THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAX, TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 1G, 1919. ) SECRETARY OF WAR'S STORY CULLED 'BUI' Baker Heckled at Hearing of House Committee. DATA ASKED ON SIBERIA fuller of Massachusetts Insists He Cannot Get Reason 'Why V. S. . Troops Are in Russia. WASHINGTON". Sept. 15. When Sec retary Baker told the house military committee today that the only reason for putting American troops into Si beria was to guard the trans-Siberian .railroad. Representative Fuller, repub lican of Massachusetts, told Mr. Baker his reason was "all bunk." "Why shouldn't we know the real reasons?" demanded Mr. Fuller. "I have listened to your romantic story about Russian and Siberian conditions but I don't get an answer." "Unfortunately that is not my fault," Secretary Baker replied. Return of the American Siberian force, Mr. Baker explained, is largely a matter of policy. Their presence, he ealL was to guard supplies at Vladivo stoK and support the remnants of the Cz;ho-Slovak forces. Battles fought thure by entente forces, he explained, have been defensive. Volunteer replacements are being Bent to relieve drafted men. Air. Baker said, and 3893 have left this country. The committee discussed a resolu tion by Representative Mason, repub lican of Illinois, demanding a with drawal of all American forces now in countries not at war with the United States. Chairman Kahn held congress has no authority to order euch a withdrawal. PEACE SIGNERS StlllfiHT AFTER THAT, CONFERENCE MAY ADJOURN UNTIL. NEXT SPRING. HIS MUSCLES TIED IN KNOTS That Is the Way McCoy Says His Rheumatism Made Him Feel. "Tanlac put me back on the Job again and I'm ten pounds heavier than I was when I started taking it," said E. McCoy, a well-known plasterer, liv ing at 506 Sixth avenue South, Seattle. "Stomach trouble and rheumatism had kept after me for six years until I had to quit my work entirely," he con tinued. "From the back of my neck down into my arms and shoulders the pains would strike me and it seemed that all my muscles were tied in knots. I could hardly lift my hand to my head and instead of getting relief I got worse all the time. In ray right hip the rheumatism settled and I got so I couldn't move without being in such pain that big beads of sweat would form on my forehead. I would take a catch in my neck and for days I wouldn't be able to turn my head, and whenever I had to look to one side or the other, I would have to turn my whole body. My stomach was in a ter rible shape. After every meal, my food would sour and form gas which crowd ed up into my throat and choked me until I couldn't get a deep breath and my heart would skip and flutter until I was afraid I had heart trouble. I was dizzy all the time and my head would swim until I couldn't walk along the street without holding on to some thing. 1 was half-starved because I couldn't eat anything to build me up and was going down hill all the time. "I actually believe Tanlac has saved my life, for I couldn't have kept up much longer like 1 was. I saw Tanlac advertised in the papers and started taking it and commenced to improve before I had finished the first bottle. I have taken eight bottles so far and am back on my job feeling fine. I can do more work in a day now than I have been able to for years and am just like a new man. My meals are a pleasure to me for I can just eat anything I want and I sure want enough, for my appetite has come back in full force. The fluttering spells with my heart have disappeared, gas does not form in my stomach and I haven't a pain left. I can almost run up a ladder when 1 am at work, for my arms and legs are as good as new since the rheumatism has gone. I can swing my arms in a circle like a school boy at play and never feel a catch or a tinge .of pain, and am just simply a well man, so its no wonder I praise Tanlac, for it's the only medicine that ever helped me." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug store. Adv. Task of Drawing Cp Turkish Treaty Then "Would Be Left to New Delegations. Pub- BT WILLIAM COOK. (Copyright by the New York World. lished fay Arrangement.) PARIS, Sept. 15. (Special Cable.) Rumors are current here again that the peace conference will adjourn soon un til the beginning of next year or until next spring. There are strong reasons to suppose that there will be no ad jaurnment until the Bulgarian and Hungarian treaties have been disposed of and until Galician matters have been straightened out. ' The Bulgarian treaty was to have been handed to the enemy delegates yesterday but objections were presented by Roumania and Greece who said that under the treaty they will not receive enough economically and territorially, while Bulgaria, they point out, will get too much territory. The Hungarian treaty is practically completed. The only worry of the peace confer ence is to find an Hungarian govern ment to deal with. After this the con ference may adjourn and leave the task of drawing up the Turkish treaty to new delegations. Premier Lloyd George arrived in Paris tonight and immedi ately engaged in a long conference with Frank Lipolk, tomorrow Lloyd George will see Premier Clemenceau. It is con sidered extremely unlikely that Lloyd George will sit as head of the British delegation again. The thorny Teschen problem has been solved at last. President Paderewski left for Poland Saturday to prepare for a plebiscite in the Cola region as was ordered by the supreme council. MEMBHim SHAFT OPPOSED ROOSEVELT AMERICANIZATION PLAN OFFERED INSTEAD. peace treaty should be affected by the constitution. The note proceeds to point out that article 112 of the constitution says no Germans shall be delivered up to a foreign tribunal, although the peace treaty expressly provides that certain persons, accused of the violation of the laws of