THE STJXDAT OEEGOXIAN, POIlTLiATfD, OCTOBER 11, 1914. T REPUBLICANS ARE AGAINST. COLONEL Last Vestige of Popularity De stroyed by Policy of Aid ing Democrats. OTHER ENEMIES ARE MADE Quarrels With IVlcnds in Progres sive Party Among: Strange 1'ea tures of Recent Inconsistent Political Course. OKEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 10. The speeches which have been made by Colonel Roosevelt on his swing around the circle this Fall have had the eftect of reawakening Republican sentiment against him and that reawakening, taken in connection with the pitiable showing made by the Progressive party in primary elections this Fall, has led many Republicans in Congress to voice the opinion that the Colonel will not be available as a Republican candidate in 1916. Since his return from South America, Colonel Roosevelt has pursued anything but a consistent course, politically. At first he refused flatly to display any enthusiasm over the Progressive party, or what remained of it, and ' began manifestly to flirt with his old' Repub lican friends. He quarreled with some of his most loyal friends in the Pro gressive organization and gave other signs of a desire to get back to his old moorings. Hinman Indorsement Fails. Later, after he had had full oppor tunity to size up the political situation in the United States, the Colonel came out in support of Mr. Hinman, who Bought the Republican nomination for Governor of New York. Mr. Hinman has always been a Republican and re fused to bolt the party in 1912 to fol low his former idol. The Hinman in dorsement was short-lived, and the Colonel soon concluded that Mr. Hin man would not do, but that he would give his support to a nominee of the third party. Following that announcement, the Colonel had a. conference with ejeGov ernor Sulzer, one-time Democrat and newly won over to the Progressive faith, after having been impeached by the New York Democracy. The Colo nel assured Mr. Sulzer that he would play no favorites in the Progressive Senatorial primary in New York, but would support the candidate chosen by the Progressive voters. On top of that assurance, the Colonel came out in a letter advocating the nomination of State Senator Davenport, who later de feated Sulzer for the nomination. By this move the Colonel made enemies of many Progressives who preferred Sulzer. Colonel Helping Democrats. Before this storm broke, and before the New York primaries were held, the Colonel had departed for the Middle West, where he made a vigorous cam paign for the Progressive party and bitterly arraigned both the Republi-. can and Democratic parties, and dis played some of his old-time vigor as a denouncer. The strange thing about the Colonel's speeches was that his most bitter tirades against the Repub lican party were delivered in states where the Progressive ticket cannot be elected, but where enough Progres sive votes may be cast to insure Dem ocratic success. As a result of these speeches, and other political activities of the Colo nel, it is being charged by Repub licans that the Colonel is deliberately working to keep the Democrats in power by dividing and keeping divided the opposition, at least until after the November election. The feeling of re sentment is strong among prominent Republicans. BRAVES WIN SECOND GAME (Continued From First Page.) INN AND HAVE TILT HEWN IN HOUSE ol the game, both teams played re markable baseball. There were errors of commission and omission, but all were excusable under the conditions. Maranville and Deal got mixed on Mc- Innis' first foul in the eighth inning and the shortstop was hardly pre pared for the chance.

