BREWERS DENY ALL BLAME Individual Saloon Keepers Suspected as Working AVlth Vice Interests. War Now May Be Taken From En gent 'Women's Hands. Action will be taken Immediately. It Bras decided at the meeting of the state central committee Thursday, to dis cover the author and the instigator of the pamphlets issued from a Eugene printing office and sent all over the state unsigned by the author. On the other hand local women and organiza tions refuse to say that It was carried out by the Brewers' Association, the majority of them saying tht it was in dividual vice Interests or corrupt In fluences, among whom may have been, and probably were, some private indi viduals who are engaged In the liquor trade. The Brewers' Association, through Its president. Paul Wesslnger, Issues the following statement denying .in toto the charges made by the Eugene Suffrage Association that, the brewers are responsible: "In The Oregonlan of October 31 we note a charge made over the signa- tares of certain Eug&ne women that the Portland brewers have had a large quantity of anti-suffrage literature printed In Eugene and are engaged in Its distribution. This charge is un qualifiedly false: we never heard of Mhis literature until we read The Ore gonlan of October 31. We are not am bitious to dictate the policy of the state on any question. We are busy In the management of our business and will not take a hand In politics unless compelled to do so by a prohibition campaign or other similar attack which we must meet in self-defense. "OREGON BREWERS' ASSOCIATION. "Per Paul Wesslnger, Pres." Brewrra .ot Openly Blamed. The prevailing impression of suf fragists are expressed in a general way by W. M. Davis, president of the Aion's Equal Suffrage Society. "Local suffragists are by no means unanimous In attributing the violent anti-suffrage literature that was print ed secretly at Eugene to the brewers." said Mr. Davis, "for they spoke of the aitack yesterday and even on the pre- vious day as one made by the vice interests if not done by the antl-suf-fragists. The last named, or the of ficers of the society opposed to suf frage, have denied any and all know ledge of the pamphlets, so that they are freed. This was expected all along, as their matter has been signed by the officers. "If only everyone would realize that the women do not think or wish to use their votes to carry out suddenly many a startling reform which they are sup- posed to want, the suffragists would not have such a hard battle. s "All the same. It Is perfectly clear that some corrupt influence is at work in printing those infamous circulars, or the author would not hesitate to come forward, nor would the printer refuse to. tell the name, as he has been told not to say who gave him orders to print them. That is why we are going after them, and that Is why I. myself, am willing to sign a warrant if the people at Eugene do not want to do so. "I can quite understand that people there, even though they know all about the matter, do not want to make Eu gene a hotbed of 111 feeling among peo ple at present friends, even though po litical foes. Yet. though Mr. Yoran is ' a friend of mine, I shall not hesitate to force him to divulge the name of the author, if possible." In this connection Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway. ablest of campaign leaders, though haVdly able to hold a. quill, im mediately penned a letter to The Ore gonien In which she states her ideas on the Subject clearly and succinctly. These coincide with the views of many of her lieutenants and the rank- and file. She. however, is of opinion that the" liquor Interests are implicated in the matter in some way or other, though not necessarily as an associa tion. plana Are Formulated. On all sides yesterday meetings were held and suffragists gathered together to discuss the matter and to formulate plans for counteracting the evil results of the scattering broadcast of these pamphlets. As a whole it was thought that the best refutation of them was to leave them alone, per se, and to trust to the sense of the Oregon voter to consign an unsigned article, which made sweeping statements, to the place where It belonged, the wastepaper bas ket. The Instigator of the papers, the author and publisher, however, will.be proceeded against, the last-named more to procure the names of the others, either by Eugene members of the Eqisul Suffrage Association or by W. M. Davis or some other Portland person today. At the meeting of the State Central Campaign Committee in the headquar ters In the Selling building, more than one person pledged themselves to pro- rh.r if Eueene women or men felt it too heavy a matter for a small community. i .r.at advices, however, from Eu gene," said John F.

It Is understood that ins aavice nas uccu taken." Suara;l"" M Allied. "Whom the ftods wish to destroy they first make mad Is an axiom piain to everybody not blinded by fanaticism or irrped." said Mrs. Duniway yesier day. "As is well known by all who read and think, the State Equal Suf frage Association Is not allied and nvr ha been either with prohibition or with whisky. We have always -nntonrtprl when forced to the question at all that the cure for the evils of intemperance and Kinnrea vices coma ..t .om to the people through any other channel than through liberty. It i our contention that temperance is an economic question not to be settled by sumptuary legislation or votes, but through equal rights for the mothers of all the people.

