I Bhall, therefore, leave thts evening for Oregon to participate In the campaign. 18 Months' Continuous Session. "Congress has been in continuous session,, since President Wilson's in auguration and in that time It is safe to say that more constructive legisla tion has been passed than at any time In the history of the United States. Measures which have been promised from time to time by partleB in the past for the relief of the people of the country but which have not been rasned heretofore, have been taken up l'.v the president and congress within tne past 18 months, considered, dis cussed and placed upon the statute hooks. it has been an administra tion of wonderful achievements. All partioa during the past 12 years have, in their platforms, made promises to revise the tariff and to legislate upon the subject of the currency so as to protect the country from such panics as occurred In 1907. Our Republican friends, taking advantage of the fact that their platform of 1908 did not say whether the, tariff should be revised upwards or downwards, passed the i'ayne-Aldrtch bill of 1900. which re vised the tariff upward in violation of me aemanas or the American people The Wilson administration has carried o.ut the platform pledges of all parties and has revised the Uiriff downwards. o that In the ordinary course of things the people will shortly begin t realize some advantage from the removal of protective duties which the conmimer nas oeen compelled to pay. .Currency Legislation a Monument "The legislation of the present con gress upon the currency, the creation of the federal reserve board and the t amendment of the VreeJand currency bill will practically make a money pajiic like that of 1907 an impossibil ity. These two measures in themselves re a monument to the ability of the Democratic party to engage in con etrtictive work, twit this .is not all. "'The enactment of the trades com mission bill, with powers and duties to inquire into and investigate wheth er or not Individuals and corporations are engaged in business in violation of the Sherman anti-trust laws, and . the anti-trust bill, which has JuBt been enacted supplementary to the Sher man antt trust law, are magnificent acts of constructive legislation. 'The one declaration in the recently passed anti-trust bill, 'That the labor of a human being is not a commodity or article of commerce," takes labor out of the category of a mere com modity where plutocracy and greed t have heretofore placed it, and is worth ; all of the money that has been ex - pended during the past 18 months while congress ha been kept in ses sion, even if nothing else had been uune. Significance of Alaskan Bill. "I might refer to other great pieces , of constructive work performed by congress, notably the Alaska road bill, which will have the effect ot developing the resources of the new America in the north west and save the epletidjd resources of that territory from Guggenheim grasp and greed. The future possi bility of this great territory and Its effect upon Oregon and the northwest it is impossible to foresee. The S35.000.- 000 appropriated for the construction of this government owned road will be money well expended to develop a virgin territory still owned and con trolled by the people themselves.

Faced with grand Jury Indictment ' cnatf ' the murder of Mrs. Eloise; Jelms Den nis and her sister, Beatrice Nelms, Vic tor B. Innes of Portland this evening reiterated his" expressions -of innocence. "I had nothing to do wItK the dis appearance of the two girls," said, "other than that I do not care to dis cuss the matter. The facts In the case will probably come out at the habeas corpus hearing set for next Tuesday." When Innes heard the grand jury had indicted him he asked anxiously: "Did they indict my wife, tooV j "When informed that she had been indicted he said nothing. Mrs. Innes appeared visibly agitated at the news but would make no statement. Judge R.' H. Ward, counsel for Innes, ,saia that he would press the habeas corpus hearing next Thursday. He manifested little surprise that Innes had been Indicted. Innes" and his wife ' are indicted Jointly on a charge of murder and on an additional charge of conspiracy to murder the two girls. It is charged that the Nelms sisters were murdered In Bexar county, Texas, on or about June 20. The bodies, it h? alleged, Were dis posed of with a meat grinder and with corrosive acids.

