VALUABLE PAINTING
SUDDENLY IS FOUND
SEARCH CONDUCTED YEARS
FOR $500,000 CANVAS. .
Ownership Is Claimed by Los
Angeles Woman, Who Dis
posed of It for $100.
OGDENSBURG, N. Y., Nov. 11.
A missing painting by Claude Lor
raine, seventeenth century artist,
said to be valued at $600,000 and for
which a search has been made for
years, was discovered today in the
recreation room of the Knights of
Columbus home here. The building
formerly was the residence of Mrs.
W. J. Averill, stepmother of Mrs.
E. H. Harriman, widow of the rail
road financier.
The painting called "The Port of
Messina" is said to have" been the
property of Bertha Ettinson, a native
of Russia and for several years a
nurse at Philadelphia and Los Ange
les, to whom it was given by an
artist in Russia. Miss Ettinzon, it
is understood, was ignorant of the
v lue of the painting and sold it to
an art dealer in Los Angeles for
$100. The purchaser discovered its
worth and liad it insured for $500,
000. When Mrs. Averill sold her home
to the Knights of Columbus the
painting was included in the sale.
At the time she was reported to
have said the canvas was wcrth
$1000.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 11. The
painting. "The Port of Messina,"
ownership of which was claimed by
Miss Bertha Ettinzon, was placed in
a safe deposit vault in a local bank
about two months ago, when Miss
Ettinzon began suit for its posses
sion, under a court order.
Persons interested' in the proceed
ings said today they presumed it
was still there, and were at a loss
to explain th reported discovery of
the painting at Ogdensburg, N. Y.

Carriers' Proposal -for
Reduction Vetoed.
PRESENT TARIFF TO STAND
Railway Interests 'Guarded
Against Their
CHANGE IS DANGEROUS
Interstate Commission Insists on
Reasonably Compensatory
Rates for Western Roads.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, D. C-, Nov. 11. Trans
continental railroads were today
denied authority by the interstate
commerce commission to reduce
rates on traffic originating east of
the Rocky mountains, or destined
ther :or, to or from Pacifio coast
terminals for the purpose of meet
ing water competition. The com
mission held that the amended
fourth section of the commerce act
made it mandatory on the commis
sion to deny any tariff changes
which did not assure reasonably
compensatory rates to the carriers.
The railroads, the commission
said, had failed to prove that the
rates proposed to compete with the
ocean carriers would be reasonably
compensatory. The commission also
saw in the proposed rate change a
violation of section 3 of the com
merce act, which provides that
there must be no discrimination be
tween shippers. The effect of the
decision is to leave the present
rates to and from the Pacific coast
unchanged.
Dissenting Opinions Filed.
Commissioner Meyer concurred in
the main findings of the commis
sion, but, supported by Commission
ers Esch and Lewis, dissented as to
the violation of section 3. Commis
sioner Campbell concurred in the
denial of the applications but filed
a dissenting opinion, asserting that
the commission had not recognized
the full intent of. Congress in the
enactment of the reasonably com
pensatory provision. Commissioner
Aitcheson, with Commissioner Pot
ter, dissented from the decision in
sofar as it denied the westbound
applications of the carriers ' for
relief under the fourth section.
Recognition is given by the com
mission to the provision of the
transportation act of 1920, section
500. which, the ruling points out,
indicates the purpose of congress
"to promote, encourage and develop
water transportation service and
utilities in connection with the
commerce of the United States, and
to foster and preserve in full vigor
both rail and water transportation."
Law Feature Interpreted.
Interpreting the reasonably com
pensatory provision of the amended
fourth section, the commission said:
"These proceedings comprise
fourth section applications of the
transcontinental lines proposing to
establish from and to the Pacific
coast terminals lower rates than are
in effect to tnd from intermediate
points on traffic having origin or
destination In the so-called defined
territories lying, roughly speaking,
east of the Rocky mountains.
"The Pacific coast terminals in
question are ports ot call in Cali
fornia, Oregon, Washington and
British Columbia for steamships ply
ing between those ports on-the one
hand and Atlantic and gulf ports
on the other, through the Panama
canal. The intermediate territory,
hereinafter referred to as inter
mountain territory, embraces such
typical points as Spokane, Wash.,
Reno, Nev., Salt Lake City, Utah,
and Phoenix, Ariz. On many com
modities he intermediate territory
extends east of Helena, Mont., Den
ver. Colo., Albuquerque, N. M., and
El Paso, Texas.

