C. A. WORKER . RETCKXS
FROM RUSSIA.
Conditions Livable Despite Anarchy.
High Prices Is Largest
Drawback.
After two years spent among the
omen of Russia who have received
their first peep Into western civiliza
tion. Miss Elizabeth Bnyce. director of
the T. W. C A. in Russia, has returned
to America to remain for a year. She
spent Saturday at the home of her
uncle. H. U. Colton, 63S Market street,
and left last evening for San Francisco.
Her Journey west has been to choose a
physical director for the Russian field
and to start from Seattle four new
V. W. C A. secretaries for Vladivostok.
On her return to New York Miss Boyce
will assume her new duties with the
V. W. C A. as director of Russianwork
in America.
Miss Boyce arrived In Russia shortly
sfter the downfall of the old regime.
Through labyrinths of chaos and revo
lution she mas able, by sheer energy
and plui'k, to thread her way to the
women of the peasantry and of the In
dustrial centers, to whom she brought
the surcease of American recreation
and the' stimulus of education.
"There was hardly a time when we
were not facing a serious food short
age," said Miss Boyce yesterday. "We
could only horde what little foodstuffs
there were In sight which would tide
us over when supplies were cut off.
At one time we paid as much at J50
for six loaves of bread. The variety
of food was scant and the quality poor.
It was such a disappointment when
America sent such quantities of white
flour. The Russians had never eaten
white bread, and how they would have
enjoyed the substitutes that the Amer
lean people were trying so valiantly to
eat. '
Miss Boyce first opened her head
quarters in Pctrograd. During the
German 'nfcsasion a portion of the house
In which she was living was com
mandeered by German officers and she
was able only by clever strategy to
make her way to Moscow and to safety.
"For all the strife and revolution.
Petrograd and Moscow were fairly well
ordered." said Miss Boyce. "School i
were kept open, we attended the opera
many times and generally came and
went as we pleased."
Senator Chamberlain during his re
cent speaking trip to New York spent
a day inspecting Camp Dix and Camp
Merrltt. He was met at New York by
cieneral Shanks, who escorted him
through both of the camps.

LONDON. April SO. (Special Cable.)
The seizure of Shantung by the Jap
anese forms the text of a vigorous edi
torial in the Daily News, which points
out that the future not only of the far
east but of the whole world Is at stake.
"Today," says the Dally News. "Japan
is practically master of northern China
and potentially of much more. Unless
the peace conference can right this
colossal wrong, the Chinese will fall
like ripe fruit into the hands of the
Japanese to be exploited, developed
militarized by that engaging people.
"Is this thing to happen? If it does.
It needs no grea: effort of Imagination
to see to what goal it leads. It will
mean the closing of the vast resources
and inexhaustible markets of the far
east to the Kuropean and American
worlds.
"China belongs to the Chinese. Japan
has no more right in Shantung thui
we have. She must go. If self-determination
faas any sanctity at all and
the peace conference has any authority
at all. this matter must be settled with
uncompromising resolution. China de
mands the evacautlon of Shantung and
abrogation of the I'l points (in China's
treaty with Japan). This is China's
minimum demand, and its concession
is the capital duty of the conference.
Failure here would mean failure in
everything."

POULTRY RAISING STUDIED
Demonstration Farms In Southern
Oregon Making Progress.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis. April 20. (Special.)
That favorable progress is being
made by the poultry demonstration
farms in southern Oregon Is reported
by Professor C. S. Brewster In charge
for the poultry department of the col
lege. Some of these farms are now
established In different poultry dis
tricts of the state. for the purpose of
determining the cost of poultry and
egg production, and the best methods
of growing poultry under the various
conditions
It is expected that later a survey
m ill be made of the poultry industry in
Oregon, with the records of the demon
stration farms as some of the reliable
data. -
Still adhering to his refusal to tell
anything of his antecedents, R. J. Dar
by. 33. who- said a roODer had shot him
twice during an attempted holdup near
St, Johns Saturday, died yesterday at
the Good Samaritan hospital. Darby
lived at the Arlington hotel, at Sixth
and Flanders streets, where he regis
tered on April 3 from San r rancisco.
