COST OF FLAX WORK
: WORRIES GOVERNOR
Executive Favors Stopping of
Superintendent's Salary,
for Time at Least.
CROP'S HANDLING SCORED
inspection by Governor and Treas
rer Kay Causes Former to Say
8 5 Tons Spoiled, While Latter
Is Xot Inclined to Agree.
UALEM. Or., Dec. 2. (Special.)
Governor Withycombe's expressed wish
today that the salary of Robert Craw
ford, state flax superintendent, be dis
continued until next Spring: at least,
because the Governor declares there
will be nothing for the superintendent
to do until that time, failed to find an
affirmative response from State Treas
urer Kay today. This was after the
Governor and State Treasurer, wearing-
slickers and high-topped boots, had
splashed around through a driving
rain investigating- conditions in the
etate's flax fields.
The Inspection followed another pri
vate inspection by the Governor, who
asserted that there were 35 tons of flax
In the fields rotting and In bad shape.
The State Treasurer said, following
the second investigation, that, in his
opinion, the flax was wet, and some of
It inclined to mold, but he asserted
none of It was badly damaged yet.
Kay Pleads for Chance for Crawford.
"I not only have no wish to take
action against Mr. Crawford while Mr.
Glcott is away," he said, "but I believe
he should be given a chance to demon
strate what he can do, and that so far
he has not been given the chance."
Governor Withycombe said he was
not desirous of discharging Crawford
as flax superintendent, but merely
"laying him off" until Spring. "What
little is left to be done to the flax can
1)9 done without the management or
services of an expert," said the Gover
nor. "The flax idea was started for two
purposes," he continued. "One, to cre
ate a new industry In the state, and the
other to give the convicts employment.
The bane of life at the prison is non
employment and idle men, and we have
a long Winter staring us in the face,
wlt;i nothing for the men to do, and it
has been brought on by misunderstand
ing and mismanagement.
T wish to go on record On this flax
proposition right now. We are enter
ing our second Winter and we have'
been unfortunate In retting both Win
ters, and I am thoroughly convinced
that we must grow a crop, harvest it,
thresh It and stack It In sheds to be
retted during the following Summer
for the following Winter's use. We
must carry one year's crop over for
the next year's use. I am satisfied
flax culture may be made a great in
dustry in Oregon, but we have been
exceedingly unfortunate in our work so
far." a
Little Work jbeft Is Claim.
The Governor said that, all that Is
lft to do with this year's crop in to
fan the seed and stack the straw, which
will require no expert supervision.
There is not sufficient flax retted to
do scutching work by the convicts
during the Winter, he said, and hence
the idleness that is feared by the ex
ecutive. He said that $10,000 worth of seed
nnd 700 tons of straw are on hand and
that it is very probable the industry
may show a profit when all Is prepared
and disposed of.
Mr. Crawford's agreement with the
Board provided that he should receive
$200 monthly salary and a bonus of
$50 a month if he showed a. commen
Furate profit by his work. The Gover
nor declared tonight that it is yet too
early to ascertain whether he has made
a profit or not.
Following this afternoon's visit
there seemed to be a difference of opin
ion as to the condition of the S5 tons
of flax, Mr. Kay believing it may be
saved, while the Governor Is satisfied
that It practically has been ruined by
exposure to heavy rains.
"But the 85 tons of flax are not so
much In themselves," said the execu
tive. "It is the apparent appearance of
mismanagement in handling the indus
try at the prison to which I object."
Executive Is Alarmed.
This afternoon's visit of the Governor
and State Treasurer to the flax fields
followed revelations made by the Gov
ernor at a mbrning session of the
Board of Control, attended by himself
and Treasurer Kay.
The executive had made a personal
Inspection of the flax fields and de
clared that he had discovered 35 tons
of flax rotting and in a deplorable con
dition upon the ground.
He insisted strongly that the state
should save the $200 a month being
paid to Mr. Crawford as superintend
ent of the flax industry, this saving
to be made until next Spring at least,
the Governor believing there is no ne
cessity for a superintendent at this
time, and that the expenditure of the
money In question Is In the nature of
a, waste.
Action Is Deferred.
The absence of Secretary Olcott from
the city had some bearing on the dis
cussion at the morning meeting. Craw
ford was named as superintendent at
the instance of Treasurer Kay and Sec
retary Olcott and over the protest of
Governor Withycombe, who favored the
retention of ex-Superintendent Cady.
