AMERICAN SLOOP LEADS Irish Crart Takes Advantage or Soft Spot and Edges Half Mile Ahead After Start. SANDY HOOK, N. J.. July 20. Sir Thomas Upton tonight was nearer . achieving the confessed ambition of his life lifting the America's cup. Today his "Irish sweetheart." Shamrock IV. ran up a tally of two races to none against the American defender Resolute, winning in a neck-to-neck contest by two minutes and 26 seconds, corrected time, needing but one more victory to bear the bottomless pewter mug back to Ene land. There were cheers on Sir Thomas' eteam yacht Victoria when Shamrock BwcDt first across the line today, but there was a hush when her crew worked feverishly to free a jib top sail that fouled within the first few seconds of the contest. This fouling permitted Resolute to glide into the lead. Resolute Leads at Start. For part of the first leg, the American sloop kept to the fore, but when she hit a soft 6pot the Irish craft slipped again into first place, edging along until she was half i mile ahead. To the surprise of yacht inc experts, a fancy little staysail rigged on the challenger served her better than Resolute's big ballooner. Spectator craft grouped at the first turn greeted Shamrock with tooting whistles as she rounded 600 yards In the lead. Away on the second leg they sped, with the challenger catch ing every catspaw and Resolute rolling in tiia doldrums. Captain William P. Burton, who it was re ported might be removed from com mand of Shamrock because of his showing in other races, was evlc'-ntly making every effort to st-ige a come back. Resolute made a bra.e showing a the beginning of the third leg and picking up at the turn fought her way home under the guidance, of Cap tain Charles Francis Adams II, dis puting every second. But it was no uso and by the time Shamrock had crossed the line it was certain that the had . won by a safe though nar row margin. Wind Delays Gun. The regatta committee at noon to day hesitated 15 minutes end then de cided that the westerly breeze would hold and hoisted the signals for a reach south-southeast, a beat about west and another reach northeast-by-north. The fight for position was rather dull, as Skipper Adams allowed Sham rock to cross 3S seconds ahead, which extended Resolute's time with her time allowance at the finish to seven minutes and 39 seconds. It looked like a very liberal margin for the defender but it was found to be too email to give her the race. The first 15 minutes were featured by bungling sail-handling on Sham rock. The balloon jib refused to break out and finally when yanked it fouled around the stay. Then spinnaker and two or three hcadsails were set and tcken In. During these experiences Resolute walked right into the lead and it looked like a rep etition of Saturday's contest. Defender Pulls Ahead. Finally Burton settled down on a No. 1 jib topsail and a little trisall which looked like a down-east fish erman's main topsail, set on a stay from the end of the bowsprit to ten feet below the cross trees. There was a big space between the two sails and as Resolute was streaking it along under ballooner only, the defender drew out until she was more than half a mile ahead. Then the wind became fickle. Sham rock had been worked out to wind ward, found the edge of the breeze Just as Resolute did when she sained such a ead last Saturday. Nursing the draft of air. Burton ran by Resolute so fast that it looked as if the defender had dropped her anchor. In 15 minutes the challenger was half a mile to the good. -This practically settled the race. Although Captain Adams handled Resolute wonderfully well, the drafts of air shunned her almost completely. Shamrock turned the first mark three minutes and a half in the lead and 'at once picked up a nice breeze. Half way on the second leg. which through a canting of the wind proved a fetch for more than half the way. Sham rock at one time had a lead of a mile and a half. Four miles from the second mark fortune again favored the- Irish boat The wind dropped and then came in from the southwest. This gave both boats a close fetch on the port tack for the mark. Shamrock naturally picked It up at first and pulled still further ahead, her lead at the turn being over nine minutes. Although it looked like Shamrock's (Concluded oo Page 2, Column a.) With Prohibition Established. Odell "Farmer" Is Little Concerned About Party Nomination. HOOD RIVER. Or., July 20. ( Spe cial.) Rev. William A. Sunday today declared that he had heard nothing new from Lincoln, Neb. where the convention of the prohibition party is due to open tomorrow. Indeed, he scarcely deems it necessary that the prohibitionists confer further with him. After a day spent In pondering over the political situation while at work on his Odell farm, Mr. Sunday said: "All in all, the situation as it stands suits me. The republican party is explicit on the liquor question. We already have the abolition of alco holic beverages written Into the con stitution. I agree with William Jen nings Bryan that Cox is a dangerous man. If Harding were like him on the liquor question, why, then I would be against Harding, but Harding is not. The republican platform suits me pretty well. "My view of a league of nations with strong reservations and the league plank of the republican plat form coincide. I don't believe In the Armenia mandate. The republican platform and the republican candi date suit me pretty well." Mr. Sunday indicated that what ever energy he might expend on the comfng political campaign would go to the support of Harding. Mount Hood Loop Course Yet Undecided. SEVERAL CONTRACTS LET Road Construction In Number of Sections Provided For Bonds Sold at Good Prices. . VANCOUVER, Wash., July 20. (Special.) Rev. A. H. Thompson, pas tor of the First Methodist church of this city and a lifelong worker for prohibition, is not in favor or putting up a prohibition candidate. In a tele gram to Wiliiam Jennings Bryan to day Mr. Thompson said: "The suggestion for a prohibition candidate for president dismays. It would hopelessly divide the dry forces.. As a prohibitionist for years I beg to reconsider your suggestion To elect members of congress we can trust points the only road to victory. Any other course, would assure a wet victory."

