ROWELL TO RETIRE
AS SHIPPING BOARD
MEM
BER ON FEB. 1
Washington, Jan. 19. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NAL.) Commissioner Chester H.
Rowell of California will, submit his
resignation as a member of the ship
ping board within a day or two, to
take effect on February 1. He will
take bis place by appointment of
Governor Stephens a's a member of
the California public service com
mission soon thereafter.
Itbwell is one of the three
members of the new shipping board
named In November by President Wil-
rion. He never felt that ho had any
chance for confirmation, but
to "fHl 'In the time," having j
Republican
kvas willing
list sold his
newspaper property at Fresno, Cal. He
had planned an extended trijp to China
and 3apan, but postponed it to serve the
short term on the shipping board, and
has postponed it again to serve on the
California commission.
VACANCY OPK5S
This resignation opens at once a va
cancy in one of the two shipping board
commi8sionershtps required under the
Jones act to be appointed frdm the ,Pa
cific coast states. The vacancy doubt
less will remain through th4 month of
the Wilson administration that is left
after the resignation takes effect, when,
from all indications, there 'fill be six
other vacancies because of the failure of
the senate to confirm the Wilson ap
pointees. California will, seek to secure one of
the Pacific coast places under Harding.
Oregon now has a commissioner in the
person of Joseph N. Teal, nd Oregon
people are interested in seeing the state
bold a .place under the tifvr regime.
Washington promises to present her
claims anew, at the expense either of
California or Oregon, and has a strong
position because one of her senators,
Wesley Ij. Jones, is chairman of the com
mittee of the senate.
POWELL GOING TO ORIENT
The natural division of ne two Pa
cific coast places is the onje made by
President Wilson, one appointment going
to a Republican, one to a Democrat;
also, one to California and one to the
Pacific Northwest. There is nothing in
the law, however, to prevent both Pa
cific coast members being of the same
party, or even from the samti state. Mr.
Harding is expected to 'appoint, the" new
board very soon after he assumes of
fice, as the shipping board w: 11 be mem
berlees and unable to funotion after
March 4 until new appointments are
made.
Rowell plans on his trip to the Orient,
which he says is merely postponed.- to
make an intimate study of the Japanese
question at first hand. He already en-
Joys a i large ', acquaintanceship ,mons
the prominent men of Nippon. He plana
a leisurely trip which will cover China
and Korea as well as the island empire,
gathering information which he expect
to be of use In the relations of Japan
with. the United States. .

Charge of Unfair
Freight Rates in
, Oregon Taken Up
Salem, Or., Jan. 19. Acting upon com
plaint from shippers of Central Oregon,
H. P. Corey,, public service commis
sioner, today instituted an informal in
vestigation into alleged discriminations
in freight rates against the Centrat Ore
gon territory and in favor of out-state
points, i
With a surplus of thousands of tons of
alfalfa hay in Central Oregon it is al
leged shippers are unable to compete
with shippers of the Yakima country In
selling to Willamette valley and coast
points because of discriminatory freight
rates. The rate from Bend to Portland,
a distance of 251.6 miles, it is pointed
out, is 34.5 cents per hundred, whereas
the. rate from Yakima to Portland, 313
miles, is but 27 cents. The same situa
tion, it is said, exists wjth reference to
potatoes. .
Commissioner Corey declares that no
difficulty should be experienced in cor
recting any discriminations which are
found to exist in these rates.
COOPERATION URGED
ON WOOL GROWERS
Salt Lake, Jan. 19. kAt the second
day's session of the National Wool
growers association in this city, co
operative marketing of livestock to
eliminate unnecessary "middlemen"
and excessive commission charges
was urged upon delegates.
C H. Witney, manager of the Farm
ers' Union Livestock Commission com
pany of Omaha, a producers' cooper
ative marketing bureau, discussed the
advantages gained by producers and
feeders through cooperative marketing.
Withey declared that producers who op
erate On "closed" livestock exchanges
are "caught coming and going" by com
mission men.
Withey told of the organization of
the Farmers' Union Livestock Commis
sion company of Omaha in 1917. He
said a group of stock growers got to
gether and formed a plan for coopera
tive marketing of their products.
Within the year the business grew so
rapidly, he declared, that another agency
wCs opened at South St. Joseph. Mo.
"Organization and cooperation honestly
and fairly applied will surely bring the
results," declared Withey.
Frank Hagenbarth, president of the
association, sounded, the sentiment of
the convention when he declared that
the government and congress must
awaken to the fact that a proper agri
cultural policy for (developing the in
terests of the industry should be adopt
ed, and Dr. S. W. McClure in his advice
to the sheep men urged them to continue
the fight for governmental aid even
after the adoption j of an emergency
tariff or other measures aiming at tem
porary relief.
Dr. McClure then made an appeal for
the members of the association to rally
to the financial support of the organiza
tion, that its activities might be continued.

