IS THE " 3IORXING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1915, MEXICAN WAR IS 'SLOW PORTLAND MAX RKTIRXS AFTER. :i SERVING WITH VILLA. Northern Chief Able to Hold Ground aa Long as Supplied with Anna- . nltlon, la View. "As long as Villa Is able to keep supplied with arms and ammunition, and as long as his lieutenants remain faithful, Carranza will have a hard time subjugating him," said W. A. Shannon, who has just returned from Mexico, where for several months he has been operating1 a machine son for Villa in Northern Sonora. Mr. Shannon went to Mexico 16 months ago to do. prospecting along the Oulf of California. He spent eight or nine months there with a party of other prospectors who joined the forces of Villa. According to Mr. Shannon the forces of Villa are so familiar with the con ditions In the northern part of Mexico that capturing them practically is im possible. Mr. Shannon declared that Villa was a brigand and a horsethief, and had been one all his life. Felipo Angeles, Mr. Shannon said, was the brains of the Villa movement. .Fighting Mexicans was rather slow, said Mr. shannon, because of the fact that all the forces lighting moved around so much. Most of the soldier's time, he declared, was spent in track ing the enemy. Only a few real en gagements were experienced by him in the entire seven months. Mr. Shannon has resided In Portland intermittently for Ave or six years. FESTIVAL NAMES COME IN Committee Withholds liist Tnti! Nominations Are Closed.

BY LEONK CAPS BAER. JUPT before h ian onto the Orpheum Ftaje to take his two-a-day bath, I had a minuto's chat with IToudini, man rf mystery. He and Annette ICeller man are probably the tidiest, cleanest frtlk in the world, for they actually pet paid for taking a bath. No. Houdini didn't tell me how he does any of his tricks, but he gave me a srreat. bi:? book written by himself which exposes a lot of the best little illusions some other folk have done. He only smile? in a lazy, friendly way and says l never wacer. I only entertain. I have amused all my life, but now 1 am going- to claim recognition for an invention of utility. I have lately per fected a device for deep-sea divers to use as a preventive f rom drowning: in case of accidents. So my funmaking has served as something bigger, after all that is. if there really Is anything s-reater than making people forget their worries." Houdini has one splendid belief. He believes that every good deed we do for our parents will be repaid to us an hundred fold. He decries the lack of reverence and homage the modern jouth gives to his parents.' "It will all come back some day. the rrood or the bad we give them." His mother's memory is the most beauti ful thing in Houdini" s wonderfully busy and eventful life. In a little case in his pocket he carries- her picture, taken just before she passed out. two years ago. It shows a sweet-faced lit tle old mother kising her big son Harry Houdini. "It is my good-luck charm, this pic ture," he says. Houdini is the son of a Jewish rabbi, and was born on April 6, 1S74. This is his 32d year on the stage. The town he names as his birthplace is Appleton, Wis., which is also famous, if my schoolday memory serves me right, as the home of the first electric streetcar. Houdini is a fatalist. He is married and has been for 22 years, which shat ters again that fond belief that stage marriages, never take. He Is an au thor of a dozen books on magic, is president of the Magicians Club in London, piydes himself on being a reg'la fellow, belongs to the Elks and never was in Portland before, and did not say one word about our scenery, our roses. Mount Hood or our apples. HIKER FOR DRYS HERE YOITH OK 18 AROLSIXJ INTEREST THROUGHOUT COISTRV. To Herald National Convention, Chi eaeo Worker Ha. Completed 42O0 of Proposed 13,000-M lie Walk.

SIcGahan, aged 18, has just arrived In Portland on the first half of his circuit of the United States in the interest of the National prohi bition convention that will be held In Minneapolis next Summer. . McGahan. wearing his hair down his back, "to keen the rain from running down his neck," excites the curiosity of all he meets. He says that Ire real izes that he is an oddity in his khaki trousers, wool shirt and heavy walkins T s. ill!! i $ Lawrence P. McGahan, "Hiking" h lease Prohibitionist. Arrives In Portland. shoes and with a knapsack strapped to his back, but he cares not, for the more advertising he gets the more publicity will the cause that he repre sents gain, and that is his mission. McGahan has completed 4200 of the proposed 13.000-mile "hike," and is just as enthusiastic over the rest of the trip as he was when he started. Mr. McGahan was in the employ of Marshall Field & Co.. up to about a year ago. Although he is the son of a former saloonkeeper and declares that all the relatives that he has on his father's side are lined with saloon in teersts. he felt that he was to set a precedent. Leaving the employ of Marshall Field and resigning his office as president of the Christian Endeavor of the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, he started on his Nation-wide mission. From Portland Mr. McGahan will go to Newberg and from there to San Francisco, Los Angeles and then east through Phoenix and Jacksonville. He will return to New York from Florida and thence to Minneapolis to attend the Prohibition National Convention. In going from Boston to Chicago Mr. McGahin will attempt to make the 1000-mile trip" in 1000 consecutive hours, walking a mile the first part of each hour and using the rest of the hour for eating and sleeping.
