Public Land Planks. OREGOX IAN NEWS BCREAL, Wash ington, Not. 28. If vvoodrow Wilson, upon becoming President, falls to ap point a Western man as Secretary of the Interior It will not be because of any lack of available men or lack of active candidates in the various public land states. Indeed, there appear to be more candidates for tliij office than for my other position In the Cabinet, and thus far all the active aspirants making an open-fight or being pushed by their friends are Western men. In advance of some announcement from the President-elect it cannot be learned definitely whether or not Western man will be made Secretary of the Interior, but of late there has grown up a strong belief that the In coming administration will accord this Cabinet office to the Wrest. as it is proposed to give the West some recog nltion in the new President's official family. If some other Cabinet office Is given to a Western man, it is pos sible that the Interior portfolio may go to a Southern or Eastern Democrat. The general belief is that a man per sonally familiar with public land con ditions will succeed Secretary Fisher. Appointment Would Saiv Good Faith. Nearly every Western state has one or more candidates for the office of Secretary of the Interior, and on the list of available men are several Demo. ,-crats fully competent to fill the office and. give the West an administration of the land laws In accord with the public land and conservation planks of the Baltimore convention. Jt remains to be seen whether those planks were writ ten to define the attitude of the Demo cratic party on those all-important Is sues, or merely to get votes. The ap pointment of a good Western Democrat would confirm the opinion that the planks In question were written in good faith and are to be carried out. Among the various Western Demo crats being mentioned In connection with the Interior Department secre taryship are several ound substantial men, and none among them stands out as pre-eminently fitted above all others for the office. There are live Gov ernors on ' the list of possibilities as it stands today, as follows: James II. Hawley, Idaho; F L. Norris. Montana; Oswald West, Oregon; John Burke, North Dakota, and Joseph M. Carey, Wyoming. In addition to these Ore gon Democrats are earnestly urging Joseph X. Teal, of Portland, while Will It. King, Democratic National Com mitteeman from that state. Is advocat ing himself, and i;iere is a!r mention of Governor Ch.imbcilain of the same state. Oregon, therefore, has four men mentioned for the ctfice. Ex-Senator Turner Mentioned. Kx-Senator Turne.-, of Washington, a Democrat of high standing in the party councils, and a mm of ability, is thus far the only Washington Democrat being seriously considered, but he was less active In the campaign than most others on the list, and if he Is selected it would be because of his recognized ability and not because of his service In the late campaign. The fact that Washington went for Roosevelt may injure Turner's chances. California is presenting the name of James D. Phelan, of San Francisco, but while there Is much Influence behind Plielan, California has another Demo cratic son who is being urged for Cabinet honors, and it is a safe pre diction that California wil not have two Cabinet officers. It may not get any. Franklin K. Lane, Interstate com merce commissioner and one of the ablest Democrats on the Pacific Coast, as well as one of the best-liked offi cials In the entire Government service, is being strongly urged for a place In the next Cabinet, and strange to say, he is being suggested for various Cabi net offices, and not for any particular one. This Is because Franklin K. I-ane is competent to step into the Cabinet and run any one of half a. dozen of the Government departments. There- is no certainty that Lane will be appointed. He may prefer to remain on the Inter state Commerce Commission.' If he goes Into the Cabinet, no matter If be Is ap pointed to some department other than the Interior, his appointment would un doubtedly prevent the selection of a Pa cific Coast Democrat to succeed Sec etary Fisher, as it Is entirely Improb able that two Coast men would sit in the Democratic Cabinet. Two Oregoniann at Out. Of the four Oregon meri mentioned, snly two are to be considered, for Sen ttor Chamberlain unquestionably pre fers to remain in the Senate and the party leaders would prefer to have him there. In view of the probability that a Republican would succeed him should ICuncluded on l'ase 2.) Colorado Grounds to Be Analyzed to Determine Whether Player Was In retted in Cut on Ankle. DENVER, Nov. IS. Professor George W. Schneider, of the Colorado School of Mines, at Golden, will insist upon an analysis of the earth on the college football field, to see whether it con tains arsenic in sufficient quantities to have caused the death yesterday of his son, Leo Schneider. Young Schneider, a player on the Mines' team, suffered a slight abrasion of the left ankle in practice several days ago. Septlcema followed, causing death. The tragedy recalls the fact that numerous students have suffered se verely from slight injuries received on the football field. if lm been lone- suspected," Pro fessor Schneider said today, "that some chemical, presumably arsenic. Is pres ent in the earth on the football field. An analysis will be made and If arsenic Is found the trustees of the schools will be asked to provide a new athletic field." ' FOOTBALL SPECTATOR DIES Excitement Over Pullman Game at Seattle Fatal to Banker's Son. UNIVERSITY OF ' WASHINGTON, Seattle, Nov. 28. (Special.) Marshall Peterson, a son of Marshall W. Peter son, cashier of the Dexter llorton Bank, dropped dead from acute heart failure as he entered the grandstand before the Washington-Pullman football game today. Teterson and his father had hurried from the carline to the football field nnd the over-exertion and excitement proved too much for his weak heart. There was a crowd trying to enter the grandstand and he had to struggle through. The rooters' section, was also giving the Washington yell as he climbed the stand steps. Dr. D. C. Hall, physical director at the university, was called and young Peterson was carried under the grand stand, but he was already dead. Dr. Hall stated that a weak heart and over-excitement was the cause. WILSON SUMMONS BRYAN Xcbraskan to Meet Presldcnt-Elect by Kequest After lteturn. HAMILTON,' Bermuda, Nov. 28.

