turns of Klection.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. (Spe
cial.) John L,. Schuyleman, contest
ing the seat of R. R. Turner as dele
gate-at-large from Oregon, won :
half-victory. The credentials commit
tee decided early this morning that
Mr. Schuy leman. having received such
a large vote in the Oregon primaries,
was entitled to some recognition.
He was accordingly allowed a half
vote In the convention.
Mr. Turner, who was selected by
the Oregon democratic state central
committee, retains a half vote. It
could not be learned today whether
Mr. Schuyleman will insist on voting
for President Wilson for a third term
as he promised in his primary plat
form.
This was the only case In which
the credentials committee overthrew
a decision of fhe national committee.

Judge Robert Tucker of the circuit
court of Multnomah county was re
versed.

SCHUVLKMAX WIRES FOR LAW
Oregon Democrat Told Only Hope
Is at San Francisco.
SALEM, Or.. June 29. (Special.)
Governor Olcott last night received
telegram from J. I Schuyleman under
San Francisco date asking the execu
tive to send to him at that city copies
of the Oregon laws relating to fill
ing of vacancies in the ranks of dele
gates elected to attend the national
conventions of political parties.
The governor today advised Mr.
Schuyleman that he had been unable
to find any law covering the ques
tion submitted, but that a legal
opinion given recently by the attorney-general
probably would be ac
ceptable. In this opinion it was held
that there was no statute under which
a delegate's commission could be
issued to Mr. Schuyleman, but that
the latter had the option of present
ing his case before the lawful rep
resentatives of the" democratic party.
This was taken to mean by local
politicians that Mr. Schuyleman's only
relief would be found before either
the democratic state central com
mittee or democratic national committee.

COX KEEPS GOING BEHIND
CtlURT CLOSES TO ALIENS
DISTRICT JUDGES ALOXE TO
HEAR CITIZEX PETITIONS.
Circuit Tribunal Will Receive
Pleas Vp to July 31; Order
Affects Only Portland.
SMALL GARDENS WANTED
COMMISSH1XER BARBUR HAS
SLOGAN FOR PORTLAND.
At the suggestion of the federal
bureau of naturalization, Presiding
Circuit Judge McCourt yesterday
signed an order directing the clerk
of the circuit court to receive no more
petitions for naturalization of aliens
on or after August 1, the court thus
relinquishing all Jurisdiction in sucn
matters.
The hearing of all such matters in
the United States district court will
save labor, reduce expense and facili
tate the naturalization work, it is
pointed out in the order prepared. At
present the hearings are given' both
in federal and state court in Mult
nomah county, resulting in consider
able duplication of records and un
necessary work.
The order applies only to the Sult
ncmah county circuit court, not to
other circuit courts throughout the
state. To compel all naturalization
petitions to be heard in a federal
court would cause a great hardship in
outlying districts, where state courts
continue to handle the work without
duplication. The only reason for the
change in Portland is to do away
with identical processes in two dif
ferent courts, consolidating the na
turalization work in the federal court.
The circuit judge informally agreed
unanimously, at a recent meeting to
the action formally recorded yester
day.
As petitions may be filed in the cir
cuit court up to and including July
31. Hearings may continue for six
months after the court refuses to
allow further petitions to be filed, but
after that time all hearings will be
in the United States district court.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. (Spe
cial.) Without attempting to enter
into the field of prediction at all, and
subject to changing conditions from
day to day. It is possible to make sev
eral detached observations .about
which there can be little doubt. These
observations do not point'necessarily
toward any one candidate, and do not
even necessarily exclude the possibil
ity or any one candidate.
Palmer is not aa strong in relation
to the convention as a whole as he
was some days, or even some weeks
ago. Palmer following is composed
too strongly of beneficiaries of pat
ronage to be dependable. As someone
expressed it. Palmer has more dele
gates than anybody else, but too many
of them are of the kind who-explain
by. saying, "I am for Palmer, but "
Delegate Watch Two-third Rule. -
As it has been expressed elsewhere,
there are a lot of delegates who will
vote for Palmer "with one eye on the
two-thirds rule," meaning that if
Palmer should begin to approach the
two-thirds necessary to nominate,
these delegates will desert him. The
backbone of the Palmer management
and of ih'a Palmar following among
state leaders is composed of men
who have been the beneficiaries of his
patronage either as attorney-general
as alien property custodian.

