Former Secretary of Treasury Will
Read Newspapers to Learn of
Outcome of Convention.
HUNTINGTON". N. Y.. June 28. ;
"William G. McAdoo informed a news- j
paperman with whom he consented to ,
talk at his country home here tonight
that he does not want to be "bothered" .
about politics.
He refused absolutely to discuss the
democratic national convention or the
statement of Thomas B. Love, na
tional committeeman from Texas, that
he would not. refuse the presidential
nomination if the convention tendered
It.
The newspaperman was stopped" by
a watchman who forbade entrance to
the grounds but he was induced to
communicate with Mr. .McAdoo, wrio
appeared shortly after.
"Now what is on your mind?" Mr. '
McAdoo asked.
The caller explained he desired to
discuss the democratic convention and
the question of whether Mr. McAdoo
would accept the nomination, where
upon McAdoo stated he would have
nothing to say on these subjects lor
publication.
The former secretary of the treas
ury said he had no means of commu
nication with the convention and that
he preferred to "learn of its activities
through the newspapers, like any
other interested citizen."
He declined the reporters offer to
keep him informed of convention de
velopments, declaring he preferred
rot to have the privacy of his home
Invaded.
"Should a very important develop
ment take place at San Francisco,
may I communicate with you?" the
Interviewer asked.
"No, thank you. I would not
answer the phone."
The reporter then volunteered to
bring the message, and Mr. McAdoo
declined the offer.

'I Legislature to Be Asked for De
partment of Conciliation to Set-
:.-"A
tie Disputes of Labor.
SPOKANE, Wash., Jpne 28. (Spe
cial.) At the final session and elec
tion of officers of the Washington
State Council of Carpenters Saturday,
retiring President Charles Evans of
Seattle flayed the I. W. W.
The most important recommenda
tion, perhaps, is that the next legis
lature will be asked to call a conven
tion in 1921 to revise the state consti
tution to provide for a "more
economical, responsible and popular
state government," and to provide a
more equitable system of taxation by
laying a greater burden on "idle
lands, excess profits and surplus
wealth," and exempting from taxation,
farm improvements and city homes.
Another demand is that the next
legislature shall create a state indus
trial department by consolidating the
state labor commisson, the state in
dustrial, insurance commission, the
state first aid board, the state safety
board and the industrial and welfare
commission, all of which bodies now
deal with matters in which labor is
directly interested.
The new department, it is proposed,
shall create a department of concilia
tion and mediation for the settlement
of labor disputes, recognizing labor
unions and employers' organizations
as the representatives of the two ele
ments in all industrial strife and prtf
viding that boardscomposed of equal
numbers of organized workers and or
ganized employers shall be appointed
to attempt to adjust industrial dis
putes. Home rulo for all cities and
.the abolition of the present state pub
Vlic service commission is another de
mand to be made on the legslature.
BOY OF ID IS
JAPANESE CHILD BUILDS BOAT
THAT RCXS BY STEAM.
During War Jiinmic Ohy Jid With
out Luncheon for Month to Help
Swell Red Cross Fund.
SEATTLE. Wash.. June 2S. (Spe
cial.) A steamboat that "runs, is the
most recent accomplishment of Jim
mie Ohy. 10-year-old Japanese boy,
who lives with his parents over the
White House grocery on East Lake
avenue.
Jimmie became famous in Seattle
during the war. His teacher told him
about the American Red Cross and
what it was doing for wounded sol
diers at the battle fronts. One month
later the teacher was presented with
a well-filled tin box from Jimmie.
The box was crammed with nickels
and pennies.
The teacher made inquiries and
discovered that for a whole month
Jimmie's little stomach stayed empty
around the noon hour in order that
he might contribute his mite for the
Red Cross. Jimmie didn't even tell
his parents of his plan to raise money.
He "enjoyed" his hunger secretly. In
his 8-year-old mind he considered
lunchless days a duty and he per
formed it well.
Now comes the second big event in
Jimmie's life, his invention of a
steamship. While it is true that his
father, Senshi Ohy, helped him, the
actual planning and work was done
by the child. He rigged up a boiler
out of a piece of pipe, obtained an
alcohol lamp, thus arranging for the
development of steam. Jimmie took
his steamer out to Green lake three
or four times a week. He is not
claiming a monopoly on the invention
and dozens of Seattle boys have taken
notes and are now building sure
enough steamboats. Jimmie's boat
runs for 15 minutes wltnout 6topping.
the qualification of citizenship, Attorney-General
Thompson ruled in an
opinion transmitted to Governor Hart
relative to the application of Norman
W. Wilson of Seattle for a commission
as notary. .
Wilson was born in Canada. His
parents were British subjects and al
though they moved to this country
when he was five years of age,
neither he nor they were ever natur
alized. Wilson served, in the United
States army during the Spanish
American war and with ther British
army in the late war. He . has an
honorable discharge from service in
both. !
UNDESIRABLE ON WAY
Annoycr of Little Girls Declared
Bound for Portland.
SALEM, Or., June 28. (Special.)
Milton Schwartz, who was recently
released by the New York courts on
the promise of relatives that he
would be taken to Oregon, left the
eastern city for Portland on June 17,
according to a telegram received at
the executive offices here today from
Charles Johnson Tost. Mr. Post is a
New York newspaperman and his
daughter was one of the children at
tacked by the degenerate prior to
his arrest.
The telegram from Mr. Post said
Schwartz was accompanied west by
his mother, Mrs. Addie Schwartz, and
his uncle. Max G. Cohen, and that
they intended to locate on a ranch
near Portland. The governor also
was advised by Mr. Post that the
people of New York have no sym
pathy for the judge who released
Schwartz. for the reason that
Schwartz is considered a dangerous
character and should have been com
mitted to an asylum.

