Volume of "Work Cited. "Our work this year has been of more volume than ever before' said President Van Duzer, "and the pres ent is not the time to release the reins. If ever Portland needed a live, thoroughly wide-awake Chamber of Commerce it is now. Impress upon the minds of those to whom you speak that, in a measure, the prosperity of the city depends largely upon this organization. We must increase our shipping facilities, make bids for east ern manufacturing concerns who con template the establishment of -branches on the coast and be able to offer attractive inducements to the tourists who will shortly begin their annual pilgrimage from the east to the coast." Charging every volunteer to start out today with confidence in his mis sion, E. G. Crawford, vice-president of the United States National bank and director of the Chamber, ad dressed the assemblage. He said that the Pacific ocean would soon begin to lure eastern industrial firms to the coast, here to engage in oriental com merce, which promises to assume a commanding position in the commer cial affairs of the world. Europe is bankrupt, said Mr. Crawford, and the United States must depend upon the eastern nations for a great part of its commerce. Portland is the distribut ing point for the entire northwest, said the speaker. Growth la Shown. According to Frank K. Andrews.

"Call John T. King, who started in as manager of General Wood's cam paign, if you want to know about the story of the underwriting of the Wood campaign. I take it this is a real investigation and not a side show. I know of one man who put up $30,000 for Wood. If King won't tell I'll give you the name." Dr. R. J. Hershy of Wheeling, ap pearing for Senator Sutherland, re publican of West Virginia, dealt at length with, the Wood campaign there, declaring It had been like "a circus with its gross publicity," Senator Sutherland, he said, had spent about $3500 in his campaign. S e n a t or Poindexter, republican, Washington, with S75.000, was second to Governor Lowden in size of ex penditures actually expended, and Senator Johnson of California, repub lican, with $68,138, was third. The largest contributor to the Jonnson fund was R. B. Strausburger of Nor ristown, Pa., who gave $27,000, ac cording to Angus McSween, manager of Johnson's eastern headquarters, William Flinn of Pittsburg, gave $7500 to the Johnson ca--paign, he testified. Funds Raised I'Ocally. Senator Johnson's friends in Cali fornia paid their own expenses in the primary there, Mr. McSween said, and also sent $8500 to eastern headquar ters. Funds for the Michigan campaign also were raised locally, the witness said. H. M. Rice, secretary to Senator Poindexter, testified that J. F. Bache, banker of New York, had furnished $25,000 for the Poindexter campaign while Wiljiam H. Todd, a Brooklyn shipbuilder, had given $20,000. Mr. Hitchcock, the first witness, tes tified that it had been understood when he joined the Wood organiza tion that he was not to handle cam paign contributions and said informa tion as to them and expenditures could be obtained from A. A. Sprague and H. C. Stebbins. Colonel Proctor, he added, was the general manager of. the Wood campaign. . Two States Cost Heavily. The "greatest expenses" were in the big primary fights, "like Illinois and Michigan," he said. He testified that thev were handled from Chicago and that he didn't favor making the fight in those states. The Wood campaign in Michigan, he said, was financed bv the Michigan organization. Mr. Hitchcock said that when he Joined the Wood forces he found, tre mendous headquarters in various cities; that these were a "very serious drain on campaign finances," and that eventually their cost became so great they, had to be cut down. "Our finances were always exhaust ed." he declared. "That has been one of our difficulties always, to get money to meet legitimate needs. J. F. Lucey. New York, represent ing Herbert Hoover, republican, will be the first witness tomorrow, i.nair man Kenyon announced. - The largest outlay specifically tes tified to was $15,000. which Frank H. Hitchcock, one of Major-General Leonard Wood's managers, said had been sent into New Jersey by the Wood organization. Angus McSween. eastern manager for Senator Johnson of California, said his candidate sent $13,207 into that state. Mr. Hitchcock told the committee he could throw little light on Gen eral Wood's campaign finances and he was not asked as to contributions. Mr. McSween, however, testified that the total contributions to Johnson's national organization was 168,1JS while expenditures bad totalled $72,230. tfae Bodies Help. Both Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. Mc Sween said Btate organizations had gathered their own funds in many in stances. After Mr. Hitchcock naa concluded hi testimony the committee sum moned A. A. Sprague. Horace C. Steb bins and Colonel William C. Proctor. Wood campaign managers. Mr. Hitchcock said Mr. Sprague was treasurer of General Wood s eastern headquarters and Mr. Stebbins treas urer of the Chicago headquarters. Dr. Ralph J.

