TTIE HORNING OHEGONIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 20, 1920 FUSION S ARGUED BY LIBERALS AT Y KIM Committees From Several Conventions Take Part. NIGHT SESSION IS HELD decrease in slaughter Indicates that as a result of these losses, some producers have cut their herds and may restrict production. Such a sit uation would be an economic mis fortune. Past experience has been normally that higher prices for meat animals, and hence for meat, have fol lowed restricted production, after which the consumer again restricted consumption." Cattle prices in May, the statement added, were "down near the level pre vailing: when the United States en tered the war" but in June the aver age price in Chicago of $14.95 for native beef steers "was, with excep tion of June, 1918. the highest June average on record." Fluctuations in receipts during; the two months were said to have caused the changes. Non-Partisans. Triple Alliance and Railway Men's Welfare league Represented. YAKIMA. Wash., July 19. Whether or- not the triple, alliance Railway Men's Welfare league, non-partisan league and other organizations rep resented in conventions which began here today shall go into the primaries of the old parties and endeavor to control their nominations was one of the important questions under con sideration tonight by a Joint meeting of conference committees of the va rious organizations, according to statements by leaders of the domi nant groups. Sentiment in favor of this course, it was said, was strong. Legal ques tions that might arise from such a course were, in fact, submitted to a separate committee, composed of law yers, who tonight were preparing a report for submission to the conven tions tomorrow. Third Ticket Considered. Other matters under consideration by the general conference committee, looking toward fusion, were a state ment of principles upon which all the conventions were expected to agree, and the question of nominating a third party ticket. That a third ticket would be named was declared likely, but it was explained that such action would not preclude the pro gramme of participation in old party primaries. Expectation of agreement upon a fusion programme was strengthened today by elimination of three of the minor groups represented here, so far as present action was concerned, thus reducing the number of groups to be reckoned with from seven to four. Activities to Be Merged. The workers' non-partisan league for the present movement agreed to merge its activities with those of the railway men's welfare league. The private soldiers' and sailors' league also will follow the lead of the larg er organizations. The non-partisan league during the dinner recess reconsidered its deter mination to hold aloof from the other organizations and was represented by its conference committee when the meeting of committees from all the vaTtous organizations ' assembled to night in the Donnelly hotel to thresh out differences and if possible arrive at -an agreement upon the mtehod of procedure. The meeting was held Sehind closed doors and precautions were taken to prevent information of its proceedings from becoming known outside of the committee room. The understanding in well-informed convention circles as the Joint com mittee meeting began was that the triple alliance, railway men's welfare league and the committee of 48 had reached a more or less definite agree ment to work together to obtain, if possible, a common platform and nom inate congressional and stats tickets Kon-PartlMB Stand tRnored. Tt was declared that these organ izations, particularly the alliance and railway men, were able to domina any fusion effort and that they ha determined to go ahead regardless o assent or refusal on the part of the non-nartisan league. The minor or ganizations represented in the gath erings here were ready, apparently to join in any programme on which the alliance and railway men were likely to agree. While the leaders were laying stress upon the necessity of agreement upon a platform, the question of candidates for the more important state offices and congressional and senatorial places furnished the real motive for most of the strategic moves. It was thought possible that the action of the conference committee would throw light upon th;s aspect of the struggle. LONG LOST E1RL RETURNS GOLDEN-HAIRED CIRCUS RID ER ABSENT 18 YEARS. Virginia Mystery Solved AVlien Sea Lion Trainer's Wife Troves Identity. DELEGATES ELECTED DY PORTLAND LEGION Biggest Vote Is Polled by Adjutant-General White. STATE CONVENTION GOAL RICHMOND, Vs., July 19. (Spe cial.) After years of fruitless search by relatives and having thousands of dollars spent in a world-wide hunt for her, Luna Virginia Joyner, beau tiful, golden haired, blue-eyed girl who mysteriously disappeared 18 years ago, has returned to her rela tives at Blackstone, Va. She spent years trying to locate them while she was doing feature riding for a circus. The little girl, whose home was near Churchill, Dinwiddle county, suddenly disappeared and was thought to have strayed into the miles of woods and swamps called Hurricane branch. Bloodhounds were put on the trail and the fact 'was. established that she had been etolen. The search was kept up for months and years without results. After she had been gone eight months her mother died of a broken heart. It was thought that a negro woman had stolen the child and sold her to gypsies. About seven years ago a northern woman heard of the case, became interested and spent thousands of dollars trying to locate the girl. making the search world-wide. No results came of this effort. January 18, Chief of Police Sherry, head of the Richmond police force, received a letter from Mrs. Zella Earl Pickard. 76 Franklin street, Tona wanda. N. Y., asking that they give her any information they could about the case. In her letter Mrs. Pickard says, I was brought up by a woman circus rider and up to eight years ago thought she was my mother. . After she told me she was not I left her. I have often asked her who my par ents were but she never told me." Chief Sherry, knowing of the case in Churchill, sent the letter to the newspapers and through them located a brother and sister of the missing girl. They became interested in the matter and arranged to meet the woman who thought she was Luna Joyner. Mrs. Pickard came from New Tork to Blackstone, where her sister was living, and has proven her identity. It appears that as a child she was taken north and there turned over to a show woman and taught to be a performer. At one time she was feature rider with the Robinson circus. While a rider she met W. T. Pick ard. famous as a sea-lion trainer, and after a courtship they were married. Mrs. Pickard is a beautiful woman nd has two golden haired children. one of. whom (s almost a perfect image of Luna Joyner before she was stolen. 23 Representatives Chosen Ses sion Storm Breaks Over Motion to Let Guardsmen Vote.

