Mr. Rockefeller has been in- commu

which the Ambassador described the
dire need of the Belgians, and says
that "it will require $1,000,000 a month

"In fact," the Ambassador said, "many
will starve now before food can reach
them."
He added that the British government
forbids the export of food and that none
can be bought on the Continent.

"Work to Save Him.
With less than two days intervening
before election Senator Harry Lane,
who came scurrying back from Wash-
ington to aid his erstwhile political
enemy, yesterday pledged himself, as
well as Senator Chamberlain, to go be- -
fore President Wilson with a petition
for the pardon of Max G. Cohen, former
Portland attorney, who Is in the Mult
nomah County Jail pending transpor
tation to the McNeil Island peniten
tiary to serve a two-year sentence tor
subornation of perjury.
Woman Led to Perjury.
Cohen was convicted of this crime
for having persuaded a witness to per
jure herself In the case of Jake
Gronlch, a white slaver whom he was
defending, and who is now serving a
sentence at McNeil Island.
Not only did Senator Lane offer his
friendly offices to the members of Rose
City Lodge, B'nat B'rlth, assembled at
their ball on Thirteenth street near
Montgomery street, to procure the
Cohen pardon, so as to gain their votes
for Chamberlain, but John Montag.
Lane's appointee to the office of United
States Marshal, lent his official sanc
tion to the scheme, assuring his hearers
that Cohen would not be taken to Mc
Neil Island today. Monday, as he said
had been Intended.
A. F. Flegel, the reason for whoso
solicitude for Cohen was not apparent,
inasmuch as It wil be too late for him
to do anything for the convicted man
if he shall be elected to Congress, also
made a sympathetic speech.
Influence Is Promised.
"I don't know the actual facts In the
case of Max Cohen." said Senator Lane
in opening his speech, "but I will tell
yoa what I will do. You formulate
the petitions and assemble the facts in
the case and I will promise you that 1
will go to President Wilson personally
on behalf of your friend."
These remarks met with tremendous
applause and it was some time before
the crowd of several hundred were
silent enough to permit the Senator to
proceed.
"As a matter of fact. Senator Cham
berlain and myself will go together
and see the President." continued Sen
ator Lane. "It was not so very long
ago that I was called upon to do sim
ilar duty. 1 am here for that duty and
will do all 1 can for you. I know that
Senator Chamberlain would only be too
glad to help you out."
Marshal In Plan.
The Senator went on to tell how
busy he was in Washington and how
his time is limited to routine work. Ho
gave this reason for not being well
posted on the case.
United States Marshal Montag made
short address shortly following Sen
ator Lane and said be was the man
who had Max Cohen in custody and
that Cohen waa slated to leave today
for McNeill's Island. He told the audi
ence that Mr. Cohen would not leave
today, but gave no explanation for the
delay. Mr. Montag said he would do
in his power to make things as
bright as possible for Cohen.
1 have bad the occasion to meet your
friend. Max Cohen, only once and that
was in a legal way," said Mr. Flegel.
He did me a favor and 1 want to tell
you that I don't forget favors. I am
glad to see you stand by each other."
This brought continued apirlauso.
Plot la Alleajed.
Thomas Man nix, attorney for Cohen,
made a long address telling of the
great Injustice that was thrust upon
Mr. Cohen. "I took. Mnr Cohen's case
up following his conviction." said Mr.
Mannix, "and 1 want to say that if 1
thought that he was not innocent of
the crime for which he was sentenced
1 would not be here speaking in his
behalf.
"The woman's evidence that caused
the conviction of Mr. Cohen was
