VENIZELOS' ADVICE TAKEN Eastern Thrace Is Considered Lost to Nation; Store Time i to Evacuate Is Wanted. - MUDANIA, Oct. S. (By the As sociated Press.) The allies pre sented a united front on their re . turn to Mudania at 10 o'clock to night and the feeling of all three delegations was that Ismet Pasha would be forced to yield. The dele gations expressed optimism regard ins the outcome, contending there was little doubt that the Turks would accept the allied demands, leaving the question of the limita tion of the Turkish gendarmeries as a possibility of friction. ATHENS, Oct. 8. (By the Associ ated Press.) The Greek i;overn ment has instructed its delegates at the Mudania conference to accept decisions which may be unanimously agreed upon by the allied repre sentatives. This action was taken following the receipt of advices from ex- Premier Venizelos that eastern Thrace must be considered as lost to Greece. Greece will endeavor to obtain two months' time to permit of the evacuation of her army, and the Greek civilian population, which is estimated to aggregate 250,000. It is probable that another 300,000 Greeks and Armenians will leave Constantinople for Greece, which will make more crushing the prob lem of the country, which is al ready burdened with refugees. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 8. (By the Associated Press.) A dispatch from Athens to the local newspaper Kirix today said'the Greek govern ment had instructed General Maza rakis to sign the Mudania armistice convention, thereby agreeing to the evacuation of eastern Thrace. THRACE ENTRY PREPARED Turk Concentration of Troops in Ism Id Area Explained. BV HENRY WALKS. (Chitfujfo Tribune Foreijrn News Service. Copvrlnht. 19:;-, by the Chicaco Tribune.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 8. The Turkish concentration of troops in the Ismid region, which is disquiet ing to the British because several detachments have crossed the neu tral zone toward Constantinople, is merely in preparation to send an army into Thrace and drive out the Greeks if Athens refuses to evacu ate. "Some elements crossed the de marcation line, it is true, but they are only seeking barracks. We are massing men, ready to pass into Thrace and execute the Paris agree ment, which grants us the Marlt.a (rontier," said a nationalist staff of ficer today. The Turks were more than fifty miles 'from the Bosphorus, British airplanes reported. An inspection of the main British line beyond Haidar Pasha on the' Asiatic side revealed powerful entrenchments, a maze of barbed wire, machine gun nests and battery positions, impregnable to any enemy, unless they concentrated artillery fire on the battery, with a long preliminary bombardment. Mudania has received favorably the Paris decisions regarding the nationalists' occupation of Thrace militarily. General Harington and Ismet Pasha today decided to refer the dates for the evacuation of Chanak and Constantinople to the peace conference. It is believed that Genera! Harington will confer with Mustapha Kemal Pasha today, Ke ma! being at Brusa, which is a couple of hours from Mudania. Constantinople continues to seeth with rumors as the conference delay Is prolonged. It was reported tonight that Turkish cavalry had crossed the neutral xone at Ismid and raided the British. Investigation revealed that mounted Turkish custom offi cials were pursuing tobacco smug glers. The British have stopped the daily passenger trains at the neutral line instead of allowing it to proceed to Ismid.. There are wild rumors over cutting communications, but it has been explained that the nationalists retain the rolling stock passing their side for operation to the Ana tolian railways, so the allies are keeping a few cars and locomotives in their sector. Tonight the British seized all arms in Constantinople, the evacua tion of women and children aboard -transports continues. TJte Greek concentration in Thrace continues and men up to 40 years of age have been called up for mobilization. AGREEMENT CHANGED SOME Slight Amendments Are Reported Made to Paris Arrangement.

