Clearing -House Head Says
Banks Here Will Aid in
Financing Situation.
GRAIN RELIEF IS FORECAST
Step Taken to Organize Currency
Association Under Aldricli-Vrec-lanri
Act Clearing - House
Basis Held Needless.
Preliminary steps were taken at a
meeting of the Portland Clearing
house Association yesterday to organ
ize a currency association In Oregon
similar to those that already have
been formed by banks in New York.
Chicago. Boston and other Eastern
financial centers under the Aldrich
Vreeland act.
The Portland clearing-house had
telegraphed to Washington on Monday
asking if Aldrich-Vreeland currency,
as provided for by this act, could be
forwarded here should it be desired.
At yesterday's meeting the following
nswered from John Skelton Willams,
Controller of the Currency, was read:
"Will send any amount of Vreeland
currency to which Portland banks may
be entitled under Aldrich-Vreeland
act. It can be shipped to sub-treasury
at San Francisco to expedite delivery
from that point when provisions of
the act have been complied with by the
applying association. If desired, will
forward blank forms."
steps to Organize Taken.
In reply, the Clearlng-Housc Asso
ciation telegraphed to Controller Will-
lams that steps already were under
way to organize a currency association
and asked him to forward to the San
Francisco sub-treasury the amount of
the currency to which the Portland
bunks would be entitled. A- L. Mills,
president of the Portland Clearing
house Association and of the First Na
tional Bank, said last night that this
amount presumably would be $11,
000.000. Controller Williams also was asked
to send on at once the application
blanks for the new currency associa
tion. The necessary preliminaries to
its organization, it was said by Mr.
Si ills, will probably take about two
Weeks.
v "We are forming the currency as
sociation in Portland." explained Mr.
Mills, "more with the view of satisfy
ing the public generally that the Port
land banks are doing their share In
financing the present situation, than
with any thought that we shall be
called upon to make use of such cur
rency. "The Portland banks are in excellent
condition. At the meeting today, rep
resentatives of the various banks said
that the demands upon them are but
little different than usual, and that
they were confident that there would
not De any unusual strain put upon
them by the public.
"The Portland clearing-house felt
that there was absolutely no need of
going on a clearing-house basis here.
From the reports of different members,
it was the general opinion that within
a short time, probably two weeks, ways
and means would be devised to finance
our grain shipments abroad. When this
has been accomplished, there is nothing
in the situation to cause the least
anxiety.
"Telegrams were received today
from banks in such Eastern centers as
New York, Chicago and St. Paul, as
well as from San Francisco. They as
sured us that the financial situation la
quiet and constantly Improving. With
the issuance by Chicago and New York
banks of Vreeland currency, the East
ern anxiety will be entirely dispelled.
"Take it all in all. Portland bankers
at the clearing-house meeting today
felt optimistic and that the general
financial situation all over the United
States was better than it had been for
the last few days and was steadily im
proving. The clearing-house will meet
iPhl at-3:30 o'clock today to talk over
what the members hear from the East
ern centers.
English v?r Ineffective.
"The possible effect of the declara
tion of war between England and Ger
many has been entirely discounted in
financial circles and will have no ef
fect on the financial situation. For
several days It had seemed inevitable
that England should be drawn into th?
"war. so that tonight's news of the
actual declaration of war between the
two countries has occasioned no sur
prise and cannot affect the situation."
To form a currency association lr.
Oregon under the terms of the Aldrich
Vreeland act. Mr. Mills explained, 10
National banks with a combined capi
talization of J3.000.00o are necessary.
We explained that several out-of-town
banks, including banks at Pendleton
and Eugene, had been invited to join-
The committee which has the organ
laution of the association in charge is
composed of C. F. Adams, of the First
National Bank; J. C. Alnsworth, of the
United States National Bank, and R. L.
Durham, of the Merchants National
Bank. Mr. Mills said the committee
bad reported that replies have not yet
been recelvid from all the outside
banks.

taxes delinquent on the first day of

taxes as originally enargea. ana is nm
in addition to the cumulative penalty
of 1 per cent a month applying during
the five months prior to septemoer a

