League of Nations, T&af
Prohibition and Next
National Election Like
ly to be Affected Today
Washington, Nov. 7. Four ls-
tues of outstanding: significance
tre more or less involved In the
United States elections taking
place today. No decisions regard
log those issues can be voiced in
the voting, but politicians are
looking to the results of the poll
ing to indicate the popular trend.
May Enter League.
Entry of the United States into
the league of nations may follow
any carrying of the congressional
election for the democrats.
James M. Cox of Ohio, democra
tic candidate for the presidency
in 1920, returned from Europe re
cently and launched a vigorous
campaign for the Wilsonian pro
gram, while President Haramg
adhered to his policy of opposing
all participation in all European
affairs.
The character of the next Uni
ted States tariff probably will be
decided by the senatorial elections.
Candidates for the upper house of
both parties have made this an
issue in their campaigns.
jProiibitiott Affected.
The future of prohibition stay
lie influenced to some extent by
voting on state referendums. j?vr
ttates, Illinois,, Ohio, Massachu
setts and California are submit
ting prohibition plebiscites, the
first two with a view to legalizing
the manufacture and sale of beer
and light wines, the last two to
establishing. state prohibition en
dorsement regulations in harmony
with the Volstead law. -
Presidential election prospects
for 1924 are believed by many as
likely to be foreshadowed by the
result of the bitter contest for the
governorship of New York.
It is felt that the large electoral
college vote ot New York state
may be the determining factor in
the next presidential campaign
and politicians are awaiting anxi
ously to learn how "New York is
going." .

IS FOUND INSANE
W. P. Thacker, said by police
to have confessed to an assault on
a 10-year-old Salem girl, was a
former inmate ot the state hos
pital for the Insane and was re
turned there yesterday afternoon.
Officials said that Thacker made
his escape from the Institution
here in 1913.
Thacker was taken Into' custody
Sunday night as he was about to
leave town on an Oregon Electric
train. His two little boys are at
Present being cared for by the
police.
The little Salem girl wasnot

REILLY MINE
13 Men Bodies in Sight;
32 injured in Hospital
Bring Total Accounted
For Up to 108.
Spangler, Pa., Nov. 7. (By As
sociated Press.) Thirteen addi
tional bodies were taken from the
mine of the Reilly Coal company
here bringing the total dead re
covered to 63. Thirteen more
bodies were in the mine, rescuers
said, and 32 injured were in the
miners hospital An explosion
yesterday entombed the men.
Mine rescue experts said they
had explored all but two of the
headings and did not expect to
find any more bodies.
Leaders of rescuers summarized
the situation at that hour:
Men In mine when explosion
occurred not more than 112; bod
ies recovered 63; bodies located in
mine 13; injured in hospital 32.
Total accounted for 108.
There was still some uncertain
ty as to the number of men who
went into the mine yesterday but
it was pointed out that if the to
tal was 112 as some authorities
believed ,the missing four miners
would probably be found In the
eighth heading where the water
had risen so rapidly that explora
tion this morning had been Im
possible. Even If these men had
gone Into the mine, it was assert
ed, they had probably perished.
LIMIT OF PATIENCE
Paris. Nov. 7. The French
government appears to have
reached the limit of its patience
in dealing with the Turk and is
tending more and more to stiffen
its attitude toward the Angora
government.
This is the interpretation given
in political circles here to the
sailinir today of the dreadnaught
Jean Bart from Toulon to Join the
allied fleed at Constantinople in
the face ot the Angora govern
ment's demand that allied war
ships seek permission before en
tering Turkish ports.
The allied troops now In Con
stantinople are regarded as suf
ficient to maintain order unless
there should be a general upris
ing of the Turks, which is look
ed upon, as improbable.

with military escort, will go to
the grave of the unknown sol
dier on Armistice day and leave
a wreath there, during a brief
ceremony which Is expected to
establish a precedent to he ioi
lowed throughout the years.
No national holiday will "be
proclaimed by the president, who
is said to feel that the simple ex
ercises at the grave are preferable
In expressing official government
recognition of the day.

2 Human Leg Bones
FoundToday Buried
On Salem Property
Was there, many many years
ago, a murder In -Salem which
naver came to light?
While excavating on the T. G.
Bligh property, at the corner of
Court and High streets, this morn
ing, workers brought to the sur
face two human leg bones. Be
lief was expressed that they may
have been burled for more than
two score years.
One of the bones was an upper
leg bone and the other a shin
bone. It was held possible that
further remains might be found
it the men should dig deeper. '
Fifty years ago the Kansas ho
tel stood on the property where
the bones were found. Until re
cently the land was owned by
the Elks who sold It a few months
ago to Mr. Bligh.
Officials were unablr to guess
at the length ' of time that the
bones had been buried.

