COAST MEN GATHERED HERE Steady Work Needed to rrevent Shipyard Industry From Col lapse, Is Pica Made. "What is expected to have an impor tant bearing- on the restoration of can celed contracts, as well as on new and larger types of ships contemplated by the shipping board, was a. meeting last night between Portland steel shipbuild ers and governrnent officials, principal among them being Robert L. Hague, manager of the construction and repair division- of the division of operation. Mr. Hague arrived yesterday from Washington, and at the same time came Controller Reed of the San Fran cisco district, Captain Pillsbury, gen eral manager of the California district for the emergency fleet corporation, as well as H. K. Frick. the new manager of the northwestern division, embrac ing Washington and Oregon on steel construction, and D. M. Callas, assist ant manager at Seattle. They were I met by Kred B. Pape, assistant man ager In charge of the Oregon zone, and spent most of the day visiting plants and discussing conditions with the builders. Mr. Hague and the builders met last night to go into details of new work. The division of construction and repair was formed last year as an adjunct of the division of operation, and it has steadily attained greater importance in relation to new snip work, so it is said ultimately that department may suc ceed to the work of the emergency fleet corporation. The steel builders of the Pacific coast are to gather at Washington Friday for a conference with Edward N. Hur ley, chairman of the shipping board. They are determined to impress on Mr. Hurley the dire need for immediate ac tion for the restoration of ships re cently cancelled as the only means of temporarily carrying on work in the yards, that action to be followed with out delay by orders for steamers of the 12,000-ton type. With that assistance it is felt contracts can be successfully negotiated with foreign owners, and such a programme will avert the nec essity for closing down the plants. Acw Steamer JLine Announced.

Wash- May IB lr.M l As a result of a special meeting of the port commision the steamships West Helix and .Mciwu Maru, which tha port had threat ened to hold until wharfage charges due on their cargo waS paid, will be allowed to sail. The railroad administration has guaranteed to pay tne cnarges. Laptain H. C. Hansen, Jr.. a steamship man of Porsgrund, Norway, is here on busi ness for the Porsgrund Motor and Sailing Ship company, which has several vessels on this coast. The foreign trade bureau of the chamber of commerce has urged the port commis sion to reduce its wharfage charges 50 per cent in a letter just received bv the com mission. The wharfage figured in the port's schedule is now :;o cents and the chamber or commerce bureau says that this has been reduced to 15 cents by the wharves at both Vancouver and' San Krancisco. The proposal will probably be the subject of a conference between the commission and the bureau at an early date. .II?AIS HARBR"ash.. May 16. (Spe cial.)

WOMAN ENTERS POLITICS Argentine SuffragistsCandidate for Chamber of Deputies. BTJENOS AIRES. Dr. Julieta Lanterl de Renshaw, whose hat is in the ring as a candidate for the national chamber of deputies at Buenos Aires, is said to be the first Argentine woman to enter politics thus actively. La Prensa gives a fe wextracas from her manifesto and platform: "In fulfillment of an inescapable duty I have the honor of announcing my candidacy as national deputy. Long hoars of meditation have proved to me that the moment is opportune, that the country demands it and that I am pre pared for it. Since the year 1910 wom en have proclaimed their rights and those of children and recognized their duties in an international women's con gress, of which I was the founder. Aside from, this assembly, I founded the League for Women's and Children's Rights and this brought together the first Xtional Child Welfare congress, held in 1913, at which worth-while opinion in this country demonstrated its lofty sentiments in behalf of mother and child. The American Child Wel fare congress, whose organizer and president I was, bore over all America these same sentiments as manifested here in 1916. "One after the other civilized nations are recognizing women's rights. Latin America will do this shortly. Our coun try responds incomparably to this world current. It knows that the glory of its future in as much in the hands of its women as its men. For that rea son I say 'My country demands it.' I know and Argentina knows that I am prepared to defend to the utmost the interests of my sex. My studies, my reforms and my achievements prove it. I have tried to comply with my civic duties. I have voted twice in municipal elections in this capital. As for my platform: "Legislation Universal suffrage lor both sexes. Civil equality for both sexes. Civil equality for legitimate and illegitimate children. Recognition of the mother as functionary ofthe state. State guardianship for orphaned and destitute children. Absolute divorce. "Labor Maximum six-hour day for women. The same salary for the same work. Extension of the regulation of female and child labor. Old-age pen sions and pensions for ever yemploye. Exemption with salary ' for working women during confinement. "Education and law Coeducation in the