State Treasurer Estimates Enor

of $107,400,593 in Oregon.
Salem, Or., July 21. The taxpayers of
Oregon must offer up approximately
96.420,000 annually as Interest on the in
debtedness of the several governmental
subdivisions reported at $107,400,593, ac
cording to an estimate made this morn
ing by James Crawford, deputy state
treasurer, on a 6 per cent basis.
What these figures, admittedly stag
gering, mean is perhaps best shown by
a comparison with the general fund ap
propriation made by the last legisla
ture for the biennial period of 1921
and 1922 for operation.
Only $7,294,735 was appropriated by
the legislature for the two years, ac
cording to figures available in the sec
retary of state's office. This would mean
that approximately $3,647,367 is needed
for the state's business during one 12
months' period.
In other words the people of Oregon
Are paying approximately $2,772,633 more
In interest on their aggregate govern
ment debt each year, than they pay into
the general fund which provides for the
conduct of the state's various activities.
BKMKDY IS ECONOMY
Officials were this morning speculating
as to a remedy. "There seems to be but
one answer," Deputy Treasurer Craw
ford observed. "Quit voting bonds. It
is obvious that an organization of any
kind cannot vote bonds and subsequent
ly vote more bonds to pay the interest
on the first issue. It must stop some
where. 1 Apparently the bond voters must
quit until they catch up with the
hounds."

BLACK SOX' MAKE
HIT NO. 1 AT TRIAL
By William X. Hutchinson
Chicago,, July 21. (I. N. S.) Attor
neys for the "Black Sox" drew first
blood today when they broke through
the testimony of William "Bad Bill"
Burns, confessed go-between In the cor
ruption of the 1919 world's series.
Burns, under a withering cross-examination,
contradicted himself for the
first time.
He denied that he had visited the ac
cused ballplayers following the first
game in Cincinnati after having testi
fied to that effect while on the witness
stand yesterday. The cross examination
by six different defense attorneys failed
to reveal any other weakness in Burns'
story.
The defense stressed Burns contra
diction, contending that it proved
Burns could not "remember distinctly"
events which happened two years ago.
The state's "star" witness previously
testified he had "reported" to the ac
cused ."Black Sox'" after the first game,
telling them the gamblers could not pay
them the $20,000 due for -throwing" the
contest.
Another near riot occurred when
court opened. The rush of "fans" was
greater than at any previous session
and hundreds were turned away owing
to limited seating facilities.
Sea Captain Dies
Of Broken Heart,
His Friends Say
Seattle. July 21. (U. P.) Captain
Henry H. Mar den. veteran master and
pilot, died at his home here last night.
The doctors said that it was from the
effects of an operation, but his many
friends here shake their heads, declar
ing they know that he died of a broken
heart.
Captain Marden was master of the ill
fated steamship Governor which was
rammed and sunk by the freighter West
Hartland off Port Townsend last April.
Six lives were lost; and two of them
were children who died under the wreck
age of their staterooms.
. The second blow to Captain Hardens
pride came when they took his papers
away from him for a year, his friends
declared, after a lifetime on the sea
without a mishap.