Following his " double in the sixth inning, he attempted to steal third, when Gowdy dropped one of James' shoots. Tha- Braves' catcher re covered the ball in time to nip Schang at Deal's station, but the Athletics de clared after the game that he was safe. They claimed that the game broke for Boston there, for with Schang safe at third, and but one out, the chances for a scoring drive by the head of the bat ting list were excellent. as "Liar" for Comment on Anti-Suffrage Speech. James Deserve to Win. Although the home fans 'were more enthusiastic than on Friday, there was PORTLAJiD WRITER ATTENDS SOUTHERN COLLEGE. y ' 1 I 2 'V 'x x "i ' 1 1 1 I ! Y 'i t - - i i Miss Uarr Da vies UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Berkeley, Oct. 10. (Special.) Perhaps the most prominent of all undergraduates at the Univer sity of California is Miss Mary Caroline Davies, of Portland, Or. Miss Davies was here two years ago and has returned this year from New York University, where she took special courses in jour nalism. Mary Davies was graduated from Washington High School in 1910. She was one of the found ers and the chief inspiration of the Quillers' Club of that high school. In her senior year she was elected editor of-the Lens. Her name has appeared in high-class magazines. In the year which she spent here she won all of the literary prizes of note and at once became the chief figure in the college literary world. Barry waited patiently until James passed him to first. Schang fanned, but Walsh, batting for Plank, also was walked by the rattled pitcher. With two on and one out, the fans felt sure that the Mackmen were to break through and win, and the up roar was deafening. Eddie Murphy, lead off man for the Athletics, stepped to the plate and, catching one of James' curves full on the end of his bat, drove a leaping grounder "to the left of second base. Maranville sprang with the crack of the bat and, with a catlike bound, clutched the ball ' and with another leap touched the bag, forcing Walsh. With almost the same motion, he snapped the ball to Schmidt at first for a double on Murphy and a second later went down in a cloud of dust as Walsh crashed into him at top speed. When he scrambled to his feet the other players were running for the clubhouse and the game was saved. James Twlrlg Greatest Game. This scintillating play came at a most opportune and dramtic moment, for James had begun to falter after pitching a game which, for skill and control, has never been surpassed in a world's series match in this city, not even in the twirling duels in which Christy Mathewson, Chief Bender and Plank have figured. The Boston boxman had perfect con trol, change of pace and a spttter that broke like forked lightning. He fanned eight of the heavy-hitting Athletics, including Murphy, Oldring, Mclnnis and Strunk. and when the- batters did connect with his delivery the usual result was a weak hoist or roller. This is best demonstrated by the fact that 24 of the 27 putouts made by Boston were credited to the infield or batter ies. James gave three passes, two coming in the ninth inning, when the Ath letics came nearest to scoring.' The Mackmen got but two players safely past first and had but one left on base. Of the two hits charged against James, the one of Collins would have been an easy out for Evers but for' the fact that it bounded so high that the batter beat the throw by a step. Athletics Support Pink. riank, while he pitched a splendid game for his club, was forced to di vide more honors with his teammates than James. The Athletics' veteran pitcher was not quite the enigma to the Boston batters hat James was to the White Elephants. Plank was sev eral times saved by the sensational fielding of Baker. Barry, Collins and Mclnnis. He fanned six Braves. Pitcher James striking out four times in succession; gave four bases on balls and hit one batter. Of the 27 putouts made by the Mackmen, the battery and infield accounted for 21. Plank had to watch the bases closer than James for 11 Bostonians were stranded to the Athletics one. Considering the closeness and strain little effort on the part of the thou sands to find fault with the arbiters decisions. They cheered lustily and en deavored to rattle James and encour asre the Mackmen in the closing in nings, but frankly acknowledged after the crame that the Braves' pitcher de served to win. It was a more typical American baseball scene today than was the case at the opening game.- The sun shone from a cloudless sky with midsummer vigor, and as a result the fans, especially those in the bleach ers, quickly discarded coats and vests. wherever the rays focused on a par ticular group the effect was to produce an immediate shedding of outer gar ments, causing great blocks of white background to stand out in the somber Autumn raiment. Although there was no increase in the paid attendance the surrounding houses appeared to be about to bend and break under the weight or tnou sands that gathered on roofs, porches and at the windows. Fully 6000 must have followed play from these points outside Shibe Park, paying from 50 cents to ?2 for the privilege. Celebrities Take Part in Parade. Boston's Royal Rooters were much in evidence again, before during and after the game. They cheered and sans- and when the game was won, paraded around the field headed by Captain Johnny Evers, ex-Mayor Fitz gerald and other celebrities. Many are still celebrating in Philadelphia to night, while others left with the two ball clubs on the special train that left for Boston early in the evening. According to the Royal Rooters, the Braves will receive the greatest wel come ever given a ball team when they appear on the field at Fenway Park on Mondav. Close to 40,000 fans are ex pected to greet the players in tne mira game of the series. This will be almost twice the attend ance at either of the two games in this city. The paid admissions on both days were the same, 20,562. unis was uue tn the fact that every seat in stands and bleachers was sold by ticket and when all the coupons were honored tne rates were closed. Consequently th attendance and receipts today were the same as yesterday. The receipts lor th second game amounted to $49,63!, of which the National Commission re ceived $4963.90, players J26.805 and the clubs J17.870.10. Clubs Asked to Aid Normal. ROSEBURG. Or.. Oct. 10.

