Washington. Sept 21. (L N. 8.)
Though unemployment is the most seri
ous problem that confronts the United
States today. It must not be remedied
by any method "which seeks' either pal
liation or tonic from the public treas
ury." President Harding- declared today.
wnn ne opened th national uneraploy
ment conference here. Such a remedy
would but "excite a contribution cause,"
tne president said.
" undamentally sound, financially
strong, industrially unimpaired, com
merclally consistent and politically un
afraid, there ought to be work for every
body In the United States who choses

condition at home and our place in the
world depends on everybody going to

otism ana aevotion which make for
fortunate and. happy people.
IT IS WORLD PROBLEM
Unemployment, the president said. Is
a condition which is not peculiar to the
United States alone, tut prevails gener
ally throughout the world.-' The results
of this conference will be watched by
every country In the world, the president
aitia.
"If we fall today we will try again to

TESTIFIES
By Ellis H. Martin
inUrnit tonal N'-w, Berries Staff Cocmpondmt
San Franoiwt), Sept 26. Vital testi
mony on which the state expects to
clinch Its case aKalnat Roacoe "Fatty"
Arbuckle, charged with the murder of
Virginia Rappe, and likewise on which
the defense hopes to free htm, was
lven today at the fourth session of the
preliminary hearing of the famous film
comedian, by Dr. Arthur Beardslee,
bouse physician of the St. Francis hotel.
Tr. Hvardslee, who emerged from a
two weeks' hunting trip In the, wilds of
Mono county to learn of the nationwide
prominence of the case, testified that ne
dlagnolsed Miss Rappe's Injuries the eve
ning, following Arbuckle's Labor day
party as a serious Internal Injury- This
the state believed clinched their case.
But Dr. Beardslee revealed that about
4 o'clock of the morning following tle
party he treated Miss Rappe with a
surgical Instrument and thereby con
firmed his diagnosis.
On cross-examination the defense re
vealed that Its answer to the charges
that Miss Rappe died as a result, of In
juries inflicted by the film comedian will
be an effort to prove that she died from
natural causes.
Pr. Beardslee followed his sensational
statements by answering ajhypothetlcal
question asked by the stale as to his
opinion of the cause of death, supposing
that the patient had died the following
Friday from a' ruptured bladder: with
the declaration that in his opinion that
such a ruptured bladder must have re
sulted from "direct or Indirect violence."
8uch violence, he said, probably woula

of the bladder might not have been

Something
more than
an "Oregon
mist"
would be required to dampen the
optimism of an Ohio banker, judging
from the gay spirited paxjy of 140 fi
nanciers and members of their families
from the "Buckeye state" who set out
from -the Multnomah hotel for a trip
over the Columbia river highway at 9 :30
a. m. today. The Ohio party arrived
at 7:30 on the finest special train which
ever visited the Pacific coast and Is
scheduled to depart at 10 o'clock tonight'
for Los Angeles to attend the forty
seventh annual convention of the Ameri
can Bankers' association. The trip over
the highway followed breakfast at the
Multnomah and in the afternoon the
visitors were taken for an auto drive
around the city.
LOCAL RECEPTION GIVE?f
The Ohio delegation followed closely
on the trail of 365 bankers and finan
ciers from New York and other Eastern
states who left for California at 11 :45
Sunday night, after a day of sunshine,
golf and auto touring in and about the
city. The New York party arrived early
bunday morning in a special train de
luxe of three sections via Seattle and
the Canadian Pacific and breakfasted
at the Benson hotel. Both the New
York and Ohio delegations wee met at
Union station by a committee of 12
local bankers headed by EL C. Sammons
of the United States National bank.

Another little boy under the school
age was killed on Portland streets to
day, the third victim of this kind in fve
days.
Grant Patterson, the 4-year-old son oi
Joseph A. Patterson of 567 Linn avenue,
the latest victim. He was crushed to
death about 1 o'clock this afternoon
under a south bound Sellwood car at
East Thirteenth and Linn streets, almost
dlrecyy in front of the "youngster's home.
Like the 5-year-old boy killed Thurs
day, and the 6-year-old child fatally in
jured Friday, today s victim toddled out
in front of oncoming traffic without
heeding danger. Although he saw the
streetcar coming he attempted to run
across the street, was caught under the
wheels and killed Instantly.
J. P. Olson was the motorman in
charge of the car. IWtnesses declare
that he was running at a alow rate of
speed and that he had no chance to
stop. Leo Goetsch, deputy coroner, took
charge of the body and said that an in
quest was unlikely since all the witnesses
declared the motorman was not to blame.

