Officer Charge Jefferson vc With Failure to Reglater for Millr i tary Service. The first "slacker" case actually to be tried in Oregon will come up before Federal Judge Bean this morning, when J.efterson New, recently indicted in Ore gon City for alleged evasion of the draft law, will attempt to prove that he is more than 31 years of age, and not 30, as charged by Clackamas County officials. The defendant, a resident of Jennings Lodge, was arrested some time ago, charged with evading the draft law, it being suspected that he was within the age required to register. The prin cipal matter In evidence is a large family Bible In which the date of New's birth is recorded as March 23, 1$S6. It is the contention of draft authori ties that the date was deliberately changed in the Bible either by New or by members. of his family, and that a conspiracy has been conducted to con ceal the true age of the defendant. Among the witnesses summoned from Clackamas County to testify are Sheriff Wilson, Deputy District Attorney Burke and County Clerk Harrine-ton. The trial will begin at the opening of court this morning, jurors having been drawn yesterday afternoon. DRY CITY IS PREDICTED SAN FRANCISCO TO PAY PENALTY FOR LAW VIOLATIONS.

KERENSKY CABINET 15 HOPE OF RUSSIA Salvation of Democracy Is Seen in Formation of New Ministry. PRO-GERMANS DEFEATED Speech of Tereschenko, Drawing Appalling Picture of Russia in Revolution, Turning; Point in Favor of Government. PETROGRAD, Oct. 11. (Special.) Kerensky's cabinet as completed crowns the efforts of the Democratic Congress and finds a common path with the Bourgeoise for the salvation of Russia. It seems to be an extremely strong ministry, nearly the strongest yet. If it will work in the same spirit shown in the negotiations between the dele gates of the Democratic Congress and the Bourgeoise a good firm govern ment will be attained. But more im portant just now, the pro-Germans and extremists have been defeated and the Russian outlook for the first time in many months is brighter. Boargeolse Receive Places. About 120 of the Bourgeoise receive places in the Council, thus assuring a large majority for the moderates. The Bolsheviks have resolved to convene an all-Russian Congress of the Soviet in Petrograd at the end of this month, in which there probably will be a large majority for the Bolsheviks. Still the Democratic Congress has a month to show what it is capable of doing. In any case the more enlightened elements are strongly represented in the Coun cil and the country is eick and tired of demagoguery and disorders. The dan ger is not so great as it might appear. From the first meeting of the Demo cratic Congress it was evident that the Bourgeoise had a sincere desire for coalition. Tercuchenlto's Appeal Stirs. The really culminating point was the speech of Tereschenko. who drew an appalling picture of the democratization of the country, stating that Russia In the last few months was losing influ ence as a state in the eyes, not only of the world at large, but' even of the allied democracies. "Only real, earnest coalition can save Russia," he declared. "Otherwise I must refuse to remain in the cabinet and be responsible for the destruction of my country." Tereschenko's speech produced a tre mendous effect on those present. As the cadets and the Democratic Council accepted conditions, Kerensky was to All up the cabinet. The main points of agreement are the practical acceptance of Cheidze's Moscow programme and the non-responsibility of the provision al government before the Democratic Courfcil, but collaboration with it. These most delicate questions seemed doubtful of acceptance by the Council, but after the stirring appeal of Tere schenko they were approved in the face of ths severest opposition. SECURITIES BREAK BADLY Liquidation in Rails Said to Have Been Chief Iisturbcr. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Another se rious break occurred in the stock mar ket today, caused by fresh liquidation in rails, which showed losses of from 1 to 4 points. The selling came from various sources, yet was unaccompanied by any definite developments. Some of it was attributed to exhausted margins, but in the main it seemed to reflect a pessi mistic mood on the part of investors. Steels and other industrials were swept into the general decline at ex treme recessions of from 2 to 4 points. RED CROSS BALL SUCCESS Sale of IIome-Made 'Candles Netted Ladies More Than $6 0. VANCOUVER. Wash., Oct. 11. (Spe cial.) More than $200 was netted from tno Red Cross ball held in the post gymnasium last night, tinder the direc tion of Colonel YV . K.

