truck the rock at the foot of the
cliff. Her husband, who had been
standing beside her, posing for a
photograph with the picturesque
falla in the background, attempted
to' save her. Me seised her foot as
he' toppled, evidently overcome by
vertigo, but his hold slipped.
The Pollocks' home is in Treka. Cal.
They had come to Portland a few days
ago to attend the wedding of Pollock's
brother, P. R. Pollock, of 611 Kaat Ash
street Sunday's highway trip was one
of the concluding events, of their visit
It was necessary to draw up Motorcy
cle Officer C. Wiles and Deputy Sheriff
Wilson with ropes after they had
climbed down the rocky sides of the
cliff an dremoved the body. Previously
lira Pollock's brother had descended
and rescued the body from the position
In which it had fallen, partly In the
water.
POftIKO FOB FICTTEE
Mr. and JKrs. W. B. Pollock, who
were visiting Pollock's brother, P. Jt

the falls for a background.
P. R. Pollock was standing near the
left side of the bridge spanning the
gorge, preparing to take the photograph:
Standing close to the edge of the path
which runs along the cliff Mrs. Pollock
evidently became dixsy from the height.
Witnesses of the accident say she

out warning. Pollock, who waa stand
ing by her side, snatched at her, secur
ing a grip on one foot.
STRIKES SHARP ROCKS
Only for a second she dangled in his
grasp, then tumbled and rolled down
the? cliff, which Is on a steep angle, but
not perpendlculai .

CXOCD COKE SHAPED
All accounts agree that the tornado
struck in the. form of a cloud shaped like
an inverted . cone, coming from the south
west. Sunshine and then a driving rain
and hail storm preceded 1L So clean
was the path cut out that persons liv
ing within a block of it first learned
of the tornado's visitation on going for
a stroll after It stopped raining, coming
suddenly on the wrecked homes nearby.
In Chicago and its suburbs there Ire
31 known dead, 500 injured and 1500
homeless. The hospitals are filled al
most to overflowing and martial law has
been put in force in the districts hardest
hit The property,Jos in Illinois alone
was estimated at$20,000,000. The fact
that the destruction was not more com
plete within the Chicago city limits was
attributed to the warding off of the
storm by Lake Michigan, which alwavs
has been regarded as an insurance
against tornadoes here.
CUTS WIDE PATH
The suburban towns and cities near
Chicago were the scenes of the greatest
havoc In some portions of these the
"twister" cut a path nearly half a mile
wide and several blocks long, bounding
back into the atmosphere after each vis
itation, to rip down later into some com
munity farther eastward.
Homes were ripped to splinters every
where in Its path, as though they had
been rent asunder by highly explosive
shells, their occupants pinned beneath
the wreckage. Churches, some of them
with the congregations at prayer inside,
were torn to pieces with startling swift
ness. Trees were uprooted, telegraph

Elgin, about 40 miles from Chicago,
waa one of the greatest sufferers; There
the storm killed eight persons and cut
a path 1000 yards wide through A Vg
portion of the business and residence
sections. In a flash the scene in the
town was one of buildings collapsing and
pitching themselves into the street, with
their roofs flying through the air with
trees and other debris.
PASTOB'8 WO EDS DRAMATIC
In the Elgin Congregational church
the Rev. 3. W. Welch, pastor, had barely
finished the benediction "We must al
ways be prepared since we know not
when our time is coming" when the
storm struck the church. Ail of the doors
were blown in and a moment later the
roof and steeple crashed down on the
congregation, killing two and injuring 20.
As the horror of the disaster grew,
speedy relief measures were taken in
Chicago's loop district, where: the sun
was shining brightly during most of the'
havoc wreaking In other sections. A
force of nurses and physicians waa
rushed to the stricken areas, relief funds
were stsrted by the newspapers and sev
eral oompanies of state militia were dis
patched to the storm smashed districts.
The soldiers weretgiven orders to shoot
to kill all detected In the act of rob
bing the stricken homes. Officials of
the Red Cross in Chicago went to the
devastated areas and made plans for
speedy relief measures.
Melrose Park, just outside the city
limits, was a greater sufferer in point
of lives than was Elgin, though the
property damage was not so great.
There nine persons wee killed and
scores hurt.
RESIDENCES DEMOLISHED
After striking Melrose Park, the tor
nado bounded over a large portion of
northern Chicago and struck in the fash

