Fourth Congressman From Oregon Possible; Newberry Must
Win Two Ways to Retain Seat Shipping Board
Handicapped by Uncertainty.
A Fourth Congressman
WASHINGTON, Dec 25. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OFTHE JOUR
NAL,) The Oregon politicians flitting
through "Washington have left behind
: them some Interesting speculation on
plans for making a new congressional
district In Oregon Jn anticipation of ac
tion by congress which will give to that
state an additional member.
While the first discussion centered
.around the splitting of Multnomah coun
ty, comprising the third district, and
making combinations with the segment
cut from it, there now appears to be a
more definite movement toward cutting
up the first district, which Is represented
by Willis C. Hawley, leaving the second
and third, represented by N." J. Slnnott
and C. N- McArthur, undisturbed.
It is pointed, out that the first district
has a large over-plus of population and
that a new district could be created
from the counties lying "south t n
southern line of Marlon, Polk and Tilla
mook counties. Thb new district would
then 'include the counties : of Benton,
Coos, Curry, Pouglas, Jackson, Jos
ephine, Lane, Lincoln and Linn, with
an aggregate population of 155,218.
This would leave to Congressman
Hawley the counties of Clackamas, Clat
sop, Columbia, Marlon, Polk, Tillamook,
Washington and Yamhill, with a total
population of 191,667, Multnomah would
remain as a separate district by Itself,
with a population of 275,898; and Eastern
. Oregon, which comprises a compact geo
graphical unit, would also remain as it
Is. with a population of 160,502.
Hawley has the "fattest'" district and
Sinnott the "lean' one, Slnnott's dis
trict is well below the apportionment
quota, present or prospective, ' but it
comprises such a natural geographical
division, taking In all the counties east
' of the Cascades and no, others, that the
idea of changing it, which originated
-with certain ambitious Eastern Oregon
politicians, Is said to have made little
headway. i
As Multnomah county possesses more
than the required population- by 55,000
or more, the splitting of that and com
bination with some of the surplus from
Hawley's district has met with favor
In some quarters. This plan Is reported
now to' be receding lir" favor of the more
simple method of cutting Hawley's dis
trict in two, since this would cause less
disturbance politically, would presum
ably leave each of the present congress
men satisfied, and would give a new
member to a compact district In South
ern Oregon, where several congressional
ajnbltions are said to be ripening.
All of this, of course,,' depends on
whether congress fixes a basis of repre
sentation that will give Oregon a new
member. Congressman McArthur, who
is opposed to any increase in present
membership, says he finds such strong
support for this principle that he does
not believe the membership will be made
large .enough to .allow a new .member
for his state.
Congress would have" to be enlarged
to 470 members to grant Oregon a fourth
member, and the ratio would then be
223,689. Representative Siegel, chairman
of the census committee, proposes a
ratio of 218,979, which would give 483
members and prevent - any state from
losing a member. There is still consid
erable uncertainty as to whether the
present congress will act; on , a reap
portionment bill, and If It I does not the
question will go over to the extra ses
sion. next summer. ;
The Newberry Affair
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NAL) "That Newberry thing" is again
causing worry among Republican mem
bers of the senate. The' "thing" referred
to is the contest for the seat of Senator
Truman H. Newberry of Michigan
brought by Henry Ford, which has been
kicking around ' for two years and is
etlil unsettled. i
Early this year the senate ordered the
ballots In the Michigan election of 1918
Impounded, and they now consume a
large amount of space in a room at the
capItol, awaiting the promised recount.
Ford alleged, among, other things, that
a true count would show he was elected.
Instead of Newberry. This Is Independ
ent of the charge that Newberry con
eplred to spend unlawful sums of money
to secure his nomination and election,
on which charge he has been convicted
and sentenced.
The argument on appeal from his con
viction is eej before the supreme court
for the first week in January, and on
the day following the, recount of ballots
Is scheduled to begin. Thus Newberry
has to win two ways to keep his seat
He must win in the supreme court and
his election must be affirmed by the re
count. His friends, and It may be added
his colleagues generally, do not believe
that his lead over Ford will be over
come, go that Ford can establish title
to the Beat. But they are - anxious to
dispose of the matter during the present
session of congress, being now assured
that however it endis Republican control
in the nxt eenate will not be endan
gered. - '
If Newberry's conviction Is affirmed.
