The four presidents of American
republics I have interviewed during?
tii n ist lrht months represent en
t.rely distinct types in political
thrtiic-Kt an1 artmn. The heads of
these American democracies, chosen
hy processes quite dissimilar to those
which elevate men to monarcnia
thrones, are much closer to the peo
ple over whom they exercise cxecu
live authority conferred by the peo
nl themselves.
Woodrow Wilson Is tnereiore iypi-
r.-U of the North American republic,
frtr better known and much more re-
siifHpd than any monarch of Europe,
Because of the conspicuous part
piayed by him in the great trapedy
of world-wide war, he is regarded as
one of the very great men developed
1 y democratic conditions in the west
ern hemisphere.
Xattona Honor Wllaoa.
Domestic political considerations
.To not count for much In the ap
protsement of Mr. Wilson's qualities
.is an humanitarian and executive In
the opinions of the leaders of public
thought In many of the American
republics In Central and South Amer
ica. He has won and held his place
in their affections and esteem. His
pissing from the presidency of the
I nited Stat' s after eicht years of
world turmoil is viewed by these men
is an incident that does not affect
md cannot Impair the lasting hold
he has secured on the popular imag
ination of the peoples of the iv
American republics.
This is my conclusion after discuss
ing the value and appreciation of the
service rendered by Woodrow Wilson
with Kpitacio I'essoa. president of
lie United States of Brazil: Kaltasir
F'.rum. president of the republic of
L'rusuay, and Jiipollto IriKOyen. ex
jcrutive of the Argentine Republic. In
"he estimation of each of these men.
Woodrow Wilson, by his insistence
ipon the cardinal principles of democ
racy, has reflected the very hiphest
credit upon all the republics of tne
western hemisphere. They believe for
ne thing that he has compelled Euro
Joan nations to entertain preater ra-
pect for the republics of the Ameri
cas than previously existed.
HUtory'a Verdict Trained.
Some of them do not. of course,
lgree with Mr. Wilson's standards;
i few of them are not wholly In ac
;ord with the policy of the United
States regarding the Monroe doc
rine, but every one of the three ex
ecutives with whom I have discussed
rr. Wilson expressed the greatest
idmiration for his lofty motives and
redict the vindication of them with
.he passing of time.
This was the outstanding feature
ef the interview which the president
if the Argentine republic granted
ne, and the substance of which I
jabled from Buenos Aires.
A very strunge personality is this
man, Hipolito Irigoyen. His as
cendency to the presidency was ac
complished under circumstnaces more
nearly approximating the standards
it democracy of the United States
han that of any other executive of
rhe central or South American republics.
Toilers' Cause Rsponsed.
His enemies described him es an
jrmadUla. which rolls himielf into a
ball to resist attack. Upon assuming
office Irigoyen played the "no favor
ite game." The toilers of the cities
and the care-free gauchos of the
'camp." as the pampas are called,
claimed him for their own. The
wealthy and better classes (for there
exists pronounced class distinctions in
the Argentine) frankly regarded him
as an enemy, and do to this day. He
sided with the "under dog." He-acted
with boldness and after deliberation
and usually without explanation.
I was informed that Senor Irigoyen
did not receive newspaper represent
atives, due to an unfortunate expe
rience with an American journalist
a couple of years ago. The fact that
the Argentine president agreed to
receive me was probably due to the
?ood offices of Senor Del Valle, the
distinguished editor of La Epoca, one
of the few newspapers In Buenos
Aires that support his administra
tion. The day before I was received
at the Casa Itosada Senor Del Valle
asked me if I would not like to talk
to the president. I replied that I
should very much like to do so. but
that I had been informed that Senor
Irigoyen did not receive newspaper
writers.
The next day Mr. Colby Informed
me that the president would receive
me In the Casa Rosada at 4 o'clock.
I was warned by newspaper asso
ciates that my experience would not
Oe agreeable. Their prophecy was
not correct. I liked the Argentine
president very much, and he seemed
to like me. He gripped my hand" with
both of his and put his arm around
toy shoulder as I was leaving. At
ny rate, he approved without change
