CUMMINGS WILL
OPEN CONVENTION
Party Chief to Call Demo
crats to Order. '
REPUBLICANS ARE RAPPED
j Majority in Congress Held Reopon-
' aible for Defeat of Treaty
, od League of Aatioos.
CHICAGO, April 20. Homer S.
Cummings. 'chairman of the democra
tic national committee, today was se
lected to preside as temporary chair-,
man of the national convention at San
Francisco June ?8 and .deliver the
keynote address wLich will announce
the party policies in the forthcom
ing campaign. ... ,
Tb convention slate was framed at
a luncheon at the Iroquois clu and
the democratic chieftains there as
sembled then listened with interest to
a speech in which their leader sound
ed what thty said probably would be
the main point of his "keynote ad
dress." " " ' ' " I
Coagrciis Majority Lashed.
The republican party has lost its
moral character, he declared, in
launching a vigorous attack upon the
action of the majarity in congress In
defeating' the peace treaty and league
of nations and particularly the meth
ods by which control of the foreign
relations committee was held by the
republicans.
"The whole figh ton the league of
nations dates back to a corrupt elec
tion in Michigan," he said, "and a con
victed criminal is the thing upon
which republican supremacy rests."
He was convinced that the people
of the United States wanted the
league of nations. The republican
congress had debated the peace treaty
for . eight months and had failed "to
pass one constructive piece of legisla
tion." War Credit Is Claimed.
Turning to th ewar, he declared
that "not chance, but brains," won It,
and for this leadership, he main
tained, the democratic party was en
titled to credit. - "It matters not what
they may say of President Wilson, he.
added, "his fame is immortal and
future generations will render trib
utes of praise and obligation to this
great democrat."
Mr. Cummings expressed absolute
confidence in the outcome of the
coming presidential campaign.
He, claimed for the democratic party
credit for passage of the income-tax
law, revision of the tariff, creation of
a non-partisan tariff commission, es
tablishment of a department of labor
in the cabinet and ' the Clayton
amendment to the Sherman anti-trust
act, which amendment h.e termed
"the-Magna . Charta of labor In this
country."
Mr. Cummings also called attention
to the federal farm loan -system and
the federal reserve banks.
Old-Tine Poaies Recalled.
The slightest Jolt used to start a
panic and bring the old financial
structure about pur ears," he said.
"For a generation the republicans had
promised to reform this system, but
they oouid not becas.se their leaders
were interested in preserving it.
When a democratic congress was
about to pass the federal reserve act
it was Lodge, Root, Smoot, Penrose
and every reactionary senator who
opposed this great remorm, the same
men who today are attacking the
democratic administration and the
league of nations."
Relation of democratic women to
the party and their part In the di
rection of its affairs would be decided
by the San Francisco convention, the
national executive committee decided
today.
Meeting with members of the wom
en's advisory board, the committee
appointed Mr. - Cummings chairman
of a sub-committee to draft the pro
gramme and plans under "which the
enfranchised women will work. Their
findings will be- presented to the con
vention for adoption.
' Women Share ia Council.
Today's session was said to be the
first In which women have had rep
resentation on the national executive
committee.
"Plans for the convention were vir
tually completed today with the selec
tion of the temporary officers. Be
, sides Mr. Cummings, these officers
are: E. O. Hoffman, national com
mitteeman from Indiana, secretary;
W. R. Hollisterj Missouri, assistant
secretary: Colonel John I. Martin, St.
Louis, sergeant-at-arms of the na
tional committee, to be convention

homa, assistant serjeant-at-arms.
Colonel Martin, who has been ser
geant of the national committee for
the past 25 years, has officiated at
four previous conventions.
Convention Hall Problem.
Objection to the San Francisco con
vention committees arrangements
and particularly to the size of the
hall were renewed following the ap
pearance before the committee on ar
rangements of Postmaster Charles F.
Kay. chairman of the San Francisco
committee, and Isadore B. Dockweiler,
national committeeman from Call
fornia. who explained the plans be
ing made to handle the guests and
the convention.
Suggestions that the convention
might be moved across the bay to
Oakland or elsewhere were dropped.
A committee of five, with Charles
Boeschensteln of Illinois as chairman,
was named y Mr. Cummings to draft
resolutions of sympathy and respect
to be sent to the family .of Roger C.
- Sullivan, former committeeman from
Illinois, who died last week. The

