Post, Inc. Published by arrangement.)
WASHINGTON, D. C. June 12.
(Special.) The republicans man
aged to squeeze through a delicate
situation in Ohio and avoided an
other senatorial primary contest
like those in Indiana and Iowa be
tween an orthodox republican and
a Roosevelt one or a radical one.
June 9 was the last day for candi
dates to file, and a good many
prominent re-publicans, both in Ohio
and in Washington, sat up until
midnight to learn whether Walter
K. Brown of Toledo did or did not
intend to throw his hat in the ring.
Brown is the old Roosevelt leader
In Ohio, and when the results in
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Iowa be
came known he began to act, or at
least the acutely apprehensive old
guard leaders thought he seemed to
be acting, in a way to cause a good
deal of suspense. What arts of dis
suasion may have been used upon
him, or whatever other motives may
have led him, he' kept out of the
primary and left the field clear to
Representative Simeon D. Fess. It
is true there are other entrants,
among them ex-Senator Dick, but
Dick will not cut much figure.
Neither will the third entrant. After
the primary on August 8 Mr. Fess will
be the republican nominee with even
greater certainty that thedemo
cratlc nominee will be the sitting
senator, Atlee Pomerene.
Pomerene Follows Dictates.
When the later campaign comts
on between these democratic and
republican nominees, a good deal of
the fight will hinge upon the dif
ference in the records of Pomerene
and Fess on the questions of prohi
bition and woman suffrage.
Fess has been clearly on the af
firmative side of these issues. To
say that Pomerene has been on the
negative side would be technically
correct, but would not be wholly
fair. Pomerene, in bis senatorship.
has had a consistent theory. He
has always said that he represented
his state, and that on each question
as it came up he should vote, not
according to his personal convic
tions, but according to the wishes
of his state.
When the question of prohibition
'came up it Just happened that there
had recently been a local election in
Ohio on this question. The local
election had gone against prohibi
tion and Pomerene felt that he was
bound by it.
Woman Suffrage la Same.
The same thing happened as to
woman suffrage. A fairer issue on
which the contest between Pomer
ene and Fess should be fought
would be the Adamson act, affect
Ins ra'lrod labor. In any event,
this OJiIo senatorship contest will
be a good fight on legitimate public
issues, and it will undoubtedly be
one of the centers of interest as the
national campaign approaches.
Fess is of the type of the scholar
and churchman in politics. He
used to be superintendent of his
local Methodist Sunday school, and
Sam Blythe once spoke of him as
"the man who put the 'Fess' in 'pro
fessor.' "
Career Noteworthy One.
Before he came to congress ten
years ago he was president of An
tioch college, and before that he had
spent his life as a teacher of Amer
ican history and similar subjects in
various Ohio institutions, and for a
brief time at the University of Chi
cago. He was also, at one time, the
editor of & periodical called World
Events and has written some
worthy books, among them "Ameri
can Political Theory- and an "Out
line of United States History."
In congress he has been an ortho
dox republican. His nomination on
the senatorship. which he is sure to
get, is a deserved reward of his
record in congress. Fess illustrates
the rule that it'is easy rather than
difficult for a man to' impress him
self on his fellow members.
The chief quality that is needed
Is mere thoroughness and the will
to work. Many of his speeches
ave shown that completeness of
preparation which always causes
the other members of the house to
come back from the cloakrooms and
listen to a man who knows his sub
ject. Alleged Annoyer Is Arraigned.
SALEM. Or., June 12. (Special.)
C. L. Weber, arrested here yes
terday on a statutory charge, waived
a hearing when he was arraigned
before Judge Unruh in the justice
court this morning and was bound
over to the Marion county grand
Jury. Weber was. taken into cus
tody after he had been accused of
annoying several little girls.
First Real Test of Leadership of
NeV Head of Pictures Is
Given at Meeting.
NEW YORK, June 12. Moving
picture reforms of a sweeping na
ture, both as regards the morality
of the screen and : the economic
structure of the motion picture busi
ness, were predicted as a result of
a conference held behind closed
doors today between representatives
of the producing field, headed by
Will H. Hays, and the exhibitors
headed by Sydney S. Cohen.
The conference represented the
first real test of the leadership of
the ex-cabinet member in his new
position, according to motion pic
ture men. Relations between pro
ducers and exhibitors have been
discordant, and Mr. Hays hopes to
bring about greater harmony in all
branches of the business.
Theater owners sought today to
obtain reductions in film rentals,
saying that they have felt the gen
eral business slump and asking that
the producers help them meet it by
cutting rentals. The proposed cut,
discussion of a more equitable con
tract between producers and exhib
itors, and the beginning of Mr. Hays'
campaign for "cleaner movies," com
prised the chief business of the day.
A statement of the new programme
of the movie industry is expected
by Friday.

