TITE MOENIXG OREGOXIAX, TIITJTISDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1923 HOUSE CANDIDATES MUSTLISTEXPEFiSE Law Confusing Regarding . Senatorial Aspirants. FILINGS NOW BEING MADE Senator France of Maryland, Re ports Primary Expenditures Totaled $30,795. "WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. 1. While less than one-half of the can-, didates for the senate have filed campaign expense statements, ac cording to the count made today oy clerks, candidates for the house are till sending their reports at the rate of almost 200 a day. In the midst of the confusion as to pro visions of the law, the one fact that stands out clearly is that house can didates must file, now and after the election. The view was expressed by some senate officials that many candi dates for that branch might accept the Interpretation of the supreme court decision In the Newberry case by Attorney-General Daugh--erty that they were not required to file. In a letter last year to Rep resentative Luce, republican, Massa chusetts, the attorney-general, an swering a specific inquiry as to the effect of the Newberry decision, said: "As United States senators are not now elected by legislatures of the states as contemplated in the act, It is my opinion that this fact. In connection with the holding in the Newberry decision, makes it unnecessary for a candidate for United States senator to file any statement whatever In connection with his nomination- or election." House Candidates Affected, Mr. Daugherty contended that the only provision of the election law now in force and effect is the one which requires such statement to be filed In connection with the election of candidates for the house. Most of the reports on file with the senate have not been brought up to date, many relating to pri mary expenses. Senator France, re publican, Maryland, reported that In his primary fight his expendi tures were $30,795, with contribu tions of $31,000. Royal W. France, his brother, headed the list of con tributors with $15,000. Senator Townsend, republican, Michigan, reported that his election expenses were $700. After the pri mary Senator Townsend filed a re port showing the expenditure of $30,729 for his nomination fight by "the Townsend-for-Senator club." Senator Ashhurst, democrat, Ari zona, received a contribution of $100 from the brotherhood of railway firemen. He spent $17. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts spent $3870, all of which went to republican clubs in his state, while "William A. Gaston, his democratic opponent, spent $1216 in the pri mary and $4113 in the general elec tion fight. , Other Reports Listed. Some of the other reports show: Lynn J. Frazier, North Dakota (primary), $349; Senator King, Utah, on September 19, contributions $1679, expenditures same; Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, $5412; Carl W. Riddick, republican, Montana, $510; Earle B. Mayfield, Texas, $15.50. Senator La Follette, Wisconsin received $6418 and spent $5974, while Senator Kendrick reported the expenditure of $1418 In Wyoming. A final accounting by candidates after the election will give the total amount of their expenditures, all statements now on file not having been brought up to date. The list with the senate clerk also includes & number of -candidates who -were defeated In the primaries in various etates. Some states require a filing separately from those sent here.

The princess' gown is described as being of mauve chiffon and satin, lavishly decorated with rhinestones and steel beads. Mauve was chosen by the ex-kaiser because this color was always worn by the late Em press Augusta at court functions. It is recalled here that the wedding text selected by William was also used when he married Augusta. The text is: "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." It is remarked that Sunday's rites will, in their severe simplicity, be Jn direct contrast to William's first wedding, which was attended with unparalleled pomp. ITALIAN ENVOY ' RESIGNS 1 Continued From First Page.) gathered in Rome and who took part in yesterday's celebration were out of the city by this morning. All night trains carried the legions to their homes throughout Italy. At all the railway stations in the chief cities the fascisti were met by the heads of the local fascisti, who had been previously instructed by the fascisti supreme command to in struct all to go peacefully to their homes and avoid disorder. The excitement and enthusiasm marking the rise of the fascisti to power and the inauguration of the Mussolini government gave place today to earnest work by Premier Mussolini and his advisers in be ginning the task of re-establishing peace and order throughout Italy. Leaders Called Together. Premier Mussolini worked vir tually the entire night giving in structions to this end and called : together in his office today the leaders of the fascisti, together with the head of the police department, the commanders of the various army corps and the commanders of the carabineers and royal guards the very men who up to 48 hours ago had been charged with the repression of the fascisti. The premier, who had by his side General Del Bono, the supreme chief of the fascisti troops, listened carefully to the opinions' and advice of everyone and then announced his decisions; The government of the municipal ity of Fiume sent an enthusiastic telegram of congratulation of Sig ner Mussolini today, tendering him the warmest greetings from Fiume, "Immovable in its Italian faith," and expressing the wish for the "union of Fiume with the mother country to which it looks for safety." Unique Army Promised. Every hour brings fresh action on the part of Premier Mussolini to prove his firm intention of re storing discipline in all the ranks. Replying to congratulations re ceived from the press organizations, the premier declared today that when the present exceptional con ditions are ended he intends to "safeguard the liberty of the press, on condition that the press proves worthy of liberty. "Liberty," he added, "is not only a right, but a duty." To General Diaz, said to have ac cepted the portfolio of war in order to grlve Italy one army, Signor Mus solini declared: "We will give Italy a unique army, as we have carried out a unique revolution. Indeed, throughout the ages there never was a revolution like ours, in which all public services continued, commerce was carried on, and clerks, workmen and peasants fulfilled their labors." "With he cafes, wine shops and beer gardens running full swing, throughout yesterday, there was noticeable absence of drunkenness. When the great procession dispersed the fascisti scattered through the city, but even with the freedom of the city, not an arrest was made for that cause. Minister of Industry Rossi, in agreement with the minister of the treasury, has taken steps for the im mediate reopening of the bourse, it was semi-off icially announced to day.
