Reconstruction -bond amendment.
Reconstruction bonding bill.
The rural vote of Oregon Tuesday
rallied to defeat tne $5,000,000 recon
struction bill. That element had able
assistance from some of the valley
towns, so that whereas Portland and
Multnomah county gave the bonding
proposition -a favorable majority of
nearly 4000. the bill appears definitely
to be defeated.
The same fate was accorded the con
stitutional amendment enabling the
people to adopt the bond bill, but the
enabling amendment is defeated by a
much smaller majority. In fact, the
anomalous condition was nearly
achieved whereby the constitution
would be altered to permit an increase
or $5,000,000 in state indebtedness for
reconstruction purposes in the same
election that the indebtedness itself
was prohibited.
Figures Nearly Complete.
With fairly complete returns from
11 but two of the smaller counties,
the vote outside of Multnomah county
on the reconstruction bill is yes 17,908,
no 26,135. When the Multnomah county
figures are added to these totals the
result is yes 30.349, no 31,218. Ma
jority against 377?.
The same upstate counties gave on
he companion constitutional amend
ment an affirmative vote of IS. 153 and
a negative vote of 23.152. With the
Addition of the Multnomah county fig
ures the totals stand: Tcs, 30.521; no,
31.10S; majority against, 5S7. The com
plete returns, according to present in
dications, will increase this unfavorable
majority and the amendment is prob
ably defeated.
Late Returns Show Trend.
The disclosures that the main oppo
sition to the reconstruction measures
as in the rural districts came in the
manner in which the returns were re
ceived. Earlier figures arc almost ex
clusively from county seats, and indi
cate the trend of voting in those towns.
Tuesday night the first returns from
towns and cities outside of Portland
indicated that the reconstruction bill
had received a small adverse majority
ipstate, which would be readily over
come by the large favorable majority
cast in Multnomah county.
But later returns, which come from
the country districts, overthrew this
calculation completely.
As the country districts reported, the
unfavorable majorities swelled larger
and larger. Particular heavy votes
were cast against the measure in Wash
ington, Marion, Linn, Douglas and
Clackamas counties.
State Opposes Hospital.
Outside of Portland the amendment
authorizing location of a reconstruc
tion hospital at a place other than the
etate capital was disapproved by the
voters. The returns as far as received
give an adverse majority against this
amendment of 3540 outside of Multno
mah county. But the vote in Multno
mah county in favor of the amendment
more than offsets the up-state vote at
present.
The incomplete returns including re
turns from Multnomah, stand. Yes 30,
,740; no, 25,970. Majority for 1770.
The fate of the amendment is still
somewhat in doubt, but if it is shown
ifinally to have been approved, there
will exift authority to locate the hos
pital elsewhere than at Salem, but
-there will be no appropriation for it.
The appropriation was carried in the
defeated reconstruction bonding bill.
Multnomah Saves East.
The returns also find Multnomah
county saving the day for the measure
permitting guarantee of interest for
five years on approved irrigation and
drainage district bonds. Multnomah
county gave this measure an affirma
tive majority of nerrly 6000 votes, but
the counties outside of Multnomah
county, so far as reports are. in, went
ssralnst it by about 700 votes. The
totals for up-state counties with Mult
nomah added are as follows: les 33,
113. no 2S.00S. Majority for 5211.
On other measures the counties stood
iC'uncludtd on t'r.
CoilUQD 1.)
Public 'Requested'' to Go Without
Until Cost Comes Down; Grow
ers Accused of 'Unfairness.
S.VN FRANCISCO. Cal.. June 4. Spe
cial.) San Francisco retail merchants
have started a bitter fight against ex
orbitant food prices. They fired the
opening gun this morning with a boy
cott against fresh strawberries. After
today there will be no fresh straw
berries on sale in any San Francisco
retail store. Consumers are going to
do without them upon "request" and
advice of their corner groceryman.
The large jobbing houses have al
ready tabooed them and their action
will be followed by every retail dealer
in the city.
The boycott action was decided upon
at a meeting of the large dealers held
this afternoon. Every small retail gro
ceryman was notified of the action. Xo
purchases will be made after today.
All of the restaurants and hotels have
combined with the retailers in their
fight, and have made a verbal agree
ment not to use strawberries until the
action taken results in lower prices.
The retail merchants say they have
been discriminated against this season.
While they have been forced to pay
$12 to $15 a chest of 60 pounds for
strawberries, the same berries are sold
to the canneries at 10 and 14 cents a
pound, equivalent to a trifle over $6 a
chest, by the Central California Straw
berry Growers' association.
The fight against the strawberry
price is the widest and strongest that
has ever taken place in San Francisco
against any article of food. It is some
thing that has been threatened for many
weeks, but reached the critical point
today when the growers boosted the
wholesale market to $15 a chest.
BOY MAKES BEST BREAD
Harry Moore of Eugene TakeJ
Honors in Cooking Contest.
EUGENE, Or., June 4. (Special.)
Harry Moore, 16 years old, of Eugene,
won first prize on his bread at a cook
ing contest held in connection with an
achievement meeting of the Dunn
school club near this city.
The meeting was featured by a. club
programme, club yells, songs, -demonstrations
of cooking and sewing and
a general celebration in honor of the
fact that their club was the first I.
the state to finish all of their cooking
and sewing club projects.
Miss Helen J. Cowgill, assistant state
club leader at the Oregon Agricultural
college, was present at the meeting.
She says she is but voicing the feeling
of the boys and girls when she says
that much of the credit for the work
done is due Mrs. F. L. fcenter, their
local leader. Seven boys are members
of the club. Most of them take the
cooking club work in order to be able
to cook on camping parties.
LOANS TO SOLDIERS URGED
Texan Pronoscs to Let Men Have
$5000 to Purchase Farms.
WASHINGTON", June 4. S t r a 1 g h t
loans to soldiers and sailors of not to
exceed $5000 for the purchase of farms
was proposed to the house public lands
committee by Representative Garner of
Texas as a substitute for Secretary
Lane's project for farms for service
men. While he favored generally the
Lane plan, Mr. Garner said he regarded
it as an attempt to deceive the soldier
by ffering him something which was
a reclamation acneuie.
He gave notice that he would offer
his plan as an amendment In the house.

