Consortium Arranged After
Year's Negotiation.
JAPAN DROPS OBJECTIONS
Aiiu-rlcuii Banking Groups Taking
Pari Must First Secure Ap
proval of State Department.
Washington, May 7. (By -tne
Associated Press.) Japan has with
drawn all objections to Chinese con
sortium and has prepared a communi
cation accepting the terms as agreed
upon by the United States, Great
Britain and France, the state depart
ment was informed today by the
American embassy at Tokio.
The consortium will become effec
tive as soon as the signatures of of
ficials have been affixed.
The acceptance . of the consortium
by Japan ends a two-years' effort by
tiia- state department to provide for
thS'f inancing of Chink by representa
tives groups of bankers in each of the
four great countries. Japan has con
tended that Manchuria and Mongolia
should be excluded from the operation
of the consortium, claiming that it
had predominant rights in that terri
tory because of proximity. The Unit
ed States, however, refused to agree
to this exclusion. :
Hack Negotiation Separate.
The ternis of the consortium are
general and each negotiation under it
will be taken up separately. Japan
will have the right to object to loans
for any work she feels will jeopar
dize her national life or vitally affect
her sovereignty. Under this head, it
is said, may be included the construc
tion of railways in certain sections of
China, particularly Manchuria.
The amount of money to be loaned
under the consortium has not been es
timated, but the advance soon of $50,
000,000 for railway and other con
btruction and betterment Is expected.
Immediately after receiving word
of the action of the Japanese govern
ment today, Breckenridge Long, third
assistant secretary of state, who has
conducted all of the negotiations for
the United States, notified the gov
ernments of Great Britain and France.
Under the terms of the consortium
all loans made by the banking groups,
which in the United States include 37
banks in all sections of the country,
must be first approved by the state
department.
Government Approval Required.
The bankers, after deciding on each
individual loan, will submit to the
department the terms, contracts and
all . documents bearing on it and if
these are approved the loan then may
be made with the official sanction of
the government behind it. The same
procedure will be followed in the
other countries.
After -a year's work Mr. Long suc
ceeded in having representatives of
the; United States, Great Britain,
France and Japan meet with repre
taentatives of the bankers of the four
countries in Paris, where the terms
were drawn. The past year has been
occupied with getting the acceptance
of these terms by the various govern
ments and the conclusion of the of
ficial agreement.
Thomas W. Lamont, representing
the American group of bankers, is
n6w in the orient in the interest of
the plan. He discussed the matter in
Japan with bankers and government
officials and subsequently announced
that as a result there was a better
understanding of the plan in Japan.

CHINES
STARVING SERBIAN CHILDREN
MAKE APPEAL TO CHARITABLE
Daughter of Former Ambassador, Mademoiselle Helen Losanitch, Visit
ing Portland in Interest of Little Ones Orphaned and Destitute.
MADEMOISELLE Helen Losanitch,
the daughter of Professor Lo
sanitch, former Serbian am
bassador to England and Holland and
a member of the faculty of the
University of Belgrade, has arrived
in Portland and is at the Hotel Mult
nomah with Miss Matilda Spence, the.
latter of whom is national organizer
for Serbian child welfare work in
America. Mile. Losanitch is making
her second visit to America. She has
come by authority of the Serbian
government and the Serbian Red
Cross to interest Americans in relief
of the orphans in her country and
appoint committees here to 'carry on
the work.
"There are half a million destitute
little ones in Serbia," said the in
teresting young Serbian woman.
"These little ones need clothes, med-j
ical attention and food. If the chil-j
dren are not cared for soon Serbia'
will neVer regain her place among
the nations. Even now, more than
a year after the signing of the armis
tice, and when the military forces of
most of the warring people have
been called home, the army of Serbia
is still under arms, pending adjust
ment of territory.
War Waging Six Years.
"For six years they have had con
tinuous warfare first In the Balkans,
later in the world war, when our
country successfuly blocked the cen
tral v powers from establishing a
gateway to the east. We lost over
a million men and women in the
last war, and now we have 500,000
war orphans, and while money already
suhscribed has assuaged their suffer
ing and saved many lives, there are
thousands still underfed, cold, home
less and friendless.
"The Serbian Child Welfare asso
ciation of A,merica is trying to meet
these crying needs of Serbia's sorely
aflicted children and has equipped
over a. hundred trained men and
women, doctors, nurses and adminis
trators, all experts in the care and
training- of children, and sent them
to the help of Serbia. It is to pre
sent these needs of Serbia's children
to the American people that 1 have
come.
"The children of Serbia can be
nursed back to health and saved for
a future if America will help. The
small sum of $72 a year will save
the life of a Serbian orphan and
provide for him shelter, food, cloth
ing and training. Serbians are them
selves universally known for their
kindness, their sympathy and their
willingness to help the unfortunate.
I have come in close personal touch
with the terrible sufferings and hard
ships worked on women and children
by this war. My own town of Bel
grade was looted, and my own fam
ily came under the mailed fist of
the invading enemy."
At the outbreak of the war Mile.
Losanitch volunteered as a nurse and
saw hospital service, and during the
retreat in 1915 she saw starved,
weary women and children in droves
WITNESSES RETURN HOME
OXLT SIXE ' JURORS YET

