THE MOItXiyG OREGONIAX, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1914. F CARRANZA IS FIRST CHIEF, IS DECISION MEMBERS OF MEXICAN DICTATOR'S FAMILY, WHO, IT IS REPORTED. HAVE BEEN HURRIED OUT Or MEXICO CITY. 10 UflSTOfi D FIVES BUZZARDS BAY Villa Subordinate in Command, but Supplies Will Be Fur nished Him. CAVALRY SEEKS PASTURE Treasurer-General and Other Sup porters of Carranza, Who Have Been Imprisoned at Tor reon, to Be Released. TORREON, Coahuila, July 7- Gen eral Carranza. has been recognized as first chief of the rebels and General Francisco Villa is subordinate to him. This confirmation of the relative po sitions of Carranza and Villa was re garded as the most Important step taken at the Internal peace parley here Intended to reunite the Villa and Car ranza factions. In settling this point the question of supplying the division of the north, which Villa commands, with coal and ammunition probably will find an au tomatic solution. While General Villa owes Carranze absolute subordination, Carranza, on the other hand, is obliged to meet the wants of the Villa troops. Vital lannen Decided. . The conference is ended so far as vital points are concerned. The state ment was made today that the result of the meetings was satisfactory. Gen eral Villa said today: "I hope that the outcome of the con ference will be beneficial to Mexico and that patriotic motives will cause the compact to be kept." "It is not the practice of men to buzz around like mosquitoes and sting others when they least expect it." said Villa In referring to accusations of miscon duct made against him by Carranza followers along the border. "I am averse to personalities," he added. Army Practices Economy. While the conference was in session brigades of the northern division were being sent north through Torreon to go Into quarters in the country districts of Chihuahua. In these districts the cavalry horses will recuperate from the hard campaigns of Paredon and Zacatecaa. Coupled with this movement is the detslreto maintain the army more economically. Food and forage have reached the highest prices and since Villa's pur chasing agents buy at current quota tions, it sometimes has been a problem to supply the troops with necessities. Most of the army will be concentrated near Chihuahua city until the advance on Mexico City is resumed. Villa to Surrender Honey. One of the principal points at dis cussion involved a concession by the Villa element in returning the consti tutionalist national funds confiscated at Juarez and secured in the United States. General Carranza today telegraphed Alberto Fani, one of his agents here, that the Villa people had agreed to turn over the money. Lazardo de Garza, Villa's agent here, received or ders from his chief to deliver the funds. The treasurer-general and the other Carranza men who have been detained at Torreon probably will be released. FEDERAL OTJTPOSTS MUTINY Mexican General Notifies Funston, to Prevent Alarm. VERA CRUZ, Mex., July 7. Brigadier-General Funston made public to day copies of the telegrams exchanged last night between the American Army headquarters and Lieutenant-Colonel Izunza, commander of the Mexican fed eral outposts. In his dirpatch Izunza said: i "Portions of my infantry outpost revolted and I am unable to reduce them to order." The General said he notified General Funston because he desired to prevent alarm among the American outposts In the event .mutinous troops sought to enter the American lines or of an action occurring In their vicinity. General Funston assures Izunza that the federal deserters would be arrested promptly if they approached the Amer ican outposts. The extent of the revolt was un known to headquarters but it was be lieved that it affected only a small por tion of the Mexican force in front of the American lines. Colonel Izunza got close enough to the fleeing outpost to the southwest of Tejeria to warrant him in attacking the mutineers, but they did not stop to resist, replying only with a scattering fire. Colonel Izunza expects to continue the pursuit. FOOD IMPORTS INCREASE IMPORTS OF - MANUFACTURES NOT MUCH LARGER. Secretary Redfield Says Flgnrea Show Americana Will Not Be Driven Ont of Business. WASHINGTON, July 7. Foreign manufacturers sent into the ' United fctates in the first eight months of the new tariff system Just 8.8 per cent . more of their finished product than they did under the old. This was point ed out tonight by Secretary Redfield as ample demonstration that there was no ground for the fears of Americans that they would be driven from busi ness by the Democratlo tariff. Importations of foodstuffs showed a large percentage of increase in the eight months which ended with May, while foodstuff exports fell off substan tially. There was a relatively small re auction in the amount- of completed manufactures exported. "The figures," said Secretary Red field, "show, as It is normal they should, the results of the world-wide depression in commerce as modified by our own shortage of foodstuffs, arising from the inadequate crops of last year, which condition is rapidly passing. "They Indicate also that our compet ing power in manufacturing is well sustained, because at ' time when our commercial rivals are eager to sell and unwilling to buy, the Item of exports of fully finished manufactures is de pressed relatively little, and the Item of imports of finished manufactures Increases relatively little." The total increase of Importations of foodstuffs, the department's figure showed, was 156,750,437, while the total increase in importations for the period was only 155,136,68$. In the line of finished manufactures Mr. Redfield said the United States was maintaining 114 foreign business wall, I 7. t;j v:?Vv; v:V;;: v:t t ' ' " Copyright Underwood & Underwood.

