TROL OF
Lie MILL
Withdrawal Of Canadian
Interests By Mutual
Consent Leaves Full
Ownership Here.
The Oregon Linen Mills, Inc.,
will go ahead and construct its
phtnt regardless of withdrawal of
the Canadian Interests originally
connected with the plan, declares
It. O. Snelling, secretary-treasurer
of the company, to put at rest re
ports that the action on the part
of the Canadian in;eresls would
result In an abandonment of the
linen mill plan.
As a matter of fact men Inter
cetod in the mill are satisfied that
the mill plan is even more strongly
intrenched than ever, that ihc
withdrawal .of the Canadian inter
ests is a godsend to the industry as
It will permit of manufacture or
higher grade linens and keep the
control of the property at home.
Under the original Canadian plan
the mill was to be circumscribed
to the manufacture of the lower
counts, or coareor grades of linens
and disagreement over this led
somewhat to the mutual agree
ment between the Canadian inter
ests and local people to abandon
their initial plana.
Announcement ulso is mad
that the first shipment of machin
ery for the new mill will leave a
Brinish port within 90 days Insur
ing the mill's operation oy August
next.

Colonel K. M. House, for years
1' resident Wilson's confidant and
appointed by him a member of the
Versailles peace commission, is a
house guest of President Coolidge
at the White House.
The colonel arrived in Washing'
ion last night and went at once to
the executive mansion. Today he
visited Secretary Kellogg at the
state department.
His sudden appearance at a time
when the president and secretary
of state are seeking advice on the
league of nations invitation to
take part in a disarmament meet
ins, caused a flutter in Washing
ton.
Under President Wilson'e ap
pointment, Colonel House was the
American member of the commit
tee, which drew up the league
covenant at Versailles, and though
the acquaintances then formed
has kept himself informed about
detai s of the league's operotious.
White House officials professed
Ignorance of any special signifi
cance which might attach to the
presence of tho colonel as the
guest of Mr. Coolidge and the
state department declined to dis
close what had been discussed with
Secretary Kellogg.
President CooPdge also sum
moned to the Whito House today
Senator Underwood of Alabama,

After his talk with Colonel
House, Seevotary Kellogg went to

THIRD PARTY
E
Bismark, N. D., Dec. 19 (AP)
A third party movement In
North Dakota In preparation for
the 1920 political campaign was
started hero last night with the
formation of the farmer-labor
party of this state.
The organization was regard
ed as a skeleton affair with its
finale definite status prohably not
being decided until next Febru
ary. Those who sponsored the
third party idea are members of
the non-partisan league. The lea
gue Itself was not behind the
plan.
Those who attended the meet
ing here adopted state and nation
al platforms for the farmer-labor
party, which they hope to'put on
a solid national footing. They
prepared to launch a' ticket for
tho senate elections next year.
The national platform demands
that the federal government give
the same consideration to agricul
tural Interests that It bas given to
the railroads and other corpora
tions. Tho interstate commerce com
mission was urged to reduce to
pre-war levels the present freight
rates on agricultural products.

iet Russia will accept the league
of nations invitation to participate
1 nthe international disarmament
conference as well as the world
economic conference.
"While we are still skeptical of
the European nations real desire
for disarmament," said a high of
ficial of the government to The
Associated Press today, "wo are
willing- to make another effort to
establish general peace and econo
mic cooperation among mankind
"With this end In view we are
ready to put before the conference

Izvestla, the government news

Soviet Russia will gladly join In
such conferences, it cannot do so
if the discussions are held In Switz
erland, which the bolsheviks have
boycotted ever since the assassina
tion of Vaslav Vorovsky at Laus

The paper thinks the very fact
that the invitation was. extended
to Russia by the league is an adrioi
move In a diplomatic game carried
on by British diplomatists "undei
the camouflage of ratification," ad
ding that the allien were fully
aware of Hie Soviet's negative at

TD ISSUE PARDON
Washington, Dec. 19 AP) The
Mitchell court-martial case came
to tho floor of the house for the
first tinfe today when Represen
tative Tillman, democrat, Arkansas
charged that the court was organ
ized to "et the colonel," and that
its verdict "Insults free America."
"I call upon the grantto-faced
and granile-souled president of this
justice-loving nation,' ho said, "to
mitigate or quah harsh sentence."
The court's edict, suspending the
air officer from rank and pay for
Ifcve years because of his attack
on government aviation policies,
Mr. Tillman continued, was shame
less, unusual and cruel.
"They sought to affix a gag,' he
said "and at the same time Jmpov
erfsh him and his family. It seems
th..t In this trial the usual military
procedure was not allowed to take
its ordinary course."
While Mr. Tillman (correct) was
speaking. Representative Black,
democrat. New York, Introduced
a resolution seeking to place con
gress on record as favoring reten
tion of rank for Colonel Mitchell
The resolution said that If the ver
dict of the court-martial were al

- To prevent duplication of Christmas relief work in

of those children or families to Fred Erixon, phone 618.
With, only $135.35 subscribed to the fund of the annual
Christmas Cheer movement of the Capital Journal and the
Salem Lodge of Elks up to 1 o 'clock this afternoon the com
mittee in charge was seriously considering the probability of
having to curtail its plans for providing a Merry Christmas
for all of the unfortunate children of the city those whom
faanta may forget.
Urgent and immediate needs of
boys and girls in distress are rap
idly depleting the funds In the
hands of the committee, and ways
and means of providing the toys,
the candy nnd nuts, the books and
the other little gifts that put the

ure; People Don't Want
To Be Dry
Washington, Dec. 19. (A.P.)
The Volstead act was assailed In
tho house today by Representative
Vure, republiun of Pensylvania, m
an unenforceable law.
''The people don't want to be
bone dry," he said.
States and the federal govern
ment have spent millions trying to
enforce the law and now admit
failure." ,
The increasing consumption of
bootleg liquor, he said, proved that
tile dry law was breaking down nil
law enforcement. Ho advocnted
legalizing 2.75 per cent beer.
A Vicious Svstcra.
Another attack on the dry re
gime was delivered by Representa
tive Gain van, democrat. Massa
chusetts, who denounced Way no
is. Whoeler and the Autl-Saloou
League ae the backbone of a "vici
ous system which Is destroying the
soul and cpnsclence of America."
"Thero are certain organiza
tions, some of which have the au
dacity to characterize themselves
as 'churches and branches of tbe
Christian religion," said Mr. Gulli
vuu. "As a matter of fact, we
learu that they are merely noisy
aggregations of greedy bigole with
ecclesiastical titles.
"Thcsj political and qtiusi
roligious organizations scoff at the
holy scriptures; they preach to
their credulous and ignorant ra li
able followers that the miracle that
changed water into wine was a
crime; and they believe they can
repeat the miracle of the loaves
and fishes by capturing the treas
ury of the country.
Duncintr Dervishes.
"These dancing Dorvishes of tho
American branch of Mohamet's re
ligion constitute the vociferous
army of prohibition shock troops."
Wheeler, he said, could now rise
in his place, "and say, witli one of
our Lord Castleragh's devoted dis
ciples 'thank. God, I have a country
to buy und sell!' "
Concluding his speech, Repre
sentative Gnllivan told the house a
dry member had threatened him In
tho cloak room today that If ho
made the speech he would not be
returned to congress.
"Well, 1 have made It," he said,
"and 1 challenge Wayne Wheclor
