which they held consistently until th

their favor close to 7000 votes.

Tax Measure Defeated.
The, 3-milI school tax levy for
building expansion next year was de
feated bv a vote of 8359 to 5953. As
Boon as the count was received, con
jecture sprung up as to what action
would now be taken to ;provide for
the buildings said to be necessary to
maintain the efficiency standard of
Portland schools.
A. C. Newill, now chairman of the
school board by seniority, said that
In all probability they would have to
call a special election in the early
fall for a bond issue to meet the
requirements in building. He said
the condition of school finance at
present was not even adequate to
provide for more portable schools
during the emergency, and reiterat
ed that even if it were, such invest
ment was gross extravagance and a
waste of the public funds. Portable
houses, he declared, in view of their
short duration, cost in the end ten
times more than permanent build
ings.
Different Opinion Expressed.
F. 1 Shull, another board member,
disputed the plan rumored concern
ing an election for a bond issue, and
said that the only way out which he
saw was to ask for a 3-mill levy
again next year.
It was his opinion that the pro
gramme now under way would pro
vide sufficient accommodations for
the schools this year, for which
funds are at hand, but he declared
the outcome of the curtailment for
next year's building probably would
prove inconvenient. He said that
more portables would have to be
added, although he also disapproved
of these because of their cost and
temporary nature.
George P. Eisman made no state
ment regarding the probable action
for more funds, but said the curtail
ment in building would prove ser
ious, he believed. He felt sure, how
ever, that the board would provide
some way out which would meet the
approval of the people and insure
the maximum returns from resources
available.
Shake-up Mot Expected.
Conjecture as .to a possible shake
up in the administrative staff of the
city, current as a rumor yesterday,
has little ground, according to re
marks from these three men. Chair
man Newill stated that whatever
may be the feeling of the new board
members, nothing could be done until
early in April, as the members of the
staff were on contracts whi;h had
approximately a year to run. The
r.ewly elected members who could be
leached yesterday afternoon said that
they had nothing in mind in this
direction.
Those in charge of the election ar
rangements were taken completelyJ
unawares by the magnitude of the
vote cast Saturday. At the most not
more than 14,000 were expected to
cast ballots, and that was considered
a larger estimate than necessary. At
o'clock Saturday night calls began
pouring into the offices of the school
toard for more ballotsc.
Ballot Shortage Occurs.
A dozen booths- at least ran com
pletely out, and had to use the green
sample ballots, and in some cases
plain white paper. A number of
election boards also applied for relief
or aid to handle the crowds. This
was especially true where women
' were running the polling places. The
voting was heavy all afternoon and
Increased at night, until at 8 o'clock,
when the doors were supposed to be
closed, many districts had lon,$ lines,
sometimes as many as 300 persons,
extended outside the buildings wait
ing to vote. Some were turned away,
but in most cases other rooms were
"thrown open and those outside were
allowed to come in before the doors
were closed. The voting continued in

