Attorney-General tall- Attention
to General Tendency of Prices
to Rise Each Fall.
"WASHINGTON. Dec. 22. Expecta
tion of a decline In retail food prices
beginning between January 1 and
March 1 was expressed tonight by
Attorney-General Palmer in a state
ment summing up the efforts of the
government to date In forcing down
the cost of living.
"The cost of living, already under
control," said the attorney-general,
"can be reduced if everyone who pro
duces will produce his utmost, if those
who buy and consume will save and
eliminate extravagance and if all hon
est people will join with the depart
ment bf justice in stamping out prof
iteering and hoarding."
Results Are Expected Soon.
Explaining that a downward trend
In retail food prices ordinarily was
ehown during the first two months of
a year, Mr. Palmer said it was the
hope of the government "that this
trend will be accelerated this year by
the campaign initiated by the rovern
ment which is Just now getting well
under way."
Although statistics compiled annu
ally by the government show that in
previous years retail food prices in
creased during the fall months, Mr.
Palmer said that since August this
year such prices had been maintained
practically stationary.
Only since October 22, when neces
sary amendments to the Lever food
control act were passed, the attorney
general's statement said, has it been
possible to deal effectively with all
cases of profiteering and hoarding.
From October 22 to date 195 prosecu
tions have been instituted and prose
cutions and seizure have covered 18
states, it was added.
Clothing Profits Ueduced.
Due to co-operation between the
government and various retail mer
chants' association, the statement
said, prevailing profits of clothing
had been reduced from 5 to 50 per
cent.
The statement, which was Issued
with the authorization of the govern
ment officials associated with the
attorney-general in the campaign to
force down living costs, including
Director-General of Railroads Hines
was considered in some quarters as a
summary of the government's position
in the face of the recently renewed
demands of railroad workers for an
Increase in prices.
The railroad shopmen publicly and
the other railroad craft tacitly agreed
in. August with the suggestion of
President "Wilson to postpone their
demands for increased pay for 90 days
to await efforts of the government to
bring down prices.
History of Campaign Given.
"In August," said the attorney-general's
statement, "in connection with
demands for increased wages by rail
. road shopmen based on the increased
cost of living, the president an
nounced to the public the view that
the cost of living would be lowered
as soon as there were settled con
ditions of production and of com
merce, and soon as the treaty of peace
was ratified and as soon as mer
chants, manufacturers, farmers and
miners had a certain basis of cal
dilation.
"In a statement to the shopmen
themselves the president declared
that the primary step was to increase
production and facilitate transporta
tion so as to make up for the destruc
tion wrought by the war and the ter
rlble scarcity It created. The presi
dent added that the government had
taken up with all possible vigor the
task of bringing the profiteer to
book, making the stock of necessities
in the country available at lower
prices, stimulating production and
facilitating distribution.
"The movement inaugurated at the
time to gain control over the cost of
living has been largely in the hands
of the department of justice. It
should be helpful to point out what
has already been accomplished and
what further steps are in contempla
tion. To view the situation it Is
necessary to look back and ascertain
what the trend of prices has been in
past years.
Prices Are Held Down.
"Taking retail food prices as a
basis, the index numbers of the United
States bureau of labor statistics from
1911 to 1919 indicate that up to 1919
there has been a noticeable trend
upward in such prices in the fall of
the year, whereas since. August this
year such retail prices have been kept
practically stationary. By way of
illustration, during the period August
to November inclusive, 1916, there was
an advance in retail food prices as in
dicated by the bureau of labor sta
tistics of 13 points, in 1917 18 points,

Portland Also Shows Reduction of
15 Cents in Week, With Fur
tlier Cut Expected.
CHICAGO, Dec. 22. As a result of
a boycott by housewives of Chicago
against butter and egg dealers the
price of -fresh eggs has dropped 12
cents a dozen, according to a letter
received today by Major A. A.
Sprague, head of the fair price com
mittee. The letter was from the Chicago
mercantile exchange and stated that
in the past three days eggs have
dropped from 77 to 65 cents a dozen,
and that there is no market.
While food prices in general seem
inclined to advance, eggs are cheaper.
In the last week the Portland egg
market has declined 15 cents a dozen
and as eggs now are coming in at a
faster rate, a further drop in prices
is expected.
Wholesalers are not moving many
eggs in a local way and fhere is no
shipping outlet in any direction foi
the growing accumulation. In nearly
all markets of the country egg prices
are slumping as the winter lay in
creases. The wholesale market today will be
60 to 65 cents for the best fresh Ore
gon eggs and the retail price about
70 cents.

night about 9 o'clock the C. S. S.
Asotin, which has been anchored for
about two weeks on the Washington
side of the Columbia river, today lay
on the rocks about three miles below
here on the Oregon side of the river.
It was believed that she was a total
loss.
Among those on board when the
accident occurred was a woman with
her 4-year-old boy. All narrowly es

woman battled for two hours with
the floating ice and finally reached
shore in an exhausted condition. They
were brought here on a freight train.
As a result of the breaking up ol
the recent storm several bridges

