18 ' THE SUNDAY OREGONTAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 9. 1921 LEUE IS ASSAILED AS WORLD WRECKER Plot to Unite and Rule Social ists Denounced. POWER TO BE CONTESTED INTERESTING IN DIAN STATUE TO BE GIFT TO NEW YOlK STATE Fourth Internationale Is Proposed to Break Moscow Autocracy and Set Vp "ew Party. P4.RIS Jan. t. Lenlne's attempt to rule and unite the socialists of the world and control their policies through the third Internationale of Moscow is to be contested by the .n. nr faction, of socialists. This party occupies a middle position between the extreme nsin., m erate faction, of socialists and the extreme left, or radical faction. It was in order to organise their forces Into a fourth Internationale that a meeting- of the centrist socialise i the world has been called in Vienna cn FeBruary 22. next. The center aocialista are dissatis fied with both the second Internation ale and the third Internationale of Lenine. leaders of that faction say. Lenlne Splitting Force Joseph Gollomb. who claims to have represented the socialist party of America at a meeting in Berne. Switx erland, December 6, which called a meeting at Vienna next February to form the proposed fourth Interna tionale, declares that the socialists of the world have become Impatient at the conduct of Lenlne's third Inter nationale of Moscow. The Russian organization, he declares, "is devoting itself chiefly to splitting the forces of socialism and of the workers." "Dominated by the chiefs of the communist party of Itussla," Gollomb alleges, "th third internatlonale is trying to force on other countries a programme, temper and tactics which, whether good for Russia or not, takes no account of differences of condi tions throughout the world. Hatred I Being Planted. "Those socialists who do not accept to the letter their ukases are de nounced as traitors. The third in ternatlonale is splitting socialist par ties in every country, discarding whole masses of -workers whose fi and by dividing the trade union move ment sows hatred between worker delity to socialism has been proved and worker." Gollomb contends that both the second Internationale, which existed before the world war, and the third Internationale are "mainly negative In character and effect." The mem bers of the second internatlonale, he says, "have so limited, compromised and forgotten the principles of so cialism that there is nothing left of them. As the conference at Berne pointed out, they abandoned the work ers during the war and by partici pating in capitalist cabinets and coalitions they have bent all their energies toward patching the present system instead of building a new one. socialists want an aaequate inter national organization to marshal ail their forces and carry out a positive upbuilding programme. At present there is no satisfactory organiza tion." Socialism Held Constructive. Gollomb declares that fundament ally socialism is a constructive move ment and that the negative attitude of the second and third Internationale does not meet their need today and the result has been general dissatis faction with both of them. He asserts that more than 8.500.000 voting so cialists were represented at the Berne conference which has called the meet ing in Vienna and that most of the delegates at Berne have been repre sentative figures in international so cialism for years. The delegates of the socialist party Of America were delayed in arriving, but Gollomb says the party had de clared itself officially in favor of the action taken at Berne. The German independents were represented by Ledebour, Crispien and others, while Jean Longuet and Paul Faure repre sented the socialists of France. So cialists of Austria and Switzerland slso were represented at Berne. 'The possible formation of a fourth Internationale is a matter for the Vienna congress to decide." adds 9ffnBBBBBBBBBBQHBssBflBBT SWsSSSSSSMSMBnBflnsl BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSBBBSV 'BSBbBB&&&BKBK obbSbsbbbbbBHhbb i'i'i. x''tif .

News to the effect that his latest work, an Indian statue, will soon be erected at Saratoga park, in the vicin ity of Saratoga Springs. N. T., was re ceived recently by A. Phimlster Proc tor, famous sculptor and delineator of western types, who is staying a short time In the city. The statue will be given the state of New York by George D. Pratt, conservation com missioner of that state, and will be erected near the mineral springs of Saratoga, which were much frequent ed by eastern tribes in early New York history. Big Beaver, chief of one or the Blackfoot tribes of northwestern Montana, served as Mr. Proctor's model for the statue. The statue will be placed against a hillside, near a pool of water, and the Indian is seen in the" position of slaking his thirst, one hand extended, and in a kneel ing posture. A mountain streamlet has been di verted from Its course, and. runnfng through the statue and down a tube in the arm, eventually drips from the Indian's hand.

