T
State Assembly Adopts Res
olution by Big Vote.
ACTION HELD AUTOCRATIC
Constitution of Party Is Quoted
During Arraignment of Five
Men by Speaker.
ALBANY, X. Y., Jan. 7. Five social
ist members of the assembly of the
New Torn state legislature were de
nied their seats at the lower branch's
opening meeting of the 1920 session
today.
A resolution questioning whether
they could be loyal to their oaths of
office when bound to act subject to
instructions of the socialist party was
quickly passed, 140 to 6, after Speaker
Siweet, with dramatic suddenness, or
dered the sergeant-at-arms to bring
the socialist members before the bar
of the house.
The socialists, August Claessens,
Louis Waldman, Samuel A. Dewitt,
Samuel Orr and Charles Soloman,
were ushered to the speaker's desk
in the pit of the house.
"You are seeking seats in this body.
You who have been elected on a plat
form that Is absolutely inimical to the
best interests of the state of New
York and of the United States," the
speaker said.
Constitution Is Quoted.
"That platform is the doctrine of
the socialist party. It is not truly a
political party, but is a membership
organization admitting within its
ranks aliens, enemy aliens and
minors."
Quoting from the section, of the
constitution of the socialist party that
requires all members to be guided in
all their political actions by the con
stitution and platform of the party,
the speaker continued:
"It Is interesting to note that Lud
wig C. A. K. Martens, self-styled
soviet ambassador, became a member
ot the socialist party upon his entry
Into this country and took part in its
deliberations. It is therefore quite
evident that you, in spite of your oath
of office, are bound to act subject to
instructions received from an execu
tive committee, which may be made
up in whole or in part of aliens or
lien enemies, holding allegiance to
this or organizations whose in
terests may be diametrically opposed
to the best interests of the United
States."
Convention Referred To.
The preamble of the resolution
denying the socialists admission to
the floor eets forth that the August
convention of the socialist party in
Chicago declared adherence and soli
darity with the revolutionary party
of soviet Russia, and pledged its
members to the furtherance of the in
ternational socialist revolution; that
toy such adherence and declaration
the socialist party has indorsed the
principles of the communist Interna
tionale at Moscow, which is pledged
to the forcible and violent overthrow
of all existing organized governments,
and that under the constitution of the
socialist party of America, a member
may be expelled or suspended from
his party "for failing or refusing,
when elected to public- office ....
to carry out such instructions as he
may have received from the party
organization."
"We regard our exclusion from the
assembly as organized violence on the
very essence of democracy the sa
cred right of the ballot," said a state
ment tonight by the socialist assem
blymen. "It is the denial of representative
government; it is the shameless estab
lishment of an ugly dictatorship the
dictatorship of naked plutocracy."
Nation' Tradition Violated.
"In the whole procedure," the state
ment adds, "is violation of the funda
mental law of the land as expressed
in the constitution and the deepest
traditions of the nation, as voiced in
the Declaration of Independence. We
believe in the accepted methods of
the socialist party agitation, educa
tion and organization in political and
industrial fields, and the organization
o the workers especially for the ex
pression of social dissatisfaction
through their unions and the bal
lot box.
"It is not at all improbable that
the action of the assembly is a part
of a movement of organized capital, of
which the democratic and republican
parties are the political champions,
to discourage the people with the
methods afforded by representative
government and to provoke them to
resort to the methods of violence. We
shall do all in our power to expose
this conspiracy .and defeat its pur
pose." GILL FAVORS BOARD OF 7
Portland Senator Writes Governor
Indorsing Fisheries Plan.
SALEM. Or., Jan. 7. (Special.) A
state game and fish commission com
posed of seven members, as pro
posed following a conference of the
fisheries Industries and game com
mittee of both houses of the legis
lature held here Monday, has the
indorsement of Senator John Gill, of
Portland, according to a letter re
ceived from him at the executive of
f ices today.
Mr. Gill, although unable to be
present at the conference, said in
his letter to the governor that he
believed a board of seven members,
with divided powers, would prove
satisfactory to both the game and
commercial fishing interests, while
two separate bodies would entail
waste, friction and might result in
inef Ilciency.
FAIR TRANSFER ARRANGED
Linn County Exhibition to Be
Moved From Scio to Albany.
ALBANY. Or., Jan. 7. (Special.)
Arrangements have been completed
entirely for the transfer of the Linn
county fair from Scio to Albany. The
officers of the local fair association
have completed the purchase of the
stock in the Linn County Fair asso
ciation so a board of directors favor
eble to holding the fair here will be
rhoscu in the annual election.
The deal which has been pending
nevera! months has been closed satis
factorily to everyone interested in
both organizations and will result
in all sections of the county working
together for a big fair.