of the text of the interview that I
wrote from memory and gave me a
message of friendship to the Ameri
can people.
The reception accorded Mr. Colby
cy 'resident Irigoyen was all thay
ouiu De aesirea. ine presidents
critics informed the secretary that
lienor Irigoyen was not friendly to
the United States and would not re
ceive htm. That prophecy was also
incorrect.
Senor Irigoyen not only received
Mr. Colby at the Casa Rosada, but the
Text day he came down to the Plaza
lictel and spent an hour with the
American secretary of state. Mr.
Colby subsequently informed me that
he had never been accorded any more
genuinely cordial welcome.
Brum Constantly Alert.
Next to Irigoyen the executive who
made the, deepest impression on me
was Baltasar Brum, the young and
Vrogressive president of Uruguay,
which in tabloid form is the most ad
vanced of the southern republics and
one in which socialistic doctrines
have been adapted to the needs of the
country with practical benefits.
The president of the oriental re
public of Uruguay looks like Mas
or cut. the Italian composer, and pos
sesses something of the dynamic force
of the lat'- Colonel Roosevelt. He is
S.". years eld, was born in one of the
Interior provinces and was a full
fledged lawyer before the law permit
ted him to practice. He is an enthu
siastic student of world affairs and is
constantly on the alert for features
of government that will improve the
conditions of his country.
X found the- young
president a very likable man and
thoroughly absorbed in the working
out of the experiments which hi
country Is making in the line of gov
ernmenL The project nearest his
heart Is a "league of American na
tions. He advocated that even ne
fore his .election, and it has become
known throughout South America as
the "Brum Pan-American Doctrine.'
Pessoa Fares Problems.
Dr. Epilacio Pessoa, the third of
the South American presidents to
grant me an interview, is probably
confronted with many more difficult
problems than either Hipolito Irigo
yen or Baltasar Brum. Of his sin
cere friendship for the United States
I was convinced before I had been
with him five minutes. While wait
lng in the anteroom of the presiden
trial palace at Kio de Janeiro a scru
tiny of his lihrary prepared me for
the surprisingly wide degree of fa
m'liarity on his part with American
affairs.
In the bookcases that 'lined the
spacious apartment, that was more
Italian than Spanish in general fea
tures, I found a'great many Ameri
can works of an unusual character.
There were the debates between
Stephen A. Douglas and Lincoln, the
state papers of Henry Clay, the
works of Woodrow Wilson, the mes
sages of Mr. Cleveland, the trial of
Andrew Johnson and the state papers
of James Monroe. John Adams, and
the speeches of Elihu Root on South
American affairs.
Dr. Tessoa is a small, thin, wiry
man, two or three shades darker than
olther Hipolito Irigoyen or Baltasar
Brum. At first glance he suggests
the type of some of the better known
members of the United States sea
ate. His features are small, of t
dark olive tint, his eyes anlnte!l!ger.t
brown, his hair and musache blac.t
streaked with gray. He speaks Eng
lish slowly, but comprehensively,
though he is a linguist of exceptional
ability.
Wilson Counted Friend.
Dr. Pessoa has been a keen ari l
appreciative student of North Amer!
can conditions. He and President
Wilson became very friendly during
the Paris peace conference, and the
Brazilian president was elected ex
ecutive of his country while serving
n that capacity. He stopped over in
Washington to call on his North
American friend.
Mr. Wilson, being unable to return
the call, requested Mr. Colby to repre
sent him in doing so. Dr. I'essoa ex
ressed unalloyed appreciation at what
he described as the very great honor
paid his country by President V1
on, "who has been a sincere and
genuine friend of Brazil throughout
his career.
Dr. I'essoa is an ardent advocate of
he Monroe doctrine. He takes an
Ptlmi.-tic view of the future of hi
country. When the educational plan
e has In mind are worked out he
elieve9 that his people will respond
o the advantages of education much
more readily than has been true in
he past.
He told me that the people of Brazil
old out a sincere welcome to th
people of North America, and frankly
Unutted that he would like to hav
many thousands of American cit
ens and their families come here to
ve and help develop the most won
erful country in the world.

