S URGED
TO SEAT SOCIALISTS
New York Republican Mem
ber to Introduce Proceedings.
SYMPATHIES IN QUESTION
Senator Poindexter Writes That
They Should Be Excluded If
Favoring Soviet Rule.
ALBANY, X. T., Jan. 14. While the
assembly judiciary committee today
was setting: the stage for the trial
here next Tuesday of the five social
ist assemblymen suspended at the
opening: of the legislature, it became
known that another effort to have the
lower house rescind its action and re
seat the five, is being planned for
Monday night's session. .
After the commission had adopted
rules under which the trial would be
held and had requested Attorney
General Newton to oonduct its case,
employing: whatever additional coun
sel be might, desire. Assemblyman
William O. Amos, republican, of New
York, announced that on the e- e of
the first public hearing, he would in
troduce proceedings to have the sus
pended members restored to their
seats.
A similar motion to reconsider. In
troduced last Monday night, was re
jected. 71 to 33.
Thaddeus C. Sweet, speaker of the
assembly, who launched the ousting
movement, tonight made public a
letter from United States Senator
Miles Poindexter, republican, of
Washington, approving the action
taken by the assembly.
"It is true," wrote Mr. Poindexter,
"that man is free to join one political
party or another, so long as that po
etical party is a law-abiding organi
zation. Every man has a right to ad
vocate changes in government to be
brought about by constitutional meth
ods. No man, however, has the legal
right to advocate the accomplish
ment of social or political reforms
by lawless force and violence. Such
a doctrine is an attack upon the foun
dations of the constitution.
"I do not know whether these sus
pended members advocated the soviet
government of Russia or not. If they
do, then they advocate a criminal
regime. The soviet government of
Russia is based on lawless force, ter
rorism, intimidation,' tyranny, wan
ton bloodshed, confiscation of prop
erty all leading to the destruction of
civilization. If the suspended mem
elect of the New York assembly ad
vocate this regime, then they ap
prove a system in which the con
stituent assembly of he people of
Russia was turned out of the as
sembly room, not upon a Judicial or
legislative inquiry, but arbitrarily
at the point of bayonets in the hands
of soldiers.
"It is highly proper for the New
York assembly to inquire whether or
not those presenting themselves for a
seat in the assembly are open and
avowed enemies of the state and
nation."
SUGAR DEALERS 1ICTE0
CHICAGO MERCHANTS ACCUSED

Commodity That Cost 10 to
1 1 Cents Alleged.
CHICAGO, Jan. 14. Indictments

more voted by the grand jury, but

of the Mutual Grocery company, offi
cer of the See-Moon company, and
the executive heads of the Surkin &
Portnoy company.
The Mutual Grocery company offi
cers are charged with having con
spired to exact 17 cents a pound for
granulated sugar, the highest lawful
price being 11 cents. The other two
concerns are charged with conspiring
to exact excessive prices, the com
plaint being that the See-Moon com
pany bought sugar at 10 H cents and
turned It over to the Surkin & Port
noy company, which sold it to retail
ers at 21 cents.
CHICAGO FACES SHORTAGE

by City Comptroller.
CHICAGO, Jan. 14. Chicago faces
a deficit of more than f7.000.000 for
the coming year, according to a re
port submitted today to the council

Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea.
Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of sage tea and sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth'a Sage and Sulphur
Compound," you will get a large bot
tle of this old-time recipe. Improved
by the addition of other ingredients;
all ready to use. at very little cost.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.'
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
mac noDoay can ten it has been ap
plied it's so easy to use, too. You
Mmply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, tak
ing one strand at a time. By morning
Ihe gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re
stored to its natural color and look
glossy, soft and beautiful. Adv.

