WOOLLEY TELLS ABOUT
MAKING A NEW HARB0R

The assembly room of the Com
mercial club was we'll filled yester-
day afternoon to hear II. s. Wooley,
president OF the st. George Trust
company, explain his proposition to
create a new harbor near Crescent
City. George w. Warren, president
of the Astoria National bank, Is vice.
president OF the company.
Mr.. Woolley showed maps giving
in detail the plans he has made, sub
staatially as told in The Courier
couple of weeks ago, He explained
that he was not endeayoring to sell
stock in his company and that all he
wanted was the moral support OF the
community.
Mr.. Woolley Is very enthusiastic
over his scheme and In an interest
ing talk he showed the advantages
that would come to this country by
the building Of such a harbor as he
had In mind.
He pointed out that everything
that everything that is produced in
this country and shipped away has
to be hauled by railroad to Portland
or San Francisco before It can reach
tidewater. That Is also true OF goods
shipped into this country.
With the completion OF the Pana-
ma canal. Mr.. Woolley pointed out,
great savings could be effected by
having a seaport at Crescent City
It is approximately 500 miles tc
Portland and back from this point
so that It would be possible to save
1000 miles OF distance In shipping
the goods through the canal which
are produced in this part OF Oregon
besides the railroad haul to Frisco
! and Portland,
The territory east OF the noun
tains also could be brought to thi
a new port more cheaply than to an
other.

CRlPPEN PAYS PENALTY
FOR DASTARDLY CRIME

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Among a
score of unmarked flagstone-cover-
ed graves in the yard of Pentonville
prison today lies the body of DR.. H.
H. Crippen, while Miss Ethel Claire
Leneve, for whom Crippen commit
ted the crime for which he paid with
mis- life, is being borne toward Ameri-
ca on the liner Majestic.
DR.. Hawley H. Crippen, hanged to-
day at Pentonville for the murder
of his wife, Belle Elmore-Crippen,
is one of the most remarkable GRIM
inals that ever sprung trap on any
gallows in Merrie England. Whether
Crippen confessed the crime to his
spiritual adviser, Carey, after en-
bracing Catholicism shortly before
his brief journey to the gallows,
whether he confessed the details of
horrible murder to Solicitor New
town, his counsel, or whether he
held spurious or bona fide confession
to the London Evening Times to pro-
vide Miss Leneve with a competence
will probably never be known. The
Times reiterated today that the
American physician confessed a cum
ningly planned crime; Father Carey,
Miss Leneve and Arthur Newtown,
Crippen's counsel, denied knowledge
of any confession.
The doomed mans last night or
earth was a wakeful one. He called
often to the death watch to ask the
time. Father Carey, Of the church
, Of the Sacred Heart, arrived at dawr
and administered the last rites of thu
church. Crippen engaged In earn
est conference with the priest anC
apparently did not brood over hi
approaching end.
Frequently during the talk in tn
dimly lighted cell Crippen referee

merely reiterated his former reply, q

which was not followed, and Lord
Charles, apparently master OF the sit

and calmly lighted a cigar.
But the Italians were not to be out

MIX NATIONAL GUARD
WITH REGULAR TROOPS
Plan of Secretary Dickinson Being
Tried In the New England
States.

washington, March 1s.-one of
the most important orders in con-
nectfon with the national guard ever
issued by the war department has
Just been promulgated. It is the
first pronounced step in the formu-
lation of the military policy of the
United States and it's naturalization
and realization are largely due to
the work of Secretary of War Dick
inson. In accordance with the plan
proposed the country has been d.
vided into eight parts each with
a central point for centration. The
consent of the governors has been
sought and one division has been or
ganized.
1t will be known as the first field
army and includes the states Of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut and New York. 1t will con-
sist of three divisions each with three
brigades of infantry. cavalry, field
artillery, engineers, signal corps,
ambulance companies and field hos
pitfalls.
Each regiment of the national
guard has been assigned to a place
in one OF the three divisions, and
the regular troops have been assign
ed according to the stations. Thus
the regiment stationed at Fort Por-
ter, Buffalo, will always be In the
first brigade of the first division of
the first field army as long as this
order stands, no matter what regi-
ment is stationed at Fort Porter.
Another departure is the designa-
ton of the cavalry composed Of the
regular and national guard as the
national cavalry" and the field ar
tiIlery as the national field artillery"
when composed of regular and ma
tional guard artillery combined.

and leased to the sanitary district of
Chicago for term of years.
A special session of the legislature
was called to meet at Springfield on
Dec. IA last, an emergency session, to
act on waterway and water power mat
ters. The Schmitt bill was introduced
IN the senate Dec. IA. 1t was an adj
ministration measure, and passed the
senate early In January by a bare ma
jority, of the governors friends. 1t
provided for a commission to issue
and spend $4,000, 900 in the develop
ment Of water power in the Desplaines
river at once, or as soon as possible.
1t authorized the commission to ac-
quire by condemnation all water power
rights in and along the Desplaines
river and pay the condemnation value
out OF the bond issue receipts. 1t ig-
nored waterway-deep waterway-and
provided that all power, when fully
developed and not before, should be
sold or leased in bulk to the highest
bidder-under which terms there could
have been but one bidder for the pow
er-it could not have been distributed
to the towns down the valley. 1t was
purely water power bill. Governor
Deneen, IN a message about Jan. &c,
said: "And this whole question is a
question of water power In so far as
the expenditure Of $4,000, 900 by the
state is concerned" This, with no
federal aid and not in conjunction with
the federal government. Is there a
voter in Illinois who voted for any
such proposition in November. 190S7
The state alone, and not in coniunc-
ton with the federal government, can
not take one cubic foot of water out of
Lake Michigan, without which there
would be ne water power.
The governor, the internal improve
ment commission, and every advocate
of the bond issue amendment have
said that in the Desplaines river was
possible water power development
capable of earning $4,000, 900 per an
mum, and have said and supposed that
1t was owned by the state of Illinois
Let me ask: First, what would be the
value Of this property to the owners If
it were condemned, having an annual
earning capacity of $4,000, 900 per an
mum? Second, what is the moral sit
uation as to the bond issue when it is
found in October, 1909, by a decision
of the supreme court, that the state
owns nothing in these water power
rights, but must acquire them all by
condemnation AS we'll might the
state spend $20ooo,00o in buying up
the laundries in the state of Illinois
and go into business. The house de-
feated the Schmitt bill, and legisla-
ture should be elected in 1910 that will
again defeat it and be opposed to the
issuing Of any bonds until the matter
is again submitted to the people, or
until the courts determine that the
state of Illinois is the owner of the
water power rights in the Desplaines
river and the federal government, by
proper legislation, undertakes the full
construction and management of
proper and suitable waterway from
Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico.

way pretend to discuss the large

It was in the days of Philip thu

duke was travelling one night to

upon the ground sound asleep and
babe his attendants carry him to the
palace, strip Off his rags and place
him, robed in fine linen, In his own
bed.
When the man awoke next morning
he was addressed as your highness"
and astounded TO find himself among
such rich surroundings. In vain he
protested that he was no prince, but
poor cobbler. They asked him what
clothing he would wear and at last
conducted him, splendidly dressed. to
mass In the ducal chapel. Every cere-
mony was observed throughout the
day. The cobbler appeared in public
In his new role, was received on all
sides by command of the duke with
deep respect and ended his brief reign
In the palace with a grand supper and
ball.
When presently he fell asleep he
was reclothed in his rags and taken to
the spot where he had been found
when this practical joke was con-
