"tlal reports that the former German crown prince and also probably the former emperor would attempt to re enter Germany after the signing of the peace treaty were received recently by government officials here. This became known today. The former German crown prince was interned by the Dutch government on the island of Wierlngen and If he pre serves his status as a soldier the opin ion of International law authorities hero Is that The Netherlands govern ment may be held accountable for his escape. Officials said one effect of the escape undoubtedly would be to cause the authorities of Holland to renew precautions to prevent the escape of the former emperor. It was assumed that the former crown prince either must have had encouragement from Germany to believe that the government world refuse to surrender him for trial or that a coup d'etat was In contemplation In volving the conservative elements and officers of the army.

Appropriation Is Increased to $491,000,000. $700,000,000 IS AVAILABLE Outlook for Coast Yards Now Held Much Brighter. OPEN . CONTRACTS HALTED Fear That Small Yards Win Destroy Market Is Shared by Hnrley and Operators. OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 26. Prospects for the shipbuilding Industry of the Pacific coast and elsewhere were greatly im proved today by the action of the ap propriations committee of the senate in increasing the shipping board appropri ation from the 8276,000.000 allowed by the house to 8491.000,000. " This was the full amount asked by Senator Jones of Washington, who cal culated that this sum, with unexpended balances in other funds and money re alized on the sale of ships, will give the shipping board between $700,000J)00 and 8800,000,000 for carrying, out the ship construction programme. Open Contract Halted. As the result of an understanding be tween Chairman Edward N. Hurley of the shipping board and Harrison S. Robinson, representing the Pacific coast shipbuilders, the house commit tee on merchant marine and fisheries ordered the Jones bill freeing American shipbuilders from shipping board dom ination in the matter of foreign con tracts to lie on the table. Chairman Hurley said that there should be no such legislation at this time because it would interfere with the successful sale of ships that is now going on. Mr. Robinson, for the Pa cific coast builders, said that condi tions had changed somewhat in the last two weeks and that the interests of the shipping board and of the shipbuilders have become identical. , He therefore agreed to having the bill go over for a time, saying, however, that the legis lation might be urged a little later. Slashed Price Feared. In explaining the reasons why the legislation should not be adopted at this time Chairman Hurley said that the shipping board will approve contracts for foreign account where they do not interfere with the board's plans and prices. He said the board desired to help American shipbuilders, but pointed out the necessity of protecting the standard yards from those which spring up suddenly, to meet a war demand and which, in their present desperation, are inclined to jump.into the market and offer to do business at prices that' (Concluded on Pag. 3, Column 1.) Car in Which Elizabeth Stansfield and Frances Fisher Rode With 3 Boys Bounces Over Curbing.

The girls and three boys had been auto riding on Arlington Heights in a machine owned by Charles E. Dant, 825 Alameda drive. Miss Stansfield, it is said, was driving at a high rate or speed as she approached the turn. The car bounced over the curbing of King ston street, across the sidewalk and struck a pile of boulders between the sidewalk and the City park. The force of the collision with' the rocks reduced the automobile to junk. R. C Linton, patrolman, who investi gated the wreck, said the machine had turned over endwise, and then had rolled over sidewise once, in the direc tion of the park. The car, a seven passenger machine, stopped with a big boulder sticking up between the front seats. The three boys Thomas Dant, 18, of Alameda drive; Ray Brooks, 17, of 425 West Park street, and Jack Merrill, IB, of the Trinity apartments escaped without injury. Young Dant is the son of the owner of the automobile, and according to Patrolman Linton, had taken it from the garage in disobedi ence to his father's orders. Miss Stansfield had not recovered consciousness at a late hour. Her father is pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church. Miss Stansfield is a graduate of Lin coln high school, and for the past year has been a kindergarten teacher at the Portland Social Center. The auto party had called for her at her home just a few minutes before the wreck. Miss Fisher is a student at Jeffer son high school. She and Miss Stans field are old acquaintances. C F. Fisher, the girl's father, is with the Pacific Building & Loan works. BLOCK OHIO FIGHT, PLEA Representative Randall Terms Will ard and Dcmpsey Slackers. -WASHINGTON. June 26.

