THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, TUESDAY, AUG. 15, 1916. IS El E ION 10 FLEE IN A QUOTEEMN THE EAST Says Prosperity Has Hit Ore gon Especially Stock and Wool Growers In a recent interview published by the Daily Trade Record of New York City, Senator C. P. Bishop is quoted as saying that woolens have reached the limit on their skyward journey and that the price will probably remain station ary until the close of the war. The Daily Trade Becord might be termed a paper of the highest authority among business men of the east and in its interview with Mr. Bishop, gave the article the preferred position in that issue. The interview in part is as follows: "The shortage of wool is greatly ex aggerated," said Mr. Bishop, and any future shortage will be in the finer grades. The woolen houses of Boston and vicinity are filled. The wool sup ply formerly received Trom Australia is now being supplied by South America. "South American wool is now being developed much as the western ranch man developed wool 20 years ago. It takes but a few years to bring about a treat change. Those using the very fine grades of wool will have to substi tute coarser grades, inis is tne propO' aition that wool product manufacturers Dave to face at present. "One of the items contributing large ly to the increased cost of woolens is the rate of transportation, mis ib Dut one of the many reasons why the end of the present war will find woolens on the decline. So long as the war con tinues, prices are not likely to decline. "Transportation costs have tended to raise prices in many lines. Bates from Houth America are very high. Bailroad embargoes and the general boosting of railroad rates are also Tesponsiblo for a certain amount of- increase in woolen prices. ' ' Speaking of conditions in the west, especially in the states of Oregon and Washington, Mr. Bishop said: "While 1914 and 1015 found business conditions rather below normal, pros pacts just now are exceedingly bright. East of the Cascade mountains, where wheat, wool and cattle raising are the principal occupations, the prosperity boom has been felt in all lines, although the boom has not been the abnormal one the east has known for the past year and a half. The wheat, wool and cattle men have been getting top notch prices and so it is only natural that conditions should be good. On the west of the mountains the lumber and shingle business is unusually big just now nnd therefore the whole section is enjoying a prosperity wave." GAMBLES ON ELECTION Chicago, Aug. . 15. . "Jimmy" O'Leary, Chicago's king gambler, has again switched his prices on the com ing presidential election. He says it is on account of the "increasing republi can sentiment." O'Leary 'a blackboard now quotes Hughes the favorite at 4 to 5 and Wil son on the short end at 6 to 5. Hii former quotation was even money. Socialist and prohibition candidates are quoted at 1,000 to 1. TWin 'f fnroef vnnr riftnds nn their vacation they will want to see a home paper. Pnone 81.

KAISER TALKS 10 (Ceiitlnued from Page One.) The neutral was about to leave Ber lin when he and other members of a special deputation were invited to tea with the kaiserin and the kaiser, who had just returned from the western front, the Berne dispatch said. The kaiser entered, wearing a German field uniform and after indulging in com monplaces about the weather, turned to a personal discussion of the war. Somewhat to the embarrassment of the neutral visitors, he suddenly put the question: "I suppose the British theory, that 1 was responsible for the war has got a hold on your own people." Before any of his guests could re ply, he added: "It is curious how this theory seems to fascinate my enemies. Yet the peo ple who accuse me of having caused the war are the very people who prev iously testified to the earnestness of mv desire for peace. "Why is it that you neutrals always talk about German militarism and never about Russian despotism, the French carving for revenge or English treachery!" Investigating Wheat Price Manipulation Chicago, Aug. 15. Investigation of wheat price maniplation on the Chicago board of trade continued today as Uni ted States District Attorney Charles Cline and assistants probed further.

William Cowan, agent here for five of the biggest millers in the country, called on Cline today. He gave Cline figures on milling costs. It was unof ficially stated following their confer ence that Cowan told Cline there was absolutely no economic reason for the big rise in wheat. BROWN LOST HIS SHOEB Attorney General George M.

