NGTQN WAITS ELECTION RE RESULTS Outside Issues Enliven Mexican Affair. EUROPE PREPARES TO HELP Co-operation Expected When Policy Is Announced. POWERS EXCHANGE VIEWS Reported Capture of Jlonterey by Rebels Expected toi Give Added Encouragement to Forces of Revolutionists. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. Official Washington awaits tonight with keen Interest the outcome of tomorrow's elections In Mexico under supervision of the Huerta provisional government, recognition of which aiready has been denied by the American Government. Interest in the outcome was enlivened by the news of the fall of Monterey into the hands of the rebel forces, the summoning . by General Huerta to Mexico City of General Felix Diaz, one of the Presidential candidates, and dls. cusslon of the reported determination of the Washington Administration to notify foreign powers that any Inter ference in Mexico would be regarded as an act unfriendly to the United States. In the absence from Washington of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, the official Government was silent, but reports from Paris that foreign powers were exchanging views on a proposi tion to co-operate with this Nation in some concerted Mexican policy follow ing the elections tomorrow were re ceived with marked Interest in Gov ernment departments. rope's Altitude Significant. Significance was attached to the dis patches from abroad, coming on the heels of the reports from Washington that the President and Secretary of State were at work on a pronuncla mento which would define this Nation's attitude with relation to the policy in Mexico of the foreign nations and also to the statement Issued in Philadelphia by Senator Bacon, chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, to the effect that the. interests of the United States in Mexico are "Infinitely greater" than those of the other great powers. It was the prevailing opinion that once the elections were over and the policy of the Huerta government for the future revealed, there may be found a ground for an International under standing in dealing with the perplexing situation. Serious Alarm Not Felt. Though reports from Mexico tonight Indicated that election day night pre cipitate some trouble In certain parts of the Mexican republic, no dispatches reached the State Department which Indicated any cause for unusual alaTm and few serious clashes were expected. Chief Interest here in the elections is the manner in which the election re turns will be handled and how the vote will be canvassed, in view of the over, throw by Huerta of the legislative body which Is the legally constituted authority for review of the returns. It was because of the dissolution of Congress and the arrest of Its members that the Washington Administration gave notice that it could not recognize tomorrow's election. Return Likely to Be Late. Whether Huerta will appoint a spe cial board, turn the ballots over to the Supreme Court or permit them to be re- (Concluded on Page 2.) SINGER SINGS ODE TO PASTOR'S VOICE MME. SCHUMANN HEIXK liATTDS REV. FRAXK GORMAN'S SONG Preacher at Atkinson Memorial Church Is True Tenor, Noted Con tralto Says After Hearing Him. Rev. Frank W. Gorman, pastor of Atkinson Memorial Church, Is an ex cellent tenor singer whose solos are in much demand, and yesterday his fin singing was cordially praised by no less an authority than Madame Schumann Helnk, the great contralto. It was brought to Schumann Helnk"? notice that Mr. Gorman is a tenor singer, and mutual friends introduced them. With Mrs. Elsie Bond Blschoff as his piano accompanist, Mr. Gorman sang several songs for Schumann Helnk, and she said: "Tour voice has the true tenor quality, and you are already an accom plished singer. I know It Is difficult to speak much In public and also use the singing voice. Friends have brought your singing to my attention, and after hearing you sing' I am of the opinion that such a fine tenor voice as yours should receive th benefit of careful training. I am sure you will use to good advantage the sing ing voice that has been given you." "Madame Schumann Helnk gave me good advice, also, on bow to develop my voice," said Mr. Gorman, last night, "but I do not feel warranted in making public her good'counsel. First of all, I am a preacher, and if I can use my singing In my ministry to good ad vantage. I shall be satisfied." Mr. Gorman Is being prepared for vocal recital work by Mrs. Elsie Bond Blschoff. LABOR INDORSES VARSITY Central Council Opposes Referendum Recently Invoked. Adoption of a resolution by the Cen tral Labor Council indorsing the Uni versity of Oregon and opposing the ref erendum which has been invoked against its appropriation' served as an effective expression of the attitude of the labor organizations toward the in stitution and as an emphatic denial of any rumor of hostility toward it on the part of organized labor. Last week six members of the Labor Council visited the University at Eu gene and made an official Inspection. In the delegation were A. H. Harris, editor of the Labor Press; B. W. Slee man, agent of the Building Trades Council; A. C. Raven, secretary of the board of control of the Labor Press; Fhil Pollock, agent of the Plumbers' Association, Glenn Harris and E. J. Stack. CHURCHES REPORTED DYING Dr. Williams Says C3, 000, 000 Chil dren Don't Go to Sunday School. Delegates to the North Coast Dis trict Convention of the Missionaries of the American Sunday School Union wll' speak in many of the Portland churches today. They are from many parts of Oregon, Washington and Idaho and have been In session since Wednesday at the First Presbyterian Church. At one of the sessions Dr. George P. Williams, of Philadelphia, declared that 60 per cent of the rural churches are dead or dying. He said that 23. 000.000 children in the United States were not regular attendants at any Sunday school. Salaries of ministers in rural districts, according to Dr. Williams, range from 1334 to I960 a year, which, he said, was one of the reasons for rural evangelization. Lane Names Cadet Candidate.

