ELEVATOR FACTS
ARE TO BE AIRED
Large Attendance Expected Fri
day Noon at Chamber of Com
merce Rooms.
A crowded audience of attentive busi
ness men has been predicted for Friday
noon at the Chamber of Commerce whei
adverse critic of the Portland dock com
mision will be given a hearing.
A. Conn, chairman of a special com
mittee on Investigation of the subsidence
of the grain elevator at St. Johns, is
expected to speak, but the chief present
ation will be made by Frank E. Kier
nan. Charles F. Berg, chairman of the
Members' forum, will preside. .
IGNORED BY COMMISSION
Adverse critics of the dock commission
assert that the chief reason for the sub
sidence of the 1,000;000 bushel grain ele
vator at the St. Johns terminal is be
cause the commission did not order ade
quate testing of the subsoil of the site.
They declare that the commission put it
self tn a position of culpability by trans
acting ! in secret meetings important
matters pertaining to the elevator and
freight' terminal. They hold' that the
commission has lost valuable time by ex
perimental measures Involving large use
of public funds and that there is no as
surance the grain elevator. 'which was
to have been- ready for the 1918 crop.
Will- be ready tor the grain of 1919, or
evert of 1920. - ,
The dock commission this morning de
cided to take , no cognisance - of the
forum meeting arranged by the- Cham
ber of Commerce., for Friday noon, the
position of the commissioners being that
they had received no invitation to at
tend. W. D. B. Dodson. secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, announced
on Wednesday that the dock commis
sion bad been invited.
SUBSIDENCE HAS STOPPED
The commission took more radical
measures In respect to the grain ele
vator, G. W. Boschke, one of the advisory
engineers appointed by the commission,
pledged his professional standing that
subsidence of the ponderous structure
has stopped, that the driving of "pinch
piles" at the northeast corner has been
successful and that no reason remains
for not immediately completing the
storage annex or grain bins. Mr.
Boschke added that he believes the
storage annex. may settle a little more,
but that it will come to permanent rest
without damage. As an emergency
measure the commission then authorised
the driving of "pinch piles" along the
east side of the elevator without wait
ing to let a formal contract.
Silence Continues
To Envelop Hawker
And Fellow Aviator
London, May 22. -(U. P.) Nothing
haa been heard of : Harry Hawker or
Mackenzie Grieve, who started from
Newfoundland Sunday In a Sopwtth
plane in an attempt to fly across the
Atlantic. The search for some trace of
them is continuing. The 6nly hope of
their friends is that they were picked up
by a sailing vessel which does not carry
wireless.
A'ew Theory Advanced
St. Johns, N. F.. May 22. (U. P.)
The theory was advanced today that in
dropping the under carriage of his air
plane, Harry Hawker broke the wire
less ground trailer, thus making wire
less transmission impossible. This was
believed to explain why no communica
tion was received from Hawker after
he jumped off here for Ireland last
Sunday.

Former Army Doctors, Called as
Witnesses in Tuck Case, Crit

Postmortem Examination Branded
as Incompetent by Head of
University Pathology Dept.
The official future of certain Port
land police and health bureau offi
cers will be in the hands of a jury of
citizens this afternoon, when testi
mony to determine whether there
was neglect in the case of Eugene
Tuck will be concluded. Dr. George
Parrlsh, city health officer, is the
only remaining witness.
This morning's testimony was
largely given by medical experts.
Drs. Benson, Knox and Strohm
agreed that the examinations given
at the city Jail would not necessarily
disclose pneumona, and that the dis
ease might be contracted and death
result within 10 or 12 hours. On the
other hand, they agreed that such a
case as Tuck's should , have been In
a -hospital and symptoms studied.
The autopsy of Dr. Wheeler was pro
nounced incompetent by Dr. Benson.
The morning session was further en
livened by the charge of Attorney Col
lier that the investigation was uevelop
Ing Into a spat between the city and
county to pass responsibility. The ac
cusation was called forth by the action
of Mayor Baker in calling attention to
the - inference that even had city of
ficials sent a report of Tuck's condition
to the county Jail, it would have been
overlooked by county officials who
failed to acquaint themselves with In