professions, ares, business and farming. Separate facilities for weak, blind and. deaf and dumb children. Re formatory colonies for wayward, back ward and delinquent children. Re form of adult convicts by means of in dustrial colonies. Abolition of the death penalty. Children's courts. "Social hygiene Creation of a coun cil for the amelioration and prophy laxis of infectious diseases. Protection of life. Sanitariums for inebriates. Abo lition of the sale, manufacture and in truductlon of alcoholic drinks. "Representation of minorities in the national, provincitl and municipal re gime." LIQUOR STILL IS SEIZED Raisin Mash and Quantity of Whisky Taken by Officers. DETROIT, Mich. Inspectors for the state food and drug department, work ing under Chief Inspector John B. Dow ney of the Wayne couirty forces, seized a still, several barrels of raisin mash and a number of gallons of white whis ky on the farm of John Orlich of De troit. inChesterfteld township, Macomb county. Chief Inspector Downey became con vinced that liquor was being brought to Detroit from Mount Clemens. In spectors started for the farm of Roda Kovchavich, on the Hall road outside of Mount Clemens. They met Kovacha vich driving into Mount Clemens with a load of mash. Obtaining a search warrant, they returned with him to his farm, where they found five barrels of raisin mash and 41 quarts or white whisky. From there they went to the Orlich farm, where they found the still. It was made out of a copper kettle with a copper cover and worm attached. Eight barrels of raising mash and three-fourths of a barrel of raisins were discovered near the still. Kovachavich, Joe Pejakovich, John Orlich and John Malus were arrested. Kovachavich and Pejakovich were taken before Justice Johns of Mount Clemens, where they pleaded guilty to operating the still in violation of the Wiley law. Orlich and Malus pleaded not guilty. All four men were bound over to the Macomb circuit court. The case will be reported to the federal authorities UNCLE SAM IS GENEROUS Personal Property Iost in Military Service to Be Replaced. WASHINGTOX. Have you lost any proviate property in the military serv ce? If so, a recent decision Dy tne controller of the treasury will be of interest. Officers, nurses and enlisted men are named as being entitled to re covery of the value of the articles of private property lost or destroyed, while in quarters, in the line of duty. In case the quartermaster can sup ply articles in kind to replace those lost or destroyed, he is authorized to do so by order of the commanding of ficer, but if adequate replacement can not be made their value will be com muted.

ANTISEPTIC CHANGE GIVEN New York Restauranleur Polishes t"p Money Every Day. NEW TORK. New Tork has a rest aurateur who is giving out what he calls "antiseptic money" for change. The money used for change is put through a silver polishing machine each day and then placed in an anti septic solution before given to patrons. "It is not a germ theory," says the restaurateur. "This idea is merely one of cleanliness. One can look at a horse and is not necessarily kicked. The restaurant man who makes clealiness his cornerstone is bound to prosper." Ketchikan; Persia kong. EUGENE TUCK DEATH STARTS JURY PROBE Witnesses Called to Testify at Monday's Session. VISIT TO PRISONER DENIED Apparent Attempt of Officials to "Wash Hands of Matter" De plored by Sheriff. Though no session of the Multnomah county grand jury was held yesterday, subpenas were Issued to insure the ap pearance before that body Monaay or aall persons having knowledge of the reatment received by Eugene tusk at tthe city and county jails, in an inves- igation of the charges that lack of medical attention while in the custody of the police was a' direct cause of Tuck's death last Wednesday. City Health Officer Parrish. City Physician Ziegler, Police Captain Jen kins. Inpectors Wright and Gordon. As- istant County Physician O. A- Hess, Deputy Sheriffs F. M. Tichenor and Andy Cameron, S. F. Westover, f. M. Murphy, Vaughn Kearns and R. Mitch- 11 are among those summoned. ihe ast four named are friends of the dead man who attempted to see him when he was in the city jail. It is not un likely that the grand jurors will make personal inspection of the city ana county jails and the emergency nos pitaal operated in connection with the ity jaiL Whitewash Method Scored. Sheriff Hurlburt took exception yes- erday to the statement isued by Dr. Parish to the effect that the man was n no serious condition before re moved to the country jail. The sheriff s of the opinion that Tuck was almost dying when his removal was ordered to the county jail, where there are no hospital facilities and dislikes what he terms the apparent desire of the city authorities to "wash their hands of the matter the moment the sick man was ransferred from the city Jail." John A. Col'ier. attorney for Tuck, reiterated his contention that the sick an had received the most cursory and unsatisfactory examination at tne hands of Drs. Parrish and Ziegler at the city jail the day before his oeatn. 