Sept. 16. (TJ. P.) Fifty feet of slate and quartz tonight stood between the . 'world and the answer to the question , of whether the 47 imprisoned Argonaut . miners were dead or alive. Sometime tomorrow probably late in the day and approximately 21 days from ' the hour when fire and cave-In imprisoned the night shift at one of .California's most famous gold mines the question probably will be an- Swered. That was the word which went out tonight from rescue headquarters here. Xo formal time was set for the rescue, tut deductions seemed to place It as a possibility of the next 24 hours. JACKSON IS TENSE Jackson, as a result, was tense with excitement. The strain of three weeks of wait ing which a week ago had the old mining camp plunged in gloom, had swung through another cycle and had : carried th no du lace to dizzy heights of expectancy and excitement. Nervous groups stood on street cor ners or knotted In front of the places which onee were saloons, talking ex citedly of the hour of rescue. In the homes of the Imprisoned min ers lamps burned brightly and it was an open . secret that in many of .the i homes slippers were in front of the 'tJftpWA.-f,) beds were spread with new linen In anticipation of the home coming which, is expected tomorrow. SITTTATIOIf TRAGIC To one able to sit by and observe. It seemed as if the tensity and the pos sible tragedy of the situation might prove almost too much for human fiber to endure in case dead bodies, instead w of living mortals, should be given up - when the door leading to daylight is opened. ': Tonight the rescue committee, aug mented by a half dozen nationally known mining engineers and safety ex perts, went into what may be its last conference. Maps were poured over, chemists' reports on analysis of gases were studied, apparatus was Inspected and every detail set for the final dash which will mean liberty If the men are found alive. News sent to tPe surface showed that , the crew on th 3t5:l'.t-foot level was making rapid progress faster than at any time for days.- considering the na ture . of the solid rock formation through which it was driving. VII,L FIXISH SECOXD The second crew on the 3900-foot level was driving forward with equal energy, although it seemed certain that it would -finish second in the raf tn njnr raf.i f Vi o Arrnnflui shaft. , . . - - - . - ' o C- . 1 . . . , guard the mine property and prevent anyone interfering with the work. Un der the direction of the sheriff all roads leading to the mouth of the mine were closed, excepting to rescue workers, mine officials. Red Cross representatives and accredited news papermen. At the head of the shaft a Red Cross hut was ready with hot coffee for the workers, and with first aid equipment for any jP'ho might need it. Not far away were the 47 hospital cOts. ready to receive ' the 47 men should they be alive. - Somewhere, hidden from sight but nevertheless present, were an equal number of shrouds laid in their places w ith a prayer that, they might remain forever useless. No one in the town seemed to sleep tonight. AH was expectancy. For to morrr seemed certain to carry with H ann-wer to. the one big question : Are the miners still alive? Special Polceman Brooks Accused of Automobile Theft Special Policeman W. A. Brooks, No. 6110 41st avenue southeast, for merly a regular' . patrolman on the Portland police force, is In Jail on a charge of auto larceny. His bait has been , fixed at $1000. - Brooks was arrested . Saturday afti ernoon by Patrolmen Gouldstone, Ferry and Abbott of the aato theft bureau, after he is said to have taken - out a new license plate for the stolen machine. The car, belonging to A. W.

Rose Honor Is Bestowed On Bishops Nine New Votaries of Flowers Initiated at The Auditorium; New Bloom Is Christened. Nine new votaries to the queen of flowers were duly initiated as mem bers of the Royal Rosarian organiza tion at a mass meeting held Saturday night at The Auditorium. The new members of the order . were selected from among the 4000 delegates attend ing the triennial General Convention f the episcopal church, and the, cele bration in honor of tne initiates proved a pleasing innovation in the program pf the convention. Preparations for the event had been In progress for several days and, the main auditorium was made fragrant and colorful with thousands of choice roses gathered from private gardens and municipal parks by committees ap pointed by the management of 23 branch libraries of tne city. In addition to the masses of bloom banked about the speakers platform and the throne of the ruler of the Hosarians, boutonn.cres and bouquets were distributed lavishly among the audience. The ceremony of initiation was im pressive in its simplicity and joyous In spirit. The regali of the bishops of the church, the gay uniforms of the Royal Rosarianj and the myriad tints of hundreds of varieties of roses formed a composite of rare beauty. Adoration of Portland's floral emblem was fittingly expressed in the musical program furnished by the 45 members of the Rosarian band. The event was mads memorable among rose culturists by the christen ing of a new bloom propagated by Captain George C. Thomas and the principal speaker of the evening was Bishop Nathaniel Thomas of Wyo ming, who for 20 years was rector of the church in Philadelphia attended by Captain Thomas. ; Three medals were awarded to Cap tain Thomas at the meeting in recog nition of his exploit in producing the best garden variety of rose submitted for inspection last year.