Brown, clerk of the state land board, following re ceipt of a letter from Edmond L. Humphreys of Portland, who sought to ascertain If Spanish-American war veterans had the same rights under the preference ruling as persons who served in the more recent conflict.

American Samoa, far out in the south Pacific, is settling down to equatorial -peace-fulness, its bubble of "committee" government having burst after sev eral months of inflation, according to mail advices received here from Tutuila. The United States steamship Kan sas, with Admiral Charles Hughes, has left Tutuila for Hilo, Hawaii, car rying two naval officers who were adjudged responsible for instilling unrest among Samoans and encourag ing formation of an organization of native chiefs to supplant the rule of the late Governor Terhune. Five months of turmoil ended No vember 30, when Arthur A. Greene, American citizen, was deported and left for Honolulu; Lieutenant Commander Creed H. Boucher court martialed and placed under arrest on the battleship Kansas: Commander A. Kail, acting governor, adjudged guilty of misdirected zeal and taken aboard the battleship, and Captain Waldo Evans, a new governor, in stalled and started conferences with the native leaders to restore the old time harmony. Memorial Fund Started. The tragedy of the affair was the suicide of Commander Warren J. Terhune, governor, against whom the conspiracy was directed and who ended his life just before the start of the inquiry which absolved him. Tribute to his administration is paid by the enlisted men of the naval sta tion who have presented a fund to the widow to build a memorial for their unjustly accused commander. Testimony of the court of inquiry received here reveals the strange course of affairs in the mid-Pacific group of islands. Lieutenant-Commander Boucher reached American Samoa May 3 After 85 days' service. of which were spent in suspension for three . offenses, he was detached by Governor Terhune, on approval from Washington, and proceeded to Mare island. California. Boucher filed charges with the navy department against Governor Terhune and offi cers, naval and civil, of the island's administration, citing maladministra tion. Incompetence, misappropriation funds and abuse of the natives. Arthur A. Greene arrived in Samoa last April. Commander A. C. Kail ar rived there In September. Both we're instrumental, with Boucher, In press ing charges against Terhune. Com mander Kail, captain of the yard under Terhune, sought to have the medical officer of the station declare the governor insane. Kail attempted to send a wireless to the navy de partment that Governor Terhune was Insane, and a copy of this message was found in the room in which the commander ended his life. Unrest Gnlns Footing. Conditions in July revealed unrest of the natives, in frequent stone- fights with the sailors. This unrest. with the charges by'Boucher and the counter charges by Terhune. resulted in the sending of the battleship Kan sas to Samoa, with a board of inquiry under Admiral Hughes and Captain Waldo Evans, the latter designated as new governor. Two days before the arrival of the battleship, November 3, Governor Tgrhune shot himself. Commander Kail, assuming the position of acting governor, started a sweeping chantre of administration, suspending the courts, closing the medical institu tions and suspending medical officers Five days later the Inquiry opened It proved all statements and charges by Boucher and Kaii without founda tion, and indicated Boucher had sought to become governor and name Greene secretary for native affairs. Boucher from the midst of the inquiry was changed from the status of an in terested party to defendant, and upon its close held for courtmartial on 26 charges by order of Secretary Daniels. Governor Evans, at the close of the inquiry, called the discontented native governors and chiefs together, and as the steamer and battleship were carrying away the deported citizen and the naval officers responsible for the unrest, started undoing the "com mitte form of government," which Greene and Boucher were charged with having sought to educate the natives up to. Plsgah home for the aged yesterday concluded a most successful drive for funds. about $6000 being raised through the sale of tags. Headquar ters of the campaign were estab lished at the Portland hotel, and throughout the day reports from workers were being received by Mrs. Robert L. Russel, chairman of the campaign committee of the home. About 60 aged men and women are residents of the home, said Mrs. Russel, and they are supported through the charity of Portland cit izens. The place is situated at vsood mere, a station on the Mount Scott line. This is the second drive for funds within the last year, the first having been held a few days before the hol iday season. However, because of the heavy rains prevailing the tag sale' was stopped within an hour and drive leaders waited for a more auspicious occasion. Members of the Girls' Reserve of the Glencoe school, selling tags at the courthouse, were very successful. Mrs. Walter D. McWalters is treas urer of all funds collected.

