PROMISES TO HELP FINISH ALB ERTIN A KERR ' NURSERY'S NEW BUILDING. HOLD' ON POWER SOUGHT Senator ?few Points Oat 10 Men Are on Tour Instead of Running Nation. CHICAGO, Oct. 2f7 (Special.) "Judge Hughes is absolutely correct when he says that if Cox is elected It will mean perpetuating the Wilson administration in power," said Sena tor Sew, chairman of the speakers' bureau at republican national "head quarters, today. He referred to an interview in which Charles Evans Hughes, formerly 01 the United States supreme court and candidate for the presidency against Wilson in 1916, had said that Cox stands for Wilson ism. "The Wilson cabinet hopes to be kept in power by a Cox victory and all America should know what that means a perpetuation of all that has been partisan, unwise and un-American in the administration. . "Where is the cabinet now? In Washington, at the helm of the ship of state where God knows such state craft as any of them possesses is sorely needed? No, with the excep tion of Burleson of the postoffice, every mother's sonof them is out campaigning for Cox. Even to crowni Prince McAdoo, they are out defend- ing the league of nations, and all the wasteful and incompetent methods of the Wilson regime." Senator New pointed out that the 10 men, who ought tobe at posts of dfity and doing what they can to help the nation back into channels of peaceful industry, are scattered all over the country. They are: Secre tary of State Colby, Secretary, of War Baker, Secretary of the Navy Dan iels, Secretary of the Treasury Hous ton, Secretary of Agriculture Mere dith, Secretary of the Ulterior Payne, Secretary of Commerce Alexander, Secretary of Labor Wilson and Attorney-General Palmer. The "crown prince," William G. McAdoo, is a son-in-law of President Wilson and formerly secretary of the treasury and director-general of rail roads. All these are now touring the country for the league of nations and the Cox candidacy. MAYOR fir A - - 'f C--S : 'McB , rg m " v'- is Mfef.-S III ssasa issxsm1 1 I MAYOR BAKER AND MRS. BE.V W DR.

OlCoTT, HOIDRARI PHESIBEXT, AT M BSERY, EAST TWE 1VT Y-SBCOSD AD SANDY, The drive of the Albertlna Kerr nursery for funds to complete the building at East Twenty-second street and Sandy boulevard starts today.

Civilization, Humanity and Bro therly Love Lacking in Asia, Says Jewish Speaker. America must bring light to Ru sia in order to save the country, was the substance of the message deliv ered last night by former Rabbi Jo seph Goldman at the Multnomah hotel under the auspices of the Wil bur Methodist Episcopal church. "Russia needs civilization," he said. "The country needs also humanity and brotherly love," Bolshevism in Russia is just like the teachings of the Industrial Work ers of the World here, he declared, and there must be a "home sweep ing," as he termed it, here, before bolshevism can be eradicated entire-' ly. '"Russia Is not lost today," stated the ex-Rabbi, whose forefathers went to Poland in 1400. "Russia needs mis sionaries. Russia needs freedom, not in men, but in God." The horrors of the methods in which the Russians killed the Jews were related by the speaker, who eaid he had been an eye-witness of some of these tragedies. Ten Czars killed 2.500,000 Jews, he said, for the sole reason that they were Jews. Two serious stumbling blocks in Russia today, he declared, are the re ligion and lack of education. The Russian system had depended on man power and ,not on civilization, he said. "Nine out of every ten persons today are living in a mystic maze," he said. "Truth, Christ, will make you free forever. Call upon Christ in your trouble." Hawaiian Music Makes Hit at Auditorium Concert. Cordial Applaune Given Numbers by Charles Diamond 10O4 At tend Programme. FLOWERS SCORES WILSON California Campaigner Addresses Crowd at Grants) Pass. GRANTS TASS. Or, Oct. 2. (Spe cial ) Montaville Flowers of Cali foinia addressed a well filled house last night. Mr. Flowers dwelt princi pally upon the league of nations, say ing that a nation was born, not maae. President Wilson was scored for his alleged attempt to create a super-nation. Mr. Flowers also urged voters to support Stanfield and declared that if Chamberlain .were elected, the situ ation would be as bad as the present. One of the features of the meeting was the singing of political songs by a young men's quartet. The songs were original and were well received. Wilfrod Allen, chairman of the Jose phine county central committee, presided. AT the concert of popular music in the public -auditorium yester day afternoon, there were 1004 paid admissions, and the cordial applause indicated that the audience liked the kind of varied music presented. Charles Dimond. the Hawaiian stringed instrument player, made a particular hit with his solos which were played with masterly ability on a Hawaiian -steel guitar. The latter has many voices dreamy, soft, senti mental and loudly patriotic and Mr. Dimond deftly created them at will. He is one of the best guitar players ever heard in this city, and his guitar solos have the tenderness and the silky sympathy of a violin played by an expert. Mr. Dimond pleased im mensely by his playing of the Dvorak "Humoresqne," Sousa's "Stars and Stripes,", and a melody of national airs including "Dixie, "Marching through Georgia etc. ' Two dozen singers from the Port land Oratorio society, Joseph A. Fin ley, conductor, sang with spirit and commendable attention to phrasing. four choruses, the principal one being Handel's "Hallelujah" chorus from "Messiah."

