TTTE SUNDAY OREGOXTAN, PORTXAND, NOVEMBER . 8, 1914. S MEW LEADERS WILL APPEAR IN HOUSE Champ Clark Will Be Speaker, but Underwood's Place ,. Is Yet to Be Filled. KITCHIN LOOMING LARGE Henry of Texas Wants Place and Is Favorite at White House, but Is Not Taken So Seriously by Others as by Himself. OREGON I AN" NEWS BUREAU, Wash- Inirton. Nov. 7. During: the three months of the short session of Con gress, Democratic leaders In the House will play considerable Inside politics. and If possible frame a new slate to put through when the new House of Representatives orgranlzes. There 'Is no doubt that Champ Clark will be Speak er of the next House, If he wants to be, and there is every Indication that Ills desire Is to succeed himself in his present office. The election of Representative "Un derwood to the Senate leaves vacant the chairmanship of the ways and means committee, and the holder of that office always is. ex-officio. the floor leader of the majority party. It Is over the floor leadership that the hi fight will come, for it Is likely that the ways and means committee will be prominent in the work of the next Congress, the tariff having al ready been revised by the Democrats. Clande Kltchin In Line. The ranking member of the ways md means committee, and the man logically In line for the chairmanship when Mr. Underwood goes to the Sen ate, Is Representative Claude Kltchin, of North Carolina, and the probaoill ties are that Mr. Kltchin will succeed Mr. Underwood as chairman of the ways and means committee and as Democratic floor leader. He will not succeed Underwood without a fight. His principal opponent will be Repre sentative Henry, or Texas, now cnair man of the rules committee, and one of the three "Wilson pets" In the pres ent House. Mr. Henry wants, ultimately, to be Eenator from Texas, and has his eye on the seat now filled by Senator Cul berson, whose term expires on March 4. 1917. He realizes that the more prominence he can attain in the House, the better will be his prospects for election to the Senate in another two years. Mr. Henry takes himself serl ously; he has done so. In fact, ever since he was mentioned lor Attor ney-General Just prior to the advent f the Wilson Administration. Toward the close of the last session of Con gress Mr. Henry attained considerable notoriety by reason of his boisterous demand for cotton legislation. He was going to keep Congress In session un til December 1, unless an unwilling majority should pass his famous cotton relief bills. Mr. Henry Pleased With Himself. He did actually prolong the session several days by demanding a quorum In the House, only to surrender cheap ly on the last day when he attempted to square himself by declaring that Congress would be called back on No vember 15 to pass his cotton bills a declaration since pronounced false by the White House. But, aside from all this. Mr. Henry thinks he is the greatest Democrat on the Democratic side of the House to day, and, therefore, the logical man to succeed Mr. Underwood as floor leader. Unfortunately for Mr. Henry, there are not many members who take his own appraisement of himself, and. while he will make a great commotion and ad vertise himself as the logical successor to Underwood, he will not land the place, in all likelihood. Henry has few friends and few followers in the White House. He is a White House favorite, It Is true, but that will not help him much In his effort to win new honors In the House. I'llmrr Is Eliminated. The elimination of A. Mitchell Palm er, of Pennsylvania, removes him from the list of aspirants for the Democratic leadership. Palmer, in a way, sacri ficed himself in the Pennsylvania Sen atorial campaign, but had he been con tent to seek re-election to the House he might have been put forward as the Administration s candidate lor floor leadership. With Palmer eliminated from the next House, the fight will be between Kitchin and Henry, with the odds strongly favoring Kltchin. While Representative Kitchin has not won a National reputation during the 14 years he has been a member of the House, he has won -the friendship of all members who know him, and today Is one of the most popular members of Congress. Kitchin is a man of no mean ability, and in a rough-and-tumble de bate there is no Democrat who can stand up better or longer than he. In fact Kitchin is better able than was Underwood to cope with the sarcastic Mr. Mann, of Illinois, the Republican floor leader, and if he becomes the Democratic leader will be more ag gressive than was Mr. Underwood, and will more frequently "mix it up" with Jhe Republican leader. Kltchin Unlike Underwood. Kltchin loves the combat of debate; Underwood tried to avoid it. With It all, Kltchin, when so inclined, can make as polished and as adroit a speech as any member of the House. From long service he is familiar with parliamentary practices and with po lltical tricks, and in some respects he is better fitted lor party leadership than is Mr. Underwood, who goes to the Senate. Representative Henry is In no way fitted for this honor, but he is one of the few members of the House who does not know it. guns that the Japanese used for the first time; and, second, the effective ness of the aeroplane observation serv ice, whereby the methods of the de fense were discovered. The prisoners, who will number, it is said, between 6000 and 8000, will be brought to Japan. Japanese Use Heavy Artillery. 'A general bombardment on October 31 permitted the occupation on No vember 1 of the first attacking posi tion 36.5 meter hill, 3000 feet south of our previous position, and bounded by the ShI-Ho and the Shunkas-Ho. We entrenched and prepared for a further advance and on November 4 we pro gressed to a second position at Pom puga on the Fasaus-Ho, where we met a galling fire, yet never flinched. The heavy artillery moved closer and co operated with and protected the infantry. "On the night of November 6 we oc cupied the third and final attacking position in front of the entanglements that screened the forts. General To shiml Yamada's command advanced from the center and forced Its way through three heavily-wired defenses, crossed the intervening ditches and, charging courageously, captured the center force. This helped General Horiochl to occupy the northerly forts. The official version of the victory. Issued by the Japanese War Office, follows: Forts Completely Occupied. "The right wing under General To- hoyi and the British right center led by Lieutenant-Colonel Bernardiston, Jointly charged, and early on Novem ber 1 completely occupied Forts litis. Moltke and Bismarck, forcing the en emy to fly flags of surrender. Further details of the Tsing-Tau fighting show the Germans made des perate efforts to repair the damage to their batteries, but without success. Japanese shells killed the men at work and again demolished the battareis. Projectiles from the Japanese warships started fires in several streets of the city, certain portions of which wer burned.