Terrible Disclosures Made As to Methods of White Slayers New York, Aug. 15. One dollar a pound is the price actually paid in sev eral instances for immature young girls auctioned off by white slavers to proprietors of disorderly resorts in New York, Assistant District Attorney Smith, prosecuting the campaign against the vice trtuet, declared to day. From men and women now under ar rest and awaiting trial, Smith has ob tained the most amazing confessions of the workings of the white slave gang. Not only did they systematically sot about to obtain school girls for re sorts, but on east 22nd street, they maintained a house, where young girls, sometimes partly and sometimes com pletely disrobed, were sold to the highest bidder. "We learned today that in one in stance, agents for two disorderly houses got into a dispute over the value of a girl who had been put up for sale." said the assistant district attorney. " They finally agreed upon a price of a dollar a pound. After that it become a common practice to weigh all girls and announce their weight to bidders." Are Auctioned Nude. Information regarding the white slave auction was obtained after the arrest of Dubitz Zubler, alias David Parish and his wife, Kate Parish, in the 22nd street house. The district attorney's office is investigating reports that other similar places were maintained, It was recalled today that only a few months ago a minister's daughter was kidnaped and auctioned off nude be fore a gang in an Italian dance hall. The vice trust now under fire, did not by any means, confine its activi ties to New York, Smith said. Most of the cirls were obtained from poor families here. Some of them were kept in New York resorts, but others were shipped to Chicago and Western cities. The trust maintained representatives in several eastern towns. Tn one instance. Smith learned, tne earnings of a young girl in one resort totalled 302 for a week. She re ceived 122 of this amount, but was forced te nay 12.20 to the wnite siave auctioneer or "geschetor" and $2o for hnord The oronrictress of the resort received $151 in addition to the $25 for board.

BE Commercial Club Advises Courtesy Be Shown Itiner ant Autoists As near as can be estimated, there are from five to 20 tourist automobiles passing through Salem every day, many of which are from far eastern cities, while others are from nearer home. The occupants of each car that passes tn rough the city may become either a knocker or a booster to the town ac cording to the way they are received and the general impression they get of the city. The Salem Commercial club with these facts in mind have prepared the following statement: "A very important incident happen ed to one of our local councllmen, Mr. J. A. Mills, who with Mr. Baker, made an extended trip through Washington. In relating his trip Mr. Mills said, 'Probably the most pleasant incident in the whole trip was the way we were received in White Salmon, Wash. After arriving at this town we drove up to the curb and one of the business men came out, introduced himself, shook hands with us, and very cordially asked us if there was anything he could do for us. He informed us on a few of the ordinances of the city which would be to our interest, such as the speed laws and parking laws, gave us infor mation as to the leading roads nnd dis tances, showed us where we could eet our fishing licenses, and even went to far as to leave his business to assist us in securing same. We left White Sal mon, feeling that we had been more than repaid for our stopping there, and on the way back we went several miles out of our way in order to stay there over night, and probably invested con siderably more money with the merch ants there than we would have done if we had not received such cordial treat ment.' "The value of this incident should be apparent to every Salem merchant and the Commercial club urges that the citizens of Salem make it a point to meet travelers and to try to be of somo assistance to them. The Commercial club can give them information as to routes, mileage, ordinances, etc., and if anyone is in doubt as to the inform tion to be given travelers, we urge them to call the club phone, 302, and we will be glad to furnish them with same." TO Berlin, via wireless to Sayville, L. I., Aug. 15. German Zeppelins will pun ish England for her failure to punish the crew of the British steamer Bara long, who killed members of a German submarine crew after they had been made prisoners, it was officially an nounced here today. "in the future Zeppelins raiding English towns will have no considera tion for the lives of civilians other than that demanded by international law." (The wirelessed text indicates that this new policy has been carried out in Zeppelin raids recently.) The government today made known its position in transmitting to the reich stag a white hook on the Baialong case, containing the official German and Bri tish documents. The final report says: "The German government, replying to the declarations of the British gov ernment about the German memorand um of January 10, 1916, on the Baralong case, decided that on account of tht British government 'a revolting attitude, it was impossible to continue the nego tiations At the same time it announced that it would itself take reprisals cor responding to the provocation. Cannot Shoot Prisoners. "The German government ,of course, declined to retaliate for the crimes com mitted by British seamen by bringing similar reprisals for instance, shooting their war prisoners. But German air ships will have convinced the English people that Germany is able to atose for the cruelties perpetrated by the officers and crew of the Baralong. "If, formerly, the unavoidable dan ger for the civilian population was par ticularly considered when using German Zeppelins, for