OTHERS ARE INVESTIGATED MERCIER MAKES PLEA FOR WORKMEN HELD IN PRISON "Hindered From Fulfilling Their Religions Duties and - Deprived of. Spiritual Consolation," Cardinal Writes Von Falkenhausen. CARDIAL HERCIEB'S STORY Including ; his correspondence with tle German authorities In Belgium during the war, 1914 to 1918, edited by Professor Fernand Mayence of Louvain University and translated by the Benedictine Monks of St. Augustine's, Ramsgate, England. Canadian WTio Was Smuggled Into Country, Convicts and State Hospital Inmates Quizzed. Deportation hearings for Herman Eihulter and W. G. Kieveel, radical aliens and members of the labor conimunist party, were conducted yesterday by R. P. Bonham. chief Im migration inspector of the Portland dlRtrict. Both aliens were caught In the federal dragnet on the night of the recent "red" raids by department of J nut ice operatives and deputy United States marshals. Hchulter admitted having- been an organizer for the radical party, although Kieveel as serted his activities were confined solely to membership in the organiza tion. The hearings were private and neither man was represented by an attorney, although they could have procured counsel had they so desired. -As fast as the hearings are concluded, the records will be forwarded to Washington, D. C, where final dispo sition will be made. Other alien radicals who were identified with the labor communist party will receive hearings during the week. Canadian Get Hearing. Immigration officials also con ducted a hearing yesterday in the ease against Wilfred Bergeron, a Canadian Bubject who Is held for de portation. Bergeron was smuggled Into this country after having been denied admission and was caught at "Washougal. Wash., shortly after his arrival across the border. Mr. Bonham has just returned from Salem where he conducted hearings to determine whether or not four inmates of the state penitentiary and two inmates of the state hospital shall be deported. Of the convict cases, that against Wilgot Johanson is said to be the most serious. He is a radical Swede who was convicted of criminal syndicalism in the courts of eastern Oregon and is serving a ten-year sentence. He told Mr. Bon ham he has been an organizer In the I. W. W. and believes that the workers should overthrow the United States government by armed force. It Is considered certain he will be deported back. either Convicts Get Hearings. "William P. Culver, an ex-service irmn from Canada, is another undesir able whom immigration officials are seeking to deport. He is serving time for burglary. Julius Fromscak, a Pole serving time for burglary, and llija Bujnovich, an Austrian con victed of highway robbery, are the other convicts who were given de portation hearings. . Yoso Orsanic and Mrs. Ellen Ander son are the two asylum inmates against whom deportation charges were ftled. The former is a native of Austria, while M. Anderson is a Canadian subject. Mr. Bonham announced that other radicals whose activities have been under surveillance for the past several months, are either under ar rest now or will be arrested shortly and held for deportation hearings. The list of "reds" affiliated with the communist labor party will have hearings in advance of the others, and as soon as these cases are out of the way the less flagrant cases will receive immediate attention. A" sir S A specimen of adroit diplomacy hich wield no point of either sincerity of courtesy, the car dinal's written observation on the death of Baron von Bissing is a gem. I shall pray to the Lord, in all sin cerity," announced the prelate to Von der Lancken, "for the repose- of his soul." It is obvious, of course, that sinners are especially in need of prayers. Cardinal Mercler had enjoyed par ticular opportunities for studying the governor-general's character. It is doubtful, however, whether the pri mate, for all hia keenness, fully re alized at the time the depths of Von Bis9ings hypocrisy. The ' governor- Boerai s Dasic intentions were com pletely unmasked shoVtly after his death, when his 6000-word memorial was published in Das Groessere Deutschland, through the agency of his personal friend, W. Bacmeister. In this illuminating production, smog pretense is thrown altogether aside. "We shall have to observe in Bel gium," urges Von Bissing under his own signature, "during many years, the present system of dictature. We should abstain from any moderation or alleviation of our policy. The pro prietors who will choose to live out side the country will have to-be ex propriated. It is by force that we shall have to obtain the result that a population now still hostile resigns to German rule and submits to it." And here are some more choice ex tracts from the Von Biasing tract, ad vanced in favor of the Gorman an nexation of Belgium: "J'irt if Belgium becomes fres again, she will join the enemies of uermany. "Second Belgium must offer to the German armies an open passags In the direction or t rance. "Third She must be a barrier nro tecting the German industrial inter ests. "Fourth She will supply materials ana a marKet for German industry. "Fifth The loss of Belgium would be a serious blow to the prestige of German arm a and of the German lead ers.

