HARDING FRIEND 0
WETS, SAYS WATKIWS
Record on Prohibition Is De
clared Sorry One.
30 WET -VOTES CHARGED
Senator Held Also to Have 'Sup
ported Capital Against Labor .
Throughout His Career.
CHICAGO, Axis. 25. Prohibition na
tional headquarters tonight Issued a
statement by Aaron S. Watkins, pro
hibition nominee for president, at
tacking the record of Senator Hard
ing on the wet and dry question. Mr.
Watkins declares he is unable to find
any instance of Senator Harding vot
ing for the drys, and cites figures de
signed to show that the republican
nominee voted with the wets on 30
occasions and was "absent or dodged
1163 rollcalls and quorum calls."
The statement follows in part:
"It seems quite clear to me that the
friends of Senator Harding have over
worked his meager prohibition record
and have left in idle inefficiency a
day morning, and the two day myst
ery which it caused received a more
commonplace explanation today when
Fire Chief Carlon discovered a gap
ing crater torn by the explosion of
60 pounds of dynamite which had
been stored In a small building half
a mile west of the Shevlln-Hixson
company's lumber yards.
The gnawing . of sage rats at
tracted by the greasy paper wrap
pings of the explosive, is thought to
have been responsible for the deto
nation which wakened Bend at 2
o'clock in the morning, and which in
the absence of any more plausible
theory, was explained by the possible
falling of a large meteor.
- The theory was rendered all the
more probable when' the falling of a
fragment of meteoric iron which
struck the railroad station at Des
chutes, just north of here, within re
Cent years; was recalled.

AUDITORIUM CONTRACTOR IS
SAID TO'HAVE PAID OUT $42 0 6.
Bondholders Declared to Have
Made Up $63,398.77, Account
ant Testifies.
Hans Pederson, the contractor who
built the public auditorium, paid out
$4206.20 of his own money and his
bondholders paid a deficit of $63,393.77
before the building was completed, ac
cording to the testimony of Alexander
Young, oertified public accountant,
before the auditorium claims commit
tee last night. Mr. Young went over
the books at the request of Mr. Peder-
perfectly good and healthy herd of I son's bondholders.
wet votes which decorate his congres- Mr. Xoirng testified that all of the
sional record. For instance, he voted
Against prohibition in the District of
Columbia. He also voted against pro
hibition in Porto Rico. Moreover, he
cast several votes against war-time
prohibition, spoke at length against it,
and I have thus far been unable to
find any case in which he supported
it.
Reed Amendment Opposed.
"In August, 1917, he supported the
Heed amendment, which provided that
congress should have no power to en
force the ISth amendment until it had
made provision fpr compensating
Hquor manufacturers and dealers for
losses sustained by them through the
closing up of their business. It was
Senator Harding who introduced the
six-year clause which the wets confi
dently prophesied would defeat the
measure. His vote for submission of
the amendment was accompanied by
a. speech in which he announced his
opposition to it and his vote was
merely his consent to allow the people
of the several states to settle the
question.
"Lynn Haines of Washington, In a
review of Senator Harding's congres
sional record, credits him with 30 wet
votes during his incumbency of the
senatorship and incidentally states
that he was absent or dodged 1163
rollcalls and quorum calls.
Sinister Alliance Seen.
"Mr. Haines also points out that he
has voted against every amendment
to the revenue bill to Increase the
tax on profiteering ami large incomes
and opposed publicity of profiteering
figures. He further records him as
voting with capital and against labor
In every important test on that issue
and also as opposing public owner
ship in every form. He spoke and
voted for conscription as a permanent
policy; opposed a referendum as to
future wars; opposed adequate ap
propriations for the federal trade
commission, opposed the abolition of
secret sessions of the senate, opposed
Philippine independence and support
ed woman suffrage only after-much
reluctance and indecision. He seemed
to be permanently parked with Lodge,
Penrose, Smoot and Brandegee on
most of the issues of outstanding in-,
terest to the nation."
money paid by the city went into the
construction of the building, which
amounted to $347,083.06, while the
actual cost of the building exceeded
that amount by $63,398.77.
Other minor details in connection
with the issuing of the building per
mit at the time of the awarding of
the contract and testimony in regard
to the alleged delay in the stone work
were discussed. '
A. Walker, a atone cutter who
worked on all the stone used in the
construction work and who was on
the job from the first day until the
building was completed, testified
there was no delay caused by failure
of stone shipped from the quarries to
arrive on time. He testified further
that no extra expense was entailed
by the work done by hand after the
stone arrived. Every piece which was
shipped to Portland was finished so
far as machine work was concerned,
he said.

