tat the executive committee conference
Jto be held in the Chicago Progressive

should be followed in the 1916 Presi
dential campaign. Several of those
r'who will sit in the conference arrived
-today.
- By "drifting" it is meant that the Na
tional organization will be maintained
Jfbr the present and that amalgamation

Sdeclded on when the time is ripe for
political deals in 1916.

M. G. Callaghan, an editor from Rlch
Smond, was the Hoosier who sprung the
VTohnson boom. Governor Johnson was
re-elected as a Progressive in Califor

- George W. Perkins, of New Tork,
chairman of the executive committee,
arrived on a late train. He was ac
companied by O. K. Davis, secretary of
"lie National committee. The early ar
rivals, most of whom conferred with

WaIdo Coe. Oregon; Rudolph H. Leeds
and E. A. Toner, Indiana.
Considerable Talking Expected.
Editor Callaghan, with the Johnson
boom, accompanied Mr. Leeds and Mr.
Toner from Indiana. There will be
considerable talk and "blowing oft" of
steam, as one leader put it. in the con
ference. After that is done they hope
to vote to continue the National organ
ization for action next year.
Besides talk of amalgamation ulti
mately other propositions will be sug
gested. Hugh T. Haibert, who was
the Progressive candidate for Governor
of Minnesota, hag an Idea, He wants the
party organization maintained and a
mass convention of Progressives in all
parties called for the purpose of adopt
1ns a platform to be supported by the
Progressives.
If the old parties do not have candi-
dates who will subscribe to such a
.-.platform, then to put in a Progressive
rparty ticket is the plan of Mr. Haibert.

AHked Kenton Ruling.
If applications for renewal of liquor
licenses In 1!15 is any criterion, Port
land will have as many saloons next
year as at present. Every saloon hold
ing a license, 385 in number, has filed
application for renewal. Yesterday was
the last day for such application and
all were In hours before the time limit.
. It is expected that the actual number
to drop out at the end of the year can
..not be told until the time limit for the
making of the payment of license fee
has expired, about Christmas. It is
jCpntended that a large number of those
' wlfb filed application for renewal will
-be missing when it comes to paying the
$400 for the first six months.
XZ Several grocery stores that have held
,3 grocer's liquor licenses during the past
-year and one grill failed to apply for
. a renewal. Among them is Turne Halle.
' Among the applicants for renewal of
license is M. Woodward, who conducts
ra. saloon at 1734 Derby street, in the
Kenton district. This district was voted
dry in the last election and It is said
,- the City Council will be unable to grant

..-was made by Mr. Woodward on advice
-of an attorney, and it is expected a

SECURITY LEAGUE FORMS

Defense Measures.
NEW YORK. Dec. 1. The National
Security League, a new organization
which will work toward causing a Con
gresslonal investigation into the con
dition of the Army, Navy and coast de
fenses of the United States as the first
step in a proposed country-wide cam
paign to insure the enactment of Na
tional and state legislation necessary
, for maintaining National security, was
created here tonight at a meeting of
250 representative citizens of New York.
Resolutions were passed asking Pres
ident Wilson to act speedily on Repre
sentative Gardner's resolution request
ing an investigation into the armament
of the United States and authorizing
the appointment by Chairman S. Stan
wood Menken of a committee of 60 to
organize branches of the new league
throughout the country. The new
league was formed, the resolution said,
because "under the changed conditions
of international relations it may not be
wise to continue to intrust our National
defense to hurried emergency meas
ures." Dr. William T- Hornaday proposed
that a bill be presented to Congress at
its first day's session providing for the
recruiting and. training of 5000 men as
officers.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1. President
Wilson's letter to Representative Gard
ner was made public today. The Presi
dent wrote:
"You may be sure that I do not have
an attitude of indifference to the great
subject which you broach, but I should
like very much to have a conference
with you before the resolution you
have in mind is offered, in order to
present my views to you more fully
than is possible in a letter."
Mr. Gardner said today he feared the
President intended to "lay the cold
hand of death on the whole movement"
if he could.

