2 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1913. CABINET STANDS BY WILSON IN POLICY Hint Given That "Financial Isolation" Is Relied On to Bring Huerta to Time. EUROPE KEPT INFORMED XJftin of Embargo on Arms Still XTndcr Consideration, but Belief Is This in End May Be Found Unnecessary. " WASHINGTON; Nov. ll. President Wison's Cabinet stands firmly behind Mm in his efforts to force the retire ment of Provisional President Huerta as a necessary step to the pacification cf Mexico. For more than two hours the Cabinet discussed today every phase of the Mexican situation. The concensus of opinion was that the United States should not take a single backward step in its programme to re Hore constitutional government In Mexico. It became known that all the sec retaries favored, steps which would convince Huerta that the United States was in earnest in its demands. Some of the Cabinet members recognized in tlie lifting- of the embargo on arms a practical and perhaps early solution of the difficulty, but there was no final decision on the point. Other Influences at Work. There is a hope on the part of the President and Secretary Bryan that a measure so radical as permitting ex hortations of arms may not be re quired to solve the problem. Influences are at work, which, in the opinion of many oficials, may force the early col lapse of the Huerta regime. There Is a closer understanding and more fro (jiiciit communication between the State Department here and foreign govern ments generally than has been in evi dence at any time since the Mexican problem came so widely International. Through ambassadors abroad and through the diplomatic corps in Wash lngton. Secretary Bryan Is giving such detailed information of the American policy as to leave no doubt of what the United States wishes accomplished. Ku far as is known there have been no direct requests for foreign support, but the strong intimations that the I'nited States would like foreign na tions to refrain completely from In terferenee in the affairs of the Huerta government are expected to produce tangible results. financial Aid Discouraged. What the United States Is seeking is an acquiescence in its policy by the powers, such an approval to carry with it discouragement of financial aid to the Huerta regime through foreign channels. A few weeks of financial Isolation, it is believed by high offi cials here, will force the retirement of Huerta. That President Wilson might possi bly issue a statement in a day or two, making a comprehensive explanation ot the purposes of the United States, was intimated. The President has Jiot finally determined whether he will make another pronouncement. President Wilson was in communica tion today again, through Senator Ba con, with members of the Senate for eign relations committee. The Presi dent feels that members of the com mittee, Republicans and Democrats alike, are supporting the policy of the Kxecutive and he is giving serious consideration to their views as to the removal of the embargo on arms. - HALE CKOSSKS INTO MEXICO Preliminary Conference Is Held j AVitli General Carranza. NOG ALES. Sonora, Nov. 11. Bayard Hale crossed the international line 3 Into Mexico at 9 o'clock tonight and C Immediately went into conference with General Carranza.

LAKES CAST UP THEIR DEAD f C -it inuoc! Krom First Pape.) J storm in its history descended cn it i' Sunday night. A resumption of the X. blizzard would cut off relief from the J food scarcity which the city now faces. Rain would seriously complicate the T situation, as flood conditions would " ensue. As a result of the disturbed state of the luke. the drinking water has i turned to the color of coffee and j. warnings were issued by the health de- S partment to boll it. g The total number of dead was in- ' creased to five today when John Rlch- p .mond, 58, was crushed to death by the j- collapse of the roof of his house be- neath the weight of snow, and William t Combert was frozen in a snowdrift. f The work of cleaning up the city J" was furthered this afternoon when ' snow ceased for a time. Fifteen hun- 'J dred workmen succeeded in putting 14 city streetcar lines in order and others probably will be working on a schedule by tomorrow. In the meantime tele- f graph and telephone companies cleared j' away a large part of the wreckage re- 5 suiting from the destruction of tele- 2; phone poles and established a few con- nections with neighboring cities. The work of rehabilitation so far has de- veloped that the vortex of the blizzard J, was limited to an area of some DO miles around Cleveland. TALKS Ol' HARDSHIP TOLD feteamers on Urler Lakes Believed to Be Total Loss. CALUMKT, Mich., Nov. 11. Captain