THE OREGON-'-.DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, TUESDAY. MAY 6. 1310. 7 OVERSUBSCRIPTION MAY BE MILLION Last Moment Rush Piled Things Up for Tabulators, but Re ' .. suit Expected Today. V Because of the rush of Victory XJberty loan subscriptions that represent the re sponse of Portland people to the plea for eleventh hour protection from defeat In the last war financing, echeme con siderable difficulty is being encountered in tabulating the oversubscription to the Portland and Oregon loan quotas. . ' Today the corns of accountants that is at work on the figures expects to have a definite statement as to .the total of the subscriptions, but advances an esti mate that puts the oversubscription at very nearly $1,000,000. Saturday - saw bona buying activity concentrated, and during the hours that banks and Victory hut remained open to accommodate belated purchasers several hundred, thousand dollars of Portland money was put into the national war . chest. - Victory hut alone. Willis Clarke, secretary of the Portland campaign com mittee estimates, sold $270,000 worth of bonds to a steady "stream" of buyers that crowded into the hut until 10 o'clock Saturday night. STATE OUTSIDE WELL OVER The state outside Portland remains high above its quota, and complete fig ures have not yet been received from several counties. The totai will prob ably be Increased considerably over the 9177,97a that was last reported. "With the wonderful showing Portland ' made on. the final day of the campaign the oversubscriptions of the state as a whole are- expected to go approximately to 91,000,000. . Oregon Victory loan officials propose to press theif claim' for "Oregon first" honors against Michigan , and Iowa, 'It was said today, until the treasury de partment gives Oregon her Just credit for the showing the state has made or proves to the satisfaction of officials that banks in Michigan and Iowa did not underwrite the quotas of those states. It is believed that the banks in those states, which claim first and second place and leave the third place for Ore gon, have merely guaranteed tha the state quotas will be subscribed, but that the actual subscriptions have not yet met the apportionment of the states. If this, belief is verified. Oregon will be entitled to first place among the states because of 'the fact - that this state was the first in which actual sub scriptions from the people bought bonds enough to meet the full qlota. MAT BE ACCEPTED Although the treasury department an nounced that over-subscriptions would r.ot be accepted in the Victory Liberty loan, it is probable that those states whose subscriptions are more jthan their quotas will go toward balancing the states which fall short of the quotas asked of them, thus making the full amount of the Victory loan no more than' was asked for Committees and : special bureaus en gaged In the Oregon and the Portland Victory loan cknvass are clearing away their, desks and completing the details of their work, preparatory to disorgan ization, v A ?. few .stragglers purchased bonds through Portland banks and at Victory hut, Monday, but the sales will not add appreciably to the city or state quotas. Banks .And- other Bales agencies will remain open for bond sales, until the national drive closes on May 10, and in the . meantime all purchasers will be welcomed, loan officials announce.. Value of $185,761. Put by Appraisers ..

' Liberty bonds of the second and third issues to the amount of 910.000 and of the fourth issue to the amount of $10,250, were - listed among the assets.

May 6. Preparations lor shearing; lambs on tke curb market by baiting with fake "oil finds" near large productive gushers brought from As sistant District Attorney, Waugh. who has been investigating transactions in volving more ,than 1 4,000,000, a state ment today: ' .'.-- :'. Do not buy any stocks from curb brokers unless : . "They canprove to you that they are members of the Curb Market associa tion ; unless it is proved to your satis faction that they are on the approved curb list. Compel any broker' who sells you shares to sign his name to the cir cular . setting forth his claim to the stock. This will give the action if the stock proves to be that of a 'fake' con cern." Sales have been made of oil companies which exist only on paper. They made flambuoyant claims of "oil finds" near the Ranger, Texas, oil fields and a num ber of "brokers" who disposed of the worthless paper stock have disappeared, Mr. Waugh was informed today. Some of .'--.ese fake oil companies were listed on the curb, the, advertisements declared, but investigation proved that they were not. " ,. , .- ; ' . PORTLAND MU !T BE READY fOR SURPLUS OF LABOR, BAKER SAYS Mayor Speaks in Behalf of Re construction Measures on Bal lot to Be Voted June 3. WHITES, BLACKS AtiD CHINESE ARRESTED IN POLICE RAID ON CLUBS Proprietors Accused of Violating ? Ordinance Forbiddrng Barred ,. Doors.' " , Picturing conditions , he felt positive would result If thfe shipyards close this fall and labor does not have work to turn to, Mayor Baker made a plea to the members gathered at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon Monday noon for the reconstruction bonding issues. His stand was supported in a speech on the same subject by Whitney L. Boise, That business-, men be aroused to the possibilities of labor trouble this fall Mayor Baker told them the necessity of lending their affirmative vote to the reconstruction measures which "will be voted upon by a referendum on June 3, Mr. Baker urged the support of -reconstruction measures in view, of- the fact that the bonds would hot be issued ex cept in case of emergency. ,-; POSSIBILITIES ARE SERIOUS "Portland people are dreaming that the shipyards are i, going to continue work, this fall. Suppose their dreams do not come true, and we find 30,000 workers augmented by woodsmen, by the thousands and more returning sol diers, demanding work. What will be the conditions resulting if we have 50, 000 or more men demanding food for their families?" questioned Mr. Baker.' "If the business men do not support these measures,, the workingraan iar go ing to have an irrefutable argument that the employers did , not do their share in providing? employment during the critical period of . one year, which business must have to - get back -on a firm basis." t . . v - s Mr. Baker said that two factions are opposing the measures the voter who was crying of too much taxation and those who did net believe that Oregon was facing any labor trouble, no matter what happened. He pointed out the fact that the development projects- sponsored by the bills would attract more people to this state, and thus we would gain more taxpayers to help carry the bur den. ' 4 OTHER STATES HAVWG TROUBLE As for those who did ribt believe there was any more labor trouble ahead, Mr. Baker pointed out the conditions that now exist in many states, .notably Ohio, where he said there were, 300.000 men idle, "Support " of these measures will merely provide the state government with reinsurance against idleness and the , resulting labor troubled' Mr. Boise then took up the plea for support- of the measures, saying that unless the authority is conferred on the state and the : referendum of June 3. it would be too late for action in case there Is a large number of unemployed In the fall. He assured- his audience that the governor would use discretion in authorizing .the expenditures only as necessity dictates. Before adjournment the members of the chamber unanimously voted sup port to the measures. Black, white and , yellow races tared alike, Monday - night, when the" police, taking advantage of the new ordinance recently passed by the city council wnfJ forbids barred doors, . electric 8ignvalKJ devices, or peep holes'; in- entrances te clubs, rooms or suspected gambling dens, arrested a number of " proprietors for alleged violations of t the law. Twenty eight Chinese, ' seven white men ; and three proprietors 'of 'colored clubs were arrested and charged with violating the new law. Each secured -release on 59 ball.- - - - ---V , - The ordinance is said to.be the death knell of iron .barred doors k and secret passages in Chinatown, and the. elabor ate signalling devices which warn the gamesters of the presence of the police In the white -.- and ' colored gambling houses, operated - under : the guise of clubs.
