LONDON", July 7. Louis D. Bran
deis, associate justice of the United
States supreme court, was elected
president of the international Zionist
conference which convened today as
the first Zionist gathering In seven
years, to formulate a political pro
gramme that will be urged for Pales
tine. L)r. Max Nordau of London was
chostn honorary president.
Dr. Nahum Sokoloff of Berlin,
chairman, said the conference must
consider the question of immigra
tion and finance. lie declared:
"Although for the many massacres
in the Ukraine not heaven nor the
mercy of the angels could find pal
liation, the Jews do not cry for
vengeance, but will face the task of
restoration soberly and inoffensively.
Audirni-e KlneH Solemnly.
"Compared with these murders."
Dr. Sokoloff said. "Nebuchadnezzar
was a nobleman."
During his denunciation the audi
ence arose solemnly as an indorse
ment of his views. He urged a policy
of mutual help and solidarity toward
the Arab and Christian communities
In Palestine.
Professor Chayim Weimzann, the
noted Zionist, in his address to the
conference, made an eloquent appeal
to Jews throughout the world to co
operate with the Zionists in the re
establishment of Palestine. Profes
sor Welzmann stated that a Jewish
colonization organization already had
been formed, open to private Initia
tive, from which much might be ex
pected. He emphasized the fact that
all work in Palestine would be ef
fected in strict co-operation with the
Arabs.' The professor declared that
at least 50.000 Jewish immigrants
would be settled in Palestine during
the next 12 rrfbnths.
Kxpdnti Are Estimated,
M. Ussishkin, who headed the
Zionist commission in Palestine
during the past few months, stated
that no less than 4.000,000 would
be required for the Zionist effort in
Palestine during the first 12 months
of the new administration.
The administration Zionists will
make a united effort to have the pro
gramme adopted in Pittsburgh in
1918 accepted by the conference as
the guiding principles for Palestine.
This programme includes public own
ership of land, a co-operative com
monwealth and equal rights for ail
in every phase of life In Palestine.