ROUGH SEAS HOLD
PACT
MAT
President, So Friends in Paris
Say, Regards It as Best Ob
tainable Under Circumstances.
Many Changes Have Been Made
in Copy Since It Has Been
Given Into Hands of Printer.
By Lowell Mellett
(Copyright, 1919, by the United ITemi)
Paris, May 22. That President
Wilson himself ie not satisfied with
the German peace treaty, Is the an
swer his friends made today to the
accumulated objections of many of
the American commission, which
came to a head this week through
tentative resignation of nine of the
members.
The president, his friends said, be
lieves the treaty is the best it is pos
sible' To obtain, considering all the con
ditions . and circumstances as near i
he was able to make it to represent the
principles for which he fought through
six weary months.
CHANGES OVER JIIGHT
Associates of the president said when
the whole story of the peace conference
is told it will be understood why the
treaty contains just what it does and
why there were certain omissions. It
will be a story, they declared, of agree
ments made one day and flouted the
next ; of understandings painstakingly
arrived at through days and nights of
labor lasting for weeks, only to be over
turned without forewarning. The presi
dent, it was said, accepts the treaty aa
an accomplished fact, however, now that
it is in its final form.
According to information from au
thoritatlve American sources, the final
form of the treaty is not that in which
it came from, the printer. Whether this
Is the reason, tt has not been published,
cannot be stated, but there have been
raycn.tige"1n the Text since " it was
printed (The "big four". was recently
reported to have agreed not to publish
the full text of the treaty until it la ac
cepted). MOTES CLOSeLt WATCHED
Some of these changes are due to the
fact that as printed it did not represent
the exact agreements reached by the'
peace conference. As an example of
this, the night the treaty was printed
President Wilson was awakened at
midnight and informed of two important
alterations. He called one of the "big
four" on the telephone and the latter
admitted he had made the alterations,
but expected to explain the next day.
Another such alteration was discovered
later, affecting the Saar valley, and re
sulted In a similar admission by a rep
resentative of a certain country.
As a consequence various members
of the American commission have been
going over the voluminous document
with a fine tooth comb ever since.
MUCH CRITICISM UNFAIR
So far as calling the treaty a "rivers
and harbors bill" as was done by
one of the experts of the American
commission yesterday Wilson's friends
said this was wholly unfair to him.
since It Implied he had selfish ends to
serve. As a matter of fact, they said,
the president worked unceasingly to
make the settlement of every issue
square with his avowed principles, or
when this could not be done, at least
to oDtain a settlement which the League
of Nations would be enabled to correct
eventually It proved unfair or un
wise. Two Are Injured
In Motorcycle
And Auto Smash
Two persons were injured and two
automobiles and a motorcycle wrecked
in the center of the crossing at East
Twelfth and Ash streets, Wednesday

Oregon Batteries
Eager to Get Home
Boys of 147th Field Artillery Royally En
tertained at Sioux Falls, S. D., Where
They Head Parade of Overseas Men
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., May 23. "We swore when we heard
that th.e war department had routed us through Sioux Falls
for a parade and celebration, but certainly have changed bur
minds now."
This was the general sentiment expressed Wednesday evening
by the members of two batteries of the 147th field artillery, who
come from Oregon and who were royally banqueted and enter
tained here during the day, in company with other service men of
South Dakota. . I
Approximately 75,000 people were
in Sioux Falls from all over the Btate
to help welcome the homecoming of
the 147th and honor all service men.
The feature of the day was a mam
moth parade, in which 3600 soldiers,
sailors and marines took part. . It
was headed by the governor and ad
jutant general of the state. The
Oregon batteries with the 147th
were in the lead of the procession,
which paraded through the princi
pal thoroughfares to the accompani
ment of deafening cheers from the
throats of thousands of South Dako
tans. The stern, stalwart, erect Ore
gon gunners won numerous com
mendatory plaudits, and their gen
tlemanly conduct while in the city
was the subject of much favorable
comment.
While here the western troops were
given headquarters at the Washington
school building and their entertainment
was placed in the hands of the princi
pal and superintendent of schools. An
advance showing of a high school
operetta at 11 o'clock last night was
one of the special attractions provided.
In the morning they were taken over
the city in automobiles driven by high
school girls. The Sioux Falls girls
also took them In charge at a dance in

pavement near the city . Coliseum.

