SUICIDE MADE
EASY BY SALE OF
DEADLY POISONS

Washington, Oct 29-Suicide is
made too simple and, therefore, is be-
coming too prevalent, because of the
ease with which deadly poisons may
be obtained, in the opinion of DR.. w.
G. woodward, health official of the
District of Colum bia. In a publish ed
appeal today he urged action by Con-
gress to regulate the traffic in deadly
drugs, and especially endorsed bill
now in course of preparation by Rep
resentative Mann of Illinois, govern
ing it's traffic between the States.
cit is too easy to procure poison"
declared DR.. woodward, land it is
equally as true that in many cases
the containers of the poison are not
distinctive enough to insure against
mistakes"
The increasing number of cases of
suicide in the capital has offered a.
serious problem to the health authori-
ties.
The increase is no greater than that
throughout the country, it is declared,
however, and Congressional 1egisla-
ton will be asked.

Y. w. C. A.

The spirit of Halloween is abroad,
and many signs remind us that it is
time to make plans for the Y. W. c.
A. Halloween frolic on Friday night
Of this week. There is always a fas-
cination about looking into the future,
in being frightened by a witch, and
in meeting with a ghost, SO come early
as the clock strikes eight, for at that
hour all these , Mysterious things be-
gin. A fortune teller will read your
fortune in your hand, Halloween
tricks will determine many uncertain
things, such as the color of the eyes
Of your lover. There will be ghost
stories, weird lights, and last bit most
thrilling, "'The Battle of Blenheim''
will be enacted. The Y. W. C. A. at
1887 Broad street is becoming more
and more recreational center, and
the good times on Friday evenings are
becoming increasingly attractive.

PRESIDENT and
BRYAN At WORK
ON MEXICAN PLAN

Washington, Oct. 29-Secretary Bryan
said today that a formal note had
been sent to all the European govern
ments asking them to suspend the
formulation of policy toward Mexico
until the United States had defined
its attitude. While England, France
and Germany, he said, had already
been heard from, it is expected that
the other governments will follow the
three great Powers in awaiting the
the next step in bringing peace in
Mexico.
President Wilson had an early con-
ference with Secretary Bryan today,
and the secretary said afterward that
they were at work on the next step
in the policy to be pursued. 1t is
expected that the United States will
first make formal demand for the
elimination of Huerta and the. conduct
of free and fair elections possibly with
some safeguards to systematic the
election machinery. There was abso-
1utely no comment forthcoming, how
ever, from executive quarters, as to
just what was intended by the United
States; but it was generally agreed in
official circles that some positive &C
tiQn looking toward a solution of the
pforblen would be in line with the
9sp,ectations of the Powers. Steps
l. secure a new election would in
volve negotiations with the Constita-
tionaIists, and there is a confidence
among administration officials that if
guarantees for a free campaign can
be arranged through the establishment
OF a provisional authority in Mexico
City acceptable to the Constitutional
lists, the latter are likely to fall into
line.
Secretary Bryan said that the state
department had not yet decided what
disposition would be made of Gen
Felix Diaz, a refugee aboard the bat
tIeship louisiana
The sailing today of four American
battleships from Hampton Roads to
relieve those in Vera Cruz marks the
first step on the part of the United
States toward complying with the re-
cent declaration or Huerta that for
eign ships had been too long in Mexi-
can waters.
The battleships Rhode Island, Vir-
ginia, Nebraska and New Jersey of the
Third Division of the Atlantic Fleet
will relieve the four vessels of lhe
Second Division which have been on
duty in Mexican waters for several
months, and they are expected to
come north on the arrival of the ships
leaving Hampton Roads today.
Rear Admiral Fletcher will continue
to command the squadron in Mexican
waters because Of his familiarity with
the situation. It is expected that the
ships of the Third Division will reach
Vera Cruz next Monday.

COST OF HIGH LIVING
Portland Man Says Women Have
Grape Fruit Appetite Combined
With an Apple Income.

