Earnest PRAYER.

belief that their Affections will be
cured by the relics of the Mother Of
the Blessed Virgin" hundreds Of lame
and blind men. women and children at
tended the annual novena today and
worshiped at the shrine OF ST. Anne
In the Church of st. Jean Baptiste in
East Seyenty-sixth street. Trembling
yet confident that their prayers would
be answered, each suppliant knelt at
the altar. kissed the relic and prayed
devoutly, while the afflicted portion of
the body was rubbed by the relic held
in the hands of the officiating priest
Girls suffering from sore throats barred
their necks when the relic was ap-
piled and declared their tonsils were
cured when they finished the mass and
left for home.
One of the most remarkable cures
announced for the first day was that Of
six-year-old Marie Nelson, whose eyes
were so badly crossed that when she
entered the church she had to be led
by her mother to keep from stumbling
prayer before the shrine she left the
be virtually restored.
Quite as remarkable was the case of
seven-year- old Katie Johnson of Or
ange, N. j., who had suffered from
spasms every day since she was years
old until today, when, after visit to
the shrine, she spent the entire day
playing with other children without

ALIEN HORDE MAY
!. De DISTRIBUTED.
Proposal to Land Immi-
grants at Some Place
Other Than New York
AGENT TO INQUIRE

NEW YORK, July Is. = Robert
Watchorn, Commissioner of Immigra-
tion at this port, sailed for Europe this
afternoon on the White Star liner
Oceanic With the sailing of the Com
missioner the rumors that this Govern
ment is contemplating some extreme
measures in regulating the abnormal
immigration at this port were literally
revived.
Watchorn would not admit that the
object Of his trip TO Europe was in
any sense an official one, but those who
know of the repeated conferences be-
tween the Commissioner and the of
hcials of the Department of Commerce
and Labor declare that Watchorn is
going to see how the enormous hordes
of aliens shipped from the other side
may be distributed at some other
American port besides New York
The alien is entitled to go where
he pleases after he has been admitted
to this country" said Watchorn, land
the only thing that we do is to see if
we cannot get the steamship COM
panies to open up routes to other parts
of the country and thus land some of
our friends from the other side some
place other than New York"
Watchorn would not admit that he
would place this suggestion before
the companies on this trip. All he
would do. he said, would be to look
around and perhaps bring home ideas
that he might gather abroad. These,
he said, he would embody in an in
formal report

The "Quality"
of Pabst Beer
The Best Materials and the Ceanest
Process Make It Most Popular.

Pabsts process Of brewing is ex-
elusive all the way through, and that
IS the reason why" Pabst beer is to-
day the most popular brand of beer in
the world.
People know when they drink Pabst
Blue Ribbon Beer that II is the clean
est beer in the world-because IL never
IS touched by human hands in its en-
tire process of manufacture.
People know when they drink Pahst
Blue Ribbon Beer that Il Is the richest
beer in the world. because ii is made
from the exclusive Pabst eight-day
malt. which is the only malt in the
world that retains all of the richness
of the barley.
People know when they drink Pabst
Blue Ribbon Beer that they are drink
ing a beer that is fully aged, because
IL is aged by the exclusive Pabst pro-
cess and is never mixed with young"
beer to give IL head or body.
People know that for the past sixty
years Pabst has been foremost IN the
manufacture of a superior beer be-
cause he has spent millions to brew a
beer that is perfect in Age, Purity and
strength and Pabst's Blue Ribbon
stands today without an equal as a
clean, pure, wholesome refreshing bev-

REPUBLICS SELECT
PEACE AGENTS.
Guatemala and Salvador
Name Commissioners
to Arrange a Treaty

