THE MORNING OREGOXIA. Fit TP AY, FEBRUARY 9, 1912- OREGON III EAGER FOR FRAY Guardsmen Ask That State Be Given Allotment if Troops Go to Mexico. BORDER TROUBLES STIR Adjalant-Crneral Flnwr Telejrraph Senator Chamberlain Asking That He Insist Oregon Receive) lnll Apportionment. Associated Preae dispatches announc ing that preparations are belntf made by the Department of Texas, fnited Ftates Army, for possible mobilization of 100.40 men. revived the Interest of Orecon National Guardsmen In the Mexican situation. which they have been watchlnr with the keenest Inter est. In the. event an army of 100.000 men la mobilized the bulk of the force will have to come from the mobile portion nf the National Guard of the country. While dlsvatches have Indicated that aucb troops could not be used except In event of Invasion, the fact remains that the new military laws set out that tha Guard may also be used to -uphold the Itwi of the land." which ran be (riven a very broad Interpreta tion In event of need, so prominent of ficers of both the Regular Army and National Guard assert. Onf Tropa Ready to Serve. Two telegrams have been sent out from local National Guard headquar ters citing the spirit of willingness for any service that may be required by the Government that Is felt anion tha Oregon troops. The first was from , the National Guard Association meet ing at Dallas. Last night Adjutant General Flnxer telegraphed Senator Chamberlain, asking him to Insist that Oregon receive a full apportionment of troops In event a mobile army of 100, (00 Is called to tha border. Although dispatches refer to J4.000 regulars aa ready to take the tic Id. It Is known that no such mobile force ronld be mustered by the War De partment. Allowing; for tba heavy heavy forces now on foreign duty and deducting tha details that would have to be left behind to guard the var loua garrisons, officers of the United Mates Army stationed In Portland yes terday expressed the doubt If a force larger than 30.000 regulars could be put on tha border. This, should Interven tion aver become necessary, would be totally Insufficient. rlaaa All Varke4 oat. Aside from a full aet of Instruc tions on Just how to prepare to mob ilise and take the Held In case of a rail, no advices bearing on the pres ent mobilisation have ben received by Adjutant-General Flnxer. It Is known, however, that all plans have been worked out at Washington for mobilisation of the entire mobile portion of the organised militia. This fait was ascertained by one of the senior officers of the local Guard, who recently re turned from the capital, where he was .called on business relating to the lo cal troops. That serloua concern over the situa tion In Mexico waa felt In the War Itepartment waa reported by the aame officer. This was before the present series of outbreaka occurred, the con cern being based on reports of Gov ernment agenta operating In Mexico. While It is still far from certain that there will bt any moblllxatlon of National Guard troops. Oregon Guards men, nevertheless, are preparing them selves to meet the call should it come. At National Guard headquarters the of fice force worked late Into last night, the explanation being made that af fairs were merely being gotten Into shape for a call, although such an event was hardly looked for. at least nut at the present time. Third aad Barter A May Ve. The Third Keglment and Battery A would go out should the War Depart ment' plan for mobilising 100.000 men be put into execution. Oregon's allot ment would easily cover those two eommanda and might give additional room for the recruiting up of the or ganization to war strength. There are TaO men now In the 11 companies of the Third Ileglment and the addi tion of another company, as required by regulations, would give at least SsS men. Battery A would go out with ISO men. The Coast Artillery Corps has eight companies, stationed mostly In Southern 'Oregon towns, and would not be mobilised under an order for 100.000 men. These troops, fully equipped, could be mobilized at the station mobiliza tion grounds within 4 hours and could entrain within a week. The battery would have to be fitted out with horses, which would cause It a delay of two days In getting started. All Oregon troope are fully equipped with tentage. quartermaster, commissary, ordnance, medical and other field necessities.

KENNEL JUDGE NAMED PORTLAND CLUB ARRANGES FOU COMING DOG SHOW. Prospect Are Promising for Hold ing Airedale Futurity in This City. .Many Entries Are Expected. At the fourth meeting of the Port land Kennel Club, held last night in the Electric building, several Impor tant subjects were decided In connec tion with the forthcoming show to be held here April S to C. inclusive, among them being the selection of Dr. Henry Jarrett. of Philadelphia, aa the Judge. Dr. Jarrett has Judged shows at Bos ton. New York. Newport. Pittsburg and Philadelphia and haa Just been select ed for the Westminster Kennel Club's 36th annual show In New York, on February 20. one of the leading events in the dog world, having an exhibit of 1100 dogs. In spite of Seattle's effort to get the Airedale Futurity Show held there for the first time, prospects of Portland having the honor are bright, for In addition to being the most central lo cation, aeveral prominent owners of Airedales are atrongly In favor of this city, while the appointment of Dr. Jar rett aa Judge here will Influence many. "This Is the first time thst he has ever been West." aald a prominent dog fancier, "and the mere fact ol hla not knowing a single entry here will give the Portland show the preference over all others, where the Judges are local men who have seen the animals In question on more than one occasion, and. without meaning to do so, bave made up their minds almost before the show has been opened." Three or four sites at which to hold the ahow were discussed, with no final decision, though It waa definitely de cided that the location will be In the business center. The trophies to be presented will be of sterling sliver, as the city merchanta have subscribed munificently to the fund. The club, which is now entirely out of debt, hopes to make thia ahow a five-point one. In other words, to reach an entry of 400 dogs. Last year the entries numbered 2S0, Seattle Having the only live-point ahow In the North west, but should the Airedale Society decide, as Is expected, to hold Its first Tuturtty stake here, there la little doubt that Portland will draw level with Its rival in the number of exhibits.