There Are Those Who Declare Governor Lured Hall Out in Order to Split Pierce Support However That May Be, Political Camps Are All in Uproar, Afraid of What May Happen With Charles Hall of Marshfleld slated for a place on the official bal lot as an independent candidate for governor ; with the air full of political rumors and counter rumors floating about that fact ; and with the plain In tent of the statute seemingly defied by the Hall candidacy, the gaping poli ticians are speculating and wondering what the next step in the campaign drama will be, and which direction it will tend. Never before, even in the good old days, has the state faced such a political melange. Ben Olcott Is the nominee of the Re publican primary. He has the support of the Republican state central com mittee and its organisation. He has also, the opposition within his own party ranks of those influences which opposed h'.m in the primary campaign and supported HalL PIERCE STRENGTH OH.OWS Walter M. Pierce Is the nominee of the Democratic party. - He has behind him the Democratic organization, and, if rumor is borne out by execution, will have the Indorsement of the pro gressive party when it meets on Tues day next. He , will : have behind him. outside of his own party also, the Clif ford faction of the Federated Patriotic societies, which, at the primary elec tion, was Inle behind Hall. t Hall defeated-tr the. tvrtmary elec tion as a Republican, now stands again before the voters , tus the independent nomine of "an assembly of 100 elec tors, presumably brought Into being1 by the "Orangemen faction of the Federated Societies, opposed both to Olcott and to Pierce. Before this combination of candida cies, party lines have broken down and ; as the campaign progresses, undoubt edly will be swept aside by the same issues that made the primary cam paign so bitterly fought out between I Olcott and HalL But this time. If Hall i stays in the race, it will be Olcott against Hall and Pierce, for both the latter now divide between them the impulse that swept Hall so close to the Republican nomination In May. SUPPORT DWINDLES Hall was in Portland yesterday, but he was not talking about his future plans. Important business called him here, he said, though he added that before returning to the Coos country he intended to meet with his close po litical friends and advisers here. (Concluded on Pago Throe, Column Two) America Will Keep Hands Off in Turk Scrap, It Is Belief Washington. Sept. IS. (U. P.) The United States is entirely free of any entangling politiial commitments that might involve us in the Near East trouble, and the only policy the ad ministration has with respect to it is to remain free, it was stated to night In a responsible official quarter. The administration has not consid ered officially the possibility of Amer ican involvement, either in the politi cal situation or in a Turko-European war, should that occur. Officials declined to answer ques tions as to the probable course of this government In the event of a war be tween Mustapha. Kemal and European powers upon the ground that such a question Is not even remotely before the United States. Sfate and nary officials disclaimed any Intention of augmenting at this time the naval force now in the Near East waters. The small destroyer squadron now there, under command of Rear Admiral Mark Bristol, Amer ican commissioner at Constantinople, is adequate at present to protect Amer ican lives and property, it was stated. ; Later, under the terms of an inter national relief plan now being worked1 out in conjunction with other govern ments, the United.

