WIFE'S I.OYE QUESTIONED
' Questioned as to his criticism of his
wife's sister, Mrs. Zelma Ball, he said
the affair had to do with rumored ac
tion of the latter at Bar View, which
be said was borpe out by the starting
ot divorce proceedings by Mrs. Ball
immediately upon her return from Bar
Vtew-In'the summer of 1918, and that
it was understood that Mrs. Ball was
to marry Mandvllle Robinson as soon
as the time limit expired after the di
vorce was granted, but that Ball en
tered the tank corps and this blocked
Mrs. Ball's plans.
He Ftiid that he does not think that
his wife was overly in love with him at
the time he married her, although he
thought f.o at the time. Asked as to
whether ho had not always found her
truthful, he said : '
"She deceived me one time about her
aire, saying she was one year older than
lie really was, explaining, that It was
because sh had to be of a certain age
h order to work in the telephono of-
fico."

Charged by Walsh
With Unfair Tactics
Washington, Feb. 21. (I. N. S,) Un
fair tactics were charged against the
senate subcommittee investigating the
federal trade commission fn the senate
today by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of
Montana.
Walsh read a questionnaire sent out
by the committee to firms against whom
proceedings were Instituted by the fed
eral trade commission.
"This questionnaire was not sent to
firms who were not prosecuted.1 It is
an action similar to asking a convicted
criminal his opinion of the Jury," Walsh
said.
Senator Townsend, chairman, of the
investigation committee, said all firms
will be given an opportunity to answer
the questionnaire.
"I have heard no objection even from
the federal trade commission on our
course," said (Senator Townsehd.

actually needed for J.he purchase of ves
sels. "The distinctive feature of this or
ganization is that it will he entirely a
Portland proposition," said Olmstead,
this morning. "We aim to supply this
port with shipping and are entering the
China field first because it Is the most
promising. For this service five ves-
sels bave been requested from the ship-
ping board and other requests will be
entered later.
ALLOCATIOSS ARE EXPECTED
"Little trouble should be met with the
shipping board in receiving allocation of
these vessels." said Stubbc, "because
this is distinctly a Portland service and
Portland shipping should be given pref
erence in allocations to this port over
the application of outside firms operat
ing into the local harbor."
Tho Columbia-Pacific Shipping com
pany was first organized as a Portland
concern in April, 1919. The original
ventura was made with a small capital
ization, but has proved so successful that
the new heads of the company can eee
nothing to hinder it becoming one of
the leading factors not only in the de-
' fain products.
I Through this operation agents for the
company have been established all over
the world and It will be an easy matter,
according to statements by the new own
ers, to develop trade in foreign coun
tries The Columbia-Pacific is also agent for
the Matson Navigation company of San
Francisco and the European-Pacific line
locally and as such have operated five
vessels for each of these companies outJ
of the Columbia river In the last nine
months. The company will continue to
give regular sailings in these services.
Some of the vessels operated out of
this port are now being managed by
the Columbia-Pacific company In coast
wise service between the United King
dom, Holland and Belgium.
Since the promptitude with which the
company will be able to place freight
i lines jn service depends for some time
on shipping board allocation of vessels,
i it is believed that the division of oper
1 ations will see tho necessity of aiding
! this practically new concern to become

BLACKLIST

SMOOT LEADING
Among Others Fervently Disliked

By Mildred Morris
Washington, Feb. 21. (I. N. S.)
Six senators, for first place are

These senators are Sraoot of Utah,
Meyers of Montana, Sherman of Illinois,
Thomas of Colorado. Cummins of Iowa
and Underwood of Alabama. These men

terty opposed at the polls by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
Tbo first named three, along: with
Pomerene of Ohio, King of Utah. Phlpps
of Colorado, Lodge of Massachusetts and
Penrose f Pennsylvania, who are not
up for reelection, have the "blackest"
anti-labor records in the senate, federa
tion officials announced today.
Senator Harding of Ohio and Senator
Polndexter of Washington, presidential
candidates, are on the blacklist as Is
Senator Gilbert Hitchcock of Nebraska.
Others on the senatorial side of the
list are: McCormlck of Illinois. Knox
of Pennsylvania, Moses of New Hamp
shire, .Nelson of Minnesota, New of In
diana, Watson of Indiana. Ransdell of
Louisiana, Robinson of Arkansas, Elklns

