DIAZ TRIED; DEATH
HAY BE SENTENCE
Rumor at Capital Is Rebel Gen
eral Is to Be Shot at
Sunset.
MEXICO CITY IS STIRRED
Friends of Captive Cntlring In Ef
' forts to Obtain Suspension of
Sentence Both Honses of
Congress Convene.
VERA CRUZ, Oct. ' to. The court
martial of General Felix Dlai was be
gun at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The
execution of Senors Lima and Mlgenl.
two of his officers, has been fixed for
tomorrow morning1. It is probable that
General IMa will be shot at the same
time.
The remaining officers of the Dlas
troops will receive sentences of im
prisonment. MEXICO CITY". "Oct. 25. Extra edi
tions of the newspapers late tonight
gave the report that General Felix Dlas,
the leader of the recent revolt at Vera
Cms had been sentenced to death by a
court martial.
Story Is Doubted,
The story was received with doubt by
a large part of the public who were
red octant to believe that the command
ant of the federal forces at Vera Crus
bad Ignored the order of the federal
Judge of the first district court here
removing Diaz from the jurisdiction
of the military court. Nevertheless,
friends of Dlas were untiring tonight
In their efforts to obtain a suspension
of the sentence of death If It has been
Imposed. A, portion of the newspapers
of the capital also are appealing to the
government to spare Dlas and bis of
ficers. Congress Discusses OTstery.
Efforts made to unravel the mystery
urn-rounding- the development at Vera
Cras and to determine why the decision
had been reached to court martial Dlas
received In discussions tonight In both
Houses of Congress. An interpellation
was directed to the President for a
statement of all the facts in the case.
The Cabinet at a late hour, was still In
session. The House adjourned when
Dlas supporters had made their exit,
leaving tbe chamber without a quorum.
It is reported, but officially denied
that a number of members of the Cabi
net will resign tomorrow. The city la
quiet.
An Interesting feature of the situa
tion at Vera Crus is a resort In cir
culation tonight that Dlas has en
trusted to Captain F. H. Hughes, of the
United States cruiser Des Moines,
papers relative to promises of support
made to Dlas by various federal army
officers.
Madera Not to Intervene.
President Madero told tonight a com
mission of students that he would not
interfere with the application of the
full rigor of the law in the case of
Dlas, characterizing him as one who
had revolted on account of personal
ambition and as being the example of j
hU uncle. ex-President Dlas.
"If the great President Juarez had
been able to shoot Pornrio Diaz (when
Juarez was President and Diaz a revo
lutlonist) the nation would have been
freed from 30 years of tyranny and
despotism," added President Madero.
The students' commission in appeal
ing for Diaz presented a letter signed
by 600 students. President Madero,
however, said he would make the an
swer to all. even to women.
A Cabinet Minister explained tonight
tbe immediate execution of Diaz was
improbable. He said the court order
was not intended to bring tbe court-
martial to an end, but would serve as a
stay of execution until an investigation
should develop whether Diaz should be
tried by a civil or a military court. In
case the result of the investigation was
in favor of the military proceedings,
the sentence of the oourt-martlal
would stand.
APPEAli FROM HTOHES HEARD
Garbled Wireless Message Tell of
"Need of Protection."
SAN DIEGO, Cal Oct. 25. A wire
less message from Commander Hughes
of the cruiser Des Moines, now at Vera
Cruz, was picked up in part here to
night. It was directed to Washington
and was badly garbled, but the oper
ators here clearly made out the fol
lowing words:
"Badly in need of protection." The
rest of the message was unintelligible.

NEED OF PARK BONDS TOLD
Park Superintendent Mische Urges
Favorable Vote November a!.
That Portland needs the $2,000,000
to be voted on November t for more
park and development purposes was
tbe statement made last night by Su
perintendent of Parks Mische in his
address before tbe North East Side Im
provement Association, which met in
tbe auditorium of tbe new Albina Li
brary. Mr. Mische "gave a short his
tory of Portland parks, and showed by
comparison that Portland Is behind
other cities in park area. He said that
the general plan for spending, the
4.0J)0,vQ0 it yotad, will, be 'o ut
$1,500,000 ' for acquiring more park
tracts and $500,000 for developments.
