THE MOKNIXG OKEGONIAX, TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1920
TO
CITY FOR MEMBERS
200 Canvassers Will Begin
Drive of Week.
4000 GOAL SET BY CREW
Heads of Public Body Tell of
Good Accomplished and
.Plans for Future.
Backed by conclusive arguments in
favor of the support of the Chamber
of Commerce by business and profes-,
sional men of the city, about 200
members of that organization today
will begin their sweeping campaign
for new members, the drive to last
the remainder of this week. Prepara- !
tory to beginning the actual work of
increasing the membership by more ;
than 4000 within the week, a banquet
was held last evening at the Oregon I
building, line of action to be followed
being dwelt on by officials of the i
Chamber. , I
Speaking as president of the Cham
ber. H. B. Van Duzer told the cam- 1
paigners that they should experience
no real difficulty in securing as mem
bers all of the firms and individuals
whose names are now on the books
of the Chamber as "prospects."
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.
Chairman of this year's membership
committee, the membership of the
Chamber of Commerce has grown in
18 months from 1800 members to 3370.
The annual expenditure of the Cham
ber is $168,000 and still more funds
are needed to operate adequately.
Plans are being made to set on foot
a great publicity campaign to tell the
residents of other states the advan
tages Portland possesses in commer
cial opportunity, shipping, climate, lo
cation and living conditions. It was
asserted by the speakers last evening
that several eastern manufacturing
companies had already tentatively
made known their intention to locate
In Portland.
Other prominent speakers last even
ing were Max S. Hirsch of the board
of directors, F. M. Clark and O. W.
Mielke, former chairman of the mem
bership committee of the organiza
tion. For facilitating the work of secur
ing new members today, the city has
been divided into four districts. The
personnel in charge of the campaign
is: Frank E. Andrews, chairman; W.
H. Barton, secretary; E. C. Sammons.

of them that the suit is being tried.
Junge fled when the trucks were tak

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

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.

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

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."

TION OP FAST TRAIN".
Inbound Cars Estimated to Have
Been Traveling at 46 Miles
Hoar Testimony Is Oral.
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. Neither would he say
that block signals would have been
more likely in avoiding the crash of
the two passenger trains.
Other railroad operators. 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. Much of the testimony
given yesterday was technical in char
acter, and for the -purpose of deter
mining whether or not different rail
road regulations and appliances would
have averted the wreck.
Examiner Rasch submitted his re

feature of the accident, including the
results of actual tests made at the
scene of the accident by special tralus.
but does not contain any recommen

The hearing was conducted by
Chairman Buchtel, who said that the
'nquiry would iesult in the commis
sion issuing new crcers for the oper
ation of the electris trains, if It is
found that the present system is not a
proper one. Whether or not such new
orders might be forthcoming was not
Indicated. The commission's findings
probably will not be made public for

PORTLAND SCHOOLS LIKED

-Systems In Vogue.
R. H. Thomas, clerk of the Portland
school board, returned yesterday from
Minneapolis, where he attended the
ninth annual meeting of the National
Association of Accounting and Busi
ness Officials. Mr. Thomas delivered
an address on "The School Cafeteria."
in which he cited many instances of
successful operation in this city. The
150 leaflets he had prepared to go
with this were insufficient to meet
the demand.
A talk on handling textbooks in
the schools by Samuel Geiser of New
ark' prompted Mr. Thomas to intro
duce a resolution at the meeting,
which was unanimously adopted. This
called for a report at the next meet
ing on a recommended procedure for
mechanical inspection and handling
of the free texts and a digest of the
advantages and disadvantages of free
books. The Portland delegate was
made chairman of the committee to
handle this.
The convention was attended by of
ficials from 72 cities.

The tone of refinement in pa
trons and entertainment at THE
OAKS is something we are justly
proud of, for it cannot be found
in another such park anywhere.
THE OAKS is carefully man
aged that every visitor may say
only, when he leaves the park,
that he has thoroughly enjoyed
himself.
With such a moral surrounding
as a foundation, we have built
here upon the banks of the river
an amusement resort second to
none in the nation. A pleasure
place where the tiniest tot or the
most dignified adult may find
something to divert his attention
-and cause him to forget the cares
of the day.
To show you just what we have
at THE OAKS, we repeat our
cordial invitation to every reader
to come to the park before 5
P. M. any day except Sundays
and Molidays and be admitted
free of cost
