THE MORNING OREGOJTIAN, TUESDAY,- MARCH .30, 1920 NO QUARTER TO BE SHOWN TO REBELS the dining room of the Chamber of Commerce last night. "China is truly a wonderful nation and its country possesses unbounded natural resources." said the speaker. "She has many things which Ameri cans want and we have many things the people of China want, so we should co-operate and build up a great trade." Other speakers included C. C Colt, vice-president of the First National bank, whose subject was "Our For eign Trade Possibilities," and H. B. Van Duzer. manager of the Inman Poulsen Lumber company and presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce, on "The Lumber Industry." Both de clared that the work to be done by the Foreign Commerce club Is of the utmost Importance and both con gratulated the organization on its rapidly growing membership and the things it. has already accomplished since its formation two months ago. George X. Black presided. This property, 66x105 feet, is located in the center of the city, adjoining the courthouse, and the former home of the late Mrs. Mary M. Charman. The structure will be commenced about June I, and will be rushed to completion. The architect is W. A. White of this city. The intention of Mr. Long was to have a two-story building, but owing to the present high cost of material it is probable that the plans will now be changed to a one-story structure of attractive appearance and modern throughout. Mr. Long, who has been In the mov ing picture business in Oregon City for the past seven years, will operate both "movies," until his lease on the Star building expires, six years hence. pWilgyB Allen - ....... i.iMuiutaiNiine.

Two robbers wearing ban danna handkerchiefs for masks at tempted Saturaav night to hold up the Saginaw Timber company camp 6, near El ma, fired three shots through a bunkhouse door as they fled and an hour later held up Pete Perry, a locomotive engineer of the Saginaw company, on the Saginaw-Elma road near camp 1, forced him to give up his five-passenger automobile and $200 cash and escaped in the car. The robbers took the road through Elma, going toward Centralia. A re port from that town this morning that a car had been ditched and aban doned there may give a clew to their later movements. - - A card game was in progress in one of the bunk houses at camp 6 and on this the robbers descended. When they attempted to enter the house, however, the door was slammed in their faces and barricaded inside. The masked men then fired three shots through the door and left the camp. Foiled in their attempt to hold up the camp workers, the out laws went down the road toward camp 1, about three miles from Elma. Near this camp they halted William Yants driving his automobile from Elma. - They made him descend from the car, searched him for weapons. then forced him to turn his car about, commanding him to take them back to Elma.. In making the turn, how ever, Xantz' car became stuck at the side of the road. While Tantz was still working with his car Pete Perry, locomotive engi neer for the Saginaw company, dTove up in an automobile which he bad purchased the day before from' an Elma garage. The highwaymen cov ered him with their revolvers and compelled him to stop. They then searched him, took $200 in cash from him. entered his. car and drove away. That the masked men were loggers who had worked in the Saginaw camps and were well acquainted In and about Elma was the belief, ex pressed by the men at the camp. SALEM, Or., March 29. (Special.)

Steiger, a prominent rancher residing about two miles north of Salem, while the latter was mllklnir a cow in his barn last Thurs day night, appeared before Judge Unruh here today, waived preliminary eTsmliutinn and was bound over to the grand jury.

The officers also found several pmntv shells near the Steiger barn together with a number of unfired bullets, on the bank of a stream be tween Salem and the scene of the shooting. Search of a stream north of Salem is being made now by the officers, in hope of- finding too re volver used by the assailant.

Recommendations of Council for Support of Levy Increase Is Unanimously Approved. Wiirh nrhool and rradie teachers of the Portland schools, meeting simul taneously in two halls at the Central library, yesterday, unanimously in dorsed the recommendation or tne representative council, providing sup port for the proposed 2-mill tax levy. This included a clause authorizing a levy of 5 per cent of one month's sal ary of each teacher to furnish funds for the campaign. Eugene Brookings was retained as campaign manager. It was pointed out that efforts will not necessarily be concentrated on Portland, but rather on tne state at larn-R. as heavier opposition is an ticipated in' the rural districts. Speak ers also mentioned the danger or oin- educational bills oversnaaowmg this measure unless a strong co-op erative movement were put on root. Several hundred teachers heard the bill explained by City Superin tendent Grout, who said the tax would brinir Portland J621.000 and the rest of the county $54,000, these amounts to be apportioned according to the number of elementary teacners in each building. Portland would re ceive $588,700 of the amount. He also pointed out that an affirmative vote waives the constitutional limitations to the 6 per cent increase over the previous year's tax, making tne levy legal.

SEATTLE, Wash., March 29. (Spe ciaL) If United States Senator Poln dexters friends do not draw his at tentlon to the state of Washington pretty soon he is likely to find a pretty fight on his hands when he comes out this way next month to thank the republican state convention for indorsing him as a presidential candidate. Seemingly, the Poindexter leaders hereabouts have been waving fran tlcally for several months to attract Polndexter's attention, but he won't look in this direction. And right now. as republican politicians see it, there is danger that the degree of intense, unquestioning loyalty that the junior senator expects from his home state may not be shown by the delegation selected at the Belllngham convention next month to represent this state in the republican national convention. Wood Second Cnolce. There is an active campaign being made, under cover of a pro-Poindex ter movement, in favor of a delega tion that would have General Leonard Wood as its second choice for presl dent. And in the background there is a feeling that Governor Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, might be the man that this state would have to sup port. The Wood boomers are especially active in King county. Lee Johnston is regarded as the principal organ izer for the Wood forces, but he has associated with him many of the leaders in the King County Young Men's Republican club and a part of the republican state committee, though very few of the committee men have broken away from the Poin dexter programme. In making their fight the Wood supporters, as well as those who want Lowden or some other presidential candidate, are arguing that as a matter of courtesy the state should give Poindexter its first choice, but that the delegation should be care fully picked so as to avoid mistakes on second or third or other choices. Moreover, it is argued that the dele gation should not be tied up to Poin dexter for more than a ballot or two. Senator's Status Uacertaia. So far as the great mass of repub lican workers are concerned they do not knew whether Poindexter has fallen by the wayside or is up and running with the field. If his confi dential friends in this state have been advised as to what Is expected they will have kept the information as a family secret, and this hurts the feel ings of the crowd which must get out and carry the primaries and conven tions. It has been stated from time to time that Poindexter was about to visit his home state, but be had no started, if party leaders are to be be lieved. Now it is said he will get along this way about the time th republican state convention meets in Bellingnham. However, even this an nouncement is not official. In the meantime, the Wood boomers and the Lowden supporters, together with the followers of other presidential can didates, are making capital out of the Poindexter uncertainty. The move to make Mayor Hugh M, Caldwell temporary chairman of the republican county convention was an effort to head off any move to turn the convention over to any presiden tial candidate. On the theory that temporary chairman would be chosen who might talk too much about some body else, the Poindexter supporters suggested Caldwell, on the theory All that a fine Player Piano should be The Euphona Inner -Player, though moderately priced, is distinctly an instrument of ultra quality.