"The committees which - draw
up the tariff bills are guided by
the facts produced by the Ameri
can producers and the foreign
producers and a desire to protect
American business without caus
ing the consumer to suffer," was
the summarizing statement ot the
speech of Congressman W. C.
Hawley today noon at the weekly
luncheon of the Kiwanls club.
Mr. Hawley told of the work
the committee went through In
fixing- the tariff 1 on wheat and
nuts. The difference between the
price of the Canadian wheat and
that of the American wheat, con
sidering the matter from all an
gles, was 25 cents and therefore
it was necessary in order that the
local growers might be protected
to put a tariff ot 25 cents eh
wheat. He said that In fixing tne
tariff on nuts that the California
growers were strongly In favor of
a high tariff but that the facts
did not Justify as much as the
growers would have liked.
Quite a ripple was created when
Harry Weis announced that he
would pass the cigars on behalf
ot N. D. Elliott's friend, Andy
Gump. Mr. Elliott, as a member
of the Y. M. C. A. public speaking
class, was called on to make a

gave Rafet Pasha, the new civil

of the arrest but would Investi

that the editor has been hanged
at Ism Id after a crowd had half
lynched him, but this was not
confirmed ' of fici ally.
The allied commissioners feel

other residents of the city, Turks,
Greeks and Armenians, who enjoy
the cpnfidence and respect of the
allies.'

The allied action with regard
to All Kemal Bey had been pre

of Turks to the British authorities
here to accord them safe conduct
so that they might Join the great
exodus ot Greeks and Armenians
which has been in progress re
cently since panic set In over the
possibility of the nationalists tak
ing control in Constantinople and
sending in their troops. The ar
rest and condemnation of the edi
tor gave the Bignal for all the re
maining prominent Turks to be-
ln to seek cover.
All day yesterday the allied
high commissioners held frequent
conferences over the threatened
wholesale Invasion of the Kemal
lsts and the menace of anti-Christian
uprising. The British armed
patrols about the city meanwhile
exercised the greatest vigilance In

TRAIN LOST TWO DAYS
LOCATED BY WIRELESS
Casner. Wvo.. Nov. 7. Burling
tnn nassencrer train No. 29. which
left Denver for Billings last Sat
urday afternoon and was lost
for two days while snowbound be
tween Cheyenne and Wendover
with all wires down, was scned
uled to arrive In Casper this at-
fomnon Eft hours late. Tne tram
was located yesterday by division
headquarters through the aid ot
Mnrman E. Hood, amateur radio
operator, who directed inquiries
to Denver which brought results.
Railroad officials here expect
normal service to be established
within the next 14 hours.
Total Balloting Expected
To Reach 75 percent
Mark Many have To
Be Sworn In.
With an approximate 33 per
cent ot the registered vote in the
18 Salem precincts cast up to the
noon hour It waa evident that tha
total balloting In today's elec
tion would run easily to the 7S
percent mark that has been pre
dicted, and probably more.
Compared with former elections
a 33 per cent vote at noon is a
high average for that time of
day. At the last primary the vote
at that time ot the day was only
18 per cent and It is seldom that
more than 20 per cent of the vot
ers cast their ballots before 1
o'clock In the afternoon. -
At 1:80 this afternoon the line
of voters at the polls was steadily
Increasing at all ot the polling
places and an exceptionally heavy
vote of women was indicated for
the afternoon.
Ignoring as usual the admoni
tion to vote early, the electors are
still holding off and there la
every Indication that a record
,late vote will be cast during the
late afternoon and this evening.
Of the more than 8,000 registered
voters in the city It was evident
at noon that fully 65 00 ot them
would cast ballots before the polls
close at 8 o'clock.
Many Sworn In
In view of the intense Interest
that has been stirred up by the
campaign of the past few weeks,
the surprising development of to
day's polling was the number ot
voters who had not registered and
had to be sworn in. In one pre
cinct 18 votes had been sworn in
up to noon. Both forces in the
gubernatorial contest were active
throughout the day rounding up
the stray and tardy voters aud
swearing them in.
Due to the use of double elec
tion boards in all of the precincts
in the city and in most of the larg
er towns ot the county the gather
ing ot early reports tonight is ex
pected to be rapid. By 9 o'clock a
large part ot the early vote will
have brt,an counted and gathered
for compiling by the newspapers.
Two Freeholders Needed
Provisions ot the law requiring
six freeholders to swear In the
vote of an elector In counties
having over 100,000 registered
voters has resulted In some con
fusion locally. This provisloa
only applies to Multnomah coun
ty. In all other counties of tha
state the affidavits of two free
holders only are required to swear
in a voter who is not regiatercd.
Up to 1 o'clock the vole la
six Salem precincts was:
Precinct No. 11204 votes out
ot 600. .
No. 16 193 votes out of 604.
No. 10 129 votes out of 449.
No. 9 185 votes out of 543.
No. 12 146 votes out of 545.
No. 17 168 votes out ot 457.
