IP SUBSIDY BILL
raioni
Friends and Foes Almost
Evenly Divided.
FILIBUSTER IS POSSIBLE
Two Democratic Senators Arc Ex
' pectcd to Vote for Measure;
' Fight Is Assured.
"; BT MARK SULLIVAN.
'Cfvpvriglit by New York Evening Post,
Inc. Published by Arrangement. )
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 12.
(Special.) Whether the ship sub
sidy bill becomes a law is as in
teresting a speculation about future
legislation as "Washington has seen
In many a day. The bill is now in
the senate. Two democratic sena
tors will vote for it- They are the
two from Louisiana, who vote with
he republicans on the tariff and
en so many other matters that they
sometimes seem as near republican
as democratic.
It is occasionally claimed that
-one other democratic senator will
vole with the republicans in favor
of the bill, but this is doubtful.
Ono of the democrats who were
counted on is Fletcher of Florida,
but in point of fact it was Fletcher
who wrote a minority report from
the committee against the bill. It
ts also claimed occasionally that
Underwood "will support the bill,
tut it is most doubtful whether this
can bo expected from a man so
completely identified with demo
cratic leadership as Underwood is.
: Assuming that two, and only two,
democratic senators join the repub
licans in favor of the bill, it will
be necessary, in order to defeat It,
fpr the insurgent .republicans who
are leading the opposition to get
together at least 14 republicans in
opposition. The best judgment is
that they cannot get more than 12.
If this calculation is correct the
Irill should pass in the senate by a
majority of about two.
Filibuster Also Possible.
But there are several other hur
dles. For one, the insurgent repub
licans may not confine their tac
tics merely to voting against the
bill. They may adopt filibustering
methods. If a considerable number
u them should filibuster they could
prevent the bill passing. There are
only two or three who are willing to
adopt filibustering tactics. It may
turn out that La Follette and one
oilier will be the only ones to fili
buster. That would hardly be
enough, although as a nlibusterer
La Follette is a whijle bloc in him
self. ; Even without deliberate filibuster
ing, it is possible for the vote on
the bill to be so long delayed as to
fail to come up at the present ses
sion. This eventuality, however,
seems less likely now than it did, a
little while ago. For one thing, the
republican friends of the bill have
yot it on the floor and to the front
and they mean to keep it there until
it comes to a vote. For the second
tiling, the lower house is making
unexpected and wholesome speed
with the 12 appropriation bills
which, with the ship subsidy bill,
constitute the bulk of the legislative
programme.
1 It now seems possible for all the
appropriation bills to be through the
house and ready for the senate by
the latter part of January. If this
should come about, there would seem
to be no reason, why the ship sub
sidy bill should not come to a roll
call. ' Bill Malerially Changed.
But even if the bill in its present
form should pass the senate, there
is yet another hurdle. The bill, as
it passed the house, was materially
different from the bill as it now
stands in the senate. In the house
a provision was attached requiring
that the annual subsidies be appro
priated each year by congress. This
was acutely unsatisfactory to Presi
dent Harding and the friends of the
bill, because no business man would
want to make plans based on a sub
sidy which might be cut off in any
year by a temporarily hostile con
gress. In the senate the bill has been
Testored to its original form. The
result is that even if. and when, the
senate passes the bill, there must
be a conference between the house
and the senate to adjust the differ
ences. In that conference, it is
mated with much confidence by the
opponents of the bill, the house will
stand firm.
"When the bill passed the house it
had- a majority of only 24. It is
said that on a conference report
this majority might readily dwindle
to less than nothing if the senate
Btiould insist on a form of the bill
which dismisses the provision for
an annual voting of the subsidy.
All in all, there was hardly ever a
piece of legislation so nicely bal
iced between success and failure.
Of course, if the bill should fail at
this session It could not pass at all
thereafter in the new and quite
differently constituted congress. -
FARM RATE CUT URGED
Conditions in Grain-Producing
Areas Declared Bad.
WASHINGTON', P. C. Dec. 12.
