JURY AWARDS FORD Gee Mt;
PRESIDENT AND
COMMITTEE TO
i, DISCUSS TREATY
Wilson's Offer Finally Ac-
cepted and Meeting Will
Take Place Tuesday.

Washington, Aug. l4.-(By The
Associated Press )-President Will
sons offer to talk over the peace
treaty with the senate foreign rela-
tlons committee"finally was accepted
today. At the suggestion of repub-
lican members and by a virtually
unanimous vote the committee de-
cided to inform the president it
would be glad to meet him at his
convenience to go over the disputed
points in the treaty and the league
of nations covenant. At the same
time the committee voted to call ad-
ditional witnesses and continue its
hearings.
The committee in its acceptance
of the presidents offer stipulated,
however, that it wanted no ban of
secrecy on the discussion, the men,
bers preferring to be free to use as
they saw fit any information the
president might impart.
President Wilson, replying to SEN
ator Lodges request for an appoint
ment, set Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock. He stated that it was his
preference that the fullest publicity
be given the conference so that the
people of the country might be put
in possession of all the information
he has about the treaty of peace.
How PROPOSAL Came.
The proposal to consult the presi-
dent grew out of a general discus
sion whether the committee should
continue its hearings or proceed to
act on the facts already before It.
Senator Johnson, republican, Cali
fornia, is understood first to have
mentioned the president as a wit
ness, but the formal suggestion that
the committee meet him was made
by Senator Lodge.
Democratic members, promptly
seconding the suggestion, pointed
out that the committee had been
told in its hearings that only the
president could reveal certain fea-
lures of the peace negotiations and
declared that Mr.. Wilson's informal
offer to receive the members at the
White House remained open. This
offer was made through Senator
Hitchcock, Nebraska, the admins
tration leader, when the committee
first took up the treaty month
ago. The decision to act on the
proposal was taken without rec
ord vote.
Won't Speed Action.
In deciding to call additional wit
nesses the committee reversed its
decision reached yesterday to speed
action on the treaty. 1t was voted
to request appearance Of five per-
sons, advisers at Versailles, who re-
signed, it has been reported, be-
cause they disagreed with decisions
of the conference regarding Shan
tung and Russia. They are E. T.
Williams, S. K. Hornbeck and Will
liam C. lBul!itt. The others sum-
moned are John c. Ferguson and
Thomas F. Millard, suggested as
authorities on far eastern affairs.
Dividing 9 to 8, the committee
rejected a motion to question also
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, Col. E. M.
House and Henry White, who with
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing made up the American
peace commission proper. 1t was
said afterward that the action with
regard to Colonel House might be
reconstructed should members fail
to get from President Wilson the
information they desire about the
league of nations negotiations.

INSTALL MODERN
METHODS
Electric Conyeyor and Elevator for
Fruit Union Warehouse

Guy Dayton, manager OF the En-
NETT Fruit Growers Union, returned
Yesterday from Spokane, where he
had been to arrange for the instalia-
tion of an electric elevator and con-
.veyor in the Fruit Unions warehouse
here.
This novel machinery will greatly
facilitate the handling of boxes OF
fruit and the transfer from the pack
ing department to the basement or
from the basement to the upper floor.
The conveyor will be 16S feet long,
but divided between the basement and
the main floor of the warehouse. The
principle employed is similar to the
lumber conveyors at the sawmill. Box
es of fruit travel on endless chain
rollers to the elevator, where they are
automatically transferred to the spiral
chute, or elevator, and descend or
ascend to the desired destination. The
is constructed of steel and
will cost S1700.
Mr.. Dayton also attended meet
ing of the Fruit Growers Marketing
Agents of the Northwest and reports
A live meeting.

