TOwnIey's Position On
Wheat Price Slated

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 21.-Farmers do
not desire higher wheat prices, provid-
ed the cost of things they buy is redue-
ed, according to A. c. Townley, presi-
dent Of the National Non-Partisan lea
que.
Denying the league would support
bills in congress for increasing the
wheat price to $3.50 or SO bushel,
Townley said:
"In my opinion, these bills will please
the profiteers. These gentry think they
can boost prices all around, if essentials
are boosted. Thus they would place the
farmer in their own class. Farmers Will
not benefit from SO wheat, if mill feeds,
farm machinery and other necessities
continue to advance. :.
FLabor troubles might result, but II
congress does not give the administra-
tion power to compel great monopollstlc
middlemen and other profiteers to re-
duce prices, then in self defense the
farmer must get more for his wheat or
farm production will fall off. "

Judge Webster Says He
viii Not Be a Candidate

Judge Daniel Webster, veteran JUS
tice of the peace of the Salem district,
stated this morning that he would not
be a candidate for reelection. =" am
getting too old, said Judge Webster,
'and / do not want to stand in the
way of younger men. / will celebrate
my 55th birthday in April, and by the
time my term expires next January
will be well along toward SO. | do not
feel that l could enter into another o.
year term and do full justice to the
work of the Office
Judge Webster has served six contin-
uous terms as justice of the peace in
Salem. 1t is doubtful if there is an older
justice of the peace in the state, but it
is certainty that no other justice court
has been administered with a greater
degree of efficiency and fairness than
has Judge Webster's.
"No, / am getting too DID, said the
Judge to his friends. "By the time an
other term should expire | would be
nearly 92 years old, and it is doubtful
if 1 could properly fulfill the duties
of the office. There are a number OF
Younger men who could fill the office
much better than myself. / know that
there will be several candidates. / am
going to step back and give them an
open field and fair fight-and just
watch the fun"
Although the judge is an old man in
point of years he still loves fight
and has the spirit in him that carried
him through numerous Civil war en-
gagements. He intimated that II the
term of office was only two years as
it used to be he might be tempted to
try for it again. ),
"But let younger man have 1t,
said Judge Webster. "There s Frank
Davey, for instance. He would make
one of the best justices of the peace
know of. Frank ought to be candidate
and make campaign for the office.
And there IS Glen Unruh. l see he has
announced his candidacy. He would
make a good justice of the peace, too.
There will doubtless be others. am GO
ing to set back and watch the fun
this time"

ELEVEN INDICTED
FOR CLOTHING FRAUD
Poor Material Furnished
Army Nets Crafters Five
Million Dollars

New York, Feb. 21.-Charged with
having defrauded the government of
uniform cloth valued at approximately
$5,000,000, eleven manufacturers and
handlers of the cloth in New York
were indicted today by federal grand
jury. They are:
Louis Davidson, Abraham Pursch,
Javon. Weinstein, Hyman Horwitz
Leon LeLvine, irving Weinstein, Ben.
jamin Horwitz, Barney Tietz, Ira L.
JanowslSy, Barnet Robinson and Morris
Alewitz.
1t is alleged these men, all involved
in the process of preparing cloth sup
piled by the government for uniforms,
fasified records in such a manner that
they were able to steal cloth and sell
it. Janowsky is an employe of the
quartermaster' department, with Of
fees here.
The men were arraigned before Judge
Manton in federal district court, where
they pleaded not guilty and were held
in bail.
"Particularly in the east, officers of
the federal banks are selling their in
fluence so that certain persons who
really have bribed them, may obtain
federal loans," GLASS said.
''To break up this practice and to
clarity to penal provisions of the act,
which have been the excuse for some
of this work, the amendments make it
crime punishable by Imprisonment
for an officer to accept any fee, com
mission or gift in obtaining loans or to
take any loan of more than $4,000
from the reserve bnak for his personal
use :"
Other amendments which were in
cluded in one bill extend the scope of
the federal reserve system in the line
of general trust business State banks
have bitterly fought the encroachment
of the federal reserve act on this phase
of banking but the provisions regarding
trust business were recently held in
valid by the supreme court.
Changes in the groupings of banks
SO as not to ignore the small institu-
tions in the elections of directors were
also recommended
1.-THE directors now are not repre-
sentative enough" Glass said. '|Too
many of them come from the big
banks. -
Looking toward American business
after the war, the provisions of the
act concerning foreign banking are
modified so that American institutions
may greatly extend their operations.
Banks of this sort would be granted
charters of the federal system by the
new amendment.
Authorization Of reserve notes in
denominations of $1,000, $4,000 and
$4,000 is provided. H