RAINIER HEAD VISITS
T. II. Martin Confers on Plans for
Tourist Accommodations.
T. IL Martin, manager of the Rai
nier National Park company, was a
Portland visitor yesterday. While
here he conferred with W. D. B. Dod
son, executvie secretary of the cham
ber of commerce, in regard to plans
for attracting and caring for tour
ists during the summer season. He
also called on the general passenger
agents of the railroads regarding the
prospects for travel, which all are
agreed will be the largest that has
ever come to this section of the coun
try. Reports received from the east
ern roads indicate that the special-car
movement for the Shrine convention
will bring into use every available
special Pullman car in the service.
Last reports were that the available
supply of dining cars has been ex
hausted. -
MURDER STORIES DOUBTED
Ohio Authorities Do Xot Connect
. Two Slayings.
STETJBENVILLE. O., April 20.
Jefferson county authorities' discredit
beliefs expressed in Martin's Ferry
yesterday that the brutal slayer of
little 11-year-old Frances South at
Adena March 25, is the same that
murdered Mrs. John Burkhardt -and
daughter Lillian at their home in
Martin's Ferry Friday night.
The sole purpose of the Martin's
Ferry double murder appears to them
to have been for the purpose of ob
taining valuable papers since a large
sum of money in a safe was left un
touched, and yet the safe was ran
sacked. Harry Miller, who confessed to the
Adena crime at a religious service
last week, will be sent to an asylum
this week. His story of the crime is
entirely discredited.
LAND STUDY ORDERED
Suttles Lake Irrigation Project to
Be Investigated.
SALEM, Or., April 20. (Special.)
R. D. Cooper, a civil engineer with
headquarters at Burns, -has been em
ployed by the state irrigation securi
ties commission to go to Jefferson
county and appraise the lands in
cluded In what is known as the Suttles
lake irrigation district.
The district has voted bonds in the
sum of J 50,000, and now asks that
the securities be certified and that
the state guarantee interest for a
period of five years. Under the law,
the Irrigation securities commission
will not be in a position to certify to
the bonds until the lands included
within the district have been ap
praised.
BIG WOOL CENTER IS GOAL
(Continued From First Page.)
ing the 1920 season, with shipment
soon beginning. .The sales will be
heyi at the wool warehouses, or at
the public docks. In the event that
any grower prefers to have his wool
handled independently. May 25 has
been set as the date for the first sale,
with sales to be held every two weeks
thereafter throughout the season.
Under the agreement between grow
ers and warehousemen, the estab
lished warehouses will handle the
shipment on the following basis: No
transfer charge is to be made. A
storage charge of 58 cents a. bag will
be imposed for the first month, in
cluding cost of unloading, weighing,
marking bags, etc Thereafter the
charge will be 20 cents a month.' An
additional charge of cent per
pound, a minimum fee, will be made
for baling. For preparing the wool
for sale the warehouse will ' impose
another minimum charge of cent
per pound.
Loss on Fees Expected.
Wool growers say that there is no
margin of profit for the warehouses
in these fees, and that to handle the
wool at the minimum figures may
mean an actual loss. The warehouse
men, however, entered into the agree
ment readily for the advancement of
Portland as a wool center.
The growers also adopted resolu
tions condemning the denim crusade
against clothing costs, branding the
movement as the propaganda of
southern cotton producers, and .as
serting that the cost of wool as a raw
material is not a factor in the ex
horbitant price of garments pointing
out, as well, that Oregon citizens who
are lending aid to the overalls protest
are indirectly retarding the interests
of the wool growers, who are con
ducting one of, the most Important in
dustries in the state.
Big ahnramea at Meeting. '
Present at the conference were
many of the largest and most suc
cessful sheepmen of the state. Among
those in attendance were Jay Dob
bin, president, of Joseph; Mac Hoke,
secretary, Joseph; Dan P. Smythe,
Pendleton: R. N. Stanfield, Stanfield;
S. W. McClure, Pendleton: K. G.
Warner, Pilot Rock; Jack Hynd,
Heppner; County Agricultural Agent
Hunt, Heppner; R. A. Ward. Bend,
and J. C. Emery, Douglas.
Though the entire membership of
the association was not represented
at the session, it is felt that the
movement will now go forward
speedily, and that not only the entire
Oregon crop, but a major part of the
entire northwestern crop, will hence
forth be concentrated in Portland.

