Washington. Aug-, h. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
The wool tariff battle in the senate
is over. The victory is practically
complete for the farm tariff bloc and
for the committee rates, and the wool
manufacturer is not going to suffer.
The only fellow remaining' in doubt
about where he "is at" is the con
sumer. The wool grower gets protection of
33 cents a pound on the clean wool
content, so his protection is not af
fected either by the shrinkage of the
wool or the grade of Its value. This
protection la carried Into- comp,ensa
tory rates for the manufacturer or the
cloth importer, for manifestly the duty
on raw wool would not alone protect.
If foreign clothmakers could send in
their products at underselling cots.
1MESDMET8 SECURED
There has been some controversy
over the graduation of the compensa
tory duties, and In a few spots Sena
tor Lenroot, leading a group of dis
senting Republicans, secured amend
ments which will serve to cut out some
of the concealed protection on goods
composed partly of wool and partly
of other materials. Concealed protec
tion was one of the great evils of the
Payne-Aldrich bill, now generally de
nounced, yet some provision of the
same variety are to be found in the
present bill.
The wool, grower of the West is in
terested primarily In protection against
cheap wool from abroad. Hearing
that he has 33 cents on the clean con
' tent, he is satisfied, and does not pur
sue the question much farther. This
works into a compensatory duty of 49
cents, taking account of conversion
cost and elements tof the trade. As
the ordinary suit contains 3V4 or 4
pounds of wool, this does not seem
so much. If the question were as sim
ple as this, there would be no diffi
culty, for there is general agreement
upon granting some j aid to the wool
grower.
BATES ABE ATTACKED
It Is in the method of levying the
duty, and of course the rate, that
the difficulty comes. The Lenroot
group held that the Republican party
cannot successfully defend itself in
levying the same rate on coarse wools
as on fine wools, thereby producing
an ad valorem rata as high as 137 per
cent on the cheaper grades, worn by
the poor, while levying a 60 per cent
rate on the broadcloth, of the rich.
Senator Wadsworth. supported by
Lenroot, also contended that 33 cents
is -too high, and tried to make it 28.

the strettcar strike today.
Monday .morning at o'clock service
on both streetcars and elevated trains

He- Vamp
Walter S. Brown, would-be male
vamp, rattles the bars of the city jail
today because he offered Miss Alma
Armstrong, good looking and 22. "S30
and a kiss" as a retainer fee if she ;
would promise to go to work in his
restaurant when he opens it in a couple
of weeks. Police are holding him on
a technical charge of disorderly con
duct while more sinister suspicions are
being Investigated.
Brown's system, according to police,
was to have girls sent to him from an
employment office and then offer them
the $30 and a kiss. Kven his restau
rant was a figment of dream, they
state, used as a blind for his luring
unlucky working girls into his presence.
Brown, who is 27, placed an order
for a waitress with Winifred Thomas
of the Square Deal Employment bureau
in the Goodnough building several
weeks ago. A number of girls were
sent him, but he did not cancel his
order, so it was presumed he hadn't
been satisfied.
Friday afternoon, the employment
office having grown suspicious, two
women were sent to guard Miss Arm
strong when she went to Sixth and
Yamhill streets to meet Brown. The
rendezvous was fixed at Brown's sug
gestion when he was notified another
girl was coming to see him.
Brown strolled with the girl to Water
and Market streets, . talking about the
restaurant he proposed to open. Then
he is alleged to have smiled ingrati
atingly and said :
"I'll give you $30 and a kles as a
retainer."
The girl was dumfounded, alone as
she was with the man in a rough and
unsympathetic part of town.
Hut help was near at hand. The two
women who had been watching her
progress had grown afraid when the
man led her Into the neighborhood
along the river. They called Patrol
man Scott, who moved into the scene,
collared Brown and called for the pa
trol wagon. While they were waiting.
Brown jerked away and ran. He was
captured after a chase of several
blocks by Scott and I. C. Deben of the
Ohio hotel. He was booked at head
quarters for disorderly conduct.
POINCARE PLOT
SUSPECTS TAKEN
Paris, Aug. 6. L K. S.) Four an
archists were arrested today at Saar
brucken on the suspicion they were
connected with the alleged German
monarchist plot to assassinate Pre
mier Poincare.
The police at Saarbrucken believe
that the four prisoners are members
of the German monarchist orfti.nisa.tion
consuls. The two assassins of Dr.
Walter Rathenau, former German for
eign secretary, were members of this
organization.
(Saarbrucken is on the Franco-German
border. Formerly it was on Ger