'Nothing was done wnicn possioiy could have led to the discovery that Tuck was suffering from pneumonia or a disease leading to pneumonia," de- lared the attorney. "I was present during the entire examination, and the physicians merely asked Tuck to walk back and forth while they looked at him as he staggered." Visit to Prisoner Denied. ?Cw litrht was thrown on the affair yesterday by the assertions of P. M iviurnhv and R. Mitchell, who en- rleavored to see Tuck at the city jail it Saturday afternoon, shortly alter he had been placed behind the bars. We went to the jail ana asKea ir we Tniarht see Tuck." said Murphy. "Well I don't think that you can see him. He is in a hell of a shape and is being neta for investigation,' one of the jailors told us. When we repeated our re quest, he said, "No, I don't think you can see him until at the inquest. I guess they're giving him a couple of degrees.' We called Sunday by tele phone but were not permitted to see the prisoner. We saw mm at tne in quest Monday night. "Weasked him how he felt, .fretiy tough,' he told us. He said he had asked for a doctor several times, but had not been allowed to have one. He had not had anything to eat since being taken to Jail. 'They brought me po tatoes and stuff, but when a fellow's sick he can't eat that kind of stuff,' be said." Physician Delays Call. ' Mitchell said he had seen Tuck at the county jail Tuesday afternoon and that he told Jailer Roy Kendall that Tuck was very sick and ought to see a doc tor. He said he told the jailer that if he would not get a doctor, he (Mitch ell) would get one himself. - He was assured that a doctor would be forth coming. When Dr. O. A. Hess was finally reached that evening, the phy sician put off coming until the next morning. He arrived about three-quar ters of an hour after being again called for Wednesday morning, to find Tuck dead. Dr. Hess explained that he had thought Tuesday night that he was being asked to see another men whom he had treated and who, whe. knew, was not in a serious condition. CANADA BIDS FDR TRADE GREAT EXPANSION- IN EXPORTS FORECAST. Operations In Foreign Field Directed by "Well Organized System of Commissioners. PARIS. (Correspondence of the As sociated Press.) Canada is in the midst of an energetic campaign for foreign trade which, from results thus far now achieved, bids fair shortly to push her peace-time exports up to unprecedented figures. On armistice day Canad's for eign commerce, outside of that In war materials, -was virtually at a standstill, because of lack of shipping facilities and the conditions imposed by war. To day, five months later, the volume of her peace-time trade is said, to be equal to that before the war, and the receipts to be greater. Canada s exports in 1914 were valued at approximately $430,000, 000. As Sir George Foster. Canadian min ister of trade and commerce, who is in Paris, pointed out to the correspond ent of the Associated Press, the foreign field for Canadian activities is virtually without limit. The difficulty which is being encountered is the inability of European countries to pay for goods, although they are anxious to get them. Canada already has granted credits of $25,000,000 each to Belgium, Greece. Ru mania and France, making a total of $100,000,000. Other credits are under discussion. Large advances also have been made to the mother country to enable her to pay for products for her self and her allies. Canada is operating in the foreign field through a well-organized system of trade commissioners. This has been supplemented by a trade mission in London and a branch mission in Paris. This machinery is designed to get into close and quick touch with European necessities with a view to placing Can ada's natural and industrial resources at the service of the countries over here for reconstruction. The results thus far achieved have given rise to great optimism in regard to Canada's immediate future in trade. A. large part of Canada s war-time industries are said to be convertible for peace-time manufactures. Canada's war industries were, as a matter of fact, really an organization of her peace facilities.. Sir George Foster estimates that the losses which will be sustained in the conversion will be a minimum. Coupled with the quick return to peace conditions industrially has been the successful working out of the de mobilization scheme for the troops. These men are rapidly being absorbed into their old occupations. All the Canadian troops remaining on this side will be back home in about two months, it is stated, ready to take up their pie war work. EASTER KEPT AT HONOLULU East and West Meet in Mid-Pacific in Celebration. HONOLULU, t. T. A bugle at Fort Armstrong down by the wharf sounds reveille. A breeze waif from nowhere stirs the flaming poinclana blossoms by the old house near the library, and sends a shower of thick white petals down from a jasmine bush, filling the air with heavy fragrance. On the Palace grounds, under the coco-palms and monkeypods. self-opinionated rny nah birds shrilly dispute possession of the grass with barefooted Jap anese children, who, early as it Is, are already at play. A pleasant discord of bells, from churches whose gray crosses rise above the deep green of the trees, calls" wor shippers to mass and to early commun ion. The streets converging at the begin ning of the trail up Punchbowl are alive with people, all on their way to Laster sunrise service at the crater where once the Fire Goddess Pele ruled supreme. . The parson, Bible In hand. comes out and falls In line. It is a queer