HARBOR APPEAL TO CONGRESS DECII E All Ports Represented in Re quest, for Aid Trans- . mitted by Wire. RESOLUTIONS NOT BIASED Thousands of Messages to Four in on Eastern Firms Asking Help In Crisis Facing Appropriations. Senators' "Demand" Asked. Resolutions to be sent the Senators and Representative of tbe Pacific Coast states In Congress, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, urging upon them the necessity of securing the passage of the pend ing rivers and harbors bill, were aoopt ed- unanimously last night at a mass meeting held In the Chamber of com inerce rooms, attended by representa tives of Northwest communities that would be affected by the fauure or bill to uass. The officers of the Portland Chamber of Commerce were instructed further to send telegrams to tbe leading com mercial chambers In the United States. particularly In those communities mentioned in tne general Dili, icijucoi ins their co-operation, and to urge upon the business men of Portland to send dispatches to Eastern manufac turing bouses from whom they make purchases, asking, as personal favors, that they communicate with their Rep resentatives in the National Legisla ture, requesting their support of the general bill. Delegate Idea Suggested. The suggestion that J- N. Teal be sent to Washington, D. -C-. to do per sunal work tor the bill on the iioor ot Congress met with favor. Mr. Teal, however, said last night that be would not be able to go. The general resolution was framed by a committee composed of J. N. Teal, of Portland, chairman: Hugh McLain. of ilarshfleld; J. T. Hinkle, of Hermis ton; Wallace Struble. of Astoria, and A- H. Covers, of Portland. Resolutions Are Adopted. Toe text of this resolution follows: "i-tesolved. That the commercial or ganisations representing all interests and evtry part of the Northwest, in convention assembled, urge upon the Senators and Representatives repre senting these states to use every hon orable means to pass tbe pending rivers and harbors bill. "Resolved turther, that the failure to pass this bill at this session of Con gress will be in a very real sense a public calamity and retard tbe develop ment of this entire Pacilic Coast ami Columbia River Basin section, as well as occasion direct loss to the Govern ment by reason of stoppage of work and necessary deterioration of plant and work already done. "Resolved further, that we believe our Representatives are justified and we urg'e them to refuse to adjourn Congress until a vote on the rivers and harbors bill, as a whole, is taken. Contlnaaace Held Vital. . "Resolved further, that by reason of the fact that the Port of Portland. Port of Astoria and the Port ot Coos Bay have this year contributed directly large sums to aid in work now in proijress at tne mouth of the Colum bia and at Coos Bay, we feel good taith on tne part of the general Gov ernment requires it to continue the work which has thus been maintained by money raised by taxation by our local communities. . . "Resolved, That a copy of these res olutions be sent to the Senators and Representatives of all Pacific Coast states and Idaho, Montana and Ne vada." The motion instructing t.ie chamber to dispatch a personal representative to Washington, D. C, to work In the interests of the bill was passed witn only three or four negative votes. On the motion of K. G. Crawford, vice-president of the Lunibermens Na tional Bank, the meeting decided unan imously to send telegrams to the lead ing commercial bodies of the country, partieularly in those sections affected by the bill, urging upon them the need or indorsing the entire appropriation. A Project Especially Urged. Significant of the spirit of the meet ing was the insistence of the Portland representatives, led by Mr. Teal, that no especial stress should be placed on the Importance of early completion of the work at the mouth of tbe Colum bia River. ' "These resolutions should cover the Iwholo Northwest." said Mr. Teal, and he was roundly cheered as he did so. Xast night's meeting was representa tive of virtually every port In Oregon, the whole Columbia River basin from the river's mouth to Lewiston, Idaho, and many inland Oregon towns that would only be -affected indirectly by a shutdown tn ail river and harbor de velopment. The question that the meeting was called to discuss, as out lined by A. H- AvertU, president of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, -who presided, was ways and means of continuing work on the unfinished projects under way all over the Northwest. Cooa Representative Heard. Among the out-of-town representa tives was Hugh McLain, president of the Marshfleld Commercial Club. "There is no pork in the $50,000 ap propriation for the . Coos Bay bar in the rivers and harbors bill," said Mr. McLain, after J. N. Teal had gone ex haustively into the merits of the meas ure, and the disastrous effect that Its defeat would have on the North west. "We have over 800,00 tons of commerce over a bar for which the Government has done nothing for 14 years. "You can't make these resolutions too strong. Coos Bay is with you, heart and souL" Ialaad Delegate Heard. M. J. Duryea, secretary and manager f the publicity department of the Eu gene Commercial Club, said: "We are an inland city and above navigation. We are not directly af fected by any item In the bill, but we are vitally interested in the develop ment of our seaports and the improve ment of our harbors, becaure we are Interested in the growth of Oregon." E. R. - Hill, of Tbe Dalles Business Men's Association, said: "A mere $525,000 will open the Columbia River to navigation to the Snake River and beyond. Of enrse, we of Tbe Dalles, with Celllo right at our doors, are most interested in that. If we don't get this appropriation now to finish tbe canal the sand blows will till up the cuts, tn machinery will de teriorate and it will take another two or three years . to complete tbe pro ject." Kenmeirick Sentiment Applauded. There was applause when M. M. Moulton. of Kennewlck, Wash., like wise pledged the support of that sec tion in the united effort for Congres sional action. Wallace Struble. of Astoria, proposed that tbe Oregon representatives in Congress be asked to prepare an emer gency measure taking care of the proj ects that must be stopped If the rivers and harbors bill is not passed. F. C. Harley, representing the ports of the Columbia, said: "We stand ready to do our part to a unit" J. T. Hinkle, of Hermiston, said: "We are ready to act in any suggestion made tonight" Mr. Teal, in his address, which was the principal one of the evening, de nounced the cry of "pork barrel" in connection with it and asserted that opposition to the measure was nothing less than a filibuster. . x He spoke sharply of the apathy shown by Portland business men and citizens generally. "I lalso cannot express my disappointment at the failure of the City of Portland to realize the impor tance of this work," he said. "A meet ing like this should not be held in a room like this. It ought to .-be that D,iiHtnrliim In Portland would be big enough to hold the people who come.' Mr. Teal showed that of a total ap propriatlon of approximately $53,000, nnft Ai.4rnn'a tthar including the Co lumbia River projects, was 6,42,675. The largest single appropriation in the ... . 1. .

