DAILY EAST OREGONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1910. PACT SEVEN TWO Ulfl MEASURES GAINING IN COUNT DRYS DECLARE WETS WON BY SUBTERFUGE t Ids. f TO THE EIGHT PAGES a Wan H STl HOLIDAY MRS! PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY AND JUDICIARY BILLS FAVORED Complete Vole Not In Belated Re turiiM Cast Doubt on Fate or Ijibor Tax Amendment Home Hulu Ma jority Is More Tlion 3000. Election returns from missing counties nnd preelncu yesterday prac tically settled the fate of the presi dential primary bill and the constitu tional amendment changing the Jury system In civil cases and reforming procedure on appeals, but served to cast doubt on the fate of the taxa tion amendment proposed by the la bor organizations and Intended to give counties control of their own taxation methods. ' Nineteen precincts In Multnomah county not given In the totals of the preceding day added materially to the favorable affirmative majority on the presidential primary bill and re turns from other counties did not cut down this lead materially. The vote on the bill as now reported stands: Yes 37,163, no 35 825. or a majority for the bill of 1328 In a total of 72, 978. It Is probable that these figures Include all but about 8000 to 10,000 votes. Jury Amendment May Win. The affirmative majority for the Jury amendment now stands at 2898 In a total of 68,664 votes counted. About 10,000 to 12,000 votes will be added to the total, but It is not likely that they will affect the general re sult. The bill apparently has been approved, and it Is also Indicated that the presidential primary bill Is out of tho woods. The labor tax amendment has a majority of 730 recorded against It In a total of 74,608 votes counted. In the returns Included the vote In Ba ker county Is very Incomplete, repre senting about one eighth of the total probably cast In that county. The first returns from Baker county give the bill a majority there of 256 and If the remainder of the vote Is on the same ratio there will be enough there to overcome the lead on the negative side of the bill. The first Teports, however, were city precincts where the bill likely received more favorable consideration than In the country. Prohibition Is' Downed. The majority against prohibition now stands at more than 16.600 In a total count of 5.523. In this total nre represented 39 444 affirmative and 66,079 negative votes and the to tal Is probably within a few thou sand of the total cast In the state on the amendment. It Includes the com plete figures In all others except Ba ker, Columbia, Curry. Harney, Klam ath, Ike and Lincoln. From nil of the counties named, ex cept Baker, no reports at all have been received on the prohibition amendment. The recent storm de stroyed telegraph and telephone com munication throughout Curry and Lincoln counties and the election fig ures await the arrival of the election board reports at the county seats. It Is probable that more than 100,000 voters expressed themselves on the prohibition question In Oregon. In view of the unexpected disapproval of prohibition by the rural districts an estimate of 18,000 majority against the amendment Is believed reason able. Returns on the home rule bill are wholly lacking only from Curry, Har ney, Lake and Lincoln counties and out of a total of 95.919 reported there are 49,409 affirmative votes and 46, 610 negative votes giving the amend ment a favorable majority of 2799. The majority will be increased to more than 3000 in all probability. School Totals Same. The belated returns yesterday did not change the general situation In respect to the normal school bills. The majority against the Ashland school was cut down to 7539 by the complete figures on Jackson county, In which tho school Is situated. Jack son gave a slx-to-one vote In favor of the bill. The vote now stands: Yes 33,816. no 41.355, making a total re ported of 75.171. The majority against the Weston school on the Incompleted count was also cut down by the Jackson county vote for Jackson county approved all normal school bills The vote on the Weston bill now stands: Yes 34,073; no 39.340, giving a negative majority of B267 in a total of 73.413. The majority In favor of the Mon mouth bill stands at 9037 on the In complete returns, there being 42,794 In favor of the bill and 33,757 against It. or a total reported of 76,661. Sunday Oregonlan. JUNCTION MAN MAKES " DIVERSIFIED FARMING PAY Portland. Or. A. , C Nelson, of Junction City, Is one who has made diversified farming pay,. Cpmlng to Oregon In 1902 from Wisconsin, seek ing a mild climate and a fruit coun try Mr. Nelson purchased 80 acres of land near Junction City. In 1903 he built a modern home and planted 12 acres to apples, principally Lel low Newtown Pippins with a few Baldwins and Spltsenbergs. This year he marketed one carload of choice fruit. Mr. Nelson has sent several boxes of his apples to the Albany apple how that will later be exhibited at Portland In competition with prize fruit from other sections of the state. His orchard Is well cared for and the fruit was so heavy this year that It had to be thinned twice. Besides making the fruit growing business a success, the owner of this model place is keeping 100 hens and six fine Jersey daJi-y-eowe.

