Authorities Blame Communists for
Trouble Police Stand By
Helpless in Riot.
VIENNA, Dec. 1. (By the Associ
ated Press.) Rioting of a serious
nature broke out In Vienna today
following a great demonstration be
fore the parliament building, where
red flags were raised on Improvised
masts. The crowds then began
smashing windows and looting Bhops
dealing in articles of luxury. f
Large crowds also attacked a num
ber of fashionable hotels, mostly
those where foreigners reside. The
New Bristol was. the first of. these
hostelrles to be assaulted; Its great
doors were battered down, thus per
mitting the crowds to pour through
lrto the building: They began to
break windows, some of which were
as high as the third floor, and to hurl
bedding and furniture Into the raob
crowded in the btreet below.
The old Bristol hotel later suf
fered the same fate, Its costlj furni
ture being harled out to the cheer
ing crowds.
The Grand hotel, the largest in 'the
city, and the Hotel Imperial, also
were looted.
The Vienna police were apparently
l.elpless, many , squads of them being
seen standing quietly by .as on
lookers. S .
Scenes of plundering occurred
throughout the entire city. Thous
ands of dollars' worth ofplate glass
was smashed until - the principal
streets this afternoon looked like the
wreck of a hurricane.
Authorities expressed their belief
that .the disturbance was traceable to
communist origin. It came very sud
denly during a demonstration against
the high cost of food.' staged in front
of the parliament building, in which
many thousands joined. During the
demonstrations gangs suddenly ap
peared in the central part of the city
and began their work of destruction

INFLUENCE AS ALLY USED
Question Again Submitted to
Tokio by Delegates.
DEADLOCK NOT ADMITTED
English Find Double Interest In
Success of Negotiations
Now Cnder Way.
WASHINGTON. D. G. Dec. 1. (By
the Associated Press.) Great Britain,
as the ally of Japan, is using her in
fluence to bring Japanese views in
the naval ratio dispute into harmony
with those of the United States.
With this development Japanese
plenipotentiaries again have submit
ted the question to Tokio.
The nature of the latest move for a
solution of the ratio problem was not
J disclosed, but it was indicated that
j Great Britain has found a double in
terest in the success of the negotia
tions, because she has accepted in
principle the American 5-5-3 pro
posal and because, on the other hand,
she is in alliance with Japan, which
asks for a ratio of 10-10-7.
Deadlock Wot Admitted.
All principals on both sides refused
tonight to recognize the situation as
a deadlock. The American delegates,
It was said authoritatively, were even
declining to regard Baron Kato's pro
posal for an Increased Japanese
strength as a formal presentation of
the Japan viewpoint They were con
fident. It was declared, that the
10-10-7 proportion would be aban
doned before Japan's final statement
of position Is placed before the con
ference. It was apparent that if the pro
posal of the Japanese statesman was
not to regarded as formal, the rea
son lay in the fact that it was "not
passed across the table" at. a formal
Besslon of the conference, or any of
itg subdivisions.
Opposition Made Plain.
Baron Kato's request for an In
crease over the American ratio was
communicated to Secretary Hughes
and A. J. Balfour at a meeting .of
the three Tuesday. In relating his
government's position, the Japanese
plenipotentiary touched on the rea
sons which Impelled him to make the
request and asked that the question
of national needs be taken, into ac
count .in determining the new naval
relativity. '
In response. Secretary Hughes and
Mr. Balfour made plain the opposi
tion of the American and British
delegations to vitally changing the
basis of ratio determination, and

