OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, May 25. Chairman F C. Har
ley. of the naval base committee, who
returned to Washington todays to re
new his fisht for the passage of the
Hawley-Lane naval base bill, grot a cold
and at the same time hot reception
when he called on Senator Chamberlain
this afternoon. The Senator, in lan
Kuap. 'hat was nothing- if not forceful,
res'" ' (! the charge made by Mr. Harley
In 1 - address to the Chamber of Com
merce that he (Mr. Chamberlain) was
apathetic towards the naval base bill.
Mr. Harley, in language quite as posi
tive, retorted that every assertion he
had made to the Chamber was abso
lutely true and that Senator Chamber
lain had been apathetic, if he under
stood the meaning of the word.
The conference at which Senator
I.ane was an interested onlooker was
somewhat protracted, but before it was
over Senator Chamberlain and Senator
J.ane agreed to arrange a hearing be
fore the Senate naval committee, at
which the Oregon delegate and Mr.
Harley can present arguments in favor
of the naval base bill.
Both Senators Lane and Chamber
lain told Mr. Harley they had arranged
a hearing for him once before, but
when the hearing was scheduled he had
started West. Mr. Harley replied that
he had called on both Senators re
peatedly during his first visit urging
them to get him a hearing and they
had given him nothing but promises
and did not arrange the hearing until
after he had been called from Wash
ington. When the heated discussion
ended, both Senator Chamberlain and
Senator Lane assured Mr. Harley they
would do everything in their power to
secure favorable action this session
on the Columbia River base bill. The
Senators promised to arrange an early
hearing, which they, the House mem
bers and Mr. Harley will attend.
Mr. Harley also called on the three
Oregon Representatives,' who promised
to concentrate their efforts on the na
val base bill.
Representative Hawley, ,fter con
sulting two members of the House na
val committee, said a hearing could not
be had before that committee until the
House passes the naval appropriation
the latter part of next month. He had
assurances that a hearing could be had
soon afterwards.
bright eyes and hustling temperament
to which his body yields readily. He
reaffirmed the claim made by the
Weeks followers that the Massachu
setts man would get 200 votes on the
first ballot, and therefore would lead
the field. The stray follower of Senator
Cummins that one runs across now and
then insists that Moses is out of his
reckoning and that Cummins will be
found to be the leader when the result
of the first ballot is announced. The
Weeks headquarters will not be
opened until Sunday. The first an
nouncement in behalf of Mr. Weeks
was given out today by Mr. Moses,
who said:
"There are a great many elements
which have brought Senator Weeks
prominently to the fore as a Presiden
tial possibility, but foremost of all,
I should say, is the universally high
esteem in which he is held by those
whom he has served in Congress during
the past decade. It is no exaggeration
to say that every member of that body.
Republican, Democratic and Progres
sive, is an admirer of Senator Weeks'
personality and talents, and it is the
good word which they have passed
along throughout the entire country
that has reassured East and West,
North and South alike, that he is a man
among men."

try to win with the New Yorker, will
get into the race Fridav.
Enthusiasm of the candidates for the
highest honor the party has to give
bubbled over, but through it all there
was a clear note of Root sentiment.
Men from the North, the East, the
South and the West who gathered
around headquarters admitted that
there was strong sentiment for the
lormer New York Senator.
Mr. I'epper did not lack company in
the train that brought him to Chicago.
His friends of the enemy forces were
with him. George H. Moses, of New
Hampshire, who will try to lead the
Weeks cause out of the wilderness of
doubt, was one of the Root lieutenants'
traveling companions. Two others
were G. W. Mooney and A. N. Rodway,

Naturally the first question put to
Mr. Pepper concerned itself with the
legitimacy of the Root efforts. Mr.
Tepper said that the movement in be
half of the great New York lawyer is
Dona ride; that it is not a cover for
movement in behalf anybody else
nor is it an attempt to keep
another man from winning the prize
that a third man may land it. On his
way to Chicago Mr. Dwight will stop
off at Clinton, N. Y.. where Mr. Root
makes his Summer residence, there to
gaze on a bed of forget-me-nots
which it is the Root custom to plant
with his own hand "each Spring and
to tend lovingly, especially lovingly
this year, until the blossoms fade.
George H. Moses, of New Hampshire,
lormer .Minister to Greece, had much
to say concerning the certainty of the
nomination of Senator Weeks, of Mas
sachusetts.
Mr. Moses is an energetic man. with

Demonstration of first
Aid to Be Feature.
Many lumber manufacturers and log
gers from Oregon. Washington and
British Columbia are expected to at
tend the meeting of the West Coast
Lumbermen's Association, which will
be held at the Portland Hotel at 1:30
o'clock this afternoon. Karly arrivals
indicated one ot tiie largest gatherings
of manufacturers in recent years. Port
land lumbermen especially have been
active in their invitations to the out-of-town
millmen.
The afternoon's programme includes
a discussion of market conditions,
manufacturing operations, American
lied Cross Society first aid and either
the adoption or rejection of revised
grading rules governing the manufac
ture of fir, cedar, spruce and hemlock '
products. J
Firnt Aid to He Demonstrated.
In addition to marketing and indus
trial problems, the lumbermen today
will see a practical demonstration of
first aid to the injured. This will be
given by lr. W. X. Lipscomb, field
representative of the American Ked
Cross Society. Owing to the large num
ber of injuries and accidents in the
lumber, and logging industry. the
American lied Cross a year ago de
tailed Ur. Lipscomb to Fervice in West
ern Washington. He instructs work
men what to do and what not to do
in case 'of accident, drilling them in
the proper care of the injured pending
the arrival of a physician.
Grading rules to be discussed at this
afternoon's meeting include a rule for
selecting structural timbers according
to strength and fiber density. This rule
has been formulated by the American
Society for Testing Materials.
Market Conditions Improve.
At this time the Oregon and Wash
ington mill men especially are inter
ested in the market outlook. Uuring
the past few months prices have
strengthened materially, though tttill
generally under the lumber market of
1913, which was considered normal.
The cost of manufacturing is said to
have increased about $3 per thousand
feet during the past year, due to ad
vances in labor, equipment, mill sup
plies and logs.
In the face of these conditions the
weekly barometer of the West Coast
Lumbermen's Association shows ship
ments last week slightly less than pro
duction, for the first time this year.
On the other hand, the barometer shows
orders increasing as compared with the
previous week and exceeding produc
tion by nearly 3 per cent.