"If the brewers were properly posted in current events there would be no need to inform them . hat experience lias taught men in suffrage states that women hold as diversified views as to tii. run of intemperance, as oo men. Jt is my opinion that this last effort to right equal suffrage, so wisely exposes, by Mrs. MInine Washburn, of Eugene, mon Hlrsch, will make the few antis of Oregon ashamed of their company. "Meanwhile. I serenely await the votes of the men of Oregon next Tues day, who can only do their duty by marking their ballots 300 X Yes."

The following expressive telegram was received yeiterday by C. V. Johnson from a quartet of Corvallls citizens, Messrs. Denman, Allen.

Wake up." assured that the prosecutor's offioe. in Eugene is ready to prosecute wnen 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, oi 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 la 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 made." "We are perfectly willing to let tne people know about these circulars,'1 said Mr. Koke. of Yoran & Koke, this afternoon, "in all probability we will be able to make a statement Dy 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. BLACK LOSES LAND FIGHT Albany "trial Unique in That Man's Birth Is Issue. ALBANY, Or., Nov. 1. (Special.): By bringing in a verdict for the de fendant in an unique trial today, 12 men practically decided that the plain tiff, Oscar Black, of Prineville, Or., Is not the son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexan der Black, former residents of Water loo. It was this question which the Jury wm called upon to decide, for on its solution hinged the title to 10.: acres of land near Waterloo, In this county. In this case : Black sued Mary B.. Hurst, who Is now in possession of the land and claims to be its owner, for the legal title to the land. This land was owned by Alexander Black when he died In 1893. His widow, Isabella Black, married David Wright after the death of her husband and later Wright and his wife Joined in a deed selling this land to Rebecca Hall, who later sold it to Mary E. Hurst. Oscar Black was born in Canada In 1879 and resided with Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Black, whom he asserts were his parents. In Canada until he was 7 years old and then moved with them to Linn County. He was still residing with them when Alexander Black died. When David Wright married Mrs. Black. Oscar Black alleges, Wright drove him from the home. Wright then told him, he testified, and also told others that Oscar Black was not the child of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander BlackJ though he was raised by them. Wright then stated, and so testified in the trial of the case here that Mrs. Black told him that Oscar Black was not her child but that he was Drougnt to her house when he was a baby by a woman named Wilson, who was his mother, and that she and Mr. ttiacK raised him. Mrs. Black died soon after her marriage to Wright and. it was claimed by the plaintiff this story was invented by Wright to enable him to defraud Oscar Black out of this land. When Oscar Black left home upon the orders of Wright he was a young man and, so he testified, did not think of his legal rights as an heir of his parents. A few years ago he thought of his rights and. looking up the mat ter, he instituted this action to recover the property in 1909. . The case has been pending here since mat time, out did not come to trial until yesterday. Both sides of the case had consider able evidence to support their conten tions at the trial. Oscar Black -pro duced a large number of witnesses to prove that Mr. and Mrs. Black had re iterated at different times that he was their son. Other witnesses told the story contended for by Wright, but the nlaintiff says this story gained cre dence only through the operations of Wright to get possession of the prop erty and defraud uscar utacK.

