most narrow escape, lor when she saw
the cloud of rocks and stones coming
toward her she jumped behind a tele
graph pole and the debris showered all
about her. Fatrolman Rudolph, one of
the mounted squad, was in the danger
zone when tho blast was set off, and
escaped injury by galloping his horse in
the opposite ' direction, yet in spite of
that he was showered with dirt. A huge
pile of wood fell inio the street, at the
corner of First and Curry jus ufter
Rudolph passed there.

(United Trem Leaned Wire.)
Los Angeles, Sept. 24. That General

Is In a position financially to carry on
the Mexican revolution Indefinitely was
developed today by the United States
senatorial subcommittee investigating
the alleged promotion In the United
States of Mexican revolutions, com
posed of Senators William Alden Smith
and Fall.
Testimony by five former Chihuahua
officials, ex-Governor Guttterrez, form
er Secretary of State Ponce De Leon,
and three members of the- Chihuahua
congress, was unanimously that in tho
five months of the present revolution
Orozeo or the rebel forces have handled
more than $3,000,000 in Mexican money.
The funds have been raised through
bonds taken up by the merchants of Chi
huahua in lieu of protection; stae
treasury relieved of all moneys; Import
duties at Juarez and In collection of
taxes from railroads.
It Is also estimated that the rebels
have confiscated $550,000 worth of cat
tle and foodstuffs.
"It would seem from the character of
the testimony adduced," said Senator
Fall, "that Orozeo is able to carry the

First Jack K. Hunter, aged 4
years, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. H.
Hunter, 819 Rodney avenue.
Second Lawrence Grimm,
aged 3 years, son of Mr. and

Third Joseph Elmore, aired

Fourth place Walter Edward

Patterson, 386 Park street.
Special prizes of fered by The Journal
for the three ' handsomest babies in
Portland were w-on by boys and tht
youngster wno took fourth place like
wise was a boy. The Judge" insisted
on giving a fourth plare because the
race was so close between the leaders
that only by the strictest interpretation
of the rules could a decision be reached.
The first prize winner. Jack Hunter,
of 619 Rodney avenue, whose father Is
a brakeman on the Southern Pacific,
captures a box at ti.e Heillg during the
present run or "Paby Mine," one of the
greatest laugh provoking farces of re
cent years. Lawrence Grimm of 641
Tacoma street, who took second place,
secures four lower floor seats. Joseph
Elmore Jones of 1547 East Flanders
street, the son of an engineer employed
bv Twohy Brothers, and third In the
race, will be awarded two lower floor
Parenta May Secure Awards.
The parents of the prize winners can
secure the awards by calling at The
Journal's editorial rooms this afternoon
or tomorrow. The tickets are good for
either tonight, tomorrow night or W ed
nesday's matinee.
The Judges were: Mrs. George A
Lovejoy, who until her recent marriage
was Dr. Esther Pohl; Mrs. Robert H.
Tate and O. M. Plummer. All of them
are well known for their deep knowledge
of eugenics. They made their decision
only after each photo had been critically
examined and the points gained by each
contestant scored.
Boys won over girls because all ar
tificialities were disregarded by tho
judges, who, in deciding on the degrees
of prettiness of the hundreds of infants,
as shown by their photographs, got
down to brass tacks and In each case
Judged only the baby. Its clothes, orna
ments, pose, furbelows and other' so
called aids to attractiveness wer
tossed on the Junk heap and In many
cases, militlated against the child's
chances of winning. In short, pictures
of bovs were more natural and gave
opportunities for the best points to
stand out.
Selection on Points Alone.
For Instance, the photograph of a
beautiful little girl was discarded be
cause her hands were hidden by a pair
of kid gloves, nnd the Judges In com
paring her picture with others were
compelled to give preference to rival
contestants on points. Another baby
girTa photo was fembvect 'f torn" the pale
of consideration for 4he reason that part
could be multiplied by scores; they are
cited Bimply to show that many splen
didly appearing babies lost positions be
cause their photographs failed to dls
piay them 'to best advantage.
The Judge's commented on this fact
many times during the hours they
spent comparing , and recomparlng the
contestants' photographs.
The selection of the prize winners
was made strictly on points, as shown
in the pictures.
Chief Foists Considered.
Symmetry of face, figure and expres
sion were the chief points considered by
the "beauty court" which was made up
of three of tho best known authorities
on the science of eugenics in the north
west. "We were only sorry that first prizes
could not have been awarded all the
babies," said one of the Judges. "They
were all fine looking tots. One of our
greatest troubles in working toward a
decision was due to poor photographio
work. We were compelled to put aside
many photographs of children because
the pictures -Were so badly posed that
the babies' best points were not shown,
or were concealed by ribbons and kin
dred adornments. That Is one reason

Murphy declared today he was not

Addressing the students, Wilson said:
"It Is against the law to crowd around
