land's Quota in $50,000,000
Pool to Provide Credit Facil
ities for Western Cattlemen.
Following a meeting Friday afternoon
of member banks of the Portland Clear
ing House association, W. L. Thompson,
vice president of the First National bank.
announced that the clearing house banks
of the city had subscribed $500,000, Port
land's quota in the 150.000,000 pool re
cently ratified by the banks throughout
the country, to provide credit facilities
for the cattle and sheep men of the
Wert
'The banks within the Twelfth federal
reserve district have been allotted a
quota f $2,500,000. It is expected that
this amount will be fully subscribed for
by July it.
WILL HELP STOCKMEN'
"The operation of this pool," said
Thompson." will materially improve the
situation of the livestock growers and
will reflect better business conditions in
the Northwest. The existing freight
rates on livestock to Eastern markets
are distressing to the livestock industry
Should the interstate commerce com
mission see fit to reduce rates, a matter
that is now before them, an acute situa
tion will be relieved.
"This much-needed aid to the livestock
growers will be available within the
very near, future. Soon after the close
of the pool, which will probably be July
18. the committee to pass on loans will
be named and I will be able to announce
all details in connection with the oper
ation of the pooL"
GIVE VALUABLE DATA
Thompson was a member of the sub
committee that recently met in Chicago
and formulated the working plana of the
pool. He and H. L. Corbett, through
their close relationship and wide expert
ence in the livestock industry, furnished
considerable valuable information at the
conferences
Each application for credit must have
the approval of three bankers in the
state from which it emanates, according
to Thompson. Notes received under the
loan will have a maturity of six months,
with the privilege of renewal, where nec
essary, up to the total of 30 months. The
rate of Interest is not to exceed 8 per
cent and the pool will lend up to 75 per
cent of the value of the stock on the
range.
It is held by the bankers instrumental
in providing the credit that the chief
purpose of the loan is service to pro
vide greatly needed aid to those who are
confronted with a very menacing problem.

Cronkhite was killed about two years
ago, during a practice march. The orig

Major Cronkhite's mother, aided by her
husband. General Adalbert Cronkhite,
started an Investigation to take from her
son's name the stigma of having killed
himself and to find the men she believed
had killed him.
The case came to .a head when Ser
geant Pothier waa taken Into custody as
a result of Mrs. Cronkhite's work. He
made a statement, according to govern
ment detectives. In which he said he
killed Cronkhite at the order of Rosen
bluth, then a captain. Rosenbluth was

statement.
The release of Rosenbluth from fed

attorneys that the department of Justice

By A. O. Ha j ward
Washington. July IS. (I. N. S.) The
house late this afternoon, by a vote of
122 to 10S, approved the dyestuff em
bargo provision of the Fordney tariff
bill. The provision calls for a three year
embargo on Importation of dyes tuffs.
subject to control of the United States
tariff commission and is aimed against
low price German dyes
Harsh charges against an alleged dye-
stuffs monopoly had been made by Rep
resentative Freer of Wisconsin, who
opened the attack on the Fordney tariff
bill.
WARNING 18 READ
Freer read to the house a warning
from Wilbur Wax em an of the American
Protective Tariff association that the
proposed dyeatuffs embargo would "lose
every doubtful congressional district'
for the Republican party In the next
election.
Frear moved to strike from the bill
paragraph 27, which places an embargo
on the importation of competitive Ger
man dyes.
"The change proposed by me," said
Frear. "does not affect the 35 per cent
sd valorem and 7 cents s pound rate on
dyeatuffs carried in another paragraph
of this bill. That duty Is" practically ISO
per cent and la much higher than car
ried In the present law, higher than In
previous Republican tariff laws. This
duty should be sufficiently protective.
The embargo provision will grant a
monopoly in the dyeatuffs industry to
interests In this country which have se
cured valuable German chemical dye
patents for s song as a result of the war
and the action of the former alien prop
erty custodian. It will prevent, or make
it unduly difficult for. the American
user of dyes to get a good dye or a spe
cial dye that be desires for -use In his
Industry.
FER8MING FOR PROTECTION
Representative Longworth of Ohio
read a letter to the houst from General
Pershing stating that protection is nec
essary for the dye InduWry and eoeJ tar

explosives used in warfare are made

The old steam roller has been brought
out, polished up and made ready for the
task of smoothing the way for passage

House Republican leaders gave warn
ing that dissatisfied Republicans and
Democrats who opposed the bill would
be given no opportunity to make drastic
changes and delay its passage as
planned by the ways and means
