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.

IRON WORKERS WALK OUT
Xo Trouble Reported When Men
Quit at Smith & Watson Plant.'
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. No pick
ets were placed about the plant and
no policemen were assigned there.
, There was no particular indication of
the strike extending immediately.
Itojal Mausoleum Broken Into and
Bodies Disturbed- Police Fig
ure in Crime Scandals.
(Copyright by the Newark World. Pub

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.

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.

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

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

THE AFTERMATH OF
THE 'FLU EPIDEMIC
Reappearance of Many Cases
Leads to Discussion on ;
Subject.
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