TTniformerl -nolice vesterday stopped
a scheduled meeting at Hibernian hall,
340 Russell street, at which Irwin St.
John Tucker, imported radical ana
advocate of'the Rassian soviet, waa to
have been the principal speaker.
In compliance with an appeal irom
the board of directors or tne Ancieni
Order of Hiberninns, owner of the
huildinir. Police Captain Moore sent
six uniformed police under sergeant
Brothers to deny Tucker and his fol
lowers entrance into the building.
There was no demonstration of any
kind near the hall. As soon as the
prospective auditors were notified
there would be no meeting, they
gathered in. small groups about the
street corners for a short time and
then moved away. The owners of the
building posted a large notice on the
front door, notifying the radicals
there would be no meeting, and that
he building would remain securely
locked throughout the day.
Hall Heated by Janitor.
Denial of use of the building to
the Portland Civil Liberty union
which stood sponsor for the Tucker
meeting, was ordered by the board
of directors of the order after it had
been apprised of the nature of the
talk which it was planned to give.
In support of the stand taken by
the Hibernians, D. W. Lane, secre
tary of the order, said that the hall
had been rented by the janitor of the
building, but the rental had not been
sanctioned by the board of directors.
In all cases, the janitor is author
ized to rent the building, subject to
the approval of the board of direc
tors," Mr. Lane said. "It is simply
case wherein the board declined to
carry out the tentative rental as
made by the janitor."
The Liberty union was notified by
the board of this action, but in order
that, there might be no disturbance
of any kind the police bureau was
requested to send police to the build
ing to watch it during the afternoon.
Hibernians Oppose Radicals.
Tucker, who spoke here a -couple
of weeks ago with Lincoln Steffens
at Columbia hall. Second and Oak
streets, was scheduled to give an ad
dress on "Shall Russia Perish?" In
denying the use of the hall to the
radical speaker and his cohorts, mem
bers of the order said they were not
In sympathy with these radical Ideas
and would not countenance meetings
held by these persons in their build
ir.g on Washington b birthday anni
versary, or any other time.
Members of the liberty union Indi
cated that the refusal to permit them
more difficult because of the fact that
the face is almost entirely destroyed,
Probably by predatory animals.
Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Tweedie, who
reside nearby., the former an em
ploye of the Shell Oil company, told
police and deputy sheriffs that they
had within the last week heard no
noise or commotion or even the
engine of an automobile, which might
have been driven to within a few feet
of where the body was found.
Suicide Theories Scooted.
Suicide theories, first advanced
after discovery of the stranger, were
scouted by Mr. Goetsch, who was in
strumental in taking steps last night
to investigate.
Careful efforts were made by au
thorities to find the pistol with which
the murder was accomplished but no
trace of a weapon could be found.
Laundry marks found uPon the two
handkerchiefs of the man are 303 and
R-l, while the coat, vest and trousers
bear the mark 25, obviously of some
cleaning and pressing establishment.
At first investigators believed that
the unidentified man was listed as
missing by the sheriff's office but a
careful check of police and county
records failed to strengthen this
theory. ,
Woman Visits Spot.
"Within the knowledge of the au
thorities the last person to be in the
immediate vicinity of the crime, with
the exception of Mrs. Feldman and
the 12 campfire girls, was Mrs. M. E.
Smith of the 705 Davis Street apart
ments, whos mother, Mrs. Hoffman,
owns the property.
Mrs. Smith said last night she had
visited tBe place In the early after
noon, about 2 o'clock; that she had
entered her summer home, which ad
joins her mother's, and that after
resting a few moments she had driven
her automobile back to the city.
She had acted,' ehe said, as one of
the clerks in the city water bonds
election which had been held yester
day by residents of the district.
Her husband told police and deputy
sheriffs that he had worked at the
summer place last Saturday and had
drawn water by means of the elec
tric pump which la located within but
a few feet of the place where the
body was found. He said that he was
near the tree beneath which the body
rested, but had seen nothing unusual.
All Pockets Ransacked.
The theory as advanced last night
by those detailed to the case depends
upon the belief that the man was
murdered to gain possession of what
ever valuables he might have had.
The only article of jewelry found
was a nugget tie pin, wnicn was
held securely In position and which
had not been torn away during the
supposed death struggle.

