MILLIONS IF SALMON EGCS ABOARD EVANS
 ENR0UTE WASH, IRE.

Once more the blase race of sal mon that make their headquarters in the rivers of Washington and Oregon are to be given a taste of high life when a new immigration of blooded, hogh-poWered Alas ka sockeyes reach their waters to show them what a real salmon should do.
 On the Admiral Evans leaving Seward yesterday, the fish commis- Sioner is sending 5000,O00 red sal mon eggs to various hatcheries in the northwest where they will eventually be placed in the streams and rivers to have their being and to move thence out to sea and re- turn again to the scene of their adolence, begat in Alaska but born in Washington and Oregon The bones of their forebears have long since disappeared in the wiffles of the Iitnik on Afognak Island but the youngesters will never know the joys of these Alaska currents; instead they will probably be trying to climb Mt Reinier about four years hence.
 The shipment, from the Litnik hatchery, is part of the 22,00o,OO0 sockeye eggs in incubation there marking one of the most successful seasons since the year of the big smoke -1912-when Kodiak and Afognak were buried under several feet of ash from Mt Katmai in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. They were taken during the season under the direction of F. L. Snipes, hatchery superintendent and go out under the personal charge of H. D. Baer, who will deliver them at Seattle. The eggs are packed in moss covered trays and covered with ice to suspend the process of incubation in transit.

The final step to American par
ticipation in the conference will not
be accomplished until the formal in
vitations are received from the COM

ssked to act for the commission,
said the acceptances received by him
virtually concluded the matter.
Although Thomas w. Lamont, 4
Morgan partner, was not mentioned
by the Sir Esme as an alternate
there was general expectation that
his name would be forwarded to the
commission after today's conference
At any rate 1t generally was lex

Sir Esme said the question of add

representatives he said, would be
mainly to discuss various aspects OF
their cooperation and the probable
time of their arrival In Paris.

New York, said Sir Esme. was to bid
goodbye to his two sons who sailed
for England on the Majestic at mid

Executive Session

Washington, January - R-The
senate set the whole Of today aside
for consideration Of the nomination
of Roy O. West Of Chicago to be
secretary Of the interior. 1t spent
three hours yesterday arguing
whether its deliberations should be
in open or closed session. Three votes
finally determined that the usual
procedure OF executive meetings
would be pursued In the considera-
ton Of Vests case although the
hearings on his nomination conduct
by the senate lands committee were
open and the testimony has been
published.
Dcnecn Favorable
Senator Deneen. republican, Him
OILS. has arranged to urge Mr.. Vests

the lands committee. had presented
the motion Of the opposition. This
is directed particularly at past con-
nections the interior secretary has
had with the Samuel insult Power
Utilities companies.
Senator Norris of Nebraska. lead er
of the republican Independents, and
most of this group. including some
democrats are opposing West who
testified before the com mittee that he
had done some casual law work for
Mr.. insult and had invested about
$4,000 in insult companies. This
stock. he said. was sold for about
$11s.000 when he became secretary
last August
Senator Glenn. republican, OF ILL.,
nois. has laid before the senate a re-
port Of the lands committee whihc
voted 3 to I to recommend his con-
ftrmation. Senator Nye late yester-
day presented the minority report.
On Power Bosrd
The opposition is directing atten-
ton also to the fact that Mr.. West
sat as . member of the Federal Pow
er commission which il part of the
secretary's duties in the hearings
on the Cumberland Falls. Kentucky,
waterpower case. The Cumberland
Hydro Electric company, an insult
concern. Is asking a permit to de-
velop waterpower there.
Before the lands committee and
after this hearing Mr.. West volun-
teered to withdraw from participa-
ton In any matters coming before
his department involving the insult
interests.
Senators Nye and Norris waged the
fight yesterday for consideration of
tho nomination In open session. Aft
ter losing on the first roll call a mo-
ton was offered to have the roll call
made public but this also was de-
feated. - to 80. A second motion to
20 into open session also lost.
Friends of West urged the execu-
tive session. insisting that it was the
regular procedure.
