ORDER TO COME, OPINION
Oriental Troops Active In Ports and
Are Grasping Everything,
Says E. Jellinek.
SEATTLE. Wash., March 8. (Spe
cial.) "There is only one way in
which the Russian people of Russia
proper and Siberia can be united on
any definitely established government
and that will be in case Japan should
make any definite attempt to grab
Siberia or any part of it. As badly
demoralized as that great country is
today and as impossible as it may ap
pear that a strong united nation can
arise from the ruins, it would not l
at all strange to see all parties united
to repel Japanese attempts to appro
nriate anv nart of Siberia. Much as
the Russian people quarrel among
themselves at present, they are cer
tainly united in their hatred for
Japanese aggression."
This is the way troubled Siberia
appears now to K. Jellinek, a mer
chant of New York, who has returned
from a residence of about a year in
Vladivostok.
All Siberia, with Russia, Is seeth
ing and suffering and while the so
cial revolutionists arc now in power,
ho says, they stand ready to deliver
the government to the bolsheviki or
any other class of the same type who
demand it. The name appears to
make no difference, but anything
would be better than what now is.
Tillage and murder seem to be the
prevailing condition of all Siberia
and recovery and stability appear far
away, he said.

rh pniinlrv at heart.
But," he said, 'it was the officials
of the Kolchak government who in
curred the ill-will of the enemy and
perhaps this ill-will was merited."
Out of this terrible muddle and
rtruggle for stable government Mr.
Jellinek believes order will eventual
ly appear. "Now it may seem long
way off," he said, "but it will come
in time. One thing which may play
an important part is perhaps due to
the huge number of troops Japan is
now moving into Siberian ports, par
ticularly Vladivostok. They seem to
be reaching out for everything and
the hatred against them among all
classes of Russians is strong. Should
rhe carry her grabbing attempts a
little too far there will be a quickly
united Russia and Japan will play
an important part in bringing about
such a position."

DAMEL MCRPHV OP SEATTLE
IS HfjXlEVED SUICIDE.
Body of Acwsnaper Cartoonist's
Father Taken From Sound.
'Sudden Illness Feared.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 8. (Spe
cial.) The body of Daniel Murphy,
66 years old, wealthy retired pioneer
liquor dealer of Seattle and father
of Harry Murphy, a nationally famous
newspaper cartoonist and formerly on
Pacific coast papers, was found at
7:30 this morning in the bay, 100
yards off Colman dock, by Captain A.
Sund of the tugboat Patrol.
The theory of suicide is maintained
by Mr. Murphy's friends and asso
ciates. He had received a visit from
his son, whom he had asked to come
to Seattle from Chicago where he is
employed. Harry Murphy arrived
Thursday and stayed with his father
until Saturday when he started back
to Chicago. Efforts to reach him by
telegraph were made this morning
to tell him of his father's death. Ac
cording to Walter B. Robinson, 437
New York block, who cared for Mr.
Murphy's business affairs, the fear of
sudden illness had caused Mr. Murphy
to ask that a young man be em
ployed to take care of him and ac
company him wherever he went. Mr.
Robinson had about completed an ar
rangement of this kind.
Another sign of Mr. Murphy's
mental state, his fear of death, said
Emerson H. Carrico, Mr. Murphy's at
torney, was the more and more atten
tion he had been paying of late to so
called healers.
Mr. Murphy was last seen alive Sat
urday night when he and his son
checked oift from the Butler hotel,
where they had been registered. That
the body had bene in the water but a
short, time when found was indicated
by the fact that his watch was still
running.
Attorney Carrico said he believed
Mr. Murphy was worth more than
8100,000. He owned property in Se
attle. considerable in stocks and
bonds, a farm of 238 acres in Cle Eium
and other property.
Mr. Murphy was born In New Bruns
wick. He came west 25 years ago,
first settling in Eureka, Cal., a short
time later he came to Seattle where
he started in a wholesale and retail
liquor store on Pike street, near
Fourth avenue. For some years he
had been retired and living at 715
Eleventh avenue.
Besides his son, Harry Murphy, a
daughter, Mrs. Winifred Esther Bel
knap of Chinook; three sisters, Mrs.
Anna Kingston, Mrs. Margaret Hurley
and Miss Helen Murphy of Seattle:
two brothers, William Murphy of Se
attle and John Murphy of Pendleton,
survive him.
Harry Murphy was for several years
cartoonist for The Oregonian. He is
now connected with an eastern news

