MEAT PACKER IS GRILLED
Traffic in Futures Helps
Farmer, Commission Told,
DELIVERIES NOT MADE
Buying and Selling Plan Is De
fended by Witnesses at In
quiry Ordered by Senate.
CHICAGO, Oct. 11. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) J. Ogden Armour,
meat packer and capitalist, declined
today for the present at least to
reveal to the federal trade commis
sion the extent of his speculations
in wheat and corn during- the period
from July 15, 1920 to May 31. 1922.
Mr. Armour will appear again Fri
day morning after conferring with
his attorneys and tell the commis
sion whether he will give it the fig
ures sought.
Admitting that he had been1 in the
market 'occasionally" as a specu
lator during the period under inves
tigation, Mr. Armour declined to
nxme his brokers or reveal the lump
sum of his long or short lines on
any given day.
"I can't answer that off-hand and
I don't know how that can interest
this commission," he replied when
Victor Murdock, vice-chairman
pressed him for the figures.
Answer Is Avoided.
"Were your operations quiet ex
tensive?" the examiners asked.
"I presume that would depend on
a man's point of view," Mr. Armour
said.
Mr. Armour defended speculation
in grain and the marketing machin
ery which makes it possible because
the farmer is afforded an opportu
nity to sell his produce on any day
of the year in an open market. The
producer does not always get the
price he is entitled to, he admitted
but on the average, he said, the
farmer does benefit by the system.
His views on the speculative mar
ket were brought out by Mr. Mur
dock who recalled his acquaintance
with P. D. Armour, founder of the
Armour fortune and father of the
present head .of the house.
Relations With Father Recalled.
"Thirty years ago," Mr. Murdock
recalled to the younger Armour, "I
was a newspaper reporter and it
was part of my duty to call on your
father every week. I got to know
him as a newspaper man will know
a man of his magnitude. He had a
marvelous knowledge of the grain
and produce markets. Since those
days you have taken his place and
are interested in the development of
this great middle-western basin. Do
you believe from your own observa
tions, that the speculative plan of
the future market gives the pro
ducer a square deal?"
Mr. Armour answered:
"On the average I think it has,
because the farmer has a place to
sell his wheat every day in the year.
He may not always get the price he
should, the price he is entitled to.
but I think it has stabilized condi
tions. Without the speculative
future market no trader would buy
wheat until he had it sold, and you
know that sometimes you have to
carry wheat a long time before you
can sell it."
"Is there any way," Mr. Murdock
said, "to alleviate the condition
known as the "May squeeze?'"
Others' Advice Taken.
"That is a very difficult thing to
obviate," Mr. Armour replied, "so
long as there are individuals in the
world who do things that some peo
ple do."
Mr. Armour said he was not famil
iar with the rules of the board of
trade, had no opinion as to the fair
ness of the "emergency car load de
livery" rule and did not know
whether on the two occasions it has
been invoked, it operated to his ad
vantage or disadvantage. The rule
permits delivery on cars when the
public warehouses are full.
Da you take the advice of others
to buy or sell in planning your
deals?" he was asked.
"Sometimes." v
"Do you follow George E. Marcy'a
(head of the Armour Grain com
pany) advice in that particular?"
"Not always."'
Effect On Price Unnoticed.
"When engaging in future trans
act io.-.s do you notice any effect
on the grain price due to the pur
chase or sales made by you?" the
examiner continued.
""No, sir; nothing noticeable."
Mr. Murdock attempted to learn
whether Mr. Armour "eases" in or
out of a market through small lot
purchases or sales, or whether he
accumulates . his long and short
line, as the case may be, in large
lots, but after considerable spar
ring the most he was able to learn
was "That depends upon circum
stances.

Secretary Mellon Says Smaller In
vestors Will Be Taken Care
or Despite Demands.
WASHINGTON", Oct. 11. The gov.
ernment's new bond issue the first
since the war has been oversub
scribed. Secretary Mellon announced
tonight.
The total subscriptions, it is un
derstood, aggregate something near
$1,000,000,00(1 on an offering limited
to about $500,000,000.
Preliminary reports received from
the federal reserve banks show, Mr.
Mellon said, that the subscriptions
for the new 44 per cent bonds of
1947-52 are well distributed over
all sections of the country.
Notwithstanding the over-subscription
of the sale, the secretary
announced, investors who subscribe
for amounts of JIO',000 or less, or
who desire to exchange their 4 94
per cent victory notes, or Decem
ber 15 certificates, for the new
bonds, still may get an allotment
in full ipon their application, if
tendered promptly to the federal
reserve banks.
"It is the treasury's intention,"
Mr. Mellon said, "to hold down al
lotments on the primary offering to
$500, 000,000, or thereabouts, and
with this in view the subscription
books for this part of the offering
will close at noon, Saturday, Oc
tober 14, 1922. Subscription books
on the exchange offering will not
close until Saturday, October 21,
1922, and 'such subscriptions will
continue to be allotted up to a lim
ited amount, thus giving investors
who desire to turn in their Victory
notes, or December 15 treasury cerT
tificates, a further opportunity to
invest in the new bonds."
Mr. Mellon expressed the opinion
that the volume of subscriptions al
ready received to the new issue

