Washington, Apr! J 21. A note from Germany on the reparations question was understood to have been received, by the state depart ment today. Secretary of State Hugbca refused to discuss the ques tion. ' ', By Earle C. Reeves London. April 21. (L N. S.) JSTeither ' Belgium, Italy nor . the United States will be represented at the conference at Hythe Saturday, the Jtoreign office announced this afternoon. i , - The foreign office specifically denied . cabled reports from Washington that the United States .was to participate in the conference. Occasion was also taken to deny the; rumor that British troops are "involved in the plans for an advance ' into the Ruhr valley. COMES LIKE BOMB The announcement came as a bomb-Bhefll- to political and diplomatic circles, for it completely, overturns all previous plans. The Hythe conference is thus reduced to -C dialogue between Premiers Lloyd George and Briand, whereas the : announced program had called for a thorough discussion of all big questions by representatives of the four chief European allies France, Britain, Bel gium and Italy. Intense speculation followed the. for eign office's statement. It revolved chiefly around the question as to what eleventh hour development had upset the schedule and made the conference a two-nations affair. It was at Hythe Saturday that Premier Briand was to submit to the statesmen of England. BeIT glum and i Italy the complete plans France had t mapped out for coercing ' Germany . to meet the reparations de- Tftuidi on r immediately after May 1. TAIT HOLDS ALOOF . : It has been apparent for days that Italy viewed the prospect of fresh mili tary action against the Germans with misgivings; and that Lloyd George is . opposed to it for practical economic rea- sons. Belgium alone was understood to favor whole hearted . approval of, and cooperation with, the French plans. ; Today's official announcement gives ; the situation the aspect of a near crisis i and subsequent developments are watched for with considerable tension. FRANCE MIGHT RELAX IP OTHER TERMS ARE OFFERED By Hodson Hawley (TJnited News Stiff Cornepondrat) Paris, April 21. Although France Is looking forward to occupying the Ruhr district in the event that Germany fails to comply with the reparations de mands by May 1. France will not insist on this move proviided some other meth od . of enforcing ithe penalties equally suitable to France' can be agreed on'. This was the belief in semi-official circles here Wednesday, although there was no available! official information as to what course France will pursue in the conference ;Sunday. It- is believed, .however, rather than force the rest of the allies Into some thing to Which they cannot wholeheart edly consent, France may abandon the plan to occupy Ruhr and take some ether guarantee ' from Germany, pos sibly more effective control of the Ger- t Concluded on Page Two. Column Three) TARIFF DELAYS - ' i F By Clarence Da Bose Washington. April 21. (TJ. P.) Farmers are growing fretful, at emergency tariff bill delays, agricul tural representatives here declared today. i , Fear was expressed that delays have already undermined the good . the bill was expected to do them. Opponents of the measure were laugh ing In their sleeves at its slow sledding and saying that lithe exchange adjust ment and anti-dumping features which have tied it up were tacked on purposely as brakes to halt; the measure. Protests at the; slow action made , to Senator Penrose, chairman of the senate finance committee, caused him to declare today that the bill will be reported "Sat urday or Monday." He admitted, how ever, that there Js "so much uncertain ty" over the anti-dumping and American valuations that the senate will almost certainly amend these features.- Chief of Weather Bureau Renamed; Others Nominated Washington, April 21.

Browni an attorneyl The resolution as read by Frank Mc Crlllis of I the realty board calls for selling the. site to some concern for the erection of a modern office building that in taxes would Trlng the city ap proximately 1100,000 annually. He said nothing' was too good for the service man and that he did not think the erec tion of a monument on the site would be a benefit. Brown rose up in wrath and said the putting of the proposition on a merce nary basis was contrary to the ideals of good citizenship. No sooner had he finished than Judge Morrow took the floor and insisted that the monument located in the center of the city would be a detriment and not a fitting memorial. "Look at Lownsdale Square, across from the courthouse," he said. "With its fine monuments to the heroes of the Spanish war, what has it become? Merely a place for the daily convocation of the sons of rest, who toil not, but loaf about disclaiming Americanism and the very things these men fought for. "Do the ex-service men want that? I believe it would be more fitting and proper to J erect the monument at some other place where children can go and play. Where they may find inspiration from the deeds depicted in marble and not have to mingle with the riff-raff. I therefore r favor the selling of the old postoffice site for commercial purposes." ,, The resolution was adopted. EARTHQUAKE SHOCK HITS LOS ANGELES Lo3 Angeles, Cal., April 21.- (I. N. S.)

