THE OHEGONIAX, TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1920 mnininiTn mil. rnn ! Aonnftiiio rtw run 10 CONGRESS OIL M Incumbents May Have No Op position at Primaries. M'ARTHUR FIELD CLEAR Democrats Expected to Have Can didates on Ballot for Election in Xoicmbcr. Representatives Hawley, Sinnott and McArthur apparently are to have little or no opposition in the repub lican primaries this year. The only representative concerning: whom there ever has been a hint of opposition is Mr. Hawley, and that has made no headway. Half a dozen republicans have been looking at the situation in the eecond congressional district, which Mr. Hawley represents, but none of them has screwed Iiis courage to the stick ins point. State Senator Lachmund of Salem would dearly like to try his strength against that of Sir. Hawley. They both claim Marion county as their residence. State Senator Nor blad of Astoria, who was mentioned as a possibility last year, appears to have shelved his ambition in that di rection, at least for the present. State Senator Thomas of Medford, who had the position under advisement, may yet announce himself. State Senator Vinton of McMinnville would not be averse to being congressman, and while Representative Hare of "Wash ington county was said to be mulling over the matter, he intimated the last night of the special 'session that he doesn't care for office any more, not withstanding what Representative Lewis said regarding Mr. Hare. Conference Is Held. With the exception of Senator Nor blad, all of the legislators mentioned belong to the -same group and played the same game in the regular and special sessions of the legislature. They were the chief speakers against the state fish and game commission and the road paving, and they held a star-chamber 'conference in Portland last week to. map out an initiative fight against these two subjects for November. Apparently there is a clash of am bitions which is partly responsible for a hesitancy in making announce ments. Meantime Mr. Hawley is not worrying. In the second congressional district there are a few republicans willing to Bucceed Mr. Sinnot, but instead of opposing him in the primaries, they hope to see a republican president elected who will appoint Mr. Sinnott as secretary of the interior depart ment and thus cause a vacancy in the second district. The position Mr. Sinnott has attained on the publio lands committee, a committee of much importance to eastern Oregon, Is such I that the average aspirant would think twice before losing this place to the district. Lafferty Folds Teat. In Multnomah county, the third dis trict, Mr. McArthur will not be op posed by his regular opponent, A. W. r-arterty. who folded his tent and disappeared when the officers of the law began searching for him. Since Lafferty eliminated himself no one else has talked of running. There were a few tentative feelers thrown out. iisi summer, out nothing was done, so that for a new man to pop up in the field at this late day would necessitate a particularly hard cam paign against the incumbent. Demo crats have entertained some hopes of naving a nominee against Mr. Mc Arthur in the final election, but fnso. far as the republican primaries are concerned he evidently will have clear sailing. CAMP SITES IN PROSPECT ACCOMMODATIONS FOR AUTO TOURISTS TO BE PROVIDED. Locations In Sell-wood, Along Sandy Boulevard and Near Interstate I BridgeUnder Consideration. Three camp sites will be established In Portland during the next two months for the accommodation of automobile tourists. Locations will be determined at a meeting of the camp site committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce Thursday noon, at which time City Commissioner Pier, in charge of the park bureau, will outline tentative plans. It is probable one will be estab lished in Sellwood; another is pro posed near the Interstate bridge, and the third near the Sandy boulevard. The city now conducts a camp near the Forestry building. Because of the construction of a huge warehouse there by Montgomery, Ward & Co., it is probable this site will be aban doned. According to Commissioner Pier a Cite of not less than ten acres will be required in each instance. It will be the policy of the city, he says, to lease the property at a nominal figure. If such arrangements cannot be made the city will purchase. All sites will be equipped with mod ern appliances, comfort stations In stalled, free water made available, and gas ranges provided for cooking. Portland has long been backward in providing facilities for auto tour ists, which has resulted in much ad verse comment.

Russian conductor, as the big number to be featured by the Rivoll symphony orchestra.

