TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, APRIIi 18, 1913
L. W. HILL ARRIVES
AND HURRIES EAST
Great Northern Head Sees Big
Trade Revival and More
Work Available.
ROAD BONDS ARE PRAISED
1'armcr Is Only Person. 'Wlio Kully
Appreciates Opportunity Sow
Offered by AVar to Increase
Gains, He Thinks.
"They seem to be petting ready for
.big things back in New York," said
Louis W. Hill, chairman and president
of the Great Nortnern Hallway, as he
sped through the edge of Portland and
passed on towards Spokane and fat. .f aui
Friday night.
"I mean." he continued, "that as soon
as this war is over, the railroads ought
to be reaedy to proceed with some of
the development work that they sus
pended when the present depression
set in.
Maybe there will be a slight reac
tion and some readjustments after the
war ends, but I believe business will go
ahead as never before. At that, I don't
believe America is taking full advan
tage of its opportunities for trade ex
tension that the war otters."
Farmer Considered Exception.
lie made exception to this last ob
ervation, though, in the case of the
American farmer, who is increasing his
wheat acreage and at the same tn
trying to increase the yield per acre,
And this in spite of the fact that James
J. Hill father of L. W. recently pre
dieted that wheat will go down to 60
or 70 cents a bushel next year.
"I don't like to disagree with my
"dad," commented the Great Northern
head, 'but I am rather inclined to
think that he meant J1.60 or $1.70
bushel. I can't see why the demand
for wheat won't continue even after
the war, and if the demand continues
the price will stay up."
Mr. Hill was disappointed last night
when he was prevented from visiting
Portland. He was a passenger on
board the steamer Northern Pacific, in
from San Francisco.
Delay Prevent Visit.
The vessel was a few hours late In
.arriving at the Flavel dock, and con
sequently the train that brought him
with the other steamer passengers, up
from the mouth pf the river was de
layed. He and the members of his
family, who have passed the last two
months in California, came up on their
. private car to Willbridge, where Uiey
were transferred, to the regular North
Bank limited bound for Spokane. They
will continue to St. Paul.
"Father has been telegraphing me to
come home for the last week." he ex
plained, "and I guess 1 11 have to go
right straight home. I'll be back out
here in a month or eix weeks and look
over the line. Then I'll have a chance
to visit."
Mr. Hill already has commenced
preparations to bring a group of Black
.foot Indians from Glacier National
;Park to the Rose Festival in June, and
41 possiDie, win arrange his time so
that he can be here for the festival.
Road Bonds Draw Praise.
Mr. Kill was much Interested In
Multnomah County's recent bond, elec
tion by which $1,250,000 was mads
available for road improvement work
in the vicinity of Portland.
"That's the stuff," he exclaimed
when told of the plans for paving the
main highways. The life of the coun
try depends upon good roads. And,jio
one knows it better than the railroad
man. You'll never fini an enterprising
railroad opposing good roads, although
the railroad business seems to suffer
as a result of them. Roads are the
companions of civilization. You'll never
find civilization without roads. They
help to develop the country and the
railroads, along with all other branches
of business, get the benefit.
In Mr. Hill's opinion three-fourths of
the people who visit the San Francisco
fair will come to Portland. The Pacific
Northwest is due to get as much benefit
out of the exposition as is California,
he thinks. He predicts a record-break
ing attendance.
Large Business Expected.
; The new steamers Great Northern
and Northern Pacific will be in regular
service to accommodate the travel be
tween the exposition city and Portland
and Mr. Hill, among others, will be
greatly disappointed if those vessels do
not get a large share of the traffic
"That's what we built them for," he
declared, "and I look for a lot of busi
ness. For the present, at least, we'll
have to confine our extension and de
velopment efforts to those ships. They
have cost us a lot of money, but we
expect the business to make the ven
ture a success."
Mr. Hill visited the steamer Great
Northern at San Francisco a fe,w days
ago and viewed the repair work now
being done to her engines. He says it
will take six weeks or two months to
complete the repairs which are being
done under direction of the Cramps
people, of Philadelphia, who built the
new ships.

POLITICAL COUP FEARED
Iiabor Council Is Urged to Act to
Head Off Politicians.
Fears that politicians might get
themselves elected delegates to the
Central Labor Council to use the labor
organization to further political ambi
tions were expressed last night at the
meeting of the council, when an at
tempt was made to pass an amendment
giving that body the power to reject
any delegates not actively employed at
their crafts. The amendment lost by a
bic majority.
It was pointed out by those support
ing the amendment that a number of
politicians, who had come Out for dif
ferent oltices. had cards In various
branches of the federation, in spite of j
the fact that they were not working
at their trades.
It was announced that the campaign
committee, which is to take up th
active work of backing the man
chosen to run for City Commissioner
by the federation, would meet April
29 for a discussion of plana This com
mittee is to consist of two men chosen
from each of the branches of the fed
eration in the city.
President E. E. Smith warmly scored
the members of .the Central Labor
Council for not giving their more
active support in the campaign waged
In an attempt to defeat the good roads
bond issue. He said that M the labor
unions nao. siooa solidly against tne
bonds they would have been defeated.
He urged that all members of the coun
cil see to it that the pre-election prom
lses of those who carried the bonds
are carried out, particularly that hav
ing to do with the employment of home
labor.
Dr. Nina Eval:no "Wood, organizer of
the world Peace Association, presented
the tentative plan of that organization
for world peace for the consideration
of the council. The matter was turned
over to the executive board.
STUDENTS WIN IN PLAY
"WHAT HAPPE.VUD TO JONES"
GIVES AT JEFFKKSON HIGH'.
IS
Dancing Number, as Specialty, Also la
Feature of Cluss Keutertuinment
to Be Repeated Tonight.
A play better suited to the talents
of young players than "What Hap
pened to Jones" would be hard to find.
This was proved to the satisfaction of
several hundred people, who crowded
into the big auditorium' of Jefferson
High School Friday night, when the
June, '15, class presented the comedy.
A number of things happen to Jones.
By profession he is an inventor. His
name becomes known all over the
world, but the quiet, unassuming lit
tle inventor is known by few. With
his pretty daughter. Cissy, he decides
to go on a vacation. He enters a
fashionable hotel under an assumed
name, and, in his absent-mindedness,
loses his wallet containing a lot of
money and his identification papers,
and is forced to work out his enormous
bill. In the meantime his pretty little
daughter has fallen in love, and the
thief who stole the wallet is enjoying
life Immensely.
It turns out well In the end, with
everybody asking Jones' pardon. The
villain then goes out of their lives for
ever. As Jones, John Mowry gave a most
acceptable interpretation. Helen Brock,
as Cissy, was adorable and girlish. All
the other parts, including that of Rich
ard Heatherly, as given by Charles
McDonald, and. that of Bigbly, y Clar
ence Jackson, were splendidly acted.
Others in the cast were Ruth Walter
as Minerva, Madeline Slotbloom as
Margery, Helen Zimmerman as Mrs.
Goodly, Marian Coffey as Helma,
Bertha v andermerer as Alvina, V. F.
Everett as Ebenezer Goodly, MacMaur