Striking" Coins
THE light! from the furnace fire
flickers bn the intent faces of
the slaves. It catches the gleam of the
soldier's spear as he paces to and fro.
Creak-k! Creakk! Says the clumsy
old wooden machine as the silver
comes forth in a shining strand.
Snip-p! Snipp ! Go the shears as the
slave cuts the metal into shorter
lengths and tosses them into the fire.
Then! he takes a piece of silver from
the furnace with a long pair of
pincers and lays it upon the nearby
anvil. This anvil contains the die
making the obverse of the coin.
-With never failing skill, a small
hammer containing the reverse'of
the coin is applied and the whole

sledge. The coin is "struck!"
Thus slowly and laboriously was
money coined in the time of the
great Persian king, Darius.
Today coins are minted in huge
electrically driven machines at the
rate of several thousand an hour -under
pressure of 175 tons!

"I have no desire to stay in London.
In fact I shall not stay in London any
longer than a settlement of business
affairs requires my presence there. Never
in my life have I taken any interest in

vastly rich. I shall urge my sister to
continue the management of the cor

He is greatly interested in charitable

Fifteen attorneys appeared in the fed
eral court this morning to plead and
inter-plead In the 20 or more causes of
action involved in the suits filed against
the river eteamer As tor tan. It was
finallyj agreed to consolidate some
claims, dismiss others, settle others out
of court, and to argue but three or four
cases before Judge Bean.
When the trial opened Judge Bean
said he thought the case should be dis
posed of first by the special master, as
he did not have time to do the work of an
auditor. The chief contestant is the Ta
coma Savings Bank and Trust company,
which alleged it loaned about $20,000 to
Captain Wilson, chief owner of the As
torian,. for repairs. Another contestant
is William L. Davis & Son of Tacoma,
who have a bill of $417.20 for material
furnished.
Tt was aitrreed this morning to dis
miss the 200 personal injury suit
brought by1 Gladys Reynolds, and to

