WASHINGTON. D. C Oct. 24. Sec retary Hughes and other members of the American delegation to the con ference on limitation of armament were in conference today for more than two hours with Secretary DenDy, Assistant Secretary Koosevelt. Ad miral CoonU, chief of naval opera tions, and Captain W. B. Pratt of the general board. After the session Mr Hughes said he could not disclose what had transpired further than to say that general subjects relating to the agenda had been discussed and It had been deemed advisable to call In navy officials for that purpose. The fact that Secretary Denby and his advisers were summoned led to the conclusion that the preliminary review and discussion of data pre pared for the conference had reached a plont where formulation of some proposal for limitation of naval arma ment had been taken up by the Amer ican group. Secretary Hughes, how ever, would not Indicate what had been discussed. The delegation consisted In addition to Secretary Hughes, of Senators Lodge and Underwood and Klihu Koot. It has been generally agreed among government officials that the formu lation of a programme for the limita tion of naval armament would be the most serious problem to face the conference, even if the delegates suc ceeded in eliminating causes for fric tion In the far cast, during their dis cussion of far eastern and l'acific problems. The naval group to act as advisers for the American delegates has not been named, but the attendance today of Mr. Roosevelt and Admiral CoonU. and Captain Pratt, led to an expecta tion that they might be appointed. Secretary Hughes said he had been tn touch with the navy department In connection with Its preparation of data, but that it had been advisable to call the navy officials Into confer ence with the delegation. Navy officers are known to have been engaged since the invitation for the Washington, conference was d cided on by President Harding, in a study of questions involved in any proposal to limit sea armament or to reduce existing forces. They are also understood to have encountered dif ficulties In preparing a programme for recommendations to the govern ment and the delegation, their con sideration having ranged over a wide field and taken in many factors not directly allied In the public mind with naval armament.

SALEM. Or.. Oct. 14 (Special.) Fred A. William, chairman of the Oregon public service commission, re turned here today from Atlan-ta. Ga.. where he attended the annual con vention of the national railway and public utility commissioners. He also passed a few days In New Orleans conferring with the officials of the grain inspection department. Although the facilities or the Ore gon grain Inspection department were pronounced by Mr. Williams equal to those in New Orleans, he said the expense of conducting the eastern In stitution was less than In this state for the reason that practically all the grain was handled in bulk. This, he said, eliminated the cost of sacking the grain and greatly reduced the cost of loading and unloading the veeseis handling the product from the New Orleans port. The 1925 exposition in Portland Is popular throughout the east, Mr. WI1 iiis said, and thousands of people from New York, Illinois and ether states east of the Mississippi river are planning to visit Oregon at that time. While in Atlanta Mr. Williams was fleeted a member of the executive committee of the national railway and !ubllc utilities commission. Cbarlea William Mallett, Mal heur county pioneer, dies in Portland. the development of irrigation in east ern Oregon, died yesterday in Port land following a general breakdown. Mr. Mallett was born In Lee, Me. After an early life of adventure as a sailor, he came to California in the 60s. He moved to Ontario in 1883 and took up a homestead In the Malheur valley between Ontario and Vale. With a view to the ultimate possi bilities of the valley Mr. Mallett or ganized the Nevada Ditch company, the first irrigation project in the county. In the development of his own land holdings Mr. Mallett undertook the first sub-drainage system on irri gated lands In Oregon. Mr. Mallett, with Will R. King of the reclamation service and C. E.. S. Wood, recognised the need of govern ment aid In the development of Mal heur arid lands. He was one of the leading figures in the fight for gov ernment aid In the Warm Springs ir rigation project. During the winter or 1916. he and Colonel Wood made a special trip to Washington and suc ceeded in winning government rec ognition and a promise of aid for their project, but the ground gained was lost later. Mr. Mallett was recognized as an authority in practical irrigation work. Daring the development or the arid districts in the northwest, he had alwaysv been a delegate and speaker in the Irrigation congress meetings. In private life Mr. Mallett was a striking figure. Bearded, stalwart of frame, even in his advanced years, he had a great deal of physical vigor and energy. During the last harvest sea son Mr. Mallett took his regular place In the fields and worked from dawn till dark. He had 800 acres of land In his ranch and farm holdings and with the aid of his sons did 'most of the work. Mr. Mallett Is survived by his wid ow and nine children, four boys and fiwe girls. A fifth by died from the effects of influenza, contracted while In the army during the war. Mr. Mallett's body will be shipped to Ontario today and funeral, services will be held later In the week under the direction of the Acacia Masonic lodge of Ontario. Mr. Mallett was well known through out the entire state. His closest as sociates were: Colonel Wood, the late Phil Metsohan Sr.. Will R. King and William Hanlcy. W. J. Cuddy, editor of the Weekly Orcgonlan, is a friend of long standing. Following are the members of his family: The widow, Mrs. Mary W.

