England Replaces Old
GlOrY With OlUn Flag

Washington, d. G. - Ambassador
Gerard cabled the State department
the substance of statement made to
him by Captain Farley, of the Ameri-
can steamer Greenbrier, which arrived
at Bremen few days ago with cot
ton cargo from New Orleans, after
having been subjected to series Of
detentions, Notwithstanding assur-
ances which had been given by Great
Britain that shipments of cotton in
American vessels would not be de-
tanned.
Officials did not disclose the details
of Captain Farley's statement, but II
is said he charged that after examin.
ing the Greenbrier's papers, British
prize crew ordered the American flag
hauled down and conveyed the shiI
into Kirkwall, British port. Captain
Farley refused to navigate the ship
while the British flag was at her mast,
and asserted that through incompetent
navigation by the British three booms
were swept away. He was ordered to
take the ship to Leith from Kirkwall,
which he did after raising the Ameri-
can flag and later was able to proceed
to Germany, after a delay Of three
days.
The State department, it is UNDER
stood, is investigating the case through
the American embassy in London.

Consul Elect From U. S.
Rejected by English City

London = John L. Outright, newly
accredited United States vice consul at
Nottingham, has returned to London
without taking up his duties because
the mayor and other city officials had
advised him that he would not be ac-
ceptable in an official capacity. The
objection to Mr.. Outright was based
on articles which he wrote and which
were published in a Lincoln, Neb.,
newspaper. 1t was charged that the
letters expressed pro-German senti-
ments.
Before coming to Nottingham, Mr..
Outright served as American vice con-
sui at Coburg, Germany While there
he wrote the letters to which the Not
tingham officials took exception. Mr..
Outright is a son of John Outright, ed
itor of the Lincoln, Nebraska, Star
and formerly was private secretary to
William Jennings Bryan. The son, a
graduate of the University of Nebras-
ka, has been in the consular service
only few months.
The British foreign office has no in
formation concerning objections on the
on part of Nottingham officials to the
assumption by John L. Outright of his
duties at the American consulate. The
American embassy would say nothing
concerning the case, further than to
say that If Outright was not accept
able to the Nottingham authorities, he
probably would be sent elsewhere.

STARRING Chinese Sell
Wives to Bun Food

Pekin - The ordinary suffering in
China has been so intensified by loss
of trade with Europe that in some
provinces the sale Of wives and chill
dren is being carried on extensively.
The Manchus of Shansi province
have resorted to this practice SO gen.
orally that President Yum Shi Kai has
issued mandate in which he speaks
of the conditions as 'heartrending."
"In former days." according to the
mandate, "the banner men followers
of the Manchu banners) of Shansi
were supported by the Ta-ying gran
ary. But since the revolution they
have been dealt with in accordance
with the common rule, namely, all sup
port has been withdrawn. The fac
tories of the banner men have also
been suspended on account of lack of
funds. Therefore means OF livelihood
have been greatly reduced. The win
ter will set in very soon, and it is ex-
pected that the prices Of foodstuffs
will rise. The aged and the young
will be starved to death, while the
stronger ones will wander from their
homes.
Therefore we are very anxious
about them, and it is hereby ordered
that 1000 shih Ia shih is 100 litres) Of
rice from the Ta-ying granary of the
Shansi province be delivered over to
the major of the garrison, to be dis
tributed to the genuine sufferers"

NEWS NOTES FROM
STATE SOLONS

State Capital, Salem--Portland wo-
men wantsthe right to serve on juries,
yet they don't want to be compelled to
serve on juries. If the legislature can
find happy. medium somewhere be-
tween these extremes the women of
the state will be duly grateful, said a
delegate Of their number to the house
judiciary committee.
Apparently majority of the COM
mittee is not inclined to report favor
ably upon the pending bill, introduced
last week by Representative Huston,
giving women the privilege Of jury
duty. This particular measure is op-
posed by some of the upstate men,
bers. Their objection is based on the
provision that it will give women the
right to claim exemption by reason OF
their sex.
1t is pointed out that in the rural
districts, where the sheriffs frequently
are required to travel many miles to
summon prospective jurors, the officers
may encounter a notice of exemption
for their pains.
But the delegation Of, women led by
Mrs. G. L. Buland, representing a
number of women's clubs, and Mrs. j..
M. Kemp, representing the W. c. I.
U., pointed out that the same kind Of
law is working successfully in the
state Of Washington, where conditions
are no more. unfavorable than in this
state.

Car Sends 1000. 900 NeD
Men Against Prussians

London - That Russia has started a
new army of from 800, 900 to 1000, 600
with the army invading East Prussia
and the forces on the Vistula, is indi-
Gated, think military authorities, by
dispatches from Petrograd which say
the Russians have reached point 40
miles east of the German fortress Of
Thorn, after defeating cavalry de-
tachment.
1t is believed that the plan is to
crush the German forces in the region
of Mlawa, between the Russian army
in East Prussia and the one advancing
on West Prussia, and also to operate
against the lines of communication of
the Germans operating before Warsaw.

Salt Contract May Not Be
Approved BIZ Legislature

State Capitol, Salem-It is apparent
that there will be considerable opposi-
tion in the senate to approving the
lease made by the state land board
with Jason c. Moore, of New York,
for the development of the salts de-
posits of Summer and Albert lakes in
Lake county. The lakes are said to
contain deposits worth millions of dol
lars, and the syndicate Mr.. Moore rep
resents plans erecting plant at the
junction of the Deschutes and Colum-
bia rivers to which point the deposits
would be piped.
Under the lease approved by the
board and the contract made with Mr..
Moore he is to pay the state, begin
ming next year, royalties of not less
than s25, 900 annually, and more on a
royalty basis according to the product.
The lease is for 40 years. Mr.. Moore
at one time bid almost $4,000, 900 for
the property and other persons bid
more than that, but the bid Of the
latter was not accompanied by certi-
fed check, as stipulated by the board,
and all bids were rejected.
1t was then decided to lease the
property on the royalty basis and bids
were asked. Mr.. Moore's bid was
the only one accompanied by check
for $4,000, as stipulated in the ad-
vertisement, and he was awarded the
contract, subject to approval by the
legislature.
"The proposal of Mr.. Moore may be
the best that the state can obtain, "
said President Thompson, Of the SEN
ate, "but it is a matter that should be
given careful consideration by the leg
islature."

British Gain One Mile.

Paris-The Havas Agency has re-
ceived dispatch from Stomer, dated
January 10, which relates British
victory and an advance near La Basse
Of one mile. The message follows:
''The British, by an impetuous at
tack, stormed the strongly entrenched
German position near La Basse after a
vigorous shelling. This is an import
ant strategic point and its occupation
represents an advance Of one mile.
The British losses were slight, but the
Germans lost heavily. Many Germans
were taken prisoners. ~

7UO Battleships, 6 Destroy
ers, IL Submarines Asked

Washington, D. C.-Provision for
the construction of two great dread
naughts, six torpedo-boat destroyers,
16 coast-defense submarines, a seago-
ing submarine, hospital ship, trans
port and fuel ship, at an aggregate
cost of s53, 1853, 1928, is made in the
naval appropriation bill as agreed on
by the house naval committee. All
told the bill carries s145, 500, 900, of
which $22. 1903, 998 is directly appro-
priated for new construction.
While the construction program
falls far below the plans urged by
Representative Hobson and other ad-
vocates of a larger navy, it includes
the two battleships asked for by Sec
retary Daniels and provides for more
auxiliaries than the secretary had con-
templated. Chairman Padgett pro-
tested that the committee was run
ming wild" with appropriations.
