OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, May 29. Conferences today be
tween Pacific coast ehiiDbuilders and
the chipping board, hailed yesterday as
pointing to the immediate settlement of
the difficulties which western yards find
themselves in by reason of wholesale
contract cancellations, were disappoint
ing. It appeared that the overtures com
ing from the board yesterday , at the
public hearing for a get-together meet
ing today to effect a definite settlement
were only made to escape the search
ing cross-examination poured in upon
Chairman Hurley and his subordinates
by Pacific coast senators and repre
sentatives and the shipbuilders. "When
the shipbuilders met the members of
the board and the officers of the emer
gency fleet corporation today, they
found themselves facing the same cold,
uncompromising individuals with whom
t".-ey had tried so often before to nego
tiate. Bargain Prices Issne.
Freed from the pressure of senators
and members of congress to the left
and to the right as cn yesterday. Chair
man Hurley had resumed his charac
teristic adamant pose. The attitude of
Chairman Hurley and the other mem
bers of the board was that they were
ready to open negotiations, but they
were willing to do business only on
fire sale bargain prices.
The shipbuilders did not hesitate to
express their disappointment, as well
as to reveal openly their true senti
ment relative to Mr. Hurley. Some of
ihe shipbuilders were, however, in
i lined to the belief that President "Wil
son has probably tied Mr. Hurley's
hands, and that the blame should prop
erly be shifted to the "White House in
Europe; Most of the shipbuilders left
for New York tonight and will return
Monday, at which time a definite un
derstanding will be reached.
Bowles Deplores Stand.
J. Tt. Bowles of the Northwest Steel
company, Portland, Or., commentin
caustically on the day's events, said:
"There is a disposition on the part of
the shipping board to trade with the
builders and take advantage of their
necessities. They are not disposed to
consider matters fairly in view of the
contracts made and then taken away,
but are trying to drive the very best
bargains. They are trying to drive the
builders to the point where they must
refuse the contracts, and thus give Mr.
iturley an opportunity to say to con
gress and the people that the builders
are unreasonable, freeing the board in
that way or criticism. i
"It is a well-known fact that public
men like Mr. Hurley have access to the
first columns of newspapers, while the
shipbuilders' story is told behind closed
doors and published only in the home
papers. Mr. Hurley admitted yester
day that the yards in the Pacific coast
had been discriminated a gainst, un
justly, though unintentionally. He said
he Intended to correct the situation
immediately.
Situation Not HopefnI.
. "Conferences today of A. F. Smith of
the Columbia River Shipbuilding cor
poration, Portland: "William Cornfoot
of the Albina yards, Portland, and my

behind closed doors with Chairman
Hurley, John H. Rosseter, director of
operations for the board; J. L. Acker
eon, general manager of the emer
gency fleet corporation, and other offi
cials, were anything but reassuring.
"We were told that while the board rec
ognized the imperative necessity of ad
ditional contracts to keep these yards
going, there was no intention of reviv
ing more than half of the cancelled
contracts; and on these there was an
indicated purpose to dictate prices

"We therefore do not look for any

(By the Associated Press.)
The representatives of the allied and
associated powers at last have before
them the answer of Germany to the
terms of the peace treaty.
The reply of the Germans, consisting
mainly of counter proposals seeking
to lessen the severity of the allied
terms, will be considered by the mem
bers of the council of four, who will
digest the views of the enemy and re
port back their decision as quickly as
possible. This decision is to be final.
and Germany then will be compelled
either to sign or reject the treaty.
Allied Form Prepared.
In case of a declination to sign, Brit
ish, French and American troops are
prepared to take such steps as Marshal
Foch may deem necessary, while at sea
the blockade against Germany is ready
o be tightened again. A plan of the
allies to have Switzerland, in the event
of a refusal by Germany to sign, en
force a more severe blockade against
Germany. If necessary, is reported to
have failed, Switzerland claiming this
would infringe Swiss neutrality.
It had been believed possible that
Friday the terms of peace to Austria
would be ready for submission to the
representatives of the smaller nations.
This, however, has been impracticable
owing to the necessity to embody in
the treaty new agreement as regards
the Italian claim in the Adriatic re
gion. Nevertheless the envoys of the
smaller nations will hear the docu
ment read Friday, and it Is possible
that the early week will witness the
handing of the treaty to the authorities
at St. Germain.
Flume May Be Independent.
Unofficial advices concerning the set
tlement of the Adriatic issue are that
Fiume is to become independent. Italy,
report has it, is to obtain certain of
the Dalmatian islands, but whether
she is to get the seaports of Zara and
Sebenico on the Dalmatian coast seems
to be In doubt, one report declaring
that she will and others that she
will not.

