MOUNTAIN OF CLAIMS MET Sub-Committee Appointed to Examine Many Documents. DAY HAS FEW RESULTS Seating of Two Regularly Report ed Delegates From District of Columbia Main Business. CHICAGO, June 1. Another session with little progress in actual results marked the work of the republican national committee today in Its course of deciding; the claims of contesting delegations. The seating of two. regularly re ported delegates from the District of Columbia, said to be favorable to Major-General Leonard Wood, and an extended hearing of the Georgia con test involving delegates pledged to Wood and another group counted as favorable to Low den, was the prin cipal business. The committee declined to reopen its action of a year ago by which it seated Emile Kuntz of New Orleans, as national committeeman from Louisiana. The appeal of Frank C. Labit of New Iberia was denied. Florida Contest BIsr One. At the outset of today's session the committee expected to hear the re port of a sub-committee and close up the three-cornered fight from Florida, But the question of law and fact turned out to be so voluminous that the committee headed by Charles B. Warren, of Detroit, reported that the only conclusion it was prepared to report was that the Florida delegates, headed by A. L. Church of Jackson ville, had no claim on which the com mittee could act. As to the contest between the regu larly reported factions led by Na tional Committeeman Bean and the other headed by H. L. Anderson of Jacksonville, the sub-committee rec ommended a rehearing, which prob ably will come tomorrow. The committee then went into the Georgia contest. Looked upon as the first real test of political significance and having a bearing on the strength of the Wood or Lowden men, it drew a large audience, including a large number of southern negroes. Oratory Grows Furlons. The contest opened with a dash of oratory and was continued with con siderable fury, and at the end of four hot hours 'the committee found itself confronted with such a mass of con flicting claims, arguments, charges and counter-charges that it appointed a sub-committee, headed by Mr. Warren, to examine the documents and report. Henry Lincoln Johnson, an Atlanta negro, heads the regularly reported delegation, which is tjaid to be counted in the Lowden column. The contest ing delegation, known as the Pickett faction, is pledged to General Wood. The action of the committee means 17 seats for Wood or Lowden, and a de cision is expected tomorrow. The contest ranges about charges of a bolt, but the national committee de eided it would have towitudy the evi dence to decide who bolted. Dupli cate convention rolls and credentials figured in the evidence. The committee today made final its decision to scat all the excess dele gates on the convention floor in extra spaces and to lot the excess alter nates find scats amocg the spectators. right Is Three-Cornered. The Florida case. In which the com mittee was called upon to decide whether there was, in legal effect. any republican party in Florida promised In a sense to show the first indications on the candidacies of Major-General Leonard Wood, Gov ernor Frank O. Lowden and Senator Hiram Johnson. None of the three contesting dele gations is pledged, but the various members say that the first or regu larly reported delegation headed by J National Committeeman Bean' of Tampa is favorable to General Wood; that the second delegation headed by H. L. Anderson of Jacksonville Is favorable to Senator Johnson, and that the third headed by A. L. Church of Jacksonville is favorable to the candidacy of Governor Lowden. North Carolina Asks Delay. While a sub-committee was review ing the evidence in the Georgia con test, tho national committee passed on to the Mississippi contests, where two separate delegations have been presented for the four delegates-at-large and the eight districts.' ..... But North Carolina also asked for a delay and the commintce passed to tho question of alternates from Mon tana. None are provided by the state machinery, but eight were Certified by the secretary of state. The committee settled the Montana case by seating the first eight -dele gates who received the highest votes and selecting the last eight del egates as alternates. A similar tde- cision was made as to Oregon. The Mississippi factions, however. I Grain Exchanges Consider Plans for Resumption of Trading , In Future Deliveries. WASHINGTON, June 1. Federal control of wheat and wheat products ended today, the wheat director ceas ing to function under the limitation of the law creating his office and the food administration control ending by proclamation of President Wilson. This means the passing of the gov ernment guarantee of $2.20 a bushel for wheat. As eoon as some remain ing contracts are carried out by the United States grain corporation, that body will turn over its finances to the treasury department. Licensing of dealers in wheat and wheat products has been in the hands of the wheat director and the food administration and this automatically ended