Har , perV Bsasr. -, -' i u SAY GUMSHOE CAMPAIGN DEFEATED PROHIBITION Anti-Saloon Advocates Say "Wets" Got Votes "Buttonholing" While Bum Foes Devoted lime to Speak ers for Oilier Side. "I can't understand It; I can't understand It," declared J. R. Kno dell, superintendent of the Oregon Anti-Saloon League, yesterday, when asked for an explanation as to why the state went "wet" and for an an alysis of the vote, says the Sunday Oregonlan. "We have been whipped hard and there Is no denying It," he said. "I have several opinions, but one opin ion might be as good as another. I do not believe the vote reflects against prohibition or our cause we were outgeneraled, and that is all there Is to it. The big speakers sent here by the liquor Interest were not sent for the purpose of making votes. They were sent here to distract atten tion while the 'gumshoe' men did the work. "We preachers have been confident that no one dared speak In public in behalf of the saloon, that there was no argument to present in behalf of the saloon and there Is none. We thought no one dared appear in pub lic and defend the saloon. When the liquor interests sent their speakers here we were astounded. The Prohi bitionists stampeded to get on their trail, dropped all of the work and left the field open for the 'gumshoe' men. It was a 'button-hole' cam paign, a system of talking to each man personally while we were after the speakers. It was a clever coup and we were caught In It. We were outgeneraled." Officials are Illumed. J. P. Newell, chairman of the ex ecutive board of the state prohibition party, said: "I will not acknowledge that the cause of prohibition has been defeat ed. The election illustrates one thing. We must elect proper officials first and then enact laws. We have pro hibition laws In counties, but they were not enforced. It was not the fault of the law but the officers who were elected to enforce them. So the situation was this, we had the laws but no officers to enforce them. "In communities where this con dition obtained, the people did not like It on either side, and, rather than have It continued, voted against state-wide prohibition and for the home-rule bill. The next time we have prohibition laws adopted we shall have officers who will enforce the law first. "The next time a prohibition elec tion comes around the state will go dry,' for, by that time, the voters will be educated in the cause of pro hibition. There may be sincere men in the Home-Rulo association who will try really to reform the saloon. We, who have been through the mill and have tried It, know that It can not be done, and at the next election, these men will be with us." H. C. McAllister, general manager of the Greater Oregon Home-Rule as sociation, said: Prohibition Itself Blnmed. "The failure of prohibition to pro hibit the sale of liquor In 'dry' coun ties In Oregon turned the tide. The adoption of the home-rule Is a victory of temperance over prohibition. Citi zens of Oregon have seen both ex tremes tried and after a fair trial, de cided that prohibition does not ab olish the evil of the saloon nnd that regulation measures will accomplish tho desired result. Another thing that hurt the prohibitionists In this election was the campaign of person al vindication and attacks on the character of good citizens who could not bring themselves around to look at the liquor question through pro hibition spectacles. The public does not approve of a campaign of person al mallgnment. no matter what the Issue or cause. But paramount to all, In my opinion, were the principles enunciated by the Greater Oregon Home-Rule association that led to success." JACK JOHNSON NO PUGILISTIC BUBBLE San Francisco. They are still talk ing about the heavyweight fuss up In the' sage brush country and from pres ent appearances there will be nothing to supplant It as a pugilistic theme for some time to come. With Jeffries engaged in piscatori al pursuits and preserving a silence that Is as absolutely golden as Jack Johnson's wold famous giggle, the champion is the man gossips have to do with. It Is Interesting to note the range of the opinions expressed In regard to the Johnson fighting talent. Some of the best Judges or at any rate men who by experience In the ring and nut of it should be the best equip ped to Judge such things will have that Jock Is an accident. One past champion has said that Johnson don't know how to lead and that he wouldn't have as much chance as a bubble In a stoke hole If he had happened along during former Cham plnnship disputes. Vain talk this. '. In this connection the writer would say In reply to the question, "Would Johnson have beaten so and so, when so and so was at his best?" that there Is no means of telling. It Is very foolish to pursue any . line of argu ment that can not be settled by a bet If a person were required to hold the stakes until It could be determined whether the present Jack Johnson could have licked John L. Sullivan of 1885, he, might In all safety regard the funds In hand' as his own personal property. You can't bridge the years In that way. You - can't - compare fighters of different , generations and arrive at a satisfactory conclusion and the best you can say for, Johnson or any oiner cnamp iSj.na. new is ,,tne best of his era. - Another.! thing, the supremacy of CITY OF MEXICO via the Southern Pacific Company LEAVING PORTLAND DECEMBER 11TII AND 12TU 1910 AND SAN FRANCISCO DECEMBER 11, 1010.

