Reports publish- ed in American newspapers iliat General (.nrranza has demanded the immediate withdrawal of American troops frOm Mexico were declared "absolutely false" by .high officials here today. They also denied that General Carranza had threatened to recall the Mexican commissioners at Atlantic City unless the troops are w ithdraw n at once. Colonel .Tumi Bnrrnpnn. chief nf staff to General Cnrrnnzn. will nccnmiin.iv Ambassador Arredondo back to Wash- ington on a 30 day leave of absence, it was officially announced today. It is generally believed that Barragan is making more than a vacation trip and that he will confer with United States military officers over an arrangement for a military patrol of the border. Clash With Bandits. ' Kl Paso, Texas, Oct. 4. The arrival early today in Juarez of two wounded officers from the Casas (irandes gar rison lent color to the reports that the Carranzista garrison at the latter town nnd a -small body of Villista bandits had clashed near there. Casus (rrandes is lo cated on the communication lines of Pershing's expedition. Many residents of Juarez stayed on the American side of the border last night, fearing an attuck on the town. Current rumors had set the date for an attack by Villistas as October 4. The last report to the military auth orities at Juarez pluced the bandit lead ed in the Guerrero district west of Chi hualiua City, where Villa is reported-encamped and recruiting his forces. Al- inougn mnuniiua city is swarming with Carranzista reinforcements, tho pursuit of the bandits is being delayed JAPANESE CABINET THROW ITS JOB Premier Okuma Owing to Op position In Upper House, Resigns Washington, Oct. 4. Persistent on position ot the dapunese upper, non- clecthie house of parliament to the policies of Premier Okuma, is responsi-. Die tor his resignation, news of which was cabled from Tokjvo today. This is the belief of the embassy here. Okuma 's party controlled the nis- jorily of the loner house, but a coali tion of other parties in the tinner house Svns formed against him. It was said Okuma has for some weeks felt unable tu continue the government and face-tho upper house when it convenes n December. It is understood the premier has been contemplating resigning for some months and has been waiting for a time when he thought he could arrange a successor from nis own party. Vis count Kuto, former minister of foreign affairs under Okuma nnd now leader of the letter's party in the lower house, is said to be tho candidate o that body and of Okuma for the premiership. Okuma 's opponents in the upper house are advocating the nppointment of Count Mnrshul Teruuchi, now governor of Korea. Terauchi, with the title of Marshal, has the highest rank in the Japanese army. Marquis Okuma is 79 years old and has been premier for two and a half years. It is considered likely that his advanced years have something to do with his desire to retire.

Business Increasing and Outlook Is Bright Kncournging reports from the mer chants nnd business men of the city show that there is increased activity along practically till lines and that the prospect for a good winter trade is better than earlier prospects indicated. Lven though the national election is approaching and piditical fortunes are in tho balance, business, according to Salem merchants,, is taking a brighter aspect. People, they state, are recover ing from their Tianirky feelings of the past two years and arc ncginmng to loosen tin anil be a great -deal freer with -their coin. This is evidenced by the larger number of purchases i praeticallv cvVrv line of drv good clothing, and furniture- .According to- a statement nt r.. T. Barnes, business" is " decidedly better this winter thah- last and hrt finds his goods moving with gratifyius rapidity He feels' that thrs is the find of the waves of tlie returning ride-, or pros perity that will soon sweep tlie North west." In' his estimation, the new ac tivity has a permanent look. w" W.

He-j says that- he is contiuent - tlie winier will be remarkable for its return to good and firm trade conditions. He looks with satisfaction on a large in- j crease in September s ousiness for this year over the like peri-d Inst year. and anticipates a general increase until the first of the year. Quite a larue number if new people are arriving in Snlein choosing homes, and bringing their household ' giuds with them, according to the innnager of the -Mlem Truck nnil Cray company. This transfer eoinpanv is foel.i.g tl:? touch of pro:iierity and is wd''iig ils equipment to rapacity to accommodate those who are wanting work done. Their business they state has increased three times over what it was at this timo last vear and accordingly they are more than pleased. With them I CIHNEWS 1 Charley Bayes, -who hag been with Company M on the Mexican border all summer, has enlisted in the service of the United States and will leavo for Portland tomorrow morning, where he will be assigned to either the navy or the army. He expresses a preference for the navy, and will enter that branch of the service if possible. Six other Salem boys have also entered the government service, and are now await ing examination. They are Clarence liuyes, Crosbl; JRoyer, ' Milton (Pete) Cox. Lin Flannagnn, Jo Carver and Leonard Meyers. .0. II. James, of Chicago, formerly with Obis, Wortinau and King of Port land but-now traveling for an under taking house, is in Kalcm today. He arrived this morning from the south and reports snow in and about Medford. He" says it was so cold it required two blankets in the sleepers. He expects to return to Portland sometime in the future and make his home there as he likes the Willamette valley well. - Local republicans are in a condition of enthusiasm over the announcement received last night that Charles War ren Fairbanks, candidate for vice pres ident on the republican ticket, will ad dress a meeting in Salem next Friday. The vice presidential party is expect ed to arrive in Salem over the Oregon Klectric ,nt 1:50 Friday afternoon, and will bo at once escorted to the Marion hotel, where the republican war horses of the community, with their lud'es, will lunch with him at a cost of one dollar per head. Mr. Fairbanks will speak at the armory at 2:H0. He leaves at 4:00. A gathering of the republican county central committee is being held this afternoon for the purpose of dis cussing plans for the meeting, which will be participated in by -both branch es of the Hughes alliance of this city. Thursday night is the limit for re ceiving the last half of the 11)15 tax assessments at the office of the coun ty sheriff, and the usual rush is in progress there. So fust has the tax money been coming in that the clerical force" in the tax department is now about four days behind, and those who have' failed to receive iirKnowledgement of remittances by mail may attribute tho delay to this fact. Taxes amounting to $8200 were taken in yesterday, and the flood of cash continues today and will likely be atill continuing tomor row. Rev. W. R. Jeffrey, Jr., who has been pastor of the Methodist church at Rose burg for the past two years, after be ing appointed to the pastorate of the Hose Ci tv 1'ark cliiircti in j-ortiami, transferred to Sheldon, Illinois, which is a nuiuireci nines souio oi i.imi-uku- 11c will leave for his new .eliarge as soon us possible.

Wedding Follows Close On First Wife's Death Harden Citv. Kan.. Oct. 4. Fred H. (liliuer and his second wife, Delia Oil mer, are today held for investigation in connection with the sudden death of bis first wife, Mrs. Hanna S. Oilmer. Four davs after the first wife's burial the second wedding took place and was celebrated with a dance, according to reports. good times are not coming but already here, and in order to reap full benefits they feel they will be compelled to en largc their equipment, and purchase auto tmesis. These reports of business conditions can be duplicated and indicate that things are not ns had as calamity howlers try to make out.