"PUNY" SENATORS
DRAW WILSON FIRE
FAILURE IS CRISIS CHARGE
OF EX-PRESIDEXT.
Country Declared to Have Stood
Still Since Armistice and Not
to Have Assured Peace.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. 11.
Ex-President Woodrow Wilson em
barked today on his long-expected
"come-back" voyage.
Elated by the results of Tuesday's
election and improved in health, the
ex-president, by letter' and by word
of mouth, made it plain that he is
ready again to present a bid for
leadership of the democratic party
and dictation of its .policies in the
1924 campaign.
That he is seeking to revive the
league of nations as an issue in the
United States and to name a candi
date who can win on a league plat
form was believed to be clearly in
dicated in an address which he de
livered to a crowd of 5000 admirers
who gathered before his S-street
heme in celebration of Armistice day
and in a letter which he wrote to
Senator Caraway, Arkansas, one of
the democratic leaders in the senate.
With something of his old-time
manner, if not of vigor, he assailed
the republican senate, flaying "puny
minds" who are "standing in the
way. of justice" and criticising it
sharply for failing to bring about
the establishment of a permanent
world peace. He spoke firmly and
in a well-modulated voice, but the
evidences of his long illness were

PARADE FITTING CLIMAX
Greatest Event of Kind Comes to
Close; Movement of Entries
Homeward Starts.
With the greatest attendance in
the history of the Pacific Interna
tional Livestock exposition, esti
mated .by officials to have been ap
proximately 27,000, the 12th annual
stock show closed its doors with a
fitting climax in the grand parade
of champions through the huge
main arena last night. Exhibitors
were pleased, the public was
pleased, judges were pleased and
officials, of the exposition and resi
dents of Portland were enthusiastic
over the success of the greatest
show of the kind in history, which
ended after a week of rainy weather
with a total attendance record of
ficially estimated at more than 101,
000 people, the high mark of last
year's fine weather week.
"This was by far the greatest
livestock exposition in the world,"
declared E. A. Stuart of Seattle,
president of the exposition, who was
re-elected for another year, at the
close of last night's programme.
"The great enthusiasm displayed
here by the exhibitors and the gen
eral public has been gratifying to
each of us who have devoted our
efforts to making this show the
leader of its class. The manage
ment has not had the patronage this
year which had been expected, but
only the weather was to blame.
- Show Indicates Progrreaa'
"The quality of the stock is far
super'or to that of any previous ex
position, which indicates beyond all
doubt the progress made in the live
stock industry of the west during
the last year. We are starting now
on our plans for next year's exposi
tlon, and we are determined to make
next year's show even greater than
the one just closed. The manage
ment hopes to maintain the support
of citizens of the entire Pacifi
coast, which has been responsible
for the success of the show in the
past, in Its future endeavors."
Mr. Stuart is one of the foremost
breeders of purebred animals in the
west. He is owner of the Carnation
stock farm of Seattle, and has a
string of purebred horses which
have taken many awards at the
horse show.
Eastern breeders of high-grade
stock and judges from eastern
shows were unanimous in their ver
dict that the Pacific International
this year eclipsed all stock shows in
the United States, both in the quality
of stock exhibited and in the num
ber of pure-bred animals entered.
That their opinion is sound can be
attested by the fact that four world
champions in dairy classes were en
tered in competition here and that
prize winners here are the prize
winners at all the great shows
throughout the country.
Eastern Man Amazed,
'It was with amazement that I
viewed the entries here," exclaimed
one eastern breeder yesterday, "for
I had no idea that the quality or the
quantity here, would be on a par
with eastern shows that I have at
tended. I take my hat off to the
greatest exposition of livestock that
I have ever seen and' I shall carry
the word baof east of the wonder
ful expositi l I have witnessed
here."
The close of the exposition last
night saw the beginning of activity
in the huge pavilions that today
will mean vacant stalls where for
the past week the aristocrats of the

