nually Hereafter; Pendleton
Convention Ends With Dis
cussion of Experiments.

ed its first annual meeting in Pendle-
ton about 1870 last evening and most
of the visiting delegates departed for
their homes on early trains today.
Instead of semi-annual sessions. the
association will meet but once each
year hereafter, it was decided. The
association will lay plans between now
and next spring for further growth
and development and endeavor to
make each meeting more worth while
than that preceding.
Experiments Cited
In last evenings session, discussion
was continued on the topics taken up
at the county library earlier in the day.
The delegates often went into Eek
perience" meetings and the chief gain
was in exchange of ideas and expert
ments which had been applied to the
various clubs. One of the most in
struetive discussions was that led by
+. f. McCroskey, of Salem, who told
of the county federation plan in vogue
in Marion county. A similar plan was
recommended to Umatilla county sew
eral months ago by the Oregon State
Cham Der but has not been worked out.
Meeting Shortened
Before adjourning. the association
passed resolutions thanking Pendleton
for its hospitality. A number of
things planned for the pleasure of the

desire of Secretary Nelson to rush the
program through in one day.

Contrary to popular belief. DR., Meek

and not the cause of high prices. In
crease of prices, he stated, was TO be
attributed to two causes: doubling of
the quantity of currency and decrease
in the quantity of goods; the profiteer
was the result of these conditions.
Since the country, according to Dr.
Meeker. possesses no comprehensive

SENATE STUDIES
NAVY REFORMS
Committee Votes to Consider
Naval Development Under
Investigating Powers.

Washington, April 10 Over the
protest of the Democratic members
the senate committee investigating
the Sims Daniels row decided today
to broaden the scope of its Serk to
include suggestions for the reorganf-
Zation OF the navy department.
+, Senator Pittman, Democrat of Ne
vada. strenuously objected to the ex-
animation of Rear Admiral F. F.
Fletcher by Chairman Hale to develop
reorganization suggestions. declaring
the committee had no authority to go
in that matter.
Chairman Hale declared the COM
mittee was authorized to investigate
anything connected with the navy de-
partment and when Senator Pittman
persisted, a vote was taken. The two
Democrats present voted against ex-
tending the inquiry and the two Re-
publicans voted in favor of doing so.
Chairman Hale then cast the deciding
vote.
Senator Pittman announced he
would carry his protest to the full
naval committee Immediately. If the
inquiry We're extended as proposed, he
said the committee would be in ses-
sion, "the rest of the year

declared in an address today on the cost
of living before the city clubs in which
he urged cooperation as the most
promising defensive weapon of the peo-
pie in the struggle against high prices.
BY carefully planned and lavishly
financed campaign of misrepreSenta-
tion," DR.. Meeker declared, big bust
ness has succeeded in magnifying the
defects and obscuring or discrediting
the benefits of publicly controlled and
managed enterprises. The people have
been bamboozled into relinquishing all
effective control over distribution and
prices of food and fuel and they have
been made to appear to clamor for the
return to private management of the
railroads, the telegraph and the tele-
phone lines and the radio stations. Con-

gressive, constructive program to re-
store industries, especially agriculture,

No Further Developments Ex-
pected Until Supreme Coun-
Gil Meets Next Week.

Paris, April 1o.-France's reply to
the British note on the French occu-
patton M ovement maintains that
warning was given Great Britain Of
the intended move It comedies the
necessity of preserving the unity of
the allies, and expresses Frances will
lingness to act in harmony with that
IDA No further developments are
expected until the supreme council
meets at San Reno.
Dusseldorf April 10-The rule of
workmen ceased throughout the Ruhr
district at noon today when executive
committees at Dusseldorf, EIberfeld,
Barmen and Hagen relinquished au-
thority TO municipal authorities in
compliance with agreement.
Paris, April 10.-The note sent yes
terday by Premier Millerand to the
British government in reply to the
British note with regard to the action
of France in sending troops into the
neutral zone in Germany says:
The French government affirms
first of all that no doubt can be felt
of the loyalty of its attitude. The
allies have been constantly informed
of its policy. The French government
has always opposed the entry of sup
Elementary German troops into the
Ruhr region and has added that the
authorization for such an entry must
have a counterpart in the occupation
of Frankfort and Darmstadt
"On April 8 its representatives in
all the allied capitals informed the
to which they were ac
credited Cat the same time copy be-
ing sent to the allied representative
in Paris) that Marshal Foch's meas
ures could no longer be postponed.
the French government
recalled that the matter concerned
the violation of one Of the most solemn
clauses of the treaty signed by France,
and that the German government had
formally recognized that formal auth
orization. given in advance, was nee
essary for such a derogation. and that
France had the right to ask for ter
ritorial guarantees.
How could the government of
France have been satisfied with the
German promise to withdraw the
troops when order had been restored?
Neither for reparations nor for the
delivery of the war-guilty, nor for
coal have the allies received the stipu-
lated satisfaction
THE question could be asked when
the British government which no doubt
has not measured the danger of these
systematic violations would step in
the path of concessions. France, in
any case, was obliged TO say: that
is enough"

Pittsburgh, Kansas, April 10.-The
Kansas court of Industrial relations
today awaited the next move OF Alex
ander NJ. Howat, president and three
fellow officers of the Kansas members
OF the United Mine, Workers of Amer
lea who were in the Crawford county
Jail on a contempt order issued for
refusal to appear before the court and
answer questions.
No indication had been given as to
what course the mine leaders would
pursue and interest was centered in

Our position now is the same as it
has been from the beginning since the
Industrial court law was passed at the
instigatino of Governor Allen" Howat
said in a statement given to the press
from the Jail. This law is intended
to enslave the working class of this
state and to destroy organized labor
and is intended to put the mine work
ers and all other classes of labor back
where they were years ago before we

SENATE AGAIN
BATTLE-GROUND
House Resolution Declaring War
at End Will Be Taken Up
Monday 1t Is Expected.