Surgeons, Themselves, Also Gaining- Experience Only Possible in Time of War New Nose Made. PARIS, Oct. 29. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Advances made in surgery during the last few years are being utilized with remarkable re sults In the treatment of wounded sol diers. American surgeons who have gone to the front, in particular, are performing frequent operations which. while not new to science, have been rare in the past. Through their ef forts men who otherwise would be compelled to go through life maimed and disfigured are being reconstructed physically, while at the same time these surgeons are obtaining expert ence of such a varied character as would be impossible except in time of war. Dr. Joseph Blake, of New York, at tne American Ambulance Hospital, is making a new nose. Over an artificial bridge he Is grafting flesh and skin from the wounded man's forearm. Surgeons at the Val de Grace Hos pital constructed a new chin of rubber, covered with a beard trimmed accord ing to the soldier's photograph.

OREGON HOPEN IN ORGANIZATION BETTER PRICES BIG AIM I Concerning this scene the story of the play says: I satisnea ixrenzo is the scounurei he has been seeking. Sergeant Whitney (Mabel s father) enters Lorenzo's room. pistol In hand. Influenced, by the thought-waves sent forth by her for mer master, Mabel dresses and prepares to leave her room. At the same in stant Whitney springs upon Lorenzo and hits him a terrific blow. In her room, Mabel stands as though petrified. The men battled for possession o the pistol, which Whitney had dropped. Lorenzo secures it and shoots. Mor tally wounded, the old soldier's hate gives him strength. He twists the re volver from his foe. Slowly nt forces him back as he grips Lorenzo about the throat, and finally staggers back from the bed, across which Lorenzo's silent form lies. The soldier endeavors to reach the door. His strength gone. he falls to the floor." The photography Is of the highest quality and particular attention Is given to detail. Several Plans Put Forward, but One Giving- Corporation Right to Buy Product at Market Price Is Likely to Be Adopted. SALEM, Or., Nov. 7. (Special.) Having as Its purpose the safeguard ing pf the Interests of its members the Oregon HopgrowersV Association was organized here today at a meeting of about 125 growers. It Is planned for delegates from this and similar asso ciations organized In Washington and California to meet here the latter part of November and organize the Pacific Coast Association, with which the state associations will become affiliated members. According-to a resolution which was adopted, the association contemplates making an arrangement which will put an end to the contracting of hops and give to the grower the best prices. It will arrange to advance sufficient money to growers who have not the necessary capital lor cultivating ana harvesting of crops. Another resolu tion which was adopted urges all growers to hold their hops of the pres ent year until the organization of the Coast association is completed. It Is believed that by doing so better prices than now prevail will be received. The following officers were elected for the Oregon association: Salem Man Heads Merger. L.. H. McMahan, Salem, president Fred N. Stump, Polk County, secretary C. A. McLaughlin, of Independence, vice-president, and L. H. McMahan, Fred N. Stump, C. A. McLaughlin, W, R.