. it is expected that Newberry will resign
and a new senator will be appointed by
the governor of Michigan to serve until
after the next election. But if the su
preme court holds in hie favor, the sen

The Newberry attorneys evidently rely
principally upon their ability to convince
the supreme court that the federal law
controlling election expenses does not
extend to primary elections. The Jury
has already passed on the facts as to
whether he conspired to spend and did
spend the amounts charged, far beyond
what the law, permitted. ,The question
ror the court Is whether the law itself
should be sustained.
Shipping Board Situation
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OE THE JOUR
NAL! The "mess" In snipping board
affairs, which came during the war and
was not much relieved for some time
thereafter, has been receiving unusual
publicity through) the Walsh investigat
ing committee. There is reason to be
lieve, that the public does not appreciate
how much has been done toward clear
ing up these conditions, and to what
large extent the Walsh committee is
dealing with things long known in the
shipping board.
This point was made the other day
by Chairman Benson, who in the course
of a talk remarked that the Walsh com
mittee "revelations" were things prac
tically all known to him long ago and
now In large part corrected, or with
machinery constituted and working for
their correction. Commissioner Chester
H. Rowell emphasized the same point
a' few days ago when in conversation
with the writer, he said:
"I wonder If , the public yet appre
ciates, or will appreciate, the force of
Admiral Benson's statement? It Is en
tirely true. I believe the public has the
Impression that the new board comes
in with a large job of cleaning up, that
Is, to correct the matters exposed to view
In the Walsh report- There are some
things yet to be done in that direction,
but Admiral Benson has had the knowl
edge of these matters and has had the
machinery, largely built from new ma
terial, put to work upon them, before the
new board came. So we are in fact In
position to go ahead with policies and
real constructive work." ,
Commissioner Rowell made It plain
that he. approved the publicity of the
Walsh report. The public Is entitled to
know, he holds, but it should learn that
these are not bolts .out of the sky for
the shipping board, nor the revelation
of a condition that presently exists.
Since last summer Admiral Benson has
virtually been the entire shipping board.
Commissioner Donald, the only other
member, being ill for a- large part of
the time, and the housecleanlng and re
furnishing, job was rather too much to
be completely done by one man, but it
seems to be agreed that he. had the job
well under way.
That the work will be thorough within
the shipping board In clearing the ac
counting tangles, with which much of
the testimony before the Walsh commit
tee has dealt, Is indicated by the com
mittee which will supervise the reor
ganlzatton. Commissioner Teal is chair
man, and with him 'are associated Com
missioners Rowell, Thompson and Goff.
Teal in his practice as an attorney has
naa much to do with analysing financial
statements and accounting systems of
rai.roaas. Koweil and Thompson have
each had large business properties, and
Goff la a lawyer of distinction. In charge
of the board's law division.
The new board, of course, labors under '
me handicap of having Its term of use
fulness limited to three months, If the
politicians on Capitol hill carry out their
announced purpose to refuse confirma
tion of the appointments. If the pres
ent board Is only a stop-gap to a new
board to be named by President Hard
ing, which will have to learn the business
over again. It may hesitate to launch
out with policies which might soon be
reversed or changed by its successor.
TV7ASHINGTON.. Dec 25. (WASTT.
VV INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NAL) John M. Jones probably will be
confirmed as postmaster at Portland at
the present session of congress. He will
owe this good luck to being a Republican
In politics, as Democratic postmasters,
although appointed under the merit sys
tem as Jones was, are not on the pro
gram for confirmation.
There are rumblings of other can
didates for the PorUand postoffice, good
Republicans all, and disciples of the
doctrine that an active Republican should
by all means be hitched up to a $6000
job. Evidently they have hopes that
Jones will not be confirmed before
March 4 and that there will be a free
for all after that.
It can be stated that the plans of the
Republican leaders concerning postmas
ters are about as follows:, -
Nominations of Democrats will not be
confirmed, whether reappointed or named
after civil service examination. Repub
licans who are fairly well "settled down"
in their Offices and seem to be satis
factory. In the communities they eerve,
will be confirmed, provided they do not
meet with objection by a Republican
senator from their state. .
By this procedure the Republicans will
answer the demand that Democrats be
ousted in favor of the faithful, but will
avoid the charge that they have alto
gether disregarded the merit plan when
the meritorious man Is found to be a

BERKELEY POLICE
L
FOR EFFICIENCY
Specialists Highly Trained in
Various Phases of Work Crime
Is Given Careful Analysis. '
Berkeley, Dec. 25. (I. N, S.)
