herself in the American flag and defied
her enemies in the convention of the
Woman's International Union Label

league by a vote of 81 to 29.
She was charged with treason to the
league in writing to President Gompers

concerning the formation of a new
union label league.
This proved to be the most riotouf
day so far since the convention began

EMERGENCY HOSPITAL AT FAIR,
Thoroughly Equipped Sick and Sur
gerry Wards to be Established
~ Ea{~

An emergency hospital will be
established on the Lewis and Clark
grounds. The Exposition officials
are taking this precaution to pro-
side against any emergency that
may arise, though it is not regard
ed as likely that there will be any
great need for such a hospital.
At expositions held in the East
there have been a number of pros
trations from heat. Oregon's mild
climate give promise of a very low
percentage of heat prostrations.
In fact, the physicians scarcely ex-
pect any, but they will be ready
in case their services are needed.
There is also much less liability of
accidents at this exposition, ow-
ing to the substantial character of
the buildings and the fact that no
intramura1 railway is required.
~ An ambulance wagon of the lat
est pattern will be provided manned
by a hospital corps. g

THEY TALK WATER
An Opinion as to Changing Method of
Naming the Commission.

Discussion of the water question
goes merrily on. 1t was the main
theme discussed at the Citizens
League meeting Tuesday night,
and is popular topic for street
corner talk. It is the general idea
that the plan of naming the COM
mission should be changed, and
the most, if not all the members of
the water committee entertain this
view. 1t is. talked that such
change cannot be made, but such
is not the case. The only question
is as to what steps may be necessary
IN order to give assurance that the
change is possible, and that it will
be made. Respecting the legal
phase of the question, the Times
has the following written opinion
from Deputy District Attorney
.Bryson:
1T is entirely in the power of
the legislature to make change in
the bill so as to make the commits
sion elective, either after or before
bond issue may have been made,
and such change would not affect
the validity of the bonds. in any
way, and such amendment would
be effective to b ing about the de-
sired change in the method of elect
ing the commission. Such an
amendment would no more effect
bond issue than would a change
in the internal organization Of an
ordinary private corporation,
which had an outstanding indebted
ness, bonded or otherwise; and the
right of the legislature to SO amend
this act is no more questionable,
than would be the right of pri-
vate-corporation, having an> out
standing bond issue. to change the
terms of Office or method of select
| ing its directors or manager.
E. R. BRYSoN.
Mr.. Brysons's opinion was given
after an examination of the subject.
An opinion of the same purport
was given by E. E. Wilson at the
League meeting Tuesday evening.

LATE FIRE RECALLED.
Il Bears on Water Question How a
Telephone Pole was Saved.
From Corvallis Times Sept. 10 1904.

From Corvallis Times Sept 10 1904.
IAN eloquent appeal for a water
works that will furnish an adequate
fire protection for Corvallis, was
fire that destroyed the home and
belongings of Mrs. Ed Cline We'd
nesday night. In the house was a
quantity of chittim bark represent
ing the summers work of Mrs.
Cline and her daughter in the chit
tim woods in the vicinity of Sum-
NIT, and from, where the family
had returned last Sunday. There
was also the entire complement of
household belongings which with
the home, constituted the wealth
of the Clines. At the time Of the
fire the family were-camped at the
Lilly hop yard where efforts to
increase the winters store by hop
picking were in progress. A few
hours of blaze Wednesday night
swept away everything, including
chittim bark, clothing and house
hold effects. not an article having
been removed from the burning
building. An insurance of 5000
was on the house, but it will fall
far short of covering'the actual loss.
"Lack of water at the fire made
the efforts to save the building far
cical. It is true that the flames
had made great headway, before the
alarm was turned in, and it is pos
sible that with an adequate water
pressure, the building might not
have been saved. But it is never
! theless true that the fremen on ac-
count of the lack of water, were
helpless to render assistance and
| that the incident disclosed how ut
terly unprotected from fire is the
residence portion Of the town.
Many of the best citizens in town
aver that the extreme heighth to
which water could be thrown was
12 feet. Some others admit that
the distance may have been few
feet higher, but all agree that "A
or IS feet was the outside limit. AT
ter it was established that the
building and its contents were
doomed. the fremen set about to
extinguish the flames on burning
telephone pole. Forty good citi-
zens declare that the stream failed
to reach half way to the top of the
22 to 24 foot pole. Small boys saw
the ludicrous side of the incident
| and shouted to the fremen to spit
on the fire. Unable to reach the
i flames on the upper portion of the
| pole, fireman climbed half way
up it, and from that vantage point
was finally able to throw the stream
to the top and extinguish the blaze
! During the operation the jeers ol
bystanders directed at the water
conditions were as amusing as they
were pathetic. x x
/ In behalf of the water company
| is to be remembered that the city
has decliued all offers to make E
new contract for water on a basi:
of the Willamette river as sonrct
of supply. The company holds
:: that without a contract, the ex'
penditure of funds in extension:
| of their mains for fire protection i!
unjustifable. From the company.
standpoint, they say that it would
be unwise to put more money into
the enterprise with the knowledge
that any time a new company
might be allowed to enter the field.

The President as an Inter-
mediarV.
(By the Associated Press.)

