THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER G, 1909. ZELAYA THEME OF SPEGIAL MESSAGE President and Secretary Knox Have Consultation on Nica raguan Affairs. DECISIVE BATTLE COMING Revolutionist Representative Is In formed General Estrada leaves Bluefields for Engagement. Federals Short of Supplies. PRESIDENT ZELAYA PREPARES TO DECAMP. NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 3. Accord in to private reports received to day from Managua. President Ze-Ia-& has made all arrangements to leave Nicaragua with his family on the first steamer sailing from Corinto. The report Is discredited by persons here who claim to be tn close touch with Zelaya. WASHINGTON". Dec. 5. President ' Taft tonight called Secretary Knox into consultation at the White House and the report immediately spread that the topic under discussion was a special message to Congress on the imbroglio with Nicaragua. Neither the President nor Mr. Knox would say anything of the conference. It is regarded as likely, however, that the Nicaraguan matter was discussed, and it is also intimated that the discus sion took the form of outlining a policy that will cover all Central American countries. So far as actual news was concerned, the day was uneventful. The State Department received no advices, accord ing to a statement made late tonight, while the Navy Department likewise was without fresh information. Decisive Battle Coming. Senor Salvator Castrlllo. representa tive here of the insurrectionary forces under General Katrada. president of the Provisional government, received a message tonight that General Estrada has left Bluefields and has taken the field. A decisive battle, the dispatch continued, is Imminent in the vicinity of Rama. It Is believed, in view of the reported desertions from Zelaya's ranks, that this fight may determine the war. Re ports here are that Zelaya's men are short of ammunition and are in need of food. The Central American junta, com posed of diplomats and patriots from the five turbulent little re bublics on the neck of land be tween Tucatan and South America, is one of the latest acquisitions of the Capital of the United States; while it has been meeting regularly ever since Secretary Knox sent his famous letter to President Zelaya, of Nicaragua, tell ing him to be good, it lias managed to shroud itself in mystery. Junta Gets Information. The junta is the clearing-house for II information that leaks unofficially from Nicaragua, and the diplomats have framed up a half-dozen new alignments of the five republics, each with a view to the equitable distribution of the "baiance of power." Among the members of the junta who daily gather at the appointed place are Frederico Mejlo, Minister from Salvador; J. B. Calvo. Minister from Costa Rica; Luis Toledo Herrarte. Minister from Guatemala: Luis Lazes Arriago, Minis ter from Honduras, and Luis F. Corea. ex-Minister from Nicaragua. In addition to this distinguished group, there are Lou 13 Adderson, ex-MInister of Foreign Relations, of Costa Rica; Senor Don Luis Felipe Carlo, Minister of Ecua dor: Dr. Salvatore Castrlllo, special agent here for the Nicaraguan insurgents; Ani dal Cruz. Minister from Chile, and a score of attaches from the various Latin American legations. Debates are carried on in Spanish. Secretary Knox's letter to Zelaya has been read and re-read by the diplomats until practically every member of the junta has committed it to memory. Around the few guarded expressions of the letter the debate in the junta has raced, each member entertaining a dif ferent view of the State Departmnfs in tentions. -MORE SUIPS TO SAIL SOUTH 1'fiiladelpliia Navy-Yard Becomes Active oil Orders.

Gl'XBOAT OFF FOfi NICARAGUA Princeton Under Rush Orders to ' Corinto to Join Vlcksbnrg. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 5. The gun boat Princeton sailed for Corinto, Nica ragua, this afternoon, after loading coal and stores off California City. The Princeton Is under orders to proceed to Corinto with all possible speed, and join the Vlcksburg. now in that harbor. Sailing was delayed because of the late arrival of the gunboat from Bremerton Navy-Tard, Washington, due to heavy weather. The Princeton was ordered to the coaling station at California City, instead of going up the bay to Mare Isl and, and stores and ammunition were put aboard from lighters to expedite its sailing.

