II Is Sans first visit to Oregon
since he was six years Of age, when
he came with his father to get load
OF apples. There being no railroad,
It was long and tedious drive, but
he says he enjoyed It, and especially
the eating Of the good ripe and lus-
cious fruit At that time the only
orchards of consequence In the coun.
ty were those In Lewis and Nodaway
townships. Abraham Brown then
living on ~. ~. 81, now in Forbes
township. at that time had the larg-
est orchard and was the first to he
set out in the county and which lie
planted in 1871.
When Sam came there was no pub
lie park surrounding the court house
and It had been built only seven years
prior TO his coming here. and was
built by Henry Watson long since
deceased.

Continued from Page One.
at once to the capital and personally
present on behalf of the Secretary Of the
Navy a message of regret and condo
lence upon the destruction of the French
battle ship Liberte and the loss of life of
the seamen.
According to the officers Of the navy.
the Liberte is the most disastrous naval
accident in time of peace. From the press
dispatches received here it is believed
that a fire broke out on board, which
caused the explosion of the magazines be-
fore they could be flooded.
American naval officers express the be-
lief, however, that the primary cause of
the tragedy will be difficult to ascertain
bscause of the completeness of the
wreck and also because of the fact that
most of the eyewitnesses were killed.
1T is dreadful" said NJ. Lefevre Pom
tails, counselor and charge d'afaires of
the French Embassy. My country has
suffered many naval accidents in recent
years, though no more than other coun-
tries perhaps. 1t IS sad to think Of all
those fine sailors instantly killed. The
Liberte was one of the largest and best
vessels of our navy, and aside from
other considerations, its loss is serious
one"
Acting Secretary of State Huntington
Wilson also sent a message OF condo
lence.

New York, Sept. 25.-It required a dou-
happy consummation of the romance of
Paul Franklin Hay and Miss Esther
Deering Marshall, who met and fell in
love on the tennis courts of the Essex
County Country Club in East Orange, N.
j., for Thomas A. Nevins, uncle of Miss
Marshall, when he learned on Saturday
of their elopement and marriage by a
justice of the peace, sent them directly
to the Church of Our Lady of Christians,
in East Orange, where the second cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Father
Callaghan. Then came forgiveness and
congratulations.
Mrs. Hay is the daughter of Mrs. H.
B. Marshall, who lives in East Orange,

graphed her blessings.

having a host of friends among the
younger society set of this city. He at
tended st. Johns College in Vermont ave-
nue. and later took course at George
town University. His sister, Julia Hay.

they are to face United States Commits
sioner Gilchrist on the charge Of using
the mails to defraud.
The government agents still have two
more persons to arrest to complete their
case-William B. Reed, who is said to
have been a Flagg agent, and a nine
teen-year-old girl, Miss Madeline Russ,
OF White Plains, who held a confidential
position with Flagg and sat at the next
desk to his in the luxurious Offices.
There was more anxiety to get the girl
than to get Reed. She had promised to
turn government witness II spared arrest,
and to show up at the Federal Building
this morning to tell everything she knew
about the company. But in the words
Of the postal inspectors, she double
crossed them, and they couldn't find
her. Now If she is caught she Will be
arrested and held under heavy bail.
Investigation to-day revealed the fact
that dividend checks had been drawn
three weeks in advance, whereas in
vestors'' were led to believe that weekly
dividends were paid out OF the weeks

their account.
Jared Flagg was released from the
Tombs early in the afternoon, when his
brother Ernest, a noted architect, put
up S2JO,OO0 worth Of property to cover his
$500 bond.

RECIPROCITY VOTE
KILLS ARBITRATION
WITHGREATBRITAIN
General Treaty Loses Support
by Canada's Action.
HOSTILE SPIRIT TO THE o., s.
Revelation of Identical Nature on
Part of England VIII Have Adj
verse Effect on Senate, Poll
ticians DecIare-Hearst Predicts
Wrecking of the Pact.

