Cox Will Get
Because of His Record
Ohio's Vote
At Presidential Polls
In November
Governor James 6. Cox will carry
Ohio in; November. He will carry
that state as a result of his record
of achievement as governor, Such
are statements of Milton S. Cox of
McArthur, Ohio, delegate to the late
"Democratic national convention at
Pan Francisco and a recent Portland
1 Visitor. '
He pointed to Governor Coxa friend
ship for labor, his' aid to the farmers
of his native state, his 'influence in
behalf of . progressive legislation, his
abitity to "unite contending forces, and
his stand for law entorcemnt as reasons
for Cox's . continued election as chief
executive of Ohio and his probable se
lection as the choice of the people of
hi state ff r president.
Cox says the present Ohio governor
Is the greatest that ever occupied the
executive chair, that his influence: on
legislation converted his state from one
of the most reactionary into one of the
most progressive in the country, and
.that his stand on prohibition will be
acceptable to every dry adherent In the
United States.
RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT
"His past record as governor puts
beyond the shadow of a doubt Cox's
ability to carry the state . of Ohio in
the November electno." is the state
ment pf the Ohio man. "He has been
friendly to labor, friendly to the farm-
' ers, his activity was responsible for a
new' system bf education, he secured
passage of the first teachers!, pension
law Ohio ever had and the first mothers'
pension law, and he signed the woman's
suffrage resolution within 10 minutes
after Its passage. As a candidate for'
congress. Cox carried a strong Repub-
. lican district by the heaviest plurality
ever given a candidate and was re
elected by an overwhelming majority.
The people of Ohio, regardless of
party, look upon Cox as the best gov
ernor the state ever had. The fact of
his continued reelection is proof of
their faith in him. Only one governor
In history was ever elected three times
before. He was Rutherford B. Hayes,
a Republican, and he became president
of the United States. There are a lot
of people in Ohio who believe Cox will
duplicate Hayes' record."

Society Women 111
With Malady That
: Puzzles Physicians
Cleveland, Ohio, July 24. (I. N. S.
Cleveland's ablest physicians are puzzled
- today over a mysterious malady which
has attacked and made seriously ill 38
society women of this city and its sub
urbs. All attempts at an authoritative
diagnosis have "failed. Physicians agree
the illness is some form of typhoid fever
. but are unable to make definite diagnosis
. as to its exact form or to assign pos
itive cause. Health authorities and pri
vate physicians are continuing rigid in
vestigations. . The 38 women who are seriously ill
and many others who have been made
slightly ill were guests at a ' luncheon
given. June 25 at the home of Mrs.
George S. Case, in Lakejbod, a suburb.
They were served, according to Case,
- wtth sandwiches, ice cream and chicken
- salad.: v . .
The caterer who served the food has
been investigated and approved.
, One theory under investigation is that
: the disease may have been communicated
by some person connected with the serv
ing or preparation of the food who is
what physicians call a "typhoid carrier."

Miami. Cal., "July 24. (U. P.)
The days of the wild West with all
the trimmings came back for a half
hour this afternoon, when a lone
robber on horseback held up four
stages filled with tourists en route
to the Yosemite national park, and
escaped with $300 in money.
The robbery occurred on a narrow
mountain road a snot such as might
have : been picked by any of the old
time stage robbers to hold up the pony
express.
ROCK IN ROAD
The leading stage of a squadron of
four was stopped when it encountered
a rock In the middle of the road. The
driver waited for the second stage and
then the two drivers started moving the
rock. - ,' ' ')
"Throw up your hands quick and don't
lose any time about It." came a voice
over the reck, and they looked up to
see they were covered by a rifle in the
hands' of a sombreroed horseman.
Just then two more stages came up.
Quick as a flash the horseman was 'in
position at the side of the road to cover
them' kll. ' I :'f i t' ?:
"Step lively there" he shouted. "I
ain't goin' to take anything from the
women. - It's just the men's money I
want. .;''... . .j , :' .- , : i
"Here, chuck your purses right there,'
he went on, indicating a spot about 10
feet from ; him. j , ;
MEN DEPOSIT PURSES !
The men formed in line and solemnly
passed by, dropping their purses as they
went like Sunday school pupils puttnig
money in the collection box. t
"There, that's all I want, the. horse
man shouted. "You guys get busy and
clear that there rock out of i the road
and then you can go."
He spurred his horse and was off. :
A half hour later the road was cleared
and at the first opportunity officers were
notified.; ,
A posse is out tonight looking for the

