VICTIMS STILL
Astoria, Ore., May 30. Crews
today were to rescue work for the
recovery of the two bodies left in
the wreck of the steamer Welsh
Prince, sunk ten miles above here
in the Columbia river as a result
of a collision Sunday night with
the steamer Iowan. The bodies
were located late yesterday after
five others had been recovered but
a rising tide forced workmen who
had been operating with acete
lyene torches cutting steel girders
and plates, to suspend their ef
forts.
Jimmy Burns Hero
Survivors of the Welsh Prince,
brought here yesterday related a
tale of heroism with Jimmy Burns,
member of the engine crew, las the
hero. They said he braved almost
certain death twice during the few
brief moments after the vessels
crashed together that he might
feel his way down through a peril
ous trial of twisted iron and steel
to rescue two of his fellows, who
lay injured and helpless In the
forward sleeping quarters of the
crew.
Burns was asleep when the
crash came. He was one of the
first. to work his way out of the
wrecked quarters to the main
deck But only for an Instant did
he remain above. "There's two
more down below that I hear
shouting for help," he told one of
the surviving oilers. And then he
turned Mack toward that dark hole
from which he had Just emerged
A huge iron ventilator cap
which had been torn from-its
fastenings barred the way. He
shoved this aside and made his
way down through the ventilator
shaft into the wreckage. First he
picked up James Morgan, a fire.

up through the wreckage to the
deck above. . Again he went down
and rescued P. K. Holm, also a
fireman. Burns went back a third
time and lifted up clothing and
other personal belongings of the
men.
Three Injured men were re
covering at a hospital here today
and 14 members of the crew of
the Welsh Prince were here awlalt-

N
C E. Gates of Medford was
last night notified by Governor
Olcott of his removal as a member
of the state fair board, effective
June 1. The removal, the governor
explains in a letter to Gates, is
made for the "good of the ser
vice." Further than this Governor Ol
cott refused, to comment on his
action In removing Gates who
wa.s appointed to the (air board j
shortly before the state fair last
fall.
Speculation here, however, has
it that the removal of Gates, who
is said to toe an active Ku Klux
Klansman, signalizes a general
housecleanlng which may be ex,
pected to include all Klansmen
who might be found within the
ranks of the official family.
The name of Gates has been
prominently mentioned as an In
dependent candidate for govern
or in the November contest with
the backing of the K. K. K. Gates,
it is understood, sought the en
dorsement of the Federated So
cieties for his candidacy and only
withdrew from the gubernatorial
race when this endorsement was
not forthcoming.
The letter of the governor to
Gates reads as follows:
"This Is to advise you that you
are removed as a member of the
state fair board of fair directors,
such removal to become effective
June 1, 1922. This action is taken
under the provisions of section
4043, Oregon laws, for the good
of the service."
The governor stated this after
noon that ne nas anomer man m
mind for the post and that the
announcement of his appointment
could be expected within a few
days.
STATE RATES TO

That the Oregon public service
commission can be expected to
follow the lead set by ths Inter
state commerce commission In Its
horizontal reduction of freight
rates, was the intimation given by
Fred A. Williams, chairman of the
Oregon commission today, upon
receipt of a copy or the Interstate
commerce commission order.
Inasmuch as the state commis
sion followed the lead of the in
terstate body when rates were on
the upgrade it is only reasonable
to expect that intrastate rates will
follow Interstate rates downward
now that the situation has been
reversed, according to Williams. J

EMANCIPATION
IS SECONDARY
"Maintained Unity,, and
Nationality" Supreme
In Nation's History
Chief Eecutive Holds.
Washington, May 30 " Main
tained union and nationality"
rather than "emancipation" was
declared to be the supreme chap
ter In American history by Pres
ident Harding in an address today
accepting the Lincoln memorial In
behalf of the American people.
Lincoln would have compromised
with slavery, Mr. Harding de
clared, while cleaving to his great
purpose maintenance of the " in--.
herltance handed down by the
founding (athers."
Declaring that the now memor
ial was (itttngly placed near the
towering Bplre ot the Washington
monument, Mr. Harding said that
"Washington, the founder and
Lincoln, the Bavlor" offered out
standing proof tfcfct a representa
tive popular government, constitu
tionally founded, can find Us own
way to salvation and accomplish
ment." The president spojte as follows:
Memorial Is Tribute 1
"It Is a supreme satisfaction of
ficially to accept on behalf of the
government thlB superb monument
to the savior of the republic. No
official duty could be more wel
come, no offlc'lil function more
pleasing. This memorial edifice Is
a noble tribute, gratefully be
stowed, and in Its offering is the
revent heart of America; In Its
dedication is the consciousness ot
reverence and gratitude beautiful
ly expressed.
"Some how my emotions Incline
me to speak simply as a reverent
and grateful American rather than
one in offlc'nl responsibility. I
am thus Inclined because the true
measure of Lincoln Is In his place
today In the heart of American
citizenship, though near half a
century has passed slnve his col
lossal service and his martyrdom.
In every moment of peril, In every
hour of discouragement whenever
the clouds gather, there 1b the
1 nage of Lincoln to rivet our hopes
and to renew our fiith. Whenever
there Is a glow of triumph over
national achievement, there comes
the reminder that but for Lin
coln's heroic and unalterable faith
In the union, these triumphs could
not have been.
Greatness Recognized
"No great character In all his.
tory has been more eulogized, no
rugged figure no more monu
mental, no likeness more por
ti.iycd. Painters and sculptors
portray as they see, and no two
see precisely alike. So too, Is
there varied emphasis In the por
traiture of words, but all are
agreed about the rugged greatness
and the surpassing tenderness and
unfailing wisdom of this master
martyr.
"History Is concerned with the
things accomplished. Blogiliphy
deals with the methods and the In
dividual attributes which led to
accomplishment.
Emancipation But Means
"The supreme chapter in his
tory is not emancipation, though
that achievement would have ex
alted Lincoln throughout all the
ages. The simple truth Is that
Lincoln recognizing an established
order, would have compromised
with the slavery that existed, It
he could have halted Us exten
sion. Hating human slavery as
he did, he doubtless believed in
Its ultimate abolition through the
developing conscience of the
American people but he would
have been the last man In the re
public to isort to arms to effect
Its abolition. Emancipation v-fcis a
means to the great end main
tained union and nationality.
Here was the great purpose, here
the lowering hope, here the su
preme faith. He treasured the in
heritance handed down by the
founding fathers, the ark of the
covenant wrought through their
heroic Sacrifices and builded In
their inspired genius. The union
must be preserved. It was the
central thought, the unaltered
purpose, the unyielding intent, the
foundation of faith. It was worth
every sacrifice, justified every
cost, steeled the heart to sanction
every crimsoned tide of blood.
Here was the great experiment-
popular government and constitu
tional menaced by greed expres
sion In human chattels. With the
greed restricted and unthreaten
ing, he could temporize. When It
challenged federal authority and
threatened the union, it pro
nounced its own doom. In the