MUCH BUSINESS AT STAKE
yesterday decided to run a trade ex

the line of the Oregon-Washington
railroad about the middle of October.
It is probable that the special train
will leave Portland October 17 for a
trip that will occupy six days. The
itinerary is being arranged by a sub
committee of which C. C. Chapman
is chairman, and the report will be
acted upon at a meeting to be held in
the dinir.g-room of the Chamber Fri
day at noon. -Owing
to the number of towns to be
visited in Oregon and the distances
to be covered by the train, it is not
deemed advisable to extend the trip
outside the state 'this fall. Definite
decision of the plans for the entire
trip will be made at the meeting tomorrow.

Meeting at Seattle.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 25. (Spe
cial.) A sensation was sprung at the
meeting of the Washington Good
Roads association at Everett today
when Fred L. Wolfe, a newspaper
publisher of Newport, Pend d'Oreille
county, and chairman of the execu
tive committee, read to the committee
a telegram sent him calling for a
stand by his paper on the Carlyon
bill.
The telegram, dated at Spokane Au
gust 19, 1920, and addressed to Mr.
Wolfe's paper, reads as follows:
"Carlyon bill to be voted in Novem
ber. Will you support the bill or re
frain from definite stand? This will
mean big special business to you at
present and time to come. Answer one
way or another at once by mail.
"WESTERN NEWSPAPER ASSN."
After reading his reply, which stat
ed that he had long since taken defi
nite stand against the Carlyon bill
and that he "would regret to believe
that the telegram indicates that an
attempt will be made to influence the
policy of this newspaper," Mr. Wolfe
declared that he had information to
show that other newspaper men in
Spokane territory had received simi
lar telegrams.
He asked the committee to formally
resent the apparent purpose of the
message and to denounce such a
method of seeking support for a road
measure.
The members of the committee con
demned the action of the agency and
the motive that inspired the telegram.
Charles McKenzie of . Whitman
county, C. F. Stinson of Franklin and
F. J. Wilmer of Whitman were named
by Mr. Wolfe to make an investiga
tion and report back to the commit
tee later.
Mr. McKenzie offered his resigna
tion as a member of the committee
and in explanation said that he did so
because of his desire to be freed of
any possible embarrassment in deal
ing with matters that might come up
and also to remove ground for the
possible charge of acting from selfish
motives, .as he was interested in some
road contracts in Whitman county.
He said that lie had become interested
in the contracts to compel competi
tion among bidders on road work, as
he had discovered Ahat the method of
calling for bids on several roads at
the same time had led to parceling
out the work among contractors who
agreed femong themselves to hold up
the prices.
The committee refused to accept the
resignation and passed a unanimous
vote of confidence in Mr. McKenzie.

Arrest Is Made on, British Steamer
Dryden . and on Request of
Authorities of U. S.
RIO JANEIRO, Aug. 25. (By As
sociated Press.) When the British
steamer Dryden arrived yesterday
from New York one of the crew was
placed under arrest at the request
of the United States authorities. He
is suspected of being Eugene Leroy,
wanted in Detroit, Mich., in connec
tion with the murder of Mrs. Kath
erine Lou Jackson. She is said to
have been his wife and her mutilated
body was found in an unclaimed
trunk in New York.
The suspect is confined aboard the
vessel, guarded by four maritime
police. He had shipped aboard the
Dryden under the name of Morris
Fox, ordinary seaman. Today he
said:
"I know absolutely nothing about
the death of Mrs. Jackson in Detroit.
I have never been In that city."
Fx is tall and well built, about 30
years old, with . regular features,
light brown eyes, and dark hair
brushed straight back. He speaks
English without noticeable accent.
He has not the appearance of a sailor
and declared that he had shipped on
the Dryden solely because he was
without money and had many debts.
"Yes," he continued, "I read about
the Jackson case In the New York
papers, before sailing, but the police
are silly to compare me with Leroy
in personal appearance."
As there is no extradition treaty
between the -United States and Brazil,
Fox will be detained on the Dryden
until the vessel reaches Buenos
Aires, when extradition will be
asked. Fox asserts his home is in
Toronto, where he says i his motheV
resides.

