"We could put V a little jazz music in the place of hymn. '" V SEATTLE BOOSTER TALKS , El F. Blaine, vice president of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,,, who ;--poke for Seattle, declared the board hould assign ships to porta where com- - ntltion now exists and match foreign rats. He suggested five ships were eded at Seattle to match the Cana- In liners and five more to match the anese, Pwhose ships he termed super Ito the others. He read statistics to . y what he termed was a large vol . of commerce at Puget Sound com- with that of the Columbia river. Uking of the advantages of Seattle 'Portland, Blaine told the board ,-eattle has mora people, more lum . tter wharves and -harbor and bet- iage facilities, Puget Sound ports. V have a diversified commerce and ion they -are connected with the four important transcontinental - ' Jlnes. , kAMINES BLAIITE '.;' '.Taioner Teal asked Blaine nu i.:' 1stions to develop the trend of SynU leading to an admission " ' ' y.hat assignment of shipping i Is to the larger ports with 1 f advantages which would accrue would b "injurious" ; to efforts to build-up other ports.. .: j - ; . j . . ,,; - The San Francisco representative. James A. Kmery. asked for a large pro gram and for the assignment of shipping board tonnage exclusively to the Pacific Mall Steamship company. R. B. Armstrong,, appearing for Los Angeles, asked that allocation be -made to all Pacific ports so far as available. The hearing was concluded this after noon. , -BLAINE DEMANDS BOOZE During his testimony Blaine said It was impossible for American ships to compete with foreign vessels unless booze is permitted to be sold on American ships. "Passengers will not travel on ' ships which have only soft drinks." prayer books and hymnals in the saloons," said Blaine. "I am not a drinking man, but I would not undertake a long voyage on the high seas on a dry ship,": Blaine shuddered. Blaine said 90 per cent of the passen ger travel on ' Japanese and Canadian lines originates in the United States and "by rights should go through" Seattle on American ships." . . ; WAISTS MORE SHIPS He added that both Jspanese and Ca nadian lines are preparing to put new ships in the Pacific service which will be faster and finer than any American ships. He described : the much keener competition to American freight and pas senger vessels in the Pacific which this new service will gtv.i Representatives- of all the Pacific ports appeared before the shipping board at today's hearing, each port urging its claims for increased ship allocations and trade routes under revisions of the Pa cific service contemplated by the board. Blaine described the Pacific Shipping situation in term's of a big poker game in which he said the United States can not "get anywhere" by merely "calling" Japan and Canada. "We must raise them," Blaine insisted. "We must have more ships at Seattle to match the Japanese and Canadian serv ice from the Northwest. If wo win in the fight for Pacific commerce, we must meet the foreign competition . at our port." -, Blaine presented, arguments as to Se attle's 'commercial and port importance, claiming it is the "most important port of the Northwest." - R. B. Armstrong and L. W. Luellen, representing the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, appealed for more ships for that port as "the largest city on the Paicfic coast." : Luellen said Los Angeles Interests are prepared to buy five shipping board vessels and estab lish a new passenger and freight line. James A. Emery, San Francisco cham ber of commerce, said San Francisco is recognized as "the primary gateway of the Pacific," and should have more Bhip allocations to develop its business. TS H. M.1 DOUGHERTY (Continued From PM One) that enjoyed by many of his predeces sors. Dr. C. R-Sawyer. the Harding family physician, who has been almost in con stant attendance on Mr. Harding since th nomination at Chicago, said today he had just completed a thorough exami nation of the president-elect and found him to be in the best all-around physi cal condition of his career. TIBED FEELING COXE The strain of the long campaign and the period of wearying conferences at Marion sent the presMent-elect on his vacation a very tired man. On the ad vice of friends and his physician, the pres!dent-elect deliberately started out to condition himself for the labors ahead. Despite the masses of corre spondence and the worries Of adjusting his cabinet, he has managed to spend every afternoon on the golf links or in some other way. The result of this month's exercise is plainly seen. He is deeply tanned by the sun. His step is more springy and he appears more phyiscally fit to un dertake any strenuous task. Little, if any, progress was made by Mr. Harding over the weekend In filling the three places in his cabinet that admittedly are still vacant. The president-elect is "frankly In a quandary over the naval portfolio" In particular. He has counted so strongly on ' this berth being filled by former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois that Low den's refusal to be considered for any office has left the whole- situation .up in the air. TfAMES MENTIONED A number of names are under consid eration John Hays Hammond probably being foremost but nothing approach ing a decision yet has been reached. The same is true, -in somewhat less degree. In the labor and commerce positions. Herbert Hoover's status has not been determined definitely," though it is con sidered not unlikely that he will enter the cabinet through the Commerce de partment. A close political adviser of the president-elect said today he con sidered Hoover's , cabinet chances are rirty-rifty." The award of the labor portfolio has developed Into a predicament of no small dimensions. A number 'Of trades union organizations are warring bitterly for the place and are putting forth In sistent claims that this man or that be chosen. Considerable opposition has grown up to the candidacy of James J. Davis, a -former labor leader and now head of the order of the Moose, who bag been considered a strong contender. CLAIMS PRESENTED The claim has been put forward by some labor leaders that Dayls' appoint ment could not be considered a "labor appointment" because Davis is no longer active in the ranks. . T. V. O'Connor, head of the longshore men's union, and James Duncan, head of the granite cutters, are two strong con tenders for the j appointment against whom there are no similar objections. O'Connor returned to St. Augustine to day for another conference with Mr. Harding. j The opinion was expressed today that President-elect Harding might solve the labor controversy by going outside the trades unions ranks altogether to pick his labor minister.

