Neither th President nor Secretary
Lanslna; waa Inclined to view the situ

tionary measures than have been taken
In sending; battleships to Mexican
waters and more Federal troops to the
Texas border. They devoted most of
their time to a discussion of the inter

ef which a peace conference might be

Indications ar that both th Villa
ad Zapata elementa ar preparing to
receiv favorably th appeal of th
failed Stta and the Latin-American
republics. They already ar planning a
yeac conference.
Os-ttaaUae Is M Changed.
Th appeal signed by th American
diplomat In New Tork yesterday la

Carranza's diepteasur over th effort
ef the Latin-American countrlea I

ALBANY, X. T Aug. . Willam
Barnes. Jr.. today warned the constitu
tional convention, now in session here,
that If a stop were not put to what
he termed "socialistic' or class legisla
tion, there would be established In this
country an autocratic state similar to
that of Germany, "denying utterly the
American theory of equality."
Incidentally, th Republican leader
compared Theodore Roosevelt to Bis
marck and asserted that the Progres
sive party had inaugurated and waa
advocating the identical policy which
had caused the Socialist party In Ger
many to become the largest single
group in the Reichstag.
Mr. Barnes- warning and attack on
the Progressives was contained Jn ' a
speech urging the convention to adopt
his amendment prohibiting the Legisla

age pensions or similar laws.

Mr. Schurman professed to see 'dy

The defense In the United States
Cashier Company trial, which has now
been In session for 26 days before
a jury In Federal Judge Bean's Court,
came to a sudden halt yesterday after
noon. Just after the cross-examination and
redirect examination of Frank Mene
fee. president of the company, had
been concluded, and after lawyers for
five of the other six defendants had
asked him a few questions, attorneys
for all seven defendants announcsd that
they rested their cases.
This strategic move took the whole
courtroom by surprise. Even Judge
Bean looked a bit mystified. Everyone
had expected the defense to continue
probably for another week, at least.

o'clock this morning. He said ho ex

until next Monday at 2 o'clock.

Following this, unless the motions

REDDING. CsX. Aug. 12. (Special.)
The names of 380,000 tipplers in Ore

and arranged in an alphabetical Index
by a mall order liquor bouse that Is
preparing to open for business In Horn
brook, the California town nearest to
the Oregon-California line. Oregon and

The enterprising dealer in Hornbrook
who proposes to shoot alcohol across
the state line into Oregon and Wash

long and 80 feet wide, in which he will
store his alcoholic beverages.
. A fireproof, burglar-proof safe has
been built. In which are kept the naraqs
and addresses of the 380,000 tipplers of
Oregon and Washington, who. It seems,
will be likely purchasers. '
The value of town lots in Hornbrook
has advanced SO per cent the last three

realized the geographical advantage
they have in dealing with "booze ship

Germany stipulated some time ago
that . any such shipment must go

COLUMBIA HIGHWAY
TO SEA CHRISTENED
Governor Leads Auto
Party Over Road.
TOWNS UN ROUTE CELEBRATE
From Inland Empire to Ocean
Is Slogan on Trip.
IMPORTANCE IS REALIZED
Julius L. Meier, S. Benson and
Many Other Prominent Men Take
Fart in Dedication and Fes
tivities at Gearhart.
BY SHAD O. KRANTZ.
GEARHART, Or., Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) "From the Inland Empire to th
Sea" became a reality today so far as
highway travel is concerned. A bat
tery of more than 40 automobiles trav
eled over the newly completed Co
lumbia River Highway from Portland
to Gearhart and made the distance of
12S miles In less than seven hours'
running time.
The Columbia River Highway be
tween Portland and the eea thus was
officially christened. The highway
east of Portland into the Inland Em
pire already had been opened, so to
day's performance served to complete
the connection between the Inland Em
pire and the sea.
Banners bearing the appropriate le
gend "From the Inland Empire to the
Sea" were borne on every one of the
long line of automobiles that made the
trip out of Fortland this morning. They
were intended to impress on the people
along the route the important part that
the new avenue of travel will play In
their, future development, if indeed
the people were not already, impressed
with it.
Importance Is Realised.
To those who made the trip, however,
it was apparent that the people of
Western Multnomah, Columbia and
Northern Clatsop counties fully realize
the importance of the new road. Every
city, every village and every hamlet
was in gala dress for the occasion. Peo
ple gathered from the countryside for
many miles around to do the occasion
honor. The small settlements were
decorated with bunting and American
flags, and cheering "Welcome" signs
were stretched across the road to greet
the travelers.
All the municipalities along the lower
river declared a holiday. The populace
everywhere knocked off work for th
day and Joined in the spirit of celebra
tion. At St. Helens, Clatskanle and
Rainier formal . exercises were con
ducted In honor of the highway's chris
tening. At Gearhart the festivities con
tinued far into the night.
Roads Value Is Seen.
The Portland folks who made the
trip, if they were not convinced before
they started, became convinced today
that the Columbia River Highway Justi
fies the time, the money and the effort
expended in its construction.
"If seeing is believing," said Julius
L. Meier, president of the Highway As
sociation, "I am convinced that every
ono who was in this party today be
lieves that the Columbia River High
way will serve a valuable purpose, not
only to the country that it touches di
rectly, but to the whole state as well
"It not only affords Portland an easy
overland route to the ocean, but It an
swers an even more worthy purpose,
it redeems thousands upon thousands
of fertile acres to development that
heretofore have been neglected on ac
count of the lack of proper transpor
tation facilities. It opens some more
of God's own country for settlement."
Congratulations Expressed.
Mr. Meier, as head of the associa
tion that first advocated the new road,
congratulated those who have been in
strumental in the work of building it.
Mr. Meier's own machine, which he
drove and which carried Governor
Withycombe and Senator Chamberlain,
was the first to leave the Benson Ho
tel. It was precisely 7:30 o'clock. This
car kept the lead nearly all the way
and arrived in front of the Gearhart
Hotel this afternoon at exactly 4:30
o'clock. Just nine hours out of Port
land. But time allowance must be made
for more than an hour devoted to tho
lunch and an informal reception at
Clatskanle, about 15 minutes for the
reception at St. Helens, a similar length
of time for other brief stops, and about
15 minutes for a delay due to the car
sticking in the sand at Columbia Beach,
an aggregate of about two hours of
elapsed time, or a net running time of
seven hours for the entire trip.
Detoar Consumes Time.
A long detour through the forests
and over some steep grades between
Rainier and Clatskanle also consumed
about an hour. As soon as some
bridges now being built across Beaver
Creek are completed this detour will
be unnecessary, and the running time
between Portland and the sea can be
reduced to six hours, and no great ex
ertion will be required at that.
Aside from the mishap on Columbia
Beach, the progress of the trip was not
marred by any unnatural incidents,
and this delay was by no means
serious. All hands got. out and helped
to lift the machine back onto tho
planking The last 11 miles of the trip
was made over the beach sands and
