W ilson Emissaries Under Fire In
Congress Jn Regard to Trans
fer During War.
WASHINGTON. D. C, July 1. In
structions were issued today by
President Harding that a demand
be made on the Chemical Founda
tion, Inc., for immediate return to
the government of all patents, trade
marks, copyrights, contracts and
other property transferred to it by
alien property custodians of the
Wilson administration.
The instructions, contained in a
letter written by Mr. Harding to
Thomas W. Miller, alien property
custodian, which was made public
at the White House, were wholly
unexpected, although the Chemical
Foundation at numerous times has
been under the fire of republican
members of congress. In addition
to the instructions that a demand
be made for return of the 'assign
ments made by the alien property
custodian's office under the previous
administration, the president ordered
Mr. Miller to take any action ad
vised or approved by the attorney
general to respect fully the rights
and interests of the United States
government or any of its agencies
in the properties turned over to the
Chemical Foundation.
Haste to Be rued.
' Supplementary to the president's
letter a statement was made by Attorney-General
Daugherty that the
action taken by Mr. Harding was
"justified by the records" of the de
partment of justice, which he said
had for many months been conduct
ing an investigation "In the face of
much interference." The attorney
general added that the instructions
as to return to the government of
property taken over by the founda
tion would be carried out "with all
dispatch,"
Notable among the attacks on tne
Chemical Foundation in congress, it
was recalled today in connection
with publication of the president's
instructions, was that made by Re;-resentative-
B'rear. republican. Wis
consin, who a little less than a year
ago stirred up a row with the
charge that "the dye monopoly,
headed by the Chemical Foundation
company," had sought to influence
three members of President Har
ding's cabinet in an effort to per
petuate "its present exclusive pow
er" in this country through reten
tion of the dye embargo.
Seizure In Charged.
Mr. Frear at that time further
charged that "Francis P. Garvan
and Joseph Choate Jr., while em
ployed by the government in the
alien property custodian's office in
positions of control, conceived the
idea of seizing alien patents then on
file at the patent office and takir ;
them over for themselves and their
associates in a private capacity un
der the name of the Chemical Foun
dation company, at a "private sale'
for $250,000, or about 2 per cent
of their actual value."
The Frear charges were denied
by Mr. Garvan and his associates at
the time, but their company several
times since has come under con
gressional fire, particularly during
debate on the dyestuffs schedule
of the tariff bilL It was attacked
and also defended during the dye

ELKS CMIl TANGLED
DR. MORROW FILES ACTION
FOR AN ACCOUNTING.
George L. Hutchin Charged With
Failing to Keep Agreement on
Division of Profits.
Management of the recent "car
nival of peace, progress and pros
perity," sponsored by the Portland
lodge of Elks, may be aired in the
circuit court as the result of a suit
filed yesterday by Dr. J. W. Morrow,
who advanced $5000 toward the af
fair, against his promotion partner,
George I Hutchin. Dr. Morrow de
mands an accounting for all money
taken . in. holding that at least
$2308.54 is due him as his share of
the profits from the enterprise.
Dr. Morrow points out that last
March he became associated with
Mr. Hutchin with the idea of pro
moting the carnival, and they
agreed to share the profits equally.
He advanced $5000 as a cash guar
anty toward the success of the
project and Mr. Hutchin contributed
his time and experience, it "" is as
serted. Under the arrangement with the
lodge the Elks were to receive 60
per cent of the profits of the car
nival and the promoters 40 per cent
to aiviae Detween tnem.
Dr. Morrow complains that Mr.
Hutchin has refused him any ac
counting and retains all profits
from the joint venture for his own
use.
In a statement made by Mr.
Hutchin to the lodge, on June 21,
139.132.37 -was collected for the car
nival, with a total net profit of $11,
642.73, of which the lodge was en
titled to $7126.64. Of the $4617.09

TRAIN HITS AUTO; 1 DEAD
"Crossing Safety" Week Marked
by Two Fatal Accidents.
YAKIMA, Wash., July 1. (Spe
cial.) By one of fate's ironies,
"crossing safety" week has been
marked by three crossing accidents
on the lines of the Northern Pacific
in the Yakima valley. Two of them
caused the deaths of two men.
C. C. Marler, driving from his
ranch to Yakima today to act as
pallbearer at a funeral, was hurt
fatally when a train caught the
rear end of his automobile near
Donald and turned it over upon him.
He died soon afterward. The train,
a fruit special, and the crew were
in a crossing accident 48 hours be
fore when Fred Carry was killed
near Outlook. The trainmen were

