NATIVES HELD; ASSISTED Reports or Alleged Cruelties Are Denied by Rear - Admiral Knapp In Statement. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. Achieve ments of American intervention In Haiti will have been "lost" unless military occupation of the country is continued "a great many years," Rear AUmiral Harry S. Knapp. recently sent to Haiti at the request of the state department to study conditions, declared in a statement made public here tonight. Keplylng to a letter from Charles McKinley of Portland, Or., forwarded by Secretary Daniels and asking among other questions, when the Vnited States would withdraw from Haiti, Admiral Knapp's statement said: "I cannot answer this for the ad ministration, but in my personal viewi the work of the American intervention will have been practically lost if the T'nlted States withdraws its military forces for a great many years to come. Brutalities Are Denied. "I am not hopeful that the old ideas of graft, of public office as a means of private gain, can ever be extir pated from those who have reached manhood under the old corrupt stand ards. I personally believe it will take at least a generation to develop in Haitt sufficient men of a high enough standard of ethics to provide person nel for an honest administration and background of honest population for its support." Replying to questions regarding treatment of natives by the Americans. dmiral Knapp denied that women and children had been killed or that strangulation, flogging" or other cruel practices hada been used to ex tiact information "from natives. A "full answer" could not be given to the latter question, however, until certain allegations had been investi gated, he added. Constitution Held Followed. The political administration in Haiti Is being conducted with strict adher ence to the constitution adopted in 191S, Admiral Knapp replied in reply to the question: "Is it true that no legislative assembly has been con vened since 1916?" The "literal answer" to that ques tion he stated is "e" in view of the creation by the constitution of the council of state, "which shall exercise the legislative power until the legis lative body is constituted." Pointing out that the constitution provides for the election of a legisla ture on January 10 of any "even-num-bored year," Admiral Knapp said no election was held this year because th presidency of Haiti "did not see fit" to issue the necessary decree and that none could be held under the constitution before 1922. In the meantime he said the council of state is in session. Admiral Knapp declared there was no censorship in Haiti "strictly speak ing," quoting a military order now in effect which he said forbids only "in flammatory publications." American control of the constabulary was abso lutely necessary, he said, to develop an effective police force, which ad ministration of finances by this gov ernment had undoubtedly saved hun dreds of thousands of dollars to the Haiticn government. WHEAT DOOM IS FORESEEN IIOOVEK I7RGES DEEP SEA WA TERWAY FROM GREAT LAKES. Saving or at Least 10 Cents Bushel Would Brin Greater Pro duction, Is Declartion. NKW YORK. Oct. 20. American exportation of wheat will cease with in 10 years unless the farmer can in crease the productivity of his soil. Herbert Hoover declared here todav before the international joint com mission, advocating the proposed deep-sea waterways from (he Ureat Lakes through the St. Lawrence river. Mr. Hoover said the proposed wa terway would mean a saving of ai least 10 cents a bushel on export wheat and that this would go into the pocKets or the American farmer and result in greater production. The ex food administrator likened opposition to the waterway as similar to opposi tion to labor-saving machinery. Arguments for the waterway also were mado by AVilliam U. Redfield. former secretary of commerce, and Julius H. Barnes. . Mr. Hoover declared the wav must be opened for the wheat growers to increase productivity and this can be gained best by greater saving in transportation. The export price of heat. Mr. Hoover said, "'s made at Liverpool, where the American prod uct competes with grain from Argen tina, Australia and India. "I cannot understand the argument that rew lork would suffer through me construction of this waterway." said Hoover. "The port of New York is great because of the commercial ana general business prosperity of the country and the port of New York will remain great only as lone- as the business of the interior continues prosperous. ' COX'S VICTORY PREDICTED Secretary Daniels Says People Are Turning' Toward Governor. ST. JOSEriT, Mo., Oct. 20. The sen timent of (he people is turning toward Governor Cox. Josephus Daniels, sec lrtary of the navy, declared in a sptech tonight. Mr. Daniels said that this change was due to Senator Hard ing's "wobbly stand" on the league of rations. The secretary defended the Wilson administration and charged unsettled conditions to the republican congress. Mr. Daniels reiterated charges that the republican presidential candidate had a league relish to suit every taste. SLAIN MAN'S WIFE WINS Judge Holds Seattle Woman Is En titled to Police Pension.

MEDFORD, Or., Oct. 20. (Special.) The question of removing the Jack son county courthouse from Jackson ville to Medford, which will be voted on at the November election, threat ens to break into the state political campaign and cut a figure in the vote for state legislature candidates. Colonel H. II. Sargent, who is lead ing the campaign of the Jacksonville people to have the courthouse re tained in Jacksonville, came out this week with a public statement saying he and other county seat voters wanted to know just how the can didates for the legislature on both republican and democratic tickets stood on the courthouse removal ques tion' before they cast their votes In November. The first answer was received to day, when W. E. rhipps of Medford, one of the democratic candidates. fc-rote a public letter to W. C. Crews. chairman, coming out in favor of re moving the courthouse to Medford. It is not known whether any of the other legislative candidates will de clare themselves In this purely local question, in view of the fact that the petition for the placing of the court house removal question on the elec tion ballot was signed by 36,000 voters throughout the county, and there is a large element of voters in all sections who are opposed to the removal. Following the city council's action last night in unanimously voting to obligate the city of Medford to do nate a suitable courthouse site in Medford to the county, provided the measure to remove the courthouse from Jacksonville to Medford is voted on favorably November 2, Mayor Gates tssuea a public statement to the voters or Jackson county today guar anteed this would be done.

