Gerard, ex-ambassador to Germany, last night. He declared the United States must re linquish its claim on independence or throw every man and every dollar into the conflict. Gerard said lie did not know when he would leave Montana, but added that he would visit the Pacifie coast. ' ANOTHER SMALL LOAN Washington, Sept- 5. Secretary Me Adoo today announced loans of $100,- SUFFRAGETTES GIVEN CHOICEFNE OR JAIL Thirteen of Them Arraigned One Is Paroled to Care of Her Mother Washington, Sept. en militants today 5. Thirteen worn were given their choice of a $25 fine or sixty days in the workhouse for attempting to pick et the white house yesterday. They re fused to pay the fines. The aged mother and brother of Miss Julia Emery, Baltimore, pleaded with Judge lJugh not to send the girl to 1 Occoquan. The mother fell weeping into the arms of her sou. "Turn around and look at your mother," ordered the judge. "That is what your stubborn conduct has brought her to. It is a pity you can't be dis ciplined in some other way, but I am going to parole you in the custody of your mother and take your personal bond." Miss Pauline Adams, Norfolk, Va., had a spirited tile with the nudge. "I want to tell you," shouted Miss Adams, "that democracy will never be suppressed bv prison walls." "And I want to say to you," thund ered Judge Pugh, "that suffrage never will be obtained as long as these meth oda of your's prevail." "But the president has said " said Miss Adams. "But the courts say you can't, re turned the judge. "The president has said," shouted Mis Adams, "that I can picket and the president's word is higher than the courts." "Twenty-five dollars or sixty days," replied the judge. OLD DEMON RUM WILL THROW UP SPONGE This Will Happen at 11 o Clock Fnday Night When 600 Distilleries Close Washington, Sept. 5. When totter ing Demon Rum tosses up the sponge at 11 o'clock Friday night about six hundred distilleries and at least eight thousand men will quit their business. The law will permit production of spirits for non-beverage purposes and for the fortification of sweet wines, but experts believe that only a few distilleries can adjust their machinery to turn out the "high proof" alcohol needed for industrial and medicinal uses. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1916, 847 distilleries were registered and 635 operated'throughout the coun try. These are the latest figures avail able. The most recent census of man ufacturers shows that 6290 wage earn ers worked in distilleries. It is esti mated that this total has since in creased one-third. Kentucky, with 202 registered dis tilleries and California with 165, will be the states hardest hit by the new law. Pennsylvania has sixty eight; Ohio forty-four; Missouri and Maryland twenty-eight each and New York twenty. Distilled spirits yielded the united States treasury in the last iiscal year $192,111,318. Submarines Bomabard Town, Three Are Killed London, Sept. 5. A German submar ine bombarded the British town of Scarborough last night, Lord French, commander of home defense forces, an nounced today. Three persons were kill ed and five injured. The material dam age to the town was slight. The sub marine fired thirty rounds in all, half of the shells falling on land. Scarborough is the queen of the Brit ish watering places, a summer resort village on a headland extending into the North sea, 37 miles northeast of York. So far it is an utterly unforti fied town.

