ASTORIA TO VOICE PROTEST Clatsop County Delegation at To day's Meeting Will Urge That Eoad Work Be Hastened. After $1, 000,009 of road bonds have been sold this morning and contracts awarded on several hundred thousand dollars' -worth erf road work, the state highway commission will lean back in Its collective chair and listen to Asto ria's complaint. There will be many delegations at today's session, but so far as known Astoria is the only one sending representatives who will pro test. It appears that Astoria complains that the state highway commission isn't speeding up the completion of the lower Columbia river highway fast enough to suit Clatsop county. A delegation ap peared before Chairman S. Benson Sat urday and protested at the delay. To this Mr. Benson answered that the com mission already has spent a million oollars to get a roaa to ahlui m uuu that he, himself, after traveling over it, ' had to stop at the city limits and wade knee deep through mud to get into town, while he sent his car back to Clatskanie for the night. Also the del egation complains because in two years . only about three miles of hard-surface have been laid on the svenson section. Bridse Is Wanted. In particular, the Astoria delegation wants the state to build a new steel bridge across young's bay and pave to Seaside. The commission is willing to help build the bridge with government aid, but the Astorians feel that gov ernment aid means delay, and they 1)1 It (.1 tv lit, ucm J ; iucj t. b,lv . r-, -, built by the state, which means quicker action. A long-distance message was Rent to the commission yesterday an nouncing that Astorians will be on the job at today's meeting. Several delegations arrived yesterday to discuss informally their wants and ,. expectations. A delegation from Yam hill county wants a new bridge across the gulch at the approach to the town of Newberg, by which the west side highway enters. The present structure . is old and narrow and the traffic over it is immense. It was intimated that this bridge may have to be closed in a few weeks as a matter of safety. Yamhill county is thinking of follow ing the example of Linn county and bidding on bridges in its county. Crook Eager (or Action To expedite the building of a road J from Prineville up Crooked river, the Crook county judge came to Portland . yesterday. Crook county recently sold ju,uuu wurin ui uuiius lu raise uivifsy for co-operation on the road, which will be a post road project and there fore will have to be approved by the ' government before the highway com mission can act. Dr. J. W. Donnelly of Arlington is in the city to urge that the John Day highway emerge via Arlington, from Condon instead of golns) from Condon toward "Wasco. Fred Stanley of Des chutes notified Mr. Benson that delegation from that county is on the way to seek a definite location of the road between Bend and Redmond. Clackamas county people will send delegation to see about tne nunaing 01 & new bridge across the river at Ore gon City, contending that the bridge is part of the Pacific highway and there fore the state should join in assisting in paying the cost. Marion county will have representatives on hand and so , will most of the 18 counties which voted road bonds issues last week. Lebanon nigh Closes This Week. LEBANOS, Or., June 9. (Special.)

He gives up his lawless pursuits and is about to marry the girl he loves, when he is arrested and sent to prison for a crime committed by others. How he makes his daring escape is one of the many thrilling incidents which will be revealed in the play and which leads to a powerful and startling climax.

Soldiers back from the front especially, it is said, find keen enjoyment in the antics of Bud Fisher's creations. Lewis J. Selznick announces that he has had Eugene O'Brien insured for $1,000,000, this being the first instance in which a producer has protected him self by placing "limit insurance" on a male star. In this manner, it is said. Selznick Pictures corporation has again revolutionized the motion picture industry. With the lifting of the port strike at Buenos Aires, resumption of tne im portation of film has again been made possible, and the shipment of William Fox productions has been resumed to both Argentine and Uruguay. Despite -the fact that inclement weather forbade taking of scenes for Billie Burke's new Paramount picture some days a)?o, fifty wounded dough boys from the Greenhut hospital who were to witness the filming, were given an afternoon's pleasure by Miss Burke. At her insistence luncheon 'reserva tions at the Plaza grill for the entire party were made. Afterwards the actress took the soldiers to the Globe theater. . Faced with a censorship bill which would give one man the powers of an autocrat over films even before pro duced. New York City exhibitors at tending in force a session of the gen eral welfare committee of the board of aldermen on May 28, entered strenuous protest and have forced further con sideration of the proposed measure by the board in executive session. As introduced the bill would make the license commissioner, who is ap pointed by the mayor, final arbiter of films displayed in New York. It pro vides for a fine of from $50 to $100, and confiscation of the film should one be given public showing without permit. The fee for the permit would be $1. e e Back from the big movie star ball in Richmond, Va many Manhattan pic ture folk are talking of the success of the affair, which was given at the Gray's Armory in honor of returning Virginia troops.