He said that it would not be wise to
say just where tracts would be pur
chased, but that a considerable portion
of the money will be spent on tbe East
Side in acquiring more land. Mr. Mische
used maps to explain the park systems
of tbe city, present and prospective.
W. C North said that he had been In
formed that In case the $300,000 for.
the purchase of Ross Island Is not voted
at tbe special election, then the Park
Board will purchase the island out of
the $2,000,000 If voted.
To this Mr. Mische said that the mat
ter bad not been discussed by the
Board. However, Mr. Mische said that
he did not care to say anything abou
the Ross Island purchase, except that
all the -park schemes for Portland, as
prepared by Olmsted and Bennett, In
eluded Ross Island. He further said
that the Ross Island project does not
present any difficult engineering probr
lems.
J. B. Zlegler and James Hawley were
appointed to examine into the condi
tlon of Broadway street between Van
couver avenue and Wheeler street, and
ascertain what steps are necessary to
eliminate the jog where the fill is being
made. " -
It was decided to hold a special meet'
lng next Friday night to consider the
measures to be voted on November 2.
PORT DREDGES MAY AID
GOVERXMEXT TO CUT CHAXXEL
FOR NORTH JETTY WORK.
Plan Is to Rent Equipment So as to
Deepen River From Sand
Island to Fort Canby.
Probability that the Port of PorUand
Commission will rent two of its dredges
to the Government to aid in preparing
for the construction of the north Jetty
at the mouth of the Columbia River
was Indicated yesterday when Marcus
Talbot, manager. . and Captain H. T.
Groves, superintendent of the Port of
Portland. Inspected the waterway
where it is proposed to have the
dredges work. They will be used In
deepening a channel along Sand Island
to Fort Canby to expedite tbe delivery
of equipment and rock to the Jetty
site.
Malor Mclndoe. United, States En
gineers, who Is In charge of the Jetty
work, has applied to the Port of Port
land Commission for the use of the
dredges. The Commission desired to
Inspect the project berore maKing its
decision and Mr. ' Talbot and Captain
Groves went to the mouth of the river
for this purpose. They returned to
Portland last night without reaching a
decision, but will formulate report to
be presented at tbe next meeting oi
the Commission, whlcn will proDaoiy do
held next Thursday.
If the dredees are rented to the Gov
ernment they will not be available
much before the first of tbe year as
work on the river channel has been
laid out that will occupy them until
that time. It Is probable that they
could be spared then for the six
months or more that the Government
Job would require.
The channel that Is tc be oreogen is
regarded as one of the most difficult
tasks of the kind that has come up. A
stretch of bottom must be excavated
for five miles to a depth of 11 feet. At
present .much of it is very shallow. It
Is estimated that 2,250,000 cubic yards
must be moved.
The difficulty, however, lies In the
character of work to be done. The
water along Sand Island becomes so
rough at times that there will probably
be trouble with the pipeline that car
ries excavated material from the
dredge. The fact that this material
must be distributed over a wide area
of shoal .water, ana In some places
where there Is no water at low tide,
also is a troublesome factor. These
difficulties were seen at their worst
yesterday, however, as there was a
heavy gale and a wild sea. A third
element that will make the job an
unusual one is the presence of snags
and broken piling that has been used
in fish, traps.
The channel along Sand Island is
essential to tbe construction of the
Jetty as equipment can be shipped there
now only with difficulty ani not at an
at low 'tide. The Government is now
building quarters for the men who will
be employed, constructing a dock, and
leveling a site for shops and railway
yards for the dump trains. The new
channel could be put to good use as
soon as completed. It would be a
straight channel and would not follow
the shore of Sand Island as closely , as
is necessary at present.
SUFFRAGE IS DEBATED
IilXCOMT HIGH SCENE OF INTER
ESTING ARGUMENT.
Colonel .Robert A- Miller Upholds
Right of Women to Vote and
Judge Corliss Opposes.
