WASHINGTON, June 12. Final action
on the 1920 army appropriation bill was
delayed in the house today as the result
of a brisk parliamentary skirmish over
a proviso prohibiting the war depart
ment from using any part of the ap
propriation or any unexpended balances
now in its possession for the purchases
of additional lands for army purposes.
A point of order on the proviso was
made by Representative Crisp, demo
crat of Georgia, adn sustained by Rep
resentative Campbell of Kansas, presid
ing, after long debate.
An attempt will be made tomorrow to
obtain a special rule from the rules
committee making the proviso in order.
Reductions totaling $1)0.500,000 in the
bill were made during the day. reduc
ing the total amount carried from
$810,000,000 to $718,650,000, or $535,000,
"00 less than the original estimates of
the war department.
Authority Is Qnrnt loned.
The debate on the proviso centered
largely on the' question of whether t he-
war department was justified in mak
ing large expenditures for land since
hostilities have ceased and demobiliza
tion more than half completed. Repub
licans contended that the department's
authority to make land purchases
ceased when the armistice was signed
and that millions of dollars had been
spent without authority since.
Representative Madden, republican,
of Illinois, declared that more than
500,000 acres of land had been pur
chased near Camp Benning, Ga., at a
cost of about $7,000,000 for a small
arms practice field, even though a
similar field existed at Fort Sill, Okla.
He characterized this as a "criminal
misuse of the government's money,
which should be considered the same as
embezzlement."
Flaffrant Abonfs Charged.
Representative McKenzie, republican,
of Illinois, asserted that this was only
one of numerous "flagrant abuses."
Democrats replied to the charges by
declaring that they were as much with
out foundation as other charges which
the majority party had been making.
"Evidently the republicans have not
taken into consideration," declared
Representative Lever of South Caro
lina, "that the war department is sav
ing the government by going anead
and purchasing tracts of land for which
it has already spent large sums for op
tions and improvements. Judgment
must be used to determine whether it
would be economically wise to aban
don the property or go ahead and ac
quire the title of it.
COLONEL LEADER RESIGNS
BRITISH VETERAX, MILITARY
INSTRUCTOR, QUITS OREGON.
Work at University and in State
. Held Completed, Officer Will Go
to British Columbia.
Colonel John L.. Leader, military
commandant and instructor at the Uni
versity of Oregon, delightful and vivid
lecturer, known personally over half
the state, has tendered his resignation
to President Campbell and will leave
next week at the end of the term for
British Columbia.
The fact that his war service in Ore
pon, to which he was detailed as a
wounded British veteran, has been com
pleted with the organization of the
state high schools for admission to the
junior reserve officers training- corps.
impelled Colonel Leader to sever his
connection with the university.
"It is a very great wrench to all of
us leaving Oregon." writes Colonel
leader to Portland friends. "I meant
to have settled down in Oregon. IM
rectly my affairs are fixed up. probably
in 1921, we hope to come back to make
our home here." m
Colonel Leader will leave for British
Columbia the first of next week and
will make arrangements for Mrs. Leader
to follow him within a month when he
has selected a new location.
Oregon, quite literally, took Colonel
Leader to her heart, when the British
veteran, formerly commander of the
Royal Irish Rifles in the wickedest
fighting of the earlier years of the
war. came with his cane and his en
gaging smile to accept the post at the
university, where he drilled the. student
body and organized a reserve officers'
training corps. He lectured in Portland
and carried his first audience by storn
with the blend of vigor and poetry that
he gave to his tales of ' battle' and
camps, not forgetting, a drolt"-dash of
t ypically Cel t ic humor. Since then he
has lectured in practically every city
of Oregon.
SALEM FRUIT JUICE COMPANY
SUES FOR SUPPLY.
Union Pool of 12 00 Tons Claimed
Under Contract Held Necessary
to Concern's Business.
SALEM. Or.. June 12. (Special.)
Further difficulties encountered by the
Phez company in procuring logan
berries enough for its various fruit
juice products are disclosed in a new
suit filed here against the Salem Fruit
Union, in which the plaintiff company
seeks to restrain the fruit union from
disposing of its loganberry pool to any
others than the plaintiff.
The plaintiff company asserts that It
already has contracted for the entire
output of the fruit union pool, amount
ing to more than 1200 tons of logan
berries, this tonnage representing one
half of the amount used by the plain
tiff company in the manufacture of its
several products.
The litigation grows out of the
marked advance in the value of logan
berries within the past few years.
Originally, the Phez company con
tracted for loganberries for a five-year
period at three cents a pound. Because
of the sharp advance the company has
voluntarily raised this contract price to
five and a half cents. The Phex com
pany asserts that it has spent more
than $100,000 in advertising its pro
ducts and wtll be unable to supply the
demand if the defendant union refuses
to deliver berries according to contract.

B ELLINGHAM, June 12. Recom

Secretary F. K. Lane's proposal for de
velopment of logged-off lands to aid
returned soldiers; ultimate amalgama
tion of all veteran societies, and a pro
test against retirement to their former
ranks of Spanish-American war vet
erans who fought in the late war, were
contained in the annual report of E. R.

More than 100 delegates were in at

tion in honor of his having lost a son

Kane, responded to the mayor s greet
ing. Tonight the veterans held a pa

TRACE OF NUN IS LACKING
Police Mystified Over Disappearance
of Sister Modesta.
After a day of investigation, police
are still at sea regarding the disap
pearance of faister Modesta from St,
Stephen's convent, 1234 Kast Taylor
street, Tuesday night. Sister Modesta
was called to the door during the com
mencement exercises of the school, and
has not been seen since.
Sister Modesta had been at St,
Stephen's convent eight months. She
was 30 years old, and had been a nun
nine years. Police do not consider it
probable that a woman who had been
so long with the convent would desert
it of her own accord.

HE Miner Girls" wish to express their appreciation and thanks for the courtesies
extended to them by the merchants and public of the East Side Willamette Valley
between Portland and Albany. During the past few weeks they have demonstrated
m Oak Grove, Gladstone, Oregon City, Canby, Mulino, Barlow, Aurora, Molalla, Hubbard,
Donald, St. Paul, Colton, Gervais, Monitor, Woodburn, Mount Angel, Silverton, Turner,
Aumsville, Stayton, Mill City, Salem, Jefferson, Scio, Albany, Corvallis, Lebanon, Gates,
Brownsville, Crabtree, Tangent, Shedd, Peoria, Halsey, Sweet Home and Foster, their

elsewhere, recognize the superiority in prepared cereals made from grains grown in
their own community, made palatable by a superior process and marketed under the
Miner" brand by the Alber Bros. Milling Co., Portland, Oregon.
The "Miner Girls" are now in Eastern Oregon enjoying unusual success, where they
will stay a short time and then return to Western Oregon and continue their work in the
remaining communities.
The "Miner Girls" is an organization of young ladies traveling in groups through
the various states in the interest of their firm the Albers Bros. Milling Co. In some
of the states they are affiliated with the "Carnation Girls." Their purpose is to dem
onstrate the superior value of cereals as a food in the daily diet, with particular refer
ence to their own brands of Oats, Pearls of Wheat, Flapjack Flour and others.

from a trip to Rainier national park.
Dr. and Mrs. Garfield leave for Wash
ington, D. C, tomorrow. The state
ment said: ,
"With the actual coming of peace the
federal fuel administration ceases to
exist. I hope, however, that there will
be a plan, not to continue the fuel ad
ministration, but to continue to admin
ister fuel part of a general plan un
der which the government shall con
tinue something of that intimate rela
tion with industry which was created
during the war. Such a plan we have
worked out and it has received the ap
proval of the president."
