A big seven passenger touring car,
or the remains of one rather, are lying
in the Salem auto garage on West State
street, and it was learned this morning
that the now delapidated machine is
the property of well known former
druggist of this city and leading cap
italist of Salem. 1t has also been as.
certained that the touring ear all but
turned turtle on the Turner road about
one mile west of the Oregon training
school about 3 clock yesterday morn
ing.
According to the only information
that could be CLEANED today, there were
five persons in the auto when 1T went
over the grade. The Club stable sent
IN ambulance and brought in the
injured people, a man and woman. 1t
is said that the driv of the ear, whose
name is being kept secret for some
unknown reason, sustained broker
arm, and that one of the women pas
sengers, whose name is also unknown
received several bruises about the 1eat
and body.
The utmost secrecy is being maintain
ed by the garage managers and other
interviewed today concerning the aeci
dent. The proprietors OF the Salen
auto garage state that they do not knoV
how the accident occurred and refuse

AS was predicted would be the case,
the board of trustees of Willamette
university yesterday took action which
virtually discharges both the six mem
bers of the faculty and the president
who have been engaged in the trouble
that has been going on at the univer-
sity the past year.
While the president was given
years leave Of absence on full pay, i
was with the understanding that his
active supervision of the university
ceased August /, 1914, and that he was
to finish arrangements he had under
way with eastern parties for the giving
of funds to the university building
fund before June l, 1915, when mis- pay
is to cease.
While four of the six members OF the
group of faculty members who were ex'
peeted to 90 were reelected, 1t was
understood that they expected to re
sign il DR.. Homan was allowed TO con
tinue as president, and if DR.. Patterson

BLIND GIRL TAKES POISON
BELIEVE GIRL KILLED SELF
Blind Singer Was Friend of Helen
Keller and Worry Over Finance Is
Thought To Be Suicide Cause.

Oakland, Cal, June 1.-THE police
had made little progress toward solving
the mystery of the death of Miss Helen
Mesow, blind concert singer, whose
body was found late last night in her
apartments here. W. C. Dohrman, a
card from whom was found in the
woman's rooms, stated today that he
had transacted some realty deals for
the family of the dead girl recently and
that the note on his card was written
more than a month ago. 1t reads
"Helen: want you to come to sup
per with me tonight. This is our last
night.
Dohrman evidently assumed that
some of her friends would read the mes
sage for her and this fact would indi-
cate lack of any ulterior motive. He
asserts that he took an interest in the
girl, but beyond that there was nothing
between them.
Dohrman assumes that Miss Mesow
committed suicide and that her motive
for so doing was worry over finances
Her parents are separated. She was Q
sister of Mrs. Roland Fitch, also q sing
er, and wife of an attorney of this city
Another sister is also married.
Miss Helen Mesow appeared on thu
Orpheum circuit some time ago as "Th'
Blind Choir Girl Singer. She was
friend of Helen Keller and at the tim
the great blind woman appeared II

tertainment.
An inquest was scheduled for thi
forenoon.

a wealthy physician of joaquin, Shelby

The beautiful 19-year-old wife Of
Virgins, who is 40 years of age, is ex-

Entire Nation Feels Deeply
Humiliation inflicted by
the Balkans
ARE READY TO SHOW
FIGHTING ABILITY
1t Is Not Believed the Powers
Will Intervene in the
Coming Conflict

Constantinople, Juns 17.-What is
left of it's boiling with eagerness to
fight Greece.
The upper class Turks hope to profit
by a war. The masses have not been
educated up to the occidental point Of
asking themselves what they will get
out Of il.
The whole country naturally feels
deeply the humiliation Of its recent de-
feat by the Balkan allies The feeling
is general that to some extent this can
I be wiped out by q successful campaign.
The people want oshow the world that
the ycan really fight
Even the rank and file realize that
they were sent into the Balkan struggle
unprepared Much confidence is felt
in Enver Pasha, better known as Enver
Bey, who has been war minister Tor the
past few months. 1t is pretty generally
understood that Enver believes the
Turks can beat the Greeks, His admir-
ers are sure he would not think this II
he had not good reason for it.
Believe Turks VIII Rise.
4 1T is pointed out, too, that in the
territory Greese wfested from the sui
tan there still live thousands Of Turks.
The people here are confident these
turks will rise against the conquerors
as soon as hostilities are declared.
Probably they are right in this opinion.
That the Greeks former allies will
interfere in the struggle, If one comes,
is deemed more than unlikely. They
were completely exhausted by their
, fight with Turkey which, though beat
en- with far greater resources and much
larger numbers than their enemies,
r were by no means so badly broken as
/ the latter by the Balkan war.
! Powers Are Jealous
/ Neither do the sultan's advisors
n think the powers will intervene 1t is
realized that the powers want no more
g fighting in the Balkans but it is also
I appreciated that they are so jealous OF
g one another and so fearful that they
a themselves will become involved, that
they will hesitate long time before
q attempting to take a hand in the affair
v No well.informed Turk tries to hid'
V that in this case, Turkey will be forcing
" hostilities. Their view is that Greece
d among the Balkan allies, attacked
Turkey at its own convenience, and tha
Il now il is time for Turkey to suit 1T
own interests in attacking Greece.