Thus the conflict is now raised in acute form between Austria and Servia, and It remains to be seen whether the Austrian Government will take any di rect action, or will be content to leave the question for the after-the-war settlement. Towers exchanging Proposal. The Servian action coupled with the eminently "warlike feeling prevailing In Vienna, is likely to keep Europe in a continued state of anxiety. On the other hand the facts that the negotai tions are progressing at Raghtche, that there is no sign of the jVglnning of operations on the Tchatalja. lines, and that the great powers are exchanging proposals for the assembling of a European conference, all make for a peaceful settlement. Should the. proposed conference ma terialize for apparently Austria has not yet consented to. participate It would be considered as preparatory to a later full conference, that would include the Balkan states and Turkey, for a final settlement of all questions. Nothing has been decided as to whether the conference will be held or precisely what questions will be discussed.

Report of Intentions of Togo Kisen Haisha Company Starts an 'Official Inquiry. . WASHINGTON. Nov. 28. (Special. ) The State Department has ordered an Investigation of the recent report that the Toyo Kisen Kaisha Steamship Company is obtaining options on lands at Honolulu on plans to erect a plant of 100,000 tons capacity. While State Department officials will not, talk, It is said 'the Department 'has requested Secretary of the Interior Fisher to ob tain information from Governor Frear on the reported options and that the Secretary already has asked the Gov ernor to forward the facta to Wash ington. If the report is true there is not the slightest doubt In official circles that the State Department will immediate ly make representations to the Japa nese government. Japan will be no tified that the Toyo Kaisha Company cannot be allowed to secure posses sion of any land in Hawaii, either by sale or lease, for a coaling station. This will be in line with the pol icy adopted a long time ago by this government and recently reiterated In the Lodge resolution at the last ses sion of Congress, which declared in substance that the United States would not permit the acquisition of land for coaling stations by foreign steamship corporations anywhere in North or South America. While colonial pos sessions of the United States were not included by name in the resolution, tho State Department construes the resolution to include Hawaii. It is not improbable that the ques tion will be the subject of an inves tigation by the foreign relations com mittee of the Senate Just as tho Mag dalena Bay affair was at the lust ses sion, resulting In the Lodge resolu tion.

Multnomah Club crushed the Univer sity of Oregon .football eleven In tho annual blue-ribbon Turkey dny gamo yesterday on Winged "M" Field. Score, 20 to 7. The day was one of those dressed up in holiday clothes. The soft, crisp sun shine was perfect. It breathed foot ball into the veterans more than into Oregon. Six thousand fans assembled, nearly l."00 in excess of 1911 in fait most everybody was there except Kmil Schrank, "Lefty Louie," Albert Patrick and a few others dolayed by train. Oregon fought desperately but could not withstand the terrific off-tacklo assaults of the older and more experi enced stars. Five. 10, 15, 20 yurds the scailet-whlte men tore oif in hunks through guard, tackle and end. The visitors, on the other hand, offensively. by straight football methods, met with exactly the same success as the ocean waves meet when they chuck them selves up against Tillamook Head. They gained first down only twice hy this procedure of attacks, making Si yard In the game for 272 for Multno mah. Forward 1'astirs Too Late. Too late their thrilling forward paas attack began to rattle and non-plus Multnomah. Following on tho heels of Keek's 40-yard run after an Intercepted pass in the third quarter, same being converted into Multnomah's third touchdown, the Oregon men assemuludl in conference In tho shadow of their own goal posts. It looked for all the world like a Coroner's Jury examining the scene of a crime. But, when Fenton dropped back three corfsecutlve times for sensational for ward heaves, gaining 32 yards, the rooters felt tickiy thrills gallivanting. up and down their vertebrae, 'i nci e was no call for the Coroner there. Mult nomah finally broke up the sensational rally, but Walker recovered Wolff's fumble a moment later, whereupon Fenton chucked the leather 20 yards over the goal line to Cornell for ona of the most highly dramatic touch downs ever seen on Winged "M" Field. Again in the fourth quarter they marched from their own 30-yard line to Multnomah's 12-yard line 58 yards with almost uncanny manipulation of the dreaded pass Five out of seven aerial attempts turned out successful. Winged M defensive men fussed and fumed in a frenzy. Hurlburt lifted the daxe by Intercepting the seventh pass, after a fake by Fenton had pulled in the veteran Callicrate for a gain of 12 or 15 yards. Then the club reverted to line plunging and carried the ball 75 yards back down the gridiron in a mag nificent parade, the game ending Just in time to save .the Oregon goal line from another indentation. Fourth Quarter Sensational, That fourth quarter was perhaps tl;, most spectacular ever staged in the Pacific Northwest.
