PRESIDENT'S POSITION KNOWN Harding Is and Always Has Been Party Man. BLOCS HELD UNDESIRABLE Tnfluence of Chler Executive WIU Be Squarely Behind Anti Primary Campaign. i BY ROBERT T. SMALI Copyright. 1922. by The Oreconian.1 WASHINGTON", D. C, May 6. (Spe cial.) The defeat of Senator New in Indiana has kindled anew the fires of opposition to the direct primary system among those stalwarts of the republican party who believe that party government is best conserved by party discipline. The primary, it Is admitted, does not make for party discipline. If Albert J. Beveridge wins at th polls next November he will come to Washington beholden to no national party leader. To all intents and purposes he will be a "free lance," and there is no doubt that he will align himself with a group of senators who turn deaf ears to purely party appeals. In old-line party ranks there is growing revolt against the primary system. New York state virtually has abandoned this method of select ing party candidates for office. Re publicans of the old school regard the direct primary as a heritage from the progressive party movement and resent it accordingly. President Harding is among those who decry the primary system. His feelings on the subject have not been brought about by the defeat of Sena tor New. The president expressed himself long ago in no uncertain terms as to what he regards as the undesirability of the. primary system. Striking Example Cited. Mr. Harding regards himself as striking example of the fact that the primary system broke down com Dletelv In a national sense when it came to selecting presidential candi dates in 1920. If the republicans at Chicago had been compelled to give the nomina tion to an aspirant having a majority of instructed delegates chosen at pri marles, Mr. Harding would not have had a chance. Mr. Harding did not have the means necessary to make a nation-wide campaign, and no man in a primary system can afford to hide hiB light under a bushel. It is contended by the anti-primary republicans that the immense amounts shown to have been expended in behalf of certain aspir ants for the nomination in 1920 were proof in themselves of the undesira billty of the system as at present un derstood. Inasmuch as the primary system grow up state by state, the fight against -the primary will have to be waged in each commonwealth. rrty Control Affected. It is President Harding's conten tion that the convention system of nomination imposes greater party ob ligations on the candidate than the primary system evr can hope to do. The president believes that the pri mary system breaks down party con trol and therefore seriously affects government by party. The United States is distinctly a government by party, he asserts, and therefore gov ernment is effective only insofar as party management and party discip line arc effective. The president dwelt upon the essentiality of party government in Ills first formal mes sage to the present congress. "CirantinK that we are fundamen- .n.-imW n-i T'ur " Pftirann " .

NATIVES INURED TO MISERY Inhabitants of Comfort Laugh at Unfortunates. DEAD LITTER ROADWAYS Tourists, Surrounded by Starving Throng, Horrified by Plight. Price of Uivea Is Cheap. BY BEN HUP. LAMPMAN. SHANGHAI, cnina, April 11. (By Mail.) Near the well pot tea house and the city temple, in the walled na tive district of this paunchy and pros perous port, there is a place of sing ing birds. From their wicker cages the hundreds of them chirp and sing and twitter, until the half shadow of the street is bright with melody. I charge you not to go there, when you have come to Shanghai, for all aDout and arour.d their caged medley are loathly things that would be human in any other land save this. To have seen is to remember and to wish to forget. Nevertheless you will enter thi north crate and China as it was before the day of Alexander, and as it is today. Not far from here, in "West Hunan, where "amine rules, the Augustinian fathers write that the starved dead litter the roadways. Mothers are sell ing their children into slavery, and the price of a child is less than the cost of a good cigar. Beside the plight of these the lot of the beggars of Shanghai Is thrice blessed. In con trast they are both happy and pros perous, these terrible fortunates who whine through the native city near the place of singing birds. The charm of China, the glint of her dragons and the sheen of her softest silks, is smirched by a poverty most hideously repellent. Here life is always at grips with the elemental hunger. The cry of the mendicant never varies. It is '"Master! Master! Have pity!" Starvation Always Prevalent. I know that those who have passed in ease through this city by the yel low river,-that those who live in ease and comfort here, and dance at tea, an-I flirt and laugh and order wine, might smile to think that even slight concern should be expressed for those whose lives are cheaper than a tallow dip, and to whom the garbage of a tea house in a feast. For there have been beggar& and famine in the land since its first history was traced, and fam ine and beggars there will be many a long vear from now. One cannot say why or when or how they became pariah, and no one cares to know. They are of the nature of preor dained and objectionable things. Close to the place of singing birds, where the cobbles of the dark alley glisten and sweat, where merchant