BE WISE IN TIME-TRY HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS New York With returns missing Saturday from only one congressional district in the United States, the Re publicans and Democrats each had elected 215 representatives. The vote in New Mexico, which is still in doubt, probably will determine which party is to have a plurality of one over the ottv er. The present member from New Mexico is a Republican. The balance in the next house will be held by four men, one a Progres sive-Protectionist from Louisiana, one an Independent from Massachusetts, one a Progresssive from Minnesota and the other a Socialist from New York. Their action apparently will determine the choice of a speaker, as well as the fate of legislation which is supported or opposed on purely party lines. In addition to the hope of electing a congressman-at-large from New Mex ico, the Democrats had one grain of comfort. It was that an official count may disclose that Thomas J. Scully has been re-elected from the Third New Jersey district. They contend the chances were that Scully had been the victor by a few votes over Robert Carson, his Republican opponent, to whom the election previously had been conceded by a narrow margin. A reversal in Iowa, where complete returns showed the election of George C. Scott, Republican, over Congress man Tom Steele, in the Eleventh dis trict, and the election of Republicans in the Second and Third West Virginia districts, brought about the present tie. Four members of other parties have been elected. Late returns appeared further to complicate the congressional situation. Congressman James J. Britt, Republi can, of the Tenth North Carolina dis trict, was reported to have defeated his Democratic opponent, whose elec tion previously had been conceded. The senate remains unchanged, 54 Democrats to 42 Republicans. Villa's Gains Delay Decision of American-Mexican Commission Atlantic City, N. J. Confirmation of reports of the Increased strength of various reactionary movements in Mexico served to oftset, Saturday, the apparent determination of the Mexican-American joint commission to effect an early adjustment of the prob lem the two governments are facing. Until official reports reveal the truth of the stories of Villa's successes in the North and of the progress made by other reactionaries in the south, there appeared a probability that an agreement would be entered into, per haps next week. That appeared less likely, and the chance of a formal ad journment without an agreement other than one of the most general character seemed more probable. Reports received by the Americans from official sources, and others re ceived by the Mexicans from their government, dealing with the activi ties of Villa, were studied at the con ference Saturday. The. result of the comparison of the reports was to dis close that General Carranza is now conducting a defensive campaign against Villa with a battle at Escalon imminent, instead of prosecuting an offensive campaign against him. From the source come reports, ac cepted as reliable, that Felix Diaz' forces are in possession of Rincon An tonio, a station on the Tehuantepec railway, which extends from Salina Crua, on the Pacific, to Puerto Mexico, on the. Gulf of Mexico. Diaz was re ported in the state of Chiapas. It was believed that the men in command of the Dial forces that took Rincon An tonio are Canuto Reyes and Ysaba Kobles, formerly active in the support of Villa. German Anger is Stirred. Berlin (By wireless to Sayville, N. Y. ) A deep impression has been made on the German public by the report from the admiralty that a British pa trol ship, flying the American nag, af ter destroying the German submarine U-41, deliberately ran down two sur vivors. "Indignation is growing in Germany, " says the Overseas News Agency, "and the excitement is stim ulated by the fact that German sub' marines returning from trip report that they have been attacked treacher ously by hoBtile merchantmen.

