RUSSIANS WANT VOICE AT CONFERENCE
SENATE CONSIDERING SHIP SUBSIDY PROVISIONS
CANADIANS STAMPEDING TO GOLD STRIKE IN ARCTIC
SHIPPING BILL OPPONENTS
LOSE AND WIN IN SENATE
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 28—
Opponents of the administration ship
subsidy bill centered an attack today
on a provision of the bill creating
a merchant marine fund for the
payment direct, of Government aid
to American ship owners. After a
debate, an amendment was adopted
reserving to Congress the right to
designate the annual amount to be
expended from the fund.
Another amendment struck out a
provision directing the permanent
appropriation of moneys in the fund.
V Source Of Opposition
MILWAUKEE. Nov. 28—British
and other foreign shipping interests
and journals are engaged in a
studied campaign of misrepresenta
tion and propaganda in an effort to
defeat the American ship subsidy
bill, according to Edward C. Plum
mer, commissioner of the U. S.
Shipping Board, who addressed the
Middle West Merchant Marine con
ference here today. These interests,
he declared, are alarmed over the
possibility that American ships will
take the 68 per cent of foreign ex
^ ports now carried by foreign ships.
These foreign interests, he pointed
out, are arousing every possible
means to discourage the upbuilding
of a merchant marine in this coun
try. He 'eelared that every sort of
discrimination is practised against
American ships engaged in foreign
trade, but when Americans suggest
doing a little discrimination in favor
of their own vessels, British inter
% ests declare that the United States
is trying to create a monopoly.
OLDT1MER SAYS HE FOUND
ALASKA LOST ROCKER MINE
SEATTLE. Nov. 28—Jug Morri
son, an oldtime Colorado mining
mar., declares that he has re-dis
covered the Lost Rocker mine, at
the headwaters of Farragut river,
22 miles from Petersburg. He lo
cated claims along four miles of
the stream and says it took him
six weeks to make a trail to the
old Russian mining camp. He found
enough coarse gold to warrant con
siderable expenditure for dams and
sluices, which he will build next
season.
Morrison claims he found the re
mains of an old stone cabin, a dam
and a rocker used by the Russians
75 years ago. He has just returned
from the search for the diggings,
after an absence of several months.
OREGON TEAM WANTS NAME
EUGENE, ORE., Nov28—Univer
sity of Oregon’s football team
wants a name and suggestions are
being heard from all parts of the j
oampus here. Sonmeone thought j
the “Pioneers” would be a good
name and many seem to like it. ]
The name “Pioneer,” it is claim-;
ed. would be fitting, for Oregon
is a Pioneer state and the Univer-!
sity is a Pioneer among western
^ institltions of higher learning.
Oregon is the only Pacific Coast
Conference team without a nick-1
name. The Washington eleven an
swers to the name of “Huskies,”
■Washington State has the “Cougar,”
the Oregon Agricultural College
team calls itself the “Aggies.” over
at Idaho they call the team the
^■"Vandalls;” Stanford has the “Car
dinals,” California the “Bears,” and
at Southern California the football'
men are the '"Trojans.”

! day and struggle for victory in their
I annual football game. The Army
I won, 17 to 14.

ic ret e stand of the University of
Pennsylvania, but when the game
started all of the seats were occu
pied by the heavily w*rapped en
thusiasts. Secretary of the Navy
Denby and Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt were early in their places
! in the north stand. Behind them
were Vice President Coolidge, who
i attended as representative of the
| President, and Secretary of War
1 Weeks. General Pershing occupied a
I box in the south stand.
The army cadets marched on the
field first, led by the gray clad mule
that seemed to be frightened almost
to death by the crashing of the big
brass band and the terrific cheering
that greeted the West Pointers. They
marched around the field and then
took seats in the south stand.
Ten minutes later the blue clad
! middies entered the great arena
i amid the applause of the assembled
j thousands and to the inspiring strain
j of their band music. The sailors,
j 2,300 of them, marched down the
I field, wheeled to the left and took
: seats in the north stand. The Navy
| goat of the team was last to ap
pear and he was greeted by a great
cheer as the two gobs led him down
| the field.

MANY GERMANS LEAVE HOME
TO LOCATE IN NEW LANDS
1 HAMBURG, Nov. 2S-—“Wander
I lust" is again stirring noticeably in
| the German breast. During the first
'half of 1922 there was an increase
of 48 percent over the same period
last year in the number of nationals
setting' out for new residences in
foreign lands. But whence they have
gone the records disclose in part
only.
Germans to the number of 11,287
sailed from German and Dutch ports
during this period on bookings other
than first or second class The out
ward trek in the first semester of
1921 totalled 7.592. During the se
cond half of last year there was an
exodus of 15,662. Of this year’s em
igrants nearly 5,000 were women.
Hamburg contiues the most fav
ored point of exit, with Bremen se
cond. Of 140 who sailed from Am
sterdam up to July, 93 were bound
! for South America and 47 for New
| Orleans, Mexico, and Cuba. Last
year the first six months saw 2,785
bid the continent goodbye from this
port, the unusual decrease being re
garded as indicative of the lessing
of German shipping. Most of the
emigrants chose April, May, and
June to start on their travels.
Prussia led the individual contri- j
buting source with a total of 5,666, ]
of whom 966 were from Hanover,
913 from Berlin, 832 from Rhine- j
land, and 112 from Upper Silesia.

states and provinces was Bavaria,
whence 1,625 went abroad.
