TRADE POINTERS
Prevention of war and encouragement
of trade-on the Pacific coasts are "indi
rectly dependent "Jfon tha. rieu!ts' t-.
tained" at the Genoa-conference in the
opinion of John Barrett, former Port
land . newspaperman, and one. of the
foremost of International diplomats' and
arbitrators.
Barrett Is la Portland after an ab
sence of six years and is filling nu
merous speaking : engagements on the
Pacific coast. At noon today he ad
dressed the members ' forum 1 of the
Chamber of Commerce. For 13 years
Barrett was director-general of the Pan
American' Union and prior to that was
consecutively .minister to Siam.' special
trade commissioner to Asia and minis
ter to Argentina, Panama and Colombia.
Through his activities as counselor
and adviser in international affairs and
as " former official representative of the
government in numerous foreign coun
tries. Barrett has a keen insight ; on
world trade conditions and particularly
as to how those conditions apply to
.roruana.
Through the years of foreign diplo
matic relationship Barrett has obtained
one thought of paramount importance to
Portland, and that is that unless this
city bends every effort to build up for
eign trade with Asia, Australia and Latins-America,
It will be unable to- con
tinue as other than a second-rate city.
Since international trade is closely al
lied with International problems, this
diplomat is likewise hopeful that, because
the order of the day Js arbitration war
wlu not develop on the Pacific ocean.

o'clock this morning, "by eight bandits.
The robbers stopped the train by plac

According to advices to William Wil-1

cific Tuacon division, a second bandit
was shot by Stewart and : probably
fataUy wounded. He disappeared: in
the brush and is being sought. . !
The bandit killed instantly was carry
ing putty and dynamite and is believed
to have been the expert cracksman of
the band. ;
Though the bandits posted guards on
each side of the train they did not mo
lest the passengers in any way.
The train was delayed an hour ' and
45 minutes by the attempted holdup.
Conductor Madigan and Engineer Reid

HOOD RIVER YEGGS
ROB SAFE
Hood River, May 15. Hood River ex
perienced its ' first visit! of professional
yeggmen this morning when the safe at
the Rial to theatre was blown with nitro
glycerin. It is believed that the bur
glars watched the theatre until after the
bookkeeper had locked up for the night
and then entered the theatre by forcing
the doors with a pick they had stolen
from the O-W. R. & N. car house ahere.
The safe is lodged in a small room
and it was easy for the yeggmen to blow
it without attracting attention. How
ever, to avoid all risk, they tore down the
heavy plush curtains in' the theatre and
soaked them with water before- packing
the door of the safe with them.
The explosion not only tore off ths big
safe door but snapped the heavy steel
frame and sent a shower of scrap metal
through the door and walls. The plush
curtains were riddled with holes and
parts of them were found in a neigh
boring room. Several residents heard
the blast but attributed it to work oh the
loop road, where blasting continues day
and night. :
The thieves obtained about $400 : in
silver, but in their hurry to escape over
looked two leather wallets containing
several hundreds of dollars in currency.
The theatre Si insured against loss
by burglary and" is fully covered.

