JOHN REED CLOSE FRIEND Russia Thrown Back 150 Years h by Bolshevik Movement, Says Correspondent. Arr.o Dosch-Fleurot, a stormy pet rel of American journalism, usually present of late years wherever there is a revolution or trouble of that character on the face of the globe, is in I'ortland visiting his parents. Col onel and Mrs. Henry E. Dosch. His name is familiar to many residents of this city who did not know him as a boy or when he was a reporter here from the number of times that it has appeared at the head of perti nent stories of conditions in other countries where movements are tak ing place that have their effect on the rest of the world. His dispatches to the New York World, published in The Oregronian also, bear the names of places remote to this country but in which highlly important events are happening. He has pursued strife and trouble throughout the length and breadth of Europe and is possibly better quali fied to discuss conditions abroad than nearly any other American. - Bolshevism Thought , Dead. Close observations in Russia have convinced Mr. Dosch-Kleurot that bol shevism has failed. Spread of the movement ended and collapse of the world plans of the regime in power in Russia came with the recent tour of labor delegations from western and central European countries, he says. "For a. long time countries west of Russia tried to keep their working men from visiting the scene of the supposed miracle-working move ments, but when the workingmen were given the opportunity and saw for themselves what had happened they came back and reported the failure of the movement. -Mr. tosoh-Fleurot judges their comments as likely full flavored !' when they discussed the Lenine plan rot the salvation of the world over their beer and told that it wo3 a washout. This visit and the conse quent realization of the failure of the move to impress the fellow la borers of other countries ended the dream of the Russian scheme for world domination, as they had pre viously been able to hold the other nations helpless by threats of having . their friends oppose the manufacture . of munitions and the sending of ; troops, which, as workmen, they could ;weii ao. . John Reed His Friend. ; Mr. Dosch-Fleuiot speaks also of the connection of John Reed, the "ortland boy who recently died in "Russia, with the bolshevik move- menu Reed was a sincere convert, says the man who was a close per sonal friend and who spent some time 'With him in Russia. , . -"Russia has been thrown back 150 years by the bolshevik 'movement," said Mr. Dosch-Fleurot last night. . "Holshvism failed because it asked Jl too much of humanity. It is a beauti S ful doctrine and above all things it .must be realized that Nicolai Lenine ta a sincere worker in the cause and -has attracted a following of similar souls that included John Reed until 1 the, time of his death. Reed and I ;were rather intimate when I last visited Russia and he actually be--Heved that they had something that ; would make the world better. The 'extreme Marxian programme of Le r nine couldn't be carried out. I saw Reed last in Paris a year and a half and he was a fervid advocate of ..their doctrines. 5' Kiev la Typical City. ' ' '-Kiev, the last Russian city I vis .ited while with the .Poles last spring, '13 typical of the remainder of that icountry, though they have had less to 'contend with in the nature of starva tion and some other of the severe '.jilagues of the present government - than other cities. ', "Government there is in operation after a fashion and the churches are jstiU carrying on, the bolshevists hav ing1 given up the idea of persecuting ,;them. Division of church and state i Jias been made, and far-fetched stor ' ies that are heard of nationalizing women there are all bunk, as mar Tiage ta yet a state affair and peo ple will marry whether under bolshe vik rule or any other. It would be onuch better were their enemies to flight the bolshevists fair. , Huaaia Lacki Brains. "'One of the impressive things about the Russia of today is the lack of brains, the bolshevists having made -the leading men in every line, the i educated classes, their prey, and have ;in many cases nearly exterminated the former leaders of the country, with the result that there is a dearth '-of real thinking leaders. On m v last 'Visit to Kiev I called on families I had Iknown before and in most cases ; found the men gone, victims of firing , tuuaas. niy tne women In these 'families were left. For instance, when the bolshevists first took this city they sacrificed all : the judges, whether they sat in civil 'Or criminal cases, then they went ; after the engineers, all the men who had degrees and practiced their pro. f tession. ana tr they would not em t brace their faith at once, killed them. ; This also took place with many other classes of men. the result being that the real intelligence of Russia is no i more. The old order has passed out, f It is exterminated. Western Knrone Xot Endangered. "Western Europe today, on account of the visits that were made to Rus j sla by the workingmen's delegations t and the reports that they brought ! back with them, is In no danger from J a spread of the Lenine doctrines. The ? workingmen of Europe today are working out their scheme of things along other lines, socialism in some 'cases. In Germany this seems to ( govern; in France and Italy syndi- calism. and the British trades unions seem to favor union syndicalism. f "Every country In Europe today is ', violently and narrowly national. In J none of them is the foreigner liked. This Is a natural result of war. but , lends to promote a certain amount of j ill feeling nevertheless. In spite of all this, most of the countries are working out their salvation and grad- uaily creating order out of chaos, j with the exception of Russia. 1 : Germany Working Dirk. '. "France is getting back to normal ' very rapidly. England is desperately trying to stem the current of strikes, and in spite of them and other labor ' 'troubles is producing steadily. Ger- 'many is working back to her pre-war standards of production. England has adopted Germany to a certain ex - 1, lent, as she realizes that her trade before the war was built mainly in Europe, and that she must regain it. The religious atmosphere 19 becom ing more prominent in Europe. "England could settle the Irish question in five minutes if she want ed to treat the Irish as political equals, which she has never done. The system of constabulary has been in effect for a half century and thr police barracks' dot the land, the Irish regarding the 'members of the force as spies and traitors and their nat ural enemies. Police Conaldered Traitors. It is not necessary to condone mur der but it is at least important to understand that the Irish regard the killing of the police as a perfectly natural means of revenge on traitors or enemies. Every home rule bill that England has proposed for Ire land has been liberally tinged with orange. The Irish do not like the shade. The Intention seems in any event to have Ulster run the show. A perfectly honest and just law would, in my estimation, settle all the dif ferences. Decent treatment is what they ask, and when, as last summer after they had been promised relief, the new bill was another of the same old sort, they resented having Eng land come to them as a supposed friend with hand extended in greet ing and instead of getting the grasp of friendship receive a blow on the jaw. They cannot forget this treat ment and it is not easy for them to keep cool. "The danger of the whole thing to the British empire lies in the effect it has on the other crown colonies.

