Official Said to Have Canceled or Stayed Deportation In More Than 300 Cases. WASHINGTON. Apr:! 27. : Illegal aiiions of Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of the department of labor, resulted in blocking deportation of alien radicals, members of the house declared today before the rules com mittee. "The responsibility lies at the door ot Secretary Wilson for not recom mending removal of such a man. if these charges are true." Representa tive Rodenberg, lepublican, Illinois, member of the committee, declared during the hearing which inaugu rated investigation of Mr. Post's offi cial conduct. Representative Johnson, republican of Washington; chairman of th houte immigration ..committee, pre sented a report by committee investi uators on more than 300 cases, in "which it was said Mr. Post had can-i celed or stayed deportations recom mended by immigration authorities. Counsel for Mr. Post interrupted to ' assert that Commissioner - General I'arainetti of the Immigration bureau as without leral authority to make any recommendations regarding de portation warrant-. Representative ti!egel. republican of N'ew York, accused Mr. Post of bring ing the deportation law 'into disre pute and making deportation proceed ings a farce and a joke." He added there had been "many plain viola tions of the law," but Representative Tincher, republican of Kansas, an other witness, declared he doubted whether Mr. Post had violated the Jaw, although he contended that the assistant secretary had unquestion ably abused his discretionary au thority. Thirty-eight cases are cited by Representative Hoch, republican of Kansas, author of the resolution that l-d to the investigation, in which Mr. Post was E-llesred. to have released ac cused agitators without awaiting to review the evidence on which the charges were predicated. Hoch also cnarged Mr. Post for a time accepted a decision of Secretary Wilson that mere membership in the communist party was. sufficient sround for deportation, but that later Post "changed hij mind" and did not fellow this ruling. Mr. Johnson charged that Mr. Post called for as many as a hundred cases a Hay to release accused aliens. While the Hoch resolution looks to be possible impeachment proceed ings against Mr- Post, republican leaders plan for a complete prelim inary inquiry by the rules committee and in event of an adverse finding, to propose a resolution calling- for Mr. Post's removal.. ' NOTED ACTRESS AT HEILIG MARGARET AXGtlX IX "Till; "WOM.VX- Of" BROXZK," l Company.-of -- Unusual ATIIity As sembled for Kmolional Play of Three Acts. Margaret Anglin, the distinguished emotional actress, will be the attrac tion at "the Heillg theater for four nights, beginning tonight, and Sat urday matinee.

BY Mi In s. Clara Scott Left Baby Portland- Home in 18 92, but Trace Is Lost. Miss Lucile Redmond. adopted daughter of the late Mrs. R. "W. Red mond of San Bernardino, is making an effort to locate her real mother, Mrs. Clara Scott, who placed her in the baby home in Portland in 1892. . "For the past nine years I have been battling for life from the white plague," she writes. "The longing for, my own dear mother is daily increas ing, and 1 just must find her real soon." The records on file in the office of the baby home in the Broadway building show that Miss Redmond known at the home as Lucile Scott, was placed in the home by her mother February 15. 1892, and that she was taken out and adopted by Mrs. R. W. Redmond October 11. 1895. One record gives her parents names as E. W. and Clara Scott and in another place they are Mr. and Mrs F. H.. Scott. Their address was listed as Twenty-third and- Thurman streets The record shows that she was born at Tacoma. Wash. Mr. Scott, father of Miss Redmond v as listed as a telegraph operator ir the records of the home and the mother as a domestic.

UNIFORMITY- IS WANTED Margaret at A nelt ri. Moted actress, Ilellig tonight. Delard, has been pronounced a worthy successor to her long and unbroken list of triumphs in the theater. Among them may be recalled "The Great Divide, "The Awakening of Helena Ritchie," ."Green Stockings," "Lady Windermere's Kan," and ''Bil leted," in which she was last eeen in this city. "The Woman of Bronze," according to the critics, provides a splendid role for Miss Anglin, one which is ad mirably suited to the expression of the emotional phase of her many sided art. The play of three acts has been under the personal direc tion of Miss Anglin, and she has as sembled a company of unusual qual ity, among whom are Fred Kric, Langdon Bruce, Sydney Mather, Mar ion Barney, Harriet Sterling, Isedda Harrigan, Walter Connolly and others. monly known as "declarations- of trust" or "common law trusts," un less an investigation has first been made with reference to the legal and financial status of the corporations or associations. " "Several of -these concerns have been flooding the state with all kinds of alluring circulars and literature," says Mr. Schulderman's warning, "and in most instances speedy and sub stantial returns are assured those In vesting. None of these companies are qualified to transact business in Ore gon and, therefore, before investing, it would be good business to make a careful investigation.' "Most 'Of these concerns, owing to the manner- of their formation, come under the trust act of the state and strict compliance with the terms of that law- is required before they can lawfully operate."

Product Must Be Kept Up Becan&e of Transportation Delay and ' I Market Conditions. . ORBGON1AN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, April 27. Farmers of the northwest appear to be much con fused .over the question of federal gran grades as they apply to wheat. Numerous inquiries have been com ing to. Washington from individual farmers and farmers' co-operative selling organizations, which caused Representative John W. Summers of Washington to take up the question on behalf of farmers' unions in Wash ington. Oregon and Idaho with Julius H. Barnes, United States wheat di rector These questions were pro pounded: ..'.. 'How" "far ;dd our federal grajn grades' follow . our wheat in" the. export- business? Do our grain grades differ .."from.' the Liverpool grain grades, .and it. eo,., to what ' extent'.' What are the Liverpool grades based on? In other words do the exporters have to sell, on the same grades that our farmers do, and if so, who sets the "Liverpool grades?" Problems Are Varied, Replying, , to these questions. Di rector Barnes wrote: "I think, one. thing Is very, confus ing to the layman, and that is. that wheat can , not be treated solely as 'wheat.' ' n tl;e United States we have seven or eight different varieties, and.in a world market like .Liverpool, drawing 'from Russia, India, Argen tina. South Africa, Australia, the number of varieties, each with its own chemical properties, are so numerous that no general statements br deductions' cart --be made. "In Liverpool, for instance, they do not grade -wheat.' I' think without exception their entire purchases are made on standard samples and a series of discounts and premiums from the standard, which differences are fixed by expert examination of each identical sample. This can be done in a consuming market in which' the parcels to be examined arrive in steamer lots, but it is impossible ' in a country like ours, where the wheat is originally bought in the wagon load lot and in which ordinarily eight to ten million wagon loads are graded from the farmer. This will show you that it is impossible to compare the treatment of wheat on grade between such a .market as Liverpool, with its customs, and . such as American methods have by long experience shown to' lend themselves most read ily to quick and economical handling. I." n I form Grading; Advised. "On, the other hand, the Liverpool buyer soon learns Jo know what the American standards of grades mean, and they have an Importing class of buyers who will buy on the American standards and .largely guarantee the quality to the final miller. Those standards they buy on are the Amer ican standards, under the supervision of the bureau of markets, the same as the farmer sells under at interior markets; so that as far. as the Amer ican farmer is concerned, the grades sold under are fixed by American standards, and not by the British. . "Now ytu will see that, with an ocean voyage of two weeks, any fail ure to hold the ocean shipments from America up to recognized and ex pected standards, would soon be demonstrated abroad and reflected in a lowering of the price relatively. Therefore it is of greatest import ance that the standard of grades across the whole country be made uniform, and that is the reason why I have always been ln,faVr of fed eral supervision of grades, and fed eral establishment of standards, for that has grown out of the result of 30 years of grain handling."
