FRED BUT HI
Poet's Coup at
Fiume Would Be
Untenable Under
Pact, Says Writer
Economic Boycott by Nations, He
Contends, Would Soon Bring
Rebels to Terms.
By David Lawrence
En route to Salt Lake City, Utah,
Sept. 23. President Wilson has
been kept constantly advised while
traveling of events In Europe and
has, of course, been given an ac
count of the seizure of Flume by
an Italian force under d'Annunzlo.
Mr. Wilson has made no specific
mention of the incident In his
speeches, but he has In a general
way warned his hearers against the
disruption of affairs in Southeastern
Europe unless the. League of Na
tions were quickly brought into be
ing. He has expressed the hope
that a tragic confirmation of his
prediction would not result from the
delay.
Yet, inasmuch as peace has not been
formally declared, the supreme war
council still functions, and the landing of
American marines in the Fiume region
would be compatible with former Ameri
can participation in the Balkan opera
tio?is. American destroyers cooperated
with the Italian army in the Adriatic,
and American troops once stood guard at
Fiume along witli the troops of other
countries.
The other powers alone would have
felt embarrassed by any aloofness on the
part of the United States, had she stood
off while D'Annunzlo kept possession of
the port of Flume. So the addition of a
small contingent of American marines to
the force which is demanding D Annun
zio's withdrawal can be construed as
largely for moral effect. It Is not ex
pected that any fighting will be neces-

AT MARKET TP GO
Bigelow Promises Housewives He
Will Ask Amendment to Ordi- .
nance to Remove Board.
Maxlnyim price fixing on the pub
Tic market Is to go.
. After a conference with Mrs. J. F.
Chapman, chairman' of the house
wives' mass meetings, and with the
market committee of housewives,
C. A. Bigelow, commissioner of pub
lic affairs, announced this morning
that he would ask the city council
Wednesday to make changes in the
ordinance necessary for the removal
of the prlcer "board."
Objection to the maximum price list
comes not only from the housewives, but
also from the stall-renters, who refused
Saturday to sell eggs and other products
at the rates written on the board.. As a
result eggs jumped from 65 cents Satur
day to 67 cents Monday morning.
Commissioner Bigelow declared himself
this morning out of patience with those
stall-renters who displayed signs on their
produce on Saturday announcing "These
goods not on sale."
"If a repetition of such action as oc
curred Saturday should take place," he
said. "Marketmaster Eastman, under my
orders, will proceed to prosecute the of
fenders under section 7, rule 5, of the
market ordinance, which Bays :
" 'Vendors may place signs over their
booths, tables or stalls, subject to the ap
proval of the marketmaster.'
"These stall-renters are also punish
able for conspiracy under the eity anti
trust law," said the commissioner, "arid
action will be taken against them."
Besides the question of elimination of
the price list, the women brought to
Bigelow's attention the problems of stor
age and of alleged abuses of the agent
system on the market. These he will
look into and discuss later.
Bigelow was asked to extend the area
used for the public market to Include
30 stalls In front of the gas office and
to obtain a basement where common
storage may be possible under direct
supervision of the market commission.

the company, there . remains $500,000

maintenance has never been estimated. It

Well Done, Says
Belgians' King
After Taste of
American Speed
Monarch in Happy Mood as He
Is Rushed to Boat for Trip
to United States.
By Don E. Chamberlain
Abeard U. S. S. George Washing
ton, Sept. 23. (U. P.) King Albert
has received his taste of American
speed. The king reveled In It and
is ready for more.
The initial bit of Yankee hustle was
thrown into play yesterday when the
king left Ostend to board the George
Washington three miles off Calais. It
was staged by snappy American naval
officers and husky American gobs.
When Albert, with Queen Elizabeth
and the crown prince, boarded the U.
S. destroyer Ingraham at Ostend, the
king announced in democratic fashion
that he was ina hurry. Orders were
shouted. The destroyer leaped from its
moorings. And by the time Albert was
comfortably quartered the Ingraham
had struck up a clip of 35 knots.
"Well done !" exclaimed the monarch,
as the destroyer drew up alongside the
ocean liner. His words were addressed
to Captain Le Breton, commander of
the Ingraham. The officers and crew
of the George Washington vowed today
the king would witness further "snappy
action" before . he reached American
shores.
Hundreds of thousands of cheering
Belgians lined the shore and the moles
at Ostend when their king departed.
Several thousand Belgian school chil
dren gathered at the water's edge and
sang the national anthem.
Belgian Hale Survives
London, Sept. 23. "Belgiah hatred of
the Germans must continue for years.
I do not doubt that commercial rela
tions will be resumed : that is natural,
but you can Imagine that the hate will
live for a long time," said King Albert
of the Belgians in an interview with a
Dally Express correspondent. "The
worst thing the Boches did was, after
violating our neutralty, to. shoot 600
civilians. There was the wanton de
struction of factories and the deporta
tion of civilians, which took the Ger
mans back to the premedleval times.
These things will never be forgotten
and forgiven." -
Cooking Fat Down;
Price of Crackers
Drops 2c abound
Here's a real honest to goodness ef
fort to reduce the cost of living.
Bakers and cracker manufacturers
have for some time contended that the
prohibitive cost of cooking fat was one
of the big reasons for the high prices.
Fat prices have been dropping.
The cracker manufacturers have re
duced their prices on soda and picnic
or oyster crackers 2 cents a pound.
Announcement to that effect has been
made by the Pacific Coast Biscuit com
pany. Bakers have not reduced the price
of bread.