CITY DROPS 35 EMPLOYES
Fiscal Year and Expense Budget
Start Series of Dismissals.
Thirty-five employes, who have been
engaged in various capacities in the
city service, were dropped yesterday as
a result of the retrenchment plan
adopted by the City Council in Its
budget of expenses for the fiscal year
of 1915, which began yesterday.
The dismissals were principally of
surveyors and laborers in the public
works department and brought to a
sudden stop all the survey work in
connection with the Peninsula sewer
system and the regrade of the O.-W.
R. & N. tracks on the East Side from
Sandy boulevard to the city limits.
Two stenographers in the Auditor's
office and one Janitor in the City Hall
bureau were dropped.
About January 1 there will be close

SEES ROSY FUTURE
Firm's Outlook Best in His
tory, Says Merchant, and
Optimism Is Only Need.
PROSPERITY WITHIN CALL
Vast Proposed Improvements Are
Noted and Community Confi
dence Is Crged to Make
Times In Oregon Sam.
"Never in tho history of this firm
have we had occaison to feel more faith
In the future of Portland and the Co
lumbia Basin than now," said Julius L.
Meier yesterday, replying to reports
that his firm has curtailed construction
and operation work.
"The entire prospect Is the very best,"
continued Mr. Meier. "I have heard re
ports circulating by certain pessimists
tnat we are retrenching. One says we
will build only two stories, instead of
14, for our great addition. Another
that we have discharged several hun
dred employes. Instead of these canards
being worthy of credence, I wish to
say that we have let contracts for $700,-
000 of the work, almost entirely with
Portland firms, and soon will let con
tracts for $500,000 more, which also will
be almost entirely with Oregon firms.
1 will also say that we today have the
largest payroll in the history of the
firm; that we occupy the largest floor
space we ever occupied, and' that we
could not ask for a more certain, reas
suring future.
Bright Fstnre Seen.
"Stop this pessimism. Big things are
ahead, if we can but get confidence.
City, state and Nation are entering upon
most important developments. If we
will do our part, not in a boom spirit,
but in actual, determined, hard con
structive work, our prosperity will
amaze the most optimistic. We always
make it a plan to build two to four
years ahead of immediatee require
ments. We are now carrying out the
most important improvement work we
ever undertook, and if we felt that
there was any prospect of depression
of a serious nature immediately ahead.
It would be a serious mistake on our
part.
"It is the duty of the heavier inter
ests of every community so to adjust
its affairs to help the community most.
By building in periods of light depres
sion, when other work has fallen away,
we try to do our part in this plan. By
erecting a $1,250,000 store addition at
this time we had this community pur
pose in mind, but since we have " got
launched in the big enterprise, we have
evidence that we will need all the enor
mous space to be provided much sooner
than expected. We are building ahead,
but there is certainty that Portland's
growth of business soon will overtake
our efforts. We could not ask for a
better prospect, if the whole community
will but settle down to quiet, hard work
and give rein to confidence.
Optimism Present Weed.
"With a little optimism we could get
immediately ' launched here building
operations that would mean the expen
diture of several million dollars during
the Winter and early Spring months.
Look at some of this work.
"Our store will put in circulation be
fore the middle of next year $1,250,000
for new construction alone.
"If we will work with our Congres
sional delegation energetically we can
get the new Postofflce building started
soon, meaning an expenditure of $1,000,
000 in less than a year.
"The First National Bank will soon
have its construction started on the
elegant new borne for the amalgamated
Institution, meaning an outlay of many
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"I know of an Industrial enterprise
that is practically ready to start on
construction that will necessitate the
expenditure of $300,000. Optimism and
strong business assurance will help
this.
"I have personal knowledge of an
other Industrial effort that could be

