RENEWED HOSTILITY FEAR European Diplomats So; United States Will Be Intervening in Old World Politics by Dan- ' !els Proposed Deal. WASHINGTON'. June 14 Special.) The United States is in danger of be coming involved In a serious contro versy with Turkey as a result of the proposal of Secretary Daniels to sell the two battleships Idaho and Missis sippi to Greece. The Turkish Ambassador. In accord ance with the instructions of his gov ernment, has addressed Inquiries on the subject to Secretary Bryan, and has made it clear that the.se vessels will be used against his country if transferred to the Grecian flag. Naturally this would be resented by the Turkish peo ple. Inquiries also have been, made by certain European nations which believe that if the GreeK navy should not be in creased peace would be preserved. Diplomats Openly Resent Flan. European diplomats make no secret of the view they entertain that the United States by aiding Greece so ma terially, will be intervening in the poli tics of the old world. In view of this fact they feel their governments would be justified in interfering In American questions. In other words, they feel that the proposal of the American Sec retarv of the Navy 13 a two-edged sword, and that if it cuts one way it should cut another. It is known here that Greece will not initiate war against Turkey until she obtains possession of two American battleships. The moment the Grecian flag is hoisted over these craft that moment she will take hostile measures against her historic antagonist. Pretty Game Is Played. . In view of the strength of the Idaho Siid Mississippi, naval officers are em phatically opposed to selling; them, claiming the effectiveness of the fleet will be impaired thereby. It is known that Admiral Dowey is earnestly against the policy, and has advocated that the vessels be retained. He realizes the outcome of the Mexican adventure can not be foreseen, and he does not be lieve in parting with any vessels of value which might be needed in the near future. In connection with the sale of the Idaho and the Mississippi a great game is on in Washington which is of keen interest to the country and the world at large. Greece is not officially figuring in the transaction. Her interests are be ins looked out, for by the Bethlehem Steel Company and the Newport News Shipbuilding Company. The former ex pects to profit from the transaction by supplying guns 'and other material, in cluding ammunition to the ships when they- pass into Greek possession, and the profit of the latter will come out of the construction of the new dread nought. Labor Forces Disgruntled. Congress has authorized only two ad ditional dreadnoughts, one of which it has prescribed shall be built at a Gov ernment yard, and New York has been selected as the yard to do the work. There remains one battleship to be di vided among the three private ship building firms unless the sale of the Idaho and Mississippi should be ef fected. The labor force at Newport News and Norfolk is disgruntled with the Secre tary of the Navy because of his action in taking from them the construction of smaller ships, and will be placated only if permitted to build a modern bat tleship. So the Bethlehem Steel Company and the Newport News Shipbuilding Com pany -are working industriously to in duce the House of Representatives to authorize the President in his discre tion to sell the Idaho and the Missis sippi. There is little doubt that the House will authorize the sale of the ships, but a sharp argument will take place over the question of what to do with the money. LASSEN BECOMES VIOLENT (Continued from First Page). ' reduced, it is said, by the geat en largement of the crater. The entire now-capped peak has been blanketed with a pitch black covering of ashes.

Krakatoa. RED BLUFF, Cal., June 14. Lassen Peak has again become an active vol cano, according to V. H. Storms, for mer state mineralogist, who arrived today to Investigate its eruptions. "It is a mistake to put the present disturbance in the class of geysers. It is certainly a volcanic eruption," said Storms. x "Geysers do not eject rocks, scoria, cinders and ashes. These are the char acteristics of genuine volcanoes. The volcano is in active and violent erup tion, and wvhat may happen before It becomes quiet no one can tell, but in dications are that it will imitate the performance of Krakatoa, volcano in the Island of Java. "In 1883 a series of minor disturb ances similar to Lassen's activity cul minated - in a tremendous explosion, which destroyed the mountain and spread a pall of darkness over thou sands of miles. Some of Its volcanic dust fell in the streets of London." Flames Seen SO Mllea Away. OROVILLE, Cal., June 14. Although Oroville is more than 90 miles from Mount Lassen, flames were plainly seen rising from the craters tonight. There were two distinct illuminations, one of especial brightness.

