THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 8, 1919. BIG EXPORT BOARDS MAY BE ORGANIZED DEMOLISHED HOME OF JUDGE NOTT AND MAN BOMB WAS INTENDED TO "GET." 23 Let's All Dress Up for This Week's Activities the Rose Festival American Financiers and Pub lic Would Join in Move. PAYMENT OF DEBTS OBJECT Eclicmc Is Outlined, and Favored by Government, for Rehabilitat ing Economic World. "WASHINGTON, June ;-With a view to quieting the unrest in Europe by hastening a return to normal economic conditions, financial interests in New York, with the assistance of the fed eral reserve board, are considering formation of group export corporations for wool, copper, steel, tobacco and other Amercian products, similar to that organized to handle foreign sales of cotton. it is planned to give the group cor poration the backing of a central se curities corporation which would draw its funds from the investing public, furnishing perhaps hundreds of mill ions of dollars to finance the ship ment of raw materials to the countries lately at war, so that they may return to work and pay off their debts to this country. Government Approves Plan. Government officials believe that no more important project now is under consideration as a reconstruction meas ure, and point to the disturbed condi tions of the foreign exchange market as necessity for some action to end present abnormal conditions. Operations of the International Cot ton corporation will be watched close ly by bankers, and the results utilized in the organization of other group cor porations as may be needed; a great advantage in having a concern to han dle each material being that funds to start work can be raised in the section of the country most vitally interested in that particular industry. As initial funds of each corporation are exhausted by financing shipments abroad they would obtain additional money from the central securities cor poration, which would take as collat eral the European securities pledged to the group corporation and the obli gation of that corporation. Good Profit Seen. With such ample security and the possibility of offering' an attractive re turn, perhaps 6 per cent, it is believed the debentures offered by the central corporation to the public would find ready sale. It is planned that the cen tral corporation would be flexible in organization, starting with a small cap ital and enlarging as the export finan cing developed. Government credits to the allies now total approximately $9,310,000,000, leav ing only $690,000,000 of the amount authorized. That is too small, it is be lieved, to finance the exports needed, which is said to be another reason for the need of private initiative in solving the question of credits. The war finance corporation is said to be ready to take the obligations of the export corporations if the public does not, although the latter contingency is not expected.

Charitable Organizations Compiling Figures of War's Unloosening of Pursestrings of Mankind. XE WYORK. Indication of the world-wide generosity awakened by the war is given by preliminary reports of the British and American Red Cross. Young Men's Christian Association, the Order of St. John of Jerusalem and similar organizations, which, during the past four years, have done service in alleviating distress and which are now taking part in the work of reconstruc tion. A recent issue of London Truth, in commenting on the record of $75,000,000 war contributions to the Red Cross by the British people during the period from 1915 to 1918, inclusive, says "this must easily be a record collection for charitable purposes." Admitting that the amount does not equal that raised for the American Red Cross, the Truth observers that "the general total of volunteer giving for war purposes in England must have been something without precedent in that country s his tory." Thp 'Rritish nnnnlp if ia nnintpJ nut xk' ptp lavish in thoir nrivntp hn ff a f ' tions, no record of which was kept. The first two years of the war. for instance, it is said, individual Britons fed and clothed more than 300,000 Belgian refu gees and Belgian relief was only one of a wide diversity of objects which in cluded the rehabilitation of crippled soldiers, the Blue Cross for War Horses and numerous other charities. An in teresting feature of the work of the British Red Cross, shown in the pre liminary figures, is the low cost of ad ministration. In 1915 this cost was less than 3 per cent and it fell pro gressively until in 1918 it was about l?i per cent. Contributions to the American Red Cross from the date of the entry of the United States into the war, April 6, 1917, to the present, are roughly es timated at about $350,000,000. This amount was raised mainly in two dona tion "drives' which brought in $106, 000,000 and $180,000,000. respectively, and two membership "drives," in which 4,000.000 membership snignatures with minimum of $1 each (many were for much larger sums) were obtained. The cost of administration, it was stated by an official of the Atlantic division, was entirely defrayed by the Red Cross membership subscriptions and for every dollar contributed $1.02 was made available for actual relief by reason of bank interest. L. J Hunter, controller of the American Red Cross in Washington, is now at work on receipts and expenditures, it is said and is expected to make an official re port in June. Many millions of dollars already bad been raised for the Young Man's Chris tian Association, Knigts of Columbus, Jewish elfare board. War Camp Com munity Service, American Library asso ciation. Young Women's Christian As sociation and the Salvation Army when the united war work drive was under taken last winter. The subscriptions aggregated more than $200,000,000. Vast sums were raised in France, Italy, Japan. Russia and other coun tries, including neutral powers, for the "amelioration of human want and woe hen all the figures are compiled, a charities statistician estimates, it will be shown that the most devastating war of history unloosed mankind's pures strings in the most remarkable and prodigal manner. ALIEN'S WIFE BRINGS SUIT New York Woman Seeks Freedom From Husband. NEW YORK.