Letter Indorsing Candidacy of City's Chief Executive Praises His Work In the Past. Word was received yesterday by Mayor Baker . that the members of Auxiliary 3, United Spanish War Vet erans, had unanimously Indorsed him for re-election at a meeting held Thursday. Enclosed in the notice of this action Is a copy of a letter which is being sent out to all mem bers by the officers of the organi sation. The letter -follows: "Auxiliary number 3. United Span ish War Veterans, at their last meet ing adopted resolutions asking that the support of all members to the cause of re-electing George L. Baker mayor of Portland at the election No vember 2. "This organization is not political In any sense and it is not customary to indorse candidates, but in this par ticular case the Issue is much more than political. Mayor Baker repre sents and leads true Americanism in this city and has gone down the line on this issue working hand in hand with all organizations for the pro tection of the cause. Everybody knows his remarkable war record and his attitude toward those who have helped win our wars. 'or three and a half years he has met an endless nunrber of emergencies and problems in a big, broad way that has put Portland on the map for loyalty and kept the city free from troubles that have beset some other cities. The present and the future will bring forth equally big problems which must be met in advance of. disaster and we feel he will meet them in the future as he has in the past. "We know Mayor Baker and know where he stands and should there fore do everything in our power to retain him in office. "You will be counted on to join in this work in every way you can." L KEEPS FAITH 3-MILL TAX MEASURE CP THIS YEAR BECAUSE OP PROMISE. DEBS' LIFE DISCUSSED Release Before Election, as Cam- paign Move, Is Predicted. The- prison life of Eugene V. Debs, socialist candidate for president now serving sentence at the Atlanta, 6a., federal prison for violation of the es pionage act, and an outline of the campaign policy of the socialist par ty, were the chief subjects discussed by Mrs. Lena Morrow Lewis, north west district organiser of the social ist party, in an address before 250 persons in Mechanics' hall last night. Mrs. Lewis bitterly arraigned Attorney-General Palmer's conduct of the department of justice, and warned her hearers to look for the release of Debs on the eve of the election as a campaign move of the democratic ad ministration to swing the radical vote. A. H. Herndobler Wins Place. A. H. Herndobler, auditor of the State Bank of Portland, has Just been elected a director of the Portland chapter of the American Institute of Banking. Mr. Herndobler is chairman of the membership committee which recently carried on a successful cam paign netting 376 new members. Classes are being conducted in prac tical banking subjects three nights a week in the Lumbermens building. The object is to get every ambitious bank clerk in the city into one of these classes. Same Conditions Which Made Levy ' Necessary in 192 0 Said to Exist Now. The three mill tax measure adopted by the voters a year ago to apply to the present year is submitted to the voters again this year by the city council merely as a matter of keep ing faith with the people, according to an explanation made yesterday by tJity Attorney Laiiocne. The three-mill tax was adopted by th voters a year ago to provide suf ficient money to carry the city through the year 1920," said Mr. La Roche. "The council in submitting the issue then promised that before again imposing the tax for the year 11)21 it would be submitted to the voters, regardless of whether condi tions which necessitated the tax for 1920 had changed. The conditions which made the tax necessary for 1920 have not changed, but the coun cil decided to keep faith and again ubmit the question. There seems to be an impression that the three-mill measure means a. new tax or an additional three mills or an increased tax over the tax for the present year. That is not a fact. The measure now on the ballot will, if adopted, permit the city council to levy only the same levy as was levied for 1920. If it is not passed the coun cil will have to levy three mills less next year than was levied this year. This reduction of three mills would mean the city council would have o make an arbitrary reduction of one third in every department. This would hit such services as the fire department, police department, street