J. W. Duddleson, of the steamer L. C. Waldo, of the Bay Transportation Company of Detroit, which was broken In two at Gull Rock, Manitou Island, told a graphic story of the wreck on his arrival at Houghton tonight with jus crew or 20 men and two - woman aboard the tug Hebard. The Waldo was bound from Two Harbors for lirle, with a cargo of iron ore. The storm struck her at 11:45 o'clock Friday night. The mountainous waves tore off the forward house and pilot-house and nil structures in the forward part of the shio. The compaasos were lost and connections of the electric lighting system were broken. Captain Duddie- on then was forced to steer by a smal inaccurate compass lighted by a nlan- tern held by a member of the crew. With this improvised equipment the boat was headed for the passage Do 'tween Bassal Ball Rock and Keweenaw Tolnt. A northeast gale was blowing, accompanied by blinding snow, and, owing to tlie inaccuracy of the compass, the steamer was Bwerved slightly from her course. After being tossed for 18 hours, the b-iat finally struck the resf. For time the crew was in imminenc danger of being washed overboard. After the boat hit the reef, the after-houae was warned away and they were compelled to s-ek shelter in the windla-is-room, the r,ly superstructure whlh with stood the lashing of the waves. Uriiil the arrival of the tug Hebard, carrying the lifesaving crew of Port age Lake ship canal, in charge of Cap tain McCormick, shortly after 7 o'clock, the Waldo's crew was without food. Captain Duddleson praised highly the work of the llfesavers. Had they not braved the Immense seas, which were still running, he declared, his crew would have been In grave danger of perishing. The Waldo Is valued at J300.000. Captain Duddleson believes the boat is a total ldss, but he will leave for the wreck tomorrow to ascertain the full extent of the damage. Captain T. Paddington and crew of 16, of the steamer Turret Chief of the Merchants' Line of Ontario, -which foundered six miles east of Copper Harbor, Keweenaw Point, at 4 o'clock Saturday morning, arrived in Calumet tonight. They had suffered one of the most harrowing experiences in the his tory of lake shipping. The Turret Chief went ashore on a desolate beach Friday night. Part of the crew were asleep when the vessel struck. Thrown from their bunks, they had no time to don warm clothing before they were ordered on deck. Some were barefooted. It soon became evident that the fate of the vessel was sealed, as she was pounding badly and the waves were washing over her decks. Without waiting to obtain a SECRETARY OF WAR, WHO SAYS CANAL WILL BE OPEN TO BIG VESSELS BY SPRING. LWm.EY SI. supply of food the officers and crew made their way through the surf to the shore. A hut was hastily built of driftwood and wreckage. In this the" men found some shelter from the storm until yes terday morning, although they .suffered severely from exposure. They were not sure of their location, but were di rected to Copper Harbor by a trapper. Frostbitten, shivering and weak from hunger, they tramped slowly into Copper Harbor yesterday. They were taken today to Mandan, Keweenaw County, where they received warm clothing and medical attention until they could be brought here. Members of the crew believed that the Turret Chief would be a total loss, as her position is such that she cannot be removed before the waves pound her to pieces. LIGHTSHIP ANT GREW LOST Six Perish When Government Vessel Is Torn From Anchorage. BUFFALO, N. V., Nov. 11. Frag ments of wreckage tossed ashore along many miles of lakefront confirmed to day the fear that the storm which lashed Lake Brie Sunday and Monday had claimed a heavy toll of death. Six men perished when lightship No. 82 was torn from her anchorage 15 miles up the lake, and either foundered or was shattered on the breakwater in the blinding snow storm Monday. At Lorain, O., the steamer G. J. Grammer, of Huffalo, is hard ashore and in a dangerous position. I.i re-savers are standing by, but are unable to take off the crew because of the heavy seas. The first news of possible disaster to the lightship was brought by the captain of the ore-carrier Champlain, the first vessel to make port since Sat urday. He informed Captain Herbert, of the Government steamer Vruces, that the steamer was missing, and Her bert reported to Inspector House, of the Tenth lighthouse district, who at once started up the lake. About the same time Inspector House reported wreckage was coming ashore at the foot of Michigan street. A door, some broken panels and other wreckage identified as a part of the lightship floated in. Inspector House chartered a tug and joined Herbert in the search. No trace of the ship was found. COHON TO DECIDE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE CANNOT CHANGE REPRESENTATION. Law Committee Reaches DeclMlon and Will Draft Call to Be Sub mitted to Committee. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. Power to change the basis of representation in the Republican National convention does not lie with the Republican Na tlonal Committee, although the com mlttee has authority to call an In termediate convention to act on the question. This was determined today by the law committee of the National Com mittee, after an all-day discussion of various questions referred to it pre paratory to the meeting of the Na Uonal Committee here next month to consider reorganization of the party The law committee decided that if the National Committee should decide to call a convention, the basis of repre sentation would have to be just wha it bad been 111 trie past. it was aiso agreed that the com mittee had no power to alter the method of choosing delegates to future conventions and that it would be in expedient to make such a change ex cept in accordance with state legis lative action. The lawyers will make a draft of call for the convention to be sub mitted to the December meeting of the committee. CANAL READY FOR TRAVEL BY SPRING Garrison, Home From Isthmus Thinks Goethals Should Not Be Hurried Unduly. DEFENSE IS WONDERFUL First Beep-Water Vessel to. Make Voyage Likely to Be Steamer With President and Other Officials on Board. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. Secretary Garrison returned to his desk today from his first trip to the Panama r"3 GARRISON. Canal. "The defense constitutes a marvelous feat in engineering," he de clareu. "'The works are now in readi ness for the installation of the mor tars and 14-inch guns." The first deep-draft vessel to pass through the Panama Canal from ocean to ocean will be one of the Panama Railroad steamers, owned by the Gov ernment, which now are plying be tween New York and Colon, if the plan which Secretary Garrison has in contemplation finally is adopted. The Secretary's idea is to allow Colo nel Goethals all the time he requires to complete the canal and experiment with it before this initial trip is made. Then with President Wilson and some of his Cabinet, the Congressional com mittees having jurisdiction over the canal and a few newspaper men aboard, the Panama liner will pass through the waterway from Cristobal, on the Atlantic side, to Balboa, at the Pacific entrance. Fram to Make Early Trip. Secretary Garrison said today that while no positive date could be fixed for this ceremony, he thought that Colonel Goethals would succeed In clearing the way through the Cucara cha slide by February 1 and that it certainly would be possible to pass deep-draft vessels through by next Spring. The Fram, Captain Amundsen's fa mous Antarctic ship, was lying in the harbor of Colon when Secretary Gar rison sailed from the Isthmus. It has been promised that the Fram shall be among the first vessels to be passed through the canal on her way to Ber ing Sea conveying another Arctic ex ploring expedition. Secretary Garrison and Colonel Goethals gave some attention to plans ror the conversion of a portion of the present employes into a force to op erate the canal. Force Is Being; Reduced. Colonel Goethals is desirous of re talning in the permament establish ment as many as possible of the em ployes who have made good records in the construction service. At one time these employes numbered 60.000. bu this total has been reduced from time to time owing to the progress of the work to about 35,000. Reductions are being made at the rate of about 6000 month. Colonel Goethals estimates that 5000 men will be required to on erate the canal, 1500 "gold men" (high grade employes from the United States) and 3500 "silver men" (manual labor, largely drawn from the Wes Indies and Europe). Secretary Garriso said tnai colonel Goethals had ex pressed a desire to remain in charge long enough to place the canal in working condition. MILLIONS TO BE EXPENDED j Continued Prom First Pae.) tor Chamberlain, accompanied by Sen ator Lane, took up the question with the new Cabinet officer and urged early favorable action. Both Oregon Sena tors and Representative Sinnott have had many conferences with the present Administration on the subject, and now that work is actually authorized, they are confident that the completion of the first unit will be followed by he early construction of the remainder of the project, which must be dependent on storage for its water supply. Private Landowners Agree. One of the great obstacles that has stood always in the way of the West Umatilla