SAY BRITISH USE
RED CROSS FLAGS
Claim Made That British
Transports Use the Flag
to Conceal Identity
By Carl W. Ackerman.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, by wireless to Sayville, Nov
20.-Charges of fraudulent use of the
Red Cross flag by English transports
bound to the Orient, were made today
by an admiralty official.
"Our submarines wirelessed that
when English ships reach the subma
rine danger zone, " he said, "they drop
Red Cross flags over the white space
painted on the side of the vessel Sew
enty English transports passed Gibral
tar for Salonika, heavily laden and
painted like hospital SHIPS.
Gone can tell whether vessel is
heavily laden by the water she draws
These ships carried to the limit of theil
capacities. Surely, England is moi
sending 70 hospital ships to Greece
within q few days. They were un
doubtedly carrying troops and mum
tiOns.

illustrative of the lengths to which oul
enemies will go.

TO- TRY MAN WHO KEPT
SOUL MATES ON TAP
When His Case Was Called
Soul Mate Expert Was
Sick From the Shock

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 2O.-Investiga,
tion has been started today by the post
office department into the state case
pending against William overtoui
psychic, and R. Archer, alleged wreck
ers of homes.
When the case was called to trial to-
day by Justice Otis Brinker, Overton
was not in court.
He sent word to Deputy Prosecutor
Palmer that he was i'll, owing to "ner
vous strain and mental suffering due
to newspaper publicity given his bnsi
ness.'
Palmer Informed Overton that he
would demand physicians 5 statement
regarding his illness.
An agent Of the postoffice depart
ment appeared in the court room and
questioned witnesses for the state as
to Overton s methods.
He said the department would prose
cute the psychic for misuse of the maill
if the evidence justified.
The use of newspaper advertising
columns, he said, to lure victims, con
stituted misuse of the mails, if the
newspaper had mail circulation.
Overton and Archer had been adver
tising extensively in newspapers here.

PORTLAND LOOKS
OUT FOR HERSELF
AND NONE OTHER
Has Better Rates Than Valley
To All Points Except
Northern California
BUT OBJECTS TO VALLEY
HAVING LIKE TREATMENT
Wants To Lie Down In the
Trough and Spoil What
She Cannot IJse

1t was Portland against the country
south Of it in the lumber hearing at
Portland yesterday and the sentiment
Of the Portland bunch seemed to be
something like what Vanderbilt said
about the public. The Portland bunch
laid great stress upon the fact that
several sawmills had been built outside
of Portland in the past 10 years, which
they seemed to think was crime.
A. G. Dixon, manager of the Booth
Kelly company, presented the valley
end of the case strongly among other
things saying;
About three years ago, the rail
road sent number Of investigators
through the valley to interview the
mill men on the subject of shrinking
lumber shipments. These men learned,
said Mr.. Dixon, that the valley mills
operate under strong competition from
all sides; that they are at natural
disadvantage because they cannot ship
by water, and that the rates in terri.
tory reached exclusively by rail will
not permit them to compete effectively
with the mills IN Portland.
Following the visit of these men, ex
| planned Mr.. Dixon, officials of the
Southern Pacifies including William
Sproule, president, and G. w. Luce
freight traffic manager, madea toul
through the valley, also visiting vari
Gus mills and lumber camps.
Portland Has Big Advantage.
"Mr. Sproule told u.s." he added
"that the railroad wanted to help built
up our country; that It depended upoI
our business for its earnings in Oregon
and told US that they would do some
thing to help our mills. These results
1 suppose, are the fruits of tina
promise. 81 .A
Mr.. Dixon detailed the condition o
the lumber industry in the Willamette
valley. He pointed out first that tn
mills in that territory are unable t
ship at all by water and for that reasol
are shut out Of the San Francisco mar
ket; that Portland has an advantag
in the territory served out of Los An
geles as well as in Nevada; that the val
ley has an adverse differential Of l.
cents in Idaho and ii cents in Spokan
territory. They are shut out of tn

WANT TESTIMONY OF
ORT|E M'MAMGAL
State Working Hard To Make
Dynamiters' Testimony
Admissible

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 2O.-Ortie
McManigal, confessed dynamiter, will
probably be called to the witness stand
early next week when the murder trial
of NJ. A. Schmidt, alleged McNanama
accomplice in the blowing up Of the
Times building is resumed.
McManigal and his wife, with whom
he is reconeiled, are living here, max
ing no attempt to conceal their identi-
ties. McManigal frequently visits the
court Of Judge Willis, where the trial
is in progress
BY introducing evidence of an alleged
nationwide conspiracy to destroy build
ings, bridges and other steel structures
with dynamite, the state hopes to lay a
foundation for the testimony Of Me-
Mpnigal, which the district attorney
claims will link Schmidt with the Times
building disaster.
