Establishment by the federal gov ernment of a strict quarantine on the shipment of plants susceptible to the white and sugar pine blister rust, and the passage of laws by western states tor the destruction of the black cur rant, a plant which carries the dis ease and transmits it to pine trees, were some of the outstanding recom mendations made at the closing ses sion yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce of the feathering of vari ous interests looking to the eradica tion of the blister rust. The meeting, which was held at the Call of H. P. Earsa, commissioner for the west on the advisory board of American plant pathologists and pathologists for the Oregon Agricul tural college experiment station, not only outlined a programme for con ducting the fight on the blister rust. iut also appointed an executive com mittee to take up with congress and the various state legislatures of the ft needed legislation. The federal government also will be asked for an appropriation, it was announced, for the conduct of the general campaign. W. D. Humiston of Potlatch, Idaho, Was chosen chairman of the execu tive committee. Other members are C. A. Park, president of the Oregon state board of horticulture, Salem. nd H. P. Barns. C. S. Chapman, of me western Forestry Conservation association at Portland, was chosen executive secretary of the committee. Yesterday's session was devoted to reports of committees. One resolution urged that the federal board of hor ticulture establish a quarantine on piants susceptible to the disease, pro hibiting their shipment from the sec tion of Washington west of the Cas cades. It Is in this section and Van couver Island that the disease has made its appearance recently. Continued Control- Urged. The same resolution urged the con tinuance by the office of blister rust control of terminal inspection of ship ments of plants in order to intercept any which might carry the disease. The various states also were urged to emiploy all facilities in the enforce ment of terminal inspection in mails. The postofflce department was urged to establish special windows for the reception and delivery of plants sent by mail so that close inspection could be carried out. The gathering adopted a resolution urging nuiwery men of the west to eo-operate for the destruction of the disease by the destruction of all black currants and five-leaf pines and by discontinuing the growing and sell ing of these plants which are suscept ible to the disease. A campaign of scouting and educa tion throughout the west with a view to the detection of possible outbreaks of the disease so that it could be con trolled also was urged. It was aug geeted that schools, county agents and boy scouts co-operate in this work. This was said to have been tried out In Canada with successful results. Committees Make Reports. Committees representing various Interests represented at the gathering brought in reports expressing a de sire to co-operate in every way in bringing about the destruction of the disease. Among the various interests represented by special committees were the transportation companies, nursery companies, public and private timber interests, forest fire organiza tions and state forestry agricultural And horticultural departments. After the adoption of the pro gramme for protection of an industry declared to be worth fully $200,000,000 iu the west, the meeting adjourned to meet next year at a date to be set litter. JURY HUS 1B0EB CASE imiBKIlY AXD PERJURY HINT ED AT TOY CIIOXG TRIAL. Reputed Tong Gunman Declared to Have Bought North End Aid to Defeat Justice. Thinly veiled accusations of brib ery and perjury were made by Mau rice E. Crumpacker, deputy district attorney, in his closing argument to tl e Jury yesterday in the trial of Toy Chong for the murder of Wong Gee. He waxed somewhat sarcastic at the array of north end habitues brought In by the defense to counteract tes timony of eye-witnesses produced by the state. On the other hand, John' A. Collier nd Earl F. Bernard, attorneys for the di-fense, contended that the only truth came from the lips of defense w itnesses, and that th prosecution's lineup of evidence was flimsy and false. The case went to the Jury at 3:30 o'clock and it had not returned at a late hour last night. Toy, alleged by the state to be a Suey Sing gunman, was charged with killing Wong Gee, member of the Hop tiing tong, at Fourth and Davis streets. October 7. The two gunmen ambushed the elderly victim and rid dled his body with bullets. Toy was captured fleeing from the scene of the murder. Motor Vehicles to lie Barred. SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 20.

Loss of Wheat Growers' Business to Portland Draws Vitriol From Post-Intelligencer. PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle, Wash., Dec 20. (Special.) The Se attle chamber of commerce, the com missioners of the port of Seattle, Se attle bankers and business men gen erally, are sharply criticised by the Post-Intelligencer for failure to in duce the Northwest Wheat Growers' association to move its headquarters to this city instead of to Portland. "Seattle," says the newspaper edi torially, "has lost thds great enter prise that would have moved millions of dollars' worth of produce through her port annually, and that would have tied her closer and closer to her own blood brothers of eastern Wash ington a relationship that should have been more generously cultivated years ago. Seattle has lost this busi ness why?" The newspaper recalls the fact that the executive secretary and the Se attle agent of the Northwest Wheat Growers' association held a meeting In this city early last summer with chamber of commerce representatives, the port commissioners, bankers and business men, at which they urged a better co-operation of all Seattle In terests with their enterprise, and gave notice that their headquarters must soon be re-looated at a north coast seaport city. "What happened?" demands the newspaper, and it answers Its own question: "Nothing, absolutely noth ing. If any move was ever made by any Seattle group to bring this great wheat exporting business to this city, It was not of such momentum as to cause a riffle on the placid surface of Seattle's midsummer business quietude." Closing its criticism the newspaper says: "The Seattle chamber of com merce talked hh, wide and hand some. Talked, that's all. Portland got the business." Spokane Broker Pleads Not Guilty. SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 20.
