jos. PULITZER
.ENROUTE HERE
DIED ON YACHT
EXPIRED WHILE IN THE HARBOR|
OF CHARLESTON ON SUM-
DAY AFTERNOON.
Always Wintered at JekyI Where He
Has a Beautiful Home-Heart Dis
ease, 1t is Said, Caused Death of
Journalist.

Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the
New York World and the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch and one of the most
commanding figures in modern jour
nalism, died at LAO o'clock Sunday on
board his yacht, the Liberty, in the
harbor of Charleston. The immediate
cause of Mr.. Pulitzer's death was
heart failure.
He had been i'll for several days,
but until few hours before the end
none of those around him had any
suspicion of the gravity of his condi-
ton. The change for the worse came
at about a. M, when he suffered an
attack of severe pain. BY daylight he
appeared to be better and fell asleep
later. He awoke at 1 o'clock, COM
planned of pain in his heart, fell into
faint and expired at LAO o'clock.
Mrs. Pulitzer, who had been sent
for, arrived from New York Sunday
morning and reached the yacht short
ly before her husband died. She was
at his bedside when the end came, as
also was, his youngest son, Herbert,
who has been cruising with his father
during the present trip.
Mr. Pulitzers body was taken to
New York yesterday afternoon on d
special Pullman car, special arrange
ments having been made for the
transportation Of the remains The
coach was lined with black. The fun
eral will be held at Woodlawn ceme-
terry in New York towards the end of
this week. Mr.. Pulitzer's son Joseph
is now on his way from st. Louis with
his wife, and one of his daughters
will come from Colorado Ralph Pu-
liter, the eldest son, is ON his way
to Charleston and will meet the train
enroute.
Up to an hour and a half before his
death, Mr.. Pulitzers mind remained
perfectly clear. His German secre-
tary had been reading to him an dc-
count of the reign of Louis XI Of
France in the story whose career Mr..
Pulitzer had always taken the liveli-
est interest. AS the secretary neared
the end of his chapter and came to
the death of the French king, Mr.
Pulitzer said to him: "Leise, ganz
leise" (Softly, quite softly. Those
were the last words which he spoke
on earth.
Mr.. Pulitzer's yacht had been in
Charleston harbor for six days. She
was on her way to Jekyl island, where
Mr.. Pulitzer owned winter home.
There had been some talk also of
taking cruise to the West Indies
and but for the fact that the yacht
was detained in Charleston by the
threatened West Indian hurricane, Mr..
Pulitzers end probably would have
come upon the high seas or at Jekyl
island.

a petition from the Recorder ask
Ing for an increase of salary was
read. The present salary is S25 per
month and it was asked that the in
crease be made to $50 per month. The
matter was discussed for some time.
All members of Council seemed to
think 1T ought TO be raised, but some
did not think that now was the time
to raise it. Mr.. McKeiver thought
that the mater ought to be consider
ed further before it was acted on.
Mr.. McLaurin was in favor of it bnt
he wanted to know where the mon
ey was to come from. On a motion
to raise the salary Of the Recorder
to $50 there were three in favor of
raising 1T now and three in favor Of
letting it remain as 1t was for the
present. Mr.. McLaurin and Mr..
Wilder did not vote. The Mayor cast
the deciding vote In favor Of the in
crease of salary. Mr.. Booth and Mr..
Wright stated that they did not think
ii ought to be raised until after the
present incumbent had been in office
for one year. He had accepted the
office knowing what the duties were
and what the salary was and they
thought it ought to stand as it was
for the year.
Mr.. Glenn wanted to know if the
city would pay half on the curbing
for blocks in the city. He said that
it had paid for all Of the curbing on
North Church street and it ought to
be willing to pay half at other places.
The motion was defeated and Mr..
Glenn then stated that he had put it
only as a test motion and had meant
to vote aaginst it himself, but had not
found this necessary. Mr. Booth
stated that the curbings which had
been authorized on Harvin street had
not yet been put in.
Mr.. Hogan was granted permission
to build buggy shed back Of his
meat market, he having testified to
the fact that 1t would not increase the
fire risk.
Mr.. Bradham had already built
stable back OF his shop. He want
ed permission to build buggy shed
at the same place. This request was
granted, If there would be no in
crease OF fire risk.
The matter Of issuing the $500