As a result there was an obvious ten
dency both on the part of the Governor
and of the Treasurer not to discuss too
much the actual discharge of Crawford
while Secretary Olcott Is absent. But
the Governor, at the meeting and after
ward, expressed his strong belief that
even without the discharge of Crawford
his salary should be discontinued un
til next Spring at least, and it was
upon this point that he placed especial
emphasis.
BOYCOTT ON EGGS BEGUN
(Continued From First Pase.)
They a re seeking to protect themselves
against this situation by getting all
that they can for their products now."
He advocated an embargo on food,
but did not favor the boycott. He de
clared that It should not be necessary
for the American people to itarve
themselves so that they can get the
food that they need at reasonable
prices.
Mr. Duncan Launched Off Stage.
Sanfield Macdonald's proposal for a
food embargo met with ipstant and
almost universal approval. Ha also
strongly advocated public ownership
of cold-storage warehouses.
R. G. Duncan got up to- protest
against both the embargo and the boy
cott. He got respectful attention, hut
his argument lost force when he ex
plained that he had been la the gro
cery business nearly all his life. He
was good-naturedly laughed off the
platform. He is secretary of the Retail
Grocers' Association.
Albert Streiff, a Socialist lawyer, was
emphatic in his plea for the embargo
resolution.
"Why should we starve ourselves to
feed those crazy savages over there In
Europe?" he argued.
People Declared Starving;.
He asserted that children actually are
starving to death because their parents
can't pay the present prices for food.
"Where?" Interrupted a woman.
"Right here in the United States." he
answered. "Yes. Morgan and company
want us to starve ourselves so that
they can sell more food to Europe and
make more profits for themselves."
He declared that the farmers are not
profiting from the excessive prices. The
speculators, he said, are making the
money.
S. P. Gill and A. Benschiedt gave the
weight of their oratory, too, to the em
bargo plan.
While the meeting ostensibly, was
one of Housewives and consumers, the
men monopolized the platform.
It was with some measure of relief,
then, that the audience greeted Mrs. J.
D. Spencer. She was the first woman
speaker.
Conserve Fats Is Advice.
Mrs. Spencer urged economy in the
kitchen. She advised the women to con
serve all kinds of fats a commodity
that is absolutely essential to health
ful living. The price of lard, butter
fat and all other fats is advancing
steadily, she explained, and only the
most rigid economy can meet the situ
ation. She also urged a more general use
of the cheaper articles of food, such as
rice, fish and macaroni.
Miss Nellie Rene, of 685 East Sixty
fourth street North, read extracts from
newspapers to show the excessive
profits that are being made by the meat
packers and urged a boycott against
some of them.
Mrs. Edna Turnbull asserted that the
high cost was due, partly, at least, to
inadequate car service. She explained
that some of the commonest food com
modities, such as fruit, butter and eggs,
can be produced at Roseburg and other
Oregon towns for nearly half the st
in Portland.
Paul Turner spoke, In support of the
embargo.
This resolution and its amendment
then were quickly passed.
The other measures, providing for In
vestigation of the market and of the
warehouses and cold-storage plants,
were brought up. A committee of three
Is to be named on each class of Insti
tution. The chairman said he would
name women representing the Woman's
Club, the Oregon Congress of Mothers
and the Parent-Teacher Associations.
Mrs. Eleanor V. Baldwin suggested
that the women of the labor unions be
given like representation. The meet
ing supported her view.
It was not until the meeting was
nearly ready to adjourn that the egg
boycott was suggested, although it had
been informally proposed by several
speakers. Major C. S. Noble made the
motion. It was carried in short order.
Joseph F. Singer acted as aergeant-at-arms.
BOYCOTT LOWERS BUTTER COST
Salt Luke Housewives Force Price
Down Two Cents.
SALT LAKE CITT, Utah, Dec. 2.
Housewives of Salt Lake City made
their boycott on butter so effective
that it was one of the chief reasons for
a drop In price today.
Commission men, in announcing the
reduction In the wholesale price of
butter from 41 cents a pound to 39
cents, said people would not buy but
ter at the high prices.
The result, they said, was the auction
of a large stock of butter and the at
tendant reduction in price.
Butter and Eggs Boycotted.
LOUISVILLE Ky., Dec. 2. An abso
lute boycott on the use of butter and
eggs for a period of two weeks, effect
ive immediately, was decided upon here
late today at a conference of repre
sentatives of more than 40 Louisville
organizations. The conference was
called by the Louisville Women's Suf
frage Association.
SO-Day Egg Boycott Declared.
TOLEDO, O., Dec. 2. Two hundred
Toledo housewives, members of the
Housewives' League, began a boycott
on butter and eggs today. All members
are pledged to refrain from the use of
the two articles for 30 days and longer
if deemed necessary to force down the
price. The housewives also began to
bake their own bread.
