ISSUES ARE NOT VITAL
Londen and Wood Most Affected
but Neither Could Gain Enough
to Insure Nomination.
CHICAGO. May 30. When the re
publican national committee tomor
row begins making decisions on con
testing delegations to the conven
tion, it will, according, to announce
ment by Will H. Hays, chairman,
proceed to make "judicial decisions,
not political ones."
Contests this year are not sur
rounded with the importance they
took, on in the memorable Taft-Roose-velt
fight of 1912. Although Major
General Wood and Governor Lowden
are most affected by the decisions,
neither would gain enough delegates
to assure a nomination if all the con- Porto Rico
tests were to be decided in his favor.
Quick DmIiIom Hoped For.
The official roll shows 137 seats in
contest out of the 984 which compose
the convention. Further filings prob
ably will bring the total up to 148.
The national committee hopes to dis

WASHINGTON. May 30. Despite the
recent reductions in prices, little re
lief from the general reign of high
prices is seen by the federal reserve
board in its analysis of May business
conditions, made public tonight. The
board .expressed the view that there
has been no change in the underlying
conditions responsible for the high
cost of living.
Asserting that while "stre sales'
and a tendency to lower prices bear
witness to the presence of "disturb
ing factors" which suggest the adven
of wide alteration in price levels, the
board declares it cannot accept the
situation as a whole for its face
value.
The explanation is added that there
has been only a slight increase in
production and there is no greate
disposition on the part of the general
public to economize and invest than
had ruled heretofore.
Modification Held Unlikely,
"The changes that have taken place,
therefore." the board's analysis Bays,
"cannot be looked upon as indicating
a modification of underlying condl
tions. They may. however, afford
basis for changes in business relation
Khins that may broaden into more
Get ! far-reaching alteration of the essen
tial price structure.'

BEND. Or., May 30. (Special.) L,
K. Shephard, prominent merchant of
Bend, was drowned in Suttle's lake
and Norval Springer and Harry Brew
er were rescued late yesterday after
an hour and a half in the icy waters
of the lake, where they, clung to a'
capsized boat. Mr. Shephard's body
was brought to Bend today. He is
survived by his widow and an infant
daughter.
Accompanied by Norval Springer of
this city, Shephard set out by auto
yesterday morning for Square lake.
From Suttle lake the trip had to be
made by boat and on foot and, despite
the fact that a high wind was blow
ing, they started across the lake, tak
ng with them 20-year-old Harry
Brewer, who had been left in charge
of the Suttle lake resort. Skirting
the shore, they had been on the water
for about 15 minutes when the detach
able motor at the rear of the boat re
fused to work and one of the oars
manned by Springer slipped from the
lock and the boat swung broadsids
to the wind, shipping water so rapidly
that the occupants, equipped only with
hats for bailing, were constantly los- -
ing ground.
Shephard Jumps Overboard.
"She's filling," Shephard called, and
rising from his seat jumped over
board, and, though hampered by rub
ber hip boots and a sheepskin coat,
struck out strongly for shore, a dis
tance of a little more than 50 yards.
When more than half-way to the
shore and only 35 feet from a point
where he would have found a gravel
beach underfoot he sank.
In jumping overboard Shephard
capsized the craft and twice in the
next hour and a half Springer's life
was saved by young Brewer, the only
one of the two who was able to swim.
Alternately immersed in the Icy
waters of the lake and clinging to
the bottom of the boat, they were
finally rescued when William Young,
proprietor of the resort, arrived at
the boat landing with F. E. Howard
of Bend, and. hearing calls for help,
put out on the lake. Springer was
unconscious for three hours after his
rescue.
Motor I -out ta Lake,
The fact that the motor slipped
from the boat at the time it was
overturned is believed to have saved
the life of at least one of the sur
vivors, as the craft otherwise would
have been unable to sustain the com
bined weight of Springer and Brewer.