project was the private land owner. After long negotiations, satis factory arrangements were made with the owners of large tracts of land under the gravity unit, and they are on rec ord as agreeing to subdivide their hold ings into small tracts, to conform to the farm unit established for the project by the Secretary of the In terior. This unit may be 40 acres, and on some of the land it may be less, but whatever the unit, the lands now in private ownership will be sold as aireciea Dy tne secretary, tne owners being further obligated, to dispose of their lands when water becomes avail able for irrigation, or earlier. The Northern Pacific Railway, which owns 2000 acres In this unit, has agreed further ,to allow the Secretary of the Interior to fix the price at which its lands shall be sold. On the larger, or storage unit, which now embraces about 27,000 acres lying above that Included in the first unit. there are serious land questions to be worked out before construction can be authorized, but there will be a whole year In which to solve this problem and there is a general belief that this obstacle can be cleared away. Before the Government can build the storage reservoir it must acquire the land com prising the reservoir site, most of which is in private ownership, and a large part of which is owned by the Swifts. For several years the Reclama tion Service sought to close negotia tions for the Swift and adjoining lands, but these negotiations failed because the owners demanded prices which were and still are regarded as exorbi tant. Negotiations to Be Resumed. . Of late these negotiations have been dropped, as the Government did not care to resort to long-drawn-out con demnation proceedings. It is the uij derstandlng, however, that negotia tions are now to be resumed. If terms cannot be arranged, it may be de cided to resort to condemnation as a last resort. On the larger part of the project, also, there are some large private hold ings which must be dealt with as were the holders of the Oregon Land & Water Power Company on the gravity unit; that is to say, the present owners must agree to subdivide their land and Bell it to actual settlers in regulation farm units. Secretary Lane will not proceed with the project unless this condition is met. H U G H E S TJ A M E P fi 0 P 0 S E D BORAH TENTATIVE CHOICE AS HAR. MOXY RtJXSIXG MATE.

This proposed Presidential ticket for the next campaign is under consideration in circles of Republican leadership 0f both branches of the party in Congress Mr. Hughes, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, is not a party to the deliberations. The time has not yet arrived when he can be consulted. At this time the negotiations are pro ceeding mainly with the Progressives to determine their possible attitude. The outcome depends. It is said, on whether the Progressives will insist on taking first place and Inviting the other side to come along, or whether they will be willing to grant that the other side has some reasonable claim to consideration and show a. willing ness to treat on an equal basis. The contention to be presented In behalf of the regular Republicans is that Republican success in the next campaign hinges absolutely on carry ing New Tork. They believe Hughes cau carry New York, and they do not believe that any Progressive from the Far West can do It. FILM TRUST DEFENDED OFFICIAL SAYS EXCLUSIVE SERV. ICE IS BENEFICIAL. Duplication Saved, Which Helps "Fans' Who Attend Two or Three Shows In Single Night. NEW YORK. Nov. 11 The right of a company leasing moving picture Alms to supply Alms without competition within a specified territory was de fended by a member of the so-called motion picture trust today in the Gov ernment's suit against the Motion Pic ture Patents Company, the General Film Company and others for alleged violation of the Sherman law. Frank L. Dyer, president of the General Film Company, asserted that there was an element of speculation in moving pic ture making. He said: "It is right that one city or territory should be supplied exclusively by one film exchange in order to prevent the same pictures from running at two theaters at the same time. There are what we call "moving picture fans" who attend two or three shows a night.'' The General Film Company was formed, the witness said, to give better service to its customers and as a means of perfecting a film distribution service that would "show the other film ex changes the better ways' 'of conducting the business. "We never tried," he testified, "to force other independent film exchanges to sell out to the General Film Com pany." MORE DAMAGES ARE ASKED Vancouver Court Hears Appeal From Industrial Commission.
