SMOOT PLAN IS DROPPED House's Drastic Provisions Regard ing Monopoly of Necessaries Re tained, as Is Prohibition of Storage to Raise Prices. WASHINGTON, July 29. Conferees on the administration food control bill reached an impasse tonight after an all-day conference, and leaders de cided to confer tomorrow with Presi dent Wilson on two points remaining In dispute the Senate proposals to es tablish a congressional committee to supervise war' expenditures and to cre ate a board of three food administra tors Instead of one. Upon all other questions the confer ence committee reached a complete agreement. Final enactment of the bill this week Is hoped for by the con ferees, but not regarded as certain. Representative Lever, heading the House conferees, and Senator Chamber lain, who handled the bill in the Sen ate for the administration, will take up with President Wilson tomorrow the two remaining differences. Point May Yielded. The President has declared the war committee would indicate lack of con fidence in his conduct of the war. Should he insist upon elimination of the proposal, it appears probable that the Senate conferees would yield the point tomorrow, leaving a disagreement only on the food board question. Numerous other changes have been agreed to in the bill, with most of the principal Senate amendments accepted. The conferees agreed that in addi tion to foods, feeds and fuels, the Gov ernment shall control "fuel oil and natural gas, fertilizer and fertilizer in gredients, tools, utensils, implements and equipment required for the actual production thereof," all denominated as necessaries. The so-called control sec tion of the House bill, much broader than the Senate's, was adopted, author izing Federal regulation affecting spec ulation, distribution and movement of the designated necessaries. Smoot Amendment Dropped. The Smoot amendment providing for Federal purchase of all distilled spirits in bond was stricken out. Senator Pomerene's amendment au thorizing the President to fix coal and coke prices and take over mines was adopted after a clause limiting such powers to military or common defense needs had been stricken out. Provi sion for "just compensation" is in cluded. The conferees substituted for the Senate's restricted licensing provision the House plan for much broader Fed eral license regulation of importation, manufacture, mining, storage and dis tribution of Government controlled nec assaries. The House's drastic provisions Against monopoly of necessaries and authorizing regulation of grain ex changes, were retained, but Senator Nelson's amendment regarding future trading of grain exchanges was strick en out. The so-called Pomerene-Walsh amendment prohibiting storing or hold ing of necessaries, except by producers, xo limit the public supply or affect the prices, was retained. S10.OOO.0OO for Nitrates Provided. The Senate's provision limiting Fed eral requisitioning authority to neces saries for military or other public use also was retained, as was its provision limiting Government purchases and sales in order to obtain reasonable prices for fuel, wheat, flour, meal, beans and potatoes. A new section was adopted author izing requisitioning for military or public purposes of any factory, packing-house, mine, pipe line or other plant producing the designated neces saries. A provision for Just compen sation is included. A Senate amendment appropriating $10,000,000 for acquiring soda nitrates for fertilizer and their sale to farmers at cost was adopted. The conferees ac cepted the Pomerene amendment to regulate the making of contracts by advisory commission members.. A. E. CLARKJS ATTACKED (Continued From First Pane.) fcteenng wheel, and pointing another automatic In my face. The machine swerved and we hit a lumber pile, throwing Mrs. Clark and myself to the ground. The men pounced on me again, and the younger man was pointing the gun at me as Patrolman Bender ar rived and put them under arrest." Letter Carries Threat. Mr. Clark declares there Is no doubt In his mind but that the men would have done him bodily harm If they had not hit the lumber. He also eaid that he had received . threatening letter from his former wife on July 14. The letter, in part, said: "I told you that only If my right hand was paralyzed so that I could not hold a pistol would you escape the fate that every coward deserves when he trades in the honor of a woman. Now that I can see again I give you fair warning of what you may expect." Mrs. Clark was not held at police headquarters, but was told by Deputy District Attorney Deich she would be called later. The two men yesterday declared they were not hired by Mrs. Clark, but that they had planned with her to get Mr. Clark out where she could talk to him and