MUDANIA SESSION ADJOURNS Time Given Turks to Refer v Allied Demands. DESTROYER AT SHILEH English Warrior, on Refusal of Kenialists to Withdraw, De J cities to Stay, Too. ts Id ' CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 9. (By the Associated Press.) The allied generals, Haring-ton, Mombelli and Charpy, returned to Constantinople late tonight. The Mudania ponfer- ence has been adjourned to permit the Kemalists to refer the allied demands to the Angora assembly. The Turkish nationalist troops yesterday resumed their advance in the Dardanelles area in the direc tion of Chanak, the British strong hold, according to a Mudania dis patch to the local newspapers. It was reported that Turkish irregulars had appeared yesterday a short distance from Beikos. Beikos is a suburb of Constantinople, eight miles above the American naval anchorage. The British began en trenching around Beikos. Bandits Enter Villages. Turkish irregulars and small bands of guerrillas and bandits which form the advance guard of a Turk ish army have appeared in small villages east of Constantinople. These villages include Tashkeu psu, Tavshanjik, Omarli, Agfa and Armulli, all within the suburban limits of Constantinople, on the Asiatic side. The British yesterday made final preparations for defense, blowing up bridges and cross-roads. Destroyer at Shlleh. A British destroyer anchored Sun day at Shileh, on the Black sea coast. The commander went ashore, met the nationalist officer there and requested him to withdraw his forces. The Turk replied that he had orders to remain, whereupon the British commander declared he would also remain. Navigation in the Bosphorus, which was suspended by the Brit ish Sunday as a result of the Turk ish incursions into the neutral zone, was re-established today. liOXDOX STILL WAITS NEWS Council Has Little to Do but Hear Curzon Report. LONDON. Oct. 9. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The government still is awaiting news from the Mudania conference and the result of the orders Kemal Pasha was reported to have given for the re tirement of the Turkish troops from the neutral zones or to such new lines in those zones as may be agreed upon. The tabinet council today had little to do beyond hearing a re port of Lord Curzon's mission to Paris and discussing purely pro visional arrangements for a peace conference, should the Mudania meeting prove successful. It is understood that some of the delay at Mudania arose through cer tain differences in wording or other tndefiniteness in the instructions conveyed to the British and French delegates. The national council representing the 'hole labor party met today to consider the new eastern situation and passed a resolution expressing lack of confidence in the govern ment's policy and demanding the immediate resignation of the gov ernment and the election of a new parliament. KEMALISTS LESS CONFIDENT Complete VnanUnity Among Allies Recognized by Turks. MUDANIA. Oct. 9. (By the Asso ciated Press.) There was distinctly less confidence in the Kemalist camp here today when it became thor oughly understood that there is now complete unanimity among the al lies. The pllng for dividing the al lies having failed, it was realized thai Kemal Pasha had the world arrayed against him. The Greek delegates also came Into light with the three allied pow ers, Colonel Mazarakis informing General Harington that Greece would "conform to whatever meas ures the allied generals recommend." lie also assured the commander-in-chief that in case of necessity, "the whole Greek army in Thrace will rally to the support of Great Britain." Mustapha Kemal Pasha keeps in continual touch with his delegates at Mudania over a long distance telephone line, recently installed 30C miles to Angora. Ismet Pasha per sonally speaks with his chief several times daily reporting to him on the progress of the negotiations and re ceiving instructions as to the exact procedure to bg followed. Eastern Lines Are Blamed In Part for Condition, "as They Do Not Return Western Equipment. OLTMPIA, Wash., Oct. 9. (Spe cial.) Less than 15 per cent of the number of freight cars ordered for territory Tvest of the Montana-Idaho line are available, with no improve ment for the shortage in sight, E. V. Kuykendall, director of the depart ment of public works, announced to day. Reports of the railway depart ment show 3358 cars ordered for the territory andV only 430 available. Cars which will be made available within the next few days total only 1911, which will be needed to supply the orders which will be placed dur ing that period. Nor is any relief promised from tha eastern end, where O. O. Calder, traffic expert of the department, is working for equipment to move westward. Additional refrigerator cars have been ordered to help in moving the fruit crop. The Milwaukee and Great North ern roads have just filed an export grain rate, with the Northern Pa cific preparing to file the same rate within a few days, which will tend to bring Montana wheat to Seattle and Tacoma for export, making many more box cars available for eastern loading, Mr. . Kuykendall said. The railroads assign some of the reasons for the shortage on the western coast to the large move ments of freight through the Pan ama canal and the failure of ex treme eastern roads to return, empty cars. It is said that for every five cars sent east only one is returned to the western lines. The Northern Pacific today em bargoed the. shipment of potatoes from the Yakima valley in refriger ator cars and has no cars of other classes available to move the crop. WEATHER MAN IS SAVED "Probably" Rain Forecasts Fail for Last Few Days. But for that little qualifying word "probably" the United States weather bureau would have been a false prophet the last few days. It "probably" rained on Friday. On Saturday the forecast was "probably" rain. The same for Sun day and Monday. But it did not "probably" rain, so the prophets were saved and not without honor. Be that as it may, autumn is to be late, but sure, said District Fore caster Wells, who returned yester day from a three weeks' inspection trip through eastern Oregon. Yes, winter is coming, he said. surely and not probably, although the forecast for today .called for "probably" rain. LIQUOR ON SHIP SEIZED Whisky Taken From Freighter Upon Arrival From Smyrna.

