Vote on Borah Clause.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 21.
The deadlock between senate and
house over the naval appropriation
bill was broken today by conferees
with a virtual agreement to lop off
about 190.000,000 of the $98,000, 0U0
added by the senate, and with the
right of the house to vote directly
on the Borah disarmament amend
ment. There are still many minor tangles
to be cleared away, but the conferees
were reported in substantial agree
ment on all major points.
According to today's plan the navy
personnel will stand somewhere be
tween 100.000 and 180.000, house mem
bers holding out for the smaller total.
Many republicans were surprised
tonight when they found that the
Borah amendment would come back
to the house. Reports that houss
leaders would insist on the Porter
disarmament resolution concurring
"in the declared purpose of President
Harding" to call an international con
ference on armaments, as a substitute
for the Borah proposal for a naval
disarmament confere: ce between
Great Britain, Japan 'and the United
States, were met with the statement
that the bouse members of the con
ference would not take part in such
a course.
It was stated that the agreement
reached was based upon the under
standing that senate managers. In
agreeing to redutcions in the bill's
total, did so on ccndltion only that
the Borah proposal should not be
sidetracked.

Owners and Managers last night end
ed the first session of the three-day
convention which is being held at the

about 25, who are not expected to
register until this morning.
Two special trains and numerous
private cars brought the 325 dele
gates to Por'.land for the gathering,
the first arriving Monday night from

60 delegates with their wives and

Visitor Are Welcomed.
The programme for the opening day
of the convention began at the Mult
nomah hotel yesterday morning at
9:30 o'clock, when the convention was
called to order by- Dean Vincent of
Portland, convention chairman - In
vocation was pronounced by Bishop
Walter Taylor Sumner of the Oregon
Episcopal church, after which Gov
ernor Olcott delivered the address of
welcome. A second welcome address
to the city of Portland was made by
C. A. Bigelow, acting mayor, and
the welcome on behalf of the Fort
land association of owners and man
agers was delivered by Charles S.
Holbrook, president of the local as-1
soclation. - j
"Each one of you men represents
big things," s-aid Governor Olcott in
his address of welcome. "Like Noah,
you have vision and courage to do
things in the face of odds and crit
icisms. No man ever constructed a
building on a large scale but he was
hooted by the pessimist and assured
that he was on the high road to ruin.
The same ort of Jibes and Jeers were
hurled at Noah when he packed his
family into his strange looking con
traption, but Noah and his family
were the only human beings to reach
Ararat."

Railroad Organisations Not Vet
Certain Which Candidate They
Will Burk for Presidency.
DENVER. June 21 Electioneering
of the most relentless character
marked today's campaign of support
ers of both President Samuel Gom
pers and John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers, to put their
respective candidates into the presi
dency of the American Federation
of Labor.
Beth sides reported definite prog
ress and the Indications were that
the race would be a hard-fought one.
Each candidate, however, appeared
confident of victory.
Although they claimed to have auf
ficlent , votes pledged to elect the
mil, era' chief, supporters of Mr. Lewis
admitted today that the vote of the
L't.ited Mine Workers would be split
as at least two delegates would cas
their Sal lots for Gompers.
The railroad organization!, it was
definitely learned, have not decided
as to which candidate they will sup
port. Labor leaders declare that the
vote of these organizations will prob
ably settle the contest, unless the
delegations split their vote.
Reports that Fred Hewitt, chair
man of the machinists' union, was a
candidate for the presidency, were
denied tonight by Mr. Hewitt, who
said:
."This report Is absolutely ridicu
lous. I am not a candidate and will
not be."
The machinist delegates cannot
support Gompers as they are instruct
ed by their membership not to vote
for anyone who is a member of the
national civic association. Their vole
is claimed by the Lewis supporters.
Because of the complicated situa
tion resulting from various delega
tions splitting their votes and failure
of many unions to decide which can
didate to support, no definite figures
were expected before tomorrow nittht
or Thursday.

WASHINGTON. D. C, June 21. A
world-wide search for the missing
crew of the schooner Carroll A. Peer
ing of Bath. Me., which piled on the
Korth Carolina beach last January
with all sails set, but not a living
soul aboard, has been started by the
state department through American
consuls.
The mystery Is being investigated
by the department of Justice and de
partment of commerce, as Is slso the
unexplained disappearance of the
American steel freighter Hewitt, out
of Sabine Pass. Texas, for Buston.
This craft disappeared about the
same time that the Deering came
urhore.
The summary of the history of the
Deering case as sent to consuls by
the state department discloses that
when the Deering passed Cape Look
out lightship. North Carolina, Janu
ary 29, while bound from Rio de
Janeiro for Norfolk, a man other than
the master reported that the vessel
had lost both anchors and asked to
be reported to its owners.
Foul Play Indicated.
Five days later the vessel w
found on the beach in what the state
department describes s "In such con
dition that there is every supltton
of foul play having occurred."
The department's summary also
says that a short time after the
Dcerln? passed the lightship a
steamer, the name of which has not
been ascertained, passed the light
vessel and was asked to stop and
take a message for forwarding, but
no response was received to the "nu
merous attempts on the part of the
master of the lightship to attract the
vessel's attention."
The deparmrnt's summary then
says that on April 11 the fnllow'ng
message was picked up in a bottle
near Cape Hatteras:
"Deering captured by oll-burnln
boat something like chaser, taking
off everything, handcuffing crew.
Crew hiding all over the ship. No
chance to make escape. Finder pleas
notify headquarters of Deering."
Mhlp'a Supplies flrmoved.
"The schooner carried a motor life.
boat and a dory," the state depart
ment's summary continues, "but
neither of them has been picked up
and no wreckage from them has
been found. Most of the provisions,
clothing and supplies of the vessel
had been removed."
Government agents Investigating
the Hewitt and Deering cases say
they are baffled and that thus far
they have not found a single clue
that might lead to a solution of the
mysteries. Equally as baffling, their
ray, are the cases of the British
steamer Albyn and the Russian bark
Yule, which disappeared last fall off
the North Carolina coast.
The Albyn sailed from Norfolk last
October and never was heard from
again, while the Tute when off Cape
Hatteras sent a radio message ask
ing for aid. but when steamers
reached the position given in the
message an hour later, no trace of
the vessel was found and it is said
she has never been heard from since.
Reports to the government are that
the weather was perfectly calm.
Plrste Theory Doubled.
Investigators here ray that they
do not take seriously suggestions of
bolshevik raiders or deep. sea pirates,
but they add that one guess is as
good as another.
They are inclined to the opinion
that the two cases will go down in
history with other unsolved mysteries
of the sea. the greatest of which on
record, they declare, is that of the
American bark Marie Celeste, which
was found off tho Azores three
months after she left Europe In 12

weather, but with tho crew mlslng.
A boarding party from the ship
which sighted the bark found the
table set for dinner with hot coffer
in the pot and everything aboard the
ship in the same condition it would
have been had tha crew left only
a few minutes before. On a sewing
machine was a waist which the cap
