EMERGENCY FUND NEEDED Secretary or State Says $45,000 Appropriated Would Prove Enough In Normal Times. SALEM, Or., Nov. 13. (Special.) Acting upon requests from the secre tary of state, warden of the state penitentiary, superintendent of - the Oregon state Industrial school for .girls, and the secretary of the Oregon state board of control, Sam A. Koier, in charge of the state department, to day Issued a call for the state emer gency board to meet in Salem Novem ber TZ, to consider proposed deficiency appropriations aggregating J55.544.22. The secretary of state in behalf of his department has .prepared a state ment showing that the legislature at its 1919 session appropriated the sum of $45,000 for the purpose of defray ing the costs incident to compiling, editing and distributing election pamphlets and election supplies, ref erendum and candidates' petitions, purchasing paper and printing pri mary and general election supplies for the primary and general elections during the present biennium. "Ordinarily," said Mr. Kozer, "this amount had been adequate to meet all euch expenses and leave a substantial balance, but by reason of the unusual conditions during the current bien nium the cost of paper, printing and expenses generally has mounted to a sum far beyond the estimates of the requirements for these purposes." Appropriation Estimate $24,833. Mr. Kozer estimates in his request for a deficiency appropriation that $24.833.3 will be necessary to tide over his department until the legisla ture convenes in January, and authorizes the financial allotments for the ensuing two years. L. H. Comptjin, warden of the peni tentiary, in a statement filed with the secretary of state said approximately $ia00D would be necessary to insure the conduct of this Institution until the appropriations for the next bien nium become available. Figures pre sented by Wkrden Compton showed that there remained in the general maintenance rund of the prison only $796.70. or hardly half enough money to care for the institution during the present month. The warden also asks for $4350, with which to reinforce the prison flume, which is said to be In a dangerous condition at the present time. Glrl' School Asks K5O0O. The state industrial school for girls will ask a deficiency appropriation assregating $5000. t, Total expendi tures of this institution for the 20 months ending August 31, 1920, were $32,954.60, or a monthly average of $1647.73. according to a statement prepared by Mrs. Clara Patterson, su perintendent of the institution. The increased cost of fuel was declared ta be the most important factor in advancing the expenditures of this Institution. For the operation of the state board of control, R. B. Goodin, sec retary, has asked an appropriation of $1360.35. This request is based on th proposed expenditure of $1650 for r.omDlling, printing and mailing the biennial report and $2700 for salaries for four month. This total of $4350 will be partly offset by funds on hand from the last appropriation amount ing to $2989.65. and $4 for the desk instruments. In the residence district, on a two-party line, a wall telephone is now $2.50 and a desk $2.75. The company now requests that these be tilted $1 each. On four-party lines the company asks a 75-cent rise. One-party lines in the residence service are also elevated $1. Rate Loag Discussed. Telephone rates have been the sub ject of discussion for more than a year. For a time the company oper ated under the rate schedule of the postmaster-general, but the state pub lic service commission stepped In and cut this rate and ordered the telephone company to make a refund to sub scribers, which amounted to approxi mately $132,000. An investigation of the commission in 1919 caused that body to declare that the telephone company had not, during the period its rates had been subject to the Jurisdiction of the ' commission, re ceived such a return as courts and commissions have generally deemed adequate. .The telephone company makes its showing for increased rates on the strength of being handicapped for funds to maintain the present service; on' the disparity of rates between those now existing in Oregon and in neighboring states served by the com pany; by the costs which Jumped dur ing the war and remained high, and the lack of Interest yield. It asks for the public service commission to grant an early hearing and prompt investigation of the issues involved.

Thousands of refugees, panic stricken, fill the streets and wharves of Sebastopol. Ships of many na tions are hurriedly taking refugees aboard and the American Red Cross is loading its supplies. Rear-Admiral Newton. McCully,' commander of the Adriatic naval forces in Russian wat ers, will stay at Sebastopol until the last moment, with a small guard on the American destroyer Overton. The American colony has been taken aboard the Overton. It is reported that the bolshevikl have sent an ultimatum to General Wrangel demanding the unconditional eurrender of the "white" army. Twenty-five thousand bolshevik cavalrymen are reported . to have reached Simferopol. The - condition of the refugees is pitiful and they are suffering Indescribable misery. The number of refugees awaiting pas sage exceeds 50,000 men, women and children. . . The United States cruiser St. Louis sailed from Constantinople for Sebas topol this morning to take a full load of the refugees. Gravest fears now are felt for General Wrangel' army.

' General Baron Wrangel's situation in northern Crimea is said to be des perate. General Wrangel has telegraphed Major-Gen era I Charles V. Townshend, who commanded the British forces at Kut-el-Amara in 1915, asking him to take command of -Wrangel's forces in Crimea. General Townshend. is con sidering the matter. Reviewing the Crimean situation, a Moscow message says: "After fierce battles in which much booty was captured and after break ing through a number of fortified positions, the red troops are pene trating the Crimea.' The 2d cavalry corps is . already .advancing in the peninsula on a wide front; the enemy ier'retreating in disorder, blowing up military stores, burning food and re venging itself on the population."
