BED CROSS PLANS
$100,000,000 JOB
Chairman Davison Says Cost
of Distributing Relief Will
Be Small Percentage.
FUND TO BUY EQUIPMENT
Humanitarian Xeods of Allies Will
Bo Undertaken, as "Well as Ac
tual Work of Providing and
Caring for Wounded.
NEW YORK, June 12. The way !n
Which the Red Cross war council plans
to expend the $100,000,000 fund which
Is being: raised was explained by Henry
P. Davison, chairman, in a letter from
him which was read at a Red Crdss
luncheon here today.
He pave assurance that "only a small
percentage of each dollar contributed
will be required to carry the relief to
its destination " because of the volun
teer character of the best American ,
talent in medicine, sanitation, trans
portation, construction, welfare work,
purchasing1, commercial business, ac
counting and other l'nes.
Base hospitals will continue to be or
ganized to be turned over to the Army
at once for service in France. Units
for military and naval mobilization
camps will be provided. Supplies must
be purchased, collected, transported
and stored. Hospital ships are to be
bought, equipped and manned. A sani
tary engineering corps will be formed.
The extent of all this preparation can
not now be estimated, Mr. Davison said,
because no one knows whether one or
two million men are to be sent forward.
Aside from these needs, "he Red Cross
will undertake a. larger humanitarian
work for America's allies, with whom
eociological and medical experts are
row consulting. Tuberculosis and
trench diseases abroad must be fought.
Mr. Davison said.
RE DCROSS TO GET DIVIDEND
If All Stockholders Contribute, Do
nation Will Be $5,500,000.
NEW YORK, June 12. In addition to
subscribing $25,000,000 more to the lib
erty loan bonds, buringtng its total
subscription up to $50,000,000,- the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation today de
clared an extra dividend of 1 per cent
on the common stock to enable stock
holders to contribute to the $100,000,000
fund which is being raised by the Amer
ican National Red Cross for Army pur
poses. If all the steel corporation's
common stockholders contribute their 1
per cent dividend the Red Cross will
realize about $5,500,000.
Chairman Gary announced that a still
further subscription to the liberty loan
Jf it should seem necessary in order to
dispose of the total amoun: of bonds to
be placed by the Government wculd be
made within the period ending next
Friday.

of the Per-Ugland.
COPP IS DEAD
ASSOCIATE PRESS DIVISION SU.
PERINTENDENT PASSES AT 49.
Last 'vforlc of Noted Telegrapher-Corre
spondent Is Trip Across Atlantic
on First Armed Vessel.
WASHINGTON. June 12. Arthur W
7opp. superintendent of the Southern
envision or tne Associated Press, died
here today of a complication of dis
eases, after a lingering illness. He was
4 9 years old.
Before coming to Washington Mr.
Copp had been superintendent of the
Western division at San Francisco, and
before that had served the Associated
Press in many places and in many ca
pacities. Entering the service as a
telegrapher nearly 25 years ago, he
had risen to superintendent of division.
Mr. Copp's last work was, perhaps,
as he might have wished it, for, when
a. volunteer was called to sail on the
American liner St. Louis, as the first
srrned American ship to cross the sub-
Alkali in Soap
Bad for the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully if
you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and: prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use Is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and, greaseless). and
is better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
molRten the hair with water and rub
it in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
Tou can get mulsified. eoeeanut ell
at any pharmacy; it's very cheap, and
m. tew ounces will supply every member
of tho family for months.-Adv.
marine zone, he responded and made
the perilous voyage for the Associated
Press. The nervous strain probably
added to the precarlousness of his phy
sical condition, the seriousness of
which, then was unknown to others.
Soon after he returned to America he
was taken to a hospital.
Twenty years before, as an Asso
ciated Press correspondent, he had
served in Cuba during the Spanish
American war.
Mr. Copp was born in Madison. Wis.,
where he will be buried. He was un
married. His brother. J. M. Copp, of
Madison, was with him when he passed
away.
MR. COPP SWIFTEST SENDER
W. A. Robb, of Western Union, Tells
of Work of Dispatcher on Coast.
Mr. Copp was well known in Port
land a quarter of a century ago, when
he worked up and down the Coast with
the Postal Telegraph Company prior to
his affiliation with the Associated
Press. He was a personal friend of W.
A. Robb, local manager of the Western
Union, who met Mr. Copp 26 years ago
when both of them were in the Postal
service. Frank DeParcq, of the Postal
Company, was a playmate in childhood
of Mr. Copp.
Mr. Copp was in charge of the wire
that dispatched all Coast news East,
via San Francisco and Vancouver, B. C.
The Postal had no direct Eastern wire
at that time.
Mr. Robb said yesterday that Mr.
Copp was perhaps the swiftest sender
of any operator on the Coast at that
time. For that reason he was picked
up by the Associated Press.

