Tread well pf New York who arrived her today aboard the liner Adriatic with the body of her sister who wasi-the wife of Baron DeMumm, wine merchant and a German citizen. Mrs. Tread well asserted that her sister did not have any such amount of Jewels. Cable dispatches received In this coun try recently, said that the French govern ment had seized the DeMumm jewels . and that a fight loomed to determine their ownership that might assume In ternational aspects. "At ' Cherbourg the ' baggage was searched, but absolutely nothing was seised." said Mrs. Treadwell. "My sis ter neVer had any such Jewels. " She had only a few trinkets and never oared for expensive Jewelry. I cannot explain the rumor in any' other way than to say it 'must ' have been manufactured out of whole cloth, by a romancer who knew that Baron DeMumm waa wealthy. -i Flash Kills Horses; ; ; Driver Is , Unhurt Westphalia, Kan.

"Third, ustil reoently the government seemed to be,' In a -position where it eouldc go forward with existing tax pro visions and meet its - obligation from tax receipts with occasional resort to temporary j borrowing through tax cer tificates j but the situation has recently; threatened to be Changed for the worse. RAILROAD SITUATION BURDEN ' "Railroad legislation has placed a burden upon the ; treasury which, to gether wth appropriations asked for by tho railroad administration, may ap proximate i a billion dollars ; and now comes a threat of an additional burden from one billion to two billion in the shape of bonuses to soldiers, if the bill materialises ; then there must be ' in creased - taxes, Or worse, renewed bor rowings at Increased rates.

"The amASiag thing about this bonus proposal Is that -but very, few people in responsible - positions In Washington seem to "favordolng' this detriment . to the body politic; and equally striking is the fact that few of them have the cour age to saiy .so. and ta effer effective opposition. . ., ' wAVUosya k baks H X" cannot believe tha a majority of the fine i boys who patriotically re sponded to ' the call of their country would aek this subsidy if they knew what It involved.

The problem is theirs quite as definitely j as it Is the officials, but there must be something more than the cooperation of business men and bank ers. There must t cooperation from more than' part of the public, which is in a position to save and everybody must devote a little more "high " tension" to hard wqrk. Some people are not in a position to save but many can save who ars not saving, NEW TAX XS OPPOSES "Fifth, 4 undoubtedly no new " taxes should be imposed If they can be avokied: Rut they may not be avoided If many groups of people continue to clamor for appropriations.

HINT ESCAPE EA8ILT "Many of the corporations charged with profiteering . get off very lightly because they are so generously capital laed. and the tax is now confined to a part of their business. It does not apply to all business concerns, and. therefore. works unjustly. The substitution of a fiat rate on undistributed profits would place Incorporated and . unincorporated concerns more nearly on the same basis.

In' a highly satisfactory way, Bennett and others say. Seattle," for example, )ias a present total of J15,62, or an increase of 78,453 persons, rquallinjr 13.1 per cert. Portland's percentage perease ' sines 1910 ia 24.6 per cent. Is the decade be tween the enumerations 8etUe added to her population 11,000 persona when- the city encompassed greater territory. In the same period Portland added at. Johns, Linnton and lent witty n the city limits and apqvjtre4 an added population of 7200 persona - . V SPOKlE HAS IrCJtEASXB Spokkne. as a matter of fact, has actually increased, about 15,000 persona in the 10 year, although the official census shows that city has lost 198 pf her citizens, leaving her a total ef 104.204 as compared with 104,402 in 191. This peculiar state ef affaire. Is due to the .fact ; that, her- 1210 census was padded. . "Our percentage rrowth Is - perhaps above the average jot the cities of the nation. - a v f,... ;- "Had we taken our census during the war it would total at least 25,000 greater, or if - housing- conditions then had been right we could have kept il Portland most pf the war-time Influx of population. Instead of that, however, our war-time labor was forced to .board about town and as soon as the Industry paused, workmen left the city. Seattle has suffered, rnch the same loss." : DESTVEK IS COMFABED Indicative : of Portland's splendid growth is the comparison with Denver, a city of approximately Portland's size. Denver's census shows a present total of 256,389, or 42.988 In excess of the fig ures of a decade ago. Denver's percent age of increase is 20.1 as compared with Portland's 24. per cent.

DIBJECTOHY CITES '- Stft,M r The recent city directory estimate of Portland's population set the figure at 820,000, That "was an estimate obtained on the deduction that the average fam ily contains five persons. School and atlas - census estimates are mads on the same basis. -v: Since such a figure was proper, how ever, the average family has dwindled from five persons to approximately S.9, Bennett declares.' ' How Portland ha grown from a fren tier forest village to a metropolitan city is graphically illustrated in a summary of population estimates as prepared. Sat', urday by George, H. Himes. assistant sec retary of the Oregon Historical society. The first count mors a guess th&q an accurate enumeration ;was Jn 1850. when the estimate waa 300 people. A strictly local census was taken in 1860, showing a population of 2917. The first federal census taken here was In 1870, when 1347 was shown to be the record. Regular decennial censuses since have recorded a constant growth, with the largest "- numerical . jump between 1900 and 1910, which period showed the effect of the feewls A Clark fair's westward pull.