V THE LANPHER HAT.'" Nippon Given to Understand That in Event of Clash Britain Would Be With America. LONDON, Oct. 14. In the event of a clash on the Pacific or elsewhere in volving the United States, Great Brit ain would support the United States. according to the personal opinion voiced by Lord Northcliffe In an inter view with Japanese newspaper men, says a dispatch to the London Times from Manila. "Lord Northcliffe," the dispatch de clared, "has repeatedly commented on the amazing generosity of the United States in the handling of the Philip pines problem and the treatment of the Filipino people. He has been deeply impressed with the school sys tem established by the Americans and has said there is none better any where. He asked various Filipino statesmen how the Philippines would or could carry on if America should get out. Without exception the ques tion remained unanswered, except by puzzled silence. He told them they al ready had all the essentials of inde pendence, plus Immunity from inter national entanglements bestowed by a great beneficent power through Amer ican world prestige ana military power. "Moreover," he said, "President Har ding had sent them General Leonard Wood, who not only was a great American but a great international fiiture who Lord Cromer years ago said probably was the most robust and able colonial administrator of modern times." In an editorial dealing with North cliffe's interview, the London Times declared that if Japan holds peace to be the only object consistent with her Immediate and ultimate welfare, the Washington conference will offer her "unequaled opportunity for securing co-operation with other Pacific pow ers." "The British empire," it adds, "Is an ally of Japan, but on the question of renewing the alliance in some form British opinion is divided. Were we to accept as representative some of the views of the alliance that have found expression in Japan we might be justified in concluding that influ ential sections of Japanese opinion now set little store by it. The Times says it does not accept these opinions any more than it does the idea that militarist designs pro claimed by certain Japanese elements necessarily represent a predominant influence in Japanese politics. It says it knows come elements in Japan "have by imprudent propaganda cre ated the impression that the ultimate aims of Japanese policy may be at variance with those which wisdom would dictate." MISS VAN GORDON SINGS Interpretation Shows Association With Chicago Grand Opera Folk. A tall, commanding figure, easy gracefulness in platform appearance. deep, fine contralto voice, and a good taste in selection of songs, marked the concert in the public au ditorium last night by Cyrena Van Gordon, contralto, of the Chicago Opera association. The concert was one of the Elwyn concert bureau. The pianist was Alma Putnam of Chicago, and her accompaniments were quite satisfactory. Miss Van Gordon shows her asso ciation with the Chicago opera people In the dramatic Interpretation with which she Invested many of her solos last night. But in singing songs, she ever remembered that she was in con cert and fashioned her renditions accordingly. Admiral Horthy'a forces were ordered I to attack. Prior to Charles' capture the gov ernment handed the following terms to his emissary, who sought to nego tiate a truce: "Laying down of arms uncondition ally by the royalists; the king's mili tary advisers to be courtmartialed. the troops to be disarmed and granted amnesty; definite abdication by the king; Charles to remain interned in Hungary until bis extradition is set tled; a definite residence for Charles and arrangements for his departure to be fixed by the great powers; the king's political advisers to be pros ecuted." - These conditions were handed to Dr. Grata, the former Hungarian min ister of finance. who undertook to transmit them to Charles and recom mend their acceptance. No answer was received and the military operations were continued. COCRTMARTIAL IS DEMANDED Hungary Insists on Prosecution of Political Advisors. VIENNA. Oct. 24. The Hungarian government today demanded the un conditional surrender of Charles, a court-martial of his military advisers, prosecution of his political advisiers and disarming of bis troops, who will be granted amnesty, according to dis patches. The government resolved on the ab dication and internment of Charles pending arrangements by the powers for his deportation. Admiral Horthy, regent of Hun gary, Issued the followrng proclama tion to the Hungarian army: "Your regent has received your oath of allegiance in person. Of this oath he solemnly reminds you. On the regent devolves the duty of relin quishing his vested rights back into the hands of his sovereign. "At this moment such a proceed ing would mean the ruin of your country. I, therefore, expect your un conditional obedience and absolute execution of every one of my orders." Owing to the censorship only offi cial reports by Admiral Horthy are being transmitted from Hungary. Count Andrassy Arrested. LONDON, Oct. 24.

