President Orders All His
Official Papers Printed
in the Reform Style
FAVORS PLAN OF
ANDRU KARNEGII
Sends Instrukshuns That the
Changes Made by Speshul
Komite Must Be Adopted

OYSTER BAY. Aug. 24.-President
Roosevelt has indorsed the Carnegie
spelling reform movement. He issued
orders today to Public Printer Stillings
that hereafter all messages from the
President and all other documents en-
anating from the White House must be
printed in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the spelling reform COM
mittee headed by Brander Matthews
professor of English at Columbia Uni
versity. This committee has published
list of 100 words in which the spell
ing is reformed. This list contains
such words as thru and tho" as the
spelling for through" and though"
The Presidents official sanction of
this reform movement is regarded as
the most effective and speediest method
of inaugurating the new system of
spelling throughout the country. Not
oLly will the printed documents en-
arating from the Presidents office util-
lie the reform spelling, but his corre-
spondence also will be spelled in the
new style

LOEB SENDS FOR LIST.

Secretary Loeb has sent for the list
Of SEQ words which have been reformed.
and upon its arrival will Immediately
order all correspondence of the Pres
ident and of the executive force of the
White House spelled in accordance
Herewith. AS the spelling reform com
mittee adopts new reforms these will
be added to the Presidents list, ana
also that OF the Public Printer.
While the order to the Public Printer
does not contemplate an immediate re-
fern in the spelling of official docu-
ments from the executive departments
in washington, it is regarded as more
than likely that the respective heads
oe the departments will fall in line
with the Presidents ideas and have
their of1cial documents printed in the
new spelling

Firm Of Jones 8 Blackwell Pur-
chase 1900 Head Of Cattle
GOOD DEMAND FOR CATTLE NOW
MEAT PACKERS INVESTIGATION
AFFECTS MARKET BUT
LITTLE.

LEWISTON, June 2S.-H. Blackwell,
member of the well known stock firm
of Jones & Blackwell, of Walla Walla,
was in the city yesterday looking af
ter business matters. Mr.. Blackwell
states that his firm has recently pur-
chased 1900 head of cattle in Garfield
and Columbia counties, Wash. These
were shipped to different markets from
Dayton and Starbuck. There are
plenty of cattle in the country, he
says, except good, fat steers, which
are rather scarce, but he has been
able so far to secure a large number
without much difficulty.
While the publicity given the meat
packers investigation is causing a
mand, he says, it better than it was
at this time last year. The dis
turbed conditions of the market as
the result of the published findings
of the investigating committee, will
settle down in four or five months and
business will be on a much f1rmer
basis than ever before. The con-
dition of the packing houses, Mr..
Blackwell continued. demanded a
rigid investigation and while it is to
some extent depreciating the price of
stock, much good will result in the
end and the stOckraisers throughout
the country, to a man, are in hearty
accord with the action taken by the
president in the matter.

NEED NOT WATT FOR PERMITS
Sheep May Be Taken on Blue
Mountain Reserve
pfNOLETON SHEEPMEN ARE NOTIFIED
GOVERNMENT GIVES OWNERS
CONSIDERABLE PRIVILEGE
IN THE NATTER.
PENDLETON SHEEPMEN ARE NOTIFIED

PENDLETON, Or, June 2S.-All
sheepmen who have been allotted range
on the Blue Mountain forest reserve
NAV take their sheep on to the reserve
at once, without waiting for their per-
mits from Washington, if they so de-
sire. A message to the above effect
was received from Superintendent D.
y. Shelter yesterday morning by Dan
Smythe secretary of the Umatilla
Wool Growers association.
When Mr.. Shelter was in Pendleton
a few days ago Mr.. Smythe took the
matter up with him, stating that since
it was getting late in the season, t
would be hard on the sheep if they
were compelled to wait until the per-
mits arrived from Washington. Mr..
Shelter agreed to take the matter up
with the Washington officials at once,
and yesterdays message shows the re-
suit
All that is now necessary is for the
owners of sheep to forward their range
fee to Washington and get some re-
Ceipt or statement of the bank through
which they send the money, showing
that the fee has been paid. Armed with
this they can take their sheep on to the
reserve range as soon as they get ready
and not wait for the permits
which will not arrive for ten days or
a couple of weeks yet.
Mr. Smythe recommends that the
sheepmen, when they send thir money
to Washington get certified copies OF
drafts or some statement from the
bank that will show that the fee has
been paid.

FALLS ON EDITOR,
How His Prize Story RecoiIed on His
Own Head.

OSNABROCk, n. D., June 2S-Some
weeks ago a news item was sent out
from this place and widely printed,
to the effect that through an error on
the part of a clerk in a Chicago mail
order house, Olaf Olaffson had lost his
veriform appendix.
AS the story went, Olaffson and his
wife sent orders to the Chicago house,
one for supply of liver pills and the
other for sweet pea seed. The clerk
had made mistake in the packages.
and Olaffson suffered from appendicitis
as result of taking several doses of
the seed, his wife being much vexed
because the liver pills which she had
planted did not sprout
A house which does a large mail or
oder business in this state determined
to investigate the truth Of the story.
and sent a special representative to
Osnabrock. He had little difficulty in
finding Mr.. Olaffson, who is a we'll
TODD farmer living about twelve miles
from here. Olaffson declared, now
ever, that the sweet pea-liver pill story
was erroneous in several particulars.
He admitted that he had lost his vermi-
form appendix, but declared it was
several years ago. He also denied that
he was a victim of the liver-pill habit,
declaring that he had never taken a
dose of medicine in his life, at least
not liver pills. His wife did not order
sweet peas from the Chicago house,
as asserted, for the simple reason that
he never had a wife.
Olaffson explained that the story was
the work of an ingenious, but I'M
scrupuOus newspaper man who was
unfriendly to him and who wished to
hold him up to ridicule.
AS bit of poetic justice, however,
Mr. Olaffson stated that soon after
sending out the story the newspaper
correspondent himself had been at
tackled by the disease and compelled
to submit to an operation. In the
dilated appendix of the newspaper
man two bird-shOt We're found but
OlaffSOn refused to advance a theory
as to how they got there.
Further investigation on the part of
the Chicago man resulted in full
substantatiOn of OlaffsOn's story.

