(By Karl H. Yon IViegand.)
Berlin, Sept. 21. (By wire

forces in France were taking the
offensive everywhere today, ac
cording to dispatches received
here this afternoon from field
headquarters.
A message from Bucharest
said that the Crown council there
decided Saturday in favor of
continued Rumanian neutrality.
There had been reports that the
uumanians were on the point of
joining the Anglo Franco-Russian
allies.
From Christiania came the
news that Frithjof Kansen, the!
Arctic explorer, was preaching
the necessity for a military!
union between Sweden and Nor

HERO OF 1 WRECK
Jumped Into Sea and Carried
Life Line to Exhausted Vic
tim of the Accident
Astoria, Ore, Sept. 21. "It was one
of the bravest rescues in the aunalg of
lifftsaving. "
In these words Captain B. II. Mac
Donald, of the tank steamer Prank II.
Buck, today describes the rescuing of
Frank Poelman, one of the two surviv
ors of the Francis H. Leggott wreck
Friday afternoon by Quartermaster
Lars Kskildon, who, with the sea toe
turbulent to launch a lifeboat, leaped
over the rail and after swimming quite
a distance, attached a lifeline to the
exhausted man by which both were
hauled to safety.
The Buck arrived in Astoria Sunday
noon with Poelman on board, terribly
fatigued but recovering rapidly.
Captain MacDonald said it was four
o'clock Friday afternoon when ha in
tercepted a wireless from the JapBiie.-o
cruiser Idzuma, stating that the L'g
get had gone down.
The Buck immediately started for the
scene at full speed, arriving abo'.t
eleven o'clock Friday night.
About midnight a cry of "help" was
heard.
"Shortly afterward a man was seen
with a lifebelt on clinging to a piece
of wreckage, but on account of the
seas we did not deem it advisable to
launch a lifeboat and maneuvered the
Buck down alongside him." said Cap
tain MacDonald. "Then Quartermaster
Eskildon bravely jumped overboard
with a lifeline, swam to the exhausted
survivor and tied it to him. Both were
then hauled to safety.
"The lifeboats we're then launched
and after a hunt of two hours the sec
ond survivor. Alexander Farrell, was
found and placed on board the steams
Beaver. ' '
roeiman's story or tne disaster was
substantially the same as that told by
rarrell, who arrived in Astoria Satur
day afternoon on the Beaver.
FAIL FOR $1,250,000
Had Loaned Too Much Money
to Themselves Tenino
Bank, Also Fails
Centralia. Wash., Se.pt, 21. Th
United States National Bank with de
posits of over $1,000,000 and the Union
Loan & Thust Company, with deposits
of over $250,000, failed to open their
doors today following an inspection of
the institutions' books by Bank Ex
aminer Lloyd L. Mulit.
The heaviest depositor in the banks
was the city of Centralia, which had
$90,000 on deposit. The closing of the
institutions leaves the municipality
with but. $10,000 cash on hand from it's
spring tax receipts.
The greatest factor in the closing of
the. doors of the two banks, according
to George Dysart. one of the stockhold
trs, was over-confidence on the part of
the bank officials in the handling of
commercial paper, on which it was
found impossible to realize w'hen a
financial stress came. It is said that
the trouble is directly due to financing
mill and logging properties in which
the bank people were interested.
United States Attorney Clay Allen
and Marshal J. M. Boyles are' in the
city in connection with the closing of
the banks, but their mission has not
been announced.
The closing caused no little excite
meut but the directors of both institu
tions assert they will turn over all of
their private property and that deposi
tors will be paid in full.
The other two Centralia banks were
prepared to withstand runs but none
developed.
The State Bank at Tenino, owned by
i the same interests as the two institu-
I tiong which closed here, also failed to
open its doors this morning.
The failure of the Tenino bank
which is under the jurisdiction of the
state bank examiner and not the fed
eral authorities, wag largely due, bank
otficials stated, to the fact that the
bank had invested heavily in commer-
eial paper similar to that held by the
two local concerns.

BATTLE IS A

RUMANIA ALMOST
READY TO TAKE PART
Montenegrins Are Within Ten
Miles of the Capital of

. The battle of the Aisue entered on
its
second week today.
Both sides claimed small advantages
but the truth seemed to be that:
Thus far the fight was a draw.
The allies were making frantic ef
forts to crumplo the extreme German
right under General Von Kluk.
The Germans, led by General Von
Buelow, were expending their last
ounce of strength in an attempt to
break the allies' center near Craonne.
At these points there were cavalry
and infantry charges and hand to hand
encounters.
Elsewhere the conflict was mainly au
artillery duel- and a terrible one.
Losses Staggering.
The London war office admitted that
losses were "staggering."
Rains continued and the men fought
and died in water-filled trenches.
The Germans, successful in East Prus
sia, were pushing their invasion ot
Russian Poland, occupying town after
town.
In Galicia 2,000,000 Russians and
Austrians fought.
The Russians claimed uniform suc
cesses in this quarter.
After setting their stronghold of
.Taroslnv- on fire and abandoning it, the
Austrians were drawn up along a line
from Cracow to Przemvsl.
They asserted the retirement was onlv
to sain stronger positions
Here as in the west, the battle raged

As Bad in the West.
Losses, also as in the west, were ad
mittedly frightful.
The Servians announced they had
repulsed fresh attempts at an Austrian
invasion.
Montenegrins occupied Rogbitza, onlv
ten miles from Serajcvo, capital of the
Austrian province of Bosnia
Popular sentiment was so strongly
anti-German and anti-Austrian in Rome
that the German and Austrian em
bassies there were heavily guarded.
. People for Russia. ,
Romo information was to the effect
that Rumania was about to join the
Anglo-i ranco-Kussian combination.
uermany, on the other hand, pro
fessed to have been assured that the
Rumanians would remain neutral.
The fact was that the Rumanian nil
ing house was pro-German; the people
pro-Kussian
A rumor was current that Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria died a week
ago but that the news had been sup-
prcssed lest it precipitate a revolution,
but this report wholly lacked confirma

