The sparks ;flew again today at the Lockwood committee investigation of the latest Bteel merger, with Samuel Untermyer, committee counsel, swinging on the ianvil and Mortimer L. Schiff of Kuhn, Xioeb & Co. flaring in anger at his interrogations. Their verbal fusillade got so hot at one time that Unter Jnyer warned the banker he might so to jail for refusing to answer questions. Schiff quickly Intimated that if he did Untermyer would keep -him company behind the bars'. 1 The discussion centered around the Jart Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are to take in merging the Republic, Midvale and Inland companies into the North American Steel corporation. Schiff Insisted the relationship of his firm was purely one of banking; they were financially "fathering" the en-, terprise, he said, and were to head the syndicate to underwrite $25,000, CO0 in preferred stock at $90 and J44.000.000 in common at ?43, and .'then raise another $20,000,000 in cash Jo-purchase additional Midvale paper. Questions Called Unfair. ; Untermyer contended that the bank ers Intended to "create a market" for 4he stock of the new corporation, with this $20,000,000 cash, and that they were likely. to manipulate prices to favorable levels toy buying and sell ing securities. j Hot with resentment, Schiff called on Chairman Lookwoodi to make Un termyer cease asking "unfair" ques tions. 1 After he had admitted that the bank might both buy and aeU. the stock, the question that set off the Jireworkks was put to Mr. Sch'ff in 4hese words: "Bo that whilst with lone hand the syndicate is selling tpck to the public, with the other hand, it is buying stock from the public." ". Sehiff said this was not true be cause the transactions were not sim ultaneous and. when the lawyer in quired how he knew, he shouted: "We do not wash etock, and I re- stnt inai implication. , . Jail Threat Is Made. : "All these resentmentsv you know, don't count," Untermyer ' remarked "These facts are what we are looking for." r Then put the question in the way ';so that they are facts, and don't twist things," suggested the banker. t "Mr. Chairman," continued the bank er? "Mr. Untermeyer is trying to put .words in my mouth that we arc ma nipulating stock, and I will not do it. I refuse to answer another ques - iion.' Then came the Jail threat. "Mr. Untermyer twists words in; any niouth," said the banker. " VNo. I cannot ret in- your mouth." tJntermyer assured him. "If I could I would close it." - In. a moment they were at it again, Untermyer insisting that the syndi cate was a "buying and selling one," and Schiff agreeing that all syndi cates were of that nature, but that purchases and sales were not made at the same time. You may have, had ex perience in that way but I haven't," tba hanker eaid to the lawyer. "I know Something in Bethlehem." Untermyer Harks Back. "Don't tell me about your experi ence or mine," Untermyer barked back. "I think I know yours and I do not think you know mine. If you think you know any of mine, you are at liberty to state them now from the witness stand and do not dare to make, these contemptible, insinua tions." "I resent the word contemptible," Schiff remarked. ' . "They are contemptible because they are not true," said Untermyer. - Schiff demanded a retraction from ITntermyer on published statements nuoting the counsel as saying the $20,00,000 was to be used for trading Jn the market so that when the stock reached a high level the "insiders fcould unload, and the outsider could load up," but Untermyer merely re marked that the statement was not Jn the record of committee proceed, lngs and let it go at that Thomas L. Chadbourne, the lawyer who promoted the syndicate, refused to turn over any of the papers to the committee today, although he was ordered to do to in a subpena, WASHOUGAL GRADUATES 6 Stephen A.