MOWRY'S OFFENSE PUBLIC Presbyterian Missionary Sentenced to Six Months Penal Servitude. PYEXG YANG, Corea. (Correspond ence of the Associated Press.) The full text of the judgment recently passed by the Pyeng Yang district court on Rev. E. M. Mowry, an American Pres byterian missionary of Mansfield. O., ' has been made public. Mr. Alowry was sentenced to six months penal servi tude for sheltering Corean agitators. The judgment says: "The accused, a pastor of the Ameri can Presbyterian mission and professor of the Sojitsu college at Pyeng Yang, established by the Presbyterian mis sion, became friends of and associated with three Corean students of the said college and two other Corean students of the Sojitsu middle school, also be longing to the American Presbyterian mission. "On March 1, 1919, the above-men tioned five students, in conspiracy with the Corean members of the Pres byterian church at Pyeng Yang, sup ported the movement aiming at the in dependence of Corea, started by Heiki and his compatriots, who held a meet ing of many Coreans, Christian believ ers an Corean students on the ground of the Sojitsu school on March 1. 'They read a declaration of the in dependence of Corea and distributed among the assemblage old flags of the former Corean empire and copies of the said declaration. Moreover, they made speeches explaining the object of their movement advocating the inde pendence of Corea, and they waved former Corean flags, shouting Man- sei: (Long live Corea.) Then they proceeded through the streets of Pyeng Yang. The five stu dents above mentioned, who were being searched for by the police, went to the accused. Rev. Mowry, and requested him to give them a shelter at his house in the hope that there they would not be arrested by the police. The accused, knowing the fact that the students were being traced by the police on ac count of their participation in the in dependence movement and the mob dis turbance, complied with their request, and gave them shelter during March 5 and April 4. thus violating the law." Mr. Mowry has appealed to higher courts and has retained -the services of well-known Japanese lawyer. SHORTER HOURS SOUGHT English Journalists to Ballot on Af filiation With Printers. LOXDON". At the annual, delegate meeting of the National Union of Jour nalists, a resolution was moved in structing the executive committee to take a ballot within three months on the question of affiliation with the Printing and Kindred Trades federa tion, and to proceed forthwith to effect an agreement if the ballot should au thorize such action. It was pointed out that what benefits they had gained in the past had been on the back of the Typographical society. It was agreed that there should be a three-fifths ma jority before the ballot became opera tive, and the original motion, thus amended, was adopted. On the subject of hours of labor, the following resolution was passed: "That it be an instruction to the national executive committee immediately to take action for securing shorter hours for journalists on the following basis: A 6even-hour day for day workers, a six-hour night for night workers, and a 5fl day week, of not more than 38fl hours, for day workers, and of not more than S3 hours for night workers."

OMSK'S WINTER BITTER AMERICANS SAY HUNDREDS OF PERSONS PERISHED OF COLD. Heaviest Clothing Gives but I-iittlc Protection, Vet in Spite of Weather, Much Is Done. VLADIVOSTOK. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Americans who spent the winter in Omsk, the head quarters of the Kolchak anti-bolshevik government, say the winter was the coldest in the history of western Si beria and caused great Buffering among hundreds of thousands of refugees from European Russia who have found tem porary shelter in Moscow and other fet berian centers. They eay that 500 persons "were frozen to death in Tomsk and that thousands suffered frozen feet and hands. The temperature often reached 57 to 60 degrees below zero. Fortun ately, little wind blew across the tseppes. but when the wind did blow the cold was intolerable. The stoutest fur coat could not stop it from penetrating to the marrow. As if by magic, the streets became de serted. Americans often had their cheeks and noses frozen and their hands, despite woolen gloves and mit tens, were always stiff and aching. Reckless exposure of the ears was ways dangerous, sometimes resulting in the lobes freezing and. falling off at the slightest touch. Despite the terrible cold, the visitor there feels buoyant and strong and usually feels like doing an extraor dinary amount of work. The exceeding dryness of the atmosphere, the Siberian said, is conducive to long life and sure cure for tuberculosis. Despite the rigors of the climate the peopl often live to be to or 90 years old. Neverthe less, the average American who had to spend the winter in the Omsk district, as did some of the assistants of John P. Stevens, the American engineer charge of the great Siberian railway suiiered severely. FISH FORECAST OPTIMISTIC Men Engaged in Cateliing Salmon in Columbia Number 55 0 0. ASTORIA, Or.. May 31.