TEAL EXTOLS ORYS ACHIEVEMENTS HOT OF SHIP BOARD PALI Portland Business Men, Gathered to Welcome Fellow Citizen's Return From Washington, Are Told Scope of Merchant Marine "The United States shipping board is by far the greatest business agency of the government," said Joseph N. Teal, former commissioner of the board, at the dinner given in honor of his return to Portland at the Chamber of Commerce, Wed nesday evening. "But," said he in preceding comment, "there is much cloudy; thinking done and many unjustified statements are made about the shipping board and its activities." . It is cloudy thinking, he suggested, to place on the ships now the value of their war time cost when the value of a ship-was as measurable as to "attempt to value a grass of water to one dying of thirst or a loaf of bread to one starving." CREDIT FOB SHIP BOAED Rates would have soared to unbeliev able heights during 1920 had it not been for the vessels of the shipping board, he said, and for this as for other im portant reasons he pointed out the "im measurable but none the less certain credit to which the shipping board is entitled." Speaking further of the magnitude of shipping board operation he said : "Its expenditures until recently were greater than those of the entire gov ernment. But a few : years ; ago, on September 1, 1916, there was no ship ping board. To January 1, 1921, it had expended over four billidn dollars. On September .7, 1916, there were no board vessels. On January 1, 1921, the board owned and controlled, available for op eration. 1S84 vessels of a dead-weight tonnage of 10,840,707 tons, and had under construction 76 vessels of a dead-weight tonnage of 791,700 tons.

It used about 2,250,000 tons of coal, which cost $29. 700,000. The crews of its vessels, in cluding officers, numbered ' 61,150 men. The average number of vessels employed was 1223. with an average monthly dead-weight tonnage of 7,906,315 tons, and the fleet carried 21,675,900 long tons and earned approximately $415,000, 000.

Changes ound necessary in' those provisions of the Knox peace resolution in volving the property of American, and German nationals prevented the senate foreign relations committee from reporting the measure to the senate today, as had been planned by the Republican members. When the committee met there was no indication of any hitch in the adminis tration program, which contemplated an early report on the resolution and its adoption by the senate after a short de bate, probably next week. The prob able attitude of the Democrats, how ever, had not beeen made clear when the committee met. The resolution as it now stands re peals the. war declaration against Ger many of April 6, 1917, and the declara tion against Austria. It then provides for safeguarding American : rights by withholding a settlement with Germany of the alien property now held by this government until Germany has ratified a treaty of peace with the United States and has made arrangements for liqui dating all American claims against German nationals. This involves the settlement of all American claims for losses of ships through theU-boat war fare, loss of cargoes, loss of lives and every other loss sustained by Americans as Individuals, firms or corporations. The resolution also reserves to the United States . all the rights it would have had under the treaty of Versailles had the senate ratified it. Peggy Marsh's Boy Is Not Field's Son, Says Supreme Court Springfield, I1L. April 21. (L N. S.) The Illinois supreme court ruled today that , Henry - Anthony Marsh, so a of Peggy Marsh, London actress, is not the legitimate on of Henry Field.- and therefore is not entitled to a share in the Field millions.

