Washington, May 21. A loan of at

000 revolving fund to enable railroads
to purchase equipment required to
meet transportation needs of the pub

The commission in a few hours has
taken three other important steps to
ward breaking the freight congestion.
Tthese were orders for:
Forwarding of traffic without refer

of all railroad rules governing car serv
ice; transfer of 32,000 coal cars from
west to east and of 20,000 box cars
from east to grain fields of the west.

Funeral Flowers
Refused By Rich
The funeral of W. Moses, a former
employe of the Spaulding mill was
held Thursday, funeral expenses being
provided by a collection taken up
among his former associates. Mrs.
Moses, who is also ill, was left penni
less, without funds or relatives save in
the far east and Red Cross requests
contributions for her assistance sent to
Mrs. Iodd of the relief bureau.
The case' brought out the lack of
charity among Some of Salem's well-to-do,
who are asked by the nurse who
donated her services, to contribute a
few flowers from their gardens for the
funeral and brusquely refused. One
wealhty woman with hundreds of
blooming tulips, refused to give a
blossom and slammed the door in the
face of the solicitor. The flowers, like
the contributions, came from those less
well off in worldly goods.

Price Cutting
Fever Reaches
Wholesalers
New York, May 21. The price cut
ting movement here today reached
some wholesalers, when managers and
buyers of prominent department stores
announced they would refuse to pur.
chase from Jobbers until substantial
'reductions were made. The depart
ment stores, which claim to offer re
ductions of from 15 to 60 per cent now
demand that wholesalers make con
cessions to them.
Food Prices Drop.
Some wholesalers of wearing appar
el declared they believed the price cut
ting movement to be artificial and un
economic, asserting that It has stimu
lated buying without a corresponding
Increase in production, and a reaction
was baind-to eofie.
The first reduction in food was an
nounced yesterday when one of V-i
largest cabarets and restaurants in tlu
city stated It had had all items on Its
menu reduced 30 per cent.
Boycott Effective.
Washington, May 21. The wave of
price reduction in wearing apparel
which has spread to every important
city is due largely to public withdrawal
from the market and to the investiga
tion conducted by the department of
Justice, in the opinion of Assistant At

served too much of the cred!'., '

Mexican Revolutionists
Must Satisfy Villa Before
Securing His Retirement
In Camp With General Villa, Boquillas, Chihuahua, May 19. -(Via
El Paso, Texas, May 21) (By The Associated Press) Fran-
cisco Villa, variously described as a revolutionist, patriot and ban-
dit, is yet a factor in Mexican affairs, as ready and willing to take
the field against the newest revolutionary forces as he was against
Carranza, he told the Associated Press here today.
Villa, the man who drew the Amer-
lean army under General Pershing in
close pursuit ot him .after the raid on
Columbus, N. M., in 1916 when Vlllle
tas raided that bordertown, declared
the successor of Carransa must fullest
satisfy his Ideals of government before
he would retire to private life and quit
the life of a "Robin Hood."
Obregon Disliked.
Villa does not like General Alvaro
Obregon, candidate for the presidency
of Mexico, who apparently has become
the "man of the hour" In Mexico
through the country's new revolution.
Obregon Is the Mexican leader who
first decisively defeated Villa. This
fight occurred at Celaya, Obregon then
whs leading Carranza troops against
Villa and later became minister of war
in the Carranza cabinet.
Villa would not make public the
guarantees he demands from the new
government except politicians must be
kept from ruling Mexico.
Grieves for Angeles,
Villa's greatest emotional period was
during questioning concerning General
Felipe Angeles, who was executed by
Cararnza forces at Chihuahua in No
vember last for rebellion against the
government. Tears came to Villa's
eyes as he discussed Angeles and con
demned the men who ordered him ex
ecuted. "Angeles Is the man Mexico should
have now, he said.
Villa declared Carransa officials
prevailed on American officials at El
Paso ln June last to cross the Rio
Grande and drive him from his attack
on the city, which he was about to take
In oompany with Angeles.
Conference Fruitless.
Chihuahua' City, Mexico, May 20.
Via El Phsq, May 21 General P. Ellas
Calles, minister ot war for the new
revolutionary government left here, to
night for Torreon for Mexico City aft
er a conference with envoys from Gen
eral Francisco Villa.
The conference, It was understood,
did not result in the acceptance of con
ditions laid down by Villa whereby he
would retire to private life.
Elimination of Villa as a military or
bandit factor In the immodlate future
because of the conference, is believed
unlikely. However, revolutionists an
nounced means for his elimination
were being considered.

having exceeded Us powers ln going

The secretary appeared to undergo

Emergency Fund
Appropriations
Will he Asked
The state emeregncy board will be
called upon within the next month to
consider a deficiency appropriation to
care for claims accruing against tha
state under the provisions of the sol
diers' educational aid act, according to
Governor Olcott. While no call has
yet been Issued for a meotlng of the
board the governor states that condi
tions now obtaining muke a session ot
the board imperative and expects that.
the call will be issued within the next1
few days. ' The fund so far authorised
by the state legislature for the admin
istration of this act, including approxi
mately $200,000 raised under the mlll
age tax provided by the 1919 session -and
the $250,000 appropriated by the,'
special session last January Is already
exhausted, according to the records of
the secretary of state's office which
shows a total of $16,000 in claims un
paid for want of funds.
Even If the mllluge measure on to
day's ballot for the relief of this fund
shall be passed ,a Is freely predicted,
the money will not be available until
next January and It will be necessary
for the emergency board to authorsw
a deficiency to tide over the fund until
that time It Is explained.
It Is also expected that the board
will be called upon to take some ac
tion toward the authorization of a de
ficiency fund to meet the state's share
of the expense toward the maintenance
ot the proposed aerial forest patrol,
which, it is estimated will require ap
proximately ten thousand dollars.
Should the federal appropriation, now
pending before congress, be authorized -the
state's share ot aerial patrol ex
pense will be materially reduced, it Is
explained by State Forester Elliott '
It Is also understood that a deficien
cy appropriation Will also be ought for
the Oregon social hygiene society and
It is probable thut one or more state
Institutions whose funds are now prac
tically exhausted will also ask for ad
ditional aid at the forthcoming session
of the emergency board.