ELLEN SBURG, Wash.. June 4.

The first forest fire of the season in
the north end of Jackson county oc
curred this week on the railway lead
ing out from the Rogue River Lumber
& Box company's mills, six miles north

WASHINGTON, June 4. Secretary
Daniels today ordered reduction of the
naval personnel to 250.000 men or less
by July 1. Commandants of all shore

WASHINGTON, June 4. Secret serv
ice heads were uncommunicative but
hopeful tonight as to prospects in the
nation-wide hunt for the perpetrators
of the series of bomb outrages Mon
day night. William J. Flynn, appointed
but not formally installed as the head
of the investigation bureau of the de
partment of justice, was assisting in
the operations and it was admitted that
much evidence had been gathered which
would prove helpful, though nothing
could be disclosed as to its nature.
Members of a coroner's Jury assem
bled today to find a, verdict as to the
death of the bomb planter killed by the
explosion of his own bomb at the home
of Attorney-General Palmer adjourned
without a meeting to complete a
verdict.
President Cables Palmer.
Officials said there was nothing to
decide in view of the circumstances.
Washington police were still working
conjunction with New York and
Philadelphia authorities and with the
special agents of the department of
justice, but no arrests were made.
President Wilson in a cablegram to
Mr. Palmer today said:
My heartfelt congratulatiaons on
your escape. I am deeply thankful that
the miscreants failed in all their at
tempts."
Man-Hunt Nation-Wide.
More than 60 suspects have been
taken into custody in various parts of
the country, but no information had
been received that would indicate the
capture of the actual plotters. Not
since the early days of the war, when
the efforts of the department were
centered on spies and dangerous enemy
aliens, has there been such a man-hunt.
PITTSBURG, June 4. Evidence was
in the hands of the police today that
anarchists responsible for bomb ex
plosions at the homes of Judge W. H. S.
Thompson of the United States district
court and W. W. Sibray, chief inspector
of the bureau of immigration, Monday
Tiijrht, were operating under orders

