PRICE TWO CENTS ON TRAINS AND NBWg STANDS FIVE CENTS fru "ol A mvmMsMM C3 Banquet Given at Albany in Honor of Walter Pierce by Winburn The Ashland Millionaire- Who Gave Pierce $5,000 Turns Out a Love Feast MANY (By Harry N. Crain.) "God bless Jesse Winburn." Thus did Walter M. Pierce, dem ocratic candidate for governor and beneficiary of the philanthropic generosity of Mr. Winburn to the extent of a $5000 addition to his campaign fund, sound the keynote of the non-partisan dinner given by the Ashland millionaire at the Albany hotel last night. Mr. Winburn's banquet was heralded in honor of Mr. Pierce aud hia candidacy, but the gather ing of 100 newspaper men and po litical warhorses got away to a bad start and wound up as a Win burn love feast, with Mr. Pierce among those present. In applause honors Winburn scored first, Woodrow Wilson sec ond and Pierce had a slight edge on J. R. Hunt, ex-senator from Multnomah county and republican backslider, for third place. Moses Toastmaster. Bert Moses, of Sap-and-Salt fame and old among the proteges of Winburn, in the capacity of toastmaster, first blew the note that was echoed through the speaking program, when he sang the praises due Winburn as a pub lic philanthropist and "guardian angel" of the financial end of the Pierce campaign. All of the speakers were duly thoughtful of Winburn and his $5000 contribution to the cause of 'true democracy." Asserting that he was not "al together a frealt," Winburn soft- peddled the party savior attitude of his admirers and plunged into an explanation of his conversion to the Pierce cause, opening with the flat denial that he was a for mer Tammany man, or 'that he had ever been in any way Connect ed with Tammany hall. He De clared that during his 30 years in New York he could not remember of ever having voted for a Tam many candidate and that, on the other hand, he had been an active campaigner for republicans and later in the Bull Moose cause. Explains Conversion. Winburn attributed his conver sion to the Pierce candidacy to the democratic nominee's stand on the taxation question and the ac tion of Governor Olcott in not only refusing the proffered sup Port of one of Winburn's personal mends, but in subsequently dis missing this "dear friend" from a honorary post in the staie-s em Ploy.

Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 5. The for est fires which have been raging tor the past 24 hours in two wide ly separated regions of Canada, northern Ontario and the valley of the St. Maurice river in Que bec, have cost a number of lives, destroyed six towns, and accord ing to reports reaching the Can adian capital this morning, now threaten other towns unless rain comes quickly. North Liskeard today was add ed to the list of destroyed North Ontario towns. Two stone houses alone marked the spot where the village had been. It is believed several inhabitants perished. Fire fighters reported that it would be almost impossible to prevent the fire from reaching other towns along the Temisham ing and Northern Ontario railway. The St. Maurice valley conflag ration was sweeping down early today from the mountains to St. Mathieu de Caxton, which was already surrounded by flames, and to Shawinigan, Grand Mere and Grande Piles. . Quick action by fire fighters saved the village of St, Lambert in Shawninigan. The first relief train from Co balt arrived at North Bay today with 610 'refugees, who were lodged in private homes, church es and public institutions. Other trains were rushed to Cobalt to remove thousands of homeless refugees, who flocked there from the destroyed towns The Sisters of Providence hos pital, the Roman Catholic, An- gilican, Methodists, Baptist, and Presbyterian churches and new court house of Haileybury were burned by the flames, which destroyed the town In less than two hours. Inmates of the 'hos pital were removed in automobiles to Cobalt. Premier Drury arrived in North Bay early today to cooperate in the relief work with George Lee, chairman of the T. and N. O. railway. What Is It To You If I'm a Klansman? Asks Walter Piercel CON raw: E AGREEMENT (By Paul P. Farrington.) I came to Oregon as a wander ing boy. (Applause.) I have never deceived or misled anybody. (Ap plause.) ' If we are to save Oregon from communism we've got to do some thinking " (Applause.) It was Mr. Pierce- Walter M. Pierce talking. He was addressing the 101 persons assembled last night at the Al bany hotel, banqueting as the guests of Jesse Winburn, Ashland millionaire, late of New York. Mr. Pierce was speaking very well even though the stifled sobs, which occasionally crept into his voice, rendered ennunciation dif ficult. Mercifully, on these oc casions, the banqueters applauded witn sucn gusto that the con fessed "plain old farmer' 'was sav ed the embarrassment attaching to a manifestation of sentiment. There is, Mr. Pierce explained in his well modulated voice, only one issue in the gubernatorial campaign. Taxation is everything all else is as nothing. Why, it was nonsense to inject this public school bill business.