cores of residences of the wealthy In
the latter suburb and demolishing 20

THIRTY-FIFTH INFANTRY
AT VANCOUVER POST
The Presidents' Council of Portland's
business and civic clubs has determined
to press Its recommendation that the
Thirty-fifth infantry be stationed at
Vancouver military post The- council
has received assurances of support from
Rnator" Chamberlain and McNary and
Congressman Sinnott. and also a letter
today, from Adjutant General P. C Har-
r,s at Washington, which contains these
assertions
"Legislation to effect a reorganiza
tion of the army is now pending; In con
gress and until this is enacted into law
it would be inadvisable to make any
radical moves or changes of stations on
account of the expense involved, both to
the government and the personnel con
cerned. '
"As soon as this is done and the fu
ture size, organization and policy of the
army is determined your wishes will re
ceive careful attention."
At a meeting Saturday the Presi
dents' Council took a strong position in
support of appropriations by the city
council for park band concerts during
the coming year. It was urged that
this Is to prove Portland's "show year"
and that the musical features will prove
of the utmost importance in connection
with the pleasure of Portlanders and of
thousands of visitors.
E
TREATY ATTITUDE
(Continued From Fage Ob.)
shift In the last year, but there are signs,
that decided changes may come to alter
the battle lines. -
In the , larger political sense, inde
pendent of the treaty, Sealator Walsh's
estimate of the probabilities in the next
senate is of interest The terms of
17 Democrats and 15 Republicans ex
pire regularly next year, and two un
expired terms are also to be filled,
caused by the death of Senator Martin
of Virginia and Senator Bankhead of
Alabama, both Democrats, and both
certain to have Democratic successors.
Democrats whose terms regularly ex
pire next year are Beckham of Ken
tucky, Chamberlain of Oregon, Fletcher
of Florida, Gay of Louisiana. Gore of
Oklahoma, Henderson of Nevada, John
Son of South Dakota, KIrby of Arkan
sas, NUgent of Idaho. Phelan of Cali
fornia, Smith of South Carolina, Smith
of Georgia, Smith of Arizona, Smith
of Maryland, Thomas of Colorado and
Underwood of Alabama.
Republicans whose terms will end are
Brandegee of Connecticut, Cummins of
Iowa, Curtis of Kansas, Dillingham of
Vermont Gronna of North Dakota.
Harding of Ohio, Jones of Washington.
Lenroot of Wisconsin, Moses of New
Hampshire, Penrose of Pennsylvania,
Sherman of Illinois. Smoot of Utah,
Spencer of Missouri. Watson of Indiana
and Wadsworth of New York.
NARROW MARGIN LIKELY
Republicans pin their main hopes of
gaining seats on Idaho, South Dakota
and Colorado, and also are optimistic
as to Nevada. California and Maryland.
The Democrats believe they have ex
cellent prospects to gain seats In New
lork, Missouri and Utah, and that they
may also win Connecticut Ohio and In
diana. New York and Connecticut
usually elect Republican senators, but
Wadsworth and Brandegee. it Is con
ceded, will have some real fighting to
do this year If they return.
All the senators whose terms eznlre
next year will be candidates again ex
cept Johnson of South Dakota, Demo
crat and Sherman of Illinois, Repub
lican. Several have strong opposition
for renominatlon, however. Four other
candidates will fight with Senator Gay
for the nomination of his party in
Louisiana, Senator Gore is expected to
have a close contest with Congressman
Scott Ferris ln Oklahoma and Senator
Thomas has a strong rival in Colorado
In the person of Congressman Edward
T. Taylor.
Balancing the probabilities, it appears
that the next senate will show only a
narrow margin, whichever party wins
the presidency and the house of repre
sentatives, which usually swing to
gether.

