Registration at these two schools has been discontin- PROMISEXT WOM A X PIO- t NKICR OIKS 1IKRK. SALEM. Or.. Sept. 25. (Special.) All dolled up in white suits and wear ins yards of purple ribbons and other decorations emblematic of their order, more than 1000 Portland Elks aug mented by half as many of their wives and sweethearts, arrived here this inornini; by special train und were later taken to the state fair grounds where they contributed ma terially to the success of the biggest day in the history of Oregon's annual gala event. Although accurate figures were not obtainable tonight, A. H. Lea, secre tary of the fair board, estimated that more than 40,000 persons had passed through the turnstile3 up to 6 o'clock, thereby smashing all previous attend ance records. Yesterday's attendance was a trifle above the 38,000 mark, while Portland probably contributed the largest number of visitors on ElkF day of any single community in the state. There were thousands of members of the order present from other sections of Oregon, and in the aggregate the antlered herd made a better showing at the state fair to day than ever before. .Salem Elka Meet Visitors. Committees of the Salem lodge were at the depot when the Special trains arrived and the visitors were hur riedly Ushered into automobiles and driven to the Elks' club rooms, where "a dainty luncheon was served. Then followed the automobile parade, in which rode the visiting Elks and their ladies. Probably the most entertain ing feature of the afternoon was the Elks vaudeville show, which wag staged in the new livestock stadium in the presence of several thousand people. The programme teemed with satire, comedy and music, and mora than once the participants were forced .to respond to the applause that fol lowed their respective numbers. Music by the Rosarian band, a parade of baby Elks, songs by Meadows and Esmond, songs by the Stillwater sis ters, an act by Bray and Hooligan, solo by C. L. McDonald, appearance of Varney and Everson and a grand finale by Moore and Moore, saxophone artists, made up the programme. The afternoon programme, which was featured by the best speed events witnessed on Lone Oak track for many years, was followed by a special con cert in the livestock pavilion. The Multnomah Guard band, in charge of Sir. and Mrs. Ferdinand Reed, fur nished music for this event. The bandsmen were in their military uni forms, and received much applause. The band also visited the capitol dur ing the day, serenading Governor Ol cott and other state officials tonight. Klag Ceremonies Held. The visiting Elks again assembled In the agricultural auditorium, where ceremonies attendant to demobiliza tion of the service flag of the Salem lodge were held. The principal ad dress was delivered by Senator Louis Lachmund of Salem, while a violin solo by Miss Elizabeth Levy and mu sic by Tomassino's Italian band added to the entertainment. Ninety members of the Salem lodge of Elks served in various branches of military service during the late war, two of whom were killed in ac tion. Mr. Lachmund dwelt in his ad dress on the part played by the Elks In defeating the Hun, and especially was laudatory of the men who took up arms and went to the field of battle. Americanism, tempered with beautiful eulogy of those who died for their country, furnished the theme of his address. About one hundred Rosarlans from Portland, many accompanied by their wives and sweethearts, also were here today, and, like the Elks, they were entertained at luncheon and partici pated in the big doings. Salem Cher rians played an important part In the entertainment provided for the visit ing Rosarians. Tonight the Repari ans were entertained at dinner by the local Elks. Rosai-lass Are Entertained. At the commercial club C. B. Clancy entertained 85 members of the Port land Rose society at luncheon served In the auditorium. Members of this organization also were taken for automobile rides about Salem and the nearby rural districts, as well as being afforded an opportunity to visit the state fair. Visiting members of the Portland Rose society also are guests of honor tonight at a dinner served by the Salem Floral society. Another delightful feature in connec tion with today's-programme was the annual banquet of the Oregon Pure bred Livestock association held to right. Livestock raisers from many sections of the United States were present, and brief and witty toasts added interest to the occasion. The horse show also was repeated In the livestock stadium tonight with the largest attendance for the week One of the most attractive places on the fairgrounds tonight was the "trail," brilliantly Illuminated and gay with music and hilarity. The hawkers bid in the shekels and all the shows were crowded to their capacity, while the jazz dances and other places of amusement had their quota of visitors. Downtown District Lively. The downtown district also pre sented a scene of unusual activity to night and it was not until late that the crowds dispersed and went to their homes feeling that they had passed perfect day. While many of the Elks left for their homes on the special trains tonight, others will remain over until tomorrow that they may better inspect the exhibits and othe attractions. Tomorrow is Willamette valley and good roads day, and although the crowd probably will not be as large as today, indications point to a sue cessful programme. There will b Judging of livestock, concert by th Yamhill band, races, fire drill, horse show, and other attractions. Featuring Saturday's programm will be automobile races, in which number of the world's champion speed demons will participate. One of the outstanding features of me women's textile exhibit is a large photograph of Colonel Carle Adams receiving from the mayor of Winches ter, England, a large flag, the cere monies taking place in the presence of thousands of allied military men on July 14, 1918. The flag was pre sented tc the American soldiers in ap- preciation of their gallant service against the Hun. Another new exhibit in this depart ment includes embroideries made by several American soldiers while serv--lng in France. One large centerpiece, in white, is attracting much admira tion. The women say the textile ex hibit ia larcer and better than" ever 1 f 1 W V J t I V ' . - it w: IP f Ml - -41 if xh , ' V f ' i" , " 'I" ed. No immediate relief is in sight. From present indications it appears hat midyear classes will not be ad mitted to high school on account of lack of room. Total registration this year is 1397, as against 1186 for last year.

'TOKIO, Aug.. 27. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The mili tary influences in the Japanese gov ernment appear to have won a clear victory in the struggle over the ques tion of entering the powers' consor tium to lend money to China. The military groups stood for the exclu sion of Mongolia and Manchuria from the scope of the consortium and the cabinet finally agreed to it. despite the-contention oX Foreign Minister Uchida that the waiving, of Japanese preferential rights in the above named districts would go a good way in removing foreign suspicions of Japan's aggressiveness in China. The Tokio Asahl explains the Japa nese case as follows: "Though the banking- consortium has nominally the exalted aim of com mon effort among the powers in de veloping China, its real, object is to prevent competitive investment among the powers and impose mutual re straints. From China's standpoint separate loans would be more ad vantageous, as she could make them where and for what purpose she liked. When the sextuple loan syndi cate was formed a few years ago its operations were limited to political loans and China therefore felt.no in convenience. In the case of the pres ent consortium, however, not only political but economic loans are to be included. Consequently China will suffer heavy restraint and disad vantages, political and economic." After declaring that leading Chi nese financiers are agitating against the consortium, the paper says: "The Japanese government has de cided to Insist upon the exclusion of Manchuria and Mongolia, so if the other powers do not agree to this Japan's actions in China will be entirely independent. "But the other powers will have to consider the effects Of Japan's with drawal very seriously, for the prob lems of China, whether economic or political, cannot be solved by mere force of money. Again, who can safe ly invest in China under such .un settled conditions as prevail at pres- nt? Is there anyone but Japan who can safeguard investments and the nterest thereon? If the other powers xclude Japan from the consortium they will pay dearly for it. . . We therefore indorse the decision of the cabinet against unlimited participa- ion'.' W. W.

APANESE LABOR -WINS Hood River Growers Decline to Re strict Asiatics, as Asked. HOOD RIVER, Or., Sept. 25. (Spe- ial.) Efforts of a radical element of rchardists, opposed to Japanese resi- ents here, who are desirous of pre- enting the employment of Japanese labor on the part of ranchers, have been defeated. An organization of growers, who recently met, pledging themselves either to sell nor lease real estate to Japanese, was asked to include in their restrictions a pledge against mployment.
