divorce and us the divorce rate Is
rapidly increasing. probably at least
eight out of every hundred marriages
contracted will end in divorce" The
professor also finds that the mar
riago rate In this county is incrcas-
ing, but also the divorce rate is more
than keeping pace with It.
The average number OF persons
married each Year 20 the 10000 po-
pplation Is 1856; II rate exceeded only
| by Western Australia among the
thirty-nine regions from which fig
ures We're obtained. The average an
nual number of marriages to 10000
marriageable population for the last
given five-year period was IA, a
rate exceeded only by Hungary,
among the twenty-three regions from
which figures were obtained.
The marriage rate in this country
is lowest in the Northen States and
highest in the Southern States, the
rates being twice as high in the
States where negroes live as in the
! North.
The figures show, Mr.. Wilcox
points out, that the early marriages
are much more common among ne
groes and Indians than whites, but
they also show that among the white
population of both sexes early mar.
riages are much more common In
the Southern States than in the Nor
thern. lie also says that in the
United States married life begins in
the country districts at an earlier age
than 1t does in the cities, that II
probably lasts longer and that II the
union is broken II is more likely 10
be succeeded by second marriage.
Mr. Wilcox adds significantly; 1T
demonstrates chat the influence OF
city life in the United States Is Ia
delay and thus In some measure to
prevent marriage; that this inilu'
ence among men Is somewhat cOun,
teracted by the excess Of women Ia
the cities. and upon women by the
same influence

Just because the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company does not play an
ordinarily fair game with Honolulu?
Instead of faying the Pacific Mail by
attempting to give Japan the SUI

lusely Independent of the Pacific

minder of the confidence that the
members of the Bar have in his abil-

OF new idea that has suddenly de-
veloped in the state Department.
Nicaragua furnishes the only field
for the construction of an inter-
ocean canal that might come in COM
petition with the Panama canal.
Many will recall how Senator Nor
gan maintained to his dying day
that the United States should have
lut its canal through by the Mic
pIaguan route.
The proximity of Nicaragua to the
Panama canal, whether the northern
canal route be utilized or not, makes
the government of that little country
matter of profound interest to
America. The United States cannot
afford to have Nicaragua In the
hands of a government antagonistic
to American interests, nor can II al
low a reckless administration of af-
fairs to bring Nicaragua into compli-
cations with European powers.
Consequently we are inclined to
look upon the rushing OF warships
and marines to the Nicaraguan coast
as the working out of a settled poll
cy that only awaited a favorable OPP
portunity to develop.
With the Panama Canal as our
great artery of trade between the
Pacific and the Atlantic, the nations
of the adjoining countries must be-
have themselves. II they conduct
themselves with ordinary propriety,
well and good. II they do not, they
must be disciplined, eveR to the
point of setting up a government for
them that shall at least prevent the
execution OF American citizens with
, out trial and give the protection OF
civilized nation to residents OF
other nationalities.
Events of the last ten years have
tended more and more to convert the
F, Caribbean sea into an American lake
This domination Of course carries
with It great responsibilities. Ma.
lions bordering on that lake must sc

SAY LAST WILL
IS A FORGERY
COUNTY CLERK AND
WRITING EXPERT IN COURT
These Two Men Believe That the
Contested Young VIII Is Spurious
both Supposed to Have Been
Familiar With His Handwriting
for Years Past-More Testimony
Concerning the Character of One
of Leading Witnesses.

That the alleged last will and tes-
| lament of the late James w. Young,
now being contested, is forgery was
| the statement made by County Clerk
Frank Sailing and Charles Marsh of
the Hartman Abstract company on
the witness stand yesterday after
noon Both men are supposed TO
have been familiar with the writing
Of Young for a number of years, and
aside from that Marsh is regarded as
handwriting expert.
Both of these witnesses expert
enced no difficulty in picking out
every bit of Young's writing that was
handed them for Identification, and
they had no hesitancy in declaring
that this document, as we'll as the
two preceding ones, was spurious.
L. A. Shallenberger of Weston was
one Of the witnesses placed on the
stand yesterday, his testimony being
identical with that given at the pre-
vious trials. He told of being in his
store at Weston on the day the mys-
terious Second will' appeared, and
OF seeing Mabel Warner drop an en-
velope similar in size and color to
the one in which about an hour later
she professed to have discovered the
will" while looking through a box
of papers belonging to the Young es-
tate.
Attorney s. D. Peterson Of Milton
was called to the stand yesterday to
testify regarding the character of S.
V. Knox. He declared among other
things that Knox had made some in
surance collections for an insurance
company and then failed to turn
them over. He said the only reason
the old man was not prosecuted by
the company was his advanced age.
Owing to the absence Of Judge Gil
liland from the city. recess in the
trial Of the case is being taken today,
but the hearing will be resumed to-
morrow morning.

