FUNSTON IfJ FAVOR
OF LEAVING MEXICO
State Department Regrets
Premature Publication of
Recommendation.
TROOPS WAY BE RECALLED
Administration Expected to Abide
by Report Called For to Aid
American Commission
ers In Negotiations.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19. A recom
mendation from General Funston that
the American troops be withdrawn
from Mexico was contained in a recent
report on the military situation made
at the request of the "War Department
and designed for use of the Joint com
mission which will discuss border prob
lems. State Department officials do
not attempt to disguise their regret
over premature publication of General
Funston s conclusions, but they indi
cated today that it would not cause
any alterations in plans.
Officials realize, it is understood, that
the most pressing point for discussion
by the commission, from the Mexican
viewpoint, will be the question of witn
drawal of General Pershinn's expedi
tionary force. In order to furnish the
American commissioners with full in
formation General Funston was asked
to express his views on the military
aspects of the expedition. There is
every indication that the commissioners
and later the Administration were ex
pected to abide by the recommendations
of the chief military adviser on border
matters.
Publication of the fact that General
Funston believes it wise to withdraw
the troops may hamper the American
commissioners, some officials think, in
obtaining whatever guarantees they
may ask of the Mexican government
as to security of the border from ban
dit raids.
There can be little doubt, it is now
said, that the withdrawal will be
promptly agreed to when the commis
sion meets, the conferees then turning
their attention to the drafting of a
protocol to cover future border oper
ations, investigation of the causes of
the bandit raids, and such other mat
ters as they may wish to take up.
No intimation came from the White
House to-day as to when announcement
of the American membership of the
commission might be expected. It was
believed tonight that the names of the
commissioners would be made public
early next week. Secretary Lane, who
will head the delegation, already has
accepted the post, and as soon as his
colleagues have been named and their
views as to the meeting place ascer
tained, an agreement on that point will
be reached by Secretary Lansing and
Mr. Arredondo.
$1.75 a bushel, others believe $2 wheat
will be the rule before the Winter is
over. .
The usual stories of fortunes made
by clerks and others who started with
small money have been lacking during
the present advance in prices. The
reason is that brokers demand such
margins that those with small money
are unable to finance a trade in wheat.
As a rule, commission-houses demand
10 to 20 cents a bushel margin on new
trades.

Highest Values of Year for Wheat
Established in Interior.
Wheat prices are climbing again in
Northwestern markets after a pause of
about a week. There were advances
yesterday of 2 to 3 cents at various
points in the interior which established
values at the highest level of the year.
Farmers received as high as $1.15 in
some sections for then1 bluestem-and
$1.10 for club wheat.
The rise came with the resumption
of buying for shipment East. At Chi
cago there was an advance of 5 cents in
wheat during the day which accoi
panied news of a further deterioration
in the crop. One Chicago grain expert
estimated the United States crop at
only 696.000,000 bushels, as against the
billion bushel crop of lastoyear.

unlawful act and ia recognized as the
most conservative leader of labor."
Referring to the mention of the Mc
Namara dynamiters by Senator Sher
man, Mr. Reed declared that they did
not represent organized labor, and that
no "decent man in this country would
make such a charge. Only the most
narrow, most prejudiced mind would
attribute the individual acts of the
McNamaras as the act of an organized
body of men." Senator Reed said.
Replying1 to Senator Reed, Senator
Sherman referred to Mr. Gompers' offer
to meet him in public debate, and said
that if the labor leader could be elected
to the Senate- from any state in the
Union, he would debate with him.
"If the laws of duelling were still
in force." said Senator Sherman. "I
would say to Mr. Gompers that I do
not fight with anybody except some one
of my own class."
The Illinois Senator further attacked
Mr. Gompers for alleged political activ
ity, declaring he was "a parasite upon
the body of labor, a creeping- poison
ivy on the whole structure of industry."

two-thirds of that fund is derived from the post exchange revenues. The
building will cost about $1000 and will be equipped with tables, magazines,
Oregon newspapers, 300 seats, moving picture machine and athletic equip
ment. Educational classes will be conducted. One thousand sheets of sta
tionery a day are given out at the Oregon Y. M. C. A. for letters home.

Jealousy wa the cause of the killing
of Lewis Butts by J. F. Allen, at Rock
Creek Butte near Hereford, yesterday,
according to the testimony of Mrs.
Allen at the inquest held today at
Hereford.
Mrs. Allen said she and Allen had
not been living together for some time
and he had not been at the place for
two weeks. She said Butts worked for
her on the homestead and Allen
walked in while Butts was waiting.
She was cooking dinner at the stove.
She further testified that Butts said,
"Hello, John." a rifle cracked and
Butts started toward the door. She
could not account how the two fingers
of her left hand were wounded by a
bullet but says Allen got a towel to
staunch the blood as Butts dropped
dead in the yard. Then Allen left to
give himself up.
The verdict was "death caused by -a
gunshot wound inflicted by Allen." A
charge of second degree murder was
placed against Allen.

ASTORIA. Or., Aug. 19. (Special.)
For the first time since the opening of
the season in May there was today
what might be termed a genuine run
of fish In the river. While the run was
not big, all classes of gear, operating
from outside the heads up the river as
far as Altoona, made good hauls.
The Chinooks taken were of good
quality for so late in the season, but
many tulles were among them. As
result of this, the packers Monday will
cut the prices to 5 cents a pound flat
for large and small salmon. Three
cents a pound will be paid for silver-
sides.

Hair Often Ruined by
Washing With Soap
Soap should be used, very carefully, ir
you want to keep your hair looking Its
best. Most soaps and prepared -sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle
and ruins It.
The best thins; for steady use Is lust
ordinary mulslfled cocoanut oil (which
is pure and greaseless). and is better
than the most expensive soap- or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the balr and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
In. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly and It leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulslfled cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy. It s very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every member
of the family for months. Adv.
