port of Versailles Peace Treaty
New York. Sept. 13. (U. P.)
Herbert Hoover, head of the U. S.
food administration, will leave New
York today for the Pacific coast. It
is understood he will meet President
Wilson there, probably at San Fran
cisco. Hoover, accompanied by Mrs.
Hoover and their son, reached New
York at noon today on the liner
Aquitania.
"1 think the world needs peace above
all things," Hoover said. "I assume
peace will be ratified by the end of this
month. Generally, by and larse, I
think the treaty is the best we can get.
SELFISHNESS WILL KAIL
"I don't believe the League of Nations
will change men's character over night.
Very possibly nations will attempt to
make alliances and effect balance of
power even though the League of Na
tions is adopted, but I believe such ef
forts will fail."
With regard to the German indemnity.
Hoover said : "No living- soul now
knows whether Cerrnany can ever pay,
but it is certain she cannot unless she
can obtain credits with which to pur
chase raw materials in America and
other nations.'"
PEACE DELAY IS TERRIBLE
The delay in making peace, he said,
"has had a terrible result in the
economic and social life of Europe." The
dominant thought among all Kuropean
people, he said, is for peace.
" There is economic friction on every
boundary line In Europe. Transporta
tion between nations is only possible
through agreements obtained by the
American economic commission. Until
peace Is declared all life in Europe must
be based on the hand-to-mouth principle
because no definite plana of a conptruc
'ttve nature can be made."
Hoover believes the government price
of wheat, 52.26, should be maintained
for the time being. He pointed out that
0 It is lower than the Kuropean price to
day. HERBERT HOOVER AND MANY

District of City.
Echoing from every corner of the
state and from nearby points In
Washington, interest everywhere is
concentrated upon the first official
visit to Portland of President Wood
row Wilson, accompanied, by Mrs.
Wilson and a party of friends and
officials, who will spend Monday in
the city as the central figures In an
elaborate and interesting program.
Mayor Baker today proclaimed Mon
day morning a civic half holiday, and
such intense interest has been mani
fested in the visit of the president that
many business houses have determined
to close during the morning.
Portland schools will be closed
throughout the day and the children,
will mass upon the streets to witness
the procession in which President Wil
son will be a central figure. They will
stand close to elaborately decorated
buildings in most cases, for occupants
of structures within the business district
have shown a decided energy in trim
ming their buildings in patriotic colors
for the day and the city has already
taken on a holiday tone of color.
After greeting President and Mrs.
Wilson at the Union station at 9 a. m.
Monday, the Oregon reception commit
tee will escort the party in the "presi
dent's procession, starting from the sta
tion and terminating at Crown Point on
the Columbia river highway. There the

Spruce Production Inquisitor!
Gets Unexpected Answer When
He Telegraphs to A. H. Powers
Concluding Session of Congres
sional Hearing Develops the
Usual Display of Fireworks.
Though closing hours. of the spruce
production hearing brought, as dur
ing the hearing generally, a prepon
derance of hostile witnesses, copies
of messages received here indicate
that Chairman Frear was less eager
for evidence that would show the
work of the spruce production divi
sion in any favorable light. On Sep
tember 5 he telegraphed to A. H.
Powers, head of the Smith-Powers
Logging company, a large concern in
Coos Bay, saying:
"Letter from Albert Abraham of Rose
burg states you have information re
garding manner in which the spruce sit
uation was handled by the local com
pany under Colonel Dlsque, and it ad
vised me to call on you for information,
which it says will be second only to Mr.
Pendleton. Will be glad to have you calls,
here if so, and if you come wire me
care of Hotel Benson so that I Can
make arrangements- to have you testify
by the first of the week. Will appreciate
hearing from you."
REPLY SURPRISES FREAR
In answer, Mr. Powers felegraphed Mr.
Frear as follows :
"All my dealings with spruce produc
tion division and General Disque were
entirely satisfactory to me. I found
General Disque a pet feet gentleman and
a first class business man, who did
everything he could toward helping to
increase the production of airplane and
boat lumber, and to be absolutely fair;
and honest with both employer and em- ;
ploye, as well as the government he rep
resented. . Tou might call on Mr. Kerry
of Kerry, Or., or Mr. Dixon of Eugene,
Or., or any of the men who furnished
the bulk of the timber during the war
period, who did business with him, and
sec what they say, and I think the com
mittee will get the facts as they are.
"There are a good many soreheads
who thought General Disque should
turn the United States treasury over to
them, that are doing what they can to
belittle him, but being a life long Re
publican I wish that he should be given
a fair hearing and a square deal."
Powers was never called, nor was any
reference to his statement made in the
record. Neither were Kerry nor Dixon
called.

