THREAT TO CALL
OFF CLABBY 60
BALKS SAIL OR
Petroskey Forced to Accept
Ben Selig as Referee for
Friday Scrap.

San Francisco, Oct. 2.-The Sailor
PetroskeyJimmy Clabby match is on
again, and the middleweights will
swap wallops In a twenty-round battle
at the Eighth street arena on Friday
evening.
Such was the statement issued this
afternoon by Promoter Jim Coffroth
and Louis Parente. manager of the
former tar. They held long confer
ence. at the conclusion of which Par
ente agreed to accept Benny Selig as
referee. This ended the discussion, so
all is well.
Yesterday Parente informed Coffroth
that Selig would not suit the sailor.
More than one reason was advanced.
To begin with. it was stated that Selig
had spoken disparagingly of Petros-
keys abilities a pugilist after see
ing him in action with Bob McAlIis-
ter. Another reason was that Petros-
key thought Selig showed poor Judg-
ment when he decided the Tommy
Murphy-One Round Hogan contest a
draw. In Petroskey's opinion Murphy
should have been hailed a winner
Coffroth rebelled at the idea of re-
opening the referee question at this
late hour and Parente remained stub
born. saying that some man other than
Selig would have to be chosen
Coffroth finally decided that the
match would be called off unless Pet
roskey changed his views. The sailor
and his manager were given a time
limit in which to accept Seiig, and If
they had decided not to do so Clabby
would have been pur on with Frank
Logan on October 10 However, they
concluded not to balk

FEW WAGERS ON
WORLDS SERIES

New York. Oct. 2.-Betting on the
worlds series has been light in New
York. but few wagers have been laid
at even money.
One bet was recorded here at odds
of to that Mathewson would pitch
the first game. Another bet was re-
ported at even money that Demaree
would win his first game. A third bet
was that the series would go six
games. This bet also was at even
money. One Giant enthusiast offered
L to that the Giants would win the
first three games, but found no takers.
Infinite were the variations on which
the early bettors laid their money. One
man bet even money that the Athletics
would make more runs during the total
games than the Giants would. An
other offered even money that the Ath-
letics would lead in hitting.

SEVEN GENERALS PROPOSE
SURRENDER TO REBELS

Juarez, Mexico-Seven generals of
the Mexican regular army are ready
to surrender and the backbone of the
Huerta dictatorship in the north has
been broken. A peace commission
has arrived in Juarez bearing terms of
surrender. The peace commission
was headed by Odilon Hernandez and
came from Chihuahua bearing a proc
lamation signed by General Salvador
Mercado, Huerta's military governor
and commander of the federal forces
in all the north. The proclamation
said that the Huerta government was
bankrupt and was unable to pay its
soldiers.
The simultaneous evacuation Of
other federal strongholds in the north
is believed by the rebels to be the
result of concerted decision to aban-
don the whole of Northern Mexico.
The peace proposals were sent by
General Mercado to General Francisco
Villa, rebel leader, through FREDERICK
Moye, civil governor of Chihuahua
state, appointed ad interim. With it
came an appeal signed by all the for
eign consuls in Chihuahua calling on
Villa to give police protection to the
citizens of Chihuahua City.

Washington College Seeks
New Smut-Defy flying Wheat

Walla Walla, Wash. That the State
college experiment station is trying
to grow wheat which will resist smut,
was told at the college extension
school here. G. Schaefer said that
the college has secured an Alaskan
wheat which resists smut, but which
has a low yield and milling quality.
It has been crossed with Washington

ity, and it is hoped the hybrid will
have the good qualities Of both.
L. C. Crow, of Pullman, president
Of the State Farmers union, said the
organization in five years had saved
farmers over $4,000, 900, an average
Of $500 for the 1000 members. He

Main Bank of Mexico
Forced to Close Doors

Monterey, Mex.-The Banco Mer-
camille, bank of issue in which the
Madero family is heavily interested,
closed its doors Saturday. Announce-
ment is made that this action was due
to the unsettled conditions in the coun-
try. Ernesto Madero, an uncle Of the
late President Madero, was for years
manager of the bank. Anticipating
an attack by rebels, the commander
of the federal garrison here has con-
structed entertainments at the ap-
proaches to the city, though the near
est rebels to Monterey are those at
Linares, between Monterey and Vic
toria. The troops here paraded in or
der to give the public the impression
that Monterey had strong garrison.

