Carranza in Talk With Diplo
mats Predicts Further
Fighting Is Coming.
RAILWAY STILL BROKEN
General Jesus Carranza and 18,000
3Ien in Southern Part of Repub
lic Cut Off Four Battle
ships Will Remain.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26 Further
fighting in Mexico was predicted by
General Carranza today to the diplo
matic corps in Mexico City, according
to official advices to the State Depart
ment. The first chief explained to the diplo
mats, who gathered at his request, that
Zapata had refused to attend or send
delegates to the national convention
called tor October 1, and that his
forces were active in the south. He
also described in detail events leading
up to the rupture with General Villa,
but savins' that the blame for further
bloodshed would be Villa's, as his own
troops would act only on the defensive.
Zapata and Villa Conapfrlna;.
Official information has come to the
Washington Government from General
Funston and others with a denniteness
that is regarded beyond question that
Zapata and Villa are working in har
mony against Casrania, and expect the
support of ex-federals who lied the
capital because Carranza would give
them no guarantee. One of Villa's chief
demands has been that meritorious offi
cers who supported Huerta be taken
Into the new national army, only those
directly implicated in the overthrow of
Madero being barred.
Already it is reporetd that Francisco
Carbajal, ex-provisional President, and
General Felix Diaz are ready to support
Villa.
Aged General's Profession Gone.
General Hugh Scott, assistant chief of
staff of the army, and formerly in com
mand on the Mexican border, has re
ceived a pathetic letter in this connec
tion from General Francisco Castro, the
aged General just released with Mexi
can federal troops who crossed the bor
der after the battle of Ojinaga and
were interned in Texas. General Castro
wrote that after 40 years' service in
the Mexican army, during which he
worked hard to gain every promotion
and had not a blot on his record, he
now found hinyself barred from the
army of his country and without em
ployment because of Carranza's order.
The American Government has taken
no stes as yet to mend the situation.
Rear-Admiral Fletcher, commander' of
the Atlantic fleet, has recommended that
four battleships be retained temporarily
in Mexican waters whil'the remainder
of the fleet goes north for target prac
tice. - "
Fonaton'a Report Received.
The following report from General
Kunston was received today:
"One of the two wires of the cable
company to Mexico City is working.
The present extent of - the damage to J
the railway (Vera Cruz to Mexico City)
is not yet fully known. Two freight I
trains have been turned loose, -one in
each direction, and the track torn up
over considerable stretches. There Is
nothing definite ts to the destruction
of bridges, though such destruction is
said to have occurred. If the bridges
are not destroyed and no resistance is
offered railway officials think they
may be able to run trains in three or
four days.
"It is known that the destruction
was the work of rebels, ex-federals,
under Higenio Aguilar and Benjamin
Argumedo. The size of this force is
"variously estimated at from 3000 to
6000 men. Candio Aguilar, the Car
ranza General commanding forces out
Bide of Vera Cruz, has sent 1500
men. practically all he had at Soledad,
on trains in that direction. Presumar
bly they will be joined by others from
Cordrba and Orizaba. Agents of Villa
have been here . recently conferring
with ex-federal officers and furnish
ing them with funds.
Jfnua Carranza Isolated.
"If the break in the railway can be
kept open it will have the important
effect of isolating General Jesus Car
ranza and the 18,000 troops ho took to
the isthmus to garrison the state of
the southwestern part of the republic."
In response to Admiral Fletcher's
recommendations the battleships Tex
as, Minnesota and Rhode Island have
been ordered to Vera Cruz. They prob
ably will relieve the Arkansas, Dela
ware and North Dakota. Later it is
proposed to withdraw the Kansas and
Virginia, leaving the Texas, Minne
sota, Rhode Island and Vermont in
Mexican waters.
An optimistic view of the situation
was expressed in a statement issued
tonight by Gustavo Mireles, one of
Carranza's private secretaries, who ar
rived here recently from Mexico City.