-TOLSTOY'S VISION" OF
CONFLICT IS RECALLED
Message to Kaiser in 1911 Contains Prediction of World-Wide War, Rise
of New Napoleon and United States of Nations.
A
BY HECTOR ALLIOTT.
In Los Angeles Times.
SL'DDEN notion induced the Kai
ser to write to the Czar In the
early Autumn of 1911 asking to
obtain for him a message from Tol
stoy. Something that the philosopher
had never written before was the re
quest made by the Emperor.
The Czar, desirous of obliging his
"cousin" ail sovereigns claim blood
and divine relationship commanded
Countess Nastasia Tolstoy, grand
niece of the sage, to interview Leo
Nicolaevitch', as he was familiarly
called, and to secure from him the de
sired document.
This prophetic message, singularly
tlmeH at this hour, is known as "Tol
stoy's" Vision" by his admirers. Printed
in Russian in 1912, it was translated
and first circulated among the friends
of the great Muscovite philosopher as
a privately-printed and little-known
pamphlet.
Toltoy Heart! Command.
Following the royal command, Count
ess Tolstoy visited her grand-uncle at
his country estate and explained brief
ly her mission. He listened curiously
and replied:
"Very strange. I would be glad ot
send a message to royalty, but the
trouble with me is that I have writ
ten all my life messages for the mob.
I am not accustomed to the conventions
of court diction. However. I will think
the matter over."
A few moments afterwards her aged
host asked the Gountess to write, as
his hands were then paralyzed. Tol
stoy slowly leaned back in his chair,
covered his eyes with his hand, and
remained absoiutely silent.
Message la Begun.
Then, straightening up. like one in a
trance, he began in a low and hollow
voice:
"This is a revelation of events of a
universal character, which must
shortly come to pass. Their spiritual
outlines are now before my eyes. 1
see floating upon tne sunace ot tne
sea of human late the huge silhouette
of a nude woman. She is- with her
beauty, her poise, her smile, her jewels
a super-Venus, Nations rush madly-
after her, each of them eager to at
tract her especially. But she, like an
eternal courtesan, flirts with all. In
her hair ornaments of diamonds and
rubies is engraved her name: 'Com
mercialism.' As alluring and bewitch
ing as she seems, much destruction
and agony follow in her wake. Her
breath, reeking of sordid transactions,
her voice of metallic character, like
gold, ar.d her look of greed are so
much poison to the nations who fall
victims to her charms.
Three Torches Carried.
"And behold, she has three gigantic
arms with three torches of universal
corruption in her hand. The first torch
represents the flame of war, that the
beautiful courtesan carries from city
to city, and country to country. Pa
triotism answers with flashes of honest
flame but the end is the roar of guns
and musketry.
"The second torch bears the flame of
bigotry and hypocrisy. It lights the
lamps only in temples and on the altars
of false Institutions. It carries the
seed of falsity and fanaticism. It kin
dles the minds that are still in cradles
and follows them to their graves.
"The third torch is that of the law,
that dangerous foundation of all un
authentic traditions, which first does
its work in the family, thn sweeps
through the larger worlds of litera
ture, art and statesmanship.
Neav Napoleon Enters.
"The great conflagration will start
about 1912. set by-the torch of the
first arm in the countries of Southeast
ern Ejjrope. It will develop Into a de
structive calamity in 1913. In that
year 1 see all Europe in flames and
bleeding. I hear the lamentations of
huge battlefields. But about the year
1915 a strange figure from the North
a new Napoleon enters tne stage or
the bloody drama. He is a man of
little militaristic training, a writer' or
a journalist, but in his grip most of
Europe will remain till 1925.
"The end of the great calamity will
mark a new political era for the old
world. There will be left no empires
or kingdoms, but the world will form
a federation of the United States of
Nations. There will remain only four
great giants--the Anglo-Saxons, the
Latins, the Slavs and the iloagolians."
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ngton, Aug. 4. Senator Lane today
denounced the Administration's trade
commission bill, but concluded his 20
mi'nute "roast" by saying:
'I expect to be compelled to vote
for this bill because there will be noth-
g better offered."
In the course of his speech Senator
Lane said lie was in sympathy with
the purpose which framers of the bill
had in mind, but in his judgment the
Newlands bill will fail utterly of ac-
omplishing the desired end. He said
no two able attorneys in tne senate nau
been able to agree as to what the bill
means, or what it will accomplish, and
n his opinion the bill is entirely too
complicated and involved to be effective.
"It attempts to:- emedy certain evils
in a half-hearted way," said Senator
Lane, "by adopting Indirect methods
instead of boldly grasping the subject
and administering a treatment which
will accomplish desired results. '
Senator Lane voiced his entire lack
of confidence in such a commission
as will be created under this bill, giv
ing it as his opinion that the com
mission, being in no way responsible
to the people., is likely to be dominated
bv bie business and thus become the
tool of the very interests whose wrong
ful operations it is created to check.
He thinks there is great danger that
the trade commission will devote years
to investigating minor complaints
against small business concerns, while
allowing big concerns to continue un
interruptedly their operations against
which complaint is made.
"To delegate the sovereign power of
Congress to a commission which will
be drafted from God knows where, will
not only lead to an unending delay,
but will add enormous expense to a
long-suffering, overburdened people,"
he said.
Senator Lane declared Congress
should handle this problem by pass
ing a brief, plain and easily-understood
law, conferring upon the Attorney
General or some other recognized law
officer of the Government full power
to deal with unfair trade transactions,
suppression of competition and the like.
"I. look for no Immediate or other
gool results from this measure," he
said.
