FOR NOVEMBER 5
Little Fighters to Predomi
nate at Heilig Show.
NONE EXCEED 120 POUNDS
Billy Maseolt Is Slated to Mix With
Harry Paul of Denver Frank
lin Will Meet Ridley.
Bantamweights will predominate at
the next show to be held at the Heilig
theater, November 5. No less than six
of the little fellows have been signed
by Matchmaker Jack Grant to enter
tain the fans and none of them from
Billy Mascott. king of the Pacific
coast bantams, who will defend his
title against Harry Paul o( Denver,
down to Georgie Franklin, who will
clash with Seattle's best bet Bud Rid
ley, will scale more than 120 pounds.
The little boys always have proved
popular with Portland fans. Some of
the greatest bouts ever held here
were those between Lanny Webster
"and Frankie Conley, Jimmy Carroll
and Monte Attell. Jockey Bennett
versus Jimmy Carroll, Billy Miscott
versus Johnny Coulon, Charley Moy
versus Billy Mascott and many oth
ers. These matches in by-gone days
have been more than interesting, and
it is expected that the card as ar
ranged for next Wednesday nieht
will be one of the best seen in
months.
Matchmaker Grant finds that it is
much easier to do business with the
lighter lads, the heavier boys de
manding: much more for their serv
ices and with the seating capacity at
the Heilig limited he finds it hard to
obtain the top-notch boys of the
heavier divisions.
Frankie Rogers, wiry soldier boxer,
who wiH meet Harry Casey in the 10
round semi-windup. arrived yester
day and lost no time finding his way
to one" of the popular gymnasiums.
Rogers is an entirely different look
ing boy than when he was here to
meet Walter Knowlton and looks
every inch the fighter his menus say
he is. Casey Is well-known here and
has a host of friends who think him
unbeatable among the boys of his
weight in this area.
The balance of the menu is as fol
lows: Karl Zimmerman versus Sam
my Gordon and Bud Ridley versus
Georgie Franklin. The quartette are
bantams and will furnish more than
the average amount of sport for the
ringsiders.
Danny Kramer, Boston bantam
weight who has made Los Angeles
his rendezvous for the past few
montlis, had little trouble in copping
the verdict from Danny Edwards at
Jack Doyle's Vernon boxing empor
ium last Wednesday night.
Edwards will be remembered as the
little chocolate drop who put up two
dandy bouts with Billy Mascott be
. sides giving Abe Gordon and Weldon
Wing a couple of battles that the
pair will not soon forget.
.
Doniinick J. Tortorich. New Or
leans boxing promoter who has
staged the last two bouts for the
world's bantam title, is having trou
ble trying to match Pete Herman
with Pal Moore or Joe Lynch. The
little bantam champion, has made his
terms so high that the promoter finds
that he will have to have a $20,000
Kate in order to break even. .
In order to arouse more Interest
In the next championship "go," the
Louisiana promoter has offered to
hang up a $5000 purse for Lynch and
Moore, the winner to meet Herman
the following month. To date both
title contenders have turned a deaf
ear to the promoter's offer.
If Bobby Ward, lightweight cham
pion of the 91st division, thinks he
will have soft picking when he meets
Muff Bronso i at Aberdeen, he may
run. into the surprise of his young
life, for Bronson is working like a
Trojan for the bout and promises to
make the battle of hi3 career.

TELLS OF
SPRUCE ROAD'S COST
Soldiers in Some Cases Paid
as High as $8 Day.
DISQUE ORDER FOLLOWED
Witness at Xew York Testifies Re
garding Millions Expended
on Olympic Peninsula.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28. (Special.)
H. S. Kerbaugh of the Selms-Carey-H.
S. Kerbaugh corporation, which got
the Olympia Peninsula, Wash., con
tract to cut spruce for airplanes and
built a 38-mile railroad into the
spruce country that cost the govern
ment several million dollars, gave his
version today of how Pliny Fisk, of
Harvey Fish & Sons, was frozen out
of the deal. His explanation was that
Mr. Fisk became alarmed at the risks
involved and refused to go through
with it.
Mr. Kerbaugh was the only witness,
heard on the second day of the sit
tings here of a congressional subcommittee-consisting
of two republic
ans and a democrat which has gone
into the Olympic Peninsular business
In the west. This morning John D.