S4099 Spent In Michigan. "Is it true with Senator Johnson's campaign, as with others," said Sen. ator Spencer, "that in the various states some amounts were spent of which you can give no account be cause ther were locally raised?" "Well, yes," Mr. McSween said, "but I can make some estimates of that expenditure in South Dakota. re braaka and Montana. It was all small." "How about Michigan ? asked Senator Spencer. "I think about $4000 there. In South Dakota, $3000." Chairman Kenyon asked for names of California representatives who could account lor Johnson ex penditures. "I can account for substantially all expenses except those in California, the witness said. Mr. McSween said the Johnson organization sent $1300 into Mon tana and paid $900 in accounts in curred in Minneapolis. "We had sent $2800 to North Car olina up to the last week, he con tinued. That is a complete ac count, including amounts that -went for campaign cigars." "Did you have no local organlza tions in the states which collected money?" asked Senator Pomerene. "No, H. C. Swayne. our manager in Indiana, collected $1000," Mr. Mc Sween replied. "We gave up the at i tempt because many me, who would assure us privately of their support said they could not afford to offend political associates or business asso ciates by coming openly." Asked by Chairman Kenyon if he could tell the full amount of money expended and who the contributors were. Mr. Hitchcock said: "All that can be obtained, but the treasurers of the campaign organiza tions have the data. I asked to be excused from the financing work, though after my connection with toe campaign became established some checks were sent to me by individuals amounting to not more than $20,090 or $25,000, I think. All of that I turned over to the treasurers." . Mr. Hitchcock said that in Mich igan the Wood campaign was financed "by local people" without any call on the national organization. Colonel Fred Alger of Detroit, he said, was the state chairman. Before Mr. Hitchcock was called. Chairman Kenyon explained the pur poses of the inquiry. Uo Pont Aid Denied. "There Is no intention." he said, "to aid or injure any of the various candidates for the presidency in any party." The committee began inquiring again as to expenditures in individual states. Mr. Hitchcock said he knew of no money raised in Delaware. "Didn't a large interest, the Du Fonts, contribute there?" asked Sen ator Kenyon. "I'm certain they did not do so," Mr. Hitchcock replied. "While Mr. Miller, one of our managers, lived in that state and looked after affairs I know several of the Du Fonts, and I would have been told." Discussing the Michigan campaign. Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, wanted to know if Colonel Alger was not a wealthy man and whether any other wealthy men were on the Wood organization roll in Michigan. He was the only one who would answer that description, I think," Mr. Hitchcock replied. Senator Reed asked how much the New York state organization spent. I don t know," replied the witness. "That campaign was begun long be fore I entered. I was informed that less than $10,000 was spent by the local organization. 'The great expenses were in the big primary fights, like Illinois and Ohio. bad nothing to do with those, they. were handled from Chicago. I didn'n favor making contests in those two states." L. L. Emerson, Low den's campaign manager, said Governor Lowden first had refused to accept any contribu- ions, saying he would furnish all funds himself, and he testified that he governor had turned over to him $379,175.78. Contributions from other sources, he said, totaled $35,825. 'In South Dakota we spent $9783: n Oregon $11,000: in North Dakota $2000."

From experiments made with a test train -and from all deductions which can be arrived at after an investiga tion of all circumstances, the inbound Southern Pacific train which crashed into an outbound train at Bertha sta tion siding on the morning of June 9 was traveling at the rate of 4S miles an hour. This was the oral testimony yes terday of Fred A. Rasch, examiner and engineer for the Oregon public service commission, who was the last witness called by the commission in Its public hearing on the tragic wreck which took a toll of nine lives. Charles Martyn, assistant superin tendent of the Southern Pacific, as serted that the west side branch where the collision occurred is not considered any more dangerous than any other line.

Including Conductor Johnson and Brakeman O'Connor of the outbound train, and D. J. McLardy, train dispatcher, gave testimony concerning the operation of the west side electric trains. The hearing, which conclude ! dur ing the afternoon, is a continuation of the Joint tearing held by the pub lic service commission with Coroner Smith to betermine the responsibility for the wreck.