Foster road to Johnson creek along
Ninety-second street at an estimated

Mrs; Forrest outlined the develop

She said that it was not'until during

'Women may not be well equipped
to handle political affairs at the

America is to be obtained and main
tained by women."

the mans head during the fight or
having been thrown there after the
killing.
Police hold the theory that whoever
committed the crime was either under
the influence of liquor, or was actu-
the j ated by a x:onsumingr anger, as only
one of the shots fired was necessary
to kill, according to physicians.
Seepage of blood on the ground
led authorities to the opinion that
the body had been immediately car
ried to that point or had been brought
there soon after-the shooting, as the
blood had coagulated into a thick
mass and had sunk to a depth of sev
eral inches in the soft ground.
Identification of the victim is made
It is the belief of detectives th
the man was killed upon the spo

blood stains upon the man s clothes.
All pockets of the dead man s gar

His complete description Is: Aged
from 25 to 30 years: height, five feet

Hippocrates was the father of
medicine, all right enough, but the
old Grecian savant was not at all
above practicing a little quackery
now and again, declared Dr. W. E.
Musgrave of San Francisco, repre
senting the recently organized league
for the conservation of public health,
in an off-hand interview given
shortly after his arrival in Portland
yesterday.
"The league Is simple in principle
and there is nothing mysterious about
it." said Dr. Musgrave. who is in
charge of the department for the
advancement of medical education
and hospitals. "It holds that the
health of any community is its most
important public utility, and is
organized for the unselfish purpose
of promoting better public health.
"I visited three Portland hospitals;
Good Samaritan, St. Vincent's and
Emanuel and advised with those in
charge. The purpose of my visit Is
to look over the hospital field and
try to help your medical men and
public-spirited citizens to better
hospital conditions. This does not
imply destructive criticism. We do
not grade hospitals as good or bad,
but seek to help those who are run
ning them, 60 that hospital service
Is Improved. I cannot emphasize too
strongly this point the purpose of
the league is constructive, not de
structive. "Necessarily the league Is brought
into the social and political field.
Any legislation or any movement
purporting to be for the public health
or welfare, that is shown to be genu
ine and capable of attaining its end,
has the endorsement of the league.
In California Just now we are In
terested in amendments to seven
measures before the legislature. One
of these concerns the safeguarding
of the public through requirements
concerning medical education. We
are not fighting any particular prac
tice of medicine, providing that prac
tice is properly carried out by honest
men who have been properly edu
cated in cause and treatment of
disease. If they are so qualified we
do not care what their treatment
may be. They may advise their
patients to stand on their heads and
not a complaint will be registered by
the league."
Dr. Musgrave will deliver a public
address tonight at 8 o'clock in the
auditorium of Lincoln high school,
following a- dinner for all Portland
medical men at the Benson hotel.
The subject of his .address will be
"Better Hospitals and Better Public
Health."

at the time of the last fair, went
on record against the games oi
chance operated in connection with
the event. These games, however,
were Innocent in comparison with
open gambling which you now desire
to foist on the people of this state."
Senator Staples said he understood
that at least three members of the
state fair board were lobbying for
the passage of this bill. This, he
said, did not appeal to many persons
in Oregon.
Senator Eddy, too, took: exception
to the proponents of the measure and
declared that it was not the purpose
of the people of Oregon to appropriate
its funds to educate the young; in