Policing a city as a science, where
every policeman is more or less a
specialist In some line, where the
prevention of Crime is made a study,
where every effort is made to use
the latest and most modern methods
In preventing, caring for 'and. com
batting crime, where as complete
records as possible are made of all
police work, and where there is an
unusually friendly, relation between
the general public and the police de
partment, are some of the distin
guishing features of the police de
partment of Berkeley.
In carrying out the work of this part
of the city government every commer
cial, city, charitable, medical and reli
gious Institution cooperates with the
police , and no politician is' allowed to
interfere with the department
TAKE PBIDK IK WOBK
Pride in the work of its police de
partment is the. boast of every citizen
of Berkeley. "In forwarding the effi
ciency of the department , every police
man is provided with an automobile
that is a combination of police machine,
ambulance ,and fire department, Bach
patrolman is qualified as a first aid
man. .
Through the use of signal lights and
police horns, this department of 32
men, handling a population of 60,000
persons covering an area of nine square
miles, patrols every street and section
of the city, day and night. No man
patrolling a' beat is at tany time more
than a minute away from communica
tion with the station, and the entire
force could be concentrated in the ex
treme limits of the city within five
minutes.
In . personnel, organization and meth
ods the Berkeley police department has
many things that are distinctive. Only
those morally, mentally and physically
equipped can become members of the
force. The department is to a great
degree made up of specialists, many of
whom are college graduates, scientists
and' business men.
CRIMES ABE STUDIED
The identification system of the de
partment is declared to be one of the
best in the United States. Crime is
studied by maps and graphs as well
as other means. A school is maintained
for the making of better policemen.
Everything that requires police action
Is made of record and conveniently
indexed. In the serious offenses and
even In minor crimes complete records
are made of physical, mental and nerv
ous conditions, with determinations as
to inferiority and abnormal symptoms,
as well as a family history and history
of the crime.
Through the methods applied by the
police department and the ordinances
passed by the city, beggars have been
barred from the municipality, soliciting
of alms by the fake cripple and the
fake sick man has been practically
eradicated, private patrols are not al
lowed to operate in the city, a blind pig
Is a rarity, stringent conditions under
which soliciting is allowed by means of
a permit from the police department
have eliminated the "gaycat, locator or
pathfinder, who precedes the yeggman
in planning a "job." Gambling has
been reduced to the minimum.
By means of cooperation with the va
rious city departments a large amount
of work that is duplicated in other cities
is done away with. The close relation
ship of all city institutions has brought
about a great degree of efficiency.
PUBLIC GETS FACTS
Unlike any other police department In
the world, there is no secrecy about the
affairs of the police in Berkeley. The
bulletins from which the officers get
their crime -reports each day are as
accessible to the newspaperman as to
the officer. Every detail is given as
minutely as the department has it, and
Chief of Police August Vollmer, , under
whose direction the institution has been
built up in bis II years of administra
tion, Is a stronger believer in the co
operation of the police and the public.
It has been the endeavor of Chief
Vollmer to bring-together all the best
means of treating crime, which has to
a great degree made his department one
of specialists. Among the 82 members
of the department are two having the
college degree of Ph. D.. one with C K.,
two with Ph. C and three with A. B.
For appointment to the department all
applicants must show at least a high
school training and go through an the
tests required by the regular array. Be
sides that, each man must show an
absolutely clean record.

How France Views American Tariff TalkWhat England
Thinks of GermanyFrance Urged to Go in
for Submarines.
Consolidated Pron AatoeUtion
France Afraid of Our Tariff
fTlARlFF reform in the United States.
JL- says Antolne de Tarle in 1'Opinlone,
will not be effected without certain de
mands from France which has suffered
from our ad valorem duties. French
silks, among other things, were dis
criminated against in favor of those im
ported into America from Italy and
Switzerland. -
"All this shows that we have a great
deal to ask of the United States for
the improvement of these conditions,'
says the writer. "How will these demands
be- accepted? It will be remembered
that Wilson demanded in the third of
his 14 articles, the suppression 'as far as
possible' of all economic barriers, and
the establishment of conditions common
and equal tor all nations desiring and
maintaining peace. He was at once at
tacked by the Republican party and was
obliged to protest against an interpre
tation which seemed as if he wished to
establish universal free trade. He ex
plained then that ha had - no Intention
of suggesting th duty that each nation
had to determine for herself, but only
that : Whatever was the tariff of a
country, whether high or low, It ought
to be applied equally to all foreign coon
tries and not favor some to the detri
ment of others.