GIRL ACCUSES LOVER.
Gertrude O'Hara Declares Poole Slew
and Buried Her Parents.

MINEOLA, L. l., June 2S.-Looking
her former sweetheart unflinchingly in
the eyes, Gertrude OHara, on the wit
ness stand in the trial of Grover Cleve-
land Poole. on a charge of numbering
her parent, calmly told of her success
in getting the young man to commit
himself specifically, even while she
permitted him to make love to her.
The girl, who is only nineteen years
old. admitted that she kept the secret
of the murder until the dead body Of
her father was found on September
q last, nearly two months after he
had disappeared She gave no reason
for her long silence except to say:
81 was engaged to Cleve and loved
him then, and 1 just couldn't make
up my mind to tell
Boy Is Not Dismayed.
Poole, who was employed on Howard
Gould's big estate, Castle Gould, near
Port Washington, showed no nervous
ness as the girl recounted his alleged
admissions. Once or twice when she
spoke of her former affection for him
he even smiled. He appeared to be in
different to the fact that Miss O'Hara' s
testimony appeared most damaging to
him.
The girl gave Poole's alleged de-
scription of the shooting as follows:
LAS soon as l shot him, Jim fell for
ward and he said, What have l done
that you should do this to me?' Then
he grabbed hold of my hand and he
was holding on to it when he died

WITNESS SENT TO EXILE.
Shuttle, the Convict Who Figured in
Trial of Watt, Is In Winnipeg.

WINNIPEG. Man., June 2S.-James
Shuttle a former convict, who played
such sensational part in the famous
trial of Hugh Watt, M. P. for Glas-
gov, for plotting the murder of his
divorced wife, is in Winnipeg. What
is of special significance just at this
time here, when the police are having
so UGH trouble with hold-up men and
diamond thieves, is that Shuttle was
sent to Canada by the British govern
ment, given money to pay his passage,
and set down in this city without the
knowledge of the authorities.
Shuttle, under the alias of James
Edwards, has been employed for sew
eral weeks in cleaning offices in bank
building. Yesterday he was discharged
as the result of a fight with the ele-
vator man. He laughed at the sug-
gestion that the police might be pay
ing attention to him, and said:
ma, 1 have been square since land
ing at ST. Johns, and they needn't ar
rest me, because if they did they would
have to turn me loose"
In conversation he insisted that the
police did not know everything about
his movements, and said that when he
was given money by the crown agent
to come to Canada he was assured that
nothing would be said to the Canadian
authorities about his presence on this
side
Shuttle was the chief witness in
one of the most sensational criminal
cases in recent years. Hugh Watt had
been named as correspondent in divorce
proceedings brought by Sir Reginald
Beauchamp against Lady Violet Beau
champ and the verdict assessed f10,-
600 damages against Watt
Following this action Watts wife in
stituted proceedings for divorce, but
old not apply for the final decree. This
prevented Watts marrying again.
His infatuation for Lady Violet was
the inspiration of his alleged intrigue
with Shuttle and another former con-
vic, for the purpose of having them
murder mis- wife. After they had Sc
cured sums of money from Watt, an
arrest was made. and they testified:
against him. A sentence of five years
was the result.

CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES.
Eminent GeoIogist Talks Interestingly
About the Recent Disturbance.


The interesting scientific examina-
ton of the earthquake, contributed by
geologist, points to a deep-seated frac-
ture of the earths crust as the imme-
opinion Professor Davis is at one with
the majority of the seismologists, but
from several of his colleagues, includ-
ing Sir Norman Lockyer, Professor
inclined to believe that there was some
connection between the phenomena at
he holds to be an entirely fancuful
supposition; for though his considera-
ton of the evidence seems to be rather
concerned with the question whether
the eruption caused the earthquake
liar cause, yet he plainly disbelieves
in any intimate relation between the
two.
One of the points upon which Profess
sor Davis carefully insists is that the
San Francisco earthquake was compar-
atively light, as earthquakes go. From
the accounts that have reached us it
is apparent that many of the better
buildings stood the shock we'll and that
the destruction caused Immediately by
the movements of the earth was not
so great as was at first supposed. To
describe the coast of California as a
dangerous place for human habitation
strikes Professor Davis as absurd. The
region, he tells u.s. is not peculiarly I'M
for instance, earthquakes of far great

hood of volcanoes hike Vesuvius, less
even than in the prairie states where
tornadoes are frequent, or coast towns
occasionally visited by so-called tidal
waves.
In a word, he sees no reason in the
world why San Francisco, with strong
err buildings and better precautions
against fire, should not rise up again
as a giant city. after surviving
many troubles all through the ages, we
are not" he says, going to give up

In addition to doing stunts for news
