ARMS BORNE TO SEE HOME Eleven Austrian Vlio Return Must Join Soldiery. Preferring to serve three yesrs in the Austrian army rather than remain In America In opposition to the will of Emperor Francis Joseph, 11 natlres of Austria who have been in America for periods ranging from six to 12 years. purchased transportation to Trieste, yes terday at the local office of the North western Hallway. They departed last night for New York, where they will sail for their native country. The men have been employed In rail road construction work In Oregon for a number of years, and cannot return without giving three years to the mili tary service of Austria. Their desire to visit their old homes, being greater than their objection to serve in the army, they will report for duty. They left Austria without the usual government transports which are not granted to men who have not per formed military semice. Peter Hadovich, who acted as spokes man for the party, said It was the In tention of nearly all the men to return to America after they had completed their military terms.

INSURGENCY RIFE WTH DEMOCRATS Clark Faces Troubles Like Cannon's. TRUE REFORM IS DEMANDED "Uncle Joe" Will Aid in Move ment to Revise Rules. AUTOCRATIC POWER TO GO Democratic Control Does Xot Mean Repetition of Experiences of Daj9 of Crisp Individual Is Greater Factor. OREGO.VUN NEWS BUREAU, Wash lngton, Nov. 22. If the Democratic lead ers In the new House of Representatives are not extremely careful in mapping out their plan of action, they will de velop a Democratic Insurgency quite as numerous and quite as troublesome as the Republican Insurgent band that caused so much trouble In the past two sessions of Congress. And the very same Issue that gave birth to Republican In surgency threatens to split the Demo cratic majority in the next House unless precautions are taken to avoid giving offense to those Democrats who are In cllned to "lnsurge." In the present House of Representa tives, the Insurgent movement grew out of dissatisfaction with the House rules and displeasure at the power arrogated by Speaker Cannon. The Insurgents were partially successful In their attack upon the rules and upon the Speaker because they had the practical unani mous support of the Democratic minor ity. When the new House organises, the Democratlo majority must choose a Speaker and adopt a new set of rules. It Is at this point that the Democracy will face the crisis that will determine whether or not the majority of the next House Is to work in harmony or in dis cord. Clark's Work Cut Out. Undoubtedly a great many Democratic Representatives who Joined with the In surgents In the last House to amend the rules and curtail the power of the Speaker did so. not because of any sin cere belief in the necessity for changing the rules, but because they wanted to embarrass the Republicans and make an issue on which to fight in the cam paign. Others among them, however, were firmly convinced that the rules should be amended, that the powers of the Speaker should be curtailed and that the Individual member should become a greater factor in the House than he couid be under the Reed rules. It Is this latter .element that threat ens to make trouble In the Democratic House unless the leaders take virtually the same position with regard to the rules and the Speaker that was assumed by the Republican Insurgents in the two past sessions. Representative Hay, of Virginia, and Representative Henry, of Texas, two influential Democrats, are conspicuous by reason of their advocacy of reform in the House rules. They are opposed to the election of Champ Clark as Speaker unless Clark, as Speaker, will maintain exactly the same position on these, questions that he took when he was co-operating with the Republican Insurgents. If Clark pursues a consist ent course, all woll and good; Hay and Henry, and those Democrats who believe with them, will give him their support Their fight is not on the man. but on the principle. Insurgent Spirit Grows. Possibly Champ Clark mighfc-he elected Speaker, even though he changed his position on the question of rules. It Is within the bounds of possibility that a majority of the Democrats would suppurt him In caucus, even though lie refused to comWt himself, or even declared that the Democratlo Speaker should have the same power enjoyed by Speaker Cannon and his Republican predecessors. But If Clark is nominated and elected under any such circumstances, he will have Concluded on Page 2.) YESTERDAY BY MAYOR SIMON. . St-' 'vt:-L':fi:''J -if i f- ;-sr .- - i. t F. W.

EXECUTION DAY MOST DISMAL Crowds,- Including Women, Wit in Fog as Noose Kills. ETHEL LENEVE TO DEPART Typist of Criminal Engages Passage on Ship for 'ev York His tory of Dentist's Crime Most Sensational in Annals. IONDON. Nov. 23. Dr. Hawley Crippen aj hanged at 9:02 A. H. 51. toia in the yard of the Pentonvlllo prison. The morning of the day set for Dr. Crlppen's execution afforded the gloom iest possible setting. A dense fog over hung the city and traffic was at a stand still. At 8:30 o'clock the official expectation was that the hanging would take place about 9. The fog completely enwrapped the walls of the prison, where small groups of loungers of the lowest class, among whom were women, were silently awak ing the tidings of the hangman. Priest by His Side. Father ' Carey, who has been much with Crippen at Pentonvllle, remained at the prisoner's side throughout the night and accompanied him to the scaf fold. The hoisting of a grim black flag, which was seen as it shot to its place through a rift In the fog, announced to the crowd in the streets that Dr. Crip pen was dead. Dr. Crippen was called at an early hour. He dressed himself and an nounced himself ready some time be fore the hour fixed upon for the exe cution. The last few minutes of the con demned man's life were spent in the company of Father Carey, from whom h8 received the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church. Executioner Ellis carefully pinioned Crlppen's arms to his side and the pro cession set out for the scaffold, which was but a few yards away. The priest walked alongside of the condemned man, solemnly chanting the burial service. Wlthin'a few minutes the sentence of the court had been carried out. Crip pen met his fate with bravado, walking firmly to the scaffold. The announcement of the execution from the prison was accompanied by the official statement that Dr. Crippen made no statement of confession what ever before being hanged. Ethel Leneve. Crlppen's typist, has booked passage on the steamship Majes tic, which sails from Southampton for New York tomorrow. Case Most Sensational. The execution of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen in London today completed the criminal records of one of the most sensational of recent murder cases. Crippen, slight in figure, was just past 50 years old. He was born in Michigan, and after studying medicine. practiced In the United States and Can ada. In 1906 he married Cora Mac kamotski, of Brooklyn, a vaudeville actress whose stage namo was Belle Elmore. They removed to Iondon, where Crippen engagod in dental man ufacture. Soon there was domestic infelicity. due, Crippen alleged, to the attentions his wife received from men. Then Clara Leneve, a prepossessing woman, 27 years old, entered Crlppen's employ as a typist, tone sympatnizea wun tne doctor and the two fell in love. Mean time Crippen and his wife were es tranged. Nearly a year ago. Miss Leneve, feel ing her position keenly, became im patient with the situation. About the same time the doctor was n need of money. Mrs. Crippen dis appeared suddenly last February. Her husband inserted death notice in tho papers , saying she had succumbed to an Illness while visiting in California. Woman's Body Found. Actress friends of Mrs. Crippen per suaded Scotland Yard to make an in vestigation and the police officials In terviewed Crippen July 12. He threw the police. off the scent but on the fol lowing day fled from London In com pany with Miss Leneve, who was dis guised as a boy. Subsequently their presence on board the steamer Montrose was known to Scotland Yard through wireless mes sages, and as the Montrose was ap proaching Quebec Crippen and Miss Leneve were arrested. This was on July 31. In the meantime the police had vis ited the Crippen home in Hildrop Cres cent and in the cellar unearthed parts of a woman's body. The medical ex perts who examined these were never able anatomically to prove that they were from the body of Belle Elmore. Nevertheless, the Jury that heard the Crippen case was satisfied that they were. Miss Leneve was indicted and charged as an accessory after the fact, hut was. acquitted. r.
