Newspaper Page TextWILL KEEP ORDER AT PEACE FEAST Special Precautions Taken by Authorities to Prevent Any , Discordant Note at Banquet at Waldorf-Astoria. New York, Dec SO. That old Hlber nlanlsm, "We'll have peace av we fight for it," well describes the situation ap parent before the widely heralded "peace banquet," which, with President Taft as chief KJe-t, will be held tonight at the Waldorf-Astoria. Following denunciations of the ban quet by former President Roosevelt, An Urew Carnegie and Mayor Gnynor, the war spirit Is bo rampant that precau tions to prevent a serious clash have been taken, and for the first time In the history of a formal feast here 80 po lice will attend, prepared to oust any guest refusing to accept his peace un adulterated and exactly as prescribed by the committee on arrangements, Fifty other police have been detailed to guard President Taft. The president, usually pacific. Is ex pected to reply hotly to Colonel Roose velt's allegation that the peace treaties now before congress, to applaud which the banquet will be held, were conceived In a "spirit of hypocrisy.' Andrew Car negie, Henry Clews and Charles A. Tpwne are also scheduled to speak after Taft' s address. ,1 A special train from Washington will bring numerous diplomats to grace the feast. It will arrive at 4:S0 p. m. and start on the return to the capital at midnight Among those billed for pas sage on It are the Japanese, Russian, Austrian, French, Turkish and Brazilian ambassadors and most of the ministers representing foreign countries at Wash ington. The presence of police at the banquet tonight resulted from a call by Samuel Thomas, one of the promoters, to Pollco Commissioner Waldo, saying he "feared something might happen." "HYPOCRISY NEVER PAYS," WRITES T. R. TO PEACE COMMITTEE New Tork, Dec. 80. Giving his long waited reason for his refusal to attend the big "peace banquet," at which Pres ident Taft will tonight be the chief fig ure In New Tork, Theodore Roosevelt's correspondence with Captain Bloomer, secretary of the banquet committee, was published here today. In it Roosevelt ays: - "I am sorry that I cannot permit the use of my name at the Citizens' Peace banquet, simply because I do not know what the banquet is for. If it Is meant to overawe the senate .and force that body against its conscience to support the unamended peace treaties, which the senate foreign committee has shown by an unanswerable argument is hostile to honor and the Interests of the American peoplethen I am out of sympathy with It. "Hypocrisy never pays. To announce lit lAlltiAtt that w lntpnA in arhifratA everything, when no human being in his sane senses imagines their country would arbitrate everything, is putting us In a position of revolting duplicity. Use of the word 'Justifiable' in rro way helps. In such a treaty the word is meaningless and is definable in any way either party chooses." , Bloomer la reply declared that the committee made it plain that the din ner was Intended to aid in general, and not spcific'ally, the world peace move ment, saying: "The idea of any treaties was not in the mind of the members of the com mittee." Roosevelt In his letter repeats his sentiments expressed in the current Outlook, and adds: ' "Admiral Mahan claims, undoubtedly truthfully, that the Monroe doctrine is 'Justifiable and would have to be arbi trated under a treaty. Of course, if you do believe in arbitrating all ques tions involving national honor or inter ests, including the Monroe doctrine, the Jewish passport question, immigra tion of Asiatics and thd question of state bonds, then you are Justified in wishing to pass unumended treaties, al though I think in such cases you will occupy a very foolish and unpatriotic position. But If you don't believe in arbitrating these and similar matters, then you occupy a wholly indefensible position." SEATTLE WILL VOTE ON CITY-OWNED PHONES Seattle, Wash., Dec. 30.