ATHENS, Oct. 11-. The Turk will
enter Europe on the heels of l.O'OO,
000 terror stricken refugees Greek
and Armenian Christians who are
fleeing westward before the cres
cent and sword of Islam.
Five hundred thousand of these
exiles already have arrived in
Greece; 500,000 more are on their
way.
From the cities of the Asia Minor
coast where the deportations and
massacres still continue, from Con
stantinople where the Europeans
live under the threat of an inva
sion, from the Thracian plain where
the word from Paris struck terror
to 250,000 Christians who know the
Turk of old, these frantic refugees
today are streaming into Greece.
People May starve.
The migration may complete the
catastrophe here. Greece itself a
tiny nation of 5,000,000 does not
have food, accommodations or em
ployment for this horde of penniless
exiles. With winter approaching,
disease is prevalent in the crowded
concentration camps and the situa
tion has passed the phase where the
government can cope with it, un
aided. The Thracian deU gates to the
Greek parliament yesterday cabled
Herbert Hoover," asking for help
from America. Americans and Eng
lish residents here have organized
temporary local relief committees.
These, however, do not reach the
bulk of the suffering peopl. Be
yond this nothing has been, done
foi the thousands who are arriv
ing daily.
The half million ;old men, women
and children deported from Smyrna
and the Asia Minor coast, who
landed on the Greek mainland and
the archipelago islands, are now
augmented by the vanguard of the
Thracians, who already are cross
ing the Maritza river and streaming
into Dod-agatch and Porto Lagos.
There are 250,000 Gre-eks in eastern
Thrace and in addition 129,000 refu
gees from - Asia Minor, who fled
there after th Smyrna fire.

The old Oregon trail, the pioneers'
highway to the coast, ' is again to
become a reality, according to plans
outlined yesterday at a meeting of
a Joint body of representatives of
various civic clubs, at the Cham
ber of Commerce. This body will
present to the legislature a request
that certain Oregon roads be named
as parts of "The Oregon Trail." A
stipulation was made by the Port
land committeemen and accepted by
the eastern Oregon delegation that
the' Columbia highway is to pre
serve its Identity under the plan.
A permanent organization, with
Henry J. Ottenheimer as president
and Frank Branch Riley as secre
tary, was effected. Committees
from the Chamber of Commerce, the
Ad club, the Realty board, directors
of the Oregon Tourist bureau and
the Pacific Northwest Tourist bu
reau are already merged in the or
ganization. Before the end of the
week it is expected that the rep
resentations of at least three other
civic bodies will be added to the or
ganization.
The Oregon Trail movement has
found staunch supporters in Mis
souri, Nebraska, Wyoming and
Idaho. The old trail traversed four
states and touched four others. It
Is the plan of the backers of the
movement to blaze anew the old
route of the pioneers, to placard it
with suitable signs and to make it
a nationally known highway lead
ing from the Missouri river on the
east to the Pacific ocean on the
west.
The Joint organization which will
boost the plan in Oregon will ask
the legislature to designate the
Oregon roads which were integral
parts of the old route, as "The Ore
gon Trail." It is proposed that mark
ers, bearing the label of an old
fashioned prairie schooner, be used
to designate the route.
Walter E. Meacham. of Baker, who
is president of the Oregon Trail as
sociation in this state, has been in
.Portland for several daysi stirring
up interest in reclaiming the his
toric old road. Before the Ad club
yesteiday he delivered a telling ad
dress on the subject. Pamphlets,
setting out the value of this trail as
a transcontinental highway and giv
ing a brief outline of the historic
importance of the road, have been
circulated freely in the city. Mrs.
Meachan also addressed the mem
bers forum of the Chamber of Com
merce, Monday, and outlined the
plans of the trails association.
If the Oregon legislature takes ac
tion on the request, this state will
not be alone in the attempts to re
claim the almost forgotten Oregon
trail. The legislature of Idaho is to
consider a similar bill at its next
session, it is claimed by Mr. Mea
cham. The Ad club delegation, appointed
by President George L. Rauch, which,
was added to the permanent organ
ization boosting the project, is com
posed of W. R. Morgan. Samuel C.
Lancaster, Frank Branch Riley,
Marshall N. Dana and Paul R. Kelty.