A

bass&dor can be received in Great Brit
ain or France or Italy or anywhere else,
our government must first inquire if the
Individual is personally satisfactory to
the head of the foreign state. Some
times a speech made by an ambassador,
or his personal attitude toward another
country expressed among his friends. Is
sufficient to bar him. The Judge in each
case is the government receiving the
ambassador. And in diplomacy every
member of the staff of a diplomat la
subject to the same rules.
Nevertheless the department of state
did transmit its reasons and while it is
jiot necessary to go into detail it is a
fact that Major Stuart was accused of
casting aspersions on a member of Presi
dent Wilson's own household.
He denied the charges. Our govern
ment repeated its demand that Major
Stuart be sent home,
The case rested
now on objections not merely of the sec
retary of state but a separate set of
charges which had made him undesirable
so far as the president of the United
States was concerned. Ordinarily a re
quest of this sort from the president to
a foreign ambassador would be granted
at once. But Major Stuart stayed on
for at least two months after that. He
went home with Viscount Grey.
While the latter was in the United
States, Major Stuart had charge of the i
ambassador's affairs and while it is true
that he was not on the diplomatic list
nor in the British diplomatic service,
our government construed him to be a
member of the ambassador's household
and as such subject to the supervision
or authority at least of the British am
bassador.
So Major Stuart was not sent home
and Viscount Grey was not received. Just
after the latter reached England he
wrote a letter to the London Times sup
porting the viewpoint of President Wil
son's opponents on the League of Na
tions. Though the document was a re
port to the British on the treaty con
troversy In America, there was not a
word In It of the president s illness and
the factors revolving about the part Mr.
Wilson had played in the whole business,
while considerable space waa devoted
to a justification of the viewpoint of
certain senators.
Officials may . minimize the import
ance of the Stuart Incident. They will
not want to give the impression that it
had anything to do with the coolness be
tween the White House and Vtscount
Grey.
But people who may be wondering why
the official relations between Great
Britain and the United States may not
be as smooth as they should be might
find an explanation in the fact that the
British empire has either kept its em
bassy here unfilled or sent men here
who have been unfortunate In their per
sonal relations with the White House.

tary authorities issued a proclamation
today ordering all residents of Dublin to

of the Sinn Fein volunteers. Many
houses and business firms were searched
and a large number of men arrested.
Armored cars and tanks were used by
the military.
Sinn Fein leaders continued cautious
in their comment on Lloyd George's
home rule plan. There was a notice
able change, however, in their attitude
ot refusal even to consider the premier's
measure.
Labor will wait and see what the pro
posed law brings forth. Alderman
William O'Brien, leader of the labor
body, asserted.
"We want to know more about the
plan before we decide whether we ought
to try to work it," O'Brien said.

Britain and France
Clash Over Russian
Trade Resumption
London, Feb. 21. Sharp differences
have developed between Great Britain
and France with regard to the allied
policy toward Russia. A diplomatic
battle has opened between Premier
Lloyd George, chief allied exponent of
the "peace with Russia" policy, and M.
Millerand. the French premier, who is
unqualifiedly opposed to that course.
The British prime minister has sus
pended consideration of the question of
peace with the Soviets pending the re
turn to London of M. Millerand next
Monday.
Lloyd George adheres to his plan,
which recently summed up in his reply
to the king's speech from the throne in
parliament, by saying that trade, not
force, will "save Russia."
The Italian premier, Signor Nittt, is
understood to be siding with Lloyd
George, there being a persistent clamor
among the Italian people for peace with
the Soviets.

Chicago Feb. 21. (TJ. P.) American
Institutions are the "hope of humanity."
according to a pastoral letter from the

Tho letter was signed by Cardinal Gib
bons. Catholic women are called on to be
moderate in dress and other forms of
display and thus curb "the craze for
pleasure." At present "the prescriptions
of plain decency and even the slightest
restraint of convention often are disre
garded." the letter said.
The right of labor to a living wage is
recognized as is capital's right to a fair
Say's work. "The good sense of our
people" wtll solve tho labor problem, the
letter said.