Two vessels of less than 1600 tons were lost; eight ships were attacked unsuccessfully. PROVISION PRICES DROP Selling Movement Apparently Due to tJoveriiment Action. CHICAGO, Oct. 11. For the third successive day the provision market this morning underwent setbacks in price that were sharp to a degree sel dom equaled. In addition to previous breaks pork today dropped more than J2.25 a barrel. Lard and ribs fell $1.50 or more a hundred pounds. The chief impetus to sell apparently came from Government efforts to com pel cheaper prices for food. - KAISER'S GRIP LOOSENS Contlnue1 From First Pace. together with Dittman and Vogtherr, were accused by the Minister of Ma rine of being involved in the mutiny plot, has. consistently rejected the votes of credit before the Reichstag in ac cordance with his declaration on Au gust 4, 1914. He, with Liebnecht, Ruehle and Tehring. has held that even a defensive war by Germany was wrong and naturally hasdone everything pos sible to bring peace. President's Policy Justified. Last February the Socialist major ity, of which Seheidemann is the leader. excommunicated the minority, and in April the latter constituted themselves an independent party. Though all .the German Socialists in the Reichstag, numbering 110 members, advocate dras tic internal reforms, they differ on questions of peace terms. The one big lesson to be drawn from the recent German uprising is that it shows the wisdom of President Wil son's policy in differentiating between the German people and the rulers. The speech in which teh President drew the line carefully between, these two groups put into the minds of the German peo ple the germ which later fermented into a serious mutiny. The view is taken in some quarters here that the disclosures about the re volt were made merely to strengthen the hand of the government and to dis credit the Socialists involved in the plots, but it is impossible to explain away the revolution itself, which is the first big indication the world has had of a true undercurrent of feeling toward peace moving beneath the Ger man camouflage surface of calm. GREEKS SHOW LOYALTY HELLENES IN PORTLAND PUSHING LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN. Committee Named ly Community Canvass City and Obtain Subscriptions. The Greek community of Portland at a -meeting yesterday in the Common wealth building, threw its influence and organization into the second liberty loan campaign. More than 100 Greek residents of Portland, representing a much larger number of Greek in habitants, voted tor canvass the city and enlist the financial aid of all Greeks, from the day laborers to mer chants.

Stamoulis, Thomas Lampropoulos and Thomas Givas. This committee will co-operate with the general liberty loan campaign committee and a good subscription is expected to result. "In this connection I would like to notify the general committee that if, in their campaign work, they run across Greeks who have not yet sub scribed to the loan, or who show an Inclination to wait, it means that the man ?n question probably is waiting for a vist from the special Greek com mittee," said President Sourapas. "The Greeks of this country are generally loyal to the United States and will give creditable financial assistance. There are some established merchants in this city who will make substantial subscriptions. The committee will go into all walks of life and will help those who haven't the ready money, to make some arrangements whereby they can subscribe." MEXICANS FEAR DRAFT LABORERS IN SOUTHERN STATES ARE CROSSING BORDER. Provost General Marshal Crovrder Repeats- Statement That All Aliens Are Exempted. WASHINGTON. Oct. 1. Provost Marshal-General Crowder reiterated today a statement that Mexican citizens are not liable to draft in the United States National Army. "In the Southwestern states," said the Provost Marshal-General, "the im pression prevails that Mexican citizens are liable for draft in the National Army, and this impression has caused the exodus to Mexico of many foreign laborers.

"Like other residents, Mexicans were required to register under the selective service act.

ROYALTY PAYMENT FIXED Opinion Ratifies Work Already Done and Insures Employment of En tire Aircraft-Producing Ca pacity of Xatlon. WASHINGTON. Oct, 11. Legal ap proval has been given the agreement between the Aircraft Production Board and the Airplane Manufacturers' Asso ciation, clearing away a possible seri ous obstacle to the Government's $640, 000,000 aircraft programme. Attorney General Gregory has held, it was learned today, that the pooling plan to prevent patent litigation does not vio late the Sherman anti-trust law. The effect of the opinion is to ratify all work done by the Aircraft Produc tion Board and the advisory committee for aeronautics, and insure the em ployment of the entire airplane-producing capacity of the country. The agreement provides for the pool ing in the Airplane Manufacturers' As sociation of the basic airplane patents known as the Wright and Curtiss pat ents and also of all other airplane pat ents now held or hereafter developed by members of the association. Provision is made for royalty pay ments of $200 a machine, a reduction to about one-fifth of the sum asked by patent holders. With the exception of 125. to maintain the association, the royalty goes to holders of controlling patents. A maximum limit of $2,000, 000 is fixed for each of the Wright and Curtiss claims. The plan is a substitute worked out by the advisory committee for aero nautics for that proposed in the act of Congress appropriating $1,000,000 for Government purchase of basic airplane patents and authorizing condemnation proceedings if necessary. The effect has been to reduce the pre-war cost of airplanes to the -Government by 50 per cent, with the prob ability that it will be halved again, owing to quantity production contracts.