PREDICTION IS MADE THAT CONSTITUTION
ALIST CHIEFTAN WILL BE The MASTER
Denias Of Break Not Accepted Because Similar Seizures
Were Made at Other Mexican Cities Simultaneously
With One at Juarez---ReVOlt Is BlOOdess

Washington, June 17.-Despite the
denial attributed to General Villa of
any intention to break with General
Carranza, administration officials here
were much worried today by the news
that followers of Villa had depOsed
the Carranzistas in authority at Juarez
and put themselves in their places.
This uneasiness was not lessened by
vague reports of similar proceedings
farther south of the border or by the
story that Villa had summoned the COM
manders of garrsOns throughout the
territory he controls to report to him
at Torreon. State department agents
on the border were instructed to report
at once and in full concerning the sit
uatiOn.
The Mexican constitutionalist junta
was without news but its members said
if any friction really existed, they were
sure General Carranza's s diplomacy
would smooth matters out.
Friends Deny Break.
Ell Paso, Texas June 17.--FFiends of
General Villa denied here today on his
behalf they said, that he had broken
with General Carmnza.
His subordinates seizures of the con-
stitutionalist bureau of information and
telegraph offices in Juarez and the ar
rest Of the Carranzista officials In
charge of them, it was explained, were
due to misinterpretation of orders
sent by Villa to Colonel Ornelas, whC
was in military command at Juarez.
II was stated with much emphasi!
that Villa had no intention of causing
breach in the rebel ranks.
Despite this declaration by Villa
friends, 80 Carranzista officials whit
were arrested at Ornelas order wer'
sent today to Torreon where Villa wa
supposed to be.
These were Perez AbTeu, who ha'
charge of the information bureau, tele
graphers who were handling message
from the front and employees in tn
custom house and treasury, whic
Ornela also seized.
Censorship A Cause.
1t was understood one of the cause
of Villa s reported dissatisfaction wit
Carranza's handling of constitutionalis
ing why it seemed necessary to him
of the formers kilograms and many b.
lieved his reason for wanting the opel
ators at Torreon was to learn from the
who was responsible for holding up h
wire correspondence.

that, when the situation clears, VII
will be found in control througho'

Coup Not Understood.

here was thought to be a part of we

act against CarranZa and setting forth
his own and his mems attitude
The statement from Saltillo that Villa
resigned his army csnmand TO Decoe
governor of the state of Chihuahua was
not generally credited.
One account was he determined to
take the reins of authority from Car
rama s hands because of an attempt on
his superior s part to induce General
Angeles to take over the command
Villa has hitherto held. Angeles,
though secretary of war in Carranza s
cabinet, is a supporter of Villa and it
was said he refused to supplant the
latter.
Should the Niagara Falls eonferees
choose Mexican provisional president,
Angeles was understood to be Villa 5
candidate.
One reason why the denials that
Villa has broken with Carranza were
not generally accepted here was that
incidents similar to the one at Juare7
were reported to have been enacted at
Torreon, chihuahua City and Jiminez
Ornelas, it was remarked, might have
misinterpreted his orders but 1t was
hardly likely the commanders at Other
points would have made the samt
mistake.
Revolt Bloodless.
. Villas own American lawyer herr
was authority for the statement thai
all books, papers and records relating
to the constitutionalist government
business in cities as far south as Tor
reon were seized simultaneously will
the seizure at Juarez.
The revolt against Carranza, if ther
really has been revolt, has bee
