WASHINGTON, June 7. Secre
tary Hughes took President Obre

tion memorandum to the cabinet
meeting today. Shortly previous to
the receipt of the Obregon reply, the
Mexican president's advisers here
said it is proable that Obregon will
accept the memorandum as a basis
of negotiations. He will probably
make counter proposals resulting in
the further change of notes. The
state department officials refuse to
reveal the character of the communi
cation. The text of the American
memorandum and Obregon'a reply
will be made public shortly. This is
the first official exchange of com

of the fighting. The airplanes were
vastly useful in obtaining Informa

VOTE IN STATE
IS VERY LIGHT
Indications Are That Less
Than Fifty Per Cent Vote
Will Be Cast. .
BOND MEASURE LEADS
County Project and llonus Bill Are
Two Main Features ou Ballot To
Douglas County Klectors
Two Board System Is
Inaugurated.
From all indications the election
in progress today Is going to be ex
ceptionally light all over the state,
athough the vote In Douglas county
is expected to be higher than the
average reached In other counties -is
the bond Issue will bring out many
voters who otherwise would not take
the trouble to go to the polls.
Judging from preBs expression all
over the state the vote anticipated
is ahout 50 per cent of the registra
tion. Special elections in the past
have brought out about that number
and If anything there Is less Interest
In this special election than In any
held during the past few years. How
ever, several counties are voting on
bond Issues and the city of Portland
has a bonding measure before Its
peoplo which will keep the average
up to a normal figure for the state.
Roseburg precincts reported a
light vote today while from the out
lying districts similar reports are re
ceived. In the country districts vot
ing is considerably heavier as more
Interest has been shown there In all
of the measures than has been dis
played In the city.
Interest Is paramount In the coun
ty's proposal to issue $1,100,000 In
road bonds. This measure has held
the center of attraction for the last
three weeks and meetings have been
held all over the countv. by sup
porters of the plan and also by the
oppositionists. The vote on this
measure Is expected to be heavier
than on any other and there appears
to be a general sentiment that the
bonds will carry, although the ma
jority In favor is anticipated at fig
ures between 100 and 500 votes.
There Is little doubt about the
soldier bonus hill. Early Indications
are that the bonus hill will have
praftlcally no opposition. Little Is
known regarding the frellng on other
bills.
. The two-board system went Into
effect this morning, there being con
siderable difficulty, however, in get
ting the system to work smoothly.
Some did not understand :he Uw
perfectly while there was also a
shortage of equipment In some
places. Special instruction was I
sued by District Attorney Neuner
through Sheriff fltarmer, to the
counting boards about allowing In
formation regarding the results of
election to become known. A sev
ere penalty Is provided In esses
where Information regarding the
count Is allowed to escape from the
room where the count la made.
The two-board system Is tn use
In a large number of precincts of
the county and the votes will be
counted within a few minutes after
the polls close. In other precincts
the count should not take long.
The funeral of the Iste Frank Csr
rjen, will be held In Eugess tomor-
l row at 2 o'clock. Many relatives
and friends expect te leave here this
evening.

Woman Attempts
. to Drown Self
Domestic troubles was the cause
of Mrs. Ruth Hale attempting to
drown herself this morning in the
South Umpqua river at the -foot of
Douglas street, and had It not been
for the timely arrival of her husband
and several neighbors, she would
have made good the attempt.
Mrs. Hale claims that her husband
has been attempting to secure their
child and also causing her a great
deal of trouble of late. Sire has not
been living with him and was about
to start divorce proceedings. She
arrived here recently from MarRh-
neld and shortly afterwards was fol
lowed by her husband. He remained
here a short time and left. She then
secured a family to take care of her
small child and went to work Itr the
Umpqua hotel dining room. Her
husband returned here again yester
day and this morning at about 9
o'clock she received a phone call
from the family caring for her child.
and they stated that her husband
had called and taken the y.ounester
away. She left her place of e:Doy-
mont at once, presumably to find her
husband and regain possession of the
child.
A short time later residents of
West Douglas street noticed a wom
an running at breakneck speed to
ward the river. A man and a child
were following her and the neighbor
joined in the race. Upon reaching
the bank of tire river Mrs. Hale took
off her coat and plunged In. Eye
witnesses claim t bat she went under
once when her husband grabbed her
and pulled her nut upon the bank.
It wns then said that she fought
furiously and It was with some. diffi
culty that she was tnkon to the home
of Mrs. Wick, where she was cared
for.

