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."

Hilleboro, May 21. 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.

setts.: CHAMP CLARK CHEERED
The most "bitter opposition was . of
fered by Representative Fecht of Penn
sylvania who charged that the resolu
tion "was fostered and forced" by rep
resentatives from Western states.
"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

it will. I believe that my wife and

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.
Representative Little of Kansas opened
the debate for those favoring the amend
ment with a review of Kansas under
equal suffrage. ; V . - i

and had failed to adopt suffrage legisla

tne answer.
"If people want to do the right thins:
they can make a reasonable offer simi

serted the mayor. "The company made
us an offer, we made them one at

accepted. It was an equitable price."