COLORED BISHOP
FLEES TO THE NORTH

Greenville, Miss.-E. W. Hampton,
colored man, recently made bishop
of the A. NJ. E. church of this dis
trict, and his daughter left town for
the north, she going to Oberlin, O..
and he to Cincinnati, today following
three mass meetings of prominent
citizens, who demanded that they
never return.
The daughter insisted on a tele-
phone girl calling her Miss" and the
bishop complained to the superin-
tendent that his daughter was not
treated on equal terms with his
white interiors"
The mass meetings resulted in a
resolution which expressed regret
that worse punishment was not given
and that "the people Of Greenville
have once more demonstrated that
the south is a white mans country
and that no respectable white wom-
an, no matter what her station, shall
be insulted with impunity by any ne
gro of either sex, no matter what
position they may occupy in so-calledl
colored society,""
On leaving hampton announced he
would be back soon.

Salem, June 15.-Testimony is be-
ing taken today on the Crater Lake
road case wherein an attorney seeks
to enjoin the state treasurer and Sec
retary of state, based on constitutional
grounds. from paying over The amount
appropriated for the road.
Mcmahon contends that the road
from Medford to Klamath Falls will
be of more practicable value than the
Crater road. Will G. Steel, of Port.
land, &c. Gilltner. secretary of a
commercial club of Portland. Phil
Matschen of Portland, and former
county judge John Scott, of Salem are
for the defense. They testified that 1t
was the object to continue the con-
struction of the Crater road until 1t
reached from the western to the
eastern boundary of the state
McMahan is trying to show that the
primary object OF those behind the
Crater road legislation is to build a
highway for the tourist travelling to
Medford, Klamah Falls and Crater
Lake, and thereby, contends that the
appropriation was for local and spec
ial purposes and of no benefit to the
state at large. No matter what Judge
Galloway decides the case will be car
ried to the supreme court.

the closing argument for Calhoun.
who lauded the defendant as mar
tyr to the activity of the graft prose-
cution, following upon his efforts to
rehabilitate the car system after the
earthquake.
King did not attempt to refute the
arguments made by the prosecution.
He said: "San Francisco would
have been up against it if it had not
been for Calhoun at the time of the
earthquake. He started the system
when it was a great question as to
whether such a system would ever
pay for the money invested. This
is the man who stands before you
accused of the crime which is not
proven. This man Spreckles," turn
ing to Spreckles, who sat near Heney,
'is the man who wanted to start
street car system of his own and so
started the graft prosecution. He en-
ployed one of the most astute detec-
tives in the country and enjoined his
own man into district attorney Of

tcrney in the role of assistant district
attorney and a private detective as

million dollars and quietly collecting

in Portland today.
1--WE are not seeking investment
opportunities for ourselves, but for
our people, who have commissioned
us to represent them," said Mr.. ST.
mons. when the canal is COM
pleted there will be established a
great Dutch line of steamships max
ing San Francisco. Portland and Sc
attle entry ports. The vessels are al
ready under construction"
The capitalist is today spending his
time obtaining figures on the re-
resources of Oregon. He will then
journey through Washington.
Mr.. Simons continued: "The COM
pletion of the Panama canal means
that Hollands business after that
date will be done with the Pacific
coast. The eyes OF the Dutch people
are on this coast with the most in
tense interest.
1.-THE idea occurred to us year
ago that it would be good idea to
conduct our business with western
people. We have a great deal or
money awaiting investment when IA
vorable opportunities present them
selves. Heretofore the business has
been between Holland and the east,
conducted through eastern financial
agents. We Invested the money and
they got great commissions for its
use. Under the present conditions
the Dutch have $150,000,0O invest
ed in this country. Dutch capitalists
own the Santa Fe railroad"