by Washington.
ADMIRAL HOWARD TO ACT
United Slates Government Officials
Are Not Inclined to Believe Re
ports of Xaval Base and Mi
kado's Man Denies It.
WASHINGTON. April 17. While dis
inclined to credit reports that Japan
had established a naval base at Turtle
Bay, Lower California, United States
officials Friday instituted an investi
gation to learn exactly what use the
belligerent warships were making of
Mexican territorial waters.
Secretary Daniels telegraphed Ad
miral Howard, -of the Pacific fleet.
asking him to ascertain whether there
was any foundation .for the reports.
Secretary Bryan has received no infor
mation from the American consuls in
Lower California te. the effsct that
the Japanese intend to establish a naval
base there, but it was understood he
would communicate the press reports
to them with a request for any facts
that may bear on the subject.
Villa Official Inveatieatea.
Enrique C. Llorente. Washington rep
resentative of General Villa, tele
graphed Estevan Cantu, military gov
ernor of Lower California, which is
controlled by the Villa faction, to make
an investigation of the situation.
Commander Nomura, naval attache
of the Japanese embassy, called infor
mally n Navy Department officials to
day and assured them that there was no
truth in the reports that any attempt
was being made to establish a permit
nent naval base. He is understood to
have explained that the presence of the
Japanese warships was due entirely to
the accident to the cruiser Asama,
which ran aground there recently.
British Presence Reassuring.
Cabinet officers who are in touch
with American wrecking companies at
tempting to float the Asama pointed out
today that the vessel was fast In the
mud, almost to the decks. Navy off!
cers who have given attention to the
subject say it would not be surprising
if the Asama never was refloated.
Tne fact that British' colliers were
assisting the Japanese warships con
vinced high officials that there could
be no foundation for the idea that any
movement was afoot to establish a per.
manent base.
Should It develop, however, that the
British and Japanese vessels were
actually using Mexican waters as a
temporary base of supplies, it is con
sidered possible that the attention of
the Mexican authorities may be called
to it by the Washington Government
and the matter also be brought to the
attention of Great Britain and Japan.

M0SE BL0CH TO BE OUSTED
Office Space at Courthouse to
Be
Denied All Not Paying Rent.
A resolution adopted by the County
Commissioners Thursday will oust from
the Courthouse Mose Bloch, who has
occupied office space there for several
years while he pursued his business as
a so-called "warrant shaver." The
resolution declares it to be against the
policy of the Board to permit anyone
to use office space in the Courthouse
except where rent is paid, or where
charity may be extended.
For many years Bloch has pursued
his vocation in the Courthouse, and his
business has become a firmly estab
lished institution. He is said to have
grown rich discounting county war
rants, for which he took 1 per cent.
County Commissioner Hoi man said
yesterday that the resolution was not
aimed especially at anyone. It is nec

companies which have not paid their
rent. At present Bloch occupies desk
space in room 101, the office of Henry
Griffln, clerk of the county board of
relief.

fears in Vera Cruz that (general
Obregon's line of communications to
his base in the latter place may be
cut at any moment.
The following summary was issued
by the State Department tonight:
"Advices from Vera Cruz, dated April
15, are that another victory is claimed
over Villa, who renewed his attack on

to Shortage of Ammunition.
EL PASO, Tex.. April 17. On being

Obregon of the recent battle of Celaya.
General Villa late today telegraphed
the following statement to his border
agents:
"The Carranza people can get up the

captured 100 cannon, and many other
things, but the time will come soon
when all will be unmistakable.
"It is true that I have not taken the
City of Celaya. but I can Saw that it
we had losses their losses were heavier
and their condition worse than ours.
I hold all of my positions and I hope
to give a decisive blow to my foe."
Other telegrams from Villa explained
that his abandonment of the attack had
been caused by a shortage of ammuni
tion. He admitted having received
heavy losses in the center of his at
tacking formation during fighting this
week. No losses were given. The
messages were sent from Irapuatom,
Villa's base.

If we go through the list of our ac
quaintances, we will find not a single
one whom we could believe capable of
deviating from the narrow path of
truth even if he adhered to the princi
ples of Tight or wrong, my country,' or
'everything Is fair in war.'
"I am willing to assert of my numer
ous British friends that they might
shoot or bayonet mc, but that from
none of them would I expect a scur
rilous or insulting word."