WOOD'S FUND BOBS UP

the two St. Louis delegates to the
republican national convention, who
previously admitted receiving $2500
each to help Lowden's interest-!, pre
served canceled checks as proof they
had returned the money.
J. L. Babler described the dis
bursement of Feveral thousanj Col
lars and said that sums given to E.
K. K. McJimsey and Ttoscoe Patter
son of Springfield, Mo., candidates
fi.r governor and representative, re
spectively, were intended to further
the Lowden interest, but the recip
ients migiu have thought the n:oney
was for their own campaigns.
"I discussed the Lowden campa'sn
with them, though," said Babler. Mr.
Kesterson was closely questioned by
Senator Reed concerning the Tifi
Ttooscvelt fight in 1912. He said that
K. :1 Morse employed him fr J23 a
day and expent.es to boost Taft and
raid him in cash, making him in
dorse blank checks at the same time.
Wltnesa Declared Giddy."
1 received about 25 on each
check," said Kesterson, "while they
were cashed for up to $250. During
the Lowden campaign Morse gave me
$700, but I thought it was to make
up the difference between what I re
ceived and what he got on the checks
in 1912. He also gave me $100 to ad
vertise a meeting where Senator
Johnson spoke in behalf of John E.
Frost, candidate for congress."
Morse declared that Kesterson "was
giddy" and that he knew nothing of
any such checks. He presented a
batch of checks six inches high which
totaled more than $30,000 and which
represented money spent in behalf of
Governor Lowden, he said.
Other witnesses told of money re
ceived from Morse, most of them say
ing they understood it was to be
spent to elect unlnstructed delegates
who were favorable to Lowden.
John Albus of St. Joseph, Mo., ex
plained that "a popular man was
made a candidate for delegate and
that while the man chosen was favor
able to Lowden he openly was looked
upon as unlnstructed."
M. K. Rhodes filed a sworn state
ment in which he denied receiving
any money from Babler for any pur
pose while Babler testified he gave
Rhodes $200 of which $170 was re
turned. Mr. Loeb said he was called Into
conference with George A. Whalen.
Rufus Patterson, Colonel Ambrose
Monell, Zoth Freeman and others to
give his opinion as to what Wood's
campaign would cost.
"1 estimated the expense at $1,000.
000." he told the committee. Colonel
Monell underwrote $250,000. Mr.
Whalen $250,000, William Cooper
Procter $250,000, and I agreed to get
the rest."
Loeb presented checkbooks show
ing the amounts he received. A mil
lion dollars, Mr. Loeb said at one
point, is a small amount for a na
tional campaign. "I want It plainly
understood," he added, "that not a
promise was made by the general or
his friends to a single contributor."
Donation Given Church.
After Mr. Loeb was excused Jacob
L. Babler was recalled and questioned
by Senator Reed concerning confer
ences during the Lowden campaign.
Asked about a $100 item for the
"Tabernacle Baptist church in St.
Louis," Babler said there had been
some feeling against Lowden because
of the East St. Louis, 111., race riots.
"This money was to allay that feel
ing, then?" asked Senator Reed.
"I had talked with the colored mem
bers of this church," Babler said
when Senator Reed interrupted to
ask: "And you thought this $100
would add force to your argument.
It was the persuasive force of green
backs?" "1 wouldn't say that," the witness
rejoined.
Babler said he was asked to con
tribute to the church and also at the
same time discussed the campaign
with the church members.
"Then the contribution and the
campaign help you wanted were inti
mately connected?" Senator Reed
asked.
"N'o, but one followed the other."
The Item was marked "returned to
L. L. Emerson" (the Lowden campaign
manager) and Senator Reed com
mented he "supposed when the
colored brethren found out it was
political money they returned it and
washed their hands of the whole
wicked transaction."
"I suppose so," said Babler.
Colonel W. Cooper Procter of Cin
cinnati, who managed the campaign
of General Wood, said today that he
knew absolutely nothing about the
underwriting of the Wood campaign
fund for a million dollars, as he was
not present at the meeting.
PALMER'S ACTS TO BE PROBED
Inquiry Into Department Policy
Promised by Senators.
CHICAGO. July 7. The senate com
mittee investigating pre-convention
campaign expenditures plans to
"delve thoroughly into the campaign
of Attorney-General A. Mitchell
Palmer" before adjourning its hear
ings, Chairman Kenyon said tonight.
In this connection,. Edward F. Goltra
of St. Louis, democratic national
committeeman, and Joseph T. Davis,
a St. Louis lawyer, have been sub
penaed. In addition to questioning Davis
and Goltra, the committee will inves
tigate charges filed today by Will
lam Armstrong, Chicago lawyer, that
the department of justice had been
instrumental in granting pardons to
alleged criminals who' might help
politically and had blocked prosecu
tion by the government of persons
trying to gain several hundred thou
sand dollars' by illegal means.
Mr. Armstrong's documents consist
ed of a printed book of 52 pages.
Mr. Armstrong charged the depart
ment of justice with attempting "to
prevent indictments being returned
against the New York Central rail
road by a federal grand jury" and
said "a democratic member of con
gress" agreed with "a certain person
to obtain $327,178.13 from the gov
ernment on post-war claims if given
25 per cent."
Details of his charges are expected
to be brought out later.
Mr. Goltra is in San Francisco, it is
said, and may not be able to reach
here for several days. If he can get
here this week, he will appear before
the committee immediately, but if de
layed, he probably will be called at
another hearing. Senator Kenyon said.

as a class. "The national council of

ing today pledged itself to obtain for
women equal representation with
men on all programmes, boards and
committees of "all organizations in
which both men and women are ad
mitted to membership, including
especially state and national educa

There is a report current in many
association channels that leading
women members have assured Fred
M. Hunter, superintendent of schools
of Oakland, Cal., of their support for
the presidency and in return have
been assured of the backing of the
Hunter leaders for placing at least
two women in important positions In

According to this report, Olive Jones

Ohio Representative Speak.
The idea was advanced that Amer
icanization work would fall short if
it inculcated no more than loyalty
aliens and children. Useful, ef
fective citienehip, several speakers
argued, should be the aim.
Simeon D. Fess. representative in
congress from Ohio, was the principal
speaker. He declared American cit
izenship should be established "not
by law, but by education," asserting
Alexander Hamilton stood for one
great essential of citizenship, "the
preservation of the fundamentals of
government," and Thomas Jefferson
for the other, "the preservation of
liberty." He went on: "Both were
right. We must hold fast to the
fundamentals while we preserve our
liberty. While we are guaranteed
liberties we are under obligation to
respect law and government. Only by
thorough-going system of public
education . . . can we establish
American citizenship' based on the
foundation advocated . . . by Ham
ilton and Jefferson."