today. Dealers without fixed contracts are free to buy and sell at such prices as conditions warrant. CHICAGO. June i. Plans for re sumption of trading future deliveries of wheat will be considered here to morrow at a meeting of representa tives of the eight leading grain ex changes in the country. Each ex change will have two delegates pres ent. Many important Phases are to be discussed, and it may be several days before any definite conclusions are reached. Until specific methods and safe guards are decided upon and later ratified by the various exchanges, wheat trading will continue as of late to be restricted to business in volving only wheat available for im mediate delivery. GASOLINE TRUST DOUBTED High Prices Due to Demand, Says Federal Commission. WASHINGTON, June 1. Recent ad vances in the price of gasoline and other petroleum products were as cribed "more to varyinsr conditions of supply and demand in the light of emphatic and pessimistic statements as to the future supply than to a com bination in restraint of trade," by the federal trade commission tonight in a report to congress. Strong demand is the primary cause of the higher prices, the commission said, adding that conditions in the oil trade now appear to be creatly improved with respect to production and Imports. The commission said it was unable to say whether the prices of the re fined products were "disproportion- te" to advances in- crude oil prices. and that it was likewise impossible to report on the companies profits for the current year, though in 1919 the profits of many of the large oil companies were large." HOUSE VOTES TO ADJOURN Close Set for Saturday by Mondell Resolution. WASHINGTON, June 1. Without a record vote, the house today adopted a resolution offered by Representative Mondell of Wyoming, republican lead er, providing for a sine die adjourn ment of congress at 4 o'clock Sat urday. Representative Mondell of Wyoming, republican leader, declared by Satur day congress would have "disposed of every important matter before it." Answering inquiries Mr. Mondell said he doubted whether any legisla tion might be passed, to increase the supply of print paper, declared that the postal salary Increase bill would be considered Thursday and that con gress could do nothing at present to increase the supply of fertilizer for farmers. 10 POSTMASTERS RENAMED President Announces List of Serv ice Reappointments.

ROLL CALL SHOWS LINEUP Thirteen Democrats Join With Re publicans In Final Vote Op position Votes Solidly. WASHINGTON, June 1. President Wilson's plea for an American man date over Armenia was rejected in the senate today by a vote of more than 2 to 1. Thirteen democrats 'cast their votes with, the united republican member ship on the final rollcall and the res olution "respectfully declining" to grant congressional authority for the mandate was adopted, 62 to 23, in the form drafted, by the republican leaders. The resolution will be sent to the house tomorrow and the leaders there hope to adopt it without change Thursday. They say they hope for as decisive a majority as that in the senate. In the debate the democratic lead ers counseled delay and tried ini vain to put the decision over until the next session. Scarcely a voice was raised in out and out advocacy of accepting the mandate and on motion to amend the resolution so that the requested authority be given, only 13 senators, all democrats, voted in the affirma tive. Recorded against .the motion were 23 democrats and 39 republicans. In their effort to ward off action, which they argued was advisable be cause of the peace treaty deadlock, the minority leaders had better re sults. The resolution to send the res olution back to committee with in structions that it be "reported after the ratification of a peace treaty with the cent'-U powere" mustered almost solid democratic support, but was lost. 43 to 34.

The su preme court in an unanimous opinion today held that federal constitutional amendments cannot be submitted to popular vote for ratification by states having referendum provisions in their constitutions. The method of ratifying amend ments, the court held, is a national power specifically granted by the federal constitution, and the states, have no authority to provide other wise. In so holding, the court de clared inoperative provisions of the Ohio state constitution authorizing submission of federal amendments to a referendum for ratification, and overturned state supreme court , de crees dismissing Injunction proceed ings in a taxpayer's suit to enjoin submission of the prohibition and woman suffrage amendments to a referendum vote. Next to the cases involving the va lidity of the prohibition amendment and the enforcement act, the Ohio referendum cases were considered the most important before the supreme court. The decision does not affect the pen'aig prohibition cases. The court's decision, however, puts an end to any controversy as to whether Ohio has ratified both amendments and puts Ohio definitely in the list of states approving both amendments.

