Saturday the British fleet continued Its bombardment of all the "islands between the Finnish coast and Kris naia Gorka, encouraged by General "Yudeniteh's improved position. The Swedish language newspapers here representing the party advocat ing Finnish intervention in the cam paign against the bolsheviki are urging the Finnish government to modify the conditions upon which it has indicated it would consider intervening. Outpont Fighting Reported They suggest that Finland drop her territorial claims and demand only that the allies stand the cost of the military operations.

ALBANY. Or., Nov. 2. (Special.) Actual work: of boring a well to test out the oil prospects in the vicinity of Lacomb will be begun in a short time by the Oregon Petroleum com pany, a corporation composed entirely of Linn county men. A derrick and some equipment purchased by a com pany formed a few years ago, but which did no work, is being moved to the place selected for the well. It was necessary to build a new road for a short distance to take in this equip ment, but this has been done and the work of erecting the derrick will be under way within a few days. Lacomb men took the initiative in starting this company and Lebanon business men subscribed liberally to the enterprise, i-'everal Albany men are also stockholders.

Lower Classmen Do Away With Usual Yearly Melee; Banquet Is Day's Closing Event. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove, Or., Nov. 2. Special.) Friday was a holiday at Pacific university, given over to the events of all-college day. In past years the night before has been spent by the men of the two lower classes in a class scrap. This fight was abandoned this year by vote of the student body. Instead, the freshmen and sophomores united In giving an impressive demonstration of loyalty and school spirit. An Interesting presentation was made by Miss Dorothy Hall, senior class vice-president, for the girls of the class of the senior mustache cup. decorated in crimson and black, to Verle Stanley. The freshmen underwent initiation in the evening. They survived, and were able to attend the closing event of all-college day, which was the student body banquet held in the women's dormitory. President Clark responded to the faculty toast; Miss Donna Mack, vice-president of the associate alumni, for that organiza tion; Julian Fenengra as class presi dent, for the seniors; Willis Cady for the juniors; Francis Taylor for the sophomores and Ralph Jack for the freshmen. Verle Stanley, as president of the student body, acted as toast master. 60 ARRESTS ARE MADE Charges of Larceny and Vagrancy Predominate in List.

Dalziel, deputy state , sealer of weights and measures, was born In the year 1S71 In Canada, where he lived until his parents moved to Port Huron. Mich., In 1888. There he resided until the spring of 1890, when he came to Oregon and - entered the employ of the Vulcan Iron works, serving first as an appren tice and later as a i -full-fledged jour S.jneyman machinist. i (Leaving that cpn- Icern in the year J 1 89 8. Mr. Dal. i 'zlel went to San ! Francisco where J he worked for the 1 union iron works until 1901, when he again returned to Portland, and cdn- Wllliam A.

Out Entire) Labor Section. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. The ques tion of fixing a date for a final vote on the German peace treaty a ques tion which involves incidentally an approximate time for adjournment of the present session of congress will come up for action tomorrow in tne senate. Possibility of agreement on an an swer to the dominant question is not viewed with optimism either by re publican or democratic leaders. Pre dictions were general tonight that no agreement of any kind would be reached and that the treaty s consid eration would proceed as usual. Sen ate leaders generally desire an ad journment about November 15. The senate will resume debate to morrow on the motion of Senator La Follette, Wisconsin, to strike out the entire labor section of the treaty. Another amendment to be acted on is that of Senator Gore of Oklahoma, providing popular referendums on war declarations, and that of Senator Lodge to strike out the Shantung clause. In the house attention will be cen tered on the railroad legislation, which is to be reported from commit tee late this week if possible, with a view to passage before adjournment. Important measures in conference between the two houses this week are the oil and land-leasing bill, the Cum mins bill restoring the interstate com merce commission's rate-making pow ers and the Edge bill, authorizing foreign export finance corporations. Two new and important measures to be launched tomorrow in the sen ate are the sugar-control bill of Sen ator McNary, republican, Oregon, and shipping-policy bills by Chairman Jones of the senate commerce com mittee. Although senators and representa tives are greatly disturbed by the coal and steel strikes and other industrial disturbances, the general feeling at the capitol seems to be that at pres ent there is little congress can do. 38 IN WHITE HOUSE RACE (Continued From First Page.) personal preferences in favor of se lected candidates. As far as I was able to