PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT OF

Orozco Move
ment JUAREZ, Mexico, May 11. General
Pastual Orozco, farmer, rancher and
soldier of meager education, tonight
holds the balance of power in the Mex
ican revolution.
Though Orozco with 7000 men is
face to face with a federal army that
is pressing him back toward the bor
der and the outcome of the battle is
uncertain, the developments of the
day, chiefly the abdication of Emilio
Vasquez Gomez of the provisional
presidency, which he ceremoniously
assumed a week ago tonight, indicate
that the money interests behind Mex
ico's present disturbances must con
tinue to court Orozco's favor.
Emilio Vasquez Gomez is in hiding
tonight. Once a member of the Cabi
net of President De la Barra, and the
brother of Dr. Francisco Vasquez
Gomez, recently defeated for the vice
presidency, the little man fled for
his life early today across the Rio
Grande to United States territory,
where he was found in a boarding
house in El Paso late today. He declin
ed to make any statement
Jose Cordova, secretary of the State
of Chihuahua, who bears Orozco's an
swer to the Gomez proposel of a pro
visional government, arrived here to
night. Reliable information tonight was to
the effect that a group of men who
once surrounded ex-President Diaz
had been financing the Orozco move
ment through the agency of Gonzao
C. Enrile, now in Chihuahua, but that
another set of capitalists had sprung
up who were seeking to oust the En
ristas and control Orozco's hand. In"
the underground contest between
these financial factions Gomez who
could furnish only politcial ambitions
was lost.

but I am disappointed that I cannot
be a contender in the great automo
bile race which is being conducted by
the Morning and Weekly Enterprise.
Even though I am a stranger, and
have not made many friends here as
yet, I believe if I had been able to
have started with the others in the
race I could have won the automobile
easily. It is such a fine chance for
someone, and especially a girl to get
a machine for a few hours work da
ily. And oh, how much fun a person
could have in dear old Clackamas, tak
ing spins along the beautiful roads
in the good old summer time. I do
hope the Enterprise will offer anoth
er machine soon, and if it does, I am
going to start in right away. I am
not able to buy a machine now, but
I am able to work for one under such
favorable conditions as are tvesented
by the Enterprise. -1 guess I am a
little too late for this one, but next
time just watch this little Yankee

And she meant every word she said.

LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS CHARM
ING ARTIST AT MATINEE
RECITAL
SONGS IN 3 LANGUAGES RENDERED
Although Little Older . Than Girl
Dramatic Soprano Proves
, That She Is Foremost
Artist
Mrs. Henry .William Metzger, of
Portland, sang before a large audi
ence at Woodmen Hall in a matinee
recital Saturday. The audience was
composed of members of the Derthick
musical society and their friends and
was the concluding open meeting for
the season of 1911-12. The hostesses
for the afternoon were Mrs. George
A. Harding, Mrs. E. T. Avison, Mrs.
Neita Barlow Lawrence and Mrs. E.
E. Brodie.
Mrs. Metzger gave a varied program
in a most charming manner. , Her
voice is a dramatic soprano of splen
did range and volume and of beautful
quality. From 'her first number un
til the last she proved that she must
be considered in the artstic class.
Shr sang songs in English, eGrman
and French, ever with a ringing clear
enunciation.
The program opened with two arias
from "La Boheme," the first solo of
"Mimi" with its sweet simplicity, and
the second the waltz song of the co
quette "Musetta." She responded to
an encore with Massenet's "Elegy"
with its haunting note of sadness.
The second group "A Rose Cycle"
(Liza Lehmann)'eonsisted of seven
songs of the life of a rose and calls
for a variety of tune. She clearly de
monstrated the dramatic quality of
her voice in this most difficult num
ber. The third song, "The Bee,' Mrs.
Metzger gave with a dainty,
pianissimo tone; in contrast to this
was the last" sang "Rosa Resurget"
with its climax on high b, given in full
voice. For encore Mrs. Metzger gave
"Where Blossoms Grow."
The last group consisted of "In The
Churchyard" Brahms; 'Birthday
Song" Cowen; "The Day is Done,"
Lang; "Serenade," Strauss,' and "The
Years at the Spring," Beach. After
insistent encore Mrs. Metzger repeat
ed "The Years at the Spring" and in
response to a double encore "Comin'
Thro' the Rye," which she gave in a
charmingly girlish manner.
Though Mrs. Metzger is scarcely
more than a girl she demonstrated she
is one of Oregon's foremost artists.
Mrs. R. C. .Hammond . was a - very
abje and sympathetic -accompanist.

P0LI1SBACK0FIT,
SAYS BROWNELL
CONFIDENT CLIENT WILL WIN CASE
"TIME HAS COME," DECLARES
LAWYER, "WHEN REPUB
LICANS SHOULD QUIT
NONSENSE AND LAY
OUS1ES"
Charged with a violation of Section
3519 of the statutes relating to elec
tion, Gutsav Schnoerr, Republican
nominee for representative, President
of the Deutsche Vereln of Clackamas
County, and Vice-President of the
Consolidated German Societies of Ore
gon, was arraigned Saturday before
Judge Campbell, given until June 3 to
plead and released upon his own re
cognizance. This specific charge is
criminally libeling C. Schuebel, of the
law firm, of U'Ren & Schuebel.
Messrs. Schuebel and Schnoerr were
candidates for the Republican nom
ination for representative at the re
cent primary and both were success
ful. Mr. Schuebel is accused of hav
ing made attacks upon Schnoerr,
charging him with being a corporation
candidate. Schnoerr retaliated by pub
lishing an advertisement in the Morn
ing Enterprise," of Oregon City, in part,
as follws:
"Mr. Schuebel tries to make his aud
ience believe that the 'interests' or
certain parties have 'bought' me. Be
not deceived; not I, but he has been
bought, if signs fail not, and because
he is used to being bought and sold, as
everyone knows, he made an effort to
buy me in my own house. This hap
pened on March 31, 1912."
The indictment of Mr. Schnoerr his
friends say, will react on the persons
who fought him. Although the indict
ment was returned several days ago
Judge Campbell ordered it kep sec
ret until Mr. Schnoerr with his at
torney, - George C. Brownell, went to
court to plead Saturday morning. "W.
S. U'Ren, who aided in drafting the
Corrupt Practices Act, appeared be
fore the Grand Jury as private prose
cutor. Mr. U'Ren declares that the
Schnoerr adver.tise.ment was a gross
violation of the act. .
This is the first prosecution in this
county under the section of the statute-
relating to elections.
Mr. Brownell, attorney for Mr.
Schnoerr when asked what he thought
of the indictment, laughed and said it
was a "foolish piece of business, orgi
nating through the influence of politi
cal enemies, and for the purpose of
endeavoring to discredit Mr. Schnoerr,
who is one of the leading German
American citizens and a man who has
