LOYAL Government and Rebels Each Has .Powerful Backing and Results Will Depend on Speed With, AVliich Trouble Develops. "WASHINGTON. Sept. 11. Whether Russia, faces anarchy and a reign of terror ai. the fruit, of Central Korniloff's revolt against Premier Kercnsky's provisional (rovernment depends large ly, in the opinion of officials and diplo mats here, on the speed with -which the iluation develops. If tho deposed commander-in-chief, now reported marching on Petrograd with troops personally loyal to him, makes a spectacular show of (strength within the next few lays it is believed strong political Influences, now secretly wavering in allegiance to the govern ment, may swing over, give him a pre ponderance of authority and pave the way for a powerful dictatorship. KereDMkr Has Chance Win. If Premier Kerensky, on the other hand, is able to hold fast to the sup port of enough of the various political groups on whose attitude the allegiance of the army largely depends, he may crush the revolt quickly, adopt eome fi the strict disciplinary rules advo cated by the ivorniloff element and weld the democratic forces into a Stronger instrument to fight Germany. The complete ascendency of either Kerensky or Korniloff would satisfy most persons here most interested in Jtussia's well being. It Is the middle (situation, the conflict whic.i would make the Russians kill Russians, which they fear and which, judging by to day's unofficial dispatches, seems en tirely possible. Civil war then might lead either to separate peace with Oer mnny or restoration of the monarchy, with Its Inevitable train of evil conse quences. Many Remain lioyal. Out of the haze of the Russian sit uation, as reported unofficially today, officials developed the impression that the provisional government probably could count on the support of the navy, a large part of the army, particularly in the interior: railway employes and industrial workers. Korniloff probably expects the hack ing of a strong element of military leaders, the Duma, members of the intel Jei'tunl classes, the Cossacks and other considerable professional fighting ele ments of the army. In addition, it is probable he would be openly supported by the commercial Interests and the Social Democrat political group as soon as he shows strength. Armlea May Parley. Premier Kerensky's sources of strength, however, include the usual advantage of government authority to make arrests and deaf out immediate punishment to violators 'of its orders, and the extensive system of govern ment representatives among the troops at the front.- Through the channels of these commissioners it is likely that the government already has dissemi nated information calculated, to retain the soldiers' loyalty. Another situation which may render difficult Korniloff's attempt to march on Petrograd and seize Russia's rule by force Is that the armies have be come so democratized they can easily conduct negotiations without recourse to their commanders, and they may re fuse to Are on their brothers in arms when the time comes for meeting of troops representing the opposing ele ments. Opinion here is divided as to whether p. pussage of the crisis will lead to a united and strengthened Russia. Whatever the next few days may de velop, officials here point to the re newed offensive of the German-Austrian armies in Bukowina as proof That the present crisis will be used by the central powers as an opportunity for them.

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 11. News dis patches to the effect that passports may be handed to the German and Swedish diplomatic representatives to Argentina are declared by the foreign minister to be premature, as the gov ernment is unable even to consider such a procedure unless it receives official details respecting the Wash ington revelations. The foreign minister announces that the steamers Oran and Guazo referred to in one of the messages sent by Count Iuxburg through the Swedish legation to the German Foreign Office arrived at French ports in June, after Luxburg had sent his dispatch.

It will be a series of balconies out over the river, which will make it even more delightful for the Summer toilower.i of the dance. , The Exterior will be modeled after one of the famous grottos in the East ern pleasure resorts. What has been the dance floor will be made a popular priced restaurant, where dainty lunches and popular dishes will be served in fashion. Tables will be set under the great trees of the park and costumed maids will serve in tho quaint dress of foreign landt. Improvements Are Planned. The Auditorium, too, will receive extensive repairs inside and out and new seats will be installed through out. Also the capacity will be in creased. Many new attractions will be built. Two of the sensational features that speed fiends will enjoy are "The Whip" and the "Monkey Speedway.". A new Jumping-horse merry-go-round costing about $10,000 is now having it3 foun dation built. The Oaks closed its gates after tho most successful year in five, accord ing to Manager Cordray. "We liko to believe that the show ing this year was the public's apprecia tion of tho ideals we have set," said Mr. Cordray last night. "We started out a few years ago with the grim determination to make this a high class park, where nothing . but the cleanest of amusement properly man aged should be provided. It seems we have succeeded. Car Service Kxeellent. "The streetcar company also deserves credit for the capable manner in which the crowds were handled this year and I am sure that with the co-operation all-around that we had, the Oaks again will be a financial success." An Eastern amusement magazine which recently came to the attention of Manager Cordray is quite interested in the endeavors of the local park. It describes- it as a place where mother and the "kiddies" go out in the afternoon and then about evening father comes out and all enjoy din- i.er. It assumes that everybody in Portland does that. It also seems to think it quite strange that an amuse ment park whtch has always catered to the best people can be made a go, er.d gives the credit to Manager Cord ray without hesitation. general strike, depriving Korniloff of all supplies and of all means of im posing his will on the rest of Russia. Premier Kerensky is having diffi culties within the capital from the ex tremists on both sides. Following the ultimatum of General Korniloff, the whole Russian Cabinet resigned to give Premier Kerensky full liberty of action. All the ministers for the time being will remrtln in their offices. Regarding military prospects of the revolt, it was stated today -that weeks ago General Korniloff, declaring that he desired to prevent military conges tion, withdrew from the capital troops devoted to the provisional government, but at tho same time sent to Petro grad various units which he considered certain to support himself. General Korniloff had not had time to remove all governmental troops, It appears, and the superiority of the forces in Petrograd is believed to be on tho side of the provisional govern ment. It is stated slso that the pro-Kornil off troops in Petrograd had no -prior knowledge of the plot. They have so far been quiet, but among them is pro ceeding a dangerous ferment, primarily directed against the Bolshlviki major ity of the garrison. DALLAS PAIR HOT FOUND E. W. V1ERS AND MRS.