"This bill Is camouflaged by riv

Senator Moser, after glancing his
eye about the chamber in expectancy
that some other proponent of the
measure wonld succor the responsi
bility of explaining its provisiona,
declared that the bill was not as
vicious as it had been painted.

reached the age of 20 he had mas
tered the art of telegraphy and taken
position at Holly Spring. Miss., in
the office there of the Mississippi
Central railroad.
When the civil wor began he en
tered the military railway service.
His work here attracted the atten
tion of his superiors, and after the
fall of Fort Donelson and the battle
of Shiloh he was transferred to Jack
son, Tenn., as master of transporta
tion on all military roads in the
occupied districts of the south.
At the close of the war he became
freight agent at Louisville for the
Louisville & Nashville railroad, which
at that time was operating less than
00 miles of line. Three years later
he was advanced to the post of gen
eral freight agent-
Mr. Smith's service with the Louis
ville & Nashville continued with but
one interruption until his death. He
was offered and accepted the post of
general freight agent for the Balti
more & Ohio railroad, a place he
held for three years. His next post
was general agent for the Pennsyl
vania lines at New York, which he
held until he went back to the Louis
ville & Nashville as chief operating
officer, with the title of vice-president,
January 1, 1S82. The title of
president at that time waa held by
the chief financial officer.
In 1883 during a financial crisis
he received the title of president, but
1886 the precedent of investing
the chief financial officer with the
ule of president was resumed, Mr.
Smith again assuming the title of
vice-president. In 1891 he was again
given the title of president and the
chief financial officer vested with
the title of chairman of the board.
GAMBLING BILL IS TABLED
NEW YORK, Feb. 2?: That "in due
time Judge Landls will devote all of
his talent and energy exclusively to
baseball." was the belief expressed by
J. A. Heydler. president, of the Na
tional league, in a statement tonight
criticising the men who seek his im
peachment.
Judge Landis' decision to remain on
the bench, he said, waa that of the
judge himself and "not by request
of the basebaH people."
"When a public man makes a state
ment that baseball Is paying a big
salary to Judge Landis in the nature
of a bribe." the statement saia. mat
man is either wilfully misrepresenting
the situation or he is ignorant of
the facts. Today there are only two
cases before the courts In which Base
ball as a whole is concerned. Judge
Landis has had nothing to do with the
inceDtion or conduct of either, nos
will he have anything to do wltn
their future conduct or determination
from a judicial standpoint.
After asserting Representative Wei
ty, author of the impeachment resolu
tion, had failed to make plain tnat
the decision of the federal district
court in Washington, in declaring
baseball a combination in violation
nf the Sherman act. had been reversed
bv the court of appeals, Mr. Heydler
added that baseball had been fighting
for years to have its status definitely
established by the United States su
preme court. Baseball men contended,
he explained, that baseball does not
constitute trade or commerce, that
the game is not a trade but a sport
and that the reserve clause in the
players' contract is legal.

TAX LEVY IS ENORMOUS
Revision of Lane County Rolls Will
' Save $141,550.33.
ALBANY, Or., Feb. 22. (Special.)
It was discovered that the amoun
levied on the Linn county tax roll for
1920 exceeded the ilmlted Increase o
6 per cent over last year's levy, and
it will be necessary to eliminate
1141.550.33 from the roll before the
collection of taxes can begin.
The roll was practically ready for
collection when the error was found
and to amend it will require approxl
rcatelv 22.000 changes.
As a result of this change the
county levy will be 22.2 mills instead
of 26.7 mills. County taxes last year
amounted to J285.T73.63. Adding the
6 per cent increase, the largest
amount which could be raised this
year would be $302,920.04. The amount
levied and which had been extended
on the roll was $444,470.30.