FAIR DEAL DEMANDED AT
CAPITAL CONFERENCE.
Officers, Delegates of Woman's
Party on Record for "Dec
laration of Principles."
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, 1. C, Nov. 11.
With enthusiasm and unanimity the
state and national officers and dele
gates of the woman's party today
indorsed the "declaration of princi
ples" presented by Mrs. Oliver H. P.
Belmont, president, after the form
of the declaration of rights present
ed to the Seneca Falls conference of
pioneer suffragists in 1848, and went
on record equarely for "equal rights
for all and special privileges for
none."
This declaration, formulated after
a year's study of the law affecting
women in all the states, demands
entire equality for women with men
before the law, in' government, in
educational opportunities, in the pro
fessions, in the church, in industry
and in the home.
Delegates from four working
women's organizations the printers'
union, equal rights organization,
equal opportunity league and the
B. R. T. branch of the Equal Oppor
tunities league, all of New York-
asked to be heard in order to voice
their opposition to special welfare
legislation for women in industry.
The campaign programme, also
adopted unanimously, provides for
national and state work to assure
support for all equal rights bills
before congress or state legisla
tures and the creation of commit
tees locally to work for the nomina
tion of women to elective offices
and their appointment equally with
men to appointive offices, for com
plete equality in educational oppor
tunities, the occupations, profes
sions and government service, an
equal share with men in the govern
ing of the church and in church dig
nities, "a single moral and ethical
code for men and women," and the
protection of married women in the
economic world.

SHANGHAI, Nov. ll.-(By the As

today that the number of lives lost
in the burning of the river steamer
Taching near here yesterday, esti
mated at 200, probably never will be
learned definitely.
No records are kept of the num
ber carried by such boats, which
daily are jammed with passengers

of bodies have been recovered, many
of them from the Yangtze river at
Shanghai, and more, probably, are
in the destroyed hull of the vessel,
The authorities are aiding the' few

burned.

The flags drew slowly back from
the figure beneath, from the broad
shoulders of the rider, from tha
tensed flanks of his mount there)
was the happy glint of sunshine on
bronze and, to cheers that swept far
and far down the thronged blocks
of the parkway, Roosevelt re-en
tered a city of the west, his own
province, to be the inspiration of
long-distant centuries. The Roose
velt of old days the plainsman and
the colonel, the well beloved of hia
friends, the feared of his enemies.
It needed but a trace of fancy to
devise, at the unveiling of the eques
trian statue yesterday, as an integer
of the armistice celebration, that
the lean and sturdy horseman, all
poise and confidence and calm re
pression, stirred visibly to the trib
ute of his countrymen that with a
twitch of the rein he might leap
from the pedestal to ride down tho
lanes of uniforms and mufti as
once he rode to a war.
Roosevelt as Warrior Seen.
Hera was neither the statesman
nor the president, but the character
that most endeared itself to Amer
ica, as expressive of Roosevelt the
man who led a certain famous regi
ment, athletes, adventurers, cow
punchers, prospectors, patriots and
sportsmen all, to certain farrious
fields of Cuba where Bucky O'Neill
got his at Kettle hill. And it seemed
most fitting, since children will have
their heroes, and he among them,
that the gift of the bronze rider
should be to the boys and girls of
all America.
The unveiling and dedication of
the statue of Theodore Roosevelt
marked the climax of a memorable
Armistice day, when the veterans o
three wars paraded through the ap
plauding streets and the city gave
itself to proud memories of a very
gallant past. The great processional
itself, bright with steel and gay
brassards and medals shining from
funics, passed and repassed the flag
sbrouded rider and came at length
to rest in the south park blocks near
the heroic statue.
Veterans Mix in Crowd.
Men of Flanders, and Chicka
maugua, and San Juan and the cane
thickets of the islands, merged and
mingled with the thousands grouped
about the statue, and stood at sol
dierly atention as the Vancouver
regimenal band broke Into the
anthem. Gray beard and empty
sleeve, battered helmet and clinking
side arms they were such a scena
and such a stir as would have
joyed the colonel, who knew them
all.
"Mighty in faith, strong in char
