Winning of Imperial Council for
Portland Chief Aim.
CITY ASKS 1920 SESSION
"Al Kadcr Special" 'Will Carry 15
Temples to Indianapolis to
Pull for Success.
Bound for Indianapolis and the eeS'
sion of the imperial council, SO mem
bers of Al Kader temple of the Mystic
Shrine left Portland yesterday morning
by special train. They will travel over
the Northern Pacific, the Burlin&ton
and the Big' Four, the time of arrival
at destination being- fixed for next
Monday morning. The train from Port
land was made up of an observation
compartment car and four Pullman
cleepers.
Of course, no excursion of Shriners
would be complete without a baggage
car. But this year its most potential
assets were a few crates of loganberry
juice and strawberries. The juice
to be used in the promotion of good
fellowship at Indianapolis, and the ber
ries were sent down by the Shriners
of Hood River to add class to the table
d'hote meals that Uncle Sam allows his
passengers these days.
Party Rotable One.
Potentate W. J. Hoffmann was at the
head of the Al Kader band of nobles.
and was supported by Representative
George "W. Stapleton, and William
It avis. George L. Baker is already in
the east, checking up with some of the
"big guns' of the desert on where
Portland will get the votes which will
Fend the 1020 session of the Imperial
council to the Rose City. Al Kader's
famous Arab Patrol and band were
with them, as were a number of ladies.
The train will be run through to In
dianapolis as "The Al Kader Special."
Yesterday stopj were made at Tacoma
and Seattle where the number of pas
sengers was swelled to approximately
250. Today it will pick up eastern
"Washington and Idaho Shriners at
Spokane. And tomorrow at Helena the
Montana fellows will throw their grips
aboard. Saturday the travelers stop at
Fargo for a great ceremonial, and from
there east four other temples will be
aboard the train.
The Al Kader special will carry at
least 3 5 temples in all when it pulls
in at the end of the journey.
Campaign for City On.
The central idea of the big expedi
tion is to "put the Pote in Pote-land
next year. Four years ago the cam
paign was started.
In 1015 thousands of Shriners were
entertained here as they journeyed to
or from Seattle, where the imperial
council sat that year. Visitors put the
idea into the heads of local men. Fre
quently the visitor would say: ""Why
don't you ask for the session at Port
land?" They were impressed with the
hospitality of the city and with her
facilities for entertaining a large crowd.
At a following meeting of the Port
land temple the suggestion was made
by Mr. Hofmann, and it met a cordial
reception. In promoting the plan the
same representatives have been kept
in the Imperial council for four years,
and as they journeyed east each year
they dropped the word that Portland
would ask for the session in 1920
Three months ago a committee was
appointed with J udge Staple ton as
chairman and Mark Woodruff waa se
cured as active secretary and nana
ger. Since then Hofmann, as potentate
of the temple, with Stapleton and
Woodruff, have put on an aggressive
campaign. Each of the 557 representa
tives; of the Imperial council has been
reached by telegrams, letters, circu
lars and ad vertisi ng matter showing
the summer advantages of Portland
anil the northwest.
Officials Join in Plea.
Governor Olcott, Mayor Baker,
President Corbet t of the Chamber of
Commerce, the Northwest Tourist asso
ciation and officials and shrines of
Washington, British Columbia, Idaho.
Nevada, Montana, Ctah and California
joined in bringing pressure for the ac
ceptance of the Portland invitation.
It is certain that numerous represen
tatives have been won over to the Port
land cause by reason of the manner in
which the campaign appealed to them.
Yesterday Potentate Hofmann carried
a list which showed that 89 temples out
of 1 15 openly favored Portland for 1920.
They represented 4: of the 4 S states,
and a big major it y of the votes that
wUl be cast on the question at Indian
p. po is one week from tomorrow.
The finale of the campaign will be
reached when Portland begins shooting
mnch of tiA husiness men of the most '
prominent center of Japan. We were
the official guests of the Chambers or
Commerce of Nagoya, Kyoto, Kobe and
Osaka and conferred with the officers
and members thereof." We have ar
ranged for the closest co-operation be
tween these organizations and the
Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco.
These and other representative
citizens showed the most cordial and
sincere interest in the establishing of
cordial relations with the United
States and the great necessity of the
commercial interests taking the lead
in directing co-operation and in
building up a. strong commerce so that
a complete and final stop shall be
put to the malicious, irresponsible and
prejudiced criticisms of jingo newspa
pers and politician who constantly
seek to magnify trivial differences
against the great mutual interests
which now dominate the commerce of
the Pacific.
'We have been tremendously im
pressed with the friendly and cordial
attitude and the frank discussion of
the mutual problems, which illustrates
how thoroughly the business men of
both countries understand each other
and recognize the big opportunities for
speedy, peaceful develPrnent
great trade relations. Everyone in
the great industrial centers which we
have visited is aware of .the great ex
panding market which the United
States affords the Japanese manufac
turers."

