NATION'S CRY: "GET BUSY' Hrriral of Industry From Coast to Coast Bankers and Business Men Predict Great Era X Activity. NEW YORK. Nov. 7. (Special.) The World tomorrow morning will print an exhaustive review, of the revival of Industry following the election, show ing that 1,000.000 men are marching briskly forward to reopened factories, busy whirling looms and spindles and to railroads and other branches. From every section of the United States the whistles of shops and fac torles are shrieking a rousing welcome to battalions of employes who are re sponding promptly to the call for more help to man the plants which have been entirely closed or practically out of commission pending the result of the National election. Huge Demand for Labor. In each quarter of the Nation smoke pours from the chimneys of establish ments which have been working re duced forces of men at' half time. Rush orders for additional equipment have poured Into the offices of machinery builders In volume sufficient to swamp them and creating at once a tremen dous demand for additional employes. All along the line word has been passed that prosperity has arrived si multaneously with the election of Will lam H. Taft. and. like a giant, business and manufacturing Interests have roused from lethargy and. shaking off the shackles of uncertainty and distrust of radical changes In economic condi tions, have ordered Ores rekindled and forces doubled. Every barometer of trade has changed utterly within a week The first news from the polls sent the glass to the "fair weather" mark, and within a week business conditions from coast to coast have become wonderfully settled. Unprecedented Prosperity. From financial headquarers the sig nal has been flashed to bustness firms to hurry the building of delayed rail road lines. Contracts Involving expen ditures of huge sums for equipment and labor and which contained clauses con ditioned upon the election result, hae been put Into effect by telegraph. In many manufacturing centers of the Kast and West, and In the South, the full strength of the labor army Is prac tically called Into action. There Is not an Industrial captain but has signalled the magic slogan, "Get busy!" From all parts of the country come details of a revival of In dustries and business. The World then follows with nine columns of dispatches from all indus trial centers in all parts of the United states, showing unusual activity, and quotes bankers and business men as predicting the greatest spasm of pros perity the country has experienced tor years. The trend of all the Interviews Is that the country feels firm ground . under its feet, with no obstacles In the way of progress.

Neal Hill, guard, was thrown with a leg under him, and the member was fractured below the knee, while J. Temple's ankle was wrenched In a elmilar manner. Paul Smith and Ned Wachof, Pasadena players, were hurt about the head. This Is tne death knell of Hollywood football, aa efforts have long been made to abolish the sport there.

STRUGGLE CERTAIN TO ENSUE Progressive Ones Will Combat "Interests" Men. SEVERAL NAMED FOR PLACE a Follette, Dolllver, Beverldge, Lodge, Knox and Others Men tioned as Successor to . Rhode Island Senator. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 7. If Senator Aldrich retires from Congress at the close of his present term. March 4. 1911. the Republicans of that body will have a merry time select ing a new leader. It is by no means cer tain that Aldrich will retire It is partic ularly doubtful if Aldrich will voluntarily retire but if he does retire, voluntarily or otherwise, at the close of the 61st Congress, there will be a fight for control of the Senate, the like of which has not been witnessed in. many years. Aldrich to Retire. All this speculation grows out of the recent declaration of ex-Governor Utter, of Rhode Island, that Senator Aldrich, when last elected, told him he would not again seek re-election. There Is no doubt that Senator Aldrich made the statements attributed to him, but there Is grave doubt whether he will two years hence hold the same views that he held when he was elected to the Senate for the fifth consec utive term. It is to be remembered that Aldrich was then in poor health, whereas today he Is physically sound and ro bust. , But if Aldrich does retire, who will succeed him? It Is a matter worthy of note that there is no member of the Sen ate who stands out pre-eminently quali fied for leadership of that body. Thtfre are many who would like to succeed Aldrich, but when the list of availables Is examined, very few are found who can be considered probabilities. There Is this to be remembered the character of the Senate at the opening of the 62nd Congress will have much to do with the selection of a new leader. Undesirables Checked Off. Marked changes are taking place in the Senate; members of the so-called "Aldrich crowd" are being retired and radicals are being elected in their stead. Several staunch Aldrich men will retire at the close of the coming session; still others will be retired two years later. How many. It Is too early to say. But the ranks of the Aldrich crowd are being de pleted, and the radicals are gaining in numbers. They are still in the minority, but it is quite possible that they will have gained control of the majority organiza tion In another two years. If they do, neither Aldrich nor any member of the Aldrich faction can be leader. If. however, the Aldrich element is still in control when the 62nd Congress as sembles, and - If Aldrich bas been elimi nated, one way or the other, there are several men whft might be made a party leader. The names of Knox, of Pennsyl vania, and Crane, of Massachusetts, are most frequently mentioned, but Kean, of New Jersey, Hale and Frye, of Maine, are also to be reckoned with, and any one of the five might be chosen. Crane Best Organizer. Of them all, Crane is naturally the beat organizer, but Crane is a new Senator, and he is not a speaker. These are heavy handicaps. Knox. In point of ability, ranks with the best men of either fac tion, but he, too, is comparatively young in the Senate. Of the older heads, Hale Right Wy :rtre Badk Deposits. Faculty Sore Over Poster and Play Which "Joshed" Them Prom inent Student9 Suffer. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7. (Special.) Seven Juniors of Stanford University were indefinitely suspended today for participa tion in the annual Junior Plug Ugly cere monies. In a poster and play the faculty was Joshed and these remarks were so bitterly resented that seven of the most prominent men of the class were dis missed. Among the victims are W. P. Fuller, Jr., son of the millionaire paint and glass dealer, of San Francisco, who Is editor of Sequoia and of the college daily; C. H. Hails, also on the college paper, and J. C. Shelton. Carnot medal debater. The students are much wrought up over these dismissals, as the Jokes were like those in previous years and no intima tion had been given that there good-natured "joshes" would be visited with punishment. The feeling among the stu dents is so bitter that a ' repetition of the scenes of last year is feared. INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS The Weatber.