"Dear Baron: I have heard of the large share you had in the speedy release or Mgr. Legraive and hasten to thank you. The joy bf the seminarists at the return of their venerable and beloved presi dent knew no bounds. The clergy and myself are still very much con cerned because Abbe Allaer was not able to return with his companion in captivity, while his aged mother is pining away in her loneliness. But we still hope that the governor-general's clemency will soon reach this worthy and deserving priest. . "Accept, dear baron, the assurance Of my sincere esteem.' (Signed) "D. I.

Dear Baron: My vicar-genef al has had the honor to give you a provision al answer to the letter which yon were good enough to write me.ori the 10th ultimo. Nevertheless I must revert to the subject matter of your corre spondence because I attach great Im portance to it and. thanks to yonr gracious intervention, do not despair of ultimately obtaining redress. - "You are kind) enough to inform me that, from a religious point of view. an improvement has been effected in the prison regime. Though I must confess I do not exactly perceive in what this mitigation consists, yet I am glad the lot of the prisoners has been softened and thank you for the efforts you have made to bring it about. "You appeal to pressure of work. Really, if instead of opening the gates of the arsenal at 7 A. M., you were to open them at 9 A. M., do you think work would suffer seriously? Is It not already enough that our poor work men are forced to exhaust their strength every day of the week in the service of their enemies? "I said, baron, that yon have been misled by the people commissioned to Inform you. Does not the incident brought to my notice yesterday sup ply an additional proof? I have not expressed to anybody my intention of going to St. Gudule's on the 21st of this month. I decided, on the con trary, several weeks ago, to sing the Te Deum in my cathedral, and I have informed the metropolitan chapter of my decision. The author of the re port which annoyed, you has there fore invented his story in every de tail and it is upon reports of this na ture that the German headquarters are disturbed, threaten, fix their de cisions, etc. ... "Can you not put an end to this Ir ritating procedure? "Again, on the lZtn Instant, after the funeral of the late lamented! M. Scholaeert at St. Gudule's, I lunched In the strictest privacy with a friend. Just as I was taking my seat again in my carriage, I was amased to see a group of about 20 people of the lower classes prowling about .just outside the house. Their presence was accounted for by two armed sen tries who were lying in wait for my exit and spying on my movements. I saw these two sentries with my own eyes, and bearing arms, too! "Is this meant for a joke? Bnt, if some day the joke becomes a tragedy, who is to be made answerable for it? (Signed) "D. J. CARDINAL MERCIER." (To Be Continued.)

HOUSEWIVES" 1 ASKED OFFICIAL- BEQUESTS REPORTS OX EXCESSIVE CHARGES. WHEN the strong arm of the United j States government reaches out and clasps the unwary within its grip, brotherly love will assert itself. Pat Gallagher is a representative from Malheur county in the state leg islature. He is a brother of Dan Gallagher, a well-to-do farmer of the HaJhcur country. Mrs- Pan Gallagher wanted a bearer eont. so her thoughtful husband pro ceeded to collect the needed-oumber of beaver hides and shipped them out to be made up into a warm coat which would withstand the rigors of an eastern Oregon winter. But Dan's thoughts were so bent upon pleasing his wife that he forgot to remember a few federal laws which make It compulsory to have such packages properly labeled and marked. Hence, Uncle Sam, in the person of the -United StateB attorney, filed a complaint against Dan, charging him with a violation of the federal law governing such shipments Dan is busily engaged on his east ern Oregon ranch, so brother Pat, who arrived in Portland Monday, from Sa lem, where he was very much a part of the late lamented extraordinary session of the legislature, appeared yesterday In federal court and en tered a plea of guilty for brother Dan. "Twenty-five dollars fine," pro nounced Judge Wolverton. Pat dug into his vest pocket and brought forth a state warrant which he had received for attending the ses sion. He turned it over to the clerk in payment of brother Dan's fine. Mrs. Dan Gallagher will get her beaver coat, while brother-in-law Pat will hie himself back to Ontario at once to collect from brother Dan. BARRELS AND KEU5. 344 Haw thorne Western Cooperage Co. Adv.