Sold $1,500,000 worth of road bonds at better price than pre vailed a month ago. Agreed to build a mile and a half of the Mount Hood loop road in Hood River county. Took under advisement loop road location between Gresham and Zigzag. Appropriated $26,250 to match government money to grade and gravel 17 miles of Mackenzie pass road.

OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, July 20. (Special.) Passengers on western railroads now face the possibility of an Increase in fares from 3 to 4 cents a mile to help meet the 600,000,000 wage award made by the railway labor board to day. Something more than $200,000.- 000 of this amount. It is proposed. shall be raised by an increase in pas senger charges and the balance by higher freight rates. It is calculated that in order to make up the balance of the amount needed for the wage award and the billion-dollar Increase required to give the railroads a fair return on their property, freight rates in the west will have to be increased ap proximately 32 per cent. A heavier burden will be put on eastern ship pers, who will be taxed an additional 40 per cent, becauee eastern railroads are not showing as favorable returns as the western lines. There is some agitation inside the interstate commerce commission to make the passenger rate increase in the west higher than in the east for the reason that the west was not hit by the McAdoo order issued early in the war putting all passenger rates on a 3-cent basis. The west already had a 3-cent rate, while in most of the states of the east the passenger rate was only 2 cents. While most of the members of the Interstate commerce commission seem to incline to a uniform passenger in crease of one-half cent a mile for all parts of the country, there is dan ger that the- argument that a flat advance would be inequitable, because the difference in pre-war rates east and west, will make a strong appeal to some members who have not yet thought It over. One sug gestion Is that a higher rate be as sessed against those who ride in Pullman cars, and there Is a possibil ity that the half-cent a mile extra for Pullman passengers, which was in effect during the war, will be restored. Camera Enthusiast, Last Seen by Woman Near Glacier, Meets Death in Mountains. CAMPAIGN IN WEST Leaders of Six States Hold Conference. HARTFORD. Wash., July 20. (Spe cial.) .The body of Henry A. French, who for 25 years was a resident of Portland. Or., late Monday was found near Monte Cristo. Wash., where he was lost in the woods July 16. 1918. Mr. French was 70 years old, and was staying at Casscrest Inn, near Monte Cristo, in the hope of recovering from an attack of asthma.

He was last seen by some women who passed him on the trail and asked him to take their pictures on the glacier further up the mountain. He p-om-ised to do so, but did not keep his ap pointment, and searchers failed to find his body. Henry A. French was an employe of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company. He lived at Bellrose sta tion, near Gresham, Or. It is a little more than two years since he disappeared. His son, L. H. French., went to Monte Cristo and led the search for his father. Friends had already taken up the hunt for the body, which was continued with the aid of blood hounds. Although Mr. French had gone to Mone Cristo for his health, he was strong and active for his age. He had a hobby for making pictures while wandering in the hills. L. H. French received notice Mon day that his father's body had been found. Mr. French was delayed In leaving for Monte Cristo until 1 night. VICTORY FORESEEN BY ALL University Authorities Withhold Names of Women; Misconduct Rumor Heard on Campus.

This is the first time an- actual wager has been made at such long odds in favor of the republican can didate. There appeared to be a little more Cox money In sight' than here tofore. But, as a rule, the followers of Harding were not disposed to give 2.5 to 1, which adherents to the demo cratic nominee were demanding. An offer of $2500 at even money that Senator Harding will carry Ohio went without takers. COAST OIL GAUGE PROBED Dealers Force Autoists to Buy Lu bricant With Gasoline, Charged. WASHINGTON, July 20.

The re publican campaign on the Pacific coast was opened formally today with, a meeting of party leaders of six states at the branch headquar ters of the republican national com mittee here. At the close of the con ference it was announced by Ray mond Benjamin, assistant to the na tional chairman, who presided, that all were enthusiastic concerning the prospects for republican victories in all Pacific states. Among those at the meeting were Guy Kelly, national committeeman of Washington; ex-State Senator John W. Hart. national commltt from Idaho; Albert Lindley, re gional ways and means chairman Allen B. Jaynes, national committee. man of Arizona; Sames, Arizona state chairman: Mrs. Katherine P. Edson, H. P. Niles. Washington, and Joe Grail of Los Angeles. Representatives Julius Kahn and John L Nolan were visitors at the session. Arizona Outlook Ild Bright. Mr. Jaynes said at the close of the meeting: "Prospects for republican victory in Arizona look splendid. The demo cratic registration led the republican two to one two years ago, but the division is about even now in most counties." "The great fight In Washington this year is with the non-partisan league, with Its 22,000 paid-up mem bers and its huge campaign chest," said Guy Kelly of Tacoma. "The non partisan league, composed of farmers, is one unit of the triple alliance, an organization which polled 35,000 votes in Seattle in the recent mayoralty fight. Democratic Split Cited. "Unlike the republicans, the demo crats are split into two factions, head ed by the federal office-holders and state office-holders. There is much uiaoaiiBiaciiuu in vvasnington over national affairs with the result that we will get many a democratic vote." "Idaho is very well satisfied with the Harding and Coolidge combina tion and we are confident of an over whelming republican victory," Mr. Hart declared. "Senator Borah ia already taking an active part In our campaign as the determined foe to the league of nations and the Wilson foreign policy. There seems to be a general feeling in the state that change of administration is necessary to solve the reconstruction problems confronting the nation." Trip to West Considered. Discussion as to whether Senator Harding should be prevailed upon to extend his campaign trips to the Pa cific coast states featured the in formal meeting representing Califor nia, Oregon. Washington, Idaho, Ne vada and Arizona. Campaign head quarters for these states were re tained in a downtown hotel and will be formally jpened on August 1. According to Elmer Dover of Ta coma, the regional campaign man ager, the unofficial nature of the meeting precluded any Idea of fram ing a specific invitation to Senator Harding to visit the west, but the majority of those attending, he said, were in favor of such a visit.