George Hewlett, vice-president of the Mendocino County Hopgrowers1 Association of California, had made the following suggestions for the organi zation: "An association controlled and man aged by Oregon growers. Stock to Be Issued. "Form 1 To issue stock and learn at once the amount of stock the grow ers will take. "Form two: Issue no stock and fix 10 as membership fee. A business management organization would con sist of one of three plans. "Plan one: The absolute purchase of the growers' hops. Plan two: Growers to deal through a corporation commis sion basis. Plan three: Same as plan two, with exception that the corpora tion has the right to buy hops from growers at the market price, returning them to dividends, less a commission to the state organization." The California association favors the third plan, and It Is probable that It will be Incorporated In the bylaws of the Oregon association.

Opinion Based on Inability of Any Offi cial to RecelTe Petition or to Order Special Election. OREGON CITY, Or, Nov. 7 (Spe cial.) That the recall law did not apply to school districts was the decision of Circuit Judge Campbell today, when he sustained a demurrer In the Jennings Lodge recall case. The recall law provides that a recall petition shlll be nied with the officer with whom a nominating petition would be filed and that this officer shall call the election. The principal point on which Judge Campbell's decision was based was that tnere Is not such an officer in a school district, and, there fore, no one with whom to file a recall petition or no one to call a recall elec tion. The recall was directed against Will- lam Jacobs and Mrs. V. K. Smith, and followed a long and bitter contest be tween two factions in the Jennings Lodge district- One side was opposed to the district paying tuition for stu dents attending high school In Oregon City, while the other faction favored such a plan. The directors at whom the recall was directed favored paying the tuition. Last Spring a recall petition was cir culated in the district and filed with the School Clerk. The petition was ig nored and the matter was dropped dur ing the Summer months until school opened again this Fall, when those backing the recall procured a writ of mandamus. The two school directors then filed a demurrer, which was sus tained today.

Germans Have Succeeded Only Par tially In Correcting Situation. Military Leaders Promise Glory for People. ROME, Nov. 7. Dispatches from Con stantinople describe the situation there as outwardly much as it was during the Balkan war. Foreigners are re garded with suspicion and keep to themselves, c-cept in the case of Ger mans, who may be seen everywhere. German money is so plentiful that it is often accepted as though it were Tur kish. In the cafes the German language is constantly heard and this is true also of places of amusement. The governing classes are described as appearing solemnly confident, but the army is declared to be totally un prepared for war. Storehouses Are Empty. The storehouses are said to be empty and no commissariat exists. Many sol diers are still wearing their uniforms worn in the Balkan war and the army officers have not all been paid, it is asserted. - There is a scarcity of ammunition, according to the correspondents, who add that since the beginning of the present war the Germans have been trying to overcome these drawbacks and, to a certain extent, have succeed ed. They have poured Into Turkey German officers, privates, sailors, arms and ammunition, and above all, money. It Is also said that they have sent a submarine to Turkey. Leaders Promise Military Glory. Enver Pasha, the Turkish Minister of War, and General Liman Von Sanders, the German commander of the Otto man army, are the idols of the moment, says one correspondent, who adds: "They have promised the people mili tary glory and certain conquests fol lowed by riches and prosperity through the spoils of war. Enver Pasha already Is depicted as the Ottoman Napoleon, but meanwhile, notwithstanding Ger many's assistance, the financial neces sities are so pressing that a new taxa tion has been imposed and the salaries of officials. Including tne diplomats, have been curtailed." AUSTRIANS SAY THEY WIN Heights Reported Captured and To tal of 15,200 Prisoners Taken. LONDON, Nov. 7.
