TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1920 IS THREE CLUBS BID BEAVER Pennington May Be Sold Hartford, Conn. to SOUTH WILL GET FARMER Jadre McCredie to Amputate His Flock of Books in Order to Conserve Food Supply. Like the fisherman in "one of the vaudeville sketches this week the Portland ball club had several "nib bles" yesterday. Three different east ern and southern ball clubs put In bids for various Beavers. As a result Pitcher Pennington, who jumped Portland in mid-season last year, like ly will be sold for a cash considera tion to the Hartford (Conn.) club of the Eastern league. Walter McCredie also announced that he probably would accept one of the two offers that came in for Out' fielder Jack Farmer. Nashville and Birmingham both of the Southern association want the heavy hitting gardener. Which of the two lanufi him will depend upon which proffers the greatest amount of bullion. Even then Mack may send him else where, for he has a prospective deal on with New Orleans for a trade of Farmer for Pitcher Torkelson of that club. New Orleans may come through before Mack has time to consummate his deal with either Nashville 01 Birmingham. This much is certain, however Farmer will not be with the Port land club next season. His home is at Nashville and he is wintering there Walter Mark said he expected to use Maisel, Schaller and Walker as his outfield regulars. Farmer was ill a great deal of the time last season but he improved wonderfully after the trouble was located in a bad set of tonsils and the tonsils extracted. He has a nice personality and the fans will be sorry to see him depart. So far as Pennington is concerned he didn't stick around the Pacific Coast league long enough to give the bugs a chance to properly size him up. Walter McCredie says he had a lot of stuff and while his winning per centage isn't bulky he loet a lot of tough 2-1 games. Pennington jumped the club and went home to Brook lyn because his wife didn't like the Oregon climate. After leaving the coast he journeyed east and played semi-professional ball In the shipyards league around New York.

Because Martin Erlweln is said to have told the German consul at San Francisco and others that he would never have taken the oath of alle glance to the United States had he thought this country would ever go to war with Germany, efforts will be made to cancel his citizenship papers and cause his deportation to Germany as an undesirable alien. United States Attorney Humphreys yesieraay tued a petition in federal court asking that Erlwein's citizen ship be canceled. Erlwein was born in Germany 50 years ago, but is said to have spent nearly half his life in this country. He became an American citizen in 1908 when he procured his final papers in the circuit court at Jacksonville, Or. When war broke out, Erlwein sen his name to the German consul at San Francisco and announced his read: ness for military service as a reserv 1st with the armies of the fatherland He was informed that he could not be taken because he was an American citizen. It was then he la alleged to have announced he never would have become a citizen of this country had he known this country would evero to war with Germany. The cancellation will be sought on the ground that Erlwein made fraudu lent representations when he took his oath of allegiance to this country. Mr. Humphreys charges that Erlwein tools the oath with mental reserva tions. Erlwein is a far-ier living near Gold Hill, Or. Action was started by the United States attorney because of the complaints against Erlwein and his alleged continued pro-Germanism by residents of that part of the state His record during the war is said not to have been all that could be ex pected of an Americna citizen.

Wholesale Rise In Fees Followed by "Disciplining" of Cer tain Members. SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 19. (Spe claL) Following their recent whole sale advance in the scale of fees for professional services, physicians who belong to the Spokane County Medical society will now discipline members who refuse to give op contract work. Perplexing problems of professional ethics have thus been presented to 22 members of the society following its adoption of a resolution that failure to give up contract work will result in being dropped in membership i the organization. The "contract" physi cians are all men who axe very prom inent in their profession. Seventeen have decided to retain their contracts and defy the "closed shop" ethics of the contractless physicians. Prior to adopting the anti-contract rule the society excluded physicians working for steam railroads. At later date the society adopted the rule that included all contract physicians, not excepting those aoting for lodges of insurance organisations. This is the society which recently adopted a new and higher scale of prices for professional visits at the home, raising from $3 to $5; advanced the fees for treatment at offices and even fixed a scale for advice by tele phone. The rates for surgical cases were made sta'ndard and increased from 20 to BO per cent. BE5CJLMPS CASE BAFFLES BUTCHER MURDER ANT) DISAP PEARANCE rXSOLVED. Ttasgr othi 51 it lb hum What Lincoln said ( From mn rnddrmmm by Abraham Unco In to tho Workman' Association in 1864 " Property is the fruit of labor; property is desir able; is a positive good in the world .... Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." When the talk turns from politics to railroads, and tha traveler with the cocksure air breaks in with, "There's ' an' awful lot of 'water' in the railroads," here are some hard-pan facts to give him: American railroads have cost $80,900 a mile road-' bed, structures, stations, yards, terminals, freight and passenger trains every thing from the great city term inals to the last spike. A good concrete -and -asphalt highway costs $36,000 a mile just a bare road, not counting the cost of cul verts, bridges, etc. Our railroads couldn't be duplicated today for $150,000 a mile. They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile much less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive. English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile; tha French at $155,000; German, $132,000; even in Canada (still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for all foreign countries is $100,000. Low capitalization and high operating efficiency have enabled American railroads to pay the highest wages while charging the lowest rates. cffiis advertisement is published by the Slssociation of Railway Executives Those desiring information concerning the railroad situation may obtain literature by writing to The Association of Railway Executives, 61 Broadway, New York.
