NBV BUNKERS FOR
ST.JOHNSTERMINAL
Plans Adopted for Elevated Dock
andUsing the Gravity Dis
charge Into Ships.
Plana prepared by Engineer G. B.
Hegardt of the commission of public
docks for construction of a set of
bunkers at St. Johns municipal
terminal, to be lined In handling
si eoal and sulphur were approved by
the commission at Its regular meet-
ing today.
An elevated dock with conveyers for
loading the bunkers and gravity dls
i charge Into ships, together with appa
ratus for charging the bunkers from the.
water side. Is provided for In the plans.
. The commission at first proposed put
tng these bunkers on pier 5 of the St.
- Johns enterprise, but as ground for this
pier has not even been broken, and
business for the bunkers is expected
this Spring or summer, the bunkers will
probably be erected at the end of pier 2,
Which Is' now nearly completed.
CONTRACTOR" CENSURED
in connection with progress on con-
struction work at the terminal, Hegardt
this morning took occasion to censure
Elliot & Hcoggln, contractors, for their
delay In construction of pier 2 and the
commlcslon ordered the contractors to
come In "and sing the usual song." as
Chairman Moores put It, about causes
for the lack of speed.
The commission transacted a mass of
small business in addition to listening
to 'the pleas and proposals of half a
, dosen people. A large delegation, head
ed by John L. Day, Albina property
owner, and Chris Mlnslnger, head of
' the Star Sand company, appeared with
. a "demand for some immediate action
towards restoration of one of the lower
. ferries. The matter is held up because
no site for the western terminal is avail
V able. Today's decision was for appoint
ment of a joint commission, with repre-
" sentatives of the city council, the county
commissioners, the Port of Portland
v commission and the dock commission, to
investigate and make recommendations.
XOVIES GOING TO ORIENT
For a cash consideration of about
5oo the Port of Portland will be ex
ploited throughout the Orient, including
the Straits Settlements, India, Aubtralia
and the Dutch East Indies by means of
motion pictures for a period of six
months, according to Albert T. Hoppe,
representing the Industrial Travelogue
' Tours, who said pictures were to be
taken in the ports of all the Pacific"
Coast cities and shown to manufacturers
and commercial people In the Orient
The matter was referred to the commis
sion's publicity committee.
A new ordinance providing for a slight
change in wharfage tariffs on handling
of hemp, box shook and a few other
commodities over the public dooks was
passed. Consideration of a dispute be
tween sheet metal workers aitd mill
wrights as to Just which class of labor '
should be working on certain lobs in con
struction of 8t. Johns terminal was re
fused by -the body.
EXTENDS DOCK REMOVAL PERIOD
Permission extending the period of
grace for removal of Pacific dock, above
the Hawthorne bridge, on the west side,
a property which has been condemned,
was extended until April 1, 1920. to
W. H. Webb, agent
Vancouver, Wash., may become a part
of the customs district of the Port of
Portland, if the Chamber of Commerce
of that city and other public bodies
approve.. The matter of enlarging the
customs district, which now extends
down only a far as the Portland flour
ing mills, has been up for a long time,
and the commissioners feel that while
they are at It Vancouver might well be
- included, and If not that city, then all
of the peninsula. Certain customs
charges paid outside the district are
waived within it ' - -

Representative Pou. North Carolina,
asked.
"By limitations on free speech and
free discussion and preventing assem
blages, the interpretation of which will
be made drastic by the courts." Com
pere replied, denouncing labor injunc
tions and efforts to prosecute labor or
ganisations under the Sherman antl-
trust laws, which he claimed Involved
no property rights.
"The coal strike Injunction restrained
Innocent and lawful acts, and prohibited
, things that individuals had a perfect

