BT ROBERT T. SMALL.
' (Copyright, 1921, by The Oregonian.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 31.
(Special.) Japan sees for herself In
the Washington conference a national
disaster. This is not a reportorial
phrase, but the words of profound
Japanese statesmen. The statement
explains at once the reluctance of
Japan to accept an Invitation to the
conference and she has accepted at
last because she could find no way
out.
Japan sees herself about to be
shunted out of the first rank of world
powers. Japan sees clearly that any
step she may take in the future must
be subject to approval by two non
oriental powers Great Britain and
the United States. She no longer will
be dominant in the east.
In short, Japan sees herself being
relegated to the position she held be
fore the Russo-Japanese war. Racial
pride, hurt many times before, is
about to suffer its worst blow.
Fateful Hour Arrives.
The world in general has been
somewhat slow to grasp the full por
tent of what has been happening in
diplomatic circles, but the govern
ment at Tokio has been in no doubt.
The moment the Washington invita
tion was handed to the Japanese min
ister of froegln affairs there was a
realization that a fateful hour for the
island kingdom ha struck.
Both London and Washington would
hotly deny any intention of their part
to deprive Japan of one whit of the
world power she has wielded since
her great victory over Russia in
1905, but Tokio knows perfectly well
that an accord between Great Britain
and the United States as to what shall
be done in the Pacific means that re
sistance on the part of Japan would be
in vain. Not Japan alone, but the en
tire' world feels that out of the Wash
ington conference may come an un
derstanding among the English-
speaking peoples which would be re
sistless in its power.
Emissaries Go to London,
Japan had scarcely recovered from
the shock of her negotiations for a
renewal of the Anglo-Japanese treaty
when the new blow of the Washing
ton parley fell. Japanese emissaries
went to London this spring, little sus
pecting that there would be the slight-

P.' 31. and Report Conditions
Ideal for Climbing.
HOOD RIVER, Or, July 31. (Spe
cial.) American Legion members and
prominent state officials today suc
ceeded in reaching the summit of
Mount Hood in the first annual
American Legion ascension" of the
mountain. Governor Olcott and Sec
retary of. State Kozer were in the
party of 85 who reached the tip of
the peak at 1:15 o'clock today. Dr.
V. R. Abraham and Fred W. Don
nerberg led the climbers.
L. M. Compton, warden of the
state penitentiary, and Dr. R. L
Steiner, superintendent of the state
hospital, were among the 150 mem
bers of the party who remained In
camp at the snowline near Cooper's
spur, but did not attempt the as
cension. George A. White, adjutant-
general of Oregon, left with those
who started for the summit, but had
not gone far when he was forced
to turn back because of the illness
of his daughter, who could not stand
the altitude.
Almost as soon as the party had
left Hood River yesterday, com
munication with it was cut off, and
no wordi was heard until the return
of the climbers tonight by automo
bile. Families of the members of
the local post of the American Legion
tonight became anxious over the
failure to hear from them, and were
about to make an investigation when
the first " cars with the climbers
reached here.
The conditions were reported to
have been ideal on the ascension.
with a clear view for a great distance.
Immediately after the return of
the party here. Governor Olcott and
Secretary Kozer left by automobile
for Portland, where Mr. Kozer was
to catch a train for Helena, Mont
shortly after midnight. Mr. Kozer
was on his way to attend the conven
tion of secretaries of state to be held
there.

THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C, July 31. It can
not be said that the farmers have
not been given a hearing by this
congress. They may not obtain all
of the legislation that all of them are
demanding, but every proposal that
has been advanced for the relief of
the after-war depression in the agri
cultural industry has been feiven the
most careful consideration by the
authorities in Washington. This ap
plies to the president and executive
departments as well as congress.
Furthermore, the farmers have al
ready obtained action upon their most
insistent demands. Important meas
ures affecting agriculture have al
ready been written upon the statute
books, and other bills have been
passed by one or the other of the
houses and a number are pending in
conference.
The special session of congress was
caned to revise the tariff and the
taxes. The policy of the adminis
tration is to revise the tariff upward
and the taxes downward. Yet more
time has been given to attempts by
legislation to help agriculture than
to revise the tariff and taxes.
Denunan Are Gra.trd.
City members of congress have
voted for measures in which they had
little faith and of which they - pos
sessed less knowledge, just ' because
or the farmers' demands. They are
hoping that the measures that have
been passed and will be passed before
congress adjourns, will not only im
prove conditions on the farm, but
will give the cities cheaper food.
There never was a congress more
sympathetic to the farmers' interest.
Even in the consideration of the
tariff, the interest of the farmers
subordinated to a great extent those
of the manufacturer. The emergency
tariff should be classed as granger
legislation, as laws for the benefit
of agriculture were formerly called.
The emergency tariff was rushed
through both houses twice in re
sponse to- the demands from the
country districts.
Veto Is Recalled.
President Wilson vetoed it the
first time and President Harding
signed it the second time. The east
ern manufacturers were either in-
ciucreni or opposed to tne emer
gency tariff bill, but the desires of
the farmers prevailed. The vote on
a number of provisions of the Ford
ney tariff bill Indicated the strength
of the farmers' incluence in the
house. The house refused to place
a tariff on shoes without protecting
hides. This was a stinging defeat
for the New. England manufacturers,
who are past masters In the manipu
lation of tariff schedules. Free raw
material and protective manufac
tured goods is the propaganda which
New England has successfully tucked
into tariff laws up to this time. They
failed utterly during the considera
tion of the Fordney bill by the house.
Having shaped the tariff legisla
tion largely to meet the demands of
the farmers, congress has taken un
der consideration special agricultur
al measures. Early in the session,
tn ere was organized in the senate
and house a group which became
known as the farmers' bloc
Many Session Held.
The farmers bloc held almost daily
session, at which an attempt was
made to agree upon a comprehensive
legislative programme for the ag
ricultural industry. But gradually
the farmers' bloc has disintegrated.
The members of the bloc were un
able to get together on any pro
gramme. They held divergent views
on the - subject and little is now
heard of the concerted action of mem
bers from the agricultural states.
But the failure of the organized
effort of the farmers' bloc has in no
way decreased the interest of con
gress in argicultural problems. This
interest is not confined to senators
and members from rural sections but
includes members from the city who
think on broad lines and recognize
that agriculture is a national prob
lem. Often during the session there
have been four or five committees
conducting hearings upon bills that
directly affect farms and farmers.
Committers Probe Problem.
The agricultural committee of both
the serate and house have been al
most continuously in session since
congress convened for the special
session. In fact, both committees
opened their hearings last session
and reported out some important leg
islation. The advocates of anything
that purported to give relief to the
I agricultural Industry were permitted
to appear before the committee and

TOKIO, July 31. (By the Associat
ed Press.) The Japanese cabinet dis
cusses the situation at Kobe today
and decided to adopt drastic meas
ures In the belief that the riots might
be incited by Influences not discern
ible on the surface. The Kensei-Kal
party has adopted resolutions declar
ing its belief that the government is
responsible for the situation.
Six hundred employes of the Tokio
Calico Textile company have struck,
following rejection of their demands,
and it was believed the strike may
spread. The home minister has an
nounced plans for adoption of de
cisive measures to maintain peace.
Many newspapers attack the gov
ernment for alleged favoring of the
capitalists in the Kobe labor troubles,
which they think will have serious
consequences.

Doctor Entertains Grave Doubts of
Woman's Recovery; Head and
Face . Are Badly Cut.
With Mrs. Frances Coberly, aged 29,
in the Derr sanitarium with the top
of her head terribly beaten, a 3-lnch
cut over her left eye, a smaller one
above the right eye, both eyes black
ened and a dozen other cuts on her
face and head, inflicted by a hammer.
Russell Coberly, 25 years old, 302ft
Jersey street North, after submitting
voluntarily to arrest, sat in the de
tectives' office at police headquarters
yesterday morning and told his ques
tioners he had been so mad that he
did not know what he had done or
what instruments he had used on his
wife.
Dr. F. P. Scnultz, at the sanitarium,
said he entertained grave doubts for
the woman's recovery. Although her
skull was not fractured, the shock and
nature of her injuries have placed her
in a dangerous condition from which
she may not recover.
Wife Works as Waitress.
The beating took place about 7
o'clock yesterday morning In the flat
occupied by Coberly and his wife. It
was the culmination of difficulties
over alleged association between Mrs.
Coberly and another man, for whom
the police, began looking.
Coberly told the police he had mar
ried Frances Wilson Coberly at Ka
lam a, Waah., on February 26, 1921.
ar.d both of them had ..been married
twice before. He sftid he was em
ployed by the Western Pine Lumber
company. Since their marriage they
had been living in the Wilcox apart
ments in St. Johns. His wife worked
as a waitress at Globe & Allen res
taurant on Jersey street. He told a
story of difficulties in which he al
leged that his wife had been seeing
other men and named one in par
ticular. Camping Trip Alleged.
According to his story. Mrs." Cob

11 and he learned that she had gone
on a camping trip with this one man
on July 15 and remained away until
July 18. When they returned Cober
ly sought the man and warned him
to stay away from his wife. He
said the man promised to do so.
On Saturday Mrs. Coberly was said
to have left the home and to have
written a note to her husband. The
note read:
