Great Britain's first labor ot- ernment virtually came to an end at 11 o'clock-j tonight when, hy a combination of conservatives and liberal votes, the house of com mons carried a motion demanding that a selection of ibe house in vestigate the action jof the attor ney general.

Campbell, " acting editor of the "Workers' Weekly, charged 1 with Inciting his majesty's forces ta se dition. : ' j The government declined to ac cept the motion and ! treated it as a vote of censure, which. If adopt ed by the house, would involve an appeal to the country against par liament's verdict. j Debate Is Heated i ' Tbe debate was sharp and excit ing, and after it was closured the opposition ' wanted to drop Presi dent Robert S.I Horn's motion of censure and vote on- Sir John A. Simon's amendment, palling for an investigation, j On the govern ment's refusal, to ; accept this course, the house divided on the question as to whether which it should vote oni -i ' By a vote of 359 to 19S it de cided to vote on the Simon am endment. This was equivalent to defeat of the censure! motion, and the Simon amendment became the substantive motion and was car ried. 364 to 19 S. j ' Announcement of the figures was received with loud cheering and counter cheering. The prime minister, Ramsay MacDonald, im mediately. ros an4 said: "In view -of what has happened. Mr Speaker, I move that the house do now adjourn." t - - t 1 Adjournment Carries This was agreed to unanimously. The premier will tte$. the king to morrow and ask for dissolution of parliament.

There is little doubt that tbe labor party and the- government welcome an appeal to the country thus, as tbey contend, thrust up on them ' and are convinced that they will return to the house of commons a much stronger party, even though .they may not com mand a majority in the house over all other parties. - , THE WEATHER OREGON: Generally cloudy, probably showers 3 near the coast; warmer, moderate west erly winds.

History NEW YORK, Oct. 8(By The Associated Jpre'ssr.) r Walter Johnson, the "old master" buckl ed on his armor today in a final fight for the glory of world's se ries victory thatl he has sought for 18 years, but fate, it seemed, and the mighty bats of his foe turned him back. I i Unleashing a furious, relentless attack the Giants battered the great veteran Into defeat for, the second straight time, captured the fifth game of the; series from the Senators by a scoj-e of 6 to 2' and left tonight for Washington with the "1924 world's Championship within their reacji. 3. The Giants, coining back today with the powerful type of. attack that carried the Senators .to tri umph yesterday, now hold a for midable edge of i to 2 in games. They need only one more victory to clinch the series and give their leader, John McGraw, his fourth baseball crown and a new major league record. I ' . Giants Picked to Win The forces ofi McGraw who shares the present record of three world's series victories with Con nie Mack and his Athletics, are heavy favorites tbnight to carry off the major honors, in one of the game's most spectacular ' battles, for today they 'spiked Washing ton's big gun anil left the Sen ators with scattered resources for the rest of the figt. If Art Nehf, McGraw's brilliant southpaw, who was prevented f ijom starting to day's game by a thumb bruise suf fered in his victory: over Johnson on the opening day, la able to take the mound tomorrow, the Giants will have an excellent prospect of ending the series if not, or it Nehf fails, the decision will go to the seventh gamej which also will be played in Washington. Crowds Foi Johnson Through the smoke of today's conflict, Johnson stood out as a gallant but tragic figure. An other, outpouring of 50.000 fans braving the chilliest day of the series, came briefly in the hope Of seeing Johnaoq hang up his first world's series victory. Their sympatnies, wnicn nave Deen wua the Senators thrOugout the New York games of the series were par ticularly evident for Johnson. They cheered hint to the echo fn the early part of the game but as it wore on and Johnson's defeat seemed inevitable they became quieter, realizing fthat "Big Bar ney," one of the. game's greatest idols, was taking the bitterest set back ot his career'.. Johnson took he; punishment administered by 'Che Giants' bats grimly but it was; a sad spectacle to those who recalled his greatness over nearly a sco're of years and his valiant struggle to reach the door that refused to open to him When he knocked j Yet probably no one realized tlje tragedy of it all more keenly than Johnson him self when after "(Goose" Goslin's third "home run of the series had revived Washington hopes in the eighth Inning, the Giants shelled the veteran for three more runs and removed the last uncertainty over. the outcome.? j ' ; Is Kept In Game Under this terrific bombard ment it seemed J foolhardy for Manager "Bucky"5 Harris to keep Johnson in the game, the outcome of which meant so much to the : Senators' championship hopes but the young Washington pilot, ap parently was willing to accept de feat rather than jcapv the climax or the veteran's lait stand by tak ing him from the box. - inen fire Some Say Pierce May Dis regard Petitions and Name His Own Man Uncertainty , continues to hover oyer the pending appointment of circuit' judge by Governor Pierce to fill the place left Vacant In the Marion-Linn county district by the death of Judge George G. Bing ham. Twenty-four hours ago ' It looked as if the post would be landed by either William H. Trin- dle or L. H. McMahan, but now there is doubt relative to these two and It is believed some at torney for whom np plea has reached the governor 1 may be chosen. . J In Trindle's behalf a strong pe tition containing the names of all but four or five of Salem's attor neys was presented to the gover nor Tuesday, and Trindle's chances looked good.. But yesterday Trin die stock : dwindled . somewhat when seven of the attorneys who had signed his petition are said to have withdrawn their names from the paper. However, many church . people and ministers are asking the governor for f the ap pointment or Trmaie. since ne,is known to be in sympathy with the prohibition law and for , law en forcement In general. ' I j Organized labor; and. it is said, a large part of the Grange, are still with McMahan, and, asking the governor to appoint him. Many of McMahan's friends are confi dent the appointment will be ac corded him today. : i But much gossip of a diver gent angle has sprung up. The appointment and election of judges it is urged in a number of quar ters, should not be political. But It often is political. If the ap pointment; in the case at hand is to be along party lines and in consideration of loyalty ; to party and the party's gubernatorial can didate in the 1922 election, it is said John Bayne, prominent Dem ocratic attorney, would be the log ical appointee if the post is to be kept in ; Marlon, county.) ;. Mr. Bayne'a appointment would not.be offensive either to tha element supporting Trindle or that sup porting McMahan. Another name was brought into the gossip yesterday, that of a si lent, Abraham Lincoln, chap .who attends to business all the time, and never goea after office, and one withal whose qualifications for the ljudgship. ia recognized on all sides James O. Heltzel. No movement i has been initiated in Heltzel's behalf, but should the governor take a notion to , disre gard pleas and petitions and name PREPARATIONS MADE FOR ZR-3 I STARTING TRIP Clearance Papers for Giant Ship of the Air Made Out I at Freidricshaf en FREIDRICSHAFEN.

But the physical dinner wasn't patching to the spiritual offerings. The story of the Salem Y, the re cital of Salem's obligations to tht3 state and to its own boys, the op portunity to do a great and un selfish deed for the oncoming gen eration, were the big theme that made a man wish he might Le twins or triplets to do adequately the big job that is set before tL3 building campaign committee.

Mr. Livesley has Un been keenly interested in the Y work, and his heartfelt support has been an inspiration to many others. - "It should be less of a job' to get $200,000 now than, it was to get the $14,000 at the time this old building was bought," said the speaker.

The Y is needed for the salvation of our boys and young men; for the moral good of Salem, and for the civic pride of this, the capital city of a great state. We should be happy to give and to serve. We can raise this needed sum in less than the allotted week. We ought to do It In three days.: if we have the proper vision ot Vhat It means to our community." Paul Wallace, assistant chair- ' man of the campaign, and for many years one of the community warhorses in every civic better ment, spoke briefly on "The Sa lem Y Needs You."

"Cut In this cause, with all this backing and the other support that we know is here, we should feel In spired.