Rowlands United Vtr-m 8Uf f Cormpondent - Boston. Mass.. Feb. 21. U. PJ Work Is the one biff thing needed to restore prosperity. Vice President elect Coolidge declared in an exclu sive interview given the United Tress today. "We must work and smile," he said. "The bottom of the depression has been reached and we are on the road to prog ress. No nation occupies such a favor able position as the United States. We must work, and take advantage of our opportunities. "We must learn to understand that we cannot get wages we do not earn. We must produce and our prosperity will be In proportion to our earnestness In producing. We can no longer live on the artificial prosperity of the war. "We speak of an era of prosperity, but that prosperity cannot be brought about by a mere change of administra tion alone, but only with the help of the people." Coolidge is going to Washington strong in the belief that the duty of the vice president goes beyond the formal, fig urehead limitations of his office. He hopes that he can become an active and vital force. r , ' "It is not for me to say what I shall do," he remarked. "Presldent-etect Harding has signified his intention of Inviting me into his cabinet meetings. 1 am at his service and I shall strive, with the good of the nation at heart, to help him all I can." N.Y. T 1 OF SNOW; TEN DIE (Con tinned From Pace One) today, said K. L. Wells, weather man, this morning, who suggested that by Wednesday the old standby of rain would again be handed out. Low pressure which caused the stormy conditions over the state Saturday and Sunday, has moved rapidly inland, and the high pressure, which closely followed, is moving just as rapidly, so that the fair weather will be of short duration. While Portland was enjoying a taste of spring weather, most all of Eastern Oregon was digging itself out of the heaviest snowfall of the season, and the lower Willamette valley points were re pairing flood damage from excessive rains. Portland had 1.8 inches of rain during the 24 hour period endfng at S o'clock this morning, the precipitation in creasing to 3 inches at Eureka. Cal. HEAVY BLANKET OP SNOW AT HOOD RIVER MELTING Hood River, Or., Feb. 21. The whole of this section is this morning undera 10 inch blanket of snow. Snow fell throughout Sunday, and this morning all communication, except by sled, is cut off between the city and valley. Power and telephone lines are also out of com mission. Curiously enough, the only communication with Portland this morn ing was established by1 two Portland bread, wagons, which arrived on their daily trip but a few minutes behind time. A sharp thaw has set In, and it is expected that the roads will be open before night. THE DALLES HAS NEARLY FOOT OP SNOW ON SUNDAY The Dalles, Feb. 21. Nearly a foot of snow had fallen here Sunday as a result of the storm beginning here Sunday morn ing and continuing throughout the day. The fall has been very heavy in the southern part of the county and west ward towards the mountains. Bottle Explodes on Man's Hip; Toter Is Given Real Thriller Startled by a pistol-like explosion and the sound of tinkling glass the tide of theatre goers surging from one of the Broadway theatres about H o'clock Sun day night was halted. From the center of the crowd scurried two men. From a "dog trot" they broke into full run. The leading one of the pair was leaving a trail of wet splotches on the pavement as he ran. Then from the center of the crowd came a laugh. The tension was re lieved and upon the man who laughed was focused the gaze of several score of wide-eyed people. A gale of laughter followed. The cork and neck of a broken bottle were being held up as an exhibit. Merely another home brew disaster. Investigation disclosed that a bottle containing "kick" had been "on the hip" of the first man ; that constant- giggling caused the explosion, which scared the bottle toter. Hiker Would Test Oregon-Made Shoes "I can walk from Portland to Bos ton, Mass., and wear out only one pair of Oregon-made shoes." declared F. E. Weddle, who Is contemplating a foot tour of the country in the Interest of Oregon products and the 1925 exposition. "It took a Boston man seven months and 11 pairs of eastern-made -shoes to walk from Portland. Maine, to Portland Or, and I can beat that." Weddle plans to leave Portland May 1 rver the Lincoln highway. A. W. Joice, also of Portland, will accompany Weddle, . , . Marshf ield Giocer Falls Dead in Street Marshf ield. Or. . Feb. 21.