PENDLETON BRAVES WOULD
FIGHT FOR UNCLE SAM

Pendleton, Or. - Indians on the
Umatilla reservation are ready to
fight. Not against Uncle Sam this
time, but for him against Mexico.
This was learned upon receipt of q
letter from Richard Adams, president
of the Brotherhood of North American
Indians, who asked the Umatillas to
be ready to raise company.
The local branch Of the brotherhood
has not been meeting lately, so the
request was not acted upon, but the
younger braves are wildly enthusiastic
over the prospect of fighting. A
meeting is to be called at once.
Rev. Mr.. Cornelison, Indian mis-
sionary, said he would be chaplain II

Huerta has been assured loan Of
$50, 900 pesos by an American corpor-
alton with Mexican connections.

City's Work Arranged to
Benefit WOrkingmen

Portland-For the benefit of labor
ers and others unable to secure work
during the winter months, the city
commission has decided to change it's
heavy construction season in the water
and sewer departments from Summer
to the winter months. In accordance
with the policy, as much of the sewer
and water main laying will be put
through between now and spring as
possible, and work will be shut down
during the summer, either partially
or altogether.
The change is season has been
brought about by labor conditions
which members of the commission say
are bad. Mayor Albee says there is
not day that he does not receive
letters, telephone calls or personal
calls from persons who cannot get
work and have families to support.

Alien Cooks May Be
Barred From Country

New York - Jean Melton, chef at
the Ritz-Carlton hotel, was indicted
by the United States grand jury for
violating the contract labor law in
hiring 80 cooks through agents in
France. The Indictment is said to
be the first fruit Of q government
crusade against the importation Of
cooks, practiced by many of the big
New York hotels and restaurants.
The hotel men have taken the ground
that French cook is an artist and
that by hiring them abroad they are
no more amenable to the contract labor
law than the managers Of grand opera
are when they engage their European
singers.

President Wilson, she continued,

Wilson had the opportunity of speak

Although President Wilson urged
congress to hold itself to the two chief
noiects, tariff and currency, several
matters of general Importance were
considered. One important legisla-
five act was the so-called Newlands
law for mediation and Cancellation in
labor disputes.
The adjustment of the United
States Commerce court also was ac-
complished, through an amendment to
the deficiency appropriation bill. An
other appropriation bill "rider" took
out of the classified civil service most
of the deputy United States marshals
and deputy collectors of internal rev.
enue. Exemption of labor unions
from prosecution under the antitrust
laws so far as certain funds were con-
cerned also was accomplished.
The long fight over the proposed tax
on cotton futures to prevent "cotton
gambling" failed in the final develop
ments prior to the passage of the tar
if bill. Many bills which underwent
preparation in the committee rooms
will be pushed to conclusion in the
new congress. These include the
"seaman's servitude bill" which
passed the senate; the Hetch Hetchy
BILL to grant San Francisco a water
supply right in that valley, which
passed the house and is to be voted on
by the senate early in the session, and
the Alaskan railway bill, which the
senate has agreed to take up in De-
cember. The Alaskan measure would
provide for government railroads to
open Alaska's resources.

Headquarters Of Constitutionalists
Established at Chihuahua
Mexico City by Xmas"

Juarez, Mex.-A new era has begun
in Northern Mexico. It marked the
peaceful occupation by the rebels of
the territory abandoned by Huerta's
federal troops.
With 1000 rebels, General Villa, en-
route from Juarez to the evacuated
city Of chihuahua, passed through
Asumada, IS miles south of the bor-
der, and camped at Montezuma, 80
miles further south. Five thousand
more rebels will join him on the way
and, with a combined force Of 1000
men, he will enter the state capital,
there to establish what will be the
temporary military headquarters of
the constitutionalist party.
The departure Of the rebel forces
from Juarez, with their equipment,
made four trains, a garrison of 100
soldiers having been left behind to
guard the border town. AS far as
Asumada, Villa has restored the tele-
graph and the railroad line to Monte
yuma, where it is interrupted by
burned bridges. It is to be recon-
structed as rapidly as possible.
When the rebels enter chihuahua
with the tattered Mexican flags which
they are carrying as symbolical of
their demands for a restoration of
constitutional government, they will
have Zacatecas as the nearest federal
stronghold on the south. It is toward
that city that Villa insists he will
march.
The flight of General Salvador Mer-
cado, the federal governor, and COM
mander-in-chief, with all his officers
and troops, after sending peace COM
mission to Villa, whose answer he did
not wait to receive, makes possible the
rebel occupancy Of the city without a
fight. No word was received from
the fleeing federal generals and band
of civilian refugees. The rebels ex-
pressed the belief that after escorting
the civilians to the border the officers
might retreat to Nuevo Leon state, as
Generals Orozco and Salazar are under
Indictment in the United States for
violation of the neutrality laws.
Monterey and the few remaining
federal strongholds in Nuevo Leon and
other northern states, Villa said,
would be left to local bands of rebels.
He intends to direct his main army
toward Mexico City.
IT will have 10000 men surround
ing Mexico City about Christmas
time, said Villa.