Oyster Bay \. Y. July 3.-Offcial
announcement has been made by
President Roosevelt of the names of
the Russian and Japanese envoys to
the Washington Peace Conference. The
character and ability of the men Sc
lected by both belligerents is an earn
est of the desire of their respective
government to conclude, if possible,
the tragedy enacted in the Far East.
The plenipotentiarieS are
Russian, Ambassador Muravieff,
formerly Minister of Justice and now
ambassador to Italy, and Baron Rosen,
recently appointed as ambassador to
the United States to succeed Count
Cassini.
Japanese. Baron Komura, Minister
Foreign Affairs, and Kogoro Takahira
minister to the United States.
A day or two ago the Russian and
Japanese governments formally COM
municated to President Roosevelt the
names of the plenipotentiaries they re-
spectively had selected. Acting as an
intermediary, the President communi-
Gated the names of the japanese en-
VOWS to the st Petersburg government.
and those of the Russian representa-
tveS to the government at Toxic. HaV-
ing received from both governments
assurances that the selections were
satisfactory, the President, according
to his agreement with the belligerents,
authorized the public announcement of
the enVOyS.

Charles Vance on Superstition.

Now as to superstition, my impress
sion is, it is a part of every man S
makeup, and every WOman's, but the
common idea is it prevails more in the
south than elsewhere, and possibly
Vance, at the Colonial last night.
This reminds me of a little Incl
dent that happened during the last
visit my father paid to his mountain
home in North Carolina before his
death. | accompanied him, and after
being there several days he suffered u
most severe attack of rheumatism.
Being some distance from Asheville
and some miles from the telegraph. /

sician. Finally, after nearly two days
the doctor came, and after getting re-
lief my father insisted on returning at
once to Washington, though it was
doubtful if he could stand the long
ride of seven miles over a rough COIN
try road to the railroad. We got ready
though, and started in vehicle with
two seats, myself sitting on the front
seat and driving as carefully as
could, and the governor occupying the
middle of the rear seat, with both
hands holding to the back, to make
it as easy as possible. ] knew he was
in great pain and was very careful.
about two miles from the station
we passed a corn field in which there
stood scarecrow. | lifted my hat and
bowed very low. My father noticed
the action and asked me what l
meant. l replied: Il am bowing to the
scarecrow.
Its the worst kind of luck not to
do So He said that was a new one
to him. About a mile farther on we
came to another field and an
other scarecrow. heard a
movement behind me and glanced
back, when | saw the governor remove
one hand from the back of the seat he
was holding, doff his big, slouch. hat,
and bow, remarking almost under his
breath: Good day, Mr.. Scarecrow.'

NO DECISION MADE
Wilmington and Willard
Are Still in the
Balances.

Commissioner of Agriculture S. l..
Patterson and Horticulturist II. Harold
Hume, members of the committee
from the State Board of Agriculture
to select the site for the Eastern Car
olna test farm, returned to the city
from Wilmington yesterday, where
they met with State Chemist b. w.
Bern, to consider Wilmington's claims
to the test farm location. That city
was ably represented before the COM
mittee at it's meeting Saturday and
it was impossible for the members to
decide which was the better location,
Willard or Wilmington.
Commissioner Patterson said yes
terday that the committee, in selecting
Willard formerly, had acted with its
best intelligence, and then considered
Willard as the more advisable location.
Since the selection was made there
have been new inducements made by
Wilmington and the Commissioner
decided TO reopen the matter. The
greatest objection to Wilmington is
the quality of the soil, which. although
excellent, where the best farm is de-
sired to be located. is not at all rep
resentative soil of the eastern trucking
section. One of the most perpleXing
questions the committee has to con-
slider is what disposition it could make
of the Willard site, which has already
been purchased, should the farm now
be located at Wilmington.
1t is expected that the committee
will reach n final determination this
week, when it meets in Raleigh. The
finance committee of the board, and
of A. and NJ. College will meet in Rail
eigh this week and all the members
of the test farm committee, with the
exception of Mr.. McCallum, will be
present.
Mr.. Kilgore left Wilmington for Vir-
ginia Beach.

St Petersburg. July 3.-2.2 5a. NJ
According TO a dispatch received by an
official agency the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Smetilvy with volunteer crew
has sailed for Odessa with the inten-
tion of sinking the KniaZ Potemkine.
With Kustenji and other unprotect-
ed ports of Roumania, Bulgaria and

guns, and with the inability Of Vice
Admiral Kruger's squadron to inter-
fere with her career, tactitly admit
ted by retiring them from commission.
this desperate eXpedient was seized
upon to prevent international compli-

mutineerS
This problem for a single destroyer.
which is difficult and dangerous
enough at best, as she will have to en-
counter both the Kniaz Potemkine and
her attendant torpedo boat, is now
complicated by the departure of the
battleship from Kustenji, and ignor-
ance as to where she will next turn
up, but the dispatch from Kustenji
throws a gleam of hope on the dark
situation by intimating that consider
able number of her crew are anxious
TO desert their leaders, and to escape
the consequence of their mutinouS ac-
tions.
The Admiralty, however, it should
be stated, does not admit that the
Smetilvy has gone on such an errand.
though the officials say frankly that
the KniaZ PotemkiEe must in law be
regarded as n pirate.
