Thursday, November 9, 1016 FAGE EIGTIT ASITLAVD TTDIXGB REPUBLICANS GAIN SEATS IN HOUSE Returns Indicate Democratic Majority Will be Wiped r- Out. New York, Nov. A republican majority of about 30 in the house of representatives, and a largely-reduced democratio majority in the senate, were indicated by early returns. Con servative estimates, which would have given the republicans 217 members as against 21 i democratic members, bad been modified by the returns from New York state alone to give the re publicans 220 members. Returns from Illinois indicated. Judging from the figures on the presi dential race, that the republicans would make substantial gains in the house. It will probably not be definitely known Just what the status of the senate is until complete returns from all states are compiled, but early re turns showed at least one gain which had not been counted as sure by the republican leaders. Scattering re turns from Maryland indicate that J. Krwin France, republican, may beat David J. Lewis. If the early returns should be borne out, the republicans will have gained seats east of the Mississippi in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio and two in Indiana, a total of six seals. The probable loss of one in Delaware offse's the September gain in Maine, so that the republicans will only have to gain two more seats for a tie in the upper house. Republicans have high hopes of gaining seats in the senate in Mis souri, Nebraska, Montana, Nevada and Arizona. The republican weak spots are North Dakota, Wyoming and New Mexico.

Wilson's lead in Greater New York was ubout 40,000, while Hughes led upstate by 104,000. The democrats made gulns in sev eral industrial cities upstate, but the country districts remained overwhelm ingly republican. The most notable Increase in the democratic vote was in Buffalo, second largest city in the state, which Hughes carried by only 3637, although it was carried by Whit man for governor two years ago by more than 19,000. Slight democratic gains also were shown In Rochester, Syracuse and Albany, the banner re publican cities of the state. From returns received it was ap parent that Charles S. Whitman had been re-elected governor over Samuel Seabury, his democratic opponent. William M.

The prohibition leaders asserted they were certain to win In four of these, Michigan, Mon tana, South Dakota and Nebraska, with excellent chances of making gains in the others, principally Flori da and parts of Missouri.

V-Reports from all over the state indicate that a heavy vote has been cast, with Pres ident Wilson maintaining a consistent lead over the republican nominee, Charles Evans Hughes.

The republi cans will have two more in John F. Miller, from the first district, and Tom Corkery, in the fifth. The cities seem to be Inclined to Wilson, although giving the republican nominees for governor and senator good leads. In Seattle 190 voting machines were used for the first time, and the results were attended with the usual confu sion. Some voters took as long s 10 and 12 minutes in spite of the fact that the regulations gave the election officials authority to order the voter, out unless he could mark his vote In two' minutes. Where voters had stud ied the operation of the machines be fore they entered booths the results were satisfactory. ;t Three Days' Offering Atoning Theatre Thursday. William H, Thompson, the veteran Ince player, and Marjory Wilson will appear on the Vining screen tonight in "The Eye of the Night." In this production Thompson plays the part of an aged keeper of a lighthouse In a small village on the coast of Eng land, and his characterization Is said to be one of the most impressive of its kind ever seen on the screen. "The Eye of the Night" narrates the simple story of a slavey's mis doing, of her struggle for existence among the narrow-minded bigots In the town and of her ultimate discov ery that the old keeper of the light the only mortal who forgives her sin and receives her into his care is her father. It is made powerful by the pathos of its situations and is agreeably relieved by the Intermit tent touches of quaint comedy. Friday, The young people of the Episcopal church get a share of the proceeds of Friday night's show at the Vining and will contribute It for the relief of the suffering Armenians.

