    THE MOKM.NO OKEGOVIAN. FRIDAY. XOVEMBEIl
1912.
COLONEL'S SURVEY
IS NOT COMPLETED
Party to Live, He Says, but
" Statement Is Not Forth
coming for Present.
DEFEAT ACCEPTED GAILY
Result Said to Be Expected Close
Friends Visit Chief Party Plan
Will Be Discussed Friday.
Quiet Life Is Planned.
OYSTER BAT, N. T.. Nov. . Colonel
Roosevelt surveyed the. field of battle
today and gathered as much of the
story of yesterday's defeat as he could
piece together.
His lieutenants In each state tele
graphed to him their reports, in many
cases incomplete, and tonight Colonel
Roosevelt was in doubt as to lust what
his Progressive party had accompnsnea
In ilu first camDalzn.
There was nothing of the aspect of a
beaten general and no hint of defeat
in his manner. He smiled as easily and
told stories as gaily as before, and, ap
parently, was enjoying life thoroughly
today.
Views Will Be Forthcoming.
Colonel Roosevelt said he wanted to
tell his supporters everywhere what he
thought of the outcome ana tne out
look. The only reason he did not do so
tonight was that he had not the facts
at hand.
"When I have ail the facts accurate
Iv. I shall make a statement," he said.
The only thing which was accepted
as a settled fact at Sagamore Hill to-
Iit was that the fight was to go on.
What methods Colonel Roosevelt will
adopt are unknown even to himself.
"Of course the right will go on," he
aid. with an air of finality. "In the
end the cause must triumph."
Result Jfot Disappointment.
Close friends of Colonel Roosevelt
said he was not surprised at Governor
Wilson's election, because he waa at
no time confident, they asserted, that
the new party would be able to win its
first fight. The showing which the
party made, his friends aW, had
pleased rather than disappointed Its
leader.
Several Roosevelt Progressive lead
ers came to Oyster Bay to talk over
the election and plans for the future.
Governor Johnson, of California, and
G! fiord and Amos Plnchot, of "New
York, spent an hour at Sagamore Hill
late in the day and tonight George W.
Ferkins. Frank A. Munsey and H. L.
Stoddard motored down from New
York.
Neither Colonel Roosevelt nor his
visitors would discuss their plans.
When he goes to his editorial rooms in
New York Friday, Colonel Roosevelt
will hold another conference, at which
definite arrangements for keeping up
the organisation may be made.
Ere Already en 1914.
It Is Colonel Roosevelt's desire to
have a vacation from politics after
those plans have been decided, al
though he expects to keep constantly
In touch with the general aspects of
the situation.
It Is hoped to carry forward some
kind of progressive propaganda
throughout the next two years, with
an eye to the Congressional and state
elections in 1914.
Colonel Roosevelt expects to drop
hack for the Winter into the quiet life
at home which he led before the cam
paign, with a trip to New York once
or twice a week. He probably will be
called on once a month or oftener to
make speeches, although he desires to
avoid any long trips for months to
come,-

cratic for First Time.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7. A Wilson plu

STUBBS ADMITS DEFEAT
Kansas Governor looses Senatorial
Fight Democrats In Lead.
"TOPEKA. Kan, Nov. T. Practically
complete returns from 6S of the 105
counties In Kansas gave Wilson a plu
rality of 10.000. The state Democratic
ticket also made big gains In the re
turns received last night and George D.

ernor had a lead of 2500 over Arthur
Capper, Republican.
Governor W. R. Stubbs, Republican,
last night admitted that he had been
defeated by William H. Thompson,
Democrat for the United States Sen
ate. ,
"Thompson wID win by several thou
sand majority," Governor Stubbs said.
Arthur Capper, Republican candidate
for Governor, said tonight he would