RUSSIA GETS MEGRQ Jack Johnson Signs Up to Fight at Moscow. LAW MAY THWART MOVE Black Pugilist Says He Doesn't Care if He Never Sees Chicago Again, but Indictment in Girl Case May Halt Ambitions. CHICAGO, Nov- 1. Chicago at least has become too liot for Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, and he Is going to Russia. Johnson said last night that he had sold his saloon for $25,000. The new owner will get a new license, as the brewery owned the one under which Johnson's place was operated and It refused to consent to the pugilist again having a renewal. The license was re newed, but not to Johnson. "I am going to fight In Russia," said Johnson. "1 don't care if I never come back to Chicago. As far as the Saloon business is concerned I don't want to hear about It again. Fight In Rnaala Arranged. Richard Klegin. of Paris, who says he represents the owners of the Aquarium Gardens, Moscow, jtussia. gave Johnson a certlneo cnecK ior $6000 and three round-trip tickets to Russia tonight. "Johnson has signed an agreement, said Klegin, "to fight Sam McVey for a purse of $30,000 and one-third of the proceeds of the moving pictures. He will leave Chicago on November 30, for Moscow for a series of ring battles. I have no connection with the Russian enterprises. I acted simply on In structions from the syndicate which has engaged Johnson." As far as known there never has been a prizefight In Russia. Whether residents of the Russian city and au thorities will welcome Johnson Is speculation. However, that is for the promoters of the proposed fight to worry about. Johnson has a check for a comfortable sum, three rtund-trip tickets and is letting the othar fellow do the worrying. Authorities May Interfere. , Federal authorities may Interfere with Johnson's plans for leaving Amer ica. He is liable to be indicted by the local Federal grand Jury for his exploits with white women and may have to stand trial before tne ea- eral Court. If an indictment Is returned against the DUgilist It is likely that, in view of his announcement to leave the coun try. Federal authorities will place his bonds at such a high amount that Johnson would have to win fights to make It worth while to forfeit his bonds. ATTHE THEATERS "THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER." Presented at the Heilig Theater. CAST. Nadina Popoff Rena Vlvienne Arelia Popoff Luclle Saunders Mascha Hon Bergere Lieutenant Burnetii, "The Choco late Soldier" Charles Purcell Captain Massakroff . J. Russell Powell Louka Hasel Frasler Srephen Pony Moore Colonel Casimir Popoff Sylvian Langlols Major Alexius splridoff J. F. McDonoilgh BY LEONE CASS BAER. ALWAYS, until the wheels or theat rical time roll into eternity, "The Chocolate Soldier" will have its au diences. F. C. Whitney has sent it to Portland for a third visit and when It opened last night you'd have thought it was a first visit, so crowded was tne theater. Even, just supposing that some day long hence "The Chocolate Soldier" should die, one charming song will re main to be sung in memory. That one is "My Hero." But you'd have thought It was a brand new song and that we hadn't heard It by even the phonograph route, from the rapt attention with which the Heilig audience listened to Rena Vlvienne sing it last night. Over and over again she sang the persuasive. haunting melody and when the last curtain had fallen this refrain was the one taken up and hummed and whis tled out into the streets. To enjoy "The Chocolate Soldier" at the hands of the company provided by Mr. Whitney for this tour is a delight. A second and certainly a third visit of any likable production impels almost inevitably comparisons. Inasmuch as only the prima donna and her stage lover, Alexius, are new in the cast, the odium of comparisons reduces Itself. Charles Purcell. as the soldier who soldiers not at all, who waxes strong on a chocolate diet and who "for once could go without,", deserves the dra matic, comedy and musical honors of the performance. He is quite as much an excellent actor as he is an. excellent singer. Rena Vlvienne. whose name is the only thing foreign about her has a splendidly-trained voice, a soprano of unusual range. She uses it with a musical understanding that is compell ing, and Nadina is piquant and sat isfying. , ' Lovely Hon Bergere is again viva cious and saucy in her role as Mascha, the flirtatious, and whisks her short skirts and twinkles merrily sabout on dancing toes that never rest a minute. Luclle Saunders, whose rich contralto Is not to be forgotton once heard, is again Aurelia. A new voice and a most pleasing tenor is that of J. F. Donough in the role of Alexius, bethrothed to Nadina, Sylvian Langlols Is Casimir, and gives an amusing conception of he soldiering old rone. J. Russell Powell is tne blus tering Vattle-scarred Massakroff and leads his amy right into the hearts of the audience. As in the prior Instances the scenes of "The ChocoIate"8oldler" are of marked beauty, the groupings of the, players are natural and easy, and the' music Is so spirited, orchestrated as- it Is under the guidance of Max Fichandler, that bromidion though the term may be It leaves little to ie de sired. The performance will be re peated tonight and tomorrow night, with a matinee tomorrow afternoon. TRIBUTE TO TAFT PLEASES Big Crowd at Victoria Theater Ap plauds Jay Bowerman. Speaking at the Virtoria Theater, East Eighteenth and Alberta streets, Thursday night before an interested and, at times, enthusiastic audience. Jay Bowerman paid a handsome trioute to the Aminlstratlon or President Tart, whose accomplishments he recited ef fectively. Turning to the Senatorial contest, the speaker vigorously advocated the I I I U Royal Baking Powder exceeds others in leavening power, in purity" and wholesomeness, and is used generally in families, exclusively in the most celebrated hotels and res taurants, by the United States Army and Navy, and wherever the' best and finest food is required.

