THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JUNE 24, 1917. BOARD SITS UNDER POLICE PROTECTION Mayor's Appointees Try to Gain Advantage in Chi- cago School Meeting. IMPEACHMENT PLAN READY Council Committee Will Meet on Monday to Take Steps to Oust V JVIayor Thompson; "Joke,1 Says the Mayor. CHICAGO, June 23. Members of the Chicago Board of Education, including those recently appointed by Mayor Thompson, whose right to office is in question because of the City Council's reconsideration of confirmation, met today under the protection of 52 uni formed policemen and 18 detectives and after two hours of jockeying for ad vantage by the two factions, adjourned to meet July 3. The only business transacted was the adoption of a mo tion to reassure teachers in the city schools and employes of the Board that they need not fear summary dismissal Jjccause of the internal strife. Meanwhile the judiciary committee of the City Council announced that it would consider on Monday the resolu tion of impeachment directed against Mayor William H. Thompson which was offered at yesterday's turbulent Coun cil meeting. Mac-Lay Hoyne, State's At torney, will be called In to advise on the matter. Mr. Hoyne has given it as his opinion that the Mayor's action in refusing to entertain motions at the Council meeting and in declaring the meeting- adjourned was abuse of power and ground for Impeachment proceed in a-s. After the Mayor had called an ad journment and left the chamber, dodg ing books hurled at his head by Alder men and followed by cries of "robber," the session was reconvened and adopted the resolutions attacking the Mayor. The matter will be first considered by the Judiciary committee. Anti-Thomp-Fon Aldermen largely predominate in the Council and in the committee. Mayor Thompson said today that talk of his resigning was a "joke." Later he issued a formal statement that patrolmen will be placed on all school property to prevent the -Old IB card from taking possession.

LIQUOR SEIZURE UPHELD Washington Court Holds Shipments Xiose Interstate Character. OLTMPIA. Wash.. June 23. The Ftate Supreme Court decided today, in the appeal of tbo CSreat Northren Rail way Company against an order of the Whatcom County Court authorizing the confiscating of 15 casks of whisky eeized at Belllngham because permits were not displayed on the casks, that shipment of liquor into prohibition etates lost all Interstate characteristics under the United States Supreme Court decision upholding the Webb-Kenyon act. The railroad company contended that the omission of permits on the casks constituted no violation of the liquor shipment law except- as to the manner of shipment prescribed by the Hate law. The Supreme Court af firmed the order of seizure. The liquor, shipped to a drug store in Bell lngham, was valued at 16550. CARMEN ASK INCREASE Seattle Company Negotiates With Its 2 00O Employes.

BUEL0W IS FOR INDEMNITY Ex-German Chancellor Hopes for Early I'eace With Compensation. PARIS, June 23. The Zurich corre spondent of the Petit Parisien quotes Prince von- Buelow. ex-German Chan cellor, as saying in reply to birthday greetings from the city of Bromberg, Prussia, that he hoped this year would bring to the German people longed-for peace, a peace with compensation for their suffering and sacrifice and an indemnity which would permit Ger many immediately to resume the posi tion she occupied before the war. This is the first time Prince von Buelow has expressed himself on the subject of Germany's war alms. Many Cities Refuse to Close Cam paign Tomorrow and Will Con tinue to Aid World's Great est Humanity Fund. WASHINGTON. June 23. Twenty million dollars must be collected to morrow and Monday by the Red Cross volunteer campaigners in American cities and towns to make the week's canvass for a 1 100, 000, 009 fund an en tire success. Despite the spectacjlar spurts of several cities, total new pledgers reported to National head quarters today were -only $3,000,000, making the aggregate collections fot six days about $80,000,000. Campaign managers directed local workers to make strenuous efforts in the next two days to ferret out indi viduals or corporations who have not contributed, and to impress on them the tremendous importance in Amer ica's war scheme of the success of the Ked Cross fund. The need of every humanity dollar that can be collected was emphasized today by Lord Northclif fe, British War Commissioner, now in the United States, in a letter to Henry B. F. Mc Karland, chairman of the district of Columbia Red Cross finance committee. Conservation Is Urged. "In wishing success and prosperity to your efforts," wrote Lord Nortti cliffe, "I would as an experienced Red Cross worker, urge caution and con servation of effort. Tou will