Mr. Joseph son also urged the commercial bodies to act in harmony. Peru's exports In 1913 amounted to $37,- J.o0 In value. WOMEN INSULTED, CHARGE Illinois Member Says Stenographic Notes Were Incorrect and Re mark Was Made Facetiously. Philippine Amendment Lost. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Person alities in the House today between Re publican Leader Mann and Represen tative Heflin, of Alabama, culminated in the Alabaman denouncing Mann as unworthy of his seat and demanding that the House take up the charge. Mann had offered an amendment to the pending Philippine bill to provide for woman suffrage in the islands. Resenting statements concerning his attitude toward the suffrage parade here last March, he said: "I thought it was better for . the young girl in the woman suffrage float at that time to be at home than in the parade, for fear the gentleman from Alabama would have seen her and been sure to insult her." Mr. Heflin sprang to his feet, de claring Mann unworthy of a place in the House. Representative Hay demanded that the objectionable words be stricken from the Record. Mr. Mann, continuing, referred to a recent anti-woman suffrage speech made by Representative Heflin as an "insult to womanhood." "I denounce the gentleman from Illi nois as a liar," shouted Heflin. "I demand that those words be taRen down," interjected Mr. Payne of New York. Mr. Mann asked him to with draw that demand. Mr. Mann said that the stenograph er's notes were not correct and that he had said he thought there was danger of insult to the women in the suffrage parade "from the Democratic crowds" and that he had facetiously added that "the gentleman from Ala bama might be one of the crowd." The House voted that the words read from the stenographer's notes were correct. By a vote of 152 to 66 the House then expunged Mr. Mann's remarks from the record. Representative Mann's woman suf frage amendment was defeated, 85 to 56. Our Chef Monsieur J.

Redmond Attorney Will Testify Before Jury Against J. W. Matthes, W. J Summers and R. J. Snow. District Attorney Evans will begin a searching Investigation this week be fore the grand jury of the alleged swindle by - which the International Mortgage Bank, of Apledoorn, Holland, is said to have been defrauded of $100, 000. J. W. Matthes, former Vice-Consul for the Netherlands; W. J. Summers and Robert J. Snow, building contractors, have been arrested on a forgery charge and are under bail. Denton G. Burdick, an attorney of Redmond, Or., is in the city to assist District Attorney Evans in the investi gation. It was largely due to his ef forts, it is said, that the alleged swin dle was first uncovered. He will be a witness before the grand Jury. Attorney Burdick brought with him to Portland a number of photographs that promise to be of much Interest in connection with the case. They purport to show tracts of land upon which the Holland bank, through its agent, Mr. Matthes, loaned various sums of money, taking mortgages as security. It is charged that the land, worthless in character, was bought by the conspira tors and that loans were made upon it to one Twitchell, a fictitious character, in whose names mortgages were exe cuted to the bank's agent It is charged that this land was bought by the alleged plotters for J1.50 an acre, which appears to have been much more than it was worth as the photographs show it. Loans of $20 an acre were then made, it is said, and the equity held by the man Twitchell, supposed owner, sold to an innocent purchaser. Attorney Burdick was legal adviser of this purchaser. He is said to have paid $3200 for 160 acres of land. Mr. Burdick, it is alleged, in his search for the fictitious Twitchell to get satis faction for his client, ran across the trail that led to the three men ar rested.

