4 THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTErr.ER 15, 1914. DEALERS FEEL WAR SHOCK IN ALL LINES Members of Retail Merchants' Association Discuss Busi ness at Dinner. of which has been cut off by the war may well be g-one without. "Our women can get along with leas paint and face powder," he said. "We can get along with less perfume and more soap, and we can get along with out all but the more Imortant drugs, like salvarsan, which cannot be had in this country now." TIE WITH EUROPE IS CUT Combat Makes Restocking Difficult, fcay Traders White to Reign, Patent Leather Shoes Go, and Other Changes Result. How business in all lines in the United States has beendisturbed by the great European war was told by Port land merchants at the Retail Merchants' Association dinner at the Commercial Club last niyht. Living cost in this country must mount higher and higher the longer the war continues, or until American en terprise devises ways and means to re place tile imports shut off by the war, was pointed out. 'We don't know where to look for goods to replace the depletion in our stocks since the war began," said sev eral speakers. As the symposium progressed evi dence became cumulative of how closely knit had been the commercial bonds be tween the United States and Europe, so that William F. Woodward, of the drug firm of Woodward, Clarke & Co., one of the last speakers, was impelled to exclaim: "Truly, man lives not unto himself alone; how much like brothers we are in our necessity!" Ilyes Cone; White to Reign. White will of necessity be fashion able next season because of the cutting off of the German dye .supply. Ameri can women will be compelled to forego patent leather shoes; surgeons will be hampered in their work by lack of the instrument of which the import sup ply has been cut off; silk instead of kid gloves will tie worn next season; labels on fruit cans will be printed in black instead of colors, and many other startling readjustments must be made if the war is to continue longer than a few months, according to evidence pre sented by the speakers. N'eariy all lines of business except the grocery trade were represented, and there was a laugh when W. B. Shively, assistant secretary of the Retail Mer chants Association, told the reason. "I called up three or four retail grocers," he said, "and could not get a definite promise from any of them to be here, and a little later 1 got a definite refusal. Then I called up a wholesaler and finally 1 learned why the grocers were shy. ''I was told that the United States Government is investigating the gro cery business with a view to. Indict ments for conspiracy to increase prices. The grocers did not want to come here and talk for fear their remarks might be used as evidence against themselves or their fellow tradesmen." Printer, Troubles Kelnted. C. A. Whltcmore. president of the Irwin-Hodson Printing Company, said that the increase already had been 100 to 300 per cent In the price of dyes that go int-j colored papers and ink. That gum arable has advanced -0 to 30 cents a pound, sulphites used in making cheap bonds and news print papers have advanced 110 a ton, lithographers are crippled because their supply of stones, obtained in Bavaria, has been cut off, were some points brought out. W. K. Lipman, of Lipman, Wolfe & CJ gave a general review of the tex tile situation, showing the great de pendence of American trade on Europe for nearly everything hut silks, which, M said, are largely made in tills coun try. But even the silk industry will suiter, he asserted, particularly in rib bolis, because of the lack of dyes, which have come mainly from dermany. "We have a four weeks' supply of velvet." said Mr. Lipman, "and when we sell mat we don't know where to get any more." Hardware Also Klses. Adolph A. Uekum, hardware dealer, told of the general advance, dne to the war. In everything in that line, saying that there was an advance in tin, anti mony, spelter and zinc, which come from Europe largely, and that he looked for a more pronounced advance. Cop per, however, has declined, as this is an exporting copper country, and the big German market has been shut off. Mr. Shlvely, speaking for F. G. Buf fum. the clothier, who could not be present, said that there would be no change in the price of men's clothing for suits grading under 130. but for suits higher-priced. In which imported material is used, a 15 to -0 per cent increase may be expected. breaking for J. 1. Plageman, of Llobes & Co., furriers, Mr. Shlvely said that the war would make but little dif ference, as the decreased European de mand would be about balanced by the decreased imports from that continent Likewise speaking for W. A. Knight, shoe dealer. Mr. Shlvely told of the threatened dearth of patent leather due to shutting oil the supply of Russian pony hides, used as a base. Tie said that American women would have to wear cloth-topped and dull finish shoes. Men's shoes have not yet been affected, but the demand for sol dlcrs' shoes will be sure to raise the price here, Mr. Knight had told him. Currency Act Praised. Wilfred P. Jones, of the Merchants National Bank, said that the closing of the New York Stock Exchange July 31 undoubtedly saved this country from a ' disastrous financial condition, in duced by the sudden demand of Euro pean Investors for the money invested in American securities. He also gave ufeat credit to the Aldrich-Vreeland currency