"unseen empire of finance," In lt control over affairs of Europe and the practice of ruleri In continuing; to contract war debts, were arraigned by David Starr Jordan, pres ident of Stanford University In an ad dress to the Undent body here today. Dr. Jordan declared that a European war Is not imminent on account of the destruction of credit which would entail loss to financiers, who, he de clares, control the affairs of the Eu ropean nations. "The financial rulers of this 'unseen empire' work together," he said. "Whatever loans they make. In their hands. Is the peace of Europe and they will see that Europe keeps the peace. A rreat European war would mean only the destruction of credit, and. as th credit of the world Is their stock In trade, the emperors of finance will see to It that no petty King; or Min ister shall Imperil their holdings." Dr. Jordan declared that since the battle of Waterloo the Rothschilds have been the actual rulers of Europe and that the European nations are so In debt to them that It will be Impossi ble ever to pay them off. BIG DELEGATION WANTED Plana Afoot to Hare Many Attend Tacoma Immigration Meet, Efforts are being; made by the Port land Commercial Club to obtain a large delegation from Oregon to attend the Pacific Northwest Immigration Conven tion to be held In Tacoma. February Jl and 22. at which the means for North western cities to arrange for the In creased Immigration which will follow the opening of the Panama Canal will be considered. Governor West will head the list from Oregon, and others prominent In the af fairs of tha state probably will decide to go. C C Chapman,' of the Commer cial Club. Is making arrangements for the Oregon delegation. That the immigration problem will be of great importance is the opinion of those who are Investigating and who have called the convention. It is thought the canal by opening a shorter and cheaper route for the people of Europe to the western part of the United States will Increase the Immi gration of all classes. The plan Is to foTm an organization to take charge of Immigrants and assist them in get ting atarted In this country. Efforts will be made to obtain only the bcf.tr class of farmers who can be tauKht the methods of farming In the North west and can be made valuable citizens to assist in the development of the vast agricultural sections. SLEUTHS If BAD ODOR LICENSE COMMITTEE WOULD REVOKE PAIR'S PERMIT. Police Chief Reports Pacific Agency Is Suspicious and Sergeant Says It Is Swindle. Following; the expose of the Paclflo Detective Agency, In the Swetland building, by Chief of Police Slover and Detective Sergeant Smith, the City Council committee on licenses, yester day afternoon recommended "the revo cation of Its license. Furthermore, It la the Intention of the members of the committee to check up carefully on all auch agencies, with the object of ascer taining whether they are doing a legit imate business. When License Inspector McEachern Investigated to see whether the Paciflo Detective Agency had taken out a li cense for this quarter, he found that it had not. and it In likely that he will swear out a complaint against the proprietors, men named Wood and Smith, but whose Initials are unob tainable, according to the police. They will be arrested for conducting their business without a license. The license committee ruled that the two men can bave a hearing at the next meeting if they choose. Chief Slover wrote the committee a letter, setting forth that the agency named had been giving his department a good deal of trouble of late, and that he did not believe the men operating It were doing a legitimate business. He therefore asked revocation of the license. Detective Sergeant Smith told the members of the committee that the proprietors of the agency had been "skinning suckers" by charging them as high as 1S0 for a badge and papers purporting to give them the right to do detective work and to ahow them how to do such work. After first ob taining this money, reported Sergeant Smith, the victims would be kicked out and new ones sought. Councllmen Dunning, Monks. Clyde and Schmeer. constituting the commit tee voted unanimously to revoke tba license. They also voted against li censing any dancing schools or dance halls, the policy of the Council being opposed to this since the department of public safety for young women went on record, through Mrs. Lola G. Bald win, Its chief, against the public dance. The committee also recommended passage of the measure proposed by the Portland Realty Board to do away with "crooked" dealers in that line. It licenses all dealers and requires li censes for every agent or operative of a company, that the city may keep check on all who are selling real es tate. Only those owning property are allowed under its provisions to dis pose of It without license. Y. M. C. A.