ASSEMBLY IS PRAISED
POIXDEXTER COMMENDS ACT
IN BARRING SOCIALISTS.
Speaker of Xew York Body Told
That Constitution Provides Re
course for Everybody.
OREGO.VIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Jan. 14. Senator Poin
dexter has sent a letter to Thaddeus
C. Sweet, speaker of the New York
assembly, congratulating him on the
action of the assembly in suspend
ing five socialist members of the
body pending an Inquiry into, their
political views. .
He said: ;"The NewYork assembly,
I assume, as is usual with such as
semblies, is the judge of the election
and eligibility of its members. It is
highly proper for it to inquire
whether or not those presenting
themselves for a seat In the assembly
are open and avowed enemies of the
constitution of the state and nation.
"The constitution of the state and
the nation establishes a government
of due process of law,, and orderly
and formal political procedure, based
upon the free suffrages of the people.
If the suspended members are not
willing to accept this fundamental
condition of government, and if this
fact should appear from the inquiry
which I understand the assembly has
ordered, then I, as a citizen of the
United States, would feel that you
and your associates have rendered a
great patriotic service by your cour
age and initiative in taking notice
of this sinister and revolutionary
movement in this effective way."
CIDER EXEMPTION ARGUED
Attorney Contends Beverage Ex
cepted by Prohibition Law.
That cider Is beyond the pale of
beverages coming within the one
half of 1 per cent alcoholic prohibition
under the state dry law and must be
proved intoxicating beyond a reason
able doubt in prosecutions under that
law Is the unusual contention of John
W. Kaste made in argument before
Presiding Judge McCourt yesterday
on stipulated facts in the case of
Costa Christ and Jim Christ.
Judge McCourt declined to pass on
the showing made, holding that it was
a question which could be raised prop
erly only on a motion for a directed
verdict during trial of the case. Trial
was set for today.
Attorney Kaste's claim is that cider
(s excepted specifically from the law
prohibiting the sale of mixtures and
beverages containing more than one
half of 1 per cent of alcohol..
The Christ brothers are accused of
selling cider containing 6 per cent of
alcohol.
WESTERNERS UNDAUNTED
(Continued From First Paga.)
obtain from congress and warned the
western visitors that they should un
derstand this fact at the beginning.
He said, however, that as chairman
of the senate irrigation committee he
would give every aid possible, but
suggested that it might be necessary
to seek the money by way of a loan
rather than an appropriation.
Senator Thomas Dubious.
Senator Thomas of Colorado was
then Introduced and, with his usual
candor, the Colorado senator spread
a large wet blanket over the whole
gathering by saying that he had made
himself unpopular ever since he had
been in the senate by opposing appro
priations. He told of the present con
dition of the treasury and left the in
ference that the appropriation asked
by the visitors was one which should
not be consicrorea. .
When he had closed Governor Hart
of Washington jumped to his feet and
in a two-minute speech said the west
erners had no d.oubt that if congress
could be shown that money spent in
western reclamation would make more
money and turn increased taxes into
the treasury an ear would likely be
given.
"Some men make money by saving
it," said Governor Hart, "while others
make money by spending money," and
apparently feeling- satisfied that he
5
it-
had made sufficient reply to Senator
Thomas took his hat and overcoat and
walked out.
Senator1 Morris Sheppard of Texas
then delivered a spirited talk which
was so obviously a speech for the
benefit of the visiting delegation from
his home state that he drew a heated
reply from Senator McNary. Senator
Sheppard said:
"I want these gentlemen from the
west to know that I stand ready to
help them in this-matter. The blame
for the failure of our country to get
what it deserves rests upon some of
our western senators and I think their
constituents, should make them un
derstand what is expected of them."
McNary Resents Imputations.
Senator McNary replying, said he
resented the imputations of Senator
Sheppard as to other western sena
tors. As chairman of the senate irri
gation committee he said he had found
the western senators generally stand
ing together for the west and that the
reflections of the senator from Texas
I were unfair and unwarranted.
Just as Senator McNary started to
tell the conference that Senator Shep
pard had been absent from most' of
the meetings of the irrigation com
mittee considering western projects,
he discovered that the Texas senator
had disappeared.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma was
encouraging in his remarks, declaring
that if the means were not already
provided in the federal reserve and
farm loan bank acts for arranging a
loan of all the money needed for the
west a way could be found without
the appropriation of a dollar by con
gress. His plan was a bond issue, to
be guaranteed by the states or by
associations.
Borah Is Optimistic.
Senators Borah. Idaho; and Ken
drick, Wyoming, made optimistic
speeches after Governors Davis of
Idaho, Bamberger of Utah, Hart of
Washington and Campbell of Arizona
had spoken. Governor Davis pre
sided at the conference after Sen
ator McNary had Introduced all of
the governors. Whitney I Boise of
Portland spoke for Governor Olcott
of Oregon, who was not in attend
ance. GENERAL'S FLAE WED

