Proposal to Defer Enforce
ment of Bone-Dry Postal
Law Finds Favor.
URGENT APPEAL IS MADE
Prohibition Forces Not Averse to
(ranting Time to Readjust Busi
. uess Provided Main Issue.
Is IS'ot Imperiled.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 22. Postpone
ment of . the effective date of the
"bone-dry" prohibition amendment to
tire postoffice bill adopted yesterday
until October 1, 1917. is proposed in a
concurrent resolution Introduced late
today by Representative Moon, of
Tennessee, chairman of the postoffice
committee. Mr. Moon announced he
would press it through as soon as the
postoffice bill Itself is finally disposed
of.
In the course of debate on. the
amendment in the House there were
urgent appeals that time be given
liquor dealers to dispose of stocks. and
readjust their business. Prohibition
leaders turned deaf ears then, fearing
any change in the provision, as it
passed the Senate might mean Its de
feat, but many are disposed to vote
for a postponement once the bill has
been sent to the President for his sig
nature. , Reasonable Time la Asked.
The preamble of Chairman Moon's
resolution says:
"The states which have passed laws
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of liquors and the storing of the same
within their borders have recognized
the fact that such business heretofore
had been legal, and have In view of
this by their enactments given to deal
ers a reasonable time within which to
dispose of their stocks or remove the
same from the state before the coining
effectiveness of such laws. The course
followed In this respect Is clea&ly right
and just, and it would be a manifest
injustice and would work a. great
Jiardship for the Federal Government
to deprive these parties of the rights
guaranteed by the states by immediate
denial of interstate commerce for the
shipment of such liquors, which effect
will, in its present aspect, automatical
ly follow the enactment of the prohi
bition amendment."

beneficiaries under the will of the mer
chant. The millionaire clothier was a widow
er, his wife dying in the Winter of
1918. His own death, at the age of 82,
was reported to be through heart fail
ure. A telegram acquainting him with the
death of Jacob Langendorfer was re
ceived by Charles Langendorfer yes
terday morning. He immediately noti
fied his son, Arthur, and made arrange
ments to leave for New York. Arthur
went post-haste to the barracks to tell
Ills brother of the good fortune fallen
to their lot. and then to his father's
ranch to stay with his mother.
Arthur Langendorf er. who is 26
years old. has built up a paying poul
try business, and was married last
June. His inheritance comes as a be
lated wedding present.
Emil Langendorfer Is 22, and has
been in Calexico with Troop A for five
months.
"I knew some of the boys in the
troop, and I wanted to see the coun
try," said Emil last night in explana
tion ot his enlistment after the call for
border duty came..
The lad's appearance is typical of the
trooper who Las seen service under the
hot Calexioo skies. His face is lean
end sun-browned, his eyes gray and
steady. His figure is well-knit, and
the drab uniform becomes him.

say." said the trooper. "Fact is. I
hadn't thought about it much. One
thing sure, I'm going to California and
travel around more in that state. Guess
I'll 'motor through. Sounds good,
don't it?"
The lad smiled easily, and chatted
with enthusiasm. The sadden turn In
his fortune had not gone to his head.
"Don't think I'll be a fool and spend
It all," he went on. "I'll take good
care of it, you can be sure of that.'
An automobile was leaving the bar
racks for- Vancouver last night with

"Mind if I climb In back?" asked the

"Guess I'll get out at the movie if

Wealthy Trooper Visits Movie.
Last seen of Emil he was entering
the swinging doors of a movie palace
where, for a dime, he could see some of
the magnificence in the homes of the
rich that may yet be his, some of the
countries where yet he may go with
out the aid of the all-seeing camera
eye.
Emil intended to come to Portland
upon being mustered out and go into
the poultry business with his brother.
Another trooper. William Lorue, had
signed up for a Job as stable tender,
but did not want to take up the work
at once. He asked Emil if he would
substitute for him while he vyent to
La Grande to visit his folks. Emil
would.
"I'm going to stay on the lob for a
couple of days." said Emil last night.
"Guess Logue will be back then. If he
isn't I'll try to make some other ar
rangements, as I want to go East. My
brother can't get away from his busi
ness here very well, right now."
Northwest Home for 13 Years.
Emil was born in Buffalo, N. Y., in
1894. He came to the Pacific North
west with his father 12 years ago, and
has been in Portland or Vancouver
ever since. His brother has been in
business for seven years in the Mead
owbroolc Poultry Farm.
He has not seen his grandfather,
whose death brought him a fortune,
since 1911, when his brother, father and
mother visited his rich reltaive in New

liking to young Emil at that time, it
is said.

