BY W. H WARREN.
The four great transcontinental
railroad systems centering here the
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific,
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
are all set to begin operations
leading directly to the construction
of a huge freight terminal on Guilds
lake, at a cost complete to Exceed
t-. 000,000. They will also expend,
just as soon as they can lay enough
rails at the Guilds lake terminal to
take off sufficient freight from the
Union passenger station end. $200,000
in depot trackage improvements.
There is no other city In the coun
try where the railroads are expend
ing large sums of money for Capital
investments and there is no other
city which- looms so big In the rail
road world just now when it comes
to actual terminal facility expansion
and improvement.
City". Advantages Attractive.
Meanwhile the great advantage
gained by this city and Vancouver,
Wash., through the interstate com
merce commission's recent findings
s to a 10 per cent differential favor
ing these ports on freight originating
in the Columbia basin south of
the Snake river, as between Pu
get sound points. Is believed to
have played a star part in the de
cision of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific lines for joint oper
ation of the North Bank road from
Spokane, thereby giving this city two
additional direct routes from the
east from that direction, as well as
from Seattle and Tacoma.
The statement made here last week
by Howard Kliott, chairman of the
board of .directors of the Northern
Pacific, that joint operation of the
North Bank by it and the Great
Northern does not mean that present
Hill headquarters will be removed
from Portland, but that a strong or
ganization will have to be maintained
here to operate the Oregon Electric,
and perhaps the Oregon Trunk and
the' line to Seaside, is of great sig
nificance as indicating: that the north
ern lines have too high an apprecia
tion of this city's growing im
portance as a railroad center and out
let for the vast crops of the Colum
bia basin 'and other territory to
abolish this local office.
Railroad Payroll Large.
It is anticipated that the business
interests of Portland will not stand
by idly and see an annual payroll of
J5.S5U.U00, now dispersed to Spokane,
Portland & Seattle and subsidiary
Hill lines in Oregon and Washing
ton, shifted to another city, probably
St. Paul, if they can help it. The
figures given are those for the year
1920, Oregon's share of the big pay
envelop being $3,600,000 and Wash
ington's $2.250,000 all paid through
Portland banks.
As to new developments in the big
railroad activities in Portland, the
situation is as follows:
Immediately following the recent
city election, at which the people of
this city "expressed their confidence
in the railroads," to quote Mayor
Baker's words at the complimentary
luncheon tendered by the chamber of

Idle Grist Mill Scene of Horrible
Accident When Playmates Are
Jammed Against Floor.
CEDAR GROVE, N. J.. July 16.
(Special.) An uncommon ' accident
this afternoon in an idle grist mill
owned by John P. Kneer resulted in
injuries which probably will prove
fatal to his 12-year-old daughter Lil
lian and her playmate, Adelaide
Widenor, 6 years old. The children
set a heavy 'disconnected balance
wheel going rapidly by repeated
shoves with their hands, and then
were crushed between its outer edge
and the floor . of the mill when they
tried to ride on the wheel.
The mill, driven by water power
and busy during harvest time, has
been Idle several months. Kneer, the
owner, is a wealthy farmer. He was
with his wife in their home a few
rods from the mill when the children
went out to play. They entered the
mill and were attracted by the wheel,
which is 15 feet in diameter and U
inches wide. It is set on a well
greased axle eo that half of it is
above the floor and the other half
under.
The children climbed around the
broad arc above the floor and after a
while got the heavy wheel moving
slowly. By shoving it they were able
to scramble onj ride to the opposite
end of the half circle and then land
on the floor. At length they stopped
riding for a few minutes, devoting
their attention to making the wheel
go fast. Then they decided to ride
again.
The wheel was whirling with much
greater rapidity than either child
realized. They jumped upon it at the
same time, their bodies face down
and hands grasping the edge of the
rim. At the top of the arc they ex
pected to scramble around, as they
had done before, in order to land feet
first. But the big wheel jerked them
around almost instantly, coming to a
stop with both jammed against the
floor and crushed by its momentum.
VETERAN'S BODY EN ROUTE
Casket With William II. Martin,
Lost Battalion Runner, Coming.
SPOKANE, Wash.. July 16. The
body of Private William H. Martin,
dispatch bearer of the lost battalion
of the Argonne, who lost his life in
France, will come back to Spokane,
his former home. His body arrived
yesterday at Hoboken, N. J., and is
expected to reach Spokane late next
week.-
It was Private Martin who carried
the German demand for surrender
that inspiretl Colonel Whittelsey to
make the famous reply which earned
him the title of "Go-to-Hell" Whit
telsey. Martin had been wounded and
taken prisoner by the Germans. The
wounds later brought on his death.
He is the son of Mrs. S. E. Martin of
Spokane.
FALL KILLS MAIL PILOT