procession, vari-colored. mulmulti-featured, babel-voiced, but in htat bizarre setting into which it bo perfectly fits it does not look queer. In Hawaii the unconventional becomes the formal, the non-conformist is the orthodox and the unusual is the typi cal. There the east and west meet, join hands and change places. There the temperate zone mates with the tor rid, and the offspring, partaking of the nature of both, belongs to neither. The exotic is the natural. In the long pro cession there are Buddhists. Methodists. Shintoists, Bantists. Taoists. Presby terians, Mohammedans, Campbellites and Theosophists. And intermingled with them all are those whose an cestors a hundred years ago climbed this same old extinct volcano to wor ship wooden idols enshrined exactly where the parson will soon stand to tell of Christ's resurrection from the dead. The summit is reached, 500 feet above the city. "He is risen! He is risen!" shout a thousand voices, just as the sun flings a coppery blaze of color over the east. A little while and the simple, beau tiful service is over, and, following the benediction, the congregation breaks up into laughing groups, and starts oh its scramble down the moun tain side. PAIR STAGE BOUT IN HOME Battle Between Conductor and Wife Described to Judge. EAST POINT, Ga. A. O. Allen, a street-car conductor, and his wife staged a prize fight at their home In this city recently, though the ringside was minus velvet ropes and reslned floors.

In the first round Mrs. Allen clamed they clinched ana leu across a aaven port. Mrs. A. executed a foot move ment and kicked Mr. A. across the room. He was up before the count, sparring for time.

She went down for the count of five, but was quIcKiy on her feet again and let loose a iusii lade of knives and forks. Mr. A. retaliated with a lamp snaae and a volume of Shakespeare.

ROOSEVELT ' ALSO TALKS Soldier Son of ex-President Re counts Incidents) on Fightings Line In France. NEW TORK. Concrete suggestions s to how the 4,000,000 men who are to e returned, to civil life with demobil- zation can be absorbed Into industry were made the other day to the mem bers of the Brooklyn chamber of com merce by Arthur Woods, police com missioner durinar Mavor Mitchel'a ad ministration, later colonel In the per sonal section of the signal corps and ow assistant to the secretary of war. recting co-operation between the war department and the department of labor obtaining employment for ex- soldiers. Three hundred members crowded the organization's rooms and accorded an ovation to Colonel Woods and Lieuten- nt-Colonel Roosevelt, who also spoke. President J. Sherlock Davis of the chamber of commerce pledged the sup port of the Brooklyn body to Colonel Wood's plan of action by business men hrough the various commercial organ izations. Colonel Woods told the Brooklyn business men that the efforts of cham bers of commerce and similar bodies. when carried out energetically, have already been successful in placing large umbers of men in suitable positions. "Sabe Job or Better One. This is what I want you gentlemen to do." he said, "get in touch with these soldiers. If they are Brooklyn men. go o their former employers and find out why they are not re-employed. If their old employer is no longer in business r if re refuses to re-employ a man. go ut among your own members and see that that man gets as good job as he ad before he went away, or a better one. "In Omaha. Neb., Colonel Woods said. this plan has resulted in placing not only every soldier who has so far eturned to that city, but in finding positions for more than 1200 men from other places as well. He cautioned his hearers that the men who are return ing have gone through a soul-searching xperience which has changed them. even though they themselves are un conscious of the change, and that there is need for patience on the part of em ployers. We must realize." he said, "that if hese men seem unsteady, if they seem undecided, if they don't settle into the old groove quickly, that it is because hey gave themselves to the uttermost for us that we might live in peace and security. We must be patient with hem; we must help them in every way that we can. They don't want to be patronized, they don't want to be moth ered, they don't want charity; they want a chance to fit somewhere in the scheme of life so that they can do some thing worth while." They ask nothing more from the government than the government can properly give to men who were taken out of civil life and plunged into war and who in that war wielded their arms so magnificently that they won for the country peace. They are full of am bition, for the American without am bition is no longer an American. They are better men for their experience, and their ambition is the most precious thing about them." Kooaevelt "Lived Up to Name. In introducing Lieutenant - Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, H. V. Kaltenborn, assistant managing editor of the Brook lyn Eagle, who presided, said that Colo nel Roosevelt had the hardest job in Amerlcat the job of living up to his name. "He has done it so far," Mr. Kaltenborn said, "and we believe that he will continue to do it." Colonel Roosevelt said that he would try to sketch a few incidents in the experience which had produced in the returning soldiers the new point of ew alluded to by Colonel Woods. He described the routine of a combatant unit in the rest area and under fire, and related incidents of his personal ob servation of the behavior of the new American army. The men who made np that army were thoroughly and com pletely Americanized, he said, and they were also democratized. Chauffeur Was the Good.. "One day." Colonel Roosevelt said, a call came for a chauffeur for our gen eral, vv e wanted to get a really good man and so volunteers were asked for and the men who stepped out were questioned as to their experience. One of the men who had not volunteered came to me and said that he thought Corporal Jones of his squad was one of the best chauffeurs in the army; he he doubted if a better one could be found anywhere. 