' i JOINT COMMITTEE TO j INVESTIGATE NATIONAL ' COMMERCE CONDITIONS . Washington. Aug 5 A blff job has Been given to a joint committee of congress that will Investigate condi- ; tions of Interstate and foreign com- : rneree and the authority that should be vented In tho Interstate Commerce: Commission. I'renident Wilson sug- ' gested that It would be well to inves- ! tisate the whole question of extend-! . ing- railroad regulation and this com- i '- mittee is the outcome. .It will be composed of Senators! Newlands of Nevada, Robinson of Ar kansas. Underwood of Alabama r.,m. ! . mlns of Iowa, and Rramjeitee of Con f necticut. Representatives Adamson of V Georgia, Sims of Tennessee, 0illop of Indiana, Ksch of Wisconsin and Ham ; llton of Michigan. Senator Cummins , and Representative Tsch are expected to be especially active, because of their past activities in the same di rection. There has been a tendency in late ' years to pile more and more work on F the interstate commission, of a wlde- ly diverse character. Valuation of '.-mil the roads of the country was i na of the big tasks given a few years ago, and the fixing of railway mall "vpay, which proved too distressing for - congress to settle this year, was passed on to the commission. The regulation of railroad securities And investigation of wage disputes are " other things on the horizon and be " yond these the regulation of public "utilities and of water lines of tranc- portation. ';- Bome senators express belief that l railroad recognition itr "breaking .down," or at least not achieving the results that ought to come. The joint committee will be expected to tell .'congress whether the duties of the J commission should be extended or Any radical departures made. C00S BAY CLAIMS FOR ? SUBMARINE BASE NOT . : ' RECEIVED WITH FAVOR . Washington. Aug. 5. Secretary Dan .." iel of the navy department displays no enthusiasm over the suggestion of Va survey to determine the suitability Of Coos BayOr.. as a site for a sub ; marine base. Officials of the port of Coos Bay recently proposed that when Jan' investigation is made Into the .--matter by experts, that port be not is overlooked. ."The department has not at this time any intention of establishing a ' base in the vicinity of Coos Bay." says : the secretary in commenting on the ELL-ANS Absolutely Removes Indigestion.

"The department's recommendations to congress In reference to the loca tion and establishment of bases of various types are based on the recom mendation of the general board s strat egical studies, which determines the desirable locations of such bases, ar.d naturally they are limited to as few as possible on account of their great expense, both for their original estab lishment and continuing expense of maintenance. The department is familiar from the charts wllh the conditions at Coos Bay." Johnson in Good Position. Washington, Aus. C. Representa tive Albert Johnson of Washington in his campaign for renominatlon is plac ing particular emphasis upon the fa vorable position he claims he will oc cupy in the nxt house if that body has a Republican majority. Through rapid changes in the RcpubMcan mem bership of the committee on Immigra tion, Hayes of California Is the only Republican who ranks him on that body, and it is assumed that Hayes would prefer to be chairman of bank ing and currency, where he stands at the flead of the Republican list, leav ing Johnson, in the natural order of thlnus, the chairman of immigration. The Immigration coinmiitee has been .one of importance for several sessions, because of the struggle over the pending immigration bill and the literacy test. If the present congress disposes of this bill or the next house is I emo'ratlc, the advantage of John son's position will be lessened or lost. New Postmasters Appointed. Washington. Aug. E.

SPOKANE RATE CASE TO BE TAKEN UP AT T 14 Railroads and Coast Shippers Cited to Appear Before the Commerce Commission, Railroads as well as Pacific coast shippers will come before the Inter state Commerce commission, August 14. in connection with the Spokane rate case hearing. A telegram received by the Portland Traffic and Trans portation association from (J. B. Mc Ginty, secretary uf tne commission, reads: "Hearing assigned August 14 in Washington to hear objections to and explanations of proposed transcon tinental rate." The objections have feen filed by the shippers' organizations of -the Pacific coast, as is their right when rates are increased, and responsibility rests upon the carriers to explain certain Increase in their tariffs as made under authority of the intermountaln rate order or the Interstate Commerce com mission. For instance, the 40.000 pounds .carload 'minimum allowed Spo kane and the 70,000 pound carload min imum Imposed on Pacific coast points in order to get the carload rate. One of the first steps in the fight against the Increases in transconti nental rates under the Spokane rate decision will be an effort to Induce the Interstate Commerce commission to hold the hearing on the Pacific coast. This was urged in a telegram from San Francisco shippers yesterday evening. Seattle. Tacoma, Portland, San Francisco and otner terminals will stand together In protest against the rate and in demand for a Pacific coast hearing. J. H.

