Ford of Stayton. Or., left Camp Lewis where lie spent several months as a T. M. C JL sec retary, to go overseas for the associa tion, he hardly expected to see any active service, as that term applies .to the fighting man. He went as a non- combatant "T" worker, ready to "do his bit" In any contingency that might arise. behind the lines or right up under the noses of the enemy Huns in the front line -trenches, serving chocolate- and other comforts to the boys in kahki. But fate was kind to. Burgess Ford at least so he explains the chance that placed him in a front line trench in the St. Mchiel sector at -the "zero" hour, It was the most natural thing In the world, so he says, to go "over" with the boys In their advance against the enemy, and whether natural or not he happened to find himself armed with a deadly automatic which was hardly according to the rules of the army. .But having gone over the top and with the feel of a "gat" in his right hand he forgot for the time being that he was a non-combatant "Y" worker and proceeded to hold up hie share of the argument.. So ably did Ford perform and to such good purpose did be wield his auto matic that the army authorities saw fit to cite him for bravery In actionone of. the 30 Y. M. C. A. men so honored. He was also in the Argonne drive 'and after the armistice followed the army Into Germany. Ford, who is In Portland today oft his way home from Europe, is scheduled-to tell of his experiences In France at a meeting in the auditorium of the X M. C. A. Sunday afternoon at 3 :30 o'clock, Walter R. Jenkins, but recently added to the association's staff as a song lead er, will lead a song program at this meeting to which the .public is invited.

As the result of the recent police raid of Chinese gambling dens 11 Celestials must spend 30 days in the city Jail, ac cording to the decision rendered this morning by Circuit Judge Robert Tucker, before whom the cases were taken on appeal' from the municipal court. Those found guilty and sentenced were: Ah Chin, Phillip John, John Long. Charlie Iee, Ah Fung, - Charles le. Ah Chlng, Jung Wing Hong,. Lee Duck, Ha Chin and Ah Louie. The case against Charlie Law was dismissed by Judge Tucker for lack of sufficient evi dence. War Lee. a juvenile, also found guilty, was turned over to the juvenile court. Attorney Fred L. Olson, representing Jung Wing Hong, urged upon the court that this being tne nrst otiense oi m client as well ; as the others, that leni ency should be extended them, that a Jail sentence should not be imposed and that they be let off with a moderate fine. Deputy City Attorney Edwin Lansing, who prosecuted the cases, argued that the way to suppress gambling was to suppress It by the imposition of a pen alty that would cause the Chlneee to sit up and "take notice. "And what better opportunity," he asked, "could present iBlf than that run in hand with 11 gamblers adjudged guilty and standing before the bar of justice awaiung sen tence?" Judge Tucker said that the imposition of a fine, merely, would do very little to suppress the evil.

TVVOHY BROS.' MOTION DENIED Suit Over Ochoro Irrigation T. Project 1o B Heard in Portland. An Important decision, confining to one court the litigation begun by Twohy Brothers company against the Ochoco Irrigation district, the American Surety company and Clark, Kendall Co.. was handed down by Circuit Judge Tucker this morning when he denied the motion submitted by Walace McCamant to strike out the plaintiff a entire complaint and oblige it to start anew by filing three .separate suits. To have sustained the motion. Judge Tucker said, would have made it neces sary to try an important part os tne matter in Prlneville at a great expense and inconvenience, considering that the parties all lived here. The Twohy Brothers are seeking to have canceled a contract entered Into with the irrigation district ,to build a dam and Irrigation canal on the ground that they took on the work under al leged misrepresentations by the en gineers who they say represented that a large quantity of gravel necessary in the' work was accessible in a hill near at hand. The bill contained no gravel, the contractors assert and they were obliged' to go some distance at a great expense, to get It- , They performed " part of the work to the extent of $598,000, they assert, of which $302,000 only ha been paid. They demand the difference on a quantum meruit basis. Judge Tucker ruled hat" the proceed ing was one in .equity'' for the cancela tion of the contract and that the whole matter could property be tried out in this court- Desertion Is, Alleged Declaring that Ruth Crosbte whom he married in Bseatawpa, Miss., in Septem ber, 1898, had .deserted him three times and on one occasion stayed a ay 15 months.

FIGURES TO STAND FOR 1919 No Wage Reductions' to Be Made Except in Small Mills Operat ing Now Under Sliding Scale. Washington, March 21. (U. Y.) Low er steet prices are expected today as a result of agreement between the indus trial board .of the department of com merce and 15 steel kings. The agree ment follows a two-day -conference. - New. prices announced thus far show a reduction of from 25 to 35 per cent from the prices agreed upon by the war Industries board and the steel industry for the last quarter of 1918.

A complete schedule of the revised steel prices is being withheld until after a conference of the industrial board and the steel kings with Attorney. General Palmer. At this time a definite opinion, will be sought as to whether any part of the new agreement with the steel In terests can be construed as a violation of anti-trust laws. Seek tA Stabilize Market Agreement regarding lowered steel prices is the result of the industrial board's first effort to bring down and stabilise war prices. Its success in dicates there- will be little difficulty en countered in -lowering prices of other commodities by similar methods. Coincident with the lowering of steel prices, the steel- interests are under stood to have entered into a gentlemen's agreement to maintain these prices dur ing 1919, so the world's business will ge ahead and net wait in hope of further steel price reduction. . Steel men have also promised to make no wage reduc tions except in some mills where there are contracts between employers and employes providing the sliding scale, ac cording to R E Gray, spokesman for the steel men. Reductions Are Announced The prices bo far announced by the conference are : Basic pig iron reduced to $25.75 per gross ton, $4.25 reduction), four inch billets to $28.50 gross ton. two Inch bil lets to $42 gross ton, merchant bar to $3.35 hundredweight, plate to $2.65 hundredweight, sectional steel to $2.45 hundredweight.' The reduction on billets amounts to $5 per gross ton, while on bars, plate and structural steel, the reduction is $7 per net ton.