Pershing will have his headquarters

ble honors are to be paid the general

H. Abercrombie of the 863d Infantry,
91st . division, wbjo was killed in
France, has been selected by the com
mittee to make the presentation of

SAFEGUARD CREDIT,
AMERICA, ADVISED
-
War Finance Corooration
Head Gives Views.
BRITISH VIEW ANSWERED
Eugene Meyer Jr. Says Nation Must
Cease Taking Risk That
Were Met During- War.
NEW YORK, Jan. 14. Sharp excep
tion to the views of Sir George Paish
on possibilities of assistance for
Europe by the United States was
taken today by Eugene Meyer Jr.,
managing director of the war finance
corporation, at a luncheon of the
American Manufacturers' Export as
sociation today. His address fol
lowed one by the British economist,
who reiterated his opinion that It
was the duty of America to give
Europe enormous credits to aid in
rehabilitation. The penalty. Sir George
said, would be loss of foreign trade.
"Sometimes," said Mr. Meyer, "when
I listen to the discussion of the sub
ject from the other side. In which
we are told what we should d6, what
we haven't done, what we must do, I
wonder if it is realized what we have
done. Not only have we loaned from
the United States government out of
the funds collected from liberty loans
and taxes )2,;66. 000,000, but we have
sold practically on credit about
1700.000,000 worth of our goods food
supplies, machinery, motor vehicles
sent to Europe for purposes of our
army and auxiliary organizations.
This does not represent a cost to
this country of 1700,000.000, but a
sum largely In excess of that. Our
grain corporation has sold soma grain
on credit and our merchants have
granted considerable sums of credit
in the aggregate and our investors
havo bought a total of a large amount
of securities during 1919.
All Lines Short.
"When Sir George Paish speaks of
our surplus goods. I would like to
see them tabulated. There is a short
age of almost everything In the world
that we produce today.
"It takes more than lenders;. It
takes' borrowers to do business and
the borrowers must come to this
country with sound business proposi
tions. Whatever our sympathies may
be. I believe that it is more in the
interests of the borrowing countries,
of the needy countries, to consider
these things, except in cases where
it is a question of pure relief, on a
sound business basis. I feel that at
this time we are placing perhaps too
much reliance on the magic word
'credit.'
"I do not say that this is not a
time for the use of credit, but I do
say, and the money markets and the
investment markets the world over
show It, It is time when we must be
gin to use it with more caroj than we'
have during the war. We could af
ford ito take risks then that we must
cease taking now. We must look
forward to the, time when our balance
of trade will be balanced In other
ways than by paper."
Aid for Starving Asked.
Sir George said that one of the
purposes of. his visit to the United
States was to "ask you to assist those
starving people of Vienna to get
through this particular time."
"The body of Austria has been cut
away from the head," he said, "and
for the .moment the head must be
maintained because there is no con
nection with the body. I am sure
you, the American people, with your
great heart, are going to help those
helpless women and children at
Vienna and that you will not allow
them to starve. But, apart from
Austria, I am not here to- ask for
gifts. I am here to tell you that we
shall be able and ready to pay for
everything you send, us."

