Schiff Flares in Anger at

i -
MERGER IS DISCUSSED
.Witness at Iiocktvood Investiga-
tion Threatened With Jail If
Answers Are Refused.
t NEW YORK, June 3. 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

TEXAS TOWN AGAIN QUIET
Whites Around Kirvin Disarm and
I I Negroes Remain in Hiding.
i KIRVIN, Tex.. June 3. (By the As
sociated Press.) Practically normal
conditions prevailed again in and
-rear Kirvin tonight. Rumors of pos
sible race riots and clashes of whites
and negroes continued, but were dis
counted. Many men who were armed
this morning had put aside their
weapons and most of the crowds
which came here from adjoining coun
ties and nearby cities had gone home.
Many of the negroes were reported
to have left their homes to avoid pos
sible trouble. '
Bodies- of Allie and Leroy Gibson,
negroes killed in a fight with officers
yesterday, are in the possession of
relatives, it was eaid.
Sheriff Mayo denied today that the
negroes were taken into custody be
cause of alleged connection with the
murder of a 17-year-old girl, which
resulted In the lynching of four ne
groes. The sheriff declared there was
no formal charge against the Gibsons
and deputies sought them to investi
gate an alleged attempt by white men
to whip one, of them..
"The negroes in the community are
behaving themselves and I don't an
ticipate any trouble from them," Sher
iff Kayo declared.
"Their attitude seems to be one of
fear toward the whites rather than
one of defiance." .
"Many negroes spent Friday night
in trees and bushes, completely aban
doning their homes through the fear
of the white people," M. T. Gonzaulles,
government agent, said.

SHRINERS TO ; EXPERIENCE
' ' LITTLE TROUBLE.
California Highways Declared
Have . Been Neglected In.
Northern Part of State.
FRESNO, Cal., June 3. (Special.)
Pacific northwest Shriners, many
of whom are planning to motor to
the big conclave at. San Francisco,
will find the roads good. There will
be a few detours but hone that will
give the autoists trouble. Arrange
ments are being made to open all pos
sible paved roads. California crews
are working long hours to put the
highway in order for the Oregonians
and Washingtonians who will travel
south by auto.
There are four or five detours
around the Grants Pass country but
none will experience difficulty in any
car from a "bug" to the high-powered
machine.
California has neglected the north
ern part of her state so far as good
paved highway is concerned. Imme
diately on crossing the Oregon-California
line cautious driving should
be the order for the dirt road is
rough and ragged, the snows of a
heavy winter having left the road in
bad condition.- The trip over the Sis
kiyous is not difficult or dangerous
but should be taken cautiously. The
California commission 4s planning to
have stationed all next week to greet
the Shriners and others from the
north, a representative of the Cali
fornia state motor vehicle department
who will register each "foreign" car
and driver and issue a permits There
is no charge for the .permit.
The drive from Sisson, Cal., to Red
ding and beyond should be made by
daylight. The trip over the mountain
pass, Mount Shasta and Shasta
Springs, is har,d, precipitous and - in
some places dangerous, particularly
along the cliff above the Sacramento
river. The road, a hard gravel way,
is narrow in many places, and in some
places in this section it is, difficult
for two cars to pass.

SOVIET RECESSION
IS FRENCH DEii
Attitude Toward . Russians
Same as at Genoa.

Memorandum Sent to Powers Says
Moscow Mast Relent if Col- -laboration
Is Desired.
BY LINCOLN EYRE.

;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. ,

mony of witnesses before the" coro

Jury did not believe the driver should
be tried on a manslaughter charge.

MORTGAGE HELD FORGED
G. KELLY, OWNER OF MILL,
SUES ED DLAMOND.
Local Real Estate Man Accused of
Fraud in Deal Over Prop
erty at Warrenton.
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."

LONDON, June S. (Special Cable.)
American jazz music ,at last has
gained the approval of royalty. When
Princess Mary made her' debuuj last
night as a London hostess thare were
some "peppy" numbers in the pro
gramme of dances, that followed a
brilliant dinner.
King-George and Queen Mary re
mained -a long time, 'thoroughly en-
oying the scene in the ball room of
Chesterfield house, the London borne
of Viscount Lascelles and his bride,
the princess. One of the fox trots
was "You. Can't Sting a Nigger," and
all the young dancers Btepped to it
with vim. A one-step was "I'm Just
Wild About Harry." Harry is the
name of Viscount Lascelles.
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.
The killjoys will have another
shock by the report that Princess
Mary told some of her friends last
night she had backed the derby win
ner. 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

COLUMBIA RISE FDREGAST
STAGE OF 20 FEET EXPECTED
AT PORTLAND TUESDAY.
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. The stage at Portland yesterday
morning was 18.2 feet, a rise of 6 in
ches in 24 hours, end 18.7 feet is ex
pected today with 19.4 feet tomorrow
and 20 feet Tuesday, wenatcnee re.
ported a rise of 1.6 feet yesterday and
The Dalles 1.4 feet, with a gain of
4-10 at Lewiston and 8-10 at Umatilla.
The 20-foot mark forecast for Tues
day would make the stage 5 feet
above the official riooa level.

THE DALLES, Or., June 3. (Spe

Shepherd and he is prepared to ac
cept defeat gracefully. . In carrying
out the idea for party harmony Mr.
Shepherd has addressed a letter to
all defeated republican aspirants, pro
posing that they hold a . dinner in

for unsaccessful candidates to repair to
"Salt river," where the ozone quickens
their philosophical tendencies and brings
them to accept the verdict of the elector
with a fine spirit of grace and rfteigniatioB.
It la not. however, the rood fortune of
every su-ch candidate conveniently to make
his journey in the mid-st of the growing
season, even though we have a "Suit
creek" as one of the headwaters of our
awn Willamette river, and therefore as
a substitute for the solace or tne custom
ary journey it is proposed for aU unsuccessful-
candidates at the recent republican
Irrimary ta meet and greet each other at a
banquet in keeping with our humility, to
he held at Portland on the evening ot
June 23, and there extend to the other the
"touch of nature that malces the whole
world kin" and likewise make a combined
force in aid of the successful republican
candidates at the fan election, ,
