PORTLAND BANKS TO
PUT UP $1,000,000
Subscriptions to Treasury
Certificates Already Ag
i gregate $700,000.
RATE OF INTEREST RAISED
Tssue of Temporary Securities Can
Be Redeemed July 1 or Con
verted Into War-loan Bonds
at Purchaser's Option.
Tortland banks are ready to sub
scribe at least $1,000,000 to the recent
ly authorized Issue of $200,000,000 in
Treasury certificates.
The Treasury Department yesterday
raised the rate on these securities
from 2 per cent to 3 per cent and this
Is expected to stimulate buying sub
fetantially. The biggest individual purchaser in
Portland is the First National Bank,
which bought $500,000 worth. The
United States National bouerht $100,000
and the Northwestern National $100,
000. The other banks have not com
pleted their plans, but it is understood
that they will subscribe more than the
$300,000 necessary to make Portland's
share in the issue aggrregate $1,000,000.
The Issue of Treasury certificates has
been put out merely to meet deficits in
various governmental departments
caused by the war emergency. These
certificates will be redeemed at par by
the war bonds, bearing 3'4 per cent in
terest, which probably will be placed on
the market within the next few weeks.
The Treasury Department's first in
tention as to sell the certificates on a
2 per cent basis, but a desire to stimu
late the market and to enable the
country bankers to participate caused
an advanco yesterday to 8 per cent, ex
plained in a telegram from Governor
KaiDs, of the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco, to the Northwestern Na
tional Bank of Portland.
While none of the state banks in
Portland Is a member of the Federal
reserve system. It is understood that
some of them contemplate purchases of
certificates from their reserve. The
certificates will be redeemable In gold
on July 1, at any rate, but can be con
verted into war bonds, paying 2hi per
cent, at any time prior to that date that
the war bonds are available.
Portland's sympathetic response to
the National Treasury in this case Indi
cates that the city will be ready to do
more than its share when the war
bonds are marketed.
All the National banks are notify
ing their customers that they will be
prepared to handle their bond subscrip
tions without commission or profit. The
bond houses already have done like
wise. It is presumed that the Post-
office also will be authorized to ac
cept subscriptions.
If th present enthusiasm continues
until the bonds are placed on sale it is
believed that the entire issue of $7,000.
000,000 will be disposed of as fast ts
the bankers and Treasury offlcails can
handle it.
It 's understood here that the bonds
wil be Issued In small denominations
as low as $25 so that all classes of
thrifty citizens will have a chance to
subscribe.
CHIEF QUOTES I. W, W.
BECKINGHAM SAYS ADAMS ADMIT
TED ARMS ON VERO.NA.
More Than Score Aboard Said to Have
Been Identified and Details of
Battle Are Given.
SEATTLE, April 20. Charles Adams,
an Industrial Worker of the World,
who were aboard the steamer Verona
on November E, and declared that they
had firearms with them during the
fight at the Everett city dock that day,
identified more than a score of men
according to the testimony of Charles
Beckingham, Seattle Chief of Police,
today. Beckingham was testifying at
the trial of Thomas H. Tracy, who is
charged with the murder of Jefferson
Beard, a Deputy Sheriff.
Beckingham's testimony concerning
Adams, who is one of the 74 defend
ants in the case, came during cross-
examination early in the afternoon.
Previously, on direct examination by
the defense, he had said that the 74
men imprisoned had been selected from
a much larger number taken from the
Verona on her return to Seattle, and
that two detectives, who had been
aboard during the fight, had identified
them as having had weapons during the
fight.
Most of the afternoon's testimony
was concerned with details of the bat
tie as seen by spectators from the
shore.

VANCOUVERTWash., April 20. (Spe

dore Roosevelt may accept their offer
to recruit for his division a regiment
of deaf sharpshooters, the National As
sociation of the Deaf, through J. F.
Meagher, of the State School for Deaf,
is taking a census of able-bodied young
deaf men here who are eager to defend
their country.
It is said deaf marksmen are unex
celled at trench fighting, being unabl
to hear the whistle of shot, bursting
of shell, and shrieks of the dying
which unnerve even tried veterans.
Three companies of deaf infantrymen
in German uniforms were taken prison
era at Ypres. Commands issued with
one sweep of the arms could be dis
tinguished even above the ear-splitting
bellow of Big Bertha.
J. F. Meagher, president of the im
postor bureau for the deaf, and in
structor in the Washington State
School for the Deaf, sent the following
letter to Colonel Koosevelt:
Ever since the February, 1916,. number of

of a bod of deaf men la Kew J ox It last

How to make Oregon's agricultural
acres yield the maximum in food prod-

That Is the problem that will be pre
sented at a mass meeting of delegates
representing all the agricultural, com
mercial, social and economic interests
of the state at the Chamber of Com
merce today.
The meeting has been called by W.
J. Kerr, president of the Oregon Agri
cultural College, and is expected to do
something more than adopt a resolu
tion and disband.
Dr. Kerr realizes the importance of
assembling the resources of the state
in tne task of increasing the food sup
ply, not only of this country but of
those European nations that are united
with America in the common cause of
war against Prussia.
To further the campaign Initiated
by the National Government," says
President Kerr in h-is Invitation to the
meeting, "I am calling a conference to
consider the present serious food eit-
uatlon and to devise means for secur
ing most helpful and effective co-oper
ation in Increasing the agricultural
production and conserving the present
food supply. There is urgent and im
mediate need of united, constructive ef-
iort.-'

