. The interallied .commission will be
In complete control of upper Silesia
within one week, if plans on which
the commission is agreed can be car
ried through. General Le Rond, Hen
eral Sir Harold Stuart and General
De Martini reached an understanding
today which, if pursued in rood faith
will liquidate the Kerfanty revolu
tion quickly, through united allied ac
. tion. Should the plan fail to work,
the British will go through on thel
own account and occupy the Indus
trial centers, particularly Beuthe
and Kattowitx.
-The outstanding feature in the up
per Silesian situation is that the Brit
Ih intend to break the iniurrectio
and to re-establish the Gerjian mln
owners, regardless of whether the
may be called pro-German for so do
In. If General Le Rond goes with
them, well and good; if not, they
will go. alone.
StratrRle Position Held.
They already hold a strategic mill
tary position between Gleiwlts and
the Oder. While they are not em
powered to disarm the Polish bands
which hamper their prograas, they are
pushing them along ahead. Wnen
they reached Rosenberg the Polish
commander was given one hour in
which to get his 5000 men out and let
the British in. The Poles went, and
British occupation was completed
without a shot.
Operations at Gleiwitz required
delicate handling. Colonel Wauchop
of the famous Black Watch com
mand, who is in charge there, has
met all the requirements with rare
skill and tact. He takes care not to
move a foot without having some
of the French officers beside b'ai and
supporting him; so there is no lance
for the Poles to cry out that the
Germans are coming back under the
screen of the British. Colonel
Wauchop slipped six mixed French
and British battalions between the
Polish insurgents and the German
Selbschutz along a 29-mile front
without losing a man.
Relations Are Improved.
. Several villages, where the Ger
man Selbscbutz were at one end and
the Polish insurgents at the other,
ai.ica troops, naving no power to
disarm either of. the would-be com
batants have to argue both sides to
the rear.
Arrivals of British troops at the
front has had an effect, quite dif
ferent from that which had been ex
. pected. In the field they are work
ing in seeming. full accord with the
French, while here the differences
between the two forces led almost to
an open break..
Sir Harold Stuart, who arrived hcr
three days ago, has been the medium
for improved relations. He has not
hesitated to reprove British mem
bers of the commission, particularly
Colonel Percival, for having gone too
far in support of the Germans and
he has worked effectively to bring
about close co-operation with Gen
eral LeRond.
Through General Stuarfs good'of
fices and energy the occupation of
the industrial region will be made
by the united British and French,
unless orders , from Paris may ef-
ieci some other disposition of
French troops.
He-occupation la Asaarcd.
General LeKond, with whom I have
naa a long talk, assures trie that
there will be complete re-occupation
of Upper Silesia by the allies within
the next five or ten days. He ad
mits that he has been swept off his
feet by General Stuart's energy.
One point he has, been able to carry
is that the Polish bands will not be
disarmed while the German Selb
schutz are permitted to carry arms.
He says he supposes his personal
prestige has been damaged. In my
opinion, the position of the French
troops in the field has been unfairly
attacked. Fault has not been with
the troops, but with the Inter-allied
commission. The French in the del
icate position between Gleiwitz and
the Odor have proved themselves the
finest quality of soldiers.
In the initial differences between
Jou General Stuart and LeKond. Gen
eral PcMartlni acted as peacemaker
and it was largely due to the sauvity
of the commission in furthering the
British intention of replacing the
Germans as masters of the industrial
region that the promising outlook
has been brought about. J
This decision went hard with'Gen
era! LeRond. but he could not

Additional election returns received
yesterday wiped out the favorable
majority heretofore given the woman's
Jury bill and left the measure almost
in the balance with a negative ma
jority of 78.
Some precincts are yet to hear from
in Baker, Coos, Deschutes, Douglas,
Harney, Jackson, Lincoln, Malheur
and Yamhill counties and no election
figures at all have been received from
Lake and Curry counties.
The incomplete returns indicate
that the remainder of the vote will be
unfavorable to the measure in Baker,
(Douglas, Harney, Jackson and Mal
heur, and that they will be favorable
in Coos, Deschutes, Lincoln and Yam
hill. Complete or official returns have
been received from all counties except
those mentioned. The final fate of
the bill remains in doubt.

Frederick O'Brien's Expedition Hits
Shadows In South Seas.
HONOLULU, T. H., June 9. (Spe
cial.) Like nearly all expeditions to
the South seas, which start off in a
blaze of glory and end in mutiny of
the crew, or other mishaps, the ex
pedition of Frederick O'Brien, author
of "White Shadows in the South
Seas," has hit uncharted shoals of
misunderstanding. Practically all
the crew of the Wisdom II has re
turned to San Francisco.
O'Brien had 20 Americana on board
when the Wisdom II sailed from San
Francisco. Of that bunch but seven
remained , and the crew was made up
for the remainder of Tahiti sailors.
The Wisdom II visited the Mar
quesas isles, Tahiti, Bora Bora and
Raiatea before reaching American
Samoa, which was the last American
port of call for the next two years'
ruise of the yacht.

THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C, June 9. Organ
ized price-fixing by the mills of the
West Coast Lumbermen's association
of Oregon and Washington, curtail-4
ment of production to hold prices up,
close co-operation between the Doug
las fir mills and those of the West
ern Pine Manufacturers' association,
with headquarters in Portland, in fix
ing prices, a most effective loggers'
association combine, backed by and
often owned by the big timber own
ers, and a dangerous control of the
nation's future lumber supply in the
Pacific northwest by a few great
timber barons, are charged in one
of the most sweeping reports--yet
made by the federal trade commis
sion in a long document submitted
to congress by that commission to
day.
In the presentation reference is
made to a similar report on the
Southern Pine association, filed in
February of this year, which was
followed by prosecutions through the
department of Justice, and the in
ference lies therein that the same
is expected by the trade commission

File Election Returns.
SALEM, Or., June 9. (Special.)
Sherman county, which for many
years has had the distinction of be-
ng the first county in Oregon to file
turns of elections .with the secre-
ary of state, now has to take a back
seat. Yamhill and Washington coun
ties share honors for first place in
filing the results of Tuesday's spe-
ial election with the state depart
ment.
The returns from these two. coun
ties reached the secretary of state
today. Canvassing the votes in Tues
day's election, probably will start
early next week and probably will be
completed before July 1, according to
the secretary of state.

Price Control la Charred.
Numerous quotations are made in
the report from minutes of meet
ings of the lumber associations af
fected, correspondence of individual
mill managers and committee mem
bers handling production and price
problems, and the commission eays
that it has gathered thousands of
such documents from which no quo
tations are made. Out of the whole
the commission presents its conclu
sions that there can be no doubt of
deliberate and long-sustained effort
by the association to control prices
of its products and excerpts from
communications of the secretary. It.
B. Allen are offered to show his be
lief that certain practices had this
effect.

swiftness that bewildered dealers
Most of the excitement was crowded

when the market showed an upturn
of 8 cents for the July delivery, at
$1.40, and then dropped to almost
an equal extent, closing unsettled at

the board of trade was about to be

members of. the exchange was as
cribed as a leading factor in the loss
of confidence by the bulls -at the last.
The, nrecedinar unward flight of
prices was associated with an infer
ence that possible railroad strikes
July 1 might cause grave trouble in
filling contracts for delivery of
wheat.' -
Nervousness oyer the government
crop report indicating that the pro-'
duction of winter wheat wouio oe
51,000,000 bushels less than had been
looked for a month ago was an addi
tional reason for much of the rapid
ity of today's action of the market.
NEW YORK, June 9. Another col
lapse in foreign exchange, especially
British, the heavy export tax on oils
proposed by Mexico, further price-
cutting and more reduced or omitted

ment Tax In Addition.
NEW YORK, June 9. Uncle Sam
never drew on a boxing glove in his
life, but he'll make more money than
Jack Dempsey, Georges Carpentier or
Tex Rlckard on July 2.
Figures were quoted today by in
ternal revenue officials.
Dempsey's income tax for $300,000,
approximately what he will receive
for the battle, will amount to $161,270.
Carpentler's toll, when exemptions
for his wife and child are subtracted,
will total $93,334.
That makes the division of th
purse read:
United States government, $254,604
boxers, $245,396.
The marked difference between th
taxes of the boxers is due to th
surtax on the difference between
$300,000 and $200,000. Dempsey, how
ever, will have a year in which to
pay, in quarterly installments, the
first payment due March 15, 19
Carpentier, before he sails, must pay
every dollar.
Government profits on the bout also
include .the 10 per cent amusemen
tax exacted by federal authorities,
which will amount approximately to
$100,000. New Jersey will exact
like sum.
Tex Rlckard, promoter, whose prof
its may be $100,000, will be taxed
amount which will "bring the total
government revenue from the en
counter to considerably more than
half million dollars.

High tide of the Rose Festival was
reached yesterday with the floral pa
rade. ' This has always been accounted the
crowning achievement of the annual
ly recurring fete. Rose, pageantry
then reaches Its apex.
Yesterday's succession of rose-
wreathed, automobiles and floats car
rying blooms of all colors, looted from
a thousand gardens, was a worthy
successor to the 13 annual floral pa
rades that have gone before. And as
always, it held the center of the
festival stage.
Crowds yesterday were abdve the
average in festival history. Masses
of people formed at vantage points,
intent upon viewing the festival's
banner attraction, and they hung
upon th(j flanks of the pageant until
it won its way through the sinuous
course mapped out for it and dis
banded. Many Cltlea Represented.
As the pageant was forming, a few
drops of rain sprinkled down and
some feared a repetition of last year's
downpour upon this same parade.
Happily, clouds veered away and left
the procession free from the least
til omen.

never' more generous than this year
to make the parade a success. Other
