LAP DECLARES THE NEW
SHIPPING LAWS UNFAIR
BY DUKE y. PARRY.
International News Service Staff
Correspondent.

TOXIC. Nov l0.-Discrim' natory
shipping laws passed =; Great Britain
.and the United States are criticized BY
Mr.. Y. Ito, president Of the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha (Japan Mail Steamship
Company in recent discussion of
the forthcoming armament conference
i'm Washington. In the opinion of Mr..
Ito. the discriminatory laws. no.tu'v
the preferential freight rates in the
II ted States for goods shippcA from
the Orient in American bottoms, are
WI thy of consideration at the Pacific
;,nC disarmament conferences
The countries referred to in Mr.
Ito's criticisms are Australia. whose
c'.Istwise shipping laws he feels ,rs
nnlust; the United States. Great Brit
ain and the Eritish Colonies. He
makes the claim that the United States
while claiming desire for open
door" policy, and the members of the
League of Nations. while apparently
2 pproving anti-t.?de barriers. proceed
to pass laws which are nothing but the
erection of the Strietest ort of trade
barriers against Japan and other ma
tions.
Japan, according to Mr.. Ito. is vital
Iy concerned in keeping her present
Pacific shipping up to the standard il
has reached. To this end she must
watch carefully all discriminatory laws
md all attempts by other nations IL
lnjustly harm Japanese shipping Mr..
Ito has recently been called 10 the
presidency of Japan's greatest steam
ship line, from London, and for that
'eason he claims to know something
1f what Is going on.
In addition to the claims he pre-
tents against England, for her dis
acts in connection with
ihipping to her colonies, he alleges
hat the United States by making
preferential rates for passengers and
reight carried from the Orient in
American ships. violates one of Presi- !
lent Woodrow Wilson's points adj
'anced at Paris. in which the Ameri- !
an president declared against the
erection of commercial barriers.
While there has been expressed no /,
Intention to bring this subject up at |
it is not improbable that |

A motion was made by Joseph ~

tative n. j. Sinnott requesting them
to do everything in their power to

carried.
1--WE are talking about the expenses
Of good roads and high taxes" the
speaker said, but as q matter OF fact,
our other expenses are as nothing
when compared with the sums we are
paying for armament. II the money
which has been set aside for the COM
ing year for our army and navy could
all be applied TO good roads we could
build 10 transcontinental roads and
hard surface them every foot of the
way" Mr.. Scott said
Dwelling on the increase in taxes
which DR.. Kern had called attention to
in his own property, the speaker, while
expressing his own appreciation Of
Kern's speech, said that we are living
in a new world now and that the in
crease in taxes do not amount TO
enough money to buy set Of tires for
an automobile.
Resentment Of the attitude Of the
county court toward Sheriff Houser,
as reported In the East Oregonian, was
voiced by J. r. Hinkle who submitted
n resolution in which the demand was
expressed that the East Oregonlan and
the county court be asked for an ex-
PLANTATION Of the statement.
The resolution was recalled by Hin

There are not very many Of us left
here now. and this matter can be post
poned until another meeting. II will

O.-W. OFFICIALS
(Continued from page ~

"In this respect, the railroads are
not initiating any new conditions, but
are simply asking for permission to
make rates somewhat higher than the
rates carried by the steamship lines
through the canal that will enable the
trans-continental lines to participate
in the haul of some of this traffic,
which can only be had by meeting this
competition. For example, the rate
on iron and steel articles such as
structural iron, bolts. nuts, etc., by
rail from New York to coast terminals
Is $l.S3 1-2, which rate also applies to
Pendleton. The water rate from New
York to Portland Is 55 cents. The rail
lines propose a rate from New York
ard points on the Missouri river and
east of s1.0O to apply to coast termi-
nails. 1t will be seen that the rate OF
$l.00 will not, in any sense of the
word take the business from the At
lantic coast to the Pacific coast terml-
nails away from water lines, but II is
hoped that from interior points west
of New York and east of the Missour
river, it will hold to rail lines ship
ments that are now moving from in
terror eastern rail points to the coast
for re-shipment by water. For eX-
ample, from Pittsburg to New York
the local rate. as recall it, on iron
and steel is SO cents, which plus the
water rate of SIS cents New York to
Pacific coast terminals makes 81 cents,
to which Is added insurance, warfage
and handling charges at Pacific
coast terminals. 1t is felt that the
quicker time and straight delivery by
rail will enable the rail lines to par
ticipate in this traffic from Pittsburg,
and manufacturing districts such as
Chicago, Birmingham, Cleveland, De-
troit, etc.
"As a business proposition, 1t Is not
to the interest of Pendleton and other
interior cities similarly situated for
trans continental freight, as represent
ed by heavy articles, to be shipped
from coast to coast via the Panama
canal and distributed from the coast
to the interior. On the other hand, as
the carriers prosper, so will the COM
munities and cities which they serve
by reason of the distribution of mon
ey through the railroad payroll It Is
well known fact that at least so per
cent of the rail revenues are paid out
in labor and in the past a considerable
portion of the rail traffic has been
transcontinental freight. To the extent
-
mites will share with the railroad in
corresponding loss in payroll to en-
ployes by reason OF fewer trains, etc. -

ANXIOUS DAY ENDS IN
ENGLAND WITH HOPE A
PEACE STILL POSSIBLE
Lloyd George to Make
New Proposals To
Sim Fein
lRy Associated Pressl

London, Nov. 29-An anxious day
in the negotiations designed for the
pacification Of Ireland ended tonight
with the hope that complete col
lapse of the parleys night still be
averted.
Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster,
declared before the northern parlia-
ment in Belfast that Ulster had ab-
solutely refused to accept an all-1re-
land parliament, demanded as So
luton by the Sim Fein delegation.
But he announced listers willing
ness to discuss other proposals for
an Irish settlement if they were sub
mitted by next Tuesday.
Premier Lloyd George immediate
ly summoned the Sim Fein delegates
to consult with him and his minis
ters and submitted to them new
proposals which if they meet with the
approval of the Sim Fein will be pre-
sented to the Ulster officials before
next Tuesday.
Thus the situation, while still con-
sidered very critical, is not yet be-
yond the stage of negotiations.

