THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1917. H. C VORTMAN, HOME FROM EAST, REPORTS E BUSINESS PROSP ROUS Despite War, Country Is En : tering Era of Industrial C. Activity Unequaled. LIBERTY LOAN IN FAVOR treats Are Crowded With soldiers and Buds An flaying ZToxywnara Is Eastern Cities. Returning from a two months' busi ness visit in the east, H. C. Wortman, ; of, Olds, Wortman & King, Is convinced that the United States, despite the de vastation of war, is entering upon an era Of business prosperity unequalled in tho nation's Industrial history. "Conditions In the east are fairly good," Mr. Wortman said. "There Is some complaint of business In the re tail way, occasioned somewhat by the excessive amount of war talk and war preparation, but in the main I think the slowing up of retail business la due to untoward weather conditions Throughout the east they have had to contend with a good deal of the same 'Adverse weather conditions that havo oeen experienced here, and which has been, of course, more or less depress ing to the buying public. But with the advent of good weather I think ' business conditions will Improve and get back to normal. Tactorles Are Swamped. "So far as manufacturing and Job bing are concerned, war conditions af fect business favorably, and to such .n extent that It Is difficult to get manufacturers to promise delivery of orders placed with them. The gov ernment is taking all the manufactured product in sight In certain lines, and the manufacturer naturally has diffi culty in fulfilling his obligations to the merchants who have placed orders With him. "The financial situation is entirely normal, and for all legitimate pur poses, money can be had in plentiful supply. Of course, it must be under stood mat the great demand occa- DeWittl.

PAT I M 1 BE BASIS OF CONTROL OF FOOD HOOVER PLANS Regulating Powers Needed, He Says, to Force "Slack ers" or "Skunks" in Line, By Robert J. Bender. "Washington. June 9. (U. P.) Patri otlsm will be made the basis of food control during the war at the start. Autocratic measures, such as absolute price fixing and requisition, will not be utilized except as a last resort. From the farm to the kitchen, the regulation of prices and supply will be administered through voluntary agreement, according to the plans of Food Adminictrator Herbert Hoover. "Slackers" and "skunks," as Hoover terms those who might refuse to enter the proposed agreement, will be taken care of by powers to be authorised by congress.

Great clouds of smoke poured from the shaft, retarding the rescue work. Miners working an adjoining prop erty who were ordered to the surface immediately extended their efforts to the rescue of the imprisoned men. Men on the upper levels were able to escape before the deadly smoke fumes reached them. They formed rescue parties and attempted to go down into the depths, but were forced back by the smoke, many of them being overcome. Men Accounted for , The first statement regarding the disaster was given an hour after the holocaust started. L, D. Frlnk, superin tendent; N. D. Brawley, general mana ger of the shaft, and M. D. Conners, foreman of the Spectacular, said they could account for 213 out of 415 men who were ln the shaft when the fire started. When the fire cut off escape from the lower levels, between 40 and 60 men managed to escape by working their way through pitch dark under ground passages into the BaJger mine. adjoining, and coming out through its shaft. Scenes about the month of the wrecked mine were heartrending. Woman and Children Weep Groups of women and children had rushed down the hillside, many of them half clad, when the first news of the holocaust was brought to the surface. Guards prevented entrance to the gates at the mouth of the mine, and they collected outside, where they stood weeping all morning, while the rescuers worked. A long procession of emergency am bulances and hearses filed up the hill from Butte and filled the yards of the Speculator. The supply house was turned Into a morgue, and presented a grewsome spectacle, aa bodies were brought up from the smoke blackened pit and laid in long rows on benches. Where evidences of life were pres ent, rescue workers worked frantically to resuscitate the victims. Manager Braley personally headed a rescue -party which descended to the 700-foot level and assisted ln removing a number of bodies. Ulnar Saves Close Prlend. The most pathetic scenes attended the rescue work. Tears came to the eyes of onlookers when a miner who had escaped the fire, and arming himself with a hel met had joined the rescue forces, b rough the body of his partner and closest friend to the surface. His at tempts to resuscitate the man were in vain.

Two Trapped ln Cage An appalling sight was the crema tion of two men, Mike Conway and Pete Sheriden,- station tenders, who were trapped ln a double decked cage about 20 feet above the collar of the shaft. The flames were flying from the shaft like a gigantic torch around the cage, hung up when the fire dis arranged the hoisting machinery. It was within sight of rescue workers powerless to help and the unconscious men were charred to a crisp.

Lieutenant William Morhof f, U. S. N., now at sea on the Marblehead, and lis wife Ucraldine, began today a fight for tho custody of his 8-year-old daughter, Eleanor, by his first wife. The child is in Portland with her aunt. Her own mother died at her birth, and since then she has lived with her grandmother. Some months ago the grandmother died, and the aunt, a Mrs. Garrell, with her husband came here and secured the child's cus tody from Superior Judge Thomas Graham. Today Mrs. Morhoff filed a petition. signed by her husbandflto have the letters of guardianship granted to the aunt last February revoked. In the petition the lieutenant and his wife allege the custody was secured by the aunt through fraud, and with out their knowledge or consent. The child inherited some money from the grandmother, a fact which has recently come to light. Mrs. Morhoff Is the woman who was accused by the police three weeks ago of having shot her husband in the foot in order that he could not be sent to sea. This she denied today on the witness stand, declaring she had never admitted to the police that she shot her husband.