Visit Will Be Paid Scene of Al
leged Crime Before Taking
Testimony Begins.
MARSHFIELD, Or., May 7. (Spe
cial.) Expert gunsmiths have been
brought from Portland by the prose
cution in the Harold Howell murder
case to testify regarding the bullet
taken from the body of Lillian Leu
thold. The bullet bears peculiar scratches
and it was contended, at the previous
trials that these marks could only
be made on a bullet fired from the
gun owned by the Howell boy which
was originally a .22. but wnicn was
rebored to shoot a .25-callber bullet.
The experts will testify about the
marks. The deiense win enow inai
there are several other reDorea- guns
In the county besides the one owned
by Howell. Witnesses from Bandon
who had gathered at the dounty seat
went home today and will not return
until next week as only nine jurors
have been secured and Judge -Coke
intimated that when the Jury was
finally selected the jurors would be
given an opportunity to visit the
scene of the alleged crime.
There is, therefore, no chance of
getting to the taking of testimony
before sometime next week.

state banking board here today.
"We are fully of the opinion there
is not room for two new banks at
The Dalles," reads the report of the
banking board, "and our finding is
based solely upon such reason."
Application for a charter for the
proposed Citizens' bank of The Dalles
was filed with the state superintend
ent of 'banks here several weeks ago,
and upon subsequent investigation
by the official he reported' that al
ready there were three depositories
there and that the establishment of a
fourth institution was not justified.
He thereupon refused to grant the
charter.
The incorporators of 'the. proposed
bank then appealed the decision to
the state banking board and a hear
ing was held here Tuesday. At that

event the charter was. refused the
application would be carried to the

PLIGHT OF COUNTRY
PRESS IS PICTURED
Small Papers Declared on
Verge of Ruin.
RELIEF HELD IMPERATIVE
Senate Committee Hears Charge
of Newsprint Corner Designed
to Keep Prices Up.
WASHINGTON.: May 7. The pic
ture of the country press, which-Includes
the little four-page paper In
the small villages, fighting with its
back to the wall and almost ready to
go under because of the paper short
age, was presented to a senate Inves
tigating committee today by Cort
land Smith of New York, president of
the American Press association.
Along with his picture of the
troubles of the country editor, Mr.
Smith made the direct charge that the
print paper market had been' cornered
and that the print paper interests had
conspired to regulate production so
that prices might continue to mount.
In the face of this situation, he frank
ly declared there was little hope for
the small-town papers and that un
less quick relief was provided half of
them would be wiped out of existence.
While other witnesses had charged
that the market had been cornered.
Mr. Smith, whose association largely
supplies the country press, was the
first to allege a conspiracy to regu
late output and price.
Federal' Action Likely.
The federal ' trade commission's
findings in. its investigation of the
news print paper situation were sent
today to the department of justice. .
Chairman Murdock would not dis
cuss the report further than to say he
believed it embraced the details of a
thorough examination by the commis
sion representatives. At the depart
ment of justice it was said the re
port was being studied "with a view
to taking such action as it war
ranted."
The long extended committee hear
ings were interrupted so that the
committee might confer behind closed
doors with Assistant Attorney-General
Ames, who was asked to recom
mend some way out of the troubles.
Mr. Ames was asked especially to
say what the government might do
toward reducing prices and what ad
ditional legislation was required.
Profiteering la Ckargci.
A number of manufacturers, brok
ers and merchants also wer heard by
the committee in executive session
relative to cost of production and
profits.
In a general discussion of condi
tions Mr. Smith told the committee he
thought there was as much profiteer
ing in print paper as there was in
other commodities and that only the
discovery of a substitute for wood
pulp could break the spot market. He
recommended an appropriation of
$250,000 for pulp substitute experi
ments and urged modification of pos
tal regulations so that small publish
ers might get shipments from the
mills by parcel post.
John A. Penton of Cleveland, O.
who testified before the... committee
yesterday, presented proposals today
to postmaster-Genera Burleson and
the federal , trade commission for
doubling the postal rate on class pub
lications weighing more than a pound
and limiting daily papers to 24 pages.

