Mrs. Chas. Schoeler Stops Runaway
and Saves Her Life.

An exhibition or expert horsewoman-
ship was given this afternoon by Mrs.
Charles Schoeler, who held her seat in
two-wheeled cart for six blocks be-
hind runaway "bunch grasser," and
at the end of that distance gained con-
troll of the animal and stopped him,
waiting calmly, and with smile on
her face, for her husband, who was
rushing breathlessly up the middle of
the street in pursuit
Mr.. and Mrs. Schoeler drove into
town in the cart, and, Mr.. Schoeler
having business in Livesley & Com
pany's office, left his wife at the foot
of the stairs until he returned. The
horse was facing north, and for some
unaccountable reason, known only to
himself, started TO run, wheeling di-
rectly around and going south on Com
mereial street. The bystanders declare
that the beast was making something
better than two minutes fiat by the
time he got started, and everyone ex'
peeted to- witness an appalling acei-
dent, but the pluck of the little wo-
man, and her skill as a horsewoman,
averted the accident, and probably
saved her life.

The re-appointment of this commits

ite law.
In closing he claimed that it was
simply good proposition to get the
constitution amended or reformed at
one stroke by convention, rather
than the slow process of individual
amendments.
Senator Pierce followed with a plea
for the old constitution, and showed
that, under the initiative and referen.
DUN, amendments could be made ga
lore
Senator Pierce stated that there was
really no occasion for convention,
and stated that w. S. U'Ren assured
him that he had prepared all the re.
quired amendments, and that they
woulu be brought up at the next cleo
tion. In closing, he also read a petition
from Oregon City, signed by 20 citi.
zens objecting to convention, which
had been handed to him by Mr.. U 'Ren,
at his elbow.
Senator Malarkey followed in an elo-
quent speech. He showed that in the
meetings of the Judiciary committee
Senator Pierce made no objections to
the provisions of the bill He de.
nounced the attacks made by certain
religious organizations of Portland up
on the motives of the friends of con-
stitutional convention, and apologized
for these foolish actions. He showed
that it would not be practicable to
adopt more than one amendment at
time, and that it would take half a
century to get the necessary amend
ments. He also pointed out that the
amendments offered by the initiative
are, as usual, the result of very few
heads, and more often the work of
some one crank, and that nobody else
can have a voice in framing or shaping
such amendments.
Senator Pierce followed with anoth-
er plea for the initiative and referen.
dunn, and stated that the rulings of the
supreme court of Oregon for the past
30 years upon the meaning of the vari-
Gus sections of the constitution would
all be lost
Senator Rand followed with a strong
talk for the bill, and pointed out that
convention would, without doubt, re-
adopt the main features of the present
constitution. He called attention to
the fact that salary bill was before
them to give the governor $4500 year
when, under their oath as senator's,
none of them could honestly vote to
give that official more than $500, pro-
vided by the constitution. He showed
that for years the Oregon Legislature
had been kept busy avoiding the con
stitution.
Senator Miller then spoke against the
bill, because the new constitution
might be worse than the old one. The
provision to have 30 appointed by the
supreme court was unanimously struck
out. The bill received IS ayes and ID
nays, and was lost.
Adjourned to 2:3O o'clock p. m.
Those voting for constitutional
convention were Brownell, Coe, Coke,
Farrar, Hobson, Hodson, Holman, Kuy-
kendall, Loughary Malarkey, Rand,
Sichel, Whealdon, 13. Mays, Booth
and Mcdonald absent.

THE REAL YELLOW PERIL"
Napoleon Had the Cossacks in Mind
When He Warned Europe
Against Russia.

Last winter, when, among those OF
the Russians VINO were not hoping
lur war and the defeat OF their own
sounsry, ! inquired the grounds tor
ineir coneemptuous underestimate OF
Inc Japanese. 1 scarcely ever got for
reply more than the citation or Rus
sias l3U.0V0,00v OF population, her pos-
session OF one-seyenin OF the ary land
OF the earth and the Cossacks. The
discussion usually closed with the as
seruon; "One CossacK can whip ten OF
those little yellow monKeys.n
This faith, writes David b. MacGow-
an. ia The Cossacks,' in Century, is
based partly on the impression which
the Cossacks made upon western Eu-
rope as long ago as the Seven Years
war, and which was heightened by
their REORGANIZATION Of NApoleon's re
treat from Moscow Napoleon himself
pronounced them perfect masters of
partisan warfare, furious In attack
and impossible to reach. and said that
he did not remember having made a
prisoner OF a single one OF them. FL
nally. he had the Cossacks In mind
when he warned Europe that, unless
checked by such a powerful unit as he
had sought to construct, Russia would
enslaye the world. That Napoleon's
prediction has not been forgotten may
be inferred from the recent assertion
in various quarters that the real "yel-
low peril" is the possibility OF the or
ganization OF the Monaghan races by
Russia, and that Slavic Jenghiz
Khan may direct new Golden Horde
against the west.
