OF SCOTS' DEBATE
MAX TELFORD, PIONEER BULL
MOOSE, MAKES FIGHT FOR
. ' COLONEL
WILLIAM M'LARTY ARGUES FOR TAFT
Major C. S. Noble Declares Wilson
Will Win Issues to be Discus
ed at Next Meet
" "ng
It was unanimously agreed by the
members of the audience that honors
were about even when the great po
litical debate, participated in by Max
Telford, William McLarty and Major
C. S. Noble was finished at the meet
ing of the Robie Burns Society at Wil
lamette Hall Monday evening.
- -JT, i" v
Major C. S. Noble, one of the speak,
ers in the Robbie Burns debate..
There were more than 100
after the cessation of oratory
refreshments were served. Rev. J.
R. Landsborough was president of the
meeting and Rev. G. N.' Edwards was
an interester member of the audience
Mr. McLarty, who championed the
cause of Mr. Taft, made a fine impres
sion. He called attention to what the
president had accomplished, and de
clared this was not the time to elect
either Colonel Roosevelt or Professor
Wilson. His argument was well pre
snted and the applause which punc
tuated his address indicated that the
president had the largest number of
friends in the audience. Mr. Telford,
the original Bull Moose man of Clack
amas County, did not mince matters.
He admitted the Colonel carried a big
stick and declared that it had been
used for the best interests of the
country. Mr. Telford said the condi
tions were unusual and that Colonel
Roosevelt probably was the best man
in the country to be at "the helm. He
recited briefly what Mr. Roosevelt
had accomplished, declaring that the
Colonl had -been robbed at Chicoga
and said he would be elected if the
people) realized the candidate who
stood for their interests.
Major Noble said there was little
question as to Mr. Wilson's election.
He declared that the Republican par
ty was hoplessly divided, which
could mean nothing else than Demo
cratic victory. The speaker asserted
that, unless conditions changed, the
Democratic nominee would be swept
into the white house on a tidal wave.
The meeting was harmonious
throughout, and was. such a big suc
cess that it was decided to have a
similar debate with the same speak
ers at the next meeting, which; will
be a few days before the election.
BROWNELL PLEADS
FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE
One of the best addresses on "Wo
man's Suffrage" ever made in " the
county was that by George C. Brown
ell at Estacada Sunday afternoon. Al
- most 1,000 persons were present, and
the speaker was applauded through
out his address. Many residents of
Eagle Creekj Springwater and Gar
field attended. The speaker made
many convincing arguments, one of
the strongest being there are more
than 8,000,000 women; in the United
States who are self-supporting, and
consequently for self-protection
should tave the right of, suffrage. He
said that in states where women vote
better men and women - have been
elected to office than in other states
and that the influence of the ballots
cast by women had a great effect on
the men.
Announcement was made at the
conclusion of the address that, a
prominent speaker from Portland
would speak Friday afternoon at the
State Fair on "Woman's Suffrage."

Nichols, an American fruitgrower for
whose release the American Ambas
sador, Henry Lane Wilson, made a
peremptory demand on Governor Mat
ias Guerrera, of the state of Tamaul
ipis, has been removed from the Tem-
pico jail and placed in a hospital un
der guard. Nichols is ill and his life
was in jeopardy as a result of his con
finement. This action was taken by order of
the supreme court judge, who pre
viously had ordered his reimprison.
ment, and it has relieved a situation
that was becoming fast acute. Nich
ols was sentenced to eight years' im
prisonment on the charge of having
killed a Mexican robber. The court
is reconsidering his case disregarding
the confession of a Mexican who ad
mitted that he was the slayer of the
robber.
Governor Guerrera acted promptly
on the demand of the American Am
bassador and gave assurances by tel
egraph to Mr. Wilson that he would
give the matter his personal atten
tion, until it had been arranged to
the satisfaction of the Ambassador.
In his message the Governor practic
ally admits the innocence of Nichols
and says if there has been an error
in imposing sentence on the Ameri
can, it was due to ignorance on the
part of the judge, rather than to per
secution. Ambassadar - Wilson expressed him
self as satisfied for the present, but
will admit of no unnecesary delay in
further proceedings, which he is con
fident will result in freeing Nichols.
Senor Lascuriano, Mexican Foreign
Minister,, expressed his indignation at
the action of the supreme court of
Tamaulpas inj ordering the reimpris
onment of Nichols,, who before the
appeal had been removed from the
jail and kept under guard at a local
hospital.
The Ambassador has been advised
that Nichols is ill and that his life
is in jeopardy as a result of his con
finement. The charge against him is
the killing of a robber, Caballos, who
had been pursued by the authorities
for months.
While the situation on the northern
border of Mexico appears less acute
as the result of the dissipation of the
larger rebel forces in! the neighbor
hood of important towns, today's re
ports from the country at large were
anything but encuraging to those who
haw looked for an early return of
peace.-
Among the many points mentioned
iiy the official dispatches, the only
peaceful spot appears to be the state
of Tobasco, where there have been no
disturbances for the past month.

WASHINGTON. Sept.' 23. Th
American Consul at Foo Chow, China,
reports me situation is extremely
criticaL The Pekin government is
sending a Iaregr force to remove
from office the chief of police, who, de-
iing me autnonty of the central
government, threatens to destroy the
city in case he is attacked. The con
sul also reports unrest in the country
districts.
The state department is not likely
to change its attitude toward the new
Chinese republic as a result of the
letter sent by the China Society of
America to President Taft, asking for
formal recognition of that govern
ment. Officials feel the appeal is
founded -upon a misconception of the
conditions existing in China.
The United States has been in com
munication on the subject to insure
the existence of the new republic as
an independent government, and they
all have agreed that recognition
should be deferred until the present
provisional government gives place
to a constitutional government

ritory of the New Jersey Company?"

WILLAMETTE HAS A BIG INCREASE
Enlarging of Barclay Building Makes
It Unnecessary to Have Grammar
Grade Classes In -High

Superintendant F. J. Tooze, of the

ces the largest attendance in the
history of the schools.
was probably larger than that at the
high school. An addition having been
made to the Barclay building by con-
verting the gymnasium into school
rooms, Superintendant Tooze said
that it would be unnecessary to have
any grammar classes in the high
school building. This structure which
was completed last year, is not any
too large for the pupils of the high
school and if the attendance increases
es in the future as it has the past
two years, it will not be long before
it will be necessary to enlarge this
building.
." Superintendant Tooze said Monday
evening that everything! was ready
for a successful year in all the
schools and that from the opening
nntil the closing day the teachers and
children would be expected to do their
best. Mr. Tooze announced that sev
eral families were anxious to aid boys
and girls from the country who were
desirous of doing work about the
house for their board in order to ob
tain educations- He has obtained
places for several boys and girls in -
Oregon City homes. -
