' (
Mr. HudHpeth Declares American Gov
ernment Should Keep Troops lit
Mexico Until Stable Government Is
Established There Carranza Fails
In Obligations of Nation,
(Br Associated Preia to The Observer'
WASHINGTON, July 26. Military
occupation of Mexico by the United
States was advocated by Representa
tive Hudspeth, Democrat, Texas, in
an address today in the house. He
urged withdrawal of American recog
nition of the Carranza government,
and said American tops should be
kept in Mexico until a stable govern
ment has been established.
"The time has arisen,"' declared Mr.
Hudspeth, "when this government
Bhould Bay to Carranza, 'you have not
fulfilled your obligation in the protec
tion of American lives, so we with
draw recognition of you and will put
troops in Mexico to protect American
lives until order is restored there.' "
After reading the resolution recent
ly adopted by the Texas senate, which
asks the federal government either to
use troops or permit the state to act,
Mr. Hudspeth added:
"But that is not necessary."
"The flae," he said, pointing to the
Stars and Strines hanging over the
. . speaker's desk'iia .sufficient." ,.
This remark, as also his declaration
for military intervention, was ap
plauded by the members. In urging
military intervention, Mr. Hudspeth
declared he was not a "jingo," and
that he only asked for the protection
of American lives.
. ASKS SAFETY FOR AMERICANS.
WASHINGTON, July 26. Henry
P. Fletcher the United States ambas
sador to Mexico, in telegrams today
to the Mexican senate and house of
representatives requested their "pa
triotic co-operation towards securing
their admission and adequate protec
tion of the lives of Americans in Mex
ico," so that "unhampered enjoyment
by Americans of property rights, law
fully acquired in Mexico, which is ac
corded them in other friendly coun
tries," might be obtained.
Mr. Fletcher's telegrams were in
reply to messages received from mem
bers of the Mexican senate and house,
thanking him for his fair and impar
tial statement of conditions in Mex
ico, made recently before a commit
tee of the American house of repre
sentatives.

PLAY OFF FINAL .
GAME WITH COVE
THIS AFTERNOON
Thi afternoon Manager C. II
Scranton will take his bunch of huso
ball proteges on a little picir.c over
to Cove to show the crowd of ball
tossers" over .tlfcpe that though they
have cinched the pennant in the leaguff
this year, they are not necessarily th
best team in the league. Scrant.m's
outfit has been soming along rapidly
during the latter part of the season,
and though their improvement in form
is too late to win them the. leagje
honors they are showing that thw
would have made Cove worry decid
edly more had the season lasted a f" v
weeks longer. Numerous fans from
here are expected to make the trip.
A good game in all' respects is ex
pected this afternoon. Cove has i
team that is composed of splendid fel
lows and first-rate ball players and
I the local bovs have nothing but thi
hest regard for them. Thev are ini
pressed by the showing Cove has made
this year, but considering the hear;
and all-the-time support the Cove peo
pie have given their team, they do no
wonder at the result. Both fans anil
players are sportsmen at Cove and
they play the game both ways at all
times. The locals arc anxious to sei'
a good sized crowd go along witb
them today and take in the game.

Speculation as to whom will be
named to succeed W. L. Thutnpson on
the Highway Commission when he re
moves from Pendleton to Portland,
continues to spread. Portland news-,
papers have listed a number of men
who seem available, and it is under
stood quite a little work has been
done in behalf of some of the candi
dates. The latest development, however, is
the news that Daniel Boyd, prominent
Enterprise man, has a number of
friends in Willamette valluy who arc
urging his appointment. Mr. Boyd is
not seeking the place, and for that
matter it is known that none of the
men thus far mentioned are seeking
it, but there is quite a strong senti
ment being moulded for the man from
Enterprise.
He is one of the beiit known men in
tho state and has a good knowledge
of conditions in most of the counties.
Thi feature is necessary to a good
commissioner, for the man who knows
the state is of far greater value than
one who is not familiar with it.
When Coos Bay people ask for a
road, the commissioner should be able
to have some iden of what the nature
of the request is without being forced
to make a trip there. The same in
true of all sections of the state.
Mr. Boyd has traveled over Oregon
a great deal and is a mini who has
always kept in touch with the pnr
gross of the state. He knows many
men m Oregon and is looked upon as
ono available man who would make on
excellent commissioner.

REACHING OF AGREEMENT
DEPENDS ON PRESIDENT
Next Move In the Senate Disagree-
ment Over the Reservations Is Ex
pected to Come From Chief Execu-.
tive Expert Legal Advice Recom
mended by Lodge.
D7 Associated Press to The Observer)
WASHINGTON, July 2G. The next.
important move in the senate dis
agreement over the reservations in
the pcice treaty Is expected to como
from President Wilson.
Having canvassed the senate situa
tion in various conferences with 15
Republican senators, all of whom are
said to have told him they would rup-
port certain reservations, it ii ex
pected tho President soon will mako
known his attitude on such a course.
It was intimated at tho White House
today that expression of his views on
the subject might have to wait his
speaking tour to begin two wcika
hence, but might be embodied in a
public statement in a few days.
Today Chairman Lodge discussed
some features of the treaty with Se -rotary
Lansing. Mr. Lodge, it is un
derstood, has suggested that the "om-
mittce have the benefit of expert ad
vice on some sections, niirtiriiliirlu ''
those dealing with enemy ahen proper
ty. It is expected Bradley Palmer and
othors who advised the American
peace delegation will nppear before
the committee next week.
Prsiident Wilson had intended, il
was -,n'd, to go to the capiul Soiiiij
and talk ovci tho treaty situation with
adn 'niitiat'tp senntors'. Ho abandon
ed the plan, however, when h learned
tho renrtr w.s not in session nd that
Senator fliti'lcock, Nebraska, admin
istration leader, was out of town. Thd
foreign lelat'cns committee held re
cess over today and will meet again
Monday, when it expects to complete
the first reading of the treaty.
In the opinion of many Republican
senntors, lines to be drawn in the res
ervations controversy will bo left, tn
tircly.with the President. They nay
if he gives his assent to a rcscrvatioi,
program designed to further Kn'e
guard national inte.-ests they quickly
can como to such an ngreemcnt as to
insure ratification, but if ho takes an
uncompromising attitude for unre
served ratification and then by publia
speeches attempts to discredit sena
tors holding out against it, opposition
leaders look -for a. long fight.
