Session Agrees to Meet Competi

as May Be Xeccssary.
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial. While the Blue Funnel line., a
British steamship corporation, did not
actually join forces with the Pacific
westbound conference at the meet
ing here today and the representa
tives of Mitsui & Co. did return to the
fold, assurances were forthcoming
from the former concern which in
sures the stabilization of trans-Pacific
rates for some time to come.
The Blue Funnel line was not rep
resented in person at the confer
ence, but a letter was filed explain
ing that all the shipping concerns
controlled by Alfred Holt & Co., Ltd..
of London, were denied the privilege
of conforming to any alliances
throughout the world, but that it
was the policy of the Holt interests
to maintain a stabilized system of
rates In all sections of the globe, and
that such would be the practice of
the Blue Funnel line In this section
so long as no vessels Independent of
the conference entered the field and
cut rates.
Danger Believed Past.
The assurance of the Blue Funnel
line on this score was greeted with
more or less optimism by the mem
bers after the trans-Pacific confer
ence. It being accepted as an indica
tion that there was no danger of a
general cutting of rates-on the part
of that company in this particular
line of trade. i
The assurance from this line, how
ever, does not eliminate the possi
bility of a rate war. At least, such
is the view of a number of members
of the conference, who say tramp
lines, whether British, Japanese or
French, continue to present a menace
to the creation of anything like a
regularly stabilized rate in trans
Pacific commerce.
Government Help Proposed.
This threat to the maintenance of
stabilized conditions on the Pacific
is added to' because of the general
use of the Panama canal by all na
tions, thus affording the. one point of
menace most threatening, in the view
of the members of the conference.
The members of the conference op
crating shipping board vessels, with
the consent and acquiescence of the
foreign lines represented, took the
fetand that an appeal should be made
to the United States shipping board
for -permission to meet any rate set
by a foreign ship or line not in the
conference at any time in the future,
and upon the consent of the shipping
board to such action, the foreign
lines represented in the conference
to be so notified.
The action carried out the spirit of
the conference, which was in the na
ture of a co-operative alliance, it
being deemed necessary- in order to
assure a stabilization of rates which
would otherwise create a chaotic
condition, such as would be certain
In the event of a general rate war
in Pacific commerce.

Largo Retailers Purchase Their
Thanksgiving Stocks Direct
' From Growcsr or Shippers.
Turkeys were selling in the retail
stores yesterday at 65 to 60 cents, and
the dealers believe these prices will
hold until Thanksgiving.
There were large express - eceipts
,in Front street, but most of the ar-
rivals went to fill out-of-town orders
previously received. The large re
tailers have purchased their supplies
direct from growers or country ship
pers, and the others will buy their
turkeys from the supply that comes
on the wholesale market today and
Monday.
The dealers believe there will "e
enough birds on hand to supply all
comers and they do not look for any
surplus.
Heavy late receipts, however, may
break the market.
SVLEM Or., Nov. 20. (Special.)
Fewer turkeys are being shipped for
Marion county for the Thanksgiving
trade this year than ever before, ac
cording to local dealers who are pur
chasing birds for the outsici markets.
Only scattered shipments were as
sembled yesterday and today, for
which the growers received approxi
mately 45 cents a pound.
ROSEBURG, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.)
Turkey consignments were small
here today, with very little activity.
The market remained steady at 46
cents, j It Is estimated that not more
than 4000 birds were shipped out of
the county for the Thanksgiving
trade.
NEW ORLEANS HAS BLAZE
WaterTront Loss Estimated

NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 20. The
loss involved by a river front fire
here today will be at least $2,500,000
and may be $4,000,000, according to a
statement issued tonight. The blaze
consumed 2000 feet of wharfage in
the downtown section.
Sparks from a switch engine are
believed to have started the blaze
which destroyed a new banana wharf,
eight box cars filled with government

line, and vast quantities of export
goods.

