1--WE are spending too much money "a
great deal too much money. We have
been doing so now for some years. The
figures were raised out of all reason by
the Fifty first Congress, and they have
been kept high ever since. What the
coming Congress viii do there are, of
c urse, no means of telling. Presuma

calling for large sum for rivers and
harbors alone.

"And am not surprised to see it. That,
for long time, has been favorite
channel for spending the public money.
One year recently, you will remember,
the money reached the enormous figure
of 500, 900, 900. But sooner or later the
thing must stop. 1t is not justified at
all. There is really no justification for
using $500, 100000 per annum for the
support of this government. Three hun

ought to be made to answer any legiti-
mate purpose, and could be made to do
so if Congress would take hold of the

PreSides Over the Presbyterian
Missionary Meeting.
AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS MADE
Ex~-Secretary Foster Talks on the
Chinese Mission Field-NO Back
ward Steps Must be Allowed.

New York, Nov. 15.-Carnegie Music
Hall was flied tonight with a crowd OF
Presbyterlans Interested IN foreign mis-
slons. The announcement that ex-Presi-
dent Harrison was to preside proved a
great extraction. When the ex-president
arrived he was heanitily ~applauded.
The Rev. John r. Davis, chairman, in
troduced Mr.. Harrison as "a great and
good man."
General Harrison began his speech by
saying THAT the Presbyterian church bad
been greatly celebrated for its power at
resistance. 1t mad stood fast for love
and liberty; 1t had stood fast for educa-
lion; 1t had been in the United States
a pioneer Of education; 1t had stood for
the highest scholarship and it had stood
against THAT pseudo aitdtuiinous philos-
ophy, that from the study OF Gods work
finds there Is no God and from the study
OF His word that he has given us no
word.
The next speaker was THE Hon ]. w,
Foster, ex-secretary of state. General
Fosters address was O ummar OF his
observations on the work of the Protest
ant missions in Asia. General Foster dis
cussed the great Chinese empire and the
Iworlua nd prospects of missions there. The
recent riots, he asserted, grew out OF q
hatred OF foreigners and not from relig.

HE TOOK POISON
And Died in the Portland
Hotel BarrOOm.
ONLY A WASTED LIFE TO
Show for Fortune and Exceptional
Opportunities That Were Once
Young Hal Greene's Heirloom.


Special to the Historian.
Portland, Nov. 15.-Hal Green, one Of
the best known young men in this city
committed suicide in the baTroom of tht
Portland Hotel this afternoon by taking
cyanide of potassium.
He had e drinking, and when he took
the fatal Hose was under the influence OF
liquor. He secured the cyanide of po-
tassium ait Naus' drugstore, in the Port
land Hotel, with a prescription written
by DIR. Victor Smith. He told Smith That
tie wanted to kill "a dog THAT had bitter
him.
Green was a nephew of John Green, the
well known millionaire, and a son of Mn;
H. D.. Green, who has been very prom
nent in Portland society. Although only
% years old he had ~squandered the for
tune left him by his father.
Green undoubtedly contemplated suicide
for some days. This morning he a v his
cuff buttons Ito c. ]. Reed, his brother
tn-aaw, IND told him to give them to hs
sister. Latter in THE day he told his hack
driver, whom HE had employed, that he
would have a corpse to haul home If he
waited a short time.
The cause of the suicide Is probably
due to a woman whom he me- in Paris
about three years ago to whom he be-
came engaged. Some time afterwards she
married a mar in Boston. but a few days
ago Green claimed 10 have eceived a
letter from her stating THAT she was
unhappy in her mawted life. He appar-
emily brooded over the unhappy lot Of
his former flancee and Is said to have re-
marked: II will get THAT woman yet or
kill myself"
rr,
When his father died he left a valuable
estate and his W sons each inherited
about $4,000. They both led a rapid life
and soon spent their inheritance. Hal
Green, however, was never in want, as
Ihis uncle, john Green, supplied him with
money.

But UppertOwn is Happy Not
withstanding.
BIG SEWER ALMOST FINISHED
Important Improvement for the
People of Upper Astoria will be
Completed in a Short Time.

But few Asborians realize the extraor-
dinarily large amount of work thai has
been done here this season. Street after
5b,eet has been improved; the water
works built, with its great pipe line, and
distribution system now being finished;
outlying property hos been cleared; new
dwellings and stones erected; work on
the RAILROAD commenced and well under
way, and among all OF these public n
prlvate improvements one OF the most I'M
portant and least known is the big sewer
In Uppertown, now being finished by Con-
tractor Fa5tabend.
The main sewer run from the swamp
south of Harrison street north on S3rd
street to the river, a distance of about
1000 feet. with a long tunnel near Harrison
N q shorter n near Franklin avenue.
A branch runs east from the main sewer
up the alley from 33rd to 35th street, past
Kopps brewery, through a tunnel, also
tapping a swamp In "a gulch; another
branch runs ~diagonaily from The alley
near Kopp's across three blocks about
500 feet, tapping another guldh south and
a. of 35li street a short branch runs
southwest from the middle of The block
on Harrison street between SAN and S5th
streets and two other branches, one 10 the
southwest and one Ito the northeast, from
a point in the alley of the came block,
where they tap the main diagonal sewer.
The bitches were dug 5M feet wide ana
from 8 to 30 feet deep, accordingto the
contour of tine ground. The entire ditch
ing and tunnel work had to be strongly
braced because of the softness of the
ground, n the work was consequently
very hard and very difficult, both on the
men and teams. The sewer BOX Is built
square on the bottom and sides, and Is
really two boxes of heavy planklng dove
tailed into each other. The top OF the box
Is octagon shaped with the upper layer OF
planlSs spaced so that surface waiter can
find an entrance to the server. Between
planl1s so spaced is placed brush and
stones which act as a tort Of filter, pre-
venting the washing away of the surface,
yet allowing the free drainage Of water.
Yesterday Contractor Fastabend and
his chief engineer very kindly dropped
their work, loaned an Historian repre-
sentative a pair of rubber boots and took
him over the ground, explaining all OF
The "details of the work. Engineer Elmer
even went to the trouble of sketching a
map of the work to better explain the
position OF THE bitches. Mr.. Falstabend
said THAT the worst part OF their work
was on the big hill back Of Ropp's brew
cry. but congratulated himself now that
the job is almost completed.
Since 1.-THE recent heavy rains the swamps
and gulches which h~ertofore have always
been filled with water are now clear n
free from It. Uppertown people are hap
by IL they still are in the mud from the
handling OF so much loose earth.

BATTLE IN TEXAS
U. s. Troops Fire Upon an I'm
armed Crowd.
Officers Impatient Because a Gath
ering Of Curious People Would
Not Dispense Quick Enough.

San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 15.-A special
from Bogtoha, dated November 1911, says
Heavy firing early this morning In the
barracks drew an immense crowd, which
was ordered to dispense. The crowd was
so great THAT III WAS impossible TO move
quickly, and the impatient officers order
ed the troops to charge with bayonets,
which they did, but meeting with resist
ence, five shots being fired from the
crowd, the troops began firing upon the
people. A battle ensued and the crowd
being GYnarmed, were compelled to fly
leaving 20 dead and wounded on the field
The cause of the fight In the barracks
was a number OF guards who had at
tempted TO desert and resisted arrest.

will cut the figure that has been pre-
dicted for them. I believe the Republicans
and Democrats win agree upon a plan OF
organization THAT will not depend upon
Populist assistance. 1 do not believe the
PopuliSts will care to enter into negotia-
tionis for "a division of the senate spodls. -
