Churchmen Oppose View of President St. Louis, May 2LU. P.) Expres sions of regret that a "ruling elder" and "fellow churchman" should recom ' mend to congress repeal of part of the war-time prohibition act was contained in a resolution cabled today . to Presi dent Wilson by the Presbyterian gen eral assembly. It wa further resolved that "we' most earnestly; petition con gress that It not only retain' the meas ure, but that it be enforced to'the full est extent." .-. . DOCK COMMISSION TO HEAR CHARGES (Continued from Pif One) he believes unassailable proof supports the following! The grain elevator was placed without proper preliminary testing of the foun dation ; the commission and its engineer were warned "that borings should be made In advance, but borings were not made until after subsidence had com menced and then showed a considerable degree of fluidity in the soil under the elevator. The dock commission transacted all important matters, including the pur chase of the site and the consideration of the report of the advisory engineers, at secret meetings from which even newspaper representatives were ex cluded. LOSS TIME CLAIMED The dock commission selected a site subject to extraordinary switching charges and involving excessive loss of time to workmen going to and from the terminal when by securing, one of sev eral other available sites close to the city the switching costs and delays could have been avoided. The elevator was authorised by the people with the expectation that it would bn vitally needed to help handle the grain crop of 1918, but the commission has given no assurance the elevator will be ready for 1919 wheat or even for the crop of 1920. Support of the proposition that the site was not tested sufficiently is con tained In the majority deport of the advisory engineers employed by the dock commission after the subsidence of the grain elevator buildings began. That report says :: "From a study of the test piles we find from the informatalon furnished us that there were 14 driven. These piles were fairly well distributed over the surrounding area. PIUNG ASSAILED Attention is called to the fact that these test piles ranged in length from 49 feet 4 Inches to 101 feet and that the penetration of these plies went to a maximum of 78.8 feet or to an elevation of minus 70 feet. We find that In several Instances that even with these long plies the penetration under the last blow of the hammer which ham mer was falling as much as 25 feet was too great to warrant the conclusions under these circumstances that .piles of even this length would safely carry the load of 25 tons each through a soil of this character when grouped as closely as they were under these structures. We find that the piles as actually driven under the storage annex (elevator bins) range from 40 to 45 feet in .length and we were unable to understand why this length of pile was selected rather than a longer length. It is our opinion that the test piles driven should have indicated the neccesslty for a further investigation as to ' the bearing power of the soil upon which the buildings were to be erected. "In addition to the test piles driven there were certain borings made to de termine, .the. character of the subsoil. These bojlngs were not made, however, until at,er-ifche subsidence was known to have started and the' Information which these tarings furnished was not conclu sive largely because of the way in which the. samples were removed from the pipes, but we feel that they were suffi cient to indicate a subsoil of consider able fluidity which again "would seem to indicate the necessity of obtaining more information."

The menace of the espionage measures, of profiteering monopolies and of anarchy and Boshe vUm were pointed out by State Master C. E. Spence at the forty-sixth anaual session of the Oregon State grange, which opened here Tuesday. The day waa spent in seating delegates and hearing protests. Free speech, peaceable assembly and open discussion, said Mr. Spence, are threatened by the espionage law. "Our constitutional safeguards of per sonal liberty should be secure in normal times," he declared. He quoted federal trade commission reports to show the extent of profiteer ing by monopolies which arbitrarily fix prices to producer and consumer. "DIRECT ACTION" DECBIED "In a state like Oregon, where a ma jority of the adult people can make or unmake any law they desire, there Is no excuse for direct action by either bour bon or Bolshevik, he satd. "The only real danger from anarchy or Bolshe vism in Oregon lies In a subsidized press that is serving the interests by sup pressing the truth and fawning to the hand that feeds it, thus preventing alterations and reforms until the peo ple rise up in revolt and revolution. "The best remedy for Bolshevism Is prevention, not by suppression of con stitutional rights, but by removing in justices such as those perpetrated by the packing trusts and other monopolies." . The value of cooperative organiza tions to work for the mutual benefit of producers, preventing waste of energy in competition and unscientific meth ods, was pointed out. He was high in praise of the state purchasing agent and expressed a hope that the grange might extend the benefits , of cooperation by greater organization. RECOMMENDATIONS NUMEROUS Extension of cooperation, shipping as sociations, city retail markets, ware houses and terminal markets, grading and trade marks for farm products, ex tension of parcel post marketing and regulation and control to encourage farmers were recommended. A state market master to organize producers In all lines was urged. De feat of the state marketing bill at the lsfst legislature was laid to agents of middlemen and a new measure was ad vocated. , Opposition was voiced by Mr. Spence to the proposal to reduce or repeal the Income tax. A state income tax and a graduated land tax. moderate small holdings and Increasing with the size of holdings, were advocated. Passage of the one-mill market roads tax meas ure was urged. Hope that the League of Nations will bring permanent peace was expressed. Members of the grange were taken to the Groner walnut orchard at Scholia this afternoon and will- be entertained at a banquet here this evening by the business men of the city. About 250 are in attendance. CITY WILL APPEAL IN FIVE CASES (Continued From Pars One) "Safety Islands" : Authorized for City by Council t ' " . I.' Silent policemen, properly known as "safety islands," will be tried out on outlying streets in 'Portland with the hope that they will prove effect ive in 'controlling traffic in such dis tricts. The city council this morning authorized experiments with two "safety. Islands" and they will b in stalled at outlying Intersections at once.. The silent traffic guide will be set up in the crater of an intersec tion." will bear small red lights at night and thus direct traffic to the right and left of the road. The ap paratus, each of which will cost the city 930. are said to have proved valuable in other cities. SUFFRAGE CARRIED BY VOTE OF 304 TO 89 (Continued From Pa.e On Paired Green.

"I pity the men who come from Penn sylvania, New Tork and Ohio, who have to vote for this amendment," said Focht. "They are not for It, but they are forced to vote' for it by political exigencies. . Champ Clark- was given a long ova tion from both sides of the chamber when he spoke in favor of the amend orient. . , "I do not believe that woman suf frage is going to precipitate the mill enium," the, former speaker said, "nor do I bey eve it is going to damage the American - institutions to such an ex tent as some of its opponents believe it will.

Large numbers of women began to fill the galleries of the house early this morning. Despite the efforts of doorkeepers and guards,, women smug gled lunches into the galleries and came prepared to- stay in the galleries until the measure was finally passed.

They could not do this, was tne answer. "If people want to do the right thins: they can make a reasonable offer simi lar to that "made by the O-W.

Furthermore, it is the gateway to Terwjlllger boulevard. And here I want to commend The Journal for bringing the matter to the atten tion of the council and condemning It for waiting so long. But the council is anxious for- constructive criticism." The city will appeal the following verdicts rendered by a Jury for Mar quam . gulch property.