CONTRACT PLOT IS CHARGED
Witness Tells of Men Who
Helped Distribute $40,000.
JOB HOLDERS IMPLICATED
Wallace Downey Company of Sen
v York Was ITirm Favored,
Is Testimony.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Charges that
R. W. Boiling, brother-in-law of Pres
ident Wilson and treasurer of the
shipping board, participated in the
distribution of $40,000 alleged to have
been given by a shipbuilding company
for assistance in obtaining a ship
building contract, were contained in
testimony today before the Walsh in
vestigating committee.
The money, it was charged by Tuck
er K. Sands, former official of the
Commercial National bank In Wash
ington, and alleged go-between, was
given by the Wallace Downey Ship
building company of Staten Island.
Others, he alleged, participated, in
cluding Lester Sisler, former secretary
of the shipping board, and John Cran
or. said to have been interested as a
representative of the Downey com
pany in shipping board contracts. Mr.
Sards' ' replies to questions proved
contradictory at times.
He charged there was an under
standing that $15,000 was to go to
Cranor and that the remaining $25,000
was to be divided among Cranor,
Boiling and Sisler and himself. He
at first said 'he knew neither Mr.
Boiling nor Mr. Sisler had anything
to do with the board's contrast and
that he did not believe Mr. Boiling
received any of the money.
tlSOO Given Boiling.
Later he testified he gave Boiling
$1800 in the nature of a loan, but
that Boiling paid back $300 and that
he had taken no note from the treas
urer. Afterward he Bald the $1800 was
a "part payment to Mr. Boiling for
his share" and that he carried it
as a loan as he "did not think it
would 'look right."
"Don't you know, as a matter of
fact, that this payrrfent had nothing
whatever to do with the shipping
board?" Chairman Walsh asked.
"I can't say; I always thought it
had," replied the witness.
Sands testified he received the
money in the form of "notes," some
of which he discounted, and described
payments to Boiling and Sisler as
both "payments" and "loans."
He also asserted the money was 'to
be understood as a commission to him
for securing a loan from the bank to
the shipbuilding company, with which
the witness was connected.
Reporter Telia of Affidavit.
The testimony of Sands was pre
ceded' by that of A. W. McCann, a re
porter, who' swore he had gotten from
Sands an affidavit detailing the tran
saction. McCann testified 'that when
he took the affidavit to Sands to sign
he declined to on advice of his attor
ney. Previous to submitting the affida
vit, however. McCann said he had
taken it to the shipping board and
had it protostateo. one copy car
rying notations in what was testified
to- be Sands' handwriting and which
Sands testified to being correct, ex
cept that "some of the facts may be a
little different," was presented by Mc
Cann in evidence. The document, how
ever, was not made a part of thi
stenographer's minutes.
Sands said he did not think Boiling

Animals at City Pound to Be Made
Happy by Unnamed Port
land Lady Bountiful.
A big Thanksgiving-day feed for
the dogs, cats and goats at the city
pound is being arranged by Mrs. F.
W. Swanton of the Oregon Humane
society, abd the menu will be sup
plied by "a very wealthy Portland
woman, whose grief over the loss of
a pet collie is thus to be assuaged,
to a degree," according to announce
ment. For the dogs there will he one pint
to each of Jersey milk, fresh from
the dairy; next will follow a delicious
stew of beef and chicken with rice,
an-d for the third and last course
there will be one cookie and one piece
of chocolate candy per canine. No
finger bowls will be provided and
toothpicks are taboo.
And the cats they will have crab
meet and shrimp, the best the mar
ket affords, topped off with rich
cream, direct from the ranch. "
Now for the goats, two of which
have recently wandered in. having,
Mrs. Swanton believes, heard, in some
mysterious manner, of the big "feed1
that is coming on Thanksgiving day.
Well, the dogs and the cats are not
going to have anything on the goats,
for Mrs. Swanton said last night she
was going to ask Mayor Baker and
Otto J. Kraemer, president of the
Humane society, to solicit business
men of the city for their choicest last
summer hats, some out-of-gear um
brellas and perhaps other delicacies
upon which the nannies may feast.
Doors will be open to the public at
9:30 A. M.' Thanksgiving day. Tables
will be set and members of the four-
footed tribes will take their seats
promptly at 10 o'clock. All have been
told to primp up and look their best

THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, Nov. 20. Figures re
leased today by the federal trade
commission in response to a re
quest of President Wilson are expect
ed to cause quick action when con
gress convenes with a view of stop
ping the heavy influx of Canadian
wheat and wheat products.
The report is the result of an in
quiry by the commission to determine
the cause of the recent radical de
cline in wheat prices, which many
northwest wheat growers declare is
driving them into bankruptcy. The
figures, gathered through customs
sources, indicate a decided increase
in the importation of wheat flour
during the second half of October,
1920, which was the beginning of the
present slump of which wheat farm
ers complain. The importation ot
wheat also is shown to have been
relatively large for. the same period.
Wheat flour imports from Canada
during the period October 15 to 31
aggregated 97,032 barrels, an increase
of the latter half of the month over
the first half of 31,086 barrels. The
total Imports for October, 1920, were
considerably in excess of those of any
month during the period from Janu
ary, 1913. to September, 1920, the
highest single -monthly importations
during this period being in September,
1917, when 108,288 barrels of wheat
flour were imported.
Wheat Imports from Canada into
the United States during the period
October 15 to 31 totaled 4.833,624
bushels, or a total for the month of
9,784,307 bushels. The largest single
monthly importation during the pe

