V Conference Is to Develop Foreign Commerce. CHICAOO, July 19. Governmental regulation of competition, as opposed to the Government's activity against trusts and monopolies, is a necessity, according to representatives of the lumber industry, who presented for mal statements describing- preaent con ditions in their trade at a conference held here today between the Federal Trade Commission and a committee representing the National Lumber Man ufacturers' Association. Overproduction, uncontrolled price cutting and other ruinous competitive practices were blamed by R. H. Down man, of New Orleans, president of the association, for the present situation in the lumber industry. Situation Declared Bad. He described the situation as being one of demoralization for the last eight 'years, including at this time a condi tion of actual loss and a shameful waste of forest resources in the face of the necessity of providing employ ment for 695.000 men, on whom are dependent 3.475,000 persons. C. H. Worchester, chairman of the Northern Hemlock and Hardwood Man ufacturers' Association, gave the com mission a statement of the conditions of the industry which he represents. He said that overproduction had re sulted in demoralization. "The remedy Is easy, and It is spelled co-operation." " How a falling off In the cypress lum ber industry was ameliorated by an advertising campaign, setting forth the uses of this kind of lumber, was re lated to the commission by George B. Watson, secretary of the Southern Cy press Manufacturers' Association. Advertising Saved Trade. Mr. Watson said that from 1908 to 1913 there had been an increase in the production of cypress lumber of about 47 per cent. Just before this period, he said, a decline in the sales of cy press set in, and demoralization was threatened. A campaign of advertising to educate the public to demand cypress had been carried on, with the result that this wood probably had suffered smaller decline in volume of business and prices than had other wood, he said. The hearings are a part of a Nation wide series arranged toward develop ing America's foreign commerce. Later sessions will be held in many of the large cities west to the Pacific Coast. In outlining the purposes of the hear ing, Edward N. Hurley, of Chicago, vice-chairman of the commission, said: "In the Judgment of the best busi ness brains of this country, there never has been so favorable an opportunity lor American commerce to seek and find foreign markets for its products as at this Juncture."

In 1776. the women bad gone around sinslng a. sonsr like. ! Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier.' " Judge Henry E. McGinn went to Seat tle at the Colonel's invitation and rode with him to Portland, and. although he was m repeated conferences with Pro gressive leaders of both Oregon and Washington yesterday, the Colonel was ready to talk about almost everything excepting politics. Seattle Dispatch Denied. His comment on the Presidential situation are summed up in the declara tion made repeatedly through the dav: "If you tell me what 1916 will bring forth I'll tell you precisely what I'll do in lSlf." Well, Colonel, hasn't anyone told von what 1816 is going to bring forth V suggested one of his hearers. "No. I haven't met the seventh son of a seventh son who can prophecy whafs going to happan." At Vancouver Colonel Roosevelt saw a' copy of a Portland evening paper bearing a story from Seattle in which tha Colonel was purported to have said that. In the event the Republicans nom inate Justice Hughes for the Presi dency, the Progressives could consist ently support him. and that. Inasmuch as it would take at least 12 years for tha Progressives to wr success any way. It would bo necessary, probably, for tha new party to ally itself with the Republicans. "That's absolutely falsa!" ho shouted with emphasis, as he cast the paper ruthlessly into a Pullman car seat be side him. "I never said anything of the kind: It's utterly false! You will notice that no-on stands responsible for the statement. It doesn't pretend to quote me directly, and It doesn't give the source of its authority. They didn't nang the story onto anyone, as you newspaper boys say. "And I want to say right here, when i . iiaiM.ii i any time I have any statement to make about politics or about anything else 1 will make it over my own signature. I always have been able to speak for myself and I believe I am yet. "If you hear any man who claims to give utterance to my views you will know absolutely that he Is inventing what he says or Is misrepresenting what has been said." Several names were mentioned to him as