Ryan, who was director of aircraft
production during the war and is an
official ofthe Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad, which skirts the
spruce country, will take the stand.
It Is possible that William G. McAdoo,
former secretary of the treasury, will
be asked to appear before the com
mittee here.
SHOO Soldiers Employed.
A number of interesting points re
garding the spruce road, as it was
called, were brought out by Mr. Ker
baugh's testimony, among them that
3800 soldiers were employed on the
job, receiving the same pay as other
laborers, in some cases 88 a day.
The witness stated positively that,
in his judgment, speaking as a man
who had handled millions in railroad
and other contracts, the spruce road's
cost was not excessive. "We think we
picked the route on which a railroad
could have been built in the shortest
time and for the least money," he de
clared. "I believe the 27 miles on the
Deep creek route would have cost
more than the ?8 miles in the route
we chose. The lower advance estimate
of cost was $80,000 a mile, without
rails. They cost 70 to $80 a ton. It
was necessary to build the permanent
sort of railroad we did build because
the loads we were expecting to haul
out couldn't have been drawn over a
logging road."
No Spruce Takes Oat.
He admitted that, at the time the
armistice was signed, not a foot of
spruce had been taken out over the
road, but denied that 14 miles of the
road remained incomplete at that
time. Under questioning, he admitted
that the 14 miles referred to was not
entirely finished. Its completion was
recommended by government officials
as giving greater salvage value to the
entire line.
The soldier labor on the job, Mr.
Kerbaugh said, was by order of Colo
nel Brlce P. Disque, then stationed
at Portland, Or., with whom the earl
iest negotiations for both the spruce
and railroad contracts were held. One
reason was that the Seims-Carey Ker
baugh employment office then "would
not draw labor away from shipyards
and other necessary work.
Coming down to his relations with
Pliny Fisk. and the latter's story of
how he had been "frozen out," Mr.
Kerbaugh said he had known the New
York banker ten years and had the
highest esteem for him, but found him
a hard man to do business with.
Fink Finally Taken In.
"Late at night, when we were all
ready to go to bed, he said, "Mr. Fisk
would bring up one proposition after
another. We thought the spruce con
tract would run over 823,000,000. Mr.
Flak had no part in the railroad, but
we finally agreed to take him in and
eventually settled that he was to get
40 per cent of all profits.
"I believe Mr. Fisk finally failed Xo
go through with the contract because
his counsel advised him not to, de
claring it was too risky. The risk lay
in failure to carry out the contract.
We tried in every way to sohw Mr.
Fisk that he was protected. We would
much rather have had him go
through."
After Mr. Fisk had withdrawn the
contract was closed with the Seims-Carey-Kerbaugh
corporation within 48
hours. The undertaking was financed
by the war credits board, with an ini
tial advance of 1500.000 and payments
twice a month, to the total of about
J6, 600,000 when the armistice was
signed.

MRS. XEMITZ' SISTER-IX'-LAW
ARRAIGXS SEATTLE POLICE.
Ealy and Mother, Accused of Mur
der of Mrs. Bryan, Have Not
Yet Raised Required Ball.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 28. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. Anna Ealy Nemitx and
her son, William Fay Ealy, charged
with the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth
Bryan on October 20, were still in the
county jail tonight, their attorney,
Crawford E. White having failed to
raise the 20.000 bail each necessary
to obtain their liberty. Deputy Pros
ecuting Attorney T. H. Patterson, who
is handling the case for the state,
said an information charging them,
with the murder probably would be
filed next Friday. So far, only a com
plaint charging them with the crime
has been filed in justice court.
Charges that Mrs. Nemitz and Ealy
are being "railroaded" by Captain
of Detectives Charles Tennant were
made today by Mrs. Paulie Harper of
Seattle, sister-in-law of Mrs. Nemitz.
Referring to the assertions by the
state that Mrs. Bryan was murdered
for the $4500 given her by her hus
band, George W. Bryan of Puyallup,
when they decided to separate, Mrs.
Harper declared: "Captain Tennat is
not telling the truth about the evi
dence. The vault records do not show
that Fay went to the safety deposit
box the Saturdayand Sunday before
the murder."
The police say $2500 was found in
the safe deposit box. - Mrs. Nemitz
contends this sum represented part
of her family's savings.
Mrs. Harper said she visited Mrs.
Nemitz and her son in the city jail
Sunday afternoon and found both in
good spirits.