VACATION CHANGES HINTED Members Will Shift Pupils From Congested to Less Crowded Build ings In Holding Down Xew StracturesIaurelnurst Loses. That the suggested plan for a con tinuous year-round school, of four terms, aggregating 4S weeks, will not be adopted in Portland for some time was clearly indicated by the discission of the teacher's committee of the School Board last night we are not reaay yet ior me mi.ru nrtinn eif enn tinu oua schools In Port land," said Dr. Sommer. "The thing la win miirh In ttiA nmhrvo t h 'At -we can not hope to adopt it for some time." ' "While I don't know what Superin tendent Alderman would say if he were Vi t f.al r-1 :4 1 n hA would not rec- ommend the continuous Bchool plan for immediate adoption," . said Assistant Superintendent Rice. - Dr. Alan Welch Smith was of the same opinion. , . , : Two-Term Plan Readopted. ' As a result of this sentiment the 'teachers' committee recommended that the regular two-term plan be readopted, with modifications aimed at the cutting down of vacation days.. According to an estimate given by School Clerk Thomas, the district has paid out over $65,000 in the last three years, for which no return was received. This was due to the arrangement of the term ends, by which teachers drew pay for days they did not work. The district's payroll Is $8500 a day and the Board members feel that this amount is lost in. in stances where pay is givea without As a solution of the congested school problem the teachers' committee decid ed that all district boundary lines should be pbliterated and all schools filled up at the arbitrary discretion of the superintendents. At present many communities are demanding the erection of new school buildings, while many rooms in other buildings are not being occupied. The plan is to play "checkers," as Dr. Smith described it, with the various buildings, the pupils to be shifted about bo that all rooms shall be filled. Laurelhnrst School Denied. While discussing this phase the com mittee voted to refuse the request for a Laurelhurst school. It was pointed out. that several school buildings, in cluding the Kerns, Fernwood, Glencoe and Rose City Park, were located with in easy approach of Laurelhurst. It was argued by the members that Lau relhurst has not a sufficient number of children to warrant the erection of a separate school at this time. At the request of John S. Beall and L. W. Buckley, of the Manufacturers . i . i u - tAafhom' committee AS&OUHUVU, - agreed to recommend to the general Board that an ls-ioot etrip i the site of the Boys' School of Trades j, . ,ha sunnlementary use of the land products show, to be held in Portland Irom uciooer n i -ber lf inclusive.

Sex Hygiene Teaching Favored. Sex hygiene conservatively taught in the schools will be indorsed; parents will be urged to enlighten their chil dren on sex questions;-and the teach ing of sex hygiene in normal schools probably will be recommended. Federal aid for vocational training in publiQ' echools- will ibo- asked in, - an other resolution and still another will be urged that uniform wording of the National song be adopted. "Radical changes in the existing cur ricula of high schools in the United States were advocated by speakers at the department of manual training and art education. "A child may be 10 years old, 13 years old physically and 65 years old mentally," said Miss Mary R. Campbell, of Chicago, who Is conducting psycho logical tests. "When this is understood the entire system of education will be changed to fit the conditions." National business ability tests for students who have taken courses in business colleges and commercial schools were recommended by Sher wln Cody, of Chicago.

