Audirni-e KlneH Solemnly. "Compared with these murders." Dr. Sokoloff said. "Nebuchadnezzar was a nobleman." During his denunciation the audi ence arose solemnly as an indorse ment of his views. He urged a policy of mutual help and solidarity toward the Arab and Christian communities In Palestine. Professor Chayim Weimzann, the noted Zionist, in his address to the conference, made an eloquent appeal to Jews throughout the world to co operate with the Zionists in the re establishment of Palestine.

Hitchcock, ex-postmaster-general and a Wood manager. Money Is Returned. Nat Goldstein and Kobert Moore. the two St. Louis delegates to the republican national convention, who previously admitted receiving $2500 each to help Lowden's interest-!, pre served canceled checks as proof they had returned the money. J. L. Babler described the dis bursement of Feveral thousanj Col lars and said that sums given to E. K. K. McJimsey and Ttoscoe Patter son of Springfield, Mo., candidates fi.r governor and representative, re spectively, were intended to further the Lowden interest, but the recip ients migiu have thought the n:oney was for their own campaigns. "I discussed the Lowden campa'sn with them, though," said Babler. Mr. Kesterson was closely questioned by Senator Reed concerning the Tifi Ttooscvelt fight in 1912. He said that K. :1 Morse employed him fr J23 a day and expent.es to boost Taft and raid him in cash, making him in dorse blank checks at the same time. Wltnesa Declared Giddy." 1 received about 25 on each check," said Kesterson, "while they were cashed for up to $250. During the Lowden campaign Morse gave me $700, but I thought it was to make up the difference between what I re ceived and what he got on the checks in 1912. He also gave me $100 to ad vertise a meeting where Senator Johnson spoke in behalf of John E. Frost, candidate for congress." Morse declared that Kesterson "was giddy" and that he knew nothing of any such checks. He presented a batch of checks six inches high which totaled more than $30,000 and which represented money spent in behalf of Governor Lowden, he said. Other witnesses told of money re ceived from Morse, most of them say ing they understood it was to be spent to elect unlnstructed delegates who were favorable to Lowden. John Albus of St. Joseph, Mo., ex plained that "a popular man was made a candidate for delegate and that while the man chosen was favor able to Lowden he openly was looked upon as unlnstructed." M. K. Rhodes filed a sworn state ment in which he denied receiving any money from Babler for any pur pose while Babler testified he gave Rhodes $200 of which $170 was re turned. Mr. Loeb said he was called Into conference with George A. Whalen. Rufus Patterson, Colonel Ambrose Monell, Zoth Freeman and others to give his opinion as to what Wood's campaign would cost. "1 estimated the expense at $1,000. 000." he told the committee. Colonel Monell underwrote $250,000. Mr. Whalen $250,000, William Cooper Procter $250,000, and I agreed to get the rest." Loeb presented checkbooks show ing the amounts he received. A mil lion dollars, Mr. Loeb said at one point, is a small amount for a na tional campaign. "I want It plainly understood," he added, "that not a promise was made by the general or his friends to a single contributor." Donation Given Church. After Mr. Loeb was excused Jacob L. Babler was recalled and questioned by Senator Reed concerning confer ences during the Lowden campaign. Asked about a $100 item for the "Tabernacle Baptist church in St. Louis," Babler said there had been some feeling against Lowden because of the East St. Louis, 111., race riots. "This money was to allay that feel ing, then?" asked Senator Reed. "I had talked with the colored mem bers of this church," Babler said when Senator Reed interrupted to ask: "And you thought this $100 would add force to your argument. It was the persuasive force of green backs?" "1 wouldn't say that," the witness rejoined. Babler said he was asked to con tribute to the church and also at the same time discussed the campaign with the church members. "Then the contribution and the campaign help you wanted were inti mately connected?" Senator Reed asked. "N'o, but one followed the other." The Item was marked "returned to L. L. Emerson" (the Lowden campaign manager) and Senator Reed com mented he "supposed when the colored brethren found out it was political money they returned it and washed their hands of the whole wicked transaction." "I suppose so," said Babler. Colonel W. Cooper Procter of Cin cinnati, who