Coolidge to See
Ground Turned for
Koosevelt Statue
After conference with Dr. Henry
Waldo Coe this morning, Commissioner
Pier, in charge of city parks, an
nounced that tentative plans have been
arranged to have the ground-breaking
for the Roosevelt equestrian statue on
August 15 during the visit of Vice
President Coolidge.
If the plan is satisfactory to the
vice president, a publlo affair will be
made of the event, at which he may
give a short address. A general pa
triotic program will be arranged and
troops from Vancouver barracks, with
the regimental band, will participate.
It is definitely determined that the
location of the Roosevelt statue shall
be directly in front of the Ladd school,
in the center of the park block between
Madison and Jefferson streets. The
ground-breaking ceremony will be pre
liminary to the formal dedication of
the statue, which is planned to take
place some time in September.
Reformers Get Great Shock
Lead Pencil Sold on Sunday

(Copyright, 1925)
Newport News. Va., Aug. 5. This
town of 35,000 shipbuilders and their
families have got to be good. The
Sunday-closing law is to be enforced
to the letter. The leaders of the Chris
tian league have so decided.
A committee of that organisation
waited on the city manager, L. G.
Thorn, today. They presented the re
port of investigators employed by
them. It showed that the drug stores
of the city were selling articles banned
as luxuries under the Sunday act.
Among them was soft drinks and to
bacco. "Why. one of our committee was

"I know," replied Manager Thorn,
"and, of, course, I very much fear that

the like. But what am I to do? I
cannot detail my policemen to stand
in front of drug stores and. keep watch
to see that such things do not occur.

George Barnhart Family of

Poisoned by Eating Bologna;
Husband, Two Sons May Live
Walla Walla, Wash.. Aug. 5. Mrs.
George Barnhart, 36. is dead, and her
husband and two sons. Lloyd, 19, and
Neal, 15. are in the hospital here in
a serious condition as a result of an at
tack of ptomaine poisoning, caused,
local physicians believe, by bologna
sausage eaten by the family at their
home in Starbuck. Wash., Tuesday eve
ning. Barnhart. a member of the mer
cantile firm of Barnhart Sc. Sproul of
Starbuck, came here with his family
Friday afternoon after all had de
veloped a serious illness, following eat
ing of the bologna.
All were peculiarly affected with a
sore throat at first. Mrs. Barnhart
later developed more serious symp
toms, which resulted in her removal
here for medical attention. Physicians
are working desperately to save the
lives of the rest of the family who,
doctors say, are affected by a type
of ptomaine little known.
Attending physicians say the poison
which the family encountered affects
the organs of the throat with a paraly
sis which makes it impossible for the
victims to swallow food. The funeral
of the mother is being held up. Hope
for recovery of the husband and two
Eons is held.

'Chaplin Mustache'
A pair of nervous, shabbily-dressed
bandits entered the office of the Brook

late Friday night, and held up C. L.
Howe, night office man. escaping with
$109 in cash and a check for 820.
Howe said the men walked by the
office first and on seeing that he was
alone they went in. One of the men
thrust a small gun In Howe's face and
commanded him to keep his hands on
the desk, where he had them, while the
other went to the cash register and
rifled it.
After getting the money, they went
out of the office and one block north,
disappearing to the east.
Both of the men were tall and about
28 years of, age. One wore a "Charlie
Chaplin" mustache.
plained they were willing enough to
allow the sale of newspapers and medi
cines and to allow the restaurants to
remain open on Sunday, but they In
sisted that there be no further sale of
oft drinks and the like, and threat
ened that if their wishes were not car
ried out something would happen to
the city manager.