Presidential possibilities Republi cans. Progressives and Democrats. Political Topics Avoided. "Now, boys, you can't get me to say anything about anyone who may be a candidate for President," he protested, raising his hand deprecattngly and flashing his teeth in a smile. "I have not discussed and shall not discuss the claims of any man' to be President, nor shall I treat any roan as a candidate until I consider that he is a candidate." "Well, how about Judge McGinn?" asked Colonel Callahan, slyly. "Of course, If Judge McGinn runs for anything, I don't care what it Is, I'm for him! he exclaimed, and Joined in the laughter with the others. Further than that the Colonel bad little to say on public questions. He admired Mount Hood, was "dee-lighted" with the climate and Indorsed the "See America First" movement. "This country out here west of the Rockies really is Just beginning to get its due recognition from the traveler." he commented. "You ought to stay longer," Ms friends urged. "I know, but I have important busi ness back home you know I am a grandfather." "Well, well!" he exclaimed, as he greeted ex-Governor Geer. - "You were Governor hero while I waa Governor In New York." He leaned over to whisper to one man, who thought ho intended to kiss him. The crowd laughed. "That man's from Arlaona and I had a secret to tell him." he explained. "He fought In the war." Dan Kellahrr Is Welcomed. "You know my views on tho baby question," he told a woman who crowd ed forward with an Infant in her arms. "You don't need to Introduce me to Dan," he shouted, slapping Dan Kella her on the back. "Where's Charlie Ackerson?" he In quired, and presently that well-known x-Progressive stepped forward. The Colonel held a few minutes' whispered conversation with Mr. Ackerson. The -Colonel broke short his hand shaking performance to go into his compartment to speak for a few min utes with Bishop Sumner. Before he went he was besieged by the photographers. "Hurry up, boys." he pleaded. "I don't believe I look any different than I did the last 1800 times I was photo graphed." No. the Colonel doesn't look much different. He has a few streaks of gray In his hair and the lines in his face are somewhat deeper. But he has a good, healthy color, alloyed by a fine coat of Summer tan. His voice Is strong, but sometimes breaks. He wears the low. turn-down collar and black four-in-hand tie on a stiff white shirt bosom, and the same kind of bar rel cuffs that always have character ized him. Yesterday he wore a dark gray suit woven Into delicate stripes and a black broad-brimmed hat. .1 - - - - ' . i . , r. - 1 - - : ;r . , , x ,,... jf - I I'm SantUeptlc After Shaving.

Brief Talk Given at Taeesna. When not busy conferring with Pro gresaive leaders and greeting admirers he was diligently engaged in bis drawing-room on tha bbasta Limited preparing manuscripts for magaxine stories and books that he now Is writ ing. The first big crowd to greet him was at Tacoma. Tbe Colonel came out on the rear platform of the train and de livered a brief address. Another crowd was out at Tenlno. Ha snoka to a few hundred people at Centralis and came to the steps of his car at Cheiialls. At Winlock one of the crowd sent in his card. The man was I.

"Better get those children away from there." he advised tho brakeman. Another large crowd had gathered at natama. out tna car in which tne j nooseveit party was traveling stoppea far up tha track. Before the people could get back that far the train had started. A group of Spanish-American War veterans headed a large delegation at Vancouver. The veterans carried the flag that they had used in the Philip pine campaign. It was borne by Glen N. Itanck, a former sergeant of Com pany Ci. First Washington Voluntears. "By tieorge. I'm glad to see you!" he exclaimed, as ha shook hands with Mr. Itanrk. "What regiment were you In?" he asked of another man. "Second Oregon." Polltlm Kept Oat of niaenulona. "Indeed! Say, that's fine. Wa need more of you fellows." Then he stepped back on the plat form and viewed tha surrounding land scape. "I must say that you have fine crops In Washington and Oregon. But the best crop is your babies, and' I see you have a lot of them." Just then ha spied an elderly man at tha edge of the crowd holding a small child in his arms. "Is It your grandchild?" he shouted out. The man nodded affirmatively. "Bully for you! You're in my class. I'm a grandfather, and you bet there's nothing better." The child's father filed past and shook hands. Ha said his name was Denny. A group of Portland Progressives, headed by Colonel Kmmett Calahan. boarded tha train at Vancouver. The