ty Youth Who Planned Night
Jobs Excites Ire ot Judge.
Karl R. Snyder, aged 24, looked on
with apparent unconcern yesterday as
Presiding' Judge Gatens sentenced and
paroled his two partners in six hold-
ups during the month of November, j
The judge turned to hitn and he en-
tered his plea of guilt to highway
robbery with alacrity.
"The sentence of this court is 20
years' imprisonment in the state peni
tentiary," pronounced the jurist.
Snyder's knees swayed slightly and
a dazed look crept into his eyes, as
he listened for a qualifying parole
order which did not come.
"You were the one who planned
these holdups." the voice of Judge
Gatens continued. "You were the
ringleader and these two boys were
used as catspaws. Your record is
bad; theirs is good. I will not recom
mend a parole for you."
Stiff Term Meted Out.
Except for a life sentence, 20 years
is the maximum which can be given
in this state. It is the first time
such a stiff term has been levied for
such an offense in local courts for
many years.
Snyder, with Lawrence Murray and
T. H. Sorensen, are the young men
who held up and assaulted Rev. H. T.
Cash of the East Side Baptist church
on the night of November 28, and
who held up and robbed V. C. Krantz
of the Hall apartments at Fifth and
Mill streets, and Gordon Bennett at
Thirteenth and Jefferson streets the
same night. Two nights before, on
November 26, the trio robbed Clar
ence Spahn of 805 East Eleventh
street. Roy. H. Swint of 921 East
Glisan street, and J. Newfeld of 2
Union avenue.
Two watches were recovered by the
police from the room of Murray and
Sorensen at the Marion rooming
house. First and Madison streets, and
a watch from the room of Snyder at
the Wabash rooming house, where he
was registered under the name of C.
E. Miller. Other aliases known to
have been used by Snyder are: Rich
. ard Snyder, Ewald Schneider and Jo
seph Bradley.
Snyder Hna Lone Itecord.
So far as known, neither Murray
nor Sorensen have o. police or- reform
school record. The former is 18. the
latter 19. Snyder has had extensive
experience with the police. He was
sent to the Oregon State Reform
school March tl, 1916. for a burg
lary committed in Clackamas county
and escaped five days later. March
16, 1916. He was arrested-in Spokane
as a fugitive September 12, 1916. He
was released, however, and a few
days later was under arrest at Plum
mer, Idaho, for Die . ourglary of a
' store. He escaped from the jail at
St. Maries, Idaho, September 30, 1916.
Snyder recently was caught climb
ing from the transom of a cigar
store at First and Stark" streets and
charged with burglary. He was al
lowed to plead guilty to vagraacy
and sentenced to 30 days in the
county jail.
The younger men were sentenced
yesterday to two years in the peni
tentiary and paroled.

Cardinal Mercier's story. Including his
correspondence with the German authori

11T18, edited by Professor Fernand May
ence of Louvain university and translated
by the Benedictine monks ot St. Augus

Explanatory comment by Professor Fer
nand Mayence:
It was typical of the German war mind
that it should pretend to find intimate
conneetlon between the publication of the
cardinal's second pastoral tetter, "The Call
to Prayer," and the September drive of
the allies on the western front. Char
acteristic also was the color of the re
ports sent to Berlin concerning Von Blss
ing's relations with the primate. All Ger
many was led to believe that the cardinal
bad talked indiscretely and that the governor-general
bad sternly and triumphantly
rebuked such rashness.
Kladderadatsch. the eomlc weekly.
waxed gleeful over the incident and cai
tooned Mercler as a parrot, echoing the
exultation of the allies, while Von Bissing
was shaking his threatening finger at the
bird and exclaiming: "I'll teach you to
keep silent."
The possibilities of the drawing were not
lost upon the editors of the patriotic and
mysteriously printed journal, "Libre Bel-
Blque. it appeared in Brussels one day
with a delicious parody on the original
cartoon. The figures were unchanged, so
was the caption, but this time Von Blss
ing's finger was perilously caught in the
parrot's incisive beak. The governor-general
duly received this number, as he did
all other copies of the undaunted little
pap.tr.
What the Germans at home thought of
the cardinal's flat rejection of the hypo
critical offer to repair the Mallnes ca
thedral has not been disclosed. Probably
they were never told of Von der Lanck-
en's Impertinent proposal to patch a breach
In the wall, obvious enough to make an
unfavorable impression on neutrals pass
ing through the town.
Mercier's scorn at the offer to expend
a few thousand marks when 1.000.000
francs could hardly have repaired the
damage was thoroughly justified. The
great tower of St. Rombaud, 320 feet high,
was miraculously saved during the bom
bardment. 'as was the famous Van Dyck
altar piece.
Fearful havoc, however, was wrought In
the structure. It was struck three or four
times. Two of the shells crashed through
the nave and one wrecked some of the
fine Gothic arches and mutilated the fine
carved pulpit. A third shell passed through
the lower part of the spire, but failed to
cause any dangerous structural weakness.
Most of the priceless stained glass win
dows were shattered. The wonderful south
window was entirely destroyed. It dated
from the early days of St. Rombaud,
which was begun in the 12th century.