SALEM, Or., Jan. 7. (Special.) In

SO US
MEMBERS
duced at the special session of the
legislature here next week by the
state industrial accident commission
will be a bill placing the sum of
$400,000, set aside by the commission
through an act of the 1919 legislature
for the construction of a hospital for
industrial cripples, back into the ac
cident fund.
Under the present law it is incum
bent upon the commission to build
the hospital in Salem. The commis
sioners feel that because most' of the
larger industries are located in and
about Portland the hospital, if con
structed, should be located there. It
is said also that the commission .is
opposed to building a hospital at this
time, due to conditions which would
make its cost almost double that in
normal times.
Two other bills to be presented by
the commission will provide for in
creased rates of compensation to in
jured workmen and the establishing
of physical and rehabilitation service.
AD CLUB HEflHS FASSETT
EX - MAYOR OF SPOKANE
BRINGS OPTIMISTIC MESSAGE.
Mayor Baker Introduces Visitor as
- Man Who Had Courage to Get
Out of Public Office-.
C. M. Fassett. ex-mayor of Spokane,
who has Just completed nine years of
service as chief executive of his home
city, yesterday brought from the Spo
kane Ad club to their Portland breth
ren a message of optimism and good
cheer. Mayor Baker introduced the
visitor as " a student of public utili
ties who has become a master of his
subject, and remarkable as a man for
having had the courage to get out-of
public office."
"The spirit of the American people
is such, that any crisis that may arise
will be met successfully," said Mr.
Fassett. "Do not believe' any per
son who tells you there is anything
seriously wrong with this country.- It
isn't true. The differences that we
have observed in the views of men
upon the question of the league of
nations do not approach in bitterness
those which occurred when the con
stitution of the United States was
being framed in the city of Philadel
phia. It may be that the league of
nations will be venerated by millions
of people of the world in the future.
"There is a spirit of idealism that
rules in the hearts of tlie American
people that will carry us safely
through any difficulties that may
arise.
"Because there are a few radicals
in industry and a few in the ranks
of labor is no cause for alarm. A
campaign of education is needed per
haps one that will get to the work
ers who have been lead astray, to
show them that followlpg wrong
teachings can only lead to disaster.
Voluntary obedience to authority is
essential."

