From Threat of Violence by Other Members. Nw York, Ort. 7. Charles Edward TlufsrM. wHI known newspaper and masrajilip writer and Socialist candi date for senator from Nw York, who,' with hi wife, spent .three weeks at Thf Iljfiif during th ealy days of th war, assisting tn the relief of stranded Amerlcsnn, refuse to believe that the Kuropean conflict will be the lat great war. "Thin war," he explained, "is purely a commercial struggle engendered by tierman and Uritlsh trade rivalries, and when It Is over the beaten sfd will 'simply get busy preparing for the tiext time. "The nuggestlon of Slav domination or of racial domination of any other kind is absurd. The business inter ests caused this war and so long as we have competition, we will have the cuukb for war. Cooperation at Tha XCagu. "Take the situation at The Hague, for example. A number of ordinarily highly paid specialists gave their serv ices free of c)iari' to handle the relief work. It was cooperation instead o( competition. Ilful we been working for pay probably we would have quarreled like cats and dogs, but in stead we worked in harmony. "I'nttl cooperation can be substi tuted for competition we shall continue! to have War. The only hope that this war will end all wars is that the debts piled up by it will break the mawse' back and they will upset the preent financial monopoly, which alone benefits by the killing of men." Speaking of the Work done at -The Ilrfsue, KusHell snid: "The Hague. Is the great clearing house between Germany, Austria and tbe outside world. When the war broke out, Its importance had not been con sidered by our government and Minis ter Van Dyck and his little paid force of assistants found themselves con fronted by a situation which called for energetic action. Hafu Becomes Clearing Hons, "Thousands of Americans were in Germany and Austria. Thousands of the subjects of the warring nations were. In the same two countries and When the Hritish severed their Ger man cabl The Hague become not only an Important clearing house, but the only one there was. "The legation staff was swamped from tho outset. ."Refugee flocked into Holland and wantsd t get home. Letters and tele grams poured into the legation liter ally by the basketful. Most of them had to be translated from English into German or from German into English. "There were hundreds ofalls upon the legation to locate missing people. "And Minister Van Dvck had no body to help him. "Then it was that a volunteer force came to the front. First there was Alexander R. Gullck, - a New York lawyer, whose income is well above $30,000 a year. He put into operation the most wonderful card index I have ever seen. Ha Indexed every com munication received for reference at minute's notice. Specialists at Work. "Charles H. Sherrell, another high priced man. took charge of all teler grams. He also put into effect a sys tem whereby all messages were han dled promptly and replies were pushed through at once. . "Professor George Wjlson of , the Harvard law school, one of the great est American experts on international law. .ilso took a hand In the game. Mo became a sort of assistant minister and kc(t everyone advised On the legal nuf-sliiiiiH which were arisfng constant ly. As a matter of fact, it was prob .thly due to bis keen insight into the legal problems which presented them selves which prevented serious trouble, ' W.

PORTLAND BREWING COMPANY HIGH SCHOOLS CROWDED Admission of - Outside . Students X Subject of Consideration at the Vetting' Held Yesterday. & i Ole. Hanson. Declaring that above all else, the Progressive party and the progressive movement is opposed to R A. Booth, the Republican candidate for United States senator. Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, Progressive national committeeman, sounded the keynote at the Progressive rally held at Scandinavian hall last night. Ole Hanson, Progressive can didate for United States senator in Washington, was the principal speaker of the evening. Dr. Coe. who opened the meeting and called to the presiding chair Ar thur I. Moulton, Progressive candidate for congress, spoke of the "living forces" in the Republican party as evidenced by the vote in the primary election for Charles W. Ackerson, can didate for Republican national com mitteeman, and pointed out that all the old reactionary forces, against which the progressives of the Repub lican party revolted, are back of Booth. Ackerson'e Motive High. Ife eulogized Mr. Ackerson. whom he declared had in good faith returned to the Republican party with a hope, of being an instrument for purging the larty, and said that Ackerson had on" Monday been a registered Progressive, on Tuesday a registered Republican and on Wednesday had announced him self a candidate for the chief political office of the party in. the state, that of Republican national committeeman. "From the standpoint of a standpat Republican," said Dr. Coe, "Mr. Ack erson had no right to a single vote for the office. From the standpoint of a patriot, a change of about 4000 votes would have elected hta. "With half the registered Repub licans voting, Mr. Ackerson received more than 32.500 votes in the Repub