It is admittedly the best and . most healthful baking powder made. When you know what is best, please ask for it. election of the regular primary nom inee of the Republican party. He said: "We have two candidates regularly nominated under the direct primary law. One is the regular candidate of the Democratio party and, I assume. stands for the principles and policies of that party. If you believe in tariff for revenue only, If you feel that the record of his party In the past Is such as to commend It to you favorably now, I assume- you will support him. "The other primary nominee is Jen Selling. He has a record in Portland extending over a period of 60 years. As boy and man you have had ah op portunity to know him. He Is essen tially one of us. He, as a clerk, helped to organize the first retail clerks' union and was the first president of this union. It was he who took the lead for 6 o'clock closing and then Sunday closing of stores by agree ment between employer and employe. "After reaching maa's estate he en tered mercantile lines. He has worked ont his own destiny, he has made a success of his business, but his success has not been purchased at the e'xpense of either his employes or his custom ers. He has been honest with himself. his men and his customers, so that we find with him the most contented and loval lot ofmen in Portland. To day the most effective work in his be half i being performed by tne iJen Selling Club, a non-partisan; political club started by Ben Selling's employes at their own suggestion and at their own expense. Good wages, a share In his profit for ten years ana rair treat ment Is. the platform which united these, man together in the support of a man they had grown to respect and love by reason of their oaiiy contact with him. "Selling is not a new light m tne political ftrmanent. Sixteen years ago he was elected to the State Senate as a progressive and upon his own card were the words declaring for a direct primary law. He, above all others, nivNi the wav for our primary law and he, of all others, has. been loyal and faithful to it and its principles. "Bourne betrayed the Republican party when secretary of its state com mittee in 1896; he betrayed Senator Mitchell and the whole people of Ore- a-nn bv procuring the holdup of tne 1897 session of the Legislature; he be trayed the sacred trust reposed m nim as a Senator in 1908.

"He betrayed all of our people in 1912. when he voted to keep a high tariff on cotton goods; he betrayed the farmer of Oregon, when, after vot ing to protect his cotton mills he voted to reduce the tariff on Oregon-grown wool and now, to cap his life of be trayal and. infamy, he is betraying the very primary law which has heretofore been his life-preserver and upon whlca he previously rode into office." BATTLE COSTS BIG LOSSES Bulgaria Expects Victory to Make Country Power in Balkans.' SOFIA, Nov. 1. News of the defeat of the Turkish army was received here last night with a feeling of great re lief, but no noisy demonstration. Con fidence in the success of the Bulgarian army had been mixed with great anxiety because of the lack of news for the last two days. The people are now looking forward to Bulgaria becoming as great a power in the Balkans as Turkey for merly was. It is understood that the fighting has been of the fiercest character, night even affording no Intermission. The Turks suffered severely. Many were captured and great numbers of dead were left on the field. News of the capture of Nazlm Pasha's headquarters at Tchorlu is eagerly awaited. Little has been heard from the Bulgarian left wing, which stretches from Bunarhissar to Midla. In this territory the Turks greatly out numbered the Bulgarians, who have only been able to hold their own. Any slight success which the Turks ob tained here, however, was of no ma terial importance. The Bulgarian victory was due to superior strategy, combined with the extreme energy of their offensive movement. It appears that the object of the rapid advance early in the week on Visa and Midia was not really to outflank the Turkish rightbut to mis lead the Turks. This was successful. The Turks moved their reserves by sea and along the coast to strengthen the right wing, which reached to Is trandla, and directed all their efforts to meeting here what they believed to be the main attack. Meanwhile the Bulgarians were 1 nn"al U lf really concentrating at Eskl-Baba, whither troops had been hurried by convergent roads from Adrianople and Kirk-Kilisseh. The Bulgarians' force, on their right wing, was thus superior In strength to the Turks at Lule Burgas and was able to hurl them baitt"is believed that the total Turkish force numbered 250.000, as compared with 150.000 Bulgarians, the latter be ing obliged to leave many men around Adrianople. , Probably the decisive movement on the Bulgarian right was through Airo bol, 15 miles to the south of Eskl-Baba, which turned the. Turkish flank. The Turkish reserves west of Yenikin, nine divisions strong, were pushed forward towards the center of the Turkish line Kessler's To The lrade rr THAT I FNF.