(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) VALPARAISO, Ind., Oct. S. Mrs. Harriet Hargot of Chicago and six of her seven children were killed instantly today on a railroad cross ing near here, when a Pennsylvania train crashed into their stalled auto mobile In which they were sitting. The husband, Rene Hargot, his son Rene Jr., and a friend named Mis houlam were trying frantically to push the stalled car from the tracks. The children killed. Irene, Suzanne Marguerite. Raymond, Richard, and Edmund, ranged in years from 2 to 16. Rene Jr. narrowly escaped death in his efforts to save his mother, brothers and sisters. Hargot has been employed in Chi cago as an automobile mechanic. De siring to get his family out of the congested district of Chicago, he re cently rented a small farm near Plymouth, Indiana. Early Sunday morning Hargot and his friend Mis- houlam loaded Hargot's household goods on a truck and started for Plymouth. With the truck leading the way, the Hargots and Mishou- lam crowded into an old automobile that Hargot had "tuned up" for the trip to the new home. No trouble was experienced until the car started across the railroad tracks just outside of Wheeler. Then the engine died with the auto mobile squarely in the track. It was then, according to the story of Rene Jr. that the approaching flyer was discovered. There was Just time to permit the occupants of the front seat to leap out and make an effort to push the car from the tracks. When they had pushed it until the rear wheels were between the rails they were forced to abandon their task and leap to safety. The car and Its seven remaining passen gers were picked up by the pilot of the engine and carried for more than a quarter of a mile. Hargot Sr., was taken by the coroner to Valparaiso, but was hysterical and unable to make a statement. PEKIN RULERS WORRIED New Revolts Feared on Part of Defeated Leaders. PEKIN, Oct. -8. (By the Associ ated Press.) General Hsu Shu-Chen, known as "Little Hsu," avowed mili tarist and one of the leaders of the Anfu club, which was broken up some time ago by Wu Peie-Fu and other popular leaders has estab lished an independent military gov ernment at Yenping, province of Fukien, and is causing the Pekin administration no little uneasiness. There is a distinct impression in official circles here that the devel opments in Fukien mark the begin ning of new disturbances to be con ducted jointly by the Anfuites, or so-called pro-Japanese party headed by ex-Premier General Tuan Chi- Jui, the adherents of Sun Yat-Sen, deposed president of South China, and Chang Tso-Lin, ruler of Man churia. LIMESTONE BOOM ON Gold Hill to Ship 1000 Tons of Product to Salem. GOLD HILL, Or., Oct. 8. (Spe cial.) The re-opening of the Kanes Creek limestone quarry, which has been closed since the early days of the war, is of considerable, impor tance to Gold Hill as a limestone center. C. W. Courtney formerly superin tendent of the state plant here at Gold Hill, has begun the shipment of 1000 tons of limestone from the Kanes Creek quarry to the Oregon Pulp & Paper company at Salem. Kxtensive inclines and tramways for loading the limestone at Gold Hill have been erected. Other large shipments will follow. The quarry is three miles from Gold Hill and auto trucks will be used for trans portation. HOPS NEARLY ALL SOLD Most of Lane County Crop of 6000 Bales in Warehouse. KUGENE, Or., Oct. 8. (Special.) All but about 200 bales of this year's hops in Lane county have been sold, according to Frauk Heyer, local buyer for T. A. Livesley & Co. of Salem. The Lane county yielded about 6000 bales this year, which is short of the average crop here, said Mr. Heyer. The sales were nearly all made at 9 and 10 cents a pound.