Washington, April 10. - With the
adoption by the house of the joint
resolution declaring the war with Ger
many at an end the senate today
again became the battle ground for
peace" Both Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders expected the measure to
be taken up there without great delay,
probably Monday.
Opposition to the resolution from
those who have fought so bitterly for
the adoption of the Versailles treaty
was assumed, but opponents of the
treaty and the league of nations were
confident its passage would be OBJ
tanned with considerably more than a
majority, and that the affirmative vote
would include a fair per centage of
Democrats as was the case in the
house.

WOOD CAMP PAICN
FUND Is SECRET
Millionaire Chairman National
Committee Refuses to Pub
liSh Amount Raised.
By FRANK w. ROSTOCK,
Editor Cincinnati Post.

New York, April 10 William
Cooper Proctor. the millionaire Gin
cinnati manufacturer who is chairman
of the General Wood National Cam
paign Committee, refuses to make
public the amount of money that has
been raised to make the general the
Republican candidate for president
Proctor also refuses to make public
the names of those who are financing
the Wood campaign.
He makes a general denial that
Wall Street money" is being literally
used in the military candidates in
terest.
l talked with Procter while he was
making one of his periodical FLYING
trips from Chicago to New York. The
Wood campaign is being directed from
headquarters in Chicago. Washington
and New York
How much monex has been raised
for the Leonard Wood campaign
fund.-" l asked Proctor after his de-
nial that the money barrels of Wall
Street" had been opened TO help Wood
along.
"It is impossible to state the
amount" said Proctor.
The public may feel assured how
ever. that the money is not coming
from sources that any candidate need
be ashamed of. nor of such amount as
would be offensive to the American
public in view of the expense necessi- :
tated in conducting primary cam
pafgns in THE state of Oregon Ne
braska, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wis
Cansin. Michigan Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, West Virginia. New York, Mas
sachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont
and Pennsylvania.
Expenditures will be strictly with
in the laws governing expenditures
for such purposes"
who are the contributors and how
much has each given?'' / asked.
There are hundreds of contributors.
Some give small amounts. others give
more literally. This money does not
all go into a national fund. Commun-
tiles pay their expenses out of their
own funds.
Wherever possible the Wood pub
licity work is done by volunteers.
Many persons cannot afford to give
their time for this work without COM
pensation. This is true especially of
persons doing clerical work.
Assistance is given from the ma
tionaI committee fund to communities
where the work cannot be carried on
properly because of lack of men who
can afford to volunteer their services.
We expect to make Wood a peoples
by having him selected by the
voters in the primary elections. 1 am
firmly of the opinion that if he wins
in the primaries nothing can stop
him"
How much have you given to the
fund personally and how much do you
propose to give further?"
L don't think that a fair question
at this time because il might be pos
sible, no matter what I might say, for
persons who would care TO do so TO
my answer

Interested Contractors Are Lend
ing Aid in Perfecting Plans
and Specifications For the
Project.

Bonds for the building of the munics-
pal docks will be advertised for sale as
soon as the plans for the structure
can be drawn up and decided upon.
Mayor Sanders has announced, and con-
ferences between the city commission
ers and prospective candidates for the
construction work have been going on
for the past several days to agree upon
the blue prints.
Buyers for the bonds will want to
know just what kind of dock Pensa-
cola is going TO build before they will
want to place their money at the dis
posal of The city, said Mayor Sanders.
and we are working on the plans whitf4
we may show to bidders for the bonds
Unofficially several contracting COM
panies have notified the city commits
sioners that they intend 20 submit bids
for the construction of The docks as
soon as the contract IS advertised A
meeting between the commissioners and
representatives of construction CON-
panies to draw up plans for The docks
will be held during the Week.
Considerable opposition to the bniid-
ing of the docks developed recently
and the commissioners decided to post
pone further action until after the
election. Mayor Sanders had strOnely
advocated the wharfs and his opponent
was not favorably disposed toward the
project The commissioners decided TO
let the people decide the issue by the
election of whichever candidate thcy
wanted. BY the vote of confidence
given Mayor Sanders in the election the
commissioners will proceed with the
development of the plans
The city owns the tract of water
front along Main street and IL is planned
to build docks there that VIII accom-
modate six 1900 ton ships at one time
The slip aiongside each pier viii be 80
feet i'm width and have 3o-feot depth
if plans submitted are approved
The pier will have three railroad
tracks running its entire length and
will be connected with the Pensacola
Electric Co. and the railroads. II is
planned to have the ground storage
served by four additional tracks inter-
connecting with the railroads.
The plans which are now under con-
sideration by the commissioners call
for an expenditure OF a total of s29i.-
$3.50 for the piers, bulkhead and the
dredging. The city is allowed to float
a bond issue for 100000 for the build
ing Of the municipal docks complete
and 100000 for a connecting belt line
railway. The railway has been dccid-
ed as unnecessary owing to the track
age in this section now in use and
connected by the line of the Pensacola
Electric Co. The state law allowing
the bond issue and the vote of the citi-
zens OF Pensacola endorsing the project
was favorably passed several years ago.

sums sufficient to make a purse of
$500. "Then a committee will be ap-
pointed and we will go to Mr.. Stokes
and he will have the law broken. If
there's one flaw in it there's a dozen"
Mr.. Shelby said. Mr.. Pace was an
other speaker who is opposed to dip
ping. Formerly he favored it but is
now opposed.