that If he refused to talk they In tended to help her horsewhip him. One of the men carried a short, loaded whip. When asked if they had any intention of killing Mr. Clark. Glen Kleinau said. .o, killing Is too good for him, but I am not through with him yet." No Pay Is Assertion. Glen Kleinau has been employed by Mrs. Clark as chauffeur for about three months and he said that what he did was done out of sympathy for her. He said that he had induced his brother to help in the matter, but that neither of them received any pay for It. Deputy District Attorney Deich charged the two men with assault with a dangerous weapon. They will be given a hearing today in Municipal Court. The penalty for an offense of this kind Is one to 15 years In the penitentiary. Mr. Clark obtained a divorce from Mrs. Clark in July, 1914, and since then has been paying her $150 a month and has allowed her, as a place of abode, their former home at 819 John son street Sanity Once Questioned. In 1915 Mrs. Clark, following a dem onstration in which the Sheriffs office had to act, was brought before the in sanity commission and tried for her anlty. Drs. Calbralth, House and Jo- sephi were the testifying experts, and the first two brought in a report of "insane." Dr. Josephi differed from them only In degree of her mental dis tress, reporting that she was "in the borderland," a state of paranoia which was not homicidal in effect, but which would bear supervision. The physicians all recommended that a guardian be appointed for her. Several weeks later Judge Cleeton ruled Mrs. Clark was not insane, but did order a guardian appointed. Certain members of the women's organizations In which Mrs. Clark had been Interested stood spon sor for her future action, and she was alternately watched over by va rious members of the organization. In cluding Mrs. G. J. Frankel, Mrs. M. I T. Hidden and others. Mrs. Frankel was appointed guardian formally, but gave up the charge after a few months' trial. Prior to her hearing for Insanity Mrs. Clark gained prominence when she publicly interfered with parishioners at Trinity Episcopal Church, and the trouble eventually caused her to be ex communicated. ; Snlt Filed Against Rector. Later she filed suit against Dr. A. A. Morrison, pastor of the church, for $50,000 damages for humiliation, when he asked her to desist from interfering with parishioners. The case went ad versely for Mrs, Clark through the lower courts, and she carried it to the Supreme Court. That tribunal dis missed it. Likewise Mrs. Clark de clined to accept the verdict of the lower A SAILOR'S LIFE IS NOT ; s - V.-: - -,V' I ? fcr$ '4 ' ? S 5 V t,V t-x - 3 JACKIES OK TTTE AMERICAN NAVY AX MESS.

It was recently de cided adversely against her in that high tribunal. During part of the time since 1912 Mrs. Clark has been suffering from failing eyesight, and she recently left the hospital after having an operation to restore her sight. Mr. Clark has paid the hospital bills incurred, and said last night that he had provided every reasonable comfort for her. He firmly believes that she is suffering from a stage of paranoia in which she con stantly has hallucinations and believes she is being persecuted. He now fears the paranoia has reached homicidal stage and that she believes she must do bodily harm to assuage the persecution which she Imagines is being meted out to her. At the police station yesterday after noon Mrs. Clark beratea air. jiarn lor his "political ambitions." Glen Kleinau is well known among the city's younger set. He was a grad uate of Lincoln High school, and promi nent in school affairs. He also attended Reed College for a while, where he did some advertising for the extension course to pay his expenses. Young Kleinau was a member of the i ourth Presbyterian church in South Portland, where he belonged to the Christian En deavor and other church organizations. RAID ON PARIS FAILS PROTECTING AIRPLANES CIRCLE CITY DRIVING GERMANS BACK. Attack of Friday Results In Injury of Two Women, Dot Saturday's At tempt Comes to Kanght PARIS, July 29. The censor today permits the publication of scanty de tails of an air raid made on Paris Friday night which the Associated Press was not allowed to send yester day and which the French newspapers were not permitted to publish. According to this information, bombs were dropped on three different sub urban sections. In the first the bombardment caused absolutely no damage; in the other two localities five or six bombs were dropped, causing the slight injury of two women. One bomb of several that fell In a field is believed to have con tained asphyxiating gas. The attempted raid on Paris Satur day night was even more unsuccessful than that on Friday, for the German aviators were not able to