The habeas corpus proceedings insti

New York, July 19.- The one
thing settled beyond argument ' In
the cup racing to date is that the
Resolute can beat the livers and
lights out of the Shamrock going to
windward In light airs. In the first
race she had the green one half mile

after they, had v cowered ,1 0 miles

Saturday, . Lieutenant Commander
Downs of the Semmes brought his

allels into actiqn and showed where
the Shamrock was about a mile-to
leeward; and any sailing man can
tell you r that Is fine beating for
the distance. ."''vf--..Vr.i, l i
Another thing settleo Is that they need
on the Shamrock someone who knows
local airs and tides without looking up
the coast chart book or a weather bul
letin from Washtngton.

A most unlucky man is the Sham

wind. Every time he broke tacks with
the Resolute in the first race, he lost
out : whfle -. in Saturday's race, after
tacking ship for the first buoy, he found
himself hung up for 20 minutes with
nothing to do but flap in the dead air,
and the Resolute meantime skipping oil

the time he rounded the - buoy. ; the
Resolute was six miles or so down the

SOMETHING WEOIfO ABOARD
' That sort ofthing takes-the heart out
of a crew. One time In Saturday's race
he did catch a breese that brought nim
down on the Resolute in the most , en
couraging fashion, before it died down.
He made up about a mile off bis pre
vious leeward slide, but it was a breese
he had not gene hunting for. He Just
happened to be in the way- when it
came along..
Another thing that seems to be estab
lished Is that the Shamrock's crew are
too sluggish for a racer, JfJo doubt the
Resolute's crew are well trained, up on
their toes and eager to serve, and the
Shamrock's crew have larger, and so
heavier, sails to handle. Allowances
should be made. Jfo doubt, but that does

Joachim's wound was self-inflicted. His
life of 28 years has been full of mis
fortune, i Family troubles, which did not
culminate with the flight of his father
to Holland, but which have, pursued him
ever since, are .believed to have . un

OF PREJUDICE
Some Big i Influence in East Is
; Constantly Aroused to Show
Bias Against Columbia Biverj
Senator Chamberlain Declares.
Realization that Portland, because
of her natural advantages, is bound
to become a front rank port of the
Pacific ; seems to have awakened
some big Influences in the East to
the need ! of constantly arousing
prejudices J against Portland, 'said
Senator George E. Chamberlain Mon
day noon in addressing "the mem
bers' forum luncheon at the Cham
ber of Commerce. ' t ! j
: The best illustration that the Influence
Is constantly at work, . according to
Chamberlain, is that great difficulty is
being encountered with the navy depart
ment in having ships dispatched to the
Columbia river, -.v.".--.;"-;:-.:.,:-- j
There is no bar at the mouth-of the
Columbia, said Chamberlain, "and tl
would not like to think that navy offi
cers are not property informed as to
conditions, but I have been informed
that maps being . used by the naval
school are 60 years old. -GROWTH
HAS BEE IT GREAT
Portland has seen great growth as la
port in the last two years, but - It has
been mainly because of the initiative of
its business men. We must be at work
constantly counteracting .the prejudices
which are being aroused all .the time at
some point in the East. !
"We must not depend entirely upon
the government for aid in obtaining ahtp
allocations, although we must insist upon
square treatment. If we depend too
much it will destroy the initiative that
has already pushed the port forward. If
pleas for allocation fail I would suggest
that Portland build her own vessels, j-
The manner in which this prejudicial
Influence has asserted Itself is readily
seen .in the recent decision of the Ship
ping board to make Seattle the- head
quarters of the boar for tha Northwest.
Yet:irrri positive that records will show
that Portland has shipped more cargo
in American bottoms out of the Colum
bia river than Seattle has 'shipped out
of the , Pugeti Sound , this year.',' , .
LEGISLATION IS DISCUSSED
Chamberlain discussed the federal re
serve and farm loan acts of the Demo
cratic . administration' and the shipping
and water powers acts of the Repub
lican - administration, pointing to these
as the four 'greatest pieces of legislation-
produced In the last four years.
The matter of rebabJlitatioB is one of
vast importance, . according to the Ore
gon senator, who said that America as
the creditor nation of the world must
aid in the rehabilitation of European in
dustry so that the countries on the other
side of the , Atlantic-may repay their
debts through the shipping of products
to this country. " '.-!
"Railroads ef the country are running
far behind and an Increase in rates j is
an absolute necessity." said Chamber
lain. "It may be possible that these
rates will be prohibitive for the western
states and in that case we must depend
upon shipment of our goods by water
to the Atlantic ports." ; i f , " .
The senator concluded - bis . address
with a plea for a constant exertion of
initiative upon the part of . Portland
business men, ,i declaring that business
wit would overcome the obstacles In the
pathway- which leads to success for the
port of , Portland. v. . . s j

Weather conditions that , hardly
could have been improved upon pre

first parties had reached the summtt but
it was-1 o'clock before the last perspir

for years said the trip Sunday was the
best the club had ever made. .