Be Asked to Launch Cam

Every vacant lot a garden in 1921.
This is the slogan -which City Com
missioner Barbur urges Portland to
adopt. Civic clubs and organizations
will be asked to launch a campaign
next winter to educate residents of
Portland to the value of utilizing all
vacant property for food production.
"During the war, gardens in vacant
lots were to be found everywhere
necessity 01 rurnisning our allies, our
armies and ourselves with food, forced
the American people to curtail waste
of foodstuffs and enter into the pro
duction of vegetables and garden
truck. said Commissioner Barbur.
Commissioner Barour believes that
a person living in a three-room house,
which he owns, is a better citizen
than one who rents a ten-room house.
The small home campaign is now
being waged in earnest. Amendments
of the housing, building and plumb
ing code have been effected to uer
mit modifications for the small home
owners. Plans for homes together
with specifications have been pre
pared and can be obtained in the

DIVORCES GIVEN 'BOTH
Vancouver Judge Awards Decree to
Each Side in Suit.
VANCOUVER. Wash., June 2f.
ifcpeciai.j . contested divorce case
was settled here today by Judge
George D. Abel of Tacoma, sitting
for Judge R., H. Back of the superior
court of Clarke county, by giving de
crees to both parties.
Mrs. Catherine Thiedemann sued
Julius Thiedemann for divorce, allec
ing that she could not get along with
his five children by a former mar
riage. She herself had three children
by a former marriage. The couple
were married June 12, 1919, and she
left him November 14, the same year,
and failed to return.
Mr. Thiedemann denied all of the
allegations and asked for the decree.
Temporary alimony of $25 a month
was allowed up to the time the de
cree was granted.
DOCTOR IN AUTO
Walter Anderson "Hard-Boiled,"
Traffic Officer Tells' Court.
Dr. Walter Anderson was "hard-
boiled" when approached by county
traffic officers at Multnomah, falls,
testified Deputy Sheriffs Taylor and
Weaver in the court of District Judge
Hawkins yesterday. He had taken
some Shriners out the Columbia high
way and refused to move his car when
it blocked traffic Irom the talis to
the bridge, they reported.
That he was very overbearing in
his manner, and when he did move his
car parked it on the pavement in
defiance of the directions of the dep
uties, for which he was arrested,
were the assertions of the officers.
The officers further declared that Dr.
Anderson told them it mattered not
how many notices he was served with
he would not appear in court Monday.
He explained to the court that an im
portant operation prevented his ap
pearance then.
A fine of 10 was levied.

COUPLE SHUNS PUBLICITY
Brlde-to-Be Takes Future Mate
Where Licenses Are Kept Secret.
VANCOUVER. Wash., June 29.
(Special.) Because the county audi
tor was unable to keep- their names
from the newspapers here today, a
couple, accompanied by a witness and
wishing to be wed Immediately, left
- his office in a huff and are now seek
ing some quiet spot in Oregon where
friends or enemies will never learn
of tne marriage.
The bride-to-be demurred when the
auditor told the excited bridegroom
that the press was entitled to the
names of all persons obtaining a li
cense and in an authoritative and
businesslike manner, after pocketing
her future husband's honeymoon roll,
ushered him out of the office and
presumably out of town in search of
a license elsewhere.