It says, in part:
"I think the delegates who will at
tend the national convention to be held
in Mexico City next Thursday will
peacefully compose the difficulties now
existing between Carranza and General
Villa. At this convention all the divi
sions of the constitutionalist army,
namely, the northwest, northeast, east
. .crn. first and second divisions of the
center and all other constitutionalist
commanders will be present, repre
senting more than 100,000 men.
covery of rich iron ore deposits on the
Copper River in the New Hazelton
district, about 40 miles south of Hupert,
British Columbia, has created addi
tional interest in mining circles In the
Province. The full extent of the ore is
unknown, but 10,000,000 tons are re
ported to have been blocked out on
the surface, and cuttings show it to be
at least 45 feet deep.
The foregoing is from a report to
the Department of Commerce by R. E.
Mansfield, Consul-General of Vancou
ver. B. C, who adds:
"The claims are controlled by the
Northern Pacific Mines Company, of
Prince Rupert, which is associated with
the Macfarland syndicate of Seattle,
Wash., and a $15,000,00) company is
being organized to erect a blast fur
nace for the reduction of the ore from
these mines. The plan originally was
to build a furnace near Vancouver,
but the discovery of the new deposits
on the Copper River probably will re
sult in placing the smelter nenar the
mines. The assays of - the Copper
River ore show it to be of high grade,
and the establishment Of a plant to
handle the output will add to the Im
portance of the mining industry in
the Province."
GOULD SUIT IS AIRED
NAME I'SED TO EXPLOIT MOVIES OP
SISTER MARRIED TO CHIKESE.
Ex-Wife of Howard Gould Has Cnlna
towm Guide Arrested n Caarce
of "Misdemeanor Libel."
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26. Charges
of criminal libel made by Mrs. Kath
enne Clemmons Gould against Harry
Lewis, a Chinatown guide, materialized
today in the arrest of Lewis, who was
released upon a $500 bond. Lewis is
technically charged with "misdemeanor
libel."
Lewis recently advertised moving
pictures of Mrs. "Wong Sun Yue, Mrs.
Gould's sister, who married a San
Francisco Chinese merchant here sev
eral years ago. According to Mrs.
Gould, the advertisements identified
Mrs. Wong as the sister of "Mrs. Howard
Gould, wife of Howard Gould, New
York's richest man, who got a divorce
from, her." Mrs. Gould swears that
this is criminally libelous.
Mrs. Gould was separated from her
husband In 1909, obtaining $100 a day
alimony and no relinquishment of her
dower rights. She now resides In San
Francisco. Her sister, the cynosure
of the moving pictures promoted by
Lewis, was formerly Miss Ella May
Clemmons.
PAPER KISS IS ADVISED
IJfFECTOX IS THUS AVOIDED, SAYS
EUGENIC WORKER.
Old Method of Osculation Is Declared
as Danfeeroua aa the Roller
Towel.
PHILADELPHIA; Sept. 26. fSpecial."
All eugenlcally Inclined sweethearts
who wish to adhere faithfully to the
teachings of their cult must abolish
kissing from their courtships. Despite
its harmless appearance, kissing Is a
dangerous practice, it is said, and like
common towels and house drinking
cups, it spreads disease.
This bit of information came in a
paper read today by Dr. William F.
Snow, general secretary of the Amer
ican Social Hygiene Association, at the
fifty-first annual convention of the
Pennsylvania Homeopathic Medical As-,
sociation at ' Wernersville, Fa.
Dr. Snow left a' ray of hope for the
boys and girls of the Nation, how
ever, when he inserted -an "if" in his
warning against kissing. His "If" con
sisted of the suggestion -- that little
squares of tissue .paper, which have
previously been subjected to a bath in
a sanitary solution, might be placed
over the mouth, danger of. infection
thus being avoided.
LANE 0PF0SES LEASING
Oregon Senator Says Government
Should Operate Alaska Mines.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 26. Senator Lane today
voiced strong opposition to the Alaska
coal land leasing bill and indicated-his
purpose to vote against it. He con
tended the Government should develop
and operate all the coal mines in
Alaska. Only under Government oper
ation of coal mines, he said, would the
consumer get fuel at a reasonable price.
Moreover, under a leasing system.