Harding Intimates That Servants
of Public May Take Hand if
Peace Is Delayed.
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 1.
Coal operators and miners' union of
ficials meeting here today at the
behest of President Harding,
buckled down to the task of reach
ing a basis for negotiating a settle
ment of the, nation-wide coal strike,'
and in doing so resolved them
selves into two conferences one
composed of those engaged in the
bituminous industry and the other
of those interested in the produc
tion of anthracite.
The bituminous conferees, by far
more numerous, agreed to meet
again at . 2 o'clock tomorrow.
The anthracite representatives,
after discussing with Secretary of
the Interior Fall the issues held
responsible for the suspension or
work in their districts, adjourned
to meet again next Thursday.
'o Decision Reached.
Neither of the conferences ar
rived at definite conclusions today,
and adjourned for further meetings,
mlndul of the warning given by
President Harding in opening the
full conference that unless they
were able to reach a settlement of
the strike, "the" servants of the
American people will be called to
the task in the name of 'American
safety."
Participants" in the bituminous
conference made no statements !
except that their two executive ses
sions had been inconclusive. Sev
eral operators let it be known that
they expected their discussions to
continue for several days. It was
clear that the atmosphere at both
sessions was what a cabinet mem
ber described as "pugnacious."
The main fact said to be deter
mined was that the miners' union,
through its president, John L. Lewis,
insisted upon a central competitive
field wage scale negotiation as a
condition precedent to strike settle
ment. Operators apparently were

original walkout was precipitated,

up wage negotiations except by dis
tricts. Hoover and Davis Present.
Both Secretaries Hoover and Davis
attended the meeting, but the gov
ernment's proposals, if any are to
be made in its behalf, were not sub
mitted during the day.
Those participating S. D. War
riner, chairman of the general com
mittee of anthracite operators, with
his. associates, and Phillip Murray,
vice-president of the United Mine
Workers, with three district presi
dents, composed a body fully em
powered to make wage settlements,
while the bituminous gathering had
only power to formulate recom
mendations. The anthracite conference, ' how
ever, resulted in a restatement of
differences which led to its suspen
sion several days ago, the union of
ficials Insisting upon a continua
tion of wage scales as they existed
April 1, and the operators tendering
arbitration as a method of determin
ing whether the scares should be re
duced. A wait, presumably to allow
determination of the bituminous sit
uation, was agreed upon.
President Harding addressed the
conference.
"If it 'wasn't for the fact that I
have the good fortune to know a
man or two of you personally," the
president said in his greeting, "I
shouldn't be able to tell a union man
from a mine operator at all."
, Settlement Is Urged.
The president's address stressing
the importance to the public of a
settlement, with a suggestion that
failing voluntary action on the part
of components of the industry, the
puDiic mignt have to Intervene, was
followed by an adjournment of the
gathering to other quarters. Alfred
M. Ogle, president of the National
Coal association, having been select
ed chairman, and William Green,
general secretary of the union,
secretary, further proceedings were
held behind closed doors.

ENID S. SMITH SAYS MATE
LOVES ONLY HER MONEY.
Divorce Complaint Charges That
Husband Is Bootlegger and Con
sorts With His "Babe."
W. C. Smith bragged to his ac
quaintances that he had married a
rich widow, intended to spend alt
her money and then get rid of her
and marry the woman he loved, Mrs.
Enid S. Smith charges in a suit for
divorce filed in the circuit court,
in which she asks judgment for
$5000, which, she asserts, her hus
band borrowed from her in the
course of their married life.
The Smiths were married in ,Ta
coma in February, 1919. Smith had
no money, but his wife had in
herited "a large sum," it is asserted.
Since marriage he has spent more
than $6000 of her money, $5000 of
which was lent to him, she charges.
After marriage Mrs. Smith discov
ered that her husband was a pro
fessional bootlegger and rum-runner
and despite her pleas he refused to
change his occupation, she avers.
He was arrested in Montana for
bootlegging, and as late as last
April for conducting a moonshine
establishment at 863 Sandy boule
vard, .with a lunch counter, con
fectionery, cigar shop and barber
shop as a blind, says the wife. Mrs.
Smith asserts that her husband
never showed affection for her 'un
less he wanted to work her for some
money," and lavished attentions on
a woman known as "Babe."
Early last month Smith kidnaped
he,r son by a former marriage In
an attempt to extort money from
her, and on June 28 attacked her
with such brutality that she lost
consciousness for three hours, she'
charges.

