FIRST SCORE IN SECOND Bears Again Cross Northerners' t Goal Line in Last Period. Jenne Is Disappointment. BY L. H. GREGORY. California 14, Washington State 0. The California Bears still are the football "wonder team" of the Pacific coast A great throng on Multnqmah field yesterday saw them hold back the crlmson-Jerseyed tide of Washington State, saw them resort to a kicking; duel when their own attack was rolled back by the Pullman stal warts, and then, when the "breaks" came, as come they did, saw them' batter down resistance and plow through for two touchdowns. California had generalship and the punch when both were needed. That tells it. Washington State fought wonderfully, courageously, desper ately. But It was to a forlorn hope. After the Bears, early in the second quarter, on a combination of breaks and brilliant football, had gained their first score, there never was a real ciance for Washington State to win. Full Due Given Losers. But give the losers their full due. This was no 49-to-0 debacle, no mas sacre of defenseless innocents. It was a fight, a struggle, a man-toman combat, a game full of sparkling plays and thrilling moments. Wash ington State gave way at last, but with colors flying, to a team that proved Itself the better in almost very aspect of the game. California rarely made yardage through the Washington State line. On both sides, the line play was mag nificent. But in generalship, In punt ing, in the snap and dash and waltop at the vital moment, the Bears ex celled. The better team won. Jenne Is Dlsnpnolntnsrnt. Washington State had relied great ly on the punting of Eldon Jenne to keep her even against the booting of the dashing Nesblt. But In the test of battle Jenne was a disappointment. Not once, but many times hla kicks went high Into the air for little dis tance. One such kick, early in the second quarter, after the elevens had surged back and forth on many kicking ex changes, with neither able to gain yardage through the opposing line, was the distinctive break of the game. It opened the way to a California touchdown. And from the moment of that Ineffective kick, California su premacy at all times was marked. California had been gaining gradually on these punts, but then for a brief flash the Washington State offensive nullified her gains Twice in a row Jenne circled the ends, once for nine yards and again for seven, and Moran backed center for seven more. The first quarter eirded with Washington State having the ball In midfield. Jio Gain Made by Punt. But then came the break. The California defense tightened as the second period opened and Washington State had to kick. Jenne stood on hla own 45-yard line to punt. Instead of soaring high and far In a twistin? spiral, the pigskin rose almost in a perpendicular, straight up In the air. Down it came and a I'alifornla.man dropped on it on the Washington State iS-yard line. There ensued another exchange of kicks, with Toomey making ineffec (l'onclu:led on Pit 4. Column 1.) JtVE-lSNlS: THING Acceptance of Foreign Obligations Said to Rest on Peace With Bolshevik Republic. RIGA, Oct. 29. (By the Associated Press.) Official confirmation that the Russian soviet government has agreed, under certain conditions, to recognize the foreign debts of the imperial Russian government, was received, here today through the Rosta official bolshevik news agency.

SUBSTANTIAL GAINS MADE Recall of Governor and Two Commissioners Succeeds. T0WNLEY VIEWS WRECK Ex-Leader in North Dakota Closes Vp Affairs Before Beginning 00-Day Jail Sentence. FARGO. N. D., Oct. 29. (By the Associated Press.) Recall in yester day's election of Governor Lynn J. Frazler and two other state officials. Indorsed by the Nonpartisan league. was conceded tonight by the Fargo courier-News, official paper of the league in North Dakota. ' With less than 300 precincts in the state unreported when tabulation by independent newspapers ceased for the night, R. A. Nestos, independent gubernatorial candidate, had a lead of 11,126 over Governor T.vnn .1 rra,i non-partisan. Returns from 179ft nm- cincts out of 2086 gave Nestos 105,192 ana frazier 94,066 for a total vote of 199,258. It was estimated that nmh. ably not more than 15,000 votes re- mainea unaccounted for. League Organ Admits Defeat. Returns on the proposed constitu tional amendments and the initiated laws were not tabulated as promptly as those on the candidates, but the prediction In both independent and nonpartisan camps was that although they would run behind the candidate, they would be In about the same ratio. All the amendments and laws were indorsed by the Independents and op posed by the league. They have to do with changes in the election laws and liquidation of tbe ' state -bank- of North Dakota. "The Nonpartisan league has been defeated." the Courier-News will say In an editorial tomorrow. "The inde pendent victory Is not so sweeping that It can be counted upon as perma nent, however." State campaign headquarters of the league here and the state officials had not conceded defeat up to 9 o'clock. Sveinbjorn Johnson and Joseph A Kitchen held corresponding leads re spectively over Attorney-General William Lemke and J. N. Hagen, com missioner of agriculture and labor, the other two officials whose recall is conceded. FARGO. N. D.. Oct. 29. (Special.) The non-partisan league suffered defeat at the polls yesterday, accord ing to the latest returns. While the election at first seemed close, tonight the figures were announced remov ing all doubt as to the certainty of the outcome. Independent forces claim victory for their candidates by majorities averaging 11,000. Remaining precincts are principally Ir. league territory and will" cut the Nestos majority, but most of them are small and 151.676 votes are in already out of an estimated total of 210,000. The non-partisans would have to get 25,000 majority out of approximately 60,000 votes yet to hear from. It was said unofficially in non partisan league quarters here that only a marked increase in league ma jorities In the unreported slope pre cincts could stop the rising tide of ballots threatening to end the su premacy of the league. Independent Gains Shovrn. Normal majorities for the league In the missing precincts, based on the returns of the generaj election a year (Concluded on Pane 2. Column 1.)

As an echo of the Hawley divorce suit which was fought through the courts in Oregon City in 1920 and carried to tha state supreme court last spring without freeing Wlllard Hawley, son of W. P.

INSIDE FACTS BROUGHT OUT Stirring Events of Great War Period Glimpsed. TRIBUTE PAID TO CHIEF Several Supposed Errors of Recent History Concerning ex-President Corrected by Secretary. The Oresonian presents herewith the first Installment of the serial. "Woodrow Wilson as I Know Him." It Is written by Joseph P. Tumulty, who was President Wilson's private secretary, and Is an au thoritative Interpretation from the demo cratic viewpoint ot events during; the war and prior thereto. It will appear in The Orcgonlan both dally and Sunday. BT JOSEPH P. TUMULTY. (Copyright by Doubleday. Paffl & Co. Published by Arrangement.) It will be recalled that early In the war Colonel Roosevelt called at the White House to confer with the president regarding his desire to lead a division to the other side. I recall distinctly every fact of that meellng. I was stated uway in the ilea Room of the White f House at the time J these two men were v conferring. Nothing; could have been pleasant er or more agree able than thisj meeting. They had not met since they ( were political op ponents In 1912, but k prior to that they had had two or Tumulty. three friendly visits with each other. Mr. Wilson had once lunched with Colonel Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill, and when the colonel was president he and his party had heen luncheon guests of President and Mrs. Wilson ot Princeton University on the occa sion of an army and navy game played on the Princeton gridiron. They met in the White House in the most friendly fashion, told each other anecdotes and seemed to enjoy to gether what the colonel was accus tomed to call a "bully time." No Bitterness Manifested. The object of the colonel's call was discussed without heat or bitterness. The president frankly placed before the colonel his own ideas regarding Mr. Roosevelt s desire to serve, and the attitude of the general staff to ward the volunteer system, a system that would have to be recognized If the colonel's ambition was to be real ized. As a matter of fact. Instead of being moved by any ill-will toward the colonel, the Inclination of the president was to overrule the recom mendation of the general staff and urge that the colonel be granted per mission to go overseas. The salutations at the end of the conference were most friendly and the colonel, on his way out, stopped In to see me. He slapped me on the back in the most friendly way, and said: "By Jove, Tumulty, you are a man after my own heart! Six children, eh? Well, now, you get me across and I will put you on my staff, and you may tell Mrs. Tumulty that I will not allow them to place you at any point of danger." President Likes Colonel. Some weeks later I received the following letter from Colonel Roose velt: OYSTER BAY. Long Island, N. Y., April 11, 1917. My Dear Mr. Tumulty: That was a fine speech of Williams'. I shall write him and congratulate him. Now. don't forget that it might be a very good thing to have you as one of my commissioned officers at headquarters. (Continued on Page 12.

Marshal Foch of France today failed to see ex-President Wil son when he called at the home of Mr. Wilson. Brigadier-General Con ner, honorary aids to the marshal, was told that Mr. Wilson's physicians had ordered that it would be Inadvis able for him to receive visitors. The marshal thereupon sent In his card. It was reported that the ex-president had suffered a slight digestive upset. The marshal returned to tha White House for luncheon with President and Mrs. Harding. Close observers of International af fairs saw In ex-President Wilson's failure to receive Marshal Foch a de liberate and calculated purpose. Pri vate advices strengthened their feel ing that Mr. Wilson's Indisposition was diplomatic rather than actually physical. Mr. Wilson has been receiving vis itors dally for a considerable period. He has been receiving numbers of them on some days. Furthermore, In formal calls, such as that which the generalissimo of the allied armies proposed to pay,' it is no uncommon thing for a later time to be fixed if that first chosen Is not convenient No such arrangement was made to day, and there Is every reason to ex pect that Marshal Foch and Mr. Wil son will not meet during the for mer's presence in this country. Those who once knew the mind of Mr. Wilson and believe that they still know it recall that Marshal Foch rep resented to the ex-president both mil itarism and imperialism, and say It was the thought of Foch that caused Mr. Wilson's celebrated comment upon the militarism of France. Those' In Paris at the time of the peace conference remember that Mr. Wilson and Marshal Foch clashed re peatedly. The American felt grate ful for the Frenchman's military ability.- but he held a belief, in which Lloyd George used to share, that sol diers were for war purposes rather than peace purposes, and it used to upset him always to find Foch at the bottom of some new military enter prise which the latter regarded as essential to the welfare of his coun try, but which Mr. Wilson felt was merely sowing the seeds of new wars. . A case in point was the forcible an nexation of the left bank of the Rhine. Another was the exaction of "guarantees" for France which, In effect, amounted to the dismember ment of Germany, first proposed but turned from by the peace conference. It is generally known among those closest to Mr. Wilson that he resents and fears the exaltation of militarism that is involved In the ovations to Marshal Foch. It is for these reasons that deliberate, calculated purpose was read in yesterday's incident. MAIL PUT UNDER GUARD Armed Cyclists Protect Vuluablcs From jHobbcrs. NEW YORK, Oct. 29.

Oct. 19. The Japanese delegation to the 'Washing ton conference on limitation of arma ments and far-eastern questions ap proached the conference "with full hope and confidence" In Its success, they declared In a formal statement to the press lasued Jut after their arrival here today on the liner Kashlma Maru. The statement reads, in part: "There is no denying that the heavy burden under which .industry and human progress are suffering today Is largely due to the enormous expen ditures In the Increasing armaments of the ptesent time. The government and pecple of Japan strongly feel that the most urgent and real need of the world today Is to find a basis for an agreement .among the powers whereby limitation of armaments may be effected.
