In the railroad de partment there was not a little liqui dation at intervals, which carried pric es down a fraction to a point or so anil depressed those of the coal carrying roads in particular and a few others ont to two Points. The gradual crystallization of tne government s price regulation plans which has about reached the point oi including coal, was the direct cause of this liauidation.

Crucible Steel wag an exception, but still ruled one to two points or more below the pre vious closing. The .close was irregular.

NO GREAT NAVAL DSiVE BEFORE IsEXT SPRiKG! American Fleet of Destroyers to Be Made Greatest In Woridjirst "Washington, Aug. 20. To make the American navy foremost in its destroy er force, Secretary Daniels today gath ered representatives of 25 firms and studied emans of more than doubling destroyer contracts. If he succeeds, the I 11 ita.l Ktotaa mill hnnA mow. ' ..... United States will have more destroy ers than any nation, including Great Britain. Daniels asked the conferees to pro vide greater rankling space and mo bit ion. Orders went out today to speed work , .i ,.,,.... ' r on present contracts. Construction of submarine chasers will close temporarily when the first group is finished and attention will be turned to the bigger task of making scores o fdestroyers. Daniels suggested that private and government yards already engaged in destroyer destruction should enlarge enlarge their output and that outside firms should undertake new work. Daniels report from Admiral Sims shows that the destroyers do the most effective work against the U-boat. Officials regard it as likely Great!

This was learned officially today though naval authorities, favoring such a move, said the decision does not pre clude possibility of a big drive later.

They left about four weens ago going to Berkeley, and other Cali fornia points among them Santa Bosn, where Mr. Kawson had relatives. On the advice of Santa Kosans they came home by the coast route, throu-jh Yre ka and Crescent City, striking the Pa cific highway at Grants Pass. The coast road Mr. Rawson says, is full of scenery, and also of danger. The road in places is very narrow, and a number of autos lie wrecked in the canyons below it. It is up or down all the way and until improved autoists will do well to adoid it. At Vhiak they became acquainted with Mr. and Mrs.J. A. Smith of Phoenix, Arizona, who GANG INAUSTRALIA me with them.

Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 20. Tactics em ployed by both sides in the Bisbee strike and subsequent deportation were condemned by Governor Campbell, in his letter to authorities of Cochise county, made public today. The gov ernor declared the method used in pre senting demands to the mine operators ana calling of a strike immediately thereafter without resort to the refer endum on the part of those affected was unfair. The tactics used by strik ers, the governor declares, brought about a reign of terror in the district, invading the right of the whole body politic. Referring to the I. W. W. the gov ernor said: "The principles of the I. W. W. arc a stench in the nostrils of decent Amer icans. Insofar as my power as gover nor of Arizona extends, I shall not tolerate in the remotest degree their application in Arizona. A menace to civic well being and industrial progress in time of peace the toleration of their doctrines during a state of war is treason." . The governor's report of his personal investigation in the Bisbee district states that the civil government had not broken down. He declares the de portation of men by the sheriff July 12 was illegal and finds the Loyalty League committee, which has been passing on the cases of men entering the district, also without legal stand ing. He orders that it cease its activi ties at once. In conclusion the gover nor says: "Henceforth I shall look to the officials of Cochise and all Ari zona sounties for co-operation in en forcement of the laws." The governor declares it would be a disgraceful blot on the history of the state "if we, the responsible officers, are obliged to admit that our proper functions have broken down and that the last resort martial law must be invoked." HOP GROWERS HAVE BUSB MEETING Committee Appointed to Take Stock of 1915 Hops 175 in Attendance , Oregon hop growers, members of the Oregon Hop Growers association met today st the Commercial club to dis cuss the general situation and to re ceive a financial report of the secre tary. After all the conditions of the trade were discussed, there developed a feeling that the report submitted was not definite enough. In order that the members should be given this iuformation a motion was in troduced by Louis Lachmund, and al most unanimously carried to the effect that committee of three be appointed tor tne purpose of ascertaining the number of bales of the 1915 crop sold by the association, their respective grades and prices and for what figure each ws sold. A motion maoo by President Jones also carried to the ef fect that this committee of three make a report on the unpaid notes and that recommendations should be made as to the general business affairs of the association. This was also carried, and as a committee to work out both of these propositions, Messrs. Lachmund, Palmer and Leonard were appointed. When this committee is ready to make its report another meeting of the as sociation will be called. No business was transacted at the meeting as a majority of the stock was not represented although about 175 were in attendance. Although the contracts provide that those who had prime hops should re ceive the returns from these hops, there via some disposition to place all mcmberg of the association in one class and make all share in the losses. Ac cording to the report, there seemed to be no money in the treasury excepting for those who had prime hops. It developed that the selling of the 1015 crop was in the hands of an ex-' ecutive committee end that although President Jones had been in favor of selling, the committee opposed, with the result that the 1915 crop was sold at a low figure. Italy's Blow Hardest Austria Has Received Took 500 Prisoners. I Rome, Aug. 20.

Demanding a higher war profits tax in the revenuo bill, Senator Johnson this afternoon told the senate "those who con tho blood of war arc best able to pay tho debt of war." The Californian, predicted that if the United States goes on appropriat ing money at the present rate its war debt would exceed, by the end of next year that contracted by any other na tion. The committee's argument that war profits ought not be taxed so heavily as to drain them at one effort, John son replied: "Is it wiso statesmanship to look' to tho time when there will be no war profits and expect then to tax thorn f We have got to do as Great Britain i9 doine by taking the larger part of these profits instead of a mere trifle-" Johnson asked the senate to "show the same enthusiasm in conscripting wealth" that was shown when tho youth was drafted- Senator LaFollette, who was to hive begun today his fight on the war prof its and income tax provisions of tho bill, announced he would not be ready until tomorrow. Senator Jones, New Mexico, in a three hour speech today asserted theso two sections did not make any equit able distribution of the tax burden.
