 Senator J. c. Smith reported on his investigation of conditions in Portland, made during the week end adjourn ment of the legislature.
 "The police declare a parade is planned by the lawless elements, who are arranging to have it headed by soldiers and sailors" he said. "The police declare if they interfere, some one will be hurt, and if soldiers are harmed, they fear it will cause resent ment of soldiers all over the country. You can't put a uniform on hobo and make a patriot of him.
 Tn certain quarters of Portland, two thirds of the people you meet wear the red button, and they are a dangerous looking crowd"
 Are the soldiers who are among them still in uniform 2" asked Senator Louis Lachmund of Salem. He was informed they were.
 Then first, they ought to have the uniforms taken off them, and next the red buttons, declared Lachmund

MINEOLA, N. Y, Jan. 21.-EXonerat- ed by the Nassau county grand jury of a first degree murder charge, Madame Jacques Lebaudy returned late today 10 her home in Westbury, where, on January H. she shot and killed her eccentric husband, the self styled "Em- reror of Sahara"
 Madame Lebaudy was accompanied by her 15-year- old daughter, Jacque- line, for the preservation of whose hap piness, more than for her own safety, she says, she killed her husband. My fondest wish is that I will be permitted now to rest in seclusion," was her only comment as she left the jail.
 News of her eXoneration was taken to Madame Lebaudy by Mrs. Phineas Seaman, matron of the jail, at o'clock, shortly after the grand jury had re- ported mo indictment" Madame Le- baudy, who had paced her quarters in the jail nervously throughout the af- ternoon, tainted, but quickly recovered, She was kneeling, with a crucifiX pressed to her breast and offering a fervent prayer in French, when her at torney entered to confirm Mrs. Sea- mans report.
 Thank God it's all over" she cried bursting into tears.
 While the attorney went before Su- preme Court Justice Aspinall to obtain a written order for his clients release Jacqueline was summoned by telephone from the home of Rev. William F. Nc Ginnis of Westbury, where she had been staying since her mother was i'm prisoned.
 Before she left the jail, Madame Le- baudy kissed Mrs. Seaman, shook hands with the sheriff and other jail at taches, and asked that her thanks bt conveyed to the members of the grand | jury which had freed her.

Denies Excessive Profits Warns Against U. S. su- pervision Doesn't Care to Raise Cattle or Cotton Says Shoe Making Out of His Line
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-J. Ogden Armour of Chicago, president of Armour and company, spent more than four hours today before the house interstate commerce committee, reading pre- pared statement opposing government regulation of the meat packing industry and in answering questions of members of the committee. His examination will be continued tomorrow.
 MT. Armour denied that his company makes excessive profits, declaring the return last year on SS61, 100000 worth of business was less than two cents On every dollar of sales, and said he was perfectly willing to relinquish his hold ngs to the government upon being al lowed just compensation. He warned, however, that government ownership implies red tape and restrictions which cannot help but add to the costs of the service
 Charges of the federal trade con- mission of collision among the five big packing firms, to control prices, were denied categorically by MT. Armour, who also insisted that there was keen competition between the sO-called "big five" in buying as well as marketing.
 Discussing the increased prices of
 
 bacon now costs 70 cents a pound against 25 and 30 cents four years ago, could be readily understood. Prices of live hogs had increased 245 per cent in that time, he declared, while costs of labor and fuel had doubled.
 The market prices Of bE-uroducts had not increased in the same ratio as live hogs, he asserted, and this neces- sarily put a greater price burden on the edible parts of the animal.
 Reads Long Statement.
 MT. ATmOur's prepared statement covered 6S printed pages, and the wit ness voice became so weak before the end, that he had one of his associates complete its reading. The afternoon session was devoted entirely to the questioning of Mir. Armour by members of the committee.
 How far are the ramifications' of the meat packers to extend?" asked Chair man Sims, referring to criticism by the federal trade commission of the en- trance of the packers into trades, ap- parently unrelated to the killing of meat animals. If you can tan leather, why can't you manufacture shoes, especially ! as. you control such quantities of hides And why can't you retail these shoes to the public? If you can make lard com pound from cotton seed, why can't you go into the business of raising cotton and of spinning the stapIe?"
 Theoretically, you are right; prac- tically you are wrong, in assuming that we can do all those things the witness replied. There is more reason for us to engage in cattle raising than in shoe manufacture, but so long as I am alive, my firm will do neither. We could not make a success of shoe manufacturing. because it is a separate industry. A busi- | ness has to stop expension at the point where it loses efficiency, by adding more articles than it and it's salesmen can handle with profit There's limit Continued on Page Two)