If BILL PASSED
OVER TO CONFEREES
Senate Adopts Measure by
Vote of 46 to 10.
9 DEMOCRATS OPPOSED
2 2 Boorbons and 2 4 Kepublicans
Jorn House Measure Is
Widely Different.
WASHINGTON. April 20. The army
reorganization bill was passed today
by the senate- and now goes to con
ference. The measure provides for a regu
lar army of 297,000 officers and men,
a national guard of 425,000 and a vol
untary, system of military training
for young men between the ages of
18 and 21. .
The vote on the passage of the bill
was 46 to 10.
Opposing the measure were one re
publican, Gronna of North Dakota,
and nine democrats: Dial, Harrison.
McKellar, Overman, Reed. Shappard.
Simmons, Smith of South Carolina,
and Trammell.
Twenty-four republicans were
Joined by 22 democrats in supporting
the bill. .
Bills Widely Different.
Except for the provisions fixing the
else of the regular army and the Na
tional Guard, the senate and house
measures are widely different. The
house bill authorized a regular army
of 299,000 men and 17,832 officers,
while the senate measure provides
for 280,000 enlisted men and 17,043
officers.
Universal military training prom
ises the principal obstacle for the sen
ate and house conferees. The house
bill made no provision for training,
leaders there planning to bring out
a separate training measure.
In the senate measure provision is
made for four months' training after
January 1, 1922.
Under both the senate and house
bills the national guard would con
sist of 800 men and officers for each
member of congress and be supported
by the federal government, although
under "direct' 'orders of the govern
ment of the several states.
Staff Revision Provided.
Provisions in the senate bill for
gradual reduction of the regular army
to about 200,000 men in five years
were ilimlnated by the senate after
substitution of the voluntary for the
compulsory training system. A plan
for graduated reduction of the regu
lar establishment is contained in the
nouse Dill, However,
Another, provisio nof the senate
measure calls for modified court
martial procedure. Attempts to Insert
a similar provision in the house bill
failed on a point of order.
Both senate and house bills provide
for radical revision of the armv sren-
eral staff and war department bu
reaus. .The general staff would be
smaller under the senate plan than
under tne house provision. The sen
ate bill authorizes separate finance,
construction, transportation, chemical
warfare and aviation services and
also establishes the army nurse, den
tal, veterinary and chaplain's corps.
Senate conferees were appointed
immediately after passage of the bill.
They are Wadsworth, New York;
Sutherland. West Virginia, and New,
Indiana, republicans, and Chamber
lain, Oregon, and Thomas, Colorado,
democrats.
PT to Be Increased.
Increased pay for commissioned of
ficers and the enlisted personnel of
the army, navy, marine corps, coast
guard and public health services was
agreed upon today by house and sen
ate conferees.
The amount, duration and other de
tails of the increase remain to be
worked out.. The house conferees
receded in favor of the general prin
ciples of the senate measure, which
provided for a 20 per cent advance
for all members of all the services.
The house measure provided a raise
of"31 per cent for only the enlisted
personnel of the navy.
Under tfie senate bill, the Increase
was to be permsinent, while the house
measure limited ft to one year.
DEFICIENCY BILL PASSES
Measure Providing $390,000,000
for Rails TJp to Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 20. Without
a dissenting vote the house today
passed the deficiency appropriation
bill providing $390,000,000 for the rail
road administration to wind up its
affairs.
The bill also directed that its $90.-

for hospital treatment of disabled
soldiers.
FINANCIAL TOILS AVOIDED
Reed Engineering Company Helped
to Make Good Deficit.
VANCOUVER. Wash, April 28.
(Special. Financial difficulties of
the Reed Engineering company,
through which part of the payroll of
last Saturday was not forthcoming,
are in a fair way to be amicably set
led. It is alleged that the company
contracted with the Powers Furniture
company of Portland to manufacture
a certain amount of furniture, to be
made of spruce. The furniture was
made, it is alleged, and when deliv
ered it was discovered that It had
been made from fir. The furniture
company refused to accept the ship
ment or to pay for It. The Reed com
pany had been counting on the
amount received from this furniture
to meet the payroll and issued checks
as usual. When the money was not
forthcoming it was too late.
Some of the checks were cashed by
local merchants, but the bank re
fused to honor them. -Means
are now being taken toalse
a sufficient amount of money to make
these checks good and the company
will continue. It has a large number
of furniture contracts and has five
boats on the ways in addition to three
launched which are practically com
pleted. PAYROLLS SHOW NCREASE
Employment Situation Reported
Better Than Year Ago.
WASHINGTON. April 20. Improved
industrial conditions and a revival of
business activities following the can
cellation of government contracts
last year were responsible for the
large increase in the volume of em
ployment in March, 1920, as compared
with March. 1919, according to a
statement today of the Department of
Labor.
Greatest were shown in the woolen,
men's ready-made clothing, cotton
finishing and automobile manufactur
ing Industries. All industries report
ed Increases In their payrolls for last
March as compared with March, 1919.

cate Willi Mars.
OMAHA. April 20. An attempt is

closer together than at any time dur
ing the year and for that reason the