UMPP PLEA IS HEARD
DELEGATIOX GIVES HOUSE
COMMITTEE DATA.
Improvement of Port Petitioned.
.Members- Introduced by Rep
resentative Hawley.
OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. Dec. 18. The house
committee on rivers and harbors was
favorably impressed with the repre
sentations made today by a delega
tion from Reedsport, Or., in behalf of
the improvement of the port of
Umpqua. Representative Hawley, in
troducing the members of the dele
gation, said that the federal govern
ment should be interested in the im
provements of the port of Umpqua
because the United States is the
owner of a large area of heavily
timbered lands in the Oregon &
California land grant in that vicinity.
The opening of the port, he said,
- would facilitate the movement of this
timber and help to reimburse the
government for whatever may be ex.
pended on the Improvement of the
; harbor.
Mr. Hawley asked several questions
'- of the members of the delegation to
bring out points in favor of the pro
posed improvement, on which it was
..' shown the port of Umpqua already
' lias expended $225,000, including the
construction of 4600 feet of Jetty.
C. E. Ricker, president of the port
of Umpqua, made the opening ad
dress to the committee and was fol
lowed in turn by other port offi
cials as follows: J. R. Browne, sec
retary; Warren P. Reed, treasurer,
" ' and E. Clyde Chase.
Senator McNary is preparing a bill
to cede Roxie Ann mountain to the

