Arain!t and 58(14 For.
The world war veterans' bonus and
loan amendment, it is indicated by
early and scattering returns, has car
ried all quarters ofthe state. While
In the up-state counties the propor
tionate indorsement is not so heavy,
apparently, as in Multnomah county,
the amendment has been strongly ap
proved. Partial returns from 15 counties, of
which Multnomah fs one, give a total
for the bonus amendment of . 11,231,
with only 3098 against it.
Partial returns from the same coun
ties show that the amendment length
ening the legislative session to 60
days and increasing pay of the mem
bers to to a day has again ben de
feated. The vote stands: Yes 5170;
ISo 7204.
Veto Amendment Favored.
The amendment giving the gover
nor power to veto the mergency
clause in legislative enactments has
apparently carried. The partial rer
turns give the following figures: Yes
7552, No 4121.
Returns so far received idlcate $he
defeat of the hygienic marriage bill.
Mere and there a county seems to
have approved the measure, but on
the whole the up-state vote gives a
majority against the measure equiva
lent in the aggregate to that regis
tered against it in Multnomah county.
The vote so far as counted: Yes 5864,
No 7579.
Women Jurors In Doubt.
The closest vote on any measure is
that recorded on the bill extending
an optional right to women to serve
on Juries. This measure, which seems
to have carried in Multnomah county
by a good vote, has a very slight mar
gin for it in the total for the other
fourteen counties from which returns
have been received.
Whereas the bill has an affirma
tive majority in the incomplete count
of Multnomah of 1046, when, the vote
in the other counties is Included the
majority is increased only 55 votes.

Select Fruit Retails From 5 to
Cents, and 91.25 to $1.50 a
Crate of 2 4 Boxes.
Strawberries are down to pre-war
prices, and unless the Oregon grow
ers find a shipping outlet for the bulk
of the crop now coming to the mar
ket the fruit will be selling in the
next few days at prices lower than
for many years past.
Canneries which - usually take the
surplus of the crop are not operating
this year. Production Is larger than
for several years and the home mar.
kets do not seem able to take care of
all the fruit.
At the Yamhill market strawber
ries sold yesterday at from 5 to . 8
cents a box. The general price was
two boxes for 15 cents. Overripe and
sunburned berries "went at sx boxes
for a quarter. By the crate of 24
boxes, prices ranged from $1.25 to
11.50, according to quality.
In Front street only shipping ber
ries are handled to any extent at this
time of the year, when the crop from
near-by points is being marketed, as
city retailers either have their supply
shipped to them by growers or pur
chase what they need in the farmers'
early market on the east side. Front
street prices, therefore, happened to
be higher than In the Yamhill market,
ranging from $1.25 to $1.75 a crate.
Nearly three carloads were shipped
to Puget- sound and Grays Harbor
points In the afternoon, and this
cleaned up the surplus supply.
In an effort to relieve the growers'
situation the berry growers' associa
tion of Hubbard, which recently was
organized to . handle the email-fruit
crop, has made arrangements with the
city marketmaster to sell strawber
ries to consumers at the Yamhill
market today. A space has been set
apart on the south side of the .street,
between Fourth and Fifth streets,
and a retail price of 95 cent a crate
established.
This price, according to association
officials, win hold good for three
days. To prevent wholesalers from
cornering the supply a limit' of. five
crates to a single person has been
fixed. The association has invited
other, growers to Join in the selling
plan.