act, as amended by the pres ent Congress, which, he said, took care of just the condition it was designed to meet, and did It nicely. Charles F. Berg, of Lennon's, cloth iers, exldbited a consular invoice show ing that 259 dozen gloves were shipped his firm from Germany July 30 on the steamer Berlin. "This is encouraging." he said, "but the question arises, where is the steam -e( Berlin?" ;John B. Hibbard. of J. K. Gill & Co.. book and stationery dealers, told of the advance in stationery, but said that there had been no advance In inks nor office furniture. Pluno Trade ot Hurt. i". M. Case, of the Wiley B. Allen Company, declared that the war had affected the piano business scarcely at all. because the best pianos in the world afe made in America, and the piano parts that have been imported can just as well be supplied here. 32. J. Jaeger, of Jaeger Bros., Jewel ers, said that, with the supply of Euro pean toys cut off, American mothers rduld fill their children's Christmas stiocklngs with American Jewelry, and said it so seriously that his joke al most "got by." E. B. Wheat, of the R. A. Thompson Optical Institute, saw an opportunity to build up an American manufacture of optical goods. William F. Woodward declared that a great many f the thing's the supply BISHOP TO BE NAMED TODAY Successor to Late Bishop Scad-ding to Be Clio-sen at Conference.

A dis patch from Copenhagen to the Evening News quotes the correspondent of the Berlinske Ubends, who telegraphs from Austrian headquarters as follows: "The Russians have done great exe cution with machine guns mounted in trees. Austrian doctors declare that they were unable to discover any evi dence that the Russian are using ex panding bullets. The Russian infantry men are said to fire high, owing to the excessive depth of their trenches, liua sian scouts are --burning houses as i means of signalling their artillery, but no charges of brutality have been made against them.

Wireless advices received today by Dr. Konstantine Theodor Dumba, Austro- Hungariati Ambassador to the United States, from Count von Berchtold, Min ister of Foreign Affairs at Vienna, read as follows: "The battle of Lemberg has been suc cessful. Our forces which were placed along and south of the Grodek road pushed back the enemy after five days' fighting. 'Ton thousand Russians and numer ous guns were captured; nut U was impossible to make full use of the suc cess because our northern wing near Itawaruska was endangered by over whelming Russian forces, not to speak of new Russian forces marching against General Dankl's army and into the in terval between this army and the Lemberg war theater. 'On account of the superior strength of the enemies. It was found necessary to collect our armies, now fighting with little rest heroically for three days, into favorable positions, prepar ing them for new actions. Clubs Vet to Report Will Swell Funds, Though Plans May Be Curtailed Unless Heavier Support Is Received. The Visiting Nurse Association will continue its ministry to the needy ill of Portland. In the campaign yesterday, the final result of which is not yet known, as many subscriptions are expected in the mail today, 200 members were added to the enrollment of the Visiting Nurse Association, making a total contribut ing membership of 625. Including a few donations outright, the amount of money secured by the women in the 16 booths in this city's business sec tion yesterday will be approximately 1700. Though this is not as great as was hoped. It is sufficient to continue the work of the association. Memberships to be received by mall today are ex pected to swell the total. There is a possibility that if enough money does not come in to the association today. It may be necessary to curtail the work probably dispensing with one or more nurses until enough money is avail able to re-employ them. Mrs. Robert G. Dieck, president of the organization and chairman of the cam paign committee. Is optimistic over the result and feels certain that the addi tional funds received today will in sure the continuance of the work in an efficient manner. While the work will -continue as long as funds are available, growth is out of the question until many more take out contributing mem berships. There aro several clubs which pledged hearty support yet to be reported. The Transportation Club and the Ad Club both donated $25 at meet ings of the executive committees. Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning 50 women in Portland's social circles wero downtown pre paring tables and booths for the cam paign of the. day. Two were in charge of each of 16 booths and were assisted by others. Probably the booth that secured the most memberships was that in the Commercial Club building, Mrs. A. A. Morrison and Mrs. W. D. Wheel wright in charge. There was little personal soliciting, the women allowing the signs about the booths to proclaim their purpose. Though a number of straight dona tions were made, the majority of money was for memberships, which were wel comed even more, as the memberships are permanent. The booths are all closed today, with the one exception of the one in the Yeon building, which will continue as a part of the welfare bureau exhibit this week. And further donations to the Visit ing Nurse Association should be sent to the office of the superintendent at 601 Medical building. Here the funds will be placed to the best advantage of the work.

