That the "whole future policy of the United States Is to be determined by the senatorial election this year," with the paramount issue defined as "Americanism against- International ism," was the declaration of United States Senator Poindexter, chairman of the republican senate campaign committee, who tonight made a state ment In which he outlined seven questions which he said would be answered by the voters. These questions, he said, dealt with the "preservation of the United States as a sovereign and independent na tion, with complete control over its foreign and domestic affairs"; the Monroe doctrine; the protection of American manufacturers with partic ular reference to new Industries de veloped during the war; the promo tion of American foreign trade with every encouragement and safeguard ing which our citizens, "both at home and abroad, have a right to expect from their government"; cancellation or amendment of treaties which pre vent us from giving preferential tar iff rates on goods Imported In Amer ican ships; free use of the Panama canal by American ships and reason able toll charges for foreign ships, and "repudiation of wholly unauthor ized International agreements made by the democratic administration with certain oriental countries." The latter. Senator Polndexter's statement continued, "have been pro mulgated by the administration as the policy of the Usited States wholly without authority, because they have never been submitted, as required by the constitution of the United States, for the consent and approval of the senate." "Whether or not the decision on these vital matters 18 to be submit ted to a combination of foreign pow ers in which the United States as a party to the dispute would have no voice may be determined b'y the elec tion of a single senator," the state ment continued. "The establishment of American rights and the maintenance by the United States of such naval suprem acy in the Pacific as to guarantee peace, render secure our detached ter ritory, relieve us of the necessity of maintaining a large standing army, and to insure the future Americanism of our Pacific coast states should be the determining factor in this Issue." ,321 IN TWO ESTATES OSCAR.

Third of Police Pursued Victim ot Auto Accident; In Court 12 Times La st Two Years. The last notation on the police court record of William. Jasper Fon ville, alleged bootlegger, and de clared to be one of the most elusive characters ever trailed by the police, who was killed when his automobile turned .over en route to British Co lumbia Monday, was written by the clerk when he noted that charges against Fonville were dismissed on account of the "death of the defend ant." Probably a third of the police on the Portland force had pursued Fon ville on one occasion or another in efforts to apprehend him, and the po lice court records show that he was up before the judge nearly a dozen times within the last two years. Fon ville, however, was so elusive that in the majority of instances the of ficers were unable to get a. good "case" against him, and he was dis missed or let off with a light fine. Fonville also went by the name of Jasper and under that name was fined $75 for violating the prohibi tion law on July 17. 1919. ' Fonville was married to Pearl Me Collen In Vancouver. Wash., shortly after his arrest with her on charges of living together. The last arrest of Fonville occurred on the night of Friday, August 13, when he was taken In a raid on his home at 620 Northrup street. The police got eight quarts of liquor in a hand grip in a closet of the house at the time of the raid. Fonville's case was set over the following morning un til August 31 and he was released on $260 bail.