managed the campaign of General Wood, said today that he knew absolutely nothing about the underwriting of the Wood campaign fund for a million dollars, as he was not present at the meeting. PALMER'S ACTS TO BE PROBED Inquiry Into Department Policy Promised by Senators. CHICAGO. July 7. The senate com mittee investigating pre-convention campaign expenditures plans to "delve thoroughly into the campaign of Attorney-General A. Mitchell Palmer" before adjourning its hear ings, Chairman Kenyon said tonight. In this connection,. Edward F. Goltra of St. Louis, democratic national committeeman, and Joseph T. Davis, a St. Louis lawyer, have been sub penaed. In addition to questioning Davis and Goltra, the committee will inves tigate charges filed today by Will lam Armstrong, Chicago lawyer, that the department of justice had been instrumental in granting pardons to alleged criminals who' might help politically and had blocked prosecu tion by the government of persons trying to gain several hundred thou sand dollars' by illegal means. Mr. Armstrong's documents consist ed of a printed book of 52 pages. Mr. Armstrong charged the depart ment of justice with attempting "to prevent indictments being returned against the New York Central rail road by a federal grand jury" and said "a democratic member of con gress" agreed with "a certain person to obtain $327,178.13 from the gov ernment on post-war claims if given 25 per cent." Details of his charges are expected to be brought out later. Mr. Goltra is in San Francisco, it is said, and may not be able to reach here for several days. If he can get here this week, he will appear before the committee immediately, but if de layed, he probably will be called at another hearing. Senator Kenyon said. WOMEN EDUCATORS DEB EQUALITY Representation on All Pro grammes Demanded. VOTE "DEAL" REPORTED llilllilillllllllllUllllllllllllllllllllllllllIM Fred M. Hunter of Oakland, Cal., Reported Slated for President on Promise of Lending Aid. SALT LAKE CITT, July 7. New grasp on the affairs of the National Education association, in session here. has been taken by women members as a class. "The national council of administrative women" at its meet ing today pledged itself to obtain for women equal representation with men on all programmes, boards and committees of "all organizations in which both men and women are ad mitted to membership, including especially state and national educa tion associations." There is a report current in many association channels that leading women members have assured Fred M. Hunter, superintendent of schools of Oakland, Cal., of their support for the presidency and in return have been assured of the backing of the Hunter leaders for placing at least two women in important positions In the association's administration. vr York Man Is Seated. According to this report, Olive Jones of New York, president of the New York City Principals' association, will be made the nominating committee's choice for member of the board of trustees. C. G. Pearse, president of the Wis-f consin state normal school at Mil waukee, addressed today's general session on the need for "sports to build bodies." He cited figures from the selective draft statistics to In dicate physical unfitness in the pres ent generation. The council of administrative wom en issued an appeal to each state council subordinate to it to aid in teacher recruiting by carrying out a propaganda plan which it outlined. Americanization, which has been a topic in the fore of this convention, was the theme of several addresses at a banquet of the American Citizen ship league today. Ohio Representative Speak. The idea was advanced that Amer icanization work would fall short if it inculcated no more than loyalty aliens and children. Useful, ef fective citienehip, several speakers argued, should be the aim. Simeon D. Fess. representative in congress from Ohio, was the principal speaker. He declared American cit izenship should be established "not by law, but by education," asserting Alexander Hamilton stood for one great essential of citizenship, "the preservation of the fundamentals of government," and Thomas Jefferson for the other, "the preservation of liberty." He went on: "Both were right. We must hold fast to the fundamentals while we preserve our liberty. While we are guaranteed liberties we are under obligation to respect law and government. Only by thorough-going system of public education . . . can we establish American citizenship' based on the foundation advocated . . . by Ham ilton and Jefferson."

