FAIR RENT BODY TO MEET
SESSION WILL BE HELD BE-
HtXT CLOSED DOORS.
Publicity to Follow Refusal of Ob
fcllnate Landlords to Make)
' Proper Adjustments.
Behind closed doors the fair rental
committee appointed by Mayor Bake
to curb rent profiteers will begin
functioning tonight. The meeting
of the committee is set for 8 o'clock
at the mayor's office. The' session
will be private in order that witnesse
may not be known, many of them
being fearful of being ousted from
their apartments or houses if thei
landlords knew they were appearing
before the committee.
Mayor Baker, through the office
of the city attorney, has summone
witnesses in three of the worst case
presented to the mayor in the form
of complaints. The complainants will
be heard, as will also the landlords
and an effort will be made to brin
about a satisfactory adjustment.
If the committee finds cases of
profiteering, and the landlord refuse
to listen to reason? publicity will be
resorted to.
That the hearing of individual com
plaints and the investigation of indl
vidual cases is the only method ope
to the committee to combat profit
eering in rentals was a conclusio
reached by the commission after sev.
eral weeks of investigation.
It was found that the city council
is without power to enact legislatio
to cover the subject, but that th
state legislature may have the power.
The increased passenger and freight
rates granted by the interstate com
erce commission "will go Into ef
feet tomorrow. Freight rates in Ore
gon and the Pacific states will be ad-
anced 25 per cent, while passenger
fares will rise 20 per cent. Today is
he last day on which tickets may be
urcnasea at tne old rates of 3
ents a mile. The only exception in
the west is idaho, where the state
commission provided that rates in
xcess of the standard under the new
rder should not be raised.
Hundreds . of people have found
way to make eastern trips at the
xlsting rates, however, by purchas
ing the nine-month round-trip tickets
,'ith stopover privileges within the
ime limit and in either" direction.
Thus, there have recently been large
umbers of people crowding through
the gates at the union station, board
ing transcontinental trains with tick'
t for a long journey and then tak
ing stopover checks from the con
uctor that enables them to leave the
train at Vancouver, Troutdale, Oregon
City, or other nearby towns, return
to Portland and retain their ticket
for a transcontinental journey until
eady to make the trip.

OREGC-NTAM NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Aug. 24. Governor Cox's
campaign fund charges afforded the
uppermost subject of Interest In
Washington today. There was mild
surprise at the democratic nominee's
statement that he would take his own
time to reveal the evidence on which
he based his charge that the repub
licans were raising $15,000,000 for the
campaign.
His hesitant attitude toward the
proposal that he lay his evidence be
fore the senate investigating com
mittee caused some of his supporters
to feel that possibly he had gone too
far in his accusation and could not
substantiate what he had said.
What is he talking about? Was
the query. As near as could be as
certained, the democratic candidate
based his $5,000,000 "slush fund"
charge on gossip that the republicans
of two widely separated districts had
been assessed amounts which demo
cratic mathematicians figured out
would average between SO cents and
$1 to each voter.
Figures Used aa Baals.
Taking these figures as a basis, a
computation was made for the entire
country which produced the huge
total named by the candidate.
The only concrete clew to the Cox
charges is offered in an accusation
made some time ago by Franklin D
Roosevelt, democratic vice-presidential
candidate, and a news story pub
lished in the Cleveland Plaindealer,
a democratic paper, some days ago.
saying that the republicans of the
Cleveland district had been called on
for a certain fixed -amount. The
Cleveland figures are not known here
but the Roosevelt figures which were
said to be the republican quota for
his home county of Dutchess, In New
York, were $30,000. .
To what extent these figures are
hearsay is not known, as Chairman
Hays has never made any public men
tion of state quotas. There is keen
curiosity as to whether the senate
committee will Insist on Mr. Cox's
appearance to testify. Although presi
dential nominees have always been
treated as privileged persons by the
investigating committees, such candi
dates can legally claim none of the
privileges that surround the senator
or member of the lower house of con
gress. The presidential candidate if
not already in the office can be
hailed before a committee Just like
any other citizen.
No One Pays Mich Attention.
There is a difference In this case,
because never before has a candidate
for the White House launched such
damaging charges against his oppo
sition. There is a noticeable senti
ment here that Governor Cox should
go before the senate committee
promptly and reveal all that he
knows, if he has authentic informa
tion along the line of his charges.
Up to today but very 'ittle atten
tion had been paid either by the
democratic or republican parties to
the Cox charges. Even the New York
Times, one of the foremost Cox news
papers, only yesterday ran an edi
torial treating the whole subject of
campaign fund charges as the chaff
natural to any political campaign.
Bet of $500 0, at Two to One, Said
to Be- Placed in San Francisco
on Election of Harding.
Sol Stiller, ardent republican of
Portland, refused to allow Montana
democrats to "bluff him down" In his
belief in Harding's election and ac
cordingly has a $5000 bet. at two to
one. that Harding will win.
Stiller placed the bet in San Fran
cisco. Al Green of Butte. Montana,
holding the short end, $2500. The
stakes were placed In the safe of the
St. Francis hotel.
As Stiller was preparing to leave
the hotel for Portland, Manager
Charles Coleman remarked: "I know
where you can get $500 on Harding,
but you'll have to give three to one."
"No piker bets," said Stiller. "I will
wager $5000 against $2500 though."
Al Green, winning- man, was pre
paring to check out of the hotel at
the moment and "called" Stiller on
this and Stiller repaired to the bank
and cashed drafts sufficient to cover
the bet-
Mose unst. cigar man, later
bought $3000 of the Stiller bet.
Stiller, who owna a cigar stand at
Broadway and Stark streets, believes
his money is perfectly safe.
Local sporting circles yesterday re
ceived reports that bets were being
made In the east at odds of one and
a half and two to on In favor of
Harding. It was said that the most
ardent democrats were asking odda.

UNION PARADE GIVEN UP
Exercises at 'Sew Temple Site to Be
Labor Day Feature.
There will be no parade on Labor
day. This was decided by a joint
committee of the Central Labor coun
cil and the Labor Temple association
last night. The committee felt that
all energies of the various unions
should be centered in a programme to
be staged at the new labor temple
site. Fourth and Jefferson streets
where cornerstone exercises will take
place.
The committee will meet again this
afternoon and appoint speakers for
the occasion.
Abandonment of the traditional
union labor parade was decided upon
only after a thorough discussion at
a meeting In the offices of the Oregon
federation. Stock Exchange building.
The committee believes that a parade
would detract from interest in the
new temple.
