Ö f WILSON LIFTS EMBARGO ON ARMS FOR MEXICANS Both Federáis and Rebels May Now Obtain Munitions of War From United States. Greatest Benefit Is to Rebels. Washington. D. C.. Feb. 3.—Presi dent Wilson has decided to lift the embargo on exportation of arms to Mexico. A proclamation under the authority of the congressional resolution of 1912, which will restore the status of the arms question to where both the Hu- rets forces and constitutionalists may import arms from the United States will soon be issued from the White House. General Carranza and other leaders of the rebels have repeatedly declared in the past that the lifting of the em­ bargo would mean the prompt over­ throw of the Huerta regime. They maintained that Huerta had the ad­ vantage, in that he could import arms freely from other countries, and since FLYERS TO TRY TO CIRCLE GLOBE Panama Pacific Exposition Will Offer $300,000 in Prizes. Time Limit of 90 Days—Start From San Francisco in May, 1915— Feat Is Possible. San Francisco — Three hundred thousand dollars and perhaps more will be offered in prizes to aeronauts who race around the world in any type of motor-driven air craft under the aus­ pices of the Panama Pacific Interna­ tional exposition company. Of this sum 3150,000 will be offered direct by the exposition company and subscrip­ tion arrangements on foot for secur­ ing the remainder are said to indicate an even larger sum than 3300,000. It is said to be the largest prize fund ever offered for a single sporting event. The race, the climax of the world's aeronautical activities thus far, is to start early in May. 31915. i Contestants will have 90 days in which to make the flight of approxi­ mately 22,000 miles around the globe. The race is to start and finish on the grounds of the Panama Pacific exposi­ tion and the course lies east from San Francisco. The route as now outlined crosses the Atlantic Ocean, England, France, Germany, Russia, Japan and the Pa- ci fi* Ocean, toucning the world's larg­ est capitals, the Arctics, the sub-trop­ ics of the Orient, and the Siberian wastes. Specifically the line runs from ■ San Francisco through Reno, Nev., Cheyenne, Wyo., from there either to Kansas City, St Louis, or Chicago, on to New York. The Atlantic Ocean is conceded to be the most formidable stretch in the race. It will be essayed from Belle Isle, a small point between Newfound­ land and Labrador. Cape Farewell, Greenland, the next stop, barring a drop into the water, 610 miles away, and from Cape Farewell to Reyjavik, Iceland, is 670 miles further. One more jump to Stornaway, in the He­ brides is 570 miles, and the Atlantic has been crossed. That none of these three distances is impossible, aero experts assert, is shown by a recent flight of Garros, the French aviator, who did 600 miles over the Mediterranean from Cannes France, to Tunis, Africa. From the Hebrides to Edinburgh, London, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, St. Petersburg, Moscow and along the trans-Siberian railway down into Man­ churia and Corea and across into Jap- an, runs the line of the flight. From Northern Japan to Kamschatka, with varying routes across the little gap of 30 miles which separates Asia from North America no obstacle likely to be met is unsurmountable, it is de­ clared. Vancouver, B. C., Seattle and Tacoma, Portland, Or., and San Fran­ cisco again—and the world is belted. Graft Among Public Men Arouses Japan Tokio—The public prosecutor and a naval commission have opened inquir­ ies into the charges of naval corrup­ tion. The naval commission is headed by Admiral Baron Shigeto Dewa, and Twenty-One Thoroughbreds Bum. Linaoln, Mass.—Twenty-one thor­ oughbred horses belonging to A. Henry Higginson were lost in a fire which destroyed the big racing stable on the Higginaon country estate Mon­ day night. Only four horses were saved. The total loaa is estimated at more than 360,000. Three of Mr. Higginaon’s most val­ uable hunters, Prince Hampton. Sir Worcester and Rose Fenton, worth 36000 apiece, were lost. Ace of Clubs, Ease, Friday, Gun Metal and St. Pat­ rick, thoroughbreds, also perished. I the only source for the rebela, which was across the United States border, was cut off by Wilson's order, they were left on an unequal footing. The rebels have been depending largely for their supply of munitions upon such as they could take from the Huerta forces that they conquered. Kansas Republican Club Urges Women to Vote Topeka, Kan.—Hope that the newly enfranchised women of Kansas will vote aggressively and not fall into the manner of the “many men in whom time and custom have dulled apprecia­ tion of the high privilege of suffrage” waa expressed by Mrs. Charles F. Scott, of Iola, wife of an ex-Kansaa representative in congress. In an ad­ dress at the annual banquet of the Kansas Republican club. “To women the privilege of suffrage is so new as almost to be feared,” Mrs. Scott said. “If we sigh for the millenium and neglect to vote; if we condemn weak officials and neglect to vote, whose fault is it if everything is not right in public affairs? “I think I am safe in saying that there will be no 'women's party* in Kansas. It does not appeal to the average woman. She has so long re­ sented not having the privilege of working side by aide with men she is not likely to surround herself with a new sex wall, just as the old one has been broken down.” Shoot or Banish Huerta Supporters Juarez, Mexico, Feb. 3.—A warning was issued by General Francisco Villa today that all Spaniards captured in the Torreon campaign would be dealt with summarily. General Villa said he had positive proof that Spaniards in Torreon had taken up arms against the rebels, and that all such would be ■hot Others, be said, would be ban­ ished from the country.

II. Bailey, a Portland mining expert, recently. “She can produce more in one year, with devel­ opment, than can be produced in the Ural Mountains of Russia, where 90 per cent of the present world's supply originates. “Even with no effort made at devel­ opment. Oregon already furnishes a material part of the remaining 10 per cent, and the grqater part of Oregon's ■hare comes from the placer mines of Josephine county, where it Is saved as a by-product to gold.” The present annual platinum output of the world, according to Mr. Bailey, is about 300,000 ounces, valued at about 116,000,000, Mr. Bailey haa spent five year* studying the geology of Josephine county, particularly in its relation to the production of platinum, and he haa found that It occurs in a formation known as olivslns, and in character almost identical with the platinum- producing regions of the Ural Moun­ tains. Hu has an assay return from Baker A Co., of Newark, N. J., known as the “American platinum trust,” show­ ing that a sample of ore that he sent them contained 3 per cent of platinum and *.4 per cent of osmo Iridium, a combination of two very valuable met­ als. This moans that a ton of ore such as waa assayed by Bakor A Co. for Mr. Bailey, would contain 70 ounces of platinum and 2260 ounces of osmo-iridlum. “The gold found In the placers has coms from the same formations as the platinum,” said Mr. Halley. ''Thirty millions In gold have been taken from the creek where I have found plati­ num, ami yet there have been no ledg­ es found that have been developed, ami that Is what the entire Southern Oregon mining country needs.
