WASHINGTON'. Nov. 8. "The reor

crats on March 4 Is assurea. saia reu
itnr Smith, of Georgia, today, in sum
ming- up the status of the Senate after
March 1.
senator Smith KDoke with assurance,
due largely to his familiarity with the
situation on account of his connection
with the senatorial brancn of tne cam
nalirn work. He spent a month in
Chicago looking- after the legislatures
In various states.
"We have 30 Democrats who hold
over and five who have already been
elected, making 35." said the Senator.
"We have Democrats from Georgia,
Tai. Kansas. Arkansas, Montana,
Oklahoma. North Carolina, South Caro
lina and two from Colorado who have
been elected In the primaries.
Positive Majority Assured.
"The Democrats undoubtedly have
rarrlod the Leeislatures of New Jersey
and Delaware, which insure Democratic
Senators from each of those states. Ad
vices from Nevada and Oregon clearly
indicate the election of Democratic can
didates for the Senate. This would give
49 Democrats, or a positive majority
of the Senate.
Mr. Smith was inclined to make ad
ditional claims on the states which are
considered doubtful. He said that, ac
cording to his advices, the Democrats
will have a majority of the Legislature
of Tennessee, which would Insure a
Democratic Senator from that state.
He also counted on further accessions
from Illinois and from some of the
pther states.
"We can rely safely on 50 Democrats
In the next Senate," he declared.
General View la fa Accord.
Senator Smith's summary of Demo
cratic control in the Senate is sub
stantially In accord with the general
view taken at the Senate wing of the
Capitol. In other quarters an Impartial
survey of the returns gives totals up
to the present time as follows: Demo
crats 48, Republicans 41, doubtful 7.
total membership 06.
The seven seats still classed as
doubtful are the two from Illinois and
one each from Michigan, Oregon, South
Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming.
Without any of these seven doubtful
states, the present assured Democratic
strength of 48 is exactly half of the
total membership and is sufficient, with
the vote of Vice-President Marshall on
a tie, to control the Senate.
The test as to the political affiliation
of the Progressives will come soon after
the convening of Congress, on the first
Monday in December.
diver Would Preu Settlement.
"If I could have my way," said Sen
ator Oliver, of Pennsylvania, one of the
foremost of the standpat Republicans,
today, "I would determine the ques
tion at the earliest moment. With the
Vice-Presidency no longer with us, it
will become imperative to elect a presi
dent pro tempore of the Senate as soon
as we convene. As is generally known,
the progressives refuse to Bupport Sen
ator Gallinger, who was the caucus
nominee for president pro tempore of
the last session. I would call another
caucus to name a candidate for this
office and would make bis support a
test of party loyalty on the part of
Senators claiming to be Republican."
If the course suggested by Mr. Oli
ver should be pursued, it might result
in the early recognition of a third party
in the Senate. It is contended, how
ever, by Senator Gallinger's friends
that the "progressive" opposition to
liim had largely died away before the
close of the last session. The Demo
cratic Senators are desirous of obtain
in? such a majority of their own mem
bership in the Senate as to avoid en
tirely the necessity of any dependence
upon the "progressives' after March 4.

COUNTY DIVISION BEATEN
Voters in Eastern. Clackamas Indi
cate They Are Satisfied.
OREGON CITT, Or.. Nov. 8 (Spe
cial.) Analysis of the vote of the east
ern part of Clackamas County on the
measure providing for the creation of
Cascade County demonstrates clearly
the claim, made prior to election, that
a majority of the residents of the dis
trict embraced in the proposed Cascade
County were opposed to the bill.
This contention is substantiated by
the returns from the 11 precincts mak
ing up the territory that was in the
boundaries of the proposed Cascade
County, and in these 11 precincts there
were only 447 votes cast In favor of the
measure and 621 against. Eliminating
the precinct of Estacada. where the
county division scheme originated,
there were only 276 votes for the bill
and 587 in opposition to It.
The votes by precincts follows, ac
cording to the unofficial returns: Bull
Run, yes 8, no 37: Boring, yes S, no 96;
Cherryvllle, yes 4, no 32; Cascade, yes
:0. no 90; Damascus, yes 15. no 136;
Dover, yes 5. no 17; Eagle Creek, yes
32, no 104; Estacada, yes 276, no 34;
George, yes 7. no 23: Springwater, yes
66, no 2S; Viola, yes IS, no 24. It is not
regarded as likely that the official
count will materially alter these figures.

