INVESTIGATE BOARD
ROUND-UP LIST OPENS
Oust Japanese
To Make Room
ForMihites on
Public Market
Chinese and Japanese merchants
in -the Yamhill street public markets
were removed from the more desira
ble stalls they have been occupying
between Fourth and Fifth street! bjf
order of Market Master Eastman
Wednesday morning, and their
places were given to white garden
ers who are American citizens.
At a meeting In Commissioner Bige
low's office last week, the apportionment
of space for the dealers in the market
was rearranged.
PBOTJJST OVEEEtlED
It was decided that on September 1
the Orientals would be shunted down to
the stalls between First and Second
streets.
Commissioner Bigelow said there was
some protest from the Japanese over the
new arangement, but they were over
ruled as It was felt that American
gardeners were entitled to more consid
eration than they have been getting.
Previously, it is said, the Japanese and
Chinese have been getting Into the mar
ket very early In the mornlns. and on
Saturdays they would take up their sta
tions soon after midnight in order to
have the best locations for the big week
end business.
WHITE HANDICAPPED
The white men have felt unwilling to
keep these hours and as a result usually
have had to take tne poorer stalls.
Under the new arrangement, the Amer
ican gardeners get both sides of Yamhill
street between Fourth and Fifth streets,
and the north side of Yamhill between
Third and Fourth. The Italian garden
ers are given, the south side of Yamhill
in the same block. The first eight stalls
east from Third street on each side of
the street are thrown open indiscrimin
ately to the Americans and the Italians,
and the balance of the space on east
ward is devoted exclusively to the Ori
entals.

DID OREGON
. 0. P. Treasurer Says State
Sent Him Only $2,551.50;
Local-Republicans Say It Was
$20,000; Why the Discrepancy?
By Ralph Watson
What has happened to $17,450.50
of the 320,000 campaign fund con
tributed by the Republicans of Or
egon and forwarded to Fred W. Up-
ham, chairman of the Republican
national committee?
Thomas H. Tongue Jr., chairman of
the Republican state central committee,
contends that the amount sent to the
national treasurer totaled $20,000.
Ralph E. Williams, national commit
teeman from Oregon, raises the ante a
few dollars and says that "between
$20,000 and $21,000 was raised by volun
tary subscription and sent from this
state to the treasurer of the national
committee."
UPHAM'S TALE DIFFERS
Jack Day, chairman of the Multnomah
county central committee, adds his testi
mony by saying that "$20,000 has been
raised and sent east, solicitation has
ceased and no more money will be sent
from this state."
But. now comes Fred W. Upham,
treasurer of the national committee,
keeper of the campaign cash of the Re
publican organization, official recipient
of Republican campaign contributions,
and gives another qouta.
Oregon, the treasurer of the national
committee told the committee of the
United States senate which has been
delving Into the slush fund charges
made by Governor Cox, has contributed
between June 14 and August 28. of this
present year, the small and Insignificant
um of $2551.50.
Newa comes from Chicago saying, "A
sheet read into the record by Mr. Up
ham showed, he said, the amount col
lected In each state for state and na
tional campaigns with the state quotas."
Then the amount which the treasurer
of the national committee. In the list
submitted by him tor the record, showed
that the sum received from Oregon Re
publicans amounted to $25SIS0, of which
I9SI.I7 was for the national and $1563.13
waa to be used in the state campaign.
WHEBE HAS IT G05ET
What has become of the rest of the
cash, some $17,450.50 of big iron men.
sent rolling on their way. to the coffers
of the national committee by the leaders
of the Oregon G. O. P. 7 Did those
round dollars leak 'out of the United
States mall between the Portland post-
office and the national strong box in
Chicago? Has some bold Burleson
bandit robbed the mall sack or looted the
express box or committed highway rob
bery any place along the line? If not,
where the dickens has all the cold c&ah
gone?
State Chairman Tongue says tne zo.-
000 was sent to Mr. Upham. County
Chairman Jack Day adds his cumulative
testimony to the same effect. He says
$20,000 was raised and sent east. Na
tional Committeeman Ralph K. Wltllams,
a banker and a careful man, used to
counting money without mistake, says
that the treasurer of the national com
mittee was sent "between . $20,000 and
$21,000 from this state."
Unham. In the list he submitted to
the senate committee, says he received
$2551.50 from Oregon, one eighth of the
amount that Oregon Republican leaders
say has been forwarded to htm.
A proportionate discrepancy the coun
try over would run the difference into
the millions. .
MAT HAVE SH,M,0
If National Treasurer Upham haa fol
lowed the Oregon proportion in hia re
port of campaign contributions received
from all of the 48 states of the Union
he must have in his campaign sack
eight times the $3,000,000 given by him
as his total receipts, or $24,000,000. If
he overlooked seven eighths of Ore
gon's contribution, did he overlook
seven eighths of the sums sent in by
New York, by Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illi
nois and all the rest of -the big states,
and the little ones? Did he get $3,000.-
000, as he haa reported, or $15,000,000,
aa Governor Cox has contended, or $24.
000,000 as his Oregon ratio would seem
to Indicate?
It is a very Interesting situation. It
National Committeeman Williams, State
Chairman Tongue and County Chairman
Day have been telling the truth, and no
one' who knowa them win doubt that
fact, then National Treasurer Upham re
ceived between $20,000 and $21,000 of
Oregon money contributed by Republi
cans of Oregon to the, national cam
paign fund. Upham testifies under oath
before the senate investigating com
mittee that he received $2561.50 from
Oregon. What's the answer? Where's
the money? How much did he really
get altogether?

two Jioura before he waa tnni
By Dorothy Thompson
Cork, Aug. 12. (By Mall.) (L N.
S.) "Surely you occupy a very
dangerous position," I said gravely
to Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor
of this city. In the course of a long
exclusive Interview.
A strange, almost mystic smile stole
over his features., and in his eyes there
sec tried to be. for Just a second, a flash
of- premonition. '
"Yes, I suppose so," he 'replied slowly,
then added with another smile, 'If I
were to think about It."
Two hours after 1 left the city hall It
was raided by the military. The lord
mayor and 10 others were arrested. All
of them refused to recognise the court
martial before -7hlch they were ar
raigned. (
COURT CALLED ILLEGAL
MacSwiney declared boldly that the
court w as Illegal and that the only agen
cies with authority to arrest him or bis
fellows were those of the "Republic of
Ireland." He refused to accept a sen
tence. "Dead or alive, . I shall be free In a
month," he fairly shouted to his cap
tors. "For I shall not take a morsel of
food until I am released."
Terence MacSwiney was elected lord
mayor on the Sinn Felr. ticket in an un
contested election following the death of
his predecessor, Thomas McCurtaln'. The I
latters mysterious death still is fresh
in all minds. All Ireland was agog at
the time, for a local Jury held that he
had been murdered ty the British police
and the British government. It brought
in a verdict against Individual members
of the police and against David Lloyd
Oeora-e and Lord French.
MacSwiney is a aienaer, rimer youxn-

In a thicket of black lashes, an Impul
