SIR AUCKLAND GEDDES GIVES
MERCHANT MARINE VERSION.
Stenographic Report of Speech
Cited to Disprove Charges
of Senator Watson.
WASHINGTON, . D. C., June .S.
Sir Auckland Geddes, the British
ambassador, feels that his recent
public reference to the American
merchant marine and other matters
referred to by Senator Watson of
Indiana In his tariff speech in the
senate yesterday was erroneously
described and has shown to Secre
tary Hughes a stenographic copy of
his address in Chicago. The state
department possibly may take some
steps in. the matter.
The-' ambassador delivered his
speech on March 12, giving some
figures to show the extent of the
trade of the United States with
Great Britain. He suggested that
the -resumption of the foreign trade
and the prosperity that comes from
it "are largely dependent upon the
capacity of the British empire to
buy your goods and to pay for them
with dollars in America."
The reference to the merchant
marine, according to the steno
graphic report, was as follows:
"Another large part of the British
purchases in this country was paid
for through credits established on
account of services rendered by the
British mercantile marine, by Brit
ish Insurance companies, by educa
tion in Britain, and in other less
important ways. There is a great
change, again as the result of the
war, taking place in connection with
the rendering of those services. You,
in your own interests, are building
up a great merchant marine. It is.
of course, your right to do so, but
let us remember that, when it comes
to the question of the balance of
t,rade between the countries, that
means tnat tnere will be diminished
credits dollar credits for the
British to purchase your goods
within this country."

CIVIL SERVICE LAUDED
Governor of California Declares
Institution Is Efficient.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 6. Civil
service has brought about more
order and efficiency in both the
state and -the national government,
Governor Stephens said tonight in
welcoming the delegates to the 15th
annual convention of the national
assembly of civil service commis
sions, t
"The rapid expansion of the merit
system is making of civil service an
important factor in progressive gov
ernment, not only throughout the
United States, but in all civilized
countries of the world," the gover
nor said. "The tendency has been
to reduce the number of elective of
fices, to abolish political patronage
in a maximum degree and to place
in the hands of department heads
subject to the authority of the gov
ernor a large body of competent
aid and employes selected for their
ability to perform the job through
the agency of civil service."
NEW YORK, June 8. Broadway,
the great white way, paused a bit
today, forgot its "small talk," and
in reminiscences of the past, paid
rare tribute to Lillian Russell, the
blonde beauty who never grew old
and w.ho died this morning at her
home in Pittsburg. k
In quiet corners of the clubs, old
timers recalled memories of the mu
sic hall on Broadway, where Lillian
Russell played in the days of Weber
and Fields. It was not the Broad
way of today, but a simpler Broad
way when Thirty-fourth street was
the center of the "white lights."
Last Appearance in April.
Lillian's last' appearance on the
Broadway of 1922 was on April 24,
when she sang at a public celebra
tion at the Palace. -

