EX-KINO MANUEL IS
OF LEGAL AGE TODAY
London, Nov. 15. Don Manuel,
one-time king of Portugal, who has
taken refuge on the Duke of Orleans'
estate In Worcestershire, is today cel
ebrating his twenty-first birthday. The
former severeign does not attain his
majority under the most favorable
circumstances, but those who claim
to know declare that he is much hap
pier In his exile than he ever was as
the ruler of the nation . Manuel, al
though he has now arrived at the age
of manhood, is but a boy, and not a
very brilliant youth, and the cares of
state rested heavily on his shoulders.
There Is reason to believe that the
announcement that his room was con
sidered of more worth than his com
pany was receive by-htm -with a
sigh of relief. Unless things should
take a turn In Portugal, It Is likely
that Manuel will spend his life In
England, which Is alike the refuge of
the hunted anarchist and the fleeing
king.

THANKSGIVING VACATION
Teachers Will 15c Given Ofi'H)rtunlty
to Attend Institute at In Grande
Scarlet Fever Epidemic Improved.
The publ'c schools of Pendleton
will be closed all next week for a
Thanksgiving vacation and also to
permit the teachers to attend the
meeting of the eastern Oregon
teachers' association at La Grande.
The Institute Is to be held on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of the
week and will be for the teachers of
Umatilla, Union, Wallowa and Baker
counties.
Friday afternoon the school work
wilf be brought to a close. It is pos
sible that Thanksgiving exercises will
be given In some of the schools Fri
day but no programs have yet been
arranged. According to Superintend
ent Landers the fact that many chil
dren are out of school because of the
scarlet fever epidemic may prevent
the holding of any Thanksgiving ser
vices. At this time the scarlet fever
situation is greatly improved and with
the advent of cooler weather the au
thorities are hopeful that-the "disease
may be quickly stamped out. How
ever, precautions against a spread of
the disease are still being taken.
This week Thanksgiving offerings
for-the Boys' & Girls' Aid society of
Portland will be taken up In the va
rious schools. Pupils wHl not be urg
ed to contribute to the aid society
fund, but all who care to do so will
be given the opportunity.
The work of apportioning about 300
new books to the school libraries of
the city commences today. It Is the
annual apportionment of new vol
umes for the city schools and the ad
ditions will strengthen the local li
braries considerably.
NO PACIFIC FLEET
UNTIL CANAL OPENS
Washington, D. C, Nov. 15. The
Pacific coast will have to wait until
1915 for the opening of the Panama
canal before It can have a battleship
fleet, according to Secretary Meyers.
Meyers said that the work of equip
ping and enlarging the Mare Island
and Bremerton navy yards will be
continued so that the vessels can be
accommodated when they finally ar
rive. Recently he inspected the Pa

a battleship fleet but did not specify
the date when he expected such a
fleet to materialize.
RECENT ELECTIONS CAUSE
DECLINE IN PRICES
Chicago, Nov'. 15. Provision hous
es in Chicago today declared the de

biggest corn crop In recent history

of the recent election. Packers here
say more cattle and hogs have been
shipped to the market this year than
before. Experts predict a lower drop
yet.

selves and put up an exhibition that
will be a credit to the city and enter
taining to the spectators.
The Pendleton players did not ap
pear at their best In the only game
played on the local gridiron this sea
son and for that reason the local fol
lowers of the game were greatly dis
appointed. They were not given a
chance to see the new rules given a
fair try-out and are therefore willing
to go to almost any end In order to
bring a Portland team to this city.
Enough money has already been
guaranteed to defray the expense of
bringing the visitors to Pendleton by
young men of the city, and It la be
lieved that if a game can be sched
uled with one of the leading teams
in the metropolis that the crowd
which will turn out will be the equal
of any which has ever greeted a foot
ball match in this city.

LEAVES HIS FORTUNE
TO ASSIST CUPID
Paris, Nov. r5. One of the queer
est marriage lotteries ever held in
Frince took place today, carrying out
the provisions of the will of the late
Pascale Favale, who died recently,
leaving his small fortune to the prop
agation of matrimony. Favale was
greatly concerned because of the de
creasing number of marriages and
the falling off in the birth rate in his
native France, and provided means
whereby Mammon may come to the
aid of Cupid. An annual drawing is
to be held, at which three spinsters,
between the ages of 16 and 25, will be
given the sums of 2130 each, pro
vided they marry within three years.
Several hundred young women had
entered for the first drawing which
took place today.
Three names were drawn by lots
from among the entries in the matri
monial stakes. The three winners
have bound themselves to desert
spinsterhood within the required time
and on their wedding day will receive
the promised "dot." If any of them
fail to secure a husband, the dowry
is forfeited. Although the sum is not
large, it Is likely that the winners
will soon be showered vlth proposals
SOCIALISTS WILL
FIGHT GOMPERS
Str Louis, Nov. 15. The biggest
fight in the history of the American
Federation of Labor is expected when
Samuel Gompers is nominated for re
election to the presidency. Gompers

efforts of the socialistic members of

zation for socialism and It Is known
that the 85 socialist votes of the 368

result. Gompers says he is not wor

of Lords Will Mean Stormy Reign

Placated.
London, Nov. 15. Parliament re
assembled today and transacted only
routine business, although many
members declare the country is on
the eve of a political upheaval. Pre
mier Asquith is expected tonight and
will anounce the full program of the
liberals and it is expected he will an
nounce that he will call for a disso
lution of parliament November 23rd
after the passage of urgent meas
ures. It Is predicted he will order
a gf neral election In December.
Out of respect to the memory of
the late King Edward and In defer
ence to the new monarch, a pitched
battle between the warring factions
had apparently been averted for. a
time when the two houses reconven
ed today. Since the adjournment ef
Parliament early In August, leading
men in both of the principal British
parties have held many conferences,
with a view of postponing the con
troversy over the status of the house
of lords, in order that King George's
coronation year may not be marked
by the fierce warfare that would cer
tainly accompany an election at this
time. It Is generally believed that
the negotiations have been successfnL
but it is evident today that the hens
of commons is akin to a powder mag
azine, and that a spark may yet set
it off.
Premier Asquith is expected to do
his part toward averting hostilities)
with the lords. The Irish will be
placated it is expected, by proposals),
having the endorsement of both lib
eral and unionist leaders, for a
scheme of federal home rule which
will be necessary to make such, a
proposal effective, and the govern
ment will be powerless to carry out
such a policy without unionist rap
port. There is many a slip betweea
the cup and the lip. and It may yet
be found that a general election la)
December will be the only way out of
the difficulty. In that case, it is cer
tain that the campa'gn would be the
fiercest in the history of England and
would arouse' animosities that would
embroil the whole nation and make
the coronation of King George a sec
ondary matter.
The suffragettes were active today
and they have planned dally mani
festations. In the hope of forcing ac
tion on the woman's suffrage bill. This)
measure was brought up at the last
session and, after a preliminary dis
cussion more facetious than earnest,
was buried in a committee of the
whole.
If the leaders succeed In smother
ing the fires for the present. It will
only mean that the conflagration will
later break out with greater violence.
The hatred of the house of lords in
dally gaining in volume and the days
of that Institution, as at present con
stituted and wih Its present powers,
are surely numbered. The reign of
King George promises to be an ex
citing and memorable one.
