ARBITRATION IS URGED Capitol here anxiously awaited the out come. "My God. I am glad!" paid the Gov ernor. "That was a fiffht. I have never had a fight like that in my life." The Governor announced, however, that he was not in at-cord with the stucrcretion of the Board of I'ardons and Paroles to scatter the executions. "If they have to occur. I want them to be all at the same time, so we can eet over with it." he declared. This was taken to mean that Gov ernor Hunt still adhered to the belief that if lives have to be given up, a "horror" would be best to swing sen timent finally against capital punish ment, which was approved in the last election, when a plurality vote de prived the Governor of his pardoning and reprieving power and vested them in the BoarJ of Pardon.s and Paroles. Under the law. as it now stands, the Governor can grant reprieves only on recommendation of the Board, and. gov erned by this, he formally reprieved the five prisoners until July 30. 1915.

Another tep toward the improvement of busi ness and financial relations between the Americas was taken at the pan American financial conference today when delegates from the southern re publics unanimously approved a resolu tion, calling on the business and com mercial interests of the United States to unite within the next six months in naming a delegation to visit all the Central and South American countries. -Members of, this delegation. the resolution pr"M jo.seri. shall be the guests of the various nations arwl be received by the governments, by chambers of commerce and industrial organizations. liplomatic representatives of tha Southern republics accredited to the I'nited .states will be asked to aid in formulating plans for the trip. High Joint CumnilHKloa Froi'OKed. Adoption of the resolution and a re port from the committee on uniform laws for all American nations marked today's general session. The committee n uniform laws suggested a high, com mission of nine members from each country to consider uniformity in stat utes relating to many subjects which vitally concern business and commercial intercourse between the republics. Representative Flood, chairman of the House committee on foreign affairs, and Secretary Garrison, of the War I'epa rtment, were two of the speakers of the day. "I believe that the Congress of the United States." said .Mr. Flood, "will do all in its power to carry out the re sults of the deliberations of this con ference.

The report declares that adoption of a code for Hie settlement of such differences can be relief on to advance develepment of trade relations and advocates uni 1 formity of laws to bring about this end. In view of the Tact that legislation would mean delay, the report suggests that steps be taken to have the bust ness organizations interested establish such a system at once without waiting for legal support. It was announced that arrangements had been made for the appointment of a Joint committee representing Argentina and the United States Chamber of Commerce to work out details of a coda.

American foodstuffs exports amounted to almost 100,000.000 more during the 10 months ended with April this year than during that period in the previous year. An analysis of that class of exports an nounced today by the Department of Commerce shows their value to have been $657,146,200. The huge increase has been due chiefly to the Kuropean war. The fig ures do not include statistics of manu factures and manufacturing materials, exports of which also have vastly In creased. Raw cotton exports during the period decreased $236,000,000 and mineral oils $19,000,000. Some idea of the demands on the Vnited States for foodstuffs' Is shown by the valuations of the articles ex ported during the 10 months: Forty million bushels of corn, valued at $:i 1.000. 000. an increase of almost $26,000,000; almost $.'4,000,000 worth of oats; wheat valued at $296,981,000; flour. $77,869,016; canned beef $9,473,376; fresh beef. $12,862,000; pickled beef, $2. 309,000; oleo oil. $7,744,000; cottonseed oil. $17.S4l,000; bacon. $36,714,000; hama and shoulders. $20,265,000; lard, $46. tS6.000: neutral lard. $2,720,000: pickled pork. $ 1,04 7,uvj; lard compounds. $4,-792.000. SAN FRANCISCO. May 28. Mrs. Har riet Boyce, wife of John J. Boyce, an ex-State Senator and lawyer of Cali fornia, and her daughter. Miss Mat guerittf Boyce, have been arrested in Bavaria on a charge of insulting Ger man officers who examined their bag gage, according to cablegrams received by relatives here. The messages said the women were sentenced to three weeks' Imprisonment at Lindau. but were set at liberty under a bond of $5000 furnishd by the United states consul at Munich until a leci sion is made in answer to a memoran dum sent to the German Foreign Office in Berlin by Ambassador Gerard. Mrs. Boyce is reported to have ex plained that no insult was intended and that if she were misunderstood it was because she was not familiar with the German language. F. Harmon McConnel1. a son liviiy here, has asked United States Senator rhelan, of California, to appeal to secretary or state .Bryan to make a protest against the arrest While Mrs. Boyce and her daughter have been traveling in Kurope several years, Mr. Boyce has been living at Almond Acres, l olo County. BRYAN'S PLEA IS HEEDED 't 'Iniif-r! Krn KirFt I'm;. morninc-. This resolution declared -that, as the Secretary of State had seen fit to recommend reprieves, jn view of the possible effect of the executions on American interests in Northern Mex ico, the Board had concluded to rec ommend delay, "out of respect due .Mr. Bryan's high and responsible of fice."

