cupied the witness stand for five hours
today at the inquiry being; conducted
here by the United States Commission
on Industrial Relations into the great
philanthropic foundations and the cause
of industrial unrest. He underwent
rigid cross-examination at the hands of
Frank Walsh, chairman of the Com'
mission, as to the policies and actions
of the Colorado Fuel 6c Iron Company.
Mr. Rockefeller treely admitted that
be had no knowledge concerning labor
questions, but declared he was in favor
of labor organizing? and taking action,
provided it kept within the law. "leav
ing every worker free to associate
himself with such groups or to work
independently, as he may choose.
"Father has Invested $14,000,000 In
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company,

worth $13,000,000. Father would have
been much better off had he put his
money in a savings bank.
Fromlse f Remedy Made.
The witness furnished the Commis

by which he determined where his
money should be invested. Be said that
if information concerning alleged bad
conditions in the mining camps of the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company was
furnished him lie personally would do
what he could to remedy them.
While he testified more than a score
of police and private detectives
mingled in the great crowd in the
room in the City Hall, in which the
hearing is being conducted. A body
guard of detectives escorted Sir. Rocke
- feller to and from the City Hall, and
the corridors were cleared' of all per
sons while the heir to the Rockefeller
fortune was passing In and out.
He considered it a hardship, he said,
when a man had to work seven days

ness said he had worked seven days a
week. ,
One Day of Rest Xeedful.
'I think every man is entitled to a
, day of rest." he said.
"On September 23. 1913, did you have
information that the men were about
to co on a strike?" Mr. Walsh asked.
"1 recall no such information he
replied, "The information that I had
was quite to the contrary."

Two pretty shades of coloring are
used and add to the attractiveness.
The Ford Sedan is the new body re
cently announced. The car on exhibi
tion is to be the private equipage of F.
B. Norman, manager of the Portland
branch. There is nothing lacking in its
body finish or equipment, and the de
sign gives the car a much more bal
anced and refined look than would be
though possible with the small chassis
of the regular Ford.
The honors of first sales are dis
puted. The touring-car honor seems
to be in a fine big muddle, with every
dealer laying claim to the title of first
sale.
Vur Sales Reported.
So far but three agents have laid
claim to the honor of having sold the
first truck, and all place the time with

went out of Its hands on Saturday also.
The accessory men are demanding
more attention all the time. Several of

the work of repairing should be done

PLEA FOR OREGON IS MADE
Chamberlain and Sinnott Appeal to
Appropriation Committee.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 25. Representative Sin
nott and Senator Chamberlain today
appeared before the House committee
on appropriations and urged appropria
tions of all amounts recommended by
Secretary Lane for Government irri
gation work in Oregon -during; the year
beginning July 1. including . $450,000
for some project yet to be selected i
Central Oregon. They pointed out that
past discrimination against Oregon
the distribution of reclamation funds,
and aside from showing the necessity
for the amounts recommended for the
Umatilla and Klamath projects, they
indicated the fairness of the Secre
tary's recommendation that $450,000
be allowed for some new project. They
especially urged that this appropria
tion be made as last recommended by
Secretary Lane, to be available for use
on any project of which Secretary
approves, for if made on those terms
the money can be spent either for an
independent government project or for
some project to be built jointly by the
state and Federal Government The
committee did not give any indica
tion of its purpose.
MOVIE MEN ARE INDICTED
Kx-Meiuber of Band of Desperadoes
Accused of Swindle.
CHICO, CaL," Jan. 25. (Special.)
George Sontag, member of the once-
notorious Sontag and Evans gang which
terrorized California 20 years ago, and
George E. Duke, a former realty opera
tor of Oakland, Richmond and Santa
Rosa, were indicted by tne Butte County
grand Jury today on charges of obtain-
lng money under false pretenses. The
indictments are the result of their oper
ations in connection with, the United
States Feature Film Company, which
was organized by them last Summer
to produce a picture which was said
to depict some of the operations of the
Evans and Sontag gang.
The principal charge against them is
that they sold stock in Chico and Oro
ville with the understanding that they
were to rectve no promotion stock, and
that Duke had put $15,000 of his own
money into the company. Both these
statements were declared misrepresen
tations. Duke was arrested in Orovllle
tonight and released under $4700 bonds,
Sontag is in San Francisco, and notice
was sent to the-San Francisco police to
arrest him. .
Effort Is Made to Discredit Testimony
of Man Involving Bryan Consul
Defends Defendant la Hearing.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25. A letter from
President Wilson commending tile ad
ministration of Walter W. Vick as Re
ceiver-General of customs at Santo Do
mingo was placed in evidence today at
the inquiry before Senator-elect Phe
lan. of California, into the fitness of
James M. Sullivan, American Minister
to the Dominican Republic. It was Mr.
v ick who, after resigning his post, in
tigated the charges of unfitness
against Sullivan which led to the pres
ent investigation.
The letter addressed to Vick from
the White House on June 22, 1914,
expressed the President's regret that
ick felt obliged to resign, and "my
sincere admiration for the way in
which you have administered a difficult
task."
Frank J. R. Mitchell occupied the
stand the greater part of the session
and entered denial .to all the charges
against the Banco Nacional, of which he
was president.