Colonel talked and Joked with them but did not attempt to discuss politics. Judge Mrtilia Is Praised. Judge Henry E. McGinn had gone to Seattle the night before at Colonel Roosevelt's Invitation, and traveled to Portland with him. Dr. Henry Waldo Coo. Progressiva National committee man, boarded tha train at Chehalis. Tha two conferred with the Colonel at various times, but agreed that nothing important, politically, had developed. Colonel Roosevelt evidently is fund of Judge McGinn. "He certainly Is a cltlsen of whom you people In Oregon can ba proud." he earnestly confided to a number of Port land men. "They don't make them any better than Judge McGinn." "Now. there Is something that I call fine." he burst out as he caught a glimpse of Mount Hood from the train. "Ah." he ejaculated, pointing to a familiar object In the harbor. "That's the cruiser Boston." someone volunteered. "And so It Is. Dewey had her at Manila." "Splendid." he commented when told that she now Is being used as a train ing ship for the Naval Militia. He recalled Jokingly a previous visit to Portland when someone uncaged a pair of playful cub bears at the ban quet table where he was the guest of honor. Just then the train came to a stop and a committee of Progressives boarded the steps to greet htm. Greeting Given BUhen Snnaner. At once he spied Bishop Sumner and rushed up with both hands out stretched. "This certainly is a pleasure." he ex claimed warmly. Colonel Roosevelt and tha bishop are old-time friends. The Colonel had telegraphed to the bishop to meet him. Biehop Sumner Introduced Archdeacon Chambers. "Go right on In and see Mrs. Roose velt." he urged to the ecclesiastical pair as the crowd surged around. Mrs. T. B. Neuhausen. with a mag nificent bunch of red roses, was the first woman to shake hla hand. "Isn't that bully!" he gasped, taking the proffered flowers. J. W. Brewer came with two big bouquets and the greetings of the Port land Chamber of Commerce. Afterwards the Colonel singled Mr. Brewer out in the crowd and thanked him earnestly. "Sorry you couldn't stay longer." said Mr. Brewer. "Well. If I stopped any place, I'd have to stop every place, and a man who has grandchildren doesn't want to stay away from home too long." Crowds Caeer es-Preeldent. The Colonel seems to be particularly proud of his grandfatherhood, as he refers to it at every opportunity. "Don't you remember me?" burst out an enthusiastic woman. "I Intro-1 duced you at Wyncoop. Kan, In. 1904." "And so you did." was the response, "I didn't recognise you at first." The crowd was so big that tho ex Presldent was rushed to the bark end of the train. A mighty cheer went up as he mounted the platform. "My friends." ha said, "I hope It Is not necessary for me to say how much pleasure it gives me to bo here. You people of Oregon always have been kind to roe. I have laarned a great deal of what you have done and have tried to act as missionary for Oregon's ideas in some of tha other states." Ho then warned the people not to believe any statement purporting to represent his views If not expressly stipulated that be bad authorised the statement. "You can brand such stories as amusing fairy tales." he asserted, thrusting out his ample Jaw. Cheery Word Given Everyone. "I'ntil I authorise a declaration of my views there Is no use guessing on the strength of what someone else has heard from someone who claims to represent me." The crowd clamored forward and the Colonel urged the people to pass In Mlnale file so that he could shake hands with us many as possible In the brief titn that remained.

President Wilson and Secretary Lansing prepared today the draft of a note on submarine warfare to be submitted to tha Cabinet tomorrow and to be sent to Germany probably before the end of the week. Beyond the fact that the position al ready taken by the United States in its previous note will be reiterated, no in formation was forthcoming at either the White House or State Department concerning the probable contents of the new note. The President cautioned those with whom he counclled to refrain from dis cussing the note in advance of Its dis patch to Germany, and White House officials particularly required the cor respondent to avoid speculations In de tail at this time because the character of the document had not been finally determined. The note will be comparatively brlof. excepting the conclusions of this Gov ernment as a result of Germany's fail ure to give the assurances asked for previous notes namely, that the lives of Americans traveling on the high seas bound on lawful errands abroad tin resisting and unarmed merchantmen be not endangered.