Inquiry Shows Neither Financial
Difficulty ' Nor Moral Lapse.
Statement to Be Issued. i
CORVALLIS, Or., May 29. (Special.)
The official board of the Christian
church of this city is convinced that
its minister. Rev. J. Cronenberger, is
not drowned, as suspected last week.
The board will make an official state
ment to that effect tomorrow and will
give evidence which leads It to believe
that he has fled.
On Tuesday morning. May 20, the
minister went to the river in his auto
mobile, ostensibly to take a swim. As
he did not return, a searching party
was sent out in the afternoon. His car
and cloAies were found near the river
bank. The river was dragged for sev
eral days without result. Various ru
mors had circulated to the effect that
a number of people had seen the min
ister that day at various places. It
was ascertained tnat he had bought a
khaki coat at Albany. Other rumors
were investigated until the board be
came convinced that he was not
drowned, but had run away.
Just what the statement tomorrow
will contain is not known by the pub
lic Investigation shows no financial
difficulty nor is there any reason to
suspect any moral lapse. Rev. Mr.
Cronenberger's family relations are
thought to be ideal. On the day before
he had made arrangements to purchase
a home in Corvallis and was supposed
to sign the necessary legal papers the
afternoon of his disappearance.
The family is puzzled and is co-oper
ating with the authorities to clear up
the mystery.

DESCRIPTIONS ARE ANSWERED
Henry Sturgeon Identified by
Scars and Handwriting.
CLUE IS OBTAINED IN UTAH
Whilc-IIdircd Man In Portland Seeks
Tiny Child of Lon- Ago Ccles-tla
Sturgeon Is Sorrowful.
A thrilling chapter of a heart story
of unusual interest, a problem in iden
tity that would take more than a Sher
lock Holmes or the proverbial Phila
delphia lawyer to solve, is being enact
ed in Portland. A girl, with loneliness
and sorrow imprinted on her face, is
begging fate to give her the father
whom she has sought so long. At one
time she thought she had found him.
As she held out her arms to the white
haired man of 70 whom she firmly be
lieved to be her father, he shook his
head and said: "No, you are not my
daughter. I wish you were."
But tho girl is not convinced. She
will employ specialists to ascertain if
the man has suffered a lapse ot
memory.
Search la Disappointing;.
The story of Mary Celcstia Sturgeon
and her search for her long-lost father
is one of many heartaches, many dis
appointments and many puzzling situa
tions. It reads like a romance, but it is
all true, according to the statement of
the brown-eyed, bright girl with the
pathetic expression, who arrived in
Portland Wednesday night to investi
gate a clew that seemed to lead her
to the father who has been missing
for 22 years since Celestia. as she is
called, was a tiny baby. And the man
whom she came here to find is Henry
E. Sturgeon, now rooming at 3S3 Yam
hill street.
In almost every particular his de
scription tallies with that of Celestia's
father, or tallies as near as that span
of years would permit. The man does
rot recognize her. He. too. is search
ii'FT for a long-lost daughter, but he
says his daughter's name is F.lectra.
and that she was born in Laramie.
Wyo, in 1S9S. and that her mother died
when she was 17 days old; that when
he went away on business the nurse
took the baby Electra away and he has
not found a trace of her to this day.
He has wandered unceasingly, just af
has Celcstia Sturgeon, in her search for
a father.
Ipie f Memory Apparent.
Long ago Frederick Marryat wrote
about "Japhet in Search for a Father."
but Japhet. the fiction character, ap
parently did not know all the heart
aches of Celesti. a modern child.
The Henry Sturgeon who has Just
come to Portland, arriving only a few
das before Celestia, If he Is her father,
is suffering from a complete lapse of
memory covering a 22-year period.
The man who disappeared had trav
eled extensively. He had been in India,
all over the continent. So has this
Henry E. Sturgeon. The man whom
Celestia seeks had certain scars over
his eye. a deep scar on his cheet. a
vaccination mark and indigo ink tattoo
marks. So has this Henry Sturgeon.
The man who was lost had blue eyes
and was 5 feet 6 inches tall. So Is
this man whom the girl locates in Port
land. The father of Celestia was a de
voted reader and his handwriting had
certain peculiarities. The man located
here has the same characteristics. But
the man found here does not remember
having had a brown-eyed daughter who
lived In Utah.
Girl Han Tronalra.
Mary Celestia Sturgeon was born in
Utah and was brought up to believe
her father was dead. She discovered
later that such was not the case and
she left home at the age of IS to make
her own way. She went to California
and Mexico and did all sorts of work
to make a living, slje says, and then, at
the age of 18, she met and married Roy
T. Caldwell, son of O. W. Caldwell, a
capitalist of Oakland, Cal., head of
the Amador Mines company. The yofirss
man soon entered' the army, and the
girl entered the University of Califor
nia. They have drifted apart and th-e
girl says she has had so many sorrows
that she feels she can't stand one mort.
April 13 Celestia went to Salt Lake,
thinking she had a clew to the where
abouts of her father.
In answer to a newspaper item a
Mrs. A. M. Howard told her that Henry
E. Sturgeon had been In Salt Lake, but
had gone to Portland. The girl tele
graphed to the address given by Krs.
Howard and then she came to Portland.
She will continue her investigation
In an endeavor to identify the man In
Portland as her father.
Mrs. Caldwell says she is related to
the Newton brothers, leather dealers
and cattlemen of Vernal, Utah, and has
relatives in Detroit, her father's birth
place. SALVATION FUND IS OVER