ferences of commercial and financial

not included in the original. call. It
was announced that delegates from
these countries would be invited to
attend the conference.
"To sum up the document." says the
official announcement of the confer
ence, "It is a call to the people to re
turn to pre-war standards of reason
an appeal to the reparation com
mission for wise moderation as to the
best business policy for all concerned
an appeal to the governments to
arrest inflation and meet Inevitable
burdens by increasing their revenues
rather than by increasing their debts,
an appeal to the people to work and
save, an appeal to leaders of com
merce and finance to get together in
order to study the problems dispas
sionately and take it up as a business
proposition, relying on Independent
action rather than government inter
vention." Among- prominent American signa
t6ries are J. P. Morgan. Herbert

CHROME BILLS NUMEROUS
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ARE
ASKED FROM GOVERNMENT.
Only Those Who Have Formal Re
quests to Mine Mineral Will
Be Paid Under Ruling.
OREOONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, Jan. 14. Claims amount
ing to many thousands of dollars
have been filed by residents of Ore
gon who responded to Uncle Sam's
appeal to patriotic citizens to mine
chrome and help win the war. The
mining of chrome is an unprofitable
Industry In this country except under
war conditions, which cut oft the
cheaper foreign supply.
Many persons got busy digging
chrome in -four counties of Oregon
Grant, Jackson, Josephine and Curry.
Besides this activity at home, many of
them developed large chrome mines
in northern California. While nu
merous claims have been filed with
the war mineral relief commission In
this city, many more are likely to
have to be considered before the mat
ter is settled.
In ruling on the statute which pro
vided for reimbursement of losses
suffered by chrome producers when
the war was suddenly ended, Attorney-General
Palmer held that only
those were entitled to reimbursement
who had received a formal request
from the government to produce
chrome. , Those who. acted simply on
placards that were posted in Oregon
and California and elsewhere appeal
ing to men to dig chrome and other
needed minerals are barred from any
compensation. -
It is expected that congress will
enact some additional legislation to
cover claims of this class. The list of
claims on file with the commission,
which follows, includes only those
who gave their residence as in Ore
gon. The claims are: .

HARNEY ELECTION CALLED
VOTERS TO PASS OX CREATION'
OF IRRIGATION PROJECTS,
County Court Enters Order Sepa
rating "Wet" Lands From "Dry."
February 10 Date of Voting.
BURXS, Or.. Jan. 14. (Special.)
County Judge Levens and County
Commissioners Haas and McKinnon
have entered an order of the county
court separating the "wet" lands from
the "dry" lands of Harney county's
proposed irrigation district, this ar
rangement having been agreed to by
C. B. McConnell, attorney and promot
er, who has taken a leading part In
the proposed irrigation undertakings.
The final order submitting to the peo
ple the question of whether the big
district, or "wet" district, as it Is
known, should be created under the
name -of the Harney Valley Irrigation
district, has been signed by the county
court, and February 10 has been fixed
as the date for the election.
Mr. McConnell, representing the dis
trict that first started to organize and
that included both wet and dry lands,
under the petition known as the 11.
M. Horton petition, has consented that
the wet lands should be excluded from
that district, and lias paved the way
for harmonious and immediate action
looking toward the development of
two of the largest irrigation districts
in the state, comprising ' more than
11S, 000 acres.
There now remains to be brought
about only the formal organization of
these two by means of the affirma
tive vote for the respective districts
at the election called and the election
of boards of directors.
This done, the directors in each dis
trict will prepare or have prepared
the necessary plans for reclamation
and will secure estimates on the cost
of constructing dams for the reser
voirs and digging the. necessary dis
tribution systems. A large part of
thts work has already been done by
the United States reclamation depart
ment and the state engineer's office.
When these plans are submiMed to
the state engineer for his approval
and he has checked them up and ap
proved the plans then the districts
will vote the necessary bonds to carry
out the construction.

eighteen years.

By morning most. If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely

times better. You can get liquid ar- !
von at any drug store. It is inexpen
