SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 31. (Special.)
After today treatment of hookworm
by Government doctors at the Immigra
tion station at Ansel Island will cease,
and In the future all Orientals entering
this port who are affected with the dis
ease will be deported.
Commissioner of Immigration Backus
was today notified by the Department
of Commerce and Labor that the Gov
ernment would no longer treat cases of
hookworm, because it has become too
burdensome.
Since the immigration authorities at
this port first came in contact with the
peculiar and deadly disease two years
ago, when every ship arriving from the
Far East was bringing from 20 to 10 !
Hindus here, more than 5000 cases hivei

WOMAN PLEADS GUILTY
Mrs. II. Hall, of Lebanon, Admits
Allegation of Bootlegging."
Charged under an indictment with
being a "bootlegger." Mrs. H. Hall, of
Lebanon, pleaded guilty in the United
States District Court yesterday and
upon the suggestion of United States
District Attorney McCourt, her sentence
was continued until the last day of
the present term of the court. She was
released on $1000 bonds.
The woman had been arrested by the
state authorities at Lebanon on a simi
lar charge, but sentence was suspend
ed by the court when It was learned
that a Federal indictment had been
returned against her. "Bootlegging"
is specifically defined in the United
States statutes as one of selling liquor
from the person without having first
procured a Government license.
PAMPHLETS LIE UNCLAIMED
0er 15,000 Initiative and Referen
dum Documents Relumed.
SALEM. Or., Oct 81. (Special.) It
Is estimated that nearly 15,000 of the
initiative and referendum pamphlets
sent out by the office of the Secretary
of State are lying unclaimed in various
Oregon postoffices. Thirteen cases, or
over 2000. pamphlets are being re
shipped to Salem from Portland alone.
The cause of this condition is found
to be due to changed addresses after
registration of voters and, In some
cases, to the voters giving their pre
cinct address rather than their post
office address.

Brennan testified that Herbert S.
Hockln said he had visited McNamara

them get Burns and Drew."
In connection with the alleged plot,
the witness said, a bundle containing
bomD attachments, on May 8, 1912. was
found In the union station at Indian

is anxious' for us to get Burns and
Drew." Johannsen then added to
Hockin: "After you return .to Indian
apolis a strange man will appear on
the scene. You will know him wnen
he says T am Arrow, not Darrow.'
When he says those words to you, you

Threat Made That Relations Will Be
Broken if Tactics Are Xot
Mild Enough.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal.. Oct
31. Formal warning to the University
of California that no "unsportsmanlike
tactics" will be tolerated In the inter
collegiate football game of November 9
was forwarded today by Stanford Uni
versity officials, after a consultation.
President David Starr Jordan also
gave out an Interview on the subject
"The Stanford athletic committee
have been Instructed to suspend all
football relations with the University
of California, if any rough or unsports
manlike tactics are used," he said. "No
relations will be opened until the game
can be played without reproach."
The Stanford authorities, since the in
tercollegiate game last year, have com
plained more or less about the way the
California boys, play and today's warn
ing, mailed to Dr. Frank Angell, chair
man of the committee of the California
coaches. Is said to have followed close
observation of this year's games with
the Waratahs, the Barbarians and the
Olympic Club.
The student body here is much
wrought up and is seeking an amicable
settlement through the California stu

right and content again."

Into Trap, Then Strikes Crushing

Army From Capital.
LONDON, Nov. 1. Nazlm Pasha, the
Turklah Miniate r of War and Commander-in-Chief
la Thrace, has either
been abot or taken prisoner, according
to a dispatch from Sofia to the Post.
LONDON, Oct. 81. A four days' bat
tle in Thrace has ended in the triumph
of the Bulgarian Commander-in-Chief,
General Savoff, whose skillful strategy
has probably brought to a close one of
the shortest and most remarkable wars
on record.
A great Turkish army, estimated at
more than 200.000 men, has been de
feated and is in retreat.
Constantinople is believed to be at
the mercy of the victorious Bulgarian
army and a council, sitting at the
porte, Is discussing the advisability of
suing for peace.
Retreat to Capital Cat Off..
Such is the news which comes from
Constantinople. It is only a fortnight
since Turkey declared war. The first
week of the campaign closed with the
dramatic fall of Kirk Kilisseh, fully
revealing for the first time the disor
ganization, bad morale and Inefficient
commissariat of the Turkish army. To
day that army is defeated, routed with
in 50 miles from Constantinople, and
possibly Its re.tr--.-at within the capital's
l'i" of defenses Is cut olt.
Only the briefest and vaguest ac
counts of the great battle have as yet
been received, for the war has been
especially remarkable In that not a
single war correspondent has been al
lowed at the front except In the case
of the little Montenegrin campaign
against Scutari.
Accounts Biased or Confused.
Thus no Independent personal nar
ratives of the absorbing events have
been possible, and the world has had
to depend on biased official accounts
provided by the respective governments
or confused details supplied by wound
ed soldiers.
Apparently Nazlm Pasha has been
completely outmaneuvered by Savoff's
skillful generalship. The Bulgarian
turning movement along the Black
Sea coast now appears to have been a
feint, which Induced the Turkish com-

