McAdoo, who has been considered by
party leaders as one of the principal
candidates for the democratic presl

me clear and unmistakable."
His decision was made known in
telegram to Jouett Shouse. democratic
delegate-at-large from Kansas, who
had telegraphed Mr. McAdoo th

Adverse Factor of Increasing Un
employment Is Noted Farm
ers Still Short of Help.
NEW YORK, June 18. Recent de
clines in the prices of a few commodi
ties are not to be regarded as isolated
Instances, but are part of a. gradual
and general movement that has been
under way for a considerable time, the
National Bank of Commerce declared
in a statement today.
"It was not to be expected that the
industrial community could maintain
the high tension under which it had
worked during the war years, and It is
very doubtful as to whether the main
tenance of this tension would have
been desirable," the statement said.
'Despite numerous and widespread
complaints as to the . unsatisfactory
condition of production in the United
States, the fact remains that since the
recovery from the temporary hesita
tion following the armistice, this
country has Increased production in
certain directions.
"A factor not to be overlooked at
present is the increasing unemploy
ment. In some districts large num
bers of men are out of work as a re
sult of disorganized transportation.
This effect has been especially note
worthy in the coal regions and in the
great centers of automobile manufac
ture. Refusal of the public to accept
increased prices or even to maintain
a volume of purchase equal to that of
recent months at the level of prices
then prevailing has reacted sharply on
some sections of the textile industry
and on the garment trades. Consid
erable unemployment in these indus
tries has resulted.
"The agricultural districts continue
to suffer from labor shortage. .
The agricultural outlook is, on the
whole, quite favorable for the grain
crops."

position I have consistently main
tained, namely, that I would not
seek the nomination for the presi

name to go before the convention.
This decision is irrevocable, as the
path of duty seems to me clear and
unmistakable.
-'The considerations which com

McAdoo replied said: ' '

permitting your name to be presented
to the convention. We are certain
you can be nominated and elected."
Referendum on Treaty
Issue Is Welcomed.
DES MOINES, la.. June If. Teas
don't get votes. Mrs. Edward Franklin
White of Indianapolis, chairman of
the .civics committee of the general
federation of women's clubs, said to
day at the biennial convention. She
advised thewomen to "cut out the
teas" if they expected to enter and
continue in politics successfully.
The teas at Chicago were, one rea
son, I -believe, why the men am not
rate us women highe politically. All
you heard among the women was
teas." Mrs. White said.
You don't get votes that way and
that is the only thing that counts In
political organization.
"What does it mean to . be a good
politician? To be able to deliver the
votes. How many women can deliver
the votes In their precincts? Until
you can you are not ready for the
rank and file of the political organiza
tion," said Mrs. 'White, adding that she
would rather be chairman of a pre-;
cinct than have any other office in a
party. After she had made good in
that place she would ask for some
thing . higher, she declared.
Mrs. Guy Blanchard, in charge of
the motion-picture department of the
federation, urged legislation gener
ally for better exhibits and films.
The sex plays which are being
shown generally are directly respon
sible for much of the Juvenile delin
quency of today," she said.
You have found that you can ex
pect no help from the newspapers be
cause they are choked off by their
financial interest in the movie adver
tising. But you can agitate the mat
ter strongly by word of mouth.
'There is no industry which takes
so much of the public's money and
makes so small a return to the public
good as the motion-picture industry."
A telegram from representatives of
the motion-picture companies was
read which said the producers realized
the desire of the public for higher
types of pictures and were preparing
to co-operate.
Delegates are talking about the ap
proaching election of officers for the
federation. Supporters of -Mrs. T. G.
Winter of Minneapolis and Miss Geor
gia Bacon of Massachusetts for pres
ident are working in efforts to get the
votes of unpledged state delegations.
. There is some talk of, a "dark horse'
candidate if the balloting should show
a deadlock between Miss Bacon and
Mrs. Winter. The election will take
place Tuesday. '
With the realization that but a few
hours separated Portland from the
first onrushing horde of Shriners, ira
patiently traveling to the oasis o
Portland, all the Portland committees
were on their toes yesterday arrang
ing the final details.
Even Mayor Baker, crutches and
all, hobbled down to Shrine headquar
ters to attend to the parade details
hich he felt none but he could
handle.
In the meantime telegraph messen
gers were dashing in with hourly
reports from this special or that spe
cial, giving bulletins on the arrival
times, and many of the telegrams
were frantically imploring: "Are you
sure you can take care of us all?"
' Heavy Mall Arriving.

