SPECIAL COMMITTEE AT WORK
Attempt to Harmonize Two
Proposals Under Way.
SPECIAL COMMITTEE BUSY
Paris Delegates Insist on Full Pay
of War Debts While London Is
Willing to Cancel Them.
GENOA, April 28. (By the Associ
ated Press.) Two historic documents
dealing with the reconstruction of
Russia have been submitted by
France and Great Britain to the eco
nomic conference and tonight were in
the hands of a special drafting com
mittee appointed by the subcommit
tee on Russian affairs, which will en
deavor to harmonize the differences
in them.
The special drafting: committee will
report to the full subcommittee Sat
urday morning and the subcommittee,
after approval is given the report,
will submit it to the soviet delega
tion. The French document sketches
at length means for restoring Rus
sia's agricultural activity, while that
of Great Britain .devotes more atten
tion to credit for. Russia.
France Wants Debts Paid.
France Insists on the full payment
of Russia's war debts and the resto
ration of private property to foreign
crs: Great Britain favors a reduction
In Russia's debt and is willing to be
satisfied if Russia grants former for
eign owners the use of their prop
erty, instead of a return of actual
ownership.
The adoption of the 12 articles In
the agreement with Russia, which
regulate the disposal of the Russ'an
debt, is favored by France. She de
mands that the soviet conclude before
December 31 an agreement with rep
resentatives of owners of Russian
state bonds in order to provide for
the payment of interest.
Arbitration Is Proposed.
If an agreement is impossible, ac
cording to the French contention, the
soviet must promise to accept the de
clsion of a mixed arbitration com
mission, the president of which will
be appointed by the chief justice of
the supreme court of the United
States or by the league of nations or
by the president of the eourt of in
ternational justice.
The French draft demands, In case
private property cannot be restored,
that Russia shall pay indemnities.
These indemnities would be provided
for by an issue of new Russian five
per cent bonds. The mixed arbitra
tion tribunal of three members one
member for Russia, one for an inter
ested government, and the third, who
would be president, to be designated
by the chief justice of the supreme
court of the United States would de
cide disputed points.
Duel of Words Brought Forth.
Today's discussion of the two
drafts brought forth a duel of words
between Premier Lloyd George of
Great Britain and Louis Barthou,
chief of the French delegation, who
the auditors described as both witty
and satirical. Slgnor Schanzer, Italy,
as usual, took a leading role in the
discussion, urging conciliation be
tween the French and British atti
tudes. In this stand he was supported
by Dr. Motta, Switzerland, and M.
Skirmunt. Poland.
Mr. Lloyd George characterized the
French project as elegant in form,
but defective in important features.
He objected to France's picture of
Russian disorganization, saying It
would displease the Russian delega
tion. Moreover, h'e added, France's
draft spoke over much of agriculture
and commerce while it was superfi
cial on the momentous question of
credits.
Frank Statements Requested.
E.very country, Mr. Lloyd George
Insisted, should say frankly what it
was disposed to do for Russia. He
urged the formation of a consortium
with prec'se offers from each nation,
specifically saying what It was ready
to do, not necessarily in actual mon
ey, but in general guarantees and re
garding a resumption of commerce
with Russia.
M... Barthou did not share the Brit
ish premier's viewpoint and described
the British draft as "too religiously
moral."
The understanding tonight was
that M. Barthou would proceed to
Paris some time tomorrow to discuss
the general situation with Premier
Poincare. There were unverified ru
mors this afternoon that he would
not return to Genoa. .
According to information from
French sources, the British draft pro
posals susrgest that Great Britain has
a fund of tJ5.00.000 available for de
velopment in Russia which would be
placed at the disposal of Englishmen
Interested in that country. It also is
asserted that Belgium and Japan pos
sess large amounts of capital for
economic development In Russia, that
other countries could send technical
experts to Russia and that Italy could
aid Russia through her co-operative
agricultural organizations.
Joint Warning by Foreign Lega
tions, Issued on Previous Day,'
Apparently Is Ignored.
PEKLV. April 29. (By th Associ
ated Press.) Fighting began this
morning at dawn at Chang Sin Tien,
12 miles southwest of Pekira.
Heavy artillery firing is audible in
Pekin.
PEKIN, April 2S. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The foreign legations
today sent the Chinese government
a joint warning against possible
fighting in Pekin between the troops
of General Chang Tso Lin, governor-general
of Manchuria, and Gen
eral Wu JPa -I . u, commander of the
forces "In central China.'
The warning said the powers rec
ognized the gravity of the military
movements in the vicinity of Pekin.
It called attention to the severe con
sequences that might develop should
any damage occur from the dropping
of bombs by airplanes to the nation
als of their governments. The Chi
nese government was reminded of
penalties that had been imposed upon
it in the past.
The diplomatic body, with the min
isters of all countries present, took
their action In view of the threaten
ing outbreak of hostilities between
the Chang Tso Lin and Wu Pel Fu
troops near Pekin. Chang Tso Lin
is expected to arrive shortly at lien
Tsin to direct the movements of his
forces. Wu Pel Fu was reported to
have reached Pao Ting Fu, 90 miles
southwest of Pekin.
Both armies are equipped with air
planes and artillery.
Their fronts are 30 miles apart.
The military commanders at the
American, British, French and Jap
anese legations have adopted meas
ures for the protection of the Pekin
Tien Tsin railroad, which the diplo
matic officials have approved and
sent to the Chinese foreign office.
Foreigners in Pekin do not appear
to be apprehensive in view of the al
lied precautions.

