Wholesale Arrests Made In All Parts o of Country Simultaneously anil and Jails Arq' Crowded With Po lltchl Prisoners Situation Now Is Said to Bo Critical. npHE Rogue. River Valley has again demonstrated the .superiority of its apples "by winning first place with a car of Yellow Newtowns at the Canadian Apple Show now being held in Vancouver, B. 0. Yakima took second place and Wenatchee third. The car of Newtowns exhibited by this valley also won third sweepstakes prize. First honors went to Jonathans from Okanogan, B. C, and second honors to a mixed car from Somerland, B. C. The local exhibitors did not hope to win this year over Canadian fruit, as this was the first year of the Canadian apple show and it therefore was al most certain that Canadian exhibitors would be favored over exhibitors from the United States. Twelve cars were exhibited. That Medford topped all from the United States is considered as good as winning over the Canadian cars. Two prizes were won, the cash value of them being $750. The car of Newtowns were grown on the Renshaw or chard just northeast of this city. They were carefully packed and in charge of W. A. Hooker, one of the most experienced apple men in the valley. They were also accompanied by E. Renshaw, the grower. The car will now be forwarded to Spokane, whore thoy will be exhibited at the National Apple Show. Today the car of Newtowns which is to be exhibited at Spokane by the Ashland Commercial club goes forward to Spokane. Local orchardists are elated with the success of the car and are confident of winning first place at the Spokane National Apple Show next week. Last year a car of Spit zenbergs grown by Tronson & Guthrie near Eagle Point was awarded the sweepstakes prize of $1000 and the hon orary title, "Apple King of America." The prize winning Newtown apples were grown upon an irrigated orchard, as were those winning prizes last vear. AGENT HERE 10 . CHOOSE SITE J. W. Roberts, Site Agent for Gov ernment, Conferring With Local Real Estate Agents Regarding Site For New Building. J. W. Roberts, site agent for the bureau of location of federal build iiiRB, is in Medford looking over the various sites offered the postofflco department for such a building. "I am here." said Mr. Roberts, "to select a suggestive site for the con temlated building from the many oi fered. MrToport, ns I said, will be merely suggestive, and the bureau will then take up tho mater of con firming nay recommendation. I have investigated today your business blocks and the relative distnnces be tween the main business portions and and tho several sites offered. To morrow I will look over tho paved streets of your city nnd the contem plated work in that direction. "The proximity and easiness of access to the business portion of the city will influence the selection of the sie for tho government building. How do I like the town! Really, 1 have been so much engaged in official matters that I have not had timo to look at it otherwise ; but I enn't help but see that you are moving."

President Tnft threw Washington in to a sate of excitement today by nn Indirect declaration that he would not again be a candidate for presi dent In 1912. Taft declared ho ex pected to be living I if Cincinnati In 19H. Administration officials and corre spondents who Immediately set about verifying the report found that he had made the statement unofficially to a committee of women represent ing the Sisterhood of Rodeph Shalom, a Jewish congregation of Pittsburg who had Invited te president to at tend their conclave celebration In Pittsburg In 1914 In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of peaco among tho English speaking nations. "Thank you, ladles, but I expect to be l'vlng In Cincinnati then, and will be delighted to run over." were Pres ident Taft's exact words. Whether or not It was a whim of Taft's to announce bis retirement In that way and he was really In earn est, or whether ho was having n quiet little joke at the expense of the Amer ican people Is not known. The com mittee was abounded at the manner In which the acceptanco of their In vitation wag made and left precipi tately without learning whether It was intended as a jest or not. Taft's remark, coming as It does shortly after the reports that he does not expect to be a candidate for a second term, which emanated from friends of tho president at Bovorly, Is regarded as an Indication that he may soon make some definite state ment on tho subject. Although the matter may have been Intended as a J'jko today, politicians assert that It Is a matter on which the president would hardly Jest if he considered as a serious possibility the mattero'f""a second term, PERRY OFF FOR NIG J.

LONDON, Nov. 2 Lnto dispntehos from Lisbon dcclnro that the Span ish government has uncovered n rev olutionary plot. Tho government hns officially admitted this. The plot was discovered just nfter it wns to hnvo boon Carried out. Wholesale- arrosts wcro niudo in all parts of tho country simulta neously and tho jails in tin principul cities nro crowded with political prisoners. Au official denial from the Span ish government, saying that tho rum ored outbreaks in Madrid nnd Barce lona did not occur, has strengthened the belief that tho situation is crit ical. It wns porsistontly rumojed today that an outbronk of bloody rioting had occurred in both cities nnd it wns Into this nftornoon before com muuicntion could finnlly bo cslnb Iishod. When it wns restored, the dcninl issued by tho government was curt and brief, nnd inado no mention of tho plot which is reported to liuvu Jieeu formed against King Alfonso uud his government. Tho news from Spnin, for the past few days, has been under tho strict est censorship. No definite nows from the interior could bo obtained and tho dispatches from Madrid and Barcelona have shown tho careful hnnd of tho government agent, who has handled them . In tho light of tins fact Iho reports circulated here today thnt Barcelona uud Mudrid wcro in tho hands of tho revolution ary party nre considered generally creditable. wm s FROSTV Mill IN THIS CITY "Geo! but this Is a lonosomo town Nothing for mo but to loaf around.

The notion grew out of u disagreement between some of the cabinet members and tho prime niin ihter, Aristide Briand, over tho hand ling of the remit French railway strike. President Fulliercs upheld Briand, and it is understood tho president will reorganize the cabinet in accord with the views of the premier. It is alt-o underhtood tho old prime minister will he retained nnd that tho change will be in the other port folio holders. The diffloultiott which resulted m the present disruption of tho cabinet came when M. Briand, desiring to crush the railway strike, which wns baliood to b part of u ''general ntrikc" movement, (tailed out the mil itary reserves. Engineers and fire men who belonged , to the reserves were ordered out hv the government mid in full uniform were ruquired to mnu the trnitis which they had de serted at the fttrike order. Station guards nr,d trainmen were treated in the same munner, so that the rail road soon were in operation by the nnnv, although only the old experi enced men who hud operated them look port in tho resumption of traffic The action of tho prime minister was u fcuccchs. so far as crushing the strike was concerned, but it resulted in sharp criticism of him - 'V, Only Failure of Fuse to Burn Pre vented Destruction of Dwelling Which Housed Foreign Laborers in Milton. .MIIl'ON.