FLIGHT MINUTE AND HALF TnYentor Makes Three-Quarters of Mile at Rapid Clip Machine 4 0 Feet Long, 450 Pounds. Test at Eureka. EUREKA, Cal., Dec. 5. (Special.) In a monoplane driven by a 25-horse motor and pulled by 6-foot propeller, with 265 feet of supporting surface, Blain Selvage, a young man of Eureka, recently made a flight of three-quarters of a mile in a minute and a half. One fence was cleared twice. The ma chine traveled twenty feet above the ground and made almost a complete circle. A scarcity of gasoline pre vented a longer flight. Selvage never exhibited any particular mechanical genius until this attempt at construct ing an aeroplane. The Selvage monoplane Is construct ed of stout spruce wood for the frame, steel wires for the braces, and stout canvas for the wings and the horizon tal and vertical rudders. The machine is forty feet from tip to tip of wing, and fore and aft it measures thirty feet. It weighs 450 pounds. The mo tor is placed forward, the propeller act ing as the flywheel. The motor was constructed in a Eureka automobile garage by Selvage himself. It is of four cylinders and makes 1600 revolu tions a minute. Airship on Wheels. Selvage has his machine upon wheels which are utilized In transporting it pd in gaining headway when arising from the ground. So thoroughly did the young aviator study the plans of his machine that he wrote out an order for the entire material, piece by piece, giving each and every dimension. When he had assembled the parts out one piece was left over. For more than a year Selvage worked on his machine. His plane, in appearance, is more like the Curtis aeroplane than any other. After satisfying himself that the model which he framed in his mind would be a practical aeroplane, Sel vage made a model a little smaller than his present machine. He tied this to the rear of an automobile with a long rope, mounted it and had .the chauffeur open the throttle. The au tomobile went full speed and the aero plane model literally flew. Satisfied that the model was correct and' that the monoplane would be a practical flying machine. Selvage set about to build a motor, in the construction of which several months were utilized. . Test Flight Successful. In the latter part of November Sel vage took the machine to a resort in the outskirts of Eureka and awaited an opportunity to make the test flight. The young man selected an open field which was none too smooth. Just be fore dark, when the air was the heav iest. Selvage took out the machine and In the presence of a few friends and guests of the resort, the aviator made the first real test and the only one that has yet been made. An order for gasoline had not yet been filled and the aviator had but a gallon of gasoline In the tank of the machine. This one gallon was greatly reduced by turinng over the engines so that when the flight was attempted little fuel was left. Selecting the most even stretch of ground Selvage seated himself in the machine and appeared cool as an' old hand at aerial navigation. He opened the throttle and the propeller whistled. The machine shot forward at a merry clip. It began to rock and Selvage shouted "here we go up boys." The monoplane lifted from the ground and soon had gained an elevation of about 20 feet. Selvage then put the vertical rudder hard over, to make the machine circle. At first the vertical rudder was not heeded. Then the machine began to turn gradually and made as prettv a flight as anyone could desire to see. The machine went over a fence into another field and back again over the same fence and into- the field from which it had started. The circle had been two-thirds completed and three quarters of a mile covered when the csMinder began to miss. Knowing that there wa little gasoline in the tank and satisfied with the initial test Sel OF AIRSHIP INVENTED BY CALIFORNIA YOUTH AS IT APPEARS IX FLIGHT AD PHOTOGRAPH OK THE MOXOPLANE IlEfiTIXG OX THE EARTH. vage slowed down the engine and made a pretty descent. Because of inclement weather Sel vage has not' had the monoplane out but once since the initial flight. Inventor to Tour Coast. Selvage intends to leave Humboldt shortly for San Francisco and the bay cities. He Is in receipt of a large number of letters and offers to make exhibition flights. Ventura, Cal., made him an offer to come there, and other California cities have communicated with him relative to making flights at carnivals. Selvage says that he will make an other test flight in Humboldt county before leaving. The grounds and stor ing facilities here are not convenient for him. A big. level field is required for successful flights as the machine Is run along the ground before it rises and when it descends It requires level ground to roll on. The monoplane has three controls managed from the little seat upon which the aviator sits. By working the wings the monoplane is caused to de scend, and the same result can be gained by the horizontal rudder. The vertical rudder is the third control and steers the machine to the right or left. POLES HONOR MARTYRS LOCAL SOCIETY HOLDS MEMOR IAL SERVICES. Soldiers