PRESIDENT TO PLEAD
. FOR TARIFF REVISE!
CONTENTS' OF MESP . TO
NEW CONGRESS I?" ATED.
V"
o
Definite Stand T jted to ' Be
Taken Conces g Merchant
Marine Questions.
WASHINGTON, D. G. Dec 1.
President Harding's message to the
new congress next week, the presi
dent intimated tonight, will deal prin
cipally with the tariff and the mer
chant marine.
Of the tariff Mr. Harding is expect
ed to say Its revision and passage as
early as possible is urgently neces
sary and that it should be stripped
of such provisions as would endanjjer
or 'unduly delay passage.
Concerning merchant marine ques
tions he is expected to take a definite
stand for the granting of some sort
of ship subsidy, probably in the na
ture of preferential rates and routes,
as supplementary to the granting of
free tolls to coastwise shipping
through the Panama canal. It was
expected also that the president
would discrss section 24 of the Jones
act, dealing with the abrogation of
trade treaties by the executive. Study
of the situation was said to have de
veloped a feeling by administration
officials that it would be difficulty If
not impossible, to carry out provisions
of this section.
Tariff matters, senate leaders In
stated, will occupy the prominent po
sition in the message. It was assert
ed Mr. Harding would ask that rates
in tho house bill, now in the hands
of the senate finance committee, be
fixed on the old basis of Invoice val
ues rather than on the house provi
sion of American wholesale valuation.
His reason for that stand, according
to some of bis counselors, was that
he had been assured it would be bet
ter to apply the new system piece
meal than by employing the plan on
all commodities at once.
To that end, it was stated, the pres
ident is expected to urge an optional
provision in the. measure, empower
ing him to apply the home value basis
where, after certain surveys, it is
found to be advisable or necessary.
.Mr. Harding went into details of
the legislative programme at a din
ner tonight, attended by Senators
Lodge, republican leader"; Curtis of
Kansas, Penrose of Pennsylvania and
Watson of Indiana. It was under
stood that the president requested
and the senate leaders agreed that
the allied debt refunding bill should
be taken up immediately and rushed
to passage. -
- As a result of the agreement, Mr.
Harding was expected to omit refer
ence to the funding measure in his
message. It Was stated, however,
that the president had requested all
senators with whom he has con
ferred In the last few days to lend
their assistance in having the bill
enacted..
The president was represented as
believing some alterations should
be made in the house tariff provisions
with respect to American valuations.
It was also predicted after the con
ference that Mr. Harding would not
discuss the question o4 adjusted com
pensation for ex-service men in his
message. Indications also were given,
it was declared, that in addition to
discussing merchant marine questions
prominently, he would also take them
up in a later address. I
ONE BULLET THOUGHT
TO HAVE KILLED TWO
CLATSKANIE IS PUZZLED
DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
BY
Ben Birkenfleld, Night Jfarshal,
and O. D. Hicks, Shoemaker,
Found in Hallway, Dead.
CLATSKANIE, Or., Dec. 1. (Spe
cial.) Ben Birkenfleld, 70, night mar
shal here, and O. D. Hicks, a shoe
maker, were found . dead here this
morning, both, it ' is believed, killed
accidentally by one bullet from the
night marshal's revolver:
Mr. Hicks had Just moved Into an.
apartment over the Waters grocery.
It is supposed that the marshal, see
ing the light in the apartment, went
up the stairway to investigate, and
fell from the head of the stairs, frac
turing his skull., '
yMr. Hicks and his brother-in-law,
Harry Miller, ran out to investigate.
They heard the marshal groaning be
low, and Mr. Hicks ran down the
stairs to investigate. Mr. Miller heard
the shot-and found both men dying.
Mr. Hicks' son said his father had
picked up the marshal to carry him
inside and that the marshal had par
tially recovered consciousness. The
boy said the marshal raised his re
volver evidently to shoot M?. Hicks,
but had fired when the weapon point
ed at his own eye.
The Hicks apartment had been
vacant! When the family moved In
the railing was removed from the top
of the stairway so that a piano might
be moved Into the house. It U
thought that the ' marshal believed
burglars were in the apartment, and
walked off the landing at the top of
the stairs.
Mr. Birkenfleld had been night
marshal for years. He is survived
Pby three daughters, Mrs. Anna Lewis.
Mrs. Emma Jubenville and Mrs. Flora
Garrison, besides a son, Paul.
Mr. Hicks Is survived by a widow
and two children..

A sudden, violent wind storm vis
ited Portland and vicinity yesterday
afternoon, rocked the city to its
foundations, afforded vast amusement
for pedestrians, and passed on, leav
ing a wake of destruction.
Probably the most ' severe damage
was done to telephone and electric
light systems. Scores of poles were
blown down, trees were hurled across
wires and such havoc was wrought
in general that officials of both the
telephone company and Portland
Railway, Light & Power company
were unable last night to give any
thing approaching an accurate esti
mate of the damage.
The storm did great damage In
Laurelhurst park. Early in its prog
ress it overpowered some of the fine
large fir trees in the park, swaying
them until they snapped off, and tear
ing off large limbs from other trees,
strewing the park with debris.
I.arare Trees Felled.
As the storm increased in fury the
large firs began to lose the'r battle
with the wind, and in all sections of
the park there were resounding
crashes that could be heard for sev
eral blocks. Many large trees were
blown down or broken off from eight
to 15 feet from the ground.
The men employed at the park
blockaded all entrances as soon as the
severe character of the wind storm
was realized, and in this work some
of the men had narrow escapes from
being hit by flying limbs from the
trees.

Lipman, Wolfe & Co. store. A big
plate glass window in the Woolworth
store was also shattered, as well as
one in the display room of the Willys
Overland Pacific company at Broad
way and Davis street.
The weather bureau reported the
official maximum wind velocity at
Portland for the day at 41 miles an
hour. Thlf is the nighest wind re
corded here since 1902. when the same
figure was reached. The highest wind
velocity ever recorded here' was 55
miles an hour. The weather bureau's
telegraph wire to North Head went
out early In the gale, so no official re
port was received from the mouth of
the river. A brief note received from
Astoria, however, reported that the
wind velocity there at noon was 60
miles an hour, and at 1 P. M. was 75
miles an hour.
Vessels Buffeted About.
The barometer at Portland started
dropping at 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing and storm warnings were imme
diately ordered for all points on the
Oregon and Washington coasts. In
12 hours the glass had gone down .70
of an inch. Then it started up again
as rapidly as it had fallen.

BY BEN HUR LAMPMAN.
It is rumored that It rains in
France. The doughboys brought the
story home. And that Is why, per
haps, the weather grew gusty and
vigorous yesterday, with rain squalls
racing acrocs the face of Oregon, to
welcome Marshal Foch, first soldier
of France, and to bid him farewell.
Yet on the Columbia river highway,
which he stoutly insisted upon tou
tng despite the storm, tho marshal
alighted from his closed car and bent
his head to the wind and walked a
long mile to prove himself the cam
paigner that he Is. "He seemed to
like It," said the astounded legion
naires and the civic officials who
ventured the trip with him.
f
Greeting IB Triumphant.
Hereafter, when Portland folk date
history, they will recall the day that
Marshal Foch was here, for the greet
ing they gave him was triumphant
of the weather and typical of that
American sentiment which has kin
dled toward him along the trans
continental course of his friendly
visit.
The day was filled with events, his
reception in the morning, his greet
ing to those who as comrades and of
ficials were privileged to a few mo
