THE OREGONIAN' NEWS BUREAU
Washington, D. C, April 1. President
Harding displayed all the enthusiasm
of a boy today as he assured Dr. Henjsy
Waldo Coe of Portland of his sincere
desire to get out to Portland this sum
mer and deliver the principal speech
at the unveiling . of the Roosevelt
statue.
"I am certainly going to Portland, I
am certainly going to Portland," the
president exclaimed, just like a youth
speaks of his vacation a week before
it arrives.' Then the president named
other cities in the northwest that he
wished to visit and spoke of his in
tention to make a trip to Alaska, all
of which, of course, he explained, is
on condition that congress adjourns In
time for him to get away. The presi
dent made it clear, however, that his
heart was set on his trip to the Pa
cific coast as the next big event of
his life.
Plans Please President.
Dr. Coe told the president that the
date for the unveiling would be made
to suit his convenience and that the
occasion demanded the presence of
the president of the United States as
the orator of the day. The ceremonies
could be set down for any date this
year; or could foe carried over to'next
year if the president could not make
the journey sooner. Dr. Coe said,
which seemed to please Mr. Harding
cry much.
Chief. Justice-Taftaent a letter to
Dr. Coe today, as did Vice-President
Coolidge, accepting an honorary vice
presidency at the unveiling cere
ononies, of which Judge Henry E. Mcr
Ginn of Portland, intimate personal
friend of the late Colonel Roosevelt,
will be general chairman.
Arrangements have been made for
"the Roosevelt family, Including the
late president's widow, the sons Theo
dore, Archibald and Kermit Roose
velt, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
and Mi. Ethel Derby, to inspect the
clay model of the statue on which the
sculptor, A. Phimister Proctor, is
placing the final touches, at the Proc
tor studio in New York next Wednes
day. Sculptor's Work Watched.
"It is my intention," said Dr. Coe,
who is donating the statue to the city
of Portland, to ha"4 the Roosevelt
family satisfied. Vheodore and Ker
mit Roosevelt have kept in touch with
the sculptor's work as it progressed
and have said they were very much
pleased but insisted that their sister,
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
should see it because she was the real
art critic of the family.
"Mr. Proctor, the sculptor, stands
ready to meet any criticisms offered
by any member of the Roosevelt fam
ily, but I am. sure they are going to
be pleased with this interpretation of
Roosevelt, the rough rider, as he rode
from the plains into, public life, thence
into a place in the army as the brav
est of the brave and on to the White
House, from which he went into the
hearts of his countrymen as one of the
greatest men of all times."

600,000,000 Feet of Fir at Head
of Hoquiam Klver Now Prop
erty of Everett Company.
HOQUIAM. Wash., April 1. What
is said to be the largest deal ever
consummated in the timber business
on Grays Harbor wa's completed here
today, when William E. Boeing and
associates of Seattle sold 600,000,000
feet of timber at the head of the
Hoquiam river to H. J. Miller of the
Miller Lumber & Logging company
of Everett for a consideration said
to have been more than 72,000,000,
mostly cash. The timber is mostly
flr.
Miller purchased the tract for im
mediate logging, and surveys have
been completed for a railroad from
the tract into Hoquiam, a distance of
about eight miles. Booming privileges
have been obtained from the Lytle
Logging company for the east branch
of the Hoquiam river, into which the
logs will be dumped. It is under
stood to be the Intention of the new
owners to log 50,000,000 feet annually.
The tract of timber was bought in
the early days from entrymen for
the father of William E. Boeing by
J. W. Fordney, present chairman of
the house ways and means committee.
A second big deal In timber was ne-
e-otlated between the government and
M. R. Smith & Co. cf Seattle where
by 305,000,000 feet of timber in the
Indian reservation north of here was
sold at a price .said to have been ap
proximately $650,000, of which a small
part was understood to have been
paid down. The contract specifies
that logging operations must start
during the next year.
Still another timber deal which will
timulate logging activities in the
county was the sale of the Hobi Log-
ing company's outfit to B. F. John
son of South Bend. Immediate log
ging of this stand of 40,000,000 feet
in the North river country was an
nounced. 164 LOSE OFFICE JOBS
Colonels and Other Field Officers
to Be Sent to Troops.
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 1.
Nearly a dozen colonels, a score of
lieutenant-colonels and more than 60
majors are included in a list of 164
army officers to be relieved from
duty in Washington before the end
of the present fiscal year and as
signed to field service, according to
an order issued today by the war de
partment. The others are captains
and lieutenants.
The reduction in officer personnel
n Washington was made possible as
result of a study ordered some
weeks ago by Secretary Weeks to de
termine the extent to which war ac
tivities had been closed out suffi-
iently to permit additional officers
to be spared to stations "where their
ervices could be used to better ad
vantage.