School for Women.
PHILADELPHIA, April 28. Protest
against the inclusion of girl students
within the college walls so that to
the casual observer the university has

ity and dcnegrated into a hybrid or
ganization of co-education," was con
tained in a report of the directors of
the alumni to the trustees of the
University of Pennsylvania, made
public today. The report suggested
that funds of the $1, 000,000 Bennett
foundation be used to create a sep

oppose the proposition that the" uni
versity is for the masses."

Baker Address Commerce Body
At Its Annual Meeting.
Radio dances, a promise at the dawn
of the radio era, came Into being In
Portland last night during the con
cert by George Olsen's Hotel Port
land orchestra, which was a part of
the programme sent broadcast from
The Oregonian tower between 8 and
9 o'clock. Many couples who attended
the radio cance of the Oregon national
guard at the armory tripped to the
music of the orchestra In The Orego-
nian tower, and gatherings in several
homes over the x;ity reported after
wards that they had danced to the
orchestra music. All of the persons
reporting said that success had at
tended the experiments and that eimi
iar dances would be held next Friday
night.
Besides the dancers, many others in
Fortland and in surrounding com
munities heard the orchestra music,
which is a regular part of the weekly
programme. A new feature was in
troduced when Mias Nina Dressel
well-known Portland soprano, sang
two selections with orchestra accom
paniment. Miss Eressel, who Is an
excellent singer, has sung in the past
with the Olsen orchestra and she was
heard by radio clearly and distinctly
above the music.
The musical programme, which was
abbreviated on account of lack of time,
consisted of eight numbers. The two
solos were "One Kiss" and "Just
Little Love Song." The other num
bers on the programme were "Sing
Song Man." "Cutie," "Radio Biues,'
'Liebestraum," "I Want to Write a
Melody" and "Bygones." :
I Want to Write a Melody" was
an unpuplisnea production py me
Fanchon-Marco company of San
Francisco, and was. sent to Mr. Olsen
with the special request that it be
tried out by radio for the first time.
The composers were listening at the
Little club In San Francisco.
The concert was one of three parts
of The Oregonian programme. The
firs', part was a children's story told
by Jessie Hodges Millard, head of the
children's department of the central
library, and the story was "Robin
Hood" and the shooting match on
Nottingham green. Children's stories
are now sent broadcast by The Ore
gonian every Monday and Friday
nights. - ..
' As a feature of the annual meet
ing of the chamber of commerce and
also of The Oregonian programme, H.
B. Van Duzer, president of the body,
delivered his annual report to the
members by radio. A special receiv
ing set had been installed by J. B.
Weed, local manager of the Shipown
ers' Radio service and operator of
The Oregonian set, and the members
of the chamber were assembled in the
green room at 8:45 o'clock to hear
the report. . and a short address by
Mayor Baker. President Van Duzer's
report is printed in part in another
column. Mayor Baker said In part:
"From the standpoint of develop

ALL THAT GOOD LUMBER WILL
Police Judge Puts Case Over to Let
Congregation Raise Cash for
Delinquent Brother.
In an effort to keep Jack Johnson,
confessed negro forger, out of the
penitentiary, one of the negro dea
cons of the African church, where
Jack worships at odd times, yester
day offered to give George Mowry,
deputy district attorney at police
headquarters, a first mortgage on the
negro church In order to square
Brother Johnson with the law and
an outraged victim.
Jack Johnson, who In stature Is a
counterpart of the one-time heavy
weight fight champion, passed a
forged check when he needed a stake
for a session of African golf, where
"sevens" and "elevens'" come as
manna from heaven.
The check, made out for $35, was
passed on J. L. Miller, north end
merchant. Tom Swennes, police de
tective, completed the transaction by
arresting the negro for forgery.
"But aside from his, gambling In
clinations, Johnson Is a good church
member. In fact, he is one of the
staunch pillars of the negro church
In his neighborhood.
"Ah haven't the money to pay back
this J35 foh Mistah J-Chnson, but ah
stand ready to give yoh a mo'tgage
on the church if the prosecuting wit
ness will dismiss the charge," volun
teered the deacon. !
The hearing was scheduled In po
lice court . yesterday, but Judge
Ekwall delayed It for a few days to
see if Johnson and his church brothers
could come to an understanding with
the district attorney and the bad
check victim.

