CONFERENCE DATE
IS UP TO 3 NATIONS
Disarmament Session Plan
ned for November.
SUBJECTS YET UNCERTAIN
Ambassadors of Great Britain,
France and Japan Await In
i fctructlons From Governments.
WASHIN-GTON, D. G, Aug. 1. De
termination of the date for the dis
armament conference was understood
today to rest largely in the foreign
ofiees at London, Paris and Tokio.
The diplomatic representatives of
the Invited powers have conferred
with Secretary of State Hughes con
cerning the advisability of beginning:
the conference November 11, or upon
come other date, and have, in turn,
referred the question to their respect
ive governments. Until further in
structions are received by the am
bassadors It is expected that no def
inite action will be taken.
Representatives of foreign govern
ments have made It plain, however,
that they regard termination of the
a&rendas far more important than the
fixing- of the date of meeting. They
are understood to have reported in
detail to their governments the de
sire of Secretary of State Hughes to
leave the main body as much work as
possible, but there is increasing evi
dence that Japan is not alone in her
Insistence that the scope of the con
ference be more clearly outlined be
fore the formal sessions are begun.
Although consideration of that phase
of the plans for the conference Is
not expected to give rise to further
delay in isuing the formal invita
tions, it is believed that the ambas
sadors expect to receive from their
home offices instructions as to the
parts they shall assmue in adding
to or takina- from the list of sub
jects that may be discussed.
While Japan has made it clear that
there are subjects which she would
discuss with unwillingness, if at all,
there appears to be a growing con
viction that unless some limitation is
placed upon the number of subjects
to be considered the conference may
be continued almost indefinitely. The
chief object of Japan, It is understood,
will be to drive to the front her
right to expansion, and in that con
nection her claims in Siberia, Man
churia and perhaps other regions.

of Oak Park, 111., moderator of the
Congregational church of America,

sity in the morning and waa the

'Civic Pride and Service."
"We must give service in every
walk of life. That is our mission on

and for the betterment of humanity
we must do our share," said Dr. Bar

CHEAPER HEAT IS URGED
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
ASKS RATE CUT.
Ietter to Northwestern Electric
Company Calls Attention to
Declining Fuel Costs.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 1. (Special.) In
anticipation of lower fuel costs, the
Oregon public service commission to
day sent a letter to Portland suggest
ing that the Northwestern Electric
company of Portland reduce its steam
heating charges. The letter was ad
dressed to L.. T. Merwin, general man
ager of the corporation.
"Following the reduction last May
in oil prices from $2.55 to $2.10 a
barrel." said the commission's letter,
"we had expected to be able to re
quest your utility to make a corre
sponding reduction in steam-heating
rates, and our engineering staff has
rince that date, been making from
time to time an analysis of your fuel
costs.
"They have reported that to date
the reduced percentage of hog fuel
available and the cost of its transpor
tation from a distance has so in
creased your fuel cost that probably
no decrease in rates could be Justified
at this time, if these past conditions
were to continue.
"However, it has come to our at
tention that your percentage of avail
able hog fuel has recently been aug
mented, and we also feel that the ex
pected revival of the lumber industry
will make cheaper fuel available.
"In view of this and in the light of
our latest analysis we earnestly re
quest that you make a careful esti
mate of your present and prospective
operating conditions with a view to
reducing your steam-heating rates.
"We urge such a reduction, though it
Jje sBght."
BUYING DF COAL SHORT
R VI LAVA Y OFFICIAL SUGGESTS
LAYING IN WINTER FUEL.
Mines Dave His Stocks and. Cars
Available, "Whereas Later Crops
Will Prevent Deliveries.
The memory of the Portland public
should be jogged so householders will
put in their winter's supply of coal.
was the declaration yesterday of
H. E. Lounsbury, general freight
agent for the Oregon - Washington
Railroad & Navigation company. He
said that, with every facility now
available to serve consumers, post
ponement is the rule and later on,
when cars are busy with grain crops,
no doubt there will be a big demand
for coal when it will be impossible
to obtain it.
"The movement of coal into Port
land and the surrounding territory
from the Wyoming and Utah mines,"
said Mr. Lounsbury, "is considerably
below what it was at this time last
year. The present condition indicates
consumers are not stocking up for
the winter.
"Now is the time when the mines
can supply and cars are available for
hauling. Indeed, this is the time coal
should be moved from the mines to
the market, otherwise there is a
likelihood of a congestion of orders
and a shortage at the time of possi
ble severe weather.
"There is no prospect of any re
ductions of freight rates on coal for
this season s production."
SEATTLE INVITES POWERS