war, shall be delivered for trial by a foreign tribunal. The note ends with the copy of a diplomatic document which the Ger man plenipotentiaries must sign in the presence of representatives of the al lied and associated powers and which the German legislative authorities must ratify within a fortnight after the treaty of peace is in force. The text of the diplomatic note says: "The undersigned, duly empowered to act in the name of the German gov ernment, recognizes and declares that all prescriptions of the German con stitution which are in contradiction to the Versailles treaty, are not valid, notably the admission of Austrian rep resentatives can take place only if con formable with the treaty, the league of nations gives assent to a modification of Austria's international situation." Chester H. Rowcll, in Speech at San Francisco, Wants Campaign on Insane Radicalism. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 15. Plana for the California campaign in the na tional Americanization movement to perpetuate the memory of Theodore Roosevelt were discussed here today, when prominent Californians, without regard to political alignment, met in conference. Chester H. Rowell, pub lisher of the Fresno Republican, and John Francis Neylan, publisher of the San Francisco Call-Post, were among the speakers. The delegates received a pleasant surprise when Lieutenant-Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt dropped In on the con ference unannounced. Mr. Rowell had just started speaking when Colonel Roosevelt entered the hall. He was in vited to address the delegates, but asked to be excused on the ground that he was to speak tonight at the American legion meeting. Mr. Rowell said that the spirit of Roosevelt would revolt at the idea of a shaft being erected in his honor as a memorial, but declared that he would be delighted over the Americanization movement or "any other plan in oppo sition to insane radicalism." SHEEPMEN LOSE $45,000 Appropriation Said to Have Been Turned Back to General Fund. BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 15. (Special.) Approximately $45,000 of state funds for sheep inspection was transferred by the former state board of examiners to the general fund and therefore was made available for the inspection work, according to a statement made this morning by Hugh Sproat, president of the Idaho Wool Growers' association, at a meeting of sheepmen of the state with Roy L. Black, attorney-general, and Miles Connon, agricultural commis sioner, at the statehouse. Mr. Sproat said the sheepmen would make every effort to recover the money, holding that, as it was appropriated by the legislature for a special purpose, it could not have been legally turned into the general fund.

EE1HH CLAUSES VOIDED CLEMEXCEACS NOTE DEMANDS CHANGES IN CONSTITUTION. Articles in Contradiction of Treaty Must Be Eliminated; Time to Sign Agreement Limited. BASEL, Sept. 13. (By the Associat ed Press.) A dispatch from Berlin says the text of the note of September 11 written by Premier Clemenceau to the German government concerning clauses in the German constitution ob jected to by the entente, has been pub lished in the German capital. M. Clemenceau's note, which was in reply to the German government's de fense of the articles protested against. called the wrraan reply an 'ingenuous artifice" which would enable, for in stance, the German constitution to de clare that an army of several million men should be maintained by recruit- ing. and that when the allied and as sociated powers drew attention to such stimulation, as being contrary to the peace treaty, the German government could reply that the constitution pro vided a sufficient guarantee in article ITS, stipulating that nothing in the Teachers needed.

FIFTH AND MORRISON Exclusive Representative CORBETT BUILDING MEN'S WEAR SUSPECT VIEWS CORPSE L. C PALMER, UNDER ARREST TAKEN' TO MORGUE. California Man, Involved in Murder of Minister's Widow, Reported Seen Near Womans Home. ' .. CHICAGO, Sept. 15. L. C. Painter, who claims Los Angeles as his home and is said to have claimed to be wealthy, under police escort was con fronted today in a morgue with the body of Mrs. Louisa Brown, 60 years old, widow of a Methodist minister, who was beaten and strangled to death in her suburban home last week. He was arrested Saturday as a suspect and the police, although admitting there was only circumstantial evidence involving Palmer, expressed satisfac tion with their efforts to clear up the case. Mrs. Palmer Sunday denied that her husband had been a motion' picture actor in Los Angeles but said he had been a chemical engineer for several California oil enterprises. She reiter ated that he was a relative of the late Potter Palmer, millionarle merchant of Chicago, which the family has denied The police case chiefly rests on the fact that there had been a disagree ment between Andrew A. Stuhl, Pal mer's father-in-law, and Mrs. Brown, from whom Stuhl had purchased a horse. The difficulty was. about full payment, but 48 hours before the widow was slain Palmer had appeared at her home and paid the balance due her. There also were two neighbors who thought Palmer looked like one of two men seen running near the widow's home the night before the body was found on Thursday. The police have not yet been able to explain the motive for the murder. They took Palmer to the Chicago bu reau of identification and found that he had no police record. He also stood the ordeal of viewing the body of the murdered woman without any suspicious conduct. He and his wife told how they had spent Wednesday night in Chicago attending a theater. The same night they said they bought tickets for Los Angeles, intending to return there, accompanied by Mrs. Palmer's father and sisters. Med ford Clothing Store Robbed. MEDFORD. Or., Sept. 15.
