both TEAMS PICKED
BY COACHES TO LOSE
Washington and U. Of 0. Each
Mourns In Advance
Over Defeat

Eugene, Ore, Nov. 4.--Among those
present in Eugene today Tor the Oregon
Washington foosball game was Mr.. j.
Pluvius, and he prougnt his little
sprinkler along.
Hundreds Of rooters and visitors
awoke in an eager mood, only to find
rain rumbling on the shingles. The grid
iron resembled The Great Dismal
Swamp.
But, although the day was cold and
dark and dreary, Graduate Manager
Tiffany, of Oregon, told his soul TO be
still and cease repining for behind the
cloud-was a silver lining. This silver
lining consisted of the fact that near.
ly all grandstand and bleacher seats
were sold out in advance, and they had
to carry away the money in hack, it
being too heavy to tote.
Washington took its final trial spin
last night, working out on Kincaid field
so as to get used to its peculiarities.
A wind had dried the surface fairly
well. Several wagonloads Of sawdust
were dumped on the sidelines today. 1t
was to be smeared over the turf at the
iusb hiihhtc - hSNtboaiys
Formal protests against John Persons,
speedy Oregon back, failed to material
ize at series Of comfabs between the
rival managers. He win play. Shy
Huntington is depended on to win the
game by his place kicking, should Wash.
ington's line prove impregnable. The
slow field is conceded to give Washing
ton the advantage, as Oregon Is fast men
can't get speedy footing.
Coach Gil Dobie of Washington, and
Bezdek of Oregon, engaged in a gloom
contest this mornuing, both predicting
defeat for their own forces, but an in
nocent bystander noticed both gentle
ment kept their fingers crossed. Dobie
has not met defeat for l3 years. Wash.
ington has not lost coast game for
eight years. And the Oregon team is tho
strongest football machine Eugene has
seen for many moons. On paper dope
it should beat Washington at least 10
to 7.

First Story of Wreck.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
London, Nov. 4.-One hundred per-
sons are believed to have perished in the
sinking of the small British steamers
Connemara and Retriever after col.
lision in the Irish sea last night.
Only one survivor is reported thus far.
A man named Boyle, member of the
Retriever crew, miraeulously escaped
death. He brought back the story of
the greatest sea disasted since the sink
ing of the Lusitania and prevented the
disappearance of the two ships with
their passengers and crews from be-
coming an untold sea mystery.
Only fragmentary reports Of the dis
aster had reached London this after
noon. From these accounts It appears
that the .Connemara of the London and
Northeastern railway line left Greenore,
Ireland, about dusk yesterday evening
for Hollyhead, England, and collidcd
with the inward bound steamer Retriev-
er few miles off the Irish coast.
The Connemara was carrying 81 pas.
sengers. So far as known here not one
of them was an American.
Leaving Greenore, the ferry steamer
ran into the tip of violent hurricane.
Plunging along through the darkness
and storm, with even greater difficulty,
the smaller Retriever, inbound for her
home port Of Newry, in Carlingsford
Tough, crashed into the COnnemara.
Whether the Retriever carried passen-
gers is not known. Apparently few of
the Connemara 3 passengers had retired
when the collision occurred.

FL Paso, Texas, Nov. 4.-Colonel Ro'

break at Juarez today. Before facing

his family. One of the bandits was a
boy of only II years old
Shortly after dawn, the three men,
tied together with ropes, were silently
marched up the long hill to the famous
execution place in desolate cemetery
on top of hill back of town. Only a
small group of men, some women and
awed children from neiehboring houses
witnessed the executions.
The motely group slouched out in
front of the adobe houses where more
than 300 executions have taken place
since the Mexican revolutions began.
The captain of the guard handed Garcia
his death warrant to sign. He read it
aloud and sat down in the sand to sign
it on his knee. The two other men sat
down ana the boy began to sob quietly.
After signing the death warrant, Garcia
wrote long letter. Some of the firing
squad bstame tired, sat down and drew
tLeir scarlet serapes about their should
ers.
When Garcia had finished his letters
he rose and walked over in front of the
mud wall. The two others followed.
The firing squad rose and ranged them
selves at equal distances opposing the
bandits. Garcia then threw his hat
aside and began speech in which he
declared he was not a Villista.
Suddenly he ceased speaking and sat
down with his back against the adobe
wall. The other two also sat down
The firing squad seemed surprised. Then
Garcia pulled his shirt aside.

