was believed, would apply to about
75 per cent of all imports.
Where no comparable and competi
tive American-made article is found,
the duty would be assessed on the
American wholesale selling price of a
comparable and competitive, imported
commodity.
In event no such basis existed, then
the duty would be levied on the value
of the article in its homeland, at
the time of export, plus necessary ex
penses to an American export and
a reasonable profit, totaling not less
than 16 per cent of the article's
value.
If no basis is found in the first
three alternatives, the basis of as
sessment would revert to the pro
duction cost, plus the necessary ex
pense of laying the shipment down
in America.

Tort Commissioners Brown and
Butler Appear Ahead by
Biff Majority.
KEEDSTORT. Or.. Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) At the special recall election
affecting the Umpqua board of port
commissioners. J. L. Brown and Jo
seph R, Butler are retained In office
by an overwhelming majority. In
complete returns show for Brown 656
votes and for Butler 568, while for
the recall candidates J. L. Christie
received only 140 votes and John
Henderer 132.
This vote -would Indicate that the
people of the port district are over
whelmingly In, favor of the progres
sive platform of the present port
commission as opposed . to the non
progressive views of the recall can
didates. - Reedsport, the largest precinct In
the port district, polled 556 votes and
tonight Is celebrating the victory of
progress with bands and parades.
ROSEBTJRG, Or., Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) One of the most heated elec
tions ever held la Douglas county
took place today In the port of
Umpqua district, the purpose being to
vote upon, the recall of J. R. Browne
and J. R, Butler, port commissioners,
who have been attacked on the
grounds of forcing through the com
mission's policy over the objections
of a majority of the taxpayers and
of refusing to allow the records of
the commission to be inspected.
The election was brought by the
Taxpayers' league of the port of
Umpqua, and Is largely a sectional
fight between Gardiner and Reeds
port. The port commission authorized
the issuance of $250,000 in bonds, of
which amount $85,000 was provided
for the construction of a dredge) It
was charged by the Taxpayers'
league, which Is composed largely of
the Gardiner faction, that the bonds
would be spent entirely for the bene
fit of the city of Reedsport and that
the dredge would be used to fill In
the lowlands of that city.
A petition calling for a referendum
on the ordinance was submitted, but
Is said it was not recognized. The
league also complained that rep
resentatives of the organization were
not allowed to meet with the com
mission and that the books were kept
secreted by the commission, and
could not b inspected.
Alleging that this constituted
arbitrary action, the league forced
through a recall petition, and the
election was held today. Because of
the intense feeling between the two
factions, the vote was exceptionally
large, and special officers were de
tailed to prevent illegal voting. John
Henderer and J. T. Christie were the
league's candidates for the position
of commissioners.
VALUATION PLM FOUND
AMERICAN BASIS ACCEPTED
WITH CUAXOES.
Dye Embargo Xot Regarded Likely
In Tarlrf Bill Xow Being
Formed by Committee.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 12. The
American valuation plan of assessing
duties on Imported merchandise, with
modifications and limitations proposed
by republican members of the senate
finance committee, was accepted today
at a Joint conference by republican
members of the house ways and
means committee and the programme
will be recommended to the senate as
& part of the permanent tariff bill.
An attempt also was made at the
conference to determine whether the
next tariff law would contain a dye
embargo. Although no formal action
was taken. It was indicated that the
republican leaders would provide high
protective rates for the dye industry,
but probably would not favor the
suggested three-year embargo. A
Joint committee, composed of Sena
tors Smoot of Utah and Dillingham
of Vermont and Representatives
Longworth of Ohio and Frear of Wis
consin, was named to study the rate
question.
The house members also agreed to
an amendment by the finance com
mittee to the Longworth resolution
extending the life of the emergency
tariff law, as well as the dye em
bargo, to January 1, or until super
seded by the permanent law.
Even with the changes. Chairman
Fordney of the ways and means com
mlttee declared that a "distinct vic
tory" had been won for the Ameri
can valuation plan.
Changes made by the finance com
mlttee republicans. experts said,
would make the valuation plan more
workable and less likely to result In
litigation. As worked out by the ex
perts and accepted by the joint con
ference, ad valorem duties would be
assessed on the basis of the Ameri