Three Children of Joseph Mrachek
Kcnioved Before Fire Gains
Control of Building.
CHEIIALIS, Wash, Nov. 8. (Spe
cial.) With its mother frantically cry-
nfe for her baby and begging to De
put into the window of her burning
home, while strong men endeavored. to
save the life of 18-months-old Jose
phine Mrachek, third daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Mrachek, of this city,
the little one was burned to death this
morning.
Mr. Mrachek, who is a dairyman liv
ing a mile south of town, got up at
his usual time this mofnlng and start
ed the fire in the kitchen stove and
went out to the dairy barn to do the
morning chores. As soon as the rire
was discovered three of the children
were taken from the building with
comparatively slight burns.
Quite suddenly, after they had begun
to try and save part of the household
goods, the mother realized that "Joe
baby," the next to the youngest child,
was still in the house. All efforts
were then turned toward saving the
baby's life, but to no avail. In their
endeavors both the mother and father
and Mr. Phillips, his partner, were
seriously burned.
There were four children, Aimina,
Margaret, Josephine, who lost her life.
and a 4-months-old baby, Mary, llie
face and hands of Mrs. Mrachek were
burned badly. Mr. Mrachek's hands
also were burned seriously.
The children and their mother were
taken to the home of Mr. Phillips, who
lives Just across the road from the
burned residence, while friends admln-
stered to their wants. Later the
other and her youngest baby were
taken to the home of Miss Gertrude
Marshall, while the other two children
will be taken care of temporarily by
Mrs. Phillip. There probably will be
no funeral.
Mr. Phillips and Mr. Mrachek are pro
prietors of the Oak Dairy.

SALEM, Or., Nov. 8. (Special.)
With the election of District Attorney
Evans and Sheriff Word, the, material
which has been gathered in connection
with the vice crusade of Governor West
will be turned over to the new officials,
and the Governor has sent a letter to
H. M. Esterly, special prosecutor, re
questing him to devote his attention to
prosecution of the cases already start
ed. In writing to Mr. Esterly the Gov
ernor says:
"Until further notice I would request
that the making of further investiga
tions in vice matters by your office be
discontinued and your sole efforts be
directed toward the prosecution of the
suits which you have already, or are
about to institute. All information
which you have gathered and which
may have a bearing upon vice condi
tions in Multnomah County should be
turned over to or placed at the disposal
of District Attorney-elect Evans and
Sheriff-elect Word, as it will undoubt
edly prove of great value to them in
the performance of their duties.
"I make these suggestions as I am
anxious to have you devote your time
to the prosecution of the above-mentioned
suits, as they will have an Im
portant bearing upon law enforcement
in this state in the future. The devel
opment at this time of whatever
weaknesses there may be in our laws
will make possible the presentation of
measures to the Legislature which will
strengthen them."

Shows Good Results.
CRUSADE EFFECT PLEASES
Executive Says He Is Satisfied More
and Better Material for Cases
Will Develop With rivans
and Word in Harness.
SALEM, Or.. Nov. 8. (Special.)
With the withdrawal of H. M. Esterly
as the active special prosecutor in fur
ther cases in the Portland Vice crusade
than those already established. Gover
nor "West said today that there have
been many concrete, good results from
the crusade and that during the next
two months he expected many more.
He said there have been a number of
discoveries made in Portland which are
not ready for the public eye, but which
will develop under the new administra
tion of District Attorney Evans and
Sheriff Word, and that the material to
cover these cases in the way of evi
dence will be handed over to these
officials.
"We have been instrumental in bring
ing: about a far better condition of
affairs than I had hoped for in the
start," said Mr. West. "Mr. Esterly
and his assistants have worked quietly
but faithfully in their investigations
and have uncovered many sources of
law violation. Several hundred houses
of prostitution were brought to light
and the owners of the property noti
fied. Notices were sent because it was
thought many were in Ignorance of
the nature of their tenants. These
notices were accepted by most all in
the spirit In which they were sent, but
a few took on an air of injured inno
cence and showed considerable resent
ment. They did not give us credit for
wishing to give them the benefit of a
doubt and a chance to clean up with
out receiving publicity.
"We have already landed upon a few
of these protestants and there will be
others in a few days. The result Is
many of these places have been closed
up and the occupants driven from the
city;
"Mr. Hurst has gotten good results
in his prosecutions for violations of the

been reduced to a minimum. Mr. Hurst
says he has received good support In

We are being deprived of his services
for time. I wish he could be kept
steadily upon the Job.
"There will be no complaint as to
vice conditions in Portland or Mult
nomah County when Evans and Word
get In the harness. In the meantime,
the Eeveral injunction suits will be
prosecuted vigorously so as to develop
any loopholes which may be in our
laws concerning public nuisances and
