Delegates Will Act in Dispute
Between Czechs and Poles.
PARIS, Jan. 51. (Havas.) President
"Wilson and the allied Prime Ministers
this afternoon considered the Balkan
problem, particularly the dispute be
tween the Serbians and Roumanians.
The commissions charged with examin
ing the labor problem, compensation
and damages shortly will begin their
work.
The inter-allied commission on Po
land met this morning and decided to
adopt a. draft report which will be sub
mitted to the conference committee.
The conclusions will be formulated by
M. Is'oulens.
Delegates Give Conclusions.
The full text of the official communi
cation issued this evening dealing with
the session of the supreme council fol
lows: "The President of the United States
of America, the Prime Ministers and
Foreign Ministers of the allied and as
sociated powers and the representatives
of Japan met this afternoon at 3
o'clock.
"The delegates of the great powers,
composing the inter-allied commission,
which will shortly proceed to Poland,
were Introduced to state the conclu
sions which they had reached after
hearing the representatives of Poland
and of the Czecho-Slovak republic re
garding the provisional exploitation of
the industrial district of Teschen.
. Delegation Will Leave.
"After listening to the reports made
by M. Noulens and by General Botha,
in the name- of their colleagues, the al
lied Ministers decided to send to Te
schen allied delegates for the purpose
of assuring a peaceful exploitation of
the industrial districts in agreement
with the Czechs and Poles, pending a
territorial settlement of the question
by the conference.
"A statement of the views of the re
spective interests and rights of Ron
mania and Serbia in the Banat of Tem
esvar was then heard. M. Bratiano and
M. Mishu represented the Roumanian
government and the Serbian delegation
was composed of M. Pachitch, M. Ves
xiitch and M. Trumbitch.
"The next meeting was fixed for to
morrow, Saturday, at 3 o'clock."
Americans to Stay Out.
Whatever forces may be sent to Tur
key for garrisoning purposes there will
(be no American troops among them, it
(developed today. It is pointed out that
heir use for this purpose would be in
appropriate, as the United states nas
u-i- been at war with Turkey.
The military committee of the su-1
preme council expects witnin two aajs'
to report a plan for the allotment
among the various nations of the troops
be retained on the western front.
yt appears that by April 1, there will
Ibe 15 American Divisions remaining
'on the lines, with five divisions ready
for embarkation homeward. A month
! later it expected this aggregate
. vjil be reduced by live divisions, oi
v'whlch 10 will be on the line and five
reaay io return.
The length of the stay in France of
these 10 divisions depends upon the
time of the signing of the general
peace treaty. It is said that as soon
as that occurs all the American troops
probably will be withdrawn.
Protectorates to Be Provided.
The agreement reached by the allied
council of 10 on the colonial ques
tion, says a Havas Agency statement
today, provides that territories which
are sufficiently civilized to give an
expression of their wishes as to the
form of their government will be per
mitted to set up such a government
under the auspices of the league of
nations, obtaining either national in
dependence or living under a protec
torate of one or other of the great
powers. Arabia and Mesopotamia are
considered to be examples of this class.
In the cases of the peoples insuf
ficiently developed for self-government
the league shall choose the power most
suitable to govern, under certain guar
antees to be fixed either by the peace
conference or the league. Provisionally
the African and the Far Eastern colo
nies shall be left as they are now, in
control of the powers now occupying
them.
As regards Asiatic Turkey, the state
ment adds, the four great powers are
to undertake its administration at once

Wilson Sticks to Views.
In the discussions concerning the
disposal of the former German colonies,
President Wilson contended in no un
certain terms that to divide the col
onics among the entente nations would

teen points" wJiich were accepted as a
I basis of peace. Such a division, he is

"WASniNGTON, Jan. 31. Immediate
consideration by Congress of a- De
partment of Justice measure providing
for the deportation of aliens interned
during the war and those convicted of
war offenses against the United States
was urged today by Representative
Burnett, of A la Bam a. chairman of the
House immigration committee, in ask
ing the rules committee to give the
legislation a. privileged status for ac
tion in the House.
"The immediate Importance of this
measure," declared Mr. Burnett, "is that