Constantinople, Oct. 5 (By Asso ciated Press) British general head quarters reports the appearance of Turkish, nationalist cavalry at Kan- dra. in the Constantinople neutral zone. No instances of buyers refusing to accept deliveries on hops grown in this vicinity have yet come to light, according to brokers and deal ers here today. ' This despite the fact that the hop market is in bad shape, the quality of the hops is below normal and foreign buyers face the possibility of having to store all hops bought in this coun try until the large English, crop has been consumed. Reports from other hop growing sections, especially the Harrisburg district say that many growers with their hops under contract are hav ing . difficulty in getting the buy ers to accept delivery whenever there is the least excuse for refusal to do so. Dealers here credit the lack of this sort of evasion by buyers in this section to the fact that from 90 to 95 pr cent of the hops grown here are under contract to English buy ers, who have the reputation of keeping their contracts to the let ter. This year the English firms giv ing the growers every advantage possible, and are accepting all hops. They are making no deductions for the poor quality of the hops where the grower is not to blame and are insisting only on clean picking end proper drying on the part of the growers. Reports of the last few days show that the hop market is still in the slump with little or no prospect of betterment. There are plenty of hops on the market at 10 cents, but few are being sold. 750 STUDENTS NOW N HIGH SCHOOL Paris, Oct. 5. (By Associated Press.)

The dispatches do not say whe ther the Greek representatives ac cepted these conditions. PETZEL COMPANY WINS LAW SUIT HERE Constantinople, Oct. 6. (By Associated Press.) According to telegrams from Turkish sources in Mudania, the agreement regarding the neutral zones reached by th allied and Turkish representatives provides that no fortifications shall be constructed on either side of the straits of the Dardanelles, and that the British military oper ations in Turkey shall cease. SPECIAL VENIRE IS DRAWN E Kandra is approximately 65 miles east of Constantinople near the Black Sea coast of the Ismid pen insula.

SECOND WORLD'S SERIES GAME CALLED IN TENTH BECAUSE OF DARKNESS Giants and Yankees Battle To Extra Inning With out Breaking 3 to 3 Deadlock Contest Brilliant Battle of Pitchers Ward Gets First Homer and Provides Real Thriller For The Crowd. Polo Grounds, New York, Oct. 5. (By Associated-Press.) The Giants and the Yankees battled for ten innings to a tie score when darkness called a halt. The Giants might have been able to play their half of another inning but the light was fading fast, and Umpire Hildebrand realizing that the Yankees would have to go to bat in near darkness called the - game. Thirty-six thousand persons or- more saw a pitchers battle in STRKE LEADERS PERSECUTED SAYS CRAFTS ATTORNEY Chicago, Oct. 5. Appearing be fore Federal Judge James Y. Wil kerson today Donald R. Richberg attorney for the railway shop crafts, accused the department ot ustice of lack of good faith in the proposal to expedite final disposi tion of the injunction ease against the rail strike leaders. Mr. Richberg declared that he and associate counsel had "held very unsatisfactory conference with Solicitor General Beck, after futile attempt to see Attorney General JJaugherty in Washing ton, with reference to an early fin al hearing on a- review of the in terlocutory injunction handed down by Judge Wilkereon on Sep tember 25. The shop crafts' attorney said he would "seek to obtain protec tion of the rights of the defend ants through orders which the court may enter and through pro cedure which the court may adopt, despite the manifestation or tne attorney general to the entry of ny order of the adoption ot any procedure which will protect the defendants from- the abuse of offi cial power." The use of the summary equity procedure to obtain a tentative conviction of 400,000 men of crim inal conspiracy upon evidence found solely in an undigested mass f ex-parte affidavits reeking with hearsay and perjury has been by means of depriving these men of berty and property so long as the interlocutory injunction re mains in force. Safeguards protecting the, "vil est, most notorious criminal caught red handed have been de- ied to 400,000 industrious,' law abiding citizens and their lead ers," he continued. Cleveland.