HOP RANCH IS RAVAGED MASKED MEN BURN HAT BARN AND SET FIRB TO KILNS. Wheatland Farm, Scene of Fatal Riot Ins; Last Augusta Again Menaced Following;, I. W. W. Threats. WHEATLAND, Cal., June 14. Fol lowing, it is alleged, threats on the part of members of Industrial Work ers of the World to destroy the Durst hop ranch here, which was the scene of fatal rioting last " August, ' two masked men crept into the ranch at midnight last night, set Are to and totally destroyed a large hay barn and were about to ignite several hop kilns when discovered by Detective J. A. Ryan. After a desperate fight Ryan was struck down and beaten and kicked. He fired three shots at his assailants as they lied and then fell unconscious. Several other watchmen on the ranch fired at the men as they fled. It is asserted that threats have been made that the Durst brothers would not harvest this year's crop. Not long ago a hoj kiln was burned down ana watchmen stationed on the ranch have had numerous clashes and revolver duels with prowlers. Ryan Is still unconscious and his condition is serious. An investigation of the scene reveals the fact that the kiln and a large dr shed adjoining had been saturated with kerosene. HINDUS IN DIRE WANT RARE WOLF FISH CAUGHT BY MEN OX KOMAGATA MAHU DEVOURED. Appeals to Countrymen In Vancouver for Assistance do Unheeded and Deportation la Probable. VANCOUVER, B. C. June 14. Star vation stares the Hindus on the Koma- gata Alaru in the face, and only liberal subscriptions from their fellow coun trymen In this city, or an order to re turn to their country will be their sal vation. As a last resource they are fishing day and night to replenish theirlarder. Today one of them landed a monster that is rarely ever seen here, known as a wolf nsh, about five feet long. The fish, which resembles what Is known as a sea serpent, was cut np and de voured immediately. Even the smallest fish are saved for the cooking pot. Appeals are being made to local Hin dus to come to the rescue with funds or food supplies, but the response is not generous, the local men fearing that any such action on their part might lead ' to - undesirable inquiries. Provided the charter money is not paid within a few days the order will be given for the Komagata Maru to return to Japan.

"SPRINGFIELD" GAS RAG STILL MISSING No Hint Nor Clue Is Found of Pilot Donaldson or Aide Wilbur. Henderson. RANGERS COMB ' FORESTS Anxiety Regarding Lost Balloon and Occupants Takes Graver Shape in the Minds of Friends and Relatives In Portland. FOURTH REPORT 18 RECEIVED OF SPRINGFIELD. Lata last night Information was received from a forest -ranxer named Hanson, at Little Sandy, to the ef fect that C. M. Belfleld, a mall carrier and stag driver In the Sandy and Bull Run country, reported that he saw a balloon In the air between Sandy and Marmot, a settlement east of Sandy, early Friday morn ing. Thla is the fourth report from this ' section forming a chain of circum stances Indicating that the balloon "Springfield'" pasaed In a northeast erly direction near Sandy and into the Bull Run country Friday morn ing. The balloon "Springfield." with Cap' tain Roy Donaldson and Aide Wilbur Henderson, is still missing. Although everything possible has been done to find some trace of the big bag and the two men -who left Port land Thursday afternoon In a long distance race, the disappearance is com plete. .-. Reporters for. The Oregonlan practi cally spent all dav yesterday telephon ing to the forestry stations in the Cas cade Mountains and towns, settlements and ranches lo the expansive stretch of wild and rugged country from the Santiam River, in Linn County, north ward to the Columbia River. Govern ment forest rangers traversed the net work of trails In the forests of the Cas cades; searching parties combed the wilderness of the Elk Horn and Santiam country, and searchers and Government rangers scoured the Bull Run country In every possible manner, but not the slightest trace. eign or clew as to the whereabouts or the fate of the pilot and his aide was found. At least, no word reached the anxious Portland friends and rela tives of the lost man. Three Nights Have Elapsed. The fact that it has been three days and three nights since the balloon dis appeared has cast a grave aspect on the situation. Much anxiety is ex pressed by the friends of the missing men and those who are trying to un ravel the mystery. It is considered absolutely certain that the balloon has aligthed. When or where is purely speculative. There are many, theories by those working In the search which might place the men anywhere from the Columbia River to the Santiam. either west or east of the Cascades. These theories are based on weather conditions, the fate of the balloon "Kansas City 111," which alighted at Cascadia, in South ern Linn County, and on reports of farmers and fishermen to the effect that a balloon was seen in the Bull Run' country early Friday morning. Much weight is now being given to the Bull Run reports, and forest rang ers and others are exerting every effort to comb the forests and mountains in that direction. The Bull Run theory is based upon three distinct reports from farmers in different localities, which' form a chain of circumstances that seem dependable and authentic. Farmer Telia Straight Story. jCt 2:30 o'clock Friday morning Lou Ayres, a farmer near Liberal, Clacka mas County, reported that a balloon passed over his place, going in a north easterly direction. Mr. Ayres has been interviewed in person by The Oregon ion and tells a very straight story. The balloon, when last seen at 9:30 o'clock Thursday night, was northeast of Sa lem." It easily could nave passed over Liberal at 2:30 o'clock Friday morning. At about 4:15 o'clock Friday morning T. Ruther, who lives near Sandy, re ports that he and his wife saw a bal loon over the Sandy Rtver. between Bull Run and Sandy. This locality is directly northeast of Liberal. Mr. Ruther has been talked to twice and declares posi tively that he and his wife saw the big bag. He is not aure of the direction in which the balloon was sailing. At about 6 o'clock Friday morning Charles Howe, who lives at 699 East Seventy-sixth street, North, Portland, reports that he was fishing at Bull Run reservoir, near the end of the Bull Run carline, when a balloon was seen through the haze a considerable dis tance above him. He says he could not make out the direction the bag was moving and only saw It for a short time, when It disappeared In the haze. Added to these is the report received late last night that C M. Belfleld. a mailcarrier,' saw a balloon between Sandy and Marmot early Friday morn ing. Four Reports Make a Chain. These four reports, coming from dif ferent persons and asserted by all to be the truth, form a very interesting chain of circumstances which would indicate that the gas bag moved into the Bull Run country. That nothing has been seen of them since then indi cates that they must have come down somewhere in that locality. They may have crossed the Cascade range or drifted north Into Washington. It Is said it would have been Impos sible for them, to have stayed in the air all day Friday without soma one having seen them. Inasmuch as there are men in the Bull Run country all the time. North or east of there are settlements and towns, some of which certainly would have sighted the big bag. On the strength of these circum stances, every effort has been made-to get Information from this section. The Oregonlan succeeded yesterday, by long-distance telephone and the tele phone lines of forest rangers in that country, in getting into communication April Death Claims Original insurance 7 '. $296,101.00 Claims paid 298,827.00 Premiums paid in cash 154,949.64 Return over cost 143,877.36 New England Mutual Life Insurance Co.

