Southern Pacific
May Be Responsible

The greatest menace to business con-
ditions today is the r.Husua1 ear short
age, said a prominent business man to-
day. 1t seems there is considerable
trouble in getting cars spotted to the
wholesale houses in Portland. One mer-
chant said that he had no trouble in
getting an Oregon Electric car but that
when the Terminal company in, Portland
got it, instead of spotting to the whole
sale house ordered, that the Terminal
company held it up week or so. Also,
that after the car was loaded, it was
difficult to get an Oregon Electric car
shipped for several days. He was of the
opinion that the Terminal company at
Portland which is said to be under the
influence of the Southern Pacific was
doing what it could to delay shipments
of goods in Oregon Electric cars. There
is plenty of business in the country but
no ears.

Ohio Vets In Lead
But Drys Have Hopes

Columbus, o. Nov. with less than
500 precincts missing late this after
noon, unofficial returns from all parts
of Ohio point to victory for the vets
by about 5000 as result of the pro-
hibition election yesterday. Continual
gains by the drys, however, give them
fair chance to win.
Returns from the larger rural coun-
ties cut into the wet margin very rap
idly today and the drys declare they
have a good chance to overcome the
adverse vote in the cities.

NEW MEXICO DRY.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. 7.-Isolated
precincts, which probably will be slow
in reporting returns, will delay official
total returns in New Mexico's prohi
bition amendment election, but suffi
cient returns to assure substantial
majority in favor of the amendment
have been received here, indicating that
even mining districts, which drys had
conceded to the wet faction, voted over
whelningly in favor of statewide pro
hibition.
Dry leaders predicted that the 10000
majority claimed may be increased
whom official totals are complied.

This information is especially for
those who have relatives or friends in
Company M and who are preparing to
remember them with Christmas pres
ents. The postal authorities have def
initely decided this one thing; Wherever
the Company has been stationed mail or
packages sent to that station will be
forwarded to the boys. For instance,
mail that might have been sent to Camp
Withycombe, was at once forwarded to
Camp Mills, near New York City. And
mail that has been sent to Camp Mills
will be forwarded to France, provide,
the boys are on their way over. Christ
mas packages should be so marked. They
will then be held up and not delivered
until Christmas. But wherever the boys
are, mail and parcel packages will be
forwarded, even to France and there is
no additional postage. All that is nee
essary now is to send Christmas pack
ages before Nov. Is to the Camp Mills,
Long Island address.

.DEF|ES CLAUSE IN
WILL AGAINST SUIT;
SHARE IN BALANCE
CLIFTON POWERS RISKS RIGHT
TO BENEFIT UNDER MOTHERS
LAST TESTAMENT BY START.
ING LEGAL CONTEST.

In defiance of clause in his moth,
er's will that provides against court
contests and the reyersion to other
heirs of that share of contestant S
estate. Clifton H. Powers today flied
Q bill in the circuit tribunal asking
that the last will and testament of
Mrs. Fannie NJ Powers be set aside
on alleged grounds Of mental inca
pacity at the time The instrument was
drawn
Christ Episcopal church, which Is
made beneficiary to The trust estate
given Mr., Powers during his lifetime,
is named one of the defendants in the
suit. Other defendants are Mrs. Flor
ence Fng0mar and Frances !. Powers.
sisters, and the six children Of Mrs.
EneCmar.
In hcr will Mrs. Powers specified
very particularly that in case court
action was instituted TO have her last
testament set aside. the share of the
ccntesing heir should revert back in.
to the estate and be divided among the
bencilciaries under the will Mr.
Powers entering court in contradic.
tiCn of his mothers wishes will settle
an issue that has been more or less
questioned in court circles, when final
disposition is made of the will. If he
succeeds in multiplying the document
the estate will naturally pass thru
the process of administration, each
child receiving an equalthrd. Christ
church, which would have benefited to
the extent of about $4,000, necessar-
lily Will be ditestcd of its interests
N the estate. The money was to 20
TO the church providing Mr.. Powers
died without issue.
Another clause of Mrs. Powers will
provides against any adopted or step
child Of Mr. Powers sharing in d.
vision of the property Such cmpha-
sis was laid upon this point that the
tcstator repeated that clause in a CO.
dicil attached to the original will.
Mr.. Powers makes no allegation
against other kin Ct having used un
due influences on the mother TO mako
her draw the will in the manner she
did lie merely says she was of un.
sound mind and memory and in her
dotage and therefore was not compe-
tent to make . fair and equitable dis
trihntion Of her property.
The estate was approximately di
vided evenly. with the exception that
the property bequeathed to the sis
tcrs falls to their heirs, while Mr.
Powers. the contestant has only life
use IN the estate left him without the
privilege Of disposng of it in whatever
manner be desired The value Of the
property left by Mrs. Powers is estl-
mated at 100000.
