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.

The church was crowded, word hav
ir spread that Mr. Harding would

able to gain admittance, waited out
side to get a glimpse of him.
Doctor J. S. Durkee, president of

pit. During- an afternoon of almost
summer-like weather, Mr. Harding
took advantage of the first real op

Menace of Death Pursues
Polar Star Officers.
TWO OF. 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.

railroad lines.

Literature
A piece of advertising litera
ture should be so clear and
so definitely from the cus
tomer's side of the fence that
he can see his gain RIGHT
OFF THE BAT.
Some of the literature we prepare
presents the proposition so clearly
that you can actually get the meat
of it quicker from the literature
than you can by having the pro
position explained to you orally.
And that is ONE GOOD TEST
of good advertising literature.