McMURRAY, General Passenger Agent, Portland, Oregon. the races in the pugilistic line was not definitely determined at Reno. The result was only a temporary triumph for the negro. If a black horse wins the Futurity this year it does not In dicate that black yearlings will be the safest Investment of the next big sale. A bay or a gray may be the champion of three year old the follow, lng season. As to Johnson's fighting. He may not be able to lead as some of the savants claim and he may not com pare point to point with other world beaters that have strutted for a brief time as champions but he Is a pugi listic wonder just the same. He Is a natural fighter If there ever was one. Just think of all the professors of fisticuffs who were coaching Jef- 1 fries as to how to dodge the famous right uppercut. Yet the right scarce ly figured in the result. It was a left uppercut that Johnson worried and weakened and wore Jeffries with. HOTEL THIEVES IN PARIS. American Tourists Among Hioso Suf fering Losses. Paris. Hotel thieves continue their work. They have Just carried away a large tit-bit from a hotel in the Rue de Rivoll viz. 960 pounds In bank notes. The thieves seem to be long to a rather better organized class U an those who are usually called 'rats" and who, as a rule, purloin purses and Jewels from hotel bed rooms, it was the cashier's till they i aided, and the old telephone trick was brought into use successfully. Three strangers were loitering in the hall of the hotel and managed on various pretexes to get all the at tendauts out of the cashier's room except the cashier. A confederate then rang up the hotel on the tele phone, and the cashier went to ans wer the call. When he went there was no other clerk In the room is not txplnlned. The telephone box is a fow steps from the cashier's room in tho hctel In question. '"he cashier, on leaving his room, double locked the door of the latter, but unwisely oml.tted to lock his safe. The telephone call proved to be, as he thought, a mistake; but this was no surprise to one used to our local telephones and he went back to his office when a real surprise did await him. Tho contents pf his till had dis appeared. How the thieves got into his room is not known, as there were no marks of the door having been broken open. They made away suc cessfully with their plunder, and have not been traced. The booty might have teen larger a few minutes later, as the clerk arrived with some 2,000 pounds more In ready money. A number of American tourists have been robbed by the thieves. TRADE BOOM IN ENGLAND. Tweed Mills Cannot Turn Out Pro duct as Rapidly as Demanded. i London. Greatly to the annoyance ! of politicians who In the recent cam- ' palgn have tried to prove that free ' trade Is ruining the country, Eng-' land is experiencing a big trade boom. The recent gigantic export returns showed how prosperous were some of j the biggest of the English Industries. ' There Is a boom at Northampton, ' and recently news came of a great awakening In the Nottingham lace j and hosiery trade, and In the Scotch woolen trade. 1 1 Indeed, Scotch tweed manufactur- turers have received so many orders for next season that they are being forced to reopen mills which have long been disused. The leading tweed manufacturers have acquired additional mills, and all now In full operation state of affairs unknown In the border towns for many years are now combining to end piracy on the part of foreigners of their newest designs and color ings. For many years trade In Notting ham and the adjacent district has been under a cloud, but the Dally Chronicle correspondent telegraphs that It Is now showing a remarkable revival, especially In lace curtains and hosiery goods. Every available J curtaln-maklng machine he says. Is working at high pressure, and the or ders on hand,, are sufficient to keep factories fully employed for several months. .11, r ; t Read the want ads today. IN BANKRUPTCY.