ON BOARD S. S. TAIYO MARU,
March 10. (Special.) A night ago.
the better to cheat the voyage of
its. tedium, there squattered on the
promenade deck two dozen wrestlers
of the ship's crew, stripped to the
waist and shining like bronze. Wres
tling holds a high place in the af
fections of Japan, and that which
the passengers saw was really a bit
of the kingdom transferred to an
ocean setting a phase of their na
tionalism venerable with many cen
turies and ceremonials older than the
record.
Yet it did not lack an element of
humor, for the Nipponese are joke
sters at their sport, and can summon
a laugh when everything goes dead
wrong with the favorite, a trait that
the Occident might cultivate to its
advantage. In the giro or seamen
they had a semblance of the clumsy,
the inept, but with their blouses pff
and keen-for the contest they made
one grope for . Kipling's phrases
. . . "trod the ling like a buck
In spring, and looked like a lance
at rest." 1
It should be admitted that the Jap
anese spectators had a distinct advan
tage over those of other lands,- in
comprehension of the strange byplay
and observance that characterized the
bout. Why should each wrestler as
he stepped into the circle of canvas
place hand to thigh, and raising nigh
his foot, bring first one sole and then
the other flatly to the deck? The
gesture was grotesque but clearly es
sential as essential as the strange
robes of the referee or the symboli
cal wooden fan he carried.
Names Chosen Whimsically.
With whimsical humor of a western
sort they had chosen outre mat
names for themselves. Monkey being
matched against Bulldog; Beefsteak
against Curry Rice; and, more seri
ously, Yokohama against Kobe and
Manila against Hongkong. Butter
was billed to engage with Cheese and
Orange must strive with Lemon.
Parenthetically it should be said that
Butter proved stronger than Cheese,
winning two straight falls.
There was an announcer, aside from
the referee, who, with .fan extended,
shrilled the introductions and called
the grinning athletes from -the squat
ted circle. Apparently he voiced the
Japanese rendition of "On my right,
gentleman, Young Jim Corbett, wel
terweight champeen of the woild!"
But what he cried sounded strangely
like a chanted Invocation, ending in
the oddly garbled but familiar name
of the contestant. "O-o-o-rrr-ange;
And Orange, almost as golden of hide,
rose with one lithe movement to his
feet and made obeisance to Lemon,
likewise summoned. Each turned to
the box of salt in his corner, caught
up a -pinch and touched tongue to it,
scattering the remainder on the can
vas. Purification. Courage. A tribute
to fate.
Combat Is Swift.
Squatted amiably, eye to eye, they
dropped to their kunckles and
crouched for combat at the sharp
command of the robed referee. Be
tween them he cast the silken tassel
of his fan coi;d and drew it slowly
toward him. It marked the moment
as it left the mat. But Lemon, with
a laugh and a wave of the hand.