Officials of western federal reserve
tanks in testifying today before the
interstate commerce commission de
clared that financial conditions In
grain producing- territories of the
United States are so bad that some
relief to farmers, probably in de
creased railroad rates on their prin
cipal products, should be afforded.
The testimony was brought out by
western state railroad commissions,
which are urging further decreases
on rates of grain, grain products
and hay in all the territory west of
1 he Mississippi and east of the
3locky mountains.
J. E. Blair, director of the Chicago
reserve bank; Curtis L. Mosher, as
sistant reserve agent at Minne
apolis, and O A. AVitherspoon, dep
uty governor of the Kansas bank,
joined in urging the freight rate re
duction. The agricultural industry
of the west, they said, had lost more
proportionately in ank deposits and
iu loans and had registered a higher
percentage of business failures
during the last two years than in
dustrial areas.

13,000 Tons of Poison Needed
Yearly in Combating Boll
Weevil in South.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 12.
Shortage of calcium arsenic, used in
exterminating the cotton boll weevil,
wag disclosed today by the geolog
ical survey, which reported stocks
of domestic arsenic on hand October
I at 1230 short tons, with the output
between October 1 and next May 1
estimated at 3400 tons.
About 8000 tons were distributed
during the 1922 season to southern
cotton growers, according to the
survey.
Though unusually large demand
doubtless is the principal cause of
the shortage, there are a number
or other causes, the geological sur
Vey reports. Among these are the
'eduction or the quantity or copper
res treated at Anaconda, Mont., and
It Tacoma, Wash., the small supply
of arsenical dust from lead smelters
in Montana, Utah and Colorado, and
the decrease in the imports from
Canada, Japan and Mexico.
The present demnd amounts to
12,000 tons a year, while the avail
able supply in 1921 was only 6455
tons.

CONFERENCE HOPE
DASHED BY 1SMET
Exchange of Populations Is
Still Demanded. y
CURZON PLAN REJECTED
Proposal to Have League Ad
minister Affairs of Minori
ties Is Spurned.
LAUSANNE. Dec. 12. (By the
Associated Press.) I smet Pasha,
head of the Turkish delegation,
dashed the hopes of the near eastern
conference for a speedy and satis
factory settlement for the protection
of minorities in Turkey when, in an
address at this afternoon's session,
he insisted upon an exchange of the
Greek populations in Anatolia fur
the Turks in Macedonia. He de
manded exclusion of all foreign in
terference in Turkey, which, he said.
would protect the remaining minori
ties, as the Turks had always been
able to get along with other na
tionals when they kept out of poli
tics and were not stirred up by
outside influences.
Ismet declared that Turkey would
not accept Lord Curzon's proposal
to have the league of nations ad
minister the affairs- of the minori
ties, as that would mean that the
foreign powers would continue their
interference in Turkish affairs and
encourage the minorities to appeal
to the league of nations. This plan,
he asserted, would result in the ex
ploitation of minorities for political
ends under "the lying cloak of hu
manitarianism." .
Whole History Reviewed.
The Turkish chief delegate re
viewed the entire history of Turkey
from the time of the conquest of
Constantinople. The Turks, he said,'
lived peacefully with the Greeks
and Armenians until 100 years ago,
when the Russians- began agitating
against the Mohammedans under
the pretense that Russia was the
protector of orthodox Christians in
Turkey.
He charged Russia -with being re
sponsible for the attack Gladstone
made on Turkey in behalf of the
Armenians, and maintained that the
so-called Turkish atrocities against
Armenians had been in the nature
of reprisals for pogroms perpetrated
by the Armenians -through encour
agement from Russia, which wanted
some excuse for invading Turkey.
Armenians Are Blamed, s
"The Armneians -brought the mas
sacres on themselves," Ismet Pasha
declared. "They have abused Turk
ish generosity and dabbled in poli
tics. Jews have never had any trou
ble in Turkey; that proves that the
Greeks and the Armenians have
been responsible for their difficul
ties in Turkey. They were fired by
the example of other Greeks, the
Bulgers and Serbs, to imitate. them
in the hope of upsetting the Turkish
government."
