Vters, a Portland man with a farm near Dallas.. ICo Traee of Misting Mother The finding of an empty boat and a , note purporting to be from the ' young ' couple, near Tillamook, led to the theory that Mrs. Graham and VlerS had met , their death at sea. but this was dls i counted later when the fact was estab lished that the note was written by a , young girl. No trace thus far has been I- found of either Mrs. Graham or Vlers, j although the woman's husband has lol ! lowed every clue that has presented Itself. Shortly before the accident last even " in sr.

GRILLING OF BAKER DEVELOPS INTO FARCE 1 (Continued from Pe One) only 1,100.000 tons of shipping In all, but Bks did. not comment. Hllchcock, however, pressed his ques tion regarding tonnage, asking- the sec retary what basis he had for believing the department could transport 1,500, 000 men to France during; 118. ; Esglasd Hay Lead, Tonnage Baker reiterated., that 500,000 men would be sent to France by spring-. He did reveal for the first time that this government was not relying en tirely upon its own ships to transport them, but "upon certain international arangements." It Is believed that Great Britain has agreed to burnish a huge amount of tonnage for shipping supplies and men. Beyond this, Baker would not go Into Open session and efforts by Senator Hitchcock to press for the information were refused. This afternoon Senator Chamberlain decided to ask Baker to appear Thurs day morning- with General Wheeler and other officers, prepared to give detailed n formation on tonnaee. men and sud- Iplies. ; in response -to Questions bv Senstor MeKellar as to the supply of artillery In camps and cantonments. Baker said that national guard battery units had been 40 per cent equipped with guns. ,ii varies rrom 80 per cent at Camp Bowie to 100 per cent at Camo Han cock." said Baker. The national army artlllerv units are being equipped with sufficient guns for training purposes, be added. owiicntng to the Question of army supplies, MeKellar wanted to know why certain contracts had been kept secret. jwy military associates thought It best not to divulge this information. aia miter. "Decause it mlsrht Invite a campaign of sabotage. Our contracts were not secret.. The only thing- we prevented was publication in the news papers or their information." A list was published in the official bulletin." commented Senator Weeks. "when the fuel order was issued.' I think that highly improper." iJaker reiterated under auestloninsr that "there is not now a single soldier In a single camp who Is not adeauatelv supplied with sufficient clothing to keep mm warm." There Is some lack of woolen uniform coats yet. Baker admitted. Senator New read a. letter-, iisvinr at Fort Benjamin Harrison there was a large oversuimly of shoes, hut woolen linlfornr.s were 650 short and with ship ments in transit there would only be enough for one suit per man. Walsworth asked Baker whether there vas any legislation he thought neces sary to remove hampering regulations and departmental restrictions. "It seems to mc there are many check balances for efficient work," he said. Baker replied after a pause that the president, of course, had been given rein to act as exigencies arose. Cheeks on Big Funds Necessary , "I am not so sure that there are too many restrictions," he said. "We are dealing with tremendous sums of money and it needs much wfsdjem." He said, however, that he would ask the war council of the department if it could recommend any such legislation. Frelinghuysen asked why bodies of soldiers who die at camps in this coun- 'ui" "u in sneets as report ea. he said, in letters from soldiers' families. Baker said that orders were that bodies should be sent home in uniform unless the man died of contagious dis ease. In such event his body being wrappea in a disinfecting sheet. Members headed by Wadsworth here turned to Baker's anointment of E. R. Stettlnlus as surveyor of supplies. They tried to get the secretary to admit Stet tlnlus' position is "purely advisory." Organization Already Built Up. j Baker retorted it "was not fair" to say it was only advisory, because Stettlnlus with Baker's consent "has full power to coordinate production and distribu tion of army supplies and determines priority of supply within the" army." ' Queried by Weeks, as to his attitude on the proposed munitions ministry. Baker thought it would be "exceeding ly unwise" to destroy 'the elaborate or ganizations built up by the several sep arate war Drancnes in lavor or a cen tral munitions post. The war industries war board, he continued; supplies a needful coordinating body. Senator MeKellar objected that the war industries board is purely advisory and is without legal authority to en force what its best judgment dictates. FreltnghuyBen asked if E. R. Stettln lus wasn't In reality i a munitions di rector within the war department. : "He is more than that, Baker re plied, "because he has control of many more things than a munitions director. "Nothing could be more unfortunate, however." he continued, "than to cre ate now a central munitions director which would infringe on the present war branches." HUNS WANT PEACE OR MOVE FOR PETROGRAD (Continued front Pace Oct) Poles, TJkralnans, Don Cossacks, Rou manians and Tartars, r T Hard fighting Is reported from Se- bastopol. the chief Crimean port on the Black Sea. Tartar troops that had captured Yalta, 32 miles southwest of Sebastopol, moved on the port city, but the Bolshevik forces gave battle. " The Bolshevik garrison at Kiev is reported to have been defeated by Ukrainans and the city is now believed to be in the hands of the XJkralnan soldiery.

Hltobeock After Seerets A strong move to throw the hearings Into executive session developed at the outset of the hearing. Reed and Kirby demanded that confidential data, which the committee, wants, should be given in secret session. By shortly after 10 o'clock the com mittee room was crowded, a majority f the audience being women. Senator Hitchcock objected to the se cret session, saying It was only fair to the secretary and to the public and to the country that Baker's answers to "our searching questions" be spread broadcast. Baker supported the secret session, declaring "the misfortune of my first appearance If it can be termed a mis fortunelay largely in the fact that I attempted to give a general perspective of the whole field of war work without supporting It with specific figures. I . think these should be given to the com mittee only In executive session." .. Committee members then launched in to discussion of American shipping re sources. Shipping Flgsres Demanded ' Weeks attempted to draw from Baker figures as to the tonnage now at the disposal of the war department for troon and supply transport. Baker did not have this Information, he said, but "can eive it to the senator later." "I understand ' the - department' has 791.000 tons" said Weeka w "I think that is under-estimating it,' replied Baker. ' Hitchcock interposed that his informa tion was that the United States had Cocoantt Oil Fine For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair In good condition, be careful what you wash It -with. , Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain, too much alkali.

Fall. The body lines 'are , slightly changed, not extreme, but sufficiently different, so as to never appear commonplace. Rich, quiet colors and fittings of exquisite design characterize the interiors. There is none of the sluggishness in Hudsons so generally found in cars of the closed type.