in the hope of getting big concessions
for the capitalists from the bolshevlsts,
are featured in an interview with an
unnamed Russian in the Matin. The
Russian accuses capitalistic interests
among the allies with having delayed
an allied offensive against Petrograd,
because the capitalists might profit by
the delay.
Certain interests of the allied coun
tries," he said, "are now supporting the
bolshevists in Russia by obtaining gi
gantic concessions, out of which enor
mous profits are to be made. Per
haps this explains the influence which
has been able suddenly to arrest almost
every serious attack against the bol
sheviki." Investigation shows that both the
Russian quoted and the Matin are
wrong. They are expressing what once
were the views of Lenine. Allied cap
ital refused to be enticed. It is known
by other correspondents here that al
lied interests are connected with nu
merous bureaus which represent va

PORT ANGELES, Wash., June 3.
Recommendation that steps be taken to
urge establishment of a central na
tional body to direct the work of se
curing better marketing conditions
throughout the United States, was made
by "William Bouck, master, at the open
ing sessions here today of the Wash
ington State grange. Approximately
1000 grangers are in attendance.
Mr. Bouck in his annual address
spoke in behalf of the league of na
tions. Among reconstruction prob
lems, he said, one of the greatest from
the farmers standpoint was marketing
conditions. Guaranteed a fair profit, he
said, the farmer will overcome all pro
duction difficulties. He urged national
investigation and aid, through the
farmers' national council and other
state farmers' and consumers' organ
izations. He believed the time ripe for
national marketing organization.
This is the 31st meeting of the
range. Among those in attendance
was John fa. Lawrence, worthy over
seer, of Spokane. Late today the vis
itors were taken by automobile to
Lakes Sutherland and Crescent, and to
night were entertained at a banquet,
where Thomas H. Hill of Seattle spoke
on "Snail the state exercise the right
of eminent domain in land settlement