It is said that Japan, In fulfillment of ber alliance with Great Britain, will assist that country. However. If tbe war Is limited to Europe, Japan probably will remain neutral.

S- the famous blood purifier over comes such troubles. Just as soon as S. S. S. enters the blood it rushes throughout the entire circula tion in an average of three minutes. And as the skin is an outlet for the greater nrODOrtlon of impurities in the blood, the action of S. S. S. is such that these lm- i purities are converted into a substance that is readily expelled. Thus, instead of gathering on the surface to cause itching, eczema, salt rheum, tetter and other skin diseases they pass off as vapor or perspiration, the pores are left free, the nerves regain control and it Is Impossible for any disease to either gain or retain a foothold.

BERLIN, July 30 Senator Hum bert's exposure of the unpreparedness of the French war establishment in the immediate proximity - to the German frontier is not taken seriously in this country. ' General Keim. of the German Army League, who is an expert on the ins and outs of sentiment molding, says. In Der Tag, that the true inwardness of M. Humbert's revelations is a desire to pave the way for fresh French mili tary armaments. The Senator's declara tion that the republic s army is not equipped to cross either the Moselle or the Rhine gives the whole game away. according to General Keim, and illus trates clearly that the exposure is a parliamentary bluff for the purpose of scaring the country into fresh sacrifice for military expenditures. The bluff is timed, says General lieim, in order to enable President Poincare to nroceed to Russia with fresh assur ances for the Czar that France is pre pared to do still more, when the time comes, to enable the partners in th6 dual alliance to crush their mutual Ger man foe. General Keim asserts that Instead or being numerically inferior to the Ger man army at the present moment France, with 900,000 troops under arms, is vastly superior. Her artillery also is in no respect less effective than Ger many's in one or two derictlons It. is even superior. An incident throwing characteristic light on the unerring thoroughness of the French Intelligence service is being told. A German frontier cavalry regi ment near Metz was recently alarmed early in the morning and was ordered to carry out a makebelieve war maneu ver consisting in occupying a certain strategic point on the adjacent fron tier, s . Th regiment executed the order wun brilliant dash and with the greatest punctuality, but the officers were as tnniahvl tn find, as they approached the spot, that a full regiment of French cavalry was also riding toward the same point from the other side of the frontier. The two regiments srrived at the border line practically simulta neously. Both the German and the French officers considered it a huge joke and, dismounting, mingled for agreeable conversation and exchanged smokes for a matter of 15 minutes. The French had prompt knowledge of the maneuver and met it. BABY HURLED TO SAFETY Mother Hit by Big Automobile as She Sees Infant Caught. Tniv 27 The noliceman vaiV'Auu!

BERLIN, July 30. One of Berlin's leading economists, writing in the Tageblatt, challenges President Wil son's declaration that the existing busl. ness depression in America is "merely psychological." This statement, the writer declares is not supported by facts. "The truth is," he says, "that an excess of eco nomic reforms, including tariff revi sion the new banking law and prose ....(.. th. tmitR tnerether with the Mexican troubles and other political disturbances, has thrown business out of equilibrium.