AURORA, Or., Oct. .10. (Special.) Political forecasts, "made while you wait," by the political sages here in dicate that Withycombe will carry this precinct by a big margin, as well as the surrounding precincts. Normally strongly Republican, this section has often given Democratic majorities, but this year sentiment appears to be run ning toward the Republican candidates. Withycombe, Booth and Hawley prob ably will receive big votes here. U'Ren, Gill and Purdy will be negligible quan tities in the election returns of this and adjacent precincts, say politicians. The prohibition amendment likely will be defeated here. The universal eight-hour law, the $1500 exemption, the Normal School bills, the Lieutenant- Governor bill, the bill to abolish the Senate and the one to abolish capital punishment seem likely to be snowed under. . The farmers are particularly bitter against the universal eight-hour bill. Railroad Sued for $7500. BAKER. Or., Oct. 10. (Special.)

STAR ROUTES REDUCED In Effort to Make Showing of Profit for Parcel Post, Department Cuts Compensation, Though Requirements Increase. OREGONIAK NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. 10. After abandoning prac tically one-third of the star mail routes In the country, in preference to paying star route carriers a fair compensation for the service exacted, the Postoffice Department now proposes, if it can obtain the sanction of Congress, to place the rural mail service on a con tract basis, contending in this way it will be able to save $20,000,000 a year. This determination Is in conformity with the policy of the Postmaster-General to cut down expenses, regardless of the demoralizing effect of reforms on the postal service generally. The Postoffice Department last Spring advertised for bids for star route service in all the Western states and Intended to let four-year contracts on the basis of bids received. When the bids were opened the department discovered that bidders everywhere had advanced rates, due to the preatly in creased volume of mail handled.' result ing from the parcel post. Many Routes DIscoBtinued. Kather than pay the advanced prices, the Postoffice Department ordered the discontinuance of a larce number of star routes. In consequence, many ru ral communities today find themselves without adequate mail service. In some instances the mail service has been practically abandoned. There have been many instances, however, where the department has ex ercised its technical right to compel contractors to continue carrying the mails under their old contracts, even though It was shown that the service was being performed at a heavy loss. This compulsory service has driven many contractors into bankruptcy, for the greatly increased volume of mails they have been compelled to carry has imposed an' Increased burden on thenv financially. It has never been explained why the Postoffice Department has been un willing to increase the compensation of star route carriers in proportion to the Increased volume of mails resulting from the parcel post. In some instances the department has granted a small increase to the carrier. In few in stances has the department made an increase proportionate to the increase in the mails. In other instances no ln crease whatever has been allowed. Blow Aimed at Rural Carriers. Through this system the Postoffice Department expects to show that the parcel post is being operated at a profit to the Government, but those who have gone into the subject care fully do not hesitate to assert that the parcel post would be much less a money maker if the Government would re store the star route, service to its full effectiveness and pay star route car riers a reasonable price for the serv ice exacted. On top of the demoralization of the star route service, Postmaster-General Burleson now proposes that rural car riers be dispensed with, and the rural routes be covered by contract carriers. Congress in recent years has been dis posed to pay the rural carriers a fair compensation for the service exacted of them, but even the pay of rural car riers has not kept pace with the in creased weight of mails handled by th-m. It Is evidently the Intention 01 the Postmaster-General to reduce the compensation paid to rural carriers, for he asserts that under his proposed re form the Government can save J20.000,- 000 a year. faval Stores.

That the iTquor habit can be treated secretly at home at very little expenst is the claim of & well-known special ist who has treated thousands ol cases. In a recent interview he rnad the following statement: "The cost of the drugs used to treat the liquoi habit in the high-priced sanitariumi amounts to very little. Here is s simple, inexpensive prescription thai can, be given secretly in coffee, tea. milk, water or in tbe food, as it hai no taste, color nor odor: To 3 oz. ol water add 20 grains of muriate of am monia, a small box of Varlex Com pound and 10 grains of pepsin. Pul into coffee or food a teaspoonful thre times a day. This prescription is per fectly harmless, can be obtained at an drug store, and will be found very ef fective in the treatment of the liquoi habit." Adv. Tti old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mother's treatment, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensi ble, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the great est advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drugstores sell the ready-to-use pro duct called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" for about 50 cents a- bot tle. It is very popular because no body can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morning the gray hair dis appears, but what delights the ladies with Wyetns Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appear ance of abundance which is so at tractive; besides, prevents dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair.