Eugene Printers Beseech Backers of
Literature Against Cause to Coino
Out Law Is "Club."
EUGENE, Or., Oct 31. (Special.)
Satisfied with the warning given the
state concerning anti-suffrage litera
ture that was being printed In Eugene
without signature would be sufficient
and also modified by the efforts of the
printers to secure permission from their
customers to make a statement to the
public of the whole transaction, local
members of the Equal Suffrage
League declined today to swear out
warrants charging violation of the
corrupt practices act. District Attor
ney Bryson said he had had a telephone
message from Attorney Logan, In Port
land, wherein the Portland man was
assured that the prosecutor's office
in Eugene is ready to prosecute when
ever evidence Is furnished to warant
such proceedings.
"There seems to be a movement,"
said Mr. Bryson. "for the people who
ordered the anti-suffrage work to come
out into -the open and acknowledge
their literature. If this Is done, much
of the necessity for prosecution would
be done away with. There are, of
course, scores of unwitting violations
of the law in its strict interpretation,
and to start on this case would open
up a long line of litigation. However,
if there Is no effort to make known
the authors of these circulars, then
their issuance would be a flagrant vio
lation of the corrupt practices act that
a test of the law most certainly should
be mude."
"We are perfectly willing to let the
people know about these circulars,
said Mr. Koke, of Yoran & Koke, this
afternoon, "in all probability we will
be able to make a statement by to
morrow morning. One thing we feel
safe in saying at this time, is that we
are certain that the liquor Interests
did not order this printing."

At the Star Theater are being shown

Colonel Roosevelt in front of the Gll-
patrick Hotel at Milwaukee. He is
shown being taken from Jail to court
for his preliminary hearing in the eua

idea of -the man can be gained from
the pictures.
He is an undersized man, of a dull
cast of features, and does not show any
excitement or fear as he is being hur
rled through the streets, and from
what the pictures Indicate he Is argu
ing with his custodians, and once it is
shown that his slow walk Is hastened
by a quick jerk on the chain attached
to his handcuffs. These pictures will

All that prevento-1 the erection there
In the last five or tix years of a mod
ern building was the fact that the
property became Involved in litiga
tion following the lease in February,
1907, to J. Whyte Evans. litigation
which was ended only through the
denial of the Federal Court at San
Francisco last month of rehearing of
the suit brought against Mr. Evans and
his successors by Mr. Pittock for an
annulment of the lease. The suit was
started about 18 months after the lease
first was made on the ground that
the lessees had failed to comply with
the terms which provided for the erec
tion of a $500,000 building, construc
tion work to start not later than July
1, 1908.
Four months after the lease was
executed Mr. Evans sold the lease to W.
D. Wood, representing the Trustees

concern was to Insure payment of the,
rent until the building was constructed.,'
The rent was paid until September 1.
1907. On that date the payment of
rent, taxes and assessments against
the property ceased with the single ex
ception of one subsequent payment of
$10,000. v
Agreement Terms Not Fulfilled.
Although the lease carried a provis
ion authorizing its cancellation by Mr.
Pittock at any time the lessee became
delinquent . 60 days. Mr. Pittock made
constant efforts until October 1, 1909.
to have the lessees carry out the terms
of their agreement
In October, 1909, Mr. Fittock, through
his attorneys. Cake & Cake,. Instituted
suit to cancel the lease. Mr. Wood and
his associates contested the action on
the ground that an extension of time
had been granted. The case finally
was heard by Judge Bean in the Fall of
1910 and judgment for the cancellation
of the lease was awarded Mr. Pittock.
From this decision the defendants ap
pealed to the Appellate Court of the
United States, at San Francisco. In a
decision rendered May 7, 1912, the Ap
pellate Court afflrrotd the decision of
Judge Bean. Last month motion for
a renearlng was denied. blnce then
negotiations for the lease of the block
to Mr. Flelshacker have been pending.
