Stltt Wilson sa Mayor, together with a board of city trustees who win carry out the measures of municipal ownership on which he campaigned and the large vote that was accorded Thomas Booth, the Socialist candidate for Mayor In Oak land, are far from being a serious prob lera politically. There are many angles behind the election of WUson and the vote that was given the Oaklander which will explain In great measure the seeming tendency of Caltfornlans toward Socialism. Interior dissension In the local party councils In both of the cities named, with the usual Jealousy thst extends In pure ly municipal affairs. Is held accountable to a certain degree; but more than that is the report admitted even at Socialist headquarters that the union la Dor people of Alameda County, rather than form a party of their own, have preferred to amalgamate temporarily with the Social ists. Socialists Claim Credit. N This rote, combined with -those who are dissatisfied, the Job-hunters and that sure Dercentaxe of the people who are against the government will account for the vote that has grown in isaKiana from COO for the Socialist candidate In 190, to 6927 In the advisory election re cently held. Socialists will, of course, deny this. Thomas Booth, the Oaklander, and hlg assoclatea who have assisted In engi neering his campaign, as well as J.'

MIDDIES MAY FACE INQUIRY Congre? Seems Prepared to Stake Fight Over "Caste." WASHINGTON. April S3. (Special) Unless signs fall, a fine row Is in prospect In Congress over the old ques tion of caste In the Navy. The apology Offered by the Navy Department as the result of the recent Incident at the Annapolis Academy has aggravated rather than smoothed the situation In certain circles, and champions of the "common people" are duo to let them selves be heard. It Is the view of high officials that an apology Is due Professor Beers, of Tale, and his daughter, who was cut off from participation In social events at the Naval Academy after the mid shipman who took her to one of the hops had been reprimanded for ao doing. At m pinch high officials are likely to defend the caste principle and there the clash would come between . them and the plain members of Congress, who resent the placing ol official social barriers against. a young womati who by force of circumstances, la com pelled to earn henowft living.

DEBATE TO CHANGE VOTES Republicans Divided Over Political Wisdom ot Move Friends De clare It Is Crowning Achieve ment of President. , BY HARRY J. BROWN. OREGONIAN Nf!WS BUREAU. Wash ington. A pill 23. Senators opposed to the Canadian reciprocity bill are pre paring to make a determined fight against It after It has been reported by tb Senate committee on finance. They would starj. their fight In com mittee but for the fact that a. majority of that committee la believed to Btand ready to report, without further Inves tigation, and therefore the .phlef oppo sition will be raised on the floor of the Senate. Possibly the committee will not be aa precipitate In reporting the bill this session as was the old finance co"m mlttee last session, and It may ba that gome members of the committee who do not believe in reciprocity may undertake to postpone the report. But any opposition raised In committee will only be dilatory, and the big struggle will come when the bill Is before the Senate. Personal 'Appeals Mnde. Not only are Senators In opposition to the bill preparing to speak against it, but already they are engaged In missionary work among Senators who are lukewarm and inclined to support It merely because it is an Administra tion measure. In this campaign that Is going on outside the Senate cham ber some of the strongest Republican Senators are engaged, and earnest ap peals are being made to all Senators who are believed to be somewhat In doubt as to the wisdom of ratifying the trade agreement with Canada. Rarely docs debate In either House of Congress change many votes. The public discussion merely affords Sen ators and Representatives an oppor tunity to express their own views, for their own gratification and for the en lightenment of 'the constituency at home. It Is only when a subject la not well understod that the opinions of wiser men Influence the votes of those who are not thoroughly Informed. But It frequently happens that votes can be made by personal appeals that could never be secured through public de bate. And knowing this fact, the op ponents of Canadian reciprocity have started their quiet campaign. Able Speeches Expected. No doubt there will be able speeches In the Senate on both sides of the Canadian reciprocity question, for It Is a topic that has appealed strongly to the deep thinkers and students of that body, and most of them have been giv ing much time to the collection or data and the preparation .of arguments sus taining their personal views.