FAKE TICKETS TO
AUDITORIUM SOLD
Original Issue Checked and
Counterfeiters Are to Be Pros
ecuted for Sales.
The almost inevitable outcropping
of dishonesty in connection with
tickets of admission to President
Wilson's address at The Auditorium
on Monday evening has been called
to the attention of the police depart
ment, and dire consequences are held
in store for those' who violate the
rules established for the distribution
or use of tickets.
It has been reported fnat tickets have
been printed surreptitiously somewhere
in the city and are bein sold upon the
streets. The police join th president's
Oregon reception committee in a warn
ing against not only the sale but the
purchase of such tickets. The tickets
that have been legitimataly distributed
have already been carefully checked and
another check will be made to avoid any
possibility of error at The Auditoriu.n
when the coupons are submitted.
Therefore there is said to be no pos
sibility of gaining admission to the
meeting without the official ticket as
mailed to each seat or standing room
winner. Prosecution of sellers of un
official tickets is threatened by the
police.

CONFUSE PUBLIC
Resorts to Bold Methods to At
tack The Journal's Street
Sales Organization.
That The Journal Is "unfair" to
the "Newsboys' Union" was charged
by The Telegram Friday afternoon.
That the charge might receive ade
quate publicity, hand bills conveying
the same information were distrib
uted and banners displayed in the
business district.
The use of the words "unfair" and
"Newsboys' Union" is obvious.
The term "Newsboys Union" implies
a I ody recognized by and affiliated with
organized labor.
The word unfair" is intended to con
vey the meaning that "unfair" implies
In organized labor circles.
-VSlOXn IS TELEGRAM'S
The socalled "Newsboys' Union" is In
no way affiliated with the Central Labor
council. Instead, it is a nebulous body
sponsored by the Telegram.
The statement that The Journal is
"unfair" is false.
.According to the Telegram the circula
tion department of The Journal Is
charged with "trying to force Portland
newsies to buy more Journals than they
can sell, thus swelling the paper's cir
culation figures."
This statement is not true.
The Telegram continues : "While other
Portland papers take back, from the
newsboys all unsold papers. The Jour
nal has refused to accept 'returns.' "
This statement, Insofar as The Jour
nal is concerned, is true, although "re
turns" have been and are allowed in
cases were circumstances Justify.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
The public has little patience with
newspaper bickering. It wants the facts.
Here they are.
The matter referred to by The Tele
gram has to do solely with street sale
circulation.
The Journal does not believe in "re
turns." The implication inspired by The
Telegram, however, that such a policy
is for the sole purpose of imposing an
unjust burden upon the newsboys is
misleading to a degree quite in keeping
with Telegram propaganda.
The Journal conducts an honest cir
culation. It makes no effort to overload
newsboys or to attempt to compel them
to buy more papers than they can sell.
T t flt.. ncit attpmnt in prat 9 Vrvi 1 a '
street circulation by flamboyant meth
ods. In consequence its policy in regard
to "returns" operates to the mutual sat
isfaction of the newsboys an The
Journal if not to The Telegram.