MILL' WAGES ADVANCED
5500 Men Are to Get Increases of
5 Cents an Hour,
SPOKANE, Wash., June 12. An
advance of five cents an hour, the
firsf wage increase for more than
t,wo years, was voted by the direc
tors of the Loyal Legion o Loggers
and Lumbermen for districts nine
and ten,-comprising eastern Wash
ington and Northern Idaho, at a
meeting here today. The increase,
which affects mill employes only,
will fix the minimum wage for com
mon labor at $3.40 a day instead of

resented, it was said, produce .70
per cent of the lumber manufac
tured in the district.
The Increase becomes effective

has been no threatened impairment
of the voice of McCormack,' but the
strain of ten long consecutive con

a nervous state that a good rest
is imperative.

Federation Opens 42d
Annual Convention.:
BIG ARMORY IS FILLED
Fight -for Constitutional
Rights" 'Proclaimed.
MR. GOMPERS CHEERED
Equal Footing With Employers
Is Declared . Necessary fop
Genuine Conference.
CINCINNATI, Juno "12. By the
Associated Press.) Facing a fight
that the leaders of organized labor
regard as one for the very existence
of unionism, the American Federa
tion of Labor here today, opened, its
42d annual convention, which was
marked by the presentation of many
issues to be considered during the
next two weeks and a speech by
President Samuel Gompetrs declar
ing that "we do not fool ourselves
into any fancied security." The is
sues were brought before the dele
gates by the report of the federa
tion's executive council.
"We are not In a mood," said Mr.
Gompers, "to have those rights and
privileges guaranteed to us by our
constitution taken from us by any
subtle reasoning or assumption of
power, no matter whence it ema
nates." .
Declaration Wins Applause.
This declaration of the veteran la
bor leader was greeted with ap
plause, as was also his statement
that organized labor would "go on
ward and forward more determined
than ever that there shall not be lm
p6sed upon our brows, upon our
backs, the type of the 'man with the
hoe" , -
The speech by Mr. Gompers came
after . a programme of welcoming
addresses by Mayor George P. Car
roll, Secretary T. J.'Donnelly of the
Ohio Federation of Labor and othw
era. The big armory of the Ohio
national guard, which is the seat for
the convention, was filled with dele
gates and spectators, while above
their heads' were hung a thousand
American flags, forming the hall
decorations, .-',
Equal Footing Advocated.
In his brief speech Mr. Gompers
declared that organized labor only
asked employers to' meet with the
union leaders in conferences for the
settlement of disputes, but he said
that a genuine conference was im
possible unless both sides stand on
equal footing. The "open shop," he
added, is not the result of confer
ences. '
Mr. Gompers concluded with a ref
erence to the disarmament confer
ence, asserting it made a beginning

Experiments in Arrangement of
Series of Transmitters Im
proves Broadcasting. .
With The Oregoflian radio set
back in its former good trim after
a spell of temperamental and doubt
ful performance for the past . week,
the Calbreath bel canto chorus gave
a concert in the tower last night
that was broadcast to the Pacific
northwest and won appreciation
and applause from hundreds of en
thusiastic listeners.
Experiments in arrangement of
the series of transmitters used in
broadcasting, conducted t yesterday
afternoon by J. B. Weedi operator,
and local manager of the Shipown
ers' Radio ,service, were responsible
for the success of the programme.
The Calbreath bel canto chorus,
consisting of nine women, proved to
the large radio audience that it is
one of the finest musical groups of
Its. kind, through the quality of the
music it provided in the concert.
Solo, duet and chorus numbers were
received with the same splendid en
thusiasm, and during the entire pro
gramme the telephone in. the tower
room was kept constantly busy with
calls of congratulation to individual
singers and to the choru3.
All of the soloists excepting Mary
Evelene Calbreath, pianist, who
played her composition, . "Russian
Caprice," by request, were , ama
teurs, whih made the excellence of
their performance even more re
markable. The first solo number was sung
by Ruth Zanders, soprano, who sang
"Thy Beaming Eyes" in excellent
voice, and then with a chorus num
ber in between , Elizabeth Bruere,
soprano, sang."Folk Song" in a way
that elicited applause by telephone
from a dozen different stations.
"Compensation," a selection com
posed by Mary Evelene Calbreath,
was sung by Florence Johnson, con
tralto, and it and Hazel Bradbury's
singling of "Garden of Happiness"
were outstanding features of the
concert. - Another fine solo number
was sung by Lois Thayer, whose se
lection was "I Hear a Thrush at
Eve." ' . .
Besides the women who took part
in the concert there were two 'bari
tones. Bernard Winneman, who
sang "On the Road to ManSalay,"
and Melvin Niemeycr; who -thai
"Melisande;in..the Wc&j.' -.. ; .
The concert was directed by Helen
Calbreath and all the accompani
ments, solo, and chorus numbers,
were -played by Mary Evelene Cal
breath. The chorus numbers sung
were "Roses of Picardy," J'Amaryl
lis," "Sweet Miss Mary," "Carry Me
Back to Old Virginny," and "Bacar
olle." A duet number sung by Eliza
beth Bruere and Florence Johnson
was "Oh That We Two Were May