SEVEN MEN ESCAPE JAIL
Klamath Falls Prisoners Cut Bars
and Get Away.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., June 7.
(bpeclaL) Seven of the 13 prisoners
cenfjned in the city and county Jail
escaped some time after 1 o'clock
this morning after sawing the 5ars
irom one of the Jail windows.
The fugitives are Albert Murkle
and Walter Highland, alleged moon
shiners; Ed. Jones, accused of rob
bery; Arthur Slavls. burglary; Frank
Rodriguez, forgery; James Eastman,
oogus cneck passing, and FrecU
owager.
A. C. Elliott, recently arrested near
Bray, CaL, on a moonshining charge,
was one of the six who remained in
Jail. Elliott said he was too large
to crawl throtjgh the opening and
the prisoners who had the saw re
fused to remove another bar.
Incomplete returns from 92 'pre
cincts out of 413 in Multnomah coun
ty show that the soldiers' bonus bill
has carried at a ratio of about four
to one."
This was the most importanfTmeas
ure submitted on the state lallot in
the special election held yesterday.
Notwithstanding the widespread ef
fect this measure will have upon the
taxpayers of the state and all of the
former service men, there was ap
proximately only 40 per cent of the
registered vote cast in the 12 hours
wh'ch the polls were open from 8
A." M. to 8 P. M.
Legislative Bill Defeated? '
If the electorate was determined to
express itself plainly on the bonus
bill, it was no less loath to act posi
tively on a few other measures. The
proposal to increase the pay of mem
bers of the legislature and lengthen
the duration of a legislative session
from 40 to 50 days apparently has
been defeated. This" plan to increase
the length .of the Bession was defeat
ed in the general election last No
vember. "
The emergency-clause veto meas
ure has carried the county.
Hygienic marriage regulations have
failed to find a popular response, al
though the vote on this measure,
which has caused some controversy.
Is reasonably close. The plan, how
ever, has lost in Multnomah county.
That women should serve on juries
ifthey desire Is the . apparent wish
of a majority of the men and women
who went to the polls in this county
yesterday. '
The Port of Portland bill, which
particularly affects the residents of
the port district, although the meas
ure is submitted on the state ballot,
is carrying. The measure empowers
the governor to appoint members of
the commission rathe-gthan the lejis
lature. Following: are the Incomplete re
turns from 92 precincts: . .

Measures on the Portland city bal
lot hacve gone beyond the doubtful
stage and additional returns will not
alter the results. The fire apparatus
bonds have been rejected in a most
eempahtic manner, due to the agi
tation aroused by taxpayers over the
bond method of financing the acqui
sit'on of additional apparatus. Also
there has been resentment against
members of the department peddling
handbills advocating the bonds, this
activity of the men in the department
being construted as a quasi-political
move. s. ;
Although the council did not ,".are
to assume responsibility for vacating
certain streets in an unoccupied and
unimproved section m order that a
great railroad terminal development
could be started, the people,: when
this matter was Teferrerd r.o them,
were heartily in favor of it The ter
minal development means the expen
diture of at least 1, 000, 000 by the
railroads and the electorate strongly

Ises to Be World's Biggest Chal
' lengo to America.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C June 7. Japan is
making far-reaching preparations tc
secure control of the ocean commerce
of the Pacific. These plans, it is con
ceded, are directed against the United
States and are Japan's answer to con
struction of an American merchant
marine. '.
Part of the plans are military. Huge
tankers are being constructed to carry
oil to supply the Japanese navy and
arrangements ar-j being made with
Great Britain by which the oil re
sources of the Anslo-Persian Oil com
pany can be shared by Japan. These
resources are In ' Persia and other
eastern points.
Information of the far-reaching
plans of the Japanese to drive Amer
ican commerce off the Pacific are
contained in advices received today
by Secretary of Commerce Hoover.
These advices tell of the merger of
all of 'the principal Japanese shipping
companies, which is now being per
fected with the approval and assist
ance of the Japanese government. The j
new shipping combine, the largest j
probably that the world has ever seen,
will have a capitalization of $-50,-
000,000.
" The Japanese government has sanc
tioned the consolidation following an
agreement to merge the stronger with
the weaker lines.
Under the arrangement outlined in
today's advices, various subsidized
Japanese companies would give up
their ships and titles to the holding
companies, while the other assets or
the companies - would be divided
among those that row hold shares.
The Japanese promoters are expect
ed by this merger to ccntrol about
2,500,000 tons .deadweight of Japanese
ships.
As the shares of the various ship
ping companies have a wide range in
value, the shares of the new combine.
it is understood, will be apportioned
according to the present holdings in
the respective companies.

Bonus Amendment Only Measure
Arousln-r Any Xbtlce.
SALEM, Or., June .7. (Special.)
Less than 40 per cent- of the normal
vote in Marion county had been cast
in today's special election up to 6
o'clock tonight. In Salem, where the
voting strength far exceeds that of
the rural districts, apathy existed and
less than 35 per cent of the regis
tered votes had been cast. In only
one or two of the downtown precincts
did the vote exceed SO per cent of
the registration.
Greatest importance attached to the
bonus amendment, which brought out
hundreds of service men. Had It not
been for this issue the election would
have passed almost unnoticed, offi
cials said.
Because of the small ballot the
county court refused to employ
counting boards as authorized under
a new law passed at the last session
of the legislature. The ballots will
be counted by the regular second
boards as in prior elections. . The
women's vote was unusually light,
according to reports.

