IIa-e Preference Pay Ranjres From SI to f 7 Daily. and Japanese Debated In C HUNDREDS WAITED 'lmMl iilS DENOUNCES AS CENSUS TAKERS (MM SHANTUNG PROVISO Hundred of rrniop enumerators are wanted and the supervisors of Oregon are wondering If they will secure enough to mikt the canvass. Oregon will reauire about 9S0 enu merators, and the district which has headquarters at Vancouver, Wash. will need 37. Applications must be made by Octo- ber IS. and If the supervisors are to recruit their crews to the maximum there will have to be a stampede on the part of the public for the jobs. Ten years azo there were not enough Jobs for those who applied: today the lobs are going begging. It was to solve this problem that the supervisors held a conference In Portland yesterday and decided to lay their troubles before the reading pub lic. Attending this conference were II. R. Crawford of the First congres sional district, with headquarters at Snlem: W. A. Terrall of the second congressional district, headquarters at Wasco, and W. D. Bennett of the third congressional district, head quarters Portland. With these Ore- iron supervisors m-aa K. X. Llvertnore of the Southern Washington district, headquarters at Vancouver. Keturned soldiers and their de pendents w:il be siren preference In appointments as enumerators. Owing to the apparent indifference of the public In seeking these Jobs the gov ernment suggests to the supervisors that an appeal be made the men and women who were active In the war drives, schoolteachers and the like. The time is short for organis ins the staffs for the field, as applica tions must be in by October 1 next Wednesday. Those who wish to serve should apply to the supervisor of their congressional district, as enu merators will be used In their home district and not in other Tlistricts There are two systems of compen sation. One pays the enumerator by name and the other- on a per diem basis. On the name basis enuniera tors receive from 2 to 4 cents a name and an active enumerator can make between $5.Si) and 7 a day. declare the supervisors. The per diem runs from (4 to ) a day. The supervisors are not having much difficulty in the city districts, but in th outside sec tions there Is a strong demand for help. In the country the enumerators are paid on the basis of the number of farms visited. Owing to the shortage In the labor market and the prevailing high wages, the compensation for the lS.'O census Is not as attractive as It was a decade ago. Those who apply for enumerator jobs will be examined about the last of October or the first of November. These examinations will b held in every county seat In the state. The census starts January Z and Is sup posed to be over In a month, two weeks being allowed to check up the cities and four weeks is the time se for the count In the outside districts. ,1!

Her name is Agnes Vernon and the motion picture "Who's Who" seems to consider Oregon such a small place that it fails to tell from Just which town or city Agnes comes- She will be remembered by many Portlanders. however, for her work in "Taking Father Home. "Dangers of a Bride" and "A Stormy Night." one scene in "Bare-Fisted Gal lagher" Miss Vernon drops from a tree onto a fast going stsge an holds up the driver.

In making her escape from the posse "Brownie." as she is called, rides at reckless speed along a narrow mountain trail over looking a canyon where a stumble of ber mount means death. Miss Vernon has Just finished a picture with Tom Mix. Although "Bare-Fisted Gallagher" Is a western comedy-drama, there is little of the hackneyed gun-play which is flashed in the usual, western picture in order to work up 'dramatic action. "Bare-Fisted" fights with his two fists, and they prove effective weap ons. He beats up a bad Mexican who wields a wicked knife, knocks out the stsge-driver and takes his place unarmed in order to capture a mys terious bandit. William Parker, who wrote "What Kvery Woman Wants." wrote "Bare Fisted Gallagher." with Desmond in mind as the hero, and has given the big star one of the best roles of his career. see Olive Thomas, the "bsby vamp" of "I'pstairs." a picture which recently showed in Portland and which at tracted unusually large crowds, has the stellar role of "The Follies Girl" the picture which will open today at the Columbia theater.

All of the time set aside by the senate today for consideration of the peace treaty was taken up by Senator Norris, re publican, Nebraska, with a three hour attack on the Shantung settle ment, and a half an hour's reading of the printed text. When the Nebraska senator halted for the moment with his speech only two-thirds through. Republican Lead er Lodge gave him a breathing spell by suggesting that the senate shift to the reading. Senator Norris will conclude tomorrow. Senator Lodge also may speak, and the senate will meet an hour earlier than usual in the hope of speeding up the treaty consideration. At the suggestion of Senator Lodge, the senate also adopted an agreement to take up the Shantung amendments Wednesday, but this does not mean that they will be considered under the five-minute debating rule then or that a vote is any nearer than it was .yesterday. Senators explained that this procedure would enable the body to revert to the section embrac- ng the Shantung provision, as the reading by Wednesday may be way ahead of it. But if senators want to keep on speaking that day and there after, they will have that right. Norris Denounces Award. Senator Norris, speaking extempor aneously, which Is quite different from the plan followed by most of his colleagues, was particularly severe in denouncing the award of Shantung to Japan. There was no hope, he de clared, of seeing that province back under the Chinese flag, once it was taken over by Japan under the peace conference settlement, which he char acterised as the "outrage of the age." He charged that the American people had been coerced in some cases to ubscribe to loans to support this gov- rnment, which was lending money to Great Britain at H per cent, while Great Britain was lending It to Per- la at 7 per cent. There was only a brief reference to the league of nations during the morning hour." the time for filling the record with documents indorsing and condemning it. After Senator King, democrat, Utah, had attacked federal authorities for failure to deport "members of pes tiferous and poisonous gangs seeking to destroy this government by force and violence," Senator McCumber, re publican. North Dakota, declared in the senate today that "if these people had been deported the foreign rela tions committee would have been de prived of some of its star witnesses against the league of nations." The discussion followed adoption of a resolution by Senator King directing the secretary of war to forward a re port concerning the case of Robert Minor, a newspaper man arrested in France on a charge of spreading so viet propaganda. Cane Likened to Trotsky's. Senator Poindexter, republican, of Washington, said Minor had returned to this country to "continue his revo lutionary activities, possibly to re ward the Lniled States for its liber ality," and declared the case was similar to that of Leon Trotzky, "in whose behalf the United States inter ceded after his arrest in Canada his way to Europe."

At the prices pre vailing this year, approximately 1,- 200.000 will be distributed among tne prune growers of the county. An unusually large crop had been anticipated in the vicinity of Rose- burg, but hot, dry conditions were conducive to the fruit dropping. which lessened the yield materially. In the Riddle and Canyonville dis tricts the yield was much higher, so that probably 65 to 70 per cent nor mal crop was realized. Young or chards beginning to bear consider ably increased the total yield, and the three big packing plants are flooded with prunes.