Mr. Darby appeared at the home or
w. L. Hogan. 1716 Chautauqua street.
about 2:30 P. M. Saturday, with two
bullet wounds in his body. He was in
an hysterical condition, and told
story of having been shot by a man
who had taken him to the woods near
Willis boulevard and Washburn streets
to show him some lots.
The wounded man said he bad met
the supposed real estate dealer by an
swering an advertisement in a news
paper. The advertisement, which In
spectors Snow and Tackaberry have
identified as one run in The Oregonian
April 9. asked for a young man with a
(100 liberty bond to take a position
selling lots for a wage of $30 a week.
Advertisement Ia Identified.
Mr. Darby said he wrote an answer
to the advertisement, and in answer to
a telephone cr.U met the advertiser in
the Y. M. C. A. lobby. The two Jour
neyed to St. . ohns by street car, ac
cording to Darby, and during the trip
the stranger, who had introduced him
self as Mr. Coy, asked if Mr. Darby had
the bond with him. Mr. Darby replied
that hs had It Peaching Chautauqua
street, the pair descended and walked
to the woods. Mr. Darby said he was
in front of his companion, when with
out warning the stranger shot him. He
said the man fired four shots, one tak
ing effect in his neck and another in
his tack. Darby disarmed the robber,
he said, and fled through the woods to
the Hogan residence.
Darby refused to tell police where
he had lived before coming to Portland,
saying he did not wish his family to
know of the shooting. He maintained
the same attitude at the hospital, and
went to the operating table to have the
bullets removed without telling the
nurse whom to notify In case he died.
He died during the operation.
Note Found by Inspectors.
Inspectors Snow and Tackaberry last
night obtained from Mrs. W. L. Hogan
a note the wounded man had left with
her to be delivered to the authorities
in case he died- It read as follows: "In
case of death notify C. H. Davis, No. 2
Pear street, Niptic. Conn."
Darby cautioned Mrs. Hogan repeat
edly to 'say nothing of the message
he recovered. She turned the note ove
to the police when they told her Darby
was dead.
By searching baggage In Mr. Darby'
room in the Arlington hotel the po
lice obtained pictures of army scenes,
and one. of a cavalry sergeant, which
believed to be that of Air. Darby
himself.
One picture of a girl was marked.
"From your loving wife." Several snap
shots of the same girl showed her car
rying a baby. In his suitcase the of
ficlals found a letter of recommends
tlon written by E. H. Read of Fhila
delphia. Pa., on Racquet club stationery,
saying that R. J. Dickens had worked
six months for him as chauffeur and
was a worthy man.
Three Women Hear Shots.
Inspectors Craddock and Patrolmen
Gouldstone, Stram and fichad. who in
vestigated the shooting, first disbe
lieved Darby's story on account of this
refusal. Their theory was that a wom
an had been mixed up in tne airair, ana
that either the woman or some male
relative had fired the shots.
Further Investigation, however, sub
stantiated Darby's statement at least
n part. Mrs. M. J. Lenox, 183 Wash
burn street, a block or so distant from
the scene of the shooting, said Bhe had
heard two of the shots. Mesdames C.
H. Weeks and J. Bagwill. 481 Willis
boulevard, said they had heard the
shooting, and had seen Darby run out
of the woods shouting for help. The
two houses in which these women live
are on opposite sides of the spot where
the affray took place.
Following the directions indicated by
the women, police came upon the spot
where the shooting had occurred. The
ground was trampled as if by a strug
gle. Police looked in vain for a ham
mer, which Darby said he had taken
from his assailant and thrown away,
but decided that he must have carried
it a considerable distance.
Police consider these facts as ef
fectually disposing of the possibility
that Mr. Darby was the victim of a
disgruntled sweetheart.
With this evidence to substantiate
Darby's statement, police had no al
ternative except to take his asser
tions as true, however unlikely they
consider his contention that the robber
advertised for -an employe and then
shot him during an attempt to rob him
of a 100 liberty bond.
Mr. Darby's unexpected death on the
operating table yesterday leaves them
without a single clew, and even dubi
ous of his own statements.