"Such, indeed,, is the actual tendency
of America concerning the customs pol
icy. The report, presented to the tariff
commission by its president, Professor
F. W. Taussig, one of the American del
egation at the peace conference, was very
plain. The United States takes no notice
of the origin of an article ; it undertakes
to treat equally the importation from
all countries, without individual favors.
In exchange It demands to be treated in
the same way, failing which, it will exact
penalties from those foreign - countries
which did not do so. In principle the
Americans give no privileges, and ask
none.
"The Americans have naturally strong
arguments to defend their thesis. They
atflrm lhat the consequences of this
war have created all over the world a
revival of the protectionist spirit. Cer
tain European nations ; approve theo
retically of free trade, just as. they
approve of peace m theory, but
that does not prevent them from
defending their interests by means of
protective duties, by differential duties,
by prohibiting the Import of certain
goods, in the same way as they con
tinue to spend billions to keep up their
navies and their airplanes. It is im
possible for them to establish free trade
because their existence depends on cus
tom duties and commercial agreements
which permit them to give work to their
people, to fix salaries, to protect their
"home markets, to procure first class
goods at cheap prices and to export
their surplus products.
"They do not hesitate to use their
commercial system to the detriment of
the United States. It is quite natural,
and there is nothing unfriendly in this
attitude, but it would be folly on the
part of the United States not to act in
the same way.-
"All this is very easily said and we
know what to expect.
"But since 1914 the situation has
greatly changed. The American indus
tries are no longer incapable of sus
taining the home markets and exporting
to Europe only first class goods.
"Favored by the war, their industrial
productions have devloped prodigiously
and they now export to all European
markets. To keep access to them they
will be obliged to make concessions and
to march towards economic liberty. Their
customs legislation, which so far has
only aimed at the protection of national
Industries, will now have to take Into
consideration the interests of foreign
commerce. On the -other hand, the debt
owed to America by the allies amounts
to some $10,000,000,000. They cannot pay

No "Naval Holiday" in France
TV7TTH forces in the United States and
W Great Britain working toward a
"naval holiday," news comes from
France that naval experts there are urg
ing a powerful submarine fleet. ,
France, which set out some 20 years
ago to build a navy, had to abandon
the struggle when . It became apparent
that the German fleet could not be over
taken without gigantic expense. : The
conclusion of an entente cordiale with
Great Britain, also seemed to make the
maintenance of a big French navy un
necessary. ,
Now, however, the question has come
op again, and the French military ex
perts have determined on a sea force
composed largely of submarines, believ
ing that German experience during the
war demonstrated the utility of this type
of vessel, even against a power having
overwhelming surface strength.
A. Delpierre, a naval expert writing
in the Paris Matin, says:
"The naval problem, I grant. Is com
plex and cannot be stated In three words.
And yet essentially It is this: Shall
preference be given to capital ships or
to flotillas?
"England reserves her answer : she has
not yet spoken one wy or the other ;
she Is not constructing. The United
States and Japan have chosen without
hesitation in favor of battleships: they
have laid down superdreadnoughts and
gigantic battle cruisers of 40,000 tons
and more. As to the French navy. It
has Just taken a decision to build 100
submarines.

gram. '
"I think this decision is praiseworthy.
The French taxpayer with his heavy bur
dens cannot complain. A zo.ooq ton bat
tleship cost 100,000,000 francs before the
war. - Now that the tonnage must be
doubled and the prices have been multi
plied by five, we should have! to have
line ships costing a billion francs apiece !
"That would be fojly; the I more so
since if anything was proved by the
war, it was the vulnerability of the
battleship. Speaking of the French
fleet alone, it may be said that from
1916 on any battleship that ventured out
to sea had one chance In two I of being
sunk. The names are In everyone
memory : Gaulois. Suffren, Dapton, eW
"For this sort of sacrificed we still
have plenty of battleships; It IS needless
to build more, which would (represent
billions gambled away.
"On the other hand, for eight or 10
million francs and what Is eight or 10
million francs nowadays I you jean have
an excellent submarine. Some wlll deny
the efficacy of this arm; Indeed, there
are men -who claim they never were

"This, point, no doubt, ought to be
elaborated; but I have thoughtj it worth
while at least to state it. Having fol
lowed the events hour by hour and at
their very source during those! grievous
days, I can assert definitely thai' those
Who do not believe in submarines are
making a mistake. j
"And that Is also the opinion of the
French navy, since its great chiefs In
council and in agreement with the min
ister and the reporter of the budget have
Just decided on the construction before
anything else, of 100 submarines.
"And .when we have them, France will