Republicans Not Likely to Lose Control. LARGE REDUCTION FORECAST Democrats' Main Hope Is to Elect Leaders. HOUSE RULE NOT WANTED No Share in Blame for Expected Chaotic Two Years Is De sired, Says Sullivan. BY MAyftK SULLIVAN. (Copyright. 1922, by New York Evening Post. Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON, 1). C, Oct. 8. Your correspondent starts tomorrow to survey the state of feelings in the various parts of the country as it affects the outcome of the elec tion ahead of us. It would be idle to pretend 'that the interest of this survey is iden tical with that of tae close and doubtful campaigns of some past years. It is only as to some indi vidual states and districts that the coming election will be close, tak ing the country as a whole. There is no conceivable possibility of the republicans losing control of the senate. It is conceivable, but very improbable, that the republicans should completely lose control of the lower house. Serious losses they will undoubtedly suffer, but not enough to deprive them of a major ity. Their present majority is 165. That will be reduced very greatly. It may be cut in half. It may be more than cut in half. Majority of 40 to SO Forecast. As things look from Washington today, subject to later information from the ground in various parts of the country, the probability is that the republican majority in the next house will be reduced to somewhere between 40 and 80. This is as much as the democrats really expect, al though, from considerations of party morals, they may refrain, from say ing so publicly. In fact the democrats don't want to win a majority of the lower house. From the standpoint of party strategy, looking to 1924, the judgment of their leaders is that it would be an embarrassment for them to have a majority in the house during the coming two years, and by reason of such a majority be held reEponsilbe, wholly or partially. for legislation and for conditions generally during the coming prob ably chaotic two -years. Strong; Leaders Wanted. What the democrats want to achieve, in this election is to put certain strong leaders in the house (Concluded on Page 3.

History repe . jteelf yesterday when it was a, em on at rated that a citizen who isliiO per cent for the people and wears no man's collar is ever up against the slanderous and malicious efforts of stealthy enemies to work him mischief. Just that hap pened to Andrew (Andy) Gump, can didate for congress, when it became known that some person, a-s yet un identified, started a rumor to the effect that this man of and for the plain folks had decided to withdraw from the race. "Not one single word of truth In it," was the prompt and unequivocal declaration of Colonel Bush, promi nent citizen and taxpayer of Bull Run,x who is managing the Gump campaign. "Mr. Gump is not even considering withdrawing, then?" was asked. "Not even that' replied the colo nel, warming up. "Do you not sense in that rumor a diabolical, deliberate attempt upon the part of the ene mies of the common people to con fuse the venters and cause them to cast their ballots for some one else November 7? Of course, It is Just that they seek. It is but one more of the dirty political tricks of con temptible; petty politicians to injure a 100 per cent candidate who wears no man's collar." "Are you willing to be quoted to that effect?" Colonel Bush was asked. "In the interests of Mr. Gump, I am, yes," he replied. "While neither he nor I crave publicity, neverthe less being in this fight, I shall have to put up with a great deal that neither of us likes; but we are in this thing to the finish. You can quote me unqualifiedly,- without equivocation or quibble, that An drew Gump, people's man as he is, will be true to the confidence placed' in him by his friends and will stick to the bitter end." So that's that. But now comes another political phase having to do with the lot of a candidate such as Mr. Gump. As usual, divers and sundry gents are sufficiently unpatriotic, materialistic and selfish to demand soft jobs in exchange for their support. Tha cropped out yesterday morning at an early hour when Joe Singer, ser geant -at-arms of the lower house of J the Oregon legislature, let the cat out by asking Colonel Bush a ques tion: "What does Mr. Gump propose to do for the boys who, being in a po sition to throw him a bunch of votes, do it?" "My boy, you are drawing peril ously near the corrupt practices line in asking , that question, " parried Colonel Bus-h, assuming an inde pendent attitude. -"Yes; but we would like to know," persisted Joe. "Have you no confidence or faith in Mr. Gump that he will do the right thing?" asked the colonel, reg istering a combination of cut-to-the-heart and curses-on-you. "Well, we want something defi nite," replied Joe. "There are plenty of candidates who are making all (Conclmifd on Pge 7. Column 3.) ONE OF THE SIGNS. Mr .NVTU 1 t, W ' " ' ' J WtEXV.J V4E.LL.

