johnson, whose election would GER
tainly defeat the league and the
will of a majority of the Republic
cans of Oregon.
Judge Wallace McCammant. at
one time a judge of the supr- ne
court of Oregon. refuses to supp jrt
johnson on the ground that he was
nominated by petition rather than
by filing. and that the law does not
impose on him the same obligation
to support one with plurality In
the primary as it does on the other
candidates who filed their names
without a petition.
How long the other Wood and
Lowden men who constitute the
delegation are likely to continue to
vote for Johnson is a question for
their own conscientious decision.
In view of the statute, they seem
inclined to the view that their OBJ
legation is that they shall vote for
johnson only so long as there is
reasonable ground for their think

CLAIMS TIED UP !.
BY PEACE VETO
Action on Bills Against Foe
Must Now Wait Till :.
March 4, 1921.

Claimants for damages to life and
property through the sinking of the
Lusitania must now wait indefinitely
because Of the veto of the Knox
resolution which sought to establish
peace with Germany. q.
1t was learned yesterday that the
government had in mind the crea-
ton of a commission or tribunal
Independent of the Preparations
Commission. to determine the value
of a life lost under the circum-
stances which surrounded the sink
ing Of the Lusitania. This became
necessary because of the hundred or
more estimates of the value of the
lives of victims set forth in claims
for damages filed with the State De-
partment.
The German idea. as attributed to
former Ambassador Won Bernstorff,
was that Germany would consider
the payment of a $1,000 fiat rate.
Claims in the department for indi-
vidual life values ranged from $685.
900 to 100000.
A State Department official said
yesterday that neither these nor
other claims against Germany now
had any hope of settlement until
after March 4, 1921.

his connection with the shooting Of
Frank Exum, also colored, which
followed a card game and quarrel
staged in Mike Johnson's soft
drink parlor Sunday afternoon, was
let out on $1,000 bond today. The
charge against him was disorderly
conduct, although this charge will

lieved Exum will be able to testify.
Clark is not believed to have &C
tually shot Exum, although he ad-
mits he was owner Of . gun which
figured in the affair. He stated that
in struggle over possession Of
the weapon 1t was unintentionally
discharged.

lice after the fight Sunday after
noon and was confined in the East

Rev. Father Culemans was espe-
cially interested in helping the ba-
bies of Belgium and directed the
Queen Elizabeth flower sale for
their benefit.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
were sent to the relief of the suf-
faring largely through the efforts
Of these two men. Scores OF Bel

America. They helped restore