Aviation, Ordnance, Camps, Quar
z termaster Supplies and Foreign
Expenditures to Be Probed.
WASHINGTON", June 4. Unanimous
approval was given by the house to
day to a resolution increasing the war
expenditures commitr.ee to 15 members
so that five separate investigations of
disposition of funds by the war de
partment may be made. The vote came
after two hours' debate and after the
republicans had refused to permit the
democrats to offer an amendment to
the resolution under which the com
mittee membership would have been
divided, nine republicans and six demo
crats. Instead of ten republicans and
five democrats.
The republican leaders explained that
inquiries were planned into expendi
tures for aviation, ordnance, camps and
cantonments, quartermaster supplies
and in foreign countries. Each Inquiry
will be conducted by a subcommittee
composed of two republicans and one
democrat.
The resolution came before the house
today from the rules committee as a
special order of business. During the
debate the democrats charged that the
investigations were to be made by the
republicans "in search of political
capital for the 1920 campaign," and de
clared they were welcomed by the ad
ministration. Republican spokesmen,
however, said the Investigations were
to be "non-partisan" and were designed
solely to inform the country what had
become of the $16,000,000,000 appro
priated for the war department during
the war.
"This is not to be in the spirit of
making political capital." said Repre
sentative Mondell. the republican
leader, "but to provide an audit so as to
inform the people regarding the great
expenditures."

FOREST FUNDS EXPECTED
Six Per Cent Indebtedness to Enable
Counties to Carry Out Exten
sive Road Programme.
Oregon has taken the initiative for
coast military road in authorizing the
governor to Issue $2,500,000 bonds in
the next five years for the Roosevelt
memorial highway. The next step is
up to the government. Ben K. Jones,
secretary of the Roosevelt Highway
association, and author of the measure,
will be sent to Washington within a
week by the seven counties directly
interested In the road. Word was re
ceived from each of the counties yes
terday that they will direct Immedi
ately all their efforts on the federal
government. The bonds are contingent
on the federal government matching
the sum and the Oregon delegation in
Congress already has promised its sup
port.
L. J. Simpson yesterday sent the fol
lowing telegram of suggestion to the
association headquarters:
State Co-operation Sougnt.
"Congratulations upon the success of
the Roosevelt highway measure and
the splendid campaign which you have
conducted for it. I understand that
California has funds to complete its
coast highway from the Mexican line to
the Oregon line to connect with the
Roosevelt highway in Oregon and that
Washington either has or will provide
funds to construct a coast highway
from some point on the Columbia river
north through Willapa and Grays har
bor, along the coast of the Olympic
peninsula, following the shores of
Puget sound to Port Townsend; thence
north to the Canadian line.
"I suggest immediate request be
made to the states of California and
Washington - "e the same name to
their coast highways as we have given
ours in Oregon. Favorable action upbn
their part would give a continuous
coast military highway from Mexico to
Canada and would be a fitting memo
rial to that great American statesman,
Roosevelt, who during his life so ar
dently advocated preparedness and
strenuous Americanism.