stipulated ihat Poland alone is to be con
cerned and that no interference by any
of the former allied governments will be
tolerated.
MIGHT SOT AGREE
The Polish minister. Prince Casimir
Lubomirski, expressed fear that the
Polish and soviet envoys might be un
able to agree upon terms for an armis
tice. - In a formal statement issued.
Prince Lubomirski declared that Poland
was innocent of aggressive Intent in the
war, and was merely trying to save her
self from destruction. '
Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to Presi

president would-make no comment or
offer in the present situation.
The plight of Poland, which has been
brought about by the armistice, she was
forced to seek as a result of Russian
victories, is irremediable so far as any
physical action by the United States is
concerned. i
This was plainly shown today when
the attitude of this government was
summed up authoritatively j in these
words : . ' .
"If the United States .could assist
physically, well and good, but : i pious
words and sympathetic- platitudes are

Haphazard Methods
In Public Finance
Costly to Taxpayer
By Ward A. Irvine i
At a time when the public gener
ally should be throwing off the bur
den of debt and when financing of all
kinds should be only on a rock
bottom foundation. It is found that
the money problems of public cor
porations in Oregon frequently are
handled in loose and i haphazard
fashion. I
- tit is charged that. warrants often are
issued when funds to redeem them are
not reposing in the treasury, that long
term bonds have been issued without
providing sinking funds, and that of
ficials fool the public as to the cost
of -administrations by unsound methods
of finance. " -
Commissioner A. L. Barbur of Port
land offers ; as a remedy; passage of
definite laws governing financing, es
tablishing a uniform budget system
and i; a simple . system of financing
throughout the state.
"Financing has received very little
attention," he says, "from our legis
lature or from other public officials.
However, there has always been a
great deal of talk about high taxes
and , high expenditures. One of the
leaks had been . through the sale of
long-term bonds and issuing warrants
against funds that were not available.
"The city . of Portland has passed
through this stage of financing, and

Part of the rush was caused by an

With reopening of sales at Associated

Mrs. Theodore Heufert Severely
Injured When She Responds to
Motorman's Warning to Jump.
Twelve Lives in Danger Whn Mt.
Calvary Cemetery Car Gets
Beyond Control on Steep Hill.
A dozen lives were at stake in
the mad dashing of a runaway street
car on the Mount Calvary centetery
line late - Saturday - afternoon, - when
Mrs. Theodore Heufert,' aged 57, 610
Leland street, 'suffered severe In

