' Adequate preparation for National
Cefense both on land and on the high
seas a naval auxiliary consisting; of
merchant vessels and a merchant ma
rina operated either directly or indi
rectly by the Federal Government
these were the principles advocated
by William G. 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."

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.

DANGER TO WATER FOUND
Contamination Threatened by Pri

Investigation which has revealed the
fact that Bull Run water In trunk

The Bull Run mains are attached
to the private mains and the water