Bills for Additional En forcement Are Delayed., PRESENT ACT IS HELD AMPLE Penalty for Violation Will Be Enforced, Is Belief. DISBANDING ARMY FACTOR' Wilson, by Proclamation, After De mobilization Could Permit Saloons to January 16, 1920. WASHINGTON, June 26. Wartime prohibition will become effective .next Monday at midnight without enactment meanwhile by congress of additional legislation for its enforcement. . Out of a maze of confusing develop ments, this fact stood out clearly to day with the decision of the house Ju diciary committee, charged with the duty of preparing and submitting en forcement machinery, to report three bills in one, each standing on its own legs, and capable of holding its own in the event the others were made In valid by. congress or the courts. Present Penalties Ample. Chairman Volstead, of th committee, declared tonight there was no possi bility of the passage of the joint meas ure before July 1, but there existed ample means of enforcement and ample . penalties, for violation of the wartime act. The full and explicit definition of intoxicating liquors any beverage or. product containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol set by the bu reau of Internal revenue left no doubt, he said, as to how the courts would construe the law or deal with offenders. No attempt was made by prohibition members of the committee to conceal their satisfaction in having ordered th three bills sent to the house so as to prevent more than one fight. Some members intimated that title one, the war-time-enforcement measure, would still be unpassed when actual war time prohibition was declared ended. It was pointed out by others that the law made it mandatory on the president to say when demobilization was completed. which would automatically permit sa loons to resume operations until Jan- uary 15, when constitutional prohibi tion will become effective. Aetlon by Wilson Expected. Members of the judiciary committee said it was Inconceivable that demobil ization would be delayed beyond the. middle of January. While they did not look for action by the president this week or next, the general view was that with the signing of the treaty by Germany and the government as surance of speedy demobilization, issu ance of the president's proclamation ight not be held up longer than Labor day at the latest. Indeed, It appeared to be the opinion among many members or tne nouse that saloons in cities where the sale of liquor is permitted, may be serving drinks much 'sooner than the public imagines. BUI Ha Three Part. As the prohibition'enforcement meas ure finally is put in shape for the house It will be divided into three parts, or titles, first, general enforcement of wartime prohibition effective on Its ap proval; second, constitutional prohibi tion; third, regulations for the manu facture of industrial alcohol, the latte? two effective Jan. 16, 1920. , For the first part the committee de cided to substitute bodily the bill In troduced yesterday by Representative Gard, democrat of Ohio, .his being the measure prepared last winter by Mr. Gard. Chairman Volstead and Repre sentative Whaley of South Carolina. It stands alone and its provisions are less drastic than the constitutional bill. Voltead Measure Draatlc. Title two Is the straight Voltead bill. Indorsed by anti-liquor organizations and regarded as the most drastic meas ure of the kind ever put before con gress. Title three, the Dyer bill, re lates to Industrial alcohol, its manufac ture and regulation. In one respect the agreement of members as to the policy to be adopted today changed overnight. When If came to a straight vote on the proposal by Representative Walsh, republican, of Massachusetts, to report out the Gard bill separately,' the committee re fused, 10 to 8. A moment later it voted, 10 to S, to substitute the Gard measure bodily as the wartime enforcement plan and to bunch all three bills. Minority Report Expected The fact, however, that tho commit tee finally reached a definite agree ment as to procedure does not mean that a solid front would be shown In the house, for it was'said tonight that a minority report would be submitted. Just what this was members declined to state, but it was reported that anti prohibition members would attack pro visions in the constitutional prohibition measure and others would attempt to exempt light wines and beer from oper ations of the wartime act. "The house is drier than the commit tee," as some members expressed it, which was taken to mean that ther would be no let-down and that while a fight was to be expected on the general i enforcement law, the radical provisions would stand.
