McAdoo. Secretary of the Treasury, on his visit to Port land yesterday. Mr. McAdoo declared that the Wil son Administration will renew its fight for the ship purchase bill as soon as Congress reconvenes in December, and sounded the death knell so far as this Administration is concerned of any ship subsidy legislation. He took occasion also to approve In vigorous terms the LaFollette sea men's bill and implied by his utter ances that the Pacific Mail and other steamship companies that have with drawn their vessels from service on the ground that the seamen's bill pre cluded tha possibility of their operat ing at a profit, were not acting in good faith. Limber Duty to Be Considered In response to inquiries regarding the proposal that the duty on lumber be restored in an effort to assist the lumber industry of Oregon and Wash ington, he promised to give the sub-1 Ject consideration. "I can't give full consideration to these revenue problems until I get the estimates of expenditures for the va rious departments," he explained. "I expect to get them as soon as I return to Washington." Secretary McAdoo, accompanied by Mrs. McAdoo, who before their mar riage was Miss Eleanor Randolph AV'il son. daughter of President Wilson, ar rived in Portland yesterday from Ban Francisco Exposition. Byron R. New ton, Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury, with their secretaries and a num ber of stenographers, completed the par(y. Party Walks to Hotel. The visitors were greeted at the Union Station by a reception committee from the Portland Chamber of Com merce and the Portland Clearing house, including J. N. Teal, chairman; A. I Mills. J. C. Ainsworth, C. S., Jack son. E. L. Thompson, John F. Carroll. C. C. Colt, Milton A. Miller, United Ktates Senator Lane. Robert A. Miller, Judge Thomas C. Burke and others. Miss Ruth Teal and Mrs. Harry Lane were among the women there to meet Mr?. McAdoo. The party walked to the Benson Ho tel, where Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo had breakfast. Mrs. McAdoo accompanied Miss Teal on an automobile ride and Jater.wa3 entertained at the Teal home at luncheon. Mrs. A. M. Wilson, whose husband Is a cousin of President Wilson, also was at the s'tation and shared in the honor of entertaining Mrs. McAdoo. On tha way to the hotel from the station Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Newton Btopned at the site for the new Port land Postoffice. They looked at tha Vacant olock with dismay. "There is no reason why the build- Insr should not be well under construe tlon," sighed Mr. McAdoo as he shook his head dejectedly. He blamed the San Francisco archi tect for the delay. The plans have not yet come from the San Francisco office to the supervising architect's office at Washington, he said. Delay Annoys Secretary, 'I am both disappointed and annoyed at the delay," he asserted, "and shall Kive this situation my personal atten tion as s-.on.as I get back to Wash ington. Later in the morning he visited the offices of Milton A. Miller, collector of internal revenues, and Judge Burke, customs collector. Secretary McAdoo's principal public appearance was at the Chamber of Commerce at noon, where he spoke be fore the members' council. E. L. Thompson presided. The great dining- room oi the eighth floor of the build- Ins was more than filled and scores of xnfii and women were turned away A. L. Mills, president of the First National Bank and a personal friend of 3Hr. McAdoo. introduced the Secretary. Mr. Mills fcave sincere praise to Presi dent Wilson for maintaining the peace of the Nation and proposed a toast to "our President' which was drunk Htandlng. and amid tremendous ap plause. He called attention that throughout the length of his service as an adviser of the President. Secretary McAdoo lias given the utmost consideration to the west and the needs of the West, that he has asked Western men, and particularly Portland men, to confer with him on matters pertaining to his department, and that he has acted on the advice of the Portland men. merchant Marine Advocated. Mr. McAdoo spoke briefly of his ad miration for the people of the West, congratulated the women of Oregon "upon their possession of the franchise, and praised the people of Portland for their hospitality and progress. In speaking of National defense, he dwelt particularly on naval prepared ness, not. as he said, because he' con sidered it more Important than mili tary preparedness, but because it re lates more directly to another measure of National legislation a merchant marine, which, he said, could be used as an adequate naval auxiliary. He outlined the plans of the Admin istration for creating a merchant ma rine. An appropriation of $50,000,000 Is required, he said. An adequate merchant marine is ab solutely necessary to hold the trade that this country now is seeking In South America, he added. Ship Subsidies Opposed. Ho expressed his unqualified opposi tion to subsidies on the ground that they are sought only by the big ship ping interests, who want to enlarge their incomes at the expense of the (lovernment, adding that no Democratic President will sign a subsidy bill. In defense of the LaFollette seamen's bill he insisted that it was passed to protect the lives of travelers on the high seas. Of the Pacific Mail line, he said: "When they tell you that they were un able to operate at a profit on account of this bill, I am here to tell you that it isn't so. "You all know how ocean freight rates have advanced since the war. They could operate and operate at a greater profit than ever if they wanted to." Of the defeat of the ship purchase bill. Mr. McAdoo said Tfc nnnonenta of this bill, for want of a better argument, constantly rexer to It as 'socialistic.' Now I am not fraid of that term. I am Retting so now that whenever I hear the cry 'so cialistic' I begin to look for something that is good for the average citizen. "The real issue is that the ship own ers are determined to have a subsidy. 'Well, they might as well cry for the moon as for a subsidy." NOT TRIE BILL, REFOHTED IH CASE OF S. A. KDMV.VDSON.