present "swing around the circle"
trip. President Wilson spent most
of today on his special train run
ning over the Rocky mountains.
He was scheduled to make only one
set address today at Salt Lake City,
in the famous temple but the monotony
of the Jong Journey was to be broken at
Ogden late this afternoon. There the
president was to leave the train and ac
companied by Mrs. Wilson and the mem
bers of his immediate party, participate
in an automobile parade through the
city.
One week from today the 10.0QO mile
Journey is scheduled to end with the
arrival in Washington of the party. The

the opening day were approximately
$4000, practically double the figures
for the opening day last year,' ac
cording to J. E. MeClihtock. auditor.
Single admissions were also larger
by one-third than last year, receipts
from this source alone exceeding
those of the first day of the 1918
fair by approximately $500.
More people are camped on the
grounds than ever before and the con
cessions have contributed more to the
state fair treasury than in past years.
"Fully up to the old pre-war standard.
Every bit as good, if not better than the
fair of 1915. tho banner year of the Ore
gon State fair."
That's the way the department super
intendents at the State fair grounds
summed up the situation Monday.
Every stall in every barn is full of
livestock pure bred cows, horses, hogs,
sheep and goats from all over Oregon,
from California, from the middle west
ern states and from Canada. And over
in the poultry department it's the same
story even the S. R O. sign has been
taken down and every nook and crevice
is filled with prize winning and near
prize winning fowl. The tractor exhibit
t Vi a farm ma chinerv exhibit and the au
tomobile exhibit, keeping pace with the
progress of power farming, are the big
gest and the most varied in the history
of the institution.
AGBICCLTTJBA1 DISPLAY
Over In the agricultural hall every
stall with two exceptions are filled and
these would have been occupied except
that they were reserved for two county
exhibits which failed to materialize at
the last minute. Fourteen counties are
vieing for first honors in this pavilion
with the choicest products of their sev
eral respective districts displayed to the,
best advantage. The fourteen counties
are Multnomah. Washington, Union,
Lane, Coos. Tillamoek, Clatsop, Colum
bia, Sherman; Malheur, Morrow. Mar
ion, Clackamas and Benton. The farm
exhibit of - Leonard Gilkey of near Scio
also occupies a prominent place In this
' pavilion with a splendid dlsplay of 'gen
eral farm products, as also does an ex
hibit of grain and vegetables from
Western Canada.
Yi EATHEB IDEAL
Arid to top it all off Old Sol smiled
Ms approval on the exhibits and on the
crowds which thronged the grounds for
the first day. assuring Secretary Lea
and his colleagues of a record breaking
attendance during the week as well as
a record breaker In the matter of dis
plays and exhibits.
With the arrival late Monday evening
of 27 carloads of livestock exhibits from
the Washington state fair at Yakima,
all 13 barns in the livestock department
were filled to overflowing. Four barns
are completely filled with horses, pure
bloods every one. One barn heretofore
used for horses Is this year given over
to the boys' and girls' clubs of the state
for their calf and pig exhibits, which
are attracting more attention this year
than ever before. Another barn is filled
with goats, two barns are filled with
sheep and two more with hogs.
CATTLE DISFLAT LARGE
The Pacific Meat company of Seattle
has the largest exhibit of dairy cattle
with 85 head representing five differ
ent breeds. The cattle exhibit includes
seven herds of Shorthorns, one from
Calgary. Canada ; six herds of Guern
seys, 127 head of Jerseys, two herds of
Tclled Angus and two herds of Brown
Swisn. The Holstein exhibit this year
is lighter than usual.
CARLOAD OF POULTRY
A whole carload of poultry from Cal
ifornia made up of 25 exhibits In charge
of W. H. Hockin8 of the Hocklns Poultry
farm of Los Angeles, has filled every
coop in this department, with a total of
approximately 1200 birds showing, 00
more than last year. Hocklns himself is
exhibiting 40 Anconas. The Barred
Plymouth Rocks bead the list In point
of number with a total of 82 entries
headed by birds from the yards of C. B.
Wheeler of Eugene, H. J. Hamlet of

Contemplated Action of U. S.
Grain Corporation Creates Del
icate Situation.
All Portland flouring mills af
fected by the recent walkout of
cereal workers and others were op
erating at normal capacities today
and the shadow of contemplated
action by the United States Grain
corporation "has created what Is said
to be a delicate situation in the con
duct of the strike.
Five of the flour mills against which
the strike was directed have operated
continuously since the walkout The
other two of the seven mills affected,
the Portland Flouring Mills company
and the Kerr-Gifford mills, resumed
operations on Monday, after being
"closed for repairs" since prior to the
date of the strike. '
Possible disorder at the Portland
Flouring mills has been anticipated by
the management, it is said, with the
result that plans have been made to
charter the steamer T. J. Potter as a
home for workmen employed in the
mill. What the grain corporation will
do In controlling the situation or in ob
viating it was not disclosed today, aside
from Max H. Houser's admission that
his office "will do something."
Non-union labor Is employed in each
of the seven mills against which the
strikers leveled their action when they
were, refused a conference with millers
on the question of union recognition.
Longshoremen continued to refuse
loading "unfair flour" this morning with
the result that the West Munliam and
West Cheswald, both of which are await
ing flour cargoes for the government,
were still held inactive. Unless the
situation changes by Wednesday, ship
ping board officials intimated that these
vessels may be loaded with lumber.
Riggers Voting Today
San Francisco, Sept 23. (I. X. S.) A
vote for acceptance or rejection of a
compromise offer made the members of
the Riggers' and Longshoremen's union
here by employers is being taken tod-iy.
The action follows the loading of ships
by -the employers yesterday with non
union labor. The employment of non
union labor wan in accordance with the
ultimatum given the workers by the em

for action at 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The riggers and stevedores are

should be, made to determine whether