Several factories were completely de stroyed. BRIBERY AIM IN EM E (Continued From Pur Otm pending in court, this illegal trust, made Judge Land is their chief arbitrator. "Judge Landis has a right to yield to the fleshpots of illegal combination, but he should not bring all of our judiciary into ill repute.- Where will we stop and when will we call a halt on our judi ciary? "If the country approves the dual role of Judge Landis, then the house will be called upon to prescribe a near standard for our Judiciary because there are others who would be pleased to employ some judge. Tor Jie is worth any price he might wish to ask. PCMSHMENT ASKED "But I do not . believe the soul of America is so dead as to permit any of us to escape our duties In this matter. "These - judges are appointed during good behavior. Who shall say when the behavior is not good? The people can not remove them. The people's only hope is the house of representatives, who, under the government, can prefer a charge." ... Welty then went into detail ;ane, quoted several other impeachment eases to back .up his assertion that a judge can be removed even if he has not vio lated a -taw. directly. Attorney General Palmer in a recent opinion to Welty said Landis has violated no law. Representative Card. Ohio, .indicated that the only basis for Impeachment would be whether Landis had neglected his official duties for baseball. LETTEB JS BEAD Welty read a letter from an attorney named Adler at Chicago, who claimed that lawyers , haye come into Judge Landis' court to try cases, only to find that "the judge is in New York attend ing a baseball meeting." Representative Boies ssked Welty is he knew anything about Landis tem porarily freeing an Ottawa, III., bank clerk because he was underpaid. "I think that is a more serious of fen Be than these charges." said Boles. The present system of having a base ball organization' with Landis at Its head Is based on the League of Na tions, said Welty. "The organization is composed of all the baseball clubs." said Welty. "The big clubs met and formed the new league and then invited all the little fellows just like the League of Na tions was formed. Representative Igoe. Missouri, sug gested that Landis service was. only that of counsel. WHY BIO SALARY I "Why did baseball pick 'out a federal judge, for this job?" asked Representa tive Yates, Illinois. "And why did they pay him such a big salary?" asked. Representative Goodykoontz. V- "If all federal judges entered Into this kind Of business, where would our judi ciary be?" asked Representative Husted. "The federal judges cannot handle all their work now, and baseball is one of the biggest businesses in the country." "That's the point." said Welty. "Don't you think public opinion will force Judge Landis to give up one of the positions V asked Boies. "But the house should do its duty and stop the act of Landis," said Welty. "If Judge Landis is allowed to hold the two offices, why can't all the justices of the supreme court be employed by the packers T , Motorists Have No Difficulty in Touring Here From Seattle In spite of a steady downpour of rain and snow no chains were needed to travel by motor from Seattle to Port land, according to a number of Port land tourists who completed an all-day run from the Sound to Portland Sunday. From Tacoma to Portland the trip, took about 10 hours. No detours were made'. the Pacific highway from Kalartia to Vancouver being followed. At Pioneer the party kept on the new highway, get ting the benefit of considerable new hard surface, paving that is being laid from the Vancouver end of the highway.

Los Angeles and San Francisco are fighting each other for business, accord ing to Crawford, who said that the ac tivities around the Bay City are more of an artificial nature. Advertising which the Montgomery Ward plant of this city has been run ning in California newspapers has drawn much favorable atention to. Portland, says Crawford, who. was busy with a number of industrial prospects during his visit in the south. Los Angeles 'has suffered from the publicity given the earthquakes which occurred in that city recently and as a result makes an effort to dlscredij the climate of every other city on the. coast at every, opportunity. The storm which visited the Washington coast more than three weeks ago was played up in the Los Angeles newspapers as a hurricane which devastated most of the region adjacent to Portland and played havoc with the city itself, said Crawford.