need every cent you can collect and every pair of human hands you can employ. The war, in mv personal opinion, gathered by much experience at the front, is just beginning." Word reached here tonight that com mittees in a number of cities will re fuse to quit work Monday night when the campaign formally closes. Thl prolongation of the canvass will be sought In two classes of communities those like Cleevland, on fire with enthusiasm and piling up over-subscriptions, and cities, where for vari ous local reasons, the campaign did not start until late this week. Atlanta, suffering from the recent disastrous fire, is one of the cities of the latter class. Cleveland, which promises to be the star of the week's performance, by noon today made its total $4.18,000, and passed Chicago, whose report at that hour showed $4,160.00. New York City's total was known to be approach ing $35,000,000. Ohio Leads All But vr fork. Among the other big totals recorded at headquarters tonight were: Cincin nati, $1,400,000; Detroit, $2. 16r.000; Buf falo. $1,735,000: Pittsburg, $2,596000; Boston. $2,038,000; St. Louis, $1,465,000 and Philadelphia $1,232,000. Ohio still leads the states (except for New York) with $7092.000. Next was Pennsylvania with $4,615,000. Il linois came third with $1,119,000. Other large state totals were: New York (outside New York City). $3,591, 000; Massachusetts, $3,239,000 Michi gan. $2,617,253; Missouri, $2,200,000; New Jersey, $1,990,000; California, Si. 687.000; Connecticut, $1,819,000 and illn- nisota, $1,239,000. In percentage of their apportion ments actually raised Delaware headed the list with 320 per cent. Utah was second with 135, Ohio third with 118 and Michigan fourth with 104. Monday Is Pershing Day Tomorrow is Red Cross day in thou sands of Sunday schools and churches. Campaign directors expect the harvest from rural districts, where Intensive solicitation has not been done this week, to be large in church reports. In a statement tonight on the desig nation of Monday as "Pershing day," Secretary Baker said: "It Is eminently fitting that the final day of the Red Cross week a week devoted to collecting $100,000,000 for the purposes of humanity should be called 'Pershing day. I am sure that the leader first to carry the banner of our citizen soldiers to the Western front, will appreciate ten honor, and that his name on the other hand, will act as an inspiration which will urge patriotic Americans to more than com plete the sum required Dy me ted Cross before the close of Pershing day." COAST CITIES DOUBLE QUOTAS No Committee Doubts Ability to Meet Allotment. SAN FRANCISCO. June 23 Cities and communities of the Pacific Coast have officially reported, through the local committees in charge of securing funds for the Red Cross subscriptions aggregating in every instance more than 75 Der cent of their allotments. and in many instances far in excess of the first goal. California points, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, have re ported $1,912,060, or nearly two-thirds of the quota or a,uuo,ouu ior tne Biaie; the contributions reported up to to night do not include many of the cities and towns which have campaigns ac tively under way. In Washington, Spokane. Bellingbam, Aberdeen and Walla Walla have re ported contributions in excess of their quotas; in Oregon. Portland. Eugene, Medford and Salem have reset their aims, having passed tneir original marks: in Montana, Great Falls, Bill ings and Butte have raised their full allotments and other cities have re ported satisfactory progress. Among the oversubscriptions, Ash land, Or., has doubled Its allotment of $5000: Great Falls, Mont., asked for $25,000, has subscribed $60,000: Port land, Or., has exceeded its quota of $200,000 by $33,340, and Calexico, Cal., has passed its quota of $5000 by $500. Those cities which have attained their original goals have fixed a new high mark. In some instances double the first quota, and have continued their campaigns. No local committee has expressed any fear that its district or city would fail to attain the mark set for it by the final hour of the drive. WOMEX HELP RAISE FUXDS Spokane's Contribution Is $142,000, $42,000 in Excess or Quota. SPOKANE. Wash.. June 23. (Spe cial.) Spokane women took hold of a house-to-house canvass for the Red Cross fund today and more money rolled in. The combined efforts of women and- men, $7000 for the day in the city, brought the total up to $142. 000. or $42,000 in excess of Spokane's quota. Up to noon today more than $13,000 had been pledged from towns in Spo kane County and reports were coming in at a rate which exceeded each new figure estimated by those in charge. sua 1 r.-j 9 r i Piece Solid Oak Dining Set mil WHEN you think "Furniture." think Edwards.

