A bis injuries are about the head and necessitated, an operation, it is doubt ful if he will have the opportunity to show his skill against this aggre gation from the mainland. This will. Indeed, be a sad blow to Ross, for he itches for the chance to swim the liuke the century. He will have now as his main contender Harold "Stubby" Kruger. Stubby is bo slouch in the 100 and with him and Hoss fighting for the title a new world record is looked for. Da Well Matched. Both of the swimmers remember well the battle they waged for seven lorg miles when they were contest ants in the national long-distance I tent mile, and out of which Ross finally dropped In the seventh mile. At no time during that gruelling seven-mile swim were either of the boys a foot apart and the coming duel will hold the attention of the swimming world. The nataturs will arrive in Hono lulu a week before the meet, giving them plenty of time to train for the events, as they are all in condition now. This will be Stubby's first visit to hia island home since 1917. when he came to the states with the Duke and Clarence Lane to swim for the Tied Cross. Frances Cowells Schroth, who this year has staged a come-back never before equaled by any woman swimmer, is the only member of the party that has cause for worry. On account of the luck of accomo dation she might possibly be oucezed out at the last minute, al though the representative of the island committee is doing his bent in t.n Francisco. George Schroth. who was sen here in th national mile and who later swam i he ten-mile, will also go to th isiands to contest. Schroth finishe fourth in the Golden Gate swim las Sunday. Use !

The house of bishops of the Protestant Episco pal church in America, the triennlel general convention of which Is meet ing here, today combined the mis sionary districts of Oklahoma and eastern Oklahoma under Bishop Theo dore P. Thurston of the latter and transferred Bishop Frank Touret of western Colorado to the missionary district of Idaho. Concurrence of th house of deputies is necessay to mak these changes effective. Despite opposition or conaerva lives, the majority of the amend menu revising the morning and even ing services will ue adopted in the convention, it was stated today. Vot ing on the amendments began this morning in the house of deputies, the first half doxen proposed being adopted almost unanimously. The general tendency of these amendments is to give more latitude in the use of the prayer book and to permit the use of a shortened service. The completely revised prayer booic cannot become operative until after the next general convention because mny of the proposed changes will be considered in this convention for toe fiist time. These include the prcposed revision of the marriage and burial services and the communion service. The report on the Seamen's Instl tue of America presented this morn ing atks a budget of $1. 210.000 of the nation-wide campaign fund for the next three years for extending its work at Atlantic, Pacific and Great Lakes porta. Although the Shriners of Portland went into the affray with much enthusiasm yesterday as each team had received a telegram from Chair man J. L. Etherldcre. the net results of the two days' canvass for funds for entertaining the Imperial Coun cil next June was said to be far be hind the figure that the chairman had expected to reach. At the rate Portlanders are re sponding it will require several days i to obtain the total fund necessary to put on a show worthy the place and character of the visitors. The total last night only seemed to whet the earnestness of the workers who are trying to Impress Portland merchants with the importance of the world convention that will bring ap proximately 100.000 visitors here next June.

Chair man Etherldge pointed to the official figures from Seattle in 1915 when more than 12. 000,000 of new money cleared through the banks . during Shrine week. At Indianapolis last June the bank clearances showed that more than f-'.6o0,000 was left there by the Shrine, and it was not pre tended that the Indiana meeting will in any way compare with that to be held at Portland. reported in a Capetown dispatch to the Daily Telegraph: All laws of the imperial parliament affecting South Africa to be declared null and voTU. as the union of legislature alone has the right to legislate for South Africa: the union Jack to be supplanted by a separate union flag; the union to send its own ambassador to foreign coun tries, where desirable: the govetJior general to be nominated by the union government: South Africa no longer to use Eng lish coinage or the coinage system: the king's veto to be exercised only In the same manner as in the United Kingdom: the stationing of British troops within the union to be pro hibited; no union m in ister to partici pate in the proceedings, of the im perial cabinet; the 'union to have ex clusive control of its forearm policy.