imports where comparable and com
petitive articles of domestic manu

Trunk Found In Lake Is Identi

of Missing Bride.
SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 12. lyines
were drawn today for a court battle
In the case of James E. Mahoney, who
will go on trial here for his life on
the charge of murdering his wealthy,
elderly- bride. Following his ar
raignment yesterday, Mahoney today
was reported indisposed, and he re
fused to 'see visitors at the county
jail.
Police said he had been consist
ently taciturn and uncommunicative
since a body found in a trunk in
Lake Union here last Monday was
Identified as that of his missing wife.
The authorities expressed little hope
of obtaining further information flora
the prisoner, and prepared to go to
trial on the case of circumstantial
evidence, while defense counsel indi
cated that Mahoney would deny
everything contended by the state.
Lee Johnson, Mahoney's counsel, in
dicated that it would be contended
the body taken from Lake Union here
Monday, and which has been declared
by police and relatives of the woman
to be Mrs. Mahoney's, was that of
some other person.
A development in the case today
was the positive assertion by Mrs!
Carrie Hewitt, niece of Mrs. Mahoney,
that the trunk in which the body was
found had belonged to her aunt.
Detectives said establishment of
Mrs. Mahoney's ownership of the
trunk practically completed the chain
of evidence necessary to identify the
body as that of Mrs. Mahoney.

$7500 Salary Paid to Attorney
Who Isn't AVorth 75 Cents.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. Crltl

bate Chairman Lasker of the ship
ping board was the subject' of de
bate. Representative Walsh, repub
lican, Massachusetts, chairman of the
committee which recently lnvesti
gated shipping board affairs, de
clared he was pretty strong on
promises but seemed to be pretty
weak on facts, and Representative
Oliver, democrat, Alabama, said that
the shipping board chairman in
dulged in "wild dreams," and was
persistently "seeking notoriety in
newspaper headlines.
Mr. Madden declared that Mr.
Lasker had found things in a chaotic
condition, and urged that he be given
"six months" to show what he could
do.
Questioning the advisability of
paying some of the salaries, Repre
sentative Wood, republican, Indiana,
said he knew of, en attorney receiv
ing J7500 a year from the shipping
board who previously never had
earned "more than $2000," and
"wasn't worth 75 cents."

Military Authority Says Getting
Rid of Surplus Equipment Is
Bothersome Army Problem.
Major-General William M. Wright,
commander of the ninth army corps,
with headquarters in San Francisco,
whose chest is covered with service
bare and medals significant of heroic
service in France during the world
war, spent several hours in Portland
yesterday. The general was accom
panied by his son. Lieutenant Will
iam M. Wright Jr, and Major
Charles Bridge, military attache of
the British embassy In Washington,
D. C.
During the past ten days General
Wright has been making an inspec
tion of the military posts of the
northwest.
His record for service during the
recent war is particularly " brilliant.
He organized the 35th division, com
posed of Kansas and Missouri na
tional guard troops, and saw it trained
to an efficient organization. He took
the division to France and then was
transferred to the 89th division, fol
lowing the removal of Major-General
Leonard Wood from its command.
General Wright commanded the
89th through the St. Mihiel and
Meuse-Argonne drives and then at
various periods following the armis
tice commanded the first, third and
fifth army corps.
General Like Coast.
"I was greatly pleased when or
ders came some time ago for me to
come to the Pacific coast to command
the ninth corps," said the general.
'I fell in love with the country years
ago when stationed at old Fort Spo
kane. After a man has had a season
of service out here and is moved east
he always holds a longing to return
to the Pacific."
While here General Wright had a
reunion with his former division in
spector, E, C. Sammons, who served
with the 35th division in France with
the rank of lieutenant-colonel.
That the problem of demobilizing
the regular army and bringing it
down to the standard set by the
congressional legislation passed is
more difficult than the layman imag
ines, is the opinion of General
Wright.
Surplus Equipment Is Problem.
"The cutting down of the person
nel is not the greatest problem the
army faces," said the general. "The
big thing is getting rid of surplus
equipment. Congress calls for econ
omy, and cuts down the army to se
cure the same. The war left us with
millions of dollars worth of surplus
equipment which must be sold. The
economical thing to do would be to
use the soldiers to get rid of this ma
terial, but the personnel has been so
cut down that men are not available
for this work and civilians must be
employed at a much greater expense."
General Wright stated that the re
cent legislation had so affected the
army that there is a real scarcity of
second lieutenants. At Camp Lewis
there is but one second lieutenant in
sewlce and he is a veterinarian.

bond issue and disbursed, and that

may be considered valid that may
bring this sum up another $5,000,000.

"I think it's nothing less than won

built me up. While I managed to keep
on my feet most of the time, for sev

down condition. I lost my appetite
and the little I ate seemed to do me
more harm than good. I was so
nervous I scarcely ever got any rest
ful sleep at night and in the morning
felt so miserable that I could hardly
get up. Finally rheumatism got me
in its clutches and was especially bad
in my left shoulder and arm and in
my back.
"I had taken only a few doses of
Tanlac when I began to have a good
appetite, and It wasn't long before
my digestion was absolutely perfect.
My nerves soon quieted down and I
sleep all night long without waking

medicine ever would help me as much
as Tanlac has."