Arrival of State Senator Bloch
From California Expected to Mean

CHICAGO, March 8. An airplane
flight from Chicago to Cincinnati to
morrow was arranged today for State
Senator J. A. Bloch of West Virginia
by republican party managers in a
race on which may depend ratifica
tion of the federal woman suffrage
amendment by West Virgina.
The state senate is deadlocked on
ratification. Senator Bloch, who has
been in California, is known to be
for ratification. If the senator reaches
Charleston by Wednesday suffrage
leaders believe West Virginia will
ratify the amendment. -
Senator Bloch is due here tomorrow
on his way to Charleston. It was
found that the senator must be in
Cincinnati by 7 P. M. tomorrow to
catch a train that would take him to
Charleston in time to vote. Only a
special train or an airplane would
make the connection. "."
Will H. Hays, republican national
chairman, made arrangements for
both agencies. There will be an air
plane waiting for Senator Bloch when
he arrives, and if he refuses to go by
air he will be taken to Cincinnati by
special train.

SIDIIIf. OF OPAL AS
REAL DIARY DOUBTED
Literary Knowledge at Age of
6 Regarded Askance. '
PROFESSORS TAKE NOTES
Question or Parentage Declared, by
E. S. Conklin Probably Falsifi
cation of Memory.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
March 8. (Special.) The controversy
as to whether Opal Whiteley really
wrote, at the age of 6, her. diary,
which is appearing in the Atlantic
monthly, is competing with the ques
tion of her parentage for first place
of interest among: the faculty of the
university. Both those who knew .Opal
as a student -here from the fall of
191$ to March, 1918, and those who
had not heard of her until the first
announcements that her diary was
teing published in the Atlantic ap
peared in The Oregonian, are keenly
interested in speculating as to who
Opal is and as to whether she could
have written her most unusual diary
at such an early age.
Some professors are discussing the
matter in their classes while others
are pursuing it as a matter of scien
tific investigation. The students are
also interested in the development of
the case.
rcat Intercut Is Aroused.
Some on the campus had not heard
of the diary until The Oregonian's
story of Sunday morning. This
aroused great interest as well as the
fact that the Atlantic Monthly had
published the first installment of the
biography and that Opal . is an ex
university student. j
Dr. Edmund S. Conklin, head 'of the
department of psychology, is follow
ing the case from a scientific stand
point, for he has made a study of the
theory of "foster child fantasy,"
which he thinks may be exemplified
in Opal's story. He states that it is
quite possible that the memories of
Opal's childhood are a falsification of
her memory which have become facts
with her.
Dr. Conklin recently sent out quer
ies all over the state to find out how-
many people at one time had had the
idea that their parents were not their
own. He found the experience a com
mon one.
Answer Based on Queries.
Out of 900 queries, 28 per cent ac
tually remembered having had the
experience, most of them in the pe
riod just before adolescence at the
age of 8 or 12 years. Out of this
number 25 per cent actually believed
t at the time that they were ob
sessed with the idea. This figure
must be considered as a minimum, Dr.
Conklin states, since it is highly prob
able that many of the people ques
tioned had had the idea and would
recall it upon being asked later.
Dr. Conklin, unlike some other
members of the faculty, thinks that it
is possible that the diary may have
been written at the age of six years.
if Opal was a precocious child, as
seems to be the case.
Others Are Skeptical.
Other scientists in the departments
of zoology and botany are more skep
tical as to the question of Opal's writ.
ing the diary at the age of six. The
Point which is causing the principal
discussion among faculty members i:
the appearance of such a large num
her of classical and literary allusions
in the diary. Opal's explanation of
the two books left her by her "angel
parents," and the inference she gives
that they were educated people, is not
considered sufficient evidence by some
or the faculty to explain her fa.
miliarity at six years with names
of characters in Macaulay's "Lays of
Ancient Rome, or her acquaintance
with such names as Lucian, Aphrodite
Sanzio, Raphael and Hugh Capet.
The appearance of the name of
Thomas Chatterton in the diary has
been commented upon by members of
the faculty. Chatterton was a poet
of the 18th century who wrote poems
which were accepted by critics and
antiquarians of this day as 15th cen
tury manuscripts.
According to both her high school
and university records as kept in the
university business office, Opal never
studied the lath century language in
school.