Concert Is Expected to Be One of
Outstanding Musical Treats
of the Year.
Miss Sophie Braslau. one of the
world's most gifted singers and con
tralto of the famous Metropolitan Op
I era company, will sing for the Pacific
northwest from The Oregonian's ra
dio tower at 7 o'clock tonight.
Miss Braslau's concert undoubtedly
will be one of the outstanding musical
treats of the year. She delighted
Portland music lovers with her glo
rious - voice at the Heilig theater
Wednesday night, when she appeared
with the symphony orchestra. Her
singing that night was only one tri
umph in a long series that have
marked her remarkable career in the
world of song.
The noted contralto has chosen two
of her favorite selections for her
radio recital tonight. The first is
"The Sweetest Story Ever Told" and
the second, "Eili, Eili," the solemn,
haunting Hebrew song, which no one
else can sing with the vocal genius of
Miss Braslau. These numbers are
particularly appropriate for a Sunday
concert and should be extremely ef
fective for radio distribution. -
The music season of 1919-1920
proved that Miss Braslau was a queen
of contralto, repertoire. She tri
umphed in New York and followed
this conquest with a highly "success
ful tour of the United States. Her
gifted voice later won as high praise
In England as in this country.
Mrs. Ethel Cave-Cole, accompanist
for Miss Braslau, will play the piano
or the great contralto tonight. A
leading musical publication recently
stated that "few singers have been so

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE WANTED
Recognition of Soviet Govern
ment Principal Issue.
GUARANTEE TO BE ASKED
Victor of Numerous Crises Which
.Threatened Career Will Use
Political Strategy Again.
LONDON, April 1. (By the Asso
cfated Press.) Prime Minister Lloyd
Georg-e will face the most trying situ
ation in his premiership when he goes
before the house of commons Mon
day. He will outline the main fea
tures of the government's policy at
the coming Genoa conference and
will move what is generally inter
preted as a vote of confidence in the
government, or at least in its Genoa
programme.
Several times during the war and
since the premier has gone into the
house faced with an unfriendly or
critical faction. Each of these inci
dents seemed to threaten his career,
but every time he has ridden on the
crest of the storm and emerged with
an enhanced reputation for effective
oratory and political strategy.
Old parliamentary hands declare
these tactics of asking for a vote of
confidence are without precedent. It
has been customary, they say, for
the opposition to propose a vote on
want of confidence, and when the
government is able to command a ma
jority to substitute an amendment
registering confidence. Tradition has
been that the government assumes it
has the confidence of the house unless
motion on. want of confide'nee is
brought forward.
The crux of Monday's debate likely
is to be how far it is proposed to go
toward recognizing the Russian soviet
government. There is strong oppo
sition to full recognition among all
parties except the labor party, and
whatever measure of recognition is
approved there will be strong insist
ence that the bolshevik! give guar
antees to observe the amenities cus
tomary among nations, and particu
larly recognize the old czarist gov
ernment's debts.
A rather unhappy and embarrass
ing incident occurred at the end of
Lloyd George's last visit to Wales.
A local choir of 100 voices at Cric-
cieth had been organized to give a
concert of Welsh sacred, music, in
which the premier takes particular
delight.
An ' announcement was circulated
that the concert would be given on
Sunday night prior to hia departure
n the established church, which pos
sessed the only organ, suitabl for
such singing and also the largest
seating capacity.
Unhappily, the an
nouncement was made without per
mission of the rector, who thereupon
said the concert would not be given
in his church because it was not in
accordance with the church's custom.
Hence, the concert was given in the
Baptist chapel, which seats compara
tively few persons and has no in
strument except an ineffective har
monium. Only an appropriation by congress
of funds for furnishing anoV decorat
ing the J. Pierpont Morgan home in
London is now needed to provide -for
the American embassy here the most
elegant location it has had since the
days of Whitelaw Keid, when the
Dorchester house in Park lane, over
looking Hyde park, was the home
of the embassy.
It has taken a year to clear the
title on the Morgan premises. Papers
have been forwarded to Washington
and the drafting of the deed is now
being completed.

After merely going through the mo

the democrats are likely to have a

of a lively contest for tho guberna

from which to make a selection.
As matters now look, the demo
crats will have a prettv well filled
ballot In the primaries, for candi
dates are coming out for most of the
offices In sight. There will be nomi
nees for governor, a candidate for
congress In each of the three dis
tricts, a legislative ticket In Multno
mah, and democratic legislative can
didates In several upstate counties;
candidates for the bench and for
county commissioners.
Democrats Urttlna; ( hlpprr.
In fact, the democrats are becom

a gambling sense, on playing a long
shot to win.
A contest Is looming over the nomi
nation for governor: Durham Wright

La Grande, Multnomah may "have a
candidate, a Harvey U. Starkweather
