Portland = Estimates covering the
1915 corn pack have been reduced by
conservative factors to 9, 200, 900 cases.
Early estimates were for a pack Of
5000, 900 cases. The 1914 pack was
9,789, 900 cases, and the average for
the three years 1912, 1918 and 1914
was 10000, 600 cases. Cold and un-
seasonable wet weather during the
critical growing period for making
sweet corn played havoc with the pros
poets In all sections Of the country.
The tomato pack for 1915 promises
now not to exceed 300, 900 cases.

GERMANY GETS REPLY
BRYAN TELLS ENVOY HIS NOTE
MAY CAUSE TANGLE.
Ambassador Told II Is No Business Of

Food or Arms.
Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. - The United States
government replied Wednesday to the
recent memorandum in which Count
Won Bernstorff. the German ambassa-
dor. declared that IF the American
people desire TO observe true neutral
ity they will find means to stop the
exclusive expectation OF arms TO one
side or at least to use this export
trade as a means to uphold the legiti-
mate trade with Germany, especially
the trade OF foodstuffs."
The American note. which is signed
by Secretary Bryan. was drafted at
the State Department but was finally
penned by President Wilson himself.
After pointing out that the language
used by Count Won Bernstorff "is sus.
ceptible OF being construed as i'm
pugning the good faith of the United
States in the performance OF its du-
ties as neutral" the note takes IL
for granted that no such Implication
was intended" and suggests that evi.
IDENTIFY the German ambassador "is la.
boring under certain false impress
sions."
II is then declared that while the
relations OF the United States with
any one OF the belligerents cannot
wisely be made n subject OF discus.
sion with a third government such
correspondence between the United
States and the allies as has been pub.
lished shows the steadfast refusal
OF the government 'to acknowledge
the right OF any belligerent to alter
the accepted rules of war at sea In so
far as they affect the rights and in.

Syracuse, N. Y.-Theodore Roose-
welt. admitted under ross.examination
Monday in the suit for alleged libel
which William Barnes has brought
against him that while governor he
had freely consulted the Boss" of
the Republican party In New York
state in reference to the appointment
of officials in the state government,
and various legislative and political
matters. The "Boos" named was
Thomas C. Platt, who at that time
represented New York in the United
States Senate.
The former President said he took
the advice of the senator in many
matters, among them appointing a
Democrat to the office of tax commits
sioner. ito please Grady" whom the
Colonel described as q lieutenant
boss of Richard Croker, then leader
OF Tammany hall
The testimony resulted from ques-
tions asked after letters of a series
that passed between Roosevelt and
Platt had been read to the jury.
In one letter Col. Roosevelt asked
the senator's advice about making
speeches: in another Senator Platt
told the colonel he had received a
copy of bill introduced by Grady, in
which the senator said he considered
1t inadvisable to give Tammany from
$4,000, 900 to s12,oOO,oOO on an appro-
priation TO expend upon the water
front of New York as 'it would be
simply putting an unnecessary club in
the hands of those people. with which
% knock our brains out"
And, in the last letter read, which
was dated in 1901. Col. Roosevelt told
the senator that he did not want to
be vice president of the United States.
as It was not an office in which he
could do anything: but he would like
to be governor of New York for an
other term.