This infraction of university rules is said fo be only one incident in the improper conduct for which disciplinary action was awarded. The campus was alive with specu lation today as to the actual cause of the withdrawal of the women, but the university authorities refused to state what the actual misconduct had been or to name the young women involved. Both women have been living at Roble hall, the co-eds.' dormitory, where it is understood that a consid erable number of the fair students have been reprimanded for smoking, a practice which is not countenanced by the university. It has not been many months since the campus was startled by the an nouncement of the president of the university that for the good of the ycung women themselves and to put a stop to certain practices that were not believed to be for the best in terests of a democratic institution like Stanford university it was rec ommended that steps be taken to abolish sorority houses, as they were at present conducted.

A delegation of Elks, from Findlay, O.. appeared unannounced on Senator Harding's lawn today and with the help of the republican presidential nominee and a brass band staged a curtain-raiser to the front porch campaign. The senator's role consisted of great deal of handshaking and short talk in which he harked back to his boyhood when the Marion band, of which he was a member, went over to Findlay for a prize competition. "We copped off the prize," he said, "and we came home almost as proud as we were when we heard the result of the Chicago convention." "I'm very proud to be an Elk," Sen ator Harding said, "and I feel that the Elks of the United States have made a. record for patriotism, and service that will remain imperishable as long as the memory of the great war en dures." Politics was not touched on in the talk, nor did the candidate make any further statement today in his league LaIor Leaders Expcctcdm to Sub mit Award to Workers Without Any Recommendation. CHICAGO, July 20. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Whether the specter of a nation-wide railway strike has been laid by the $600,000,000 wage increase granted today to more than 1.800,000 railroad employes tonight remained undecided. Brotherhood officials made no at tempt to conceal their disappointment that they did not get all of the billion-dollar increase they asked. The belief grew, however, that they would submit the award, probably without recommendation, to a refer endum of the men. A decision on this point was promised tomorrow by W. G. Lee f Cleveland, grand pres ident of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. Kreljtht Advinee Planned. Railroad representatives accepted the award philosophically and im mediately set about plans for pass ing the $600,000,000 addition to their wage budget along to the ultimate consumer in this case the man who pays the freight. Armed with re liable advance knowledge as to what the award would provide, the rail roads had their figures ready. Judge R. M. Barton, chairman of the United railway labor board, had hardly handed down his decision when E. T. Whiter, representing the more than 400 railroads involved, an nounced that the roads would need an increase of IS per cent on freight rates to meet the boost. Increase Is ! Per Cent. The interstate commerce commis sion will be asked to spread the in crease over both freight and passen ger rates. The $600,000,000 award represents a 21 per cent increase in the pay of the railway men. For the first time in history the roads' payroll this year will pass the $3,000,000,000 mark. Mr. Whiter estimated the 1920 payrolls at $3,344,000,000, more than double the $1,468,576,394 paid in 1916. The board's award was made retro active to May 1, with provision that back pay for three months falls due August 1, when $130,000,000 is to be distributed in addition to the regular pay. II road Poller Followed. In its decision the board followed the broad general policy laid down by the Lane commission, appointed in 191S, that the man who received the least should get the most. On a percentage basis, the biggest increases went to the unskilled and semi-skilled labor. The one notable exception to this general rule was the yard service men. whose 18 cents an hour increase topped all others. Here the board explained the deciding factors were the extreme hazard to life and limb and the degree of skill required. Knd to Wage Cycle Expected. Today's award, if it is accepted by i the men, will bring to a close, at least for the present, the board be lieves, the seemingly endless cycle of wage demands from t. e railway workers.

In August of last year Pres ident Wilson appealed to the men to wait and give the government a chance to reduce the cost of living. They waited until this year, then pressed their requests again. Again the matter was deferred, as federal control of the roads was about to end. In February congress passed the transportation bill providing new machinery in the labor board to deal with the case, but it was not until the board was appointed on April 15 that work was begun.