Decision Feared in Rate Case
Which Would Give Portland
Its Natural Advantage.
Seattle fears a decision of the Colum
bia river rate case favorable to the In
land Empire and the ports of the Co
lumbia. Seattle's complaint in intervention In
the now famous struggle to secure to
the harbor and hinterland of the Colum
bia basin tne benefits of natural ad
vantages asserts :
"Any adjustment of the rates herein
involved which would adversely affect
the city of Seattle vaa a grain market
and milling center would seriously in
jure the interests which It represents."
The Columbia river rate case, brought
before the Interstate Commerce commis
sion by the Inland Empire Shippers'
league, by the. port and .business bodies
of Portland and Clark county and Van
couver, Wash., asks for a lower rate via
Columbia river rail route than by moun
tain routes because the cost of transpor
tation is less.
The city of Seattle, the port of Seattle
and the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
and Commercial club have joined forces
to defeat the Columbia basin's appeal
for justice.. Copies of the Seattle com
plaint in the intervention have Just been
received in Portland.
By the present equality of rates be
tween water grade and mountain routes
Seattle enjoys an artificial competitive
equality In territory east of the moun
tains, where ports of the Columbia
should have, by reason of the water
grade, a superior opportunity to do busi
ness.
Since Seattle has long enjoyed this un
natural advantage, the position of the
Puget Sound metropolis as expressed in
its complaint Is that to grant fair rates
via the water grade -"would give Port
land and the points on the lower -Columbia
river an undue discrimiatlon against
Seattle, and the cities on Puget Sound."

TELEGRAMS SENT
TO BRING BOVS HERE
Telegrams are being sent to the com
manding officers and to Senator Mc
Nary to assure the stopover in Tort
land of Batteries A and B of the 147th
field artillery. Some time ago the war
department assured Senator McNary
that the two units would be sent to
Camp Lewis through Portland with a
liberal stopover here. The fact that no
word has reached the local railroad of
fices in regard to the movement of
these troops may indicate that they are
not routed through here, for the offices
usually know as soon as the units leave
the eastern camps.

SENATE OPPONENTS
READY FOR BATTLE
Sherman Will Demand Separa
tion of League of Nations
From Peace Treaty.
By J. Bart Campbell .
Washington, May 22. (I. N. &)
Those Republican and Democratic
senators who declare themselves to
be unalterably opposed to the entry
of the "United States in the proposed
League of Nations are not going to
wait the return of President Wilson
from the peace conference before re
newing their, opposition on the sen
ate floor to the. ratification of the
modified league, covenant as inex
tricably interwoven with the peace
treaty. " . ' .
This was made plain this afternoon
when Senator Reed (Democrat. Missouri)
and Senators Johnson of California, and
Sherman of Illinois, Republicans, who
are uncompromising anti-leaguers, an
nounced that they proposed to inaugu
rate a bitter 'attack tn ' the senate to
morrow on the leatrue flan.

Senator Sherman will seek to open the
fight by introducing a resolution pro
viding for the separation of the amend
ed league covenant from the peace treaty
so that it can be considered by the sen

other provisions of the treaty, fcienator
Sherman's proposed resolution was in
tended as an opening wedge for the be
ginning of debate on the league which
its opponents planned to have continued
until and after the president appeared
before the senate, possibly about tlie
middle of June, personally to explain
the complete official text of the treaty,
it was stated. .. : ' .
Senator Borah of Idaho, another bit
ter opponent of the league, expressed an
unwillingness that there should be any
further delay in the "freest and fullest
discussion'' in the senate. While Borah
was not prepared to deliver an addre.-s
tomorrow, his active participation In
any debate on it that is opened up was
regarded as foregone.
BITTER DEBATE EXPECTED
Senator Hitchcock CO., Neb,), retir
ing chairman of the senate foreign re
lations committee, and other Democratic
senators who are preparing strongly to
support the president in bis desire to
have the senate ratify the treaty, with
the league covenant as soon after l '
return as possible today renewed their
prediction that league opponents, es
pecially Republican senators, would not
have a sufficient majority in the cn
ate by which te separate the league
covenant from the treaty.
While Senator Hitchcock and h'n
Democratic colleagues hoped to head off
