13 EOUIPME republican nominee at Chicago June 8. As The Oregonian Is a paper that generally supports the republican ticket, and if you intend to do so this year, don't you think it might bo dif ficult to retract some of the stater ments you have made regarding Sen ator Johnson should he become the nominee? I am just as much for Hiram John son as you are opposed to him, but want to go on. record right, now that should the convention decide on some other candidate for the presidency I will support and work for him. Don't you think that it would be better to sing the praise of your favorite can didate and In that way endeavor to get him nominated rather than bit terly knock an opponent? That is my way of thinking, and It Is the t r t r Blouses $4.39 Blouses of crepe de chine and Geor gette in all the new shades and made in the prettiest fashions. Values up to $7.50.

'ublic Hearing Called on Swan Island Project. APRIL ECONOMY VALUABLE PIECES BOUGHT ALL CITIZENS INVITED TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, APRIL. 11, 1920 NT COM I DEVELOPS EOT PLAN FOR BEN50 SALES t Deals Concluded on Basis of 15 Cents on Doll A r, Approximat ing Pre-War Prices. George B. Thomas, school director, is home from a purchasing trip In the east with the news that six large pieces of new equipment for Benson Polytechnic school are on the way to Portland, while the remaining 90 on his list are at war department head quarters and will be shipped as soon as released. The school's war record and its creat distance from government stor age points enabled the director to ob tain a special dispensation, whereby the needed material, chosen from sur plus equipment, will be sent to Port land on approval and paid for when accepted. Purchases are made under the Cald well act, allowing educational institu tions to have equipment at 15 cents on the dollar, the price being approxi mately that of pre-war times., Thus Mr. Thomas has secured a much-desired 30-inoh geared head lathe for $731. although he says the machine is easily worth $6000. It has never been in use and was crated and stored in a warehouse at Columbus, O. This, ho says, will be the finest as well as the most valuable piece of equipment at the polytechnic school, one which hitherto had not been purchased on account of the great cost. Other Machines Coming-. Among other pieces now on the way west are a 36-Inch radial drill press, a screw machine, a 15-horse-power motor for driving them, an up right vertical mill, a Liberty 12 cyiinder airplane engine and four 20 inch drill presses. Mr. Thomas also secured options on several other air plane engines at $1 a horsepower. Wome of the new equipment is to f:o in shop 5, now being completed for next fall. Mr. Thomas was au thorized by the board, when he left about three weeks ago, to .place orders up to $7000. Me says he lias war department estimates showing that $10,000 or slightly more will cover the entire t6 pieces, if the dis trict desires to buy all of them. Cap tain W. K. Palmer, who has charge of releasing surplus machinery, has promised the school first choice and will telegraph for orders each time a pioce on the Benson list is to be had. "Washington is overrun with, men looking for machinery," the director said yesterday, "and the government would rather sell to business people than to schools, because more money is brought in if the Caldwell bill is not applied. Other schools lacking representatives in "Washington are out of luck. Aid FondK About Gonr. "As to the 'possibility of securing aid from the federal board on voca tional education, this district was so late in getting in that funds have practically been exhausted rh equipping eastern trade institutions. 1 was told that $25,000 had been allotted to Benson, but if the board started to purchase equipment in the open market, as it would have to, this wouldn't get us much of anything. I'd like to see us get more soldiers for rehabilitation, but we can't ex rrct anything from the board unless the Kahn bill passeH. In this case the war department has promised to put Benson on the list for first choice and well get some more equipment free." Mr. Thomas was in "Washington, Pullman, Columbus, Baltimore and Middletown while looking at ma chinery. He says that $10,00d w-ould bring the school approximately $85, 000 worth of equipment. He also brought with . him an outline for a new gas engine and automobile in struction course approved by the gov. ernment, whose adoption be will recommend. OLD-TIME RESIDENT OF STATE DIES. '4 v 4 " r way I am working for Johnson, so hat if Wood. Lowden, Hoover or Poindexter should be the choice 1 would have nothing to retract. I can ee good in all of them and will abide by the convention's choice and by only saying good things about my choice and saying nothing about the other candidates it will give me a chance to come out whore-heartedl or the one who gets the nomination hould they defeat Hiram W. Johnson. JOHN W. MILLER. The correspondent is answered on the editorial page. SPECIAL SCHOOL SLATED Children, Xot Finishing Grammar Work, Get Part-Time Classes. For those boys and girls between the ages of 16 and 18 who have never ' completed grammar school, part time classes will open April 35, when the night school season ends. They will be held in the High School of Com merce, Girls' Polytechnic school and probably Benson Polytechnic. It is understood that there are nearly 200 boys and girls between 15 and 16 years who under the law are required to attend at least five hours each v eek. These schools will be in session two days each week for two and a half hours. Part of the funds for sup port of the work has been provided by the government under the Smith Hughes act and- for this1 reason it comes partially under the supervision of Newton an Dalsem, representa tive of the federal board of vocational education here. Some difficulty is anticipated in obtaining time off for some of the boys and girls to attend classes, as employers object to having the chil dren away part of the afternoons.