MM BABY TOPIC Secretary's Wife Anxious to Get Home to Child. TELEGRAMS ARRIVE DAILY Daughter of President Enthusiastic Over Exposition and Wonderful Scenery of Oregon Charm and Personality Visitor's. BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES. No, the McAdoo baby is" not travel ing with her father and mother. She is safe and sound In the White House, but Mrs. McAdoo sets a telegram every day from the dear baby. Of course, the trained nurse who has charge of the little one writes the message, but baby sends it, neverthe less. That was what Mrs. McAdoo told me yesterday; in fact, the baby and Ore gon's wonderful scenery and flowers were the chief topics of conversation. We had a perfectly delightful but short visit, and after it was over and she had said some decidedly Interest ing things. Mrs. McAdoo made me promise not to quote her. Imagine In terviewing a celebrity and not quoting a single word! ' Visitor Found Most Interesting;. Right here and now I want to regis ter a decided protest against the pho tographers who have In the past made pictures of Mrs. McAdoo. They haven't commenced to do her justice. This most interesting and charming young woman daughter of the Presi dent of the United States and wife of the Secretary of the Treasury is much better looking than any camera man so far has made her. In addition to her good looks she nas personality and that rare gift charm. If neither money nor position had been hers by inheritance, she would have made her way, would have been "some body." Maybe she used to appear as the photos depict her, and maybe happi ness and motherhood have made her beautiful that Is possible. in any event, she is fair and lovely. After a glorious ride in the sunshine. Mrs. McAdoo was entertained by Miss Ruth Teal at luncheon at tha Joseph N. Teal residence. For the occasion the honor guest woro a gown of a rich. elusive purple-toned satin the color of dark ripe grapes almost a raisin tint. Mrs. McAdoo's Smile Wins All. Over this was chiffon of the same shade, made very full and banded round with rows of velvet. Fur bordered the hem of the skirt. Silk stockings and trim slippers were of the same color, and neat gold buckles adorned the lat ter. Mrs. McAdoo's hat was a smart white satin model, simple and girlish and becoming. She wore a white fox fur and a corsage of violets and lilies of the valley. Her smile is one of her greatest attractions. It is radiant and cordial and her manner is sincere. When mention was made of the re. turn to the White House in early No vember, Mrs. McAdoo said she was looking forward to the time when she'd be with the baby once more. Everyone in the White House from "Grandfather President Wilson" down adores, that baby. Exposition Arouses Enthusiasm. Being: a President's daughter and the wife of a man of great distinction hasn t spoiled Eleanor Wilson Mc Adoo. She is just a frank, sweet. wholesome American girl and a proud, happy young mother. She is enjoying every minute of the trip, is enthuslas tio over the exposition at San Fran Cisco and over the scenery and climate of the Northwest, but will be glad to be back home with the dearest little mite of humanity her baby girl. ASTORIA RATE CONSIDERED Chamber of Commerce to Discuss Matter This Morning. Preliminary consideration of the resolution of the Realty Board urging a petition to the North Bank officials for terminal rates to Astoria on a par with those granted Puget Sound, was made by the bureau ,of transportation of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday and this bureau s committee will prob ably discuss the matter before the ex ecutive board of the Chamber of Com merce at its meeting this morning. The position of the executive board in the matter will probably be governed largely by the recommendation from the transportation bureau. Although no official action of the transportation bureau was made public yesterday afternoon, it is probable that this bureau will recommend that the ex ecutive committee take no hasty action on the matter, pending further in vestigation and the outcome of the phases of the question that are now under consideration by the Interstate commerce commission.
