involved in many dubious transac-
Itions.
Frequent applications for money
were made by Mrs. Hau to her moth
er, at the behest of Hau. At the pre-
iminary investigation of Hau, his
wife testified that once, in a Paris
hotel, he shot her through the hip
because she refused TO write her
mother forImore funds. While the
relations between Frau Molitor and
her son-in-law were at all times
strained, the former RECEIVED the
couple at her home upon their visits
to Baden-Baden and sent them much
money during their travels.
Frau Molitor was killed az Baden
Baden last November, and Hau adj
mits having been there at the time.
The aged woman had been tele-
phoned that there was an important
letter for her at the postofiice, which
must be called for in person, and
set forth on her fatal walk in re-
sponse to this message. She was sho.
down from ambush and fatally
wounded while on this errand, dying
regaining consciousness. The
servant who answered the telephone
ASSERTS positively that Il was Hau's

The Capital City of Oregon

By the local police, who assert that
the American college professor has
been treated with the utmost consid-
Grafton. It Is stated that he has been
allowed more than the customary
liberty. such as being allowed to pace
the corridors when he desired and to
spend an hour a day in the prison
courtyard.
Hau Is a Catholic and since his
confinement here has been visited
daily by priests, who make open ex-
presslons of belief in his innocence.
His meals have been served to him
from a local hotel. These and many
other luxuries are paid out of tho
1000 marks found on his person at
the time Of his arrest.
Professor Hau has many friends In
Washington, whore he spent some
time as instructor in Roman law at
George Washington university. Let
ters of encouragement have been re-
ceived from many of those and have
done much to put heart into the ac-
cused man. lie declares that If he IS
acquitted he will return to Ameri-
ca to spend the rest of his life and
will never again set foot on European
soil. II is believed that he was on
his way to the United States when
arrested for the murder of Frau
Molitor in London. The trial will
probably be concluded within three
or four days.

who was placed on trial today. De-
spite the fact that Hau has been ex-
amined and pronounced sane by a
commission of alienists, the theory
o. mental irresponslbility will almost
certainly be brought forward by the
defense. This is evidenced by the
fact that Hau's attorneys have en-
gagged Professor Schaffenburger Of
Cologne to testify In the case.
Sensational charges against the
German police In the matter OF Hau's
treatment since his incarceration In
the prison here have been made by
his American friends and may be
aired during the trial IL Is alleged
that the officers have used every
method OF diabollcal torture In their
efforts TO make the youthful pro-
fessor confess to having murdered
his wife's mother at Baden Baden
last November.
Haus chances of being acquitted
have been greatly lessened by the
suicide OF his wife. who drowned
herself near Zurich several weeks

the woman she stated that she stlll

that she could not bear TO continue

by the police to the effect that Hau

SPELLING The couNTERslGN.

Ihere are some very amusing and
some very beautifully impressive cir
cumstances about sentinel's duty at
West Point. The amusing things
come from the mighty seriousness
and awe that later seem so funny
the low tones in which the orders are
communicated to the new cadet, the
whispered countersign, what he must
do if an enemy should approach, and
finally the penalty of death if caught
asleep The first tour made was on
a very murky, black night; and when
the corporal gave me the cOuntersign,
"Quatre Bras which he whispered,
was in difficulty. Not knowing any
French and never having heard of
the celebrated battle, I asked him to
spell it. He ratified it off and marched
away. In my ear it didn't spell the
words he nd pronounced at all. I
walked faithfully back and forth over
my post wondering what the word
was.
After a while along came the ser
geant of the guard, General John NJ.
Wilson, lately a glowing satellite In
the planetary system of Washington
life, who, on or off duty, had an air
that was tiercely military. Upon my
demanding the countersign, he an
sWered it in approved French.
Said |, Spell it." and recruit-like
came to charge bayonets.
He took that as almost an affront,
and I'm surprised that it did not
bring on a fatal attack of military
vertigo; but he complied with the
sentinels request. Then approach
ing, he asked me my orders with
Overpowering Importance, as If it

Under such circumstances it is not
remarkable that the gigantic task or

In progress on tie Isthnus there IS
going steadily forward in Florida an
enterprise which, in the opinion or
experts, offers many valuable sug
gestions TO the men who are solving
canal problems. The building of
such a railroad as that now under
construction between Miami and
Key West, over the long line Of the
Florida Keys, necessitates the en-
pIoyment of thousands OF men, the
handling the vast quantities of mate
rial and supplies and the overcoming
OF many difficulties due to climate
and topography. Especially in the
way in which thousands Of workmen
are enlisted and managed without the
Intervention of contractors is there
said to be an object lesson as to the
method by which the big ditch might

Chinese Labor and the Panama Canal

Prime Factor in the CooIie Problem.

wage per month by the employer and
are furnished in addition with cloth
ing, food, medical attendance and
transportation to and from china at
the employers expense. This causes
the actual cost of Chinese labor to
vary, when brought to the western
hemisphere, as the item of transpoTta-
ton is very considerable one AMI
varies greatly IN different sections
For example, if a laborer comes over
on one-year contract working 25J
days in the year, and the cost of his
transportation both ways is S75, it
adds cost of 80 cents per day to the
year contract, the cost would be but
10 cents per day. This makes the
actual cost depend upon all the condi-
lions of each particular case. All in
all, however, it is safe to assume that
the actual cost of this class of labor
if employed at Panama, depending
upon the number employed, the term
OF the contract, and the manner in
which they are worked. And it is
safe to say that if properly selected
Chinese labor is engaged for Panama
the result will be a saving of % per
cent in the time of the work and a
Saving of many millions of dollars in
its cost. There is no doubt that 5000
Icoolie laborers will accomplish more

FAILS AS RAILWAY MANAGER.
Party Expediency Takes Guiding

All the railways belong to the gov

of providing some means of obtaining

Gates that the colony has found grave
flaws in the system.
Party expediency has often taken a
guiding hand in railway administra-

dreds of thousands of dollars annually
since it's construction.
At the present time it is extremely
difficult to ensure the impartial con-
sideration of any railway scheme or
railway expenditure.
All that was felt as long ago as 1893
when a select committee was formed
to make Inquiries on lines similar to
those to which lie new commission is
to turn it's attention.
Mr.. Merriman sought at that time
to secure the appointment of per.
manent advisory board, but from one
cause or another the proposal fell
through. 1t is understood that the
first duty Of the commission which
the government has now appointed
will be to endeavor to formulate q
scheme which will disassociate the
railways from party politics.