bv nearly all of them. The Lambs,

Old Doorman Pays Tribute. '
But one of the deepest tributes of
all came from an old doorman, who,
for 40 years has watched, from his
perch under the single iignt oi .Man
hattan stage doors, the comings arrd
goings of stars.
"Lillian Russell is dead, I see,"
he said. "There was a wonderful
woman. A big star, and not tempera
mental. The most beautiful woman
I ever knew and still as friendly as
anyone on earth. There was not a
theater in all the hundreds she
played where the "back stage people'
did not love her."
FUNERAL TO BE THURSDAY
Thousands of Telegrams pi Sym
pathy Sent to Family.
PITTSBURG, June 6. (By the
Associated Press.) More than 1000
teleerams of sympathy and con
dolence, attesting the admiration
and esteem of friends and acquaint
ances of Mrs. Lillian Russell Moore,
were received today at the home
here of the ex-actress. ' Among
these was one from President and
Mrs. Harding.
Arrangements for the funeral to
be held Thursday were announcea
tonight.
A body guard of United States
marines will accompany the body
from Trinity Protestant Episcopal
church to the cemetery. At the
cemetery entrance they will be met
by the 107th field artillery, the
organization which Mrs. Moore
helped to equip during the woria
war, and which will escort the pro
cession to the grave. . .
A detachment from the' American
Legion post of which the deceased
was a member, will form the firing
squad at the last resting place.
Among those who will attend the
funeral Thursday will be Secretary
of Labor Davis; Florence Reed,
representing the Actors' Equity
association; E. S. Albee and James
Murdoch, representing the National
Vaudeville association and the Keith
enterprises; R. H. Burnside, repre
senting the Producing. Managers'
association; Hiram W. Johnson, sen
ator of California, and Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Chandler Christy.
Mrs. Moore had expressed the
wish that no .flowers be sent at
the time , of her death, believing,
she said,' that people in moderate
circumstances should not feel the
necessity of contributing. Thus the
employes of the Pittsburg Post of
fice today decided to contribute one
flower each toward a bouquet to be
sent in token of their friendship.
President and Mrs. Harding's tele
gram read:
"Mrs. Harding and I are distress
ingly shocked to learn of the un
timely death of Mrs. Moore. ' We
feel the loss of a very dear friend.
Please know of our sympathy which
is emphasized by our knowledge of
your worship of Mrs. Moore."
From Secretary of Labor Davis
came this message;
"A womanly soul has passed on
and she was truly a sympathetic
soul. Will be at funeral Thursday."
From D. W. Griffitn:
"From day to day we followed
"We are terribly shocked at the J
uieauiui news. - uur nearts are witn
you in this sad time. We mourn
with you the loss of one of the

Turning Over Pnhllc Thorough
fares to Railways - Fought
and Complaints Filed.
Protest will fce made before the
city council this afternoon to the
vacation of certain streets in the
northern, section of the city for the
establishment of a railroad freight
terminal. The matter has been set
for hearing at 2 o'clock.
The protests-were filed yesterday
with the city council by a group of
east side citizens who maintained
that the east side should receive
terminal facilities and also urged
that the streets in question be de
voted to a public terminal rather
than a railway terminal in private
hands.
Problem Up for Months. .
The Question of vacating the
streets, many of which are not in
use, has been before the city coun
cil for some months. It first was
presented to - the state legislature,
where a special bill was passed giv
ing the people authority to vote the
vacation of the streets if they saw
fit.
The, matter was then submitted
to the electorate after many hear
ings before the city council and
the approval was gained in this
manner. The members of the coun
cil, eager to protect the interests of
the city, were not hasty, but sub
mitted the entire matter to City
Attorney Grant, who has gone over
the details carefully.
Terminals Declared Needed.
It has been pointed out by rail
road officials that Portland must
have additional freight terminals
and that the railroads operating into
Portland are now willing to make
the large expenditures required. At
present, freight, it is said, is tied
up in the yards for several days
before it can be unloaded, and the
business interests of the city suffer
the losses.
The men who presented the pro
test included A. H. Thompson, 149
Monroe street; Henry Izard, 1612
Dwight street; Dan Kellaher, 672
Clackamas street; Thomas A. Hayes,
925 Gantenbien avenue; Newton Mc
Coy, 654 Hancock street, and F. &
Myers, 515 Hancock street.

Fleischmann's
fresh yeast
helps digestion and
cleans a coated tongue
THOUSANDS of men and women have found relief
from various digestive disturbances by eating
Fleischmann's Yeast.
It is human nature to want to find out "why." So far
as science can tell us this is the reason:
Fleischmann's Yeast is a food abondant in certain ele
ments which are necessary to health and life itself. It
promotes the flow of bile and of pancreatic juice. It has
a remarkably beneficial effect on the whole digestive sys
tem. It cleans a coated tongue.
Try Fleischmann's fresh yeast in orange juice or, if
you prefer, in milk. Men like it in milk shakes and malted
milks. Women like it spread on bread or crackers.
Keep your digestion in the pink of condition and your
tongue clean and healthy by eating 2 or 3 cakes of Fleisch
mann's Yeast fresh every day before or between meals.
Get Fleischmann's Yeast fresh daily from your grocer.
