.DAUR IS ARRESTED
ON FEDERAL CHARGE

George Baur, an employe of the Kay
wooden mills, was arrested Thursday
morning upon a warrant served by
Deputy United States Marshal E. Il.
Mass. Baur was indicted, January 10,
by federal grand jury at Portland,
on a charge of sending obscene litera-
ture through the United States mails.
Baur, who has lived in Salem for
three years, was brought before City
Recorder Earl Race at 10 a. m. Thurs
day and was released upon furnish
ing $500 bond.
Baur is said to have made a tentative
plea of extenuating circumstances,
claiming that the letter in question was
written to his wife, who resides in Can
ada and from whom he is separated.
Baur alleges that his wife has annoyed
him by writing many insulting letters
and the climax was reached when she
indicted an especially irritating missive.
Baur is said to have appended a rather
emphatic remark to this letter and to
have returned the same.
The accused man has retained local
counsel and is expected to enter reslsc
to the indictment upon technical
grounds

to the kitchen of the camp, dismissed
a Chinese cook and replaced him with
a citizen whose competence has never
been questioned. In very short period
the foreman realized his mistake when
orders were received to dismiss the
citizen-cook and make way, not for the
replacement of the one discharged but
for another Chinaman."
Policy Roundly Scored.
z. NJ Anderson, in charge of the
Threlkeld agency in Portland, defenGs
Threlkelds policy in this respect, Gram
states and ascrlbes his preference for
Chinese cooks to their greater depend
ability.
This" Gram writes, 'is a gross libel
on the cooks of this state, and, 1 feel,
not necessary of refutation in this con-
nection"
Gram regards it as particularly un-
fortunate that an employer should pur-
sue such a course at this time with
many ex-service men willing and able
who, under fire. followed this vocation
and now in peace time-within the
sphere of Mr.. Threlkeld's influence
are denied the opportunity for employ
-ment."
Hines is asked to use his authority
as head Of the railroad system to cor
rect the practice.

CONFERENCE ON
TREATY DELAYED
UNTIL TOMORROW

Washington, Jan. 29.-Negotiatfons
between democratic and republican
leaders of the senate who apparently
have approached a deadlock on the
peace treaty compromise will not be
resumed until tomorrow, the meeting
of the bipartisan committee planned
for today having been postponed be-
cause of the absence of Senator Len
root of Wisconsin, one of the republi-
can leaders.
Course Is Uncertain.
There was much discussion of what
course friends of the treaty should
take if the bipartisan negotiations
ended without an agreement. Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, the admins
tration leader has told the republicans
that in such an eventuaHty he pro-
posed to move to take up the treaty in
the open senate, but he said today he
would not do that until all hope of
by private negotiation had
Meantime it developed that some
democratic senator's were inclined to
the belief that nothing would be gain
ed by throwing the treaty back into
the senate in the near future These
senators disagreed with Senator Hitch
cock that a majority would be certain
to support such move while among
republicans it was confidently predict
ed that it would fail.
Official Body Proposed.
1t was suggested that should the
unofficial bipartisan committee come
to q final deadlock, an effort might be
made to put through the resolution Of
Senator Underwood, democrat, Ala
bama, to create an official conciliation
committee of ten senators. The titu-
lar party leaders on both sides, how
ever, indicated that they saw little
hope of securing an agreement by that
course.