reach Paris at all. Their coming was anticipated and French protecting airplanes were circling above and arounii Paris from early evening. The residents, however, did not look for a renewal of the fruitless attack of the previous night and most of them had retired when the sirens gave the warning. Crowds rushed to the streets, roofs and windows instead of seeking shelter, but they saw nothing. Less than an hour after the first warning reassuring bugles announced that the enemy aviators had been turned back. WIND COOLS PRAIRIES Wind Sweeps Portion of North Da kota, Cutting Down Wires. ST. PAUL, July 29. Some relief from the exereme heat tht has reulned crops and exposed prairies and forest in the Northwest to the danger of great fires, was seen tonight when reports reached St. Paul ofa violent storm that swept a portion of the southeastern part of North Dakota. Because of interruption to wire com munication tonight information was lacking as to the extent of the storm. It was believed that the wind con tinued over into Minnesota, but direct communication in that territory cannot be obtained. Phone your want ads to Tho Oregro nlan. Main 7070, A 6095. SEATTLE STRIKERS REJECT HEW OFFER Men Decline to Resume Work and Arbitrate Until Men Are Reinstated. NATIONAL UNION BACKED Streetcar Operators Determined to Force Recognition of Amalgamat ed Representative States After All-Day Sessions Are Held. CT?.APTT.TT Tnl 90 Th nrAnnflfll Of the Puget 'Bound Traction, Light & SO HARD AT SAN DIEGO. Power Company that the striking streetcar men return to their posts and that all differences be referred to a board of four arbitrators, will be re jected by the men, according to a state ment made tonight by A. A. Whiteley, official representative of the carmen's union on the conference committee, which held meetings today to discuss the proposal. No official reply to the proposal has yet been made by the com mute, which was holding another con ference tonight. Rejection of the company's latest proposal, made last night by the com pany, brings a new deadlock in the dispute and destroys hope that traffic would be resumed tomorrow. More Strike-breakers Imported. Another party of strike-breakers, the fourth the company has brought from Eastern cities, arrived here today. It numbered about 60 men, and it is stated the company is now housing at its vari ous barns nearly 500 of these men. No effort to use them on cars has yet been made. In the unofficial statement he made, Whiteley said: "We will go back to work as soon as the company reinstates seven men discharged in Tacoma and two in Se attle, recognizes the Amalgamated As sociation of Street and Electric Rail way Employes of America and submits to arbitration in the regular way." A. L. Kempster, manager of the com pany, would not say tonight whether an attempt would be made tomorrow to operate the cars. Sunday, the 13th day of the strike, passed quietly. While a patient pub lic awaited a decision from the work ers on the new arbitration proposal. the committee representing the 1600 striking motormen and conductors spent most of the day discussing the proposal, .while the 450 odd strike breakers kept to the car barns. For more than a week not a car ha moved and, save for the few served by the two municipal streetcar llnea the people have been using the Jitneys and the overflow from the jitneys has traveled in a variety of vehicles, rang Ing from limousines to roller skates. City to It rs u me Court Action. WThlle the company has expressed a willingness to deal with Its men as a union. Independent of their labor bodies, the rock upon which the oppos ing sides have split has been its refusal to recognize the men's organization as a unit of the National body, tne Amal gamated Association of Street Railway Employes of America. The arbitration proposal issued last night by President Leonard consisted of an effort to sub mit all differences, including the ques tion of affiliation with the National organization, to a board of four to be selected by the strikers from a list of 11 men, whose names the company sub mitted, and It was proposed that the men resume work while this board came to a decision. The city's court action to have a re ceiver for the company appointed to restore service, after having had In nings In both state and Federal courts through the past week, will be taken up again In the Superior Court tomor row morning. STRIKEBREAKERS ARE EGGED Nine of Tacoma Sympathizers Are Arrested for Inciting Riot. TACOMA. Wash., July 29. (Special.) Fifteen hundred sympathizers of Ta coma's striking streetcar men crowded around the Tacoma Railway & Power Company's car barns late this after noon when an attempt was made to un load 15 strikebreakers from a Seattle interurban.