Charles Ray is midway in his new picture, "Homer Comes Home," a dramatization of a novel by Alexan der Hull. Agnes Christine Johnston wrote the scenario. Priscilla Bonner plays the feminine lead.

Mary Miles Minter narrowly, es caped death last week while on a long automobile trip between San Francisco and Los Angeles, when her chauffeur lost control of the car. Had it not been for the quick work of William , Desmond Taylor, Miss Minter's director, who accompanied the little star and her mother on the trip, the whole party might have landed at the bottom of a steep prec ipice. with its cloth. Those present with Mr. Bowman were F. S. Bates of As toria, C. J. Fulton of Eugene. Dan C. Keating of Marshfield, J. J. Kroriholm of North Bend, and George H. Rotnor, buyer, and Walter H.

TO Crowds Who Will Attend Conven tion Seem to Have Been Under estimated, Says Committee. "We're coming with a band and pa trol and will want at least 125 rooms in a downtown hotel." This message "is a fair sample of re quests that are coming in from all over the country to the 1920 Shrine convention committee headquarters. 'We've cared for 20,000 persons al ready and requests are just beginning to come in. There Isn't space for an other soul in the hotels and now it's up to the schoolhouses, churches and private homes to supply lodging," de clared Mark Woodruff, secretary of the committee. "It looks as though we have estimated far below the num ber that are going to be here and Portland Is going to be up against it. We've got to get 30,000 rooms in pri vate homes somehow. Between 1500 and 2000 applicants for these rooms are on our lists already, and have not been placed." C. E. Beebe and W. C. Austin of Butte, Mont., were here arranging for their headquarters and obtaining ac commodations for 250 Shriners.

France and Great Britain won't on account of their pocketbooks. Do you Imagine the United States will go to war with Japan to help China? No; no. If Japan ought to. get out of Chin Great Britain and France should go, and go first." These were some of the sentiments expressed yesterday by Dr. Howard Agnew Johnston, who addressed the members of the Port land Woman's Research club at the club luncheon in the Hotel Benson yesterday. His subject was "The Shantung Question. ... Dr. Johnston reviewed interestingly ine war oi when "poor Corea became the buffer of the nations near by; when Japan had as its model Prussianism." He stated that Japan had developed materialistically, when it obtained money, Formosa and con cessions In Manchuria and had later been compelled to return the last named. He spoke of the war of 1904, when Japan got Corea in its control and when Japan became a dominant power. He epoke of the secret trea ties made and of their conditions; of the situation as it stood in 1914, and gradually unfolded the account of the dealings of Japan during that war. He spoke of the "unspeakable de mands made on China by the Japan ese" as absolutely unjust. He said that the military regime In Pckin controls politics and that the same military group is controlled by the Japanese and that 80 per cent of the men of China can't read. He told of the tentative republic in south China. He referred to the silent boycott started by the students in the univer sities of China and termed the "peo ples party the ray of light for China." But he left as his closing word, "Tht. future of China can only be written now as a question mark." Mrs. Alexander Thompson reported for the legislative committee, saying that all the bills indorsed by the Port land Woman's Research club had been passed by the legislature. Mrs. G. L. Buland, Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Edith Knight Hill are members of the- legis lative committee. Mrs. S. L. Loekwood presided at the luncheon and Mrs. E. J. Steele at the business session that followed. The oriental question was further discussed by Barge Leonard, who told of the great Increase in the Japanese population Q? Hood River, and of conditions in California and of the stand that the American Legion has taken on the matter. He mentioned the Japanese men who control the Japanese interests in this country told of the picture brides, of the fact that the Japanese do not assimilate and that their colonies are causing their neighbors to move away. Both addresses met with hearty ap preciation and applause. Music by talented young people, a short and sincere talk by Miss Lutie Stearns, who spoke on "A Dream for Portland." and an appeal for Armenia by Mrs. O. Lamson of Seattle, an Ar menian woman educated In this coun try, made up the programme. A de lightful menu was served. The tables 1 in ELAYA g .
