PRESIDENCY
OF SENATE IS
STILL IN AIR
Upton Favored by Needed
Majority but Dares Not
Accept Support From
Senator M0ser.

Jay Upton, aspirant for the
presidency of the state senate In
opposition to Senator Eddy OF
Douglas county, today stands in
the peculiar position of having I6
of the 80 members of the senate
favorable to his candidacy, YET
he cannot claim election.
Paradoxical as it may seem this
situation is actually true. A ma.
jority of the senators are for Up
ton, including the Sage Brush
Seven. of eastern Oregon, and Ii
of them have signed pledges tC
support him and the sixteenth
Senator Moser of Multnomah
stands ready to hop in line. Blu
within the ranks of the Uptor
camp there are those who frowr
openly ON any allegiance betwver
their leader and the Multnomaf
county senator, and who have def
initely served notice on Upton
that when Moser comes in they
go out.
Upton Kept Juggling.
THE eastern Oregon senator,
therefore is holding Moser OFF with
one hand while with the other he
manipulares the pledges already
secured to keep them from bolt
ing.
On the face of this circumstance
it may be said that Eddy, while
holding only IA written pledges, is
in a better position to win than
Upton. Eddy's ranks are known
to be solid SO long as the contest
remains between he and Upon,
out within the Upton camp there
is strife between the Ku Kluxers
and antl-kIan senators, like Sena-
tor Ritner, that may cause a split
at any minute. 1t is freely stated
that not even the desire of the
Sage Brushers to see an eastern
oregon man in the senate chair
will keep them in line if Upton
compromises himself with Moser.
Marion for Eddy.
By a piece OF aIl-nlght cam
while their opponents
slept the Eddy forces were enabled
yesterday to claim the pledges OF
both Marion county senators, as
well as that of Senator Tooze OF
The lineup as 1t exists today,
presenting large possibilities for a
dark horse candidate, is as fol-
lows:
Disqualification, Strayer, Ell
lis, Ritner, Taylor, Dennis, Hall,
Clark, Magladry,
Fiske, Klepper, Smith and Ed

PUT TODEATH
EARLY TODAY
Irish Insurgent Leader
Convicted Of Carrying
Revolver Pays Penalty
Imposed by Court.

Dublin, Nov. "a (By Associ-
ated Press) - Erskine Childers,
chief lieutenant OF Eamonn De-
Valera, was executed here today.
He was executed at Z o'clock
this morning for having had an
automatic pistol in his possession,
it Is announced in an official bull
letin given out by the national
army.
Sentence by Court
The brief army report states
that Childers was tried by a mill
itary court at Portobello bar
racks, Dublin, November III,
charged with being in possession
without proper authority, OF an
automatic pistol when apprehend-
ed by national forces, November
10, at Aunamoe house, County
Wicklow. The accused, the report
adds, was found guilty and sem
fenced to death and the finding
and sentence being duly confirm
ed, the execution was carried out
this morning.
While the method OF execution
was not officially described. II is
believed 1t was by shooting.
Army Attacks Made
The fate of Childers has been
hanging in the balance for sew
eral days, while court actions
were fought over his military
trial. but with the adverse find
ing by the master Of the rolls
yesterday ON application for
stay of judgment, the feeling that
seemed to prevail in Dublin last
night was that Childers would be
executed.
This belief is thought likely to
have inspired heavy attacks made
on national army posts in Dublin
last night All the attacks were
abortive.
Aide Of De Valera
Erskine Childers, a lieutenant
in the Irish republican army and
one of the right hand men OF
Eamonn De Valera, was placed
on trial before a military tribun-
al in Dublin on November II on
the charge that he had a pistol

BRONX DEMOCRATS
NAME TRIUMVIRATE
Act on Suggestion of Murphy
Of Tammany to Avoid Fight
Over Leader.

Bronx Democratic affairs are to be
handled by triumvirate. Rather than
run the risk of bitter fight in an at
tempt to chose a leader among the vari-
Gus candidates to succeed Arthur Fl.
Murphy. who died recently. it has been
decided to try triple leadership.
At four hour session OF the execu-
tive committee OF the Bronx Democratic
committee, held in the East fremont
avenue headquarters yesterday after
noon. the following men were placed in
charge of the organization by vote of
the ten men leaders and the ten women
leaders. all Of whom were present
STEPHEN A. NUGENT, leader of
the Fourth district, political warhorse,
who served as, leader when The
Bronx was ruled by Tammany Hall,
former Commissioner of the Depart
ment of Public Welfare
THOMAS H. O'NEILL, leader Of
the Sixth district, also a political
veteran. who held the office of Sheriff
for term, and when the law would
not permit his reelection picked his
own successor and accepted the post
of under sheriff under him.
EDWARD J. FLYNN, Sheriff. who :,
Is said to be the youngest man hold
ing such an office in the State. He
is not a district leader but is close
to Eugene ]. MCGUIRE, one OF the most
powerful Democrats in The Bronx
who after some years of insurgency
in The Bronx has returned to the
fold.
Although the executive committee by
resolution picked the triumvirate to take
the place of Mr. Murphy as chairman Of
the committee. the title held by the
leader in The Bronx, 1t Is understood
that the arrangement Is to last only
until some one man shows the ability to
unite all the forces.
With n State election this autumn
Charles +. Murphy of Tammany Hall,
who has Inhibited a great interest in
Bronx af +. advised that it would be
wrong to II nto any sort OF a wrangle
over leadership at this time. 1t may
be possible to name single man after
the primaries in September
The triumvirate idea is said to have
been Mr. Murphy's, following Tammany
Hall precedents.

prove acceptable on all sides" said Mr..

the demand of union coal miners Tor
a 6-hour day, 5-day week, proposal
that was made before the 1919 strike
was adopted today by the convention
OF The United Mine Workers OF
America as part of the policy the
union will seek to have included i'll
new wage agreements, effective April
I. This demand had the united op-
position of the unions leaders, includ-
ing all district presidents.
The convention action for the short
er working day, however, was the
only radical changein the wage pc,
icy proposed by the unions scale conf
mittee, which centered the unions
policy proposals toward retaining the
present basic wages for soft coal min
ers and gaining increases for anthra-
cite workers under threat of a gen.
eral strike.
The strike and wage proposals by
the committee were adopted by over-
whelming votes. The strike declara-
ton, however, provides for its sub
mission to a referendum vote Of the
union membership before any walkout
is ordered by officials. 4.