Official Washington is inclined, on
opinions expressed yesterday, to admit
that the general arbitration treaty with
England has lost some of the friends it
had by reason of the fiouting of the
United States by Canada in the reci-
procity matter and the fact that the
home government, or at least some of
its important spokesman. are patting
Canada on the back.
This point was made in the interview
with William Randolph Hearst in the
London Evening Standard, which was
read in Washington yesterday, and
which is emphasized as a distinctly hos
tile spirit to the United States policy of
reciprocity for political reason. This
revelation of an identical spirit on the
part of Great Britain as well as Can
ada, politicians say, must have an ad-
verse effect on the Senate, which is to
take up the general arbitration treaty
as soon as Congress convenes.
There is moSe than a suggestion of
bad faith in the manner in which the
general arbitration treaty was fur
nished to the Senate. 1t had been
bruited by diplomatic officials in Wash
irgton that the objections of Senators
to the treaty, when 1t was in process
versations with the leaders of thought
in the Senate.
Has AutOcratic Quality.
In the interview whichfMr. Hearst gave
to the London Evening Standard he
prophesies that the general arbitration
treaty probably will be wrecked on the
rock OF the Joint high commission. 1t
can be stated now that the joint high
commission will be objected to most
strenuously at the next session because
of its essential autocratic quality, as well
as for the attitude which England is now
taking against the United States to pla-
cate her cocky little daughter in North
America.
II was pointed out to The Washington
Herald yesterday by an official of this
government that the joint high commits
sion usurps absolutely the powers of the
Senate, which the trainers of the treaty,
Ambassador Bryce, President Taft, and
Secretary of State Knox, intimated to
the Senate would not be assailed when
the text OF the treaty should be sent
to the Senate.
Mr.. Hearst has, therefore. put his
finger in London on the sorest spot and
has pointed out the line of cleavage for
the next Senate debate on the general
arbitration treaty. 1t is manifest from
the power given the joint high commits
sion that the most serious question for
the people of the United States and of
Great Britain could be considered by that
commission without the slightest refer
ence to the legislative branch of this
government.

HUSBAND is SHOT.
Mrs. Patterson Held Without Bail
at Denver.

Denver, seq 25.-Mrs. Gertrude G. Pat
terson is held in the city Jail, incom-
unicado, charged with numbering her
husband, Charles A. Patterson, formerly
broker of Chicago, here to-day by
shooting.
Patterson and his wife came to Den
yer seven months ago for the benefit of
his health. They rented a bungalow and
lived together up to three months ago,
when, owing to his constantly failing
health, Patterson became a patient at
the Phipps Institute. His wife had visit
ed him frequently at the hospital, and
went there at 10 o'clock to-day ostensi-
bly, to pay him a visit, although a suit
for divorce, brought by her September l,
in which she charges her husband with
extreme cruelty, is pending in the courts
here now.
Patterson left the sanatorium with his
wife, and they had walked but a short
distance when a quarrel arose between
them, which was followed by the firing
of four shots.

PROTEST AGAINST

MANY COMPLAINTS REGISTERED

| Insisting that the real estate assess
ments in the city are excessive and un-
| just, the North Capitol and lexington
Citizens Association, at its first fall
meeting last night in St. Martins Hall,
! criticised the District assessors
Bernard Waters introduced the sub
! ject, stating that the last assessment
on his property showed a considerable
| increase. He said that he submitted a
| formal complaint to the assessor, but
that no action was taken.
There are houses IN S street. between
North Capitol and First streets north
west" said Mr. Waters, ''on which the
| assessments have been raised between
$500 and $500. We have asked the chief
| assessor for an explanation, and he re-
| plies that the new assessments have to
be based on the cost of erecting such
building at the present day, and not on
the actual building price"
Increases Not Uniform.
DR.. Edgar D. Thompson, president Of
! the organization, contended that there is
no uniformity in the increases. w. J.
Frizzell also spoke in criticism.
In S street." said Mr.. Frizzell, where
have noticed heavy increased assess
ments, the figures on the land have been
lowered, while the assessments on the
buildings have been raised. If any change
in assessments should have been made,
the increase should have been made on
the land, and the decrease on the build
ngs."