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The armfs-
tice between the warning Central
American republics went ipto effect at
o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Munoz, the Guatemalan Minister,
called at the State Department today
and announced that he had been ad-
vised by his Government of the selec-
ton of three commissioners and a Sec
retary to represent Guatemala at the
peace conference. They will go to San
Jose Guatemala, in time to board the
Marblehead, which is expected to reach
there tomorrow.
Salvador and Guatemala must decide
through their representatives to the
peace conference on board the United
States cruiser Marblehead whether
Honduras Is to be represented in the
conference. There are only two sides
to the controversy, so far as the world
of diplomacy knows that of Guatemala
and that Of Salvador. Honduras In
terest In the war Is secondary in Its ma
ture, but as an ally Of Salvador she has
become involved to such degree that
the State Department believes the other
two countries in the controversy will
decide to have Honduras represented
on board the Marblehead.
SAN SALVADOR, July IL delayed in
ransmission).- The peace commission
ers of Salvador are DIR. J. r. Pacas and
Senior Gallegas.
Shortly before the armistice was
agreed to more than 10000 Guatemalan
soldiers made desperate attack on
the Salvadoran position by way of
Matapan. The Guatemalan artillery,
stationed on high places fronting the
Salvadoran positions, cannonaded the
latter increasingly, though the bad
quality of the shells and the poor aim
OF the artillerymen resulted in the Sal
vadorans escaping without many cas-
ualties.
At about p. M, in the midst of a
torrential rain, the Guatemalens' fire
increased all along the line, and the
Guatemalan infantry attacked the Sal
vadorans in close columns, endeavor-
ing to dislodge them. The battle lasted
ten hours and eventually resulted In a
triumph for the Salyadoran arms.

WIRE ECKED STEAMER
IS BREAKING Up.
Captain Martin Gives Up
Hope of Getting the
Chico Off the Rocks
LOSES WAY IN FOG

EUREKA. July IS. = The little
steamer Chico. formerly the Alice
Blanchard. which went ashore at Shell
ter Cove Monday, is now slowly pound
ing to pieces on the rocky point that
marks that dangerous STRIP of coast.
With her bottom smashed and leaking
badly, there is no chance to save the
little craft. and 1t is only question
OF time until she breaks into bits
The wreck was unattended by mis-
hap or loss of life. The members OF
the crew walked ashore easily, as II
was low water at the time, and they
are now waiting for a steamer to con-
vey them to San Francisco.
Captain Martin says she was pro-
ceeding along under slow bell in
veryt heavy fog when suddenly the
point at Shelter Cove loomed up.
Thinking another vessel was headed
for him, he changed his course to avoid
collision and moment later
grounded on the rocks. Later, when
the vessel began to pound. the crew
deserted her at low water and walked
ashore.

LAND FRAUD INDICTMENT
is SUSTAINED BY COURT
Demurrer Interposed In Behalf of
Booth Is Overruled After Lengthy
ArRumenf by COunael.


PORTLAND, July 1S.-James Henry
Booths hope of escaping trial by
pleading that the indictment against
him in the land fraud cases is defec-
tive faded into thin air today when
District Judge Hunt rendered de-
cision sustaining the position taken by
Special Assistant Attorney General
Heney on all points The demurrer
was interposed on the ground that the
indictment Is insufficient in that 1t
does not charge a crime. Judge Hunt
overruled this absolutely.
The demurrer was argued by coun-
sci for Booth, who formerly was re-
ceiver of the Roseburg land office, on
the theory that Booth did nothing con-
trary to law in furnishing Frederick
A. Kribs with advance information on
cancellation of entries to Government
land, thereby enabling Kribs to cover
1t with script, and because the tndict-
ment did not charge that there had
been a failure to enter the record of
cancellation before notifying Kribs.
Martin G. Hoge, City Attorney of
Medford and co-defendant with Henry
w. Miller, Charles Nickel and Frank
E. Kincart on a charge of conspiracy
to suborn perjury In connection with
the land frauds in this State, must
stand trial at once, according to the de-
cision of Judge Hunt, who refused TO
entertain Hoges plea of sickness en-
tered in an attempt on his part to Sc
cure. delay. The work of securing a
Jury to hear the evidence and pass
upon the guilt or Innocence of the ac-
cused was begun this afternoon.

Tire Trust to DiSband
Continued From Page /. Column 3.