Olcott Not
'Buying 'Any
Law Degree
Salem, Or., July 21. Stinging sarcasm
permeates a letter this morning sent by
Governor Olcott to Edward A. Altman,
registrar of Centennial university, Den
ver, Colo., in which the governor makes
known his reluctance to "buy" a degree
of doctor of laws which the university's
board of trustees has agreed to confer
on him for the nominal fee of $25.
"In recognition of your accomplish
ments and attainments, it was unani
mously voted to confer upon you the
degree of doctor of taws, upon your com
plying with the provisions of our char
tor," the university's letter, dated July
16, had read. "We must charge you a
diploma fee of $25, which about covers
the cost of the diploma."
Governor Olcott's answer said in part :
"This will acknowledge your kind of
fer of July 16 to sell me a degree of doc
tor of laws at the very reasonable fig'
ure of $25. Not having purchased these
degrees in the past I am a little uncer
tain as to the prevailing price, but this
charge seems moderate considering all
of the honor conferred and the import
ance of the degree. I know nothing of
your institution. In fact, this is the
same knowledge your institution has as
to my possible qualifications for receiv
ing a degre of doctor of laws.
"Personally, I have always considered
an element of sanctity should hedge in
the issuance of such degree, and In the
main I believe such to be the case. In
this case it seems to be a mere matter
of barter and sale ; a proposal whereby
I send you $25 and in return you send
me a neatly engraved diploma which
will convince my posterity that their
forbear, as a doctor of laws, was an
intellectual giant of great mental at
tainments.
"To be frank. I am rather astonished
at this proceeding and must decline to
enter into my end' of the agreement.
Such degrees should not be considered as
merchandise."
DAIRYMAN STATES
Grant Brown, a dairyman who lives
near Reedville in the Tualatin valley,
made a complaint to The Journal.
Wednesday, that he is paid less than 3
cents a quart, net, for milk which he
delivers to the Maplewood Cream com
pany. He brought with him an editorial from
-The 'Journal in which it was stated that
of the 12 cents a quart which most re
tail consumers in Portland pay for milk,
7.1 cents go to the dealer and only 4.9
cents to the dairyman.
The editorial also recited the fact- that
a dozen and a half Los Angeles milk
dealers had been Indicted, charged with
conspiracy to maintain the price of milk,
although the division .between them
selves and " the dairymen was nearly
equal.
DOCKED 20 CENTS
"I am supposed to receive $2 a hun
dred pounds for milk, which would be 4
cents a quart," said Brown. "But you
will note from ray statement (exhibiting
it) that I was credited with a test of
only 3.4. per ggnt butter fat, as the city's
legal minimum is 3.5 per cent 1 was
'docked' 20 cents a hundred on that
account. My nine cows are Jerseys and
Holsteins. The cream from the milk in
a crock comes off with, the lift of a
knife like a flapjack. I intend to ask
the city milk bureau to check this test.
"You will also notice that- 1 per cent
of the amount due me was deducted for
advertising. The purpose of the adver
tising is to encourage people to use milk.
All the dealers make the deduction, but
one would think with their profit margin
they could pay their own advertising
bills. There also comes out of the
amount due me $7.95 for hauling the
milk to town.
"CAST PAT EXPENSES"
"Thus, you will see. I was original ly
credited with $46.69 for 2594 pounds of
milk, but what I actually received was
$38.27. Out of that I must pay for feed
and labor and my family's living, and it
can't be done."
In response to a telephone eall It was
stated from the office of the Maplewood
Cream company that it did not deliver
milk at retail but sold it at wholesale
to hotels and restaurants at 35 cents a
gallon, a little less than 9 cents a quart
The figures originaly used in The
Journal were the prices being paid by
dealers to dairymen through the Ore
gon Dairymen's Cooperative league and
the division of 4.9 cents to dairymen and
7 J cents to dealers is still in effect.
Brown stated that he did not belong to
the dairymen's organisation.
Inquiry also disclosed that the milk
commission appointed by Mayor Baker
has not functioned for some time, be
cause authority to enforce its recom
mendations was withheld. While the
commission was active the division be
tween dairymen and dealers of the price
per quart paid by consumers was nearly
equal.
"This question of the milk price is too
deep for an off-hand statement," said
Mayor Baker. "Manifestly the producer
is entitled to justice. I will take the
matter up at once through the milk com
mission and through any other neces
sary agency."

