frozen beef are due to reach this city
almost any day now, to be placed on
the market at retail prices far below
the prevailing quotations, as the
United States government is offering
the beef to the public to help lower
the cost of living. It was thought
best to do this rather than eeil the
meat at advanced prices abroad
The three carloads due here from
. Chicago will be retailed at the
Quartermaster's store. Fourth and
Tine streets: the Pacific market,
Fourth and Yamhill streets; Parker's
market, 169 Fourth street, and the
Fairchild market. 226 Yamhill street.
It was officially announced yesterday.
Government agents here yesterday
aid it should be made clear to the
public that the prices at which this
meat will retail are not fair quota
tions on the general run of beef and
should not confuse the public with
the idea that retail rates should drop
to these levels. This is explained by
the fact that the total of 35.004.000
pounds release'd throughout the coun
try "Is a mere drop in the bucket and
' Is army surplus sold at government
lose to help lower the cost of living."
Prices per pound at which this beef
will retail and which will permit of a
fair profit to dealers, are as follows:
Round, 18 cents: loin, 25 cents:
T-bone stak, 28 cents: porterhouse, 28
cents; sirloin. 28 cents; flank, 8 cents;

LORD READING ATTACKED
English Paper Opposed to Appoint-
- nient as Ambassador.
LONDON", Feb. 17. (Special 'able.)
Lord Reading, formerly British hieh
their commissioner to the United States,
who. according to reports this after
noon, has declined the offer of the
ambaS5adorship at Washington, was
the subject of a bitter attack in an
editorial in the Morning Post today.
"If," it says, "the reasons why Lord
Reading should go to the United
States are weak, reasons why he
should not go are strong. And here we
may dismiss the legend that Reading
made a great success in America dur
ing the war."
There was at the time a notable
Semitic clique" around the president,
continues the Morning Post, which re
calls the Marconi case and says:
"If Lord Reading was received in
American house it was with a cer
tain unwillingness and because he was
after all an official representative of
the British nation."

Over the protest of Attorney W. M.
Cake, who declared that the firm of
McAdoo, ' Cotton & Franklin of New
York, chief counsel for the contest
ant, would not be able to send Mr.
Cotton to Portland before June, Cir
cuit Judge Tazweil yesterday set the
date for hearing on the will contest
of Caroline P. Leadbetter in the estate
of Henry L. Pittock on Monday,
May 24.
C. H. Carey, of the firm of Carey &
Kerr, John F. Logan and D. P. Price,
attorneys for the estate, strongly
urged an early hearing in the attack
on tbe estate, asking that the date be
set in March or April. Attorney Cake
declared that if such an early day
was fixed he would fewl compelled to
withdraw from the case.
That the bearing, though involving
one of the largest estates in the
northwest, will not take more than a
week or ten days, developed from as
sertions of attorneys in the course of
the argument yesterday. When At
torney Cake announced bis belief that
the taking of testimony would not
occupy more than a week, he sprang
surprise on the attorneys for tbe
proponents, who had expected & Iorvg-
drawn-out and bitter fight.
With thoughts of the Xarifa J.
Faling will contest, which dragged
over many months m the probate
court, in mind, Judge Tazweil ap
peared much relieved at the prospect
of a short hearing.
"There is no reason why it should
take more than ten days," he said,
later, "for the issues are not involved
and do not require the research into
past years necessary as in the Faling
case."
Presentation of testimony will be
followed by oral arguments and the
submission of briefs by the attorneys,
it is expected.
The motion yesterday was made by
attorneys for the estate, seeking an
early date for trial. Attorney Cake
opposed it on the ground that Attor
ney Cotton, chief counsel, would find
much difficulty in getting to Port
land before June, and that he, him
self, had cases set in March and April
requiring his attention and he desired
time to prepare carefully for the will
contest.
On a recent trip east Attorney Cake
said that he journeyed from Indiana
to New York to see Attorney Cotton
and confer with him concerning the
contest, only to find on his arrival
that the man he desired to see was
in Florida.
If you insist cn setting the case
in March or April. I can- drop out," he
told Judge Tazweil. The date selected
was in the nature of a compromise.
Attorney Cake saying that he would
do his best to have his associate coun
sel in Portland at that time.
With the contention that insuffi
cient facts are stated in the com
plaint to constitute a cause of action.
demurrer was filed yesterday in the
circuit court to the suit of Caroline
P. Leadbetter against O. L. Price as
executor and trustee of the Henry L.
Pittock estate, C. A. Morden, trustee.
nd the brother and sisters of the
plaintiff, Fred F. Pittock, Susan Em
ery, Kate Locuwooa utoaia ana
Louise Gantenbein
The suit to which this objection is
interposed seeks In the circuit court
to accomplish a similar object to an
action in probate contesting the valid
ity of Mr. Pittock s will. The case
pending in the probate court alleges
undue influence as chief basis for the
attack. on the testament, but the ac
tion in the equity division of the cir
cuit court has is its main contention
the claim that the will is against
public policy.
