording of the dispatch, it
would seem the Spartacans either are
under the direction of the Russian boil
sheviki or that the name has been ap'
piled to the bolsheviki themselves.

SCHOOL BOARD NET
FOR ROUTINE WORK
Superintendent Todd And Miss
Sterling To Attend Meet
ing AT Spokane.

Matters Of routine business occupied
a large part Of last night s session Of
the school board, along with cnrsory
discussion of school legislation put over
by the recent assembly, which was
shown to be generally beneficial espec-
tally the act increasing the per capita
levy for school pupils from So to $40.
This will result in putting into the
school fund from $4,000 to $4,000 more
than was received last year.
Miss Theresa Fowle was accepted as
an applicant at salary for the pos.-
tion Of instructor in the Junior High
school at salary Of $85, and Miss
Louise Clausen to the senior kign sr,sool
commercial department.
The matter Of the Holman property
was brought up, revealing the faes saa.
there was kind in the transfer Of
deeds because Of three-cornered nego-
tiations, and the muddle was turned
over to the attorneys to work out ae-
cording to their discretion.
1t was arranged that superintendent
Todd and Miss Edna Sterling Of the
teaching corps should attend the three
day session Of the Inland Empize
Teachers Association at Spokane, which
is to be held on April 2, 8 and 9th, the
latter to have salary continued during
her absence.
Some debate was provoked py .ns
question of excusing from physical ex-
ercise pupils supposed to be unfit 1or
such work, the point Of discussion as
to whether they should be excused on
the certificate Of any family physician
or only upon the recommendation Of
the school physician. 1t had been the
policy Of the school to insist upon a
certifictae from DR.. Cashatt, and in
support Of this course the fact was cited
that when excuses we're received from
any old doctor, there were many ex-
euses presented. Judging from the OBJ
seryation Of the instructor, there were
very few cases where pupil was really
unfit for some form Of physical excr-
else. The board finally accepted the
suggestion Of Wilslow that d certifieate
be accepted from any reputable physl-
