Cabans Refuse. Senator Harrison charged that before Senator Smoot wrote to General Crowder, . Cuban produc ers, after negotiations,; had " re fused to curtail this fear's iop. He read from the last January number of the Economic Bulletin of Cuba, as to "- the negotiations. This stated that a curtailment of production had been "insisted on by the United States beet sugar interests and government officials of the United States." and Mr. Harrison asserted that a threat had been made that unless the crop was decreased, a tariff duty of 3 cents a pound might be im posed in place of the proposed 1.6 cents a pound. Also he declared, the Cuban producers were prom ised that if they would comply with the request, the 1.6 cents would be cut to 1.4 cents. Record Called Dark.

VICTIM SEEN BY BOTH SIDES Conference Between Union Officials and Federal Officers Watched NEW YORK, Aug. 5- Both sides in the rail controversy to day claimed! to see impending vic tory in the Conference of nation al officials of the engineers, train men, enginemen and 'firemens union and B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts, with federal exe cutives at Washington. The eastern strike committee interpreted the conference as proof that equipment of the rail roads was becoming so unservic eable as to justify engineers, fire men and trainmen in protesting that the lives of crews and pas sengers were being endangered by its continued use. Rail chiefs, as represented as Robert Binkerd, vice chairman of the Association of Railway Exe cutives, characterized the Wash ington situation as the working of ftrike psychology and labor poli tics. v Neither side predicted what would be the result of the con ference and both maintained they would continue unabated their separate efforts to bring the strike to an end strike leaders by "bringing the railroads to their knees" and rail chiefs by hiring new men until the power of the striking crafts is disintegrated. Several roads reported that the coal situation has become so seri ous as to almost overshadow the shop crafts strike.

Few Gun-Toters Now, Says Chief of Police Moffitt "There is less gun-totlng today than there has ever been in the history of Oregon," is the sub stance of ait interview with Chief of Police Moffitt. "We don't capture guns any more," he continued. "If the men who are usually brought into the station ever owned guns they have either disposed of them or hidden them out. We don't get a gun a year from the traveling or, even the home bad men. That is, from the usual arrests, outside ol the men for the.;big, open, crimes, where they weighed the conse quences an dexpected to be taken red-handed. "It used to be that the police could go out and round up an arm ful of guns almost any day that the travelers hit town. Now an officer could frisk a whole regi ment of the .traveling fraternity. 9 uu uiaj ue uwv Krt a. tuiigie saooi- 2lSj t te police Judges JAZZ WAGON SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 6, 1922 la the larger Citiee have been soaking tho' gus-totera for peni tentiary sentences as actual or potential criminals who ought to be pat permanently away, has dis couraged the habit.