who desire to use physical force far the
overthrow of the government ; :
Under the bill, if a group of men
sought to work for the. repeal of the
prohibition amendment,' the plan of
electing senators by popular vote or
woman sufrage. It would be unlawful,
Oompers claimed.
"But only by force or violence," Rep
resentative Pcu interrupted.
"But moral fores is not excluded,"
Gompers replied.
"Would the bill be satisfactory if
moral force were excluded T" Repre
sentative Snell of New York, asked.
AGAINST WHOLE BILL
"I'm against the whole bill." Oom
pers replied.
Chairman Volstead, Minnesota, of the
Judiciary committee, declared there was
no disposition to punish anything but
physical forces seeking to overthrow the
government.
The committee, he said, was willing
to prevent the bill being made applicable
to moral force.
"There's nothing to prevent the ad
vocacy of anything peaceable," Vol
stead said.
Oompers then claimed the courts have
refused to back up assurances of con
gressmen to the effect of laws.
"I don't think 'the bill is necessary to
reach those few crazy, silly, vicious per
sons In the United States with the risk
of Jeopardising the freedom of all
others," Oompers said, pointing out that
the Federalist party, after passing the
first sedition bill, never was heard of
"except in history."
OPPOSES ALL BEDS
Oompers declared he wants it under
stood that the American Federation of
Labor was unequivocally opposed to
"red" activities.
"I doubt if there Is anyone among
our people more opposed to the 'reds'
than I am," Oompers said.
"The standpatters, reactionaries and
fools in congress may hate me, but none
so much as the 'reds.' "
"What do you mean by th fools in
congress?" Campbell asked.
"I'm afraid I would be guilty of lese
majesty if I mentioned any names," he
replied.
"Isn't it a reflection on a constituency
that would elect a fool to congress?"
Campbell asked.
"Almost anything happens once in a
lifetime," Oompers replied.
PALMER SUBMITS BILL
Palmer, In a letter to the committee,
declared that neither the Graham nor
the Sterling bills are satisfactory to
him, but legislation along the line he
previously suggested is necessary. He
submitted a copy of the bill he desires
to be passed, which is that of Represen
tative Daye of Ohio.
The attorney general stated the bill
was prepared only at the request of a
senate committee. To the surprise of the
committee. Palmer made no recommen
dation that any bill pass.
He simply stated that "of course, the
department of justice stands ready to
enforce any bill passed by congress."
PERMITS FOR DRIVES.
President's Council Asks Officials
to Enforce Ordinance Regu
lating Subscriptions.
"The city ordinance requires that all
organizations soliciting funds, except
for certain patriotic purposes, shall se
cure a permit from the city. The city
auditor reports that all permits out
standing expired on January 1. Yet
there are driven under way in Portland
now. The city council has asked the
presidents' council of civic and busi
ness clubs to recommend action as to
applications for permits. The heads of
the clubs Can not render a service of
value unless the city makes it clear
that the ordinance requiring permits will
be enforced."
Thus ran the proceedings of the
presidents' council following the Ad
club meeting at the Benson hotel
Wednesday afternoon. It was voted
that the city council be asked to Issue
formal notice directing organizations
planning drives to arrange for appear
ance before the presidents' council. A
committee composed of E. N. Strong, A.
C. Newlll and E. R. Wiggin, presidents,
respectively, of the Ad club, Oregon
Civic league and the Klwanls club, was
named to report formally upon the
merits of a suggestion for a common
budgeting system to be used in concert
by all organizations that support their
work iy public subscription. The presi
dents' council Is to hold its next meet
ing in conjunction with the Rotary club
inext Tuesday.
If the luncheon clubs follow the rec
ommendation of their presidents usual
noonday meetings will be dispensed
with during Shrine convention week -in
Portland. W. J. Hoffmann, chairman 7f
the convention committee, reported that
hotels and restaurants will be swamped

POWL COMET
GAZERS WATCHING
HOOVER LUMINARY
Republican and Democratic Tele
scopes Watch Visitor to Deter
mine Its Presidential Orbit.
Washington. Jan. 22. (X. N. S.)
Herbert Hoover is being watched
by Republicans and Democrats like
a hawk, so reports reaching the
capital say. He is one of the "in
dependents" who might very con
ceivably spill the presidential beans
for either party or both. Vigorous
though his denials ma be that he
has no such honors in mind; that
he is not a "politician"; that he is
temperamentally "unfit to get along
with," politicians and all the rest
see that the ground-swell in his fa
vor admittedly keeps on growing,
notwithstanding.
His "Independence" is perhaps the one
thing that appeals most to the public,
who say those whose business it is to
keep their ear to the ground, are tired
of "party men" and politicians.
So old style politicians here are re
ported to be trying to figure out what
would happen If both the regular parties
should carry out their threats and
"meet at all PWllppI" to fight out certain
complex political problems. Some of them
are said to have it all figured out that
while the "regulars" tore themselves to
pieces on that famous field, some "Ir
regular" like Herbert Hoover, on a non
partisan but simple "let's-get-back-to-buBinees"
platform, would make off with
all the votes.