Advocates of an inaugural ball have been digging deep into .the history of such oc casions, and perhaps they have found sufficient justification for the revival of this historic event in the lesson of what happened when Andrew Jackson undertook to substitute a reception for the ball. "Old Hickory" was fond of upsetting state customs and he banned the Inaugural ball. A reception after the inauguration was the alternative, with a near-riot as the result And it begins to look like the his toric ball In all of Its splendor, Is to signalize the inauguration ' of President Harding and Vice-President Coolidge, notwithstanding the well-known inclinations of the next president and vice-president toward the simplicity of other days. It is an nounced that letters have been re ceived from all parts of the United States at the headquarters of the in augural committee, requesting that tickets be reserved. Automobiles Replace Hacks, Washington people are manifesting the keenest interest in the plans for an event abandoned at the last two Inaugurations. Citizens' committees are arranging the details so that all the new president and "first lady" will have to do will be to appear at the state! hour and lead the grand march. The mile-long string of hacks will be missing and automo biles in large numbers will supplant the old horse-drawn vehicles, wnich always have been a feature of other similar occasions. The possibility of the revival of the inaugural bail has set the historians to work, with the result of produc ing some interesting reminiscences of other inaugurations. It is found that perhaps the most striking incident oc curred in connection with the inaug uration of Zachary Taylor in 1849. President Taylor was a whig and whig leaders, acting on the theory that "to the victors belong the spoils," decided on an all-whig in augural ball. A whig committee of managers was appointed and this committee named a committee to have charge of the ball. An ad vertisement printed in the National Intelligencer and signed by "one of the Managers," explained that the whigs" believed that as the whigs elected Taylor, the whigs should have the honor of managing the inaugural ball. Lincoln on Both Committees. Another board of managers was formed and announced a "National inaugural ball, irrespective of party," and also advertised a committee. The advertisements of the rival "man agers" appeared side by side, but tho singular fact was that both commit tees contained the names of A. Lin coln, afterward martyr president of the United States; Colonel Robert E Lee and Colonel Joseph E. Johnston, later known In history as Confed erate leaders who fought against Lincoln and the Union. Three balls were held inauguration night. The whigs held forth !i special dancing pavilion erected at the city hall. The national inaugural ball was held at Jackson hall, and third ball, arranged in honor of the visiting military companies, was held at carusi s. On the occasion of George Wash ington's inauguration in New York the president's levee was held, which was the forerunner of the inaugural ball. This was on May 7. 1789. From a feminine point of view, the real levee was that held by Mrs. Wash ington on Friday, May 29. which may be said to marK tne actual founding of society. Adams Bnll Magnificent. John Adams' inauguration in 1797 was marked by a magnificent inaug ural ball, hsld in the amphitheater at Philadelphia on the night of March 4. Jefferson refused to permit an in augural ball. There was. then no mistress of the White House. Mrs. Doljy Madison, wife of the future president of the United States, acted as the hostess when there was need of such a figure in offical entertain ments. The Inaugural ball was revived at the inauguration of James Madison, at which time Dolly Madison became "first lady" in her own right. It was she who really began the making of social history in the national capi tal. As a result, her name lives in history with the names of the pres idents. Inaugural balls also were held at both inaugurations of Pres ident Monroe. John Quincy Adams' inauguration was marked by most brilliant festiv ities. Mrs. Adams' many residences in foreign capitals had equipped her to take the leadership of society in America. "Old Hickory" Jackson, as has been noted, barred the inaugural ball, but held a reception which almost re sulted In a riot. The crowd filled the White House and practically wrecked several rooms. Death Blights Two Events. The brilliant Taylor inaugural was followed by more simple ceremonies for President Millard Fillmore, called to the presidency by death. The shadow of death also prevented an in augural ball when Franklin Pierce took office, but the event came back again when James Buchanan was In augurated . A "union ball" with the south un represented, marked Lincoln's first inauguration, but the inaugural ball returned in all its glory at the first Grant inaugural. Civil war heroes in their uniform were the feature of the occasion. The Hayes inaugural ball was brilliant. After the assassination of President Garfield, President Arthur assumed office quietly. The Inaug ural balls of both Cleveland admini strations were splendid affairs, his sister. Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, pre siding at the first, and his wife, a White House bride, at the second. The Benjamin Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt inaugural balls were notable events, as was that of Presi dent Taft. -Several innovations are promised for the Harding inaugural. It is probable that a marine band of 80 pieces will alternate with a string orchestra of 125 pieces, and several concert numbers are planned with a chorift of several hundred of the best voices in the country.