VANCOUVER RATjONS FUEL
Gasoline Shortage Due to Continue
Until September.
VANCOUVER, Wash., June 28.
(Special.) The ' gasoline shortage,
which was forgotten ast week during
the Shriners' convention, again looms
up as an unpleasant memory of the
past and a present reality.
The Standard Oil filling stations
have gone back to filling the pleasure
cars to 25 per cent of their tank
capacity and trucks to 75 per cent of
their full amount. The independent
stations are doing the best they can
under the circumstances, but their
allotments have been cut down to
only a fraction of their usual amounts
and their supply is exhausted long be--fore
the day is done.
Indications are that this condition
will prevail until almost September 1.
SHRINER TELLS OF TRIP
Portland Hospitable, But Bandits
Encountered on Road. -
SEATTLE. Wash., June 28. (Spe
cial.) Dr. H. J. Coventry, of 2523
Fairview avenue, is home from the
Shriners' convention and loud in his
praise of Portland.
Some one appropriated a silk fiag
from a flagpole staff in front of his
home while he was away.. He
wouldn't mind so much if he were
sure a patriot had yielded to the im
pulse to acquire the beautiful banner,
but he's afraid maybe some bolshevist
got-it.
And he tells of profiteering that
would make a shoe dealer blush. A
few farmers on the road to Portland
maintain water holes in front of their
places and charge $10 for hauling an
automobile through the mire, he says.
They see that the water hole 'doesn't
dry up.
Another ruse was to keep the gates
closed along detour roads, a 50 cent
charge being-levied f or- open-ingr tnem
After encountering wretched detour
roads and profiteers on the way
down, the doctor stuck to . the main
line coming back and found the roa.4
good and not infested by bandits, he
reports.

MAC AD A3! TO BE USED
CLARKES HIGHWAY.
ON
One Man in District Refuses to
Sign Petition for Hard-Surfacing
Materials.
OREGON CITY, Or., June 28. (Spe
cial.) The ghost of a hard-surfaced
road came into being here, today at
the monthly meeting of the Clackamas
County Development league, when it
was announced that the road im
provement' for the bonded highway
in the Clarkes district would consist
of macadam, as the stiff grades on
the road made paving impracticable.
Statements and counter-statements
were hurled for nearly five hours.
County Judge Anderson explained
that that the macadam road had been
authorized in response to a petition
that only one man in the district had
refused to sign. -
The league went on record, by a
vote of 56 to 17, in favor of carrying
out the original programme outlined
by the $1,700,000 bonds for permanent
roads, and declared in favor of the
principle that permanent roads mean
pavement and not a substitute.
C: Schuebel's motion that the cost
of surfacing over and above $11,000,
per mile appropriated under the bond
issue be 'borne by the districts af
fected was lost by a vote of 43 to 56,
and a motion by C. K. Spence express
ing the league's confidence in the
county court's carrying out the bond
ing programme to the best of their
ability was sustained by a unanimous
vote.
The meeting today was the result
of a verbal upheaval at the last meet
ing of the league at Estacada. nearly
two months ago, when the resignation
of Roadmaster Rands was used as a
vehicle for criticism of the court.

Mayor Baker's Absence From Port
land and 'Charter Ruling
Necessitates .Procedure.
City Commissioner Bigelow elected
himself president of the city council
of Portland. He did it at a special
meeting of the council held late yes
terday afternoon.
Commissioner Bigelow has been
president of the council for four years
but it seems that when he took of
fice following his last election he was
not duly elected to serve as presi
dent of the council. In fact, nobody
happened to think that such formal
ities were necessary.
But prospective bond buyers raised
a question when. In the absence or
Mayor Baker, Acting Mayor Bigelow
began signing bonds.
To remove any doubt, a resolution
was prepared by City Attorney La
Roohe and passed by he city council
naming C. A.- Bigelow as president of
the council. Then came a motion by
Commissioner Barbur and secondd
by Commissioner Mann, that Bigelow
be elected to the high office.
Under the existing city charter all
matters brought before the city
council without notation on the coun
cil calendar must receive four votes
before it is ratified. Mayor Baker
is absent from the city and "hence it
was necessary for Commissioner Big
elow to cast the fourth vote in favor
of himself as president of the coun
cil. Two Portland Men Arrested.
OREGON CITY, Or., June 28. (Spe
cial.) Too much wine Saturday night
