Forced to place the Wallula cut off on the state map as a primary road, or cause to be held up a num ber of important roads by the fed eral road officials, the Oregon high way commission "accepted the situa tion late yesterday afternoon. Fed eral officers practically held the gun on the highway commission, but following the surrender on the part of the latter, the rest of the programme was carried out quickly. After months of negotiations and conferences, the primary and sec ondary highway systems on which federal money can be spent in the future, were adopted, the signatures of R. A. Booth, John B. Yeon ana W. B. Barratt were attached and the map was started last night for Washington, D. C, to receive the O. K. of the secretary of the de partment of agriculture. The gov ernment was represented by Charles H. Purcell, district engineer of the United States bureau of public roads, and C McKissen, senior high way engineer. Forest Road System Separate. Once the secretary of agriculture gives his approval, the dual system, primary and secondary, is fixed definitely for years to come. There is, however, the forest road system, which is a separate matter, and also the. state highway system, but much of the latter is included in the fed eral system either primary or sec ondary. Adoption of the federal system is of importance to the entire state and to the adjoining states of Wash ington, Idaho and California, for th. federal system, the primary roads, are interstate in character, while the secondary system is inter county. Approval by the highway commission has cleared up a number of knotty problems and has enabled roads to receive federal aid which otherwise would have been left out. Wallula Cnt-oft Settled; Particular insistence was made by government representatives that the Wallula cut-off, long a bone of contention and controversy, be placed on the map. The state of Washington has adopted the cut-off on its primary system and the fed eral government has not only ap proved of Washington's act but has urged steadily that Oregon do like wise. Several highways were held up until the Oregon road builders surrendered and their continued re sistance would have interfered with advance of the work in several places. The primary road system con tains 1953 miles. The primary roads are the Columbia river highway and old Oregon trail, the Wallula cut off, the Pacific highway on the east side, the Roosevelt highway and the connection between Albany and Corvallis. Acceptance of this connecting link, however, is de pendent on Benton county doing the grading and Linn county providing a new bridge. The secondary road system con sists of 1673 miles and is composed of the West Side highway, the Dalles-California highway (with its Sherman highway leg) to Klamath Falls, the John Day highway, the McKenzle highway, the Tillamook highway from Portland to Hebo, the Roseburg-Coos Bay highway, the Crater Lake highway from Med ford to Prospect, the Grants Pass Crescent City highway from Grants Pass to the California state line, the Oregon a'nd Washington high way, which includes the pavement .(Concluded a Page 6, Column 3.) Prayers for Leader of Faithful Are Said in Turkish for First Time; Americans Attend. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 24. (By the Associated Press.) Abdul Med jib Effendi, newly elected caliph, was invested formally with power today. The ceremony took place in the Topcapou palace. After the transfer of the relics of the prophet, Mohammedan dignitaries wearing picturesque medieval robes and huge green turhans offered a special prayer, In which the prince, ministers and favored Moslem per sonages joined.

The en tire party then proceeded by auto mobile to the mosque of Mohammed the conqueror, where Abdul Medj'id mounted the imperial throne sur rounded by the highest .church dig nitaries and courtiers. Prayers were said, glorifying the caliph and in volving the blessings of allah upon him and the Turkish people. For the first time in history, the prayers were said in 'Jurkish instead or Araoic. this was lnienaea as a symbol of the national unity which now binds the Turkish nation, and also as an Indication that the Arabs no longer form a part of the Turk ish empire. Several Americans, including Vice Admiral Long, were among the spec- tators. No foreign government was ! ffiin a To-cr- ! lined the streets and cheered the caliph as he rode by. Abdul is the thirty-eighth suc cessor to Mohammed in the house of Osman and the first Turkish cal'ph without temporal powers. His eleva tion gives him the title of com mander of all the Mussulmans and defender of the faith. MAN CRUSHED TO DEATH Wagonload of Posts Overturns, Pinning Down Farmer. ROSEBURG, Or., Nov. 24.