"They are not worried." said Mrs.
Harper, "even though they are being
'railroaded.' They are the finest kind
of people. Mrs. Nemitz attended me
day and night when I was sick in
KERBAUGH
the hospital for several weeks and
she didn't do it for money either.
"I never saw such uncivil persons
as these detectives. When I went to
Captain Tennant's office with my
brother, Mr. Nemitz. they glared at
me over their shoulders and said I
couldn't see my relatives in the Jail.
It took me some time to convince
them that, the law said I could."
GIRLS ASK FOR FRED0M
Daughters of Refugees Want Re
lease From Turkish Harems.
TIFLIS. Armenia. Turkish Arme
nian refugees whose daughters were
saved from death for a life of slavery
in Turkish harems, have appealed to
the American Red Cross for aid in
obtaining their freedom. It is esti
mated by officials of the Armenian
government that 30.000 girls are thus
held in slavery. An. executive com
mittee to arrange plans for their lib
eration has been named and will start
work at once.
These girls, daughters of refugees
from the Van and Bitlis regions, dis
appeared during the massacres of
1918. Nothing was heard of them for
months and it was believed they had
been slain by the Turks.
Recently pitiful appeals for libera
tion have been coming from them
from the Turkish harems of Anatolia
and European Turkey. Most of the
girls declare that they have not
changed their religion.
Colonel Haskell, high commissioner
of the allies to Armenia, has been ap
pealed to for military aid. No def
inite answer has yet been given, but
he is hopeful of being able to offer a
show of force as a background for
diplomatic negotiations. The Amer
ican Red Cross has been asked for
the financial backing necessary for
the work of liberating the women.
ATTACK ON GIRL DOUBTED
Case of Young Kansas Clly Woman
Puzzles Police.
KANSAS CITY. Mo. Maude Wright,
15-year-old daughter of Frank Wright,
Thirteenth street and Virginia ave
nue, Kansas side, experienced an
other "attack" recently.
The girl was found rolling in the
middle of North Twelfth street, near
the Missouri Pacific tracks. Shortly
after noon, strips of knotted handker
chief tied around her face and a fold
ed cloth over her mouth. She was
crying hysterically.
Miss Wright was taken to the home
of C. F. McCully. 3119 North Twelfth
street, Kansas side, and later to the
Kansas side police headquarters.
She told the police she was return
ing to school after recess when two
young men in a small car asked her
to direct them to a garage. They in
duced her to enter the car. she said,
and, after driving a short distance,
the young man in the rear seat with
her attacked her, after gagging her.
The police discredited her story and
an examination by Dr. George H.
Hobson disclosed that no attack had
been committed on the girl, he said.
About a month ago the girl was re
ported to have been attacked by a
negro while she was in the back yard
of her home. She suffered a nervous
breakdown, her mother said, and was
relased recently from Bethany hos
pital. AUTO OWNER IS BEATEN

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. To sym
pathetic patrons who dropped in at
the Odeon music store. J. A. Cramer
exhibited sundry bumps and contu
sions on his head and announced that
the next time he drove a car to New
York that car would be a baby tank.
No one, Mr. Cramer added, rubbing

Mr. Cramer had no more than
stepped out of his car at 6188 west
Fifty-fifth street when two men tried
to steal it. The outraged owner pur
sued his machine, and swung himself
onto the running board. One of the
thieves beat him on the head until he
let go. The car proceeded on its way,
knocking down a horse and running
into an army truck.
The police, to whom Mr. Cramer re
ported his loss, found the machine
abandoned a few blocks away.
"And in the five minutes I was in

COAL IS BASIC INDUSTRY
.England Plans Production of
5,000,000 Tons a Year.
LONDON. (By the Associated
Press.) D. R. Llewellyn, a young
Welsh mining engineer, is the talk of
London today because he is complet
ing the most important combination
of coal mines and steel mills since the
beginning of the war. Its capital will
be $30,000,000 and it will control coal
production of approximately 5,000,000
tons a year.
"Coal is our basic industry," he says.
"It is more valuable than gold. I am
an optimist. Organization, modern
machinery and labor saving devices
in the coal Industry will pay as large
dividends today as- at any. time.
"I think that unless we can get the
miners back to a 48-hour week we are
going to have difficulty meeting our
export demands. Unless the hours
are increased we shall produce only
enough for our own requirements.
