2, THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1921 FOREIGN WAR DEBTS AGITATE CONGRESS JWeflon Refunding Measure v Promises Fireworks. BROAD POWERS FEARED (Republican leaders Insist Fiscal roller Toward Allied Xatious Requires liberal Treatment. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington. D. C. July 1. With the Introduction by Senator Penrose of the foreign debt refunding bill of the administration, the financiers in con gress stepped Into the limelight, and Judging by the first few days of the proceedings in the senate there are more financiers in congress than in Wall street. No doubt there will be a general discussion of the subject throughout the country. It bids fair to share with the tariff the atten tion of congress. Secretary Mellon comes to congress with request for authority to conduct negotiations with our debtor nations, es he has often proceeded In the finanolng- of large operations for private syndicates. Evidently, Presi dent Harding is convinced that better terms can be obtained by this method. In fact, the republican leaders insist this Is the only way that the war finances can be adjusted. This, they declare, is the usual method of con ducting private negotiations. Broad Powers Required. But the administration Is not deal ing with the stockholders or directors of large corporations. It Is asking ex traordinary authority from congress. Congress views the granting of such authority to the executive with dis trust. Every proposition in the ad ministration's financial programme will be placed under the mental microscope of both houses of con gress. Until some action is taken on the bill, billions of dollars will fly around the chamber of the senate like baseballs while a big league team Is warming up for a world's champion ship game. The debate In the house will be short and acrimonious. If congress acts favorably on this legislation, it is the purpose of the administration to convert the existing demand notes of foreign governments Into negotiable bonds and to offer them to the general public. The pro ceeds from such sales will be used. It Is planned, to buy in liberty bonds. This process, it is hoped, will ma terially Increase the market value of the American securities, even though It does not restore them to par. Treasury Department Powerless. President Harding acted on the basis of a communication which he had received from Secretary Mellon, in which the latter pointed out that the treasury department is at present without authority to consent to any extension of the time for payment of the principal or of the interest, or to proceed with the refunding of the de mand notes now held by the United States. The secretary chows fhat the for eign debt held may be summarized as follows: Obligations for advances made un der the various liberty bond acts, t9. 435.225.392. 24. Obligations received from the Amer ican relief administration, $84,003, 963.55. Obligations received from the secre taries of war and the navy on account of the sale of surplus war materials, i65, 048. 413.80. Obligations held by the United States grain corporation, $36,839. 879.09. The grand total of the foreign debt. Inclusive of unpaid Interest, therefore la 110,141. 267,585. 68. More Important Debts. The more important foreign Indebt edness is that under the various lib erty bond acts. In all Great Britain received under these authorizations, $4,166,318,358: France, $2,950,762,938; Italy. $1,648,034,050.90: Belgium. $347, 691,566.23; Czecho-Slovakia, $61,256, 206.74: Rumania, $23,205,819.52; Ser via. $26,175,139.22; Cuba. $9,025,500; Oreece, $15,000,000; Russia, $187,729, 750. and lyiberia. $26,000. Little had been said hitherto re garding the foreign indebtedness arising from the sale of military and ' naval supplies to the governments of Europe. This totals more than $500. 000.000, however, the more important Indebtedness being that of France, which amounts to $400,000,000. Po land purchased $59,636,000 worth of such material; Belgium, $2i,588,000 worth; Rumania, $12,922,000. and Czecho-Slovakia, $20,621,000. Obligations held by the United States government for purchases of American grain through the grain corporation likewise had previously figured very little in the calculations, but they amount, Mr. Mellon shows, to more than $50,000,000. The largest purchasers were $24,055,000, by Aus tralia; $24,353,000. by Poland; $3,931. 000, by Armenia; $2,873,000, by Czecho slovakia, and $1,685,000, by Hungary, rractically all the obligations taken by the American relief administration. amounting in all to more than $84 000,000, came from the smaller states of Europe. Armenia received $8,028, 000; Czecho-Slovakia, $6,426,089; Es thonia, $1,785,000; Finland. $8,281,000; Latvia. $2,610,000: Lithuania. $822,000 Poland. $51,671,000. and Russia, $4,- 465,000. FIGHTERS SET FOR GONG . f on r i n up d From FYrt Ta g. Dempsey will knock out the French soldier in leas than two rounds. Car pentier may last three If he carefully carries out his well-prepared defen' tive fight. One-aided Match Predicted. It Is the most one-6ided heavy weight championship match In history and Carpentier Is the lightest man who ever competed for the title. We cannot dignify the bout by call ing It a contest. It should be styled an "exhibition," for that is what It is, pure and simple. George Lewis Rickard, the silent Kevadan, will play to the biggest and most representative fight crowd vc assembled. Ha announced late tonight that the sale of tickets had reached a total of $1,350,000 and pre dict -d that every one of the more than 91.000 seats will be disposed of and that the gate will pass the $1,500,000 mark. Despite all