Trouble Believed Aftermath of
Community Row Approaching
the Proportions of Feud.
ALBANY. Or., June 19. (Special.)
The residence of J. T. Elmore at
Dever station on the Oregon Elec
tric railway eight miles north of Al
bany, was bombarded late Friday
night with shotguns and rifles, while
dynamite was set off in an adjoin
ing field, according to an investiga
tion made yesterday by Sheriff Ken
dall. The demonstration is presumed
by Elmore and others to be an after
math of considerable trouble in that
community which has resulted in the
arrest of Elmore at various times for
fighting, swearing on the highway
and other misdemeanors, and the ar
rest of others on similar charges at
the instance of Elmore.
Elmore made a complaint to the
sheriffs office that at about 11
o'clock Friday night a crowd of from
12 to 15 men gathered about his
house, stationing themselves in four
bunches, one at each corner of the
house, though- some distance away.
He said that they fired about 200
shots at the house with shotguns but
Sheriff Kendall said, following his
investigation of the effect of the
shots, that the number fired would
not exceed 50. Three rifle bullets
entered the house, one going through
the head of Elmore's bed and lodging
in the wall. Four charges of dyna
mite were exploded in a nearby field.
For two or three years there has
been trouble in the Dever neigh
borhood and at times it- has ap
proached the proportions of a feud.
Persons there accuse Elmore of be
ing the cause of the trouble.
DISABLED' CRAFT IN TOW
Calm Sea May Enable Queen to
Make Repairs on Voyage.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 19. The
Admiral line steamer Queen, reported
disabled late last night off Umpqua
harbor, tonight was proceeding to San
Francisco in tow of the steam
freighter Johanna Smith, according
to wireless advices received at the
Pacific Steamship company's offices.
The sea was calm and company of
ficials stated that repairs enabling
her to proceed under her own steam
would be completed in a few hours.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 19. Latest
wireless advices from the Queen
stated that the vessel's feed pumps
had broken and that efforts to repair
them were futile.
Four months ago the ship was in
trouble while en route to Seattle. On
that occasion her steering gear broke
and she was towed back to San Fran
cisco by the tug Hercules from a point
150 miles north of this pert.
SOLDIERS' BODIES MIXED
Services Held at Yakima and
Washington for Same Person.
YAKIMA. Wash., June 19. (Spe
cial.) John Hoisington of this city,
who recently received from the war
department the body of his son, Pri
vate Ross D. Hoisington, and who
had the body interred in Tahoma
cemetery, here, has Just received a
letter from a patriotic society of
women in Washington, D. C, saying
that Ross D. Hoisington's body was
uried in Arlington cemetery and
that the grave was suitably decorated
with flowers by the society.
As,the body of Ross D. Hoisington
here was accompanied by two identi
fication tags, it is believed that tha
body of the soldier buried. at Arling-
on was mistakenly identified and
the facts have been reported to the
ar department so that inquiry may
be made.
IRE LAID TO BURGLARS
Furniture in Unoccupied Home in
Turmoil When Hosemen Arrive.
Fire, believed to 'have been started
by burglars, almost destroyed a resi-
ence at 671 East Glisan street early
esterday morning. The residence has
been occupied by Fred Endicott and
family, who have been at the beach
for a week.
Captain Roberts of the fire
marshal's office estimated the dam-
se iu me iwo-siory nouse at $1400
nd to the furniture at $600. The
uilding was said to be the property
f James Hewitt, who lives on East
Sixty-first street.
Captain Roberts said the building
naa apparently been ransacked bv
urglars before the fire, as all the
urniture was disarranged and draw-
rs and cabinets were found
open

SUN RAYS LIGHT MINE
Shaft 1400 Feet Deep Situated on
Tropic of Cancer Line.
SOMBRETE, Zacatecas. Mexico,
une 19. Miners in the La Joya
shaft at Sombrete are due to be
dazzled by a ray of sunlight at noon
of June 21. The old miners are await
ing this visit of. light to the bottom
of tne 1400-foqi snaft, for to them
it marks another year of labor, but
the new workers will receive it as
a surprise, according to the "old
timers."
The mine is situated on the imag
inary line known as the tropic of
Cancer. Once a year, at noon, June
21. the sun passes directly above the
mine and the vertical rays penetrate
the darkness of the stiaft with such
brilliancy, the old miners say,-that
some of the native workers fear they
have dug into the infernal region. '
Plan to Boycott British
Goods Causes Split.
CONVENTION FIGHT POSSIBLE
Withdrawal of Blacklisting
Resolution Attempted.
TWO FACTIONS FORMED
De Yalera's Secretary Denies Tha
Sinn Fein. Tried to Influence
American Federation.
DENVER, June 19. The split be
tween the two factions of Irish
sympathisers in the American Fed
eration of Labor convention here
widened tonight when a. majority of
the' signers of a resolution demand
ing. boycott of British-made goods
announced they had petitioned the
resolutions committee asking permis
sion to withdraw the declaration.
The remaining supporters of the
resolution issued a statement assert
ing they would carry the fight to
the convention floor, declaring they
were acting in accordance w'ith the
wishes of Eamonn de Valera.
Delegates opposing the boycot and
urging adoption of a less drastic
resolution made public a telegram
from Harry Boland of New York sec
retary to De Valera, which repudiat
ed the claim of the boycott support
ers that their declaration was the
offipial resolution of the "Irish re
public."
Statement Is Denied. ,
"Would like to say that I have not
in any way interfered or attempted
to interfere in the deliberations of
the American Federation of Labor,'
said Mr. Boland's telegram in reply
to a query from 14 international
union officials as to whether the
boycott resolution was the "official
resolution of the Irish republic."
"We seek the sympathy and support
of the American Federation of Labor,
but clearly understand it Is question
Solely for the delegates themselves to
decide now, if at all, such sympathy
should be expressed or support given,"
the telegram continued.
"We have not deputized any indi
vidual or delegate to the convention
to speak for President De Valera or
the Irish mission. We very naturally
would wish to see strong action taken
by the federation in Ireland's behalf,
but deplore the fact that groups with
in the convention would exploit the
cause of Ireland to their own political
ends. ,
Row Held PolMlcal.
"The cause of Ireland and the suf
fering of our people are too sacred
to us to permit them to be used as a
political weapon or club against Indi-

