Altercation Over Alleged Disor
derly Conduct Leads to Frac
ture of Suspect's Skull.
NORTH BBND, Or.. Nov. 16. (Spe
cial.) Dr. W. J. Phillips, a well-
known dentist of this city, member
of the board of education and presi
dent of the chamber of commerce
sustained a fractured skull and is
now lying in an unconscious and pre
carious condition at the Mercy hos
pital as a consequence of an alterca
tion and fistic encounter with Mayor
Henry Kern of this city Friday night.
The altercation resulted from a
remonstrance by Mayor Kern against
the noise and alleged disorderly con
duct of Phillips and his companions
due to the apparent effect of liquor
on the party near the Kern residence
at a late hour in the evening. Re
sentment by Phillips of the remarks
made by Mayor Kern terminated in
blows in which Phillips was knocked
down, 'his head hitting against the
curb or pavement as he fell, render
ing him unconscious. ,
Examination of the injury yester
day showed the fracture to extend
from the base of the skull to a point
over the left ear. At a late hour this
afternoon his condition was un
changed and grave fears were enter
tained by his physicians for his re
covery. No arrests will be made until the
results of Dr. Phillips' Injuries be
come knoi.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16. Ludwig C. A.
K. Martens, self-styled "ambassador
of the Russian soviet government to
the United States," has offered to
provide transportation from the Unit
ed States to Russia for all Russian
citizens who desire to leave America,
or whose presence in the United
States is undesirable to the federal
government.
This offer was made in a letter
written by Martens to Secretary of
State Lansing and made public to
night.
In his letter Martens protested
against the "unwarranted and cruel
treatment" to which many Russian
citizens in the United States are sub
jected "by the federal and state of
ficials. as well as by mobs acting
without authority." He proposes that
the soviet government be permitted
to return the citizens to soviet Rus
sia and declares that he has received
thousands of applications from such
citizens who are anxious to return to
their homes. .
Court Contempt Charged.
Martens was arrested for contempt
Saturday and released on $1000 bail
sfter he had refused to appear and
bring certain documents before the
Lusk legislative committee investi
gating radical activities in New Tork.
He based his refusal on the ground
that all communications passing be
tween himself and his government
were privileged. When brought be
fore the committee in the custody of
deputy sheriffs Saturday afternoon.
Martens promised to appear before
the committee Monday and bring his
papers with him.
Calling attention to press reports
that it is proposed to deport certain
Russians to parts of Russia under
control of the enemies of the soviet
government. Martens in his letter
protests that such deportation would
mean certain death for those deport
ed and would constitute "a flagrant
breach of all principles of interna
tional law."
Employes of Division Congratu
lated by Mr. O'Brien for 100
Per Cent Clear Record.
Highest honors in the national ac
cident prevention drive in the north
west officially have been awarded to
the Southern Pacific lines north of
Ashland. News of the award was re
ceived yesterday by J. P. O'Brien, fed
eral manager, from R. H. Aishton. re
gional director of the northwest.
The Southern Pacific will be given
a banner commemorating its perfect
record in accident prevention during
the drive. A message of congratu
lation sent out by Mr. O'Brien runs
as follows:
'Final statistics compiled by the
safety section show the Southern Pa
cific (lines north of Ashland), em
ploying 4676 men and operating ISIS
miles .of road, had no reportable cas
ualties to employes during the na
tional accident prevention drive, Oc
tober 11 to 31. inclusive. This Is
very enviable record considering the
fact that during the same two weeks
of 1918 one employe was killed and
13 Injured.
"This 100 per cent clear record
places our road at the head of the

'LUCKY' STONE REAL GEM
Finest Ruby, Perhaps, In World
Found in Laborer's House.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 16. (Special.)
A lucky stone which John Milhok. a
laborer, brought with him from Hun
gary, when he came to America in
1903, and which had been lying in his
house for a quarter of a century, has
turned out to be a pigeon-blood ruby,
without a flaw, and when cut and
polished weighed 23 9-10 karats. Its
value is simply incalculable.
The ruby, which is said to be the
largest flawless stone of its kind in
this country, if not in the world, came
back to Omaha, yesterday after hav
ing been polished by Gustave Gill
man, a Chicago lapidary. Edmund H.
McCarthy, an Omaha lawyer, sat by
Gillman and kept his eyes on the ruby

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Nov. 1.
Exhaustion of . the Hawaiian cane
sugar crop has made central and
northern California, Oregon, Wash
ington, northern Idaho and Nevada
consumers entirely dependent upon
the remaining beet sugar crop, the
Pacific coast office of the sugar
equalization board stated tonight in
an announcement .that a price of 10
cents a pound for beet sugar at the
factory would be effective tomorrow.
The new beet sugar price is an ad
vance of 1 cent over the price at
which the refiners sold cane sugar
and makes possible a retail figure of
12 cents, as wholesalers are allowed a
profit of half a cent a pound, while
the retailers may charge 14 cents ad
ditional.
There has been no known hoarding
on the part of refiners, jobbers or re
tailers, the equalization board de
clared, the abnormal consumption on
the part of the public being solely
accountable for the exhaustion of
sugar stocks.
The board announced it was noti
fying the "fair price" committees of
Washington and Oregon and also the
department' of justice, which had
authorized the advance, that retailers
purchasing beet sugar at the ne
price would be permitted to add one
cent to the present rate charsed their
customers. No retailers or jobbers
would be permitted to raise the price
of their present stock, it was de
clared, while any advance in the price
of cane sugar would be prosecuted
by the department of justice. Thirty
six-million pounds of sugar, or seven
pounds for every person in northern
California, Nevada, Oregon and Wash
ington, was distributed to the people
of that territory in a period of 30
days ending yesterday, through a Co
operative agreement with the vari
ous refineries in California. It was
stated, the figure being three times
the per capita allotment made to the
people of the United States during
the war. This allotment excluded all
sales to manufacturers.
The board asserted that It had
saved $360,000 to the housewives
the Pacific coast in the last three
weeks by permitting only low priced
beet sugar and cane sugar to be sold
to them.