12 JUDGES IN CONFERENCE
Other Outrages, Kept Secret Until
Now, Also Are to Be Before)
Jurors Statement Secret.
LOS ANGELES, April 28. A grand
jury will be impanelled tomorrow
morning by the Los Angeles county
superior court to investigate activ
ities of the Klu Klux Klan.
This was announced by Presiding
Judge Willis, following a meeting
late today of the 12 of the 23 super
ior judges. "The present emergency"
caused by alleged Ku Klux Klan ac
tivities, Judge Willis said, was the
j sole reason for calling the jury to
gether.
The order for the impanelment was
signed by the 12 judges who, Judge
Willis said, were the only ones In the
courthouse when it was decided tj
call a meeting relative to the klan.
Action Urged Several Day.
District Attorney Woolwlne had
been urging this action for several
days, but Judge Houser of the crimi
nal department of the court, to whom
had been delegated the matter of de
ciding whether to call a jury, has been
111 for some time. His colleagues
delayed their action In the hope he
would be able to take up the matter.
The impanelment will take place in
Judge Houser's department, but Judge
Willis said it was doubtful if Judga
Houser would be able to officiate
The order provides that the JuTy con
vene at the earliest possible date fol
lowing the impanelment.
District Attorney Woolwlne and
his assistants, who -are working on
the case, today divided their time be
tween questioning persons who came
to their office on more or less mys
terious messages, and conferences
with the superior court judges.
Other Outrages Investigated.
The raid at Inglewood last Satur
day night. In which Constable M. B,
Mosher was fatally wounded while
acting as a member of the raiding
party, has been definitely connected
with the klansmen, according to the
investigators, and It developed today
that this was not the only mob out
rage in the county under Investiga
tion. The district attorney's office au
thorized the announcement that a
"well-known and reputable citizen"
of a community near this city had in
formed the officers he was taken
from his home at night by a band
of masked men, horsewhipped and
otherwise maltreated. This occurred
some time before the Inglewood raid
and the man appeared to have been
afraid to inform any regularly con
stituted authority of the attack.
The district attorney's men made it
plain they would welcome any simi
lar revelations and would guarantee
full protection to anyone making
them.
Statement to Be Published.
Another Incident of the day was
the closeting with the district attor
ney of W. S. Coburn, grand goblin of
the Klu Klux Klan for its "western
domain," and N. A. Baker, "kleagle,"
or organizer for the klan in Los An-
geles. Baker made a statement to the
investigators yesterday ln which he
admitted, they said, that he took part
:n the Inglewood raid. Baker's attor
ney said this statement would be re
duced to writing and given to news
papers by the district attorney.
Mr. Woolwine, after receiving the
written siatement declined to make
it public. When Coburn and Baker ar
rived today the former declared that
If the dUtrlct attorney did not pub
lish the document. Baker would pub
lish it himself. After the interview
with the district attorney the klan
leaders refused to ' say anything
further about the statement.
Documents Are Inspected,
District Attorney Gearhart of Fresno
county joined in the inspection of
documents seized by the district at
torney at the Klu Klux Klan head
quarters here. He said he found some
"valuable material." Including names
of officers and others connected with
a clan formed at Fresno about a
year ago. .
While no mob outrages have oc
curred in his county, so far as he
knows, Mr. Gearhart said his discov
eries here would be useful in "pre
venting mischief."
He described the Fresno klansmen
as a "dangerous element because
composed" of irresponsible persons."
"There are one or two professional
men ln the list, Gearhart added, "but
they are not what we would call our
leading citizens.
I think there are j
no officials with the exception
three or four police officers.

Placing 'of Guards Near Business
Houses, However, Is Banned.
Supreme Bench Decides.
BOISE, Idaho,. April 28. (Special.)
Picketing by striking union em
ployes Is unlawful, the supreme court
of Idaho today decided in an opinion
on the jnjunction case of Boise restau
rant men against Hotel and Restau
rant Employes local No. 782.
The order of Judge Reddoch of the
Ada county district court, enjoining
the union forces from continuing their
picketing operations in May, 1020, was
modified by today's decision. The
higher court holds that strikers may
inform the public of the existence and
causes cf a lawful strike and appeal
by peaceful persuasion for publlo sup
port. In this case It was found un
necessary to enjoin against violence.
But the decision essentially bars the
placing of pickets in front of or near
the places of business of the employ
era, as this "necessarily results ln In
timidation and coercion."
The decision makes Idaho legal his
tory, for this la the first case of pick
eting which has ever been before the
supreme court. The opinion was pi
pared by Chief Justice Rice and was
unanimously concurred in by the en
tire court.
The means employed ln aid of law
ful strikes must be free from false
hood, libel or defamation, and from
physical violence, coercion or moral
intimidation, the court held.
