future peace negotiations, it wad said
at the foreign ministry last night that
no word had been received from the
Letvlan government regarding hold
ing the conference in Riga.
WARSAW, Aug. 29. (By the Asso

PEACE PARLEY WARLIKE OXE
Polish and BoIsbcTlk Delegations
in Continual Controversy.
MINSK, Aug. 22. via Moscow (By
the Associated Press.) Members of
the Polish peace delegation have
been engaged in a continual contro
versy with bolshevik officials since
arriving here. Disagreements between
the delegation and the soviet com
missaire in command of the quarters
w here the Poles are virtually prison
ers have reached bewildering propor
tions regarding the use of a wireless
plant by the Poles and the regulations
to be observed in the house where the
delegates are living.
When the Poles reached this city
the delegation was escorted by a de
tachment of mounted soviet troops to
a residence near the center of the city,
about which guards were posted with
orders to allow no one to leave with
out a soviet escort. The correspondent
of the Associated Press has found
it difficult to obtain an exact, view
of the situation owing to the fact
that he is a prisoner, like the rest
of the Polish party. A visit was made
to a local- official, the correspondent
being accompanied by guard, and the
ti f " i i i -i 1 u t -j t n rl that tnaamiir), - c , k-. a
correspondent had accompanied the
Warsaw delegation to Minsk, he was
identified with it.
"It s too bad you came up with the
Poles." he was told.
The Polish delegation set up a wire
less plant soon after its arrivel but
was forced to move it three times
in an endeaveor to obtain a situation
from "which it might communicate
with Warsaw. The last location was
made this morning and prospects of
sending messages to the Polish capital
were good but when an attempt was
made to use tne apparatus it was
found that the soviet commandant had
sealed it.
The Poles are impatient under the
confinement, while the attitude of the
bolshevik! seems to grow more of'
fcnsive as news of Polish, victories.

Members of the Polish misson said
today the soviet terms presented yes
terday were not acceptable.
RUSSIANS URGED TO RAXLV

WARSAW. Aug. 30. Bolshevik of
ficers taken prisoner by the Poles
say that the Polish army will not
meet serious resistance until it
reaches the line running through the
railroad points of Vilna, Lida, Bara
Iiovichy and Luniniets.
Wireless messages have been sent
broadcast to scattered units of the
bolshevik army remaining in Polish
territory, asking them, to try to rally
at Minsk, according to a wireless
message intercepted, by the Polish
general- staff. It Is urged that this
reorganization be rushed.
This message also noted the com
plaint of bolshevik division com
manders because they bad received
unarmed soldiers as reinforcements.
The message indicated that the
romnanto of the bolshevik troops in
Poland will be divided . into two
armies. Northern headquarters would
be established at Minsk and south
ern headquarters at Rovno. Leon
Trotzky is expected to take personal
supreme command of both armies.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30. An
nouncement that Hiram W. Johnson,
United States senator, will leave San
Francisco about the mifidle of Sep
tember on a national campaign tour
for the republican national ticket
was made by the western neadquar
ters of the republican national com
mittee here today.
Senator Johnson Issued a state
ment today in which he said:
"Senator Harding has scrapped the
league. This was done really by the
republican platform and in the re
publican candidate's speech of ac
ceptance; but certain gentlemen and
certain newspapers for their own
purpose pretended to construe the
words of the platform and of the
candidate wholly at variance with
their plain tenor. There can now be
no pretense even of misunderstand
ing. "On Saturday Mr. Harding reiterat
ed in language incapable of two in
terpretations his opposition and hos
tility to the league of nations. He
declares as we have all declared, in
favor of arbitration treaties and the
Hague tribunal. He would go as we
would all go to very great lengths
promote peace and prevent war.