jostles coolie, where slim silk-trousered girls go by demurely, where the pewtersmiths file and hammer and the money changer counts his tat tered bills, there is a ragged quilted heap in the street. Barefoot and silken touch it carelessly, this cu rious texture that has been tossed to the stones. It lies in the filth as un regarded as the common muck it rests upon. Yet from it lifts as you pass the naked shoulders of a woman, with a baby at breast, crouched on the cobbles. Her hair is matted about the grimy face, her eyes are dulled with an apathy that is bestial, an apathy that lifts for the moment as she cries, "Master!" Of such stuff are nightmares made. What fate was it that overtook this lump that sprawls beyond her? Legs it has none, nor arms. It Monday Musical Club Chorus of 35 Women's Voices Will Present Concert Tomorrow. Dr. Harold Leonard Bowman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, will deliver a short sermon over the radio phone in The Oregonian tower to night, and four members of the choir, together with the assistant organist, will render a musical programme of sacred numbers as the regular Sunday night radio church service of The Oregonian. Dr. Bowman, besides reading his sermon, will also conduct a scripture reading and prayers. The four mem bers of the choir will each, sing one solo and one quartet number. Otto Wedemeyer, director of the choir and baritone soloist, will sing "The Blind Plowman," by Clark; Blanche "Will iams Seegersten, soprano, has chosen "Day Is Dying in the West," by Speaks; Halfred Young, tenor, will sing "I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes." "Guide Us With Thy Heavenly Light," Tosti, is the selection to be sung by Mary Wylie, contralto, and the quar tet number will be "My Faith Looks Up to Thee," Schnecker. The service will open with" an organ solo to be played by Alice Johnson, assistant organist at the First Presbyterian church, who will also accompany o.n the organ for the singing. Last night when it was announced that the radio station of Willard P. Hawley Jr., was closed temporarily, owing to the serious illness of a rel ative. The Oregonian tower set was pressed into service for sending out the concert Mr. Hawley had scheduled. Messages from 3ayor Baker and (Concluded on Page 2, Column 1.) INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS Th Weather.

RIOT CALL IS SENT POLICE Gassed War Veteran, Inno cent of Trouble, Beaten. YOUNG MAN IS STABBED Victim. Walking From Work, Is Slugged by Longshoremen and' Hit on Head With Iron Pipe. H. J. Blomberg, 26, 324 Salmon street, was the victim of an unidenti fied gang of half a dozen men at Sixth and Alder streets about 8 :30 last night. Alighting from a curtained automo bile, the gang attacked Blomberg, his brother Edward and R. L. JDayton, 21, 500 East Seventh street North. All three are employed at the docks as longshoreman strikebreakers. Three other men were injured during the afternoon. A riot call was sent to police head quarters that brought a squad of mo torcycle patrolmen. Upon their ar rival the supposed strikers had disap peared into the curious crowd that had gathered. The elder Blomberg was treated at the city emergency hospital for a contusion of the head, where he apparently had been struck with a blackjack. The other two were slightly hurt. Three Are Arrested. A riot call to Broadway and Larra bee street resulted in the arrest of M. F. Camp, strikebreaker, and two strikers. Camp told the police that he went from the dock to that inter section by taxi to catch a Vancouver street car and that the strikers fol lowed him in an automobile. When they approached him he drew a pocket knife, he said, and warned them that if they started anything he "would cut them into dog meat." The strikers then called the police. All three were. turned loose, with instructions to see the district attorney for warrants If they desired further action. Before leaving headquarters Camp told the strikers that if they troubled him fur ther they wanted to be sure to make a good job of it. Three Attacks Occur. Within the space bf an hour yes teday afternoon three men in three different places were attacked by striker? and more or Jess seriously in jured. All attacks were in spots where no police were near and aid did not arrive in time for arrests to be made. The most seriously hurt of the vic tims was P. J. Kern, 29 years old and not a strikebreaker. Mr. Kern was unable to leave the hospital until last night and said he had gotten off a train from Seattle at noon and walked to Fifth and Hoyt streets, where he was set on by seven men. They first demanded where he was working and he said that on tell ing them he was looking for work, they pinioned his arms and pulled his feet from under him, throwing him to the sidewalk, where he was kicked and beaten, a rib on his right side being broken and his right cheek cut. "I am a timber and mine worker, and had no thought of looking for a waterfront job," he said. Sickness, due to having been gassed in France, where he says he was a member of company D, 345th regi ment of the 9 2d division, has pre vented him from doing heavy work and forced him to leave the last two places where he was employed. Young; Men Attacked. George Wagner, 23 years old, re ceived a hard blow on the head with a water pitcher and was stabbea in the left cheek just as he was entering the St. George hotel.