Ceremony Impressive and Dignified - Youth Pre- dominates -Glorifies Her Historical Record-Thou- sands Applaud

DUBLIN. Jan. 21.-(By The Asso- ciated Press)-Twenty- five members of the sim fein society, elected to the British house of commons, assembled here this afternoon and formally con- stituted themselves the 'Dail Eireann, which is is Irish gaelic for Irish Par lament"
 They elected Charles Burgess, whose Irish name is Cathal Brugha. speaker. They also adopted declaration of in dependence and an address to the free nations of the world and appointed a committee consisting of Count Plum kett, Arthur Griffiths and Prof. Edward De Valera to present the claims of Ire land to self determination to the peace conference at Paris.
 The two last named being in British prisons, only the venerable Count Plunkett can proceed to Paris, and then only provided the British government consents to give him passports.
 The walls of the hall were quaintly embellished with the classic statues in plaster and coast of arms. Past lord mayors have witnessed many more eX- citing dramas, notably in recent years the conventions of the nationalist party when there were impassioned speeches and hot party contests. That today s proceedings seemed tame by contrast was due to the fact that they were conducted in the dead language of the Irish tongue. This was a tribute tC sentiment, but it was deadening tC interest. Few of the 1000 auditors understood the addresses.

METH0D|STS BEGIN CAMPAIGN TO RAISE
 S115,000,0O0 FUND

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Bishop Thomas Nicholson of Chicago sounded the key note of the Methodist Episcopal church's plan for missionary and ed ucatlonal campaign which contem- plates the raising of fund of S115. O0O,- 900 in five years; in an address deliv- cred here tonight before the joint cen tennary committee of the denomina- tion.
 Tt is a program which contem- plates" he said, putting all govern ment and all diplomacy of the world on an open Christian basis of righteous ness, with square dealing and justice for high and low, rich and poor. It pro- poses that instead of the strong ex- plotting the weak, they shall recognize the debt of strength to weakness and each find his happiness in the happi ness of all and his highest good in the good of all. It proposes that we give a new meaning to citizenship in America, in China, in India and in the isles of the sea.
 This program proposes hospitals where there never have been hospitals. It proposes better houses, better schools where there have been inferior schools or none at all. It proposes that as we have made the love of God burn up the dross of base desires in the indi- vidual soul, we shall now extend the spirit of Christ to all realms of human action"
 Rev. Fred B. Fisher of New York made a special plea for the education of the masses of India, China and Russia
 Paul L. Vogt, superintendent of the department of rural work, board of home missions and church extension of the Methodist Episcopal church, di- vided the work under his direction into three classes:
 l First-Support for rural clutches.
 Second-Americani of foreign. | born farmers
 1 Third-Control of community insti- i tutions by the church.

Clay Tallman Warns West That East Will Steal In dustry Says 100000 Idle Acres Ready Now Scouts Limiting Output to Protect Prices - Would Give Consumer a Chance

DENVER, Jan. 21.-Warning to western livestock producers that they must take full advantage of their opportunities to produce the maximum quantity of livestock, so that the needs of the nation can be met at reasonable prices, was voiced by Clay Tallman,. comris- si oner of the general lahd office, in an address today at the opening session here of the twenty second annual convention of the Ameri can National Livestock assoca- ton.
 "It is very well for you stock men to talk of limiting production to correspond with the demand, so as to keep up prices," Mir. Tall man said, "but the laboring man in the east who has to pay days wages for a roast doesn't look at it that way"
 Mir. TalIman said 200,000,000 acres of land in the Train belt" in eastern states are now lying idle, and added: "lf the western states fail to rise to their opportunity to develop the livestock industry to it's maximum possibility, the east will turn to these lands or to i'm portation from abroad for its meat supply, and the west will not only have been derelict in it's duty, but will suffer from the sack of devel- opment of which it is capable"