Though a motion to permit national guardsmen in encampment at Camp Lewis, who were members of Portland post, to vote in the election by mail went over without a dissenting vote early in the evening, later reflection caused a motion for reconsideration of the question on the grounds that it was an attempt of a military clique n the post to gain control of the del egation. A stormy contest arose, in which the former motion was sustained at last by a rising vote of 58 to 27. The Camp Lewis votes must be received today to be valid.

He went to the home he had fitted up for her and she in sisted upon talking it all over his announced decision that he intended to return to his wife and family and end the dual existence. She appeared reconciled to this and he retired for the night in a rear room. "She came into my room, I think it was about 6 o'clock," said Jonas, "and sat on the side of the bed and then the pistol went off. I remember only one shot. I was blinded and dizzy." That Miss Meglitsch had . carefully planned the destruction of Jonas and herself was evidenced by letters read by the coroner. These last thoughts of the desperate girl revealed that, her final days were divided in solici tude for the man she-sought to kill and her mother. Jonas' wije has forgiven him.

Mrs. Pansy Iee '.Recuses Mate of ; Desertion and Expresses De- . fcire to Get Divorce. Buenos Aires Newspaper Says Pro nouncement of Self-Determination Starts Strife. BUENOS AIRES. July 19. The Bo livian revolution and the renewal since the close of the war of terri torial controversies involving Bolivia, Peru and Chile are attributed in part by La Prensa to President "Wilson's pronouncements for the protection of weak nations and the rights of self-determination. 'Those ideals in this respect," it says, 'are in part the cause of the grave events which have developed on the Pacific coast since the appearance of the project that the league of na tions settle the quarrels which the so- called weak states submit to it. . President Wilson's attitude, con tinues the paper, has revived the na tional aspirations of Peru and Bolivia, the former seeking support of the president and the league of nations in a settlement of the ancient Tacna Arica controversy with Chile by send ing a mission to Washington; the lat ter seeding realization of access to the Pacific by sending General Montes to Paris to ask the league of nations to adjudicate on the matter of an exit through, the Tacna-Arica littoral. La. Prensa points out that an oppo sition existed in Bolivia which was opposed to the Arica outlet and agi tated for the recovery from Chile of the port of Antofagasta, lost In the war. It describes how Chile reached an agreement with Bolivia so that Bo livia would have access through Arica in return for its support, definitely concluding the Tacna-Arica contro versy and renunciation of the Anto fagasta aspirations.

The YtOR GRL'S IPPETITE If any western cherry-growers had profiteering ambitions they were doomed to disappointment through measures taken by the federal reserve banks in their effort to stem the soaring prices of manufactured com- ys VV. H. Paulhamus, the Puallup & Sumner Growers' Canning com pany, who was in Portland yesterday. In their efforts to reduce the high cost of living the federal reserve banks decided some time ago that no n.ore credit should be extended on securities which did not mature rap idly, said Mr. Polhamus. This policy, applied to the canning industry, resulted in a lowering of the price of cherries this spring. When we went to the banks for credit to carry us over me, peak. load,' or the highest point in our nroduc.tion tht banks asked us how much of the fruit we were planning to pack had been sold in advance, and credit was extended to us only up to that amount and no more. Mr. Polhamus believes that the ac tion of the federal reserve banks had the further result of lowering the price of sugar from 30 cents to 23 or 24 cents. Banks have refused further loans on this commodity, he declared. SIX OF FLEET. COMING Several Hundred Midshipmen to Visit Coast on July 2 9. SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.
