Operation for Improvements Now
Urged ; Projects Requiring Grcat
cr Sams Inferred.
WASHINGTON May 19. Railroads
under Government operation this year
will spend nearly a billion dollars for
additions, betterments and equipment,
or approximately three times as much
as In any one of the last three years.
Total capital expenditures approved by
the railroad administration as an
nounced today are $937,961,318.
Of this bis sum 440,071,000 will be
.spent for additions and oetterme. ;,
euch as stations and other property im
provements; $479,686,000 for equipment,
cars and locomotives already ordered
through the railroad administration,
and $18,203,000 for track extensions.
The figures disclore Director-General
McAdoo's determination to let the rail
roads make many improvements which
they had neglected during: the last
three years, postponing all possible
projects requiring big expenditures. It
also is shown that the railroad admin
istration is not encouraging many ex
tensions of lines during the war emer
gency, and in some cases projects al
ready under way have been discon
tinued. Budgets Are Pared Down.
The railroad administration eliminat
ed $349. 247,000, or nearly one-fourth of
the proposals. In paring down the
budgets to this extent, the Administra
tion made it plain that most of its deci
sions are tentative.
In general, the Kastern trunk lines
were given generous sums for improve
ments and equipment to enable them
better to handle the great flood of
traffic to the Atlantic Seaboard for
movement to Europe. Part of the cap
ital necessary will be supplied by the
Government from the $500,000,000 re
volving fund of the railroad adminis
tration, although advances will be re
paid eventually by the individual rail
roads. Wherever possible, railroads will
finance their own enterprises, but the
railway administration may buy the
bonds or other eecurities issued. Ex
aminations of the roads' budgets had
been directed by Robert S. Lovett, chief
of the railroad administration, division
of capital expenditure, and John Skel
ton Williams, director of finance and
purchases.
New York Central Leads.
The figures made public today show
that the New York Central was given
$70,672,000, the biggest allowance and
practically all the road asked. Pennsyl
vania lines east, $64,488,000, and the
Pennsylvania west, $48,267,000. The
B. O. got $43,808,000; the Erie $24,593,

LOCAL OFFICIALS MYSTIFIED
Allowance for Northern Pacific Ter
minal Looks Big.
Officials of the Northern Pacific
Terminal Company said last night that
they could not conceive of a $285,000
appropriation being made for improve
ments of their terminal alone. There
is considerable trackage improvement
contemplated, they said, but its cost
could not possibly run into any euch
figure.
It was suggested that the Government
officials had in mind terminal improve
ments for all railroads running into
Portland instead of the Kortnern pa
cific Terminal Company alone. If this
should prove to be the case, the $285,
000 appropriation, tney Baid. would be
more in keeping with the betterments
planned locally for the current year.
Washington Officials Watch With
Interest Move Which Might Re
sult in War Declaration.
WASHINGTON, May 19. Announce
ment from Amsterdam of the deter
mination of the Dutch government to
dispatch three of its merchant vessels
to the East Indies under convoy of
Dutch warships has i roused keen in
terest in naval and diplomatic cir
cles here.
It Is believed this decision is likely
to bring rbout a situation that would
plunge Holland into the war. Inter
national law, officials pointed out to
day, fully warrants the dispatch of an
armed convoy by a neutral state on
the high eas to its own colonies, and
this was done by nearly all maritime
powers during the Napoleonic wars.
So far as the entente powers and Amer
ica are concerned, it is said that the
Dutch convoys would be treated with
all the consideration demanded by In
ternational law. But it is not prob
able that German submarine com
manders would act with any suc'.i con
sideration, as is indicated by their past
treatment of Dutch and other neutral
vessels. "
If a German naval commander at
tempted to search, sink or make prize
of any convoyed vessels, the Dutch
commander would be obliged to defend
them forcibly, and the first shot fired
would amount to a declaration of war,
in the opinion of off! jials here.

MANACLES GET MISPLACED
Ohio Sheriff Handcuffs Himself and
, "Danged Things" Stay On.
CHICAGO, May 19. The Sheriff of
Mendon, O. he was a little too excited
to give his name walked into a local
police station Saturday with his wrists
imprisoned in his own handcuffs while
a prisoner walked free at his side.
"I was on the train with this prls
oner, whom I got in Oklahoma, and I
wanted to show him these handcuffs
won't come off without the key and I
left my key in my raincoat and some
body 'lifted' it, and I was right, the
danged things won't ' come off," ex
plained the elderly Sheriff.
The police directed him to a place
where files are sold.

