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.

Buyers' week for jobbers of all lines

George P. Alexander, of the Goodman
Bros. Shoe Company, a wholesale firm,
which has been active in the co-opera

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."

ROADS YET FEAR STRIKE
Language of Labor Leaders Cited to
Show Stand Taken.
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 -.
"The. public should understand that
attitude of brotherhood leaders indi
cates that the danger of strike appears
more serious today than eves, before
and it is desired that they be fully in
formed as to the attitude Of the lead
ers as Indicated by the statement made
by Mr. Lee. :".. , .
of developing the power project ia es- the tax rolls, and extend taxes against
timatea at szo.uuu. them.
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.

Absence of Intoxicated Revelers Held
to Have Materially Increased
Success of Week's Fun.
PORT ORFORD, Or., Aug. 12 (Spe
cial.) The sixth annual Agate Carni
val, the most successful on record,
closed tonight with a mammoth dance.
People from all directions came for
the closing feature.' and undoubtedly
will occupy the board until late tomor
row morning. Ideal weather helped to
swell attendance and add to the enjoy
ment of the crowds.
People who have attended other
Agate Carnivals here have noted the
entire absence of drunkenness. No re
ports of drinking have been made, and
nobody was seen about the city or
grounds that appeared in the least in
toxicated. The crowd today was about twice
the size of any previous day this year,
and the programme was quite informal.
The greater part of the day was de
voted to excursions to points of interest
within a radius of 20 miles. Among
the places visited were Brush Creek,
Crystal Creek. Elk and Sixes rivers.
Flores Creek and the wireless station
at Cape Blanco. One couple, motoring
here from Walla Walla. Wash., climbed
Humbug .Mountain, the highest moun
tain in Oregon which touches the Pa
cific Ocean.
Floyd Huntley, of Gold Beach, who
had a 100-yard race agreed upon with
John Masterson. had no opponent, Mas
terson failing to show up.
Many guests were given an excursion
to sea, where fishing was indulged in for
several hours. Others were taken out
to the rock of the reef, where hunters
each year slaughter several hundred sea
lions. The crowd is holding its vitality
well, and everybody is still having a
good time. The weather has been ideal
ever since the carnival opened.
