KING SPURNS COLLECTORSHIP Underwood Blocking Way to Court of Claims. PRESIDENT IS PERPLEXED Refusal of Offer by Committeeman Puts Situation as Before Cham berlain and Lane to Hold Conference. OREQONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. March Si. It became known to day that the Administration la disposed to tender to Milton Miller, of Lebanon, the appointment ae Minister to one of the Booth American Republic, possibly Paraguay. Ecuador or Guatemala. These positions carry salaries of $10,000 each, more than double that of Collector of Customs, which MUIer U actively seek ing. Several of these offices pay 112. 000 or more. M. Watson, of Portland, great ad mirer and several times host of 'Wil liam J. Bryan, also la under consider ation for a Central or South American dlplotnatie appointment. "Watson Is an active candidate for United States Mar shal, but the Administration Is considering- him for appointment In Bryan's department, and he also may be named Minister to one of the smaller republics. Kolrtloa May Be Made Easier. If Miller and Watson are eliminated from the list of candidates for Oregon Jobs, the patronage situation confront In; Senators Chamberratn and Lane will be greatly simplified. Oregon Senators expect to get to gether and agree upon Oregon's slate ur.'y nest week. It la probable that National Committeeman King, of Port )nd, will be called Into conference trhen these appointments are being con. sldered. If the two Senators cannot agree, they will divide the patronage, but join In recommendations. There Is less certainty than hereto fore that King will be appointed as sociate judge on the Court of Claims. Representative Underwood, of Ala bama, has come forward strongly urg ing that this office be given one of his constituents. President Wilson Is somewhat perplexed and In the hope of adjusting matters, offered to appoint King Collector of Customs at Portland, assuming when he made the offer that the salary was SoOOO. Wilson Acta oa Owa Initiative. Judge King declined this offer, not alone because the salary has been cut to 14500. but because collectorshlp is not In his line and he has promised bis support to one of his friends for this position. In tendering the collectorshlp to King, the President acted entirely on his own Initiative, as neither Senators Chamberlain nor Lane have recommend ed him for this office, and neither ex pects to. If the Court of Claims judgeship goes to an Alabama man. King may seek the appointment as United States At torney for Oregon. Milton Miller Is a well-known figure in Democratic party circles In Oregon, lie waa a delegate to the Baltimore convention which nominated Wilson for 'resident, and Is also a State Senator from Linn County. n.

With 1000 representative men and women assembled around the 24 producers' wagons which arrived here as early aa 7 o'clock today, the first public market of this city was opened.

President Wilaon's recent statement withdrawing the aid of this Government from what was popularly known aa the "six-power loan" means the retirement of the United States from participation in Fax Eastern diplomacy. The President today talked about China Informally with some of his call, ers, among them George Bronson Rea, technical secretary of the railway com mittee empowered by the Chinese pro visional government to construct 10, 000 miles of trunk rallwaya in China. Mr. Rea explained to the President that without the aid of the United States Government American capital had been enlisted in the railway en terprise, but that It was desirable to know how far the United States would go In protecting what Mr. Rea termed "honorable contracts between American business men and the Chinese govern ment," Independent of political connec tion. Action Approved In China. The President asked Mr. Bea to pre Dare and aubmit to him a memoran dum and promised to study the Question carefully. Mr. Bea pointed out mat the objectionable features of the six power loan project, to which China herself had objected, were those which concerned the Internal administration of China and that his relations with Sun Yat Sen and the Chinese Republic were such that he knew the action of President Wilson had met with ap proval In China. Mr. Wilson indicated that the devel opment of the Administration's policy toward China would be gradual ana well measured, that there was no in tention of withdrawing the potential influence for protection which this Government has exerted In respect of China, and that the Wilson Adminis tration would make a vigorous effort to promote American trade Interests in the Orient. Partnerhla to Be Avoided. The President's viewpoint was that the United Statea would be In a far better, position to help preserve the integrity of China by remaining out side of any particular agreements which might have for their object a voice in China's political future than by actual participation. The Wilson Administration thinks It can win more favor with China and be of more actual service as a disinter ested friend than as an ambitious part ner In any loan agreement, which by its terms might bind the United States to future programmes or the powers with respect to China The policy of the United States has been only partially announced, this Government thus far having given ex pression merely to Its aversion to the idea of interfering with China's in ternal affairs.

Ever since Dr. . Friedrlch Franz 1 Frledmann first made his sensational ' announcement that he had discovered a positive cure for tuberculosis, the attention of the entire civilized world has been directed .toward this young German physician, who Is now dem onstrating his treatment In New York and other Eastern cities. His address delivered before the Berlin Medical Society on November Si 1012, In which he first mads hie dramatic assertions, therefor Is of general interest, as those persons who are not themselves sufferers from one form or another of this dread dis ease know persons who are affllclted and who may be benefited if Dr. Frledmann's method proves success ful. The following translation of the address, with the purely technical terms and expressions of Interest to medical men only, Is from the Klln lsche Wochenscnrltt. a Berlin med ical journal. Self - confidence and overwhelming faith in his treatment have character ized the private and the professional acts of Dr. F. F. Frledmann ever since his startling address made him a sub ject of world-wide interest. Krom the start he has had strong opposition from members of the medi cal profession, but he has had Just as many earnest and sincere supporters. Medical men in America are inclined to view his reputed discovery conserva- M-.lt, hut all are honeful that it Will accomplish the amazingly successful re sults that he claims for It. in hi Berlin address Dr. Frledmann did not describe the process by which h obtains his serum, but he has since explained that It is extracted from turtles inoculated with tuDercuiar bacilli. It Is understood that it was nmuri for him to Inoculate turtle after turtle until he obtained a serum free from danger of further Infection. Opinion Widely Divided. Following: Dr. Frledmann's possibly epoch-making address the assembled physiclans.indulged in a lively discus sion. Those who had been witnesses to his series of treatments were enthu siastic in their support. Others were decidedly skeptical. The descriptive part of his address follows: "There is a great difference In tuber culosis bacilli. One kind is not like another. I have experimented with many different avirulent cultures for curative purposes, including those ob tained from human beings and made avirulent by precautionary measures, but I have given up such experiments rnmnletelv. as the curative results of fered little encouragement.