people will have to be discharged and

try.' Action on the question was post
poned until next week by the rules
committee.
SENATE ACTION PROTESTED
Professor Frederick Bushee Ex
presses Ills Loyalty to Nation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Professor
Frederick A. Bushee, of the University
of Colorado, in a letter read to the Sen
ate today by Senator Thomas, of Colo
rado, protested against the presents,
tion of his name to the Senate commit
tee investigating German propaganda
by Archibald Stevenson in a list of men
whom Stevenson said held radical and
pacifist views. Professor Bushee said
he had been strongly pro-ally from the
beginning of the war and that he held
views about as radical as those of
President Wilson. He added:
"The Senate has no business to per
mit names to be printed as suspicious
when they know no more about them
than they do about me."
SON OF T. R. AIDS ARREST
Captain Archibald Helps Policeman
Capture Robber.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31. Captain Archi
bald Roosevelt, son of the late Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, aided a policeman
today in capturing an alleged robber
after a street chase in which the pa
trolman shot and wounded Frank Mar-
cello, the man pursued.
Several armed men had held up a
Columbus-avenue Jeweler in his 6tors
and were escaping with jewelry when
the policeman commandeered a passing
automobile and gave chase. There was
an exchange of pistol shots and Mar-
cello fell wounded, but, fought when
the officer came up. Captain Roosevelt,
who was mailing a letter nearby, aided
in subduing him.
POLICE STOP ROOF FLIGHT
French ATlalor Prevented From Fly
ing From Paris Building.
PARIS, Thursday, Jan. 30. The po
lice today refused to permit James Ve-
drines, the aviator, to attempt a return
flight from the roof of the galleries
Lafayette, on which he landed in an
airplane on January 19. The airplane
was taken apart and the pieces brought
down by elevator.
' By landing on the roof of the gal
leries Lafayette, Vedrines won a prize
of 25.000 francs for being the flrct air
man to land on a roof of a house while
in flight. The roof was 62 by 75 feet,
while the ariplane used by Vedrines
was
36 feet in width.
WAR CONTRACTS PROBLEM
Senate and House Conferees Under
take Difficult Task.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. Senate and
House conferees on legislation to vali
date and settle informal war contracts
aggregating about $2,750,000,000 will
begin work tomorrow and expect con
siderable difficulty in harmonizing wide

by the two bodies.
Controversy apparently will center
on the Senate provision for an appel
late commission to supervise awards.

LIFE HISTORY IS RECITED
Several Persons Testify Regard Ins
Condition. of Defendant's Mind '
While in Grasp of Drink.
After J. Henry Albers had taken the
stand in Federal Court yesterday and
had firmly announced his innocence of
the crime of sedition with which he
was charged: had insistently pro
claimed that he had never made, un
der any circumstances, any of the pro
German utterances with which he is
charged, and had asserted his belief
that he was the victim of a conspiracy.
United States Attorney Haney threw
a bombshell Into the camp of the de
fense by asking Mr. Albers whether he
had ever been a stockholder In the
Nachrichten, a German newspaper of
Portland.
Mr. Albers asserted that while he
had been a stockholder, he was not at
this time.
Newspaper Stock Is Sold.
"When did you sell your Btock?" de
manded Mr. Haney.
"Maybe a month or three weeks ago,
replied Albers.
Insistently, Mr. Haney urged Mr. Al
bers to admit that he had made bets
that Germany would "win the war,"
lick the world," and other profes
sions of a confidence in the ultimate
victory of that country.
Just as insistently Mr. Albers de
nied.
"Did you not bet with Jack Noyes
and Mr. Cushin? along the lines I
have Indicated?" Mr. Haney queried.
Mr. Albers replied: "No."
"I don't want to trap you, Mr. Al
bers," said Haney. "I want to be per
fectly fair with you. Rc'resii your
memory. Did you never bet concerning
the arrival of the Germans in Paris, or
the fact they could 'lick the world.'"
Once more Mr. Albers asserted "No."
Alleged Wager Is Recalled.
But a few minutes later Mr. Haney
called to the witness stand Horace A.
Cushing, manager of Lilly & Co., who
said he had had a conversation with
Mr. Albers concern'ng the war.
"What was that conversation?"
"He offered to bet mc $1000 t 50