J-almer s office as alien property cus

Practically all these appointments

tion that the cod man must also be
a democrat. The nature of the work

tive,
are
to his campaign. It is not the kind of
support that makes a strong backing
or tends to get new adherents from
among the independent delegates. The
consequence is that in the universal
opinion of obsrvers his strength does
not grow. '
Cox Falling: Behind.
Ccx, alo, has measurably fallen be
hind during the past week. He has
HIMhU Pletely identified with the wet advo
cates. The result has been to solidify
the dry elements against him, and It
is fairly certain that there will al
ways be more than enough delegates
implacably opposed to Cox on grounds
of prohibition than are necessary to
maintain that one-third of the con
vention which can always prevent a
nomination.
The third of the three leaders is
McAdoo. By this time, although Mc-
Adoo is given complete credit for
?ood faith in his withdrawal, that
withdrawal is entirely ignored by the
leaders and delegates who are fori
him. McAdoo's' strength comes largely 1
rrom those delegates who sincerely
believe that lie is better Known and j
more favorab.v known to democratic
voters throughout the country than
the ethers, and who believe that as
head of the ticket he would be the
best vote setter of all. In addition
to this, he has the backing of several
Important members of the administration.
President Not Interfering.
This, however, is short of saying
that" McAdoo has the backing of the
president. Tho widespread headlines
which represent Wilson as trying to
fon.e McAdoo on the convention are
as far as possible from the facts. It is
true that some members of the cab-
ret and others identified with the
administration ere backing- him. but
the truth is they are doing it with a
good deal of apprehension of incur
ring the president's displeasure.
If, as is entirely possible, the con
vention gets into a Jain where the
president io appealed to for a solution.
it is fairly safe to predict that he will
not favor .MiAdoo. The exact facts
about the relation of Wilson and Mc
Adoo to each other as respects this
nomination, and about the relation of
each of them to the next four years
in the White House, are too complex
to be set dawn here. Possibly they
are too personal and intimate to be
set down at any time. But the net of
that complex set of facts is that Mr.
Wilson at this moment is much more
nearly standing in the way of Mc
Atioo s nomination than giving any
aid to it.
Mctdw Strona-est of All.
At this moment MoAdoo, although
lii.i full strength may not be shown in
the earlier balloting, is markedly
stronger than either of the other two
men. . Whether he can be named is
another matter. It must always be
lemembered that in democratic con
ventions it uxes two-tnirrts to nom
inate. Another way of expressing
this s that one-third of the con'ven
tion can always pievent the nomina
tion of any one man. That is to say,
366 delegates, held compactly to
gether, can prevent any one man from
setting the prize.
Where you have such a situation as
this now is, with three contenders
ioughly equal in strength, there is
always a tendency' for the two in
the " rear to make common cause
against the one who approaches win
ning. As the race nears the finish a
strong feeling is apt to be developed
and the man who leaps forward in the
s some risk, of failing within
the coal by the implacable
quality developed among his oppo
nents through the excitement of the
race.
If some such equilibrium as this
should be established, it seems to your
correspondent .ikely that Wiaon
would be appealed to, to choose some
one from amongr the minor contenders
or the dark horses.

Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in
Merchandise Said to Be Tied

WASHINGTON", June 29. Opera
tion of the railroads of the country
"as a unit" as a means- of relieving
the present transportation difficul
ties was suggested today by William
B. colver of the federal trade com
mission, in an address before the
Washington Ad club. Mr. Colver pre
dicted that a continuation of the
present situation would mean "untold
sufering and industrial shutdowns
next winter." Hundreds of millions
of dollars are tied up now in mer
chandise in sidetracked cars, he said
Only one-tenth of the needed coal
for next winter's supply has been
moved to the head of the lakes, Mr.
Colver said, while the industries in
New England are actually closing
down now for lack of coal. Farmers
also are unable to 'obtain cars to
move the residue of last year's wheat
crop at a time when the new crop
is coming to harvest. Already, he
declared, there are predictions of $25
flour and 25-cent bread.
Mr. Colver declared the roads were
unable to get coal cars to the mines,
with a result that this month coal
production is far below normal, and
miners are seeing their "families go
hungry."
When operated separately, Mr. Col
ver declared, even the largest rail
road cannot operate profitably and
at reasonable rates.

Community Prosperity
Thru Home Industry
The Ladd & Tilton Bank believes firmly in
loyal support of home industries, because
in them is laid the foundation for perma
nent community prosperity.
The more staunchly the residents of a com
munity stand behind local products, making
use of them wherever possible, and recom
mending them to others, the larger will be
the payrolls, and the greater the capital in
vested in manufacturing interests.
Often lack of patronage of home industries
is due not to indifference, but to ignorance.
People are unfamiliar with the names of
local firms, and the trade names of their
products.
With that in mind, the Ladd & Tilton Bank
is issuing a new series of advertisements,
this being the introductory one, to acquaint
Portland people with local goods.
Watch for these advertisements, one of
which will appear weekly, clip them out,
and ask by name for Portland goods.