(Ceprrltht 1920. by Chicago DaQy Nsvt Oa.)
London. March 29. It has been
many a long day since the political
pot has boiled so violently as It Is
boiling today. Prime Minister Lloyd
George, for the coalition, .Mr. As
qulth for the independent liberals,
and Arthur Henderson tor the labor
party, are striving for the mastery,
while Viscount Northcliffe. with his
great newspapers, maintains a rather
detached position ready apparently
to support any party likely to de
stroy the coalition which he re
gards as a combination of incom
petence, waste aAd failure.
Labor will fight for every London
seat at the next general election. At
this moment it Is attacking the coali
tion in six constituencies, displaying
the utmost energy and electioneering
skill.
VAC SAMARA 19 FIGHT
These contests are taking place in
Northampton, Northwest Camberwell,
North Edinburgh, Dartford, Basing'
stoke and Stockport By far the most
exciting contest is that in Camberwell,
where'T. J. MacNamara, the new min
ister of labor, is fia-hting for his life.
The number of electors In this con
stituency Is 30,751, and of these more
than 13,000 are women.
Probably no conservative candidate
will run, but Andrew Bonar Law. lead
er of the conservatives, has indorsed
MacNamara on the ground that the
coalition is as necessary now as it
was for winning the war. MacNamara
is repeating Lloyd George's assertion
that the Labor party Is really bent on
seising all property and striking I
death blow at private enterprise.
Asqulth's party is running a candl
date whose main point Is indicated by
the slogan. "Down with the coalition.1
Lady Bonham Carter, who aided her
father, Asqulth. .so notably in beating
all opposition at Paisley, will do her
utmost to poll the women's vote for
the Liberal candidate in Camberwell.
LLOYD GEORGE ATTACKED
However, Miss Susan Lawrence, the
Labor candidate, is receiving assur
ances of support from great numbers
of women. Altogether it is a pretty
fight
Back of these local struggles, with
their color and hubbub, goes on an in
visible but strenuous and bitter con
test for paramountcy In the nation.
Lloyd George's 'lightning rod'
speech, in which he pleaded for a na
tional democratic party made up of
Conservatives and Liberals, is attacked
from many directions. Viscount North
cliffe assails it, Asqulth and his lieu
tenants assail it and Alfred Gardiner,
former editor of the Dally News, pours
upon It an almost blinding stream of
fiery rhetoric Lloyd George .Is charged
with having "dropped the mask of lib-
'eralism" and with standing forth not
only as a salf-favored "champion of
vested Interests," but as a preacher of
class war.
THEY CALL HIM TORY
Whether the resourceful Welsh states
man 'will-be P. te outrival his ad
versaries ' now, as he has so often
done before, remains to be seen. Cer
tainly, he appears to have his work
cut out for him. Asquith is attacking
his whole argument and position, while
the Independent heavy artillery, such
as Sir John Simon, is thundering
against him in the provinces. While It
seems to most people absurd to speak
of Lloyd George as -the tory leader,
yet It is true that his proposed party
of liberalized Conservatives and con
servatized Liberals, with their uncom
promising anti-Socialist platform, would
be the nearest approach to a tory party
left In Great Britain. '
If it stood for liberalism absolutely
that is, for progressive democracy it"
would stand for toryism relatively.
However, I 'can see nothing in it ma
terially different from the Asquithian
liberalism, for the Asquithians oppose
Socialism and Bolshevism quite as
stoutly as do the politicians of the
coalition.

LAW BEING BROKEN
Salem, March 29. Whether
through ignorance of. the law or
through indifference thereto, nu
merous sand a.nd gravel companies
operating in the navigable streams
of Oregon are every jA&y violating
the state law, which forbids such
operations without permission from
the state land board, according to
George G. Brown, clerk of the board.
The law, enacted by the special legis
lative session of 1920. requires that be
fore any Sand or gravel may. be removed
from a navigable stream In this state
the company must first make applica
tion with the board, which is authorised
to sell the lease rights for a' term of
years after first advertising for bids. A
minimum price of 10 cents per cubic
yard has been adopted by the board for
these lease rights, which are expected
to bring several thousand dollars a year
Into the state's irreducible school fund.
Although the law bore the emergency
clause and became operative January
20, last only two lease rights have been
granted from the vicinity of Brandy bar,
between Gardiner and Scottsburg. inr the
Umpqua river. Bids are being adver
tised for at this time on the sand and
gravel rights In the Willamette river,
between the Oswego bridge and Haw
thorne bridge, the leases to be awarded
April 20. Five companies have made
application for these lease rights as fol
lows : . Columbia Digger company! Star
Sand company, Columbia Contracting
company. Diamond O Navigation com
pany and the Nlckum Kelly Sand &
Gravel company. With the exception
of these companies and a company op
erating In the Willamette river at the
mouth of Yanflilll river, all other sand
and gravel companies operating In Ore
gon continue to ignore the law. Brown
states.
Brown is not In a position to state
just what action will be taken to bring
these violators to task, except that he
declares that all sand and gravel com
panies will be expected to account for
their entire output from the date on
which the law became effective and to
reimburse the state for the same at the
rate at which the lease rights in their
respective sand and gravel beds are
finally sold by the state land board.

"I am fully persuadejd that a most

the' congregation of the First Meth

ing. '
So firmly convinced fe-as the pastor
of the benefits of religious advertising
that he based his sermon upon its pos
sibilities and known results. He said:
;. "Some months ago St. Louis awak
ened to find its whole streetcar system.
carrying mora than a 'million passen
gers dally, carrying gospel placards.
'Tor a month or mori these placards
were displayed and the whole city was
aroused. The advertising of Jesus
Christ and his gospel, rather than th
mere advertising of church meetings,
stirred a city.
"Modern advertising -Tmd publicity is
made up of something new and excep
tional. A new thing in church adver
tising would be to advertise religion
and Jesus Christ and the gospel of sal
vation or, possibly, to blase forth In
short sentences displays" from the great
doctrines.
"The worth of the St Louis venture
was this: The effective advertising of
?od's -great salvation for all who would
come unto him, and tRIs was done in
the simple, direct passages of the scrip
tures, such as "Whosoever shall call
on the name of the -.Lord shall be
saved' ; The blood of the Lord. Jesus
Christ, his son, cleanest h us frbm all
Sin.' ; .
"The heaviest 'advertisers' among
the churches today are not advertising
religion or Jesus Christ, but are adver
tising controversy themselves and their
own theories. They are paying too
much attention to self ; and not enough
to Christianity."
