Several weeks there have been reports
telling of the appearance In various
parts of the British West Indies of a
submarine said to resemble th Ger

'be the Nautilus, a submarine' owned
by a film company recently used In
picture production, which was en
route to Miami, a.. in tow of the
yacht Ranger, and was going thence
to New York.
"Because of her supposed resem
blance to the submarine Bremen, the
British authoritleH made those In
charge return to Nassau, where they
took control of the craft and warned
II. II Van Loan, an American In
charge of the expedition, that if ho
moved the Nautilus again lie woult
be arrested and thrown into prison.
"He was taken before Governor Wll-

the calls made upon. them.
Calls are being received daily from
all parts of the state for Wilson but

buttons broadcast to people who have
not asked for them, with the request
that they be distributed. They are
only sending them out when asked for,
and the distributers are giving them
to tlrose who seek them because they
are active suporters of President Wil

Hughes Forces Win
A Doubtful Victory
Wilson Given an Awful Beating In
Building' Where Republicans Have
Their Headquarters. ,'
President Wrilson today received an
awful beating in the Yeon building
when the results of the straw ballot
which has been boosted by Elmer E.
Amidon, the Republican county cen
tral committee and others of the en
thusiastic Hughes men of that pala
tial edifice, were counted.
The Teon building cigar store has
been conducting a straw ballot for the
past week. When the Daupta were
counted today ,at noon, the results
showed Hughes had received 608 and
Wilson 367. a majority of 141. The
ballots also gave Lafferty 147 votes,
John A. Jeffrey 147, and C N. Mc-
Arthur 618, giving MCArtnur a piu
i rallty of 371 and a majority of 224.
! The result of the vote is, or course.
not significant of anything except the
failure or Mr. Amiaon ana nis menus ,
to boost the margins wider. The Yeon
building houses the Republican coun
ty central committee, from which Mr.
Amidon and others have been directing
callers to the ballot box during the.
past week. f
Not only has a campaign been made
to boost the Hughes vote, but it is re- '
rorted that many of the more enthusi
actio Hughes supporters "double
shot" the box by voting early in the '
morning and again late in tho after
noon when different men were in
charge of the cigar store, In this way
circumventing the efforts of the pro
prietors who had intended to conduct
a fair ballot.

about six weeks ago," he added sig
nificantly, "and conditions have
changed materially since then."

"Seattle has gained the Impression
that Portland la in a bad way, finan

believe Portland Is a whit worse off

Defend Marastoni.

Portland last night, held to lay plans
for the defense of Joseph Marastoni,
Italian of 344 Second street, who was

and ' take his ' case through all the
courts to the state supreme court, in
case he is convicted. The meeting
was far from tranquil. Hours won
spent in wrangling about who should
handle the case, and those interested
were finally requested to take money
contributions to finance the case to
Attorney Ferrara's office.
The agitation grows out a statement
credited to District Attorney Wal

repudiated by him. to the effect that
home manufacturers of wine, for the
consumption of their own household.
would not be prosecuted under the pro-
momun law.

A, H. Edlefsen. Who Was Lost
Recently on Mountain, Dis
cusses Possible Dangers,
Out of the fog and the blizsard that
raged around him and his wife while
they were lost on Mount Hood a few
days ago, A. 11. Edlefsen found a
means that he hopes may prevent
others from going astray on the great
peak where he so nearly lost his Ill's.
In a letter to Frank Branch Riley,
president of the Masamas. Mr. F.dlpf
sen suggests that a tower be built at
the timber line, with a horn or hell
surmounting it. This, he believes,
would be a means of guiding climbers
to the proper trail on descent and be a
signal should any lose their way.
Mr. Edlefsen Bays the United States
forest rangers concur with him lir this
suggestion.
"Although I am not used to the
ascending of peaks," Mr. Pdlefsen
writes, "it appears to me that Mount
Hood from Government camp is very
accessible and as your organisation en
courages the enjoyment of God's won
ders in the great out-of-doors .of. thin
Incomparable scenic western countiy
of ours, 1 am presuming that you might
take action on my suggestion.
"If a signal tower cannot be had
from the forest service, 1 believe It
would pay tourists' interests to plaoe
one there because It would reduce the
risk of climbing our sentinel of the
Oregon country and encourage very
very many people to enjoy the grand
eur of Its view.
"I have no excuse to offer for not
waiting for our guide but a signal
station such as Is used on ships, or
similar device would have called us
home the first night before the blizzard
set in on the mountain."
A new rear light for automobiles is
equipped with an alarm that sounds
a signal if it be extinguished acci
