(Spo-eial to The Itepistor) Uefrlnnine on Monday morning, the legislative power or tne state or orepon will be centered in Halem, where the 31st session will convene, but today It hovers about the hotel lobbies of I'ortlund. 1 lorn I It a lMiulfirn Drerrrin ri Mnrrri fin ii mfno-lit with lhr.ni fi-nm tho lower Columbia river valley and a jitrKO proportion of the Willamette valley solons, who trek here for con ference and communion before the session opens.

Looking uhead, the indications now are that this will be an independent and harmonious session, but the achievement of this ideal depends very largely upon the president and ppeaker, both of whom have been decided upon. One of the first orders of business after the legislature convenes Monday morning" at 10 o'clock will be the election of Hoy V. Rltner of Pendleton, president of the senate. Louis K. Iteun will be elected speaker of the house, and both elections will undoubtedly be by unanimous ballot.

With these contests out of the the session should get down to busi ness on the opening day and there should be plenty of time for thei of committees and the mak- ln assignments. prnnr T-tati I linn Probably Gov- OREGON SENAT Olcott will read hinilliiK illwrmumnnl nicrM-iiient cun.Frunk Kil wards of Junction city Dies MORNING REGISTER Tim Unillirr Jf "now ant portion; WIH.

British "White Paper" Purports to Show Irish Intrigue With Germans During War CASEMENT ARCH PLOTTER John Devoy Chief Agent in U. S. for Sinn Fein and "Ally" LIMERICK RISING ABETTED VOX BERNSTORKF ADVISED GFR-3IANY OF EASTER PLOT, ASKING THAT ARMS BE REST AND OTHER AID GIVEN" LONDON, Jan. 8. Correspondence which passed between the German embassy at Washington and the Berlin foreign office, In which names ot several Irish-Americans are mentioned to show connection between of the Sinn Fein and the German government during the war, wus issued by the government today In the form of a "White Paper." After the arrival of Sir Roger Casement In Berlin in 1914, he sent messages through the foreign office In Berlin and the German embassy at Washington, according to these documents, to Judge John Devoy and others regarding his mission to Germany.

This, It Is declared, finally led Count Von Bernstorff, then ambassador to the United States, to send to the foreign office in February, 1916, a dispatch "surreptitiously attachedto a message concerning the Lusitania." saying that Devoy had Informed him of the rising to begin In Ireland Easter Sunday and asking that' arms be sent to Limerick Good Friday or Easter Saturday. This was followed by correspondence arranging details of the assistance the Germans were to give. Pamphlet Widely "The white paper" makes reference to pamphleta on the subjects of Ireland and Germany, freedom -of fie seas and others. In the publication of which Kuno Meyer, professor' of languages at Liverpool, and Sir Roger Casement collaborated, 'and which were widely circulated in Germany and America In 1911-1912. Sir Roger, who was in America.at' the qutbreak of the war, proceeded to Germany in 1914, maintaining communication with Mr.

Devoy," who, the paper says, remained as chief agent i in America In the communications be tween Germany and the Sinn Fein. There some 0 cpmmrniica-r tions from the beginning of September. 1914, to November, 1918, most of them from the German embassy at' Washington to the foreign office at Berlin. Others were communications from the Berlin foreign office to the German embassy at Madrid and frotn Nauen to Mexico. Some.

were marked "most secret." The paper concludes wth appendixes setting forth a memorandum of the organization of the Irish army found in the possession of Eamonn Do Valera- when he was arrested, which Is said to havo been Jn Bis own handwriting, and a brief statement on Ireland's case before the "powers to be assembled in a peace conference." Smuggling of Arms Advised! A Berlin foreign office message dated August 17 (1915)' Informed the German ambassador at Madrid that "an agent will shortly from Buenos Aires. You should communicate his wishes and suppo.rt him In -every way. He is instructed that the first steps to take would be to organ- lze the smuggling of arms, from South America and the United States into Ireland. An undertaking'of this -nature must not be made from Spain. In the second place the question arises of sending arms from Germany by the Mocwe or a submarine in the event of its being possible, to fix tho place and time for landing them.

