10. TIIE MOItXIXG OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, 3IARCII 14, 1921 ICE HOARDERS Bf PRICE DECLINE California Crop Holders Face Heavy Losses. EXPORT TRADE BLOCKED Domestic Markets Are Also Belnj Undersold by Crops of South era Slates, Reported. SAN FRANCISCO. March 13. (Spe cial.) California rice growers were not satisfied with the price they could fret for their product last year, so they decided to hold it. hoping values would increase. Now efforts are be ing1 made to have a large quantity of it shipped to China at a price of 50 cents a bag less than the cost of growing-. Some of the growers are protesting that the fall in price was due to ma nipulation on the part of the millers. They have even gone so far as to at tempt to have millers arrested. This was not successful. The whole rice situation in Califor nia today forms a useful lesson to those producers of food and other necessities who believe In creating an artificial shortage for the purpose of foroing up the price. California produced about 4.000,000 bags of rice in 1920. Italn damaged fcbeut 800.000 bags, leaving 3,200,000 bags to be marketed. iraln la Held. Growers were , urged last October to sell their crops as quickly as they were harvested, because foreign rices were not available in large quantities until January. It would have been possible to export twice the amount ot rice that actually was exported, but the growers would not release the grain. The price of California rice is de pendent upon, first, the condition of the market in the southern rice-growing section of the United States, the size of the crop and the opportunity for an export outlet for its surplus; second, foreign rice, against which the export surplus of California and southern rices must be sold in foreign countries. The annual consumption of rice In the United States is only about one third of the production, so that about two-thirds of the American rice crop must be sold in foreign countries, in competition with crops from India, Siam, Saigon. Brazil and Japan. The Pacific coast only consumes about one-fourth of the California crop. With the harvesting of the for ign crop all export business is elimi nated on account of low prices, eo that the eastern American market of fers the only solution. California Growers Blocked. The California rice growers are again blocked there, as the southern rice is selling at a lower price than California rice can be delivered for. In New York, for instance, southern rice is quoted at 3.85, with California at Jo. 75. In Denver the southern rice is $4.10, compared with J6.15 for Cali fornia, and this comparison is approx imately borne out throughout the country. Today southern rice Is invading the Pacific coast markets In direct com petition with California rice. The southern grain is quoted In San Fran cisco at J4.50, compared with $5.25 for California rice. One million bags, or nearly one third of the California crop that was in marketable condition, is still un sold. Arrangements have been made with various banks throughout the rice territory for loans to the grow ers of not more than $2 a bag to tide them over their difficulties. HOOD RIVER "WORKERS PROM ISE AID TO COMMUNITY-. Education and Welfare Twin Aims of Organization Radical Tendency Rapped. HOOn RIVER. Or., May 13.(Spe cial.) That workers of Hood River who recently received a charter of the American Federation of Labor, plan on making their unUn, although the youngest of the state, an exem plary one through co-operative efforts for education and community welfare, was the statement of speakers at a union mass meeting held at River side community church today. Dewey Alford, presiding officer of the local organization, urged that all members iKe their influence in suppressing at once any uprising of radicalism. Chief speakers of the occasion were C. O. Young, general org-anizer of the American Federation, and Otto C. Hartwig, state president. Mr. Hart wig declared the chief aims of or ganized labor did not consist of more pay and shorter hours, but that one of the fundamental principles of the movement was an effort for better education and an equalization of the burdens of humanity. He character ized organized labor as the humane society for humans. "Democracy is a hollow form with out education," declared Mr. Young, who asserted that labor unions had to a large degree created public schools. He asserted that more young people attend high schools in organized labor districts than elsewhere. 