HOPE FOR RELIEF BY
HIGH PAY HELD VAIN
Prosecution of Profiteers Also
Promises Little.
RAILROADERS HAVE PLAN
Brotherhood Alliance With Farm
ers Held Only Way to Deal
With Economic Situation.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. (By the As
sociated Press.) Failing to obtain
satisfactory relief from the high cost
of living, either through further wage
advances by the railroad administra
tion, or from the anti-profiteering
campaign of the department of
justice, officials of the four big rail
road brotherhoods and the railway
shop crafts affiliated with the Ameri
can Federation of Labor have decided
to seek solution for themselves
through co-operative buying, produc
tion and distribution.
This was construed in some quar
ters as indicating that demands for
further wage Increases would not be
pressed pending outcome of the ex
periment. Details of the co-operative scheme
have not yet been completed, but
plans have been under consideratiop
since the farmer-labor conference at
Chicago in November. The forma
tion of the Ail-American Farmer
Labor or Co-operative commission, an
outgrowth of the conference, was an
nounced today at its offices.
Co operation Held Solution.
Warren S. Stone, grand chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers and one of the organizers of
the Chicago meeting. Is general treas
urer of the co-operative commission,
and other officials of the railway
employes' organizations are officers
of the commission.
Representatives of the four big
brotherhoods conferred today with
Howard Figg, special assistant to
the attorney-general . in charge of the
campaign against the high cost of
living.
After the meeting Mr. Figg said
brotherhood representatives had come
to obtain first-hand information re
garding results achieved by the de
partment of justice and had informed
him that their organizations planned
to solve their own problems of living
costs through co-operative methods.
Higher Pay Plen Vain.
Indications that pressure from rail
way workers for increased wages
might be lessened were seen in a
statement by Bert M. "Jewell, acting
president of the railway department
of the American Federation of Labor,
that "an increase in pay will not
solve the .problem." Jewell asserted
that higher wages, accompanied by
a proportionate increase in prices, re
sults in a "vicious circle," which
leaves the railroad man no better off
after the increase in prices than he
was with the smaller salary.
Other officers of railway workers'
organizations saw no hope for relief
in prosecution of profiteers and de
clared the only way to deal with an
economic situation is with economic
factors.
An alliance of the farmers, the or
ganized producers, on the one hand,
with the laborers or organized con
sumers on the other hand, is the pur
pose of the co-operative commission,
said Jewell, who is a member of the
commission. It aims to "conduct a
vigorous campaign for direct dealing
between farm producers and city con
sumers and as soon as feasible be
tween city producers and farm con
sumers." Co-operative Bank Planned.
Inauguration of extensive co-operative
schemes among the railroad
brotherhoods' membership, immediate
ly after the Chicago conference in
February, was predicted by H. E.
Wills, executive representative of the
locomotive engineers. Plans for the
organization of a co-operative bank,
authorized by the brotherhood of loco
motive engineers before the war, may
soon be pushed to completion, Mr.
Wills said, and steps taken to estab
lish co-operative stores and distribu
tion facilities to supply members of
the brotherhood with necessaries of
life at reasonable prices.
Mr. Wills expressed the belief hat
other organizations would follow the
example of the united brotherhood of
maintenance of way employes and
railway shop laborers, who, he said,
recently purchased knitting and un
derwear plants, a glove factory and
a tubing concern and entered hito
contracts with overall makers and
manufacturers of other articles. The
plan also called for the erection of
warehouses as distribution centers.
Oscar H. McGill of the Western Co
operative Timber Mills is general sec
retary.
Federation Xot Concerned.
The commission is said to be pro
ceeding independently of Samuel
Gompers, president, and other of.
ficials of the American Federation
of Labor. A report by a committee
of the November farmer-labor con
ference was virtually "pigeon-holed
by International officers of unions
affiliated with the American Feder
ation of Labor at their meeting De
cember 13, It was said.
Federation officials today, contend
ed that there was no conflict be
tween the federation and the new
commission, but that the federation
had its own co-operative plans on
which it has been working for a
number of years and intended to con
tinue along its own lines.
RUEFS FREEDOM WIDENED
Ex-Polltioal Boss Freed of All Pa
role Prohibitions.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7. After
having been at lioerty on parole since
August 25. 1913, Abraham Ruef,
former political boss of San Fran
cisco, who was convicted of bribery
after a sensational attempt to over
throw the district attorney, was freed
of all the parole prohibitions today.
Today marked the completion of
Ruefs 14-year term, which his credits
reduced to eight years and ten
months. He was committed to San
Quentin penitentiary March 6, 1911.
For the first time In approximately
12 years, counting the period of h
Incarceration in the county Jail
while awaiting trial, Ruef may visit
a cafe where liquor is permitted, may
leave the city without a permit and
may sign a contract.
REDS .CAPTURE TAGANROG
British Guns and Tanks Among
Bolshevik. Booty.
LONDON. Jan. 7. The bolsheviki
have occupied Taganrog, in the ter
ritory of the Don Cossacks on the
north shore of the Sea Azov.
A Moscow wireless message says
I eral Deuikiue's former headquarters,
at noon Tuesday. The booty includes
British heavy guns and tanks.
The capture of Taganrog on the
northeastern army of the Sea of
Azov, together with the operations of
the enemy forces eastward of Stavro
pol, seems virtually to have isolated
the Caucasus from Russia proper.
The sweep of the bolsheviki in the
region of Taganrog and westward
also is a direct menace of the north
ern shores of the Black tea to Odessa
and beyond. A bolshevik wireless
communication Tuesday asserted that
large numbers of the populace of
Odessa already were fleeing to Con
stantinople fearful of the approach
of the enemy forces, although a dis
patch from Odessa dated Wednesday
said defensive preparations were
being made and that the city would
not be given up without a struggle.
BRITISH MENACE IS SEEN
GERMAN'S CONVINCED BOLSHE
VISM" GREATEST ENEMY.
Government Newspaper Asserts
Reds "Have Good Instinct for
Britain's Asiatic Position."
BY CTRIL BROWN.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement)
BERLIN. Jan. 7. (Special Cable.)
Recent developments refocus Ger
man attention on the world peril of
bolshevlsm. with mixed emotions.
Many Germans now are seriously con
vinced that bolshevlsm is Britain's
main enemy and the real menace to
the British empire of today.
The government organ, Vorwaerts,
goes so far as to talk of "the red ad
vance on India" and says: "Russian
bolsheviki have a good instinct for
Britain's vulnerable Asiatic position.
From now on we must pay closer at
tention to events in central Asia. Eng
land s nervous watchfulness tells us
of political events of weight taking
place there."
The German belief that bolshevlsm
is bothering the British empire may
soon serve to brace up Germany to
balk against the fulfillment of the
most distasteful of the peace .terms.
German Joy over the reports that bol-
shevism is making headway in Per
sia, Afghanistan aiid'lndia with Egypt
ripe for a revolt, is dimmed, however,
by the argument that the Russian
reds may soon be sp strong as to
prove a menace to the fatherland as
well.
It is believed here that after t'ne
bolsheviki clean up Denikine and Kol
chak they will concentrate on Poland
next, and as the Germans credit the
Poles with no great military power of
resistance, the unpleasant thought is
arising in German minds that Ger
many may soon be the battle buffer
between bolshevlsm and the western
world.
German military specialists are be
ginning earnestly to talk of east
Prussia as destined to be the battle
ground for a decisive battle between
bolshevism and kultur.