Germany was succeeding in raising

DRAW
P
Points Out Unjustness and
Untruthfulness of Oregon
ian Editorial
That the elimination of the contract
labor system at the Oregon state peni-
lemiury nas not promoted idleness but
on the other haiid has allowed the pris
oners to be used to the advantage of
nm niaiu, is me text ot a statement
given out by Governor West tins morn
ing in reply to editorials which recently
appeared in the Oregonian. The govcr.
nor pointed out that from the brick
yard fund after purchasim; a lartre tract
of valuable land and making improve
ments, nini iouu wouM be turned back
to the state treasury, Also that labor
had been furnished to public institu
tions which if figured at onlv 41.RD nor
day would have netted over 78,000,
or nearly double what would have, been
received from tho old stovo foundrv
contract.
The Governor's Statement.
The Oregonian in an editorial vester.
day stated:
"Governor West cancelled the stove
foundry contract and thereby personal
ly promoted idleness among the inmates
and a falling off in earnings."
it is true that I camelled tho stove
factory contract, and I am proud of it,
and I am glad to get tho Oregonian on
record in the matter, as it is sure tn
claim later on that the credit is due
to it cr one of its minions.
The other statement as to the idleness
of the inmates and prison earniiitrs is
absolutely untrue.
The Oregonian has taken a cut frntn
State Treasurer Kay anil is inaugurat
ing a campaign to bring about a return
to tne old prison contract system. As
such a movement is most damnable it
is my intention to apeak nt the armofv
next Sunday afternoon, if it can bo so
arranged, to the laboring men and wo
men of the city of Portland and Mult
noinah county. My purpose will bj to
show that there has bcou practically no
idleness at the prison and that the earn
ings havo been grerjer than under the
old system, why.' convict laoor and
prison-mado goods should not be
brought in competition with free labor
and its products aud why said prison
labor should be confined to services
for the state.
The Oregouinn states that there were
1,200,000 brick on hand at the prison
brickyard when I took office. This is
a fact, and it is so shown in the prison
report for the 1911-12 biennial period.
No statement has ever been made by
me to tho contrary, notwithstanding the

The Oregonian, when it is not follow
ing its policy of deliberately lying, us
ually suppresses facts which would show
the truth. It failed to disclose the fact
that the said brick were offset by sales

tnnt after purchasing a valuable tract
or land out ot tne nricKyard iiind, in-
stalli"8 8 number of needed industries
to absorb the labor of the institution
and making a large number of needed
improvements, over $4000 was turned
into the state treasury.
The Oregonian suppressed the fact
that the institutions have been run
without deficiencies as in the past and
it suppressed the fact that nearly $2S,
000 of our appropriations will be turned
back into the general fund unused.
The Oregonian also suppressed the
fact that the penitentiary will carry
over January 1st, in the revolving fund,
about $14,000 in casii and stock.
It also suppressed the fact that la
bor had been furnished public institu
tions which if figured at only $1.50 per
day would amount to over $78,000, or
nearly double what the old stove foun
dry contract would produce.
' It will be my purpose to discuss not
only these things at the armory meet
ing, but the general questions of the
day, such as law enforcement and good
government, the employed question, the
charge the Oregonian some years ago
took blood money from several state
printers and in return covering up the
state printing graft.
On account of the rain Saturday, the
tennis tournament of boys under 10

Enrollment in tho grade and high
schools this morning showed a slight
increase over last year although many
of the pupils have not yet teturned
from the hop yards and prune orchards,
and some will not enter until after the
state fair. County chools opened this
morning at .leffer'son, Keiser, Stayton,

5S7 pupils, an increase of 27 over the
opening day last year and a decided
increase over the fifiO who wore regis

Enthusiasm ran high at the as

a decided success. It
was announced
this morning that tickets aro placed on
snl" at the Commercial book storo and
at Waters cigar store. The rate offer-
when the Chcrrinns will give drills and
sing songs and let the Albany people
know that Hulem is on the map. The
Cherriuns urge that every Salemite who
can possibly go on this excursion get
a ticket and hike right along with
them, for the number that goes will
have a bearing on the number of Eu
gene Radiators that will come here to
visit the state fair next week.
It was known the Radiators were
planning to go to the Pen!eton Round
Up, but on account of tho visit of the
Cherrians this week it is said this trip
has been called off and that the Radi
ators will stay at home to welcome the
Salem people. It is expected a large
delegation of citizens will accompany
the Cherrians, who will go in uniform
in a special train over the Oregon Elec
tric. At the recent meeting of the Cher
rians it was found they ha,? gone $500
in the hole for tbe Cherry fair, and
that an assessment on them was due.
Accordingly each Cherrian dug down
into his pocket and lifted therefrom
$5 to pay for the deficit of the biggest
and best Cherry fair Salem ever held.
The Cherrians are of the opinion that
Salem citizens ought to show sufficient
public spirit to get in and make tne ex- ress.
cursion to Eugene a rousing success,! "The Austrians retreated slightly to
especially when the Cherrians are doing j ,
so much for the city. j (Contiuuod on page 2.)

Sunday, and since then, it was
learned, the Austrians have
abandoned their Jaroslav-Przem-ysl

however, that a garrison was
left, to delay the Russians as
much as possible.
