Washington, Feb. 5.-By the mar
rowest of margins, following debate
in which the floor leader urged all
Democrats to override the objection
of the president, the House of Rep
resentatives late yesterday voted to
sustain the veto of the immigration

A card bearing the words, "Will &c
to Calexico this a. m." signed "John-
son." is the only clue to the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of ]. H. Johnson,
San Diego money lender, who came
to FL Centre, January A, and began
plans for the opening of the Wag-
ner tract. He disappeared January %
and has not been heard from since
that time.
On January 5 Johnson came to Ell
Centre with letters of introduction
from San Diego realty operators to
r. E. Jauman, later establishing an
office in the same building with Jau-
man. Immediately after his arrival
here he began preparations for the
erection of houses on the Wagner
tract. Negotiations for the building
of a number of houses were transact
ed, Johnson lending the money to per-
sons desiring to build homes on the
new tract.
On the eve of his disappearance
Johnson worked late into the evening,
Mr.. Jauman leaving the office while
Johnson was still at work.
Before Mr.. Jauman left Johnson in
formed him that when he had con-
cluded his work he expected to spend
the remainder of the evening at the
public library. AS far as is known,
this is the last time he was seen.
The next morning Jauman found
the card informing him that Johnson
had gone to Calexico. 1t was at this
time that the valley was visited by
the recent heavy rainstorm and Jau-
man, when two days had elapsed and
no word had been received from John
son, believed that the latter had been
delayed at Calexico on account of the
condition of the roads.
Then came word from persons at
Calexico with whom johnson was ne
gotiating loans, saying that they had
not seen him on the day of his dis
that day having been de-
cided upon by Johnson, prior to his
for interviews with
several CaleXico residents.
Apprehensive over Johnson's disap-
pearance and fearing that he had been
stricken with some illness at Calex-
leo, Jauman, Wednesday, left for Ca
lexico, where he visited the hotels +
and rooming houses in vain search
for the missing man. Accompanied
by CaleXico officers, he also searched
Mexicali. Johnson was not there, but
he found persons who had seen him
in Calexico the day after his disap-
pearance.
In an effort to find some clew to
the mysterious disappearance, Mr..
Jauman has tried to communicate with
Johnson's family in San Diego and
also with persons who were acquaint- .
ed with him. Only one reply has been
received up to the present time, which
states that the recipient of Jauman's .
communication. was unable to locate
Johnson's family.
A search for the missing man is
being made along the border by Ca
lexico officers, and on the Mexican
side Americans are investigating the
case.
Johnson, at the time of his dsap-
pearance wore black suit with a
white pencil stripe and soft black
nat. He is described as being nearly
six feet tall, with gray hair and blue
eyes, his face bearing a three weeks
growth of beard.
Mr.. Jauman this morning said it
vas his belief that Johnson had met
'oul play on the Mexican side of the
inc, his assailants believing that the
aged man carried a considerable sum
of money with him, as he was sup
posed to be man of wealth.

"There is no question of taking any

There is no truth in a statement

Blockade Warning.
(By Frederick Werner)
Berlin, Feb. 5.-Warning was given
to neutral shippers today by the Ger
man admiralty against approaching
the north and west coasts of France
This notice practically means a block
ade OF the French coast, in effect
though the word BLOCKADE" does not
appear in the official notifications
This action, closely following the no.
tice to neutral shipping to avoid the
coasts of the British Isles, is due.
according to the admiralty, to the
TACT that the Germans intend to pro-
,eed with every possible means
against transports carrying troops
and supplies to France.
United States to Protest.
Washington, Feb. 5.-A vigorous
protest will be made by the United
states against Germany establishing
blockade on the coasts of England
md France. This was indicated aft
r today's cabinet meeting where
iermany's latest movement was dis
ussed. Such representations. it is
Understood, are being prepared by the
tate department for dispatch to Am
assador Gerard.
While Lansing pleaded ignorance of
iermany's plan, the opinion was ex-
ressed in admiralty circles that the
ecree of the Berlin government has
iolated the principles of information
! law. A big legal question in which
his government is chiefly concerned,
is intimated, is whether submarine
ttacks, such as those made by Ger
many on neutral shipping, can be con-
idered equivalent to mining in a Civ
n area of the sea.

