complished through one commission,
with a segregation of duties and re
sponsibilities relating to commercial

men of high standing and ability and
have the support of the great major

ulation already is rife here regard
ing who will be the' next postmaster.
In the event a democrat is elected to

pointed. Mr. Huckestein' was named
postmaster soon after President Wil
son was elected, and since then has
rtaken an active part in democratic
activities here. .

SOVIET ACTIVITY IS "BLIXD"
New York Senator Says Lenine Let
ters Are Distributed.
ELMIRA. N. T., Jan. 9. The pre
tended commercial activity of the
soviet : bureau in New York was "a
blind for distribution of letters from
Lenlne to American working men and
the distribution of other propaganda.
directed against the government,"
declared State Senator Clayton R.
Lusk in a statement today as chair
man of the Joint legislative commit
tee investigating radicalism in New
York state.
Senator Lusk answered the charges
In the form of questions which the
five socialist assemblymen, as yet un
seated in the state assembly, had pre
pared to present to the legislature
regarding the activities of the' Joint
committee.
Senator Lusk's statement said in
part: .
"No one outside of members, coun
sel and agents of the committee and
state and local officials have had any
thing to do -with the so-called raids
on the soviet bureau or any other or
ganization. No papers seized have
been received by any one other than
agents of the committee. Any papers
seized at the soviet bureau were
brought -in evidence before the com
mittee in public hearings.
"R. N. Nathan (said to be British
secret service chief in the United
States), never had any. more informa
tion to my knowledge, than did the
newspaper ,reporters and the public
generally. There were no papers of
commercial value to anyone.
"The sergeant-at-arms of the com
mittee is the sergeant-at-arms of the
senate. He has never, to ray knowl
edge, received money from any source
except the state of New York. The
Lusk committee is not responsible for
the action of the assembly. The
speaker of the assembly is a mem
ber of the committee and has knowl
edge of the evidence against the
members. The issue is clean cut. If
these men believe in and work to
bring about the overthrow of' this
government by force and violence,
they will undoubtedly be denied their
seats. If not, they will be permitted
to serve.
"These charges against, the com
mittee are made by them with the
full knowledge of their falsity and
solely for distracting the attention
of the public from the Issue which
is simply whether they personally are
advocating and attempting to over
throw our government by violence
and revolution. They should be held
to this issue and given a fair trial."

LITIGATION LOOMS
OVER STATION LEASE
Southern Pacific Fails to Ac
cept Holder's Offer
TIME EXPIRES MARCH 2
George Jj. Greenfield Declares Sud
' lease for Fourth Street Prem
ises Is Xo Longer Open.
Litigation over possession of the
lease, to the Fourth-street premises
now occupied by the Southern Pacific
electric station appears to be in pros
pect, according to George I Green
field, shoe dealer, who is the holder
of a 10-year lease to the property.
Issued to him by W. A. T. Bushong of
the Alder Hotel Investment company,
owners, effective March 2 of this year.
Until 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon
was the limit set by Mr. Greenfield
for the acceptance by the Southern
Pacific of the sub-lease he had ten-
aered to the railroad company at a
monthly rental of $1250. Officials
of the company made no move to avail
themselves of the offer, nor gave any
hint as to the attitude they take in
the matter, said Mr. Greenfield, who
declared that the" time limit would
not be renewed.
"I made the company a fair offer,"
said Mr. Greenfield last night. "I was
not disposed to oust them or to
cause them trouble. But they have
declined to deal with me and I antici
pate that my. rights will have to be
determined in the-usual legal manner
after March 1.
Farther Delay Not Intended.
"Further delay cannot be permitted
as the present quarters of my store
have been leased by a San Francisco
firm, to take possession March L Un
less I am enabled to move these peo
ple will claim Just damages from me
and I in turn will have to take legal
recourse In my own Interests against
the railroad company."
According to Mr. Greenfield, the
lease to the Fourth-street depot prop
erty has been held by the Southern
Pacific on sub-lease from John Yeon
at a figure that represented actual
loss to the latter. Possession of the
premises was gained by Mr. Yeon
several years ago, when he took over
the unexpired lease of the E. P. Charl
ton company, owners of the Wool
worth stores, in order to permit the
Woolworth people to occupy quarters
in the Yeon building..
Monthly Loss Pocketed.
The Charlton lease, said Mr. Green
field, was for $1150 a month, the
amount that Mr. Yeon has paid to the
Alder Hotel Investment company dur
ing the life of the contract. But in
order to find a tenant for the prem
ises, after the Woolworth store had
been moved to the Yeon building, Mr.
Yeon sub-leased to the Southern Pa
cific, according to Mr. Greenfield, for
$450, pocketing a monthly loss of
$700. It is this lease which expires,'
through the terms of the old Charl
ton contract, at the end of February.
W. A. T. Bushonjr. of the Alder
Hotel Investment company, says Mr.
Greenfield offered the Southern Pa
cific a renewal of the lease for a
10-year period, at a figure approxi
mating the actual demands of the
Charlton lease. This the company de
clined, and on October last Mr. Bush
ong leased the premises, on and after
March 1, to Mr. Greenfield. The latter
offered the Southern Pacific a sub
lease to the depot quarters, intending
to remove his shoe store to the base
ment, which is included in the lease.
Court Contest Expected.
Though Southern Pacific officials
have declined to make any statement,
other than that they have no present
intention of changing the depot loca
tion, it is surmised that they will
take the question of lesseeshlp into
the courts, probably on the grounds
that they had an understanding with
W. A. T. Bushong relative to an ex
tension at the conclusion of thc'ir
present term of occupancy.
But Mr. Bushong and the Alder
Hotel Investment company are ob
viously bound to Mr. Greenfield's in
terests in the capacity of co-defendants,
inasmuch as he holds their lease
to the property, which declares thai
no other lease is in existence save
that of the Charlton company, ex
piring March 1.

Property Owners, Declaration.
Opposition to the proposed Boning
law for the city of Portland was ex
pressed by the Portland Realty board
yesterday, when the board took the
stand that euch a law would not be
for the best interests of the majority
of the citizens or property owners.
This was the first negative action
faken by any civic club in regard to
the zoning plan. The report of the
zoning committee condemning the
zoning plan and irglng its rejection,
around which about an hour's discus
sion centered, was adopted unani
mously. Not only did the resolution urge re
jection of the sonlng plan, but also
condemned the city planning commis
sion for using public funds and time
of publio officials to carry out prop
aganda favorable to the sonlng plan.
Little opposition has been shown, it
was said, because the opposition has
not been organized.