OREGON MUST FIGHT
FOR SHARE OF FUNDS
Opposition to States Claim
Un Proceeds Of Coos Bay
Wagon Grant

If Oregon is to save for its school,
road and port funds just share of the
proceeds that will be derived from the
Coos Bay Wagon Road grant lands, it
Fwill be necessary to present informa-
tion which will convince the members
of congress that the state is entitled to
Ia share of the proceeds. And just now
the big job is to convince majority
of the committee on public lands of
the lower house of congress to this eff
feet.
That is the situation as emphasized
by Attorney General Brown and S. w.
Williams, special assistant to the at
torney general of the United States,
following conference between the
two yesterday afternoon. AS the sit
uation now stands it is understood
that majority of the public lands com
mittee, before which is pending the
Chamberlain-S -SinnOtt bill providing for
the government to retake the $4,000
acres left in the grant, are opposed to
the provisions of the bill which allow
Oregon SO per cent of the net pro-
ceeds.
To overcome this sentiment the at
torney general and the officials of
Coos and Douglas counties are devot-
ing their energies to gathering infor-
nation on the subject for use by the
Oregon delegation in congress.
The attorney general is also send
ing word to the county courts of those
two counties, in which the grant lands
are located, to make arrangements to
confer with NJ Williams, who attend
ed the hearings held by the public
lands committee on the Chamberlain
Sinnott bill, so they may obtain first
hand information and better under
standing of the situation in reference
to the bill.
It is estimated the lands are worth
at least SO 900 900, and that something
over $1,000,000 would be the net pro-
ceeds from their disposal. This means
that under the present provisions of
the Chamberlain -Sinnott bill the state
common school fund would receive
about $250,0O0, the road and port dis
trict funds about $250,000, the U. s.
reclamation fund 100000, and the u.
s. treasury 100000.

CAPITAL NATIONAL
LEADS Y.N.C.A. LEAGUE
Leaders Defeated Watt Ships
In Basketball Game
Last Night

The Capital National Bank added an
other scalp to their belt when they de-
feated the Watt Shipp team in the first
baske ball game at the Y. M. @. A.
las night, by the overwhelming score
of "a to 4. The game showed no specSac-
ular playing, the Bankers plainly win
ming through their perfect team work
and well directed goal shooting. So far
the Bankers have shown themselves to
be far superior to any other team in
the Commercial league, having won
every game in the series, and there be-
ing but one game with the Bishops yet
to play, there is a fine chance for the
Bank to win the Commercial league
series with a percentage of 1.00U per
cent. However, Bishops have at last
got into the game and have twice won
over the Hauser Brithers team, and also
over the Mauser Brothers team, and also
them to second place in the percentage
list and they now expect to be able to
win from the bankers.
The second game was more interest
ing. At the end of the first half Hauser
Brothers were IN the lead with the score
3 to l. When the second half began
Eoff replaced Mist as forward for the
Bishops and he started scoring early in
the half. This steadied the Bishop team
and they piled up baskets until they
had secured 8 field baskets to the Hau-
ser Brothers 2. This defeat brings the
Hauser Brothers team to fourth place
in the percentage list. Next week they
will play Watt Shipp Co.
The hneups for last night were:
Capital National Bank: Harra, (O;
Baker, (13); SocolofslSy, Robinson,
Steiner ~; Purvine.
Watt Shipp Co:Shafer, Secor, JAS
koski (4(; De Lapp, Radcliffe, Clark.
Final Score: Capital National Bank,
"a: Watt Shipp Co. 4.

Oats and Barley
Soaring &yWarl

Portland, Or. Feb. 21.-Pursuing their
skyward course, oats and brewing bar
ley moved up another mark in valua-
tion today, with prospects of further ad-
vances. Both have been past previous
national high records for some time.
Milling oats were quoted at $40 ton
today in the Merchants Exchange. De-
spite this 81 advance there were no
sales.
Brewing barley advanced $3.50 to
1880 a ton bid in the exchange. As
there were no sales at this price, this
means the price is approximately $3.50
a ton in the open market with seant
supplies forthcoming.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-With farmers still

ceipts. Trainloads of flour were being
sent from mills to the Atlantic coast
