BOWERS VERY ILL Men High In Business Circles Accused of Selling Worth less Stocks Philadelphia, Dec. 11. A gigantic swindle exceeding even the wildest dream of the mythical J. Rufus Wal lingford, was revealed today, officials declared, when United States postal in spectors conducted a wholesale raid that resulted in warrants being issued for the arrest of men who had formerly stood well in Philadelphia business cir cles. One of the swindles is declared by the authorities to have involved $2,500,- 000 most of it the money of widows and orphans. Eight companies named by the auth orities as being involved are: The International Gas and Electric company, Philadelphia. Buchman and company, Logan, Phila delphia. Concord Gas company, Concord, N. C. The Suburban Oas company of East Syracuse, N. Y. The Gaston Gas company, Gaston, N. C : Georgetown Railway and Light com pany, Georegtown, H. C. Southern Gas and Electric company, Philadelphia. With the single wexception of the Bankers of Independence, all passed in to the hands of a receiver in December, 1615, in one grand smash, said Smith. Three men were arrested thus far to day. They are: George P. Lancaster, Albert. Lancaster and Percy K. Kissing er, all of Philadelphia. They are charged with using the mails to de fraud. Three other men of the same concern already are under, indietment on the same charge. They are: Clawson Bach man, Joseph T. Hayden and Amos F. Nissiley, the latter of Steelton, Pa. In special automobiles, escorted by city detectives, the postal inspectors started on a round of the homes where members of the nation-wide gang lived. Arrests will sxceel 20 before the raid is over, the authorities declared, and ttMB-sMsjraMHana-nasjBianHBBimBsjsjanasiHsii AUTHORITY PLACED IN HANDS OF FIVE TO CONDUCT THE WAR By Ed L. Keen (United Press staff correspondent) Loudon, Dec. 11. The energizing force of Lloyd-George 's magic touch has within five days electrified the British nation. While the new war dictator was to day forced to his bed with a chill brought on by a fortnight of 20 hour working days, Ixmdon was in a fever of enthusiasm or the new order. That the most cursed and most respected figure in the last half century of Brit ish politics is to have the full force of the British nation behind him in what ever he does became evident today. Not only the press of the nation, but the faces of every man, woman and street urchin reflected the fact. ' The seemingly impossible has been ac complished, 'i lie hard shell of British conservatism has been cracked. Vener ation for precedent and the thing which "is done" has gone into the discard. For the first time since August 1, 1914, John Bull is looking forward, not Btumbling along with his glance back over his shoulder. Triumph of Democracy While the German press is referring with contempt to the new British "dic tator," Englishmen, even staunch con servatives of the Xorthcliffe type, are visualizing the 'new, development as democracy's greatest triumph of the century. Moreover, it is apparent that Lloyd George is DO man's man, but his own. Charges of newspapers antagonistic to the Welshman that be was a mere tool of Lord Xorthcliffe have been effectu ally dissipated by Uoyd-George 'i choice of two men in his ministry who have been particularly mider the fire DEUTSCHLAND IS HOME Berlin, Dec. 11.

Mr. Thompson of The Peo ple's Meat Market inserted an ad in which his phone number SI!H was printed W& The latter number proved to be an apartment in the Court Apartments. The residents of the apartments spent most all of this morning telling folks that they would not be aole to fill the meat orders that they were insisting on leaving. We insert this apology to the Court Apartments and in order that they will not have to stay homo this evening to answer the phone or fill meat orders.

Bowers, wife of "Pop" Bowers, man ager of the Calhoun hotel, was reported by physicians today in a very serious condition. Mrs. Bowers is not expected to survive the day.

THE OREGON A A Leader-Results are our Want Acb They load the way to Better pasta better Workers supreme command, tlie lirilisli people see a free people's answer to the claim, repeatedly made since August 1, that in a crisis their democincv with its scat tered control and its divided authority cannot cope with the efficiency nnd the force of centralized power possible under an autocracy of the German type. Prance went a long way toward de veloiing the Herman argument so far as it concerned the military, when she produced .loffre. The British believe thev have clinched the argument (even though it required -H months) by a pro cess of elimination which has finally placed in the hands of the man who has had the confidence of an overwhelming majority the supreme power to mobil ize and direct the entire strength of the British empire. Just "Pep" and "Ginger" It is the British idea that democracy has answered autocnuiy by showing that it does not fear centralized power but has gone a step further by select- ing its own administration of that pow- j The new order contains six striking, characteristics that the old order lack-1 ed initiative, innovation, expedition,1 nationalism, concentration and cour age. Apparently l.loyd-George first de termination was that the administra tion to be successful must institute an entirely new system in the conduct of the war and in cabinet procedure re gardless of precedents ami traditions, The rapidity with which he not only corralled the support of the labor party and made up the personnel of the cab inet, but actually got his new war council workinte before the members were sworn in, demonstrates not only j the "ginger" of the man who is now England's prime minister, but his ap-! preeiation of the vital urgency of the situation Britain now faces. Embodies All Elements The new government embodies in an j unprecedented degree all England's na- j lional elements. It is noteworthy in i that business men eliminate as much as possible the purely professional poli tieians heretofore bulking largely in cabinets. A striking illustration of the w ide range shown in Lloyd-George 's ; selections is in the laborites, who were called upf.n among his 2-X department , heads. One, Arthur Henderson, be comes a member of the war council. lie started life as an iron moulder, John Hodge, minister of labor, la tba head of the steel smelters corporation.
