After the American troops have with drawn from Mexico, the Mexican dele gates, say their government will be able to devote all its forces to the ex termination of Villa and other political foes of Carranxa. As for ordinary bandits, they say, the local authorities will be able to stop their depredatlona. Villa, they contend, is not attacking Americana and destroying American property ex cept to wreak revenge upon Carranxa, and possibly to embarrass the, first chief's administration and possibly force intervention by the United States. Carranxa Aid Zs Denied. The Mexicans deny that Carranxa forces have ever helped Villa to escape from the American forces. Such a course, they insist, would have weak ened Carranxa and perhaps helped Vil la to seize the Mexican presidency. One of the chief reasons for the con tinuance of civil war in Mexico for the last years, the commission finds. Is the lack of employment among the lower classes. As soon as one chief baa tri umphed he turns loose a lot of idle soldiers. Nearly always these soldiers are heavily stricken to begin with and, having no other way to live, they eag erly rally round the standard of the first highwayman who promises them a new opportunity to kill and steal. In considering what to do with this clasa the American delegates have be thought themselves of the plan by which the union army was returned :o the ways of peace after the civil war. To the soldiers of the north allot ments of land were made in Ohio and other staes. Many of the most pros perous families of the middle west. It was stated, have sprung from thoae early soldier-farmers. The American delegates have learned from the experience of the Indians of the United States that lands given to ptople little used to the ensnarements cf modern life should be strictly safe guarded. Peon Should Be Protected. Accordingly, the peon, like the full blood Indian of Oklahoma, it is. sug gested, should not be able to sell his property or lease under a certain fig ure. The example of the American In dian Is particularly well known to Iranklln K. Lane, chairman of the American delegates, as he Is secretary of the Interior, which department has control of the Indian office, i The commission is In receipt of Aumerous letters from Americans pro testing against the confiscation of their property by Mexican tax collectors. They say that they are first ordered to pay a tax which is practically a runsom. If they can possibly pay . it, tuey are soon "taxed" again. When finally unable to pay the final levy, tl ey are forced to surrender all their worldly goods and flee. It Is thehope of the American dele gates that the conference will lead to a court claims at which Americans who have suffered suqh abuses may again regain possession of their former holdings. If the Injury to their properties equals what a just and fair tax would have been all liens shall ba wiped out. Before this tribunal Americans also Khali have the right to lay the foundation for claims against the Mex- lean government where such action -a Justified. At the meetings of the commission the Mexicans have yet made no formal Strain or Sprain no more for our hand-made, others ask for machine-made stock, which often aggravates the trouble; puts the pressure in the wrong place; looks good, but doesn't support or strengthen the limb.

Nevertheless, .Wall street bankers have been ap pealed to by Mexican agents who want a $100, 000,009 Issue floated. Believing therefore that the question of a loan will finally confront them, the American delegates have been care fully analysing the finances of Mexico. They find that a large proportion f Mexico's income is already set aside to meet the $100,000,000 loan obtained from the French under Huerta. Qther revenues also have been tied up to meet other obligations. Accord ingly it will b necessary to devite means of raising money by different means. A new tax system must ac cordingly be evolved, the proceeds cf which will be made a sinking fund for the new loan. In the discussion of the various plans to solve the border problem, the American delegates are availing them selves of the reports of the war de partment, as well aa special agents like John Linn Rodgers and Stephen Bonsai, who are attending the confer ence. Monday the American commission ers expect general Tasker H. Bliss, assistant chief of staff, to come to New London to assist them. At that time the next meeting of the confer ence will be held. Tent City for Girls Who Work Provided Multimillionaire Who Built City Por "Widows and Orphans Oomes to Be lief of Working Olris. Tulsa, Okla.. Sept. S. (U. P.) Charles Page, multimillionaire oil magnate who built a town Sand Springs exclusively for widows and orphans, today completed