Growers Are to Be Financed to Prevent Dumping of Crop, on Market at Low Price. SALEM, Or.. Oct. 20 (Special.) Because some local buyers are alleged to have undermined the prune market by resorting to the policy of cutting all prices fixed by the Oregon Grow ers Co-operative association, a special bulletin was issued by that organ ization announcing that it will re open its pool until November 1. The bulletin, said that arrangements have been made with Portland banks to assist all growers who enter the pool by making advances of from two to five cents a pound on the various grades of prunes. Growers will be allowed to draw two cents a pound on prunes in the sack before grading and the remainder of the advance will be paid 'when the grading is com pleted. "This is done to aid growers who are without funds and who are being forced to dump their prunes on the market for less than they are worth," said the bulletin. "The present market condition Is one over which no individual or group of individuals had much influence or control. A perusal of a financial jour nal or a chat with your banker w-ill convince you quickly that the present sluggish prune market is due to fin ancial causes. "The early crop estimates of 80,000, 000 pounds in the northwest, which some buyers gave out, complicated the situation. The association has al ways believed in playing conserva tive in its estimates. The rain has tended further to complicate condi tions by making the final pack prob lematical to the trade as regards both quality and quantity." LOTTERY, EVIL PERSISTS DRAWINGS STILL TOLERATED IX SOME COCXTRIES. Portland Man Receives Prospectus of Danish Concern Claiming; to Have Government Approval. Lotteries long ago were outlawed in the United' States and postal laws forbid the use of the mails for the sending of any matter advertising lotteries or checks, drafts or any form of money to purchase tickets. In some other countries, however, they still exist. A Portland man re cently received the prospectus of a Danish concern, claiming the ap proval of the Danish government, of fering tickets for a drawing with many thousands of dollars in prizes. Postmaster Jones declares that un der the postal laws anyone sending out such literature is subject to ar rest and that anyone answering ad vertisements concerning lotteries, sending money for tickets or making requests for information regarding lotteries is subject to fine or im prisonment, if convicted. Persons, however, mailing such matter from foreign countries are immune from arrest. In such cases, according to the postal authorities, the mail may be withheld from de livery if known to contain matter in any way pertaining to lotteries. Fraud orders are issued whenever the postal department discovers that for eign lottery concerns are operating in the tinned States, and all mail. either from or to them, is withheld from the mails.

Four months ,of this time she spent in Poland at naiystok, where her particular duty was to care for the 7u children in the isolation hospital. In all, 700 children were under the charge of the Red Cross In this town and were taken care of in an orphan age. A special refugee committee looked -after the children and after they had been in quarantine for about two weeks they were sent to the or phanage if they needed no further care at the hospital. "The children ranged In age from a few months to 14 years," said Miss Krebs yesterday. "I will never for get their sad faces. For six years their country has been invaded, first by the Germans, then by the bolshe viki. The tots . could not seem to realize that they were safe at last with us, with a real bed and their next meal assured. The meaning of "democracy" has not reached many parts of Europe as yet, said Miss Krebs, and condi tions are unusually bad in Poland. Polish and American aides cared for the children in the orphanages, said Miss Krebs, and the children were given the best of attention by sympathetic workers.

Tjloyd Garretson has struck a boun Skin Diseases Not On the Surface Must Be Treated at Their Source. The m'stake that Is so generally made In treating diseases of the skin is a very common one, but It Is also very expensive to the sufferer.

And why is it that the error is so general? In the first place, eczema, tetter, scaly eruptions and other Irritations of the skin are exceedingly annoying, and In many cases the itching and burning become intensely terrifying. Often the victim is kept awake at night scratching and rubbing the burning skin, in an effort to get some relief. Because what he sees and feels of bis affliction is on the surface, he is misled into the error of believing that all treatment should be directed to- !ward the location of the pain and discomfort- Then, too, because of the I intensity of the suffering, he is will ing to try almost anything that he thinks will afford some measure of relief, no matter how slight. This leads him headlong into the mistake that is so general, the one HE GOULD HAVE SAVED HUNDREDS Wilson Is Sorry He Didn't Know About Tanlac Long Ago Rheumatism and Other Troubles Over come. i "I firmly believe that if I had got ten hold of Tanlac three years ago I would have been saved the awful suf fering I had to endure besides the hundreds of dollars I paid out for stuff that did me no good," said J. E. Wilson of Llnnton, Or, while in Portland the other day. "I suffered from rheumatism and stomach trouble for about three years, and for weeks at a time was scarcely able to do my work. My. appetite was very poor and I was able to eat only little more than enough to keep me goings My liver and stomach were all out of order, and I would bloat up .ith gas which so affected my heart that I thought I had heart trouble, and was so short of breath that I could hardly walk up a little hill from the mill to the road.

Sixteen members of the farmer-labor party have been appointed on Yakima county election boards by the county commissioners on request of ' party leaders. that really prolongs his suffering by keeping him away from the intelli gent, sensible treatment that will get results. He endeavors to get relief from the pain and torture by the use of ointments, lotions and other local treatment applied to the surface of the skin. These remedies will prove bene ficial, if temporary relief is all that is wanted. But just as soon as their soothing effect is over, the pain and suffering return with increased sever ity. This has been the experience ot other sufferers, and yours will be the same. Skin disorders, like other ailments, must be treated at their source if you want to be permanently rid o them. Any disease that can cause so much torture and discomfort is deep seated, and comes from far below the surface of the skin. The millions of tiny disease germs must be removed from the blood be fore you can expect to get rid of your skin troubles, but all ' of the local treatment In the world will not do this. The most satisfactory remedy for this purpose is S.S.S., the fine old vegetable blood remedy that has given such splendid results in similar cases. S.S.S. acts by cleansing the blood thoroughly and routing all disease germs that act through the skin. Those who want real results ehould begin its use at once. S.S.S. is sold by all druggists.