I For six nights a week the newly
organized Community Service is al
ready providing 600 girls in Portland
with wholesome, happy recreation
This was the statement made last
night by Miss Kathleen Cockburn in
speaking before the monthly meeting
of the Social Workers club at th
Benson. She was only one of th
Community service people who re
ported on the work of the first month
or its activity. I he entire programme
was given over to this topic, speakers
being W. F. Woodward, Miss Mabel
Ashley, Miss Cockburn, Mrs. Lucia
Brazeau, Walter Jenkins and Miss
Vella Winner. H. W. Arbury, retiring
executive secretary of Community
Service, presided.
Miss Cockburn said it has been
found that the greater number of the
girls who go wrong have done so be
cause they wanted a good time and
did not know how to get it. She
styled the work of the new organiza
tion as "unlabeled Christianity."
Miss Ashley, who has been engaged
in housing survey work for the na

bedroom experiences and declared one
could not blame the working girl for
not wishing to spend her evenings
one. Instead of elimination of the

CALIFORNIA WANTS RAIN
Rainfall Deficiency Menaces Irri
gation and Electric Power.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 8. (Spe
cial.) Abnormally heavy rains for
the remainder of the present wet sea
son are the only thing that will pre
vent a very serious water shortage
for irrigation and hydro-electric pow
er in northern and central California,
according to A. H. Palmer, meteorolo
gist of the United States weather bu
reau. While the seasonal rainfall
has also been deficient in the south
ern part of the state, the conditions
there are not so serious.
- In a report to the state railroad
commission, Palmer says this makes
the fourth successive year of de
ficient rainfall in California. The
year 1917 was but 62 per.cent of nor
mal; 1918, 91 per cent; 1919, 79 per
cent. To a large extent this depleted
the reserve supply of water in the"
soil and rock and appreciably lowered
both natural and artificial reser
voirs.

TIRES RISE. IN PRICE
ADVANCE TO AVERAGE TWENTY
PER CENT AT LEAST.
Reasons Alleged Are Higher Labor
Cost and Scarcity of Long
Staple Cotton.
The co9t of owning an automobile
took another jump yesterday, when
several of the large tire Companies
announced an Increase in the price
of tires, immediately effective, aver
aging about 20 per cent. This in
crease applies throughout the United
States.
The advance varied somewhat with
the different companies and different
types and sizes. It . ranged from 15
to 25 per cent on standard lines, with
as high as 35 per cent on certain
odd sizes, but the general average
was approximately 20 per cent.
This more than offsets the drop in
tire prices of last May, which ran
from 10 to 15 and 20 per cent, but
averaged around 10 to 12 V4 per cent

The freeing- of the tartar is strictly mechanical. With
repeated CHLOROX brushings the delicate, tasteless
oil in CHLOROX easily penetrates the porous tartar.
These deposits of salt and lime, called tartar, are always
porous, though hard and of long standing. s
When the oil penetrates under the tartar it can no long
er cling to the teeth and is easily brushed away with the
oil-milled CHLOROX brushing compound which re
stores the natural beauty of clean teeth without grind
ing or scratching delicate tooth enamel. Another won
derful ingredient eliminates "smoker's taste" and leaves
a pleasant flavor that is lasting. Moreover, the oil con-)
tent massages the gums, stimulates the flow of blood
and prevents Pyorrhea. This oil also keeps CHLOROX
forever soft in the tube CHLOROX never wastes.