There Is no question whatsoever of landing German troops In Ireland." Dr. Alfred Zlmmermann, then under-secretary for foreign Naffalrs, Informed the German embassy at Washington, November 3, 1914, that "Casement has arrived. His proposals are being carefully gone into." Casement Says Mission Not Revealed The sume month Sir Roger through the German embassy at Washington sent word to Judge COhalan at York, as "They are-vgn'or-ant here "of the purpose of "my coming to Gormany. Here everything is favorable; the authorities are helping Send messenger who has been fully informed verbally to Ireland immediately. He should be a nutive American citizen; otherwise his arrest is likely." On December 14 the "white paper" indicates the German embassy at Washington sent the following message to Sir Roger! "There have been purchased for India 11,000 rifles and cartridges.

Devoy doesn't think It possiblo to ship them to Ireland. I nm trying to buy rifles for Turkey In South America." Other correspondence contained In tho paper that the J. T. Nicholson of Philadelphia "is ready to start for Germany" and that Joseph McGarrlty of Philadelphia, J. P.

Keating of Chicago, and Jeremiah O'Leary of New York "can give particulars regarding persons 'suitabio for carrying out sabotage in the United States and Canada." LIGHTNING WRECKS HOME BOIT STRIKES COUNTRY RESIDENCE OF E. G. BATES SEASIDE. Jan. 8.

Another olff storm, with wind, hall and rain, is la progress iho nf iinllons was I 1. rly Mond ay afternoon, un-j less tho governor himself should ask sumo chamse 'n ihis schedule. Whether this Is a harmonious ses- will In a largo measure depend upon the extent to which President lutncr and Speaker Bean exercise discretion in tho making of commit- tee assignments. Opposition to Rltner Withdrawn Rltner had opposition at tlrt-but of Roseburg, left the race. Kitner is fair and does not at tempt to build a machine, he will have clear sailing and support from tho Independent members of the senate.

Representative Bean has had no opposition for the speaker's place and. Iienco there will be no reason for him to be partisan in I1L3 appoint ments. There will be no end of legislation to occupy the attention of the mem bets during this session if the pre dictions of a majority of the mem bcrship which is now in Portland arof .10 ouc Highway legislation will occupy a huge place again this year and it Is probable that a bill will be passed authorizing the issuance of 000 mora bonds for road work. Bills governing the traffic on the state highways, now being- rapidly cut to pieces and worn out faster than the state can lay new roads, will also be fsh and game legislation, already practically a6ieeU upon by which the duties of the two commissions will be separated and clearly defined, will be presumed and undoubtedly will pass. Bond Houses to Bej ItegiUntod Tho recent crash of Morris Brothers, will probably bo responsible for the introduction of bills placing bond houses under stato supervision and removing from the state treasurer the right to invest and soil stato bonds.

Legislation intended to affect primarily tho i'ort of Portland, but which indirectly will affect tho en-tiro state, will be introduced to permit the consolidation of tho Portland iock commission and tho Port commission; of the Port of Portland. Already six proposed port bills have been submitted to tho Multnomah county delegation and moro aro being drawn. A number of changes in the workmen's compensation act, rocommend-ed by a special committee appointed by the governor, will bo submitted to the legislature, and present Indications are that they will receive hearty sup port. Anti-Japanese legislation, designed to protect the state from tho dangers of Oriental land grabbing, will be sponsored by tho American Legion and other veto run organizations, as well as some business interests. Tourist Burmu Irovidod For A bill to provide for the creation of a state tourist bureau, to provide authentic information for tourists and to ndvertiso the attractions of the stale, will be introduced by members of the Multnomah dolcgation.

The parole board will come in for a great deal of attention, it appears, und a bill is almost certain to bo Introduced calling for a reorganization of tho board and the elimination of all criminal lawyerH from its membership.