State Exposition at Salem Opens
With Officials Solidly Opposed
to Evil of Chance Games;
Crowds on Hand Despite Rain.
Salem. Sept. 26. Gambling will not
be allowed at the Sixtieth Oregon state
fair, "which opened at Salem this morn-!
lnj for the week. Before the gates
opened all concessionaire!! had been
given to . understand that no game
would be allowed to operate which
works upon a gambling principle.
Not only are the' fair authorities de
termined to put an end to the evil but
their efforts are to be backed by the
forces of the city of Salem and of the
state.
Officials of the fair. Including A. H.
Lea, secretary, and all of the board, are
of the opinion that the fair will prosper
and the attendance heaven larger than
In former years, when most any kind
of a game was allowed to operate.
MOTEMEJfT NOT SEW
The movement to eliminate the conces
sions of a gambling nature really started
at the state fair last year. At that time
the fair board felt helpless to do any
thing because of the wording of the
contract. When certain practices were
unveiled and the fact became known
that small children were- becoming easy
victims through their desire for Kewple
dolls and do dads," the governor took
a hand- and stopped a few who were
clearly breaking one or two state laws.
Since that time several fairs have kept
all gambling concessions out or have
later "thrown them out. At the inter
state fair at Snokane recently such con-
Cessions were ordered to close up. They
were' denied an Injunction to .keep the
f fleers team cloains them ur-
th Tillamook,- counts lalr..-the
Columbia county fair no games of chance
were allowed to - enter th grounds. At
the. Multnomah county fair a few t
closed up for having revolvers on dis
play,, contrary to state law, but "wheels"
and other .devices were allowed to con
tinue. These, are but a few of the cases
which show , the development of public
opinion against gambling at fains.
Eighteen of Oregon's 36 counties are
represented with individual county .dis-

RATE TO OPERATE
Wednesday is the day on which the 10
per cent preferential ordered by the in
terstate commerce commission in the
Columbia basin case will become fully
effective between points in Washington
south of Snake river and Portland.
The preferential has been fully in ef
fect since July 1 between Portland and
Oregon points in the zone south of Snake
,ua. C .. i I .
to Portland from the Washington por
tion of this zone has also been in effect
since July 1.
But the 5 per cent increase from
Washington points to Puget Sound, as
ordered by the commission, was sus
pended by an order of the Washington
department of public works. This order
expires September 28.
FORTIFIED BT ORDER
Although the Washington board of
public works today announced a hearing
for November on the intrastate appli
cation of the rates, the railroads, obedi
ent to the mandatory order of the inter
state commerce commission, are pro
ceeding to make full application of the
new rates, and In so doing they are
fortified by a temporary federal court
restraining order issued last Friday
which forbids the Washington depart
ment to do anything further which
would prevent the new rates becoming
actually effective.
While the Washington department of
public works is taking steps Intended
to show, if possible, that its Jurisdiction
over intrastate rates in Washington is
superior to that of the interstate com
merce commission, the issue may be
settled even more quickly -in similar ac
tion which has been brought by the
Illinois public service commission before
the United States supreme court, said
John R. Lothrop, manager of the Port
'.and Traffic Ac Transportation associa
tion, this morning.
AFFECTS GRAIJT AND FLOUR .
. The 10 per cent preferential as it will
be enforced affected class and grain
and floor rates. It does not affect com
modities other than grain and flour. In
its original iinaing tne federal com
mission definitely included all com
modities. But in Its mandatory order it
mentioned .only grain and flour specif
ically. It is expected that it will yet
definitely Include other commodities.
.The 6 per cent reduction In rates to
Portland from Washington points hi
already had , effect in increasing the
grain movement to this port, but the
fall 10 per cent preferential Is expected
to bring many mil lions of bushels more
of grain from this year's crop. The
production in the sons south of Snake
river this year will approximate lt.OOO,
000 bushels. -

The United States Is tone of the most
illiterate nations In the world, stated
Dr. John J. Tigert. national commis
sioner of education, who was in Portland
Sunday and left today for Salem, where
ne was to address the State Teachers'
association.
" The popular fallacy that more people
can read and write in the United States
than in any other country was lamented.
by Dr. Tigert.
Dr. Tigert a proposals for raising the
educational standards are as follows
Make the children go to Bchool. Leas
than half of the 27,000.000 children of
school age are actually attending school.
he said Some never enter school and
others quit soon after entering.
Finance the schools liberally enough
to allow expansion and the best possible
equipment. The public Is too backward
in taxing themselves to maintain the
educational system, he declared.

of the teachers have never been trained
to teach, he said.
'America has been a country of Im
mense natural resources, ' stated Dr.
Tigert, "and the efforts of the people
have been directed to the exploitation of
these resources. They must change and
think more of the education of the com
ing generations."
The country schools have. In the past.
been largely responsible for the wide
spread Illiteracy, the doctor stated.
"But the little one-room country
school Is rapidly disappearing," he said.
and the modern consolidated school is
taking its place."

I had no feeling in It. and. of course,
conldn't handle kt like I should. That
was the reason X Tell the second time at
the fence.
After getting over the fence I ran
about (0 yards and dropped In the brush,
completely exhausted, la a few mUrales
the guards were running peat me and.
Judging from their breathing, they rauat
have been all in also. Dr. Jento stopped
within 10 feet ot me and called to jsocn

was coming to where he beard the noise

When I got within 100 yards of the
barn I collapsed from loss of blood and
ley there about two hours, I thought
then I would have to give up. but I final
ly managed to get to the water trough
and get a good drtnk. That revived sae

I got up In the hayloft of the barn and
stayed there two days, coming down at'
n'-ght and getting all the milk-1 could'
drink. That milk sure waa a Ufeeaver.