Orders were today received by the officers in charge of the army air plane forest patrol base in Eugene to pack up and ship everything to Mather field, Sacramento, except the equipment for the carrier pigeon serv- ce. which will be left here all winter and will be used in the service next ummer. All officers and men. except Lieu- t-nant r. K. Boeder and three me- hanics, have been ordered to pro ceed to Sacramento and they will eave with the four remaining De- Havtland planes as soon as the other equipment is packed up and shipped by rail. lieutenant Boeder will have harge of the carrier pigeons which he will train here during the winter. 9150,000 Is Required. Chairman Etheridge said that there would be no question of raising the money. "It will take $130,000 to do this job, but it will be the best investment Portland ever made. Our citizens ought not to wait until our can vassers call upon them, but ought to send in their checks to 802 Gasco building, made payable to Dean Vin cent, treasurer." he said "It should be remembered that be fore Al Kader representatives went after this convention a canvass was made of this city and every mer chant and manufacturer said he thought It a good thing, and he prom ised to do his part. We got the con vention. The time is now here to finance it. Nobody in Portland is to blame because materials and labor cost so much more than they did when the movement was started." Eric V. Hauser and Jerry Bronaugh, the latter being the grand master of Masons in this state, were the lead ing team in yesterday's canvass. Potentate W. J. Hofmann last night expressed the hope that at least 300 members of Al Kader temple would volunteer for work on -Monday morning. DOUGLAS, Ariz.. Sept. 16. Ameri cans , were not molested, but Mexi cans were literally "stripped to the shoestrings" by- the Yaqui Indians who recently raided the mining c-imp at San Nicolas. Sonora. 140 miles Bouthwest of Douglas. Food was takeu from the Mexican miners' cabins and even their clothing was seized, according to -Leo G. Cloud, managing director of the mining properties, who has arrived here. Tho Indians were led by two men with skins as white as any Ameri cans. Mexicans said they were Moro Indians. Members of the band were poorly clothed, some having r.o covering about the waist- All were armed, some. with modern high-powered rifles nnl others with older, cruder weapons. There were no Mexicans in the party. The efforts of Mrs. Carl' Knudson, who had charge' of the commissary, alcne kept the camp from being left altogether without provisions. After the commissary was looted of J1400 in gold and practically all its goods, Mrs. Knudson pleaded with the lead er for food, saying that it would be strange for a great chief to leave the camp starving. The chief turned back two sacks of flaur. When Mrs. Vetch, wife of the Amer ican mill superintendent, became hys terical with fright during the raid, the Indians asked her husband to re main with her until they had left and assure her she would not be harmed. . However, the Mexicans were rou-rh-ly treated and nearly everything thev possessed which might be carried aw;iy was taken. The raid uoon San Nicolas ' --.vas rotable fcr the reason, that this was the first time that Yaquis have raid ed that section of the Moctezuma dis trict. although tr.bal tradition claims it as part of the Yaqui possessions.

JAPAN TO KEEP PROMISE - So Says Jap Baron and Peace Con ference Adviser in Tacoma. PAHIS. Thursday. Oct. 9. Polish statesmen report that with the ap proach of winter Poland's army of more than a half million men is in a sad plight. Polish troops, it is de clared. are successfully opposing Rus elan bolshevlsm along an irregular front more than 400 miles long, ex tending from Dvinsk in the north to point on the west hank of the Dnieper river about 50 miles south of Honel. The poorly clad Polish army, it is declared, is much tempted by offers of peace constantly made by the bol shevik government at Moscow. Polish troops, it is said, prefer any- hing to standing still and many leaders are clamoring foV orders to march on Moscow. Peace conference officials, however, do not approve of such an enterprise, which they say would be far more hazardous than the Poles Imagine. Prime Minister Padereweki and other Polish leaders declare that, while the Poles willingly acceded to the peace conference request to push back the bolshevikl and protect Eu rope against their inroads, they now are much puzzled to know how they can face winter In their ptsent predicament. operations, S.