London Doctor Tells Why Stronger Sex Would Di if He Wore Ball Gown In Winter. LONDON, 'April 23. (Special.) Why can an apparently fragile woman wear "pneumonia blouses" in the Arctic Springs of the British Isles? Why can she walk" about In the thinnest of shoes and transparent stocks when the tem perature is below the freezing point? Why can she do these things and wear an evening costume which would be fatal to'the majority of men, and yet suffer no harm? These are the questions that have puzzled the Dally Mirror. To solve them it applied to "an experienced doctor, who has studied the subject." He had been puzzled by the same prob lems. The scientist discovered that "women have a special layer of fat all over their bodies thicker than man's and acquired when human kind dwelt In caves and huts. In those days," he argued, "men were able to keep them selves warm by hunting and fighting. Woman had to stay at home In the cave to look after the baby and cook her husband's dinner, whenever he might .bring it In. Nature set to work and gradually built up on woman a special layer of projective fat." FARM ELECTRICITY MADE Walla Walla Tillers Find Gasoline Dynamos Are Big- Aid. WALLA WALLA, Wash. April 23. (Special.) Electricity Is to play great part in the farm life of the Wall Walla Valley, according to ranchers o this vicinity and engineers who are engaged in the work of constructing the plants. More than a dozen farmers of the county near here are Installing such plants, and will, develop the elec trlclty for their own use. It la cheaper, farmers assert, who have tried It, to own a small electric plant and to operate it by a gasoline engine than to buy the power, and it costs no more than half what the local public companies are asking to gen erate the power at home, they say. , Many farmers have water power that will enable them to generate all the lectrlclty they need. Power-site hoi ders. are lucky, for they are now plan nlng to do all the chores by electricity instead of by hand. ' GUILFORD PRIZE CO-ED'S Cornell Girl Student Wins $150 for Best English Essay.

D.. in structor in mathematics at Wellesley College, has been notified that she has been elected as a fellow to. the Ameri can Association for the Advancement of Science. Miss Smith's election came partly because of her solution of a prob lem in mathematical science, a problem which has perplexed mathematfeians for nearly a century. After several years of hard work she discovered that Abel's theorems could be used to do Bessel's problems In a quicker and Bimpler manner than was hitherto known. This discovery gave mathematicians and physicists a labor saving method which men of science can fully appreciate. ' Thomas Booth, Candidate for Mayor of Oakland.

The form of pass shall be agreed upon. EL PASO. Tex., April 23. An armis tice of five days, beginning. at noon today, affecting the district between Juarez and Chihuahua and west of the, latter, was made effective today in an I exchange of identical letters signed by General Francisco L Madero, Jr., for the rebels, and General Juan Navarro for the government. The truce provides there shall be no movement of troops of either side dur ing the next five days, and that nrovl- sions aDd medicines may be brought to either camp from the United States without payment of duty. It Is noted that Ojanlga, where a small federal force fs besieged. Is not covered in the ' armistice, the lnsurrecto activity In that district being largely Independent. Other Settlements Expected. It is expected that in tho event of the settlement of tho rebellion in Chi huahua, the situation at Ojanlga and other scattered places throughout tha republic will receive attention. Tha moral effect of the cessation of hos tilities in Chihuahua is regarded as certain to make settlements In other parts of the country. It ' was known that a truce waa agreeable to Madero and a telegram from Mexico City Informed General Madero that General Navarro had been Instructed by President Diaz to enter. into the agreement. 5 Concessions Are Discussed. Tha concessions which tha govern ment is willing to make have been known to General Madero for two weeks, ever since Frederico Moye, a business man of Chihuahua, visited General .Madero at Rancho Bustlllos. They wera discussed In the meeting by tha leaders and members of the peace mission. Those) present were Francisco Ma dero, Sr., father of the rebel leader; the latter's brothers, Alfonso, Gustavo and Raoul Madero ; Pasqual Orozco, the original field leader of the revolu tionists; Par.cho Villa, ex-bandit and. present staunch supporter of Madero; Giuseppe Garibaldi, and General and Senora Madero. Scnora Advises Madero. The last named is accredited a warm supporter of taking Juarez and then talking peace. She feels her husband would ba In better position to talk ' peace from Juarez than from the hills' around it. A representative of tha Associated Press was with the peace party, by Invitation, having been with the lnsurrecto forces much of the time. Much of the discussion was of a nature tha publication of which Is not; desired at this time. It may be said.' however, that General Madero has tha, most authentic' assurances of a liberal attitude on the part of the government. I In fact. It may be said President Diaz Is anxious to adopt every measure that, will insure the return of the revolu-i tlonary soldiers to their farms and. shops' with the feeling that the gov-: ernmejit In Maico City Is their gov-ernmenS-and that every aid the gov ernment cars give them to repair tha ravages of neglect is theirs for tha asking.
