FINAL OUTCOME DOUBTFUL the dances continue. Dick R. "Webster, manager of the band, has resigned be cause his action in arranging for the dance of last Saturday night was not upheld by the band organization. . J. Siefarth. one of the directors of the band, who opposed the dance, is likely to withdraw in case there is a con tinuance of the Saturday events. COUNTIES CALLEDIN GRANT CONFERENCE Kew Constitution Gives Vote to Women and Forecast of Result in Choosing Xew Rigsdag to Act on Cession Is Futile. COPENHAGEN, via London. Aug. 12. The Danish Landsthing. or Senate, on motion of its President, today declared to resolve into a committee to consider the bill for ratification oftha cession of the Danish West Indies to the United States. There are apparently the best grounds for the prediction that the Folkething, which today resumed its deliberations on the bill, will approve the sale. The 1-andsthing, however, seems to have a safe majority against the proceeding. Xew Election Likely. ' The result, according to the best opinion here, will be that the Higsdag wti be dissolved and a general elec tion held under the new constitution, which, while its going into effect was to have been postponed until after the war, will, in the event of need, be put into force immediately. The Radi cals and Socialists, who are in the majority in thw lower house, favor con firmation. In the Landsthing. however, the Conservative and left opposition ap pears certain to prevail. Much of the opposition to confirma tion of the sale is not based on eco nomic or broader grounds, but is pure ly political. It is due mainly to a feeling of resentment at the attitude of the government, which objecters ac cuse of conducting negotiations with the United States in secrecy and of denying that such negotiations were under way until the very moment the announcement was made that a bargain had been struck. Ex-Premier Supports Sale. J. C. Christensen, former Prime Sin ister and now leader of the Left in the Folkething. has declared his belief that the existing Rigsdag is not compe tent to decide the West Indies question. In the event of new elections, however, he would support confirmation. The former Premier was a member of the government of 1902, which laid the proposal to sell the islands before the Rigsdag. Then, as now, the upper house opposed the government proposal ani defeated confirmation. The new constitution confers the new suffrage upon women and domestic servants and also reduces the age of eligibility from 30 to 29 for the first general election. The total number of voters will there fore be more than doubled. Hence no body is brave enough to attempt to forecast the probable complexion of the new Rigsdag if one has to be chosen. , Delay of Month Possible. The final decision on the sale may te postponed nearly a month if the proposal of Radical and Socialist mem bers of the Folkething for a plebes cite is adopted on Monday. The Folke thing, or lower house, recessed today after postponing the confirmation of the sale until Monday. The proposal of the Radicals and Socialists calls for the approval of the cession treaty be tween Denmark and the United States by Parliament. The approval by Par liament, however, will become effective r, only if it is ratified by a majority vote of the plebescite, which is to be held within three weeks, and under the franchise provisions of the new consti tution, according to the proposal. The advocates of the sale believe the course proposed should meet the ob jections of the l ading opponents, who have been laying much stress on their opinion that the present Parliament is not competent to decide the matter alone and that the people should have a chance to express their wishes. ORFORD CARNIVAL ENDS AXXUAL AGATE CELEBRATION' RE PORTED RECORD-BREAKER. BUYERS' WEEK IS PRAISED George P. Alexander Says Buyer and Jobbers Equally Pleased. Buyers' week for jobbers of all lines was a big success in the opinion of George P. Alexander, of the Goodman Bros. Shoe Company, a wholesale firm, which has been active in the co-opera tive efforts to extend Portland's trade radius. 'It was a big week, not alone for the home wholesale merchants, but for the buyers from the out-of-town place." said Mr. Alexander.' "They found Port land had something to offer and really had an attraction for them in a busi ness as well as a social way. Buyers' week was made a solid institution this year. I heard ever so many say so. Of all the local merchants I "haven't found one who was disappointed with the week, and I didn't hear a visiting buyer complain. They all seemed to feel they had profited by coming." Eugene' Chamber's Bureau Finds Congress Has Vio lated State's Rights.

Operating official of 4he railroads in the Northwest still are fearful that the pending negotiations between the railroad managers and the trainmen and enginemen. will fail to prevent a strike. This was Indicated in a tele gram yesterday from W. C Albee. su perintendent of the Northern Pacific at Tacoma. Mr. Albee's dispatch follows: "In the New Tork Times today W. G. Lee, president of Brotherhood Railway Trainmen, states: There isn't going to be any arbitration of our demands and you can't make that too strong. - I am for settling this affair peaceably if we can but there isn't going to be any arbitration. y -.

Recognition of Power Opposed. The matter is being handled by the legislation and taxation bureau of the chamber, W. W. Calkins chief, and this bureau arrived at its conclusion after considering carefully the report of L. E. Bean, who was In Washington in the interest of the port districts affected by the grant land legislation. Basing his arguments upon his ob servations in Washington, Mr. Bean opposed at the local meeting the in dorsement of the Sinnott bill requiring the expenditure in Oregon of 40 per cent of the reclamation portion of the proceeds from the sales of the grant lands. He maintained that to go on record in this would be to recognize the right of Congress to revest title to the lands, and would act as a bar to any action to recover taxes for the lands in the future.