Mayor Baker Explains Reasons
for Postponement and Pres
ent Status of Plans.
Unanimous indorsement of the
proposal to hold a world's fair in
Portland in 1927 was voted by the
Presidents council, consisting of
the heads of leading civic clubs of
the city, at a meeting last night,
and a resolution was adopted urg
ing all member organizations of the
council to indorse the project indi
vidually. This action was taken after Mayor
Baker, director of the campaign to
obtain approval of the Portland
electorate and the voters through
out Oregon of city charter and state
constitutional amendments to en
able those who will conduct the
contemplated exposition to carry it
to successful fruition, had explained
in detail the reasons for postponing
the fair till 1927 and the present
status of the project.
"After taking a number of trips
into every section of the state and
seeing conditions with my own
eyes. I believe the legislature did
exactly right in turning down the
plau as originally put before it,"
declared the mayor.
"In many sections of Oregon the
opinion has- prevailed and not with
out reason. that Portland Is a self
seeking octopus that reaches out
with greedy tentacles and grabs
everything in sight to swell its
growing paunch. It is time, that
Portland should spend some money
to help ihe outside sections.
"We must do something in a big
way to help the farmer find a mar
ket for his products. He is over
burdened with taxation and cannot
stand the addition of a single cent
tobh already paralyzing load he
carries. We must bring more people
into the state and to do this we must
provide an incentive for visitors to
come here. Or.ce here they will see
for themselves the vast opportuni
ties offered", in wide areas of poten
tially fertile lanl now under sago-
brush.
"Our matchless scenery must be
called, forcibly to the attention of
the world and the possibilities of
irrigation, manufacturing, mining,
soil products and other outlets for
new capital must be throat into the
spotlight. ..Such a, fair as we are
now planning will result in a future
development and upbuilding of the
state the scope of whijeh few minds
can faintly vision."
The mayor went over the. argu
ments he has put forth in the past
for the holding of a fair and in par
ticular the immediate effect the pas
sage of the exposition amendments
at the coming' election will have cm
the city.
He said that upwards of $9,000,000
would be spent here in preparing
for the fair and the expenditure of
this money would start as soon as
favorable vote is recorded. He
called attention to the fact that the
city charter amendments to enable
the city to raise $3,000,000 in the
next three years by taxation are
contingent upon the raising first by
stock subscription of a fund of
$1,000,000.
"If the people of Portland and
the state indorse the fair project at
the polls next month," concluded
the mayor, "there will be no further
postponement of the date of the ex-

NEW BRUNSWICK. N. J., Oct. 11.
When the "smoke screen" of the
arrest of young Clifford Hayes,
charged wltli the murder of the
Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and
Mrs. Eleanor Mills, clears away, it
is believed that the hind of suspi
cion will be placed on the shoulder
of one in a walk of life higher than
any ever trod by Hayes or the three
others whosn arrest thus far have
been the only result of the murdef
investigation.
A story which was Investigated
tonight is to the effect that i
prominent member of Ha. Is congre
gation, who sings bass in the choir
of the Church of St. John the
Evangelist, of which Hall was pas
tor and Mrs. Mills choir member.
was at the scene of the double mur
der on the Thursday night of Its
commission. It is told that the
man, who is married, had taken a
young woman of the church for
ride; that they were interrupted
by the sounds of shots.
Part In Merdrr Swaeected.
The man was so excited over the
cccurrence that he was unable to
go to his place of business next
day. He will be asked whether he
was the person who removed from
the Phillips farm a blood-stained
basket, in which were some rags.
also stained with blood, and a copy
of a New Brunswick paper, dated
September 14, the day the murdered
pair left their respective homes.
The basket was seen about 125 feet
from where the bodies were found.
but disappeared during the excite
ment of the day the tragedy was
discovered.
Ralph V. Gorsline. a member of
Dr. Hall's church for years, has ad-
imtted that he picked up a young
woman in his automobile on the
night of 'the murder, rode around
lor a short time and took her home.
it has been established that the
young woman was Miss Katherine
RattaH, a member of the church
choir, in which Mrs. Mills sang.
Miss Rastall's mother today de
clared that her daughter was at
home at 10:30 on the night of the
murder and emphatically dented
that she had been anywhere in the
vicinity of the Phillips farm.
Gorsllae'e Auto Burned.
Gorsline's automobile was burned
beyond all hope of repair on Tren
ton road a week ago last Sunday,
the day after he had een questioned
by Prosecutor Strieker. He Is to
be questioned again tomorrow.
Although four persons are In Jail,
connected directly or Indirectly by
charges with the murder case, the
authorities of Middlesex and Somer
set counties made little or no real
progress toward solution of the
mystery today.
The Middlesex county authorities,
Including Prosecutor Strieker, ex
pressed the belief that the murder
was as far from solution as ever,
while Prosecutor Beekman of Som
erset county held stubbornly to the
belief that In Hayes and Raymond
Schneider, his accuser, held without
bail, as a material witness, he has
the two principals in the crime.
More than a hint came today that
Governor Edwards intends to take
further drastic steps In the case.
Broad Intimations were received
that the office of the attorney-gen
eral of New Jersey may be called on
to go into Somerset and Middlesex
counties and take over the Investi
gation. Girl Recalls Threat.
This from an editorial in the
Trenton Times was widely quoted
today In New Brunswick:
"Whatever the motive behind the
strange antics of the prosecuting of
ficials in the New Brunswick mur
der case tbey certainly are bringing
the good name of New Jersey Into
disrepute all over the country. It
will. Indeed, be a sorry day If the
latest arrest Is merely a political
gesture.
"But la it all politics or social In
fluence or Is it something mora
sinister?" .
Pearl Bahmer, .the 17-year-old
girl, an Intimate of Schneider, who
is in Middlesex county jail charged
with incorrigibility, said today that
her father had often threatened to
cut her throat The girl's father,
Nick Bahmer, was also In Jail, held

daughter.