PROGRESSIVES ASKED TO VOTE FOR WILSON IE OF Chairman of National Demo cratic Committee Wires to Party in California, New York. Aug. 5. (I. N. S.) Chairman Vance C. McCormlck of tho rational Democratic committee, has wired an appeal for Bull Moose aid for Wilson to the Progressives of Cali fornia. Expressing his regret that he could not participate in the Woodrow Wil son independent Progressive confer ence set for San Francisco Saturday, Chairman McCormick telegraphed President Joseph S. Thompson: "Permit me to call your attention td Woodrow Wilson's definition of a pro gressive given by him in an address before the Kansas Society of New York, January 29, 1911. before the Progressive party was brought Into being. Then Governor Wilson of New Jersey said 'By radical, I under- stand one who goes too far, by ccn servative one who does not go tar enough, by reactionary, one who won't go at all. I suppose I must be a progressive which 1 take to be one who insists on recognizing new facts, fdjusting policies to facts and circum stances as they arise.' Wilson and Progresslvaism. "This spirit of progresslveism has actuated all of Woodrow Wilson's public service. Under his administra tion the major part of the program proposed in the Progressive national platform of 1312 has been enacted into law. 'Invisible government,' which is now making desperate efforts to 'come back,' was driven from power by his administration and -will have no place In Washington so long ai he is in the 'White House. "The Democratic party welcomes the support of all independent citizens who share its ideals and purposes. To the men and women of California represented at your conference, it suo mits itself on its record as the one available instrumentality for progres sive service." Wilson Strong In Maine. Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant sec retary of the navy, stopped to call on McCormick on his way to Washington from Maine. "Mains is normally a Republican state." he said, "but from present In dications the president will receivs such a great number of Republican and Progressive votes that he will come very close to carrying it, if he does not actually do so by a substan tial majority. I was surprised at the number of people in Maine who felt Hughes' speech of acceptance was wholly inconclusive." Representative Alfred G. Alien of Ohio who has also toured Mains said: A P IE pageant of oldf n days. Boys Are Included fn 16-Year-01d Law Attorney General Brown Informs Mrs. Millie X. Trumbull, Portland, That Bill Was Hot Meant for Girls Only. Salem, Or., Aug. B.

President Gaining in Ohio. "How about Ohio? Both Senator Pomerene and Governor Cox will be re elected. The president Is stronger than he was six months ago Hughes and the Republicans have presented only one criticism. They favor destruction Instead of construction." After a talk with National Commit teeman Norman F. Mack, of New York, Chairman McCormick said he would go to Washington tomorrow and see the president. His campaign committee may be revised on his return. The chairman declined to say whether Mr. Mack will be a member of it. "The Indiana Progressive meet ins turned down Hughes and de cided on not running- a third ticket; therefore' the deduction is plain that the Progressives are for Wilson," Democratic National Chair man McCormick said. "The Progressives refused to halter themselves." "' - ' . r s - - - MUST RUN FOR OFFICE WITHOUT PARTY'S AID Either of Two Methods May Be Followed by Candi dates for the State Senate. No way, it appears. Is provided In the election laws for filling a vacancy as has occurred through the resigna tion of George M. McBrlde as state senator for Clackamas, Columbia and Multnomah counties, according to Dis trict Attorney Walter H. Evans, who rummaged through the election laws yesterday in an effort to find an an swer to the question put to him by a reporter for The Journal. But common sense dictates that the vacancy must be filled and Mr. Evans decided that undoubtedly two wys would be open for a person to get his name on the general election ballot as a candidate for the Joint senatorship. Two Methods Are Available. One of these will be by nomination by an assembly of 100 or more elec tors of the senatorial district and the other by petition of not less than 3 per cent of the voters in the district. Candidates thus nominated, however will be required to run as independents. Mr. Evans said he could find no pro visions in the law which would make it possible for a candidate to be placed on the ballot as a party nominee. The contention has been advanced that it would be necessary for the gov ernor to call a special election to fill the vacancy. To substantiate this claim, section 3431 of the statutes has been cited. Section 3431 Doesn't Apply. That section provides that when a vacancy occurs in the senate "and a session of the legislature is to take place before the next biennial election, the governor shall issue a writ of election directed to the sheriff of the county," etc. Mr. Evans pointed out that this sec tion applies only when a session of the legislature is to be held before the next biennial election and does not fit the present case. There is no limit to the number of candidates who may have their names placed on the ballot by complying with one of the two methods pointed out Senator McBrlde resigned in order to accept an independent nomination for county Judge in opposition te George Tazwell, the Republican candidate. Noyon Is Raided by French Air Fleet Paris. Aug. 6. (I. N. S.) Announce ment of a French air raid upon mili tary works at Noyon was made In the official communique Issued Friday.

Fifty shells were thrown upon other railway stations and camps in the Somme region." W A -JCu. r Portland children brought the dances and songs of Shakespearean days closer to the present century yesterday. In the pageant presented at Peninsula Park. The parts were played by children of the Peninsula Park playgrounds, trained by J. Lee Thompson, director of the public playgrounds, and Mrs. Eleanor Sanford-Large, . E. Murphy, Miss Marion Allhands and Miss Jessie Thayer. That the pageant was a great suc cess was evident from the rapt atten tion with which the thousands pres ent gazed on the froliclng of the Pic turesquely garbed children. The pageant opened with a grand march led by Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Sanford-Large. The prologue was delivered by Mrs. Sanford-Large and the dancing then commenced. The first number was the dance of "The Seven Jumps," ludicrous but gracefully executed. The boy dancers, garbed as knights of ancient days, staged a tilting match so well exe cuted that many wondered if indeed there were not ill feeling. The feature dance was probably the Witch dance, In which a bevy of pretty little mlsse portrayed the fabled an tics of "the old witch who rode on a broom." This dance was greatly en Joyed. Three more excellent dancing numbers completed the program. The cast of characters was as fol lows: Herald, Queen Cheadle: Master Sky lark (Nicholas Attwood), Floretta Lowlt; Mr. Attwood (father of Mas ter Skylark), Tolnie West; Mrs. Att wood (mother of Master Skylark), Carrie Qlttlngs; Master-Player (Gaston Carew), Annie McLelland; Cicely (Mr. Carew's daughter).