WILSON HOLDS KEY,
ITALIAN ASSERTS
Washington Must Not Be Ignored
or Chaos in Europe Follows,
He Declares.
London, Feb. 21. (U. F.)
President Wilson holds the key to
the Adriatic, a high Italian official
declared in an interview here tor
day. His statement was without
qualification.
Despite their admitted inclinations, the
allies dare not ignore Washington, he
said. They realize Europe would be
thrown into economic and political chaos
if it were to cut loose from the United
States.
The president's answer to the allied
note replying to his protest against thelr
proposed Adriatic settlement undoubt
edly will be unfavorable to Italy, he be.
Ileved. There is "room for argument,"
so far as the presidents position is con
cerned. The allies, he added, hope to
prolong the discussion until the eco
nomic, Turkish and Russian questions,
now before the council of premiers, have
been disposed of.
As to the president's attitude toward
the Turkish settlement the Italian of
ficial admitted Wilson "holds the Bos
phorous in the palm of his hand."
Premier Lloyd George, it was learned,
has become exceedingly irritable over
alleged leaks in the proceedings of the
council of premiers. He has opened each
session since receipt of the president's
note with a statement warning the con
ferees of the necessity for secrecy, it
was said. As a result of the premier's
attitude. French newspapers during the
last two days have been able to get
"little Inside information" on the coun
cil meetings.
Greece, it was learned, probably will
obtain sovereignty over the Gallipoll
peninsula, as a result of Premier Ven
izeios' statements to the council Thurs
day. The Ukrainian high commission has
handed to the council a petition for rec
ognition of its government, pointing out
that the allies already have recognised
the independence of Esthonla, Latvia,
Lithuania, Georgia, Aterbaijan and Ar
menia. The petition 'asked support for
the Ukrainian army in instructors and
munitions and economic assistance to aid
In the country's reconstruction. It was
learned semi-officially that Lloyd George
is disposed favorably toward the Uk
rainians and the question probably will
be taken up at the council's meeting
next week.
Choice Cut Meat So
Popular Cheap Cuts
Can't Be Sold Cheap
Chicago, Feb. 21. (U. P.) Beef prices
were lower in the stock yards here this
week than at any time since March,
1918. The average price of good beef
steers for the week was $12.90. Offer
ings were small today and trading low.
As in the grain markets here there
were indications governmental efforts
to reduce living costs played a part In
the cut in prices. In the grain markets
one of the principal factors in declines
was the grain corporation's appeals for
wider use of grain corporation flour and
the offering of wheat by it at Kansas
City at a price only 13 cents over the
basic. This was said to be less than a.
full carrying charge.
In retail markets there were no indi
cations that prices were to fall. Meat
dealers persisted in the statement that
cheap meats cannot be disposed of In
paying quantities since 99 per cent of
the demand is for- the rare and more ex
pensive cuts. Dealers in other lines
clung to the same idea in their respec
tive lines.

rosary in his hands. Sufficient money
was found In his pocket to secure burial.
The revelation of this execution cleared

the bullet-riddled body was found where
it had fallen.

"TODAY
REMAKING WORLD
IS GIGANTIC TASK,
DECLARES DAWSON
Former Army Officer Makes
Earnest Plea for Stronger Bond
of Sympathy Between Nations.
"Remaking the World." the sub
ject chosen by Conlngsby Dawson
for his lecture given Friday evening
at Masonic Temple, with a graphic
picture of the enormity of tho task.
jOko in ita aeeomrjllfihmnt. held
the close attention of a representa
tive audience of Portland folk at
the benefit given for the University
of Oregon women's tfuilding.
Lieutenant Dawson brings a message
to America, his adopted country, from
the war torn areas of France and Bel
gium where as a soldier and later as a
writer, he had access to unusual funds
of information and more recently from
Germany, where he has been since with
the armies of occupation.
The great ideals for which the allies
fought and in comparison a glimpse of
the German state of mind with specific
Information of the hopelessness of the
Industrial situation of the allied coun
tries were taken up in detail. That the
perman mind does not yet admit that
the allies won tho war except, perhaps,
as a military victory, was one of the
points made by the speaker.
"During; the war," said Dawson, "we
learned the habit of sharing. In the
trenches, in mud and water up to our
knees, we were thrust with men from
the gutters, from the slums, from every
station of life. But in the moment of
supreme danger, in the faco of a ma
chine cin. only that man was a hero or
an . istocrat or worth while who had
the courage to creep over the top, and.
sharing his life with his pels back there
In the trench, bomb that machine gun.
That is the ideal we fought for and
we must still fight for it so that in real
ity we shall have won the war. The Hun
is still making explosives of a sort, but
not for use in his own land. He is
teaching unrest, he is teaching anarchy
and dissension to weak men who are
In his country and who will soon be in
other lands, there to act as explosives
as we find them in Russia today."
A- plea for a greater bond of sym
pathy between the allied countries to
impress the marauder In the future that
he has not only to face America but
Great Britain and Franco and the oth
ers of those who shared in the cause for
right and an appeal for a broader friend
ship between those who have suffered
together so that they shall not suffer
again closed the lecture.

SETTLERS WILL SUE
IN CENTRAL OREGON
Grievance Over Water Rights Has
Been of Long Standing, It
Is Declared.
Bend. Feb. 21. Action will be brought
at once by some of the settlers on the
Central Oregon irrigation project to
oust the Central Oregon Irrigation pro
ject, according to II. 1L DeArmond, a
Bend attorney representing the dis
satisfied portion of the settlers. The
settlers will attempt, through legal pro
cedure, to cut off the company's rev
enues from the sale of water to the
settlers and to determine whether the
settlers own the water rights they hold
under contracts.
The grievances between the company
and the settlers have been long stand
ing, owing to the status of water rights
and the recent application of the com
pany to the desert land board to sell
additional water to the Lone Pine Irri
gation district, which lies outside the
boundaries of the Central Oregoit irri
gation district.
The desert land board and the state
i engineer recently made a proposal to
tho settlers and the company to arbi
trate their grievances, with the view to
a final settlement, but the settlers seem
to oppose this action.
The situation now is a tangled affair.
The recent refusal of the settlers at
an election to purchase the company's
holdings through a bond issue for ap
proximately $200,000 has only helped
to complicate matters.