Japanese Problem.

RELIEF FOB RUSSIA
STARTED BY HOOVER
Soviet Promise to Release
Americans Gets Results.
DELIVERY TO BE AWAITED
Food Will Not Cross Border Until
Prisoners Are Safely Out of
Hands of Bolsheviks.
WASHINGTON. D. G, Aug. 1. Prep
aration for the relief of starving
Russian children was ordered begun
today by Secretary Hoover, as chair
man of the American relief adminis
tration, on receipt of a cable from
Maxim Gorky transmitting the soviet
authorities' unconditional acceptance
of his offer of aid.
Mr. Hoover instructed Walter Lyman
Brown at London, European director
for the relief administration, to pro
ceed immediately to Riga to negotiate
with the soviet representatives con
cerning the details of supplying food.
He was cautioned, however, that nego
tiations should only be begun after
the American prisoners have been de
livered out of Russia as demanded by
the state department.
"Would be glad If you would pro
ceed at once to Riga," Mr. Hoover
cabled Mr. Brown. "It is. of course,
to be assumed that the prisoners will
have been delivered out of Russia as
demanded by the state department
before you open discussions. You will
please advise Messrs. Gorky and
Kameneff."
Mr. Hoover made public the com
munication from the soviet govern
ment transmitted by Maxim Gorky,
the official text differing from that
appearing in press dispatches only
slightly, due to translation.
Food shipments from Danzig, Mr.
Hoover said, could begin immediately
upon an agreement with the Rus
sians. There would be no publlO
appeal for funds to finance the work,
he said, as the administration had
considerable resources and would un
doubtedly be assisted by similar
American organizations.
It would reauire, Mr. Hoover esti
mated, between $1,250,000 to $1,500,000
a month to conduct the fight in Rus
sia-
First food shipments probably would
e-o to the Petrograa area, tne com
merce secretary said, as that district
was the most accessible. Medical, as
well as food, supplies would be
shipped, he added, and an effort made
to combat cholera there.
TERRIBLE PLOT IS SCENTED
England and America Declared to
Be Planning Revolution.
RIGA, Aug. 1. (By the Associated
Press.) While Russia is appealing
for foreign aid for her starving peo
pie, the executive committee of the
third internationale today sent out
from Moscow by radio an appeal to
the world proletariat in which it was
charged that the "governments of
England and America desire the Rus
sian working classes to permit them
t exchange a piece of bread for the
opportunity of ' organizing counter
revolutions on Russian soil."
The appeal charges that France al
ready Is organizing a plot, together
with Roumania and Poland, to attack
the soviet at the opportune moment.
The appeal asks the proletariat to
frustrate' these plots at their roots
and not permit the governments to
make any conditions for granting
aid.
Russia considers it will be possible
soon to realize a loan in France, Le
onid Krassin, the soviet trade repre
sentative, today declared' in an inter
view with Rosta news agency here.
He said he had already received sev
eral offers of credit abroad.
M. Krassin said the crop failure In
Russia had compelled alterations in
the project of buying abroad and that
at present the main attention was
being devoted to buying foodstuffs
and seed grain. He said the first
locomotives ordered abroad would ar
rive in August.
