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.

"Thousands of Americans were in
Germany and Austria. Thousands of
the subjects of the warring nations
were. In the same two countries and

"The legation staff was swamped
from tho outset.
."Refugee flocked into Holland and
wantsd t get home. Letters and tele

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

"Charles H. Sherrell, another high

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. - .. -.

lands from the state let him enter into

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

gage and relief from- Improvement as

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

(Special to The Tonrnal.)
Hood River. Or Oct. 7. The "pool
room ordinance," which has been the
subject of a strenuous debate and con
test the past several months, provid
ing for open poolrooms, bowling alleys
and kindred amusement places, on
Sunday, was passed at last night's
session of the council by a vote of
twer ' against and four in favor, those
voting for the "open town" being
Councilmen Castner, Stranahan, Cul
bertson and Bell. Those against were
Councilmen Scobee and Fran.
A petition containing approximately
200 names was presented to the coun
cil protesting against the passage of
the ordinance. Rev. W. B. Young, pas
tor of the First Methodist Episcopal
church, took the floor in behalf of the
several church organizations of the
city, asking that the ordinance be defeated.
Councilman C A. BeTI, chairman of
the finance committee, said that at
the present rate of expenditure by the
city it would require a 20 mill tax
levy next year to meet the city's obli
gations, and that next year at this
time the city would be In debt in the
sum of $40,000.
Suit was filed by the property own
ers on East State street enjoining the
city from the levy and collection of
assessments against their property It
is contended by the plaintiffs that
their property was not benefited by
the Improvements on this part of the
street. .

Hood River merchants were per

Fire Confined to Basement.
Fire, which apparently started from
an overheated furnace, did approxi
mately $500 damages to furniture
stored in the basement of the Hislop
apartments, 287 East Sixth street,
and to the building itself, about 11
o'clock this morning. Smoke in the
basement made the fighting of the
fire difficult, but it was confined to
the basement. Mrs. S. E. Miller, owner
of the house, was the loser.