HEAD OF GREAT BANK FOUND EMBEZZLER Late J. B. Martindale Took $300,000 From Chemical National of New York. BANK MAKES LOSS GOOD Former Executive Manipulates Ac count of Wealthy Depositor, Pre tending to Place Amounts on Deposit In Another Bank. WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. Controller Williams issued a statement tonight asserting investigation had disclosed that the late J. B. Martindale. presi dent of the Chemical National Bank, of New York, who died in July, 1917. was an embezzler and forger to the extent of about $300,000. The amount was taken, the controller arvnounced, from the account of a wealthy de positor, and the bank had arranged to make good the entire sum. Capital and surplus of the bank amounting to $10,000,000, Mr. Williams said, were not impaired in the slightest degree by the alleged operations of Martindale. Mr. Martindale had been president of the bank since December, 1910, and prior to that had been for a number of years its vice-president. "The loss, says the statement, will be charged out of the bank's undivided profits, which at the present time amount to over $1,500,000 after chaig- ng off tho $300,000. Deposit Account JaffKlrd. "The suspicions of the bank's offi cers were aroused while ilartindale was absent from the bank, ill in a hospital, shortly before his death. The money was not stolen directly from the bank but was obtained by manipu lating the deposit accounts of the wealthy depositor, for whom Martin dale acted as financial adviser and trusted agent. Under Presldent-Martin-dale'B instructions, the statements of this depositor's account were rendered by the bank periodically to Martindale and he then manipulated them before submitting them to tho depositor. "The method by which Martindale obtained most of the money was by withdrawing money from this deposi tor's account either through a forged check or by a 'debit slip' signed by himself as president. Amounts Listed as Deposits. "In explaining to the depositor at the end of each month these with drawals, Martindale's plan was to In form the unsuspecting depositor that he had placed the sums so withdrawn from the Chemical National Bank to the depositor's credit in a certain trust company in New York City, one of whose depositor a pass books he had obtained and in which he would enter upon In his own handwriting as de posits with the trust company the amounts of money which he had with drawn from the Chemical National Bank. "He also forged the depositor's name to certain demand notes to the extent of about JSC.tOO, which amount he also got from the Chemical Bank and per sonally a pproprfated. The aggregate amount of trie rorged notes placed In tho Chfemlcal Bank and the false credits shown on the deposit or passbook of the trust company was about $300,000. No Other Irrcsralarltle Found. "Such embezslements and forgeries would have been practically impossible had they not been perpetrated by an officer of the bank in whom the di rectors and junior officers reposed im plicit confidence. "The Chemical National tsanK nas ar ranged to make good to the depositors the entire amount thus embezzled. "The National bank examiner of New York has practically completed his regular semi-annual examination of the Chemical National Bank and has re ported to the Controller's office that the bank is in fine condition, ine ex aminer also states that he finds no in dications whatsoever of further misappropriations."

Kisenbrand, a dentist, was shot and killed by his wife in his offices in the Republic building, State and Adams streets, today.

Xleatl was almost instantaneous. "I-shot him. 1 shot him." Mrs. Hlsen- brand shouted as her husband fell un conscious to the floor. "Please tell our 14-year-old eon.

Mrs. Eisenbrand was taken to the de tective bureau and questioned by Chief of Detectives Mooney. I could not stand It any longer," she told the Chief. "I fired four shots. I purchased the revolver a month ago In a State-street department store, not to kill George, but to protect myself. It was lonesome out where we live In Hubbard woods and I felt safer with a weapon near."