CANNON ARE IMAGINARY Artillery Training Is Given With out Any Mechanical Equipment; Several Reserve Officers May Lose Their Commissions.. PRESIDIO. San Francisco, June 23. (Special.) The second month of train ing for reserve officers at the Preaidlo camp has begun with cavalry drilling as infantry and the field artillery ma neuvering sans guns, equipment, horses or instruments and studying sans text books. Within a week, however, the artil lery commands expect to be transferred to some place where there are real fa cilities for training. Where this will be has not yet been announced, but Fort Sill,, Okla.; Douglas, Aris., and Monterev. Cal.. have been mentioned. . It is amusing to see hundreds of young men with earnest mien galloping about stakes driven In the earth which they are told represent guns, limbers and caissons. ltn mucn care tney grasp imaginary rails and pull them selves "aboard" the "carriages," sit ting on air with arms folded across their chests and heads erect. Oc casionally a man is "called" for walk ing carelessly through the "gun" in stead of going around or simulating a climb over it. When there Is a shortage of stakes unoccupied members of the battery are I posted in the role of wheels. Captain William S. Wood, of the Sec ond Battery, lined his battery on the drill ground -the other day. to find to his surprise that during the night an entire gun and caisson had been dis mounted and made away with. The stakes later were found in the posi tion of an improvised gutter bridge which children had constructed. It will be a monumental Job to whip Into shape the human material with which the regular Army officers are working in less than two months re maining. With the batteries this is especially true, and the Army men are said to be a unit in admitting that the best which can possibly be done will be to drive home a superficial knowl edge, which will serve as the founda tion for many more months of study after commissions have been received. And commissions are not going to be sprinkled about generously. One battery of 18S men was told that If it was lucky 43 of Its number would land commissions at the end of the three months' work. It is generally considered here that many commissions awarded in the Re serve Corps prior to the opening of the camp will receive some revision as the result of the tryouts of the of ficers here, if it is only to retire the holders to the inactive reserve. Not all who have received commissions as field officers In the reserve on the strength of previous service, or pos sibly political Influence, have demon strated fitness for the positions in the Presidio workout. In the shakeup at the conclusion of the first month's training many sur prises were in store for candidates. For example, one Portland man who had applied for a commission in in fantry and who, when asked his pref erence of branches at the end of the first month of training had chosen in fantry or Coast artillery, found him self relegated to the field artillery, though he scarcely knew a horse from a mule. And his application for a transfer to Infantry or Coast artillery "disapproved" by the powers that be. He can but resign or shoulder the handicap. At least dozen men with commis sions in the infantry and cavalry have been assigned to field artillery, there being a need for artillerymen, though none for calvalrymen. Latest reports are that the cavalry will be dismounted and trained her precisely the same as infantry. nv w it i ullliM i Hill iTvtt ill .xn WORKS IN POISON OAK AND IVY WITHOUT FEAR fcfcrjTHE Laurel Hill Cemetery, of which p I am superintendent," writes J. II. Brummette, of Springfield, Or., "Is full of poison oak. I take It very easily. When I sent to you for a bottle of Santiseptic Lotion. I had had poison oak for about five months. I com menced using Santiseptic as soon as I got it and kept working in the poison oak. To all appearances, I am now en tirely cured, and, believe me. it cer tainly takes something to even help me. I had and have tried everything I or anybody else ever hear of. including all kinds of guaranteed remedies. Just sim ply time and money wasted. Santiseptic certainly did the work. I will recom mend H to everyone I can." Anyone who has ever experienced the tortures of poison oak or ivy will be grateful for the information that this extremely irritating annoyance Is no longer to be feared. The pain. Itching, fever and irritation disappear almost like magi a with a few applications of Santiseptic. Santlseptio heals and pre vents other skin Irritations, such as sunburn, chafing, fever and cold sores and Insect bites. It Is a remarkable soothing and healing lotion. Men use it after shaving and the women for the complexion and for baby's skin. Santiseptic is easily procured at most drug stores, a good-sized bottle costing but 50c If your druggist cannot supply it, 25 cents In stamps or coin sent to the manufacturers, the Esbeiicott labora tories, Portland, Or., will secure post paid large Introductory bottle.