PARIS, June 3. (Special Cable.)
At a meeting of the British cabinet,
held here yesterday, the British indus
trial and economic situation and modi
fications of the German treaty were
considered in a session of six hours. A
memorandum irbm the American dele
gation advising the removal of food
control throughout the world also was
discussed. This proposition was taken
back to London, where it will be exam
ined by the British food experts.
In the opinion of officials the meas
ure Is regarded as a hazardous experi
ment. Investigation will be chiefly di
rected to ascertaining the probable ef
fect of such action on food prices.
Concerning modifications of the treaty.
it is understood that the cabinet, was
fairly unanimous in the view that some
concessions are desirable in the interest
of the future practicability of the in-1
strument. Silesia still remains the crux,
and it seems possible that the British
may favor yielding something in this
respect, as a means of averting eco
nomic exhaustion by the total loss of
Germany's economic rights in this re
gion. It is understood that the Amer
ican delegation has not declared its
attitude, but the difficulty which faces
the president, to mitigate the situation
for Germany while satisfying Poland,
is recognized and appreciated.
Vital Decision Fending.
It is said that the big four have not
yet actually begun discussion of the
German counter proposals. Different
bodies of experts are engaged in pre
paring reports on the matter.
All sides feel that the present week
will involve decisions absolutely vital
to the entire work of the conference
and the future peace of the world.
Norway has declared itself with
Switzerland in refusing to join in the
blockade of Germany, in the event of
a rupture in negotiations. The clause
in the Austrian treaty placing re
ligious and political minorities under
the protection of the league of nations
is regarded by many members of the
conference as possibly elastic enough
to secure for Ireland a hearing by
the league. President Wilson has not
yet replied to the Walsh-Dunne letter,
but perhaps something may be heard
from him along these lines before the
conclusion of the conference.
Tomorrow the Dutch representative,
Von Karnebeck, will present Holland's
reply to the claims of Belgium in re
gard to the freedom of the Scheldt, and
the territorial questions involved in
the Belgian proposals respecting Ghent
the Terneuzen canal and Limburg.
Two Commission Proponed.
Belgium has proposed the appoint
ment by the conference of two mixed
commissions, each to contain Dutch rep
resentatives, one to deal with economic
matters and the other to dispose of th
points already m controversy.
Thanks to Lord Milner's knowledge
of the subject and his open-minded ap
proach to the examination of the Bel
gian case, negotiations over German
East Africa are in a fair way to set
tlement. At the outset this affair
seemed not only difficult of adjustment,
but it threatened strain of Anglo-Bel
gian relations.
I hear that Belgium does not desire
to retain occupation of the entire
region of German East Africa, captured
by Belgian troops, and that an ar
rangement is in view by which Great
Britain will obtain control of the sec
tion through which the cape to Cairo
railroad is to pass, Belgium to get the
mandatory over the remainder and com
pensation for this important conces
sion to British interests.
Road, to Benefit Belgium.
Belgium is, of course, concerned for
her Central African possessions and it
will be an advantage to have the rail
road built. So when the matter was
taken up by Lord Milner in a just spirit
it was easy to smootli away what had
seemed to be serious obstacles. Pre
viously those who had dealt with the
subject were not acquainted with the
faf-ts and did not appreHat th im
portance of Belgium's work, or her in
terests in Central Africa.
Agreement concerning Dutch Ques
tions is not so clearly in sight. Inves
tigations by the proposed commissions,
however, are expected to facilitate set
tlements. Another matter of present concern to
Belgium is the future of Luxemburg,
which had formerly belonged to Bel
gium. It was supposed that in the
peace settlements it would revert to
economic union with Belgium, but
French Influences have been very
strong since the signing of the armi
stice and suggested plebiscite on a
union with France would, at the mo
ment, probably be favorable to that
proposition.
Belgian Trade Important.
If it were possible , for Belgium to
join in an economic bloc with France
and Luxemburg the situation might be
cleared in that way. Belgium, how
ever, is a free trade country. Her
prosperity seems to rest upon that pol
icy. As her people are determined on
no account to mortgage her economic
freedom, such an agreement may be
dismissed as impracticable.
On the other hand, should Luxem
burg enter into economic union with
France, that course would inflict a se
rious blow upon Belgium's economic
position. So the matter, of the eco
nomic future of Luxemburg becomes
of the utmost importance to the posi
tion of Belgium after the peace treaty.
OREGON MAY BE SCRAPPED
FATE OF OLD BATTXESIUP SOT
VET DETERMINED.
Historic Sea Fighter One or Twelve
to Be Put Out or Commission.
State May Get Iielic.
"WASHINGTON". June 3. Twelve pre-
dreadnaught battleships will be placed
out of commission and eventually-
broken up for junk or used as targets
under plans being worked out by the
navy department.
Four of the battleships, the Oregon.
Indiana, Iowa and Massachusetts, have
already been relegated to the scrap
heap. The remaining: eight are the
Kearsarge, Kentucky, Illinois. Ala
bama, Wisconsin, Maine, Missouri and
Ohio.
The 12 vessels, built between 1833
and 1901, represent a total expenditure
for hulls and machinery alone of more
than $90,000,000. When placed out of
commission they will release for other
duty approximately 10.000 enlisted men
and nearly 400 officers.
The ships lone asro outlived their
usefulness as combatant units in a
fighting fleet, although when they
were built they were among the most
formidable war vessels afloat.
The question of what to do with sc
many practically useless battleships
after they have been placed out of
commission is before the department.
The historic old Oregon has been of
fered to the state of Oregon to b
used as the state sees fit for memorial
purposes and probably will be accepted.

Mound, including the famous "mound,"
was yesterday deeded to the state by
John R. James, a pioneer settler of
southwest Washingrton and son of
Samuel James, the first man to settle

Samuel James arrived at Grand