People - of Nome Disappointed.
Pilots Were Ready to Hop Ofr
Across Bering Sea.
NOME, Alaska, Aug. 25. Plans of
the army aviators, who completed
here Monday a transcontinental trip
for a flight today to Cape Prince of
Wales and across the Bering sea to Si
bena were abandoned this afternoon
on receipt of a telegram from Wash
ington, D. C, disapproving the project.
The aviators and planes were ready
o hop off when the telegram arrived.
The people of Nome were greatly dis
appointed when the flight was called
off. The aviators are now awaiting
favorable weather conditions at Ruby,
their first stop, before starting the
return trip.
"We are enthusiastic over the suc
cess of our flight because it has ac
ccmplished what was believed to be
mpossible. the establishment of aer
ial communication with Alaska. The
entire trip was made with the orig-
nal motors, and .they are still run
ning beautifully.
Thus did Captain St. Clair Street
head of the New York to Nome air
plane expedition of the United States
army, sum up today results of the
long transcontinental flight which
began at Mineola, L. I., July 14 and
ended with the arrival of the four
planes on the Nome beach late yes
terday. The machines are in perfect
condition for the return flight Cap
tain Street said.
Fogs and storms that had delayed
the departure of the aviators from
Ruby gave way yesterday to a warm
sun and clear skies.
There was something akin to the
thrill of the old gold rush days as the
crowds of prospectors, miners and
natives gathered from every village
for miles around and waited on the
famous "gold beach" for the arrival
of the aviators.
Then, far out over Norton sound
they appeared, and the crowd waited
breathless. Five minutes later.
5-30 o'clock, the wheels of the plane
touched the sandy field and Nome'
first aviators had arrived.
'The middle west and Canada as
far north as Edmonton. Alberta
proved the most ideal flying terri
tory," Captain Street said, in de
scribing the journey. "After we
reached the Rocky mountains we
found few landing fields, chiefly be
cause or the rough nature of the
country and the h'eavy forests. As
we flew over southeastern Alaska, we
sighted innumerable glaciers.
"In the interior of Alaska, the
unexplored territory, we could land
only on the bars of the rivers."
The trip demonstrated the feasibil
ity of establishing mail, express an
passenger communication with Alask
by air, Captain Street asserted.
expect to see such routes established
in the not far distant future," he said.
Save the Babies.
INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all
i the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter,
die before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before
they axe five, and one-half before they are fifteen! '
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save many of
these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile
deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and sooth
ing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine.
They aref in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupify,
retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. There can be no danger
in the use of Castoria if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher as it contains no
opiates or narcotics of any kind. v

sential requirements had not reduced
the volume of loans and discounts of
the country's banking institutions.
There has been an awakening of the
public to credit needs, according to
the board's view, with the result that
people are "taking stock, curtailing
their expected loans and exercising
generally a more wholesome judg
ment." The result sought by tho board
when it asked the banks to restrict
the credit of so-called non-essential
enterprises is being attained,.but not
without the aid of higher interest
rates, it was said.
Senator Chamberlain Addresses
Commercial Club and Pledges
His Assistance.
BEND, Or., Aug. 25. (Special.)
Predictions of railroad extensions to
the south, connecting Bend with
Lakeview and Klamath Falls at an
early date, were made and pledges of
assistance in securing federal aid for
the development of the Benham Falls
irrigation project were given here to
day by United States Senator George
E. Chamberlain, in an address given
before the Bend Commercial club at
its weekly meeting.
He pointed out that railroad con
nection with the southern Oregon cit
ies, which he believes will be a mat
ter of a very ehort time, will mean
that the sections which they repre
sent will cease to be tributary to Cal
ifornia, and will transfer their alle
giance to Oregon.
Senator Chamberlain is here in the
course of an automobile tour of the
state, and will leave tomorrow morn
ing for the north.
Regarding topics of nation-wide in
terest, the senator asserted that the
questions of the cost of living, profit
eering and industrial equalization,
will eolve themselves satisfactorily
through, the workings of economic
laws.
"Conditions similar to those now
existing have been experienced after
every war and it is only a wonder to
e that worse conditions do not con
front us after the dislocation of world
life, which is the real meaning of the
conflict through which we have so
recently passed, he said.
"I have no fear for the luture as
far as America la concerned," he con
tinued. "America is now the credi
tor nation of the world, and it re
mains for us to see that America re
tains this position.
"We have still to get back to a
normal basis, and I look forward to
the time when the amalgamation of
the foreign born in our American na
tionality will be so complete that the
necessity for deportations will be
eliminated."
CODE HELD OUT OF DATE
Flouring Mills Firm Contends for
Building Law Change.
That a part of the city's building
code limiting the height of grain
elevators to 60 feet is out of date, is
the contention of the Portland Flour
ing Mills and this contention is con
curred in by Mayor Baker and mem
bers of the city council. Therefore
an effort will be made to change the
code. The immediate purpose is to
permit the company to go ahead with
the construction of a new elevator.
The building code was adopted in
1911. Some time ago t"he council
granted a special permit for an ele
vator 90 feet high and now the Tort
land company wants one 113 feet
high. Engineers for the city say
there is no danger entailed in such
a structure. Accordingly, the com
pany has been notified that it may
go ahead and in the meantime the
permit will be taken care of.
