HOT SPRINGS, va, Nov. 2i.--
Prcsidcnt-elcct Taft and Representa-.
tive Burton Of Ohio had another ex.
tended conference today at which
the Speakership question was dis
cussed as well as Nearly everything
else" as Taft afterwards put it.
After the conference Fuller gave
out a statement in which he stated
he was not assuming TO speak for
Taft but only to express what seems
TO Burton to be a correct view OF the
situation. Burton says the President
elect made certain promises before
election, one of these for tariff re-
vision. No doubt, Burton goes on
to say, Taft would oppose Cannon
very reluctantly, but as the head Of
his party, as well as President-eleci
Of the United States, he is bound to
meet the expectations OF the people
and to insist upon observance to par
ty pledges. Burton goes on to say
that the speaker has great power in
repressing legislation and il this re-
pressive influence should stand in the
way there would be but one course
for the President-elect to pursue and
that is to exert his influence against
obstruction. Concluding Burton says;
at is to be hoped there will be
such harmony and concert of action
between the President-elect and
Speaker Cannon that the contest
will be avoided"
Judge Taft would make no state
ment for publication on the subject,
Those who have talked with him
say his determination "To prevent
obstruction" is most vigorous. Bur-
ton wished to make no prediction as
to the outcome OF this determine
ton would be, saying the whole sit
uation as he saw il was contained in
his statement. Regarding the possi-
bility Of his becoming candidate for
speaker Burton said he was "None
the less candidate for Senator be-
cause of his visit here"

gon football team won the contest
from the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege today BY score Of 5 to 0. II
was a kicking game throughout and
1t was Captain Moullen's superiority
in this branch Of the game that en-
abled the University boys to carry
off the honors All the scoring was
in the first half and was on place
kicks. MoulIen made his FIRST try
from the collegians 35-yard line after
the ball had been in play about ten
minutes. His second effort was a
failure, the ball going out Of
bounds, and the third effort was from
the Agriculturist's 42-yard line, and
though the kick was from bad posi-
ton, Moullen shot the ball between
the posts with the directness Of
cannon. The second half was almost
a succession OF one punt after an
other. The University tried several
times to repeat their successes Of the
FIRST half, but to no avail. Twice the
Agriculturists essayed the forward
pass but each was dismal failure
and resulted in loss Of yardage The
attendance at today's game was pos
sibly the greatest at any football
game ever played in the Pacific
Northwest. The day was most un-
propitious, rain falling throughout
the contest, drenching everything
except the ardor Of the players and
enthusiasm Of the spectators. There
were in the neighborhood Of 10000
people present. The receipts viii
approximate $4,000 which after the
expenses are deducted will Be divid-
ed equally between the contesting