Warren G. Harding, the republican

Mr.. Harding's assertions, made to
newspaper men at his daily confer
ence, were closely fallowed by a
statement by Herbert Hoover indors
ing- the choice of the Chicago con
vention and -urging all republicans to
support the national ticket.
Platform Suits Hoover.
Mr. Hoover issued his statement
after a breakfast conference with
Senator Harding, arranged by. the
latter. The conference, it was ex
plained, was part of the republican
nominee's general plan of meeting
party leaders to learn their views
and bring together into a harmonious
organization the ' various party
groups. ,
The former food administrator in
hi - statement " said the republican
platform for the most part was con
structive and. progressive, and the
ompromlse planks on the treaty and
labor, as well as on a number of
other subjects, were susceptible to a
"forward-looking Interpretation."
Some issues, including reorganiza
tion of election expenditures and the
primaries, he added, were "not ade
quately dealt with," but the develop
ment of several party organizations
built upon several individual view
points would be disastrous.
Spironl Promises Help.
Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania.
in a letter received today congratu
lated Senator Harding and assured
him of his support in the campaign.
"It is needless to tell you," Gov
ernor Sproul wrote,"that I am pleased
with the whole situation, and that
you will have my devoted services in
any way in which they may be use
fuL"
A similar letter also was received
from Franklin MacVeagh, ex-secretary
of the treasury, who asked the
senator to accept "the hearty and
loyal good wishes of a beaten Wood
man."
"My guess is," sa;d Mr. MacVeagh,
"that your attitude in the campaign,
from the beginning, will show that
progressives of the Wood .stripe are
easily included in your political sym
pathies and that as a candidate and
subsequently as president you will
stand as a progressive conservative.

HIRAM AVOIDS POLITICS
Senator in Chicago Says He Will
Rest Before Talking.
CHICAGO. June 18. Senator Hiram
W. Johnson, accompanied by Mrs.
Johnson, arrived in Chicago today
from Washington en route to Califor
nia. He refused to make a statement
on the political situation.
"I have cleared my mind of politics
completely," he said. "I have nothing
at all to say. I am going to my home
in California, sit on the front porch
and look down into the bay. Maybe
after I have sat there a while I will
make a statement."
insky that they might have his Car
for joy-riding purposes, according to
Moore, who charged that Brake did
the actual .killing, presumably by
beating the driver on the head with,
heavy automobile chains.
The prisoners were captured through
the agency of Miss Bertha Shodahl,
621 Irving street, who informed In
spectors Hellyer and Leonard that her
friend. Russell Brake, had purchased
a car Sunday morning and had later
discovered blood in the tonneau. He
had told the girl that he thought the
blood was oil until after he heard of
the murder.
Youths Are Arrested.
Brake and Moore, both of 216 Polk
street in St. Johns, were arrested lata
yesterday by police inspectors.
Moore in his confession at police
headquarters shortly after his arrest,
told the inspector!, that Brake killed
Dubinsky on the road this side of
Oregon City ar.d that the two threw
the body Into the Willamette river
from the Oregon City bridge. Theft
of the car which they wanted to use
to take girl friends out joy-riding,
he said, was the motive of the
murder.
With a tremor in his voice Moore
told at police heaquarters how the
murder had been arranged by them
as they were returning to Port
land after having lunch in a
restaurant at Oregon City. He said
that Brake told him to get out of
the machine on some errand after
they had left Oregon City and that
he would kill the driver so that they
could take the machine.
Premeditation Is Indicated.
His confession, however, indicated
that the murder had been premeditat
ed even before that time. He said
be believed that Brake carried the
license tag stolen from the wood

lieve that it was the 'license tag," he
said.
Brake, the man who was implicated
as the actual slayer by the storytohl
by Moore, continued to maintain his
innocence of any connection with the
taxi driver's death even when con-
fronted by Moore, who told the story
of the murder before him.
"I'm not ta'.kin' tonight," he re
marked nonchalantly. The police said
Brake was one of the most brazen
prisoners they ever met. He grinned

Confession Is Expected.
Inspectors, however, were confident
that Brake would "make a "clean

tonneau with the body and Brake
drove the car back to the Oregon City
bridge." '