Wrangle Starts at Rate Rehear
ing When City Attorney Mott
Tries to Put Company's Rate
Expert on Stand to Get Figures
By Ralph Watson
Staff Correspondent of The Joeraal
Salem, July 21. Just as the historic
clock in the hall of representatives was
waving its hands at high noon today
James Mott. city attorney for Astoria,
lighted the customary bomb to retrieve
the morning session of the public serv
ice commission from routine dullness by
demanding that X. Wigdon. rate expert
of the Pacific Telephone company, he
put on the stand, as Astoria's witness.
He pointed out that, relying on the fig
ures put into the record by the com
pany at the former hearing, he had
produced them in the examination of
Isadore Greenbaum of Salem, Tuesday
morning, only to be told by Attorney
Shaw of the company that they were
wrong.
SHAW PROTESTS
Now, Mott told the commission, he
wanted to put Wigdon on the stand just
long enough to find out the real rate
base and the rate of return as applied to
the Astoria exchange, upon the basis of
the increased rates.
This statement and demand brought
Shaw to his feet in energetic protest
He contended that the company was be
fore the commission on the defensive.
that it intended to put these figures into
the record in due time, but that it was
unfair for its testimony to be taken by
Mott and used in developing his case
against the company, prior to the time
that the company was ready to produce
the figures.
SEEKS FIGURES
"I relied upon the statistics put Into
the record by the company at Its previ
ous hearing, Mott contended, "but Mr.
Shaw told the commission that they
were wrong.
"He explained that they had been esti
mated figures, and now I want to get
from Mr. Wigdon the actual figures
showing the rate base for Astoria and
the rate of return upon that base under
the present telephone rates. I do not
want to cross examine him, and I am
sure he will not be a hostile witness
know what he would testify, but I can
not give bis testimony for him.
Scales it usfai
"Astoria can not hire engineers to
compile these figures," oMtt insisted,
"or retain lawyers who can stay
throughout this hearing until after the
company has developed its case and put
in its testimony. All I want is to ask
Mr. Wigdon for this information, make
a 10-minute statement and go home."
Shaw insisted that It was not fair for
him to call upon the company for the
testimony at this time.
"We let you see these figures yester
day," he said, "and I am willing that
you should use them now in your state
ment, and should you use them I will
not controvert them. But." turning to
the commission, "I submit that we
ought not to be asked to produce our
testimony now when we are here on the
defensive and before the other side has
developed its case."
WILL CONSIDER QUESTION
Chairman Williams, at the close of
the colloquy, said that the request of
Mr. Mott presented a new question not
heretofore before the commission and
that it would be taken under advisement
and determined at the commencement
of the afternoon session.
Preceding Mott's request, E. M.
Cousin, attorney for the State Telephone
federation, made his statement to the
commission, outlining the contentions of
the federation. He insisted that the
question of lack of competition ought
to be ' taken Into consideration In the
establishment of reasonable rates by the
commission, and pointed out that while
the Pacific company had never made

BARNES LEADS IN
OPEN GOLF MATCH
By Robert T. Barlow
Columbia Country Club. Chevy Chase,
lid., July 21. (I. N. S.) Jim Barnes of
the Pelham club of New York took the
lead In the contest for the national open
championship today when he led all
contestants in the first round with a
card of 36-3J 69.
George Duncan of England, winner of
the British open championship in 1920,
was the closest player to Barnes, with a
T ' tk.. 1 ttma. in th. tftiir.
nament that Barnes scored a 69. as he
made this figure in the qualifying round,
a repetition of Jock Hutchinson's feat
at Toledo last year.
Barnes started none too steadily and
was in frequent trouble for the six holes,
to which point he was three over fours,
thanks largely to three putts at the
third and three more for a six at the
sixth, where his assent shot was Just
off the edge of the green.
At the seventh be. followed a long
drive by pitching across the green, but
his Ions1 approach putt, much too
strongly hit struck the back of the cup.
hopped four inches into the air and
settled back in the hole.
That was the first of four consecutive
threes. His iron second to the ninth was
a masterpiece which stopped four feet
from the pin and the tenth hole was
its exact duplicate. A fine iron second
at the eleventh left him a seven footer
for another three, but he missed.
Barnes played the last 12 holes in six
under fours.
His one mistake on those holes was
the taking of three putts at the short
thirteenth, largely because of mud on
his ball. He laid his third at the
twelfth, stone dead. At the sixteenth
his tee shot landed and stopped two
feet from the hole. He made a fine bid
to run in a IS footer at the home green
to beat his own record made In the
qualifying round.
The only time during the Inward round
that he was at all off the line was oa
his spoon second "to the twelfth and that
found a trap through no fault of his
own. but caromed off the sloping fair
way. Jock Hutchison, after taking 41 out
and a five at the tenth, played the last
eight holes In 29 to get a 71. Joe Kirk

Neither the county court nor the coro

possible murderer, although there is an
unofficial tendency here to regard the
missing dentist as the man the law seeks
Brum field was known to have been
wisa Russell the night of the murder.
It was Brumfleld's car under which
Russell was found, and nothing had been
heard from the dentist since that time.
Sheriff Starmer Is of the opinion that
Brumfleld has either headed for Canada
or Mexico. He may have started for
Canada and doubled back through Cen

characters answering the dentist's de
scription have been received by the
sheriffs office here from officers in
Central Oregon, who are conducting a
thorough search for the missing man.

