TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAm . OCTOBER 27, 1313. , PRESIDENT WAY 10 RESUME LABORS Vacation Over and Work on Message to Congress Is Soon to Be Begun. ADDRESS MADE TO POLES Mr. Taft Points Out Necessity of Labor In Developing: Satkra, and Ha Abiding Faith In Future of Those Who Come. CAMBRIDGE SPRINGS, Pa., Oct. J President Taft left here tonight for Washington, his vacation over, his last engagement kept, to begin the Winter's work. The President trav eled from Boston more than 600 miles to speak today at the opening of the National Polish Alliance College here. On the war to Cambridge Springs he addressed the crowds at Jamestown, N. Y., Corry, Union City and Mead vllle. Fa. In all these speeches he avoided pol ltics, dwelt on prosperity and peace and urged his farmer audiences to press their state Legislatures to back the Administration plan of co-opera tlve banks for farmers. Work on Message to Be Begun. , The President is due in Washington early Sunday and has only two post ttve engagement away from the Cap ltal In the next two weeks, one at -New York October SO, when the battle ship New York Is to be launched, the other in Newark, N. J., November i, at the dedication of a monument to George Washington. Beginning Mon day he expects to take up the work of writing his annual message to Con gi ess and pick up the threads of de partment routine. lr his address at the Polish College .dedication here the President praised the "sturdy peasantry" and he "bet- tt r educated classes" who had come to the United States from Europe. He said: "This expression on the part of the Poles of the United States of a desire to perpetuate In this, the land of thei: adoption, a higher institution of. learn lng, to furnish to their educated youth an opportunity for the study of the language, the literature and the his tory of Poland, presents an interesting chase of the settlement of this coun try by Immigrants from the European countries. Immigration Helps America. "If such an Institution were to bare the effect of separating into an isolated community the Poles who come to this country, then It might be questioned how far those of us whose first Interest Is that of the country at large should encourage this effort; but fortunately no such narrow limiting motive actuates the movement. "I am one of those who believe that America is greatly better in her prea ent condition because of the infusion into our body politic and social of the sturdy peasantry and the better edu cated classes who have come to us from the nations of Europe. Labor Needed to Develop Country, "We have a right and ought to have immigration laws that shall prevent our having thrown upon us undosir able members of other countries, like criminals, imbeciles, the insane and the permanently disabled, but we havo a vast territory here not yet filled. In the development of which we need manual labor of a constant and per slstent kind. "I have an abiding faith In the In fluence of our institutions upon all who come here. The second genera tion of a sturdy but uneducated peas ant, brought to this country and ra.sed In an atmosphere of thrift and hard work, and forced by their parents Into school to obtain an instrument of self-elevation, has always contributed to the strength of our people." SUFFRAGISTS BUSY TO END Medford Women Keep Up Fight to Last Hour Before Ballot. MEDFORD. Or., Oct 26. (Special.) The Women's Equal Suffrage Associa tion of Medford plans a whirlwind campaign Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday preceding the election. Niprhtly meetings will be held In Hay market Square. There will be suffrage songs by the "Votes-for-Women" quar tet and speeches by Prosecuting Attor ney Mulkey, Judge E. E. Kelly, Judge W. E. Crewes and Gus Newberry. A rally will be held at Wood vllle the afternoon and night of October 30, in cluding a banquet in the town hall. "Amendment No. 1 will be carried in Jackson County by a large ma jority," said Mrs. J. F. Reddy, presi dent of the association, today, "and I confidently believe it will sweep the state. Of course a number of men who say 'they will support us at the poils will vote against us when they get In the booth, but, discounting the traitors to the cause, there will be more than enough to give women equal rights with men in the state." JUDGE AND JURORS FEAR (Continued From First Page.) characterized his conviction, in a talk with newspaper reporters today. From his cell in "murderers' row" in the Tombs, Becker spoke bitterly of his fate, declaring he had been "railroad ed" and that could he have taken the witness stand he would have explained away the public Impression that he had acquired a fortune through