Bishop Earl Cranston has agreed, if physically able, to deliver the Sun day evening sermon at Patton Metho dist church, Michigan avenue and Al berta street, where Dr. George H. Bennett is pastor. Bishop Cranston, first resident bishop for his church in the north west, is visiting with his daughter, Mrs. F. M. "Warren, 81 Westover road following extensive travels that have taxed him. He speaks this morning at the First Methodist church. The bishop was resident in Portland from 1896 to 1904 and during the most of that time Dr. Bennett of Patton church was a member of the Oregon conference. - The urgent invitation o the pastor, speaking for his cosgrega tion. together with Bishop Cranston's great personal interest in the welfare of the smaller chuiches, brought his decision to speak at Patton church. The congregation will be advised, that the bishop's sermon is contingen upon the condition of his health. Sleeting to Take Place Thursday In City Council Chambers and Full Discussion Is Desired.' The Swan Island development proj ect having been formally approved by both the Port of Portland and the public dock commissioners, a public hearing on the subject has been called for next Thursday morning at 10 o'clock in the city council chambers. Both proponents and opponents of the plan are urged to attend. Although Mayor Baker feels that the scheme is generally favored, he is anxious that the council be given the benefit of all the arguments which can be offered in its favor. The mayor is likewise "desirous that any possible faults incidental to the proposal be brought to the at tention of the council at this hear ing, so that changes may be made, if deemed wise. The members of the city council hope to be able to adjust any controversy which may arise in connection with the matter, before it is submitted to a vote of the people. . Everybody Aoked to Attend. 'Everyone who is interested in the Swan island project should attend the hearing Thursday," said Mayor Baker yesterday. ."If Interest in the hearing necessitates larger quarters than the council chambers, we will adjourn to the auditorium. "The harbor development plan is designed to insure future prosperity in Portland. Every individual in terested In Portland's Industrial de velopment should be Interested In this plan. If any readjustment is needed the fact should be brought out now and not when it bas been sub mitted for approval by the voters." The principal objection voiced in connection with the report of the committee of 15 is as to giving the state legislature the power of ap pointing members of the Port of Port land. It is argued by some that the governor of the state or the mayor should have this authority. Plan Otherwise Approved. All other phases of the plan, which includes the reclamation of the bot torn lands in the Guild's lake and Moek's bottom districts, the construc tion of a huge mole on the east side of Swan island, with the western half of the island removed and dumped into the low lands, the closing of the present crooked and dangerous east channel and the opening of a straight west channel, together with the pro vision of large freight terminal yards and cheap industrial sites, have been generally approved. The fact that the plan has met with the unanimous approval of the mem bers of the committee of 15, the I'ort of Portland and the dock commis sions, is considered proof that it is correct in principle and that it pro vides an improvement sorely needed for the development of Portland in dustrially and as a great world port.

Leonard, which is In reality a. miniature megaphone, fit ting inside the ear and entirely out of sight, is restoring the hearing of liter ally hundreds of people in New York city. Mr. Leonard invented this re markable drum to relieve himself of deafness and head noises, and it does this so successfully that no one could tell that he is a deaf man. This ear drum is effective when deafness is caused by catarrh or by perforated, partially or wholly destroyed natural drums. A request for information ad dressed to A. O.

Responsibility P.elween Sheriff HurlL-urt, Jailor Kendall, Pair j'n.an McFarlrtnd. After dividing among three defend ants the amount of judgment they be lieved each should pay, the Jury in the suit of Miles Eckerson, 16-year-old youth, against local authorities for S2000 damages for false imprisonment. handed in a sealed verdict at 9 o'clock Friday night and went home. When Circuit Judge Gatens opened the ver dict yesterday t morning, too late" to recall the jury, he found a decision which is not believed to follow the law. Instead of returning a judgment for a lump sum of damages, . the jury agreed that Sheriff Hurlburt should pay $450 damages, though he knew nothing about the case and was sued only as a responsible party: th County Jailer Kendall should pay $50 and Patrolman McFarlane $25. Deputy City Attorney Myers, on be half of the patrolman, and Deputy District Attorneys Bernard and Mow ry, on behalf of the county officers, filed motions immediately asking that the verdict be set aside as illegal. Though saying that he believed, with out looking up the law, that the ver dict could not stand. Judge Gatens set argument for Monday.
