THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 1, 1920 Hi PARTISAN Gil -IMS FAGHF 1 B FOREIGN BUYERS BOISE. Idaho, Jan. 31. (Special.) One of the most conspicuous devel opments in political circles in Idaho during the past week was the formal call issued by John Thomas, chair man of the Republican state central com11 ittee, to convene the committee here February 11 to set the time an Place for the holding of the repu lican state convention which will name Idaho s delegates to the national I convention at Chicago June and to decide on the manner in which dele gates from counties in the state con vention will be apportioned. The fo nial announcement was also made that the on-Partisan league has ordere a shakeup among its leaders and ad vlsers and that W. G. Scholtz, for th past two years active in directing its affairs, has been retired under the guise of a resignation. It is also made clear that he can no . longer dictate the policies of the league' daily paper, the Free Press. The fight on Scholtz has been of long standing. There has been active minority determined to ous him. It has at last obtained his resignation and a meeting of the stockholders of the publishing com pany has been called for February to discuss the policy to be followed. The formal call for this meeting to stockholders severely criticises the management of the league paper by Scholtz, the editorial policy and fail ur to take a vigorous stand league issues. It Is announced Scholtz will enter the lumber business. Policy Is Disappointing. "Mr. Scholtz," said the statemen of the minority stockholders, "has resigned as manager of the Free Press, and the present board of direc tors has secured the services of W. V. Wiegand of Pocatello to assume the management We regret to state that the policy that has been fol lowed during the past six months has been a very great disappointment to us, but as minority members of th board of directors, we have been un able to secure a change. We feel that the paper as a news medium has been far from satisfactory, and editorially has not stood for th things intended by the stockholders when the paper was organized." While the leaguers are quarrelin the republicans are looking forward to the big combined harmony gath ering In early February, starting with the meeting of the legislature in ex tra session on February 11 and fin ishing with the meeting of the state committee and the Lincoln banquet on February 12. Three Methods Proposed. There are three methods open to the committee to determine the man tier in which the delegates to the state convention shall be named. The first of these is through party caucus. The second Is through a direct pri mary and the third by leaving their selection entirely to the executive committee of the county central com mittees. Until the primary election can be held in the respective coun ties, the law provides that the pow ers and duties of the county com mittees shall be exercised by the present state and county committees of the respective political parties now in existence. It Is likely that in most counties the county commit tees will name the delegates if the state, committee decides to give them power. Secretary of State Jones has put into operation other election ma chinery as required by law and has just certified to the various county- auditors the delegates apportioned from counties to hold seats In the state conventions next fall which will nominate the candidates for congres sional and state offices. I CATHOLIC CHURCH THREATENS CAPTAIN PACJj PERIGORD. French War Hero and Former Priest Determined to Wed Young Woman of Pasadena. Word that Captain Paul Pcrigord. conspicuous war hero, French high commissioner, officer of the French army and for a year past an instruc or at Throop college of technology in Pasadena, has been threatened with excommunication from the Roman Catholic church because of his deter mination to marry Miss .Emily Mc Bride of Pasadena is of interest to many Portland people who met Cap tain Perl cord when he visited this city in 1918. The excommunication question has arisen because Captain Perigord was ordained as a Catholic priest, and the dictum of the church officials is: "Once a priest, always a priest." How ever, Captain Perigord defends his action by saying that he voluntarily severed his connection with the church during the war because of honest intellectual differences. Arch bishop Dowling of St. Paul is report ed as saying that no priest volunta rily can quit the church. Captain Perigord toured the United States in 1918 under the auspices of the National Council of Defense. He spoke at the public auditorium in Portland under the auspices of the Oregon State Council of Defense at a time when a state conference was in session.

He is survived by his widow, who is a resident of Portland; by his mother, Mary Fox, Te nino. Wash., and Miss Frances Fox of Seattle, and one brother, Joseph Fox of Seattle. by Charles McKinley, instructor in politics at Reed college, in speaking before the Oregon Civic league at Its regular weekly luncheon yesterday noon. Mr. McKinley had for his topic. "The Special Significance of the Special Session of the Legislature." Among changes which he urged were the publication of a dally legislative journal showing the work accom plished each day; compulsory advance notice of one week for each bill and holding of public meetings by the committee to which the bill Is re ferred during that week, and com pulsory recording to votes of commit tees on considering bills and recom mending, them to the house or senate. Rev. Edward Constant was the sec ond speaker of the day and urged support by the Civic league members of the campaign to provide funds for the relief of Armenia and the near east. ORTLANP NAVY LAD DIES Delmond R. Rail Succumbs to Pneumonia at Goat Island. News was received in Portland yes terday of the death by pneumonia of Delmond Raymond Rail, Portland boy and a former student at the Ben son Polytechnic school, who recently joined the navy and was stationed at Goat island.

Life was an exciting gamble for visiting Americans this week, for the bottom dropped out of the mark, but was followed by a sharp recovery. For just a few hours Americans her could sell dollars for 100 marks. The lucky chaps who picked the psy chological moment could buy 200 glasses of beer for $1. a bottle of champagne for 40 cents and a bottle of Rhine wine for 15 cents. A table d'hote luncheon at a flrst-class restau rant cost a quarter; a box at the grand opera, 30 cents; a suit of good clothes, tailored to measure, $10-. For $10,000 in hand you could have become a German millionaire or have bought a palace. A street car ride cost 3 mills; a newspaper, one-half a mill; cigars from 1 cent up. Many Long Faces Appear. The frenzied finance flurry saw many long faces on Americans after ward, for they had either excessive confidence in German marks too early in the game and sold their dollars when marks were much higher, or else had lost their nerve when the mark touched a hundred for a dollar and held off expecting the mark to go still lower. Many visitors are developing the same symptoms over the rates of exchange as the lambs display who stick to the stock ticker at home. A curious effect of the slump In the mark was that many jewelry shops closed up for two days and refused to sell anything until they saw where the mark was going to land and could boost the prices of Jewelry accord ingly. Another curious feature is that many Germans show signs of bitter resentment against Americans an other foreigners with sound mone because they are able to buy so much chaper than Germans. Some store keepers began to regard foreign pur chasers as if they were plunderers or highway robbers or cut to steal the pennies from blind beggars. Cost of Living Jumping. For Germans the cost of living has been jumping on one thing after an other until prices have gone up 60 per cent on the average. Soap has just gone up 300 per cent. A three ounce cake of toilet soap costs four marks. Freight rates will shortly be increased 100 per cent and an increase In passenger rates unknown as yet. will soon follow. Postage, telegraph and telephone rates must soon be boosted again. "Germany is being bought out" is a phrase on most German lips. Public opinion is beginning to be aroused by reports of large, real estate pur chases by foreign interests, parti cularly by Dutch capitalists and speculators, who recently bought whole blocks of houses in Berlin.