'How do you know 7" I asked. ' 'Why. air.- the man answered. he was my chauffeur at home for over two years." " Colonel Roosevelt also said that in arranging parades and welcome for the returning troops ha hoped that it would be remembered that the men who. re turned from Europe later were just as deserving of a hearty welcome as the men who returned first.

As a result of the successful opera tion of a small silk farm which was established near Austin several years ago. Dr. V. K. Oslgian and associates have enlarged their enterprise by the purchase of a 1000-acre tract of land, situated at Houston Terminals, near Houston, which they are planting in mulberry trees for the production of silk. Incorporated under the name of the Austin Silk Plantation & Manufactur ing company, with a capital of J500.000. Dr. Osigian and the men interested with him own and are operating the new silk farm. The stockholders are men who are prominent in the business and financial affairs of the state. The company has also purchased a site and adopted plans for a largo silk mill, which will be built and placed in operation. It is stated, when the cocoon production reaches a stage that will provide the necessary supply of raw silk. White- Mnlbenr I ed. White mulberr ytreea selected for the special purpose of giving the silkworms the kind of food they require for the silk liber they weave into cocoons, are being planted upon the 1000-acre farm. Upon each acre 200 of these white mul berry trees will be set out. They will have attained a growth the second or third year sufficient for a full supply of leaves for the worms'. The making of cocoons in great numbers will then proceed uninterruptedly, it is expected. In the meanwhile the silk farm at Austin will produce an abundant quan tity of eggs for the propagation of silk worms for stocking the new and larger plantation. The company now has on hand about 800 ounces of silkworm eggs. Each ounce contains about 40,000 eggs, making a total of 32.000,000 eggs that are available for providing a sup ply of worms for the new plantation. These will be multiplied many times over when they are permitted to hatch The present stock of eggs is kept in cold storage at a temperature of fid de grees or less. It is stated that they may be kept fertile in this manner for as long as 20 years. While the mul berry trees may be used for furnishing the silkworms with a food supply of leaves even the first year, they do not come into real commercial bearing until the second or third year. An Expert at Work. Dr. Oslgian is a practical silk grower of long years' experience. He was prominently identified with the Indus try in Armenia, of which country he is a native. Being forced to leave Arme nia on account of political troubles, he became identified with silk growing and manufacturing in other countries. He began his experiments producing cocoons near Austin with one acre planted to white mulberry trees. The first year he succeeded in harvesting six crops of cocoons, weighing 75 ounces; second year, six crops of co coons, weighing 225 ounces; third year. six crops of cocoons, weighing 6.5 ounces. This quantity was more than dou bled the fifth year. The total quantity of eggs from each crop was about one and a half ounces. Equally good re sults were obtained from the farm aa it was enlarged to embrace more acre age. t Is asserted by Dr. Osigian that as many as 21 crops of cocoons may D produced each year; that the industry, so far as Texas is concerned, has no natural enemy. The mulberry trees are of hardy, thrifty stock and are not af fected by frosts or insect pests. Besides operating its own silk farms the Austin Silk Plantation &. Manufac turing company is making a campaign for the private production of cocoons in the southern part of the state, where the climatic conditions are said to be Ideally suited for the industry. The claim is made by the company that the United States department of agriculture has given its indorsement of the new enterprise, after investigating the re sults of the experiments that were con ducted and the commercial possibilities of the industry. Farmers Will Be supplied. It Is the purpose of the company to provide mulberry trees for planting silkworm farms and to also supply the necessary original stock eggs. The) lat ter are furnished free of charge and the company agrees to purchase all cocoons produced by the farms at a price of 75 cents a pound. It is thought that a very large suplpy of raw silk will be coming from this source within the next few years.