It is apparent that the neonl of th

yesterday from a trip through Eastern

Purposes." said Mr. Robinson. "The
peas will be used for stock feed and
, lnem be dried or canned,
, ,ner IarS quantities probably will go

aelau that doubtless will get
attention at the meeting today will be

ripe. The Army and Navy have made
considerable drain on Oregon this year.
umcr targe rorces of men are em

Pupils May Work Fields.
For this reason it has been anrir,ri
that schoolboys and girls be placed at
worn in tne Derry fields, allowing the
mature men to go into the harvest
fields and In other farm activities that
require more brawn and experience.
Anotner question that may be tackled
by the conference is the oronosnl to
use the Southern Pacific's land for ag
ricultural purposes. These lands now
are involved in litigation. Their aggre-
gate area is 2.300,000, but only
com-
parativeiy small part
is fitted for
agricultural purposes.
But, on the theory that "every little
bit helps." It is nrobahln tht rh Qn.,.
era Pacific will be asked to nermit v.
free use of such nronertv hi oil
ers wno are willing to cultivate it
intelligently.

started by that organization and with
tne patriotic conservation League
which has betn effectively active in
the last few weeks in the imnorts-nt
taste or producing the Idle land of Port
land for gardening purposes.

the sun is threatening to shine most

want the meeting to waste time, hut

BIG FOLK GRADUATE
Simmer of "Melting Pot"
Is
Seen at Ladd School.
NIGHT CLASS ALL ALIENS
Patriotism and Love for Adopted
Country Shown Grown-Ups Do
Stnnts Displaying Accom
plishments to Friends.
One could see the "melting pot sim
mer at the Ladd School last night when
the graduation exercises for the night
school were held, and a class of 11 out
of a student body representing 31 dif
ferent nationalities received certifi
cates. Truly. It was a sight to kindle en
thusiasm and patriotism.
These graduates from the eighth
grade were not children such as ordi
narily seen closing the grammar school
work, but grown men and women, who
have been striving with deadly earnest
ness for the past three years to grasp
the rudiments of education which will
make them able to be better and more
effective citizens of the United States.
The average age of the students Is 30
years. The certificates given them last
night Indicated that they had complet
ed creditably the grammar school work
ud to the ninth grade, and are ready to
go into High School work at some or
the other night schools. If they choose.
Many of them began their schooling
through the medium of an interpreter.
Gathering Is International.
The programme was a good-natured
international family gathering in the
auditorium of the school. In which.
after Principal C. G. Benson made a
short talk, various pupils did the stunts
that hey could do best-
There were tenor singers with voices
of golden Italy, and there were singers
from nearer the orient, singing in tne
weird Oriental melodies that defy Oc-
cidental notation; accordion solos.
guitar solos, halting speeches in the
broken English that had been acquired
so laboriously in the night school
Land accompanied by good-naturea
laughter from the audience ana tne
performer over the manifest blunders.
Belva Tobln. a bit of a fairy, danced
like a sunbeam, while her father and
mother, and her aunts and cousins
one would judge glowed with approval-
In their soft, dark Mediter
ranean eyes.
tvt Malt at . arose and did a lightning
sketch, with an unmistakable touch of
Tannnese technlaue and yet an unmis
takable likeness to one of the world's
international celebrities. And the audi
ence bellowed in 84 different accents
"Charlie Chaplin." and bestowed thun-
derdus applause upon the caricaturist.
Musical Selections Given.
Dominic Bombardl and Nick Dardeni
nri H.nrv Achilles and a trio consist
inn- of FilliuDO Rufflo. Giovanni Icassl
and M. Amato gave songs and instru
mental selections, and the performances
of the pupils were interspersed by solos
by some of the members of the faculty.
And the time when you could begin to
u renllv the emergence of tne Amen
can citizen from the simmer of the
melting pot was when they stood up
and sang with abounding reverence
onrf nthuqlasm. "America" and "The
Rtnr.snnnplAd Banner."
Judzed bv appearances tnere is real
ly not much more for the melting pot
to do for these pupils, except, perhaps.
to polish off their accents a oil ana
give them a tiny bit more high-school
training, for the spirit of humble rev
erence and loyalty to their adopted
land, the spirit that ought to charac
terize a genuine American citizen,
seems to have been Inculcated already.