observe on my "swing around' the circle," there was no spontaneous crystallization of opinion in favor of any one man over any extensive area. Wood, Taft, Wil son, Hanson, Poindexter, Cox, John son, Gapper, Baker, Daniels, Hoover, Gerard. McAdoo, Palmer, Coolidge of Massachusetts, and others have their political and personal supporters scattered here and there. Some of them have -an organization. Some have managers. Some"have exponents. Some have press support. All have friends, but my observation In 20 states did not show widespread spon taneous public sentiment in favor of any one man. In discussing politics with poli ticians and plain people it was in teresting and perhaps significant that there waa a very decided an tagonism toward President Wilson in every section of the country. The political atmosphere was republican. I heard the expression so often, "this is a republican year," that this senti ment could not be mistaken. Even the solid south" was being swept by an anti-democratic wave. Wilson Everywhere Criticised. My second observation was that the opposition to the present admin istration, while centered and ' very evident among business men, was by no means confined to business - peo ple. The administration lacked the support of labor. The pendulum of Wilsonian popularity had swung to the opposite extreme. The president was severely criticised everywhere. Of equal importance to the an tagonism toward the president was the criticism of the republican lead ers of the senate because of their attitude upon the question of the ratification of the peace treaty. But the curious aspect of public criticism of the senate's policies was that the people generally did not criticise the republican party for the senate's ac tion. There seemed to be a very definite line-of demarkation in public opinion. ' President Oat of Race. As a result of the physical and nervous breakdown of President Wil son I find that even his staunchest friends now admit that he is definite ly eliminated as the next democratic condidate for the presidency. The widespread sentiment in favor of former President Taft because of his war and peace policies could not be mistaken anywhere. Mr. Taft is personally popular among the people although the republican organization everywhere opposes him. But while. the" former president may have thousands of vo'ers who applaud his attitude during the war, he does not have the support of any of the men who will go out and line up the voters in 1920. Taft is a repub lican without a party organization. He is about as popular among repub lican politicians as President Wilson is among the democratic leaders. Wood. Leads Republicans. Among the republicans who have the support of the organization and the organizers. General Wood is far in the lead. Whether or not the cloak of Roosevelt falls upon his shoulders. Lower Mexico, Guatemala and Salva dor. For a time he was employed by . the Butters Mines company at their Devisadero plant. In March, 1909, Mr. Dalziel was ap pointed deputy labor commissioner by O. P. Hoff, then . in charge of the state labor department, and remained in that position until January 6, 1919, when he accepted the appoint ment of deputy state sealer of weights and measures. Since his in cumbency in the latter office, Mr. Dalziel has carried on an active cam paign for fair dealing with the pub lic, and not a few dishonest mer chants have been brought to feel his authority. Mr. Dalziel maintains his legal resi dence in Portland and has a wife and two children. His son. William J. Jr., only recently returned to his home after serving In the United States navy during the war. His daughter, ' Miss Hallie, resides at home. Business is said to be a hobby of Mr. Dalziel, and his chief recre ation is his usual week-end visit with his family- in Portland, he has captured the Roosevelt or ganization throughout the country, with the possible exception of Illin ois, where Governor Lowden is the favorite republican son, and the far west, where Senator Johnson is strong. Kansas and some of the mid western states might be an exception, also, because Johnson's friends, such as Governor Allen, think only of Johnson as the republican successor of the late Colonel Roosevelt. From the democratic standpoint former Ssecretary McAdoo three months ago had the best political or ganization in the country, but within recent months Attorney General Palmer has been making marked headway as a political organizer. If there were a contest tomorrow be tween McAdoo and Palmer for the nomination. Palmer would probably win out. The unknown quantity of the democratic party la Mr. Wilson. Granted that he will not be a can didate, whom will he support? No one knows. If Mr. Wilson does, he haa not confided it to anyone else. The second unknown quantity is Mr. Bryan, but among democrats there appears less doubt about what he would do. Secretary Daniels is such an intimate friend of the former sec retary of state that he might easily count upon Mr. Bryan's support in any political contest. Hoover Vet Xon-partlaan. Hoover Is still Non-partisan. He is not a "candidate," but he would not refuse a nomination if it came to him from either party or from an