Golden Sun and Cloudless Sky, De nied In West, Will Spiile on Women of Eastern Coast. Not in Portland alone, but In the en tire Pacific Northwest, this bids fair to be a sorry Sunday for the Easter hat and the annual Faster parade, for the United States Weather Forecaster blan keted the whole bf Oregon, Washington and Idaho yesterday evening with the prediction: "All signs point to more snow and rain on Easter. The only place In which an Easter hat will be safe during the day will be at home in the hatbox." Snowfall amounted to about one-tenth of an inch yesterday, but stayed upon the ground hardly long enough to be measured. Intermittently between the flurries of snow came rain. WASHINGTON, March 21. The weather forecaster relented tonight and sent to American womanhood suffra lst and anti-suffragist the Joyful tid ings of a fair Easter day in most sec tions of the United States. A golden sun, undimmed in a cloud less sky, will shine, he promised, upon tha blush and bloom of the Easter pa rade In the greater part of the coun try. In the Middle West and Rocky Mountain country the weather will, be not only fair, but warmer. There are some dismal spots in the prediction, however. It Is announced that a storm Is forming on the Pacific Coast and may mar Easter Sunday there. Easter bonnets, buds and blooms will be given a touch of frost on the At lantic seaboard. Sadly and timidly doth the forecaster give the probability of rain in the Gulf states. TRAINLOAD ESCAPES DEATH Stop Made at End of Tottering Bridge but Engine Goes Over. LTNDONVILLE. VL, March 22. Facing- what appeared to be Imminent death, the engineer of a passenger train from Montreal for Boston brought to day the crowded coaches to an abrupt stop on the edge of a tottering bridge. An Instant later the structure, weather-weakened by a flood, gave way under the weight "of the locomotive, and the engine with Its crew plunged into the ice-choked stream. The 125 passengers who scrambled out of the car to learn the cause of their sudden shaking up received a sec ond shock when trainmen reported that, another bridge over the Passumpslo River, a mile back, had been swept away a moment after their train had cleared it. The engineer and fireman dropped Into the water and swam ashore. 136 COLONISTS ON TRAIN Largest Party of Season Reaches Portland on Limited.

This Is the largest party of colonists that has come In on any one train since the beginning of the colonist rates, and, considering that the colonist travel sea son Is young, Is regarded by the rail road authorities as indicative of a record-breaking travel for the whole sea son.

VICE WARRIORS ASK PRESIDENT TO- AID National Action to Find Remedy Is Desire. WiLSOH AGREES TO CONSIDER Conference of Governors and Commissioners Sought. LASH URGED FOR SLAVERS Illinois Body Advocates More Care in Child Training and Abolition of Joy Rides and Ragtime Dancing as Cure. WASHINGTON, March 22. The whipping-post for white slave traffickers and seducers of women, more careful training of children and abolition of Joy rides and ragtime dancing were ad vocated as remedies for the social evil at a hearing today conducted by the Illinois Senatorial Vice Commission, which came to Washington primarily to Interest President Wilson in a Nation-wide vice crusade. The Commission secured the promise of President Wilson to consider their request for him to call a conference of Governors and representatives of Vice Commissioners of various states to Aturiv tha social problem, the confer ence to be held in Washington as soon as practicable. Representative iilli, oi Illinois, agreed on request of the com mittee to Introduce In Congress a bill creating a commission to look Into vice conditions In the District of Columbia. Witnesses Hold Men to Blame. At the hearing, attended by many prominent women and men interested in social welfare work, the low wage question as a cause of girls going wrong was discussed, s. eral of the witnesses decrying the idea, insisting that lack of education and resisting force had much more to do with the downfall of women. Men, too, were blamed as primarily responsible for the degradation of girls. Witnesses who declared that low wages were not responsible for social vice, admitted, however, on being ques tioned by Lieutenant-Governor O'Hara, head of the Commission, that higher wages for working girls would better equip them to resist 11 and all said that a minimum wage law for girls would be of great benefit. $S Fixed aa Mlnimnm. Eight dollars a week as a minimum wage for women was the generally ac cepted sum estimated by the witness. Mra Harvey W. Wiley, wife of the for mer chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, being one who proposed that sum as a minimum living wage fo girla Mrs. Wiley advocated sex hygiene instruction to the young as one of the baslo remedies of the social evU and urged women police for cities and en franchisement of women. "Give us the franchise." she said, "and we will raise the age of consent so that 12-year-old girls cannot have their bodies given away." Mra Wiley and other witnesses also declared that employers of underpaid girls and women had not the moral right to give money to charities out of the earnings of their enterprises until they first had increased the wages of their employes. Early Marriages Advocated. Dr. W. C. Woodward, health officer of the District of Columbia, urged the en couragement of early marriage among young men as one of the remedies for the social evil.