Survey of Industrial Plants Also Being Made With, View to Forming Connections. Interest In plants manufacturing condensed milk, flour, cereals, print paper and woolen goods located in and about Portland caused P. M. Pin guest and Yu Kan HIng, representa tives or ttongKong firms, doing a large Chinese export and import busi ness, to remain in the city a day longer than originally planned. The party comprising Mr. and Mrs. Pin guest and Yu Kan Hlng will leave tomorrow night for San Francisco nstead of tonight. Products of Oregon especially de sired for Chinese import trade, ac cording to Mr. Pinguest. manager of Lepack company, limited, are con densed milk, flour and cereals, print and wrapping paper and woolen goods to a limited extent. His firm has been dealing in cereal products of the Portland Flouring Mills and woolen goods manufactured - by the Washougal mills. Both of these plants were visited by the party yes terday. The object of the trip is to be come more thoroughly acquainted with the products, which they handle and to form business connections here and at other points where they can buy direct from the producer or man ufacturer the commodities which they import. Yu Kan Hing, managing di rector of the Lepack company, a British concern and manager of Chen Kwong company, operators of large Chinese department stores, delegated ost of the talking to his English companion, but was closely observ ant of all that took place. He speaks English well and dresses Irt the American fashion. All were intensely Interested in the sights in and about Portland, Mr. Pinguest said, and were looking for ward to today's trip over the Colum bia highway. Portland has ' given thm their only real opportunity for sight-seeing, for continued rains in Vancouver, B. C, and Seattle de stroyed all possibilities of pleasure excursions since their arrival. Upon leaving here the party will visit San Francisco, Chicago, Milwaukee, Bos ton and New York before departing for Europe. nice a little nest of active Sinn Fein- ers as any place in Ireland." Mr. Dosch-Fleurot does not expect to do much work while on his visit here, "just to have a good visit with my parents. I have not seen them for several years and I intend to stay here until I get good and ready to leave." AUTOIST AND CAR CRASH OREGON CITY FARMER IS IX CRITICAL COXDITfOX. Motor Car Drops Tire and Strikes Tram Head-On One Occu pant Out of Danger. Frank Whitten, a 2S-year-old farmer who lives near Oregon City, lies in St. Vincent's in a precarious condition from a basal fracture of the skull as the result of a head-on colli sion with his automobile and a Sell wood street car at Milwaukie avenue and Lafayette street, last night. His companion, Jasper Lytes, 50 years old, escaped with a severely cut nose. whitten and his companion were on their way home from Portland. As they approached the intersection a tire flew from the machine, either causing it to swerve or causing the driver to momentarily lose control of the wheel. It dashed from the right hand curb to the left, directly in front of the oncoming street car. In the resulting crash the auto was driven back over its course and onto the sidewalk, being almost a complete wreck. Neither of the men were thrown from the machine, according to Mo torcycle Patrolman Forken, who in vestigated. The rear was loaded with empty boxes, which were being re turned to the farm. The injured men were immediately taken to St. Vm cent's hospital, where at a late hour Whitten was reported to be out of danger. CHECK CASHER ARRESTED (Continued From First Page.) S20.DQ0 BALM ASKED LESLIE L. POTT NAMED IX ALIEXATIOX" SUIT. ' Local Hotel Man Accused of Steal ing Wife of Dairy "Worker, in Statement. Twenty-five thousand dollars' dam ages for alleged alienation oi nm wife's affections is asked by John Hansen, employe of the Fernwood dairy, of Leslie L. Pott, manager of the Ritz hotel.-in a suit filed yester day. At the same time the plaintiff entered divorce proceedings against Anna Gertrude Hansen, his wife. charging infidelity. John Hansen was married March 22, 1909, at Grants Pass and has two children, Bernice, 10, and Frances, 8, who are with their mother. He asks custody of the girls. He states that two years ago his wife began her as sociation with Pott and when he ob jected she ignored his remarks, but permitted the hotel man to visit her home during the day and bring her presents. One time when Hansen came home from work unexpectedly. he says, he found Pott there, holding the youngest Hansen child on his lap. The divorce complaint further says that Mrs. Hansen has held no love for her husband in the past six months and has refused to live with him, Since her association with Pott be gan, it alleges, she has called her