UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu
gene, Nov. 1. (Special.) Henrietta
Lawrence of Portland, a student at
the University of Oregon, received
a fractured skull when an automo
bile in which she was riding with
three other Portland university stu
dents, plunged over a bridge near
Springfield, Or., late yesterday. The
other occupants were not injured.
The driver of the stucent car said
he was blinded by thu headlights of
the passing- autoist who did not stop.
Asteria Norton. Curtis Phillips,
driver, and Morgan Staton were tne
other occupants of tne student car.
The condition of Miss Lawrence is
not considered critical. She regained
consciousness this morning.
The party had been up the Mc
Kenzie river on a picnic and were on
their way home. As they were crossing-
a bridge the blinding headlights
of an approaching car forced them
to stop.
The car was forced over the bridge
and the fall stopped by a stump. The
occupants were thrown out on the
ground ten feet below. The car In
which the students were riding was
running in low gear as the high gear
had been stripped.
RECRUITS FLOCK TO ARMY
Enlistments During October Break
All Peace-Time Records.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. Recruits
for the regular army continue to
flock at record-breaking rates, Adjutant-General
Harris' office an
nounced tonight, and 17,625 enlist
ments accepted during October broke
all peace-time records for a month.
A notable matter in connection
with the record, it was said, was the
fact that 66 per cent of the month's
enlistments were for the full three
year period.
The total strength of the army is
now 208,781 officers and men, of
whom 158,466 are in the United
States.

Agents Alleged to Be Employed by
Wealthy Men to Bring Sup
plies From Canada.
SPOKAXE, Wash., Nov. 1. (Spe
cial.) Charges that Spokane harbors
a "million - dollar booze ring of
wealthy men who hire agents to carry
whisky across the Canadian line to
Spokane" have been mad by Charles
Rykert, Canadian customs officer at
Rykerfs customs station, just across
the Canadian border from Port Hill,
Idaho. -
There is no American customs of
ficer at that point, no federal pro
hibition agent and no evidence of a
sheriff or deputy. Port Hill is ' as
open a gateway as unguarded high
ways and a hundred unwatched trails
over the border can make it.
"A large portion of the liquor traf
fic across the line here is financed
by a ring of Spokane millionaires,
wno send their agents to British Co
lumbia for the liquor," declared Ry
kert. "Their men do not think any
more of losing a $5000 or $6000 car
than you and I d)o of losing a nickel.
Traffic la Estimated.
"When, an agent loses his machine
while trying to carry 20 or more cases
of liquor into the states, the next
time he comes he may have a larger
and finer car than he had before."
-. Mr. Rykert declared that as many
as six large expensive machines load
ed with liquor cross the border to
ward Spokane in one night. Each
automobile cargo of whisky costs ap
proximately $1400 in British Columbia
and is sold in this country by the
bottle for a total of $4800, figuring
it at $20 a quart. The six machines
carry, it was estimated, liquor to
sell in Spokane for about $28,800.
Figuring that an average number
of six cars daily owned by the al
leged Spokane ring of wealthy boot
leggers cross the line every night
headed for Spokane, declared the Ca
nadian customs officer, the traffic
totals $864,000 per month, about $600,
000 of this being profit.
Hiding Places In Woods Charjgrd.
"And this is not all that crosses
the line," declared Rykert. "There
are hundreds or trails through the
woods on both sides of Port Hill
where bootleggers hide their liquor,
check out through the customs office,
cross the line and then return to the
hiding place for th-e whisky."
Mr. Rykert declared that it Is not
his dnty, especially, to see that no
liquor gets into the United States. He
is there, he said, to see that people
who enter Canada for touring pur
poses do not leave with Canadian
goods.