Florida Kept 1t Quiet.

Gainesville, Nov. 29-Coach Kline,
of the Gators, admitted tonight that
proposition had been made to Van
derbilt for a post season game to be
played on New Years, but he was not
certain as to whether or not any
mention had been made of the play
ing field. He said that his impress
sion was that the atheletic officials
had left this question open, but that
oher cities than Jacksonville had
been approached with view to max
ing the most advantageous arrange
ments from every standpoint.
1t is understood that some mem
bers of the athletic council believe
that since Jacksonville is to be the
scene of the Florida-North Carolina
game thet any other post season con-
test that might be arranged be play
ed on some other field 1t is also
understood that Tampa, which always
turns out a tremendous crowd for a
good football attraction, has made a
hattering offer for permission to
stage the contest there. No word
had been received here tonight of
Vanderbilt's decision other than the
Associated Press dispatch.

Orlando, Nov. 29-That Lena
Clarke was insane and did not know
the difference between right and
wrong at the time she shot to death
F. A. Miltimore, that she is what is
known as a constitutional psychic
path and that if she were sent to an
asylum or hospital for the insane she
would remain there for the rest of
her life constituted the opinion of
DR.. Ralph Green, former state offic-
ial while testifying as to the sanity
of the former West Palm Beach post
mistress here today.
Referring frequently to a paper
written in the cell of the defendant
during his Investigations DR.. Green
occupied the stand for more than an
hour and half and told of the wo-
mans pecularities and the deduc-
tions he had made based on his long
experience with patients suffering
from mental and nervous troubles.
He recited the stages of her early
childhood from the age of nine
months when she learned to walk
and to talk at the age of one year
and of a blow from a we'll handle
which had fractured her skull when
she was but three years old; of the
diseases including scarlet fever, dem
que fever and influenza, also a ner-
vous breakdown she had once suf-
fered; of an attempt made to kidnap
her at an early age; of fireworks
display which had left her with fixed
dread of fire, though it fascinated her
to such an extent that she wanted to
walk straight into it.

An abnormal fear of water had
been peculiar to her also all her life,
he found on investigation and the
fact that she mad never Deen permit
ted to sleep alone due to periodic
attacks of nightmare, was spoken of
by him and testified to also by her
sister, Miss Maude Clarke.
Of her religious belief he found
that "she took the best out of every
creed and religion and applied it to
her own life"
He recited the ideas peculiar to
her case that she imagined she had

at her and sending her threatening

What he termed as gradiose ideas,
the belief that she had passed
through number of lives before the
one she lived pointed to the fact
that she was unbalanced.
In his investigations he stated
that she had made blood test seek

said that her blood had tested pure

defendant, took the stand and testi-
fed as to her intimate knowledge of
her sisters eccentricities. The de-
fendant spent one new years night

ATTACK ON HUSBAND
Will Devote All Her
Energies to Clearing
Own Name

Poughkeepsie, N, Y, Nov, 20
Abandonment of the counter attack
upon the conduct of James A. Still
man by Mrs. Ann U. Stillman, in the
divorce proceedings instituted by the
New York banker was forecast to-
night after adjournment of a one
day hearing before referee Gleason.
Mrs. Sti(lman, it was said, proba-
bly, would not call any more witness
es in support of charge that her hus-
band was guiltyq of misconduct with
Florence H. Leeds, former Broadway
chorus girl. Future testimony it
was explained would be devoted to
defending Mrs. Stillman and the pa
ternity of Guy Stillman, whom Mr..
Stillman seeks to have adjudged il
legitimate.
Counsel for Mr.. Stillman announc-
ed several times that the banker
would not contest evidence touching
upon his own behavior.
Testimony at today's hearing was
understood to have set forth that Mr..
and Mrs. Stillman and two of their
children stayed at a suite in the st.
Regis hotel New York for two weeks
during February, 1918, nine months
before the birth of Guy Stillman. 1t
was said to have been brought out
that Fred Beauxuvais, the Indian
guide employed by the Stillmans and
named correspondent in the bankers
complaint was a gust at the hotel
during that time.

he declared he would not invest a
cent in any county where roads were
permitted to remain in such condi-
ton. Mr.. Blake said that Putnam
is losing many times the interest on
an adequate bond issue every year by
its failure to provide roads.
H. NJ. Fearnside stressed the i'm
portance of completion of the Cres-
cent City road and made a motion,
which passed, that a special commit
tee be appointed to investigate and
see why the road is not finished. He
was informed that contract is now
pending between the county and the
state road board whereby the state
will take over the road and push it
to completion.
Neal Kirkman told of contracts
which have already been let for the
construction of culverts and bridges

New York, Nov. 29-Weakened by
lack of nourishment due to a malady
of the stomach, DR.. Adolpf Lorenz,
the noted Austrian surgeon, tainted
three tines today while attending
patients in his charity clinic here.
Then after recovering from the
succession of collapses which took
place within a few minutes of each
other, the famous specialist, deaf to
the pleadings of his American col
leagues, insisted upon going to an
other hospital where new scores of
poor people were clamoring for his
ministrations.
Later in the day, and with the ut
most reluctance, DR.. Lorenz yielded
to the arguments of the physician