WOMEN TREATED BRUTALLY Finest Sight Encountered, Says Am bulance Man, Is 2 000 German Captives Preparing Bar racks for Americans. CHICAGO, 111., July 29. (Special.) The Germans know nothing of sports manship and the proper treatment of their foes. The French, on the con trary, are thorough sportsmen, who can get along with anyone. Their treatment of prisoners and women and children, therefore. Is In direct con trast." This comparison was made vesterdav by George W. Bunn, a veteran of the French ambulance service, who has Just returned to the United States to join the second reserve officers' train "AMEXES" FAILS TO THRILL MEMBERS OF THIRD OREGON "Beaver" Boys Still Loyal to "Yanks' or "Yankees" 1880 Enlisted Men Ready for Any Service Col. Vernon Will Command Oregon Units. BY WILL G. MACRAE. WITH THE THIRD (BEAVER) REGIMENT OREGON INFAN TRY, July 29. (Special.) What is the matter with the American news paper correspondents at the front? Have they lost all their originality? Have they gone clear daft and forgot ten old traditions, and gone chasing false gods? First it was the Sammies! Their verbal branding iron slipped. They tried again, and now they are attempting to brand the American sol diers, the Amexes. It will not do. Exeunt both Sammies and Amexes. Why not go back to the good, old original Yanks? It was an appellation good enough for our rorefathers. They were proud of the name, even if the Spanish and the Mexicans did refer to United States soldiers as "Yankee Pigs." Nobody cared, not the American soldier at any rate. He always has been, and always will be, proud to be called a Yank or a Yankee. What I said would happen to any soldier or native of our allies who at tempted to call any member of the Third Oregon Sammies or Amexes, still goes. If the Beaver regiment needs help to make good this threat, an S. O. S. will be sent to Captain Francis Endlcott, Forty-fourth Infantry, who has just concluded the examinations of the officers of the Third. The field return, a military document which comes through every Friday giv ing the exact status of the regiment, shows that the Third Oregon has 1880 enlisted men ready for the firing line, that Is to say, ready for any sort of soldier duty; 33 in the Sanitary Troops and 48 men on special duty, bringing the total up to 1961. All of which argues for that "Oregon First." The Rev. Dr. Pence, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian church,' of Portland, preached to the soldiers of the Third Oregon at field church serv ice this morning. The soldiers thor oughly enjoyed his talk. He pictured the entrance of the United States Into the war, as a "Holy mission." saying that the nation had been guided into the conflct by "God's directing hand." Major M. B. Marcellus received a letter from ex-Sergeant J. T. Kromer, a former member of the Sanitary Troops, who has been for the past 18 months a member of the Third Cana dian Ambulance Corps. His number Is 61045. - In his letter to Major Marcellus, Kromer expresses a desire to rejoin the Third Oregon, and says he thinks the transfer can be obtained through the American ambassador at London. Colonel May has endorsed Kromer's letter, urging the transfer. Discharge papers because of de pendency came through yesterday from the Western Department for Private Robert C. Wygant, Company M. The date of Private Wygant's discharge Is May 12, 1917. When the officers' train ing camp opened at the Presidio, Wygant was on duty with his company, which Is stationed at La Grande. It is said that, without proper notice, he pulled up stakes and the next heard of him was In the training camp. Now comes the news of his discharge for de pendency and a newspaper report that ho has received a commission as a second lieutenant. Colonel Vernon A. Caldwell, Forty fourth Infantry, who has been presi $13.75 $15.75 $17.75 Corner Fourth ing camp. Mr. Bunn is a graduate of Princeton '12, and lives in Springfield, 111. Mr. Bunn says the United States has little conception of the hideous brutal ities inflicted upon women and chil dren of Belgium and Northern France by their German captors and adds that the United States, at this late date, is simply taking up the load that France and England has been carrying for us. Germany set out to force all the world to speak nothing but the Ger man language. Close behind the in vading line of troops came a corps of teachers, who Immediately set to work upon the captives, telling them there was to be no language in the future but German and they were fortunate to get an early start in learning it. The French are prepared for a long war, he says, and are ready to see It to a successful finish. Among the finest sights to encoun ter, according to Mr. Bunn, was that of 2000 German prisoners at work prepar ing the American barracks. Seven Hurt in Auto Accident. SEATTLE, July 29.

USUALLY FATAL OR TRIVIAL. Statistics Compiled by Roger Bibaoa From French Casualties Show Losa of Limbs SIlKht. BOSTON, Mass., July 29. (Special.) Roger Babson, the eminent statis tician of Welleeley, has gathered the following figures from a close study of war casualties: Fourteen men out of every 15 have been safe so far. Under present condi tions, where man-power Is being saved. not more than one In 30 Is killed. Only one man In 500 loses a limb a chance no greater than in hazardous conditions at' home. Mr. Babson's conclusions are based on the mortality figures of the French army for the full three years of the war. and attention Is called to the fact that present fighting Is not resulting In anywhere near the number of deaths recorded for the first two years. Most of the wounds sustained In the trenches," said Mr. Babson, "are clean cut and of a nature that a few weeks In a hospital makes the subject as fit as ever. Only 300,000 French soldiers have been discharged on account of wounds during the three years of the war. "Fighting in the trenches, most of the wounds are In the top of the head. simply scalp wounds. Practically speaking, a wound is either fatal or slight, with but few in between these two extremes."