Determined Effort to Be Made to Obtain Amendments to Ex isting haws. At a meeting of the executive board of the Oregon chapter of American Association of Engineers, held In the Tilford building headquarters yesterday afternoon. engineering features and their relation to the session of the Oregon legislature formed the principal topic for dis cussion. The services of the engi neers in technical matters regarding so-called antiquated statutes which they wish revised and brought down to date, were offered and it was an nounced that a determined effort will be made to obtain amendments to some existing laws. Percy Cupper, state engineer and chairman of the legislative com mittee of the Portland chapter, was the chief speaker. He presented data concerning proposed amendments The secretary was Instructed to send word to the promoters of the 1925 exposition, to be held in Port land, offering the services of the engineers and calling attention to the fact that there are engineers in Ore gon thoroughly capable of serving the board in the engineering problems that will come before the members. President-Elect Hardihg will be notified at once of the adoption of a resolution, urging him to appoint some western man to the position of secretary of the Inte.-ior. A special committee was named to investigate Panama canal tolls, with the idea of exempting coastwise shipping from payment of tolls or coastwise ship ping for an equal amount. A resolution was adopted, favoring the appointment of an engineer oo the Interstate commerce commission and the name of J. P. Newell of Port land was mentioned In this connec tion. W. A. Hanscomb, assistant engineer of the port of Astoria, was present in the interest of the engi neers of Clatsop county.

It alleges that it understands it is the purpose of the irrigation district to enlarge and line the canal of the Hanford Irrigation & Power company and then to construct a higher, or "first level." canal, from which it is proposed ultimately to pump water to a third canal to water a third unit. Those who are in touch with the project, which would follow the Columbia river across the entire north boundary of Benton county, ex tending from Priest rapids through to White Bluffs and Hanford toward Richland, allege that the irrigation district has been formed in the ex pectation that the General Electric company, which Is said to own the power right and dam site at Priest rapids, will be compelled by the court to construct serviceable canals and deliver an adequate supply of water to the old Hanford irrigation district, on account of prior obligations that were assumed by the General Electric company w.hen it obtained the Priest rapids rigl)ts. Complete Abolishment to Commis sion of Appeals Never Favored, Board Member Says. That he had never been in favor of a complete abolishment of the teach ers' commission of appeals, but that he had been driven to the support of the present proposed change in the teachers' tenure law by the uncom promising attitude of the teachers themselves, was the declaration of George B. Thomas, member of the school board, in outlining his position yesterday. He said that he wished to avoid the unpleasantness and expense of trials and for that reason favored do ing away with the use of the com mission of appeals except in cases where a teacher was discharged by less than a unanimous vote of the five members of the board. Tt Is inconsistent," he declared, "that three men selected by a pre siding judge should pass on what five men elected by the people have agreed upon. "It has never been my idea entirely to abolish the teachers' commission of appeals." he said, "but rather to re strict its jurisdiction to the cases of those teachers dismissed by less than unanimous vote of the five mem bers of the school board. It is my opinion that when five members of the school board are unanimous in their judgment that for the good of the service a teacher should bo dis charged and so state in an offlclul vote while the board is in session that no appeal should lie to the teach ers' commission of appeals, but that in case the board Is not unanimous when the five members are in session, then an appeal might be taken by the discharged teacher."
