There was small effort made yesterday at decoration, for none is needed.
 Low ceilings with transverse beams, softly tinted walls and great stone man tels with furnishings suggesting com fort and beauty at once, ask for no extla adornment of blossom or foliage. Resting on mantels and tables, however, and in ouaint iardinieres were clusters of Amer ican beauty and Richmond roses and some of the more delicate blossoms of the springtime. The tables were placed in the long living room, down the center Of which descends superb colonial stair way: in the palm-shaded balcony at the ton of the stairs in the charming little library, in the dining room and In the breakfast room, delightful little place whose ceilings suggest vine-covered re- cess, and whose easements held bowls or fragment blooms.
 Mrs. DeBardeleben received her guests wearing a satin foulard afternoon gown in the berry shade. which she affects so successfully. A cluster of orchids worn iI her iiafr was extremely becoming.

THE CENSUS TAKERS

Over the telephone yesterday afternoon a pleasant voice said Cant you make the suggestion through the social col umns that the people of Birmingham help the census man get through with his duties?' I have been told that out of 200 houses visited yesterday, information was gained at only 12. At almost every one word was sent down by the lady of the house. that she was busy, that she couldn't see anyone didn't want to buy anything, etc. This begins to look as though Birmingham is going to show up badly in the records, and it is the women who are difficult to see It takes only a little time to give the desired informa- ton, and 1t will be a great help to these men and women who are working in be- half of the United States government if our householders will see them when they call.

CARICATURES
DRAW OFFICIAL PROTEST

Berlin.-A strong official protest
has been made against the general
tendency of caricatures of the imperial
German chancellor, Herr Won Beth
mann Hollweg.
The caricatures represent the Chan
cellor as being an inert helpless,
bored, lazy philosopher, incapable of
any definite resolution, and utterly
untitled to possess any decisive pow
er. 1t is complained that these carl
catures of the chancellor are calcu-
lated to lessen the prestige of the
the German empire in the eyes of 9TH
er nations, inasmuch as German carl
catures of Herr Won Bethmann Holl-
veg inevitably find their way into the
columns of foreign newspapers
1t is alleged that the caricatures
represent Herr Won Bethmann Holl-
veg to be so grotesque a figure that
profound contempt for Germany
having such a chancellor must be
certain result of looking at them. For
this reason it is urged as a patriotic
duty to refrain from caricaturing the
chancellor in such merciless style.

ARE PROPOSED
TO REPRESS THE APACHE

Paris.-One of the gravest tasks
which confronts the Paris authorities
Is the repression Of the apache"
In the course Of the debate In the
Chamber some two years ago on the
abolition Of the death penalty, NJ.
BRAND, then Minister Of Justice, de-
clared that in his opinion one of the
chief causes Of the increase of GRIM
lnality was the abuse of the privilege
OF carrying weapons and the facility
with which arms can be procured.
One Of the first measures to be
taken therefore, If the apache is to
be got rid of, is to make it impossible
or at all events extremely difficult,
to procure the weapons which render
him so dangerous an enemy of So
ciety.
The law places certain obstacles in
the way of carrying arms, such as
placing pocket pistols in the category
of prohibited weapons" the possess
sion Of which renders one liable to
a heavy fine. But nothing is done to
prevent the purchase of such weap-
ons, and gunsmiths shops are plenti-
full enough in Paris The apache,
however, buys his revolvers second
hand, as a rule.
To all intents and purposes the pro-
hibition to carry arms is dead let
ter 1t comes into play, more often
than not. after the harm is done, and
sometimes an honest citizen who uses
a revolver or pistol in self-defense is
prosecuted by the authorities whose
duty it is to protect him.
The only way to stop the murderous
practices of the apache is to restrict
the sale of weapons of all sorts, and
the Surete has prepared draft regu-
lations which, If strictly carried out,
would certainly cut his claws. These
regulations provide that any person
desiring to carry a weapon of any
sort must go to the police commits
sioner of his district and justify his
request. If the commissary, after.
making inquiries, considers that the
person may safely be trusted with
weapon, he will deliver certificate.
with special note to the effect that
the person in question may have need
of the said weapon for self-defense.

RAILROADS WILL RAISE
THE SOCIALIST BUGABOO

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Socialism, that
bugaboo of frightful mien, will be
raised by the railroads in an attempt
to frighten the interstate commerce
commission when that body begins its
examination into the proposed freight
rate Increases here next week. 1t
was learned today that all plans have
been made for putting the question
of government ownership squarely
before the federal authorities and the
people, and a memorial with this OBJ
tect in view has been drawn up.
1t will be urged by the railroads
that increased cost of operation ne
cessitates proportionate increases in
rates, and that if the railroads are
not permitted to make such increases
the railways may as well be turned
over to the government. Nothing is
to be said in the memorial however,
about watered stocks or the payment
of dividends and interest on stock and
bond issues many times greater than
the valuation of the roads.
Shippers have advanced an esti-
mate that the earnings of the rail-
ways OF the country in the fiscal year
ending June 80 last have increased
about s94, 100000 over the preceding
year. While not denying that there
has been a great increase, railroad
men say that it has oeen eaten up by
proportionate increases in expenses
1t is expected that the decision of
the interstate commerce commission
yx-il1 hn civ T,,II
consideration has been given to the
facts, figures and statistics submitted
by both railways and shippers.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS IN
PEOPLES WAREHOUSE

The Peoples Warehouse, the largest
department store in eastern Oregon as
well as in Pendleton. is again under
going extensive improvements and all
terations. Paint and kalsomine have
been applied in copious quantities
from basement to housetop and the
different departments have been so
arranged and the building so re-
modelled as to give more room and
greater convenience than the big
store has ever enjoyed.
Probably chief of the changes to be
made is the removal of the grocery
department from the back to the
front half of the basement. It will
occupy a room so feet square which
was formerly used as a store room
and which will be so located that con-
siderable natural light will be OBJ
tanned by means OF windows in the
front. Under the old arrangements,
artificial light alone prevailed. The
entrance to the department will also
he at the very front of the store. in
stead of at the rear. A stairway Is
being cut through the main floor.
just to the left of the front entrance.
The present grocery department
room will be used as a trunk room,
while the part of the basement form
erly used for trunks win pe utilized
for warehouse purposes.
The third floor of the building Is
also included in the list OF changes
The entire floor has been covered
with coat of Jap-a-lac while the
color of the walls has been changed
to green by the use of kalsomine.
The art department has been re-
moved to the balcony while the ladies
ready to wear department and also the
millinery department have been re-
arranged.
The store Is very much in confus-
ion today but by tomorrow order will
be coming out of the chaos and when
the changes are completed there will
he much more room and much great
er conveniences for employees and pat
rons alike.
