Instead of immediately referring . the report to a committee the speaker nnounced he would determine at hearing Wednesday which of three committees the merchant marine, foreign affairs or ways and means- should take charge of It. Lengthy hearings appear certain. BcnaU Refers Report. In the aenate the report, which recommends that improvement of the new Welland canal between Lake Erie tnd Lake Ontario be Included with that of the St. Lawrence river be tween Lake Ontario and Montreal, mas sent to the foreign relations committee. The commission recommended that the cost of the improvement for navi ration purposes be borne by the I'nlted States and Canada In propor tion to the benefits derived by each. It advised that during the five years following completion of the project the ratio be determined by such lac tors as the developed resources and the foreign and coastwise trade of each country within the territory economically tributary to the proposed waterway and that thereafter the ra tio be adjusted every five years on the basis of freight tonnage of each country passing through the water way. ComIm Are Apportioned. The commission also recommended that the cost of "navigation works" for the combined use of navigation and power, over and above the cost of works necessary for navigation alone, should be apportioned equally between the United States and Can a (in. The report suggested that "naviga tion works, which would not lie . wholly in one country." or would not be "capable of economic and efficient construction, maintenance and oper ation within one country as complete and Independent units,' be main tained and operated by a board on which Canada and the United States would have equal representation. The commission was of the opinion that Canada should proceed with ths Improvement of the new Welland canal "in accordance with plans already decided upon by that coun try." The commission's report emphasized the necessity of further study of the project by experts, and recommended Hint the United States and Canada enter Into treaty negotiations ovei the proposal.

When dis. covered the building was enveloped in flames and the Newport firemen oevoted their efforts to saving near by business houses and the summer residence section.

Combined efforts of the fire department and hundreds of citizens, helped by a downpour of rain, pre cented the blaze from spreading. The natatorium was owned by E. X. Baker who said that the loss Was around 130,000, partially covered by insurance. An agate shop in the build ing operated by Ruderman and sod also was destroyed with an estimated loss of $1500.

A group of business men of Port land have undertaken the task of underwriting the expense of operat ing the municipal woodyard until an ticipated revenues are collected. W. B. Ayer, chairman of the unemployment committee, personally has pledged $2500 and other members 'of the spe cial committee, which met yesterday In the office of Mayor Baker, will can vass business men for the remainder of the money necessary. Need of an active campaign for the sale of tickets to "our city's ball," to be given tomorrow night in the audi torium, for the purpose of raising funds to aid the unemployment situa tion, was emphasized by Mayor Baker and members of the committee agreed to aid in this work also. It was axpiained that the operation of the mSnicipal woodyard is giving employment to single men ana 'Hosi ers" who come to Portland. No money is paid for this labor, the workmen re ceivlng board and lodging. Work for wh ch cash Is paid is reserved lor married men. The oDeration of tha woodyard. ac cording to Mayor Baker, is reducing the petty crimes that occur during periods of depression and unemploy ment. Many men are content to re celve board and lodging in return for work until such time as general work opens up. It is this class of men tnat the woodyard is now caring for. The members of the special com mittee are Mayor Baker, W. B. Ayer, E. C. Sammons. J. B. MacNaughton and J. C. English. IS, ME ADGOX DIES BULLET WOUND, SELF - IN- FLICTED, PROVES FATAL.

Neglect of Disabled Charged in Memorial to Harding. BIG PROFITS ARE CYTED Patients Sleep on Floors Like Cat tie. It Is Said, and Many Fail to Get Treatment. WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 18. Charges that the more than 3 5 00 men tally disabled ex-service men now placed in state institutions were vie tims of such "gross neglect, indiffer ences and profiteering," as constituted a "black reproach of the honor of tha nation," were made by the disabled American veterans of the world war, in a memorial presented today to President Harding, urging Immediate action by the government looking to the treatment of all such cases in federal institutions. Neglect of these cases, in- stats in stltutions, the memorial said, is com mitting to permanent insanity many of the victims who by timely treat ment probably could be cured. Patients Sleep on Floor. Ia Charge. Describing the condition of "con tract" cases of this class in the In stltutions of the state of Ohio a.: typical of those In "practically every state," the memorial asserted the gov ernment had "farmed out the insane ex-service men of Ohio to state asylums which are notoriously over, crowded, under-manned and lnade quately equipped to treat and care for them," while It has not provided one federal institution for thi3 pur pose in the state. The Longview asylum of Hamilton county, Ohio, the memorial said, "is so overcrowded that 240 inmates sleep on the floor like cattle every night." Of the mentally disabled placed In all the institutions of the state, of whom, it was said, physicians believe half might be cured by treatment, not one, the memorial asserted, was receiving "medical treatment of any kind for the mental diseases and curable cases are being daily doomed to permanent insanity. Tuberculoma Cases Not Separated, None of the institutions, it was further asserted, segregates its tubercular patients. . An average profit of $300 on each patient out of the $547.50 annual maintenance fee paid by the govern ment was shown in figures for the nine institutions of the state cited in the memorial. In hundreds ' of cases, it was asserted, relatives are refusing to commit mentally disabled veterans, who might be restored to useful citizenship to conditions in the "contract" asylums, most of which. the memorial said, are "nothing more than lockups." Congress was urged to take early action to remedy the situation. MORE FLOOR SPACE IS Oil. TAINED IN NEW OFFICES. Facilities for Handling Cases of In jured ex-Soldiers Also Are Increased.