Salaries Below Bread Line. To bring the teaching profession from "below the bread line" - in the matter of salary, there must be woman suffrage, according to Miss Margaret Haley, of Chicago, who spoke tonight on salaries. ' "There are thousands of teachers in Illinois whose salaries are below the bread line." Miss Haley said. "Of the 30,000 Illinois teachers 20,000 are paid less than carpenters, who receive JS02 a year average. "Minimum-wage commissions over investigate the wages of teachers be cause they do not class teachers as working women.- The teachers them selves do not wish to . be classed as workingwomen. N "UntiL -the-. timid " teachers -organise and go out and get the ballot they need expect no change in conditions. . "It is time for the boards of educa tion and the highly-paid executives at the top to wake up and realize that good teachers must have enough to eat and wear." - Commissioner Claxton promised the co-operation of the Board of Education in obtaining increased salaries for teachers of America. He said the Board now is issuing a bulletin which will develop the first National Information about the subject. "Ninety per cent of the wealth of the Nation Is made by teachers," said Mr. Claxton. "We must make the public realize that the teach ers count more than any other factor in the making of community wealth." STATE BOARD IGNORED CLACKAMAS DOCTORS REPORT TO OSTEOPATHIC OFFICER. Instructions to ''Pass Up" Dr. J. A.. Van Brakle Fall Flat When Threat , -to Prosecute Is Made. ' OREGON CITY, Or., July 7. (Spe cial.) Despite the order of the State Board of Health that the doctors file all the vital statistic " reports direct with the State Board and ignore Dr. J. A. Van Brakle, 'the osteopathic county health officer, every physician outside of Oregon City has sent in his June report to that official. i Several reports have come even from Oregon- City, the center of- the fight against Dr. Van Brakle. The health officer will submit these reports to the State Board in the usual way. On June 1 it became known that Dr. Calvin S. White had notified the local physicians that they should report di rectly to the State Board. The order said that Dr. Van Brakle was not county health officer, although the County Court- refused to remove him, and an action to oust him was non suited several months ago in the Cir cuit Court. " As soon as Van Brakle learned of this action he began to collect Informa tion so that the matter could be brought to an issue. The state law provides a penalty for every case not reported to the county health officer and constitutes a separate offense. Dr. Van Brakle intended to test out the case on that issue. - CITY POOL IS PLANNED Vancouver May Lease 'Old Swimmln' " Hole' on Bnrnt Bridge Creek. VANCOUVER. Wash.. July 7. (Spe cial.) The old "swimmln" hole," on Burnt Bridge Creek, just outside the city limits, probably will be leased by the city for a period of three years and made into a place where a larger num ber of boys can enjoy a swim In the hot Summer days. C H. Falk, who owns the property, is willing to lease the land for a nomi nal sum. The City Council has appoint ed a committee composed of G. R. Per clval, Harry Steel and George E.

Is PLAYLET IS STIRRING ONE Harry Jolson Is Plaintive Black face Artist Who Captivates Ani mals Pose Like Statues Quar tet and Dancers Vie. If there were only two acts on the Pantages bill this week the patrons would be getting their money's worth and more. As it is, wit" five really good numbers, the show is one of the best that this house has put on for many a week. For flrst-place honors It is a toss-up between a musical playlet, with a very unusual setting, and a king of black face artists. The playlet ' is entitled "The Luck of a Totem" and deals with life in Alaska, where strong men vie for the love of a girl. The Sheriff raises the little girl of his partner, vho. with his wife, was killed. Keeping the girl In innocence of the tieath of. her father, he unwit tingly grows to love her, as do all the men. in. the camp. On her 19th birth day he tells the men the true situation, which the girl misunderstands. She decides, in consequence, to leave the camp. Just as she is .leaving she finds that her love for the Sheriff is great enough to keep her there. A half-breed, also in love with her, tries to kill the Sheriff, but meets his just reward. The play abounds in exciting episodes. The company is a -strong one. Miss Agnes Cain-Brown, as the girl, fills the part and looks it to perfection, while the impersonation of the big and brawny, yet childlike Sheriff, by Harry Girard, Is an excellent piece of work. Jack Henderson, as the half-breed, easily is the next best, though all are worthy of mention. The singing is excellent, both in the solos and in the chorus work. The lyrics are the work of Joseph Blethen, Jr., of Seattle. Then we come to Harry Jolson, a humorous, plaintive man, in burnt cork disguiBe. His "Sextette From Lucia,". .where he impersonates three people, and his parody on "Melba, the contortionist," trough! down the house. Mr. Jolson must be seen to be appre ciated, for his work is first-class . Animal statuary is far from a com mon Bight, due to the extraordinary care and patience needed to train the animals. Emmie La Toy, with Wood ward's posing dogs, presented some tableaux which were exceptionally ar tistic, in which the animals showed wonderful self control. In all four white dogs, two bull terriers and two toy toodles gave some dosen or more poses, never moving from their posi tions and hardly winking an eye. - The Orpheus quartet, with makeups that were a scream, especially in their representations of four maiden ladies of varying sizes and ugliness, provided the rapid comedy of the bill, while an other act that pleased the audience was that of the Basy troupe of Russian Dan cers. Their costumes and the steps of numerous - Russian native dances sent quite an atmosphere of The Steppes over the fotolights. ' Pantagescope concluded the MIL.

T. L. O'Shea, who served on board tne U. S. S. Vermont and on the Prairie during the recent action at Vera Crus, transferred to the recruiting serytce and stationed in the Portland office, brings a thrilling series of stories of the occupation of Vera Crus and -the events that followed It. The new Vera Cruz Is a revelation, he says. While he was not in the immediate engagement that took place at the Naval Academy on the morning or April 22, stationed on the Vermont, within a stone's throw, so to speak, of the engagement, he was a witness of all the scenes of the battle in which nine American men lost their lives.