The chairman of the committee in

This organisation some months ago
placed a ban on Buckroe beach, a very
popular coast resort, originally settled
by Captain John Smith in 1(07, because
it bad refused to ban the one-piece
bathing suit. But the churches refused
to heed the reformers and have held
their usual picnics there during the
summer.
I am doing my best to enforce this

Railroad Brotherhood Leaders
Ask Conference With Hard

Hope for settlement of the railroad
and coal strikes grew brighter today.
President Harding met representa
tives of the striking shopmen In a
conference this morning and will meet
representatives of three railroad broth
erhoods later in the day. These ses
sions may lead to a general confer
ence with leaders of the strikers and
the executives at which a new peace
plan will be brought up.
Efforts of the coal operators of Illi
nois to negotiate a separate peace with
the miners of that state seemed
doomed to failure. Frank Farrington.
president of the Illinois miners, said
no action would be taken on the pro
posals until after Monday's meeting
in Cleveland between spokesmen of
the strikers and the operators at
which efforts will be made to agree
on a settlement of the whole contro
versy. Washington, Aug. 5. (U. P.)
Threat of absolute paralyzation of the
country hangs over the railroad strike
situation, administration officials ad
mitted today after thorough study of
the telegram of the chiefs of the big
four railroad brotherhoods, asking for
a conference with President Harding.
Disturbing significance was attached
to the following paragraph of the tele
gram :
"We fear that a -continuation of these
conditions will inevitably result in
our members, as a matter of self pro
tection, being drawn into the contro
versy and we greatly deplore such a
contingency."
"These conditions include the danger
to the safety of brotherhood members
through' deterioration of locomotives.

This Is the explanation given this
morning by Mrs. R. G. McMullen for
the disappearance from his office early
this week of R. G. McMullen, her hus
band, who is chief of the bureau of
maintenance at the city hall. Mc
Mullen failed to appear for work
Wednesday morning and sent no word
as to where he was or what he was
doing.
He was suspended for 30 days by
City Engineer Laurgaard, by an order
Issued Friday, on the ground that Mc
Mullen had got "peeved" over things
on previous occasions and stayed away
from work for a day or two. and this
was probably what was wrong with
him on this occasion.
But today Radford P. Shawcross, as
sistant to Commissioner Barbur, re
ported that he met McMullen on the
street and McMullen showed him a
bump on his head that he said had
been given him by robbers. i
Mrs. McMullen said that last Tues
day evening her husband was riding in
the Lents district near Foster road
when two men hailed him and asked
for a ride. He. took them in. After
they had ridden a short distance he
was struck over the head and left un
conscious. Mrs. McMullen was Indefinite as to
why a report had not been made to
the authorities and as to why her hus
band had not let the office know the
situation.
Laurgaard suspended McMullen so
the substitute could get out the month
ly reports and other pressing business
that is due.

take in the next 2 hours over the
German note rejecting the new French
Indemnity demands.
The French note had threatened to
impose new penalties tonight unless
Germany consented to the demands.
The note asks France to postpone de-
cisive action against Germany until
the ether allied nations have had an
opportunity to come to a decision.
Furthermore, the note pointed out
that the time limit for the payment
of the next monthly indemnity Install
ment of 50.000,000 gold marks Is August
15 and not the 5th. The note disputes
the right of France to make reprisals
for tfc.-e failure of Germany to pay $10

French persons and French firms.

slender, charming and thoughtful. Miss
N'adajia Standoff, who was recently
appointed first secretary of the Bul
garian legation in Washington, seems
admirably fitted to make the experi