Lose Following Charges Mudc
of Waste of County Funds.
MARSH FIELD, Or., June 4. (Spe
cial.) C. R. Wade, justice of the peace,
a democrat, becomes county judge and
Henry G. Kern, banker, foundryman
and mayor of North Bend, county com
missioner, as a result of an overwhelm
ing landslide in the recall election yes
terday in this county.
The 2-to-l vote against County Judge
James Watson and the 3-to-l against
Commissioner Archie Philip surprised
the most ardent adherent of the recall,
and the defeat is attributed here to a
campaign waged by the Agitator, a free
lance paper, that had been after the
county court for several years: the
Evening Record of Marshfield and the
Coos Bay Times, also of Marshficld.
The main charge against the county
officials was extravagance and vAsto
of county funds and the good roads
money, and In the case of Philip, of as
suming regular salaried employment
for the county.
The new officials. It was stated, will
assume office Immediately upon the of-
iiciai canvass being made and an
nounced. The vote for Wade was I13S.
for Watson 1022. Kern 2418 and Philip
786. These represent the entire vote,
save four precincts.
The Coos County Taxpayers' league
today sent the Oregon Journal, a Port
land newspaper, this telegram: "Glad
to inform you that Coos county's re
call on Judge Watson and Commission
er Philip carried by overwhelming ma
jorities. Desire to express appreciation
for Portland Journal's assistance to us
in establishing good government in
Coos county, as Coos county people be
lieve Just opposite to what the Journal
says, thereby coming nearer the truth.
If your discredited Ralph Watson had
printed a few more untruthful articles
in the Journal, the result would have
been nearly unanimous instead of three
to one. You might convey information
to your friends, the Warren Construc
tion company."

Amendment Wins After 40
Years of Struggle.
STATES MUST RATIFY NEXT
Measure Is Drafted by Susan
B. Anthony in 1875.
APPLAUSE GREETS PASSAGE
Signature of President Unnecessary.
Opponents of Amendment Are
Democrats Except for 8.
WASHINGTON. June 4. Action by
congress on equal suffrage, subject of
a fight of 40 years' duration, ended lata
today In adoption by the senate by a
vote of 56 to 25 of the historic Susan
B. Anthony constitutional amendment
resolution.
The proposed amendment, adopted by
the house by a vote of 304 to 89 May
21 as the first act of the new congress,
now goes to the states, ratification by
legislatures of three-fourths of which
is required for its incorporation in tha
federal constitution.
- . Msrgla la Mi a; at.
The rollcall today showed two votes
more than the necessary two-thirds for
the resolution, which was drafted by
Susan B. Anthony in 1875 and intro
duced by Senator Sargent of California,
In 1ST 8. Counting paired and absent
members, the senate actually stood 66
to 30 for the measure.
Loud applause, unchecked by tha
presiding officer, swept the senate
chamber when the final vote was an
nounced following two days debate
and many jubilation meetings were in
progress tonight at headquarters of
various women's organizations which
have "been active in support of the
measure.
Immediately after the senate's ac
tion, the resolution was taken to
Speaker Gillett's office and signed. It
was rushed back to the senate for
Its presiding officer's signature, but
arrived after the senate had adjourned
and will be approved tomorrow.
WlUon'a Siarnatare Vnessentlal.
President "Wilson's signature, it was
stated, is not necessary, although tha
resolution will be sent to the White
House as usual and may be signed by
the executive. It will be certified to
the states by the state department.

Amendment la Brief.
Of the absentees. Senators Owen aid
Kobinson favored the resolution and
Senator Smith of Georgia was an op
ponent. Including paired and absent
senators, the actual lineup was 40 re
publicans and 26 democrats for the
resolution and 9 republicans and 1H
democrats in opposition.
The amendment, as it will be added
to the constitution if ratified by tha
states, reads:
"Article , Section 1. The right of
citizens of the United States to irote
shall not be denied or abridged by the
United States or by any state on ac
count of sex.
"Section 2. Congress shall have
power, by appropriate legislation, to
enforce the provisions of this artHc-Ve."
All efforts to amend the resolution
In the senate failed.
Although few state legislatures now
are in session, woman suffrage cham
pions tonight claimed that rat if Nation
soon would be secured, probably by
next spring. In today's debate, how
ever. Senator Gay predicted that with
the southern states opposing the meas
ure because of entailed enfranchise
ment of negro women, the required
number of states would refuse to
ratify and cause its rejection.
Opponents again occupied most of to
day's debate and reiterated nrguMents'
that the resolution Is destructive of
state rights and popular rule.
Since the resolution was drafted by
Susan B. Anthony, the woman suffratC
pioneor, virtually a continuous fight
has been waged for its submission by
congress to the states.