'SACRED PURPOSE' OUTLINED Two Continents Meant for Self-Governing Peoples. SIZE DEFENDED AS TEST President Contends Race Is Big as Thing It Takes Possession Of. Idea to Be Announced to All Nations. SWARTHMORE, Pa., Oct 25. Presi dent Wilson in a speech here today, proclaimed the doctrine that the whole Western Hemisphere should be devoted to one sacred purpose that nowhere can any government endure which Is stained by blood or supported by any thing but the consent of the governed. It was extolling the spirit with which William Penn sought to establish "A free commonwealth," in America that the President Incidentally revealed his thoughts on present-day problems. His utterances, it Is known, reflect the ideas which the Washington Administration Is preparing to announce to the nation of the world in a formal note on the policy of the United States . toward Mexico. President Speaks in Tent. The President spoke in a big tent not far from the spot where Penn landed, the exercises being commemorative, also, of founders' day at Swarthmors College. He was enthusiasticallj cheered. "I would not be interested," the President said. "in celebrating the memory . of William Penn if, his con quest had been merely a material one. Sometimes we have been laughed at by foreigners in particular for boosting of the size of the American Continent, the size of our own domain as a Na tion, for they have naturally suggested that we did not make it. "But I -claim that every race and every man is-as big as the thing h takes possession of and" that the size 6f America is in some -sense a standard of the size and capacity of the Ameri can people; but the extent of the Amer can Continent's not what gives Amer ica distinction in the annals of the world. It is the professed purpose of the conquest, which was to see to !t that every foot of that land should be the home of free, self-governed people, who should have no govern nent whatever which did not rest upon the consent of the governed. Sprit Will Not Be Stayed. "We would like to believe that all this hemisphere is devoted to the same sacred purpose and that nowhere any government endures which is stained iy blood or supported by anything but the consent of the governed. The spirit of Penn will not be stayed. You cannot set limits to such knightly adventurers. After their own day is gone, their spirits stalk ' the world. carrying inspiration every where that they go and reminding men of the lineage, the fine lineage of those who have sought justice and the right' How many of you will forego anything except your allegiance but to that which is Just and right? We die but once and we die without distinc tion, if we are hot willing to die the death of sacrifice. "Do you covet honor?" Tou will not get it by serving yourself. Do you covet distinction? Tou will get it only as the servant of mankind. Do not forget. (Concluded on Page 4.) INTERNATIONAL NEWS BLOOD-STAINED INDEX CF TODAY'S NEWS The Weather.