from 3000 to E000 plurality. Capper waa

and the Democrats are claiming

FOREIGN STARS COMING
Heilig Theater to Present Season of
Grand Opera.
Charles R. Baker was in Portland
yesterday, heralding the early arrival
of the Lombardl grand opera company,
which will come to Portland direct
from Los Angeles, Monday, November
18. to play a six days' engagement at
the Heilig Theater. The Lombardl
company, Mr. Baker says, offers this
season a repertoire that has never
been duplicated in grand opera on the
Pacific Coast.
" "Conchita." the new opera by Zar
donai. reckoned by critics as the suc
cessor to 'Carmen. is being produced
by the Lombardl company for the first
time in the United States, and the Pa
cific Coast cities are privileged to en
joy It even before the New York
audiences," said Mr. Baker. "The
'Salome' of Strauss, which has never
before been sung In the cities west of
Chicago, Is also featured In the repre
toire that will be offered to Portland
theater-goers- by the company.
"Puccini's "La Boheme' will open the
bill, with Gulseppe Agostino singing
in the role of Rodolfo, a part which
he created in the United States in 1897,
when he came from Mexico and won
the hearts of grand opera lovers In the
United States. In that year Agostino
was with the Del Conte company and.
It is a noteworthy coincidence, that his
first successes in this role were made
In the Pacific Coast cities, before his
company went East.
"Signor E. Patrizi. editor of L'ltalla.
of San Francisco, was Lombardi's for
eign emissary this year and brought
back from the Continent with him 24
foreign stars, whose fame is interna
tional. Among them are Tarquinla
Tarquinl. lyric soprano, formerly of
Covent Garden, and Madame Amina
Matini. lyric soprano, from the Na
tional Theater of Buenos Ayres.
"The entire company consists of 114
persons, the orchestra numbering 35
and the chorus 40.'
Following Is the repertoire offered
in Portland, which is the same as that
which has just been completed with a
successful four weeks run in San Fran
cisco: "II Trovatore," with an enlarged
cast; "Lucia Di Lammermoor," "Sa
lome." "Madame Butterfly." "Caval
leria Rusticana" and "Pagliaccl" (dou.
ble bill) and "Conchita."
The company leaves Los Angeles,
Saturday. November 16, comes by spe
cial direct to Portland, and is sched
uled to reach here Monday the fastest
trip by special over that route.
LETTERS BY RYAN READ
GOVERNMENT MAKES DYNAMITE
CHARGES SPECIFIC.
Men Assigned to Various Explosions,
Recording to Evidence Presented
by Federal Prosecutor.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6. Specific ac
cusations were made by the Govern
ment in the "dynamite conspiracy"
trial today that in the Spring of 1910
Frank M. Ryan, president of the Iron
Workers' Union, and members of the
union's executive board entered on 'a
campaign systematically to blow up the
property of certain Iron and steel con
tractors and that In .furtherance of the
plan President Ryan wrote from New
York a letter assigning men to have
charge of explosions in different locali
ties.
Jobs Assigned by Letter.
Prosecutor Miller read a letter show
ing that McNamara wrote to members
Informing them of the policy recently
laid down by the board and urging se
recy. Explosions later occurred In or
near all those cities.
The Ryan letter was quoted as saying
in part:
'In regard to the McCIIntic-Marshall
jobs, let Henry W. Legleitner attend to
the Jobs In the Pittsburg district. Let
J. T. Butler attend to the Jobs at Buf
falo and Rochester. Hockin will ar
range for the Chicago, Detroit and Cin
cinnati Jobs. P. J. Morin can attend
to Mount Vernon."
Two explosions on a hotel under con
struction in Salt Lake City the same
year were preceded by an extensive
correspondence between McNamara and

Salt Lake City, and Eugene A. Clancy,

COURT PREPARES TO FLEE
Ottoman Ruler Wontd Abandon Con
Mantlnople for Asia-
LONDON. Nov. 6. Bulgaria Is giving
the broken Turkish army no time to
recuperate. In accordance with the
tactics adopted throughout the war, the
Bulgarians are following up the de
feated Turks with extraordinary en
ergy. Flying columns are pushing along
the seacoast toward the Tchatalja lines
and it is believed the main attack will
be delivered tomorrow or Friday.
Turkixh Conrt Ready to Flee.
Constantinople appeared to' have lbst
hope of stemming the victorious ad
vance even at Tchatalja and the Turk
ish court Is ready to cross Into Asia.
Apparently, however, the Bulgarian
government has no designs on Con
stantinople itself and would be ready
to conclude peace providing Turkey
agrees to surrender Adrlanople and
some other positions In the Western
theater of war and give a guarantee
to bring no reinforcements from Asia. '
The Porte shows no disposition to
treat for peace direct with the allies
and until the big Tchatalja battle has
been fought the diplomatic situation
Is not likely to be changed.
Sen la Demands Seaport.
It is said that any attempt by-Eervia
to encroach on Albania will be regarded
by Austria as a, casus belli. On the
other hand Servla contends that a port
on the Adriatic is a matter of life and
death for her, and she fails to see why
her presence there should be detri
mental to the interests of any other
power.
Servla argues that she would only
be regaining possession of what be
longed to her before the downfall of
the Servian empire, when Adriatic sea
ports were flourishing towns.
The fall of Monastlr Is not confirmed,
but is considered not Improbable.
The Greeks are crossing the Varda
River and the fall of Salonlkl is re
ported imminent.
IRISH AUTO TOURS DIVERT
Animals' Anxiety to Make Acquaint
ance W ith Cars Feature of Trip.
LONDON, Nov. T (Special.) In a
lecture at the Ixndon Salon of Pho
tography on the experiences of a motor
tourist In Northwestern Ireland, Arthur
Marshall said that the manner in which
the vairous animals on the unfrequent
ed roads made their first acquaintance
with the motor cr was one of the
things that lent light relief to an Irish
trip.
Fowls invariably flew right in front
of the wheels. Ducks were more sen
sible; they lay down flat In the middle
of the road and let the car go over
them without hurt. The pigs were the
chief obstruction. On one occasion in
Donegal no persuasion would remove a
pig from the highway. Cold water and
hot water, prods and pokes were un
availing. At length an arrangement
was made by which the exhaust from
the car was directed upon the back of
the pig. That did iC -