Many Matters of Routine Bus
iness Considered at Ses
sion Last Night.
REMONSTRANCE FILED
Property Owiwrs - On Flint Street
Object to Pavbig But Suite
WUlliiglieHo to Have Street
Improved By Gravel
Or MiU-adiim.
A lengthy meeting of the city
council was hold last night, there
being a great dertl of minor business
to bo transacted. Aside from the
bridge matter there was little discus
sion, the various affairs being more
of a routine nature.
O. W. Kezartee appeared with a
remonstrance from Flint street resi
dents against paving of the street.
Mr. Kezartee stated that the resi
dents are willing to have the street
gravelled or macadamized but are
not willing to have it paved. The
remonstrance was only against the
paving and did not ask for macadam
gravel. The city will probably
postpone action In this case until the
residents present a petition for grav
eling In which event the petition will
be allowed, unless the residents
take some action, however, the city
will doubtless order an improvement
made.
In the same connection, J. H.
Clark appeared before the council
and asked that the city proceed to
force in the pavement on North
Rose street. He stated that there
will doubtless be little remonstrance
from the resldonts of that section
but that it will probably be impos-
sibe to get a petition signed. At
the request' of the council he agreed
to make an effort to get the prop
erty owners to sign a petition for
the paving.
Mrs. S. M. Stlrnier preseniea
bill for $32 damages alleged to have
occurred when back water from a
sewer, which was being flushed,
flooded two of the rooms of her
house. It seems that the sewer be
came stopped and that In flushing It
the backwater flooded Mrs. Stlch

sugar snd other provisions and nec
essitating the employment of a man
and woman to assist In cloanlng the

COUNCIL ASKED
CONTROVERSY RELATIVE TO
BRIDCE ACROSS UMPQUA
Project Is Now "Up In the Air"
hood Row Over the Several Sites Which Have
Been Proposed City May Lose Park.
With a general tangle and neigh
borhood row tn progress, tbe pros
pects are that Koseburg will lose the
park donation offered by S. D. Evans
and the U. S. Natioual Bank ot Port
land, and the residents ot the south
side ot the river will lose their
bridge. There are three or four op
posing factions all supporting differ
ent Sites and now a new element en
ters Into the discussion aud a new
project Is proposed which will, un
less checked, cause the city the loss
of the park.
There is now a proposition, and
one which it Is well known is favored
by the county court, to construct a
road along tbe base of Nebo to con
nect with the Oak streot bridge and
put a foot bridge across the river at
the site of the old Alexander bridge.
The members of the county court are
known to favor this plan, and unless
held to their agreement to build a
bridge will accept this alternative.
S. D. Evans appeared last night
before the city council and stated
that there Is now being circulated a
petition which will be presented to
the county court asking for the road
and a foot bridge. Mr. Evans has
offered to donate a park site worth a
good many thousand dollars to the
city, tn the event a bridge is con
structed, and he Intimated last night
that unless Immedinte action Is taken
to build a bridge that bis offer will
be withdrawn. He stated thnt in his
belief the petition is purely spite
work and is the outgrowth of dis
agreements between factions con
tending for the upper site and the
Fullerton street site.
Several of the eouncilmen spoke
In favor of the bridge, and expressod
a desire tn see some Immediate ac
tion taken. Councilman Jennings
stated that In his opinion the bridge
should tie located near the old site
and thnt an undor-grade crossing
sh.vild be constructed at the rail
road trestle. This proposition, he
stated, would undoubtedly be per
mitted by the railroad company and
would completely solve the diffi
culty. Ho stated that he had made

TO SETTLE
As a Result of the Neighbor
discussion over the bridge matter,
but failed to reach any kind ol aa
agreement It was tbe unanimous
oplulon that the city cannot afford
to see the bridge project fall, aj the
park site Is one of the best In the
state, and It would be a great loss to
Roseburg It the city should fall to
obtain it
It was finally determined that the
council should appoint a committee
to make an investigation and confer
with the county court relative to the
matter and take such action as shall
be deemed advisable by both the
county and city.