reports to the contrary, Dempsey and Carpentler will fight in an 18-foot ring. Eight-ounce gloves will be used, although most of the padding ts'around the wrists. ' Tonight there was an abundance of Carpentier money going begging at 1 to 3, or rtm at 1 to 2. and It is predicted that by tomorrow the odds will have shrunk to 2 to 1. Many are letting sentiment overcome good Judgment. Partly cloudy and somewhat warmer weather for tomorrow Is promised by the weather bureau, with a tempera ture of 85 degrees. The heavy "Oregon mist" of the last three days ceased falling late this afternoon. Tex" Rickard save that only heavy rainfall . lasting throughout tomorrow morning will force a postponement until Monday. Today 500 policemen and 200 fire men, drilled and trained to emergency work within the huge arena and be tween It and the ferries and tube stations, are ready to 'handle the crowd. More than 700 newspaper men and feature writers have their typewriters well oiled, and many telegraph wires run direct to the ringside. Corre spondents are here from nearly every nation. Dempsey will enter the ring wear ing his usual three-day growth of heavy black whiskers. He says that it serves as a steel cast. The heads of champion and challenger are well shorn. Eugene Corrl. famous British ref eree, arrived from London today. He comes as the guest of Rickard. Corrl said Carpentler had told him after his first visit here that "Dempsey was very nice, hut that he was made for him." Dtmpicr'i Morale Umskake. New York has swallowed the great crowd as easily as a great pit swal lows a small pebble, hut every hotel lobby Is Jammed' with dyed-in-the-wool fight bugs rehashing-past cham pionships. More than S000 women will attend. Dempsey's morale is not shaken, despite the fact that the majority are openly "for" the Frenchman. The champion says that his conscience Is clear in regard to his action during the war and that he'll answer his critics when he gets his foe Inside the ropes. No hoxer ever concentrated hetter than does the son of the west. Once In his corner he'll see nothing but the man in front of him. We do not be lieve the "slacker" charges will both er him. It is also our belief that Dempsey was badly advised during the war and that he has received a lot of unjust abuse. The champion will be seconded by Kearns. Teddy Hayes and a couple of towel swingers. Francois Descamps, Trainer Gus Wilson and Charley Le doux will be "behind" the challenger. Society people, men of trade,, bank ers, lawyers, doctors, pickpockets, cowboys, college- boys and crooks await the gong. In the words of the Immortal Billy Jordan: "Let er go."

INTO SPIRIT'S TOLD Einstein Also Honored at New York Convention. NO STOCK TIPS ARE GIVEN World Beyond Is Sportless, Says President, and ex-Gamblers Mar Be Lonesome. NEW YORK, June 27. (Special.) Edison and Einstein were claimed as spiritualists by President J. F. Steck enreiter at the 25th annual conven tion of the general assembly of Spir itualists of the state of New York, which met at the Waldorf-Astoria. Mediums from all parts of the state attended and spirits from all parts of the ether were on hand. There was public communication with spirits in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria. It was not a gathering of persons i who tell how to find lost articles or! give tips on the races and stock mar ket, or, teach luckless lovers how to turn defeat Into victory. According to President Steckenreiter, one of the principal activities of true spiritual ists has been that of exposing char latans of this type, but it is one of the imperfections of the criminal law that it confuses the quacks and the true spiritualists, fining or jailing both kinds indifferently when they are convicted of charging fees for their professional operations. 'It Is quite conceivable." Bald President Steckenreiter, "that a de parted Jockey or racetrack tout might transmit tips to his former friends. A man whose soul was en grossed with horseracinsr when he was living might exist for some time in the other state before his baser nature was refined away. There is no horseraclng or similar sports in the other world." Telepathy Held Familiar. Mr. Steckenreiter said that telepa thy, or the transmission of thought through space from one living per son to another, was a familiar phe nomenon to spiritualists. He stated that the transmission took place by means of waves or vibrations. Sir Oliver Lodge's theory that ether was the habitat of departed spirits was not of great interest to spiritualists. "We are too busy keeping our com rades out of jail to go deeply into the scientific side of it," he said. "It does not matter whether they live In ether or another substance of the same name." The president said that the rela tivity theory had not the slightest effect on spirits, but that Einstein had got the theory from spirits. "All other theories that are true and all advances of knowledge come the same way," he said, "from communi cation to us by spirits." President Steckenreiter said that elves, fairies and pixies, which have been seen and photographed, accord ing to A. Conan Doyle, had not mani fested themselves in the United States as yet. "There is no reason why they Should not, however." he said. "If one kind of appearance can be cre ated .there is no reason why crabs, snails or elves could not be brought Into existence In the same way." Mr. Steckenreiter said that there would be. no materializations at the con vention. "Manifestations." 