"The argument that a man can be
speeded upto produce the same quan
tity in a shorter time is rubbish.
When the miner was' supposed to be
working eight hours a day he was
really only working six."

CONGRESS MUST APPROVE
GOVERNMENT AID ON YAQIIXA
PROJECT IS DELAYED.
Engineer Says Local Undertaking
Must Be Passed on Before Any
Federal Funds Are Spent.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Oct. 28. Several complica
tions have arisen in connection with
the imorovemeut of Yaquina bay, Ore
gon, which will have to be adjusted
before the federal government can get
in and do its half of the work, ac
cording to a letter from the acting
chief of engineers to Senator Cham
berlain. The first of these complications is
that the local Interests at Newport
and Toledo are doing their part of
the work under a private contract,
which will have to be recognized by
congress before it can be accepted as
the local co-operation provided for in
the act of congress making govern
ment money available.
Another difficulty relates to the
greatly Increased cost of the work,
all of which is explained in the . let
ter of the acting chief of engineers
as follows:
The district engineer in charge of the
locality. In a report dated September If .
stated that the local Interests had not con
tributed the sum of M18.000 toward the
cost of the Improvement authorized by the
river and harbor act of March 2, 1019.
such contribution being- a condition pre
cedent to the undertaking; of the work
by the United States.
In a report Just received from the dis
trict engineer, he states that the local
Interests, represented by the ports of New
port and Toledo, have raised funds in ex
cess of $450, ooo and have made them avail
able for work under their own super
vision on the project. With these funds,
the port authorities have excavated the
18-foot bay channel, and have entered into
a contract In the sum of approximately
1-103,000 for the construction of the south
jetty. The contract has been secured at
exceptionally advantageous rates, and from
the report the conclusion may be reached
that the work is being prosecuted accord
ing to the same standards that would be
required by the United States if the work
were undertaken by the engineer depart
ment. It will thus be seen that the local in
terests have carried out the purpose of
the condition Imposed by congress, and I
shall be glad to recommend to congress
the acceptance of the work done as a ful
fillment of the condition precedent. It
must, however, be held that such condi
tion has not been fulfilled in the manner
contemplated in the project document and
by congress, for that condition was worded
as tbe contribution of the sum of I41H.OOO.
and not the execution of work to the value
of that sum.
White. In this case, the -local Interests
appear to be doing the work In the same
measure ot efficiency and economy as
would be accomplished were the work done
by the United Slates, yet In other cases
and In other communities the expenditure
by the local Interests of tbe sum of money
specified in the act might easily not re
sult In the accomplishment ot the amount
of work which this sum would produce
were It expended by the United States.
A difficulty that presents Itself imme
diately for consideration lies in the fact
that the contribution will not be completed
until the contract has been completed.
There Is nothing to protect the United
States against the contingency that if the
United States entered Into the project with
Its own funds, the local Interests might
withdraw before doing the work of the
value contemplated by congress when that
body authorized the Improvement. In this
feature, again. I feel confident that the
local authorities In this particular case
will fully meet their obligation, but un
fortunately experience In other localities
has indicated that such trust is not always
warranted.
A further contingency has arisen to pre
vent the commencement of operations with
United States funds. The act of March
2, 11119, provides that no work shall be
undertaken on any new project therein
adopted unless the secretary of war shall
be of the opinion that, based upon the cost
at the time of enterlnjr upon the work, the
project can be completed at a cost not
greater than 40 per cent Jn excess of the
estimated cost In the report upon said
CAMLS are in a class by
themselves easily the most
refreshing, the most likable ciga
rette you ever smoked. : You can
prove that! Simply compare
Camels puff-by-puff with any
cigarette in the world at any price !
Put quality, flavor and cigarette
satisfaction to the utmost test 1
Made to meet your taste, Camels
never tire it, no matter how liber
ally you smoke them I The expert
blend of choice Turkish and choice
Domestic tobaccos makes Camels
delightful so full-bodied, yet so
project. A very careful examination of
local conditions leads the district engineer
to report that the Improvement of Yaquina
harbor can not be completed within surh
limit of cost, and the further authority
of congress is necessary to the under
taking of the work. 4
It appears, therefore, that the work by
the United States must be deferred Tor
further legislation, which may presum
ably be enacted in the coming river and
harbor bill. .