IN the same percentage allotment as
the Diamond Rubber Company.
Then the Goodrich Company gave no
tice that after September 1 the corpor-
alton would sever its. connection with
the Tire Association and become a free
lance, In order to meet this move of
the Goodrich Company the other tire
manufacturing corporations decided
that they, too, would hoe their own
rows.
In speaking of the dissolution Of the
Tire Association, c. F. Mathewson,
Company, now located at 1889 Broad
way, Oakland. said:
Yes, 1t Is true that there Is a big
shake-up coming In the rubber tire
business It Is due September 1, and
after that time 1t will be every com
p9ny for itself. The Tire Association.
which regulated the output and prices
of rubber tires in the United States,
was formed three years ago. The OBJ
ject Of the organization was to regu-
late the prices OF manufactured goods
to the manufacturers of automobiles,
the jobbing trade and consumers The
amount OF tires that each company IN
the association was permitted to turn
out was made on a basis of the bust
ness done by the company.
GOODRICH BREAKS AWAY.
Whenever a company turned out
more goods in year than It's allotment
q certain part OF the profits went into a
pool. According to the allotment rat
ing, the Diamond Rubber Company was
permitted to do 40 per cent Of the tire
manufacturing, the Goodrich Rubber
Company 20 per cent and the remaining q
40 per cent was divided among twelve
other companies, including the makers
OF the Fisk tire, the j tire, the In
ternational tire, the Continental tire,
which is manufactured in Hanover,
Germany; the Hartford tire. the Dun
lop tire and several other minor makes.
TT appears from letters / have re-
ceived from my home office that the
Goodrich people demanded that they
be placed on the same manufacturing &
allotment basis that they have been
working under. When this was re-
fused the Goodrich people gave out
that they would not be party to the
trade agreement, but would go out for
themselves. The result is that there
will be no mutual understanding e
among the tire manufacturers after
September and each company will be
out for itself.
TT is my opinion that the agreement
which has existed among the compa-
nies was not only beneficial to them,
but also beneficial to the consumers of
automobile tires, as IL insured good
and nearly uniform quality of tire. The
breaking of the agreement may result
IN a cut in the price of automobile tires,
and with this may come a poorer quail
ity of goods"
Automobile tires cost from s22.20 up
to s105. A single tire for light run
about machine costs $3.50; for light
touring car $40; for a heavy touring
car, $50, $50 and $105.
1t is an assured fact that this break
in the tire trust will mean a reduction
of at least so per cent on all tires after
September l.

HILL AND HARTMAN WAR
OVER A STREET FRANCHISE
Union Pacific VIII Not Build Into
Seattle Unless Given Desired
Right of Way.

TACOMA, July 1s.-E. ii. Hartman
and James J. Hill are IN a deadlock
over the application OF Hartman for
a franchise into Seattle and across
the Seattle tidelands on Fourth ave-
nue.. Hill declared his railroads would
fight Harriman's entrance on Fourth
avenue because the Union Pacific
tracks on this street would divide
property owned by the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern He declared
that the grounds purchased for Harri-
mans passenger terminals were made
quate and suggested giving Hartman
franchise on an obscure street sew
eral blocks away.
President Hartman declared some
time ago that he would not extend
his line from Tacoma to Seattle unless
he obtained the desired franchise on
Fourth avenue, thereby securing privf-
leges comparable to those granted the
Hill roads. He told Mayor Moore and
City Engineer Thompson Of Seattle
that the Union Pacific would not build
there unless this franchise was OBJ
tained. The matter Is now in the
hands Of the Seattle council.

SECRETARY SHAW SPEAKS
FURTHER OF CANAL BONDS
Explains Manner In which Payment
May BE Made for the
Securities.

WASHINGTON. July 1S.-Secretary
Shaw today issued the following state
ment:
So many requests have been made
personally, by mail and by wire for
information concerning the time when
payment must be made for Panama
bonds purchased at the forthcoming
sale that the following statement
seems appropriate:
The circular advertisement contains
the statement that bidders will be in
structed as to the time on which pay
ment is desired TO be made. The bonds
must, of course. be paid for on demand
and bidders may, II they desire, pay
Immediately. If the bonds are not paid
for Immediately, bidders will be re-
quired to pay accrued interest.
Should any purchaser desire to use
any portion of the purchased bonds as
a basis for circulation, payment may
be deferred, at least on a portion there
of, until the notes can be printed In
must be placed at once and the prem
ium advanced on the bonds. The ac-
crued interest can be paid when the
such cases the order for the currency
bonds are placed with the Treasurer
as security for circulation. The ex-
tent to which this privilege can be
wisely granted will depend on the
amount of bonds that may be desired
as basis for circulation.