A MERRY XMAS
ELL, Baron, I tell you frank-
and beg you to repeat it
the governor-general. I
have no gratitude toward you on the
score you mention, because I owe you
none."
"Oh! Oh!"
"Have a little patience; I will ex
plain myself. There is a personal con
cession which you are willing to make
me and I am grateful, for it. I mean
the right to use a motorcar.
"But in regard to requests, rather
frequent, addressed to the governor
general, I admit the only things I
haye met with have been refusals. I
am quite accustomed to reading in
the first sentence of the answer: 'Ich
bedaure' (I regret). Things' have come
to such a pass that when appeals are
made for my intervention with the
governor-general, I am obliged to an
swer, and as a rule I do answer:
'Dear Sir, or Madam, I should like to
be of service to you. but X fear that I
might do you more harm than good.' "
"But I still assert mat his excel
lency the governor-general is very
well disposed."
"The matter is very simple. On
your return to Brussels, refer to your
records, and, if you can, confute me
by telling me when and in what my
requests have been acceded to.
"I remember, a case which was par
ticularly painful to me. A seminarist,
the Abbe G. van der Elst, in whom
I took an affectionate interest, was
threatened with condemnation for
having helped some young men to
pass the frontiers of Holland."
"Yes, I am acquainted with Abbe
Van der Elst's case."
"They even dared to suggest the
death penalty for acts which every
patriot must in his heart admire.
"I was expecting that the young
seminarist would be condemned to
prison and in a pressing letter, which
I tried to make as respectful as pos
sible, I had begged Baron von Bis
sing to declare that in case the young
student were condemned he might
undergo the penalty in a Belgian
prison so that he might have help in
the pursuit of his studies."
"But what happened then?"
My Debt Not Heavy.
"As if they were anxious to give
me proof of wishing to lacerate my
heart. G. Van der Eist was deported
to Germany immediately after his
condemnation; and to a lady who was
weeping' and pleading for a delay,
saying: 'We know that the Cardinal
of Malines lias asked the governor-
general to allow the condemned to do
his sentence in St. Giles prison,' they
answered: 'Nonsense; when he is in
Germany he can always be sent back.'
"You see. Baron, that my debt of
gratitude Is not heavy."
4. The conversation about the bad
treatment meted out to prisoners
awaiting trial had taken a serious
turn.
When he came to tho fourth point
the cardinal smiled.
"Baron," said he, "let us go through
a little history. My pastoral letter is
dated, if 1 remember right, the Feast
of St. Matthew, that is to say, Sep
tember 21. You will admit, no doubt,
that to arrange it, to have it printed
and to issue it to the clergy a whole
week was necessary. This brings us
back to the 10th or 12th of September.
At that date the retreat of your
troops had not yet taken place and
if I am well informed, our allies' of
fensive had not yet begun."
But you might have known It was
coming."
"I'm Only a Bishop."
"No, Baron, I did not know it. Tou
are greatly mistaken about me. I am
only a bishop and not more than
bishop; I am not in the secrets of our
general headquarters.
xou do not understand me; you
judge me falsely. I hope that till the
end I shall have the courage to do
my duty the whole of my duty as
pastor of souls; but I do not meddle
with military affairs."
"Then your eminence does not dis
own your resistance to the occupying
power?
"What resistance?"
"Notably that which you reveal in
your last pastoral."
"Tell me, pray, where In It Is resis
tance to the German authorities advo
cated? The Germans are not even
once mentioned there."
"Not mentioned, no. But one can
read between the lines."
Oh! indeed. Baron! I am responsi
ble for what I have written and
signed, not, as you will admit, for
what it pleases you to ascribe to me
as the outcome of your suspicions.
. Kiarht to Prayer Asserted.
"But If by resistance you under
stand the assertion of our rights, re
course to prayer, whether public or
private, to obtain God's protection on
our country and for the triumph of
the sacred r ights of patriotism then
Baron, I am obliged in conscience to
tell you that I will continue to resist
you without flinching."
"But. then?"
"Then? you can do anything you
please."
At these words Baron von der
L&ncken arose to make his departure,
but before going out of the parlor he
turned to the cardinal and expressed
a desire to talk for a moment of the I
offer which the Germans had made to
conceal or repair the huge hole torn
in the Malines cathedral by German
shells.
Oiler of "Restoration."
"Baron." said the cardinal. "I am
not Ignorant of the gracious offer
which you made to my secretary in
your government's name and we do
not know how to thank you enough
for It. But surely you see that the
question of the restoration of our
churches is somewhat premature. Ma
lines cathedral has suffered, no doubt,
and I know it better than anybody,
since every Sunday I am present at
functions, no longer in the majestic
building of yore, but In a large hall
closed in as a makeshift with boards.
But there are some people who have
been more sorely tried than those of
Malines. There are many parishes
which have no longer a church, where
worship is performed in an impro
vised hall, in a school or clubrooms.
That is where help -Is needed first
and foremost."
"Yes? but I do not speak of a new
building. I know well that the sub
sidy we can offer you would not be
sufficient for that; but we were
thinking of the most urgent repairs
necessary to a monument of art such
as is your cathedral."
ine exact estimate has not been
made it is impossible to make it now
as to what the repairs of our met
ropolitan church would cost; but I
am assured that the work would cost
over a million francs, in which case
what do you expect to do toward it
with a few thousand marks? The
work in view is a considerable one
which must be done according to plan
and not piecemeal. It would be pre
mature to set tbout the work at once..
"M. Loncln must. have told you that
the 'conseil de fabrique,' of which I
am president in my own right, is made
up of seven members; and he added,
as he told me. that if I were to vote
for the subsidy you have -been kind
enough to offer us the other members
would vote against it. To be frank
with you, I believe that M. Loncin has
spoken the truth. We Belgians are
indeed fastidious; we claim our rights,
but we do not like favors."
The interview ended with this
statement, made with a smile, but in
a firm, decided tone.