Plans worked out precisely. From the
time the first cars left Portland Satur
day morning, the weather man did his
best for the mountain climbers. x Satur
daynlght at the Umber line it was com
paratively . warm and the comfortable
conditions put the crowd in good condi
tion for the Sunday test. .
The ascent was made under the direc

sama local walks committee, A. Boyd
Williams guiding the party to the top.
Although the Willamette valley and the
country Just west of the mountain was
veiled m clouds, far reaching views in

prepared for the visitors by the forest
service officials at the fire lookout sta

NEW ROUTE I INTERESTING' -
For persons who had not climbed Mt

much Interest in the new route from Cra

"big crevasse" is entirely avoided, the
ropes having been placed to the left of

G. 0. P. Nominee Says if Elected
He Will Refuse to Take Any
Steps for Ratifying Treaty if
uovenanx 5 tan as as at rresent.
By Raymond Clapper .
Marlon, Ohio, July 19. (U. P.)
Senator Harding, if elected president,
will refuse to take any steps toward
ratification of the treaty of Versailles
while the League of Nations cove
nant stands intact, according to the
view of his friends here today after
a careful study ,of the Republican
nominee's latest attack on the pro
ject. H
TO MEET WITH COX
The Republican presidential nominee,
they declared, has . -decided to go to
the mat with Governor Cox over the
league Issue. He is confident, , they
said, that the country Is opposed to en
tering the league as it was formulated
at Paris.
: Harding scored ' the treaty of Ver
sailles and the League of Nations as
Involving a "mistakenly plighted rela
tionship of the United States to Ku
rope." A preliminary treaty should have
been made immediately after the ar
mistice in 19 IS and tha question of a
League of Nations should have been
considered later and Independently of
the treaty, Senator Harding Indicated.
HARDING'S STATEMENT
Harding's statement was prompted by
a statement by Colonel House, formerly
the president's confidential adviner, who
miwu wtc&b JUKI ancrr ino armiBin ,
the suggestion was made In Paris that
the allies at once make a preliminary
peace with Germany based upon broad
lines. Harding's statement said
We are beginning to understand the
mistakenly plighted relationship of the
United States to Europe Just In time to
proceed to a referendum Intelligently.
The-one representative of this country
other than the president who best knew
the whole situation at Paris was Col-
onej House. e wiia now in a cabled
statement from London, the suggestion
of a preliminary peace treaty was made
very soon after the armistice and that
such a treaty could have been made be
fore Christmas, 1919.
JUST LIKE 0. 0. P. "
"All along this has been the Repub
lican conception of what o4ight to have
been done, but this is the first official
knowledge that Europe wished each a
procedure and was deterred by us In ex
pediting peace. The authentic relation
Is Interesting at the moment when it Is
announced that the continuation of Dem
ocratic administration means a continu
ation of the history of the foreign pol
icy which has so grievously diss pointed
both Europe and America."
Harding's attack on the league to
day was his second within a week, both
statements openly displaying hostility
to the covenant. Furthermore, he has
announced his opposition to virtually
all of President Wilson's foreign poli
cies,' including his proposed Adriatic
settlement, his alleged proposal to
award Thrace- to Bulgaria. Instead of
Greece, and the Armenian mandate.
Harding said he was glad to have
Cox -and Wilson express agreement on
the league issue.
He took the view this would make
the league fight clear-cut.
"The Republican party wants the
country to know that it rejects all
these ill-considered commitments and
pledges' its administration against
them," Harding declared.
: He also asserted heavy armaments
will nM.u,rv In rurrv ftnf t h..a
policies. ':
50,000 ARRESTS
FIRST DRY SEASOil
Washington. July 19. (U. P.)
More than 80,000 arrests were made
during the first six months of con
stitutional prohibition Just clotted.
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer's
annual report, soon , to be issued, is
expected". to make this estimate.
Data on which Kramer la to' base the
report is being received from enforce
ment . agents all over the f untry. A
large percentage of arrests were made
by local police co-operating with Kramer,
but not directly responsible to him. The
number of these arrests can only be
estimated, slncu reports are received
only from federal agents by Kramer.
A total - of 50,000 urrests would ind I
cate that on an average of one in every
two thousand - persons in the United
States was charged with violation of the
prohibition laws.
This average, however, gives but an
Inadequate Idea, federal officials said,
of the actual number of violations of
the law, since presumably a large num
ber -of violators were not detected.