Wind So Strong That Plane Goes
Backward 20 Miles Hour While
Engines Drive 100.
DAYTON, O., June 12. Captain
A. W. Stevens, aerial photographer,
McCook field, established : a new
parachute Jumping record : today
when he descended 24,206 feet to
safety, officials" of the field an
nounced tonight. - ( "V
- Another record was broken at the
same time when Lieutenant Leigh
Wade piloted a twin-motored Mar
tin , bomber, carrying three pas
sengers, to n altitude, of 24,206 feet,
it was announced.
Captain Stevens ascended in the
same plane with Lieutenant Wade. .
The pilot, accompanied by Stevens
and . Sergeant Roy Langham, ob
server, took off at 11 A. . M.' and
reached ; the maximum altitude at
1:05 P. M., requiring two hours and
five minutes to make the climb.
Stevens, who has made aerial
photographs here for several years,
today made his first flight where
oxygen was necessary. Reaching
the maximum height the party par
took of refreshments and Stevens
made ready for his leap.
When he left the plane he did
not permit his chute to be opened
by the wind and then lift him off,
but leaped over the side and
dropped several thousand feet be
fore it opened and checked . his
drop. '
The oxygen tank which he had
sewn to his - flying suit was torn
off in the leap and lost.
Thirty minutes were required for
the descent. He left the plane
while over Springfield and landed
at Jamestown, a small village 25
miles southeast of here.
Flying conditions ere ideal to
day. The temperature on - the
ground was 75 degrees and zero was
reached at a maximum altitude.' So
stronjg was the wind at 24,206 feet
that the motors, which were trav
eling about 100 miles ad hour, only
served to keep the slfip upright and
the wind forced it backwards at a
speed o( about 20 miles an hour,
Wade said, upon descent.

PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash?, 'June 12. Colonel George B.
Lamping's call for an anti-Polndex-ter
jconfer'ence ' in Chehalis last Sat
urday met wit1! no response. Un
doubtedly many of those who at
tended the republican state conven
tion are either opposed o Senator
Poindexter or so indifferent toward
him that they might easily b in
duced to support someone else. But
the ex-progressive leaders and
others to whom Colonel Lamping's
call was particularly addressed did
not show up. There was no confer
ence. The questions that Colonel
Lamping hoped to have settled at
Chehalis are still up in the air.
No one knows what W. H. Pa,ul
hamus of Sumner Is going to do;
and since Colonel Lamping has ten
dered his support and the support
of his following to Mr. Paulhamus,
some sort of an answer must come
out from Sumner before Colonel
Lamping can decide whether or not
to announce his own candidacy for
the republican senatorial nomina
tion. '
Mr. Savidge Urged to Run.
Drifting down to Chehalis from
Olympla came the report tha Clark
V. Sayidge, state.land commissioner,
was being strongly urged to run for
the senate. It isn't necessary . to
seek Mr. Savidge's confirmation of
this" report to say that it is prob
ably true. He has friends in all
parts of the state who never let any
kind of a campaign go by without
urging him to become a. candidate
lor some office higher than that
which he holds. Among a large
number of Washington republicans
who thought about-running for gov
ernor In 1920 and didn't Mr. Sav
idge was easily the leader in popu
larity. None save his most intimate
friends know-how near he came to
filing for the nomination. Had he
done so the republican primary race
would have been between Mr. Sav
Idge and Colonel Roland Hartley of
iNerett.
Jut in I960 Mr. Savidge finally
decided to sit tight as a candidate
for re-election as land commis
sioner. Apparently he .can con
tinue in that office as long as he
i Ishes. It does him no harm to be
talked to and talked about as a sen
atorial possibility; but the chances
are that he will stick to hl lnnvi.
office job and leave the scramble j