Malcolm McLaren of the Burns agency, was responsible for the state ment that the labor leaders had been Indicted on a Joint charge of conspiracy to transport dynamite between states in violation of the federal statutes. Arrest a Thunderclap. The arrest of the labor men came as a thunderclap to local union men. spe cial Government Agent Lawler having stated only this morning that no indict ments would be returned until January 8. Those "In the know" however, pre dicted that indictments would be re turned, believing that Lawler's an nouncement was simply a ruse to throw the union "men off their guard. AH the San Francisco men with the exception of E. A. Clancy, were in the federal building when the indictments were returned. When the federal grand Jury recon vened after reporting to United States Judge Wellborn, A. E. Yoell of San Francisco, an official of the Asiatic Exclusion league, was the first witness called. Some time later the Jury ad journed until Tuesday. The penalty for the offense with which the labor leaders are charged is a fine of not more than $10,000, not more than two years' imprisonment In a federal prison, or both such fine and Imprisonment The specific offense is being parties to and engaging in a conspiracy to commit an offense against the laws of the United States, the offense being the carrying of explosives from one state to another. It Is charged that the indicted men transported nitro glycerine and dynamite on regular pas senger trains. There are four counts In each true bill, each carrying theabove penalty.

' T-st nriAinniT fi PLAN IU FKUHItSlI SALE OF DECAYED Important Meeting Held in Of fices of Dr. Calvin S. White, State Health Officer; Re ports on Tests of Cows. Plans to prohibit sale of diseased, dirty and decayed meat In Portland were made by a committee of health meouu of a quaufjgd veterinarian at $125 a month to serve as chief Inspector, with an assistant at $100 a month. This or dinance, said Dr. R. J. Chlpman, is a dead letter. The committee, purposing to bring the law to life, appointed an other committee to redraft the meas ure and present it as a new ordinance. The measure will be brought first be fore the city board of health at its meeting January 2. The members of the committee are Dr. C H. Wheeler, city health officer, chairman; Dr. Calvin a Wnite, Dr. R. J. Chlpman. Oat Throats of Cows. Dr. White said that a large propor tion of the turkeys and chickens sold In the Portland market were tubercu lar. He said he had found persons out side the city" cutting the throats of cows that died in parturltation and shipping them to the city to be sold as beef. He averred that hogs with cholera had been similarly sold. Such cows or hogs, in their diseased condition, he said de veloped toxins that were highly poison ous and would always cause sickness and were consequently much more dan gerous than tuberculosis in chickens, turkeys, geese, hogs or beeves, because tubercle bacilli are quite generally de stroyed by thorough cooking. There should be provision, said Dr. White, for at least a post-mortem ex amination of all carcasses and this can be arranged by requiring that all dressed meats be accompanied by the liver, lungs, heart and kidneys. These portions of the carcass indicate disease when other portions do not. It was Insisted that Portland is the only city oi its size in the United States that has not an adequate meat inspec tion law in dally operation. Tests Arc Mads, Dr. Herbert Silverwood, dairy inspec tor for the city, said tuberculosis among dairy cows Is rapidly decreasing in the vicinity of Portland. He said that in his tests of dairy animals for tubercu losis last year he was compelled to tag 750 cows , as being diseased, while this year to date the number Is less than 200. He expressed confidence that the disease could be destroyed in the vicin ity of Portland by persistence in the methods that were adopted as a result of the pure milk campaign. It is not understood that the drafting and passage of the new ordinance af fects the office of market inspector now held by Mrs. Sarah A. Evans. The work of the Inspectors would be confined to diseased cr decayed meat or unsani tary condition of places where meat Is sold. Mrs. Evans has as additional duty Inspection of bakeries, restaurants and markets, and has Included Inspection of meat for sanitation because no one had been appointed for this task. In the con ference yesterday beside those men tioned there were present Harry W. Stone, O. M. Plummer, D. O. Lively, Dr. Andrew C. Smith. IN OU ACCUSED OF Medford Citizens Bay Packages Are Dumped Into Gutter at Delivery Limits, While Canner Alleges Re fusal to Refund Wilful Overcharge (Salem Bureau of The Jnnrnal.l Salem, Or., Dec. 30. Bitter complaints coming In to the state railway commis sion regarding alleged high handed acts on the part of express companies prom ise to bring about a general investiga tion of these carriers in Oregon, paral lel with the investigation being made In the country at larjre by the interstate commerce commission. Medford citizens are complaining of an arbitrary limit set by the Wells Fargo company for delivery, alleging that the company will "dump packages into the gutter when its wagons reach the limit of delivery territory, rather than go a block farther, and that tho company's delivery zone does not cover all the paved streets, even. I. H. Taffe of Celllo declares that when he shipped 10 carloads of fresh salmon to New York by the- American express, the agent at Celllo, to get an extra commission, charged almost 10 i cents a pound Instead of 3 cents, the i regular rate for minimum cars of 10 tons. Mr. Taffe declares that the com- I pany acknowledges to him it was wrong, ' but refuses to refund his overcharges, which are numerous and amount to lare sums, he says, on the ground that the interstate commerce commission is ; investigating. They refuse to refund ! until ordered to do so, he says. MARSHFIELD WOMAN CHARGED WITH MURDER (Special to The Journal.) Marshfield. Or., Doc. 30.