Influence Upon Community of

FRIENDS PAY FINAL HONORS
ScrrK-e for Pioneer and Vpnnlldrr
of Oregon Country Held at
Scottish Rtc Cathedral.
The lasting worth of one life, well
lived, not alone In Its material ad
vantage to tne community, but in
the lessons of fortitude, courage and
high idealism that It bequeaths, was
portrayed in. simple eloquence yes
terday at the funeral service to
Henry L. Pittock. held in the Scot,
tish Kite Cathedral. when Htv.
T. L. Eliot, pastor emeritus of tho
First Unitarian Church, spoke in trib
ute to his friend's memory.
The cathedral chapel was filled
with citizens of Portland and Ore
gon, many of them friends of pio
neer days, met at the last rites for
the pioneer publisher of the Pacific!
Northwest, and the friend and fellow
citizen so long associated with the
building of the commonwealth of
Oregon. Briefly beautiful, the serv
ice opened at 5:30 o"clock. with
Scriptural readings by Dr. Eliot.
Para He of Sower la Text.
For a portion of his text Dr. Kliot
took the parable of the sower, whose
seed fell hither and thither as he cast
it. some upon stony ground and some
to perish by drought. "But others
fell into good ground and brought
lunn iruit. some a nundred-fold. some.
sixty-fold, some thirty-fold
In a striking parallel, the ltjrn'
of Dr. Kliot's tribute rested upor. 'his
description of a stone in St. Paul's
Cath.-dral. London, dedicated to the
memory of one wl.o served long nd
well, and bearing the inscription
"Reader, if you seek his monument,
look around."
"And I ask you. dear friends." said
Dr. Kliot. "has there ever been any
one in our city for whom we could
say these words more truly, or with
a greater swelling of pride? If you
seek a monument for Henry L. Pittock.
look around."
I.CMaoa Drawn From Life.
Affirming his belief In the "great or
der and fellowship of service." toward
which both church and civic institu
tions are working in common purpose,
rr. Kliot gave Mr. Pittock's life as an
illustration of the principle and ideal of
such service.
"I believe that we "are here today,"
said lr. Kliot. "with a feeling that our
brother was a leader and an exemplar,
more than I can tell you, of the brother
hood of man."
He touched upon the fact that Mr.
Pittock was born in London, and that
both of his parents were of Kentish
descent, asking his hearers If they re
alized what potentialities that heritage
possessed what Kent stands for In the
history of Kngland and civilisation.
Their coast was the beach for the In
vasions of the Gauls, the Vikings, the
Teutons and the Romans, and their
swords the bulwark.
, "The men of Kent, as Wordsworth
well describes them," said Dr. El!ot,
"were the vanguard of liberty. "
Ploaeer Spirit Praised.
From such a heritage, eid the
speaker, it is reasonable to assume, .n
keeping with the knowledge of hered
ity's laws that Henry L. Titiock re
ceived the clarity of conception, te
nacity of purpose, deep piety and love
of right that characterized his life.
"The impression has come upon me
very deeply," he declared, "that it is
out of the heredity of such a people
and such a stock that we had Henry
L. Pittock as a fellow citizen."
He spoke of the spirit that prompted
the emigration of the Pittocks from
England, of the same spirit that bent
their sons across the plains to Ore
gon, and of its indomitable quality in
the life of his friend. He sketched the
boy as he sought his first employment
in Portland, when he entered the rough
little shack that housed the plant of
The Oregon ian at that day.
"Can you not see him the same man
that worked for six months In order
to prove what was in
pioneering, holding constant!;' be
him the ideal of service., Mr. Pittock
left to himself a lasting monument,"
said Dr. Kliot, contrasting issues of
pioneer days with the newspa' cr of th
present.
"Mr. Pittock knew what the making
of a newspaper meant," said the
speaker. "A great ideal ever swam
before his eyes, leading him on to build
a true civic newspaper in the midst of
the community that he loved. As it is
today it is the monument of one of our
greatest and truest fellow citizens
who was a complex of strength and
gentleness.
"We are called upon to be makers
and creators and thinkers and tollers
in behalf of the progress of humanity.