By W. II. Atkins Washington, April 21. (I. N. S.) The 'drys' today swung into ac tion for a finish ,'fight to prevent beer and wine sales on doctors' 'pre scriptions. Congress is their objec tive. Their battle v plans are drawn and are to be pushed with all the legislative cunning for which past prohibition victories have been noted. Under the leadership of William Jen nings Bryan the "drys" were brought together in a concerted move to com pel an immediate reversal of a recent opinion of the department of justice, which threw into the discard some of the more stringent rules of the prohibi tion bureau. BRYAN IS BITTER The "drys" today charged that the ob jectionable opinion, drafted for the treasury by former - Attorney General Palmer, before he left office, is the "opening wedge of the wets" to restore the liquor traffic. Colonel Bryan was particularly bitter today in discussing what he termed the disastrous results which may follow the Palmer opinion, authorizing beer and win sales. In his opinion it will trans form drug stores into wide open saloons. With other prohibition leaders Mr. Bryan arranged to make a vigorous drive at once upon the administration to "kill" the Palmer edict and to balk the issu ance of beer and wine, regulations. AIELLOIT TO PROCEED From the treasury came word today that Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, with general supervision in prohibition enforcement affairs, will decline to have a review made of the opinion under at tack, but will proceed with baste to pro mulgate the . regulations, placing beer and wine on the market for sale to those legally . entitled to buy. Resourceful "drys" may take .. their fight to the president .and ask .him per sonally intervene, It developed today. They assert that under 'the procedure existing the president could instruct the attorney general "to reopen the whole subject. , . . j F Spokane, Wash., April 21. (I. N. S.) Attempts were made by the state today to impeach the testimony of Jay Hough, on trial here charged with first degree forgery in connec tion with the defrauding of James Callahan, Idaho mining man, of $400,000. Hough had testified in his own behalf, and the state, in an effort to show that Hough's reputation for truthfulness was bad, introduced 'John Cadigan and Edward O'Shea, officers of the New World Life Insurance company, who swore they would not believe ' Hough under oath. Superior Judge Hugo Oswald gave his instructions to the jury this morning and the prosecution opened its final state ment. Mrs. Ruth Milholland of Pittsburg, widow of John Milholland, former part ner of Hough, was introduced by the prosecution Wednesday as a surprise witness. -Milholland committed suicide January 10, after Hough had confessed to a series of forgeries. Mrs. Milholland refuted the testimony of important defense witnesses, defend ing her husband's name. Hough's de fense claims the forgeries were forced by Milholland. Dog Guards Body Of Master Until Caught by Lasso Eugene, Or., April 21. It has been said that there is no friendship to com pare with the friendship and love of a dog. The Scotch collie owned by Chris ten Wizenreid, 93-year-old resident of Lane county who dropped dead on a farm near Pleasant Hill, Tuesday, would seem to prove it. When neighbors came upon the dead body of the old man and tried to remove it they were stopped by the faithful animal. Not until the collie had been lasooed could the body be moved, and, even then he followed the hearse 17 miles into Eugene, and entered the un dertaking parlor, where It took consider able maneuvering to put h,im out. Wage Reductions in Coeur d'Alene Hit 1500 Mine Workers Spokane. Wash., Aprrt 2i. (I. N.

(U. P.) Roger Bacon, Franciscan monk, lived nearly 700 years ahead of his time, according to Philadelphia scientists today. They, were convinced that Professor William B. Newbold of the University of Pennsylvania was cor rect in crediting the monk with' scientific discoveries supposed to have been made in the last 100 years. Newbold submitted evidence to show that Bacon used a microscope, a tele scope and scientific drawing, instru ments. The authenticity of Bacon's manuscripts he has .translated were proved, Newbold said, by a signature deciphered on the last page. Bacon's manuscripts bury under six ciphers. Newbold said, a mass of dis coveries and theories which eventually will prove Bacon the father of all mod ern science. Bacon carefully concealed his work by the use . of ciphers, Newbold said, because as a monk he could not write without permission from his su periors in the church. Bacon was credited with discovering the primary germ of life at least three centuries before it was known to the world. He also ' credited Bacon with many astronomical discoveries coincid ing with those of later years when the telescope was developed. Only a few passages of the manuscripts have been deciphered thus far. PATROL PLANES TO CENTER IN EUGENE Eugene, April 21.

Bellinger, narcotic drug ped'dler, changed his plea of not guilty to guilty and was fined $1000 by Federal Judge R. S. Bean, in keeping with the recommendation of Assistant United States Attorney Austin Flegel.