ALSQQRDERS M'BEE OUSTED Woman's Friends Say Charges Against Her Spitework. DONE TO STOP CIVIL SUIT Colonel's Son Instigated Affair, 'Tis Said,' So Father Would Not Have to Account for Money He Spent In Private Company. ASHEVILLK, N. C, Nov. 7. (Special.) Following the sensational charges made against Mrs. Sophia Harrison Eastman, daughter of the late Carter Harrison, for many terms Mayor of Chicago, was the report today that a receiver for her coun try place. Buck Shoals, built by the late humorist. Bill Nye, had been appointed. The court ordered the receiver to at once oust Colonel McBee, who until recently has been Mrs. Eastman's companion in public. Mrs. Eastman's friends point out that the warrant, accusing her of residing In the same house with a man to whom she was neither married nor related, was is sued at the Instance of MoBee's son, and declare that it was done to frighten her from pursuing her civil suit, demanding an accounting from McBee for her money invested in the place. ' Mrs. Eastman remained calm during the day and waved aside both sympathy and gossip. Her attorneys filed a bill in equity and the court named S. G. Bernard receiver. The arrest and ball proceedings against Colonel McBee were not on ac count of the criminal charge against Mrs. Eastman, but on the charge that he had not cared for money and property of hers. His bond was fixed at 4000, which was arranged for by McBee. FAMILY READY TO LEND AID Mrs. Eastman's Chicago Relatives Hold Council of War. CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 7. (Special.)

Matrimony and divorce are to be the subjects of discussion by the Chicago City Council Monday night. Unless the plans of Alderman Fred A. Britten, of the Twenty-third Ward, go astray, a start will be made toward the procur ing of state legislation that will make the quick divorce an object of terror to all warring couples. As soon as the Council has dealt with the ordinance forbidding matri monial agencies, which has been rec ommended for passage by the Judiciary committee, Mr. Britten will Introduce an order directing the legislative com n i. aA .r th, PnnnHl to nrenare a bill obstructing divorce for presentation to the State Legislature. The principal points of the bill are to be as follows: "First It shall be unlawful to file a bill setting forth the causes for ask ing a divorce until a year after a simple plea.Tor divorce without partic ularization has been filed." This is intended to make It impos sible to have a hearing in a divorce case for at least a year after the fil ing of the original bill. "Second It shall be a felony for any person to go to another state and ob tain a divorce without residing in the the other state at least a year previous to the granting of the decree."

HAS PAID BIG DIVIDENDS Government Wins Victory Over Ryan's Trust Injunction Sus pended Until the Ap peal Is Decided. NEW YORK, Nov. 7. The contention of the Government that the American Tobacco Company Is a trust operated In restraint of trade and competition In violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. was sustained today In decisions handed down by Judges Lacombe, Cox and Noyes In the United States Cir cuit Court here. Judge Ward handed down a dissenting opinion. In the suit, which was prosecuted by James C. McReynolds and Edwin P. Grosvenor, special assistants of the United States Attorney General, the Government asked for an Injunction dissolving the combination. The Gov ernment also asked the United States Circuit Court to appoint a receiver to wind up the affairs of the allied cor porations. While finding that there was an illegal combination as charged. Judges Lacombe, Cox and Noyes in their opinion say that Injunctions should Issue against all the defendants except the United Cigar Stores Com pany and the R. P. Richards, Jr., Com pany. The Injunctions are, however, stayed pending an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Receiver Held Unnecessary. The petition asking for the appoint ment of & receiver was refused as being "impracticable and wholly un necessary." The Imperial Tobacco Company and the British-American Tobacco Com pany, English corporations, were in cluded in the Government's suit, but the complaints against these companies were dismissed. Judge Lacombe in his decision said: "There can be little doubt that the Federal statute has been violated. Each one of the purchases of compa nies complained of In the petition was a contract and combination In re straint of competition existing when it was entered into, and that is suf ficient to bring it within the ban of this drastic statute." Controls World's Tobacco. The Government's complaint against the American Tobacco Company In cluded the names., of a large number of subsidiary and allied companies, but not all of these are Included in the decision handed down by the Judges of the United States Circuit Court to day. In the course of the examinations It developed that the American Tobacco Company and Its subsidiaries practi cally controlled the tobacco trade of the world. This control, so Par as foreign markets are concerned, was shown to have been of comparatively recent ori gin, however, and came about through the formation of a working agreement with a great British corporation which previously had controlled the production and consumption not only In Europe, but in Asia as well.