SAX FRANCISCO, July 16. Howard
Smith, United States air mail pilot,
was killed instantly today near the

to Reno.
The plane took a nose . dive and
burst into flames as it struck the
ground. Smith's body was burned be
yond recognition. He was 25 years
old. -
Engine trouble apparently was the
cause of the accident. Smith was
transferred here recently from the
Chicago division of the air mail serv

WASHINGTON. D. C, July 13.
(Special.) We are getting so mjich
gold from abroad that prices threaten
to rise again. As a matter of fact
the index number of national com
mercial agency the number repre
senting the weighted average of
prices of the chief commodities sold
in this country was higher July 1
than on June 1. the first rise after
13 successive months of decline.
A veritable tidal wave of gold is
sweeping upon American chores. It
comes from almost 'every civilized
nation. It has never come in such
huge volume before. And instead of
lessening, the quantity is getting
larger, much to the embarrassment of
certain bankers who see an inevitable
reaction from the downward swing
of prices and another- era. of infla

are extremely cautious in letting
down the bars.
Ihlrd of World's Gold in America.
At the present time, one-third of
all the gold in the globe rests in
American coffers. It has come, drawn
as if by a magnet, at the rate of
$50,000,000 a month and more since
the first of the year. England has

America $12,000,000; Asia $16,000,000.
and even Australia and New Zealand
have sent their mite. The total in

total amount of gold in the board's

held here as suspects in the murder
of William Henderson, 22-year-old ex
service man, at Wolsey last night, are
not the men who did the shooting, ac-i
cording to Robert Duncan, a harvest
hand and pal of Henderson, who came
to Aberdeen tonight with Sheriff C.
Miller of Huron. He failed to identify
either of them as Henderson's slayer.
Henderson was known to Duncan as
"Jack."
"The same men who shot Jack shot
once at me," said Duncan. "The fight
started while we were on a flatcar in
Wolsey. One of the men approached
Henderson and me and ordered' us to
stand 'up and be searched. The men
asked us if we carried red cards.
When we said no, two men grabbed
Henderson and another grappled with
me. Jack broke away from the two
men and as he jumped from the mov
ing car one of the men fired and Jack
fell to the ground with a bullet
through his heart. I jumped from the
train and they fired at me but
missed."
Duncan said the 'man with whom
he was fighting was -arrested and is
in jail at Huron.
Prompt deportation yesterday of the
alleged radical, element among har
vest hands coming into this territory
was believed by Sheriff Elliott of
Brown county to have averted for
the present any I. W. W. demonstra
tion in this territory. This was the
statement of the sheriff after he re
turned with' a posse following 1
search of a group of 500 workers who
reached Aberdeen this morning.
Another shooting was reported from
Milbank, S. D-, near here. Sheriff
Wilson of.Millbank is holding Steve
Koseuw of Minneapolis in connection
with the shooting at Milbank yester
day of Harry Owen, 30, of Wheaton,
111., a harvest hand traveling with
Koseuw and two others.
Reports from Groton and Plana,
Brown county, through which last
night's deportees were sent, were that
the men flagged a freight at Bath,
west of Groton, and started east. The
group sent north split at Plana into
smaller groups and kept going.

GOLIATH AND THE LITTLE
Claim Against War Department for
Transportation Services Set
tle'd by Daugherty.
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 16.
Despite Great Britain's debt of $4,500,
000,000 to this country, payment of
$32,688,352 has been made by the
American government to the 'British
ministry of shipping in settlement of
a claim agianst the war department.
treasury officials admitted today. The
payment was made, officials said, pur
suant to an opinion by Attorney-General
Daugherty.
The British claim was for trans
portation service arising out of the
war with Germany, and the payment,
it was explained.' constituted final
settlement between the war depart
ment and the British ministry of
shipping of all claims of either party
against the other for transportation
service.
Secretary Mellon asked Mr. Daugh
erty for a ruling as to' whether the
act of March 3, 1837, which requires
the secretary to withhold the payment
of any judgment against the United
States where the claimant is indebted
to this country In any maner, applied
to such a claim.
Mr. Daugherty held the act did not
apply, as it was not the practice of
sovereign nations to prosecute their
claims against one another in the
courts and obtain judgment, but ad
just such matters through diplomatic
channels.