husband names and quarreled with him. The suit aganist Pott is a sequel to the granting of a divorce to Mrs. Clara E. Pott, on October 20, when she received a default decree from Presiding Judge Tazwell. Mrs. Pott sued on the grounds that since Feb ruary, 191s, her husband had not lived with her and that he did not properly support herself and small daughter. celebration Tuesday evening by the chamber of commerce. " Two separate numbers appear on the programme for the e enlng. The first will be a dinner-dance .starting at 8 o'clock, and this event will be followed by ah open house, at which free food and entertainment will be provided. As the membership of the chamber of commerce includes men of various political faiths, as well as friends and opponents of practically every meas ure and candidate on the ballot, it is prepared to rejoice at whatever news may be forthcoming Tuesday night. Newspaper reports of election re turns will be given to the chamber of commerce by special wires. DEATH TAKES TREASURER OF S., P. & S. RAILWAY. Elks to Have Charge of Funeral Services . Tomorrow After noon at 2:30 o'clock. Death yesterday claimed Malcolm Willard Barger, treasurer of the Spo kane,. Portland & Seattle railroad, fol lowing an illness that extended over about three weeks. Mr. Barger, who was 46 years old, had been in railroad work since a young man, having been with the Spokane, Portland & Seattle since the road was built Into Portland. For a few years prior to that he had ELECTION FETE PLANNED Commerce Body to Have 'Open House' Tuesday Xight. Results of the election whatever they are will be the occasion for a check in payment, identical with the check previously cashed. Mazuroskl then placed him under arrest and turned him over to City Detectives Abbott and Hyde. At the station Burcher had three checks, made out from H. G. Ans bach to Charles Ansbach, certified under the name of J. T. Burgiess, sup posed cashier of the Continental Na tional bank of Los Angeles. He was relieved of six watches, which would indicate that a corresponding number of Portland jewelers had been vie timized. In addition to the above. detectives obtained cash to the amount of $261. Burcher confessed that he was sole ly implicated in the operations, sign ing the various names to prove that he had not relied upon a confederate. He used a letterhead purporting to be from a Los Angeles auto accesso ries firm, written in German, as a recommendation. He said he had ob tained the blank checks at a Salt Lake ho'tel. that he had never been to Los Angeles, and that he had the Los Angeles firm's letterhead printed in a Portland shop. Burcher admitted that he was not in the army during the recent war, but claimed that he had served three years in the army prior to that time, being discharged in 1912. The authorities, however, are of the opinion that he has been operating in southern California and communi cated all information in the case to the Los Angeles police last night in the hope of obtaining further light. City detectives later visited the room of Burcher, seizing two suit cases and a handbag. Examination revealed a collection of burglar tools, including Jimmies, drills of various sizes, punches, a quantity of black powder, dynamite caps and a rubber stamp outfit which had evidently been used in "certifying" the checks.

"The best thing you can do with anything that is , crooked is to lift it up so that people can see it is crooked." These definitions sound good. Anyway, facts are stubborn things. It i a fact that Col. Disque of Spruce Production extrav agance let huge cost plus contracts to Senator Cham berlain's henchmen and to clients of his law firm. It is a fact that Col. Disque gave $100.00 to an expensive au tomobile for Senator Cham berlain. It is a fact that Franklin T. Griffith, Presi dent of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, gave $100.00 to buy Senator Chamberlain an automobile. If, is a fact that Senator Chamberlain voted for the water power bill which hands over to the traction magnates the water power -of the country for all time. Has Mr. Griffith helped you to buy an automobile? It is a fact that in 1914, over the vigorous protest of Post master Myers, the Postoff ice Department, through John C. Koons, now First Assistant Postmaster-General, entered into a "Political" lease (for temporary quarters while the new Postoffice was being built). This lease -cost the government $23,000 more than it would had Postmaster Myers' advice been followed. The inspectors secured but one bid and the specifications of the lease were not fulfilled by the lessors. It is a fact that one of the lessors who drew down the fat rentals, contributed $100.00 to the luxurious automobile for Senator Chamberlain.
