Oregon's football machine found Itself yesterday and, while defeated by Wash ington, 10 to 7, furnlEhed as stubborn and brilliant an exhibition as ever has been seen In Portland. Starting the game the under dog" by odds as high as three and four to one. the Oregon team fought with such grim and bitter determination that not until the fourth quarter was the result de cided. Th en, Oharley Smith, powerfully built junior, who -is subbing for Bud Young at quarterback,- shot a place kick between the Oregon goal posts from the 22-yard line and broke up a superb 7-7 tie. It'. was not a spectacular kick, as such' things go, but It carried back to Seattle the sixth conference champion ship after a virulent battle. Hence it Is essential that the son of Lou Smith. ex-Sheilff of King County, be given this praiseworthy paragraph. .

The Impending defeat -purred them to even greater activity, and, carrying the ball 20 yards to Washington's 3S-yard line, Hugo Bezdek's bunch attempted a place kick on' the fourth down with two yards to go.

Farmers and Housewives Mast Ex. pressly Waive Compensation Law or Be Bound by Its Terms. HARTFORD. Conn., Nov. 15. Some laws passed by the last general As sembly and now effective are proving a surprise, even to the legislators. One law provides strict punishment for any person who carries a lighted cigarette or pipe into a streetcar. It has already caught -many persons, most of whom had unconsciously failed to extinguish their cigars. The conductor has banded the offender a printed warning, taken his name and later a police officer has served a summons. Legislators express surprise that they ever voted for such a law. The new workmen's compensation law as passed exempted employers of fewer than five persons. This exemp tion was to overcome granger opposi tion. The Attorney-General holds that all employers are bound by the law, but those having fewer than five .hands may waive it. This means that every farmer must comply with Its provisions unless he files formal notice of desire for exemption. The Attorney-General adds: "It is also evident that the house wives of the state are similarly bound by this lawT REDFIELD PRAISES HEROES Light Keeper and Tender Captain Receive Special Commendation.

As a result of a shooting in which the usual Jealous husband, unfaithful 'wife and trouble-making adventurer figured as the dramatic personae, James B. Dickinson lies here tonight at death's door with a bullet in his stomach and doctors giving him practically no hope of recovery. Dickinson is the husband in this story. The man who did the shooting is Alec Hall, who, togetner with Mr. Dick inson, hails from Elma. Wash. . Cabin Scene of Snoattaa-. The tragedy occurred last night at about 11. o'clock in a desolate home steader's cabin, 60 miles southeast of Bend, in the Bear Creek Butte country, when Dickinson broke in the door and found Hall and his wife, Nelie Dick inson, according to Dickinson, and Hall opened fire on him at once. About a month ago Dickinson took up a homestead. Last week he sent for his wife, who on Friday went out from Bend to the claim in company with Hall, who had accompanied her from Elma. In the meantime Dickinson came in from the homestead, missing his wife and Hall on the road. ' Inquiries here disclosed the fact that Hall and his wife had been here sev eral days and Dickinson became sus picious. He hired a car and hurried back to, his cabin. He broke in the cabin door and, he alleges in what may be hia last statement, that his wife was in bed and Hall was close at hand. Assailant Hakes Escape. Before anything was said. Hall, ac cording to Dickinson, fired the shot which brought Dickinson down. Neigh bors gathered, but before anything was done to hold him. Hall vanished. A Sheriff's posse Is now scouring the country for him. At nightfall the fugi tive was surrounded in Stein's Moun tains. It is understood he has a wife at Elma. Dickinson is about SO, his wife 24 and Hall 40. The two Dickinson chil dren, girls of three and five years, were with their mother at the time of the shooting. The wounded man was brought here for medical attention in Sheriff Elkin's automobile. A statement has been taken from both Mr. Dickinson and his wife. The story as related by Mrs. Dickinson has not been made public, nor have more than the vital details of the shooting a's told by Dickinson. Hall apparently has accepted the hospitality of Dickinson in the role of friend and the two men are not known to havv -a.d an enmity over the rela tions heretofore of Mrs. Dickinson and Hall. Citizens Await Call. Camp Creek Is about 60 miles from Prlnevllle and citizens there .are wait ing call of the Sheriff to recruit the posse if the hunt takes on proportions before the fugitive is caught.

Regardless of rumors and notwithstanding the in sistence of far-seeing friends. General Huerta appeared more determined to night than at any time during the last week. . to retain - the presidency ; and carry out his plans of installing the substitute Congress. Huerta reiterated today that he con tinued to be head of the Mexican gov ernment, and the fact that he took no step towards preventing the inaugura tion of the new Congress, as demanded by the United States, was construed at the embassy and the legations as indicative of what may be expected in the future. The representatives of the majority of the governments appeared to believe that General Huerta has brought affairs to such a point that drastic- action may be necessary. General Will Not Quit. "Oh, no, I shall not quit," General Huerta said tonight. "I shall continue. Just as I have been doing, to put forth my best efforts to bring about the pacification of the country, and thus fulfill the promise I made on taking office." It was suggested to the President that conditions might become such that foreigners, particularly Americans, would be in imminent danger. He agreed that this might be so, adding: . "In that case I shall do all I can to protect them." The President thought a moment and continued: "True, the rabble of the city might rise, but I would not hesitate to apply the severest methods In" my power to restore order and punish the guilty. At any rate, I am resolved to continue in the attempt to carry out my pro gramme of pacification.".

Rarely, Indeed, is it given in these days, that the list of acceptances at a dancing function includes enough men to main tain the balance of dancing partners. The Informality which did not demand that men go home and change into a dress suit or frock coat perhaps gave heightened popularity to the function.
