ANNUAL JANUARY PROFESSOR IS ACCUSED 1919 FIGURES COMPILED SILVER ID COPPER ... - .a Charles EiniJ Stangeland, Former Pullman Instructor, Center of Stormy Controversy. ORKGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Jan. 2. To what extent the Non-partisan league movement in North Dakota and other northwestern states sympathizes with the soviet system of Russia, is a question sug gesting one field of inquiry to the senate committee soon to basin an In vestigation of all alleged movements to overthrow the government of the' United States. Recent developments, added to the attitude of leaders and organizers of the Non-Partisan league in North Da kota and elsewhere during the war, appear to make some inquiry inithat direction essential, in the opinion of Senator George H. Moses, chairman of the conrr.ittee to make the investiga tion. It 'will be recalled that Presi dent Townlcy, founder ot the league, with another officer, is under con viction in the Minnesota, courts on a charge of disloyalty. Radical Books Installed. The most recent developments come cut in the activities of Charles ISmil Stangeland, former professor of po litical economy at Washington State college, Pullman, Wash. Public senti ment in North Dakota recently com pelled the dismissal of Stangeland by the board of administration which had employed him to make a survey of the state library. When it came time to pay the bills the state auditor declined to issue vouchers for a large number of al leged anarchistic, bolshevistic, atheis tic andi free love books which had been installed in the library by Dr. Stangeland The character of the books irf sufficiently told in the titles i and in the names of the authors. In-' eluded were "Socialism and Modern Science." by Ferri; "Evolution of Property," by LaFargoes: "Not Guilty," by Blatchford: "L,ove and Marriage" and "Love and Ethics," by Ellen Key: "Anarchism and Social Ism," by Harris; "American Govern ment and Politics," by Beard; "The Bolshevists and World Peace." by j I.eon Trotzky: "The Profits of Re- i ligion," by Upton Sinclair. j A line on the sympathies of the ! Non-Partisan league government of North Dakota is gleaned from the fact that it was with difficulty that Stangeland's removal was forded, even after the exposures as to the "poi soned" library. George Totten, chair man of the board of administration, admitted that he employed Stange land on the recommendation of Pro fessor Charles Austin Beard, former ly of Columbia university, whose radi cal ideas are quite as well advertised as those ot Scott Nearing. another former professor. Totten said he would resign If Stangeland was removed, but public sentiment ran so high that the board had to act. Totten has not resigned, but the same sentiment which com pelled Stangeland's removal is now seeking to put rollers under Totten. Governor Frazier, Non-Partisan exec utive, declines to dismiss Totten. who is his appointee. Stangeland audaciously boasts in his biography'in "Who's Who" that he ! is a member of a German political i SOCietv which hnx hi1niiorti.r8 In ' Berlin. Throughout the war his bi ography proudly carried this fact. In 1912 he was detailed as secretary of the United States legation at La Paz, Bolivia, and in 1914 transferred to London as second secretary of the United States embassy. Forced "Resignation Hinted. Just one year after the war start ed he resigned and the state depart ment has always declined, as a mat ter of policy, to discuss;; reports pub lished at the time that the resigna tion was the outcome of a protest from the British government to the American secretary of state. After the United States entered the war, Stangeland was indicted; in New York for an allega violation of the trad ing with the enemy act. The case was dismissed two weeks r.fter the armistice was signed, the department ot justice files show. Stangeland .is of Scandinavian ex traction and has a noted wife, for merly Ka.-in Michaelis of Copenhagen, Denmark, widely known as the au thor of- numerous books. Ho says in his biography that he has studied In France, Italy and Russia, and this, coupled with his activities of the last three or four years, seems to make him a valuable witness, at any radical inquiry. Aside from what he will tell the committee, it is anticipated that a further line may be obtained on his movements through the files of the department of justice. That depart ment . aiimits having much ' data on Strangeland's energies since this coun try entered the war, but said today that It was an established policy not to reveal such Inrormation except ror official use. The senate committee has authority to call for it. Stangeland gives his home address as Seattle. He has spent but little time there recently. . , , - f ' J pfsv -vvv,; - f i .

According to Charles F. Kendrlgan, secretary of the Metal Trades council of Portland and vicinity, about 47 men struck at the plant of the Smith & Watson Iron works 'yesterday morning, following the order to cease work because of reduction In pay. A. I Smith, president of the com pany, said approximately 35 went out. Three union men deserted their ranks and were at work, it was admitted at union headquarters. There was no trouble of any kind attendant upon the strike.

Itojal Mausoleum Broken Into and Bodies Disturbed- Police Fig ure in Crime Scandals. (Copyright by the Newark World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) BERLIN, Jan. 2. (Special Cable.) How the emancipated German wo rn a,n is entering the male professions is illustrated by the capture of two women burglars who have been spe cializing on the fashionable villa col- onies of Grunewald, Wannsee and Potsdam. In the Grunewald section alone j these women committed 18 burglaries. I Investigation showed they had' made a good living by thievery, their total loot being worth many thousands of marks. I A fresh mysfery is baffling the Berlin detectives. The Potsdam mau soleum, containing the bodies of Prince Friedrlch Karl and his wife and sister. Princess Lulse, was broken into. The lid of Luise's sarcophagus was lifted off and a big hole cut In the coffin, disclosing the features of the princess. Curiously the body was not robbed of valuables or souvenirs. A. jeweler named Malkus learned that three burglars planned to visit his shop in Friedrlchstrasse last night.. .. The burglars - had offered $1000 to a restaurant keeper living in the tame building to let them into the premises around 10 at night. Wanting to trap the burglars with the goods, the restaurant keeper pre tended to-accept the offer, then told Malkus. The burglars arrived sharp ly at 10 with their tools In a black bag and were let into the house by the restaurant keeper. Meanwhile Malkus had telephoned to the nearest police station that three burglars would shortly break into his shop, and would they please send around the criminal police to make the ar rest? The police sergeant on night duty telephoned back the humoroui answer: "Unfortunately, you rang up too late. All our detectives are already out and I cannot reach them any more." In this dilemma the jeweler started out to round up some policemen In person, and at half past 2 in the morning managed to collect a force of eight of the new military police. The burglars hadn't begun operations yet and were found In the bar on the first floor above the jewelry store. The men succeeded in bluffing the military police with fake passes, stat ing they were night watchmen, and as the police did.1 not eee the kit of burglars' tools in the dark they let the burglars go, despite the protests of the jeweler and the restaurateur. This little Bcanda.1 throws light on do lice conditions, narticularlv as ths "result of the jealous rivalry between the old and new police forces.