inde pendent party. He has great public support, but lacks the sympathy of nine-tenths of all politicians. This, I believe, is the personality side of the political situation today. These are the 38 men who loom above the horizon, but, with the exception of Poindexter, who has announced his platform, all of these potential-presidents are candidates without plat forms. They stand in the air or upon their records, but there are few men in this country who expect to see u. man elected president next year solely upon his record. If any man is successful, judging by present indica tions, it will be due more to his plat form for reconstruction than to his platform in the past. Issues' Deciding Factors. That brings me to the most import ant aspect of the political campaign as it stands today. The leaders may be in doubt about who will lead the two tickets, but they have not the slightest idea about a platform. Some of them may be united upon men, but today they are hopelessly divided upon issues, and these very issues, while they do not loom above the horizon as prominently as the candi dates, are admitted to be the deciding factors. A man alone will not be elected president. A man with an Idea and an Issue will be. Today the nation's leaders are seeking the issue. Some of the things they are debating will be discussed in a later article in The' Oregonian. But among the self-appointed and self-anointed 38, Wood, Hoover, Low den, McAdoo and Palmer are the "big five." AUTO REGISTRY GROWING Nearly 2000 reported for MONTH JUST ENDED. Showing for 1919 to Date About 19,000 Above That of 1918. 20,000 Held Likely. SALEM, Or., Nov. 2. (Special. In the month of October, 1919, jihere were 2955 passenger and comnjcial automobiles registered by the secre tary of state, while in October, 1918, only 780 cars were registered. In 1917, 1225 cars were registered, this being the largest number in' any October prior to 1919. The report of. Sam A. Kozer, as sistant secretary of state, shows that' there also were registered in the month just closed 52 motorcycles, 17 dealers and 124 chauffeurs. Notices of the transfer of 1219 motor vehicles and S7 motorcycles were also filed in that month. The total fees received in October, 1919, for all registrations, was $9236. This brings the gross fees for motor ve hicle and chauffeur registrations for the ' year 1919 up to $596,832. This entire sum, less 'administrative ex penses, is turned over to the state highway commission for road con structlon and improvement. The number of motor vehicle licenses is sued on October 31 totaled 82.309; motorcycles, 3549; motor vehicle dealers, 583; and chauffeurs regis tered. 3072. The registrations for 1919 are now approximately 19,000 greater than for the year 1918 and it is not un likely that before the present license year closes the total number of regis tered motor vehicles will be nearly 20.000 in excess of the number for 1918. Had motor vehicle dealers been aDie to aenver cars promptly as orders were placed with them, th registrations in Oregon for the cur rent year would have reached nearly 2o,000 in excess of those for 1918. Total receipts from motor vehicle registrations and other fees incident thereto for the year 1918 aggregated $161,422, showing an increase in fees from such sources for the year of substantially $140,000. 2 DALLAS BOYS ARE SHOT FRITZ WOUNDS LADS BENT OX ' HALtOWEEX" PR.VXKS. Roy Waits and Ben Jones Said to Be in Serious Condition; Fritz Held Under $1000 Bond. DALLAS, Or., Nov. 2. (Special.) Roy Waits and Ben Jones, two Dallas boys, aged 16 and 17 years, respec tively, were seriously injured Friday night while engaged in playing hal- loween pranks about the residence of E. Fritz in the southwestern part the city, by being shot in the lower limbs with a shotgun. Fritz, who was arrested by Sheriff John W. Orr late Saturday, stated that the boys had been about hia .premises early in the evening bu that he had chased them away. Later on, however, he heard a noise in the back part of the yard and grabbing a shotgun, loading it on his way, to ascertain the cause of the disturb ance, spied the same gang of boys at work attempting to wreck an out building. He says that he fired two shot and the two boys fell to the ground. He says that he only meant to scar them, but the officials think that his aim was better than he Imagined, as both boys are pretty well shot Op, Waits hav;ng about 60 shot in hi right hip and legs and Jones abou 40 In his right leg. forearm and hand. The boys had to be carried away from te premises and were taken to th home of Mrs. E. Boslar on Washing' ton street and a physician called to dress the wounds. Today they are said to be in a serious condition and danger of blood poisoning Is feared by attending physicians. Fritz, who is 55 years of age, was hailed before Justice of the Peace John . R. Sibley, Saturday evening, where he waived hearing and was bound over to the next term of the grand jury under $1000 bonds. POET DEMANDS NEW FRONTIER FOR ITALY Fiume and Strategic Points Slated for Annexation. FULL POLICY IS OUTLINED Acquisition of Territory Held Es sential to Nation; Council of Paris Is Defied. BY BEATRICE BASKERVILLE. (Copyright