Here' It Is

ICO
brought to this city with ease by- Port
land, which would mean the expendi
ture of $800,000 to $900,000 on plant
alone. I am confident that this will
come, but it could be made a certainty
and quickened by the united effort of
our city and an evidence of confidence
in the future.
Factory Site Here Snizkt
"I also have knowledge of the repre
sentative of another manufacturing
firm coming to this territory for a fac
tory site, the cost of which would be
$65,000 to $80,000 and the regular pay
roll lof which would be 35 to 40 men.
Community confidence would help it.
"I notice that the Allen shingle mill
is erecting a plant by the Union Meat
Company plan, which will mean a per
manent payroll of many. men.
"I notice that the Willamette Iron &
Steel Works got the big repair contract
for the steamship Santa Catalina, which
will mean an outlay in the nelt four
months of $300,000 and a heavy payroll
of a few hundred men during that time.
Community pull and determination won
this.
"I have information on another im
portant enterprise, the name of which
cannot be given out. but which will
probably put $100,000 to $150,000 Into
its plant, and there seems no possibil
ity of this being defeated.
"There are several industrial concerns
taht have been nibbling for Portland
locations, two or three others of which
could be mentioned, but none being in
the state of almost certainty that seems
to govern these I have mentioned. The
names of these enterprises cannot be
given out now, for obvious reasons, but
it is clear that there are men who have
confidence and if they are met by this
community in any fair spirit of con
fidence the work will be inaugurated.
CeUlo Work Great.
"There are public improvements that
must be co-ordinated. At Celilo Falls
there will be spent between this time
and next June approximately $600,000
in finishing the canal and locks there.
This will mean a payroll of from 800 to
1200 for most of the time.
"At Oregon City we have the money
appropriated for . purchase and recon
struction of the canal and locks. This
money is waiting and from $200,000 to
$300,000 could be put into the new work
if we bring pressure to bear to have the
Government acquisition expedited.
"Again, $1,000,000 has been appro
priated for the Jetty at the mouth of
the Columbia. .
"If we get our rights we can have
$450,000 or $500,000 of Federal' moneys
invested in Deschutes irrigation work
and I have absolute confidence that the
state may attain this end by concert of
action. .
"I also believe that the big Umatilla
extension project could be brought
nearer realization for Immediate aid, if
we got at it. and thus insure the ex
penditure of $400,000 or $500,000 before
the middle of next year. It is worto
the effort.
"That Auditorium could be construct
ed, if we. got right down to business
and insisted upon clearing away the
obstructions that have caused delay.
The people voted to have the building
erected. Now is the time above all
when the work should be undertaken.
Let us see if we cannot get $500,000
to $600,000 of public funds put into
action in this manner, providing a
mucn-neeaea institution.
Highway Provides Work.
'On the Columbia Highwav between
Astoria and the eastern bounds of
Multnomah County there has been
spent a good part of $1,500,300, and
the work is still under way. If we
provide in the annual budget for $245.-
000 for finishing grading and building
bridges on our part of it, and then sell
Donas to the extent of $1,000,000 for
hard-surfacing this highway and sev
eral other important roads of Multno
mah County, we would perform a
work of the utmost value to the com
munity, and at the same time open
an avenue for employment of a large
rorce or men during these days of rel
ative quiet.
I could mention many other projects.
now under way, certain to come soon,
or which could be reached by -community
effort. These suffice.
"This is the way to- take care of the
unemployment problem. Let the pub
lic do its Improvement work now. Let
our large institutions go ahead with
normal work, building for the big fu
ture just ahead. We can quickly con
vert the present conditions into a pe
riod of remarkable prosperity. But
to do it we must have confidence, talk
with optimism and work intelligently.
Take the state and Nation. No bet
ter prospects could be asked. Our
crops have sold at enormous figures,
bringing into this immediate territory
$3,000,000. or $4,000,000 more than nor
mal for wheat and flour alone. Our
oats have brought top prices, and are
going abroad. .Barley the same. Live
stock for food is soaring. Horses are
bringing the best prices they have
known. Wool is at the top of its range
of price in recent years.
II ii ml Communities Prosper.
"We have so many elements of
strength in the country that the rural
communities will soon send over lis a
wave of prosperity. The farmers are
paying their old debts, mortgages, etc..
and the financial institutions holding
these are being relieved in important
measure.
"There are certainly unmistakable
signs of prosperity coming in the coun
try at large. That $70,000,000 balance
of trade reported today is but one of
them. As this balance of trade climbs
higher and higher in our favor, there
will be rapid relief from the financial
pressure from abroad.
Institution of the Federal Reserve
banking system must be a factor of
the greatest moment. With this new
distribution of the finances of the
country, there will be easy money for
commercial requirements, with the
Government behind the pledge, and
within 60 to 90 days' rates of discount
of commercial paper must go down.
The changed reserve situation also will
release a large amount of capital that
could go into development and rural
credit work. Great good is certain
from this source in the immediate
future.
"The cotton industry is experienc
ing relief also, from improved condi
tions. More men are going to work
in the steel trade. There is an im
proved order everywhere. Let us cease
doubting.
And has it occurred to you that if
the war continues our country must
furnish the largest portion of the prod
ucts, including food and clothing, for
the warring nations? If the war ceases
the demand will be still greater for
aU lines of exports during the period
of rehabilitation."