lican primaries, although in more than 200 papers in the state the Republicans warned tbe voters that an attempt was being made.; as they truthlessly stated, to scuttle the Republican party. Booth Uke Old Dog Tray. "If all the registered Republicans had voted. Ackerson, brave young fel low that he was, would have had 65,000 votes. This vote is the mobile vote of that party. "To this great army, through the present meeting, I desire to, send a word of greeting, and to tell such vot ers that the Progressives and the real progressive movement, is against the Republican candidate for United States senator. Booth. We stand for our own nominees, including those whom w have indorsed on the Repub lican and Democratic tickets, but we are especially -against the candidate of the Republican party for the United State senate. "He is a good man personally, bat he Is in bad company. Every interest In tho old combined party, against which the -Progressive party wars, is back of Booth. Bad business and bad politics have made him their candi date. Predatory wealth and wolfish politics back. him. Dr. Coe discussed other matters be fore yielding to -the chairman of the evening, and It was quite noticeable that he Btade no references which showed opposition to Senator Chamber lain. i ! Washington Candidate Praises Wilson. Ole Hanson, who devoted most of his talk to n appeal for support of progressive principles, praised Presi dent Wilson's peace policy, and de clared that modern civilisation de mands the abolition of warfare. Ha ridiculed Congressman Laff erty for not staying whipped after being defeated in the Republican primaries, as be bad professed to be a Republican. He made 'state development the is sue of the campaign. - .. -. "When a man buys school or other lands from the state let him enter into a contract to-develop., a -certain por tion of it and then you wiu find that the roan who-will bid on the land is the man who wants to use it. said Called to consider appointment of teachers for night schools the school board . yesterday afternoon referred the question to its teachers' commit tee with power to act and concluded its special session with an explosive altercation between Dr. E. A. Sommer, a board member, and Harry W. j-awKes. m wnlcn Dr. Sommer was saved from threat of bodily injury by the prompt intervention of R- H. Thomas, school clerk, and board members. The school board expects to build a school on Malone Heights and owns all but three lots of two blocks at Kast Thirtieth and Harrison streets. One of : the three lots belongs to Fawkes. He originally wanted J3000 for the lot which has a small house on it, the assumption of a $500 mort gage and relief from- Improvement as sessments. Hefuses to B tract. . After the board started condemns, tion ' proceedings Fawkes offered to sell at the board's price of SI 600 for the ' lot. At the meeting yesterday. Dr. Sommer made references to indi cate that Fawkes had boasted to his neighbors that he "skinned the school board" and that he. Dr. Sommer, had heard of it. Fawkes insisted that a gentleman would not make such assertions until he had heard both sides of the story. Sommer refused to retract. Fawkes waited, until ad journment and then waved his fists. inviting conflict. School Clerk Thom as collared him and with cooperation on the part of the board members ushered the belligerent from the room. He followed Dr. Sommer down the stairs but there were no blows, for he was again collared and held until Dr. Sommer had walked away. Outside students Issue. The board asked of the teachers' committee a recommendation in the matter of accepting as high school stu- dents those from outside the district but residing in the county, the tuition to oe paid out or the iund created by a tax of two-tenths of a mill which pro duced about $50,000. It was stated that the high schools are now so overcrowded that to admit students from outside the district is to displace those from within the district, that Washington high has overflowed into the old Hawthorne school and has taken out its cafeteria, that Jefferson high is already taxed beyond Its In tended capacity, that lockers have been taken out of Lincoln high school to make room, that Franklin high school is being conducted partly in Creston school, partly in the South Mount Tabor school and -partly in portables. It was also stated that whereas the law allows $12.50 for the tuition of student, the actual cost of instruction a year is $80, so that if there were only 100 students from outside, $1250 would be received, $8000 paid out, and the deficit be $6750. No Action Taken. No action was taken on a proposal by Superintendent Alderman which has been before the board for some time that Spanish be taught in tbe schools. To be consistent with the board' recent ruling that no day teachers be employed in night schools, J. V. FIke, who-teaches in Oak Grove and who i principal of the Sellwood night school, was asked to resign. Myrtle Gram was appointed a teacher at Fraier sehooL Glass blackboards were ordered Installed at the new Couch and Shat tuck schools. Domestic science courses were authorized at Kerns and Failing schools. .
