CONFEREES ON FOOD
BILL MEET IMPASSE
President Will Be Consulted
. on Supervisory Committee
and Food Controller.
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..

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

court on her divorce, and carried it to
the Supreme Court. 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.

noon Mrs. Clark beratea air. jiarn lor

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.

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

lacking as to the extent of the storm.
It was believed that the wind con

be obtained.

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.

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

Fifteen hundred sympathizers of Ta

"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

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