CHASE OF 2 YEARS ENDS
Philadelphia Man Taken to Govern
or's Island to Await Action
by Court-Martial.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 7.
Grover- Cleveland Bergdoll. wealthy
son of a former brewer and charged
with being a draft dodger and de
serter from the army, was captured
today while hiding in the residence
of his mother. He is a prisoner on
Governor's island, in New York har
bor, held for court-martial in New
York.
The capture of Bergdoll, whose
brother, Erwin, well-known automo
bile racer, is still missing, also
charged with dodging the draft, was
as sensational as has been his career
in the last five years. Over a dozen
federal and city officers participated
in the raid. Resistance was offered
by the mother, Mrs. Emma Bergdoll,
who threatened to shoot the officers
and who was disarmed only after a
struggle.
Mother Ia Held.
She was held In $10,000 bail on
charges of assault and battery with
intent to kill and conspiracy to pre
vent the execution of a search-and-arrest
warrant. She threatened death
to 'any officer who entered her horn?,
federal agents said. Strategy was
used and the front and rear entrances
were forced at the same time. A
search revealed Grover hiding !n a
window box seat on the second floor.
Grover Bergdoll's father is dead.
The young man was much in the
public eye before he was accused of
draft-dodging. The owner of fast
automobiles, he was several times
heavily fined for speeding and reck
less driving. He was in numerous
collisions, in one of which six persons
were injured. Later he took to avia
tion and was charged by the po'lice
with flying too low over the city.
When drafted, Grover was alleged
by the federal agents- to have de
clared he would never fight against
Germany, though he was born in this
country. In 1914 he offered his serv
ices as an aviator through the local
German consul.
CAPTURE PLEASES BEKGDOLL
Prisoner Tells of Visit to Pacific
Coast While Fugitive.
NEW TORK, Jan. 7. Grover Berg
doll, who was arrested in Philadel
phia today charged with evading the
draft laws, was taken late today to
Governor s Island, where his case will
come before an army courtmartial.
"I'm glad I was captured." Berg
doll declared. "I have traveled all
over the country since 1917. After
shipping my machine back home I
went out to the Pacific coast, spend
ing oonsiderable time in San Fran
cisco, San Diego and Los Angeles. I
bought a new car and went to Omaha
and motored all over the west. Then
I came east."
Bergdoll said that once durlng-the
two years' hunt for him he was ar
rested at Peoria, 111., for speeding In
his automobile and gave his right
name to the police, but was released
on payment of a $50 fine.
He also declared that he had been
prejudged a deserter. He had been
roaming about Philadelphia in 1917.
he asserted and had failed to answer
his draft call promptly, whereupon a
friend told him that he was charged
with desertion. Bergdoll said he "got
scared and beat it." but later tried
to effect a compromise with the dis
trict attorney's office by mail and
failed.