Dr. J. M. P. Chalmers and Attorney It. C. Sugg left this morning on the 7:45 train for Olympla, where they will lay the situa tion before Governor M. K. Hay and ask the attorney-general of the state to be Instructed to enter into the case and conduct the prosecution. They will request that the attorney general call a session of the grand Jury in Clarke county, so the facts may be properly brought to light In case the attorney-general cannot spare time to take charge, they will ask him to name his assistant or some local attorney as special prosecutor. The committee is taking along full facts concerning the failure, and ex pects to bring enough pressure to bear on Governor Hay to get their requests granted. Captain Aloe, who is a mem ber of the committee, was unable to go. The committee will return tomorrow morning. Attorney R. C Sugg believes he has been the victim of false accusations and writes the following lett r: "Vancouver, wash., Dec. 29. To the Editor of The Journal The officers of the Commercial bank, their friends, sympathizers, stenographers and office boys are busy spreading the gossip that my only motive In my activity in the Commercial bank matter Is political in short, that I want to be prosecuting attorney In 1912. I am sorry this let ter is necessary, but it seems this rumor has found some believers. In -order to still It forever, I wish to make this public announcement: I will not be a candidate for prosecuting attorney In 1912. Under no circumstances will I permit my name to be used in connec tion with a candidacy for that office. "As a member of the depositors' com mittee, I am In this thing to get at the truth and see Justice done to uncover the filthiest financial wreck that could be imagined. We need aid and encour agement, not opposition and suspicion. "Therefore, if anyone does believe this story, let this forever set at rest his suspicions. Sincerely yours, "It C. SUGG."

In view of the number of Inquiries that have corns from all parts of the world for information concerning Port land's shipping facilities the Portland Chamber of Commerce has Just pub lished a pamphlet giving this informa tion in very complete form. The pam phlet will be forwarded to all parts of the world. As the completion of the Panama canal grows nearer foreign shipping firms are eager to gain Information con cerning the harbor facilities here, cost of fuel and other matters of importance to shipping, and consular agents have for the past several weeks been busy gathering and forwarding statistics of various kinds to firms in their respec tive countries. It is believed that the opening of the canal will be followed by the im mediate establishment of regular and direct steamship service between the various countries of Europe and Port land and other Paclfio coast ports, both for the aocommodatlon of passengers and freight traffic. As compared with charges In other ports, the Port of Portland stands very favorably in that for instance pilotage is not compulsory neither at the en trance to the river nor on the river. In towing vessels up or down the stream the Port of Portland towboats are in charge of regular pilots thus eliminat ing the necessity of engaging a special pilot as is the practice in many ports. The pamphlet in touching upon the subject of securing sayors says that the maximum charge for seamen is now $10 and that captains have the freedom of engaging their own crews without going to shipping masters. In former days blood money had to be paid, the cost sometimes aggregating more than $1000 for a crew of 15. LA FOLLETTE ROASTS ALORICH TO A TURN (Special to The Journal. Hamilton, Ohio, Dec. 80.