According to Ismet, there are now
no minorities in Turkey which can
claim the right to belong to any
other nation, thus disposing of the
Armenian claim for a national home
in Turkey.
Lord Curzon replied in a spirited
manner to Ismet, saying it was the
first time the conference had seen
the Turkish delegate as a historian,
and had always thought of him be-
fora as a soldier end a diplomat.
Solution Is Demanded.
The British secretary for foreign
affairs said the conference was deal
ing with the affairs of peoples in
the g-reatest distress and must find
a solution for the problem of the
miserable refugees, and without re
gard to ancient history, and must
frame a treaty which would protect
these unhappy people. He called the
attention of the conference to. the
fact that Ismet Pasha had not men
tioned the allied plans for solving
the difficulties of the minorit'es in
Turkey, which Curzon had presented
at the opening of today's session,
but had devoted himself to history
and an attack on the league of
nations, which might be useful to
Turkey.
In emphatic tones he denounced
Ismet's demand that there be a
forced exchange of Turkish and
Greek populations, and declared- that
minorities must remain in both
countries.
The debate between Turkey and
Greece over the question of which
nation is responsible for the tragedy
of Smyrna continued to form a domi
nant issue at the near east confer
ence. Ismet Pasha said he was quite
willing that the treaty which the
delegates hope to frame shall pro
vide for a system of payment to the
allied nations for the damages their
nationals suffered in Turkey during
the great war, but that on the other
hand, he would insist upon reim
bursement by Greece for the losses
sustained by the Turks in Asia
Minor at tho hands of the retreating
Greek army.
Greeks Also to Ask Indemnity.
Ex-Premier Venizelos insisted that
the Greeks burned only through
military necessity. He declared that
the real crime of the Asia Minor
campaign was the action of the
Turkish troops in outraging and
shooting Greek residents, sacking
homes and deporting hundreds of
thousands of. destitute human be
ings. If Turkey exacts reparations from
Greece. M. Venizelos said he would
present & bill for the horrors and
injustice' suffered by the Greeks.
The question of the Ottoman debt
was developing as a danger point
in the negotiations and the bitter
Turkish-Grecian dispute, which was
based on something more than a
Question of money, was serving to
make settlement of the whole prob
lem exceedingly difficult.
Ambassador Child today made an
earnest plea to the conference for
the protection of the minorities in
"the near east and the creation, if
possible, of safe territorial refuge
for special populations.

(Continued From First Vuge.)
1919, three degrees above zero ush
ered in on the wings of a blizzard.
Continued cold has resulted in a
remarkably low river stage. At S
o'clock last night at Jow tide the

SSOW BREAKS WATER PIPE
The Dalles on. Short Rations as
Result of Slide.
THE DALLES, Or, Dec 12. (Spe
cial.) A shortage of city water
caused by a slide blocking mill
creek somewhere along the upper
reaches and cessation of boat serv
ice between this city and Portland
because the locks at Cascade Locks
are frozen, were coincident with the
coldest weather of the winter ex
perienced here last night and today.
One degree below zero in the city
and two and three degrees below
in outlying districts were reported
as the low marks for last night. De
spite clear skies, 19 above was the
high mark reached today and this
had receded to 10 above at 6 P. M.
A request that water be used spar
ingly until the dam caused by the
slide breaks through, in order that
the city reservoirs may be kept
at a level commensurate with safety
in the event of fire, was made by
the city water commission today. No
water was coming through the pipe
line into the res.ervoirs during the
day, it was said.
LA GRAJTDE HAS 4 BELOW
82 Degrees Reported at Meachani
by Railroad Men.