The Connemara carried 81 passengers

the Retriever, but revised figures put

DEMOCRATS CLAIM
OREGON FOR WILSON
Senator Chamberlain Predicts
Wilson Victory---Is a Red
hot Finish

Portland, Ore, Nov. 4.---With both re-
publicans and democrats claiming Ore
gon. the most exciting presidential cam
paign this state has seen for years drew
to close today.
Senator Chamberlain, returning after
two weeks stumping in behalf of vii
son, will address a democratic mas:
meeting here tonight
"Southern Oregon is strong for the
president and the northern part of the
state is swinging into line," asserted
Chamberlain. "Oregon 8 electoral votes
will be cast for Wilson"
Governor Withycombe and Represen
tative Macarthur will do the talking al
the Hughes rally here tonight.
State Senator Dan Kelleher, who help.
ed orgaaize the progressive party in this
state, is on hand for the final fire
works.
"Wilson S side is making the noise, -
he said today, "but Hughes side will
do the voting Hughes will carry Ore
gon. This prediction is based on a care
full scrutiny of conditions in all coun-
ties.'
Mrs. f. B. Hanley of Medford. who
campaigned the state for Hughes in
whirlwind style, concluded her fight
with a speech at Eugene last night and
today went home to her ranch. She
gained the title of the "Billy Sunday"
of politics on account of her oratorical
slang on the platform.
Mrs. Hanley's tour left wake of
bitter comment from both sides. In her
speeches she never failed remark on the
near,riots which marked the appearance
of women from the Hughes campaign
special in Portland.
Republicans and democrats alike rush.
ed to seize Portland school houses for
the final pyrotechnics tonight. All the
larger buildings will be occupied by
speakers for Hughes or Wilson, while
the big rival mass meetings are in full
swing downtown.

both socialists and prohibitionists are
looking for the largest vote in the his

nearly 100000 votes.
Nine congressman and one United

from New York. The prohibitionists are
hopeful of five congressman and one

tried to launch the boats. Seaport towns
near the scene of the disaster report
ed the sea tossing SO violently last night
that it was doubtful If single boat
was gotten over by either steamer. It
appears certain that any boat put over
either was crushed against the steamer IS
side or capsized and was sucked down in
the boiling waters.
The first bodies were washed up
along the County Down coast, just north
of Carlingford Tough. At the offices of
the London and Northwestern railway
it is feared that, excepting Boyle, every
man aboard both vessels perished.
Hurricane Was Raging.
London, Nov. 1.-The British steam
ers Connemara and Retriever collided
off Carlingford Tough, so miles north of
Dublin in the Irish sea. 1t is feared
that 100 persons perished
A Lloyds dispatch from Belfast re-
ported that some bodies have washed
ashore on the County Down coast.
The collision occurred shortly after
the Connemara left Greenore and was
near the Irish coast. An official an
nouncement on the sinking said only
one survivor has thus far been report
ed.
The Connemara carried 81 passengers,
all of whom persisted. A man named
Boyle, member of the Retriever IS crew
is the only known survivor.
A hurricane was blowing and made it
impossible to launch the boats, Doyle
reported.
The Connemara was bound from
Greenore, a small town OF the headland
of Carlingford Tough with passengers
for Holly Head, England, where they
expected to make rail connections.
The two vessels collided last night in
the dark ness The first reports indi-
Gated that the vessels went down in a
very few minutes before the boats
could be gotten over.
The Connemara was a small steamer
of S33 tons built in 1897 for the oI.n-
don & Northwestern railway for ferry
service in the Irish sea. She was 273
feet long and had 35 foot beam. Her
port of registry was Dublin.
There are three British steamers
named Retriever, all smaller than the
Connemara. The vessel in collision was
probably the 459 ton steamer Retriever
registered at Newry.
Greenore lies 30 miles north of Dub
lin and is near the entrance to CARING
ford Tough. The railway town of Ncwry
lies at the northern end of the Tough.
