''President A. II. Averili of the cham

Ifioon that he had appointed Joseph N.
Teal to go to Washington as the spe
cial representative of the commercial
interests of this port in the campaign
to secure the passage of the. bill pro
posing an appropriation of $1,500,000
tor a dredge to work on the Columbia
river bar.
The announcement followed a con
ference between President Averili and
Mr. Teal at 1:30 p. m.
"I appointed Mr. Teal in accordance
with authority given me at the mass
meeting Monday, and because he is the
man of all men in this country best
able to authoritatively present the
arguments in behalf of the measure,
the conditions which define the need
of an appropriation, and the crisis that
exists in respect to our commercial
development, which must be met by
et curing 40 feet over tne uoiumoia
river bar as "soon aa possible.
President Averili will probably go
with Mr. Teal to Washington an Join
efforts in promotion of the dredger
bill. James J. Hill, the empire builder,
William Clough, chairman of tho
board of directors of the Northern Pa
cific, and C. II. Mcl.eod, prominent Mis

fend to appear at Washington iri be
half of the measure whenever by their
presence they may aid- Representa
tives of other communities are to b!
appointed and it is expected that with
the representatives in congress of the
states included in the Columbia's drain
age basin, the support of the measure
will be formidable.
"It is exceedingly difficult for me to
arrange my afafirs so that I may
leave at this time," said Mr. Teal, "but
those who have stood by me in other
issues of public service are Joining in
the call now; the service is presented
in the light of a duty; it has undoubt

I should let my personal affairs inter

Mr. Averili will go as soon as they
can make their plans.

The floor of the tunnel from some

BEARDSLEY GIVES UP
BATTLE WITH SHERIFF,

Week if He Had Fuel, He
Tells Captors,
.tCnited Press Leased AVTre.)
Summerdale, N. Y., Jan. 21. Aft-.r
standing nearly a week's siege barri
caded In his home here, by Sheriff
Anderson and a posse of more than
20 men, Edward Beardsley surrendered
at 4 a. m. today.
Beardsley, a small farmer, was so
poor that neighbors declared his nine
children were suffering for food. Poor-
master Putnam accordingly caned to
take charge of them. Beardsley would
not give them up and. when Putnam
Insisted, shot and dangerously wound
ed him.
Then, his wife and children with ilm.
he shut himself up In his house and
declared he would kill whoever tried
to enter. The sheriff would not permit
his men to use their- firearms for fear
of killing the women and children. He
could have held out another week,
Beardsley said, if he had had fuel.
"The sheriff's no good," he added
contemptuously.
He denied that ho had wanted to
shoot Putnam, but explained that ha
had to defend his home,
Beardsley is a small, slender man, a
former school teacher and preacher, a
fluent talker and intelligent. He did
not surrender directly to the sheriff,
but to Charles Backus of Mayville, a
friend, who had advised him to give
himself up. On doing so, he turned
over his weapens to Ray Pickard, a
Jamestown law-yer, eneaged for him
by his brother. "Apparently he had ex
pected to remain in Backus' custody,
for when a deputy sheriff entered to
take charge of him he resisted fterce'.y.
After a struggle M.was overpower.-d
and locked up.

Flannery Tells Committee.
COLORADO HAS SUPPLY
FOR WORLD, HE CLAIMS
Mine Commissioner Claims
Withdrawal of Land Would
Raise Price Greatly.
(United Pri Leaned Wire.)
Washington, Jan. 21. President J.
M. Flannery of tne Standard Chemical
company told the house committee on
mines and mining today that an "aged
millionaire" planned to build 20 hos
pitals .at a cost of $15,000,000. for frje
treatment of cancer with radium. Each
Institution, he Bald, will be provided
with five grams of radium. Flannery
refused to disclose the Identity of the
millionaire, but intimated that it was
neither Andrew Carnegie nor John D.
Rockefeller.
Mine Commissioner Thomas Henehan
of Colorado told the committee that if
radium, lands were withdrawn the prlc
of radium would increase to $500,000
per gram. He favored states' rights
and said all Colorado wants is to be
let alone and she would mine her own
carnotlte without being under federal
espionage or control. He said he want
ed the prospectors to have free rein.
President Flannery followed Hene
han. He recited efforts to discover a
cancer cure and said that experts
sent to Europe had found the radium
cure effective. He pointed out that it
takes from 360 to 400 tons of ore to
produce a gram of radium. Colorado,
he said, has enough radium "to supply
the cancer victims of the entire world
five times over." Flannery estimated
that 200 gTams would supply all the
cancer sufferers in America,
"I am willing to agree to furnish
that amounts to the government in five
years." he declared, "and at a price
lower than the government could man
ufacture it at a maximum figure of
$86,000 for a gram."
Flannery declared that radium was
25 times more valuable in other dis
eases than in cancer. He was positive
that it is a cure for rheumatism and
other painful diseases. Flannery then
made his statement regarding the un
named millionaire who planned to es
tablish a chain of 20 free radium hos
pitals. SUBMARINE LOCATED IN
33 FATHOMS OF WATER
Plymouth, Eng., Jan. 21. Submarine
A-7 was located, today at the bottom
of Whltesand bay, in 33 fathoms of
water. It was, of course, impossible to
determine at once what accident was
responsible for its failure to reach the
surface, but preparations for raising
began immediately. It was accepted as
a foregone conclusion that all inside
had been dead for several days.
The work of bringing the craft to
the surface will begin at dawn tomor

from the destroyer Earnest, whlcn,
with the destroyer Zeal, was ordered to
remain on guard over night to keep

LOCAL OFFICE DRAWN
ON BY FOREIGN MONEY
ORDER DEPARTMENT
More Than $500,000 Sent
' Away Annually From the
Portland Postoffice.
A real example of "everything going
out and nothing coming in" to the em
tent of more than $500,000 annually, is
shown in a report of one branch of the
Portland postoffloe's finances, made
public yesterday by Postmaster Frank
S. Myers.
The drain Is through the internation
al money order department, and it does
not come upon the postoffice. but upon
the nation's money supply. Interna
tional money orders, about 95 per cent
of them, are earnings sent abroad by
foreigners in this country.
The Japanese, through their station
in the north end, sent away more than
$100,000 in international money orders.
Altogether, -20,748 money orders to
foreign lands went out of Portland in
1913, for a gross sum of $578,080.30.
From foreign countries 2008 Interna
tional money orders were paid In Port
land in the sum of J53.688.76.
Comparing these figures it Is seen
that $500,000 more went out than came
in. A little more detailed figuring will
show that through this source $11
leaves Portland for every $1 that
comes in.
