Again today silvage men are doubtful whether the Japanese liner Canada Maru, which went ashore at the entrance to Puget Sound, Tuesday, can be saved. Two 10 Inch 'pumps are working constantly in an effort to get the watee out of the wrecked Teasel, but no progress has been made. Ten feet of water stands in hold No. 2 and the cross bulkheads are leaking. Great quantities of the cargo haTe been thrown overboard and a small f leet of tugs and ' scows hovers near, but owing; to the heavy sea It is almost Impossible for small craft to get along side the vessel. 'A 16 rajUe wind and rain that prevailed last night added to the salvage difficulties. The vessel was caught in the danger ous currents off the entrance to Puget Sound and driven onthe rocks,' where scores ot vessels have, been wrecked. i I HONOR SYSTEM" "There Is No Honor Among Thieves," Declares thief, Speaking of Convicts. Salem, Or.. Aug. 2. After giving ex cression to his conclusions that "the hon or system" and trusty system at the state penitentiary, as conducted during mree years he has been in office, are failures. Governor Withycombe announced today, however, that no change will be made in the present policy at the prison until he can make certain recommendations to the next legislature for providing em ployment for convicts inside the prison walls under guard. He expressed the deepest sympathy for Warden Murphy, who has shown leniency to convicts in the endeavor to win them by gentle treatment, while convicts- who have, received favors are listed among those who have escaped. Would Keep 31 en Within Walls Governor Withycombe declares "there is no honor among thieves," and that the majority of , the men committed to prison are not fit to be extended leniency and should be kept closely guarded with in the prison walls. Several weeks ago, when guards were quitting their Jobs at the penitentiary by the wholesale, they gave as one of their reasons that the prison manage ment was so lax with the convicts that it was unsafe for a guard to be Inside the prison walls alone". In an effort to establish some form of self government among the prisoners, Warden Murphy permitted an organiza tion of what was kiiown as the Murphy Honor Jodge. Through that lodge it is reported prisoners have- been allowed largely to control the Internal affairs at the prison. Warden Murphy Too Lenient Not long ago, when Warden Murphy visited the convict wood camp, the con victs playfully arrested htm; held a kangaroo court and fined him two gal lons of ice' cream, which fine be Is re ported to .have paid. This is a mere illustration of the leniency Warden Mur phy has permitted in his effort to win favor and the better side of the men. Those who have criticised the war den charge that he has been too lenient and has lost discipline, and tha;. this accounts for many escapes. But Governor Withycombe attributes conditions at the penitentiary to the failure of the honor and Irusty systems themselves and will ask the legislature to paovide a substitute in the way of employment inside the prison walls. Mackensen Spoken of As CWef of Staff Rome, Aug. 2. (I. N. S.) Field Mar shal von Mackensen has teen summoned to German great headquarters, giving rise to the report that he may succeed Field Marshal von Hindenburg as chief of. staff of the German army, according to the Berne correspondent of the Glornale D'ltalla, today.

But the Importers of a community may or ganize, pledging themselves first of all to have all import shipments forwarded In bond, and then arrange between themselves for a joint representative at the port of entry. A number of Portland Importers were interviewed recently. A department store head said that he simply - hadn't thought of the community importance of clearing our imports through the lo cal customs house, but that he would join in any community plan to see that this district got the credit of his busi ness.