Increased Enrollment Keeps Ahead of Millage Moneys; Public Donations Are Urgent. With a contribution of $25,000 from alumni and other citizens of Eugene available to defray expenses of the activity for two years, the University of Oregon yesterday launched a 10 year campaign to obtain gifts from in dividual citizens of the state to aid in providing for the rapid growth of the Institution. "Ten million dollars in 10 years" is the slogan adopted by the campaign organization. President P. L. Campbell made pub lic last night the news of the J25.0O0 donation for campaign expenses, and anounced that on Monday W. K. New ell, former member of the legislature and of the university board of re gents, will take charge of campaign headquarters on the campus. Work on a headquarters building, financed from the fund, will start tomorrow. . TOOZE FIELD DIRECTOR Lamar Tooze, an Oregon alumnus and practicing attorney of McMlnn vllle, will become field director. He Is ' moving to ugene and will devote all of his time to the work for two years. Miss Grace Edging-ton of Hood River will be secretary of the alumni organisation. Last fall, at a meeting of the board pf regents. President Campbell re-; ported the .necessity jf priyts bene factions to supplement state support. He pointed out at this time that the university enrollment was Increasing nearly 20 per cent a year while prop erty valuations, the basis of the mill- age support, nas Deen nearly station ary for some years. The proposed campaign was discussed by the board of regents at the fall meeting and adopted by the alumni at the June commencement. The financing of the first two years of the campaign is made- possible by citizens of Eugene. As soon as they heard an unknown donor had . depos ited "110,000 in cash In one of the local banks, to become available as soon as matched with $15,000 more to be raised in the University city, they contrib uted the fund at once. PBOUEAM PRACTICABLE "Ten million dollars in 10 years" represents a prosram that is perfectly practicable for the University of Ore gon, according to President Campbell. "At first sight the amount may seem large, and, the time short." he said, "but those, alumni and friends of the university who are behind the move ment are convinced that the goal can be attained. Actual donations to the university have already reached a considerable volume without any or ganization or promotion. The gifts of the last two years aggregate not far from half a millidn.

Mob psychology is blamed by the Rev. Dr. William Chauncey Emhardt. field director of the department of foreign-born Americans of the Episcopal Church, for the present holy war men ace In Asia Minor. Dr. Emhardt arrived in Portland Sat urday almost direct from the Near East. But six weeks ago he was in the vicinity of th present strragleaV "Six weeks ago conditions such as this were not dreamed of," he said. "The people were apparently happy, At that time there was hope of victory over the Turks, which I feel possibly would have been accomplished had the Creeks not 4nade their demonstration before Constantinpole. In doing that they drew away some of their best troops and opened the way for the advance which swept over Smyrna. The Mohammedan revival sweeping the Near East appears to me to be the result and not the cause of the onset of the Turks, who are attempting to regain the political and territorial po sition they lost during the World war.

He believed that the idea of putting Armenian children in large encamp ments is right, but holds that only by proper education of thie children in agricultural and business pursuits can America perform a permanent service to them. "The work of salvation from death must be followed by constructive effort." he said, "to upDuild again a virile race of Armenians. Such large encampments are ultimately superior, as far as Armenians are concerned, to the scattered orpha.iages, to which pro-1 tection and but little amojunt of train- I ing is given." Dr. Emhardt was especially ira- pressed with the relief work at Alexan drople, where he found about 20,000 children, housed In tne old Russian barracks. "Nothing could oe more Impressive and encouraging to one who has a real vision of the ultimate outcome of this mission." he said. Through conversation with the peo ple in - charge of orpnanages Dr. Em hardt learned tha- tne Tarks respected up to that time American orphanages, even where they houseo. Greeks. Dr. Emhardt expressed the belief that "their respect for the sacrificial work of the missionaries in charge of the orphanages will prevent them from making any demonstration against them." EMISSAKY OF CHTJKCH Dr. Kmhardt was sent by the pre siding bishop and council of the Epis copal church to develop points of con tact with the churches of Europe-and the Near East, In order to assist -the American church in administrative re lationship with the foreign born in America. He visited lhe important centers in the Levant and had inter views with all the patriarchs of the East Orthodox Armenian Churches, to gether with the metropolitans of Athens and Smyrna and the king of Greece. He was in Tiflis, Russia. after the slaughter of Dzemal Pasha, who had been the chief instrument in the persecution of the Armenians. The Turks, he said, are blaming the Arme nians for Pashas assassination. The importance of Dr. .Emhardt's visit to Portland to that he brought communications from the - archbishop of Canterbury, England, announcing that the urees: ortnoaox church had recognized the validity of the Anglican communion.

The measure, already finally passed on by the house, now goes to President Harding, The bill grants wide powers to the Interstate commerce commission to prevent profiteering by placing em bargoes against dealers making un reasonable profits. This measure Is one of three upon which the administration is .counting to insure an a'dequate coal supply this winter to ordinary consumers at rea sonable prices. . The other two are : 1. The .