It must not be forgotten that so great were the demands on the treasury during the war that appropriations for all kinds of internal improve merits were to a large extent cur tailed. "One of the most important things for the development of the state is road construction. Some time before adjournment I introduced a bill ex tending the provisions of the so called Bankhead bill. Quite extensive hearings .have been had on thi: measure by the committee on post offices and postroads, but I am hope ful that when congress reconvenes favorable consideration may be given to it. The states are coming to real ize that for every mile of good road built its cost has added to the value to that extent to adjacent territory. In addition to that, properly con structed roads and the use of trucks not only bring the market closer to the producer, thus adding to the value of his product, but tend to solve the congested freight situation. Veterans Hela Remembered. . "Congress has not forgotten either the veterans of other wars or those of the world war. The young men of Oregon in this last great war proved themselves to be worthy scions of noble sires. They fought a splendid fight, and besides winning for them selves an imperishable place on the scroll of fame, gave Oregon a place in the annals of trro world. "There are many matters of legis lation affecting the state which I will discuss at some later date as oppor tunity affords, but this brief state cent is intended mainly to let the people of this splendid state know how delighted I am to be back amongst them once more." Among the democrats at the sta tion to greet Senator Chamberlain were Oswald vv est. Elton Watkins, John D. Mann. Dr. Elof Hedlund, John LaTour. Milton A. Miller, George Smith and Thomas Williams. RED TRADE BAR REMOVED (Continued From First Page.) is very limited, and that for these reasons there will not be any con siderable trade, if any, with Russia, this government, however, docs not feel that the law-abiding people in Russia should be deprived of any assistance which can be derived from such trading as may be possible. The attitude of the' United States toward the recognition of any faction in control of soviet Russia has not changed. This government is not willing by means of political recog nition to lend positive assistance to a faction whose disregard of the prin ciples of democracy is evidenced at home by the maintenance of a minor ity despotism, and abroad by an in sidious campaign of propaganda to subvert popular governmental insti tutions expressive of the will of the majority." Traffic Long Limited. Trade between the United States and Russia has been prohibited since the bolshevik! gained control in that country a year before the end of the world war. Even before that time it had been limited because of the de moralized condition of the Russian railroads. Some exports, mostly war material, had been sent to Vladivo stok and Archangel, but much of it never was moved to the interior. Requests that the state department lift the ban on trading with the soviet authorities have been made by many American exporting and other busi ness firms and American government officials long have desire to remove the restrictions so that the suffering people might be aided In spite of the bolsheviki. Fears had been voiced. however, that whatever went into the country for that population would be seized by the bolsheviki and convert ed to their uses. Coincident with the state depart ment's announcement of the removal of most of the restrictions on trade with Russia, the war trade board section of the department issued a 'zm Winthrop Hammond Co. Im Khmiuiihiii tntnni The Clothing Situation So many of our patrons ask, "When are prices to come down?" that we feel it ad visable to give such' inf orma tion as we have at our com mand. The price-cutting hysteria begun in New York in May, was merely the surface "fright" caused by restricted bank loans in the big money centers, and in no sense did it represent a reduction in man ufacturing costs. Clothing costs for next fall delivery are a trifle in excess of those of last season, and just so long as a scarcity of labor exists in the eastern woolen mills and in the tailor shops, just so long will the present level of prices exist. Labor represents 809o of the cost of a suit and whether wool is 75c or 40c per pound, the cost of the three pounds of wool necessary to produce a suit makes but little differ ence to the consumer in the price of his suit. From the best advices ob tainable it would seem that no further advances in the costs of wearing apparel will be made that the peak has been reached and while pre war prices will not be seen in this generation, a gradual and slow recession of prices will take place.

Export Licenses Required. Under these rulings individual ex port licenses would be necessary for the shipment to Hungary, Austria, Bulgaria or Turkey of any materials susceptible of immediate use for war purposes. Such materials include lo comotives, railroad rolling stock and motor cars. It is also provided that materials imported into this country may be exported to Russia or any other country without individual license when . they are conveyed in transit through the territory or via any port of the United States. The same exceptions are made as to the shipment of war materials to Russia and the other four countries as is made with Russia to such materials originating in the United States. The board also amended its gen eral trade license so as to authorize all persons In the United States to trade and communicate with all per sons with whom trade and communi cation were prohibited by the trad-ing-with-the-enemy act, subject, how ever, to the limitations on trade in war materials and property which has been seized by the alien property custodian or which has been reported to him as enemy property.
