MAY Chamber of Commerce to In I nvestigate Starling Method, J Whirls Said to Produce i; Results Without Retting. Inventor 'Will Go Easf in Few ; Days and Representative t- of Chamber Will Go Over i- Every Step of Production. ' ; The Chamber of Commerce will In vestigate Immediately the practicability of the Starlinr method of flax manu facture, according to a decision reached by President H. It. Corbett and Kxecu live Secretary W. D. B. Dodson of the chamber in conference, with J. Sidney Starling, the Inventor, and Dr. E. A. Pierce, chairman of the chamber's nax Committee. " Mr. Starling, who haa been In Oregon for the past' six months and who has made' three visits to the state from his , home in Tonawanda. New York, during the past year, left for the east last evening. He will either be fol- , lowed within a few days by a represen tative of the chamber competent to ; make the investigation or selection will be, made of two to three eastern experts to follow every step of the process. . Oregen Flax Excellent ' The process-invented by Mr. Starling is claimed to make it possible to take unretted flax and from it produce yams, floss and fabrics. He has . had on exhibit here an assortment of yarns, crash toweling and other forms of coarser flax fabric, as evidence that k Is process is practicable. V Should the report be favorable the Chamber will be in a position to sub mit. the plan to the flax interests as to What will probably prove to be an im portant supplemental Industry to the growing flax. Mr. Starling, whose Knowledge of flax Is recognized by bfflclals both of the United States and Canadian departments of agriculture, says there is no doubt that Western Oregon and Washington can produce mm fine fiber flax as is grown any where In the world. , Will Make Ko Difference In a preliminary conference ' at the Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday even ing, representatives of owners of a mohair mill at Sell wood were present. With the addition of his patents to the machinery in the ' now idle mill, Mr. 8tarllng believes it can be readily adapted to - his process, also that the waters of .Johnson creek, which are carried by flume to the property, can be .used for retting long fiber flax. The owners, however, refuse to agree to 1 hold the plant in statu quo Until the investigation of the process can be ' made, but this refusal, it was decided. will have no effect on the decision to conduct a thorough investigation of the Starling method. State Hotel Men to Meet Dec. 6-7-8 purveyors Will Be Given Opportunity to Make Display of Wares Hotel Men Coming From AU Pacific States.. The annual convention of the Oregon State Hotel association will be held in Portland Thursday, Friday and Satur day, December 6, 7, 8. This convention will bring hotel men from the entire Pacific coast. In connection with the convention it is proposed to hold an exposition at which all purveyors to hotels will be permitted to make displays. This is the first time anything of this kind has been attempted on the Pacific coast. This space will cost the exhib itors nothing but the expense attendant upon putting in and maintaining their booth, and will afford the dealers an opportunity to get their goods before the hotel men of the ejatire Pacific coast. K. E. Larimore, manager of the Hotel Oregon, who Is the chairman of the program committee for the convention. has the exposition in charge. Marines Eecruit 2 Former College Men Manning brothers, former students of Mt. Ansel college and stars of the foot ball eleven, have Joined the "Soldiers of the Sea." Cyril C.

Prisoner to Be Sent : Back to No. Dakota PORTLAND IS LITTLE AFFECTED BY NEW ALIEN sf ENEMY RULE iOrder Will Necessitate An- other.Registration; Permits to Be Issued, ' President Wilson's new proclamation designed to place greater restrictions upon alien enemies residing in . the United States will have but little effct in Portland and the state of Oregon, according to UrAted States Attorney Clarence L. Reames. The order will necessitate another- registration of the enemy alien class, however, and it is ex pected that this work will be started about December 1. , In accordance with the president's proclamation of April 6, approximately all enemy aliens in Oregon have been registered. One thousand persons have come under this class, the larger num ber of which are residing in Portland. "The new proclamation is issued to safeguard the government against com mission of wrongful acts by enemy aliens and the rule applies chiefly to New York, New Orleans. San Fran cisco, Chicago and Seattle," Mr. Reames said. Mast Have Passes ! "Under the terms of the proclamation it will be necessary for every enemy alien to possess a registration card, and passes must be obtained before such persons can travel from one place to another. "The proclamation places restrictions In charge by the bureau of investiga tion and after an inquiry haa been made the person will be referred to the United States attorney - who is empowered to issue cards and permits. " Under the former proclamation enemy aliens were prohibited from approach ing to within a half mile of the armory In Portland, without a permit.- Portland Is Third in Eecruiting for Navy Enlistments Last Week Total lit While Sew Tork Is Able to Report Only 1; Cooks and Stewards Wanted. Portland ranked third In navy recruit ing last week. New , York city was able to announce only 15 enlistments. Port land had 81 for the regular service, or a total of 150 including the reserves. ' Dr. E. 1c Scott of the local navy re cruiting office announces his indigna tion at the term "trench dodgers" that is. being used in some places to desig nate the navy recruits. "This war can not be carried on withouf men to man the hundreds of ships which carry men. food and ammunition to Europe. Full crews are absolutely necessary and the men wlio have responded to the call of the navy are doing aa much as men in the trenches. The life is more protected and more pleasant but the responsibil ity is as great." The navy is now open for enrollment of cooks and stewards. Men for guard duty on both merchant vessels and transports to form gun crews are needed. Number of British Enlisting Increases BRASS BUTTONS AND CAP; FOR JOE DAY; HELMETS FOR OTHERS , . 1 Six Members of Detective Bureau Reduced to Uni form Rank of Department.

Other restrictions are Imposed." A strict interpretation of the procla mation would mean, for instance, that an enemy alien could not even cross any of the bridges in the business and industrial sections of Portland. Mr. Reames explains that this phase can be adjusted satisfactorily by the issu ance of permits. The permits will be issued following the registration of the individual. How te Apply Applications of enemy aliens must be made first to the United States mar shal. The applicant will then be taken llstments increases dally. For th- week, ending November 17 the follow ing men passed the medical examina tion and were accepted for service in the British and Canadian armies : ' Portland W. J. Edmonds, Victor Robson, W. F.

Agent Disappears; ' Spies Are Suspected iftw Yorker la Chicago to Interest Manufacturing Concerns in Govern ment Construction Project, Disappears. Chicago, Nov. 21. (I. N. S.) Fred erlck Rlsden Moore of New York city, confidential agent of Flint Co., whe is said to have come to Chicago to interest a number of manufacturing concerns in the project of building ships for the government, has disap peared. He haa not been seen since last Wednesday, and Chicago detec tives have been asked by his employers and his family in New York to search for him. Moore ' had about $900 with him and a quantity of Jewelry, which he left at his hotel here. That German spies may have had something to do with his disappearance is the belief of E. A. Burrows of the United Engineering company, who - had several conferences with Moore.

Such' a step was held by many to be es i sentlal If the nation la to thwart Teuton ' spies. As matters now stand,' only Ger mans must register and only they are J forbidden ' to trespass in barred sones about waterfronts and the like. Austrians have been among the worst offenders in spying and intriguing. Ef fectively to cope with the trouble, many are urging this government to declare war against Austria. The possibility that she may make the first move be cause of American aid to Italy waa also foreseen. The president's proclamation requir ing German subjects to register, driv ing them from the District of Columbia and the Panama canal none and creating barred sones about war property, opens the way for removing many spies. But authorities suggested there Is nothing to prevent these men turning their work over to Austrians. Military men be lleve in martial law for barred sones and summary disposal ef a few spies as a .restraining lesson. - Mrs. Dorothea S.