Announcement or the decision came Just after Tucson had reported that Judge Sawtellc. sitting in the United States District Court here, had declined to grant, writs of habeas corpus in be half of tho condemned men. Attorneys for an anti-capital punishment society had ridden all night in an automobile from the Florence prison to Tucson to ii 1 e the habeas corpus applications. These were considered the last chance. as the Board of I'ardons and Paroles had previously declined to Interfere with the executions. II. B.

Giving; Warning of Proponed AI4aeka. LONDON, May 2S. The inference that the German-Turkish alliance pro poses to begin a submarine warfare against vessels leaving the Suez Canal has been drawn lrom a note recently issued by the Turkish government. Such a policy, it is ' felt here, might seriously menace marine communica tion between Europe and the Far Kast A message to the Reuter Telegram Company from Constantinople says the note in question, which Is addressed to friendly neutral powers, reads: The Imperial Ottoman government, considering that the British govern ment has not f u I f i I ltd its obligations to neutral powers by the convention of 18S8 to keep no warships in the Suez Canal, but Is even now fortifying this canal, and that the French government wun hostile intent against the otto man Kmpire, has landed troops 4n Egypt, has by these facts been placed under the necessity of tnking military measures for the protection of its im perial territory, of which Egypt forms part, and to extend hostilities to the Suez Canal." Edgar II. Sensenich, of Portland, Declares VseTuIncss Has Been Demonstrated South Amer ican Trade Is Discussed. SAN FRANCISCO, May 28. Religious faith was commended as an asset and the Federal Reserve system was praised by Edgar H. Sensenich, cashier of the Northwestern National Bank, of Port land. Or., in an address of discussion and advice before the Joint convention of the Oregon, California, Idaho and Nevada State Bankers' Associations to day. "There is no intention to take issue with the unbeliever," Mr. Sensenich said, "but It is my opinion that weak ness in religious belief tends to weak ness in character and must be consid ered wherever character is a factor, as it Is in credit. Heligious faith is not confined to church members, and with regret it must be admitted that in our dav church membership is no guaranty of "moral strength. Too frequently the cloak of religion covers the hide of a scoundrel. Be careful of the man wno joins your church today and makes a bid for your money tomorrow. Reserve System Pralaed. In telling of the benefits already de rived from the Federal Reserve sys tem. Mr. Sensenich said: How can we measure or place a value on the confidence instilled in the hearts of the people and the bankers themselves by the knowledge mat me Federal Reserve system is prepared to protect the reserves or the country ana provide practically unlimited credit if needed. I l-.ave no patience with any one who calls the new banking system a failure. Immediately after tne passage oi the Federal reserve act its miiuence for good began to be ten ana in uie unsettled conditions following the out break of the war in Europe its use fulness was demonstrated. Everyone will concede that clearing-house cer tificates and emergency currency have been of creat aid since July or last year, but how can we measure or place a value on the confidence installed in the hearts of the people and the bank ers themselves by the knowledge that the Federal reserve system is preparea to protect the reserve of the country nd provide practically unnmitea crean if needed. Who doubts tne especial value of that confidence in the trying time following the recent great tragedy on the sea?" Transportation Ktrnt Need. Horacio Anasagastl. Commissioner- General for Argentina to the l'anama- Pacitic Exposition, scheduled for an au- JreSS On MIOri LUIS io viuari 'cm-i - tions, ' was unable to be present, out B sent a paper wnicn was reaa oy m secretary. Senor Anasagasti took the stand that to bring about closer com-j mercial relations between the United States and the republics of South Amer- ica, sure and rapid transnoriaiiun m necessary and that the means of secur ing this is the problem of the present moment. "American capitalists." his paper read, "should build a merchant fleet to increase trade with all South America. Arrangements and contracts should be made with the different countries in order to guarantee the commercial ex change, giving facilities and providing for advantages to both sides. "You should establish banking facili ties and create shipping companies, and you will soon see fulfilled the patriotic wish of the United States of increasing its trade with the rich and prosperous republics of South America." Mrrrhunt Marine lndoraed. The California association went on record, at its closing session, in favor of an American merchant marine. The associations from the other states joined the California body in adoption of a resolution condemning laws of certain Eastern states which force their banks to discriminate against Western farm mortgages.
