DALLAS, Or., Dec. 15. (Special.)
Rev. Donald A. Mackenzie, pastor of
the Presbyterian church in this city.
today pronounced a vitrolic letter ad
dressed to the Signs of the Times and
appearing in the Liberty, a Washing
ton (D. C.) publication, over his al
leged signature, a forgery. The let
ter, written by an unidentified person,
attacked the liberal Sunday attitude
toward amusements and purported to
have been written following the de
feat last summer in Dallas of a
measure designed to close motion-
picture theaters on Sunday.
Rev. Mr. Mackenzie declared today
that the Masonic lodge of Dallas had
investigated the authenticity of the
letter and as a result of the inquiry
had exonerated him from all sus
picion of writing it, although it bore
his name.
Mr. Mackenzie -said that the author
of the letter had not been traced. He
said the letter had not been published
by the Signs of the Times and its pub
lication in the Liberty at Washing
ton came as a complete surprise to
him. .

Rents and Food Go Vp Instead of
Down in Washington.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Dec 15. Votes for resi
dents of the District of Columbia are
more remote Just now than for some
years, it would seem. The reason for
this is found in present economic con
dltions. Rents and food have climbed
steadily higher and higher here.
while everything, particularly food,
as slumped throughout the rest of
the country.
Residents of Washington are
blamed for the exorbitant prices be
cause the merchant and landlord
class constitute a large part of the
population of the city. Of the 440,000
inhabitants of Washington 150.000 or
more are non-residents who are com
pelled to be here most of the year be
cause this city is the seat of the na
tional government.
When members of congress re
turned for the present session they
found that rents on apartments and
dwellings had in many instances
doubled in price and some had gone
even higher, hence the reluctance of
lawmakers to place any more power
in the hands of Washington residents.

Dr. Wellington Koo of the Chinese
delegation reviewed the efforts made
by China during more than a cen

recognized, he said, the great debt of
gratitude China owed the United
States for America's aid in this work
He was particularly pleased, he said,
that the committee had decided the
United States should be especially
invited to send a representative to
meet the advisory committee.
The committee s suggestions were
adopted and the subject of the "white

The propositions regarding this
traffic are that the countries which
