CONVENTION IS STIRRED
Disabled War Heroes Also Turn
Guns Upon General Sawyer,
President's Physician.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 28. Col
onel Charles R. Forbes, director of
the Uniten States veterans' bureau,
drew both salvos of applause and
sharp cross-fires of criticism from
the Disabled American Veterans of
the World War today when he ex
plained to their convention the re
lief measures the government has
undertaken for its stricken de
fenders. Cheers greeted his announcement
that the bureau had established an
employment bureau designed to find
suitable jobs for every man given
rehabilitation and more applause
followed his assertion that he fa
vored revision of the civil service
laws so as to give ex-service men
preferred positions on " every gov
ernment list.
Training School Condemned.
Scores of veterans clamored for
the floor, howevej, to ask why em
ployment had not been found for
various individuals and why others
had had their training concluded
too soon and their training pay
stopped. The climax of hostile
criticism came with the reading of
a telegram from the student offi
cials of the training school at Camp
Sherman, Ohio, demanding that the
school be closed.
This telegram, which was read
by Robert S. Marx of Cincinnati,
national commander of the disabled
American veterans, asserted that
the president and other leading
evei'iitives of the school had left.
Colonel Forbes replied that the
school should not be hastily con
demned, said that Its work so far
was satisfactory and that its gradu
ates would be' found the best
trained of any rehabilitated vet
erans.
Employment Held Neglected.
"This is the only country that has
not had an employment service for
its veterans in operation for two
years," said Marx. "Even Germany!
and Austria are ahead of us in that
regard."
In reply to Colonel Forbes' state
ment that 85 per cent of the 35,000
men employed in the veterans' bu
reau were ex-service men, Marx as
serted that only five out of 21 ex
ecutives in the Washington head
quarters had served with the colors.
Marx also charged that the bureau
had failed to report on the complaint
of the disabled American veterans
several months ago that financial
profit was being made in hospital
care of soldiers In Ohio and that 56
per cent of the men from one in
stitution were discharged dead.
General Sawyer Criticized.
Brigadier-General Charles Sawyer,
President Harding's personal physi
cian, also came in for criticism.
Humphrey Sullivan of St. Louis, rep
resenting Hanfbrd MacNider, na
tional commander , of the American
Legion, . charged General Sawyer
with economizing at the expense of
the health and sanity of disabled
soldiers.
General Sawyer is head 'of the
federal board of hospitalization,
and, according to Sullivan, author
ized by Director of the Budget
Dawes to determine its policy. Sul
livan said General Sawyer had op
posed the establishment of hospitals
and interfered with the work of the
veterans' bureau.
The new employment unit in the
bureau, Colonel Forbes explained.
has made contract with the large
Industries of the country and is
arranging to have disabled veterans
given training and Anally absorbed
into these industries in regular po
sitions.
Seniority rights and apprentice
ship rules of labor unions have mill
tated against veterans who are be
ing given railroad training, accord'
ing to spokesmen from Montana.
Wrongs to Be Righted.
Of other complaints made from the
floor of the convention to Colonel
Forbes, the most unusual was that
from a veteran who Baid the hos
pital inmates at New Orleans were
allowed only pajamas to wear, mak
ing it impossible for the veterans
to leave the institution and visit
' their families. Colonel Forbes an
- nounced that all" complaints would
! be investigated and wrong condi
tions set aright.

COLGATE'S
Cleans Teeth the Right Way
"Washes" and Polishes
' Doesn't Scratch or Scour
YOUR hands are soiled do you clean them by scraping
them with sand alone? Savages used to. But civili
zation substituted soap. Then cleansing came more
quickly, more thoroughly without hurt. As the early savage
cleaned his hands, you today can take a gritty, soapless den
tifrice and scrape clean the delicate enamel of your teeth.
How much simpler and safer is the civilized method.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY, LUM
BERMEN ADOPT RESOLUTION.
BAKER, Or., June 28. (Special.)
Fred R. Mellis, active in business
and mining circles for the past 30
years, was found dead on the floor
in the office of the Oregon-Idaho
Investment company about 11 o'clock
this morning, the victim of apoplexy.
Life had been extinct for two hours.
Mr. Mellis was 70 years old and
unmarried.
A notable work Mr. Mellis had
accomplished for the mining indus
try of the country was the gather
ing of what was generally recog
nized as the largest and most val
uable private collection of mineral
and ore specimens in the country.
This collection had formed the
nucleus of large ore displays from
Oregon at numerous world fairs and
expositions.
Mr. Mellis was a native of Austria.
. Before he came to Baker in 1892
he was a resident of Pendleton. Two
sisters-, Mrs. Helen Wolf, of San
Francisco, and Mrs. Grossman, of
Toungstown, Q., and a brother,
Theodore, whose address is un
known, survive.