EDDY FORCE HOPEFUL Douglas County Man Has 14 Sure Pledges Ritner, Taylor, Dennis, Strayer Get Busy. Whether or not Jay Upton of Crook county is elected president of the state senate depends on a conference which has been called by the eastern Oregon delegation. Upton's acceptance of Gus C. Moser's support was In a way a challenge to the feelings of several of his supporters toward Moser. There was an agreement among the eastern Oregon men, to which Upton was a party, that Moser was not to be taken into the camp. Therefore, when Upton, with his back against ttle wall and con fronted with the situation of ac cepting Moser or bidding farewell to the presidency, signed Moser he knew that he was likely to be de serted by three or four of his east ern Oregon backers. Release May Be Requested. Senators Ritner. Taylor, Dennis and Strayer are now trying to get together to talk things over. Three of these senators have repeatedly asserted that if Moser came into the Upton camp thejr would get out of it. Moser being in, the next move is up to this group. The pre-election iron-clad pact of the eastern Oregon bloc was that the seven would go where four wenf. Trat is how Upton becama the choice. Ritner, Taylor, Dennis and Strayer are a majority. They may either agree to withdraw in a body or they may request release of Upton of their individual pledges. Senntor Eddy Has 14 Votes. Providing two or three or all four quit Upton, they have the al ternative of going to B. L. Eddy of Douglas county and electing hira president, or of holding a consulta tion with the Eddy people as to the feasibility of centering on some compromise candidate. Senator Eddy has 14 votes ready to stick to him through thick and thin. Senator Upton has 16 signa tures, enough to elect him, but there is the revolution brewing within his ranks. This being the case, the presidency of the state senate is not yet setyed, nor will it be until after the conference is I held in eastern Oregon. In the event of the expected break in the Upton ranks materializ ing, it is believed that Upton will then lose one, if not more, of .the western Oregon senators who have signed with him. Upton's sole hope of presiding over the state senate is in being able to hold his men together until the legislature is called to order In January. Line Is Sharply Drawn. Even should Upton accomplish this difficult feat, the line has been so sharpiy drawn that about all the glory Upton would derive would be the honor' of serving as president, for the organization would be in control of the Eddy group, supple mented by recruits from the Upton forces. It would be a case of a pre siding officer having no machine to funct'.-jn with, for Upton would need all of his men at every test roll call. Those who have followed the devious ways and' the intricate maneuvers which have character ized this senatorial fight are of one opinion and that is that Upton will not be president, because desertions will come within a short time. This belief is based strictly on the state ments of Dennis, Taylor and Ritner and the knowledge that the eastern Oregon bloc insisted that Moser should not be taken into camp. Now that Moser has been accepted by Upton, it will be discovered whether Upton's friends were blirffing when they said they would not be in the same organization with Moser. Meeting to Be Held. Senator Upton knew exactly what he was doing when he accepted Moser's pledge Thursday night. Ha thought out his course and put It into action, possibly figuring that notwithstanding the objections of some of his friends to Moser, they might consent to accept the formal ity of his vote solely in order to elect an eastern Oregon man to the presidency. Senator Dennis telegraphed The Oregonian last night that after con sulting some members of the eastern Oregon delegation it is deemed best to have a meeting to determine any change of view to be taken on Moser's entrance and the presidency. Senator Ritner telegraphs that a meeting of the eastern Oregon dele gation will be called to consider the situation and Senator Strayer wires that be cannot say what he will do until he has full Information. When this conference will be held .(Concluded en fags 3, Column 2.) Coupe Is Hit at Rail Crossing on Grade From St. Johns Fer ry; Signal "ot Heard. Mrs. Myrtle Robinson, 38, of Whitwood Court, died at 6 o'clock last night at Good Samaritan hos pital of injuries incurred an hour earlier when the coupe in which she was driving home from work was struck at the St. John's ferry crossing by Spokane, Portland & Seattle passenger train No. 28. Mrs. Robinson was an employe of the Western Cooperage company in St. Johns. The accident happened just after ehe had driven from the ferry at Whitwood Court.

The happy warriors of the Com- ' munity Chest have chanced upon a truly remarkable fact in their pur suit of the quota. It is this the poor give with an open hand and meet their callers at the door, while often the blinds are drawn in grand residences and the bell remains un answered They are at loss to understand such a contradictory situation, wherein all forecasts are at error. "Perhaps,'' suggested a captain, "it is because those who can least afford to give are most aware oC the need for giving." Man Gives Thin Dime. At a certain Portland doorway where Mrs. F. C. Knapp knocked for admittance, Appeared a man in shabby working clothes. There were children behind him. dodging for a glimpse of the visitor. The man said that he knew of the campaign for the chest and that it had his good will. There was, unfortunate ly, no money in the house. Mrs. Knapp apologized. She said that she would not think of asking him tu pledge his very dubious future. "No," said the man, "that won't do. Will you watt a minute, please?" He returned with a dime, a thin dime, if you choose to be fanciful, and this he offered, adding that ho would feel shamed not to be among those who have given. It was his last dime, and it didn't amount to much anyhow, but the worker who took that lonely minor coin felt very much as though she has just been given a certified check in four figures. Matrons Busy Flannlne Tea. While the work of the flying squadron has resulted in larger in dividual subscriptions among selected prospects than In previous cam paigns, there is need, it is certain, for more active work and genuine response in the residential districts. Of these, where there are prosper ous homes, many of the workers have made complaint. In one in stance, at a community club, it was found impossible to interest a coterie of matrons in the Chest campaign. They were busied planning a tea. Typical of these sordid little yarns is .that of the housewife whose ga rage boasts two new cars, yet who very decidedly declared that she was not in sympathy with the proj ect. This proved too much for the rebuffed solicitor, who instantly for got all official injunctions to be diplomatic. Blazing with indigna tion she pointed to the neat garage' and its shining motors.