ROUMANIA S KING DIES FROM EXCITEMENT OF THE EUROPEAN CRISIS Carlos, Aged 75 Years, Suc cumbs; Recent Quarrel Causes Breakdown, (PriSted Press Teased Wire.) London, Oct. 1. The Ticmmania le gation tonight officially announced the death at Bucharest at 5:30 this mornjng of King Carlos of Roumania. Severity-five years of age and of late In poor health, his death Is du to excitement engendered by the recent break with his ministry over Rou mania's position in the European war. A week ago there were re ports' that the monarch contemplated abdication. King Carlos was a Hohenzollern and thoroughly German In his views and ; sympathies. His people wer: essentially Slavic. Both Austria and France sought to draw the little country Into the war. It was than that the king made known his pro German sentiments. The populace In Bucharest at that time was clamor ing for war. The Roumanian minis try was a unit in declaring that Rou mania should stand with Englani, Russia and France. The death of the king at this time, it is believed here means that Ron mania wil throw her fortunes with the allies.. If so her troops, admittedly the best drilled of the southern European principalities, will be of great as sistance to Servia against Austria. NOISELESS AIRSHIPS Paris. Oct. correspondent 10.

(By the cal ender, August 9 by the heat) This miracle team from Boston fought the Athletics to a standstill today, stopped their supposed irresistible attacks by superb pitching and brilliant fielding, and after they had broken the spirit and the hopes of Philadelphia they made one run, and won the game, 1 to 0. There is no discounting the fact that spirit and fire and sheer con fidence triumpned over the superior strength and ability of the world's champions.

King Albert, at army of Belgium, which he led out bottled up when it was seen that the nevitable, is reported to be in a critical situation. He is being pursued by a large detached force of the German division of the besieging army under General von Veseler, which is attempgng to cut him off along the Dutch border and force him either to facojbattle in the field agianst overwhelming odds or seek refuge in Holland, fehere to be interned during the remainder of the war. Queen Elizabeth of Belgium arrived in S'ngland today, landing at Folkestone from Dunkirk. Her movements were guarded with the fjrictest secrecy. The pur suit of the king and the gallant defenders Antwerp developed when a body of Germans in great strength essayedja crossing of the Scheldt river near Termonde. They threw temporarvspontoons across the river. and despite the raking fire from the Belgian trenches succeeded in es tablishing themselves on the other side, whire they were hastily re formed and took up the march in a northeasterly direction towards Sart Nicholas, 26 miles southwest of Antwerp an but five miles from the Dutch frontier. jj ; AIM TO PREVENT BELGIANS JOINING ALLIES. The Germans evidently were bent on tAning the rear of the re treating Belgian column and eitfcr forcing a Eattle or driving them into Holland, and in any event presenting the elgians from effecting a juncture with the allies in France, who are Jihing steadily toward the Belgian border. Should the Belgians appear ehind the German line in France, they would be able to seriouslbiMswjGiBcjal von Kluck's ' forces. I i . ' . In their rear the flying columns of Belgians and pursuing Prussians left a once beautiful city, the pride of Belgiutfi two-thirds in ruins. The evacuation of Antwerp came only after it ws seen that further resist ance would meanthe utter destruction of thcNcity by the ruinous fire of the giant howitzers which had been pouringbcir deadly rain of shells into it without surcease for three days, the climax of a ten days' siege. Fires still rage unchecked in many partspf the city. The loss of life has been appalling. Scores of beautiful buildings, monuments for cen turies, have been razed or scarred. The Hotef ide Ville, a wonderful ex ample of Renaissance type, dating from 156j,i suffered severely. Some reports say that the Notre Dame cathedral, dating from 1352, a magnifi cent structure, has been seriously damaged. ilOthers say it escaped un scathed. Fugitives report the plight of thcpr.efugees desperate. Aged and infirm lie by the roadside, worn out anp ;helples, where they col lapsed. Women and children are forced to lk to a refuge in Holland. BELGIANS' SURRENDER UNCONDITIONAL. The Germans are in complete occupation of the city. The actual surrender took place at 2:30 Friday afternoon. At 9 o'clock the flag of capitulation was raised where the war flg had been flaunted from the tower of the cathedral. $ Burgomaster de Vos, accompanied by Ajlerman Louis J'ranck, met General von Veseler, commanding the besie'Jers, at the Berschem gate and the city was surrendered unconditionally. At 2:30 the German marched in through the suburb of Berschentj- : Military critics today discussed the posatility of the retaking of Antwerp by the allies. It is an accomplish!: fact that permanent for tifications in an exposed position are easy prf for modern artillery.