Hello Girl
Aids Police;
Man in Jail
Oregon City, May 15. A one-letter
twist in his nivme, a bad check, and the
quick wit of a local telephone operator,
are responsible for . the fact that Edward
C- Cannon of Portland is In the county
jail today on charges of obtaining money
under false pretenses. '
Cannon made an attempt here to pass
himself : as '"Kddie Shannon,". Seattle
prize fighter, ibult he made a mistake
when he called at the telephone office.
Mrs. Amy Downjey the operator, with
whom; he happened to converse, , knew
Shannon, who had been a frequent visit
or at her home. It proved Cannon's un
doing. ,
Cannon, during the early part of Sat
urday evening, .bought a (5 shirt at
Price's jdepartraent store, presenting a
check for $20- on the Bank of Commerce.
signed by . "Eddie Shannon. It was
cashed and he received- 815 in change.
A. AU Price became suspicious and.
In company with i Deputy Sheriff Henry
Hughes i started to look for. the man.
In the meantime! Cannon droppea into
the phone office. ! He wanted a dentist.
ho said, and asked the phone operator to
call one. for him. He said be could not
talk because his ,Jaw was hurting, and
asserted, that hei had been in fight
with Alex Trambitas; The operator got
Dr. Krassig on the phone, and Cannon
went intor a booth to talk after the
girl refused tdj'bonduct the conversation
for him.'
Then Cannon told Mrs. Downey he
was Shannon. She insisted that he was
not. But the man maintained that he
was. 'Ha spite of the fact that he did
not look, like Shannon," Mrs. Downey
said.
He left. Just then Price and Hughos
dropped into the i office and telephoned
to the Portland police to intercept the
man. Mrs. Downey Informed them that
he had Just left the office and a chase
started. It carried the officers as far
as New ; Era, without result-
As Mrs. Downey and her husband were
crossing, the Fifth street bridge on their
way home they passed Cannon. Mrs.
Downed immediately went into the
Crown-Willamette Inn and telephoned
the authorities. Price nd Hughes had
returned to the telephone office and the
operator told them of Mrs. Downey's
call. Cannon was arrested. .His -name
was learned letters found on his
person, One . of the letters, evidently
from his mother, asked htm to "go
straight."

CHILD LABOR
High Tribunal Decides That 1919
taw Taxing Products of Chil
dren's Labors to Keep , Them
From Working Is Illegal.
Washington, May 15. The supreme
court of the United States today held
invalid and void the child labor tax law
of 1919. The decision was rendered .by
Chief Justice Taft.
In an appeal from a decision of a
North" Carolina court the supreme court
held that a tax imposed by congress on
child labor and Its products with the
view -to eliminating the working of chil
dren was illegal, j
The tax was carried in the revenue
act of 1918 and was enacted after the
supreme court held, that congress could
not use its regulatory power over inter
state commerce to prevent the. interstate
shipment of child, labor products.
The suit was brought by Eugene T,
Johnston and others in behalf of North
Carolina child workers ajrainst the Ath-
erton Mills of Charlotte, the government
backing the mills in the effort to have
the law upheld. ! -
When the mill threatened to discharge
Johnston's 'two small sons because the
product' of their labors wete taxed,' he
obtained an injunction from the federal
court on the ground that the tax was
unconstitutional. !

of the tremble! has been estimated by
averages It appeared to have been felt
at 9 :29. thoughf some observors said it
was four minutes earlier; some several
minutes later. . - ;j ) -

movement was from ; north to south,

' Officials at th weather bureau reoort
ed that, while they had no official record
of the quake, information had been re
ceived from all parts of. the city of Its
occurrence, almost -all reporting that the
direction of th tremor , seemed to be
northerly and southerly. '
i The quake wks generally felt around
Linnton, Burlington and west of tliose
cities for a milei back into the hills, said
a F. Parr, agent of the 8. P. A a at
Linnton.- One man-near the. West Ore

bottles were shaken off the shelves. , .
DESCRIBES EiKTft WATE ",
Williams, speaking from a geological
viewpoint, expressed the opinion that in
describing the phenomenon' as an earth
wave, differentiation should be made
from a "slip" of a positive earthquake.
He considered It to have been caused by
a shock . passing through the solid
structure of the. earth with the up-and-down
movementi preferred to. When such
tremors become) sufficiently, severe, they
result in an earth break, or fracture of
the upper layers, of earth formation.. He

SCOFFS AT 8HIFTING THE0ET
j Williams would not hazard a guess as
to the central point of the disturbance
or Its probable cause. He rather scoffed
at the theory that recent reported shifts
of the earth's axis might be .responsi
ble, holding that the shifting, which,
goes on all the; time, la so slow and
slight at any particular time as to be-
changes. T- ..-;- " l! - -'V "i"