General Liggett will leave soon for Camp Greene, North Carolina, to command the troops prev iously ordered to Camp Fremont. 000.000 each to Great Britain and France, making a total of $2,666,400, 000 advanced by the United States government to foreign countries. INDUSTRIAL ARMY LEADERSIN SESSION Alliance For Labor and Demo cracy Opened First Con yention Today Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 5. Leaders of Uncle Sam's industrial army met here today to pledge anew their fealty to the government and ask in return greater economic efficiency and recog nition of labor. The Alliance for Labor and demo cracy, which represents the millions of loyal workers in this country, opened its first annual convention at ten o'clock in the Minneapolis auditorium. In preliminary conferences the dele gates have pledged unwavering sup port to the government's war program; to resistance of reactionary encroach ment upon free speech and free press; t greater economic efficiency during the war, which may mean public owner ship of railways, mines and telegraph and telephone lines, and to recognition of labor and those socialistic factions which have been loyal to the govern ment, when terms of peace are dis cussed. E. G. Hall, president of the Minne sota Federation of Labor, introduced Governor Burnqiiist and John Lind of the state public safety commission, who welcomed the delegates. Frank P. Walsh, former chairman of the federal industrial relations com mission, was made temporary chairman. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, will be permanent chairman. John Spargo, leader of the socialist group in the conference, said today that while re-alignment of the socialist movement will be discussed by social ists attending the meeting, it will not be made a part of the formal delibera tions. He declined to give any de tails regarding his anonunced plans for a new socialist party. THIRTY-ONE PER CENT TAX WILLIPASS TODAY This Is the Prediction This Morning Though Passage May Be Late Washington, Sept. 5. A thirty one per cent tax on war profits will be vot ed by the senate today. This is the pro gram of the finance committee, which for many days has been battling the vigorous demands or a score ot sena tors led by Senatdus Johnson and Borah for a heavier levy on the profits of war. The committee amendment will raise $1,060,000,000 practically double the sum the committee originally planned to raise rrom tnis source. we have tailed to get what we want out of this," Senator Johnson, California said today. "But we have forced what amounts to a victory. The its are established as the difference between the 1917 income of a corpora committee has been compelled to nearly double tne sum it planned to get from war protits." Under the committee plan war prof tion and the average peace profits com puted from any two of the three years before 1914, plus from six to ten per- tienti on the inviestcd capital- It amounts to a general tax upon all profits. There was some talk today of a com bination between the Johnson-Borah group and Bankhead-Underwood forc es in an eleventh hour etfort to force higher war profits taxation. However, the wealth conscriptionists feared the Bankhead amendment which would tax all profits over 28 per cent at 75 per cent, gives the railroads a loophole to escape war profits taxes. Hence, the coalition is doubtful. TODAY'S BASEBALL SCORES National First game R. H. E. Philadelphia 2 6 0 New York 3 9 3 Bender and Killifer; Schupp, Ander son and McC'arty, Rariden.

Norwood brought in to the Journal office an odd potato. It was an old one but on one end there were about twenty five or thirty tiny po tatoes growing in clusters.

(Special) Naturally Turner is unanimously in i favor of having the Pacific Highway pass through that thrifty section. That there is something besides just local desire however is shown in the fact that other points which the highway will not touch are also in favor of the Turner route. Among these are Stay ton, Aumsville and Marion, all of which were represented at a meeting held at Turner last night to take action on the location of the highway. Without a dissenting voice every community rep resented and every person present were strongly in favor of changing the route of tne highway between Salem and Jef ferson, so that it would pass through Turner. Turner placed its cards on the table and presents the following as some of tho reasons why the route of the highway should be chanced. As a preliminary it is frankly admitted the road will be between two and three ' miles longer. Against this however it j is pointed out that all hills will be avoided and the road instead of being costly to grade will be along a water i level route and can be built, on this i account, as cheaply if not more so, than if located over the proposed route over the hills. The road over the Turner route is practically all graded now, and can with but trifling cost be made ready for the paving. This will per mit road to be completed cheaper than over the hill route. It would prove a great convenience to, and become the main highway for a large section of country lying east of the road, that would receive no benefit from it if lo cated on tho line proposed over the hills. The latter is so hemmed in by natural barriers that but a small sec tion would be able to use the highway, If thought best, the building of about two miles of new road, would still per mit it going through Turner, and the difference in distance would then be only about one mile. On the Turner route tourists would get a view of all the state institutionos. Thus not only the citizens of a big district will get practical benefits from the change of route, but the tourist class will have something added to their views. It is the practical benefit though that should count and if the highway can in addition to its attrac tions for Visitors BtTalso made to serve a large prosperous and growing section, the opportunity should not be oyer looked. Practicaly every citizen in the south eastern part of the eounty desires this change made and the number ot lead ing residents from Aumsville, Stayton, Marion and all other points in that sec tion of the county, present at the Turner meeting Bhows how deeply they arc interested. They all believe the best interests of the state and the whole state demand tho locating of the states big highway by way of Turner, rather than over the hills. TO Bill Now Before Congress- Commercial Club to Lake It Up Tomorrow Night Whether or not the citizens of this community are in favor of a military highway extending along the coast from Blaine, Wash., to the Mexican line will be submitted at a meeting of the Com mercial club to be held at the club rooms inursuay evening ut o o ciocit. The t'acific Coast Defense .League, through its representative W. G. Pattou, will tell of what has been done to sc cure tins military highway anu wnat must be done to induce the war depart-1 ment to build the road. According to the general preliminary survey, from Blaine, Wash , south as far as Eugene, the military highway would be identical with that of the Pacific highway. The needs of a military highway was first brought to the attention of con gress in a resolution introduced by Sen ator Wesley Jones of Washington. This resolution was referred to the committee on military affairs, of which Senator Chamberlain is chairman. It was intro duced early in February, and reads af follows: "That the war department be and is hereby directed out of sums at its dis- First Contingent Reaches Camp Grant Camp Grant, Rockford, III., Sept. 5.