Leciyard Testifies Voice Said

J. P. MORGAN'S NAME USED
Details of Alleged Impersonation ol
Representative Palmer Related.
Effort Made to Obtain
Job for Lawyers.
NEW TORK, Dec. 1- Testimony by
Lewis Cass Ledyard and Representative
A. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania,
today regarding telephonic conversa
tions lAaitni? with the United States
Steel Corporation iJaIpd,S. P. Morgan, was
the principal development m mo
of David Lamar 5n the Federal District
Court here on the charge of Imperson
ating Representative Palmer with in
tent to defraud the Steel Corporation
and the Morgan firm.
Although three Indictments nan oeeo
brought against Lamar, charging him
with impersonating officers of the
United States with fraudulent, intent.
District Attorney Marshall announced
today that the only one to be pressed
would be that accusing him of repre
senting himself as Mr. Palmer and at
tempting improperly to procure the em
ployment of Edward Lauterbach. a law
yer, by the Steel Corporation and the
Morgan firm.
Representative Palmers tesnmony
was brief, consisting mainly of a denial
that he had talked over the telephone
with Mr. Ledyard between February 4
and 8, 1913, the period when, it is
charged, Lamar conversed with Mr.
Ledyard in the guise of the Pennsyl
vania Congressman. When counsel for
the defense conceded that Mr. Palmer
had not spoken to Mr. Ledyard on those
days, the member of Congress was ex
cused to catch a train for wasnington.
Mr. Ledyard testified that on Febru
ary 4 he had been summoned to the
telephone to talk with a "Congressman
P." The witness continued:
"When I took up the telephone a
voice said: 'This is Congressman P.
Do you know who 1 am V I told him
No.' He askad if the information that
he came from an Eastern district in
HOW I DARKENED MY
GRAY HAIR
Lady Gives Simple Home Recipe That
She Used to Darken Her Gray
Hair.
For years I tried to restore my gray
hair to its natural color with the pre
pared dyes and stains, but none of them
gave satisfaction and they were all ex
pensive. I finally ran onto a simple
recipe which I mixed at home that
gives wonderful results. I gave the
recipe, which is as follows, to a num
ber of my friends, and they are all
delighted with it: To 7 oz. of water add
a small box of Barbo Compound. 1 oz.
of bay rum and oz. of glycerine. Use
every other day until the hair becomes
the required shade, then every two
weeks. It will not only darken the
gray hair, but removes dandruff and
scalp humors, and acts as a tonic to
the hair. It is not sticky nor greasy,
does not rub off and does not color the
scalp. Ton can prepare it at home at
very little expense, Adv.

Again I said 'No.' Then he spelled his
name out for m-s: 'P-A-L-M-E-P.' and
asked if that identified him. I Baid. it
did.
The peado Palmer then told Mr. Led
yard that he understood Ledyard was
conversant with the plans of the United
States Steel Corporation, and the wit
ness replied that he did not represent
the Steel Corporation.
"He said," continued the witness,
"that Mr. Morgan had refused to listen
to any plans to stop the investigation
of the money question and that both
Gary and Perkins knew of this attitude.
I - asked him how he knew Mr. Mor
gan's position and he replied that he
Knew it perfectly well."
The following day the telephonic con
versation was renewed. Mr. Ledyard
said, and the voice asked him whether
he represented the Steel Corporation or
Mr. Morgan. When Mr. Ledyard replied
tnat ne Old not represent either, but
thought he held Mr. Morgan's confi
dence, he said he was much disturbed
over this statement. He said it was
not until Mr. Morgan's attitude of de
fiance to the Government had become
apparent that the money Investigation
had become the policy of the Dem
ocratic party. He said the Speaker him

doubt thrown over the situation.