a tent city near here for working girls and pro vided a free railroad on which to get them to and from it every day. Page built Sand Springs and gath ered widows and orphans from throughout the country to populate It because he decided, when he was a poor boy trying to make a living for his widowed mother, that if he ever got rich he would do Just that. Hs built the tent city because he thought living in houses in the summer time unhealthful for working girls. More than 100 Tulsa girls are living there now. The tents are 11 by 14 feet, floored, and boarded on the sides a distance of four feet, with collapsible canvas tops. Two girls occupy one tent. The tent streets have gas plates every few yards, so the girls may cook. There is fresh water and at night arc lights and watchmen guard the town. There Is a free bath house for the girls, and they have all the privi leges of the park's concessions. Girls who heretofore had to quit their work In the intense heat of sum mer are working all day in a temper ature of more than 100 and bearing up under It. Even some of the girls from wealth ier families of Tulsa made appli cation for tents, but without success, the one and only requisite being that a girl is working for her living. The plan works so splendidly that Page is contemplating the building of 200 more tents for next year. Numerous economics ere claimed for a new automobile that can be run by gasoline or electricity or a com bination of the two. hand-fitted irarmtnts than Our prices are of acceptance at Shadow Lawn, 1NERAL AT ATTRACTS ATTENTION Samples of Rich Tungsten Ore Are Added, Which Were Sent From Southern Oregon Of growing interest and importance is the exhibit of ores and general min erals at the Oregon building exhibit room, under the auspices of the Ore gon bureau of mines and geology. Min ing men in large numbers called dur ing the week to lnvpect the display and locate on the large relief map that is a feature of the exhibit the approximate location of mines that produced the samples shown. Several samples of rich tungsten ore were added during the week sent by Director H. M. Parks, who lc now in southern Oregon examining the rich copper and tungsten deposits. The samples came from Josephine county, and are knowji as sheelite, or calcium tungatate. Heavy demands for tung sten since the opening of the European war have sent the price up, until It is now quoted around 1 per pound of 60 per cent concentrate. These are the first tungsten tamples to arrive here, and already they have been examined with Interest by a num ber of mining men. The ore occurs with quarts, and is of a light Irown waxy color. Because of the uncertain ties regarding the continuity of the present high prices, the mining opera tions so far have been limited, al though a number of excellent pros pects have teen opened up. DEVELOPMENT WILL START Long-known deposits of chrome iron on Canyon mountain in Grant county are about to be developed and marketed by the Pamish company of San Francisco, according to advices received here by mining men.' It is said that already 60,000 tons have been blocked out and that shipments to San 'Francisco will begin shortly. The chrome Iron occurs on property held by Joe Beggs and Charles McCor kle of Canyon City, who located the ore body about a year ago. The con struction of a road from Canyon mountain to the railroad at Prairie City to haul out the ore has already been undertaken. The main gre body is at the head of Quartz gulch. Uncle Sam Ready To Fight the Bakers Chicago, Sept. 9. Uncle Sam indi cated tonight that he is keenly inter ested In the proposed increase in the price of bread. Declaring that an attempt by mem bers of the National Association of Master Bakers to follow out "recom mendations" made by the executive committee of that body to Increase the price of bread will constitute a viola tion of the anti-truat law. Federal Dis trict Attorney Charlea F. Clyne aa.il tonight that he will start an immediate probe If be fing bakers are adopting the "recommendations,. For the baker to follow one an other's lead in raising the price of bread, even without entering into any speclflo agreement about the price will constitute a violation of the anti-trust laws," Bald Clyne. "Any such device as that proposed to the Master Bakers yesterday that they raise their prices 'voluntarily' after one in their community takes the lead, is as much 4 violation as a written agreement to control prices, providing etner lacts concerning tne nign prices of raw materials show manipulation." Woman Is the Only Candidate in Jlace Denver. Sept. 9. (IT. P.) Because of a single woman the Progressive party jTiachinery in Colorado was not scrapped before the coming election.

