xiVoponal Made Cuba ,
. Mt. Harrison i said the letter
proposed a reduction in the! duty
on Cnban'raw sugar it Cuban pro
ducers .would curtail their I crop
this year to 2,500.000 tons, j Sen
ator Sinopt told the senata he had
written a letter but not such a
letter as that described. Senator
Harrison also read what purport
ed to be an agreement by certain
interest! concerned In the impor
tation. of. Cuban sugar, who were
to accumulate a fond of xh.000,
000 to be contributed by members
on the basis of one-fourth, of .a
cent a pound ori sugar from Cuba
this sunt to be paid to the.Amerl
can producers of cane; and beet
sugar upon some arrangement in
volving the fixing' of the duty on
Cuban-sugar in the pending bill.
Syndicate Signs leter,'
The' Mississippi senator said
this alleged agreement .was drawn
after Cuban producers had refused
to enter into an 'arrangement-to
, curtail their crop. 4 The paper was
signed, be added, by the Cuban
Sugar, Producers Agreement: Syn
dicate. Inc.. by Alfred Grover. di
rector. and that the headquarters
IKE OREGON. STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON
were given as New York City.
Inquiry was made as to the ident
ity: of Mr. Grorer and 'afterva
cross fire of debate Senator Har
rison said - he would propose a
senate investigation, both ; as to
the alleged syndicate and the re
ported - efforts of government of
ficials to bring about a reduction
of the Cuban crop in return ofr re
duced tariff duties . Later he in
troduced such a resolution and
asked for immediate considera
tion, but Senator xLodge of Massa
chnsetts, the Republican leader,
objected, saying there was not
time today to discuss it.
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.
When was a blacker page ever
written in the legislative history
of this country?" asked the Mis
sissippi senator. "When was a
more inexcusable proposal made
to. another-country with which we
were on friendly terms?"
Senator Smoot told the senate
that he would read his letter to
General Crpwder later and would
show whether there is "an agree
ment on my part or on the part of
General Crowder as to what we
would do or what congress would
do. I had no power to do it.
Referring to the alleged syndi
cate agreement. Senator Smoot
said he hoped he never -would

Takes Exception to Article
In Newspaper
H. H. Vandevort, member of
the city council, takes exception
to an article in the Statesman of
yesterday in which he was refer
red to, though not by; name, as
having said in a council meeting
when, the Dr. A. -JEt.', Andrews af
fair was under discussion, that
the doctor had been "Jn a helpless
state of. Intoxication." ;- 4
Mr. Vandevort declares that Tie
never said Dr. Andrews.was 4ntx.
"I did say that he. was arrest
ed," explains Mr. Vandevort, ''He
told me himself that he was hand
cuffed and locked up.. ThS,' it
seems' to me was , an arrest,
though Chief Moffitt says he was
not errested. What I objected to
was that he was not required to
make an appearance in the-city
court as others similarly taken
by the police are required to do."
Mr. Vandevort said he believed
the Statesman article of yester
day might he n reflection on his
reputation Tor veracity in the
community. - ' r

Silverton Wheat Crop
Makes Good Showing
SILVERTON, Ore.. Aug. 5.
(Special to The Statesman.) In
spite of the early predictions that
the grain crop should be excep
tionally slim this year Silverton
farmers who have their threshing
done say that the crop is turning
out as well as last-year in most
instances. The spring sown grain
is giving a very good yield but the
dryness has kept the straw from
growing and in many places is
so short that harvesting has . be
come difficult. The wheat aver
age per acre is reported as being
about 35. bushels.. One man 're
ports a yield of 45 bushels per
acre of a nine-acre field. The
oat crop is reported. as being be
tween 55 and 70 bushels an acre.

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.

Twelve Grade Crossings
; Eliminated by Officials
The public service commission
yesterday issued ag order closing
and abandoning 12 open, public
grade crossings on the Heppner
branch of the" Oregon-Washington
Railroad & Navigation com
pany lines in Morrow county. The
order, follows an investigation that
was held at Heppner' on July 12
on application.; of. the railroad
company to rearrange its cross
ings on the Heppner branch.
Moatiof the-crossings affected
are oja , the Oregon-Washington
highway serving the district be
tween Arlington and Heppner,
wherethe traffic has been heavy
for several years. Of the 12
crossings closed eight are- elimi
nated entirely, three others are to
be protected by gates and allowed

one will be used as a private cross
ing.
Besides the 12 crossings closed,
another known as McNab cross
ing fwlll be reconstructed and
made safer and another in the
town of Morgan will be relocated

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.

Some Instructors Forget to
Return Books and Levy
Is Assessed
The county school superinten
dent's office has one source of
revenue that Isn't down ' In' the
books the collection of fines
from school teachers who hotto
books there and do not return
them at the appointed time; ' '"
The state school law, in giving
cut teaching diplomas, requires
thai all teachers in second and
third ' class districts " shall tils
with either the state university
or O. A. C. an annual book review
of some educational publication.
A , list of prescribed volumes Is
published, and the teacher has
choice of the one to be studied
and reviewed. ,
The county superintendent
keeps one copyof each of these
books, or at least of the more
important volumes, and they are
loanable to the teachers of the
county, Howeverj there are 400
teachers, and If 40 teachers are
to read 15 books in turn, they'll
have to hurry. So a limit of
three weeks has been fixed?aa the
time one of these volumes" may
remain in one teacher's hands. Al
ter that a stiff fine of 25 cents a
week, is imposed.! Every year
there are a tew forgetters who
have to contribute i to this me
morial. The total revenues from
this source amount o several dol
lars a year. From this f and new
books are bought to replace the
older ones: the office buys foun
tain pet ink and other supplies,
and the "kitty" b seldom broke
for long at a time.! ,
No teacher can (draw his or her
money from the treasury without
having filed the evidence of meet
ing this book review demand, so
the! office has a i good deal jot s
lead-pipe: cinch on getting action
on itho volumes, j One good! f or-
getter paid a fine ot 1.I5 for