levying graft upon gambling houses. The ex policeman talked In the presence of his brother, John Becker, a police lieuten ant. "This case was legal butchery," he said. "You can't emphasize that too much. Some of the accounts of my trial, I notice, say that I paid out 125.003 for my defense. Twenty-five thousand dollars! why that's 16000 In excess of any sum I ever possessed or ever hoped to possess. According to the newspapers, the public believe I am worth $100,000. I cannot under stand the purpose of this statement All of this could have been explained If 1 had been allowed to go on the stand every cent No Consideration Expected. "Neither Mrs. Becker nor myself "has had any consideration at all since this case began. What's more, I don't ex pect any. I would not be disappointed If Sheriff Harburger rushed me off from the courtroom direct to Sing Sing after Justice Goff has sentenced me next Wednesday. That will be the final stage of the railroading of Becker." The strain t-f waiting for the out come of bis trial and the uncertainty he Ktill faces pending a decision by a higher court on the appeal his law yers will make are telling on Becker's physical condition, according to his friends. Becker was visited for three hours by his wife today. "Mrs. Becker is bearing up as well as one could expect under Buch cir cumstances, said the convicted man. "Her condition troubles me much more than my own." Mclntyre Predicts Reversal. John F. Mclntyre, Beaker's counsel, said he was confident of a new trial for his client "There can't be anything else but a reversal." he declared. "Becker Is Inno cent He was convicted upon the testi mony of a lot of unbelievable creatures and was found guilty after a trial in which legal errors beyond number wero committed. In my opinion. "I am going to see the Attorney General of the state within a few days. I believe that District Attorney Whit man had no right to offer immunity to witnesses who might be and were. In my belief principals in the murder. I will ask the Attorney-General for a ruling, and I believe I will prove my contention." Immunity Agreements Attacked. Mr. Mclntyre mentioned "Brldgle" Webber and Harry Vallon as the two witnesses he had in mind. He said that Immunity agreements which the county prosecutor made with them were not approved by Judge Malqueen, who signed those made with Sam Schepps and "Bald Jack" Rose. Regarding a report that some of the four "gunmen" "Gyp the Blood, "Lefty Louie," "Whitey" Lewis and "Dago Frank were prepared to turn states evidence through terror at Becker's1 PRESIDENT AIDED BY RIGR BROT HER Party Statement Shows That Charles P.

IN (Continued From First Page.) strength in able bodied men already in action. Defense of Capital Big Issue. Even If this, which Is the first stage of the war, is entirely successful for the small states, the second stage will be more Interesting. The great ques tion then will be whether Turkey can defend Constantinople. It is generally believed she can, unless unsuspected conditions develop In the army or revo lution and bankruptcy strike from be hind. Politically, there is one outstanding fact; that Is, If the armies of the Balkan Kings are able to hold even what they have gained thus far and the entire European press seems to take it for granted that they can there is a new nation In Europe. Instead of four feeble kingdoms to which the great powers have given orders from time to time, there is a coherent power. A fortnight ago the great powers served notice in the form of a Joint note on the belligerents that whatever the result of the fighting, there could be no change in the boundary. The Balkan states are saying today: "What we have we will hold." The British press, at least is accepting that as a fact The Balkan states, united and flushed with victory and under arms, will be a brist ling nettle which' the great powers will hesitate to take hold of. The chief interest In the war, purely from a technical standpoint is that it is largely a test of the German school against the French. The Turkish army has been trained by General Von der Goltz and his assistants, and is equipped with German weapons. The Greek, Bulgarian and Servian armies had French instructors. All reports from the armies of the allies described the Turkish prisoners as-Ill-fed and poorly clothed; but sol diers know that prisoners are always dejected and hungry and do not attach much importance to that Both sides accuse their opponents of massacres, cruelties and violation of the white flag. Such accusations are incidental to all wars.- The truth cannot be known until the history of this one Is written. GREEK LOSSES ARE SEVERE Battle in Pass Costs 187 Lives and 1077 Men Are Wounded.