Senator Laneanf there would be labor!
troubles in Alaska. The leasing sys
tem he "contended to be generally bad
and sure to lead to extravagance and
waste. Lessees, ho said, would gut
mines, taking only the best coal, and
would leave mines in dilapidated shape,
after half the coal had been removed.
He contended that under the bill as it
stands there is no way the Government
can compel lessees to sell coal at a rea
sonable price.
HUMPHREY WOULD, AMEND
Five Million Dollar Harbor Appro
propriation Is His Idea.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 26. There will be ob
jection in the House tomorrow when
Chairman Sparkman, of the river and
harbor committee, moves to concur in
the Senate $20,000,000 substitute for the
river and harbor bill, opposition coming
both from those who want larger ap
propriations and from those who will
seek further to reduce the appropria
tions. Representative Humphrey, of
Washington, will offer an amendment
cutting the lump appropriation to $5,
000,000, on the ground that the measure
it stands is purely an emergency
measure, designed to continue work un
til April, by which time it is expected
another river and harbor bill will be
passed.
It is believed by some that if the $20.-,
000,000 sum is appropriated Southern
Congressmen will bring pressure to
bear on the War Department to have
practically all that amount allotted to
Southern projects, on the plea that work
cannot be carried on in Northern states
during the Winter.
Indications are that the Senate sub
stitute finally will be accepted by the
House.

DEATH IS SUDDEN
Sir James P. Whitney Expires
Before Physician's Arrival.
COUSIN LIVES IN PORTLAND
Mrs. John E. Aitchison Tells of Re
cent Letter From Ontario Premier
Discussing War anii Paper
Pays Glowing Tribute.
TORONTO, Ont., Sept. 26. Sir James
P. Whitney, Premier of Ontario, is dead.
Although Sir James had been con
fined to his home since August 1, his
death was unexpected and sudden. A
physician, hastily summoned, reached
the house a few " minutes after Sir
James was stricken, but the Premier
Sir James Pliny Whitney. Pre
mier of Ontario, Who Died Yesterday.
.
was dead. Cerebral hemorhage, caused
by hardening of the arteries, was the
Immediate cause of death
Sir James Whitney was one of the
chief leaders in Canada in opposition
to the reciprocity plan proposed by
President Taft. Sir James' illness be
gan in New York last December and
was primarily due .to nervousness and
overwork. He was nearly 71 years
old.
Mrs. John E. Aitchison, 711 Multno
mah street, Portland, is a cousin of
Sir James Pliny Whitney and received
a letter from him in his own hand
writing, dated August 10, last. In which
he discussed the European war and
Canada's preparedness to give aid.
Appeals to Canada Published.
In one of the Toronto papers Sir
James' statement on Canada's duty to
the empire in the existing crisis was
published a few weeks before he died.
In it the Premier said, among other
thingr: . .
"The momentous crisis we now face
akes plain what Canada's course
must be. That course is to exert her
whole strength and power at once in
behalf of our empire. We are part of
the empire in the fullest sense and we
share In its obligations as well as in
its privileges And now that
we have an opportunity of repaying In
some measure the heavy debt we owe
the mother country, we will do so with
cheerfulness and courage.
"Never before in our history has the
call of duty and of honor been so clear
and imperative, and Canada will nei
ther quail nor falter at the test. The
British government has done every
thing possible to avoid war and has
sought peace with an earnestness wor
thy of responsible statesmen. But a
dishonorable peace would prove disas
trous to the empire."
Newspaper Praise Given.
' The Toronto Sunday World recently
published a full-page story and layout
of Premier Whitney, in which he was
hailed as "Ontario's .most progressive
Premier, the best-known man in On
tario and the most popular." His plain,
every-day manners and his ordinary,
humanity, it said, brought him close to
the people's hearts.
In politics Sir James was known as
a Liberal-Conservative, having been
trained in the school of Sir John Sand
fleld Macdonald. He was held, however,
to be a little more liberal than con
servative and a good deal more liberal
than Ontario opposition.
'SECTION 16' AMENDED
SENATE REPEALS PORK BARREL."
PHASB OP RECLAMATION ACT.