cleaning, etc., an awful jolt because these services are even now inade quate to meet the demands of a grow ing city." Institute of Technology of the Toung Men's Christian Association has caused the formation of additional classes. R. H. Watson of Walla Walla, Wash., has been . added to the staff of in structors.' He will teach elementary subjects and help foreigners to qualify for American citizenship. Mr. Watson formerly was superintendent of schools at Cashmere, Wash. A division for the education of older men has been organized and instruc tion will start at once. "Last year we enrolled a man who had earned $12,000 a year, but he could riot write correct English," said L. R. Reynolds, educational director of the institute. "It is surprising to know the number of men who are eager, at their late age. to undertake studies in elemen tary subjects which will make them more usefuL" Many loggers who visit Portland during the winter months only for a few days at one time have shown an interest in elementary subjects this fall, and encouragement has been given by lumber companies and log ging superintendents. BABY FINBS MATCH, FIRE 4-YEAB-OLD IN QUARANTINE, RESTLESS, EXPLORES ATTIC. H. M. White Dashes Home From Audltorinm and Crowd at Concert Jams. Hal M White Jr.. 4-year-old son of the secretary to Mayor Baker, was restless. Health officers had placed a diptheria warning over the front door and given orders that the youngster should remain in doors. Because of his enforced quarantine HaL junior, went on an exploration trip into the garret. He found a match in his dad's hunting shirt.- But why tell the rest of the story? About 10 minutes later fire appa ratus responded to an emergency call to the White home, 121 Florida street. Disregarding the diphtheria sign, firemen broke through the front door and battled with the fire which was raging through the upper part of the house. Most of the damage was con fined to the roof and garret, although some furniture was damaged by wa ter. The total loss will not exceed 300. Mr. White at the time was assist ing in the ticket sale at the audi torium, of which he is manager as well as secretary to the mayor. Clos ing down the ticket window, he hur ried home as soon as he had heard of the fire alarm. As a result the crowd arriving at the auditorium for the afternoon concert became con gested and jammed. Some little difficulty was experienced In han dling the crowd. "Troubles never come singly," laughed the mayor's secretary after all excitement hau suDsiaea, ana after Hal Jr. had promised never to experiment with matches again. STANFIELD GAIN MOUNTS CHAMBERLAIN BACKER IS OUT FOR REPUBLICAN, WINTER GARDEN SMOKED Damage of 92 5 0,000 Done by Fire in Theatrical District. NEW TORK, Oct. 24 Damage es timated at 3250,000 was caused by fire in the theatrical district today. Flames swept several buildings and the Winter Garden was damaged by water and smoke. J. J.

A large enrollment in the courses in citizenship conducted by the Oregon Dr. W. A. Wise of Barview, Or., Says Situation Is Too Serious to Chance Democratic Senate. Dr. W. A. Wise of Barview, Or., which is on Tillamook beach a few miles from Tillamook city, is a re publican who has always heretofore voted' for Chamberlain. He said yes terday he is now one of thousands of such voters, and many democrats, who will cast their votes for Robert N. Stanfield for United States sen ator. "The present situation in the United States," said Dr. Wise, "is too serious for the welfare of the country to be jeopardized by possible democratic control of the United States senate. That would be a calamity, indeed, for only by backing the Republican presi dent with a republican senate will it be possible for republican policies to prevail. "My practice requires me to travel each week in my territory from Till amook to Wheeler. Everywhere I find the same sentiment, and it is becom ing stronger every day. Harding will receive a vote that, is simply over whelming, and events of the last three weeks make it certain that Stanfield will not be far behind him. "The extent of this sentiment may be judged by what has happened to the betting odds. Three or four weeks ago they were 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 on Chamberlain. A couple of weeks ago they had dropped down to 10 to 8. Now they are even money, with al most no Chamberlain . coin to be found." Italians Counter-Attack Turks. LONDON. Oct. 24.