FOSTER SENTENCED
Pleads Guilty to. Manslaughter;
Killed Night Clerk at Angela
Hotel in April.
Amos B. Foster, druggist, who shot
and killed Lawrence Goodell, night
clerk at the Angela hotel, on April
25 last, was sentenced to from one
year to 13 months in the peniten
tiary this morning by Presiding
Judge Gatens. Upon the recommen
dation of District Attorney Walter
Evans, Foster was allowed to plead
guilty to manslaughter, instead of
murder in the second degree, for
which he was indicted.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Joe
Hammersley in his statement to the
court said that there was little doubt
from the evidence but that Foster's de
fense of insanity would result in his
acquittal should he be tried for murder.
FOSTER WAS IXSAJfE
He stated that everything pointed to
Foster's having been "medically in
sane" at the time he committed the
crime alleged, and that while it was not
indisputable that he was "legally in
sane," it was the opinion of the district
attorney's office that it would be better
to allow him to plead guilty to man
slaughter and be sent to Salem for a
period, where he could be under ob
servation. Judge Wallace McCamant, counsel for
the prisoner, said that it was his wish
to go to trial on the murder charge, as
he felt confident he could secure an
acquittal, but that his client had reasons
of his own for preferring to plead guilty
to manslaughter.
STORY OF DEED
Foster shot Goodell on the night of
April 25 and it was thought at the time
it was due to a craze infatuation over
a young woman to whom hs had been
paying attentions and who lived at the
hotel where the slain man acted as night
clerk. The accused was discovered
wandering around the upper rooms of
the hotel on the night in question with
a gun in his hand, by one of the guests.
Goodell left the desk in the lobby and
went upstairs to investigate. Foster in
the meantime came down to the lobby
and encouniered Patrolman Itan.-y whom
hi commanded to hold up his liar.ds.
MARCHED POLICE OUT
Goodell upon his descent and return
to the desk was ordered o remove
the gun from the officer's pocket. As
he did this. Foster shot him. Killing him
instantly. Th- slayer then rr.arched The
policeman ou! of the Suild'r.g and up

ington. Encountering a pa3Sirby, Fos
ter ordered him to join the policeman
and marqh with his hands uplifted. At
Twentieth street Foster placed the of
ficer's gun in the stranger's hands with
the muzzle pointed toward . himself and
ordered him to pull the trigger. The
other man refused and Foster, grabbing
the gun away from him, fired a shot
into his own body. He then discarded
this weapon and fired two more shots
from his gun into his chest

SHORT PR SON TERi
GERMANY'S HOPE OF
A SEPARATE PEACE
WITH THE U. S. GROWS
By Cyril Brown
(Copyright tj the New Tork World. Piibluhed hj Arrangement. Reproduced by permis
sion of the New Tork World and the Oregonian.)
Berlin, Sept. II. (Special Cable.) "All humanity, Germany par
ticularly, Is tensely awaiting the decision of the American senate on the
peace treaty," ex-Minister of Sltate von Schellcr Steinwarta sold today.
With many other Germans, he is beginning to entertain real hope of a
separate peace with America.
"Apparently, Senator Lodge Is the soul of the opposition," he said.
"The senator is no German hater. He hates all non-Americans equally,
and he is absolutely a just man of almost Quaker-like moral strength.
When he and other important senators fight the peace treaty, their
course means that the treaty displeases them because in the excessive
enslavement of Germany, for which America would be forever responsi
ble, they see grave danger of future complications.
"That course is thus to be hailed like the morning rod of a new dawn.
There is promise of a still better realization of conditions in the prospect
that America, in all seriousness,, may express the wish for a sepurate
peace with the central powers.
"We Germans can only wish that the action of the senate may re
flect a mighty change in opinion that has boon misguided and that the
American people may come to ravor the conclusion of a separate peace.
If that shall not result, all xhreat of revision of the peace terms must
die.
"At all events, the senate can educate the public toward a league of
nations based on the strength and purity of the original project for a
league, such as will be capable of inaugurating a new and happy epoch
in history."

missioners and the selection of his
successor, according to announce
ment by. Governor Olcott this morn-'
ing. The governor will ask commis-
sloners of the Port of Astoria to rec
ommend a successor to Nelson.,
In a letter received by Governor Olcott
Friday, in reply to his request for an
explanation of the charges preferred by
the Astoria post of the American Legion,
Nelson pleaded not guilty to the charges
and refused to resign his post
GOVERNOR WRITES LETTER
In a letter to Nelson today the gov
ernor says: "Have given every consid
eration to all that you say. I believe
that the people of the state are properly
appreciative of the services which you
gave In various capacities during the
war, as I believe they are appreciative
of what services you have given- in a
public capacity.
"The fact remains, however, that the
alien to whom I referred in my recent
communication has been in your employ
and you refused to dispense with his
services, and now intimate you plan to
soon reemploy him.
"I note that you decline to resign.
Under the circumstances, I deem it nec
essary to Inform you that steps will be
taken at once toward the selection of
your successor as 3 member of the board
of pilot commissioners."
JiELSOX ADMITS ACT
Nelson in his letter to the governor
admitted having employed one Hannes
Fritjof Huttula as an accountant for
the Union Fishermen's Packing com
pany, of which he is manager. Huttula
had been In his employ for a number
of years before this time, he stated, and
was in close touch with the workings of
the company as well as an able account
ant He denied any knowledge of any
objections to Huttula. as a desirable citi
zen at the time of his employment. The
American Legion had charged that Hut
tula had cancelled his first citizenship
papers in order to escape the draft and
therefore was not a desirable citizen.
RECEIVED PROTEST
Nelson admits having received the'J
protest of the Amerioan Legion and'
having gone before that body with his'
explanation of the situation. He states
that Huttula is not now in the employ
of the company but that his services
will be required for a few days a little
later on In making out certain reports
with which he is familiar. In conclusion
Nelson had declared that he did not feel
conscious of being guilty of any of the
charges made against him and therefore
he pleads not guilty and refuses to re
sign. "If you, as a judge, now knowing the
facts," he writes to the governor, "feet
that I am guilty, it is within your pre
rogative to remove me from the state
board of pilot commissioners."