The women who don't want to vote
and ' the women who do each heard
their sentiments voiced by their chosen
champions at the Lincoln High School
last night, when Colonel Robert A.
Miller, for the Oregon Equal Suffrage
League, and Judge Guy C H. Corliss,
for the State Association Opposed to
Equal Suffrage, met in debate. Re
tainers of both eldei of the question
were out in force, and the auditorium
was nearly filled. The audience was
generous In applause, ana botn speak
ers, as they concluded their arguments,
were given prolonged salvos of ap
preciation.
Judge Corliss maintained that while
woman may have a right to vote irom
a moral standpoint, the granting of
equal suffrage would not tend to
simplify the solution of present poli
tical problems, but would add that
much to her duties without benefitting
her or the body politic in the least
"Suffrage is not a question of rlgh
at all," said tbe speaker. "It is a"
question of expediency alone. It is a
question of whether the granting of
the ballot will or will not facilitate
the business of Government." Through-
Unit his address Judge Corliss main
tained that equal . suffrage would In
volve rather than simplify govern
mental matters.
Arguing that woman is entitled to
the ballot not only as a moral, but
as a political and economic right. Colo
nel Miller made an impassioned plea
for the adoption of the equal suffrage
amendment In Oregon.
"Women want no privileges that men
do not possess," he declared. "It is
simply a matter of Justice. Whether
women want to vote or not, and my
opponent declares that they don't. Is
beside the question. I believe that they
do want to vote, but they should have
the right to vote whether they want
to use it or not, the same as men."
Colonel Miller ridiculed the Idea that
the possession of the privilege of the
ballot will tend to mar the spiritual
nature OI woman. xie )ieuiait?u luai
women will not be soiled by plunging
Into the nool of politics, and maintained
that the feminine opponents of equal
suffrage, by their activity in the pres
ent campaign, had either refuted their
own logic or else had already suffered
the taint that they asserted would
ensue in case tbe amendment carried.
Colonel C E. 8. VV ood argued ior

500 HEAR TAX DEBATE
TJ'REN ANT SHIELDS ARGUE AT
HOOD RIVER MEETING.
Latter Says System In Canadian
' Provinces Fonnd Ruinous and
Kills Land Sale Values.
HOOD RTVER, Or., Oct 26. (Spe
cial.) The debate here tonight be
tween Charles H. Shields and W. S.
ITRen on the single tax question, de
spite the rain storm, drew a crowd of
men and women of more than 500. Mr.
U'Ren, who had the floor first with a
10 minutes' speech, used arguments al
most identical with those advanced in
Portland last night, declaring that the
graduated tax as proposed by himself
and colleagues was not that of Henry
George. He also mode an appeal for
support of the proposed amendment.
declaring that it would tax the man
who lives from the labor of others and
exempt the toller. He cited as exam
pies of successfully single taxed coun
tries the provinces of British Columbia
and Alberta.
Mr. U'Ren endeavored to show by a
series of figures that the small farmer
would pay less tax under the single
tax system than under the present
system.
In answer to the latter argument
Mr. Shields in his reply said: "We do
not attempt to answer your figures, for
they amount to nothing. Men whom
yon yourself acknowledge as the pil
lars of the single tax movement admit
that an application of single taxe will
cause the selling value of land to dis
appear. People will not come to a
state and invest their money where
they know the value of land will dis
appear."
"Oregon has been selected by the
single tax commission where the sin
gle tax principle Is to be tested.
"And how about British Columbia
and Alberta?" asked Mr. Shields. Twen
ty municipalities have recently held a
meeting declaring that the single tax
as applied there is ruinous. And in those
provinces he cited extracts from the
laws showing that income and other
forms of taxation played an Impor
tant role.
Mr. TTren admitted that he was paid
by Fels and the tax commission and
then asked Mr. Shields to explain
where his funds came from.
"An expert accountant has Just fin
ished with our books," be said. "The
figures show that we have used but
117,000, compared with $40,000 made
use of by your single tax campaign.