Tokio Asks Definition of Prob

SKEPTICISM IS IMPLIED
Cablegram to Portland Consul Ex
presses Willingness to Talk
" Armament With Nations.
T. Sugimura, Japanese consul in
Portland, received a cablegram from
iokio yesterday afternoon outlin
ing the position of the Japanese gov
ernment with respect to President
Harding's invitation to attend a d;s
armament conference between the
five great powers and to link with
this conference the question of poli
cies of the five nations regarding the
far east.
The cablegram expressed the com
plete willingness of both the gov
ernment and the people to enter into
a disarmament discussion, but stated
with regard to inclusion of the far
eastern problems and policies that
the government considered it "more
expedient for the purpose of facilitat
ing the attainment of the object of
the conference that the character and
scope of these problems should first
be defined before they expressed their
views in this respect."
Far Eut Views Indefinite.
The request implies, no doubt, skep
ticism as to the scope of the far east
discussion, rather than the nature, foi
the problems in question are more or
less well known, and it consequently
appears that Japan has certain reser
vations in consideration which may
have led her to request further details
of President Harding's plan
Text of Cablegram Given.
The cablegram follows:
"The United States government
through its charge d'affaires at Tokio
informally addressed to the Japanese
government an inquiry whether it
would be agreeable to them to receive
an invitation to participate in a con
ference between Japan, the United
Stats. Great Britain. France and Italy
which would be held in Washington
at a time to be agreed upon among
the participating governments with
the view to discussion of the question
of limitation of armaments.
"It was suggested at the same time
that the question of limitation of
armaments being, in the view of the
United States government, related to
Pacific and far eastern, problems, t
would be appropriate that the pro
posed conference should also embrace
a discus&icn by the interested powers
of far eastern questions and that Chi
na should be invited to participate in
that discussion.
Other Poiren Invited.
"In the announcement which the
secretary of state of the United
States showed Ambassador Shidehara
on July 10th, and which was pub-
usnea me lonowmg day, it was I
stated that an informal proposition I
of above tenor had been made to the I
four powers heretofore known as the
principal allied and associated iow-
ers, and that the president had sug-
gested tnat in connection with the
conference on limitation of arm -nents
the powers especially Inter
ested in Pacific and far eastern prob
Ifuis should undertake consideration
of all matters bearing upon their so
lution with a view to reaching: a com
mon understanding- with respect to
principles and policies in the far
east, and that China also had been
ir.vited to take part In the discussion
relating: to far eastern problems.
I-tvitatlon Is Accepted.
"It has always been the supreme
aspiration of the Japanese govern
ment and of the people of Japan to
contribute to an enduring peace of
the world and the common welfare
of mankind. Any scheme or under
taking therefore which aims at these
high ideals should be especially wel
come to them.
"Accordingly the Japanese govern
ment made reply to the United States
Tn July 13, through the American
charge d'affaires, in which It declared
its intention gladly to accept the in
vitation from the United States to
participate in. the conference of the
five powers looking to discussion of
the question of disarmament.
"As tor discussion by the proposed I
conference of Pacific and far east
ern problems the Japanese govern
ment, considering it more expedient
for the purpose of facilitating the
attainment of the object of the con
ference that . character and scope of
these problems should first be defined
before they expressed their views In
this respect, requested the United
States government to inform them of
views it may entertain on that phase
of the matter."

Course of Bullets.
ROSEBURG, Or.. July 16. (Spe
cial.) Finger prints, taken today by
James Hunter. Portland expert, may
identify the headless and charred
body that was taken from a wrecked
and burned automobile near Rose
burg Wednesday night and solve the
mystery as to whether the body is
that of Dennis Russell, a laborer, or
Dr. R. M. Brumfield. the missing
dentist.
A report from Chief of Police
Jenkins that Dr. Brumlield had been
seen in Portland Thursday night,
where he was said to have stopped
at a garage, was received by officials
investigating the case today.
Body Prints Are Taken.
In the effort to throw light on the
identification mystery, the Portland
finger-print expert today took prints
from the body and also from the
cabin of Russell. It was impossible
tor him to find any finger imprints on
any of the surfaces in the office of
the dentist, in spite of a most care
ful examination. Every surface had
teen wiped clean, either by the den
tist himself or by the janitor, and
the expert found it impossible to ob
tain a print of any of the fingers of
the missing man.
Mr. Hunter stated that identifica
tion of the body may be made as
that of Russell, but his failure to get
prints of Brumfield's fingers will fail
to establish the case completely in the
event the prints made from the body
are not those of Russell. The plates
have been taken to Portland for ex.
amination and will be enlarged im
mtdiutely and a report made for the