Governor Coolidge Rejects Pro
posal; Another Man Killed
in Boston.
Boston, Mass., Sept. 13. (I. N. S.)
Police Commissioner Curtis agreed
late this evening, through Governor
Coolidge, to confer with leaders of the
striking policemen Monday morning.
Boston, Mass., Sept. 13. (I. N. S.)
The striking policemen's request
to be taken on the forces regardless
of their union affiliations, was re
jected by Governor Coolidge 'at a
conference today with leaders of the
Policemen's union and of the Central
Labor union.
The governor supported the stand of
Police Commissioner Edwin U. Curtis,
who declared the strikers' positions va
cant and said he would recruit a new
force largely from the ranks of ex
service men.
This action was announced almost at
the same time that a serious and pe
culiar shooting affair was taking place
at the comer of Boylston and Tremont
streets. Gustave Gast aged 20. of Dor
chester, after an argument with a state
gruardsman, was shot and killed, by the
guard and the bullet, passing through
his body, hit a woman.
According to the guardsman, Gast at
tempted to take his rifle away from htm.
President Mclnnes'of the Policemen's
union declared that the striking patrol
men had surrendered.
While the conference was In session,
Commissioner Curtis issued a statement
declaring he had been advised by the
etate attorney general that the-places
of the strikers automatically became va
cant when they "deserted."
President Mclnnes' statement that the
police had ' surrendered" meant that they
were willing to go back to their old Jobs
as non-union men, giving up their mem
bership In the union, he said.
According to state guard officers,
Gast objected when he was told by an
Infantryman of the Twelfth regiment to
move on. The guardsman called for the
corporal of the guard, who came run
ning across from the direction of the
:iotel Touraine, and Gast took to his
heels, making for the common. The
gvardsman called once to him to halt.
and when he did not took aim and shot
him as he was within 10 feet of the c:rb
of the common side of Tremont st.re.t
Mr?. Jacques, standing on the s' de-
walk on th2 opposite side of the street
near the Little bufldlng, was hit in the
knee, and was carried into a nearby
drug store for emergency treatment.
President McCarlson of the Central
Labor union, when asked If a general
strike would be called, refused to make
any statement President Mclnnes will
report back to the policemen's union,

Rare Old Scotch
Whiskey Is Taken
From Oil Tanker
Sixty-six quarts and 73 pints of old
Scotch whiskey, the kind that "used
to be in circulation," were found on
the oil tanker Chanslor Friday night
by officers from the department of
Justice, the harbor patrol and police
moral squad.
Shortly after 11 o'clock the stealthy
sleuths slipped upon the steamer In the
harbor patrol launch. They sprung a
complete surprise upon the unsuspect
ing crew and when they reached the
bottom of the ship and started going
through the water ballast rooms, found
the forbidden beverage.
The bottles filled 11 burlap sacks. The
total valuation of the liquor is placed
at $2000, as the entire lot is said to be
"real stuff" and not the bootleg whis
key which has been o prevalent since
the dry law went Into effect.
First Officer Schram of the boat,
which was moored at the Associated Oil
docks in Llnnton, demanded that the
officers show a search warrant when
they first appeared, but when told that
it would go easier with him if ho did
not seek to hinder government officers,
Schram permitted the search.
Schram was taken into custody for a
fhort time, but when the officers left
for Portland they allowed him his lib
erty. Before further arrests are made
the officers want to determine. If pos
blble, who owned the liquor.