PAINS AROUND THE HEART When the action of the stomach Is weakened by debility or defective nerve force the food is retained until It fer ments. Gas forms and presses on the other organs, particularly the heart, the pains in that region often causing a fear of heart trouble. Organic heart disease rarely causes pain around the heart and when this symptom Is noted you should try toning up your digestion before giving way to nee-"-' alarm. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a tonic that directly affects the organs of digestion. They supply to the stomach the rich, red blood without which nor mal digestion is impossible. They awaken into activity the gastric glands and strengthen the muscles of the stomach and give the nerve force necessary to proper digesllon and assimilation. With thin mood and weak nerves it is impossible to avoid stomach trouble. Build up the blood and strengthen the nerves and note the increased appetite, the comfortable feeling after eating and the lmprc 3 ment in healtnand vigor. Two books "Building Up the Blood" and "What to Eat and How to Eat" will be sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec tady. N. Y. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are for sale In every drug store. Adv. with many points, but no information concerning the lost men was found. Search Made Through Little Sandy. Communication was had with Little Sandy, through the regular Sandy sta tion. From here inquiries were made to Zig Zag, Government Camp, Lost Lake and the forest service line run ning south along the Cascade summit toward Mount Jefferson. Inquiries were made also at other forest stations, in cluding Salmon Hatchery and Bagsby Springs. Efforts were made to get word from H. N. Wallace, a forest ranger who left Friday afternoon for Mount Susap, In the Cascades, where he expected . to spend Friday night surveying the vast e: panse of the Cascade forest country which can be seen from there. No word could be secured from him, however, and it Is not known here what success he had. He went into the heart of one of the sections where theory has lo cated the men. If Uiey had lighted a tire in this part of the country it Is be lieved tby would have been seen by Mr. Wallace. Local Searchers Are at Work. . South of the Bull Run and Colton districts, where all these efforts were put forth, many people were busy with the search. In the Santiam River and the Elkhorn country searchers did everything possible to comb the forests and rugged canyons. Malcolm McCalman, construction, su perintendent of the H. . M. Byllesby & Co.' hydro-electrio v project along the north fork of the Santiam River, with camps between Niagara and Mill City, was at Lebanon yesterday morning. He reported having looked for the missing men in the Elkhorn country, but found no trace. He left Lebanon yesterday afternoon for his camps aud will send five men today to cover the entire district on the north fork of the Santiam, from Mill City to Niagara. J. L. White, of the Oregon Power Company, reached Lebanon yesterday from the country In. which the Watts and Fawcett balloon alighted Friday morning and reported that he has men scouring the woods. He has been over every foot of the country and declares that- if the balloon party got into the headwaters of the Santiam it may take them days to get out. Forest Expert Apprehenaivc. Forest Examiner Osborne, of the Portland office, reported yesterday that he Is thoroughly familiar with tne Oregon forest country, and for that rea son has much anxiety for-, the safety of the men if they have come down in that vicinity. He says the head waters of tne Santiam. the .McKenzle and the. Clackamas rivers, which take in much of the country in which the men may be, is exceedingly lough, as is also the Bull Run country. lie says the forests have trails, but they some times are hard to find. A man. he bays, might wander for a day or more with out striking a trail. The traveling Is hard, especially for a person net fa miliar thoroughly with the mountains. If the two men are still alive and have not reached a camp or ranch, it is said they are practically out of food, unless they have been very careful with what they took with them. The food they had would last, it Is said, for four or five days. They have been out now three days. It might be pos sible that their food has been used up. Organisation Search Planned. If no word is heard when all the telephone exchanges open this morn ing, C. C. Colt, president of the Rose Festival Association, says steps will be taken to go about thT search in an organized way. No concerted plan ot this kind has been attempted as yet, because it has not been known how to go about it. It is the plan now to get squads of men to go into tne various sections and search for the balloon and the two men. Mr. Colt said last night that there are hundreds of men who already have of fered their services in searching parties. It was reported yesterday that an attempt will be, made to rescue the balloons of Captain Watts and his aide, Fawcett. in the wilds near Cascadia. Seven men with two pack horses left for the district yesterday. Others will Join in the work today. It Is the plan to carry the big bag In three pieces to Cascadia, whefte it can be taken by wagon to a railroad station.