Senate Candidates Absent.
Not only were the anti-Polndexter
forces either absent from or incon-
spicuous at tne toenails convention,
but none ot the declared candidates
for the senatorial nomination was
on hnd. Judge Austin E. Griffiths
of course, is holding down his place
on the superior court bench of King
county, and has stated that he does
not intend to start his senatorial
campaign until the court vacation
begins July 1. Someone acting In
his interest distributed cards among
the Chehalis delegates announcing
Judge Griffiths' candidacy and giv
ing a brief resume of his political
and public activities.
Neither George H. Stevenson nor
John E. Ballaine put In an appear
ance. Mrs. Frances C. Axtell of Bel
lingham and W. H. Paulhamus of
Sumner were also among the miss
ing. Hugh M. Caldwell, ex-mayor
of Seattle, was busy starting from
Seattle for San Francisco as illustri
ous potentate of Nile temple of the
Mystic Shrine. Others whose names
have been used in the quest for a
candidate against Senator Poindex
te were absent. Only Major Mal
colm Douglas, who insisted on being
publicly trimmed in. the contest for
temporary chairman, and Colonel
Lamping,' whose anti-Poindexter
conference' failed to . materialize,
were, present out of the long list of
those who have been discussed in
this connection. . ,

On the other hand, every federal
office-holder in the state who owes
his appointment to the indorsement
of Senators Poindexter and Jones
was on hand and as busy as the oc
casion seemed to require. The sin
gle exception was Millard T. Hart
son, collector of customs. And the
state administration was also fully
represented. Governor Hart was not
there, arid a few other elective state
officials didn't find time to take in

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 12.
Fathers of Vassar seniors per
mitted themselves a self-congratulatory
smile today at class festiv
ities. Undaunt?d by the presence of
three sponsors on the baseball nine
of the Vassar senior class, fathers
defeated daughters by the score of

After fanning consistently and
courteously in the first Inning the
"dads" later pounded gleefully the
offerings of Miss Edith Fitch, Vas
sar's pitching ace, scoring six runs
in the, third inning and five in the
fourth. .
Elmer Steele, umpire, a former
pitcher of the Pittsburg' Nationals,
who holds a record of a no-hit, no
run game, supplied the feature of
the contest. Card of Highland Park,

out a sizzling line drive at Vassar" s
pitcher. It was too hot for Miss
Fitch to handle and the umpire
obligingly grabbed the ball, threw
it to first and graciously called the

tumes and ritual, but a western de
sire to relax and be merry and to
make-others cheerful at the same
time was the impelling motive for
the members of this order and today
this spirit found expression in both
music and noise and in the laying
of .a cornerstone of a hospital for
crippled children. ,
This hospital,! one f six under
construction by the Shrine,' is lo
cated on the westward slope of sand
hills that run to the Pacific ocean.
Ernest Allen Cutts of Savannah, Ga.,
imperial potentate of the Shrine, set
the cornerstone in place with a gold
and silver trowel, while Governor
Stephens and Mayor Rolph of San
Francisco expressed their gratitude
to the organization for its work in
finding happiness for themselves
through the hapinness of others.
The hospital, which will accommo
date 50 beds, -is to cost approxi
mately ?300,000. The hospital move
ment is the outcome of efforts by W.
Freeland Kendrick of Philadelphia,
when imperial potentate, to crystal
lize the serious tone of thought pro
duced by the world war into deeds
of cBarrty. An annual tax of ?2 a
member, providing a fund of $1,000,

convention in 1920.

Special trains, special cars, auto
mobile caravans and steamships all

to the music of arriving bands as
they marched to their headquarters
and by midnight the last of the
pilgrims had ended their journey
over the figurative "hot sands."
Processions, concerts, receptions,
teas, dinners, automobile trips,
yacht races, automobile races, avi
ation contests, swimming maches,
military drills, sight-seeing trips,
plays, minstrel shos, golf, tennis,
trap shooting and, for the women,
shopping tours, are among the
ways in which the Shrine organ
ization will live up to its gen
erally accepted-title as the play
ground of Masonry.
Membership In the 32d degree of
the Scottish Rite bodies or in the
order of Knights Templar is the
necessary preliminary to admission
to the shrine. Although a Masonic
organization, all San Francisco
turned to in providing a welcome
and nearly every fraternal organ
ization had Its reception commit
tee to help in providing a merry
week for the visitors. Of these,
the Knights of Columbus used full
page newspaper advertisements to
express Its welcome and its' invi

- Al Hader Temple Arrives.
Al Kader temple, from the caliph
ate of Portland, Or., arrived in Mecca
and reported at the ehrine that the
pilgrimage was a pleasant one. El
Katif, from Spokane, came in about
the same direction as Al Kader and.
after parking its camels outside the
meat, made a long, low salaam to