Sug gestions of a mysterious diversion of American funds loaned to Russia were denied flatly today by Boris Bakhme teff, the Russian ambassador here, and then promptly renewed on the floor of the senate. In a formal statement filed with the state department, Mr. Bakhmeteff declared the $187,000,000 advanced by the United States to the erstwhile Kerensky government in Russia all had been properly expended and ac counted for to the last penny In of ficial reports mads by the embassy to the treasury department. No sooner had the ambassador's statement been read In the senate, where it was sent without comment by Secretary Hughes, than Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, announced that he had examined and re-examined the embassy's reports and still was unable to decide what had become of $87,000,000 of the fund. Later, outside the senate chamber, he intimated that he planned some further important ac tion to support the case he originally presented on the senate floor yes terday. "The proceeding may be a little un usual," said Mr. Borah tonight after he had re-read the statement of the ambassador, "but the investigation will be continued." LARGE HEART BALM ASKED Millionaire Sergeant's First Wife Wants $560,000 as Damages. MARION. O., May 6.

EVA TAN6UAY IS CENSURED Performer Declared to Have Called Players Drunk. "JOKE," ANSWER PLAYERS Woman. Disgruntled Hue lo I. nek of Ovation. Complained at Headquarters, Say t;o!-lWr. Ed Morris, new manager of Loew'a Hippodrome, gave the customary two weeks' notice yesterday to the leader of the orchestra in that playhouse, which means that a new leader and orchestra will be on the job at the end of the fortnight. Reasons for the dismissal are not entirely clear. Manager Morris said yesterday he took the action off his own bat for the reason that the orchestra was not up to the require ments of the house. His order, he said, had no other signflcance. This is not at all in harmony with the gossip along theater row yester day. The dressing rooms and back stage at all the local theaters bussed with the hiring of a new manager and the firing of the old orchestra at the "Hip." Trouble Laid to En. According to these wise ones. It was the cyclonic Eva Tanguay who "got" the orchestra. She had troublo with It when she was here recently, but that was nothing new for the heavyweight cutup, for she always has had trouble with orchestras. Other performers say no orchestra can follow her because they declaro she cannot sing, knows nothing of music, nor can she act, and for her to criticise an orchestra Is a much bet ter joke than she ever "pulled" on the stage. These gossipers state, however, that Eva stamped and raged at the orches tra during her engagement here and declared the musicians were drunk. Affidavits can be obtained, however, to the effect that at least six of the eight orchestra members do not know what whisky tastes like. Orders Declared Itrrri rd. Also, according to rumor and gos sip of the vaudeville profession, per formers being Inordinate tale bear ers. Instructions came to Manager Morris from San Francisco to "fire" the orchestra. Miss Tanguay jour neyed on to San Francisco, the coast headquarters of L.oew'8. Inc., upon the completion of her engagement here. That she complained bit terly there of the musicians of the Port land "Hip" Is believed firmly by many in the business now talking about the latest move in Portland. Moreover, they connect up the res ignation of W. W. "Bill" Ely. long manager of the playhouse, with tho Tanguay incident. She Is said to have fumed to Mr. Ely about the orchestra and blamed the musicians for the lack of that volume of applause so sweet in the ears of a vaudeville performer, for her appearances here lacked con siderably the nature of an ovation. Manager Ely, say the gossipers, like the good scout he always pfuved with them, stood by his orcheetfs, sensing that the temperamental Kvh, and not the musicians, was at fault. Plaehargr Is ReFusrf. In the stag wings, between arts. It is blng said that aftr Miss Tanguay reached San Francisco, orders came to Manager Ely to "can" the orohi'ftra.
