THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 26, 191G. DEMOCRATIC OD FRA CHARGES ARE MADE Albert Johnson Cites Three Glaring Efforts to Keep Control of House. FULL PROBE IS PROMISED Tarty In Power Declared to Have TIeturned Members From Xortli Carolina, Tennessee and New Jersey Despite Returns. ftEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 25. Representative Albert Johnson, of Washington, after consul tation with members of the Republican Congressional committee, says the Re publicans will control the next House of Representatives by a majority of one and by result of that control will organize the House. Following organization, he says, the Republicans will treat the country to some Interesting disclosures as to how the Democrats, by resort to fraud, sought ineffectually to retain, control of the House. Three Cases of Fraud Found. Three instances of Democratic fraud have been uncovered by the Republican committee thus far, and will be inves tigated thoroughly after the new House organizes if the Republicans are actu ally In control. One Instance is in the Brltt district In North Carolina, where the Demo crats found after the polls had closed that Britt, Republican, had a clear ma jority. The Republicans say they have evidence to show that after Britt's election was apparent the Democrats slipped in several hundred fraudulent votes to overcome Britt's lead, but failed to put in a sufficient number and then put in further fraudulent votes and counted Britt out. Sims "Counted In. In the Sims district in Tennessee the original count showed Sims, Democrat, elected by 800. In the face of the fig ures, Sims, being in a Democratic state, was counted in and his Republican op ponent was declared defeated. In the Scully district in New Jersey a contest has been staged and the elec tion board appointed to decide is made tip of three Democrats from Scully's county, while the two Republican Judges are from other counties. This contest will be decided in favor of Scully, Democrat. The Republican committee says Sir. Johnson is keeping close eye on the districts that still are in dispute and plans, if it controls the House, as It expects to, to give the country all the facts. Of course, if the Democrats con trol the next House, none of these in teresting details will be laid before the public. SEATTLE COOPS RAIDED rRESl'MED AUTO THIEVES STEAL NEARLY 100 TURKEYS.

Ranchers along the Richmond Highland road, facing losses of nearly 100 turkeys from their coops during the past week, are ascribing the noc turnal visits to a superman driving a phantom automobile.

BILL IS EXPECTED Mrs. Wilson Expected to Ob tain Inaugural Dance. AFFAIR HAS TWO REASONS In First Place It Gives People Op portunity to See Official So ciety, la Second It Helps Committee Pay Bills. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 26. If the second Wilson Administration is ushered In with an inaugural ball, those who are lucky or unlucky enough to attend may thank Mrs. Wilson. President W ilson personally does not relish social func tions, especially those on a large scale. He docs not like a crowd in which he has to mingle. Four years ago ne started his career of precedent-Dusting by doing away with the customary inaugural ball on the night of March 4. The first Mrs. Wilson acquiesced in the iish of her husband and the night of March 4, 1914. was quiet in Wash ington, save for the crowds that walked the streets and thronged the cafes. The second Mrs. Wilson is not so prone to acquiesce when the Presi dent seeks to put a damper on social doings at the White House. Mrs. Wilson Active Socially. Since she became the leading lady of the land the present Mrs. Wilson has had all social functions on sched ule time; the customary White House receptions and White House dinners have been . held at the accustomed times and the customary number of guests have been invited. She has even gone so far as to take over the Issuance of invitations to all White House affairs, a duty that theretofore had been handled entirely in the White House offices. The inaugural ball differs from White House functions, however, in several important particulars. In the first place the ball is held In the massive Fension Office, under the auspices of the inaugural committee. Save for the President andsome others in high official positions admission to this ball is by ticket, the tickets being sold at $5 each by the inaugural com mittee. No social line is drawn and anyone with the admission price and with appropriate evening clothes can attend. Evening clothes, however, are as essential as the price of the ad mission ticket. Purpose Is Twofold. The purpose of the Inaugural ball is twofold; it is designed to be a big so cial event to which anyone may gain admission and see and perhaps meet the President and bis wife and the members and ladles of the Cabinet. Its second purpose is to enable the Inau gural committee to regain some of the money necessarily spent in decorating the city and making other provisions for the inauguration of the President. This expense, other than that of erect ing stands at the Capitol and White House, is borne by a local committee and the ball has been one means of enabling them to recover some of the money raised by popular subscription and otherwise lost. As a ball every Inaugural ball is a complete failure, for the crowd is so dense that dancing is almost out of the question. But those who know do not attend Inaugural balls In the expecta tion of dancing. They go to see and to be seen. From the viewpoint of the average man inaugural balls are bores, because of the crowds, because of the Inability to move about and because of the difficulty in getting into the hall and the difficulty in connecting with a duly hired taxicab or private machine after the ball is over. Nevertheless, inaugural balls have their attractive side to many persons and the promise of return to the old custom has been hailed with great delight by the people of Washington. CATHOLIC AID EXTENSIVE Humanitarian Effort of Women Is Shown to Be Effective. BALTIMORE. Nov. 25. Rerorts showing the vast amount of social and humanitarian work that is being ac complished by Catholic women all over the country were leading features of today's session of the biennial conven tion of the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae. These activities Include taking care of the babies of working women in day nurseries, organizing Catholic teachers, censoring moving picture shows, edu cating the .immigrant for citizenship and sending young women of insuffi cient means to technical and teachers' training schools to fit them to become self-supporting. DANCING MOVE EFFECTIVE CContlnud From First Page.) though there was a certain somnolent gleam in many an eye. They all said "Yes, we had a fine time at the dance, and it was one fussy, expensive party. I am so glad that starvation is free," they agreed, after counting the cost of the ball. They were compelled to bear the taunts of their fellows who enjoyed choice sandwiches and punch and other refreshments. Tne members of the squad held the chief interest at the dance, but there were no infractions of rules governing the test. Dr. Stokes kept a close watch to see that none of his associates broke the rules. There was no inclination, how ever, on the part of 4ny of them to "cheat." PURE RICH BLOOD PREVENTS DISEASE Bad blood. that is, blood that is Im pure or impoverished, thin and pale, is responsible for more ailments than any thing else. It affects every organ and f--ct!on. In some cases it causes catarrh; In others, dyspepsia: in others, rheuma tism: and In still others, weak, tired, languid feelings and worse troubles. It is responsible for run-down condi tions, and is the most common cause of disease. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the greatest purifier and enricher of the blood the world has ever known. It has been wonderfully successful In removing scrofula and other humors, increasing the red-blood corpuscles, and building up the whole system. Get It today.