Who Laid Down Lives in War of .1830-31 With Russia Remembered by Countrymen. Polish residents of Portland and vicin ity last night held memorial services in the Zeller-CVIuller Hall at Williams ave nue and Russell street, in honor of the Polish soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the war of 1830-31 between Poland and Russia. A number of addresses were given by prominent citizens of Polish descent. In the principal address of the evening, Thomas Slemlradzki said in part: "This is the 7Sth anniversary of the war of 1830-31. The war started with an insur rection in Warsaw, November 29, 1830. The new kingdom of Poland, which was created by the Congress of Vienna In 1815, and given to Czar Alexander I was a re ward for his share in defeating the great Napoleon, enjoyed at that time a restrict ed constitution, with a diet in Warsaw and a separate Polish army of 30.000. "But this constitution was being vio lated incessantly by the Russian govern ment. In Warsaw resided Grand Duke Constantine, the elder brother of Czar Nicholas I, with dictatorial powers, and he was doing his best to make the writ ten constitution a void sound, without real value. In other parts of old Poland, which were not Included in the new king dom, the Russian despotism was raging to the most exasperating degree. The toe st men in Poland saw that a conflict was inevitable, but they were waiting for the proper time. "In June, 1830. a revolution in France abolished the regime of the Bourbons and put on the throne the younger line of the dynasty, the so-called Orleans, in the per son of Louis Philippe. Czar Nicholas re fused to acknowledge the change, and was contemplating a war against France. He gave secret orders to mobilize a part of his army; the Poles, as the nearest to the western border, were the first to go. Seeing that the Polish army was to be used for a war with France, and, what was worse, to suppress -the will of a liberty-loving nation, the leaders of the na tional movement in Poland decided to pre vent It by turning the army of the Poles against Russia. "The beginning of the outbreak was promising. The Grand Duke Constantine. with a corps of 6000 Russian troops, was forced to an Ignominious retreat, and for two months Poland was. free. A national government . was organized, an army raised, and January 25, 1831, the Polish diet in Warsaw deprived unanimously Czar Nicholas and the whole house of Romanoff of the crown of Poland, which was given them by the Congress of Vienna." EX-CONVICT DOES MURDER Out of Prison Ten Days, He Has "Irresistible Impulse to Shoot." . SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 6. Charles O. Anderson, an ex-convlct from the Peni tentiary at Walla Walla, Wash., was arrested tonight for the murder of Will iam H. Schneider, a bookkeeper who was shot and killed last night, and confessed to the police detectives, who believe he is insane. Anderson was traced by the description given by three men whom he held up and was arrested as he entered the barroom of a hotel. He made no re sistance and confessed to the murder and three holdups as soon as he was placed in jail. . y Anderson said he was released from the Walla Walla prison 10 days ago, and that after holding up tho clerks of two drug stores and a pedestrian last night, he waH attracted by the lights In a Hammam bath establishment where Schneider was employed. He entered the place and said he was "seized with an Impulse to shoot" and killed the bookkeeper at his desk. TIES TIRE EVELYN Questing Spotlight, She Seeks Annulment of Marriage. FINANCES ALSO INVOLVED Former "Angel Child" Declares Her Monthly Allowance Is Minus Dur- - ing Stormy Thanksgiving Visit. Thaw Wants Furniture. NEW TORK. Dec. 5. Speclal.) Evelyn Nesblt Thaw's habit of seeking the spotlight still clings. Since Thanks giving day. when she went to the Mat teawan Asylum to see her husband, she has been talking annulment of her mar riage with much frequency and veher mence. "He's get to do something for me pretty soon," she said, "or I shall cer tainly get my marriage annulled. Since June I have seen mighty little of the color of the weekly allowance of $70 and the monthly check for $200 that I am supposed to get. Why, I have even bad to let my piano go because I couldn't pay the rent on It. I am up to my ears in debt. If I -were free I could earn my own living, but being tied up with a man who promises to take care of me and then doesn't isn't much fun. I shall certatnly have my marriage an nulled soon." Evelyn's Visit Lively. That Thanksgiving day visit of Eve lyn's to her husband in the asylum was provocative of an interesting passage at arms between the two, according to report. Harry greeted his wife affec tionately, taking her hand and then kissing her. She had come only after he had ' written her repeatedly that he wanted to see her. Finally he sent her a touching missive all about the death ot a pet dog of hers, Totoi, which had been left in Pittsburg. This seemed to touch the erstwhile "Angel Child," and she took a train from Ne"w York, ac companied by a man who