"Actually," she says, "there Is
nothing, new about woman's being In
diplomacy. They have always been
active in It. Tallyrand, for Instance,
said he could not work without a
woman's help. . The new thing Is in
making me the first woman secretary
of legation.
"It remains to be seen, of course.
whether the diplomatic status will add
anything to women's secular function
as mediators and promoters of jsthe
people's interests."
Miss ' Standoff remarked that she
was not as well equipped as she should
be for the , post she Is undertaking
noting that she spoke only -six lan

does her rather, who is Bulgarian min

Before appointing her to the Washing

of Two Votes for Governor ,
and Loss of Three, for Hall.
With 56 recounted out of the 135 pre- :
cincts in Multnomah county challen
ged by Senator Hall in'the Olcott-Hall
election contest, at 2:15 this afternoon.
Governor Olcott was one vote ahead
in Multnomah county and alx votes .
ahead In the state, over the figures -reported
in the official returns. ,
Shortly after the recounting; was
taken up afternoon today the Judges
came to precinct 78. When only part way
through the ballots, Olcott gained
two votes and Hall lost three, giving
Olcott a gain of five In all. ,
..Attorney U'Jten, representing Hall,
declared, however, that five 'unregls- i
tered Republicans in this, precinct
voted. ; i
BECOtST SPEEDED ,
At noon today Olcott Jtad regained a :
part of the lead he lost in the recount
of the 82 precincts Friday. The net
gain this morning in the gubernatorial
primary contest for Olcott was two, re- ;
ductng Senator Hall's lead In the state
to one and In Multnomah county to six.
Due- to a new system of oounting
the ballots, the rocunt was considerably :
speeded up his morning. , At - noon,
when the court presided , over by i
judges Bingham-and Kelly of Marion!
county adjourned, 23 additional pre
cincts had been checked, making . the
total recounted 64.
B17XPI.ES HOT SEALED... t
The ' changes noted this mornlncr
were a loss .of one vote for Hall, one
for Olcott and a-gain of -two for the
governor, making his net gain two. -This
almost wipes out the lead stab
lished by Senator Hall In the recount
of yesterday. -
. The changes were- in precincts 4i.;
where Olcott lost one vote; 51. whero.
the governor gained -on voe; in Ml.
where Hall lost one vote, and In 68,'
where Olcott gained an additional
vote. - 'I 'M!1
One of the .features of -the recount"
is that the changes recorded are small.
indicating- that the errors wers tin
merely to miscounting on the part of
the election boards. " It was also point
ed out that the .boards were careless
In sealing the boxes and ballots. Prac
tically, none , of the ballot bundles were
sealed with the- Official seal, hut the
majority of the ballot boxes bad been
well sealed. : ,
FAVOB ' OLCOTT ; j : ' -
Before the blanket charges of im
proper voting as filed Friday on beha.f
of Charles Hall In the gubernatorial
recount contest, are acted upon by the
court, the Hall forces must supply de
tails of .the specific charges against
each of the 300 persons named in the
complaint.
This decision was handedt down this
morning by Judges Bingham and Kelly
of the Marion county circuit court, who
are sitting In Portland to consider the
Multnomah county phases of the re
count. -1
Jay S. Bowerman, representing Gov
ernor Olcott In the recount, made the
motion, immediately after the list was
filed, that the contestant be required
to specify whether the alleged illegal -Voter
is a non-resident, an - alien or ,
otherwise fraudulent.
The judges, after considering .the mo- .
tlon, agreed with' the oontestee, specifying-
also that the-same .requirement,
be made if the Olcott forces should file
similar lists t of alleged. Illegal voters.
In the count Friday afternoon tbo
precincts in which changes were found
were : Precince 15, Hall gain 1, Olcott
gain 1; precinct 20, Hall lost 1, Olcott
lost 3; precinct 22. Hall gain 1: pre
