Two SUFFRACETTES
ARE UNDER ARREST
Carried Banner to White
House and With 1t We're
Taken In Charge

Washington, June 29.- Escaping a
line of police outside Of suffrage head
quarters today, two militant pickets
bore a banner to the white house
gates and were promptly arrested by
two policewomen. The police character
lied the affair as "surprise attack I"
but the pohcewomen were ON hand
within few minutes after the pickets
arrived.
The two women arrested were Mrs.
Lawrence Lewis, of Philadelphia, who
was previously attacked during the
anti-suffrage demonstrations this week
and Miss Gladys Greiner of Baltimore.
The banner they bore said:
"Mr President, you say we in the
United States are interested only in
human liberty extract from
Wilson'S address on "The New Free
DOM"
There was arguing between the BAN
ner bearers and the polieewomen. The
women had no more than unrolled their
flag when the two officers pounced on
them and took them to headquarters.
Few witnessed the arrest. The wo-
men chose the west gate as this was
the least guarded of the white house
portals.
The women were charged with viola
tions of sections five and six of the
police regulations against unlawful as
semblies obstructing traffic. They
were permitted to del art, however, on
their own recognizance, with the un
derstanding that they will appear Later
| for trial.

PAC|F|STS TRYING
| TO DEFEAT THE Law
Form Organization Which Has
Conscientious Scruples
About War
By Webb Miller,

Omitted Press Staff correspondent
Washington, June 23.-Two "paci-
fist" organizations have launched a
huge campaign that, if carried out,
would, officials said today, greatly
undermine the selective draft law.
These organizations, it is stated, are
attempting to open up a channel for
escape from military service. More
than ten thousand have enrolled in the
propaganda.
Agents of the department of justice
are today fixing their attention upon
the activities of representatives of the
organizations So far efforts the
"pacifists' are confined to attempts
to have inserted in the exemption regu.
lations which will be published prob
ably Monday, clause that would
specifically permit persons protesting
conscientious objection" to war, to
escape selective draft and enrolment
of members with the implied promise
that their membership constitutes
them collectors.
The most active organization is the
American Union Against Militarism.
It's headquarters are in New York. The
other organization headquarters in
Northfield, MINI. In their activities
the pacifists appealed t. President
Wilson and Secretary Baker to provide
for exemption of conscientious OBJ
ieetors'' and members of pacifist un-
/ ions. These would furnish their big
membership with exemption.
After an appeal to the war depart
ment, Secretary Baker pointed out that
the draft law fails to provide fol
conscientious objeetors" and that tht
department cannot "go behind the
law in administering it.
With two. of their avenues shut of
the organizations are seeking to OBJ
tain liberal Interpretation of CLAUSE
in the law that permits the exemption
of members of recognized religious
sects or organizations.

WANT RATE INCREASE
after GOODS ARE IN
Portland Firm Would Grant
Railroad Request, If 1t
Misses Them

T. w. Jenkins & Co. of Portland is
one of many firms which have written
to the public service commission urging
the commission to grant the request of
the railroads for a 10 per cent increase
in freight rates on Oregon business
The company, however, frankly asks
the commission to delay action until it
has time to pass the added cost on to
its customers and relieve the company
from having to bear any Of the extra
expense. The company S letter said:
!" As grocers and shippers, we are not
opposed to the advance in freight rates,
and believe that the railroads should
be granted the advance. .
I'VE, however, believe that this ad-
vance should be delayed until either
November / or December l, as we con-
tract for merchandise and sell this
merchandise in the early part of each
year, based on our costs, plus the
freight rates as quoted in the tariff.
An advance in freight rates prior to
November or December would have to
be stood by ourselves, as the merchan-
disc has already been sold at fixed
price.
A. w. Stone, manager of the Apple
Growers association of Hood River,
urges the commission not to allow the
advance in rates on the fruit industry
as he says to allow the rates would
be serious injustice, and would threat
en- its total destruction.

Market Tone Strong
and Prices Advance

New York, June 2s.--The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said. =
News bearing on stocks today was all
Of favorable character particularly
the official announcement Of the billion
dollar over-subscription to the liberty
loan. The money situation also seems to
he well in hand and apprehension on
this score is slowly subsiding. Quiet
firmness was displayed by securities
prices in an entirely professional mar
ket.
Equipment and steel issues were IN
most favor, while the railroad depart
ment was all but overlooked.
The late trading was featured by
heavy buying of Baldwin Locomotive
which advanced in excess of four points
American Car and Foundry ruled about
two points higher and other equipment
and steel stocks extended their early
gains The market turned dull at IT'S
hiyh Levels and eased off somewhat
but the closing tone was firm.