by tli New York World. Pub lished by Arranfieineiit.) FIUME, Oct. 31. (Special Cable.) "Fiume declared on May 18 last: " 'I, alone, have the right to decide my bwn fate. My right has' been proved, ta manifest and undeniable. I do not recognize the faculty of any power, not even of Italy, to dispose of my territory and my people. I have made up my mind. If any man is op posed to me let him sustain his op position with violence. I await him."" Thus, Gabriel d' Annunr.io. dictator of Fiume. began the remarkable state ment, outlining his policy and terri torial demands, which he made today: "That is what the born citizens of Fiume, and the elected citizens of Fiume declare today, without the ad dition of one word," D'Annunzio con tinued. I'larr in Free Italy Wanted. "Now Fiume cannot become a free city, but wants to become a city of free Italy, with all its territory, all its seas, all its archipelago. Fiume is the extreme rock of latin culture; it is the last messenger of DanK'a cult. From here for centuries and centuries the latin spirit has radiated along its coast and isles, from Volos ca to Lovrana, from Moschiena to Al bona. from Veglia to Lussino, from Cherso to Arbe (towns and islands near Fiume). "If Fiume were to become a free city and not a city of free Italy every Italian imprint would soon vanish from yonder by the eastern shores of Istria and the archipelago, and the glorious country of San Vito would have suffered and struggled and hoped and waited in vain. "Fiumeans know this, they feel it, their deep racial instinct warns them that false liberty is worse than a re bellious liberty, is worse than a re bellious servitude. New Boundaries Contetnplated. "Why did we make war?" I asked a meeting of recruits one evening be hind an embankment of the Fiave, which had become a frontier of tre mendous import. "To reacquire the ummit of an Alp, a handful of land utting into the sea or the bend of a ulf? Tea, surely, for these things as well, but the great reason is the cause f territory, the cause of the spirit. the cause of immortality." The cause of territory has its imits and because it is only in Fiume oday that people talk frankly and roughly amidst so much senile chat- er," D'Annunzio went on. "The cause f territory has its limits. To the orth of Fiume it must inclwde Idria as far as th-fToroid Balkansik''- dis- trict of IdjBa (40 miles of Fiume) by centuries of historrn tra ditions and by the evidence of its con figuration. It belongs to tne body ot taly. It has no sound frontier of it- elf but forms the bulwark of the Alps of Ternova. Protection la Foreseen. "With Idria in our hands, Gorizia 15 miles west of Triest) remains pro- ected. If it be taken away from us Gorizia remains exposed to the Jugo slav guns. Italy has no raw materi als, and if she possessed Idria she would have at least one mercury, in which the Idria district is rich. "As Idria, so should I'ostumia, be curs by right. If we do not possess Postumia the waves of Balkan tribes, bitter waves of Barbaric Slavs, will surge up to within 12 miles or the walls of Trieste. Without the dis trict of Postu-nia we would leave in he hands of the southern Slavs I.onutico. Nauporto, and perhaps Prevaldo, which, from time imme morial, constitute the true gate of Italy, the Latin threshold against the northern" and eastern incursions of the barbarians of all times. Without Idria, without Postumia, without Castelnuovo, Italy s boun daries would remain in the hands of foreigners, would remain In the hands of Balkan tribes. And not Flume alone, ' but the whole of the Julian Veneto would be reduced to an Italian agony behind a broken frontier. When, on May 19. the Fiumeans and Italians shouted in the face of the supreme council that the history written with Italy s most generous blood could not stop at Paris, and that they, firmly awaited violence, no matter whence It came. they announced thereby the fall of the old world.

ELKS TO CHEER KIDDIES l'LA.VS FOR GREAT CHRISTMAS PARTY UNDER WAY. Tentative Scheme Is to FurnMi Presents, DeJicucies and After noon of Fun for Poor. Poor children of Portland will be assured of a happy Christmas celebra tion through the adoption of a sug gestion offered to Portland lodge, B. P. O. Elks, by Exalted Ruler Julius J. Berg, to stage a Christmas party for poor children. Similar affairs are staged by Elks' lodges in many or the large cities of the country, but fop a number of years the Portland L'.s have not held the Christmas entertainment for chil dren. Complete plans have not yet been formulated, but it is probable that the co-operation of various char itable organizations will be sought In order that Invitations to the proper kiddies can be extended. Exalted Ruler Berg will appoint large committee to handle the fes tivities, and it is possible that the public auditorium will be secured so that ample room will be available for staging a large party. Under the tentative plans each child will be given presents, as well as cajidy. nuts and other delicacies. A huge Christmas tree will be set uf and decorated, and the entire after noon of Christmas day will be devoted to games aad fun. Walnut Growers to Sleet Here. SALEM. Or., Nov. 2.
