POPULATION IS BAREFOOT
Cities Are Dark at Sunset, for Oil
Importations Are Forbidden and
Food Is Short Talks Are
to Be Made Here.
There are no "bright lights" in Pal
estine now. And there is a reason, ac
cording to Dr. Ben Zion Mossinsohn,
founder and liead of the Hebrew gym
nasium at Jaffa, Palestine, and an in
ternational figure in Jewish and Zionist
affairs, who, on his arrival in Portland
last night, said that the British and
I'rench blockade of the coast of the
Turkish Empire had put a stop to the
Importation of oil. with the result that
there is practically no artificial light
to be had. This, he said, has been the
case for the past two years.
Dr. Mossinsohn, who is touring the
country under the auspices of the pro
visional executive committee of the
Zionist movement and in the interest
of the suffering Jews of Palestine, ar
rived from Seattle. He will be in Port
land until Monday, delivering a ntmber
of addresses.
People Are Barefoot.
Dr. Mossinsohn said that the war had
put a stop to the growing progress of
the Jews in Palestine and had resulted
in intense suffering. He said that the
blockade had prevented Importation of
leather, with the result that the ma
jority of the people were barefoot.
"Flour is now a quarter a pound In
Palestine, and a quarter there is equal
to more than a dollar here, he said.
"Sugar and rice and many other neces
sities are also not to be had." .
Dr. Mossinsohn said that the priva
tion had resulted in increased sickness,
and there were no medicines or phy
sicians to combat disease.
After passing 10 years of his life in
Palestine building up the educational
work there. Dr. Mossinsohn was ex
pelled from the country, along with nu
merous others, by an uprising of the
Young Turks party. He has been in the
United States now nine months.
Committee "Welcome Lecturer.

Bank depot by a committee consisting
of D. Solis Cohen, David N. Mosessohn,

GOOD ROAD VALUE PUT HIGH
Improved Highways Declared Better
Than Tap Line Railways.
U-ASHINGTOM. Dec. 14 The eco
nomic value of good roads was empha
sized today by speakers before the an'
nual convention of the American Civic
Association. Herbert Quick, of the
Federal Farm Loan Board, explaining
the relation between improved high
ways and farm land values, said an
efficient system of country roads was
cheaper and more valuable to the
farmer than so-called tap line railroad
tpurs, which could not be constructed
for less than $75,000 a mile, and the
cost of which must be paid by the
communities they serve.
"Good roads have a vital effect on
the value of farm land," said Mr. Quick.
"If our board and country banks are to
lend money on farms tthey must know
the producing value of the mortgage
element, and here is where the value
of good roads becomes manifest.
ESTACADA TAXPAYERS WIN
Residents Pleased With Promise of
Road Improvements.
ESTACADA, Or.. Dec. 14. (Special.)
The taxpayers of Eastern Clackamas
County are congratulating themselves
on the results of their concentrated
and united action at the annual county
budget meeting in Oregon City last
Saturday. i
A delegation of more than 50 farmers
were in attendance, and, with thei
spokesman, W. Givens. of Estacada,
succeeded in defeating the SS00O ap
propriation for an armory at Oregon
City; effected an increase in the levy
for road-building, and generally ob
tained the promise of more aid in the
building of highways in the eastern
end ot. the county.
COLD WAVE KILLS 3
MIDDLE WEST SHIVERING
Southern States Experience Freezing
Temperatures and' Many Homes
Have No Heating Facilities.
Relief "Promisee! Today.
CHICAGO, Dec. 14. (Special.) A
cold wave sent the temnerature down
below zero at many Middle "Western
points today, multiplied suffering of
Chicago's poor unprepared for the sud
den change and caused the death of
Charles Nelson, a night watchman, who
was burned to death while seeking re
lief from the cold.
Two persons were frozen to death in
Minnesota.
Park Falls, "Wis., was wiped out by
flro while its citizens in night clothes
battled with temperature 10 below
zero.
Nelson was trapped In a room over
the engine-house of the Illinois Brick
Company's plant at Stephenson avenue
and One Hundred, and Nineteenth
streets.
The Weather Bureau promised relief
tomorrow. The mercury went down to
5 above zero here today.
The temperature was b above zero to
night, with prospects of zero or lower
by morning. Although the official fig
ure was 5 above, several of the suburbs
reported zero and under this morning.
Parts of Northern Michigan, where
heavy snow has banked the ground
since late September, the temperature
sank to 24 below zero. All the small
chains of lakes are already frozen,
practically solid.
The South is especially cold, some of
the cotton states showing below freez
ing, and down to 16 above zero, which
means much suffering in flimsy houses
with no adequate means of keeping
warm. "Cities throughout Iowa and Min
nesota today report the coldest weather
of the Winter.
At Des Moines. Ia., the temperature
early today registered 7 degrees below
zero. At Keokuk it was at zero and at
Charles City 14 below. At Duluth. Minn,.
the mercury dropped to 15 degrees be
low zero during the night and regis
tered 12 below, unofficially at 9 o'clock.
In Detroit the temperature was 8 de
grees above zero at 8 o'clock. At Clin
ton. Ia., a temperature "of 1 degree
above zero was quoted, at Davenport
2 above. Burlington 4 below. Blooming
ton 7 above, Springfield 8 above. Dan

Quincy zero.

Again Mr. Hastings was interrupted.
From every part of ther theater came
calls and shouts of reassurance.
"We don't want pensions." cried one
grizzled veteran. "We want work."
Among the men in the audience was
E. E. Barclay, a university graduate
and a former high employe of the
Gould system of railways. His present
income is $12 a week. He works in
the shipping room of a Chicago depart
ment store.
He was brought to this state, it
seems, not through any waning of
ability for he stoutly declares he is
now at the apex of his powers but
solely because he passed his 45th year.
some 12 years ago.
E. M. Showers, of the Merchants'
Lighterage Company, offered to employ
100 old men, in addition to the 200 al
ready supplied to his firm through the
committee on unemployment.
"If the men in this audience," said
he, "want to go to work today, I'll
give them employment as fast as they
enter my office, and as long as the
available positions last."
E. A. Hamlll, of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railway, expressed a like
satisfaction with the men sent to work
in the railroad shops, and said he want
ed 150 more in a hurry.
- "My experience with men of 60," he
said, proves that they not only make
ample money for themselves, but that
they can also make money for me."

Safe Conduct Will Not Be Given, How

dent Will Be Avoided.
WASHINGTON, Dec 14. "While it is
practically settled that no safe conduct
will be issued by the entente allied
governments to Count Tarnowski. the
newly appointed Ambassador from Aus
tria. It is also confidently expected
that he will be permitted to pass
through the blockade lines, like any
other civilian passenger, on the Dan

from Copenhagen for New Tork next
Saturday.
In this way will be avoided an em
barrassing precedent and debate that
might be critical In the parliaments o

The decision not to issue formal safe
conduct for Count Tarnowski will leave

Turkish government has for some time
been seeking to dispatch to Washing