Blaine Moulton Organizes IL Million

Several times The Index has noted
with pleasure the rise of Blaine MouI-

the son of Mr.. and Mrs Clayt Moul-
ton, in the commercial world. The fol-
lowing letter to his mother dated
Tokyo, Japan, March II, will prove of
interest to his many friends here:
1 1t has been sometime since | have
had an opportunity in which to write
to you. No doubt you think that | am
very neglectful, but really | am so
buried IN work that | hardly have
time in which to do anything else. |
think that | mentioned to you about
our organizing a new company in ia
pan called Thomas w Simmons and
Co. of Nippon, Ltd, with a capital of
Yen 2,500,000, or approximately ST.
100000, very big problem for even
much older men than myself to work
out. But so far | have had no great
difficulty. Especially organizing and
registering our company under Japan
ese law is somewhat more difficult
than ordinarily it would be in Ameri-
ca. However, to organize such a large
company it takes great deal of time.
We must secure department managers,
statesmen, stenographers, office clerks,
etc. Most of these things / have al
ready done. Several engineers from
America are on their way here now
to help complete our force.
We have many big government con-
tracts on which we are figuring. Only
last week | closed a contract with the I
Japanese government to supply and
equip SO miles of railroad. We are
now figuring on further contracts even I
greater than this. Our business ag-
gregates many millions within the
year.
At present it looks as though
would not get to return to America
very soon. | likely will be requested
to remain in Japan, and manage the
operation of this new company. In
which case, | will cable for the wife
and babe.
| miss good old America a great
deal There is nothing of particular
interest here. Perhaps, if l had
many days of idleness, | would be-
come very lonesome. | have no COM
oanions or anything like that.

DAVE. MARTIN SELLS
Butte RANCH
VanDeusen Bros. the Purchasers
Pay $4,000 for 400
Acres

Dave Martin, for more than 20 years
rancher on the butte above the Van
Deusen ranch, on Friday sold his
ranch of 400 acres to the VanDeusen
Bros. Company for $4,000. 1t is one
of the best improved places in this
section and for years has been a
large wheat producer. More than 20
years ago Mr. Martin filed on home
stead, which was the start of the pre-
sent ranch. Later he acquired from
the Womacks 100 acres. A large stor-
age reservoir, augmented by springs
on the sides of the butte, provide
water for a model irrigation system.
Spring water is also piped to the
house and the barn and feed lots.
This fine ranch is valuable acquisi-
tion to the VanDeusens.
Mr.. Martin says he will now retire
from farm life and will make his home
in Emmett. He plans to take an auto
trip of several months this summer to
coast points. He has been an industri-
ous rancher for more than a quarter
century and desires to enjoy the fruits
of his labors.

VICTORY LOAN DRIVE
STARTS MONDAY
Terms Are Very Generous-Gem
COunty's Quota Is Placed
at S13O,O0O

| The Victory Loan drive, the cam
paign for funds to pay off the coun
try's war debts and to defray the ex
pense of demoblization of the troop.
will open Monday, April 21. Gen
county's quota is S130,000, and it i!
desired that as many as possible make
their voluntary subscription the open
ing day.
County Chairman V. T. Craig has
issued circulars containing informa.
ton concerning the loan and the cam
paign, from which the following sum-
mary is taken:
Bonds Tor notes. run for four years,
with three-year option. They bear
Az per cent payable semi-annually.
Terms of payment divide the payment
into six installments, 10 per cent to be
paid with application on or before
May 10, 10 per cent July Is, and 20
per cent August IL, September 8,
October l, November II.

following places: Sherman Glenn's Of
flee, Ola. Farmers & Stockgrowers
Bank, Sweet. H. A. Pugh's office,
Montour First National Bank, EN-
NETT. Bank of Emmett, Emmett. R.
L. Battan's office, Letha.
The circulars then continue:
We have divided the different school
districts of the county into districts
over which we have appointed cap
talns. 1t is our purpose to ask the
people to take advantage of Victory
Day and make that the great day up
on which subscriptions will be taken.
If, however, we do not succeed in rails
ing our quota on that date we will
have to make an assessment upon the
ones who have not fully met their
office informing the individual of the
he is expected to subscribe. |
Should that fail it will be necessary
for yhur committee to make a !
canvas to raise the necessary
quota. We are very anxious of course |
hat the amount may be raised without I
-eSortlng to either of the last two 1
and therefore we urge you
% request every one to take advantage
If volunteer subscriptions on Victory
Day, April 21st.
We think that the necessity for this 4
oan is clearly understood. Our gov
.rnment has contracted the bills, our
soldiers have not all been returned and
t is not the custom of the Americoni
Jeople to lay down on the job before
t is completed. We ask you to give :.
his matter your earnest considera-
ion and to exert your full influence so
hat we may raise the quota on the /
irst day. These notes are tax free
n every respect so far as income to
he amount of $4,000 is concernedwhich
robably will be more than the income
n any subscription which will be ,
lade in this county.

it was impossible for all to see the
sights in the allotted hour and half
and many went away disappointed.
Victory Loan speeches were made by

as most of the crowd were too busily

war trophies. The exhibit was in

seen actual service and showed it. A