"Uncle Joe" Loses Out . Sec

Career in Congress.
WINNER GOOD CAMPAIGNER
Frank O'Hair, Democratic Successor
to ex-Speaker, Works Among Far
mers in Fields and Person
ality Wins "Him Victory.
DANVILLE, 111., Nov. 7. (Special.)
For the first time since 1890 and for
the second time in his career of 40
years In Congress. Joseph Gurney Can
non has been defeated for re-election
by voters of the Eighteenth District.
With a 'shoestring,'" consisting of six
counties, extending from Kankakee on
the north to Cumberland on the south,
apportioned In such a manner that the
heavy Republican counties of the north
outweighed the voting power of the
small Democratic counties of the south,
"Uncle Joe" has been so firmly In
trenched that nothing short of a polit
ical revolution could unseat him.
Contributing causes to his defeat were
the Republican votes secured by E. F.
Royse. the third party candidate, and
the strong personality of his chief op
ponent, Frank T. O'Hair, of Paris, who
has won the election by about 600 plu
rality. For several terms Democrats
were so disheartened by the great Re
publican majority in the district that
they made little effort to oppose the ex
Speaker. Last Spring Democratic leaders, en
couraged by the previous elections, de
termined to give Cannon a fight for
his life, selected Frank T. O'Hair as
their leader and, with the solid support
of their party, reinforced by the Pro
gressive movement, made a strongand
winning fight.
Winner Born In Log Cabin.
Congressman-elect O Hair was born
42 years ago in a log cabin In a remote
section of South Edgar County, and his
boyhood years yere spent upon a farm.
After graduating from the common
schools, he studied law at Purdue Uni
versity. Upon receiving his degree he
returned to the capital of his home
county and became one of the leading
attorneys of the Eastern Illinois oar.
He accepted the nomination of his party
reluctantly, but. after getting Into the
fight, astonished the old campaigners
by the novelty and success of his
methods.
While ex-Speaker Cannon was hurl
ing statistics at his audiences, O'Hair
was quietly circulating among the peo
ple In a "get-acquainted" campaign that
included every town, city and crossroad
community In the district, during which
he refused to make speeches. Fre
quently be went into the fields and
worked alongside farmers while talk
ing to them. Attired in an old suit and
a rusty slouch hat, with pockets bulg
ing with good cigars and a handshake
containing a grip like a vise, he
stormed the voter under his own vine
and fig tree.
O'Hair Won common People.
During the last day -of bis campaign
he went over the sarae ground, speak
ing at the Drinclpaf places, and his elo
quence and ability as a logician, coupled
with a rare ability to tell me nomeiy
stories that appeal to the common peo
ple, resulted In great crowds flocking
to hear him.
Mr. O'Hair married the daughter of
O. D. Houston, a prominent Paris Re
publican, and his courtship came near
ending during a contest for Mayor of
that city, during which he was pitted
against his future father-in-law in the
bitterest city campaign the city had
ever experienced. Forbidden In the heat
of the campaign to enter the home of
his opponent, he hid his affairs ol tne
heart for a time and persisted In his
political fight. The election of Houston
was quickly followed by a reconcilia
tion and his marriage to his success
ful orjDenent's charming daughter fol
lowed. They reside In a handsome home
In Paris and have a pretty 5-year-old
daughter.

EGYPTIAN SWINDLER TAKEN
Hafez Negnib Wanted for Series of
Exceedingly Daring Crimes.
CAIRO, Egypt, Nov. .(Special.)
The police have Just sv-jceeded in lay
ing their hands on Hafez Negulb, a
celebrated swindier, , who has escaped
from arrest on more than one occasion,
and for whom they have been search
ing for nearly three years. There are
no fewer than 18 charges against him
from different parts of the country. He
is a. most daring and resourceful crim
inal, and among his offenses are those
of obtaining money under false pre
tenses from a monastery in Upper
Egypt on the pretext of finding lost
treasure, and of entering the service of
one of the administrations, from which
he embezzled various sums. He also
made a practice of robbing omdehs
(local headmen) in most barefaced
fashion.
. His own nationality did not. however,
furnish his only victims, for he became
the lover of a European lady In Cairo
and strained her affection to Its utmost
limit by decamping with her Jewels and
money. His last exploit was to escape
from the clutches of the police who had
arrested him, and until a few days ago.
when his presence in Cairo was sus
pected, he had succeeded in evading the
vigilance of the authorities.

compelled the Russian government to

that the German government might re

however, consented, and the other pow