Checks for Missouri In spected by Senators. $32,000 USED FOR 'WORKERS' Delegate -at -Large Found With Harding Money Also. OHIO ANGLE DISCUSSED Publisher Estimates $200,000 Is Spent in Wood-Harding Po litical Maneuvers. WASHINGTON. June 1. .(By the Associated Press.) Checks aggre gating S40.000 sent into Missouri by the managers of Governor Lowden's campaign, were presented today to the senate committee .investigating the pre-convention expenditures of presidential candidates. While most of the day was devoted by the committee to questioning wit nesses as to the expenditure of sums covered by the checks, primary con tests in other states were touched upon. In its inquiry into the Lowden campaign in Missouri, the committee questioned Nat Goldstein and Robert E. Moore, delegates to the republican national convention from Missouri, Who testified that they each had re ceived a check for S2500 from the Lowden campaign fund. Both said the money still was held to their account in banks and would be re turned, unless Governor Lowden were nominated, in which event it would be used in the "campaign. MlMaonrt Committeeman Qaizr.ed. J. B. Babler, national committee man from Missouri, whom Goldstein and Moore designated as the one who transmitted the checks to them from L. L. Emerson, Lowden campaign manager, also was questioned by the committee. E. L. Morse, head of the Lowiien Mioouri organization outside of St. Louis, testified that he had received by check from Mr. Emerson approximately $32,000 and expended It in "getting out the workers." Babler got $17,000 of these funds, he said, to reimburse him for similar ex penditures. Both Moore and Goldstein said they had declared no money was necessary in their congressional districts. Moore said Babler had told him "Aw, go ahead and take it," when he had hesi tated about accepting a check from Emerson. Babler Pressed on Point. Babler was pressed on this point by Chairman Kenyon when he ap peared later. "Was it a pretty hard job to get Moore and Goldstein to take the money?" the senator asked. Well, T was very anxious about the St. Louis situation, Babler re plied. "I wanted to tic them up and urged Emerson to assist in any way necessary to get their active support. Morse and Babler gave from mem ory lists of state "workers'" to whom they had distributed the money re ceived from Emerson. Tho amounts ranged as a rule from $100 to $300, but n some instances exceeded $1000. Morse said three men on lists were national delegates, including William E. Cole, who is a delesate-at-large. The witness said he had given Cole $i00 for "headquarters" purposes. Cole Declared for Lowden. Senator Kenyon promptly called at tention to the fact that previous testi mony before the committee showed Cole had received $1250 to "sound out" sentiment for Harding. Morse and Babler said they had understood Cole was for Lowden. with Senator Hard ing, "perhaps as a second choice. Here is a delegate-at-Iarge with $1250 Harding money and $500 Low den money," said Senator Kenyon. Who is third choice? Additional Information as to the Wood campaign in Michigan was pre sented by Fred A. Alger of Detroit, who said he had personally contrib uted $50,000 of the $54,000 Wood fund raised and expended in the state and already In tho committee's records. He had also expended personally, he added. $22,000 or $25,000. "I was proud to do it. I would do it again." Johnson Personally Favored. One feature of the Missouri situa tion which drew the attention of com mittee members particularly was the statements of Morse and Babler tbat when the Lowden project was' first mentioned to them, they believed too sentiment had "crystalized for Lew den in Missouri." Both said they had personally favored the candidacy of Senator jonnson oi California "as long as he had a! chance." Babler added that In December or January of this year when tho Lowden, matter was taken up, he did not believe Johnson "had a ghost of a chance,' which -influenced bis action. Robert F. Wolfe, publisher of the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch and the Ohio State Journal, testified that his papers "had taken an active part" in tho recent Ohio primary contest be tween Major-General Leonard Wood and Senator Harding of that state. "Politics in our state, he said, "is In the hands of an inside coterie of men. whom I have felt it a duty to oppose." I wanted to support Senator ll'uucludcd on i'age t, Colunia 3.) Watchman Held Up at Point 61 Rifle and Catch. Removed by Men in Launch. SEATTLE. Wash., June 1. (Spe cial.) Coming like a challenge to the American government, the fish pi rates of southeastern Alaska, includ ing many of the most desperate char acters in Pacific waters, have re sumed their armed night raids in the fish traps of tho salmon canning com panies, this year's warfare beginning with a sudden descent on one of the traps of the Hawk Inlet plant owned by P. E. Harris and company of Se attle. News that the pirates are operating again, despite the presence of sub marine chasers In southeastern Alas ka waters, was received in Seattle this morning. Near the end of last month one of tho piratical launches slipped up to trap number 3 of the Harris plant in Hawk Inlet at 1:30 o'clock in the morning, with two men aboard, both armed with rifles. They held up the watchman, stole all the salmon em- pounded in the trap then fled in their launch. Several other raids have followed. Hawk Inlet is in the Icy strait dis trict and the boldness of the raid is shown by the fact that a submarine chaser was patrolling these waters at tho time. P. E. Harris, head of the Harris company, who was in Hawk Inlet, telegraphed the governor's of fice in Juneau. BOY, 13, FORGERY SUSPECT Lad Declared to Have Left Trait or Bad Checks.