REGISTRATION IS 112,873 New Record lor Multnomah County Established. The unofficial total of registra tion in Multnomah county as checked yesterday in the of ice of County Clerk Beveridge was 112,873. This is a new record and bears out pre dictions of last week that the total would reach 112,000.

SUPREME COURT DECIDES Mandate to Put Edict in Ef fect Is Next Step. DOCKET IS CLEARED AH Motions for Reconsideration of Cases Dismissed; Iron and Anthracite Hearing Set. WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 9. The supreme court today denied a re hearing of the case brought by the United States, in which It directed the Southern Pacific company to di vorce itself of ownership and con trol over the Central Pacific rail road. The court at its last term rendered an opinion which reversed the United States district court for Utah and held that the ownership and control of the Central Pacific by the Southern Pacific was in vio lation of the Shernan anti-trust act on the ground that the two systems were competing under the law. The decision resulted In numbers of petitions being presented to con gress by commercial and other or ganizations, some urging and others opposing the enforcement of the de cision. The refusal to reopen the case will result in the issuance of a mandate to the district court in Utah to give effect to the decision. Petition Sent Congress. After -the decision of the court last June a number of petitions were presented to congress from commercial and other organizations discussing the probable effect of the decision. Some urged and others opposed its enforcement, but the supreme court, in refusing today to reopen the case, brought the pro tracted litigation to its last stages, and a mandate will now . issuo under which the United States dis trict court for Utah will proceed to give effect to the decision. Although no opinions were deliv ered by the supreme court today, it cleared its docket of aU motions for rehearings which had accu mulated during the summer recess and advanced for argument the Pennsylvania anthracite and the Minnesota iron tax, the New York telephone and a number of other important cases, besides issuing orders in other cases. Decisions Made Flna1. By denying rehearing in tne cases decided during the closing days last term the court made final its deci sions in such important litigation as the Southern Pacific, the Coro nado coal, the emergency fleet cor poration, baseball and the Laramie river irrigation project cases, the latter of vital importance as laying down a governmental policy to be observed in the diversion of water (Concluded on Page a.

The bride of ex-Emperor William, the princess of Reuss, will assume the title "Queen Wilhelmina of Prussia," according to an announcement today during a preliminary reception to the bride and bridegroom-to-be at the castle here. The ex-kaiser was attired in his favorite uniform of a high admiral of the fleet with his breast covered with a multitude of pre-war decora tions and his left sleeve showing the mourning band. The ex-ruler showed many cour tesies to the guests. He seemed to be in high good humor, entertaining the company with many anecdotes. "I shall soon be the happiest man in the world," he said and then added gaily: "No longer will I be called the solitary exile of Doorn." The princess of Reuss appeared equally happy. The only member of the Hohen zollern family present was the ex emperor's fourth son, August Wil helm, although the ceremonial was attended by a large number of German professors, ex-generals, court officials, members of the nobility and their wives, including Count von Moltke, together with several Dutch professors and many members of the Dutch nobility. The castle was adorned with garlands of flowers, . which are arriving dally, the gifts of admirers and friends of the ex-emperor in many parts of the world. The registry book was signed byi8 now Uving wU an uncIe ln hundreds of visitors. According to the present arrange ments, the marriage ceremony on November 6 will be held in the chapel of the castle.