Mr. U'Ren recently called on me to see
my books. It was In the morning and
at the time they were not complete.
However, he was Invited back in the
afternoon, when everything would have
been at his disposal. He failed to
come. He does not want to know. He
would rather tell you that ha hasn't
been able to find out how much we are
spending or from whom the funds are
coming.
He declared that Mr. U'Ren made an
asset of such ignorance.
"To whom do you go," he concluded,
"when you want money for your T. M.
C. A. buildings, public charities or for
funds to conduct work for the public
good? It is from such men that we
have secured our money, money that Is
used to ward off a calamity."
CHARGES MADE TV REPORT
FILED BY ESTERLT.
Governor Makes Comment on Infor.
matlon Supplied Him by Spe
cial Prosecutor.
SALEM, Or.. Oct. 15. (Special.) "In
formation which has been filed with
Special Prosecutor Esterly, of Portland,
would indicate that Paul Wessinger,
president of tbe Welnhard Brewery,
and his associates, have been leasing
property which Is being used for dis
orderly houses and If this proves true,
and the matter. is now under investi
gation, we expect to start a suit to have
such property declared a public nui
sance," said Governor West today.
T think in the end Mr.- Wessinger
probably will find It more profitable
to confine himself to the manufacture
of beer and to Its sale in accordance
with the laws of this state than to
carry a side line of city politics and
disorderly houses.
Further than this. Special Prose
cutor Esterly advises me that the brew
ery people are willing to quit the Jef
ferson-Street Depot with their saloons
if I will let up In . my fight on the
brewery.
I have told Mr. Esterly to advise
them that if they will vacate the depot
with their saloons I will quit scrapping
with them as far as tbe three saloons
are concerned, but I will not cease
fighting them until they show some
disposition to observe the laws of this
state."
From the Governoi-s statement h
Intimated that-the deal, which it Is al
leged the Welnhard Brewery Company
proposed whereby It would vacate the
Jefferson-Street Depot of the Oregon
Electric for saloon purposes providing
the Governor would call off his dogs of
war, will result in the war being all
the more relentlessly waged.
The Jefferson-Street saloon fight de
veloped some time ago when tbe Jov-
r .-v
i aAx
53
ernor said he would take steps to
have the rooms in the depot vacated,
as he considered the saloons so located
wher It is necessary for all travelers
either on the Salem-Eugene division or
the Forest Grove division of the road
to pass by their doors, as a public nui
sance. He said that the saloons emitted
from their doors drunken men who
occupied seats provided for passengers
of the railroad and that generally the
saloons were so placed as to be dis
agreeable and unpleasant to travelers.
EMPHATIC DENIAL IS MADE
Mr. Wessinger Courts Full Investi
gation of Charges.
Mr. Wessinger, when shown the
above dispatch, said: "The Henry
Welnhard , estate Is very careful in se
lecting its tenants, and all Its leases
provide . that the lessees 'must strictly
comply with all the ordinances of the
City of Portland and the laws of the
State of Oregon, and that the premises
must not be used for any Immoral or
offensive purposes.' "
"The estate is not aware," said Mr.
Welnhard, "that any of Its properties
or any premises under lease to it are
used for any such purposes as it is al
leged, and It courts a full investiga
tion. It will easily be shown that the
estate uses the greatest care that the
provisions of the leases are complied
with.
"The estate pays Into the State of
Oregon taxes in excess of $60,000 this
year, and a large part of that sum goes
Into the police fund. Would it not be
fair to expect, and we certainly deem
it to be a fact, that the authorities
should exercise a strict vigilance that
the law be observed, not only in every
other citizen's premises, but also in
those owned and controlled by the
Henry Welnhard estate? We believe we
are entitled to that.
As far as "showing some disposition
to observe the laws of the state," is
concerned. Mr. Wessinger says most
emphatically that his company has done
so at all times, without being asked or
urged by anybody. "The brewery is
under a heavy bond $75.000 to the
United States Government, and It Is
obvious that the greatest care is taken
to comply strictly with the law," said
Mr. Wessinger. "We are not aware of