Wasteful Metliods of GoveVninent Printing- Office. Attacked at Librarians' Convention. CHICAGO, 111.. Jan.. 2. Plans for the distribution of a million books, home from the war, where they were read by American soldiers in idle' hours, were described today by Carl H. Milham of the American Library association at its convention here to day. The books are to be divided in to libraries for American merchant ships, coast guards and lighthouses. Wasteful methods of the govern ment printing office and departments were attacked by Miss Edith Guerrier, superintendent of the circulation de partment of the Boston public library, who served in the food administra tion during the war. She said: "Publications on treatment of cod fish 'are sent to New Mexico; cotton treatises go to Maine; pamphlets on the eastern grains are sent to Cali fornia; government publications are distributed lavishly without relation to community." Among the librarians attending the convention are Herbert Putnam, li brarian of congress, who recently de clined the distinguished service med al; Chalmers Hadley of the Denver public library, who is president of the association, and Archibald C. Coolidge of Harvard. BRITISH LOSSES HEAVY Campaign Against India Tribesmen Takes Heavy Toll. MANDANNAKTCH. India. Dec. 22 (via London, Jan. 2.)

It U a cuarantee of parity and palatabilitr uaiurpaaaed Scarcity of Skilled Labor and In crease In Cost Proves Factor in Operation of Mines. OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Jan. 2. A preliminary estimate of the production of metals In Oregon In 1919. compiled by the United States geological survey, made public today, shows a decrease in the gold and lead produced, but an in crease in the silver and ooDper. According to the mines report, the output of gold in 1918 was J1.270.4S5 , and the estimated output in iviv was $1,072,661. a decrease of a" out 197, 804. The output of silver in 1918 was 107.323 fine ounces, valued at J107.323; in .919 It was 211,523 fine ounces, valued at $234,790. The output of copper in 1818 was 2.451,016 pounds, valued at $605,401: in 1919 it was 2,638.714 pounds, valued at $501,355, an increase, in quantity of 187.698 pounds and a decrease in value of 104,046.

Labor Scarcity Caw, .The decrease in the gold output of the state was due to some extent to the scarcity of skilled labor and the increase In I'.o cost and. to war con ditions generally, but was due mainly to scarcity of water and power for hydraulic dredge and deep mines. The larger dredges were shut down In November and December for lack of power, so that the dredges of the state, which ordinarily pro" ce 57 per cent of the pl-cer gold and 22 per cent of the lotal gold produced, com bined only $301,900. or $85,840 less than in 1918, a decrease of 22 per cent. There are about a hundred produc ing metal mines In Oregon and six of these produced. SO per cent of the to tal output of all the metals mined in the state, and one of them produced 25 per cent of the total value of the metals produced. These six mines are those of the Baker Mines company. Cornucopia Mines company. Home stead Iron Dyke company and the Commercial Mining company, all hi Baker county, and the Queen of Bronze Mining company in Josephine county. Baker County Lea da. The larger copper companies of the state, which are in Baker and Jose phine counties, show some Increase in output during the year, notwith standing unfavorable conditions. The most productive county in the state in all metals Is Baker, which produces nearly 80 per cent of the gold and o the total value of all metals mined. Though less ore has been produced in Oregon during- the last two years than in 1917, the average value of all the metals mined and treated has in creased about "0 cents per ton. The relative rank of the counties of Ore gon in the production of gold ia as follows: Baker, Grant, Josephine, Jackson. Crook. Douglas. Umatilla, Clackamas, Lane, Malheur, Wallowa. Curry and Wheeler.

The reappearance of "flu" at many points brings up the old question as to whether It is a new disease or a new fArm f f anma r fr v rnmrnon ailment. jhe general consensus of medical 1 opinion Is that (t is a germ disease of ' a virulent type which first attacks the - memoranes or tne nose ana inroal and thenwpreads to some vital organ where it develops very quickly and does fearful work. The symptoms of "flu" are about the same as those of a cold In the head, and for that reason it Is now positively unsafe to allow a cold to go without attention. Treatment should be started as soon as the head starts closing up, the nose starts running or the sufferer starts sneezing. Let these conditions run for 24 hours and acute trouble Is liable to develop, pew sibly resulting In an attack of pleu risy, pneumonia or kindred ailments. If Grip Fix is taken when the cold is starting relief may be expected In a single night. Even if the cold has reached the grippe stage, 48 hours' treatment is usually effective. Grip Fix contains nothing but the drugs your physician would order, a full list of which Is given on every box. It comes in capsule form, and in a night will relieve the cjosed-up condition of the head, overcome the fever, allay the muscular soreness and tone up the system. Be prepared. Have Grip Fix in the house. Be sure to get the original Aeld's Grip Fix. It's on sale at all druggists at Jio per box. Vancouver Drug Co. Limited, Special Agents. Adv.