Fighting On Suez Canal

Cairo, Feb. 5.-The main Turkish
forces have reached the Suez canal
and general battle is developing east
OF the waterway. Between Port Said
and the Suez canal Ottoman troops
have thrown up earthworks a few
miles east of the canal. These fortl-
flcations were shelled all night by
light draft British warships and the
Turks were compelled to retire. So
soon as the bombardment ceased, how
ever, they reoccupied the trenches.
Cairo, Feb. 5.-The Turkish troops
have resumed their attempts to cross
the Suez canal at Toussoun, near Is
mailie. Several boats that thew had
succeeded in launching have been sunk
and all on board perished. British
warships have resumed the lombard
ment of the Turkish positions.

SERMON ON LIBERTY
BRINGS CELEBRATION
TO FITTING CLOSE
End Of Present Great War
VIII Be Followed By Wave
OF Freedom

As a fitting close to the greatest eel
ebration ever held in Salem, thousands
of people gathered in Wilson park last
evening to hear the patriotic address
of the Rev. Frank l.. Loveland, pastor
of the First Methodist church of Port
turer.
Dr. Loveland eloquently discussed pa,
triotism, war aud religion expressing
candid opinions on each of these sub
ieets. He declared that II would take
so years for the world TO recover from
the present bloody Eurorean war, but
that when 1t did recover, 1t would be a
freer and a better world. After the
war is over he said, ~ believe that
monarchy win be dead and that there
will be United States of Europe, with
liberty for .he individual, for the mind
and for the soul.
The type represented hy the emperor
of Austria. Hungary, by the ear of
Russia and the emperor of Germany
was one that could not save the world
from an explosion.
Regarding the religion of today, the
speaker said that the day is coming
when the old theological mossbacks
would have to let the preachers express
| freedom of ideas, aud not express the
same theological ideas hat have been
in vogue for the pas; zoo years. II We
preserve America, we must pay more
attention TO honesty and virtue than
[ to the way we are baptiSed OF how we
use the water in baptism lie regarded
/ the day gone by when people will meet
| foc days and discuss the manner Of
baptism, or whether we should worship
ON Saturday or Sunday. Or, Loveiand
declared that he had seen little towns
of 300 with half q dozen churches not
paid for, with half dozen preachers
starved to leath and the women worked
over time trying to help in paving the
church debt In many small towns
there are often half dozen preachers
where one was enough,
Before the Civil war DR.. Lovcland
declared, there were just two classes
of Americans, the Puritan and Cavalier,
but after the war; only American cit.
izens could be found. Before the Civil
war an American loved only half Of his
country.
TO make better American citizens,
the speaker urged Cat every ne should
support every institution that worked

interested in good citizenship should be.

RECORD SHIPMENT OF
LOGANBERR|ES MADE
BY THE fruit UNION
Fresh Fruit Arrives New York
Good Condition - Nom
Cooled to ST. Paul

For the first time in the history of
the loganberry industry a carload of
fresh fruit has been shipped east of the
Mississippi river, part of a carload
having been shipped successfully by the
Salem Fruit Union clear through to
New York City. They arrived in ex.
cellent condition and were snapped up
instanter The Salem Fruit Union also
broke another record in the shipment
Of case of fresh loganberries to st.
Paul, Minnesota, without refrigeration
and the berries arrived in such excel.
lent condition that the recipient. Gen.
eral Manager j. G. johnson, of the
Great Northern Express company, or.
dered six more cases sent for private
consumption and they, too, arrived in
splendid condition.
The shipment of fresh logans clear
through to New York was mace pos
sible by 4 special method Of cooling
which has been adopted by the fruit
union this season and il opens up new
and unlocked for market and conse.
quent possibilities for the fresh fruit.
since it has been deemed impossible to
reach points further east than the
Mississippi. HERETOFORE the farthest
east that berries have been shipped bv
refrigeration has been Chicago and
this point has only been reached sue
cessfully by the Salem Fruit Union and
the fruit Growers union of Sebastopol,
California, where a special government
expert is in charge of the packing and
shipping.
When the fruit union carload Of log
ans was shipped it ~as opened at Chi.
cago, the original destination, and the
berries were found in such perfect con
dition that the cer was forwarded. 1t
was opened again at Philadelphia, and
a portion of the load taken out and
/ then the ear was sent on to New York.
The fruit union will ship several car.
loads to the extreme east during the
present season and if all proves as sue
cossful as the experimental shipment it
spells dollars to the growers.
When the hot spell of few davs
ago struck the valley it was feared
that the berries would ripen so fast
that they could not be cared for prop.