Senator Norblad's bill, conferring upon
the port of Astoria wide powers of bond
ing without consulting the people of the
district, came under the disapproving
eye of Governor Olcott. In 4iia mes
sage, accompanying the remains of this
measure back to the senate from which
it emanated. Governor Olcott declares:
CLERICAL ERROR FATAL
"This is a measure making very ma
terial amendments to the general port
laws. Obstensibly It 's designed to af
fect the port of Astoria alone, but in
! reality it affects every port in the state.
I , Vi i BTtantlnn rt , 1 1 a nrntridftn rnl a .
tive to the Issuance of bonds. It would
apply likewise to the port of Portland
at such time as a bill affecting that port
passed by the special session becomes a
law. It will be noted that section three
of this bill declares an emergency. By
the use of this emergency clause the peo
ple within the confines of those ports,
as well as the state at large, are deprived
of an opportunity of expressing their
approval or disapproval of the terms of
the bill."
A clerical error in house bill 42, de
signed to make .more definite and cer-.
tain the towers of the state board of
fish and game commissioners in pur
chasing land for game farm purposes,
has resulted in the death of that measure
at the hands of the governor. As pointed
out in the official death message, both
the title and body refer to the measure
as amending sectlor three on "page"
287 of the general laws of 1915, whereas
it Is evident that he :egislators intend
to amend "chapter" 287. as the "page"
referred to deals with pawn 6hops and
not with game farms.
BILL PURELY LOCAL
"The title of the bill in question even
fails to mention that its- subject matter
relates to fish and game in any matiner,
consequently to allow it ..to go on the
statute books would in no way enhance
the powers of the fish and game com
mission and It might very materially af
fect the validity of the law relating to
the business of . persons loaning money
other than banks and trust companies,"
the governor's message concludes.
Other measures tailing under the
executive axe today, together with the
governor's message explaining his veto,
follow :
H. B. 20, by Edwaras. giving authority
to the state for the construction of a
bridge across the Nestucca river.
"It Is a measure of purely local type,
covering construction of a privately
owned bridge and should have had no
place In the consideration of the special
session."
S. B. 14. by Hurley, regulating the
grazing of non-resident owned livestock
upon unenclosed lands.
, "It will be noticed preferring to a sec
tion of the bill in qaion) that while
any persons violating the provisions of
this act shall be deeried guilty of a
misdemeanor, nevertheless no penalty at
taches against such persons, but on the
other hand heavy penalty does apply
against corporations. This provision of
the bill, in my mind, would make U
plainly unconstitutional should it become
a law."
H. B. 15, by committee on roads and
highways, relating to taxation of auto
mobiles In the hands of dealers, and de
claring an emergency.
While the objects of the bill may be
a worthy one in the main, I fall to find,
after a careful examination of its pro
visions, where any one of them is neces
sary for the Immediate preservation of
the nubile peace, health ana safety .

Stole Shonts'- Love
New York. Jan. 22. (I. N. S.) "Pre
posterous and a cruel slander," is the
answer of Mrs. Amanda C. Thomas,
through her counsel, to the charges
brought by Mrs. Theodore P. Shonts In
the latter's $1,000,000 suit for alleged
alienation of the late Mr. Shonts' affec
tions. It was declared the suit would be
vigorously contested.
Mrs. Shonts alleged that "the defend
ant did prey ruthlessly upon the said
Theodore P. Shonts and by her artifices,
immoralities and wiles enticed said
Theodore P. Shonts from the society of
the plaintiff and alienated his love and
affections for her."

Oldest Resident of
Benton County, Dies
Corvallis, Jan. 22. Benton county's
oldest citizen, J. Manley Currier, died

where he had spent 73 years of his life.
He crossed the plains with two sisters
and a brother-in-law when 19 years of
age, driving the first wagon to pass
along the southern route and through
the Umpqua canyon. He settled on the
donation land claim in South Benton
county in 1846. where he lived until his

Of Liquor Charge

and are now free.
The government asserted that Spray
and Curl hired a man 'to smuggle liquor
from .California for them. Their de
fense 'was that the man was told to go
to Baker, Or to buy the liquor, which
would not be a violation of the law.