In the morning of April 11 the ad jutant 6f Count von Bismarck, 1 Krieschef of Malines, called on the cardinal in the name of the chief of the political department, with official intimation of the death of Baron von Bissing, which occurred in the even ing of the previous day. On receipt of this communication the cardinal wrote Baron von der Lancken the fol lowing letter: Archbishop's House, Malines, April 19, 1917. "To Baron von der Lancken, Chief of the Political Department of the Gov ernment General, Brussels: I am very mnch affected by your kind attention and wish to express my gratitude. Baron von Bissing was a believer; I remember he said one day in unmistakable accents': 'I am not a Catholic, but I believe in Christ.' I shall pray to our Lord in all sincerity for the repose of his soul. Accept, sir, the expression, of my sincere esteem. (Signedi) "D. J. CARDINAL MERC'IKft, "ArchbiBhop of Malinea" On April 14 Baron von Falken hausen was nominated in the place of Baron von Bissing. A prudent inter mediary expressed to the cardinal his wish to know whether he wanted to enter into personal relations with the new governor-general. In view of the then existing state of public feeling, his eminence considered that an ex change of visits would not be ex pedient Upon this Baron von Falken hausen commissioned the chief of the political department to announce of ficially to the cardinal his nomination to the post of governor-general and to assure him that he would be ready at all times to insure liberty of wor ship to the Belgians. CHAPTER XL. "Archbishop's House, Malinea, May 12, 1917. "To His Excellency, Baron von Falkenhausen, Governor - General, Brussels. "Sir: Emboldened by your excel lency's expressed wish to protect the religious interests of our people, I should like to recommend to your solicitude the workmen of the central works at Malines. I refrain from speaking of the conditions under which these wcrt-kmen have been en gaged at the arsenal. But the bishop of the diocese has been saddened to find that it has been made morally impossible for these poor workmen, who for the most part belong to Christian families, to hear mass on Sundays. Not only are they deprived of their Sunday's rest, but their work begins at S A. M. too early for the first mass, and only ends at noon, too late for the last masses, I have also the honor of calling your attention to the spiritual destitution of people detained on suspicion. As long as their cases are in process of investi gation they are precluded from as sisting at mass and are thus hindered from fulfilling their religious duties and deprived of their chief spiritual consolation- I may mention that the internal arrangements of our prison chapels are such as effectively to pre vent all Intercommunication between the prisoners. I will be obliged to your excellency for your favorable at tention to both these petitions. (Signed) "D. J. CARDINAL MERCIER." The governor-general replied through the Chief of the political de partment that He would institute an inquiry into the points raised by his eminence, but as a matter of fact things remained more or less in RtSLtU auo. "Archbishop's House, Malines, Jnly 19. 1917. "To Baron von der Lancken, Chief United States. Attorney States Sugar Price Is Beyond Local Control. Jams Pat Under Ban. An earnest appeal for eo-operatlon from the housewife in reporting cases of excessive charges on merchandise was made yesterday by United States Aorney Humphreys at the meeting of the housewives' council. "He ex plained the uselessness of attempts to fix prices on goods on account of the difference in style, material, grade and quality, but pointed out that sta ples are a wiser purchase, as they bring the dealer a smaller margin of profit, whereas novelties vary from exceedingly high prices at the be ginning of the season to low prices at the end of it. The district attorney said he is now tracing lot numbers of high-priced goods shipped in here and will have officials in whose territory they were produced investigate. In the past two weeks merchants have been flooding his office with figures and informa tion regarding unreasonable whole sale prices. Clothing and shoe com plaints are numerous and statistics are startling. "You do not realize It." he said, "but some clothing dealers are losing money on some of their purchases. we naa a complaint from a woman who had seen a $124 suit later marked down to $39.50 and found the man had paid (68 for the garment he was trying to dispose of at little ever half that amount." Concerning 18-cent sugar, Mr. Hum phreys says nothing can be done locally to remedy the price, as San Francisco or even places beyond that are the source of the trouble. Before the war, he said, grocers were satis fied with half a cent margin, whereas they are being allowed four times that much at present. Fight Over Washtub Causes Fine. CHEHALIS, Wash.. Jan. 10. (Spe cial.) Grace Peachy of Onalaska was fined $17.50 by Justice W. A. West over. Mrs. Peachy's offense oriai nated in a fight over a wash tub. her victim being a neighbor, Lois Coooer. The latter alleged that the Peachy woman struck her in the face during the altercation. 4 Tells How to Stop a Bad Cough S.rrn-falix KranKa form flu fum . old boroe-mmde arm p.
