BONA FIDE CLUBS EXEMPT
City's Executive Says Boxing Per
mits "Will Be Issued Only Upon
Approval by Chler Clark,
"Who Knows Black Sheep."
TJpon receipt of complaints that
frameups and professionalism have
rlayed r part In boxing contests In
Portland lately. Mayor Albee yester
day Instructed Chief Clark to clamp
down the lid on all but strictly amateur
matches. This is taken to mean the
end of the boxing game in Portland as
promoted for months past by several
clubs that have staged frequent
smokers In the pavilion on East Morri
son street.
An exception to the order has been
made for the Flnkham-Bronson fight
scheduled for next Tuesday night. A
permit for this bout already had been
issued.
Chief to Use Ula Discretion. '
The Mayor's order places discretion
as to who will receive permits in the
hands of Chief Clark.
"The Chief knows who the black
heep are," said the Mayor yesterday,
"and he will refuse to allow any more
contests. The order is not aimed at
bone fide clubs that are, complying
with the city ordinances governing
boxing. It is charged, however, that
eome fights have been 'framed.' The
accusation is also made that the
fighters are paid, either outright or
that money, through a subterfuge, is
advanced them as 'training expenses.'"
The local clubs involved are the
Itose City, the National, the Business
Men's, the Western and the Golden
.Vvest Athletic Club.
Officials Make Denial.
Officials of the various clubs denied
last night that they had in any way
violated the ordinance. Boxers have
received only training expenses and
belts and medals, they assert. They
alleged that when similar charges were
made at Seattle Investigation revealed
that they were untrue. Sheriff Stringer,
of King County, announced yesterday
that his ban on boxing in Seattle
would not apply to the Elks' Club and
the Seattle Athletic Club. He also
paid the Gibbons brothers would be al
lowed to exhibit because their dates
had been advertised.
Mayor Albee said last night It (s
probable the Gibbons show will be
permitted here.
The Gibbons brothers, who are billed
to appear in an exhibition in Port
land early in May already have left
St. Paul, their home town. Mike Gib
bons for years has been boxing in
structor in the St. Paul Y. M. C. A. He
Is recognized as the best middleweight
In the world.
tant There Is yet time to Increase the
acreage not only of corn, oats, barley,
rice and the sorghums, but also of
Spring wheat in certain areas, as well
as to extend the acreage of peas, beans,
cow peas and soy beans. The livestock
and poultry resources of the country
need to be considered carefully and en
couragement given to them. The
marked activity in home gardening will
result in a considerable additional pro
duction of perishable crops for- local
use."
The Federal Trade Commission was
asked to suggest laws to stop price
manipulation, to stop unfair practices
in the food trade and other measures to
protect the public from food speculators.
HAM CALLED OX HOARDING
Nation-Wide Movement Starts to
Check Unnecessary Baying.
CHICAGO, April 20. "Stop hoarding
food."
This was the cry that swept Chicago
today as two new restraints were
thrown against the steadily growing
wave of household buying.
First An investigation of reports
that speculators were cramml-j ware
houses in an effort to corner the mar
ket in certain foodstuffs was begun
by city officials.
Second Through its president, Mrs.
T. Vernette Morse, the Homemakers'
Guild instituted a Nation-wide move
ment to check hoarding of foods
through appeals to the patriotism of
women.
Despite the restrains thrown about
food hoarding by the quantity limita
tions "established by grocers, buying by
householders who feared further ad
vances reached a degree of Intensity
which led grocers in many sections of
the city to institute what amounted to
the virtual disruption of the retail gro
cery trade routine.
Deliveries in many instances were
stopped entirely or limited to certain
products. Quantity restrictions were
expanded until they covered almost
every staple. In many instances tele
phone orders were refused and in still
others telephones were left to ring unanswered.
Reports were received today that gro
cers' shelves in many Instances had
been swept clean of the very staples
the sales of which the grocers had
sought to limit, canned goods, sugar
and flour.

WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE,
Pullman, April 20. (Special.) The sale
of dairy herds and the dispersal of the
cows among Individuals who desire one
or more cows for family milk or their
slaughter, due to the present high cost
of feed, is a practice which, according
to Professor A. B. Nystrom, head of
the dairy division of the State College,
is rraugnt with grave dangers.
Professor Nystrom calls attention to

of the vital needs of a nation at war
that, should transportation of milk and
its products from dairying centers be
interrupted by the transportation of
troops, actual suffering might ensue.

"The limitation of the Emperor's

war," says Major Dassermann, "could
only be wrested from the monarch

Limit Armament, He Says, and
Restore World to Rule of
Reason Instead of Sword.
"If we learn nothing from this war
and go back to the old system we
shall have to arm to the teeth. And
the preparedness of the past will be
a mere bagatelle to what will come
then," said Hamilton Holt, editor of
the famous New York Independent,
and a director of the League to En

in Library Hall before the Jackson
Club.
One great issue of the world con

Commercial, Railroad. Financial and
Military Experts to Go May Be
Named In Few Days.
"WASHINGTON, April 20. President
Wilson probably will name within a
few days a group of distinguished
Americans as a Commission to be sent
to Russia to confer with members of
the new provisional government there
on ways in which the United States
can assist to strengthen the demo
cratic movement and aid Russia in
the war against Germany.
Elihu Root, former Secretary of
State, appeared tonight to be the
probable selection for chairman of
the Commission, although officials
said that a final decision had not been
reached. The Commission will be en
tirely nonpartisan.
The President first wanted to have
member of his Cabinet head the
Commission, and it is possible that he
may yet decide on this step. All the
members of the Cabinet, however, are
so actively at work on different
phases of the war preparations that
the President is understood to reel
that it would be difficult to spare any
of them at present.
In addition to the head of the Com
mission, who will act as the spokes
man of the President, the Commission
will include commercial, railroad, fi
nancial and military experts.
It is felt that with its experience
of more than 100 years in Democratic
government the United States may be
able to answer many questions from
the new Russian regime. The chief
problems In Russia, other than politi
cal, have to do with finances, and the
strengthening of railroads and indus
tries. The Administration is ready
to lend money to Russia at. a low rate
of Interest, and to do anything else
possible.

FOOD CONTROL PROPOSED

with the statement by officials that no
early action in that direction is likely,
as it is not considered necessary at this
time. Secretary Houston alluded to it
today in his letter, to the Senate by a
reference to European action in re
stricting the manufacture of alcoholic
liquors. He made no recommendations,
however, merely pointing out that the
European governments have saved con
siderable food that way. Estimates, he
said, put the amount of food made into
liquor in the United States at about
$145,000,000 annually.
Mr. Houston warned today against
agricultural experiments in new areas
and tests of new crops. The increase
of food, he said, must come about
largely through increased farm effi
ciency and on farms and ranges already
in operation. The problem he defined
as one of more concentration of effort,
not that of putting more land under
cultivation.
Increased Efficiency Needed.
Secretary Houston Informed the Sen

tion this year-must come through in

ranges already in operation and that

Montgomery as the tin woodman and
Stone as the strawman.
Montgomery last appeared in "Chin

EUGENE, Or, April 20. "A disease
commonly known as the lip and leg
ulcer is playing havoc among the hogs
and sheep of various sections of the
state," says N. S. Robb, county agricul
tural agent. "The disease confines .it
self to these two classes of livestock
and is especially bad In sheep. It
spreads much more rapidly in sheep
than in hogs and unless its appear
ance In the flock is cnecnea py tne
isolation of the victims the results are
bad.
"The disease first appears in the
form of lesions around the mouth and
on the legs in the region of the hoof
top. These lesions reach an excessive
growth and develop a proud flesh con
dition. In lambs and young pigs the
mouths are so affected that the animals
cannot suck and starving results."