cases. He earn, and no one disputed
the statement, that "the commis
sioner-general., of. Immigration.', is
merely the sheriff to ttie secretary of
labor. The secretary. ' of labor alone
can .pass on deportations and the only
duty of the commissioner-general is
to execute these, orders." . ,
He corrected a very general misun
derstanding of the phrase used to de
scribe his recent action in several de
portation, cases by explaining, that
cancelling a deportation warrant is
nothing more than "finding a verdict
for the -defendant." This information
appeared to impress the rules commit
tee because', the idea that had been
conveyed, too genrally was that the
"cancelling ofa warrant" meant that
an order had been issued to free the
alien after he was found guilty and
ordered deported. - . .
Reports Held Garble.
He charged the house immigration
committee' with having .garbled the
records of deportation cases submit
ted to the rules committee by failing
to insert in their reports the full re
port of testimony in cases where his
rulings were attacked. He declared
that the rules committee to which he
was addressing himself coulLnot read
the testimony in the cases where his
rulings 'were under' fire and- not up
hold his decisions.
He tried to make it-clear that he
stood ready to deport aliens in cases
where proof was sufficient of their
having subscribed to or advocated
the doctrine of overthrowing the gov
ernment, but he put the blame for
failure in the large number of cases
where warrants were canceled upon
Attorney-General Palmer. He also re
proached Commissioner"-General Cam
inetti for long delays which held sev
eral scores of men in jail at Ellis
island from November until March
while their cases were being decided.
He accused the attorney-general of
having, through countless department
oi justice operatives, made whole
sale raids throughout the country
upon the flimsiest pretexts, dragging
men out of bed at 2 o'clock in the
morning, at an hour when, sleepily,
they would admit almost anything.
As proof that the operatives had
not gathered in any large number of
bomb-throwers, as had been charged,
he said that out of all the hundreds
arrested . only four had been caught
with arms in their possession.
Only Four Plstola Taken.
' "Four pistols," he said; "that was
all that were found on all these dan
gerous characters, and two of those
were of .22 caliber. Now, I do not
know anything about revolvers, be
cause I never carried one: I do not
know whether a .22-caliber pistol is
a homeopathic pill or a ball for a
cannon, but my understanding is that
a really dangerous man would choose
a more formidable weapon." Then
he added that no chemicals or explo
sives were taken.
He was anxious to emphasize his
entire sympathy with the decision of
several months ago of Secretary Wil
son to deport members of the com
munist party, but also in sympathy
with a ruling made by Secretary
Wilson Wednesday against deporting
members, of the communist .labor
party. He said that the pledge taken
by members of the latter party did
not show it to be' in favor of forcible
overthrow of the government.
Ovrn Decision (footed.
To make it clear that he favored
deportation of the actual anarchist.
communist and bloody revolutionist,
he quoted from his decision Jn the
case of Thomas Truss, which is one.
of those Involved In the charges under I
investigation. Truss was freed on the j
grounds that he was not knowingly j
guilty of belonging to an organization ;
advocating overthrow of the govern- I
ment, and In the decision Assistant
Post said:
"To permit the alien to violate the I
hospitality of the country bv con- i
spiracy against it Is something no
American can contemplate with pa
tience. It is equally important, how
ever,, that there must be no despotic
proceedings on flimsv Droof to deDort
aliens who are not conspiring against
our laws and do not intend to."
. Newspaper Men Are Blamed. '
He termed the report of the house
immigration committee on the depor
tation cases a "combination of errors.
ignorance and misinformation." Many
or tne attacks upon him were laid to
what he characterized as "two-salary
newspaper men, meaning reporters
drawing salaries on the side from
sources other than their newspaper
employers. He admitted, however,
that he had no proof "in a single
case" of such an arrangement.
Every word that he said was taken
down by a stenographer for Attorney-General.
Palmer's office, and at
least three or four operatives for the
department of justice mingled in the
audience. There was no attempt to
conceal me ieua between the depart
ment of labor and the department of
justice.
Every sort of labor organization
and every radical idea was repre
sented at the hearing. Frederick C.
Howe, former commissioner of immi
gration, who is shown by the records
of congressional ' investigations to
have carried on correspondence with
Emma Goldman and Elizabeth Gurley
Flynn and to have accepted their rec
ommendations in turning loose "reds"
and white slavers at Ellis "Island,
was present representing the Plumb
Plan league. Henry Muss?y. former
editor of "The Nation," now with
"The Searchlight." bent a listening
ear, and Judson King, secretary of the
National Popular Government league,
who presided at a radical meeting
here a year ago, which got congress
very much excited, sat near Mr. Post.
Women Also Attend. '
Lincoln Colcord, former editor of
"The Nation" and once the special
confidant of President Wilson until he
denounced Mr. Wilson at the close of
tn ..Paris peace conference as "this
amazing charlatan," was another in
terested spectator. Women rpnrn.nt.
atlves were there for the Women's '
union ldi league, the League of
American Women Voters and a half
dozen other organizations, the most
noticeable of whom was Mrs. E. P.
Costigan, wife of a meinber of the
tariff commission, but herself head of
the League of American Women
Voters. i
Mrs. Costigan. an exceedingly beau
tiful woman, was too well dressed to
impress anyone that she could ever
become intensely radical, though she
nodded approval of ' much that Mr.
Post said in criticism of the course
of the department of justice.
Mr. Post will, appear before the
committee again tomorrow.