H. Christofferson, chief criminal

possible connection of Louis Victor

with the slaying of Ernest
camps, prominent member o
local French colony, in August
The pair were arrested by the po
lice in Vancouver three days ago
and are being held, pending the ar
rival of the Portland investigator.
It was decided to send Christof
ferson at a conference yesterday be
tween Sheriff Hurlburt and Henri
Labbe, French consul.
Local authorities believe the con
nection between the pair arrested
in British Columbia and the disap
pearance of Descamps is intimate.
It is known that both Brayer and
Mrs. Desjardines were in the United
States at the time of Descamps'
dropping from sight and the finding
of gruesome chunks' of human torso
scattered about Portland.
The pair furnish a motive for the
crime which has been missing in all
other avenues of investigation. It
was on information given by Des
camps that the two -were deported
from Montana in 1918..
Another circumstance is the fact
that Brayer was a butcher. Experts
who examined the parts of human
torso thought to have been from
the body of Descamps were unan
imous in the opinion, from the na
ture of the cuts, that the persontwho
had dismembered the trunk had
some technical knowledge of the
butcher trade.

Linn Hay Crop Good.
ALBANY, Or., July 1. (Special.)
Haying is nearly over in many
parts of Linn county. A good yield
was reported generally. Fall grain
throughout this part of the state is
looking good, but spring grain needs
rain very badly. Because of the lack
of rain for the past few weeks the
crop of spring grain in most local
ities will be very light.

Programme Well Received.
The first programme of the season
was well received, the vast auditor
ium being comfortably filled for the
address of B. F. Irvine, editor of
the Portland Journal, and the mu
sical programme of Lorraine Lee
and company.
Mr. Irvine, whose address was en
titled "Whither Bound?" laid stress
upon the need of education to stem
the tide of ill self-government, put
ting blame for graft and crooked
ness upon the shoulders of the per
sons who through Indifference and
neglect fail to provide themselves
with necessary information on po
litical Issues. Illiteracy, now on the
increase even among native born,
with unrestricted immigration but
addtng to the evil, was cited as the
great obstruction to intelligent self
government, with education as the
weapon of combat.
Soprano Welcomed Back.
Lorraine Lee, lyric soprano, was
welcomed back with fervor by the
audience. She sang a well-arranged
programme in splendid voice. Miss
Lee, whose home is at Canby, has
been studying in California for the
last two years, and has made prac
tically no public appearances since
her Chautauqua work here in 1920.
Her voice shows a mellowness and
fullness developed through careful
training, and her charming person
ality instantly won her entire audi
ence. She was assisted by Marie
Chapman McDonald, violinist, who
divided honors for the afternoon's
success. Miss Lee was accompanied
by Professor J. Hutchinson and Mrs.
McDonald was assisted at the piano

court here, resulted in a verdict of
$20,000 for Dr. H. S. Mount against
Drs. O. A. Welsh, M. C. Strickland,
A. H. Huycke, C. H. Meissner, Ross
Eaton, C. A. Stuart and George
Stuart. The action was for $50,000,
based upon a libelous publication
made to the county court.
The motion for the new trial.
among the 119 reasons set forth in
the voluminous document, holds that
three of the jurors in the case were
guilty of misconduct during the
trial. Affidavits in support of this
contention are attacked, stating
that certain of the jurors openly
discussed the suit while it was pend
ing and expressed either a prefer
ence for one side or an antipathy
toward the other.
It is also contended that some of
the jurors were personally hostile
toward the defendants and admit
tedly had preconceived opinions.
None of the jurymen was Dr. Mount's
patients and none of the jury was
a personal friend of the defendants,
the motion says. It further states
that only nine of the 12 Jurors
signed the verdict and that one of
their number was in favor of giving
the plaintiff only $250, but voted
for the larger amount because he
wanted to get rid of the case and
go home.

PROTEST IS ANSWERED
Master Fish Warden Replies to
Tillamook's Sea Lion Appeal.
TILLAMOOK. Or., July 1- (Spe
cial.) The letter of the Tillamook
chamber of commerce to Governor
Olcott, protesting against tne kill
ing of sea lions at Seal Rocks, and
their carcasses being allowed to
drift ashore, and rot, haB been
answered by Carl D. Shoemaker,
master fish warden. The government
officials say that state officials have
no right to kill sea lions on tne
Seal Rocks, as it is a government
preserve, and have notified persons
interested that they will prosecute
the hunters. Mr. Shoemaker, In his
reply, says:
"These animals. It Is believed, are
a serious menace to the future of
the salmon industry. The law of
compensation is working to the
detriment of the salmon. When little
or no fishing was done in the va
rious salmon streams, the number
of fish produced annually offset the
inroads made by seals and sea lions.
. . . . Personally, I do not feel that
the hunters should kill the seals
and sea lions at such places along
the coast as are contingent to sum
mer resorts, and I have so in
structed those who are engaged in
doing the hunting."
Fred C. Baker, president of the
chamber, replying to the above let
ter, said in.part:
"It may be interesting to know
which is the greatest menace to the
salmon industry sea lions or sal
mon trout."