Chance Blade Throna-h Alaska Coal
Leasing- Bill at Suarn-estlon of
Senator Borah ot Idaho.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Sept. 26. Senator Borah after
a spirited debate today secured the
adoption by the Senate of an amend
ment to the Alaska coal leasing bill
repealing section 16 of the reclama
tion extension bill passed by Congress
last month. The effect of the amend
ment is to restore to the Secretary of
the Interior the right to apportion
money in the reclamation funds. Sec
tion 16 transfers this power to Con
gress. "That section," said Senator Borah,
"enlarges the scope of the pork barrel
system."
Senators Walsh, of Montana, and
Jones of Washington objected to
placing Senator Borah's amendment on
the Alaska bill, though favoring the
repeal of section 16. They contended
the amendment might defeat the entire
leasing bill.
The amendment was adopted with
out rollcall. Senator Borah will make
every effort to have the House ac
cept it.
Senator Chamberlain was not present
when the Borah amendment was dis
cussed and agreed to. .
War Drives Idaho Man Insane.
NEZ PERCE, Idaho, Sept. 26. (Spe
cial.) Worry, caused by the war, has
caused Henry Siehms, a prosperous
rancher, who resides near this city, to
become mentally unbalanced, and he
has been taken to a sanitarium in
Portland. . Both Mr. Siehms and his
wife have many relatives in Germany
and Austria, but owing to the censor
ship they have been unable to learn
anything of their people, which preyed
upon Mr. Siehms' mind.
- Farmer's Son Alleged Bootlegger.
LEBANON, Or., Sept. 26. (Special.)
Oscar Chambers, the son of a farmer,
was fined In the Municipal Court yes
terday $150 and given 30 days in the
City Jail of Lebanon on a charge of
bootlegging. A special officer raided
the house where he has been staying
and found & large quantity of beer and
whisky, which he had stored away be
tween the ceiling and the tipper floor.
Your battle is probably
in the field of business; you
doubtless have more use for
a pen than a sword "the

SOCIETY ISLANDS QUIET
E. T. ALLEN SAYS TRADE IX
FRENCH POSSESSIONS IS DEAD.
Early In Wu Arrangements Made for
Protection and Later German
Vessel Is Captured. '
That the European war will prac
tically destroy the commerce of the
Society Islands, most of which Is
transacted In Europe, is the assertion
of E. T. Allen, a forester in the West
ern Forestry and Conservation Asso
ciation, who has just returned from a
trip there. The products of the islands,
he says, consist chiefly of pearls, shells,
vanilla and copra, or dried cocanut.
"Early in August the Islands began
to get fragmentary reports of the war
In Europe," said Mr. Allen. "We knew
that somebody was fighting, but we did
not know if France, to whom the is
lands belong, was Involved or not. But
the Islanders supposed that she would
soon get mixed up in It and they began
drilling.
' "One day, shortly after we'fouid out
the true state of affairs in the mother
country, we saw smoke on the horizon.
The commander of the garrison be
lieved that it was a German cruiser.
He began dismantling a little obsolete
gunboat that lay In the harbor with
the Intention of mounting her guns on
the shore and Blnking her in the
entrance to the harbor. Just as they
were about to scuttle her, the vessel
came in sight and they saw that she
was a French steamer.
"A few days later the commander
heard that the German tramp Walkure
was at one of the neighboring Islands.
They mounted one gun on the old gun
boat and started off to capture her.
The captain of the Walkure did not
know that war had been declared, so
he allowed them to come aboard with
out protest. Then they covered him
with a revolver and forced him to sur
render. 'Later the French soldiers arrested
all the Germans on the islands and put
them out on a coral reef as prisoners
of war.
"All business In the islands has been
suspended. The banks have stopped
payments. The islands have been using
quite a bit of lumber from the North
west, but that trade will cease now.
"I waited 10 or 12 days after I was
ready to come home, because I could
not get passage back. The steamer line
that regularly calls at the islands had
been laid off. Finally I sailed on the
cargo steamer Maila. The captain was
afraid of the German cruiser Leipsig.
He ran off his usual course and headed
for San Diego. We ran in there and
came up the coast inside the three-
mile line. We were 15 days making
the trip, although it ordinarily takes
only H days and a half."
