1.MPOBTASCK OV SERVICE
Mr. Teal spoke in no uncertain terms
of the future of the American merchant'
marine. 4 f '
"The teachings of history," he said.
thdvv that on more than one occasion
trie life of nations has been absolutely
controlled by the: sea power and this
sea power means- commercially, in time
rf' peace, what it, does in war from a
military standpoint. Surely this great
nation, now that it has put its hand to
the plow, will never turn back." The
Stars and Stripes are now 'in the front
rank of the merchant cargo fleets of the
world and there must stay. It must take
the same place in the passenger service.
In the Interest of all the people wc must
press on and on until the declared policy
of the law that the United States Khali
have a merchant marine ,o .the.: best
ouippeJ -und most suitable types of ve
ichrBUfflieient to carry-the greater por-;
t jon of its commerce "and . Birv bm ,2
naval or military; auxiliary n time" of
v$or national emergency -ultimately to
be ned and operated privately by
Citizens of the United States' is fulfilled.
In .this- great wrk the people of the
Northwest must be in the forefront."
CHAMUi:nAI?r' IS EE1E1
' "The country ip to be congratulated,"
said Mr. Teal, "on what I believe to be
the certain appointment of George E.
Chamberlain, to the, shipping board. He
will, make a useful and diligent commis
sioner and with his broad and varied
exierlence will not only. shed additional
lustre on his name and on the state he
has go well andt faithfully represented,
but will fulfill his duties from the stand
point of the nation's needs. With him
. there, there willj be no doubt that our
highest ideals and desires for a mer
- chant marine will be realized."
Mr. Teal offered a remarkable tribute
to the Chamber Of Commerce.
. "All that need be said is to look about
you," he averred. "On every hand the
result of its work is in evidence Hs in
fluence is apparent. Its monument is
not only, the modern, up-to-date, cosmo
politan tcity of ! Portland, but its good
work isi reflected in every part of the
Northwest. While loyal to its state and
city, thstt lcyalty is an enlightened one
based on broad mindedness and the suc
cess of all. and not that of Selfishness
, with prosperity and progress confined
to the few."
CORDIAL SCEXE GREETS
The large dining room of the Cham
ber of Commerce, for Mr. Teal's honor.
was transformed into a garden of flow
ers. The merchant flags of many na
tions were arranged to suggest the ship
which ip "dressed out" for celebration.
The friends of ja lifetime were grouped
about the guest of honor. Tribute to
his service both; at home and to the na

president of the Chamber of Commerce,
the toastmaster! of the evening. Mayor
Gecrge , L. Baker assured the brilliant

.W.E.D. STOKES
New York, April 21. (I. N. S.)
Mrs. Emma Miller, under cross ex
amination today by counsel for W.
E. D: Stokes, millionaire, in his di
vorce' suit against her daughter,
Helen EJwood Stokes, hotly resented
questions concerning the loss by the
latter, on a trip from Denver to New
York, of $50,000 wortti of jewels.
Mrs. Miller declared the questioning
was for the purpose of aiding a negro
porter named Williams, ; who has been
charged with the theft, and whose de
fense, she declared, had been undertaken
by Mr. Stokes.
Mrs. Miller reiterated that only a
few pieces of Jewelry had been given
to Mrs. Stokes by her husband. Many
of them, she said, she herself had given
to her daughter, and the latter had
Dougni otners. tsut wnen questioned as
to the value of the jewelry, or what she
herself paid for such as she had given
to Mrs. Stokes. Mrs. Miller turned to
Supreme Court Justice ; Finch and as
serted the : cross-examination was be
coming insulting.
"Is It not true." Herbert Smyth.
Stokes' counsel, asked, "that a jeweled
watch Included among the missing ar
ticles was given to Mr.'. Stokes by a
W. K. Meyer of SU Ixuis?"
"I don't remember." replied she.
"Did not your daughter send a tele
gram to Mr. Meyer irt St. Lrouis asking
him the number of the watch?"
"I don't remember, except that I be
lieve that the watch was left in St.: Louis
to be repaired."
Smyth questioned Mrs. Miller concern
ing letters she had written to Mr. Stokes
after the birth of Muriel Stokes, the
Stokes' little girl. The attorney quoted
from, one of these letters in which Mrs.
Miller had herself quoted her daoghter
as having written her:
"I never could have lived but for Will.
He stays right by me and when first 1
knew anything, he was standing beside
me holding my hand. The room w,as
full of flowers." "
Replying to questions about this and
other letters. Mrs. Miller said she did
not interpret them as the lawyer was
trying to, that she wrote them in a spirit
of conciliation toward Mr. Stokes and
that therefore she did not quote her
daughter verbatim.

Club Will Propose
Closing of River,
To Net Fishermen
A campaign to close the Willamette
river entirely to net fishing for salmon
and to prohibit the possession of nets on
the stream was launched by the execu
tive board Of the Multnomah Anglers
clubat a meeting this afternoon.
The dosing of the river will be at
tempted by initiative law at the next
state election and the cooperation ot
sportsmen throughout the state will be
enlisted, it was decided. The subject,
with the executive board's recommenda
tion, will be prominent at the next meet
ing of the Angara' club.
Through initiative law the Willamette
was closed to net fishing south of the
Oswego two years ago. The last session
of. the legislature, through what la de
clared to have been a political trade,
quietly annulled the initiative law end
reopened the river to net fishing, afte"
May 10, to the Oregon City bridge. In
connection with the prohibitory measure
the Anglers' club board suggested an
other measure forbidding thelcgislature
to annul Initiative law without refers u