RATE RISE MEANS
$300,000,000 YEAR
Arguments Are Concluded and
Hearing on Railway Peti
tion Is Ended.
DECISION DUE IN 18 DAYS
Carriers Rest Case on Statement That
Increase Is Necessary 'to Meet
Costs Due to Adam. son Law
and Supplies, Too.
WASHINGTON-. June 12. Hearings
on the application of the railroads of
the country for 15 per cent horizontal
raise in freight rates were closed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today. After three weeks of testimony
and argument the Commission had 18
days in which to consider the oase.
A 15 per cent freight rate advance
would mean, in round numbers. $300.
000,000 annually, according to figures
of the shippers, and would affect vir
tually every big industry in the coun
try. The carriers have rested their case
on the statement that Increased labor
costs, due to the Adamson law, and
higher costs of materials, fuel and
supplies have created an emergency.
Earnings Declared Increased.
Shippers have submitted data de
signed o show that the earnings of
the roads are on an Increase and. that
the year 1917 wiU be the best in his
tory except 1916, which was the peak
period of railway earnings and ad
mitted to be abnormal. They contend
that carriers handling two-thirds of
the traffic are in prosperous financial
condition.
Charles Donnelly, chief counsel for
the Western railroads, opened today s
arguments by saying that several Ira
portant Western lines, would be obliged
to reduce, if not pass, their dividends
in the near future if the proposed in
crease is not granted.
Frank -Reeves, representing North
western fruitgrowers, told, the commis
sion that the railroads have been re
sponsible in part for planting of great
apple orchards and ' that a freight
raise would destroy that business now.
Western Interests Protest.
Arguments for Pacific Coast lumber
dealers, nut and citrus fruitgrowers
and pine producers against the increase
were presented by C. B. Aitchlson and
W. E. Lamb. The protest of the Seat
tle Chamber of Commerce was made
by S. J. Wettrick.
J. H. Henderson and A. E. Helm,
representing Western state commis
slons and shippers, declared that the
credit of Western lines as represented
in the purchase of securities by the
public is better than that of any other
securities except governmental and
municipal 'bonds based on taxation.
UNION HOLDS DELEGATES
SEAMEN AND FIREMEN DISTRUST
SOCIALISTS.
Promise to Insist on Restitution
Seamen Alleged to Have Been
Made Too Late. "
for
LONDON. June 12. The holding of
the Socialist Labor delegation to Rus
sia . by the Seamen's and Firemen's
Union is causing a good deal of fer
ment and occupies a considerable space
in the papers. There is a sharp con
flict of opinion and Ramsay Macdonald
and Frederick W. Jowett, the heads of
the delegation, have received strong
support from the Glasgow Trades Coun
cil.
The Trades Council has telegraphed
to the Premier, the Shipping Control
ler, the Foreign Minister and the Labor
party, protesting against the hold-up
of the delegation.
Several of the morning papers con
firm the report that Macdonald and
Jowett have signed a guarantee that
they would Insist upon restitution to
allied merchant seamen for murder and
destruction committed by German Bub-
marines. The papers say, however,
that the Labor delegates' opponents
declare their action has come too late.
President Wilson, of the Seamen's
Union, is also quoted as saying:
The view of the union has been
modified owing to the seamen's" dis
trust as to fulfillment of the guaran
tee. They further demand an apology
for insults offered at the league's con
ference, where they were refused a
hearing.

as a suspect, had .told of having been
approached by German agents to aid
them in abducting a St. Louis munitions
maker as part of a plot to thwart the
traffic in munitions to the r entente
allies. '
