WILSON TRYING TO ELIMINATE
DICTATOR IN ORDER TO SOLVE
MEXICAN PROBLEM.
Policy OF United States Made Known
In Diplomatic cIrcles Abroad and
General Support ls Expected.

Washington. Though every official
OF the United States government has
been cautioned to maintain absolute
silence while the plans OF the Wash
ington administration for solving the
Mexican problem are worked out, 1t
became known from many well In
formed sources on Sunday that a gu
preme effort is being made to bring
abut General Victoriano Huerta's re-
tirement from the provisional presi-
dency OF Mexico.
1t is the belief OF the administra-
ton that any plan for constitution
al election In Mexico depends on
Huerta's elimination, and some dec
laration from Huerta now is awaited.
The future policy OF the United
States Is being quietly and informally
made known In diplomatic circles
abroad and there are intimations be
fore many days foreign governments
generally will have been apprised OF
the American attitude. 1t is unlikely
there will be any publication of the
American policy until Europe has
been formally sounded out. What the
United States desires, 1t Is believed.
rs that the powers shall indicate their
support Of its efforts to solve the
problem before it approaches the
Mexico City administration in a final
enort TO secure the elimination OF
Huerta.

MANY DEATHS
In THE FLAMES
CHEAP LODGING HOUSE BURNED
AT BOSTON TODAY AND GREAT
LOSS OF LIFE.
Trapped Like Rats In a Trap-27 Per-
ish Among 175 Sleeping Structure
Burned Like Tinder.

BOSTON, Dec. 3-In a fire which
destroyed the Arcadia, a Washington
street lodging house early today 81
people perished. The property was
a five-story 15-cent lodging house and
the worst type of fire trap. 1t burn
ed like tinder and the occupants were
all men. Those who escaped were
driven to street and were almost or
quite naked, SO fiercely did the flames
persue them.
Twenty-four died by the fire within
and were burned beyond recognition.
"A negro jumped from a window and
was killed George Adams, the only
one identified, and one unidentified
man were taken out of the burning
building alive but later died from their
burns at the hospital. Two others
taken out, physicians said, could not
survive
There were ITS men asleep in the
building when the fire started. Leap
ing upward from the lower hall the
flames cut off escape from the upper
floors by the stairway. The flames
spread so rapidly that not many were
able to flee by the stairway and the
only fire escape was at the rear
The second floor was devoted main
ly to offices and on the third floor
there were sleping rooms furnished
with cots. On the fourth floor were
smaller rooms and on the fifth the
dormitory was lined with hunks in
tiers.
1t was among the dodgers on the top
floor that most of the fatalities occur
red. The fire department worked
with difficulty and there were many
thrilling escapes.

PREPARE FOR PORTLAND GAME
Varsity Football Squad VIII Train
Lightly Until VacatiOn-Then
Grind VIII Begin.

The football team at the varsity will
be out in suits again next Saturday af-
ternoon after a weeks rest since the
Thanksgiving game at Corvallis. From
now until the opening of the Christmas
vacation Coach Griffith will put the
team through but one practice each
week in order that the post season
work in preparation for the New Years
contest with Multnomah may not inter-
fere at all with the class work of the
players.
During the entire Christmas recess,
however, the team will go through two
workouts each day to get back into
shape for the Portland game. 1t is
thought now that perhaps some of the
best men on the team will not be able
to go into the post season game on ac-
count of their being called away from
Moscow on business matters.

CORN SHOW WAS
GREAT SUCCESS
r. B. MILLER, O.-W. X. & N. Official,
TELLS OF SUCCESS OF THE
COLFAX SHOW.
His Company is Furthering Such Ex.
hibitiOns with a Hope of Benefit
ting Livestock Industry.

The O.-W. R. & ~ company is doing
great work in encouraging thu
growth of the corn industry in the
! northwest This was thoroughly de
| monstrated in the great corn exhibition
at Colfax which closed today ano
where there were 127 exhibitors.
Interest in the show was extremely
marked by the great number of entries
made there and we feel highly elated al
the prospects for the future" said r.
B. Miller, Of Portland, general traffic
manager of the O.-W. R. & N COM
pany, who was in Moscow for a brief
visit today. Mr.. Miller was accompan-
led to the city by c. w. Mount, district
freight and passenger agent for the
company, with headquarters at Spo-
kane
THE corn show at Colfax was the
first held west of the Rocky mountains
and naturally it was something new
and novel to the people," continued Mr..
Miller, however it was evident that
the farmers of the Palouse country
have recognized the value of corn as
one of the great crop possibilities of
this country and we believe they will
bend their efforts more in the direction
of growing corn in the future than they
have in the past.
"Our object in furthering such ex-
hibitions as was held at Colfax is to
encourage the growing of corn believ-
ing that the results will be greatly
beneficial to the livestock indutry. This
naturally aids our own business and
at the same time produces a profitable
return for the farmer.
Few people now realize the bene-
fits to be derived from corn culture.
however, like all great things of this
character, the public must be properly
educated and the movement will ex-
pand rapidly. A few years ago when
were dS d DOSSlDll-
ity, the idea seemed incredulous to the
people, but now the advancement in
this line has removed all doubt and
the people have accepted the new or
Ter of things with faith in its ultimate
success. So it is with the propaganda
Of corn culture. The public will grad
tally see the great benefits and before
l great while the development of the
.orn industry will be an assured sue
,ess"
Mr. Miller stated today that the COM
pany would continue to aid and en-
ourage the holding of such exhibit
ions in hte future.
Mr. Miller and Mr.. Mount spent the
Lfternoon visiting local business men.
They will leave tonight for Lewiston
where they will attend the livestock
how.

ACTIVE CAMPAIGN.
STARTED TODAY
PITTSBURG CHAMBER OF COM.
MERGE STARTS PROPAGANDA
TO AVERT FLOOD DAMAGE.
Flood Commission Has Issued State
ment and Big Fight to Save Life
and Property Has Begun.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 3.-Urged by
the prospect of flood loss of 40,000,-
600 in this city within the next twen-
ty years, the chamber of commerce
was today engaged in an active cam
paign for flood prevention Booklets
containing report from the Pits
burg Flood Commission were being
prepared for distribution and business
men were being buttonholed and ask
ed to aid in spreading the propaganda.
Great Financial Loss.
Situated on the Ohio, the Mononga-
hela and the Youghiogheny rivers,
Pittsburg offers miles OF water front
to flood ravages. And with the ri
vers rising above flood stage with in
creasing frequency, the $12,000,000
lost by flood within the past decade
sinks into insignificance when con-
trasted with the greater losses fore
casted IF the city continues its past
policy of unprogressive resignation"
The commission was appointed by the
chamber of commerce in 1908, after
three floods between March IA, 1907,
and March 21, 1908, had caused direct
loss of $6,500,0O0.
Fear Future Damage.
In its report the commission sets
forth that floods are occurring with
frequency and at greater
height and that the city will some day,
in the not dim future, experience a
disastrous forty-foot flood unless
works for flood relief are more than