was at first thought to be her brother, Howard Nes blt. but who, it was learned later, was a New York newspaper man. Almost Immediately after greeting his wife Thaw is said to have made a de mand on her for his furniture. "You must have my furniture crated up and shipped to me here," he said; "my trustees demand it. I am a bank rupt now, you know, and I need my furniture for the benefit of my credi tors." "What sort of an Indian giver are you?" Mrs. Thaw is reported to have inquired. "Most of that furniture I bought myself, and the part you gave me isn't worth the price of carrying it downstairs." Money Matters Mentioned. Here it is told Thaw got angry and said if his wife did not ship that furni ture he would send a Sheriff after it. After that the matter of her allowance was mentioned and the lady indulged in much sarcastic comment on her poverty-stricken-condition, to which her husband is. said to have intimated she knew to whom to go if she really want ed money. After this, the report goes, Evelyn taxed Thaw with some of his ways of spending money. "I know how well fixed you are, bet ter than you do," she Is said to have toid him. "I know that you've been plunging in the stock, market since you've been in this asylum. You used to play the races over the telephone down in Poughkeepsie, and you're doing it now. I want to tell you I know you are supporting a woman in Europe at the present time, and I want my mar riage annulled. "Harry's mind." she afterward de clared, "was In no condition for him to get angry over anything. It was a blank so far as everything but the fur niture was concerned. I left him and came back to New. York. His Condition is not improved, though he looks well and much stronger than he did. I think the time has come for me to hire a lawyer and begin a suit for the an nulment of my marriage on account of the condition of Thaw's mind." SYMPHONY CLUB Y. M. C. A. tonight.

OREGON CITY IN ELECTION FIGHT Hardest Contest in Years Opens at Polls Today. HEAVY VOTE ' ANTICIPATED Dr. W. E. Carll, Present Mayor, JHas Business Man for Opponent in O. " W. Eastham, Who Attacks Carll Administration in Campaign. OREGON CITY, Or.. Dec. 5. (Special.) Probably the hardest fought election iu recent years in this city will take place tomorrow, when O. W. Eaatham, a prom inent btislness man, will endeavor to wrest the office of Mayor from Dr. W. B. Carll, who is a candidate for a third term. Mr. Eastham haa been the aggressor in the fight from start to finish and has placed his opponent strictly upon the defensive, attacking the record of the present administration on street improve ments, and censuring Mayor Carll strong ly for the letter's opposition to the grant ing of a franchise to V. M. Swift, who 13 promoting the construction of an elac 'tric railway from Oregon City to SUverton through the Molalla Valley. The result will be dope and if the snow cleans oft by tomorrow a heavy vote is anticipated. The only other contest for office is in the Second Ward, where Albert Knapp, a local saloonkeeper, ie a candidate for re-election as Councilman. His opponent is Bert Roake, proprietor of the Oregon City foundry. Roake has the support of the church element in the struggle. Knapp Is now president of the Council. The fight for Mayor, however, pales Into insignificance in comparison with the hue and cry that has been raised over the attempt of Dr. M. C. 8trickland, M. D. Phillips, D. C. Baker and others to accomplish the removal of the historic home of Dr. John McLoughlin from the public square at the edge of the bluff overlooking the city, where it was placed a few months ago through the efforts of the McLoughlin Memorial Association. Unknown persons yesterday issued an anonymous letter condemning McLoughlin for marrying a equaw and for being a British subject and Indulging in strong personalities. This letter has created a Sreat deal of excitement and unfavorable comment and has really made votes for the party that is trying to preserve the building from destruction. The polls will be open from 9 A. M. to 7 P. M. -and much Interest is being taken in the outcome. FIVE CITIES TO ELECT TODAY Linn County Sees Several Fights for Municipal Places. ALBANY. Or.. Dec. 5. (Special.) Five Linn County cities will hold municipal elections tomorrow. Sodaville. Sweet Home and Scio will elect a full comple ment of city officers. Albany will elect a Mayor. Recorder. Treasurer, Chief of Poice and- three Councilmen. Lebanon will choose a Mayor, Recorder and Treas urer and three Councilmen. In this city the only fight of moment for a city office is the content for Chief of Police but two measures of civic im portance on the ballot are attracting con siderable attention and may bring out a big vote. The candidates for Chief of Police are Fred Ries, the present Incum bent, and I. A. Munkers, an ex-Sheriff of Linn County, who has recently been serving as Deputy Sheriff and who was one of Linn County's Representatives in the last Legislature. Aside from the contest between Ries and Munkers, the liquor ordinance is attract ing the most attention in