doing all in its power to aid in
reclamation work and under the
present system of appropriations for
that purpose it has been difficult to
accomplish all that Oregon is entitled
to, but there is no doubt the time
is not far distant when larger appro
priations will be available and devel
opment to greater extent had. It
must not be forgotten that so great
were the demands on the treasury
during the war that appropriations
for all kinds of internal improve
merits were to a large extent cur
tailed.
"One of the most important things
for the development of the state is
road construction. Some time before
adjournment I introduced a bill ex
tending the provisions of the so
called Bankhead bill. Quite extensive
hearings .have been had on thi:
measure by the committee on post
offices and postroads, but I am hope
ful that when congress reconvenes
favorable consideration may be given
to it. The states are coming to real
ize that for every mile of good road
built its cost has added to the value
to that extent to adjacent territory.
In addition to that, properly con
structed roads and the use of trucks
not only bring the market closer to
the producer, thus adding to the
value of his product, but tend to
solve the congested freight situation.
Veterans Hela Remembered.
. "Congress has not forgotten either
the veterans of other wars or those
of the world war. The young men of
Oregon in this last great war proved
themselves to be worthy scions of
noble sires. They fought a splendid
fight, and besides winning for them
selves an imperishable place on the
scroll of fame, gave Oregon a place
in the annals of trro world.
"There are many matters of legis
lation affecting the state which I will
discuss at some later date as oppor
tunity affords, but this brief state
cent is intended mainly to let the
people of this splendid state know
how delighted I am to be back
amongst them once more."

is very limited, and that for these
reasons there will not be any con
siderable trade, if any, with Russia,
this government, however, docs not
feel that the law-abiding people in
Russia should be deprived of any
assistance which can be derived from
such trading as may be possible. The
attitude of the' United States toward
the recognition of any faction in
control of soviet Russia has not
changed. This government is not
willing by means of political recog
nition to lend positive assistance to a
faction whose disregard of the prin
ciples of democracy is evidenced at
home by the maintenance of a minor
ity despotism, and abroad by an in
sidious campaign of propaganda to
subvert popular governmental insti
tutions expressive of the will of the
majority."
Traffic Long Limited.
Trade between the United States
and Russia has been prohibited since
the bolshevik! gained control in that
country a year before the end of the
world war. Even before that time it
had been limited because of the de
moralized condition of the Russian
railroads. Some exports, mostly war
material, had been sent to Vladivo
stok and Archangel, but much of it
never was moved to the interior.
Requests that the state department
lift the ban on trading with the soviet
authorities have been made by many
American exporting and other busi
ness firms and American government
officials long have desire to remove
the restrictions so that the suffering
people might be aided In spite of the
bolsheviki. Fears had been voiced.

country for that population would be

The Clothing
Situation
So many of our patrons ask,
"When are prices to come
down?" that we feel it ad
visable to give such' inf orma
tion as we have at our com
mand. The price-cutting hysteria
begun in New York in May,
was merely the surface
"fright" caused by restricted
bank loans in the big money
centers, and in no sense did it
represent a reduction in man
ufacturing costs.
Clothing costs for next fall
delivery are a trifle in excess
of those of last season, and
just so long as a scarcity of
labor exists in the eastern
woolen mills and in the tailor
shops, just so long will the
present level of prices exist.
Labor represents 809o of
the cost of a suit and whether
wool is 75c or 40c per pound,
the cost of the three pounds
of wool necessary to produce
a suit makes but little differ
ence to the consumer in the
price of his suit.
From the best advices ob
tainable it would seem that
no further advances in the
costs of wearing apparel will
be made that the peak has
been reached and while pre
war prices will not be seen
in this generation, a gradual
and slow recession of prices
will take place.

Our Advice:
We advise our patrons to
buy only for their immedi
ate needs.
Clothing prices quoted in
this advertisement are, of
course, only temporary.
We are strong believers in
starting each season with
new unbroken lines of mer
chandise and this sale is in
accordance with this policy.
Then, too, in these days of
high interest rates, to say
nothing of the fact that all
lines of business require
larger capital because of
higher costs of merchandise,
wc are frank to say that the
cash in our bank looks better
to us than a large stock of
clothing on our racks.
Consequently, regardless of
the fact that we could not
replace our merchandise at
previous costs, we believe it
good business policy to hold
a reduction sale at this time.
series of rulings amending its pre
vious trade reculations to make them
conform with the department's policy
as to soviet Russia.
Export Licenses Required.
Under these rulings individual ex
port licenses would be necessary for
the shipment to Hungary, Austria,
Bulgaria or Turkey of any materials
susceptible of immediate use for war
purposes. Such materials include lo
comotives, railroad rolling stock and
motor cars. It is also provided that
materials imported into this country
may be exported to Russia or any
other country without individual
license when . they are conveyed in
transit through the territory or via
any port of the United States. The
same exceptions are made as to the
shipment of war materials to Russia
and the other four countries as is
made with Russia to such materials
originating in the United States.
The board also amended its gen
eral trade license so as to authorize
all persons In the United States to
trade and communicate with all per
sons with whom trade and communi
cation were prohibited by the trad-ing-with-the-enemy
act, subject, how
ever, to the limitations on trade in
war materials and property which
has been seized by the alien property
custodian or which has been reported
to him as enemy property.