of M. E. Davis that he had been told

Dealers are laying emphasis on the
Improvements which many have made
in the designs of springs and tonneau
arrangements which are Intended to
add to the comfort of the passengers.
Thj White, for one. has a tonneau built
for the average touring party of four

The back of the front seat is beauti

Two features which attracted much
attention are the Ford Sedan and the
new line of Chalmers which arrived
yesterday.
New Models Admired.
The Chalmers was the subject of
much comment because of the wonder
ful finishing which the bodymakers
have done. Its points are too numer-
in the lecture-room on the second floor.
The Columbia River Highway lec
tures by Samuel C. Lancaster will be
continued today. His wonderful views
have caused no end of comment, and
the lecture is one of the best attended
features of the show each night.
Picture Exhibit Unique.
The big feature of the evening at the
show was Samuel Hill and J. B. Middle-
ton, who is associated with Mr. Hill In
the Home Telephone Company.
Their exposition opened up a new art
and was applauded with the presenta-
of the Panama-Pacific Exposition in
San Francisco. With Mr. Moore, Alex
ander Graham Bell, the inventor of the
telephone, and President Vail, of the
American Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany, on the wire, at different pftints,
the President extended congratulations
on the achievement.
"It appeals to the imagination to
speak across the continent," said the
President to Mr. Moore. "I congratu
late you on the fine prospects for a
successful exposition. I am confident
ly hoping to take part in it after the
adjournment of Congress. May I not
send my greetings to the management
tion of each new picture. It is said to and to all whose work has made it pos-

color in such a manner as to produce
all the varying shades between heighth
of day and darkest night.
An Oregon orchard of the Hood River
Valley is first shown in full bloom.
Then the picture on the screen changes
from a mass of pink and white to
green tree with its load of leaves and
fruit. Very gradually the color changes
under the hand of Autumn until the
deep colors of late Fall are brought into
the trees.
An interesting exhibit of last night
was that of the Pacific Motors Com
pany, which had a Maxwell camp car
on exhibition. The Maxwell features
removable front seat. This can be
taken out and turned down so that the
back takes the place of the back
cushion. The back cushion is moved
forward and the effect is a Pullman
car berth arranged in less time than it
takes a Pullman porter to make it up.
The Reo cars were a popular host
last night. Fred W. Vogler was asked
again, and again about the Reo Six
which is soon to be here. The new
four attracted a great deal of atten
tion.
Of special merit was the music last
night furnished by an orchestra of ten
pieces. Vocal selections were renaerea
by Miss Hazel Koontz, assisted by Dean
Goodman.
The oarade. which was such a suc
cess last night, may be repeated to
night by an impromptu gathering of
dealers and motorists.
The Dulmage-Manley Auto Company
has on display a motor out of a Hup
mobile demonstrator which has caused
much comment. .Tnis motor was tne
first 1915 to come to Portland, and im
mediately upon arrival Mr. Dulmage
took the car and toured soutnern ure-
gon.
Manager Joseph M. Kieg declared last
night that, in point of outside entries,
the show was a great success. So far
he has been handed 20 mileage rebate
checks from visitors who have come
from Oregon. Washington and Idaho.
PAPER EXPERJJS. WANTED
Commissioner Dieck Desires Ad
viser for City's Purchases.
Purchase of paper by the municipal
ity on specifications Dased upon an offi
cial test, instead of on the present basis,
is proposed by City Commissioner Dleck.
He sent a communication to members
of the City Commission yesterday ask
ing them to back him in the appoint
ment of F. A. Olmsted as paper expert
to assist City Chemist Dulln in prepar
ing specifications. Mr. Olmsted, it is
said, has agreed to give his services
for $100.
Commissioner Dieck says the city at
present is buying paper in an unscien
tific manner, lie says an official test
probably would save the city consider
able money. Commissioner Daly prob
ably will oppose the plan.
L M. FRANKJFACES DELAY
Alleged Slajer's Request for Early
Hearing of Appeal Opposed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Attorneys
for Leo M. Frank, convicted of the
murder of Mary Phagan, an Atlanta
factory girl, filed a formal motion to
day in the Supreme Court for an early
hearing on nrnns appeal, on nis
habeas corpus proceeding.
Owing to the pressure of business in
other courts, however, it was announced
that the Attorney-General of Georgia
was unwilling to agree to a hearing
earlier than I'ebruaiy 22.
New York, the President then spoke to
Thomas A. Watson, in San Francisco.
Mr. Watson was Dr. Bell's electrician
at the time of the invention of the tele
phone and was the first person to hear
a word spoken over a telephone.
1 consiuer it an honor," said the
President, "to be able to express my
admiration for the inventive genius
and scientific knowledge that has made
tnis possible and my pride that this
vital cord should have been stretched
across America as a new symbol of our
unity and our enterprise. Will you not
convey my cordial congratulations to
Dr. Bell? And I want to convey, too.
my personal congratulations, sir."
-Mr. Vail, listening in on the line at
Jekyll Island, the President then spoke
to ur. seu:
iiay x not congratulate you very
warmly on this notable consummation
or your long labors and remarkable
achievements? said the President.
"You are justified in feeling a great
pride in what has been done. This is
a memorable day and I convey to you
my warm congratulations."
The President said that he could hear
Mr. Moore in San Francisco very distinctly.
The transcontinental service will not
be established for public use until
Dout March 1. It will cost $20.71
for three minutes conversation between
New York and San Francisco and $6.75
for each additional minute.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan.. 23. After the
first successful Interchange of mes
sages between Alexander Graham Bell
and Thomas A. Watson, in talking to
day from New York to San Francisco,
the original instrument used in the
first conversation between the two was
cut in on the circuit and the voices
still were distinct.
As a further test, an extension was
set up from New York to Jekyll Is
land, Florida, where Theodore N. Vail,
president of the American Telephone
& Telegraph Company, kas waiting, and
and Mr. Watson and Mr. Vail talked
over a circuit 4600 miles long.
Mayor Rolph, of San Francisco, Mayor
Mitchel, of New York, and many others
exchanged messages.
CONNECTION" MADE QUICKLY
San Francisco and Portland Talk
Distinctly Distance of TOO Miles.
When President Wilson ' and Dr.
Alexander Graham Bell had finished
talking from Washington and New
York, respectively, to San Francisco,
The Oregonian was in communication
with San Francisco. The connection
between Portland and San Francisco
was effected in less than three minutes
and the voice of W. H. Levings. assist
ant city editor of the San Francisco
Chronicle, was heard in the office of
The Oregonian, over a distance of more
than 700 miles, as clearly as if it had
been a local call under perfect condi
tions. "Our reporters talked to New York
and Washington and Mr. De Young
held conversation with the New York
World office and the Boston Post." said
Mr. Levings. who is a brother of L. L.
Levings, of Portland. "It took about
five minutes, I imagine, for the con
nection to be made between San Fran
cisco and New York, and we are told
here that it will take less time within
a few weeks, when the mechanism is in
thoroughly good working order.
"It would be well for. Portland to
be on the lookout for an outbreak in
the Chinese tong war tonight. The
signs are foreboding and the police
here expect to hear it has broken out
in Portland at any time."
While the connection between New
York and San Francisco is not offered