LAUNCHED
U HOLMES OF
LA
He Was President of Bank and
He Formerly Served as Fed
eral Fuel Administrator.
La Grande,- Jan. 22. Fred J.
Holmes, federal fuel commissioner
for Oregon during the war and for
the past nine years president of the
La Grande National bank, died Wed
nesday afternoon from heart trouble
following a few hours' illness.
Mr. Holmes was one of the most prom
inent men in this section of the state.
Since childhood he has been a resident
of Union county, and he was a graduate
of Hill Military academy in Portland.
He began his business career as a
druggist, opening a pharmacy at Island
City, where he also owned the con
trolling Interest in tho M. & M. store.
A few years later he was appointed
cashier of the First National bank of
Island City.
Following the big fire In Island City.
14 years ago, Mr. Holmes moved to La
Grande. He was a leader in movements
for the good of the city and assisted on
numerous civic committees. He be
longed to the Elks, Masons and was an
active Shrlner.
Those surviving are his wife, one
sister, Mrs. Adelaide McKennon of
Clarksville, Ark. ; two brothers, E. A.
of Portland and William R. of Enter
prise, and three step-children, Mrs.
Clau e Scranton, Miss Nell and Grover
Grlmmett of La Grande.
Fred J. Holmes was one of the dollar
a year men who left his business to
take care of Itself during the war while
he djfectod the fuel administration in
Oregon. He was appointed federal fuel
administrator for Oregon by Dr. Harry
A. Garfield in the fall of 1917, from
which time until the close of March.
1919. he occupied offices In the North
western bank building in Portland.
Among the achievements of Holmes in
his fuel administrative capacity were
the early fuel buying movement, which
saved Oregon from the suffering ex
perienced in other portions of the coun
try during congested transportation con
ditions ; the creation of maximum fuel
prices, dispensation of Information on
efficient methods of heating and fuel
conservation, and, indirectly, the pass
ing of the city ordinance requiring a
minimum temperature of 69 degrees in
rooming and apartment houses, through
his reporting of profiteering landlords
to the mayor.
Cold Eeleases Its
Grip in Measure;
Minimum Is at 31
A slight break in the cold Snap is In
dicated In today's forecast by the
weather bureau. Tonight and Friday
unsettled, with occasional threatening
weather; northeasterly winds, it reads,
being based on a barometric depression
developing in California. Meteorologist
Edward L. Wells does not look for any
decided change or precipitation, how
ever. The minimum temperature for Port
land this morning was SI degrees above
while at North Head, at the mouth of
the Columbia river, it was 28, an un
usually low mark, although nowhere
near a record. Baker had 22 above and
Walla Walla 2, both moderating tem
peratures as compared with Wednes
day, Roseburg, 88, and Marshfleld, 10.
Shriners Clamor
For Rooms During
Big Meet in June
With practically all the hotel space
assigned for the Shrine convention next
June, various temples over the country
are clamoring for downtown accommo
dations, Mark Woodruff, secretary, said
this morning.
Lincoln high school will accommodate
about 1500 visitors. The gymnasium al
ready has been reserved for housing the
Indianapolis delegation and the class
rooms were this morning reserved for
the 600 Helena. Mont., visitors. The
rooms wlil be fitted with iron- cots and
other facilities. Other high schools and
public institutions will be also pressed
into service. The committee is con
sidering the advisability of erecting a
tent colony upon some of the park
blocks. Volunteer workers have signed
up to canvass prescribed portions of
the city for vacant rooms in the resi
dence portions.

SAPIRO TO WHEAT MEN
Pullman, Wash.. Jan. 22. Speaking
to a packed auditorium Wednesday
night, Aaron Saplro of San Francisco
outlined his plan for the cooperative
marketing of wheat to the session of the
Washington Wheat Growers' associa
tion, j
"Stop marketing your own 'wheat.
Give all your attention to the produc
tion of wheat, and hire someone; to sell
it for you that can make th i selling
game his business," was his advice.
He pointed out that the prune and
raisin growers in his state were, hand
dllng their products through a coopera
tive association with the consequence
that the market there is absolutely dom
inated by the growers themselves. With
all the power in their hands, he stated,
they have always asked but a fair
price.
He cited the present inefficiency of
the system of handling the wheat
through the Liverpool-Chicago ex
changes, and cited Instances to show
that the board of trade has intercepted
crop reports from foreign markets in
order that the speculators would ben
efit. He outlined the plan for the asso
ciation to handle the wheat crop di
rectly, and indicated that they s would
be non-profit sharing organisations,
whose membership would be strictly
limited- te wheat growers.
Each organization in a state would
have 15 members acting as a board
of directors, all being growers except
one who would be chosen by the dean
of (he State College of Agriculture, he
said, and each member would contract
to deliver his product for a period of
six years. Through the power of col
lective credit obtained from the federal
reserve banking system, he pointed out.
arrangements would be made for a
system Of trade acceptances of , prom
issory notes so that the grower would
receive money for his product Imme
diately upon turning the wheat Over to
the warehouse. As control of but 86
per cent of the wheat 4a any one dis
trict means control of the market within
such district, the signing up of a quar
ter of the wheat land in the district
would mean virtual control, he said.
"There is no war between the asso
ciation and the miller ; there is no war
with the legitimate dealer; but war has
been declared on the speculator' said
Sapiro.
