HELP IS UNOBTAINABLE
GarabetJ, T. K. Giragossian Sells Sus
penders in Study Intervals L'n
- til Congress Conies to Aid,
II. Cartozian Says.
That the greatest of interest centers
about the claims of Garabed T. K. Gira
frossian. that he has discovered means
for snatching energy from the cosmos
out of thin air. is the declaration of
Housef Cartozian. of the Portland firm
of Cartozian Brothers, who has Just re
turned from New York and other East
ern points, where he spent four weeks
on a buying trip.
Congress, at the instance of Gira
gosslan himself, aided by a few faithful
friends and some members of the com
mittee before which he went, decided
that there shall be a thorough investi
gation of the claims put forth by the
man who declares he has made the most
remarkable discovery of the age. That
the session of Congress Just adjourned
had taken this action has been pub
lished heretofore in The Oregonian.
with a detailed statement of the case.
While in New York. Mr. Cartozian
visited with a nephew, S. Papazian. who
has seen Giragosslan and who knows
something of the study the man has
made In reaching the conclusions he has
concerning his discovery.
' GtragOHMfan Is 60.
"Giragossian is an Armenian," said
Mr. Cartozian. "He comes from Adl
Yaman, Anatolia, Turkey. - and is 60
years old. They who have seen him
nay that, from hard study, probably, he
has more or less worn himself, so that
his face appears drawn and wrinkled
and he slightly resembles the Japanese
in racial expression.
"While living in his native country
Giragossian was arrested, as he ap
peared so deeply in study that the
Turkish officials feared he was bent
upon mischief, perhaps plotting revo
lution, and he was placed in Jail. That
was about 20 years ago. Upon his re
lease, he took passage to this country,
where, he had learned, a man may be
free to pursue any lawful study or
calling. He has been living in Boston
and its environs, at times peddling
suspenders from place to place among
his countrymen, and at all times talk
ing about his wonderful discovery and
endeavoring to get people interested
in it.
Stock Is Offered.
"My nephew and many of his friends
have been offered stock in the dis
covery or invention, but declined: it
has been very difficult for the studious
Giragossian to obtain help and he had
struggled along practically alone and
unaided until now. I am told that he
has spent much time in libraries, 'al
ways reading, and searching along his
line of discovery. At times his friends
insisted upon him taking a rest from
books, as they felt he was endangering
his health and his mental faculties.
But he always returned to his work at
the earliest opportunity and pursued it
with deepest attention.
"Before going to the committee of
Congress, where he laid his informa
tion before the members, he had tried
long and hard to borrow funds with
which to perfect his work, but without
avail. He was always fearful that
someone might glean enough concern
ing his work to take from him the final
fruition of his plan, but Congress hav
ing granted a special protection and
provided a means to safeguard it, he
feels easier."

TACOMA, Wash., Nov. I. (Special.)
Leading clubwomen of Washington
were offered a. job today.
Pact is. they were nearly begged to
take it, and had they been skilled noth

in and out. in and out, all day long, on
the O. 1. breeches and overcoats which
his plant is making for the men of the
United States Army 10,000 coats and
5.000 breeches.
He laughingly said that he thought
it a shame to let 25 women get out of
his factory jobless, when the Army
needed clothes and he needed help and
couldn't get it. He even appealed to
their patriotic inclinations as an added
argument.
The women are making an industrial
survey to be used in connection with

LUMBER PRICES UP
Government to Pay $40 Thou
sand for Ship Material.
COAST NOT YET AFFECTED
Action so Far Is Confined to In
terests in South, but Shipping
Board Lets Xo Work on
Coast at Present Time.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. A general
increase of $5 a thousand in prices
the Government is paying for ship
building lumber was announced today
by the Shipping Board. The new price
will average about $40 a thousand.
Officials of the Southern Pino Emer
gency bureau, at a conference today
with Chairman Hurley, of the Shipping
Board, and Chairman Harris, of the
Federal Trade Commission, gave as
surance that the Government will have
no more difficulty in obtaining deliv
eries of ship timbers. The bureau will
hold itself responsible for the quantity
production.
To make available more timber for
shipbuilding, the War Trade Board has
placed an embargo on the export of
timber of large sizes.
The increased price to be paid for
shipbuilding lumber will not apply on
the . Pacific. Coast, for some time at
least, it is stated. It will become effec
tive. It is surmised, in the case of the
Southern pine . manufacturers, on ma
terial entering into new ships.
Southern shipbuilders pledged them
selves to build 100 ships for the Gov
ernment. This undertaking, it is said
locally, has now been completed and
it is believed the added $5 per thou
sand feet will apply as to new ship
construction.
On this Coast, for reasons not fully
understood here as yet, although un
settled labor conditions are assigned as
one of the prime causes, new contracts
for ships are not now being placed by
the Shipping Board. If new contracts
are given Pacific Coast builders, it is
regarded as probable increased prices
for lumber for ship building will apply
here.
A ruling has been requested by Pacif
ic Coast interests in regard to the em
bargo on ship timbers, so that it may
be known definitely upon what busi
ness a license by the Government will
be required.
KILBCKX RUNS INTO DOCK
Steamer Cleaves Astoria Wharf and
Punches Hole in Bow.
ASTORIA. Or.. Nov. 1. (Special.)
The steamer F. A. Kilburn, which ar
rived tody from Portland en route to
San Francisco, crashed into the San
born dock as she was making a landing.
She cut into the wharf a distance of
about 10 feet and stove a hole about
five feet square in her starboard bow
just above the water line. She will be
delayed, here until tomorrow for re
pairs. She is loading about 200 tons of
freight here and has a full complement
of passengers.
The Kilburn reached Astoria about 2
o'clock in the afternoon and it was
said following the accident that. Cap
tain Wayland, who had taken charge
of the vessel to dock her, ordered the
wheel hard a port and that the engine
was going astern. But the headway
was not checked on the ship and she
did not change her course; so she
struck the dock almost on the same
angle as she appeared to have had
when more than her length from the
dock.
Captain W. C. McNaught, surveyor
for the San Francisco Board of Marine
Underwriters, left Portland last night
so as to make a survey of the damage,
and it is believed that he will permit
work to be executed that will insure
her getting to sea today.
It was remarked in connection with
the accident that the Kilburn is on her
13th voyage under the flag of the
Emerald line, which Andy Mahony and
Tom Crowley, of San Francisco, or
ganized after purchasing the vessel and
her fleet-mate, the Breakwater, from