HANG OUT THE WELCOME SIGN. -
to
WOODBURN, Or., June 19. (Spe
cial.) Fred Wright, who created ex
citement in the strawberry market in
Portland and at Hubbard by offers
of low prices, was brought to Wood
burn tonight for medical assistance,
after being badly beaten by three
men as the result of a dispute in his
strawberry patch. Wright later
swore to a complaint charging the
men, whose names are unknown to
him, with assault and battery.
The trouble is said to have arisen
after the three men arrived at
Wright's place, near Hubbard, and be
gan to pick strawberries. A dispute
arose over .the price to be paid. The
men attacked Wright and beat him so
badly that upon reaching Woodburn
he was unable to stand without as
sistance. It was apparent that re
covery would require some time.
The three men, warrants for whom
were issued by Justice McCord, were
apprehended at Oregon City and were
held there awaiting the arrival of the
Woodburn city marshal to bring them
here to answer the charges.
. Wright first came into prominence
in Portland one week ago, when he
appeared here and offered to bring to
the public market a large quantity of
strawberries, which he said would
come from Hubbard, Or., and would
be sold for 95 cents a crate. Just a
few were sold at that figure, but the
advertisement brought to the market
scores of women, ready to purchase,
and a near-riot, which was dispersed
by the police, took place.
It was charged that there had been
interference by Market Master East
roan, who denied trying to stop the
sale of the cheaper berries. Several
statements were made by Wright that
he would furnish berries at the 95-
cent rate, but tney were never
livered.
Wright owns a small place at Hub

