The Ger man Ileichstag- adjourned, leaving be hind it a latent crisis, -which political observers believe will lead sooner or later to the retirement of Dr. Michaelis, the Chancellor, without a following. Other parties are less actively in op position to Dr. Michaelis than the .So cialists, but not a voice has been raised ag-ainst the Vorwaerts' slogan, "Michaelis must go." Recent arrivals from Berlin report that current gossip there is that Michaelis can scarcely last a month. The Chancellor's blunder in springing the disclosures of the alleged naval plot, against which, according to the National Zeitung, he was strongly ad vised, and his failure to make headway against the Richstag majority, appeal to have lost him the Conservative and Pan-German support. Von Buelovr May Be Candidate. The speeches at the .concluding ses sion of the Reichstag must be read in the light of the expectation that the days of Michaelis are numbered. The speech of the Radical Deputy. Hauss mann, contained passages intended to launch the candidacy of Prince von Buelow, which is still being pressed as vigorously as possible. AMSTERDAM. Oct. 13. Dnrinsr the debate on the censorship in the Reichs tag on Thursday, says a Berlin dis patch. Deputy Heinrich Mueller said: "We are reminded of the worst times of the old Roman Empire. AVe are suffocated under a heap of official paper prescriptions of mock justice, in justice and arbitrariness. People sigh, 'Who will free us from this deluge of evil paper?' Confidence is ruined by the manner in which the state of siege is exercised. "Homogeneity is lacking in the impe rial leadership and the higher military leadership. The relations between the general command and the trades unions is becoming worse and worse. It is a scandal how the pacifist lead ers are deprived of all their rights at a time when great concessions are be ing made to the government's pacif ism." After a strong criticism of the methods of the press bureau, the speaker continued: "It was not lack of men, but of equipment, that was responsible for the outcome of the battle of the Marne. "It looks as if there were elements In Germany working for an open con flict between the government and Par liament." MICHAELIS' POWER IS GONE Berlin Papers Generally Agreed De position. Is Imperative. COPENHAGEN, Oct. 13. According to the latest information of the Berlin newspapers the resignation of Vice Admiral von Capelle, Minister of Ma rine, has not yet. been submitted, al though it has been decided upon. (Fri day night's announcement of the Min ister's resignation came through Am sterdam, credited to the Frankfurter Zeitung.) The delay may be due to the absence of Emperor "William, who, ac companied by Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann, is at Sofia, and may per haps go to Constantinople, as the pub lished itinerary of Dr. von Kuehlmann Includes a visit to the Turkish capital. The Pan-German Lokal Anzeiger, the National-liberal Deutsche Kurier, the Catholic Germania, the Radical Tage blatt and the Socialist Vorwaerts agree that the prestige of Chancellor Mich aelis is shattered and his power so broken that his disposition is impera tive. The Kurier suggests that a change In the chancellorship has been tem porarily deferred on tactical grounds, to avoid the impression that there had been a surrender to Socialist pressure. Virtually the entire press sneers openly or covertly at the Chancellor's attempt to get clear by shouldering the responsibility upon Vice-Admiral von Capelle. It is pointed out that the Chancellor himself went virtually as far as the Minister of Marine in the Introduction of subjects and the subse quent debate. .

"Adversity has made Rumania all the more decided not to give'up the strug gle which has cost her so much in blood and tears." LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13. (Special.) Mrs. James Whitcomb Brougher. wife of the well-known pastor of the Temple Baptist Church here and former pastor of the "White Temple Church at Port land, was painfully injured in an auto smashup while returning from a day at Catalina Island as the guest with others of Dustin Farnum on his private yacht Ding. The party in cluded members of the Billy Sunday organization. Mrs. Brougher is reported not seri ously injured and the other occupants of the car in which she was riding escaped- with nothing worse than a shaking up. The accident was caused by an effort to avoid a collision with another motorist, who cut in ahead from a side street. The car was wrecked. In the car, one of three carrying the party from Wilmington, were Mrs. H. P. Caulfield, who was driving; Dr. and Mrs. Brougher, Mr. and Mrs. Bernal Dyas, Homer Rodeheaver. leader of the Sunday Tabernacle music, and Mr. Caulfield. According to Dr. Brougher, Mrs. Caulfield was driving north on Main street at not more than 23 miles an hour, when a small car darted from a side street to her left. In an effort to avoid striking, the newcomer, Mrs. Caulfield swung to the right, striking the curb. Mrs. Brougher, who was riding in the front seat, was thrown against the windshield, breaking it. She received severely lacerated wrists and arms, a cut on the lip and bruises on the body. A passing automobile was hailed and she was rushed to the family residence at No. 1331 West Fourth street and a physician was called. He declared the injuries not dangerous. None of the other members of the party was in jured, aside from shock. The motorist who violated the rules of the road. sped on after the accident. His identity is unknown. Billy and Ma Sunday and Dustin Farnum narrowly escaped being in the smash-up. Billy and Ma first decided to ride to town with Mrs. Caulfield, but later changed their minds, coming in with Dustin Farnum and escaping in Jury. The Sunday car was at some lit tle distance when the wreck occurred. The Sunday party spent the day at Catalina, fishing and seeing the sights of the island. George Sunday battled for an hour with a gigantic sword fish, weighing nearly 150 pounds. When it was nearly landed the hook broke and the work of the patient fisherman went for naught.

At a luncheon at the Hotel Albany Ambauador at Laancblng of Steamer "" Voices Appreciation of Worls of the tnited States. AN ATLANTIC PORT, Oct. 13. Senor de Aldunate, the Chilean Ambassador, at the launching of a steamer here today, spoke hopefully of his country being able to break the monopoly of freights exercised by- commercial houses of Europe. The Ambassador said: "I 'addition to her remoteness and the Cordillera of the Andes, an artificial element has contributed to Chile's iso lation, the monopoly of freights exer cised by the great commercial houses of Europe by virtue of which we have been barred from direct communication with buyers and sellers. Our produc tion, industries and commerce have been arrested. Now we call to our aid a powerful competitor who will break this monopoly and give us freedom, tearing down the Chinese wall of freight monopoly. "This is the first time the United States Government has taken a step of this nature; it has broken its tradi tions and undertaken a work which heretofore .exclusively has been one of private initiative. "Chile receives with applause the work of commercial intercourse and more intimate political relations. The United States does not know Chile well enough and the best vehicle for such knowledge is the steamship which is today born to the hazardous life of the sea." 6 Big Acts 6 Special Announcement -The Strand Theater until further notice will present six High-Class vaudeville acts, in addition to the usual feature film of five reels, commencing TOD A Y. iH I PIF.,.J'V'IMI'!'JWMuwiii.iuii;iJijMij .! 1 1 in. m i mi in pi m, ii 3 VrVTJDEVlLLE 8-PHOTOPLAYS VjT Tl RAILWAY CLERKS TO QUIT Spokane Northern Pacific Employes Vote to Strike Tomorrow.