MADE BT SCOTT B0WXC MAKERS OF SCOTT'S EMULSION ness are said to be very simple. Dr. Osigian says that when the eggs are laid they should be spread out thin ly -in ordinary cardboard boxes, or preferably on trays two and one-half or three inches deep, made of narrow strips fastened together and covered with cheesecloth. Thees trays may bt three feet by four feet in dimension and stacked in tiers or racks, one above the other. The boxes or trays containing the eggs should bo kept in a room of ordinary tempera ture, 75 to 85 degrees and the young. tiny worms will hatch in from flvo t eight days. As they hatch it is necessary te transfer them to another tray and feed tem young, tender mulberry leaves. The leaves are chopped up tine for tha baby worms. The silkworm is a vora cious eater and grows rapidly. Durlns; the 25 days of its life It increases In size 14,000 times. In a few days after being hatched the- worms aro largA enough to eat full-grown mulberry leaves. The silkworms are kept under sheHet all the time. The leaves are gatherer ones a day and placed In the trays for the worms to feed upon. It is a stay- at-home kind of insect and never at tempts to crawl out of the tray. Its prime object in life seems to eat its fill of mulberry leaves. In 25 days tha silkworm Is full grown, three to four5 inches long, and as large around as man's little finger. A few weeds, sacH as broom weed, pepper grass or simi lar vegetation, or even branches of trees, are placed in the trees at thla stage of the silkworm's development. IDAHO TO FIX UP SPRINGS Legislature Appropriates $33,000 for Building Purposes. POCATELLO, Idaho. Work immedi-4 ately is to get under way for the re habilitation of Lava Hot Springs, this county, insofar as the state's interests in the famous baths and medicinal plunges, is concerned. The last stato legislature appropriated $53,000 foe building purposes, as against the pre vious administration's $500 appropria tion. Last term the fund was used fo the purpose of erecting a house for tha superintendent. This season the fun 4. will go for general enlargement of buildings for the public, rebuilding o the side structures, reconstructing tha bathhouse proper, and the addition oC a building 90x112 feet, costing approxi mately $3S.00O, and worked out in the) shape of an "L." The temperature of the water of th upper pool Is very high, and as this pool has long tested curative proper ties for such ailments as rheumatism and kindred diseases, especial attention, will be taken to bring it again into use. It has been abandoned for the past three or four years, as funds were de nied by the Alexander administration for building purposes. Governor Davis, on the other hand, has approved the $53,000 fund and op erations will proceed with vigor. Tha new superintendent of the institution. W. L. Ash. took possession of the stats plant a few days ago. and will be as sisted in the programme by Jack Marshall, a local contractor, who has been appointed by the public welfare) commission to view the property for the commission, and to go ahead with actual construction work. This will not be done by contract, but by direct employment, as the state agent sees fit. The state's plans are entirely com pleted, and as Lava Springs has grown into a village of some proportions dur ing the past three years, and several institutions are in course of construc tion, including hotels, the state will en deavor to bring Its property Into popu larity and make it a place of enjoy ment for the public, as well as pro viding a spa of interest to the sick.
