tion the city has seen for several

In all there were $50 votes cast as

There We're only two spoiled ballots.
n For the office of treasurer Mr.. Davis
r. had no opposition.
n OF the three men elected yesterday
Il two are present members of the board,
They are l.. A. Hamill and w. ]. Rob-
erts, both of whom have performed
good service in the past The new
member Of the board is w B. Woolley,
who Is considered an excellent man
for dictatorship. Mr.. Woolley has
n served previously as member OF the
h board and has an excellent knowledge
of school affairs. That he will make
81 io hQ-
yond question. Mr. Woolley is a coil
tractor and was the Inspector of the
building of the George Washington
school. which was recently completed.
There are many surprises as well as
much regret expressed over the defeat
OF Sam C. Westcott. Mr.. Westcott
has been member of the board for
nine years past and his reign OF OF,
zee has been an interesting one
From the very first meeting which
Mr. Westcott ever attended he has
advocated economy and that has been
his slogan during every term he has
served. Entering the board at the re-
ouest of his friends it will be ren1em-
hered that the floating Indebtedness
was 100000. A short time later he
was made chairman of the finance
committee and during the next few
4 years this indebtedness was reduced
to $4,000. His services along this
line have been invaluable. During this
4 time he holds the record of never hay
i ing missed meeting.
In point of interest the election at
tracted more attention than any hello
in some years. The fact that nearl,
one thousand votes We're cast is an evi
d dence Of the interest that was takei
d and voters from many parts Of the cit.

1t is evident from all appearances the
yeggmen were local people who are as
familiar with the store, the surround
ings. the location of the till and the
cash registers, as the proprletors

Safety from Lightning.

On the approach of a thunderstorm
French peasants often make up very
smoky fire, in the belief that safety
from lightning is thus assured. BY
some this is deemed superstition
but the custom is based on reason, in
asmuch as the smoke acts as good
conductor for carrying away the cleo
tricity.

MAY RAISE RATES
ON GERMAN TARIFF
Unless United States Agrees by Feb
ruary 7 to Reciprocity Gen.
eral Schedule Will
Be in Force

BERLIN. Jan. 19.-The government
has decided in the event an agreement
on reciprocal tariffs between the United
States and Germany is not reached by
February Z, when the running arrange
ment expires, Germany's general tariff
rates must, under the law, be applied
to American imports at present coming
in under the conventional tariff. One
hundred and twenty-five articles will
be affected.
1t was, however, semi i-officially de-
clared today the tariff negotiations with
the United States had not been broken
off and it was added that time re-
mained for a settlement of the diff
ferences between the two countries. In
the absence of such a settlement the
general tariff rates will go into effect
automatically at midnight February r.
The imperial consultative commercial
board, composed of manufacturers,
financiers and economists has been
summoned to meet January "a and con-
slider the trade position taken by the
United States.
Last nights speech of Privy Conselor
Goldberger before the American Asso-
ciation of Commerce and Trade in
which the speaker indicated Germany
was not disposed to give way to the
United States, was based, it is learned,
upon Goldberger's personal inquiries
in government quarters.

SLUM HABlTUES

HERMANN'S TRIAL BRINGS OUT
NEW FEATURES
Interesting Evidence Is Adduced at
Trial of Former Congressman
on Charge of Conspiracy
at Portland
[Associated PressI

CORTLAND, Ore, Jan. l9.-The man
ner in which applications for school
land and assignments therefor are al
legged to have been secured by whole
sale among tho slums of Portland, and
the fact that this aroused no suspicion
in the state school land office, were
among the interesting features today of
the trial of Binger Hermann, former
congressman, on a charge of conspiracy
to defraud the government of part of
the public domain.
Today's session of the federal court
was, on the whole, an entertaining one,
but an early adjournment was necessi-
tated by the illness of Judge WolVer-
ton.
George G.. Brown, for seventeen years
an employe Of the state land board, eX-
planned the system of conducting the
state land Office, the method of setting
aside land, issuing certificates, the pay
ments and similar routine, and identi-
fled the certificates which were issued
to George Sorenson, Dan Tarpley, Hor-
ace G.. Mckinley and others, who were
after lands to be included in the Blue
Mountain reserve when Mays, w. n.
Jones and their "mysterious friend at
washington, D. c." had the reserve
created.
1t was not unusual, Brown said, to
receive a large batch of applications
from some timber dealer, but it did not
cause suspicion and the question of
fraud never came up until the grand
jury called the attention of the state
land board to what was going on.
AS a subordinate, he said he had in
structions to accept applications with
out question.

COrding to testimony in today's hearing

by Miss Rose Christy, sister of the art
ist, in her testimony.
Miss Christy said that one night she
overheard Mrs. Christy in her room at
the Christy home at Duncan Falls
rummaging through a trunk and mum
bling and swearing, when Mr.. Christy
said if she did not stop her talking and
so to bed he would spank her.
Il guess he did spank her" Miss
Christy said, Judging from the sounds
which came from their room. The next
morning Mrs Christy laughed and said
she guessed she deserved it."
Anna Washington, a colored maid
formerly at the Christy home in New
York, said she often saw Mrs. Christy
intoxicated, and that she often called
Purdy, the chauffeur for her mistress,
and that she served drinks to both in
Mrs. Christy's boudoir.
On one occasion, the maid testified,
Mrs. Christy said TO her regarding
Purdy:
Pm crazy about that man, isn't he
handsome?" and that IF it were not for
Natalie she would be with him always -
She also quoted Purdy as saying:
God only knows how much l love
this woman" referring to Mrs. Christy
When the maid was excused each side
announced that it had completed its
case. Then Judge White prepared to
go to the home of Attorney Durham,
representing Mr.. Christy, where Nata-
lie Christy has been visiting during the
trial. for the purpose of questioning the

years ago on the ground that it might
strain the relations between Belgium
and France, but the political objections
disappeared with the death Of Leopold
when Clementine became the cousin Of
the reigning monarch of Belgium.
Prince Victor is regarded by the
royalists of France as the hope of a
re-establishment of the monarchy. but
he has not concerned himself greatly
with politics.