ACCUSED SANE BUT UNDEVEL
OPED, SATS DOCTOR,
Ciie of State in Trial of Man Ac
cused of Murflerlng Fiancee
Is Not Vet Closed.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7. Lengthy
cross-examinations of pro secution
witnesses who had testified that the
accused was sane at the time of the
alleged crime, prevented the state
from closing its case In rebuttal here
today in the trial of Harry New, al
leged murderer of his fiancee, Freda
Lesser.
Dr. D. H. Calder was the expert tes
tifying at the time of adjournment.
He had testified on direct examina
tion that he reached his conclusion
that New was sane when he shot Miss
Lesser. July 5 last, on the basis not
only of a hypothetical question pro
pounded by the state, but on exam
inations he made of the defendant in
the county jail.
Under cross-examination the doctor
said he considered New feeble-minded
and "an undeveloped man mentally."
He admitted also that he had gained
the impression from his examina
tions that New was not feigning in
sanity or giving other than honest
answers to questions. If the hypo
thetical question asked the defense of
its experts several days ago was
based on truthful testimony, he
thought the defendant was a danger
ous man and ought to be confined.

WHY CATARRH
COMES WITH
Nature Gives a Cry for Help,
That Will Make This Winter
a Season of Good Health
for You.
Winter and Catarrh are companions
In evil. Catarrh Is sweeping civiliza
tion from one continent to another,
because civilization does not follow
Nature's laws. Nature tells us what
to do and we pay no heed.
Down deep in the body of man lie
streams of blood, going everywhere
and making a complete circuit of the
body every few seconds. In these
rivers, brooks and streamlets of blood
flow millions of little soldiers called
corpuscles, whose duty It ia to heal
hurts expel the enemies of man
Kerms from the body and carry
away impurities.
Nature, with the blood, builds bone
and hair and teeth and flesh. She
does this so quickly and with such
absolute perfection that if we put
into our mouths and stomachs the
things the body needs, nature will
divUl her own chemicals and build
up .ny torn-down portions.
Catarrh is a tearing down of mu
cous membranes. A mucous mem
brane Is one of the wonders of sci
ence. It does the important work of
the body in some lines. When it be
comes diseased, you quickly have the
alarm from nature. Catarrh, in most
cases, first warns us from a condition
of the nose and throat. These mem
branes cannot do their work. They
become clogged. Impurities form
and choke them. Decay starts, un
pleasant odors arise, gradually It
spreads until the membrane Is almost
worthless. Then we learn the fault
is with the blood. There, is too mucn
work for the corpuscles to do not
enough to do it. They need help.

nose, and taking pills, powders and
purgatives will not give nature what
she needs. She changes the chemical
nature of many drugs that we take,
according to our body's condition.
She will not change those things she
lacks and needs. Certain vegetable
matter taken into the system gives
nature her tools. Armed with the
power' to protect herself and heal
herself, nature gladly hurries the
new vegetable reinforcement to the
injured parts, and we at once feel as
though a great strain had been lifted
from us.
Nature, during winter, changes the
blood of man and we, because of our
habits, continue to do those things
which are against nature. Then, far

TAKE MEDICINE
IN CAPSULE FORM
Gives Quicker Action The
Ideal Method for Home
Treatment.
Why medicines in capsule form are
best wu recently explained by a med
ical authority as follows: "The ob
ject of taking medicine is to get quick
results and also make the taking as
easy as possible. The capsule form
does this. The palate does not revolt
at the gelatine coaling, no matter how
repellent to the taste are the dru&s
contained. The capsule also goes down
the throat without inconvenience.
"In the stomach the gelatine coal
ing dissolves almost immediately and
the medicines start work promptly.
The capsule is far superior to the hard
pill, which, especially if it has been
exposed to the air. often parses
through the syetein without beint;
allowed."
A striking illustration of the effect
iveness of capsule form medicine is
given by Grip Fix. the remedy that re
lieves a cold in a night. This prepara
tion contains Uuinine, Salol, Cafieia
Curate, Casca.ru. and Camphor Mono
bromate, the drus usually used by

wonderfully quick results. Just what
is needed.