ARMY OFFICER IS SUICIDE
With its seacocks broken as a re
sult of the recent cold spell and water
pouring Into the hold through these
apertures, workmen last night were
fighting to prevent the sinking of the
Anvil, 400-ton gasoline yacht, which
was "Interned" in Portland harbor
nearly two years ago for alleged pro
German activities, and has been lying
at anchor at the southern end of Wil
lamette moorage ever since, its black
ened hull and battered decks easIy
hiding the splendor of a vessel that
was at one time one of the finest
yachts on the Pacific.
Early last night the keeper of the
vessel discovered the water pouring
into the hold and the engine room
soon was filled to a depth of about
eight feet. She was listing at about
30 degrees to the port or landward
side and threatened to go down in
about 40 feet of water. Private pumps
were taken to the scene and the har
bor patrol was appealed to. and late
last night it was believed the vessel
could be saved from sinking.
The Anvil has one of the most
thrilling histories of any vessel ever
crossing the Columbia river bar. She
was built at San Francisco in 1905
as a pleasure yacht for a San Fran
cisco millionaire and was made of the
finest four-inch Port Orford cedar.
with the cabins and Interior finished
in mahogany. For some years she
was known as one of the finest pleas
ure yachts afloat in California waters.
Later she was purchased by Charles
Trollies wealthy shipowner of San
Francisco, and plied between Yuma.
Mex., and San Pedro, Cal.. doing
freight and passenger business. She
had been chartered from Trolliet by
man named Lineberger and certain
strange maneuvers in connection with
loading and unloading her cargoes
soon attracted the suspicion of fed
eral officers.. Early in 1918 she was
overtaken at sea by an American gun
boat A search of her hold disclosed
a cargo of 1800 Mauser rifles, suspect
ed of being intended for ultimate
shipment to Germany.
In the government prosecution
which followed. Lineberger was found
to be an alien enemy and was in
terned at a government prison at
Salt Lake City. Pending litigation,
the Anvil was brought to Portland
and moored at the south end of the
local houseboat colony. J. J. Mc
Carthy, local realty dealer and man
ager of the Willamette moorage, is
the Portland representative of the
owner of the vessel, and last night
was superintending operations for
pumping out the hold and saving the
ship from Binking.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Dec. 22.-
Franklin D'Olier, national commander
of the American Legion, today de
clared that neither "national, stats
nor local organizations of the Amer
ican Legion have any right to take
the law in their own hands or inter
fere with proper authority" and
warned members of the legion that
such action would be subversive of
the principles and ideals of the organ
ization. The declaration was part of
a statement, made by the national
commander in view of recent reports
of activities of members of the legion
which, he said, made it imperative,
that the policy of the organization
with respect to its standing on the
maintenance of law and order be de
fined. "The American Legion," Mr. D'Olier
said, "represents nearly 6,000,000 citi
zens who have demonstrated their
loyalty and patriotism. "We realize,
however, that there are 100,000,000
other Americans just as patriotic and
loyal. Our effectiveness against the
enemy was In proportion to the
strength of the country back of us.
And now we must realize that the
strength of the legion and our influ
ence and service to the nation will be
measured only by our ability to co
operate effectively with 100,000,000
other loyal and patriotic American
citizens in the promotion of 100 per
cent Americanism, and the malnte-

and order, . . . but always in ac

SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 22. (Spe

Koss, the strange little brothers at
the Children's Orthopedic hospital,
were brought from the forest home
at the foot of the Cascade mountains

10 years old, can repeat almost any
word he hears spoken, something he

not talk, but he is more attentive and j

to than he was when brought under
civilizing influences for the first
time.

with great deliberation and emphasis,
he declared:
"Great Britain cannot accept sepa
ration. The people who think Britain
can be forced into it have not read
the story of the last five years."
Loud cheers greeted this declara
tion. In an eloquent peroration, the
premier said:
"It is always the right time to do
the right thing, and Britain can af
ford now more than ever to take the
initiative. No one will now suspect
her of yielding from weakness. The
land that by its power destroyed the
greatest military empire in the world

"The world will know that we are
entering upon the task prompted by
the deep sense of justice which sus
tained this land through these last
years of sacrifice. '
The house and galleries were
cro"ded. but it was noticeable that
no nationalist members were present
when the premier began his address.
Extra precautions had been taken
to have guards at all the entrances
and careful scrutiny was exercised in
order to prevent possible Sinn Fein
disturbances.
The premier began by remarking
upon the extreme difficulty of the
task: "Difficult indeed." he said,
"after such a discreditable outrage
as has just been perpetrated at Dub
lin." He characterized the attack on Vis
count French, the lord lieutenant of
Ireland, as one of the most cowardly
and foolish incidents in the history
of political crime. He was glad the
chiefs of the Catholic church had has
tened to denounce it.
Both Sides Err.
"Reviewing the position of Irish af
fairs, he said that nobody in Ireland
wanted the act of 1914. In the ex
isting circumstances no possible
scheme for Irish home rule was uni
versally acceptable and parliament
must assume the responsibility and
propose what it thought fair and
Just.
A settlement would be found, not in
the enactment but in the working of
a home rule scheme. He admitted
that plenty of mistakes had been
made on both sides and there were
also follies and crimes.
"But." he added, "we want that
chapter closed not to ask who is to
blame, but to set matters right."
The government's new bill provides
briefly for the creation of two legis
latures In Ireland with full constitu
ent powers to create a single Irish
legislature to discharge all powers not
specifically reserved to this Imperial
parliament. A clause will protect the
rights of minorities. The question of
uniting these two Irish legislatures
into one body rests with the Irish
people, the consent of the imperial
parliament not being required.
House Is Interested.
It was an intensely Interested house
that listened as the premier outlined
the government's proposals, which he
aid would be embodied in a bill and
presented at the next sessi6n of par
liament. From the two proposed parliaments
I in Ireland, one for the Catholics In the ;

Adolph Hohne of San Francisco was

Thursday night according to "William
Merkel, quartermaster on the Chans -lor,

his clothing other mute evidence of
his prowess in the water. Certificates
of merit as a lifesaver attested his
performance In that service of which
formerly he was a member. On his
person also were found his natural

nearly J200 in money.

Captain Sawyer today said that
Hohne was a wonderful man. both
physically and in courage, and died
a hero. Both Captain Sawyer and
Quartermaster Merkel said that
Hohne was in by far the best physi

crew in the lifeboat, and they were