rUEBLO, Colo., June 7 (By the
Associated "Press.) Pueblo made
strides today in its recovery from
Friday's flood, which took a heavy
toll of lives and caused a property
kioss of from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000.
Danger of pestilence was passed
according to officials of the United
States public health service: there
was plenty of food; shelter had been
provided in a refugee camp to remove
the congestion in churches, schools
and private homes, and an army of
men have been at work clearing the
streets of debris, removing dead ani
mals and clearing out the business
places. '
Part of the city again was dec
trlcally lighted. The gas company
had preparations nearly complete for
supplying gas for heat and lights.
The city water plant was functioning
and tomorrow a water purifier will
prepare for human consumption 5,000,-
000 gallons of water daily.
C'-operatlon Getu Results,
Military officials, Red Cross work
ers and medical men working under
the direction of the United States
public health service agreed that the
situation tonight was a remarkable
tribute to the efficiency and co-operation
of the various agencies working
to bring back to the people of this
manufacturing center decent living
conditions. ,
Dr. John C. Cornell, head of the
United States public health service
for this district, was authority for
the statement that presence of con
tagious and infectious diseases was
rarer than in the days prior to the
disaster, and this in the face of the
fact that hundreds of dead bodies of
horses, cattle and hogs were decay
ing lntthe flood-swept area, spread,
ing a stench which was offensive to
the nostrils even in the dryer sections
of North Pueblo.
Two Have Diphtheria.
Only two cases of diphtheria have
developed within the last two days,
according to reports of the health
service, which, was making a house-to-house
canvass to report sickness and
guard against insanitation. This was
attributed to the fact that the floods
virtually wiped out the poorer resi
dence district in . the bottoms, in
which 65 per cent of all contagious
and Infectious, diseases originated
prior to the flood.
Additional troops tonight were on
the way from Boulder and vicinity.
Trucks, wagons, mules, drivers ana
equipment have been ordered from
Fort D. A. Russell at Cheyenne, Wyo.,
and from Fort Sam Houston, Texa,s
Knowledge that congressional aid is
assured has given a new air of con
fidence. The military compelling all
able-bodied men "to work has brought
out an army of laborers.
Lawlesaaeas la Rare.
The city has been remarkably free
from lawlessness under tne circum
stances. Only a few arrests have
been made for looting. Occasional
shots have been fired, but the only
fatality from this source, occurring
last night, was not from the gun of
any member of the night patrol, ac
cording to a careful investigation
made by the military' authorities.
Every patrol within several blocks
of the tragedy which caused the
'death of E. E. Withers, prominent
business man, was examined.
The weapons of each guard were
inspected and showed that no shot
had been, fired " from any of their
guns. Every cartridge issued to each
man was counted before the man
went on guard and every cartridge
was found utoused after the tragedy,
according to Captain O. Nicholls, ad
jutant to Lieutenant-Colonel Paul P.
Newlon, commander.
1 Patrol la Exonerated.
, Mr. Withers' son Vollie, who, was
with his father in the automobile at
the time, declared that the shot came
immediately after a command had
come to nait, Dut captain JMcnons
found that there was apparently no
patrol on the corner where the shoot
ing took place and the only general
patrol was accounted for In another
section. . The nearest patrol to the
scene was one stationed at the First
j Baptist church, in which is located
I ItS icuivu'.'.ullil.r ...,- ..... ua.v i.
Press, and he caiied upon an Asso
ciated Press representative to investi
gate the shooting, the guard having
orders not to leave his station.
Partial resumption of railway serr
'ice between here and Colorado Springs
made possible transportation of food
supplies and troops into the city. No
general resumption of railway service,
however, will be possible for weeks.
railroad officials said. '

Final Details Completed.
At the festival center last night
workmen were still busy on final de
tails, placlna; shrubbery and potted
plants, arranging the llahts and put
ting the sound amplifier over the last
Jumps. The festival center is simpler
this year than on former occasions,
but perhaps it loses nothing on that
account. The everyday beauty of the
park blocks Is enhanced by unique
electroliers of original design, not be

for the occasion by Park Superintend
ent Keyser, also a member of the
Rose Festival board of directors. The
court of honor is also distinctive and
a thing of beauty. Above all rears
the huge sound amplifier that will
carry the voices of speakers and sing

assembled there.

the festival attractions.