1 he said, "require darkness or semi-darkness." Police Get No Help. The spirits whioh hae communi cated all great scientific discoveries have not so far been able to com municate enlightenment to legisla tors. According to Mr. Steckenreiter the statute books are still disgraced with persecuting laws which have survived from the centuries of witch burning. Guided by the advice of living and dead lawyers, the spirit ualists have overcome the bigoted state of jurisprudence by organizing as a church, and thus obtaining the indorsement of the constitution for acts of religious freedom which, com mitted by laymen, would be criminal. "But our church is the only true one," said Mr. Steckenreiter. "It Is composed of that which Is good In all the others. We have what Is best of Christianity, Christian Science, Buddhism, Confucianism and all other religions." In spite of this, plain-clothes po licemen still molest them. "Men and women detectives come to me," said Mrs. Milton Rathbun, "and say they have lost a dear one and are so anx ious to know where they are and how they are faring. They ask if I can send them to someone who will help them. You don't want any such thing.' T reply. 'What you want is to find a medium and persecute her and arrest her. I won't help you.' " In his address at the opening meeiins at the Waldorf-Astoria President RtV enreiter nnidt "All great minds that briner from ti unVnnwn or immaterial world messaee. that benefits and uplifts mankind are undoubtedly mediums for such spiritual transmission. Take the fase of Edison. His invention of the phonograph has brought to mil iinn on tht earth a spiritual mes- Do in hiinrired!i of thousands of homes there is a better and a finer spirit now because of Edison's repro duction of music and speech. Just think through him you hear the vniu of the dead. Whether Edison agrees or not to the contention, he. is uirrlr o medium. He has been chosen nnnatruct aonaratus that brines the message and thought of the spirit world. Bozarth Family Has Reunion. KKT,SO, Wash.. July 1. (Special.)

STRONG PROTEST IS MADE Female Offspring: or Inferior Sons Declared Due to Develop mental Exercises. LONDON. June IS. (Special.) A campaign in the interest of mother hood and against the ill-effects al leged to result from girls going In for athletics has been started here. A resolution was adopted at a meeting of managers of girls' schools and of women who claimed to have made a study of physical culture pro testing against the present system of physical education for girls as injuri ous to future generations. A small committee was formed to draw up and circulate a manifesto on the sub ject. Several letters favoring the move ment were read. Sir James Crlch-ton-Browne. author of books on men tal and nervous diseases, wrote: "Physical exercise and training are as necessary to girls as to boys, but these must have regard to physiologi cal and developmental considerations. To ignore sexual differences Is to court disaster in the long run." "Women who develop masculine In stead of feminine instincts," wrote Dr. Arabella Kenealy, "do this at the cost of the male potential which is transmitted by the father to the daughter in trust for the male line. Athletic women produce female off spring mainly and seldom have sons. When sons are born to them, they are apt to be puny and delicate, or generally emasculate or of inferior type. The cultured classes, who are mainly afflicted by athletic training, are failing to provide sons of the fine physique and ths manly talents and initiative which have set our Anglo Saxon race In the van of evolution." Miss Cowdray. principal cf a girls' high school, who moved the resolu tion of protest, said that a girl had a large store of vital and nervous en ergy which she could draw upon if r.ormally developed at the great crisis of motherhood. That strength was a deposit account but if she used it as a current account, as a boy could af ford to do, her children would pay the bill. She believed that the Vic torian girl was a better mother than the modern athletic girl. Miss Radmar. director of the d'Eg ville Mlchau School of Physical De velopment, said that the feet were the. only part of a girl's body that need be made strong. A woman's body should be elastic and strong chests and big muscles meant inelas tic chests and bodies. Drill apparatus should be done away with.

The state controller's office has appraised the estate of Andrew Carnegie at $25,933, 014 gross and $22,131,011 net. The principal items are securities valued at $17.63,538. Louise Whitfield Carnegie, the widow, was chief beneficiarv, receiv ing a total of $11,338,847. The Car negie corporation of New York was bequeathed $10,663,580. The will, which was made publjo in August, 1919, stated that Mr. Car negie had made ample provisions In his lifetime for his daughter, Mar garet Carnegie Miller, and provided that If she outlived her mother she would receive the principal of a trust fund of 14. 643.750. This trust fund, the appraisal re vealed, was formed by the Iron mas ter with provisions that the Income should be paid to himself for life, at his death to Mrs. Carnegie and when she died their daughter should re ceive the principal absolutely. The trust was so arranged that the prin cipal could not be taken either by Mr. Carnegie or his wife while they lived, being described by the apprais ers as an anchor to windward. The appraisal enumerated in detail the numerous gifts and benefactions stipulated in the will, which were made public almost two years ago. An affidavit by Elihu Root Jr., one of the attorneys for the executor, the Home Trust company, which was filed with the appraisal, stated that Mr. Carnegie had given away $360,000,000 during the latter part of his life, and had the estate remained Intact it would have have been the largest yet administered.