New fork. Sept. 9. Roger W. Bab- son of Boston, a lifelong Republican 'and America's foremost statistician and financial expert, announced today ' that he would vote and work for the ! reelection of President Wilson. "It is because Mr. Wilson seems more interested than Mr. Hughes m the moral aide of such nutations as ! banking, shipping, railroading, tariff. labor and relaUons with other nations that X now Intend to vote for him in November," said Mr. Babson. Mr. Babson is more widely known in the United Stales to readers of mag aslhes and students oC economics than any other writer on finance and busi ness. Sas International Imputation. He has an International reputation as an authority on foreign trade rela tions. He rendered very distinguished service as a member of the Pan-American financial congress, held in Wash ington in May, 1915. His statement In full Is as follows: "1 am for Woodrow Wilson, not be cause he is a Democrat, for I a in not a member of the Democratic party. I am for Woodrow Wilson, not because of business reasons, for Mr. Hughes' policies would temporarily bring me greater profits. I am for Mr. Wilson because I believe that he has tried to apply the Oolden Rule o solving greater national and international problems. Moral Issue Paramount. "Any man, whether Republican or Democrat, who will attempt this will have my hearty support. Moreover, I believe that if thi moral Issue in volved in the election were cleaily put forth by his campaign managers he would be sure of reelection, in most things President Wilson has already succeeded. In some things hie work ts incomplete. But in all cases I be lieve he has stood for the kindly, the humane and the Christian principles. "Should he be defeated It would be a great blow to the cause of righteous ness. 'Of course, ray associates say, The Golden Rule is all right in the ory.'but it is no good in Business. Mr. Wilson's idea may be Humane, but they are not practical.' Old Xdne uetnods r allure. "My answer simply is that this re mains to be seen. "Certainly the old line methods of diplomacy and government have not worked out very well where they have been In operation the longest time, namely. In Europe. The so-called Ins first' patriotism and the "national honor policy, for which some of Mr. Wilson's opponents appear to stand, are among the fundamental causes of the present European conflict. Person, ally I believe that the more Christian I.tllcy for which Mr. Wilson stands will be found to be much more satis factory. . "Certainly I would like to see it tried out for four years longer; more over I believe that a majority of the reople of this country In their hearts feel likewise. legislation Praised. "The federal banking law. the eatah- lishment of the parcel post, the enact ment of fti Philippine iaw, the farm I loan law, the shipping law, the child ! labor law and various other measure3 I are distinctly human measures or j measures in the interests of the weak ' rather Uian of the strong. On the basis of immediate results. I reeogniie that some of the bills do not appear to be good business"; but I cannot help feeling in the depth of my soul that they are in the interests oi me greater majority. If so, they will ultimately be of benefit to us all. rordgn Appointments Lauded. "During the past four years my busi ness nas taKen me to many foreign j countries. While traveling I have been especially impressed . with tbe amba. Isadora, ministers and other foreign ap ! pointees of President Wilson, whom 1 have met. I grant that these men nuy : be repugnant to the old school and In I their eyes may be 'unfit,' but no one can criticise tbe character of these men. j "Every one of them I have met is ' overflowing with a desire to be of service. Not to a few friends, but lo all people, whether rich or poor. Fur thermore I have found these menfull of the vision that the only way the United States can permanently estab- lish its Influence abroad is to help ' other countries in their own unhamp- erea aeveiopment. They Apply Golden Rule. "One of these appointees said to me: 'I am not much of a linguist, but I do understand the golden rule and I am trying hard to apply it in my dealings with these foreign people.' "Personally. I feel it my dutv to : back up any administration which is ' working wtth this spirit.

I felt that we were very fortunate in having two mch good men as nominees. In common, however, with many ether people, I have been very much dis appointed in his recent utterances. Contrasted with Mr. Wilson's, they sound distinctly selfish and narrow minded. "The future safety of this country, depends not upon building a Chinese wall about ourselves, but upon helping otner nations Into a position where they will not have an objective in at tacking us.

COPES ARE RECEIVED OF CORRESPONDEI Aman Moore Obtains Docu ments to Seek Proof of Ex istence of a Trust. Following the filing of motions and affidavits calling for a dismissal of the action started by Aman Moore, vice-president of the Oregon Portland Cement company, against other offi cers and directors of tbe company and against other Pacific coast companies. Coy Burnett, attorney for Moore, and Moore himself visited the offices of the cement company In the Wilcox building Friday and took copies of correspondence. This correspondence they expect to use in trial of the suit to prove that a "cement trust'' does exist. Letters and telegrams exchanged by the various cement companies of tne coast were copied. at Moore's demaud as evidence of the allegations that on understanding exists among the cement companies and that the selling terri tory has been divided. One of the charges made in a motion filed in federal court calling for missal of the Moore suit was that Moore did not represent the company when he brought the suit in the name of the company and that as a matter of fact the directors had not only not authorised the bringing of action but had expressed views opposing such an action, Mr. Burnett -said last night that, while Moore was Justified in suing in the name of the company, his conten tion would stand even were his suit filed as an individual stockholder. Burnett said the directors held a meeting the afternoon of the day the suit was filed and that Moore informed them of his action. He said all the directors were present except R. V. Butchart, president of the company, and that no expression of opposition to the suit was voiced. The only ac tion taken, he said, was a decision not to institute any further proceedings until after the meeting of the stock holders on September 20. Several of the directors, he said, naturally would be opposed to making themselves defendants in litigation and as a matter of fact these directois were defendants. Mr. Moore's con tention is. said Burnett, that th de fendant directors have disqusUf i themselves from serving as dirix-lori by their acts with references tc -am pames that are supposedly competi tors. It Is said that the data secured by Moore and Burnett in their visit to the cement company offices probably will be used In testimony they expect to give before the federal grand Jury when it sits to investigate the alleged existence of a cement trust.