Suggest Battleship Oregon Trip.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Secretary
of the Navy Daniels today declined to
grant permission to W. T. Reeves, of
Echo, to- make a trip on the battle
ship Oregon through tne Panama
Canal, and thence to San Francisco.
Mr. Reeves asked this Drivllege, say
ing he originated the idea of having
the Oregon lead the naval procession
through the canal on the occasion of
its formal opening.
Secretary Daniels says that at least
12 persons to his knowledge make the
same assertion- and as he has no way
of determining to whom the credit be
longs, and as there is not accommoda
tion aboard for all who claim the
credit, he must treat all alike and
deny all this privilege. .

Examination Into Sanity Is
etitioned of Supreme Court.
BAIL IS NOT YET OFFERED
Attorney for Stanford White's Slayer
Says Nothing Is to Be Done to
Delay Justice and Prisoner
Is Returned to Tombs.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25. Harry K.
Thaw wll be arraigned in Supreme
Court here Wednesday to answer to
charges of conspiring ti escape from
Matteawan asylum, where he was
confined following the killing of
Stanford White. ' .
On the day of arraignment Justice
Davis will decide a motion by counsel
for defense that Thaw be sent to Bel
levue Hospital so it might be de
termined whether or not he were
insane. -
No attempt was made to have the
prisoner released on bail and r Thaw
was remanded to the Tombs.
Thaw appeared in court accompanied
by two prison wardens. John B.
Stanchfield in announcing that he did
not expect to apply for bail for Thaw,
said that it was his intention not to
hamper the course of justice or place
any obstacles in the path of the law.
Pleading on his motion to have his
client committed to Bellevue, he said
an act of the Legislature passed in
1910 regulated cases such as that of
Thaw by decreeing that in the case of
a person charged with a crime for
which the maximum punishment is
$500, or a year in jail, and found ap
parently to be insane, the judge must
send him to Bellevue, where be must
be examined. If he is found sane he
must be returned to the jurisdiction
of the state and the trial must be
resumed.
William Travers Jerome's rejoinder,
as representative of the state was
that there are but two ways by which
Thaw may get out of Matteawan. One
Is for the superintendent of the in
stitution to certify before a Justice of
the Supreme Court that Thaw is sane
and the second is by suing out a
writ of habeas corpus.