Even more Intensive efforts are to be made to stop the theft of films by the film theft committee of the national association, which in past years hat been instrumental in recovering many reels. A special meeting of the executive committee of the association was re cently held to discuss ways and means to end such thievery. The following committee was appointed to assist Chairman Pitman in perfecting details of the fight: B. Adler. George Meeker, Alfred Wiee, L. E. Franconi and Will iam Wright. .

Swimming During Services In First Congregational Church ot to Be Tolerated. All differences over the erection of a building on Broadway and Main streets for use as a public natatorium have been adjusted and the construc tion of the building will proceed. The city council yesterday, finding itself without legal authority to hinder the construction of the building announced that nothing further would be done in connection with the project by the city council. The owners of the natatorium and the trustees of the church have held a number of conferences , and have reached agreements that swimming will not be .tolerated while services are be ing conducted in the First Congrega tional church. In addition, the swim ming tank will be moved three feet away from the church. Judge William C. Cake, who appeared before the council in behalf of the church, told the council that written protest had been filed in the city hall against the granting of a permit and that contrary to reports, the church of ficials had taken steps to prevent the erection of the building before the council passed and approved on the ap plication. Records in the city hall failed to dis close this protest and it Is possible, ac cording to city employes that It was lost in the mall. PORTLAND MATHS INDICTED W. J. Patterson.

Patterson, broker and realty dealer of Portland, was indicted by the Lane county grand Jury today on the charge of setting fire to a ware house at Alvadore to defraud an in surance company. Mr. Patterson was arrested on that charge several weeks ago. soon after the burning of the warehouse which was owned by the Alvadore Fruit Growers association. He had 60 tons of bay in the build ing, having it insured heavily. After his indictment here today Mr. Patter son appeared in court and was ar raigned. He will enter his plea to morrow at I A. M.

MEETINGS ARE ALL LIVELY Singing: and Stunts Are Worked in Between More Serious Mo ments of Sessions. (Continued From First Pare.) than 76 years. And another famous English advertising slogan, none other than our old friend: "Good morning. have you used Pear's soap?", is instant ly recognized in eeven languages, de clared Mr. Beaton, and is also of ven erable antiquity. Bint on Confidence. "Why, if these firms," said Mr. Bea ton with great conviction, "would an nounce that they were putting a hair restorer on the market, wouldn't every baldheaded man in this audience de spite the fact that each has had sad experience with restorers that don't restore buy a bottle as ftoon as he could get to the counter? He would. Confidence is engendered by firms like those. Mr. Beaton attacked with indignation the haphazard methods of American exporters in packing their goods, and insisted that away from home, far from the supreme egotism of American busi ness men, our shipments are at a dis count because they frequently arrive in pousse-cafe condition. He drew a letter from his pocket to prove it, the recent communication of an Australian correspondent. This document asserted that tons of broken packages of Amer ican exports were taken from a single vessel, and that the hold was strewn with corsets, cigars, spark plugs, stockings and other mercanTile mis cellany the wreckage of faulty pack ing by our exporters. Into the afternoon session, when Rabbi Jonah B. Wise delivered a schol arly address on "The Moral Side of Re construction," was injected a ruffled ten minutes of dissension, evoked by his observations regarding the attempted general strike at Seattle. Press Gets Bumped. The general strike, maintained Dr. Wise, had been misrepresented by the press and was in no sense an attempted revolution or a move of the "isms" to seize the governmental reins of the Washington city. He censured the newspapers for alleged suppression' of the truth about the strike, and declared that it was a legitimate labor demon stration. In proos of this Dr. Wise de clared that the ringleaders, charged with being undesirable aliens, were re leased after being taken to New York and acquitted after being returned to Seattle. Dr. Wise asserted that newspapers do not afford "sufficient correlated and co ordinated facts" to 'permit "intelligent action on the moral issues before the American people," and charged the press with widely heralding many news stories, which create issues, without in turn publishing the facts when they are discovered. As instances he called attention to the Seattle strike and to the current belief that the German navy was ade quately equipped and prepared to lead the invasion of America, branding the published reports as false and mis leading and asserting that later evi dence has proved the fallacy of both. He charged the press with not giving similar prominence to the correction, which he held to be necessary. In these assertions, said Dr. Wise, his interest was the advancement of the principle that "truth ought to be the dominant ideal in all our political and social programmes." Quick: Rejoinder Made. Scarcely had Dr. Wise ceased speak ing before Gordon C. Corbaley, execu tive secretary -of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, was on his feet in reply. saying that certain statements made byj the previous speaker about the Seattle strike were of such tenor that they could not be permitted to go uncor rected. "The Seattle strike was a deliberate attempt to bring about the taking over of industry by a peaceful revolution," insisted Mr. Corbaley. "It was delib erately and systematically brought about by a small group of men who deceived themselves into believing that America would tolerate such things as have been done in Russia. These men systematically forced the general strike. "The vote cast was so small that all thought the strike was abandoned until the radical leaders seized a meeting from which the real leaders of the i.r.nHOL-a PER GBHT. 1 AVeefabtePrepafatioiiirA3'3 g simUatinglterooauyiuTjuM s lintMheStom&chsaMBoweka 1 TjacretyPtomotlnDi meenuiness cum i neither Opinm.Morphine nor Mineral.