HARDEN SCORES POLICY
Story of Procedure Recommended
as Manual of Harm Possible
Through Insincerity.
BY MAXIMILIAN HARDEN,
Germany"! Foremost Publicist.
(Copyright, 191'1. by The Ureg-onian.)
BERLIN. June 19 (By wireless.)
In the whirl of discord which en
gulfs Europe today, the cause of the
more immediate discord seems all but
forgotten in the more eagerly dis
cussed meetings of a French and
German minister of reconstruction
at Weisbaden.
But the Upper Silesian problem still
Is with us. and It must be settled
very shortly. It was this problem
which caused an estrangement be
tween France and Great Britain re
cently, and out of that estrangement
strange rumors of a new alliance and
new ententes have arisen.
But before there Can be ententes
and "agreements" there must be a
wiping out of the causes of disagree
ment. The story of Upper Silesia should
be put in the manuals for future po
litical students as a striking exam
pie of the damage done by the old
tactics of conscious Insincerity.
Poles Called Fanatics.
Polish fanatics persuaded the allied
supreme council at Paris that Upper
Silesia had been wrested from Poland
by the Germans and that an over
whelming majority of .the people
longed for the day when they would
be returned to Poland. That is un
true. Upper Silesia for S00 years, or
since the beginning of the Norman
conquest over England, has not be
longed to Poland. It has been ruled
by ancestral princes of the Czechs
and the Austrians, and it was not
until it became Prussian that it at
tained economic importance.
Silesia voluntarily has sent repre
sentations to Germany's parliament
until about 30 years ago, when Kor
fanty, the young son of a Kattowise
miner, was elected to the reichstag
with a surprisingly large majority.
Korfanty immediately started a pas
sionate but clever agitation for mak
ing the province Polish. This agi
tation was facilitated by Prussia's
bad psychological treatment of the
natives, but not until the middle of
the great war did anybody, even Kor
fanty, think seriously of Silesia's
severance from Prussia.
In 1917 a series of government con
cessions satisfied nine-tenths of the
people.
Germans Deny Plea.
The German peace delegation tried
I to dissuade the supreme council from
J its decision regarding separation by
I Informing it in May, 1919, that wlth-
Inform
out Ui
be ab!
mande
pper Silesia Germany would not
able to pay the reparations H.
ded. That fa n ih.ni,.i..
rect, as the value of Upper Silesia
does not amount to more than 2 per
cent of the total German possessions.
It is correct, however, to say that
Germany s reparation possibilities
will be lessened if it has less coal
and loses the Upper Silesian iron, zinc
and lead, which mean a part of her
manufacturing ability.
The supreme council finally al
lowed a plebiscite. Being an Upper
Silesian by birth and a Pole by pas
sionate conviction, Korfanty became
the Polish commissioner. This cun
ning, energetic man, who always
called himself half socialist, belongs
to those people who, when In luck
and the possession of power, throw
common sense to the winds.
Korfanty Is Suspected.
The sharp words of a charming
American woman who once said "a
conquered Frenchman is charming,
but a victorious Frenchman unbear
able,
can be more correctly applied :
to Korfanty. During the war he was
surrounded by mistrust and looked
upon suspiciously by military Poles In
authority. He often swore, even to
me, that a resurrected Poland would
always be guided by humane kind
ness and not assume the harshness
of the Prussian regime.
As plebiscite commissioner,' how
ever, Korfanty immediately'' kindled
the wildest hatred of the Germans.
He and his supporters went beyond
the bounds of common decency, In
sulting everything German, and until
the last hour he swore (and proved
by his maps) that the plebiscite
would yield at least SO per cent Polish
votes. It was a personal defeat for
him when his returns showed only a
40 per cent Polish vote.
Korfanty then tried to save him
self by forcible measures. This was
made easier for him by the rather
thoughtless English proclamation
that Poland should receive the dis
tricts of Rybnik and Pless. He ob
tained further support as a result of
the triumphant shouting of the Berlin
government that the plebiscite meant

Deputy Sheriffs Grapple In Sandy
River to Recover Body of
Harry Farmer, Aged 16.
Harry Farmer, aged 16, a son of
P. X. Farmer of Portland, was
drowned in the Sandy river near the
former auto club location yesterday
afternoon about 4 o'clock. Deputy
sheriffs who were grappling in the
river had not yet recovered the body
lust night.
The father of the boy made an un
successful effort to save his son after
he was seen to be struggling in the
water. Handicapped by his clothing,
he was unable to bring the lad ashore.
The Farmer family had gone to the
vicinity by automobile from Portland
to spend the afternoon and the boy
was bathing off the beach Just above
the bridge when he apparently was
seized by a cramp and began to strug
gle. The boy's father, who was near
by, rushed to the rescue and managed
to get hold of his son. The boy
slipped from his hands before he
could bring him ashore.
The sheriff's office immediately
was advised and grappling hooks
were obtained from the harbor patrol
and hurried to the scene. Grappling
was then started from a small launch
procured nearby.
Deputy Sheriffs who participated In
the grappling Included Christof ferson.

Bailey.