sengers Jeaped from the uncon
trolled vehicle to a gravel bank be

Rocking and rolling" over - its riotous
route down steep hillside . grades. F.
Bransetter, - the motortnan powerless in
his efforts to control it, the car' momen
tarily, theatened to Jump from its tracks,
When the cry, "jump for your lives,"
came from the motorman he and three
women leaped to the ground from what
seemed a certain death trap.
A mother, carrying an 18-months-old
babe in her arms, followed the lead of
the motorman and Jumped from the rac
ing car. She and the baby were unin
jured. As Mrs. Heufert sought safety
by her jump her daughter, Catherine,
followed. She was bruised, but not in
jured aside from damage to her cloth
ing'4 and the ruination of her shoes.
Mrs. Ed Miller Jr., who lives on the
Barnes road, was one of the passengers
aboard the car. - She did not jump.
SOME. REM AIX IX SEATS
Three women passengers and four chil
dren who were riding on the descending
car when It got beyond control remained
in the car and aside from their fright
they were unhurt. The unidentified
motorman was uninjured.
Mrs. Heufert alighted on a gravel bank
beside the track when she left the car
in her leap for Bafety, H Suf ferine much
pain t she was hurried to xGood Sa
maritan hospital where a fractured left
knee cap and head and body bruises are
Hushing down the Iteep grades the
trolley slipped from its overhead wire
and almost at once. It Is said.- the car
was beyond control of Its motorman
conductor. This Is the explanation of
me runaway offered by Mrs. Miller who
suiierea the wild thrills of the ride.
Xear the first trestle On the route of
its exciting descent to the level of the
city the motorman r found himself : un
able to bold the vehicle.
It rolled and rocked" dizzilv over the
first bridge; and continued gaining -momentum
as It 'dashed down the grades,
Mrs. Heufert declared from her hospital
Deo. - : - .
MOTOEMAS TEllS "WARSIIf G
Over the second trestle, she said. Bran
Lsetter apparently lot hope and - he
yeiieq a warning for his passengers to
jump. He leaped himself, followed - bv
the women,' one of them carrying her
oaoy in ner arms as she Jumped.
The runaway proved a sad climax to
Mrs. Heuferfs mission at Mount Calvary
cemetery, where she and her daughter
had just selected a burial plot in which
to place on Tuesday ;the remains of
1 heodore Heufert, husband of the in
jured woman, who died Friday.
Descending the - several ' precipitous
grades on Us route in the dash down
the hillside the car came to a natural
stop at the .foot of the hills and the
remaining passengers alighted safely
Considering the speed the car attained,
witnesses declare, it is remarkable that
it remained on the rails. That it would
not do so was the thought of the motor-
man, it is said, when he called his warn
ing to - the. passengers - and himself
jumped to the safety of the bank.-
- Bransetter is said to have been on the
Mount Calvary line only three days.
Recently several complaints have been
made about the condition of the track
on the line to Mount Calvary, it is de
clared by residents in the neighborhood.
Too much grease has been applied to the
rails, they report, and that condition.
they believe, may have made the brakes
ineffective when the trolley left its wire

By King W. Lardner i .
New York, July 24. Well, the in
ternational yachting .races is almost
over and they tell mc that Sir
Thomas hasn't
lifted a cup yet,
though we hear re
ports that every
body on the' Oriza
ba done it easily
the first day. If I
was old Sir Thomas
with 'all his money
and influence. I
would go out to the
nearest hardware
store and page myself a pair of oars.
That's the way to ; get somewheres
when you can't afford a taxi or buy
a railroad ticket. :
According to the rules of the inter
national cup races, who ever is chal
lenged has to bring their yacht to the
playing field under their own sails, and
for that reason Sir Thomas had to
sail Shamrock 4 to wherever we are
without outside aid.
SIR THOMAS WARNED
" Well I dont know how lavs or short
it took him to get over here, with that
scow but if he believes in Christmas
and wants to have a tree at the Upton
home s and be there himself, why he
had better get on the board of a sloop
that can get somewhere for Inst, the
leviathan or lmperator or else he wont
be out of the trenches by easter.
A week ago Saturday they called off
the race ; because they wasnt no. wind
this Saturday they called it off because
they had wind, theys no ground in the
world that you cant call a Yacht race
Off On. , :,'A 1
- As for our part wile ' I did i not get
what you might call a thrill out of it.
why still and all I think -we "morning
newspaper guys on board of the Good
Old Destroyer - Semmes t had a good
time though I wouldn'tj hardly 'Call It
healthy. But the chief ' difficulty now
is, how are we going to live on land
in comfort after getting used to a de
stroyer? , well -1 have thought It all
over and in behalf - of the rest of the
boys J will give them a few suggestions
In regard , to what to do.
BROKEir BOCfcER IS SUGGESTED
' The simplest thing is to get a rocking
chair ' with one rocker klnd- of broken
down and set in it- -Off- the porch all
day in calm and you will get pretty near
the same sensation, " Of course if is
understood that you half to get up at
8 A. M. in the morning and pretend like
you was falling on to a tug and then
staggering onto a destroyer aid then
falling into one-of jhe officers berths
and falling "asleep and stay here till
somebody comes in and tells you bow
the race come out.
Several people that knows that; I
never seen an international cup race
before has asked, me to give my im
pressions thereof well boys my impres
sions can be told in words of easy syl
lables. ; It's one long continuous yawn
or gape, and - I only wished that the
Shamrock could of win this trace so they
would half to hold the next one in
Ireland where we dont half to try and

I will bet 5 officers of our good de