POTASH INDUSTRY GROWS
Output in 1916 Ten Times More
Valuable Than in 1915.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. A remark
able expansion in the American potash
Industry has resulted from efforts to
make the United States Independent of
foreign sources for the potash used in
munitions and for .other purposes, and
although the boom did nbt get under
way until late in 1916, production dur
ing the calendar year reached a value
of ten times as great as that of 1915.
The 1916 production is estimated In
a preliminary report published today
by the Geological Survey at 10,000 tons,
with a value of . $3,500,000.
The estimate is based on incomplete
returns which to date have accounted
for 8S30 tons. In 1917. the-report says.
with the boom In full swing, a much
greater total will be shown.

submarine warfare is revealed In fig
ures made public here today by the
American Railway Association on be
half of its oar service commission.
which In co-operating with the Inter
state Commerce Commission in efforts
to relieve the car shortage situation.
The statistics, which are to be placed
before the Government, show that from
February 1 tr February 14 the grain
delivered to' vessels at the four oorts
amounted approximately to only 8,000,-
uuu DusneiM. This compares with 29,
000,000 bushels in Januarv and EX. 000..
000 bushels In December. The deliveries
nave been regulated, the association
says, to correspond wit the vessel ca
pacity, to the reduction of cargo space
caused by the submarine campaign-
Permits Aro nedneed. Too.
Permits were issued between Feb
ruary 1 and 14 for transportation of
7,000,000 bushels to seaboard to fill fu
ture cargo space promised. This com
pares with 25,000.000 moved on the
permit basis In January and 45,500,000
in December.
Stored at the terminals in the four
ports were 12.600,000 bushels during the
first half month of submarine activity,
as compared with an accumulation of
56,100.000 in January and 47,400,000 In
December.
A decrease in carload movement of
all other export freight in about the
same proportions Is also shown.
The railroads maintain they have
succeeded in regulating the movement
to the seaboard so that the accumula
tion has decreased, somewhat in pro
portion to the exportation.
Food Situation Brighter.
It was said on behalf of the roads
that the general situation as re Era rd a
food movement was brighter today
than during recent weeks, owing partly
to more favorable weather, but due
also to new car service rules. Vir
tually all the large roads in the coun
try signed an agreement to return cars
at once direct to the roads owning
them. A penalty will be Imposed, it
was said. In every case where a road
diverts an unloaded car over a road
which does not take the car back to its
owner over the shortest route. This
was regarded as a most radical move
and one which would send strings of
empties to congested districts.

A crowd of women rushed a fish
store and upset a tank of live carp.
Kerosene was poured on other fish

damaged. The policA forced back the
crowd and arrested three women.
Similar scenes were repeated in the
northeastern part of the city, also in
habited largely by foreigners, and
scores of pushcart venders lost their
wares. Many grocers and butchers
closed thel: shops. In an attack down
town on several teams loaded with food
supplies, a boy was hit in the face
with a milk bottle and severely in
jured. A report that a man had been
shot proved untrue.

AUSTRIAN BREAK IS EXPECTED
Arming of Merchant Ships Also Dis
cussed in Wasliington.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 22. No move
was made here today In the crisis in re

the central powers. Indications still
were that tomorrow's Cabinet meeting
would be followed by arrangements for
the President to address Congress with
a request for authority to deal with
any emergency that may arise after
adjournment.
There virtually is no hope here of a
favorable reply to the memorandum re
cently presented to the Austrian For
eign Office asking whether the pledges
concerning submarine warfare given
the United States in the Ancona and
Persia cases were still In -effcet. An
answer that will make inevitable the
severance of diplomatic relations with
Austria is expected at any time.
P. A. S. Franklin, president of the
International Mercantile Marine, called
at the Navy Department and talked
with Secretary Laniels and Assistant

FOOD FACTORIES TIED UP
Holding Tp of Grain Shipments De
clared Responsible for Situa
v tlon That Is Causing Food
Riots in Centers. .
CHICAGO. Feb. 22 A second tele
gram, in which there were traces of
apology for the belligerent tone of the
first one sent yesterday, was put on
the wires to the Interstate Commerce
Commission today by President Grif
fin, of the Chicago Board of Trade.
"We recognize fully," reads today's
telegram, "the respect due your hon
orable body, and If I have been em
phatic in my statement you will un
derstand it Is because of the desperate
plight In which wa find ourselves at
this time."
Mr. Griffin explains he now finds
that the car supply order, which he was
led to believe by local railroad men
eminated from Interstate Commerce
Commissioner McChord, really came
from the Car Service Commission of
the American Railway Association.
Grain Trade In Bad Way.
Mr. Griffin reiterated that the grain
trade of this section is in a desperate
way. Forty million bushels of grain
are held up In local elevators. 7,000,000
bushels additional are In cars, some
of which should have been shipped
three months ago. He told reporters
that food product factories in Chicago
In many cases are running- only 25 per
cent of capacity because they cannot
ship their products out, and that one
of the biggest corn products factories
In the world may have to close down
entirely if conditions are not remedied.
He said although the elevators have
ceased to operate, they fear, because
of the shortage of laboring men. to lay
off any hands, as they might not be
able to get them back again. Thus
their expenses remain at the maximum.
"The holding up of grain and grain
products is what largely is sending
food productssoarlng In the East and
causing demonstrations such as that
made by women in New York; City,"
Mr, Griffin said,
situation Worst la History.
Chicago representatives of Eastern
railroads admitted the situation was-
the worst in the country's history, but
declined to concur in Mr. Griffin's pre
diction of yesterday that if a remedy
is not found there will be rioting and
anarchy within 30 days. The rail
road men said that with improved
weather, preference in the shipment of
foodstuffs and other measures adopted
by the railroads, the situation should
clear up rapidly.
Meanwhile food prices in Chicago
showed no sign of decline. Wholesal
ers " generally predicted still higher
prices before new crops are harvested.