Bill. Introduced. A bill was introduced in congress June 18, 1017, which provides for the survey or a military highway on the Atlantic coast, on tho south lino of the the eouutry and on the Pacifie coast, to make a continuous military highway, to be constructed and maintained at na tional expense. This bill was referred to the committee on military affairs of which Senator Chamberlain is chairman. The passage of the two bills depends entirely on the action of those mostly interested in the military highways. If the communities through which the highways will pass on the Pacifie coast do not back up their senators and rep resentatives, the bills may not bo given favorable attention. But if there is a united opinion to back the action of senators from the coast, the chances are favorable for the passage of tho bill ) ami resolution. Hence, the meeting has been called for Thursday night that official action may be taken as to whether the people 0f tn;3 t.jty tavor the construction of a military highway. Every commercial club from Blaine, Wash., to Salem that has been address ed by Mr. Patton has given the bill its endorsement. Resume of Situation In Butte District Butte, Mont., Sept. 5.

Military Power Must Be Completely Broken Washington, Sept. 5. Kaiser Wil holm's militaristic power must be ut terly broken aud the conscience and character of Germany radically chang ed before America will hold out peace, it was officially stated today. The state department, placing this latest interpretation on President Wil son's answer to the pope added that even should such changes come to tho heart of Germany, the military situa tion at the time might be insufficient as a basis for peace" talk. No superficial reforms under reieh- stug decree will meet American standards- The popular vote is imperative aa ono condition. throuuh the movement of miners to mo nurvest iients aim to other camps. The Metal Trades council will voto on a general walk out Friday. If the metal workers vote to quit and it is generally predicted that they will the independent mines, which are still trying to operate, will be closed before the end of the week. Tho metal trades' unions contend that the companies huve broken the recent contract, giving them grounds to make new demands and strike. They wunt $6.50 a day anil the complete abolition of the rustling card. The strike fever is spreading to oth er labor organizations. The walk out of 50(10 members of the building trades unions is freely predicted. The paint ers union and a local contract brought on this new angle to Butte's labor trou bles. The contractor and mc union wera unable to agree on the employment on a certain job of ono painter, and un able to ngree on a way to settle their difference. The union Is preparing to ' cull out the 200 painters here, aud tho building trades council, with which the painters are affiliated, are preparing to call a general strike. iiutte's labor troubles have no prom ise of an early settlement. The striking metal mine workers' union's official believe that the companies will keep tho mines shut down for at least. two months, unless the government takes a hand in the situation. Others sny that the mines will not open for two months Horses, mules and machinery have) been brought up from the mines. The fact that the government is planning to fix the price of copper at 20 to cents has complicated tho situation. With copper at 20 cents tho men would get $150 a day under the wake schedule recently made by the Anaconda company. With copper at 21 to 23 cents, the men would get $4.75 a day, which was under the price paid before the shutdown. The striking min ers want $ii. K AMERICA'S DAINTIEST ACTRESS I