tomorrow's elec tion. Last March the Council passed an ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor In Albany and it was referred to the peo ple by referendum petition. This is the first election since that time so the people will either approve or reject the proposi tion tomorrow. A vote on the proposi tion to bond the city for J40.000 to build a City Hall, will "be asked. MILWAUKIE ELECTS TODAY Only One Ticket in Field Vote on Bond Issue. The annual election of Milwaukle will be held today. Only one ticket is in the field and the present Mayor holds over for another year. Chief interest centers 'in the amend ments to the city charter. At this elec tion an amendment to provide for issuing improvement bonds will be decided. If It carries Milwaukie may proceed with the construction of a sewer system and the improvement of the streets. The new provision will permit property owners to bond their property and make deferred payments the same as Is done in Portland. If the amendment carries it is proposed to undertake Improvements the ensuing year that will cost about $75,000. Scott's Addition, a new territory on the north side of the present city boundary lines, will probably be voted Into the city. This addition has .been partly covered with new dwellings the past year. The election will make no material change in the policy pursued by Mayor Streib the past year, which has been to encourage general improvements. FARMER lll BUNCO MIX (Continued From First Page.) ting agent for a number of the owners of racing stables, who had framed an agree ment concerinng the horses which were to win In the various events carded at the California tracks. He assured Dick mrfTi that he possessed confidential ad vance information ns to what horse was to win, and that if he had. the money he "could clean up a hatful in a day." Dugan piloted Dickman and Thomas to the rear of a San Francisco cigar store, where they found the bookmakers at work. On information furnished by the tout. Dugan, the Oregon farmfcr and Thomas won a few dollars. Then they retired to talk it over, and both Dick man and Thomas convinced themselves that the $10fl0 which Dickman carried for his prospective bride could be easily in creased to a dowry of J2000 or more. Thomas bet the entire amount on a horse that won but Dickman . was in formed by the gang that he could not obtain the funds until next day because the banks had closed." He agreed to al low Thomas to draw the winnings the following morning. Thomas, instead of turning the money over to Dickman reported that he had bet It on another race, and lost the money, by becoming confused in the names of the horses, two of the runners having similar names. More Money Needed.

Dickman assented and the cripple accom panied him back to Oregon. , One week from the date of cashing the first draft on the Ladd & Tillton Bank. Dickman reappaared before the Banker Thornton and negotiated a loan of $1000. saying he had a sure investment in the city by the Golden Gate. As he received the money Thomas, the cripple, again took Dickman in charge and did not let him out of his sight until San Francisco was visited the second time. Scratch Costs $1000. Thomas and Dickman were guided to the same resort by Dugan, who told them to "bet the bundle on horse No. 9," in the last race containing 9 horses. They followed instructions, but before the race was run two horses were scratched and there was no ninth horse "running for Sweeney," said the book maker. Thomas complained vehemently, as did Dugan, but the obdurate "book ies" refused to return the money. Dickman was chagrined Over losing the wedding present he had set aside and he was easily persuaded to return again to Wilsonvllle to mortgage his farm for $3000 that he might recoup his losses. Banker Thornton had grown sus picious of young farmer Dickman's "investments," however, and shut off his credit to protect him. Seeing that the situation looked bad for him, Thomas, the cripple, disappeared. But the gang of "bunco" men was unwill ing to abandon such a fruitful field, and In a few days Dickman received a letter signed "Blgelow," asking Dick man to meet the writer in Seattle. He was told he would be given an opportunity to regain the lost $2000. Dickman went to the Seattle address, but failed to meet any of the swind lers who had mulcted him in Cali fornia. Blgelow wanted to sell him a restaurant, but Dickman failed to make the purchase. When seen last night at Wilsonvllle Dickman confirmed the story of his experience. He said: "I think I can recognize Thomas and if any of the men who swindled me are arrested, I will appear against them." Dickman lives two miles north of Wilsonville and 18 miles south of Port land. . Thomas. the prime mover of the "bunco" game, is described as being about 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing about 200 pounds. He is between S and 60 years of age. Dugan, the tout, is described as small and consumptive-looking with crooked and protrud ing front teeth In the upper jaw. WRITER CONFESSES ALL OREGON' CITY LAWYER SAYS HE WROTE ATTACK. John W.