William Kainber, 24, of Aberdeen, was fatally shot this morning at South Bay, 14 miles south of here, while duck hunting w'th six companions, none of whom saw the accident. The party had stopped shooting and wer gather ing about their launch preparatory to, having breakfast when they heard a shot and saw Kainber fall, according to Walter Huotari, one of his companions. A gaping wound in his right aide had been torn by the charge from a pumpgun he had been using. He was taken to Westport life saving station, the crew of which brought him to a waiting ambulance here in their fast power boat, but he died on the way. It is the first hunting fatality of the season in the county. Coroner Austin said the first ex amination appeared to indicate that two charges had entered the body, but that he later decided that the one charge had been split by hitting a jacket containing a row of shells, which accounted for the two holes In the shirt underneath. No in quest vill be held if the stories of the six men appear to tally, he said. ARID LAND BILLS AIDED Representative Summers Sends Out Letters to Merchants. WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Oct. 8. (Special.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 8. (By the As sociated Press.) The New York Giants once more are the champions of the worlo. They reached that pinnacle of success for the second consecutive year in a furious uphill fight this afternoon that flung the Yankees to defeat, S to 3. and crushed a disgusted pitcher. 'Bullet Joe" Bush. It was tbt second successive time that the Yankees have bucked the Giants in a world's series and failed. This year they weflt down inglor lously without the solace of having captured even one of the five games that comprised the battle for the title. The best they could do was to tie the second game of the series. The Giants won the other four. Hoik Divided AKalnat Self. In all the annals of the game only two clubs ever triumphed in world's series In such a decisive fashion. In 1907 the Chicago Na tionals won four straight victories over the Detroit Americans after fighting a 12-inning first game tie Seven years later the Boston Brave? surprised the fans of the entire na tion by wrecking Connie Mack's su perb Athletics four games in a' row. The final downfall of the Yan kees was that of a house momen tarily divided; Miller Huggins the head of the household, which was then enjoying a 3-to-2 lead over the Giants, differing with his pitch er, Joe Bush, in his strategic pro gram for blocking the onslaught of the champions in the eighth inning. Bank Dfesmei Anary. Bush became angry, and before he could calm himself Long George Kelly had smacked one of his curves so hard and so far that one Giant raced across the plate with the run that tied the score and another Giant trotted in with the tally that beat them. The Yankees enjoyed the prospect of a victory for only 15 minutes. When they came to bat In the sev enth the score was deadlocked at 2 all. They made a run on Meu eel's scratch hit, Schang's sacrifice bunt, a wild pitch by Art Nehf, the Giants' southpaw, and a short sac rifice fly to center field from the bat of Everett Scott. The throw home of his fly almost caught Meu sel as he slid for the plate. It seemed the Yankees, barely had fqueezed out a victory. Claala KIIbk Out C'kalleaar. And then In the eighth, the cou rageous Giants flung out their chal lenge. Pipp, the Yanks first base man, halted them for a moment by stopping Bancroft's hard blow back of first base and leaping to the bag just in time to beat the runner. But the fighting Giants would not be denied a victory. Groh cut the diamond squarely in half with a single that ripped along the turf into centerfield. Friseh hit a liner that bounded to McMillan In center field, who juggled it, and the batter was credited with a two-bagger, while Groh went to third. Irish Meusel shot a roller to short, Scott hurling the ball home so swiftly that. Groh could not Safely reach the plate. He started to return to third but was run down by Schang. When the ball was thrown back to the box. Bush found himself in trouble. Frisch, the fastest runner on either team, stood perched on third base and Irish Meusel on sec ond. At the plate swinging his bat. lefthanded, stood Pep Young, who usually drops bis hits infield, loans; Permitted t Walk. At this moment, there popped into the mind of Miller Huggins the thought that the best way out of the difficulty would be to let Young walk to first, filling the bases, so that a force out would be facili tated. He was willing to take a chance that Kelly, who has been weak' in his recent batting, would continue to be weak. So he ordered Bush to walk Young. Later both Giants and Tfankee players said it was a splendid example of real in side basehsll strategy. The break iCoaciuded oa i'aae 2, Celuain 2.) Anlone Anderson, IIS William.