SERVICE MEANS SACRIFICE
Commission Taken Out
Of
Sense of Public Duty.
OB CARRIES NO SALARY
Successor to Mr. Benson Is AVell
Known for Devotion to Good
Roads; Previous Service Cited.
John B. Teon of Portland has ac
cepted appointment as a member of
the state highway commission, to fill
the vacancy caused by the' reslgna
tion or Simon Benson. Mr. Yeon did
not make his decision until last night.
atter he had considered the matter
from all angles. He consented to
serve out of a sense of public duty
and at the Instance of Governor Ol
cott and good roads enthusiast from
all sections of Oregon. The position
carries no salary.
Upon the receipt of Mr. Benson's
resignation Governor Olcott asked
Mr. Teon to fill the vacancy and Mr,
Yeon promptly refused, notwithstand-
ng the governor's request was sup
plemented by the urglngs of promt
nent citizens. Mr. Yeon declared he
had neglected his busin.ss and home
for years -while building the Colum
bia River highway and felt that he
had performed his share of public
service.
Hammer Also Declines.
Then a telegram was sent to E. V.
Hauser, who was in St. Paul, inquir
lng if he would accept. Mr. Hauser
declined. A number of citizens were
considered but preference always re
turned to Mr. Yeon, and for several
days he has been subjected to the
strongest possible pressure to recon
sider his action, change his mind and
accept. Last evening he yielded.
"Tour earnest, deiotioa.'io -the cause
of good roads, Governor Olcott wrote
Mr. Yeon, "your deep knowledge of
the subject and all-around qualifica
tions for such work make you, in my
mind, the ideal selection on the com
mission to succeed Mr. Benson and
carry on the work which he has so
splendidly fathered as a commissioner
from Multnomah county.
Road Programme Vital.
"It is one of the most essential
things confronting us at this time;
in fact, probablr the most essential,
that our road programme go ahead to
a successful conclusion. I will eay
frankly to you that during my term
of office as governor I never had a
more important appointment to make
than this and have never so keenly
felt the need of a man as I feel the
need now for you to come to my sup
port in this Important undertaking.
"It is a thing vitally affecting all
the people of the state and the road
work is the biggest card in our deck.
It has simmered down to the ques
tion of my merely not allowing you
to refuse to accept this appointment.
You must do it for the sake of the
state of Oregon and the immense
things which are at stake."
Yeon's Comment Brief.
Mr. Yeon had little comment to
make on his acceptance.
"I served Multnomah county four
years as roadmaster and for one
year served the government, and I
figured that as a citizen I had done
about all that could be expected. But
I have the development of Oregon
at heart. Nobody wants to make the
sacrifice to keep the thing going and
pressure is the only reason I have
surrendered to.

Entrants at Horse Show Profit
$8000 in Cash Premiums, Mak
ing Grand Total $80,000.
Approximately $72,000 in prize money
was distributed among the stock
breeders of the northwest yesterday
at the Pacific International Livestock
exposition, where a crowd swarmed
all day long before the window where
the awards were being paid.
Many drew amounts ranging: into
hundreds of dollars, while others, less
fortunate, but none the less happy,
drew much smaller sums.
Perhaps no individual record for
prize winnings approached that of
A. B. Cook of Townsend, Mont., who
won in the neighborhood of $1500 on
his Herefdrds.
Edward Coles of Haines, Or., re
ceived more than $600 in prizes on
carload lots of fat steers and the
Congdon & Battles exhibits of Aber
deen-Angus drew heavily in prize
money.
But to the breeders themselves the
prize awards in cash were secondary
to the honor of winning In the Pa
cific International. Heavy expenses
of transportation and feed and, loss
of time cut down the amounts re
ceived by even the most fortunate.
Great quantities of hay and grain
from Portland supply houses were
consumed, and, with personal ex
penses, probably brought to Portland
several times the amount of money
distributed among the- breeders of
the northwest.
In addition to the awards paid to
livestock exhlibtors, $8000 was given
to horse show entrants, making the
total of awards at the exposition this
year $80,000.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL.
LEGE. Corvallis, Nov. 20. (Special.)
This well-known and popular com
monwealth will have to worrjr, along
through the next 12 months without
the luxury of a football champion.
On a field soggy under Its veneer of
wet sawdust, slippery, slimy, oozy,
swampy, Oregon Agricultural col
lege and the University of Oregon
here this afternoon battled through
four- fierce quarters to a scoreless
tie.
The final score stood nothing-all.
But in that torrid last quarter, when
everything In the world seemed to
rise up and happen. Just before Its
end. the Aggies came within one
short foot of making it one touch
down to nothing in their favor.
Just four minutes before th. end
of the game there c:-me the break.
Chapman for Oregon had just hit
rlfcht tackle for ten yards on the
first play after an Aggie punt.
Then an Aggie backtleid man fum
bled. The ball went to Oregon Agri
cultural college in a free-for-all
scramble on Oregon's 45-yard line.
There and then events began to pile
up so fast that the hearts of 13,000
madly partisan spectators almost
ceased to throb.
On the very first play Oregon was
ortsiae and suffered a penalty of five
yards. This put the ball on the Ore
gon 40-yard line.
Kaabereer Smites Tackle.
- Kasberger, the Aggie fullback,
smote right tackle for two yards.
On the next play he shot a forward
pass for 20 yards into Wee Hugh Mc