MAIZE BURNED FOR FUEL
Scarcity of Shipping Prevents Sale
of Bumper Crop.
BUENOS AIRES, May 19. The high
est quality of maize grown In Argen
tine for many years is being burned as
fuel. The scarcity of shipping pre
vents the sale at profitable prices. The

to the government's exhortations to till
the land.
The crop now is selling at $15.30 gold
a ton for use as fuel.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
UNDER GENERAL FOCH, May 19. I
rode out from the old positions with
the guns and boarded a troop train
which brought our battery by devious

both to the vision and the spirit. In

with this satisfaction the hours passed

Paris la Reached.
In fact, the blackjack game in the
officers' compartment had reached a
point ,where the battery commander
had garnered almost all of the French
paper money in sight when our train
passed slowly through the environs of
Paris. -
Other American troop trains had pre
ceded us, because where the railroad
embankment ran close and parallel to
the street of some nameless fauborg
our appearance was met with cheers
and cries from a welcoming regiment
of Paris street gamins, who trotted
beside the slow-moving troop train and
shouted and threw their hats and

BEGINNING WE MUST SAVE OUR
STATE TREASURER RAGE CLOSE
Upstate Vote Favors Ryan,
With Hoff Just Behind.
ADAMS IS ELIMINATED
Count Outside Multnomah, Vet In
ported. Threaten to Pull Johns'
Lead Down and' May Wipe
It Out Altogether.
Two nominations on the Republican
state ticket still remain in doubt Jus
tice of the Supreme Court and State
Treasurer. For Supreme Court the
nomination lies between Charles A.
Johns and Percy R. Kelly, with indi
cations that the official count will dis
clone nearly a tie vote. John S. Coke
will run a close third.
For State Treasurer the nomination
lies between O. P. Hoff and Thomas F.
Ryan. Here, too, it may require the
official count to determine the result,
although indications are clearer than
in the judgeship contest. It appears
that Mr. Ryan will be nominated by
a small plurality. The plurality of
501S given William Adams in Mult
nomah County has been much more
than offset by the larger vote accord
ed his opponents up-state.
tscoasted Vote I'.T.ra Kelly
The figures, so far as returned from
counties outside of Multnomah, give the
following totals on Supreme Judge:
Kelly. 15.834.
Johns, SS93.
Coke, 14,243.
Kelly's lead over Johns, 5941.
But in Multnomah County, which Is
not included in the foregoing, Johns
had a lead over Kelly of 8328. The
Multnomah County figures are com
plete, while those in the remainder of
the stjK are not. A continuing, ratio
in favor of Kelly upstate will cut fur
ther into Johns present net lead over
Kelly of 2387.
Plurality of 2uO Indicate!.
Just what proportion of the up-state
vote remains unreported cannot be told
definitely, but if it be assumed that the
same proportion of voters went to the
polls in other counties as in Multnomah,
and that same proportion of those who
went to the polls voted the judgeship
ticket, there are about 14,500 votes, yet
to count.
If that is a correct estimate and if,
of that remainder, the candidates con
tinue to receive the same proportion of
the vote they received in the earlier
count, Johns will have a total in the
entire state, including Multnomah, of
about 28,100; Kelly a total of 27,900,
and Coke a total of 26,100. That is a
plurality for Johns of only 200.

gonlan yesterday that Charles W. Gale,
a Portland man. had been saved, hur
ried to Portland to learn the fate of

Mr. Ball's son, Robert Ball, in com
pany with Len Hopkins, of Corvallls.
and Murlce McFadden. also of Cor

TURKS THREATEN BRITONS
Regulars and Kurds Reported Ad-
vancing in Persia.
MOSCOW. May 11. (By the Associ
ated Press.) Turkish regulars and
Kurds, advancing in Persia, have occu
pied Loujbulak and Ushnu, south of
Lake Urmia, according to newspaper
dispatches from Tlflls. A dispatch from
Tabrla says that the Turks" objective
is Enzeli, which will become the cen
tral base from which the British will
be menaced in Mesopotamia.
Recent dispatches from the. Mesopo
taraian front have reported a British
advance up the Tigris River to Kirkuk,
after considerable fighting with the
Turks. Enzeli. which lies to the east
ward of Kirkuk. may indicate an at
tempt by the Turks to attack the Brit