AMERICAN DIES IN FRANCE
Son. of President of Yankton College
Passes Away.
YANKTON, S. D., Dee; 2. President
H. K. Warren, of Yankton College here,
has been notified of the death of his
son, Robert Warren, in a hospital at
Bordeaux, France. Warren, who was
connected with the American Red
Cross Relief Corps, was a Rhodes
scholar and at the outbreak of the Eu
ropean war Joined the relief corps for
service in Belgium.
Warren's health broke down and he
was taken to a hospital at Bordeaux,
under the care of the American Consul,
where he died.
At one time, Warren was arrested,
thrown into a German prison and con
demned to death as a spy. On estao
listiing his nationality, he was released.
half of 1 per cent of all the people
in this country own 75 per cent of all
the wealth and insisted that high prices
will continue so long as this abnormal
condition is permitted to prevail.
"I am glad to see that the women are
here and getting ready to fight this
thing." he continued.
Prprrwian Expected After War.
"But I tell you. that you'll never set
tle this high cost of living until you
abolish the private ownership of land,
factories, mines and all other utilities
that produce the things that people
eat and wear and that furnish them
shelter."
He predicted that following the Eu
ropean war this country will experi
ence a severe social and industrial de
pression. "Why?" a voice in the audience
asked him.
"Because millions of men now en
gaged in manufacturing war munitions
will be thrown out of work.
"And. the factory owners' know It.

QUERETARO,, Mexico, Dec. 2. Gen
eral Francisco Murguia reported to
General Carranza today ttiat he had
routed a band of Villa followers, num
bering 2500 men. and had pursued them
12 miles toward Chihuahua, City. The
General reported that he was continu
ing his advance toward Chihuahua City
today.
EL PASO, Tex., Dec. 2. A message
received from General Obregon at Mex
ico City late today gave details of a
battle between General Murguia'a
forces and t'ae Villa troops, about 80
miles south of Chihuahua City. The
battle took place yesterday, starting
at 10 o'clock In the morning and lasting
six hours. The Villa men, Jhe message
said, were defeated.
Many Prisoners Executed.
The message said tne bandit force
fled in disorder, some toward Santa
Ysabel, and others toward Chihuahua
City. The Carranza troops pursued
them four hours, the message said, cap
turing three machine guns, many rifles
and some homes.
Many prisoners were taken, the mes
sage said, adding that they were ex
ecuted. The dispatch said Villa's losses
were heavy.
Colonel Candelarlo Garcia and sev
eral other officers were wounded, the
message said. The dispatch declared
Villa had 3500 men.
General Obregon's message, which
was received by way of Eagle Pass,
Tex., contained this account of the
fight from.General Murguia. sent from
the latter's camp today:
' "My advance guards came into con
tact with those of the bandit Villa at
10 o'clock today and after a fight of
six hours' duration the enemy, com
pletely disorganized, fled in disorder,
a part heading for Santa Ysabel and
others for Chihuahua.
Bandits Pdrsned 12 Miles.
"Our pursuit was followed for 12
miles over the mountains. We cap
tured three machine guns and a large
quantity -of armament and many sad
dled cavalry horses, besides a large
number of prisoners, who were
executed on the spot.
"The losses of the enemy were heavy,
but no account could be made of them,
as we have left the field. I regret to
state that Colonel Candelarlo Garza was
killed In action and other officers were
wounded. The names and details I
shall send later, together with the
losses in the ranks.
"The action was entirely over by 4
o'clock in the afternoon.

prisoners, 2600 men who left Chihua
hua yesterday with the purpose of in
tercepting our advance.
Advance Is Continued.
"After reorganizing my forces, I am
continuing- my advance to Chihuahua,
expecting to arrive at an early hour
tomorrow. MURGUIA."
JUAREZ, Mexico, Dec. 2. With Gen
eral Murgulas newly arrived column
attacking from the south, a new battle
is developing at Chihuahua City, Gen
eral Gonzales announced at headquar
ters here at noon today.
Evacuation Is Expected.
General Osuna Is at Cuilly, a few
miles north of the city, he added, to
cut off any Villa movements in that
section. j.This led him to believe, the
General explained, that Villa might
evacuate to the west over the Mexican
Northwestern Railway, following the
loot he Is reported to have sent out by
train the past few days.
Official reports were givtn out last
night to the effect that Villa was load
ing trains with loot at the Mexico
Northwestern Railroad station, pre
paratory to sending this stolen prop
erty to the mountains of Western
Chihuahua.