military purpose., such regards are no more reprisals in the face of the Baralong murder. (The tent as went by wireless is not clear at this point.) Since then the arm of the air ship has been used against England within the limits of the law o'f nations without any such regard. In every air ship that throws destructive bombs on London or otheT defended towns or such that contain establishments of military character, England shall remember the Baralong case." The British patrol ship Baraloag sank a German submarine in Angust, 1014. The submarine crew was raptured, but in a fight aboard the Baralong the ex act details of which are not known, the submariners were killed. According to stories from German sources they were kicked off the patrol boat into the wa ter or shot. According to a British re port, American muleteers, who had been rescued by the Baralong, after their ship had been submarined, killed the Germans. Germany demanded an explaaation of what she termed the "Baralong mur der." Great Britain countered with the proposal that a board of neutrals inves tigate the Baralong affair and at the same time the sinking of the liner Ara bic, the British steamer Rue and the attack on the British submarine E-13 in Danish waters, which occurred at about the same time as the Baralong incident. The German government rejected this proposal and notified Great Britain through the American embassy oa Jan uary 16, 1910, that she would exact re prisals. The exact nature of the re prisals is d inclosed for the first time in dispatches from Berlin today. SHOWEROF BULLETS Two Make Get-Away While Pulling FlaxOne May Be Wounded Two more convicts escaped this morning frem the gang employed in pulling the state's crop of flax. They are Charles Brown, serving a sentence ot from 1 to 7 years for lar ceny from a dwelling, Washington county, and Leopold Werter from : Multnomah county, serving from 1 to I 5 years for burglary. At the time of the break, the men were working at the side of a field on the Etter place in Mission Bottom. The men evidently decided that they might not have a more favorable op portunity to try for a getaway, the distance to the brush from where the gang was working being a short one, and they covered it with bullets flying thick about them. It is thought that Werter was hit, but if so his wound was not sufficiently serious to stop him. This makes a tofal of eight convicts that have escaped since the flax gang9 j started work this summer. ' Wheat Takes Another Big Jump During Day Chicago, Aug. 15. After a low open ing today, due to a slump iu Liverpool, wheat jumped sharply, registering ad vances of from 5 to 5 5-8 cents over today's low opening. An over esti mate of the Russian surplus of 300, 000,000 bushels was believed to be the cause of the jump. September wheat was up five at $1.40 5-8; December up 5 at $1.44 and May up 5 5-8 at J 1.48 5-8. Corn was influenced by the strength iu wheat and rose over a lower opening caused by heavy selling on reports of rainfall in the corn belt. September was up 3-4 at 83 3-4; December up 1 at 71 3- and May up 114 at 74. Oats, weakened at the start witn the decline in other grains, recovered a few minutes Inter. It made strong recov eries as firmer toues developed in the other grains. September was up 1 1-s at 43 5-8; December up 7-8 at WVn and May up 7-8 at 49 5-8. September wheat closed at vi.tz, a net advance for the day of six 3-8 cents. December gained 7 cents to tl.46, while May advanced 7 cents to -1.50. Captain and Crew Tell Different atones San Francisco, Aug. 15. Conflicting stories were told today by Captain Tob- in of the bark Callao and the crew of the vessel, which reached port last night after the crew refused to proceed to New York with the ship. According to Hans Peterson, spokes man for the sailors, they were first told that the bark was to be towed from San Francisco through the Pan ama canal and sail up the coast to New York. He states that after the vessel left here, they were told she would sail around the Horn. The sailors insist that the crew was too small to handle the ship on such a lung cruise and that blocks and tackle were defective. The men further feared capture, as George W. McNear, local agent for the ship, is on the British blacklist. GERMANS m (Continued From Page One.) "In the first place, the fielils have not been dry enough to enable them tn start a great fire," he said. "In the second place, many of the crops are in. In the third place, we have no large Jarms like you have In America ami if small farms lost their crops in this manner it would not affect the total. Don't forget, too, that our aeroplanes are guardinir our farms as well as our trencnes. r'urthermorc, our biggest harvest potatoes, cannot be burned because they are buried." The oats supply from the new harv est is so good that horses' rations w.ll be ineraseil and the fodder prospects are so excellent that Germany expects to raise as large a stock of pigs this fall as iu peace times. By a. special arrangement between the government and the cattle raisers the latter must deliver to the government so many fat pigs in return for fodder, which tne governmnt has monopolized. This in sures a eeiinin supply of pork ami makes unnecessary the slaughtering of milch cows unless they are dry. "As the result of these steps, there will be no shortage in milk," said Ba tocki, PQETLAND WOMEN MAT . KEEP CHILDREN HOME Portland, Or., Aug. 13 Mothers of Portland children may keep their youngsters from school when the ses sion opens Labor Day, to express their disapproval of starting the term on labor's holiday. This step was discussed at a meet ing called by the Women's Civic Wel fare League. The idea is to make the Labor Day opening a complete fizzle, so the registration ami class assign ment work must all bo done over again later.