The boy met Mrs. Parry while he was an in mate in the home. The lad is also alleged to have passed a check at the Multnomah hotel, and two more in Seattle, Wash., where his parents live. He was sent to the county jail and will be tried til the juvenile court. The Seattle authorities have asked for his return to that city.

VICE-PRESIDENT IS ROILED Shout in House or "Throw Them ' Out' Is Answered by Veil That Job Is Too Bis for All. WASHINGTON. Juno 1. Both the senate and the house were thrown into an uproar today by an outburst of women sympathizers with Irish freedom. There were evidently two parties to the demonstration, which started first in the senate during delivery of a speech by Senator Brandegee. re publican, Connecticut, opposing ac ceptance of a mandate over Armenia. Later a woman eluded guards at the house door and with friends In the gallery shouted a challenge to mem-" bers to deny their appeal in behalf of Ireland. The women, answering a demand from the floor that they be thrown out and locked up, defied the entire house to attempt it. and as guards started after them they raced around the gallery, creating great disorder until, they finally were subdued and ejected. Offenders Permitted to Go. Although the offenders were) es corted to the Capitol guardroom, no charges were lodged against them and they were permitted to go. A woman's shrill voice from the gallery, breaking suddenly the pro verbial dignity of the senate just after Senator Prandegee had referred to "the ravishes of the Hun," startled senators and attendants alike. As tho woman shouted, "why not eject the English Hun from Ireland?" gal lery guards made a rush in her di rection, while the strident command from Vice-president Marshall to "put her out" led Instantly to heckling from other parts of the gallery. For a moment a whirlwind of ques tions swept down from the galleries while the vice-president, laying aside his gavel, shouted sharp, peremptory orders to the attendants to remove the women. Order finally was re stored. Woman Screams C'oardsr Word that the hecklers had in vaded the senate reached the house before the women started the second performance. One young woman, however, slipped through the cloak room door, planted herself in the main aisle and suddenly screamed "cowards'." Instantly her companions In the allery began screaming a volley of questions, all relating to the Irish question. For a few moments the hecklers seemed to control the activi ties of the house. Speaker Gillctt's gavel kept up an Insistent tapping and there were shouts of "throw them out," with an answering yell that tha job was too big for all the house. As the guards dashed after the hecklers, a wild race started around the benches, with" everybody standing until the picket brigade finally was captured and put out. D. T. O'Connell, director of the Friends of Irish Freedom, declared n a statement tonight that the heck ling was "wholly without authority and without the knowledge of any re sponsible officer or representatives of the national council of the Friends of Irish Freedom or associated or ganizations." Pullman Berth Rate Raised. THE DALLES, Or., June 1. (Spe cial.) An increase in Pullman berth rentals of 20 per cent, effective today, was announced at the local railway station. No reason was assigned for the advance. THE OREGON I AN'S NEWS SERVICE FROM THE CONVENTIONS WILL EXCEL.
