Hoover Pays Respects to
Senators Making Charges
Against Thfc Work
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 By U. P.
Food Administrator Hoover has
toen asked hy ral-le to save the. $100.
iXXi.000 fami.ie furd from difeat at
the hands of the United Stutes senate.
Administration senators are anx
iously awaiting Hoover'a cable denial
of Senator llorah'a charges that he
arranged with American packers to
that they were able to dispose of a
vast surplus atock of pork and other
meats at hih prices by creating a
new market in Europe.
The 'famine fund' will probably be
passed even without Hoover's denial.
Hut administration leaders are admit
tedly worried over the tremendous op
position which has evolved.
PARIS, Jan. 23. Herbert Hoover
flatly denied the charge that he work
ed in the interests of the American
packers. He said:
"I apparently emerge in a new lijrht,
as the friend of the Chicago packers.
At the same time the mail brings the
report from Swift & Company,- blam
ing the food administration for reduc
ing their profits ten millions in the
last year.
"I don't imagine the packers wouli
appreciate a very wide circle of such
friends.' "

6.000 OREGON LABORERS
SEEK EMPLOYMENT. IS
WORD OF FEDERAL AGENT
PORTLAND. Jan. 23. U. P. The
busiest place in Oregon is the office
of the U. S. employment service, which
is presided over by Wilfred F. Smith,
federal director, who declared today
that there are 6,000 men out of em
ployment in Oregon today.
The federal employment service has
launched a campaign for the seeking
f ways and means thru which the re
turning soldier and sailor may im
mediately fnll into a position upon
reaching home, and has established in
every county a soldiers' and sailors'
hureau.
Agents cooperating are the state of
Oregon, the Red Cross and others.
Until the first of 1919 there was no
unemployment problem. Prior to thnt
time the tide was the other way. But
reports daily indicate the trend toward
an unemployment situation. Five
thousand blanks were sent to employ
ers asking information as to the num
ber of men employed, wages paid,
clnss of work, if more men could be
employed, etc.
While the service is making a spe
cial effort to place the returning sol
dier and sailor, it has not relaxed Its
efforts in the interest of the mechanic,
the farm hand or the common laborer.
To care for the soldier employment
scheme a separate division has been
set up at Liberty Temple with Captain
James O. Convill in charge. Figures
show thnt of the 650 discharged sol-
! diers calling at the of fli In the past
.week, 350 were placed. Many of the
others did not register for work.
Fifteen hundred men have appeared
daily during the past week. Only
1835 registered for employment in
that period. Seventy-four per cent of
these were given work.
1 hat the college board of tha First
Presbyterian church will no longer
withheld its annual appropriation for
the tut'port of Alhany college and will
hereafter give the local school a full
rr.easuie of support, was the word re-
cived todny by Rev. A. M. Williams.
Moreover, another letter was received
from Rev. Edgar P. Hill, now secre
tary of the board, in which he not only
expressed In no uncertain terms his
n. .ef that the college is worthy of
support, but pledged his influence in
building up a greater college in Al
bany.
The action of the board mean that
the annual appropriation of $2,000
will be available hereafter and that
the college will have the moral and
financial support of the general board
of education.
Rev. Williams also announced that
the sum of $2110 from the Hill trust
fund, created for the benefit of Al
hany college, waa received yesterday.
The college authorities will receive ap
proximately the same sum front the
Hill fund each year.

PARIS ON LADDERS
PARIS, Jan. 23. The Avenue du
Bois de Boulogne should have its name
changed to Avenue du Bois des Step-
ladders.
Since the signing of the armistice
raris has become the mecca of all al
lied kings, presidents, princes, minis-
ters. generals and other dignitaries.
Paris, to show fitting gratitude of the
honor conferred upon her by these
visitors meets them at the little rail
way station at the far end of the Ave
nue du Bois de Boulogne, escorts them
with full military honors up the ave
nue to the Arch of Triumph, and then
under this and down the Champs Ely
sees.
Cordons of soldiers line both sides
of the avenue and their hedge of fixed
bayonets as they stand at salute na
turally obstructs the view, to say noth
ing of the fact that back of the sol
diers the crowds are massed for
depth of 50 to 100 feet.
Everyone who possesses a steplad-
der, or who can buy one or borrow one
brings it. hours in advance, to the
wonderful Avenue du Bois de Boul
ogne and plants it at a vantage point
where in spite of surging throngs and
elevated bayonets, they will be able to
see the cortege.
Then, once the cortege Is passed,
the proud owners of the thousand of
stepladders, endeavor, like the Arabs,
to fold them and silently steal awuy
hut they don't get away with the silent
part.

people with a thousand atepladdera 1:

NEW CITY ATTORNEY
W. A- Eastburn Named Fire
Chief: D. E. Nebergall
Makes Proposition
Owing to the serious conditio of
the flu epidemic in Harrisburf knot
other villages and town In Linn eouav
ty, the city council at Its regular meet-
ng last night concluded that it would
be the part of wisdom to retain the
ban on public meetings until all dan
ger is past. It was pointed out by the
mayor that the death rata Id Albany
had been lower than in almost any oth
er city in the state and that tha con
ditions bera ara now in ar'h food
shape tha'. in hit judgment it would
hardly be safe to take any chances aa
to further spread of the disease. Ha
asked, uo vrur, for the judgment of
the me-n' r. ot the council, and said
jtl he would idly upon their Judg
ment in the matter. It waa ananj-
oi a'y agreed that it would be unwise
tn lift the ban at this time. The au-
horities bt Poitrud were roundly
scored for their t. :ure to talte proper
pnvautiora in rvgird to preventine;
he unread of the disease and it was
asserted y one o' the councilmen that

City Attorney Named
The council last night named At-
nrney Dan Johnston as city attorney
with a .provision, that the salary shall
hereafter be $25 per month. Hia pre
decessor heretofore received the sum
of $45.
The election of W. A. Eastburn for
fire chief was also confirmed by the
unanimous vote of the council.
Citiiena Ask Relief
Through City Attorney Lewelling,
nroperty owners who have suffered aa
a result of water in their basements
which they claim is due to a defective
lewer system, appealed to the council
for some relief. It was asserted that
the sewers in some sections of the city
are not large enough to carry off the
surface water. There is some talk of
appealing to the courts unless the sit-
lation is remedied. The prospect waa
referred to the committee on streets
and public property.
The ways and means committee was
authorized to install a lin'st at the cor
ner of Fourth and Main streets and
the committee on streets and public
property was authorized to inspect
the old Cannery building on Santiam
Road with the object in view of de
claring the property a nuisance.
Would Cut Jangle
D. E. Nebergall appeared before the
council and stated that during the re
maining winter months he would be
glad to tum over the men employed
his packing plant to the city for
the purpose of clearing the jungle In
the east end of the city and thus elim
inating the camping place of the ho
boes who infest Albany every year.
The men would work at a nominal sal
ary and he asserted that there is al
most enough wood on the tract of land
to pay for clearing it up. The sug
gestion was referred to the proper
committee. Mr. Nebergall also In
vited the city officials to inspect hia
plant. He asserted that $300,000
worth of business was done there dur
ing the past year and that he expects
to do a half a million dollars' worth
during the next 12 months. The pack
ing plant is now able to take care of
all the hogs raised within a radius of
seven or eight miles' of Albany.