Hickok won second place in the Oregon meet at Newberg last spring. Three-Hour Effort of Doctors to Resuscitate Victim Fails and Death Comes at Hospital. A mad race with death a three hour battle at the finish, and then death won and claimed Dr. Con stance J. Klecan, well-known woman physician, who, tiring of life yester day afternoon, drained the contents of a small phial of morphine. At about the time the unfortunate physician was taking the fatal po tion. Dr. Marie Equi, three blocks down the street, was opening a sui cide letter which Dr. Klecan had written earlier in. the day. Dr. Equi read the note, bolted down the stairs, hailed a passing autoist and drove to- the Stevens building, where Dr. Klecan had her offices. The physician lay on her office couch, unconscious and dying. Dr. Eoul summoned other doctors. And for three full hours the medical men and women battled with death to save their fellow-practlUoner. Death won when Xhey attempted to send the victim to a hospital. Dr. Klecan passed away as the ambulance, bear ing her, backed up to the entrance of Emanuel hospital. Dr. Klecan was distinguished scholar, physician and pathologist. A Pole by birth, she had attended the leading medical schools of Vien na and the famous Virchow clinic, had studied at Johns Hopkins uni versity In this country and had spe cialized in pathology and bacteriol ogy. She was well known in-Portland's medical circles, both as a gen eral pract;tioner and as a patholo gist. Melancholia and depression, ac centuated by loneliness and the de- o -,n uaa hAc vmmce ri u 11 ch ?ir who Cracow, were thought to have been the causes of the physician's suicide. Dr. Klecan had given evidences of her desire to end her life on several previous occasions. Friends tfissuad ed her and succeeded in cheering her up, temporarily. Yesterday at about 2o'clock Dr. Equi received her afternoon mail in her offices in the Lafayette build ing. Among the letters was an envelope bearing Dr. Klecan's ad dress. As the other physician had been engaged in doing some lab oratory work for a patient of Dr. Equi's, the latter thought that the letter was an ordinary business one. But on a second thought she dropped her work and opened it. It read: "Dear Marie: 1 am worn out and so am going on a long, long rest. Take, good care of Mrs. W . You can have my books. Goodbye." Dr. Equi did not wait to put on a hat or coat. As she ran out of her office she saw an acquaintance driving up Washington street in an automobile. The physician darted through the traffic, climbed on the side of the car and requested the driver to hurry Jto the Stevens building. The man accompanied her to the 12th floor. As they "could not open the door, the autoist clambered up and looked over the transom. Dr. Klecan was on the couch, uncon scious. Then followed the three-hour bat tle with death. A number of Ste vens building physicians took part. Dr. Earl Smith, county coroner, was called. With Dr. Ben Wade and Dr. Equi he. led the fight. Emetics, antidotes, hot coffee, strychnine in jections and artificial respiration were tried. When the woman's pulse returned the medical worker? (Concluded on Page 4, Column 2.) BEING A BOOTLEGGER." Heels Replacing Heads, Declares Officer. NORTHWEST SESSION OPENS Legislation to Make High . ways Safe Studied. AUTO THEFTS PROBLEM Expertsof Six States and Prov ince in Conference to Plan Vniform Traffic Laws. A multiplicity of problems Inci dent to the amazing growth and de velopment of the horseless age were discussed yesterday at the opening of the second binennlal conference of motor vehicle administrative of ficers and traffic officers of the states of California, Oregon. Wash ington, Idaho, Montana, Utah and the province of British Columbia in the Multnomah hotel. The object of the conference, which was welcomed by Governor Olcott and is beini; presided over by Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state for Oregon, Is to brlrg about co-operation between states and countries in establishing uniform laws and to interchange views and opinions on how best to preserve highways, make them safe for all kinds of traffic, reduce to a minimum the number of auto thefts and obtain the best thought on how to legis late for the benefit of the public. Heels, Not Heads, Used. "Probably the most serious prob lem we have to contend with is hu man nature," said L. D. McArdle, director of the department of ef ficiency of the state of Washington. "The proverbial Maud thinks with her heels too many human Mauds, if they think at all, think the same way. s "Of those using the highways al together too few exercise their heads and realize the rights that owners have. And while on this subject, the thoughtless or finan cially irresponsible driver is the cfause of many serious accidents that entail loss of life and property damage. This is one of our most vital problems how can we make drivers having no financial re sponsibility realize that damage caused by them must be paid by them? Were the state responsible for every preventable accident In tensive thought would be applied to seek a solution. We feel that the driver of every car, domestic and foreign alike, operating on the highways of the state, should be made responsible for the damage caused by' him; then a more care ful lot of operators might be ex pected. There is, at" this time, a movement in progress to provide state Indemnity for loss of life and property damage by traffic acci dents. rroKrrn Is Made. Fred J. Dibble, director of licenses, of the state or Washington, con tributed an interesting paper He recounted some of the forward steps that his state has taken to reduce traffic accidents. "The report of the Washington highway patrol to August 1," said Director Dibble, "over a few months since Its creation, shows that 3039 arrests were made and minor viola tion nutlces given to 1847, besides the work of recovering stolen cars, warnings at grade crossings, special investigations and the weighing of some 400 trucks for the purpose of protecting the highways. "We have today splendid co operation all along the line toward the one object the elimination from the highway of drivers guilty of In toxication, carelessness or delib erate recklessness and their punish ment. The motor vehicle operator In our state realizes today that un less he complies with the raw he will lose bis right to operate on the roads." Non-Rcaldent Ureases Free. California issues non-resident li censes free of charge, Charles J. Chenu, chief of the division of mo tor rehicles at Sacramento, told the conference. "We issued 30.000 such licenses this year," said Mr. Chenu, "the cost to the state being about 13 cents apiece. The license entitles each tourist to operate for a period of 90 days within the state. Before a motorist can obtain such a license he must satisfy our officials that he is the owner of the car. "Since this law has been ln opera tion we have been instrumental in the recovery of millions of dollars' worth of stolen motor vehicles. As many as II or 20 cars a day have been held by our division in a single day at Los Angeles, awaiting iden tification. Recoveries Arc Reaaarkable. "This city seems to be the mecca of motor vehicle thieves. Thanks to our co-operation, however, the! number of recoveries of stolen ve-j hides has been remarkable. It Is i estimated by the insurance under- j writers' bureau that 90 per cent of; such stolen vehicles are returned to their rightful owners."
