Acting Governor T'.jUtner , Is being besieged by friends "and relatives of inmates of the state prison here, urging their release - on pardon or parole. " ' The ' hope for executive , clemency. .which always burns brightest in the breasts of the convicts and their friends and relatives at this time of year. Just before Christmas, has been considerably strengthened this year through the good fortune which has come to the nine men who have been permitted to leave the prison during the past week through the good graces of the acting governor. STATEMENT IS ISSUED Every mail brings its quota of peti tions and appeals for the relief of some prisoners and every day finds a number of people seeking an audience with the acting governor in the inter est of the release of some friend or relative "doing time" within the walls of file etate prison. Usually these peti tioners are women mothers, wives, sisters or sweethearts of the convicted men and the rejection of their tear ful prayers for clemency is not al ways an easy task. In order that no false hopes might be raised by his .release of the nine men who have gone out of the prison during the past two weeks, Ritner this afternoon issued a statement to the ef fect that io pardons have been issued, nor would any be issued by himself in the future, except upon the recom mendation of the sentencing judge, the prosecuting attorney or the etate parole board. ' , WARDEN IS PRAISED - Furthermore," lUtner added, "it will be necessary that the warden of the penitentiary vouch for the good conduct of the prisoner during his in- r. . . . - - ' ment giving it as his opinion that the prisoner under consideration for re- ji. lease would not be a menace to society f . if given his freedom." fc "I nave a great deal of confidence in the judgment and ability of Warden Lewis." Ritner said. "The Oregon state penitentiary was never in a bet ter condition than it is at present." . 1 I . ' 1 1 ,1 - " f " j r . ....

He so advised the navy depart ment today. , The Turkish rovernment notified Admiral Bristol that no two American warship could be is the same port at the seme time and that the move ments of every vessel, together with the number of the naval forces aboard, should be reported. ... In refusing to comply. Admiral Bris tol pointed out that the order was not based on any agreement reached at the Mudania conference. .

Bagged charcoal is consumed ex tensively in many large cities. Char coal briquets' are in demand as fuel. The dining car department of the Pennsylvania' railroad ' recently began to make useof briquets made-by the Stafford process. OTHER EFFORTS FAIL Cord and slab wood have been the accepted material used in making char coal and its by-prod ncls, but as small waste wood is, materially cheaper than either slab or cord wood the desir ability of utilizing it in carbonization c Derations has long been recognized. EiKht hundred applications have been made Rt various times at the. patent office by those who thought they had hit upon a process of carbonizing smail waste wood on a commercial scale. The failure of these efforts, up until the Stafford process was proved suc cessful, havt been due, in general, to heavy costs of installing and maintain ing the complicated mecnanical appli ances required. DOUGLAS FIR SUITABLE In the working out of the -Stafford process in the Pacific Northwest Doug las fir would be the most available species of wood. It occupies an inter mediate position between the hard woods and the soft or resinous woods, duch as the southern long leaf pine. Hardwoods give a high yield of wood alcohol and acetic acid, while the southern pine gives low yields Of alco hol and acid but a high yield of turpen tine oils and renins. Professor Stafford is a graduate of the University of Kansas. He joined the faculty of the University of Ore gon chemistry department in 1900 and two years later was made head of the department. Exchange Bureau of Community Chest Does Much Service The Christmas clearance bureau of the Confidential Exchange is proving itself of greater service to the com munity this year than ever before, more than 1000 inquiries having al ready been received.. This bureau of the exchange, which is a part of the Community Chest plan for efficiency. acts as a clearing house for all noli day giving either by organization or by individual, keeping a card index of all families reported to them, with just the particular thing that the per son reporting it proposes to give. Thus all families have a well rounded out Christmas, but duplication is avoid ed and the gifts are thus made to go farther. : The exchange does not provide gifts of any sort, nor does It "have a list of needy people to give out, but It will refer to agencies people having needy families.

German diplomatic circles here seem to believe that considerable difficulty of a political nature has yet to be overcome before a loan to Germany can be launched. They fear the French government will take a firm stand for what it calls France's free dom of action in regard to the ques-i tion of a Dossible . occupation . of the Ruhr.
