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

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

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

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.

Eujrcne Station Gets Orders to Ship

EVGENE. Or.. Oct. 10. (Special.)
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

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

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.