Oregon's five electoral votes will go to Charles E, Hughes. He will carry the Btate over President Wilson by a plurality of ap proximately 7500 votes. The figure may be as high as 8000, but not more. Returns from every county In the state, excepting Harney county, give Hughe's a lead of 6272. The present figures are: Huhges, 105,898; Wil son, 99,626. These returns represent approxi mately per cent of the vote cast, The missing precincts are in the out lying districts of the state, including somejn Multnomah county, and are not expected to affect the result much either way. Hughes has carried the outside coun ties by a plurality well over 2000 and is maintaining his early lead in this county. . Hawley, Republican, for representa tive in congress in the Western Ore gon district, has been elected over Weatherford, Democrat-Prohibition, by a decisive vote, although Weather ford has carried Linn, his home coun ty, and Jackson, which is strongly Democratic. " Sinnott, Republican - Progressive Democrat, was re-elected representa tive in congress in the Eastern Oregon district over Barkley, Socialist. McArthur, Republican, was re-elect ed representative in the Multnomah county district over Lafferty, Indepen dent, and Jeffrey, Democrat. State officers, all Republicans, have been elected as follows ; Secretary of state, Ben W. Olcottj justice of the Supreme court, George H. Burnett and Frank A. Moore; dairy and food com missioner, John D. Mickle; public service commissoiners, H. H. Corey and Fred G. Buchtel. CONTROL OF HOUSE IS CLOSE; DEMOCRATS LEAD IN SENATE New York, Nov. 9 Although the Democrat b have assurance of control of the senate by a working majority, 1 control of the house was still in doubt at an early hour today. The Demo crats had made slight gains however in the late returns in Montana and Kansas. At 1 o'clock 208 Democrats, 198 Republicans. 2 Progressives. 1 So cialist and 1 Independent had been elected, with 25 congressional districts yet to be heard from. Republicans did not give up hope of winning . control. The situation in the house at this hour is so indefinite that it is impossi ble to declare whether the Democrats will maintain control. If they do it is certain to be by a greatly reduced margin and one that will scarcely give a good working majority. In fact, un less Democratic gains are made in the districts yet undecided, independent minority members might seriously in terfere with the re-election of Speaker Clark and the organization of import ant committees.

Portland Warehouses Sell 1,500,000 Pounds of Wool Portland Several big wool deals, Involving about 1,500,000 pounds of the Oregon clip of this year, have been closed In this city in the past few days. One of the transfers was a block of 1,000,000 poundB. The wools Bold have been held here since early summer by the Columbia Basin Wool Warehouse company and the Portland Wool Warehouse company. The prices realized were not made public, but it is known they were the highest prices ever paid for wool in this state. The bulk of the wool sold went to Eastern woolen mills, but Boston deal ers also secured several large lots. Three or four million pounds remain unsold in the local warehouses. Stocks of wool in Portland have been larger than anywhere else In the West, except Chicago, ' and this fact has turned the attention of buyers to this city. This is what the wool men and warehouse men of Oregon have been striving for, the making of Port land a wool center where stocks could be accumulated and sold direct to the consuming trade. As the holders of the wools just sold have realized a good advance over the prices prevailing during the early part of the season, they have demonstrated their wisdom this time, at least in not taking first offers, but in holding for the late market. Jitney Car Plunges Through Draw. Vancouver, B. C. A Vancouver Ladner jitney, driven by George Smith, plunged through the gates of an open draw and carried nine persons to death, with the possibility that two more may be added to the list, at the Main street crossing of the Fraser river Sunday night. Smith was driving to Vancou ver at a high rate of speed, and the supposition is that in the frosty air the windshield became clouded and he failed to see the warning lights. Be fore any warning could be given, the machine had plunged overboard. . French Praise Americans. Paris Gallantry of Section 1, of the American Ambulance Field Service, again has been cited in army orders. "Under the command of Lieutenant Robert de Persauson de Pennendref and Herbert Townsend, an American officer," says the citation, "the section in August and September of 1916 as sured the evacuation of three divisions successfully under dangerous circum stances. It wked the favor of continu ing the work and both officers and staff gave proofs of mOBt brilliant courage and most complete devotion." , One American on Arabia.

Churchill, finds that there are 1628 teachers in Oregon who hold life state certificates or life diplo mas. The number of teachers holding life papers is 112 greater than in 1916. ! The regularity with which the chil dren attend school in Oregon is worthy of notice. Through the efforts of the country teachers to keep the attend ance up to 92 per cent, the average re quired before a school may be consid ered standard, the percentage of daily attendance in the rural schools is slightly over 90 per cent, which is higher than in any other state in the United States. The percentage of at tendance in the city schools is still higher, so that the average attendance for the entire state is 94.8 per cent. The number of absences from school was 2,317,410 less last year than dur ing the previous school year. Cranberry Prices on Higher. Portland Cranberry prices were ad vanced all along the line TueBday.