MMAMNiA TABLETS FOR ALL PAIN "The efficiency of any drug" says D r. C. P. Bobbins, "Is known to us by the results we obtain from its use. If we are able to con trol pain and disease by means of any pre paration, we certainly are warranted In Its use. One of the principal symptoms ot all diseases Is pain, and this is what the patient most often applies to uafor, I. e. something to relieve his pain, u we can arrest tms promptly, the patient is most liable to trust in us for the other remedies which will effect a permanent cure. One remedy which I have used largely in my practice Is Anti kamnia Tablets. Many and varied are their uses. I have put them to the test on many occasion?, and have never been disappoint ed. I found them especially valuable for headaches of malarial origin, where quinine was being taken. They appear to prevent the bad after-effects of the quinine. Anti kamnla Tablets are also excellent for the headaches from Improper digestion; also for headaches of a neuralgic origin, and es pecially for women subject to painsat certain times. Two Anti-kamnla Tablets give prompt relief.andinashort time the patient is able to go about as usual." These tablets maybe obtained at all druggists. Ask for A-K Tablets.

(Special ) Alleging that she had been insulted by saloonkeepers and other residents of Klamath Kails and that she had ap plied in vain to the city, officials for protection, 01rs. CL A. Moore, of Port land, today appealed to Governor West for protection. Mrs. Moore says that she is the owner of a supply house in Portland, and that she has been en gaged in business 35 years. Governor West will make an investigation at once. "It appears," wrote Mrs. Moore, "that the saloon element mistook me for a saloon investigator and have proceeded to annoy me. I had been here just a week when 1 was viciously chased by an apparent 'bunco' man and had a narrow escape, as I now believe, with my life. The following morning I re ported the incident to the police and insisted upon them investigating the matter. The police claimed that the man they suspected was a .stranger and had left town." A few days later, according to the writer, she was grossly insulted while on Main street. She said a drunken man tried to seize her and that she jerked away. After going almost a block away and while calling on one of the customers, Mrs. Moore avers that one of the men she passed at a saloon Invited her to return with him to the saloon where he would get her an order. "I proceeded to upbraid him,' the let ter continues. Two policemen stood there looking on at this proceeding and made no effort to arrest the man, though I demanded of them several times to arrest him." - Mrs. Moore says that she received a malicious and threatening letter a few AID SEEKERS WANT BEST PENNILESS REFUGEES LIVE IN LUX I'RY IN LONDON. I t s i i M-Pasiage to Xr-v York Also Demanded, and Committee I snes Explanation. LONDON, Sept. 14. Two young Ameri can women who arrived from Berlin Saturday night were given the address of an inexpensive hotel by the Ameri can relief committee. Instead of going there, they put up at a luxurious hotel and today, according to the committee, appeared at the relief headquarters and presented a hotel bill for $50. request ing that it be paid on their behalf. They also asked to be provided with first-class passage on a steamer to New York, as they swore that they were penniless. The committee felt compelled to pay the hotel bill, but allowed them only $1.75 each daily for living expenses until Saturday, when they will proceed to New York as second-class passen gers. This privilege was granted be cause the young women declared that they were in frail health. This and similar cases have caused Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the committee, to issue the following state ment: The American prees may ,e Interested to know that they may expect a large number of Interviews denouncing this committee upon the arrival of the steamers at New York. Th committee has made It an In flexible rule that people appealing to them for relief and claiming to be entirely with out resources should be went to the United Slates in the third class, unless circum stances such as age or illnes or having children with them justified the extra ex penditure for additional accommodations. A large number of Americans are now arriving from the continent convinced that, though they may be without means themselves, th'y havo only to apply to the committee to re ceive first-elans passage to New York. When informed of the committee's inflexible rule, which Is applied to all Americans Impar tially, no matter what may be their pre sumed social standing, they usually tell the committee! that they will see to It imme diately they arrive In New York that the committee gets blown up In the I'ew York papers. Any American who wishes better accom modations than the third class provided, may cable through the committee to his American friends for money, and if they ad. vance it, can travel on any scale ho pleases, but when they refuse to cable or declare they are without means of their own. under the committee's Inflexible rule subject only to Euch exceptions as I have stated, they will b given only third-class fares.
