OREGON CASES ARE IN
 KEEPING OF THE COURT
Principle of Direct Legislation Will Soon be Passed Upon by
 the Supreme Tribunal.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Nov. 3.-The critical way with which the supreme court listened today to arguments that initiative and referendum legis- ton is unconstitutional brought en- couragement to friends of the system. Oral argumentc for both sides were completed before court adjourned for the day F. $. Pillsbury. of San Francisco, and R. R. Duniway. of Portland. Ore, were heard in opposi- tiOn to the method in two oregon cases. When Pillsbury remarked there could not be. with due regard to the federal constitution, two legislative powers in a state, namely, a legis- lature and the people, Judge Lurton interrupted him.
 What is a state constitution but an organized act of legislation by the people?' he inquired. Pillsbury ad- mitted the truht of that statement. eat-argued that legislative power is limited by hte constitution It was further argued that taxes imposed under the initiative methods are not by due process of law" and are in violation of the equal proction of law so long as some persons are taxed under initiative laws and oth- CTS under legislative laws.

 trated by Soldiers.

LONDON. Nov. 3.-Agitation against alleged atrocities by Italian troops against Turks and Arabs at Tripoli which has sprung up in the British press. and is supported by few mem bers of the house of commons. re- ceived fresh impetus tonight through a telegram received by a news agency from Herbert Montague. second lieu tenant in the Fifth Fusilliers. He telegraphed from SOukel Yohma by way of De Hibal on the frontier as follows:
 'I feel it my duty to send you the following telegram. I beg you in the name of Christianity to publish it throughout England. I am a British officer now voluntarily serving in the Turkish army. As you know already about the ferociOus resistance offered the Italians by the Turks and Arabs. I can only express my admiration for their bravery and fortitude, which would warm the heart of any English man in the world. Imagine our feel ings when entering and driving the Italians out of huts which they had fortified and were holding. we discov- cred the bodies of some 120 women and children, their hands and feet bound and their bodies mutilated, pierced and torn. Later. in another town, we found a mosque filled with bodies of women and children, their bodies mutilated. There must have been three or four hundred of these.

HAD ACCIDENT
 NEAR IMPERIAL
Cylinder Blew Out and Dar- ing Aviator Coasted a Distance of Two Miles to Find Favorable Landing Place.

IMPERIAL JUNCTION, Cal, Nov. 3.-Aviator C. P. Rodgers crossed the border line of his trip from New York to Pasadena today. and tonight. with his disabled engine resting at Imperial Junction, he is awaiting i'm patiently the opportunity again to take the air and finish his epoch making flight. He came down here at 10:25 this morning when. flying four thousand feet in the air above the southeast end of Salton lake, one cylinder of his engine blew out the head. Guiding the machine dexter ously, Rodgers voloplaned two miles to safe landing. coming down cas- fly and coasting to a stopping place opposite the railroad station as though his machine was in perfect working order
 The special train learned Rodgers was down when it reached Yuma Full speed was put on to this place and within ten minutes after it's ar rival mechanicians, under Rodgers direction, were at work rebuilding the engine with parts of an engine wrecked earlier on the trip. The time Rodgers left Stoval Siding. where he spent the night, is not officially known. He passed over Yuma sixty miles from StOval, at S:35. flying as close as he dared above the house. tops. He was scheduled tO stop at Yuma for breakfast, but instead con- tinuued straight on through, disap- pointing several hundreds who had gathered to get a close glimpse of the daring aviator.
 It is believed he has broken two worlds records today by flying 133 miles in 125 minutes. using only fif- teen gallons of gasoline. His speed for over a hundred miles heretofore was much less than that and the gas oline record also not so good. He announced tonight that he expected to repair his engine by noon tomorrow, and if he does. he will reach Pasadena between 3 and 3:3O o'clock. Gigantic preparations have been made to re- ceive him.

ELECTION CALLED
 Oh LEWIS FRANCHISE
Matter Will Be Placed Before the Peo-
 pie For Action December IS.

Phoenix is to have another election, the third one scheduled between now and Christmas. This was decided last night by the city council which dur ing a committee meeting for the con sideration of the application of R. Allyn Lewis for a street railway fran chise. came to order in special session. passed a resolution calling an election on December 15 to place the question before the people for their approva, or rejection. The council then resum- ed its deliberations in committee.
 It might be asked by some why the council has called two elections on street railway franchises instead of considering them both together The answer is that the applicants for the franchises pay for the expense of the election and neither of them desires to have the matter of his franchise confused with that of the other.
 The application of Mir. Lewis is for a line to be operated by storage bat tery, without the use of trolley or cleo tric wires in any way.

LOS ANGELES, Nov 3.-The Me- Namara case today dragged along through variety of unimportant de- tail and finally adjourned until Mon day, with the status quo unchanged. the box not filled. There were eleven talesmen passed for cause and three are still needed. Fourteen will be drawn, as the law allows this in cases of importance which are likely to be long drawn out. Two extras will act as substitutes in case the regulars are incapacitated.
 Practically the entire day was used in determining the eligibility of Tales man H. " Blenkiron. The state tried to find out if the name is properly on the assessment roll, if he owned prop erty or if he had sold it. Finally the court became so weary that the state turned to question his belief as to cir cumstantial evidence. This paved the way for a challenge and he promptly disqualified.
 While arguments were going on as to property qualifications, many in court and the court itself once yawned Attorney Horton for the state sug- gested that the talesmen be taken out for an airing while the arguments were on.