Villa was expected to fol'ow these
trains with his troops. Carranza offi
cials here said. The bandit com
mander was not expected to hold Chi
huahua City when he captured It, it
was said here. A report that Villa and
his command would move to OJinaga,
opposite Presidio, Tex., was received
at military headquarters hero today
from unofficial sources.
Armies Thought I'nlted.
General Trevlno was, at last reports.
moving southward to effect a Junction
with General Murguia, which is as
sumed by the Carranza officers to
have been accomplished.
General Ozuna was believed to be
in Nombre de Dios and other northern
suburbs of Chihuahua City at noon to
day. He left Sauz at daybreak today
according to military authorities here.
He was acting upon orders to attack
the capital from the north, while Gen
eral Murguia attacked from the south
and southeast, supported by General
Trevino's command, it Was said.
General Marrero, a Trevlno com
mander, was reported to be near
OJinaga, opposite Presidio, Tex., Jate
today with a column of 400 men, ac
cording to a message received at mili
tary headquarters here.
It was believed here he became sepa
rated from General Trevino's main com
mand after the evacuation of Chihua
hua City, and, having been unable to
effect a Junction with Trevino'B column
he had started for the border at
OJinaga. -
VILLA MAY CHAXGE OUTLOOK
Renewed Strength -May Prove Em
barrassing, Says Washington.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2. While they
wait for General Carranza to accept or
reject the protocol signed by the Joint
commission at Atlantic City, Adminis
tration officials are giving muc'.i at
tention to every report relating to the
activities of Villa and to rebel move
ments In other parts of Mexico.
Additional Information reaching the
State and War Departments today tend
ed to confirm the etory of Villa's cap
ture of Chihuahua City, as related by
refugees at the border, but none of the
dispatches indicated that tlie bandit
leader was moving nortnward to attack
Juarez.
Officials are frank In their admis
sion that the rewened strength of Villa
may prove an embarrassing factor, in
view of the probable resumption of
conferences by the Joint commission
that draftej the protocol providing for
conditional withdrawal of General Per
shing's troops. It is realized that a
successful attack by Villa on General
Murguia. now advancing f com the
south, might leal to uncontested ViUa
control of the city of Chihuahua and
other towns of the state.
All reports received here, however,
indicate that General Murguia will
make every effort to recapture Chi
huahua, and the opinion of army r i
is that he should have little difficulty
in doing- so. It Is assumed that Villa's
supply of ammunition must have been
materially reduced by his five days of
fighting against General Trevlno, and
it Is regarded as logical and in line
with Villa's tactics that he will evacu
ate Chihuahua after having removed
into the hills such supplies as he can
secure. The department reports ind.
cate that a considerable portion of
Trevino's force Joined Villa after the
Chihuahua battle.
Between Mexico City and Vera Cruz.
official dispatches say, only Interrupt
ed railroad traffics exists. The Mexican
railway has been repeatedly cut In the
last two weeks.
The Increased operations of the dif
ferent rebel bands has been made the
basis of efforts on the part of the Mexi
cans to have the embargo lifted on
ammunition, and it is regarded as al
most a certainty that a discussion f
that phase of the situation will be tak
en up at the next session of the joint
conference.
The reports received here regarding
the fate of foreigners at Chihuahua are
conflicting.
It was believed tonight that by Mon
day word might be received of the
decision of Carranza regarding the
Atlantic City protocol. Alberto J.
Pani, the Mexican commissioner who
carried the document to Queretaro, was
in Mexico City today, but it is known
that he placed the signed copy in the
hands of General Carranza before
leaving Queretaro.
3 AMERICANS REPORTED SLAIN
Border Military Authorities tTnablc
to Verify Rumors.
EL PASO. Tex., Dec. 2. A rumor
spread through El Paso tonight that
three Americans, Charles Elmendorf,
Henry Harries and George Brittlng
ham, have been killed in Chihuahua by
Villa troops. Its source, however.
proved hard for relatives and friends
to trace.

death of his father, and Frank Elmen
dorf said he had not been able to ob
tain Information as to the fate of his
brother, Charles.
Three Americans were Been at the
Mexican Central station in Chihuahua
City when the last refugee train left
that city for Sauz Monday, United
States military authorities announced
today after interviewing refugees who
were declared to be reliable. One of
these Americans was said to ".lave been
George Brittlngham, who was last seen
on the railroad station platform, but
who did not board the train, the ref
ugees added. This was the last seen
of the American refugees, it was said.
The military authorities also an
nounced that fully 80 Chinese were
killed by the Villa bandits, according
to reliable refugees. .