there shall be co-operation or compe
tition between the nations. The way
to co-operation, he said, is to adopt
the programme of the League to En
force Peace, to the principles of which
virtually every great nation on earth
is now committed.
'What is it that confronts us?" asked
Mr. Holt, after having begun his ad
dress with a reference to the solidarity
of the country in its determination to
work out the task before it.
To Save Dcmocnirr I Purpose.
"We have entered a war with the
most remarkable purpose with which
any nation has ever gone to war. If
the President represents the country.
and I believe he does to a greater ex
tent than any other man. we have en
tered it with two great purposes in
view:
a irst, to maintain democracy on
earth, and, second, to substitute co
operation for competition on earth.
We are not eten fighting the Ger
man people, but only the system that
has fastened itself on the German peo
pie."
He warned his hearers that they must
rid their hearts of feelings of hatred
and hostility that permeate so many
against other races and creeds. Con
tinuing, he said:
"Democracy is going ahead right in
the midst of the war. See what has
happened in Russia. It is having a
profound effect, even in this country.
For one thing, it is going to brine
about universal suffrage in every state.
Privilege Declared Doomed.
"But if democracy does not come dur
ing the war, it is bound to come after
the war.
"After peace has been signed and the
weary veterans come home to pick up
the tangled threads, every man will
find that he must live on a lower level
than before. The Government won't
be supporting him any more.
"When the people realize this, they
will go to the privileged class the
manufacturers, those who ride in auto
mobiles, those who wear diamonds and
ask them to help. But they will get
nothing from this class, for when has
the privileged class ever done anything
ior anyDoay Dut Itself?
"Then they will go to the Govern
mcnt and ask for help. The Govern
ment will be willing, but what can it
do? It has already spent its sub
stance and the substance of grandchil
dren yet unborn. So finally the peo
ple will see that they must solve the
problem themselves and then will
come revolution. All the parasites,
economic and moral, will have to go."
Nations Favor League.
lie then discussed the problem of
maintaining world democracy.
ln best suggestion, I think, that
has been made along these lines," he
explained, "has been given by the
League to Enforce Peace. It may be
that this little group of men has
started a movement that will unite
the nations.
He said that France, after having
sent a man to investigate, was for it.
bven Germany, he said, had ap
proved it.
"Now, the question is," he said
ana.il we nave mis co-operation or
competition after the war? If this plan
of the League to Enforce Peace con
trols we shall have the rule of reason.
We shall have limitation of arma
ments.
"It seems to me." he concluded, "that
there is no more glorious duty for the
people of this country than to follow
the President in his purpose to pre
serve democracy and to open the way
to world co-operation.
W. D. Wheelwright, who is an active
member of the League to Enforce
Peace, introduced Mr. Holt. Dr. Elof
T. Hedlund presided at the meeting.

The War and Humanity
By
JAMES M. BECK
Author of "The Evidence in the Case."
First published in November, 1916, this powerful discussion of America and the World War has
made a deep impression on both sides of the Atlantic. It made history in its potent influence upon
American public opinion. Selected chapters (as the burning indictments of the Cavell execution and
Mr. Beck's now historic speech in London on "America and the Allies") have been circulated all over
the World in the English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Greek and Dutch languages.
"I most earnestly hope that there will be a wide circulation of Mr. Beck's War and Humanity.
It is the kind of a book which every self-respecting American who loves his country should read. I be
lieve that its circulation throughout the whole land would have a very real effect irT educating public
opinion as to the duty of America in this great world crisis." Extract from the Foreword by THEO
DORE ROOSEVELT. t
"Mr. Beck's volume was a classic the moment it appeared. We know of no more logical and lucid
discussion of the essential facts and problems of the great war, nor any more truly, consistently and
even vigorously American in its spirit." N. Y. Tribune.
"One of the most virile and convincing books that the great war has produced in any country of the