Labor's Support Laeklns;. "The movement did not have the sup port and sympathy of the thoughtful leaders of organized labor and did not have the support of 90 per cent of the i union members. This is proved by the fact that the general strike simply crumbled up and faded away when or ganized labor came to know the truth I aDout the plans of the little group, more than one-half of . whom were of alien birth. "Any man who states that the Seattle general strike was not a deliberate at tempt to bring about a peaceful revolu tion, through the abuse of power in the hands of men who have been wrong fully trusted by organized labor, is . speaking without knowledge of the facts. "Every man in Seattle, who knows the true situation, knows that the great body of union men, who proved their loyalty by summarily ending the strike, know it best, of all. Urgent appeal for complete affilia tion of the Pacific Coast Advertising j Men s association with the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World were made by two prominent speakers at the morning convention session in the Multnomah hotel yesterday. Bic Question Raised. William C. D'Arcy. president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, and F. W. Kellogg, a Los An geles publisher, and vice-president of the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's as sociation, argued the benefits which would be derived br the members of the western association through a com plete affiliation with the world organ ization. "There are many corrections to be made in the national organization." said President D'Arcy. "but the mem bers of the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's association hold the balance of power and can make these corrections if they so desire." This affiliation is one of the Impor tant problems to be solved during the Portland convention. Heretofore noth ing more than a friendly feeling has existed between the two organizations, and Mr. Kellogg, in a short talk, out lined the need of co-operation of all in terested in advertising, so that highest success might be attained. Confidence In advertising is the ulti mate goal sought by the advertising clubs in the present day, according to Elliott M. Epsteen. attorney for the better business bureau of San Fran cisco. Truth, he said, hed been the first goal sought by the clubs, but with this goal attained, the second now became the chief objective. Readers Doubt "Ads." "It took time," said Mr. Epsteen, "to obtain truthful advertising. The better business bureaus have accomplished a great deal in reaching this objective. We now must secure confidence in ad vertising, for without confidence truth ful advertising is worth nothing." Mr. Epsteen told the delegates that a few years ago a test showed that 80 per cent of all advertising was not believed by the average reader. This representd a sheer waste, he said, provided the reason for organization of advertising clubs and resulted in Increased effort for honest advertising the world over. Official welcome on behalf of the state and city to the visiting ad men was accorded at the opening of yester day's session. Edward Cookingham represented Governor Olcott at the meeting, and Acting Mayor Bigelow welcomed the delegation on behalf of the city. Marshall N. Dana, president of the Portland Ad club, joined in a brief address of welcome. President Charles F. Berg's address of welcome was of unusual interest, as a silver trophy was hung for the best response to his address. Nine delegates, representing the same number of clubs, competed, the prize being awarded to K. L. Hamman, president of the Oak land Ad club. Plenty of Fun Staged. The remaining delegates who parti cipated in this feature were J. T. Holden, secretary of the Sacramento Ad club; George T. Willard. Stockton Ad club; M. V. Moriarity, San Diego Ad club; J. L. Nelson. San Francisco Ad club; Tom M. Keane of the Spokane Ad club; Kenneth C. Kerr of Seattle Ad club and Harry L. Carroll of the Los Angeles Ad club. Although a serious note was evident throughout the morning session, the Stockton Ad club quartet enlivened the session at every possible moment with songs, stunts and a bit of hilarity. Sessions of the ad men will be re sumed in the auditorium of the Mult nomah Hotel at 9 o'clock this morning. LOS AXGEUES TAKES 1ST PRIZE Frank Bnttenvorth Winner With R. E. Bigelow, Spokane, Second.