money was paid for the work by the
city. Mr.. Glenn wanted to know ii
the specifications called for the tamp-
ing Of the crushed stone which was
laid in the foundation. Mr.. Lee said
that the specifications did call for the
tamping of this crushed rock. Mr..
ed the work for 81 least two hours that
day and that no tamping had been
done. 1t was then decided that
competent man should at once he en-
ployed to watch the work that was
going on To see that it was done ac-
cording to specifications. Mr.. Lee
stated that he did not have time to
visit the work more than two or
three times day as he was kept out
at the place where the sewer pipe was
being laid most of the time.
Mr.. Wright asked if Mr.. Lee thought
that the sand now being used by
the contractors in their work on
Church street was good sand. Mr..
Lee stated that it was in his opinion
very poor sand for the work, but
that it was impossible to get any other
sand. He said that the sand that
they had been using had come from
various sources, several of which had
been exhausted. He said that the
supply which the city had been get
ting from Carters Crossing could not
be secured now as the man from
whom the city had been getting it
was dead and the land had passed in
to other hands and was now under
litigation and no sand could be Sc
cured from it.
1t was then brought up by Alder
man Booth that no contract had ever
been signed by the city for the work
on Church street. He said that he
did not see how the contractors who
were doing the work could be held
accountable If there was no contract
with them. Mr.. Lee stated that he
had drawn up the contract and that
1t had been approved by the city at
torney. He said that he had under
stood that 1t had been approved by
Council and he had allowed the con-
tractor to go on with the work The
Mayor then stated that the city, while
1t would not try to avoid it's just debts,
could not be loser when there was no
contract and that If the persons do
ing the work knew and followed out
the specifications that he did not
think that there would be any trou-

STATE CONVENTION
OF MODERN WOODMEN

J.W. Simmons, deputy head consul of
the order of Modern Woodmen for the
state of Oregon, was here Tuesday
making arrangements for the state
convention which will be held here
May and 3.
Delegates to the convention will be
present from all parts of the state and
the local Woodmen are planning elab-
orately for their entertainment during
their two days stay. An automobile
ride through the Valley has been
planned. A banquet will be given on
the last night of the convention. A
free baseball game will take place on
Wednesday afternoon, May 3. An
endeavor will be made to get the
merchants of the city to close their
stores on the afternoon in order that
all may enjoy the game. A large class
will be initiated during the convention.
Mr.. Simmons, accompanied by a num-
ber of local members of the order left

EXPERTS WAGE WAR
ON FRUIT PESTS

Prof. W. II. Lawrence, the expert of
the Fellowship association, has been
busily engaged for the past month
inspecting the orchards of the Valley.
He stated last Saturday that he and
G. R. Castner, county fruit inspector,
had covered approximately 1900 acres
in their search for diseases.
A dispatch to the Portland Journal
last week states that general siege
against fIuit pests of every description
in this state is now being arranged by
the experts of the Oregon Agricu
College. Within the next week or two
six men will be employed to go to var
ious sections of the state and take up
this work.
This general fight against the pests
of fruit crops was authorized by the
last legislature at the instigation OF
the fruit growers of the state. 1t will
be carried on entirely under the direc.

PYTHIANS BECOME
KNIGHTS OF KHORASSAN

The streets of Hood River presented
festive appearance until a late hour
Saturday night because of the cere-
monies accompanying the initiation of
a large class of Pythians, composed of
28 local men and two from The Dalles,
into the degree of the Knight of Khor-
assam. The work of initiation was con-
Quoted by members of the social degree
of the order from Portland. Early IN
the evening those seeking admission
into the mysteries of the "Dokkees'
were escorted through the principal
streets garbed in fantastic costume.
After the initiatOry work was over
the score or more of Portland visitors
and a large delegation from The
Dalles met with the local lodge at &

PROSPECTIVE CHAMPION
HOOD RIVERITES

Although the weather had tenden-
cy to be showery Sunday afternon
Hood River fans were out in force to
see the local team trim the aggrega-
tiOn from Stevenson by a score of to
4. The Hood River boys did their best
playing toward the latter part of the
game. But at no. time were they out
classed by the visitors, who however,
seemed to have Dame Fortune" with
them until the. game was half over. j.
Nissen, the Stevenson third base man
has the distinction of being the second
man to knock ball over the fence in
the rear of the outfield. He was 50
lucky as to pull this stunt off with two
men on bases and thus scored three
runs at once. Hood Rivers supporters
were rather loW-spirlted, with the
score standing to in favor of the
Skamania county boys, until Myers
seemed to get second breath or re-
newal of pep. " The batters were
famed out by him in quick order. At
the same time the visiting pitcher be-
gan to lose control and was easily
found. Thesoutfield Of the locals play
ed up better than the infeld, never
letting anything escape. The most
sensational play of the game was made
when Tom Waldie attempted to catch a
pop up. The ball bounced from his
hands and the bleacherites groaned, but
Pitcher Myers saved the day by mailing
it before it touched the earth.
Hood Rivers lineup was: Large, C ;

beaten a to 3. The percentage of the
league now stands:

tion of the departments of plant path

the institution.
Headquarters will be established in
various fruit sections of the state. 1t
has already been decided to establish
one at Salem, and others will probably
be located at Roseburg, Portland,
Eugene and possibly Milton. The
work, however, will all be directed
from the college.
The details have not been determined
upon, but are now being carefully
worked out. The plans will probably
be completed within the next week or
two. Professors Cordley, Lewis and
Jackson, who have general charge of
the work, are confident that it will
result in saving many thousands of
dollars to the fruitgrowers.