SOVIET RECESSION IS FRENCH DEii Attitude Toward . Russians Same as at Genoa. poincare; GIVES POLICY Memorandum Sent to Powers Says Moscow Mast Relent if Col- -laboration Is Desired. BY LINCOLN EYRE. (Copyright by the New York World, lished by Arrangement.) ;pub- PARIS, June 3. (Special Cable. France is not disposed to collaborate in any efforts for the restoration, of Russia unless the soviet radicals re cede from the intransigent attitude taken up in their general memoran dum of May H at Genoa. This is the position adopted by Premier Poincare in a 4000-word memorandum, which he has addressed to all the powers to be represented at The Hague. . r M. Poincare outlines with an infin ite precision of detail the views of his cabinet, which is a continuation of the same policy he initiated at Genoa when he formulated for the benefit of the allied governments con ditions under which France envisaged participation in that enterprise. Fruitless Deadlock Seen. On this occasion, however, the French premier refrains from mak ing Franse's presence at The Hague conditional upon acceptance of his principles by the other governments or the Russians. He mterely infers tbat failure to accept these principles, which in effect are the same as those embodied in the Cannes resolutions rejected by Russia, will result in a profitless deadlock. Considered as a whole the memor andum merely reiterates at length The French position as It has been Bet forth many times before and during the Genoa conference. M. Poincare demands that the So viets recognize .unreservedly the rights of foreign-owned property and formally undertake to repay the debts of previous regimes. He also insists that powers other than Rus sia participating at The Hague should reach a preliminary agreement as to exactly what points they intend to discuss with the Russian experts. Such an agreement, in M. Poin- care's opinion, cannot be arrived at in the five days allotted for formulation of a programme by the non-Russian delegates under the Genoa arrange ments. Consequently he advocates preliminary negotiations forthwith. Future Deliberations Limited. Reduced to its simplest form, the note is an expression of -France s re solve to avoid further conversation either with or without" the Russians except on the basis of principles which the premier feels must underlie any scheme for rehabilitation of Rus sia. Therefore future deliberations are to be limited to matters of tech nical detail. , AUTOISTS .ESCAPE TBI GRAND JURY REFUSES TO FILE MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES.

Forgery of a chattel mortgage on sawmill property at Warrenton, Or. to the value of $15,000 was charged in a criminal suit filed against Ed Diamond, local real estate man with offices in the Chamber of Commerce building, yesterday upon complaint of F. G. Kelly. The latter claims the property involved is that of the F. G. Kelly Lumber company, to which, he said. Diamond has no right whatever, although the mortgage, recorded by Diamond, empowered him to dispose of the sawmill equipment and lumber in the yards. .- v In his statement made to Deputy District Attorney Pierce as basis for the prosecution, Kelly declared that ho needed $35,000, went to Diamond t oborrow the money, offering as collateral mortgages on $15,000 worth of property at the Warrenton mill and on real estate in Multnomah and Clatsop counties vauled at $28,000 Kelly signed both mortgages, leaving blank the part or the chattel mort gage setting out the specific security in Warrenton. and they were locked in Diamond's desk on the night of March 30, 1922, Kelly asserted. The lumberman's statement went on to claim that illness kept him from completing the transaction th next 'day, but that on the following day he discovered that both mort gages had been recorded and that the chattel mortgage empowered Dia mond to sell "machinery, belting, motor conveyances, saws, tools, lum ber" and practically all property In the Warrenton yards. Kelly claims he did not receive a cent for either mortgage and that the specific part of the chattel- mortgage was written in by Diamond without authority. Diamond said yesterday the action brought by Kelly was an effort to compel him to proceed with a plan to finance the lumber dealer. The mortgages given, including the one on the Warrenton property, were perfectly legal, signed in the presence of a notary, and Kelly knows it," declared the real estate man. 1 have offered several times to cancel both mortgages if Kelly would get the First National bank to re lease me from my guarantee of Kelly in the sum of $23,000." ipiPPBOVES JAZZ MARY OF ENGLAND DANCES TO AMERICAN TUNES.

There has never been any fox-trot ting at state balls here, but Princess Mary and her royal brothers are as fond of the modern dances as any commoner in the realm. . Now that the princess has shown she approves of such dances it will be difficult for the critics of jazz dancing to inveigb against it as an American institution that is corrupting British civilization.

Captain Cuttle, adding: But only for 10 shHirngs, although Harry won quite a lot. Byilaying 10 shillings on Captain Cuttle Princess Mary cashed in 5, as the winner was 10 to 1 against.

Crest Probably Will Be Reached Within Next Ten Days, Says ,v... District Observer. Freshet water from the upper Co lumbia and Snake rivers will raise the stage at Portland to 20 feet by Tuesday and a greater height will be attained later in the week, but it is not believed at the weather bureau that the river here will rise o the crest of 1921, which was 24.3 feet. Hot weather in British Columbia and Washington has given impetus to the rise in the main Columbia, while warmer conditions in southern Icjaho ' influenced the Snake river. a Lv Wells, district forecaster, ex pects the crest of both streams to come together and says the crest at Portland should be reached within the next 10 days. The average date of the fresher crest here is June 11 and Mr. Wells says that while it is not possible to indicate positively the stage to be attained, he hopes the crest will not be far behind the average. With so many streams of varied size con tributing snow .water to tne Colom bia, Clearwater and, Snake it is held difficult to ascertain what may be expected, as some of the streams probably already have been cleared of snow, while along others or at their headwaters considerable re mains.