"He says clearly: 'I a:-.i opposed to

'I am opposed to the very thought of
our republic becoming a party to
such a great outrage upon peoples
who have as good a right to seek
their political freedom as we had

democratic candidate he favors going

now emphatically answers as the re

out. The long fight is won. We will

the question in November, but the

PENDLETON 5 FEAR BUS
CHANGE OF VENUE ASKED
JAILBREAKERS.
BY
Unprejudiced Panel Impossible in
Unatilla County, Attorneys
Plead Before Court.
PENDLETON. Or., Aug. 30. (Spe
cial.) Motion for a change of venue
in the coming trial of Hart. Owens,
Rathie, Stoop and Henderson, the
five men imprisoned in the Umatilla
county jaif indicted for the murder
of Sheriff T. D. Taylor, was filed In
the last hour allowed by the court
this afternoon by attorneys for the-
defendants.
It was asserted that an unpreju
diced jury cannot be obtained for the
trial in Umatilla county.
Hart, having confessed and pleaded
guilty to murder, is not entitled to a
change of venue, in the opinion of
many, unless he changes his plea to
"not guilty."
Supporting the two motions are five
affidavits. All affidavits contain the
same argument that of prejudice in
this county and the affidavit entered
by the father of Stoop is most lengthy
and most carefully prepared. It con
tains quotations from local citizens
and references to alleged propaganda
in local papers, attempting to show
that no one who is a reader of news
papers here is qualified to serve as a
juror.
Attorney for the defense said no
one is dissatisfied with Judge Gilbert
W. Phelps.
One of the arguments in the motions
filed today is that the voluntary sub
scription list to the Til Taylor me
morial fund indicates that public sen
timent is prejudiced against defend
ants in the case. Information is filed
showing that the campaign for volun
tary subscriptions is being organized
in the county and that the slain sheriff
had many friends, due to his office
and personality, which would have
great influence at time of trial.
Attorneys for th defense have in
no way indicated the county in which
they wish the trial to be held.
Yakima. If this production is reached,
he said, the crop will be about 30
per cent smaller than last year, but
the quality will be as good or better.
"Cooler weather and rains in the
Yakima country have done wonders
for" the potatoes," said Mr. Mignerey,
"and the yield will be heavy and the
quality fine. Unusually hot and dry
weather slightly decreased the yield
of early potatoes in both eastern and
western Washington, but 'late pota
toes on both sides of the Cascades as
a result of recent rains are looking
better than average. About 54,000
acres are planted.

Application for 1020-1922 Allot
ment Must Be Made by
July 1, 1922.
OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Aug. 30. (Special.)
Available for allotment to the high
way commissions of the states of
Idaho, Oregon and Washington be
tween July 1, 1920, and July 1, 192,
there will be $4,268, S29. If application
has not been made by the last date,
with the legal evidence required for
proper use of the funds, together with
at least an equal amount from the
respective states for designated high
way construction, these amounts will
lapse to the general fund and become
available for use in. all other states.
Thomas H. MacOonald, chief of the
bureau of public roads of the- depart
ment of agriculture, announced that
the largest of all the allocations yet
made under the federal aid' act, $100,
000.000, became available July 1 this
year. This total was mate up from
$24,2a0,000 from the last installment
of the 1916 federal appropriation and
$72,750,000 from the last installment
of the 1920 federal appropriation.
Under these the three northwestern
states will receive the following
totals: Idaho $1,226,019. Oregon $1,576,
152 and Washington $1,444,626.
In presenting these facts, Mr. Mac-
Donald commented that all the states
since 1915 have enlarged and improved
their highway forces and work, and
all available funds for the respective
slates have been absorbed. He is
confident that the $100,000,000 now
available, less 3 per cent for over
head and administration, will be ab
sorbed, insuring a $200,000,000 road
construction' programme under the
federal aid act.
In announcing the funds available
today, Mr. MacDonald said that it
would be necessary for congress at
its forthcoming sessions to declare
early as to continuance of these ap
propriations if the states were not
to be discommoded in. their future
road planning.
In view of the fact that the states
have to make surveys and work out
all details for road projects well
ahead, Mr. MacDonald noted that they
cannot be expected to continue this
preparatory work unless assured in
definite form by the government that
the federal appropriations will be
continued.