Youth, Accused of Stealing Revol ver, Still Faces Charges of 'Robbing Pedestrians. Because a stenographer in the ofHce of the "district attorney neglected to add the figure "1" to a criminal complaint charging Alfred Manning with the theft of a revolver, the youth escaped trial in municipal court yesterday and obtained his freedom. The complaint should have read that the crime was committed In July, 1821, but due to the stenographers error, the indictment set forth that the theft occurred In July, 192. After the state had presented Its testimony to the court, the defense counsel moved for a dismissal on the grounds that the statute of limita tions had run against the crime. "The complaint charges the . theft was committed in the year, 192, and surely the statute of limitations has long since expired." argued Earl Bernard, attorney for young Man ning. . "There Is nothing else I can do; the supreme court some time ago de cided a case identical to this," Judge Rossman said. "The defendant is dis charged." Planning still faces charges for several crimes. He has confessed to passing numerous bad checks on local merchants, and the grand jury now has under investigation charges that he was the highwayman who held up and robbed pedestrians on the west side several weeks ago.

ON Local Manager of St. Louis Stove Manufacturers, Announces Company's Project. Felix Isherwood, Portland manager for Bridge, Beach & Co., St. Louis stove manufacturers, yesterday an nounced his Intention to erect a new business structure covering one full block at Fourteenth and GUsan streets. His plans are conditional however, upon the launching of the 1925 exposition, he said. "Having been a citixen of Portland for the last SO years, I am an eye witness to the great forward strides taken by the Hose City as the result of the Lewis and Clark fair," said Mr. Isherwood. 'That great fair, dwarfed as it will be by the one to come, could not but impress . every Portlander who witnessed it and noted the de velopment it brought in its train. "I would not now go ahead with building plans I have were It not Keep It Up IT'S amazing how many people open ac counts at banks, and within a very short time, often before they have earned any in terest, close them.

Knowing what the other fair has done, there Is no doubt In my mind that the 1926 ex position will accomplish vastly more. "Nothing else will so benefit the state as the proposed exposition. 1 figure the advertising alone we will receive will be worth all the money that will be spent. Already the people of the east have heard of the fair. "There is no doubt In my mind that the 1925 exposition will settle the vacant lands of the state as nothing else can. The country will grow and that spells the success of the cities. If the fair were proposed for Port land's good alone, I would take no Interest in It." , Alvln Olson Dies. BEND, Or., Oct. 24.

Oregon Products Oregon is famous for its lumber industry, its fish eries, its wheat production and its fruit growing. From these four great industries develops largely the volume of Oregon trade throughout the state and to the world outside. In each case two things are vital to the industry communication and transportation. The long distance telephone supplies the former, the railroads the latter. From the city to the production field must flow a con stant stream of supplies and labor. From the source of supply must come an ever increasing volume of these products. The Pacific Long Distance lines cover the state. They supply the principal means of communication be tween the'eity and the country, between the market and ?the source of supply. Increasing use of long distance lines means more trade and production in Oregon. Ask for Pacific Long Distance or dial 211 from Auto matic telephones.
