serious bv the stoppage of the Jerusalem-Jaffa

SHIPPING BILL IS RUSHED
Continued From First Pate.)
Fletcher declared. F.ngtand had 5000
and Germany 100) vessels in the over
seas trade, while the United States bad
onlv six. lie said that American mer
chants gave annually to foreign ship
owners t300.000.vu0 in ocean freights.
Charter rates here had Increased in
some cases 400 per cent since the war
began, he added, and ships under the
American flag were not obtainable at
any price.
The emergency bill opening American
registry to foreign-built craft. Senator
Fletcher said, had not met the needs of
American manufacturers. He read lists
of the 105 ships which transferred their
flags to show none was a first-class
cargo boat: that more than SO per cent
of these were ships of companies which
xieeJed them for their own business,
and consequently added nothing to the
facilities for the transportation of gen
eral cargoes.
"We must see to It." he said, "that a
war between other countries never shall
cripple again our Industries for lack
of ships."
Oatrabaa Qaestlea Arises
An amendment to the bill submitted
by Senator Stone, designed to prevent
secret shipment of contraband to for
eign ports, would authorize the Presi
dent to designate from time .to time
ports where customs collectors would
be required to Inspect all cargoes be
fore loading. Heavy penalties would
be imposed upon shippers and vessel
masters for violations of the provision.
in the minority report the govern
ment ownership feature of the bill
was discussed at length, and objec
tions to such a policy were enumerated
as follows:
"Subtraction from the Held of per
sonal endeavor, destruction v of Indi
vidual initiative and motive for effort,
the constant tendency to maximum
costs, multiplication of government em
ployes and officials' Increased oppor
tunity for corruption, labor problems,
nimlniatxaUve ee4 executive, ineffld-
ency. restriction of the motive to In
vent and Improve the facilities of serv
ice, etc.; and. In general, it may be
said that industries reach their high
est perfection and greatest efficiency
when allowed to develop in the free
play of economic foces."
Senator Lodge served notice on the
Democrats that he would resort to
any parliamentary procedure to de
lay action on the shipping bill if an
attempt were made to "jam it through."
He characterized the bill as "thorough
ly vicious, economically and Interna
tionally." and "the grossest kind, of
a subsidy."

ATTORNEY ACCUSED
OF LAND
H. G. Lake Arrested on Charge
of Conspiracy With Logan,
Cogburn and Others.
MONEY TENDERS ALLEGED
Lawyers Said to Have Acted as
"Clearing Agent" for Men Who
Sent In "Locations" on Road
Grant Indictment Secret,
On one of the secret indictments re
turned by the November United States
grand Jury, H. G. Lake, an attorney
with offices In the Panama building
at Third and Alder streets, was arrest
ed yesterday by Deputy United States
Marshal MacSwaln. charged with Hav
ing entered into a conspiracy to de
fraud bv the use of the malls.
z 'Lake was released yesterday after
noon when he furnished a bond for
12000 signed by Mary A. Milne, 841 East
Thirty-first street. South, and P. H.
Roork, Route 2, Gresham.
The Indictment alleges that Lake,
who has been practicing his profession
in Portland for ten years, entered Into
a conspiracy with J. W. Xogan and
John Cogburn, alias J. H. Hunter, both
of whom are now serving terms at the
Federal penitentiary at McNeil Island.
Lake's arrest was the tenth on simi
lar indictments, which charge that the
scheme to defraud consisted in caus
ing people to take so-called "locations"
on lands within the Oregon & Califor
nia Railroad land grant, under the rep
resentation that they could profit
hereby.
i.nKe caiiea -Liranns Asem.
J. W. Logan and W. F. Minard, who
were convicted last Summe-, were the
first to be tried, and the scheme to
which the Government alleges Lake was
a party was brought out at that time,
with the statement by United States
District Attorney Reames that more
than $1,500,000 was obtained by those
engaged In the fraud, by which per
sons in nearly every western state
were affected. The amount usually
paid was 2150.

that he worked with Logan and
Cogburn, who acted as "field men. so

Oregon and California. Lake, it is al
leged, remained in Portland as the
clearing agent of the field men.

as agents of the railroad company, and
took "options." agreeing that tne com
pany would buy the land from the ap
plicants when the Government suit to
forfeit the land to itseii naa peen set

Tenders for Land Refused.
The duty of a "clearing agent," as
brought out in the Logan-Minard trial.
consisted of a visit to the local offices
of the Southern Pacific, successors In
Interest to the Oregon & California
Railroad Company, and there tendering
50 an acre for each lbo-acre tract
for which applications had been pro
cured by the "field men.
This tender always was refused Dy
the railroad company, which, however,
accepted a copy of the' application for'
its records. The "clearing agent tnen
would notify the applicant that, while
his tender had been refused, his appli
cation had been accepted and placed on
file.
This was In accord with what had
been told the applicant by the "field
men." and the Indictment against Lake
charges that his letters of notification
were u.-sd by the field men to get
other persons to make application.
WashtuBtonlans Said to Have Lost.
The applicant was led to believe it
was charged that the offer of the
money for the land would give him a
prior right as a claimant wnen tne
land had been forfeited finally by the
railroad to the Government, which he
was assured it would be, the case for
forfeiture then, as now, being on its
wav to final determination by the
United State. Supreme Court.
The indictment, alleges that Lake
was concerned in a scheme to defraud,

One of the outstanding features of
the whole case," said District Attorney
Roam vesterday. "is that so far not a
single operator of the fraud has been
found who has profited permanently in
any manner by reason of his connec
tion with It. Notwithstanding the fact
that all who have been convicted have

Governor West said that he would

or so longer. If the confession is sub

freedom.
Superintendent Law son, of the Peni
tentiary, said that Pender, when in
formed of the confession, made no
statement other than that he knew
Sierks, and was not astonished he had
admitted his guilt. Pender declined to
be interviewed, declaring that he had

BELGIAN CARE PROBLEM
BRITISH HAVE 100,000 . REFUGEES
AS GUESTS IN PRIVATE HOMES,
Possibllity of Permanent Aid Irks
Hosts and Government Has Taken
Jio Responsibility.
LONDON, Dec 22. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) One of the
hardest problems facing the British
public with the beginning of the new
year is that of caring for the Belgian
refugees in England, who now number
at least 160,000. Most of them are at
present guests in private houses all
over the country, and a small pro
portion are assembled in hotels or
boarding houses.
It is obvious that private hosts will
not care to make their hospitality
permanent. In fact, many of the of
fers of shelter In private homes were
limited to a period of one or two
months. The government has not as
sumed a definite responsibility in the
matter, -although evidently it will be
compelled to do so soon.
The government is nanoicappea.
moreover, by the fact that its resources
already are strained by the necessity
of providing lodgings for war prison
ers and interned aliens.
A chief difficulty is industrial. The

Kansas City, Mo.. Oct 14, 114.
"My husband had a rash all over his
body, and soon the WHOLE FAMILY
was In the same condition. It looked
scaly and raised up on the arms and
body in big bumps This trouble
burned and Itched so that it would
nearly drive one crazy. It was always
worse at night, so we could not sleep.
We all had this trouble for about two
or three years, and during that tlms
tried many remedies and prescriptions
with no results. We tried Reslnol Oint
ment and Resinol Soap and it RE
LIEVED AT ONCE, and before the
third Jar of ointment had been used, we
were all completely cured. It has been
four months since we were cured, and
there are no traces of the trouble."