Mrs. B. B. Hinton, wife of one of
eastern Oregon's most prominent
sheepmen, committed suicide by

CANTON CITY, Or, Juno 28.
(Special.) Preliminary examination
of George Smith of Monument, Or,
charged with killing T. Arthur
Jones June 11 in a row concerning
range rights, was concluded today
before Justice KeUey of John Day,
and Smith was admitted to bonds in
the sum of $5000 awaiting action of
the grand jury. Smith was a herder
for Blakery & Clough. Jones pro
tested that the herder was using his
range. Smith asserted he was on
Blakely & Clough possessions. In
the melee Smith shot Jones twice,
killing him instantly.
Disintegration of Southern and
Central Pacific Held Against
Interest of Public.
Opposition to the supreme court's
decision which would separate the
Southern Pacific and the Central
Pacific railway systems has been
mad,e In the form of a resolution
adopted at a recent meeting by the
Willamette "Valley lumbermen's as
sociation. The text of the resolution follows:
'Resolved, that after a careful
consideration of the subject in the
opinion of the Willamette Valley
Lumbermen's association, whose,
membershin is composed of shippers
and manufacturers of lumber located
in the Willamette valley in the state
of Oregon, the disintegration of the
Southern Pacific system and tne
separation from it of the lines of the
Central Pacific railway would not be
in the public interest and such in
terest would be served best by the
continued operation Jor the future
of the Central Pacific Railway com
pany's lines as an integral part of
the Southern Pacif c system.
"Resolved further, that the Wil
lamette Valley Lumbermen's asso
ciation approves the suggested con
solidation of the Southern Pacific
and Central Pacific as outlined in
the tentative plan of the Interstate
commerce commission and respect
fully requests that when hearings
are held thereon some of such hear
lng be held at points on the Pacifio
coast.
"Resolved, further, that in view
of the uncertainty created by the de
cision of the supreme court in its
recent decision respecting the mer
ger of the Southern Pacific and Cen.
tral Pacific systems and of the very
great public importance of the sub
ject to the Pacific coast and its
producing and shipping interests
such hearings be held and the mat
ter determined at an early date.
"Resolved further, that a copy of
these resolutions be sent to the sec
retary of the Interstate commerce
commission and the secretary of the
public service commission of the
state of Oregon."
Sensible in Theory. You can't beat
common sense when backed by mod
ern science. Healthy saliva is prac
tically neutral, sometimes slightly
alkaline. Colgate's Ribbon Dental
Cream is mildly alkaline, practically
neutral, and cleanses without dis
turbing nature's" balance. Avoid
dentifrices that are strongly alkaline
or appreciably acid. Colgate's helps to
maintain the right mouth conditions.
Correct in Practice. Today scientific
dentists know that harsh drugs and
chemicals harm mouth tissues. Colgate's
Ribbon Dental Cream does not contain
them. Authorities agree that a dentifrice
should do only one thing clean teeth,
thoroughly. Colgate's does this. No false
claims are made that Colgate's possesses
any other virtue, but it does possess this
one in the highest degree, ana in a higher
degree than any other kind of dentifrice.
Colgate's deans teeth thoroughly
no dentifrice does more. A LARQE
tube casts 25 cents why pay more!

Hundreds of letters have been re

service commission during the last
few days with relation to the re
cent order unscrambling the Inter
ests of the Southern Pacific and
Central Pacific railroads.
Most of the letters received from

against the segregation of the rail

IGE NOT TO HELP
WOMAN, THOUGH BRIDE, IS
TO BE DEPORTED.
British Seaman Who Served as
Strikebreaker on Waterfront
Is to Be Sent Back.
A hasty marriage solemnized on
Monday will not save from deporta
tion Mrs. Bessie Stein-Fisher-Big-
ney, whose checsered career in j
Portland brought her to the atten
tion of the immigration officials.
Bessie, a native of Poland, was
under questioning of these officials
last week. She was then the di
vorced wife of Harry Fisher. On
Monday she was married to an
American citizen by the name of
Bigney. Under more ancient laws
this step might have saved her from
deportation, but such is no longer
the case, according to K. P. Bonham,
chief immigration inspector. The
new law provides that a woman
once liable to deportation remains so
even though she marries- an Ameri
can citizen.
The woman obtained a divorce
from Fisher in 1917, when he was on
an eastern trip, but did not tell
him and subsequently lived with
him. This fact was brought out
wh,en Fisher, an alien, was tried and
convicted some months ago for vio
lation of the narcotics act.
Frederick Jones, an Englishman,
was deported yesterday via the
steamer Eirene Ariadne. He came
to Portland as a seaman. Subse
quently he worked as a strikebreak
er during the waterfront strike.
This was in violation of federal laws
but examination showed that he was
suffering from a dangerous eye af
fection and deportation was ordered
on the ground that he was likely to
become a public charge. By per
mtiting Jones to ship back home
on. the British steamer there was a
saving of expense to both this coun
try and England and a chance for
betterment of his own financial condition.

Use the New Telephone
Directory
The June, 1922, issue of the telephone directory will be dis
tributed, beginning July 1st. -
There Will Be Many Number Changes in the New Book
The introduction of machine switching telephones in Portland
makes necessary many changes in telephone numbers. It is
important that the old directory be taken up by the distributor or
destroyed by our subscribers and only the new book be used.
Initial Zeros c
Zeros have been prefixed to all numbers that are now less
than 1000. Always give the zeros (pronounced Oh) as a part of
the number. For example: Tabor OhOh-Two-Eight.
Changes in Central Office Names
Marshall has been changed to AT water.
Woodlawn has been changed to VA lnut.
Columbia has been changed to EM pire.
The first two letters of central office names have been
capitalized and printed in BOLD TYPE. This change does not
affect the present method of calling. In giving numbers to your
operators, use the whole central office name as at present.
FOR EXAMPLE: To call BR oadway 0267, say "Broadway
Oh-two-six-seven."
These changes in directory set up will be used as a part of the
machine-switching method of operation, beginning with the fall
issue of the directory.