Sat unlay. Lovable little Dorothy Glsh comes Saturday night in a captivating Tri angle drama, "The Little School- ma'am." The regular company of child screen players employed at the Tri angle-Fine Arts studio was augment ed to twenty for Dorothy Gish's new play, "The Little Schoolma'am," to be seen here next Saturday. To han dle twenty active youngsters, some of them new to screen work, In diffi cult ensemble scenes is no light task, but it was precisely the thing that appealed most to the Franklin broth ers, co-directors of the production, who are famous for their work with children. They revelled In it, as the results make plain. HUGHES' MAJORITY IN ILLINOIS 150,000 Chicago, Nov. ' Illinois is back In the republican column, and by a ma jority sufficient to dispose of any grounds for argument. Hughes has carried the state by at least 150,000. Frank O. Lowden, for governor, has defeated Edward F. Dunne, the demo cratic incumbent, by about the same figure. The outstanding surprise in Illinois, more especially in Chicago and other big industrial centers, was the vote for Hughes by the workmen. Democratic leaders had confidently expected that the labor vote would go practically solid for Wilson and Dunne. Repub licans would not concede this claim but expected a majority of the work ing people's votes, especially the labor union element subject to the Influence of Gompers, would swing to Wilson. To tha surprise of managers on both sides, the labor votes appear to have gone to Hughes. This explains why Chicago has given Hughes a majority, when al calculations were based on Wilson carrying the city by at least 60,000. Still another surprise was the big vote given Hughes by the women of the state. Democratic managers had claimed they were sure of a big ma jority of the women's vote on the "he kept us out of war" argument. Repub lican managers admitted this would have its effect, especially upon women whose husbands and sons were of mili tary age or who would be subject to call In case of a war a few years hence. The returns show that the women of Illinois look at conditions from practically the same viewpoint as the men. They appear to have gone along with the men and the sole result la a greatly augmented total vote for the state, with no change in the political complexion.

High Praise tor Grants Passf Sugar The reports coming from the sugar factory are that the Rogue valley beets are exceptionally high in sugar content. This is not the evidence only of isolated tests of a few sample beets, but is the real test of the fac tory run, carloads of beets being turned into a warehouse full of su gar. The sugar Ib pronounced of the highest grade. The factory people are expressing their satisfaction with the quality, 'and samples distributed around town have brought the greatest praise. Grocers state that the grain of the sugar is much finer than usual, while its color is as white as driven snow. The factory across the river Is as good as money and skill can make it. No better beet grows than the product of the Rogue. The combina tion could not be other than the best sugar upon the market. Grants Pass Courier.

SCOTT, General Passenger Aent, Portland, Oregon J Southern Pacific Lines Oregon Medical School Growing University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore. Favorable progress is being made in the acquisition of funds for the first unit of the new medical building of the University of Oregon medical school at Portland. An ap propriation of $50,000 was made by the state legislature in 1915, contin gent upon the raising of $25,000 by the medical school itself. A $75,000 building is thus assured now, but It is the desire of Dr. K. A. J. Macken zie, dean, and of the faculty to con struct a building much more ade quate, to cost about $150,000. Two full-time physicians have been added to the medical factulty this year: W. F. Allen, A. B., M. S., Ph. D., as professor of anatomy, and Frank li. Jlenne, B. S., M. D., as assistant professor of pathology. Dr. Allen was formerly on the anat omy staff of the University of Min nesota. His researches have contrib uted substantially to the science of embryology. Dr. Menne was former ly instructor in pathology in Rush Medical College and house surgeon in the Presbyterian Hospital, Chi cago. The laboratory departments have spent about $5,000 on additional equipment this year; the clinical de partments have established a clinical laboratory In St. Vincent's Hospital In connection with wards to which senior medical students are now giv en access in groups of two; plans are practically completed for a great in crease to the library. The medical school this year for the first time requires for entrance two years of work in a university ac credited ny the University of Oregon, and work has accordingly begun with a smaller but unusually good type of student body. "High-grade medical schools hav long since ceased to seek large en rollments. The sole purpose in the J admission of students Is not to aug iment numbers but to select quality,"' (said Richard B. Dlllehunt, assistant dean. Oregon has the only medical school In the Pacific northwest, and the fac ulty is endeavoring to make it serve the needs of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