TRADE MARK
TOURIST PLANS ARE LAID
FINANCING OF HOTEL CORPOR
ATION IS PROPOSED.
Chamber Committee Takes Action
After Investigation or Expect
ed Influx Into Oregon.
Definite decision to carry forward
plans for financing a corporation that
will provide tourist hotel accommo
dations for the travel that is certain
to come to Oregon in 1920 was taken
at a meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce committee that has been in
vestigating the matter, at a meeting
neia yesterday aiternoon. The in
vestment contemplated is to approxi
mate more than 11,000,000. A sub
committee was named to formulate
definite plans for financing the en
terprise and will undertake the work
with expectation of announcing de
tails within a short time. Business
methods by which the organization is
to be conducted and the manage
ment that will direct its activities are
among the big problems to be worked
out. The sub-committee is composed
of John Ij.- Etheridge, W. D. B. Dod
son, R. W. Price and Miss M. A. Sal
amon, secretary of the committee.
William McMurray, chairman, pre
sided at the session yesterday, which
was attended by a majority of the
members, who are: Cameron Squires
T. H. Sherrard, R. K. Keller, F. W
Vogler, R. W. Price, John L. Ether
idge of Portland; Leslie Butler. E. O.
Blanchar and C. W. McCullough of
Hood River.
It is the definite purpose of the
committee to carry through the plans
and have the hotels in operation at
the beginning of the tourist season
next spring. Details will be carried
to completion with the greatest possi
ble dispatch. Chairman McMurray de
clared that information at hand in
dicates the heaviest tourist travel to
Oregon, the coming year that has ever
been experienced.
Restriction of Industry by Inability
to Handle Output "Will Be
Discussed.
Lumbermen of the Pacific north
west will gather at the Portland
hotel today at 10 A. M. for the regular
quarterly meeting, which was ad
journed from Tacoma last Friday
First and foremost in consideration
will be the steps to be taken in an
effort to obtain relief from the car
shortage that has recently become no
acute as to render necessary the
closing of some mills, with many
others facing a shutdown.
The lumber trade of the middle
west and western territory, that
draws its supply from the Pacific
northwest, also is affected. So great
is the demand for lumber products
that the market has been seriously
influenced, to such an extent that
differences of $15 to $19 a thousand
feet has been offered for carloads,
by rival dealers. As a consequence
prices are being boosted to a point
where they threaten to embarrass
the industry- and upset the building
movement that has set in strongly
throughout the country.
Heavy Stocks Cause Problem.
The greatest difficulty at present
is in financing the holding of ex
ceptionally heavy stocks. Coupled
with the shortage of cars is the fur
ther accumulation due to lack of
ships.
The West Coast lumbermen's as
sociation has made a careful survey
of the situation and has been for
several months engaged in an effort
to get the proper authorities at
Washington behind plans to afford
relief. The lumbermen declare there
is no fault found with operation of
the car service section of the Puget
sound district, of which J. A. Roth,
formerly of Portland, is director. The
trouble is that mo.-e cars have been
going east than have been, coming
to the Pacific coast, they say, adding
that during the last three months
9000 more cars have gone east than
have been brought hack to this ter
ritory. Reports to He Sent Out.
' In an effort to make the rail
road men in the east understand the
conditions, the association has de
cided to notify customers throughout
the country of the facts that they
may call attention of their members
of congress to the serious situation.
Lumbermen estimate that many of
the mills could exceed their capacity
by 60 per cent if shipments could be
made-unrestricted. The Great North
ern railroad is said to have been
bringing practically no cars west
ward for shipments, and the Mil
waukee has fallen down heavily
since the coal shortage prevailed, it
has been reported. The Northern
I'acific and Union Pacific system
lines are credited with having been
handling as many cars westbound
as ever. But the underlying cause
is recognized to be an actual short
age of cars.
Three of the largest mills locally,
the West Oregon Lumber company.
Eastern & Western and Clark &
Wilson, have not been able to get
cars up to more than about 30 per
cent of their requirements during the
past month, and the same is true of
several other large mills.
No less than 30 large mills are
now closed down because of the car
shortage as well as many small mills
that are not situated so that they
can continue cutting without being
able to market their product.

Vegetole is popular with housewives because it mixes up rapidly,
easily and evenly makes delicious, flaky and economical pastry.
Vegetole adds no flavor of its own, but rather intensifies the natural flavor of foods. Foods
shortened with this pure, white vegetable product are easily digested because it melts at
a temperature lower than body temperature. . It is therefore wholesome and economical.
ISOZSP Oil is equally esteemed by particular cooks because it makes foods more palatable
and tasty. This pure vegetable oil, of clear, amber color an ail-American product is
delicious in salads, dressings, sauces and gravies and is an excellent deep frying medium.

THOUSANDS HAYE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER
SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public there is one
preparation that has been very suc
cessful in overcoming these condi
tions. The mild and healing Influ
ence of Dr. K.ilmer's Swamp-Root Is
soon realized. It stands the highest'
for Its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two
sizes, medium and large.
. However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer &. Co., Binghamton,
N. Y.. for a sample bottle.. When
writing be sure and mention The
Portland Oregonian. Adv.