100 Children Sing Concert in Public Auditorium. FINELY sung choruses by 100 children from the Peninsula pub lic school, organ solos by William Robinson Boone, and violin solos by Laurens Lawson, violinist, formed the concert yesterday afternoon, in the public auditorium. The event was decidedly attractive from a musical sense, and it warrant ed a larger audience, but only 557 persons bought tickets the third smallest audience since the season started October 10, 1920. The weath er yesterday was ideal for an indoor concert: rain and no big baseball game. These concerts are attended largely by family parties, and some patrons say that many friends who do not live in the central portion of the city would attend these events, but are debarred by costs of street car fare and increase in public taxes. Manager White, of the public au ditorium, said that the Sunday after noon concert series probnMy will be closed for the season about April 10, and maybe sooner. The pipe organ solos played by Mr. i Organ and Violin Soloa Moke Ip Succesaful Programme. Boone were a treat to hear, and were wisely chosen, to meet the tastes of a popular audience. Mr. Boone has a quiet, dlpnified seat, while playing the big auditorium pipe organ, even when playing the pedals and it is a good music lesson to watch him. His rendition of the Schubert "March Mil- Haire" was especially admired. The chorus sin-ping of the Penin sula school children, boyB and girls, has much to commend it for enthu siasm, ensemble, and attention to the conductor in his efforts to inculcate good expression. The voices In the chorus were clear, and of pretty qual ity. The child singers were chosen from grades 6b to 8b. W. A. Petteys was conductor, and he showed compe tent musical pkill in that position. The children did not sing the usual national songs, but many selections that are not ordinarily rendered, such as "To the Hermit Thrush" (Tosti) and "Fair Napoli" (a folk tune). The child singers were first Introduced by a novel procedure, not down on the programme. Mr. Boone was recalled to play an organ solo.-and he started to play the tune "Adeste Fideles," which was then sung, behind the scenes, softly, in pianissimo effect, by the children's voices. It had an up lifting, spiritual effect. A boy named Laurens Lawson played in excellent style and with fine tone, several violin solos and ha to play several extra numbers, greatly did he please the audience. The piano accompanist was Miss Helen Shaw. II. S. ENlfiTS Fill RECOGNITION TO CONSUL RE FUSED BY GOVERNMENT. Action Ties Up Port So Far American Shipments Are Concerned Now. TRIESTE. March 13. William Keb linger, American consul to Fiume, left that city today for Trieste to await instructions from the state de partment at Washington. He was refused recognition by the Fiume government. Dr. Antonio Grosslch, provisional head of Fiume, eaid to Mr. Keblinger "We were surprised at this action by your government in asking us to recognize you and protect you when the United States had not recognized us." It is learned Consul Keblinger's in etructions were that he was to make plain that his establishment 'of a con sulate was not to be construed as recognition of the government, bu that the American cousulate was there ready to carry on consular business. Mr. Keblinger occupied the post when D Annunzlo entered r lume. He was forced to leave. Refusal of the Flume authorities to recognize the consul ties up the port so far as American shipments are concerned. Dr. Grossich and Foreign Minister Springetti were cordial to Mr. Keb linger, saying: "We must assure you that there is nothing personal about this, but the diplomatic relations existing between our government and yours do not .per mit us to recognize you. Establishment of a permanent gov ernment is still in a chaotic state. The provisional government has again postponed the elections. Factional differences are marked by most bitter enmities. Italian carabineers are still policing the town; there is occa sional street flrhting between the an nexationists and the autonomists. HARDING RESTS SUNDAY Crofid Waits to See at Church. President WASHINGTON'. March 13. Presi dent Harding today cast aside the cares of office and rested.

The church was crowded, word hav ir spread that Mr. Harding would attend the services, and hundreds, un able to gain admittance, waited out side to get a glimpse of him. Doctor J. S. Durkee, president of Howard university, occupied the pul pit. During- an afternoon of almost summer-like weather, Mr. Harding took advantage of the first real op portunity to get acquainted with his surroundings at the White House. Apartment Homes Robbed. The apartment house homes of II. C. Gregg, 553 Everett street, and D. D. Dale. 711 Glisan street, were reported robbed last night.