Three thousand football enthusiasts saw the Multnomah Club defeat Wash ington State College yesterday on Winged "M" field, 7 to 0. Tucked away In that simple score Is a story of some of the most brilliant and aggressive football seen In Port land within the past coupre of seasons. Multnomah won because a bad punt by Captain Coulter gave the clubmen the ball on Pullman's 30-yard line early in the fourth quarter. There was no chocking the raging crimson and white warriors then. Quarterback Rodes tore off 15 yards around right end; McRae nine on crossbuck and Keck two yards straight through, placing the ball on Coach Ben der's four-yard lino with four trials. Accident Score Held Lesral. A peculiar play cropped up here, Mc Rae fumbling on the first play and the ball rolling across the goal line. Francis fell on It for a touchdown. Coach Bender for the visitors entered protest that the ball should have been called dead at the spot of the fumble. He was overruled, however. All three officials agreed that the score was legal. Keck kicked goal and thus fur ther avenged a 6-0 beating adminis tered by the Pullman It es in 1910, when last the two teams grappled. Aside from this one flash of offensive strength there was little to choose be tween the teams. Outweighed by ten nnunda to the man. the Washington ness of the famous Johnny Bender methods. They fought bitterly in a 0-0 deadlock through three strenuous periods. Club Goal Never Threatened. Washington State never really threat ened the Winged "M" goal line, but Bender's dazzling backfleld stars. Coul ter and Foster, particularly, ripped the beefy Multnomah line to shreds time after time. Hard, fast, resourceful, ever alert, the collegians fought bitterly all through the game only to lose be cause of the one unfortunate punt that sailed out of bounds on the 30-yard line. Coulter was on his 25-yard line when (Concluded on Page 6.) LANE TO DEMAND CAR TRANSFERS SENATOR WARS ON WASHING TON STREET RAILWAYS. Act of Congress Declared Disregard ed ' for 20 Years Through Efforts of lobbyists. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash fington, Oct. 2R. Senator Lane, of Ore gon, is preparing; to mm war on me street railway companies of Washing ton which operate under charters granted by Congress but refuse to obey an act of Congress requiring them to issue free transfers at all Junctions. There are two street railway systems in Washington, and while each issues transfers over its own system, neither will Issue transfers to the other sys tem, notwithstanding the requirement of Congress. Senator Lane during his stay In Washington has spent several dollars In extra fares because the railway companies refuse to issue transfers as required by law, and he proposes to In troduce on Monday a resolution call ing on the local government for its reason for not enforcing tho universal transfer law. If Senator Lane finds the law is de fective he will Introduce a bill to amend It so as to make It effective, for the Intent of Congress wag plain when it passed the universal transfer law in 1894. Tht law has neither been obeyed nor enforced. The railway companies which Sena tor Lane Is attacking have employed the most successful lobbyists who ever operated around Congress, and It Is the general belief that through their in fluence the railways have been per mitted for nearly 20 years to disregard the law.

THREAT PHONED TO GARY Head of Steel Corporation Takes Precautions Against Attack. r CHICAGO, Oct. 25.

MINIMUM WASE IS PAID NOW Welfare Commission's Ruling Effective Soon. DEPARTMENT STORES HURT Grocery Business Such as Demands Open Stores Saturday Nights, Says Clerk Night Work Brings Little Hardship. Asserted. WOMEN EMPLOYES GIVE OPIN IONS ON MINIMUM WAtiE KCXIXti. What do the girls themselves think of the Industrial Welfare Commis sion's plans to limit their employ ment to eight hours and 20 minutes a day and 50 hours a week, to es tablish for them a minimum wage and to prohibit them working after 6 o'clock at night? To secure a definite, composite an swer to this question The Oregonlan has conducted a careful Investiga tion among the women employes of four of the leading department stores In the city Holts', Upmin, Wolfe A Co., Mlr A Frank and Olds, Wortman & King as well as among the girls employed In various capacities at the Hazelwood restau rant. The girls are emphatically In fa vor of a short day and a minimum wage, but their employers had grant ed both these concessions before the Commission made Its ruling. Answers of the girls to the pro hibition against working seven days a week and after 6 P. M. are given herewith. Now that the orders of the Indus trial Welfare Commission soon are to become operative the girls who are to be benefited by them are giving the subject serious consideration with the object of learning how they personally are to be affected. So far as the wage regulations which prescribe a minimum wage of 31 a day for girls between the ages of 18 and IS years and (9.25 a week for adult women workers are concerned, ( employes of the big department stores and restaurants of Portland are not affected. They get tho minimum wage already. The rule limiting employment of women adults as well as apprentices to eight hours and 30 minutes a day and 50 hours a week will not affect the girls In the department stores. Such a schedule Is In effect now. Restaurant girls, however, will be affected by the 50-hour-week rule. While they work only eight and eight. and-a-half hours a day they work seven days a week. Their wages are based on a week of seven days. They gee more than the minimum require ment in cash and three meals a day In addition. By limiting their employment to 60 hours a week the Commission will deprive them of one-seventh of their weekly income and force them to pay for their meals one day each week. But the most serious situation la presented by the order prohibiting wo men from . working after 6 o'clock In the evening. ; Glrla liar Lose Places, Tbls will doubtless force hundreds of restaurant girls out of employment. The restaurants cannot close at 6 o'clock. The girls will be replaced by men. Oirls in the department stores fear (Concluded on Page 12.) I