Evening Telegram: Front street
says that Portland housewives have
a grapefruit appetite and an apple
income. They prove it by pointing
to the carloads of Florida grapefruit
that are being sold weekly and the
overstocked warehouses that are
fairly bursting with good Oregon ap-
pies.
Tonight the women, representing
the household economics department
of the Portland Woman's Club and
about twenty other women's organ
izations that have manifested an in
terest in the cost o. living, will meet
the Retail Grocers' Association in
Alisky hall, Third and Morrison
streets. Out of this meeting it is
expected that three-day apple sale
at reasonable prices will be inaugu-
rated.
Front street says there is no reas-
on for any household going without
apples, for they can be had at from
65 cents a box up. They are ready
to supply the retail grocers with fine
cooking apples, Baldwins, Greetings
and Lucindas, at a price at which
they can be sold to the consumer for
70 cents. Excellent Lucindas Ga
large green cooking apple) can be
bought by consumers for 65 cents a
box of SO pounds. Spitzenbergs, not
of the extra fancy sort but perfectly
good for all common purposes, can
be bought by the grocers for 65
cents box, and will probably sell
for 80 cents. Good Yellow Newtowns
may also be had at from 80 cents
to 81, and sold to consumers at a
small advance.
Just at present the housewives are
distrustful of California oranges.
They have become so imbued with
the idea that they are all frosted
that they will not even try them out.
They also have notion, which the
dealers declare is false, that apples
are exorbitantly high-so with true
feminine logic they buy grapefruit at
from to 15 cents apiece.
These are the facts. The apple
market is glutted. The warehouses
are all full and waiting for the de-
mand that has not as yet come. They
Will have to be moved during the
next month or six weeks, or they will
be loss. The growers have been
holding out against the wholesalers
for better price, but are now be-
! ginning to realize that with the Cali

fornia and other fruits crowding in
they cannot get it. So if the con-
sumer demands apples of the grocer,
asking for apples of the less fancy
grades, he in turn will turn to Front
street and the apple market will
move.
Mrs. A. King Wilson, chairman of
the Woman's Club committee, said
this morning, in speaking of the pro-
posed sale:
I'VE are not simply trying to Gre
ate a demand for apples. We are
beginning a much broader work than
that, starting a movement that will
end in the education of the house
wife and result in better and more
careful buying and a closer co-opera-
tion between her and the grocer. 1t
is a fact that some of the foremost
society women of town, women prom
inent in civic affairs, are the best
economists and are not above carry
ing market basket or making pur-
chases in person. 1t is the middle
class yoman who is afraid to ask for
the cheaper grades of apples, for fear
her grocer will think she is picayun-
ish, and shifts at the idea of packing
eggs for the winter. These women
are in the majority, and they must
learn some lessons in economy if the
cost of living is to be lightened.

ARE IMPOSTORS.
California Towns and Papers Should
Watch for Trio of Beggars.

A trio composed of two men and
woman left Ashland Sunday noon
who should be watched closely by the
police of California towns. They
were seen by representative of the
Tidings Saturday afternoon at Tai
ent, where they were begging in
every store with 2 tale of how one
of the men who had his face done up
in bandages had been poisoned with
poison oak at Grants Pass, even hav-
ing some medicine bearing the label
of a Grants Pass doctor. The It'd
ings man had not been home an hour
when they came into the mechanical
department and were panhandling'
the force on a claim that one of the
men was printer. They beat a
had been watched at Talent, but
were picked up by Chief Oien at the
depot, They strenuously denied be-
ing professional beggars and claimed
that they were due to meet broth
er of the woman here who was
shoe salesman for the Hamilton
Brown Shoe Company. They were
given the choice of going to room
ing house, paying for their lodging
and staying there, or being run in.
They left Sunday non for the south
having plenty of money to pay their
way to Siskiyou
A printer who blew in from the
north said they were playing the
same game in Springfield, Eugene
and other places up the line. Any
one being accosted by professional
beggars will do well to call up cen
tral and have the police summoned.
These people are making as much
money nearly every day as a work
ing man will make in a week and
should be exposed.
