GERMAN PLOT TO
CORNER WOOL HIT
(Continued from page 1) ,
thousand 'dollars; actually did get
through to Germany early in the
war, he said. , , .
The.. war lasted longer than
Schwerdts, Schmidt and their asso
ciates expected and the British fleet
drew Its blockade cordon tightly.
Then the scheme developed Into the
one of boarding wool until after the
war. it is charged.
Mr. Becker said that wool estimat
ed to be worth $2,000,000 or f 8,
000.000 actually was. stored in
America. .Then came a wool short
age, prices went tip and the German
interests decided to sell because of
the profits possible. These profits
reached Germans In Germany as the
wool had been purchased to. their
account.
The British government had or
ganized a textile council, authorized
to act as consignee for all ahlpments
of British wool to this country. This
was Intended to make It certain that
no wool coming here from British
dominions fell into German hands
in America. When the United
States entered the war, America
loiped with England in the opera
tion of the textile, council, of which
A. M. Patterson of this city Is teb
head.
Another Name Used.
In order successfully to circum
vent the restrictions Imposed by the
textile council, Schwerdts. and his
associates were obliged to conceal
the fact that purchases contracted
elsewhere and onsigned to the tex
tile council were being made by Ger
man firms. ,

Becker's report to the -state depart
ment said. "McClement was unable
to obtain an import license and it
became necessary to have an Ameri

"You must take Into consideration

Three Shifts of Laborers Keep
Salem-Kings Evaporator
:v Going
The 1 O S call issned Saturday
night by Manager Jack Walker re
sulted in an oversubscription of la
bor at the Salem-Kings Products
company's plant yesterday morning,
when the wheels began to " turn
around for the first time in about
ten days, having been stopped for
the making of a few nectstary re
pairs before beginning on the gov
ernment order for 600 tons or de
hydrated potatoes.
Forty workers, on etich of ; the
three shifts, making !a tolal of. 12?
workers, are now engaged day and
night getting out the first of Uncle
Sam's order for potatoes to feed the
army, and as rapidly as the raw po
tatoes are aeuverea ai ine iwiorj
the help- will be increased if neces
sary. This;! to say nothlni? of the thrro
foremen and their assistant on each
shift, hopper men,' anl evaporator
tenders, necessary' to rut the upmli
through, while thi office one Is ,
busy making out tha r-port and gst '
tlnr ready for shlppintr directions.
There Is one thing Manager Walk
er rays he can congratulate hlm'l'
coe, and that Is when orders a re re
ceived to forward ca"S of products
for the government, they will have
precedence ovar all other traffic,
Just the same as fuel or troop trains,
Speaking of the contract yester
day. Manager McDanM of the Com
menial club, said , .
"I consider this the most luij or
tant deal Salem ever had. It vn
means more than the celebrated or
der for prunes. It will keep njor
people at work, and it means winter
as well as summer work. If the Salem-Kings
people get the contract
for onions, carrots and turnips which
they bid on there Is not telling where
the, business will end, and even this
order for dehydrated potatoes means,
la my opinion, the closing or a con
tract for our proposed starch fac
tory." '
F. W. Steusloff, n. C. Paulus. Jo
seph Albert, W. T. Jenks and other
whe were asked their opln'on of "tno
potato deal by the Sajem-Klngs Pro
ducts people, practically were of the
same opinion.

DRYBOCKTO BE
FINISHED SO Oil
Great Pearl Harbor Iaval
Station to Be Completed
By June
HONOLULU. Feb- 22. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.)
The great Pearl harbor naval station
drydock, which has been in proceKS
of oonHtrnctlon for several years,
will be completed by next June an-1
ready for use by the largest battle
ships next fall, according to an offi
cial statement by local navy auth
orities. No ceremony, it Is announc
ed, will mark the first opening and
closing, of the huge caisson gate for
the reception of the flrsf warship.
Originally It was Intended to have
the event observed by Impressive cer
emonies, but the war has upset all
that. -.
The work on the Pearl harbor na
val station began in 1900, when pre
liminary surveys were made for
deepening and widening the channel
from the open ea and for dredging
out 4h bar; at the entrance. This
work rfeo aired several years before
the actual construction was 'begun.
The drydock has had several seri
ous setbacks, the gravest of which
occurred several years ago and de
layed the work for more than a year.
At that time the entire bottom, of
the drydock blew up. ruining all
that ad bee done. The cause of
the disaster, engineers discovered,
was that the dredged out bottom
was softer than thev adjoining ter
rain and the pressure of the latter
caused the bottom to blow ip as If a
huge Tharre of dynamite; had been
exploded under It. I
After a long delay a new schemo
of construction was adapted. Instead
of pouring concrete on th bottom,
hnge concrete blocks were moulded.
These were floated out and let down
to the bottom, securely anchoring It.
The -Pearl harbor drydock is nig
enough to accommodate the largest
battleship afloat or projected. '
Cows to which the phonograph
was played while they were being
milked are said to have given several
Quarts of milk a day more than they
ever did before.