THE
FIRST NATIONAL"ANK
OF PORTLAND OREGON
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK WEST
OF THE ROCKY FOUNTAINS
were readv to proceed. The work of
selecting a jury was begun immediately.
It is expected this may take two days.
, Mrs. Peete, who appeared entirely
composed, wore a neat suit of dark ma
terial, a black sailor hat, gloves and
stout walking shoes which covered her
ankles.
"I am ready for my trial and anxious
to have it over with. I have not the
slightest feeling of fear. Nothing has
shaken my confidence that I will be
acquitted," were her words as she was
taken from the jail.
Mrs. Peete's husband. Richard C.
Peete of Denver, who has visited his
wife daily since she was placed in jail
October 27, was at her side today as
the proceedings started.
"I do not ask for sympathy ; I only
ask to be treated fairly," said Mrs.
Peete,
i She professed to have only one hope
in mind that to be set free soon to join
her husband and little girl Betty, aged 4.
BODY !? CRYPT
In a firm, clear voice she said :
' "With the start of the ordeal I ask
that the public withhold judgment until
all of the evidence has been heard and
to regard me as a woman whose whole
I thought is for the man who loves me,
' and for my child. 1 am a woman who
I is the unfortunate victim of circum
stances."
Following the discovery of Denton's
body in a secret crypt in his palatial
home September1 23 last. District Attor
ney Thomas Lee Wool wine and his dep
uties have devoted much painstaking ef
forts to the collection of evidence against
Mrs. Peete. Her past history has been
carefully examined and investigators
employed by the state have branded her
an adventuress with a long checkered
career.
HAS NEW EVIDENCE
-- The prosecution's theory is that Mrs.
Peete shot and killed Denton at his
home some time between June 1 and
June 3. either as the result of a quarrel,
or with robbery as her motive.
Public Defender William T. Aggeler is
defending Mrs. Peete since ehe has
claimed to be penniless. Aggler's theory
is that Denton was killed, by someone
other than Mrs. Pette and that she has
no knowledge of the crime.
The district attorney has declared that
surprise testimony, carefully guarded up
to the moment which is to be presented
to the Jury, will raise questions that the
defense will have great difficulty in an
swering. -Among his important wit
nesses will be Mrs. Ida L. Gregory of
Denver and her daughter, Maud, both
close friends of the defendant ; Frances
Denton, the young daughter of the" slain
man ; William F. Heintzeman. a gar
dener, who brought the dirt said to have
been used to bury Denton iri the crypt ; ,
James W. Crowhurst, a plumber who
was said to have been employed bjs Mrs.
Peete to nail up a back entrance Into
the' baaement ; Mrs. M. Tilton, who Bald
that she pawned a man's dramond ring
given her by Mrs. Pette and afterward
identified as Denton's ; Mrs. Ketta
Woods,, to whom Mrs. Peete is said
to have turned over Denton's auto
mobiles ; two sales girls who say they
sold Mrs. Peete $400 worth of gowns
which she charged to Mrs. J. C. Denton,
and H. A. Coombs, a groceryman, who
la expected to tell of the purchase from
him by Mrs. Peete of large quantities
soap and chloride of lime.
NEW LINERS TO CARE EOR
ORIENTAL PASSENGER TRADE
Tourist bookings for the Orient have
assumed such volume that five new
steamships are about to beplaeed in the
Japan and China trade, according to
George F. Harrison, general manager
of Thomas Cook & Son, who has just
returned to New York from a visit to
the Pacific coast.
While in Portland Harrison was en
tertained by Dorsey B. Smith of The
Journal Travel and Information bureau.
It was his first visit here in 20 years
and he was enthusiastic in praising the
progressive spirit of the city and state.
CommcSiting on the increasing popu
larity of the Oriental tour, Harrison
said :
"Xever before have so many tours to
Japan and China been planned and
carried out and the phips are crowded
right through the winter, spring and
early summer months. The five new,
luxurious, fast steamships placed in the
China and Japan trade from San Fran
cisco by the Pacific Mail company will
enable more Americans to visit the Far
East next spring, as the older boats
from that port already are booked up.
"The new liners were constructed- for
the United States shipping board and
handed over to the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company- for operation. They will
be equipped with latest improvements,
including apparatus to regulate the
temperature of the cabin, bedsteads in
stead of berths, and a bath and shower
between each two cabins except on the
upper promenade deck, where cabins
have private baths attached. The liners
also have glass-enclosed promenade
decks."

the ways and means committee contend
It to have been the understanding at
the 1919 session that all of the expenses
ot the university, including1 the medical
department, -were to be paid out of the
millage fund.
Something of the attitude of the re
bellious members, of the committee is
Indicated in the remark of one who says,
"They will have to show me that they
are not asking for something they prom
ised not to ask for before I will vote to
grant the additional appropriation re
quested." STATE DEPARTMENTS HIT.
The bloodthirsty tendencies of the
committee members are not directed to
ward the university and college alone,
however, but various of ttys state de
partments will have to come onto the
carpet and make a satisfactory explana
tion why their budget demands have in
creased, in some instances as high as
70 per cent over the appropriations given
two years ago.-
Conservative members of the commit
tees as well as of the general member
ship of senate and house, are arguing
that the suras voted two years ago were
estimated on the basis of war time prices
and general costs. They think they
see a return to normalcy, during the