LA GRANDE. Or., Dec. 12. (Spe
cial.) Union county experienced its
coldest weather of 'the season early
this morning before daylight when
the mercury dropped to four degrees
telow in La Grande. Railroad men
reported that it dropped 32 degrees
below zero at Meacham and reports
frcm Union and North Powder stated
that the cold was intense. The drop
in temperature was not accompanied
by wind, the atmosphere being still
and the sky clear. In La Grande at
10 o'clock Tuesday morning the
temperature registered eight degrees
above zero with sunshine flooding
the city. '
Local sportsmen are fearful that
the cold snap, accompanied by the
snow which fell recently, will en
danger the lives of pheasants and
other game birds and animals.
SXOW DEEP IX SISKITOUS
Autoists Crossing Mountains
Have Hard Time.
ASHLAND. Or., Dec. 12. (Special.)
With .22 inches of snow on the
summit of the Siskiyous, tourists
coming from the south in particu
lar are having a hard time reaching
this city. Five men are at present
employed in keeping the Pacifia
highway cleared of snow, but a
freeze-up of the caterpillar tractor
and a breakdown of the truck U3ed
to pull a drag snow plow has tem
porarily put an end to this work.
The road is rougher than if it
had not been touched, according to
tourists, several of whom were
warned at Hornbrook and shipped
their cars over the hill. Conditions
on the California side of the summit
were said to be even worse than
on the Oregon side.
FREEZING AT WALLA WALLA
Autoists Also Have Trouble With
Radiators on Machines. .
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Dec. 12.
(Special.) Walla' Walla's plunge
from balmy Chinook weather to
bitter cold came so suddenly that
many citizens were unprepared. The
result was that plumbers and auto
repair men put in a busy morning
thawing out water pipes and auto
radiators. - - -
Even the 10 above temperature
yesterday failed to be enough warn
ing for many who woke this morn
ing to find the temperature 1 above
and their autos frozen up. Some
finally thawed out their machines
sufficiently to drive downtown, the
radiators emitting steam like minia
ture geysers. Several found that
their machines froze up while driv
ing, so cold was the air.

A Plain Statement From
Mr. William Krause Regarding
Peterson's Upstairs Store
Early Monday morning the following statem
Krause, formerly manager for the Peterson Co.,
THE STOCKHOLDERS of the Pe
terson company have given me
full authority to dispose of the balance
of merchandise left after the dissolu
tion of the corporation.
The offers from dealers and speculators were so
out of proportion to the actual value of the stock
left that I felt it would be better for everybody con
cerned to sell it at retail.
I have been given the use of the Peterson Store
in the Pittock block free of all expense (rent, etc.)
until January 1, 1923.
Therefore I am in a position to sell what remains
of the Peterson stocks at prices which would not
otherwise be possible.
Yesterday I marked everything down to a point
where the selling will go forward without a dull spell.
DRESSES that were bought to sell
for as much as Thirty Dollars I
have re-marked $12.
Dresses that were intended to sell for as much as
Fifty Dollars are now all marked ?17.
It should be borne in mind that these are all new
and stylish, that they-were fairly priced to begin
with, and that the reductions are real reductions.
Indeed, it is possible to get three Dresses and to
pay for one !
Coats are reduced in nearly as drastic a fashion.
The Sport Coats, which we expected to sell for as
much as $22.50, I have reduced to $14.

is, in my judgment, as low as they ought to be.
When Suits that were made to sell for Seventy
five Dollars are offered at $25, they will not last long
at that figure. To cut the price again would be like
throwing money to the birds. .
I feel that in this advertisement I can be per
fectly frank with everybody.
THE HATS are marked $2.25 and
$1.25. (They were vastly more, as
anybody can see.)
The Furs are $16.50 and $9.50, which is about
half the erstwhile prices. The Wool Scarfs will be
sold for $3.25 and $4.95. The Silk Jersey Bloomers
are marked down to $3.50 and the Petticoats to $4.25.
Blouses of Georgette in white and flesh will be sold
at $2.95. The selling will be re-opened tomorrow at
9:15 A. M. I shall be glad to see ail my friends and
the public take full advantage of what I personally
believe to be a real opportunity to BUY.