CREW HANGED Mutiny Plotted by Descendants of Buccaneers of Old Causes Repealed Attacks. NEW YORK, March S. The log of the good ship Polar Star Is a tale of mutiny and murder, of man hunts In crocodile-infested rivers and shots fired In the abysmal darkness of tropical sea. It is the story of the heroism of two Irish sailors, one of whom paid for his daring and fidel ity with his life, and the yarn of two Spanish pirates. In whose veins raced the blood of buccaneers of old, who were hanged on a scaffold when th hot sun of the West Indies beat down upon them mercilessly. When United States customs of ficials under the supervision of Al bert O. Hokensen raided the Pola Star its skipper. Captain George Lunde. was not surprised. A quan tity of material was seized on the charge that it 'was not listed on tn shin's manifest. The captain was di rected to explain this to District At torney Ross. He said the explana tion would be simple, and then un folded a tale of the sea with all the thrills that comes oftener in fiction than on the quarter deck. Crew Is Polyglot. The Polar Star is owned by the New York & Argentine line. With.n nine months it has traveled from Portland. Me., to Norfolk, and then tn St Thomai. Buenos Aires and Hambursr. In its crew of 45 men li nationalities were representee mere were SDaniarda Swedes, Frenchmen, Englishmen. Irishmen, Slavs, Italians, South Americans. Algierians, Chinese, Finns, Yankees. Hungarians, Portu guese and seamen from other coun ries. The decks of the Polar Star were as cosmopolitan as the streets of Cairo. Several months ago. while en route to Portland. Me., from Europe, Spanish fireman caught his arm in hoist ami it was broken in tnret nlaces. The first officer, Gus Atkin son. bv crude surgery, treatea me injured member. But the fireman instead of beinir grateful, grumbled because several of his friends toia him that the first officer cheated him out of J10.000 damages by fixing the arm. Ill-Feeling; Breaks Out. At Portland. Me., an anonymous letter sent to port officials resulted the arrest of Atkinson on false charges, but he was released. The Polar Star sailed to Norfolk and to the West Indies, all the time with an undercurrent of ill-feeling between most of the crew and the ship's officers. At St. Thomas Officer Atkinson surprised several or nis sailors creeping stealthily on the deck at night, and he fired into the air. The seamen ran DacK into tneir Quarters and urged the crew to mu tinv. kill the captain and first officer and take over the ship, it is alleged William Doherty of Philadelphia and William Donahue of Brooklyn counseled against such a rash move. Doherty was stabbed when he tried to hold the door. Donahue saw that pposition was useless, and ran up he . gangway, hoping to warn the fficers. He was stabbed four times nd his right eye was cut out, but he valliant Irishman fought his way to the quarters of the captain and gave the alarm. He died shortly fterwards. The officers, aided by few loyal Bailors, chased back the mutineers and the two alleged ring leaders, Jesus Gonzales and Jose Fon- seca, leaped into the harbor. Both Men FunMied. Searchlights from boats played on he waters of St. Thomas bay, but the men escaped. order was restored board the Polar Star, guns were confiscated and with the absence of the leaders Captain Lur.de hoped for the best. Marines in St. Thomas searched the hills in armored cars for onzales and Fonseca and after three days found the former. A few iiays later , marines suddenly came upon Fonseca in the dead of ight and he jumped into a shallow river frequented by crocodiles and deadly reptiles. The marines rushed n after the fugitive and fished him ut of the infested stream. Gonzales nd Fonseca were tried by court-mar- al and hanged. The Polar Star continued on her troubled way to Buenos Aires. The rew were not outwardly defiant, but many times shots were fired at the rst officer from the deck at night. Efforts to trace these shots were un availing. Crew Is Weeded Out. At Buenos Aires several of the old rew were dropped and the ship pro ceeded on its way to Hamburg, Blocks and heavy rope and gear were nloosed often and fell at the feet of Atkinson. His life was in a state of onstant jeopardy, Captain Lunde de clared. At Hamburg- some of the sailors eserted. On the return trip to New ork the enmity against the first officer had not abated. Upon the arrival of-the Polar Star at Brooklyn ier the ship was raided. 'I have sailed the seven seas, but ever before have I been up against uch hard luck," said Captain Lunde. But the skipper is unafraid. If he traiehtens out the manifest trouble with the customs officials and takes n another cargo he will sail again nd let the winds howl as they may. Pacific Coast Shipping Xotes. PORT TOWN'SEND. Wash., March 13. (Special.) With general cargo loaded at Tacoma and Seattle and a shipment of dynamite loaded from a barge off West Point, the steamer Derblay sailed this morning for the West Coast. The Standard Oil tanker W.