RUSSIA HOPES FOR
U.S.
By Ed L. Keen
London; Jury 21. Soviet Russia Is
hopeful that she win -be invited to at
tend the Washington disarmament con
ference. It was learned here today.
Preparations already have. been made
for dispatching Foreign Minister Tchtt
cherin and Under Secretary Zinovoff to
Washington If the invitation is forth
coming. Russia's hopes are based on two mat
ters. The first is the belief that President
Harding's proposal really is an at
tempt at securing world peace. Russian
leaders contend that this is the Rus
sian goal also.
The other is that the Far East prob
lem is one of the most urgent confront
ing Russia. Soviet officials hope that
such a conference will frustrate Japan
ese encroachments la the Far East re
public, which they declare has created
virtually a state of war between Rus
sia and Japan.
Russians here, both sympathetic to
and opposed to the soviet regime, de
clared that the exclusion of their home
country from the Washington confer
ence would have a bad effect
Leaving the Russian question unset
tled, they said, leaves the world con
fronted with the possibility of warlike
outbreaks. Also it will permit Russia
to maintain her present standing army
of 2.000,000 men, the greatest armed
force in Europe today.
These conditions, they asserted. exUl

HENRY ALDERS'
RETRIAL ORDERED
Retrial of Henry Albers may proceed,
according to a mandate from the United
States supreme court received this
morning by G. H. Marsh, clerk of the
Iocs! federal court
The mandate of the court Is verified
by William H. Taft as chief Justice, and
is signed by James D. Maher. clerk of
the' supreme court
It states that on April XT, 1921. Solici
tor General Frierson filed a confession of
error and moved the court to reverse the
Judgment found by the Oregon federal
court and confirmed by the circuit court
of appeals at San Francisco.
Albers was convicted of violation of
the espionage act by a jury here and sen
fenced to three years In the federal pris
on and fined JrO.OOO.
When informed by the clerk that the
mandate had been received United States
Attorney Lester W. Humphreys said he
would appear in court soon and ask to
have the order spread upon the records
of the local court. The frrndntfi can
not be filed here unless Humphreys takes
this formal action.
Request for a new trial will not be
asked at once. Humphreys said, as he
has been informed that Albers ts not in
a physical condition to go into court at
tne present tune. Albers suffered a
stroke of paralysis recently which is
reported to have rendered him blind and
to have left him In a serious physical
condition otherwise. Attorneys for Al
bers could doubtless persuade the court
to have the case postponed for this rea
son, as It Is customary for the local fed
eral Judges to demand that the defend
ant be present In the court room during
a criminal proceeding.
Authorities interpret the warding of
the mandate received today to mean that
"further proceedings" can only signify
a new trial.

SILESIA IS AGAIN
CRUX OF WAR TALK
By Wanes L. Mails bar
London, July 21. (L N. S An acute
International situation, involving the
possibility of a wide-open breach, be
tween Great Britain and France and
the threat of war between Germany end
Poland, grew out of the Upper Silesia
issue today.
The strain on the Anglo-French rela
tions was emphasised by the vigorous
exchange of notes between Paris aad
London during the mst 36 hours. France
Insists that there is danger of a new
war conflagration in the East over the
upper Silesian question, but Instead of
acquiescing to an immediate meeting of
tne supreme council, France desires to
nd another allied army into Upper
Silesia. Great Britain is opposing every
French proposal. m
Another cause for anxiety is contained
in reports from Helsingfors that soviet
Kneels is mobilising more troops and is
maintaining a hostile attitude towards
Poland. ,
Premier BrianeTs reply to the British
note asking for an Immediate meetinr
oi tne supreme council
transmitted
to the foreign office this afternoon by
the French ambassador.
Briand said he needed a vacation
and cannot attend a meeting of the su
preme counil before the middle of next
month. He suggested that experts con
tinue their study of the Silesian question
in the meantime.
Marquis Curaon, foreign secretary. Is
refusing to accept the French viewpoint,
it is understood that be will Immediate-
ly make a fresh protest to Paris against
further delay In summoning the supreme
council.
