With him lives an uncle, Mendel Quixano, an aunt, Frau Quixano-typifying the orthodox in reIgion-and Kathleen O'Reil1y, a housemaid. In settlement work David meets Vera Rovendal, daughter of Russian nobility, with whom, over coming his religious and social pre- judices, he loves and eventually mar rfes though her hand is also sought by Quincy Davenport, Jr., a wealthy American millionaire, and friend of Baron and Baroness Revenda1. Suc- cess as a composer is assured through Herr Papplemeister. an orchestra conductor who brings the talented young musicians work before the public.
 The denouement. based upon the title of the play, demonstrates the power of love and toleration to fuse into one homogeneous mass the varying races, religions and ideals represented in America today.

Many American followers of the box ing game were surprised when Freddy Welsh came back and regained the lightweight championship of Great Britain from Matt Wells this month but Abe Atteu was not one of them. It was four years ago Nov. 25. 1908 that the great little Hebrew boxer faced the Welshman in Los Angeles outpointed at the end of fifteen round engagement. Able in his prime was about the cleverest man that ever put on a glove, and when he said that Freddie Welsh was the best man he had ever faced 1t was praise from the highest possible source. h g. con- test between Welsh and Wolgast for the worlds lightweight crown, there would be a lot of wise money on the BritisIler After that battle in the City Of Angels four years ago last night Abe Atteu was divided between chagrfn over his own defeat and ad- had the advantage in weight, Abe could afford to be magnanimous, and he asserted that the Welshman was far better than either Nelson, Moran fought.

Action Of House Nullifsd and
Taft Is Pleased.


E
Washington, D. C.-For the third
time the house passed . legislative,

veto Of President Taft By . vote Of

to pass it failed. 81 to q. As : re-
suit, the house amended the measure
to provide continuing appropriation
Tor the Commerce court until March
4, 1918, passed il and sent 1t to the
senate appropriation committee with
good prospects that it will pass the
senate.
The solution Of the deadlock be-
tween congress and the whole White
House 10 believed to have been found
and as result adjournment now
looms appreciably nearer.
When it was found that the chief
executive had been overruled BY the
house by 3-to-1 vote. there was .
tumult Of applause. But when 1t was
put through after the failure of the
senate to follow the house lead, there
were less than 80 members in their
seats, there was no debate and scarce
ly an audible vote.
Mr.. Taft expressed his delight at
the failure of the Democratic plan.
No intimation was given at the White
House as to whether the new compro-
mise would be acceptable to the presi-
dent, but senate and house leaders are
confident the measure will be signed.

Army Yields to Old Age.
London - General William Booth,
commander-in-chief Of the Salvation
Army, is dead at his home in this city.
He was born in Nottingham in 1929,
being 83 years old at the time Of his
death.
The veteran Salvation Army leader
was unconscious for 48 hours before
he died. The medical bulletins had
not revealed the seriousness of the
generals condition, which for q week,
it is now admitted, was hopeless.
Twelve weeks ago General Booth I'M
derwent an operation for the removal
Of cataract in his left eye. For two
days after the operation indications
gave hope Of his recovery. Then sep
tic poisoning set in, and from that
time, with the exception Of occasional
rallies, the patients health steady de-
clined.
The general recognized that the end
was near and often spoke of his work
as being finished.
Throughout the commander in
chiefs illness his son, Bramwell Booth,
chief of staff Of the army. and Mrs.
Bramwell Booth, gave their unremit-
ting attentions to him.
The evangelist died in his residence,
the Rockstone Hadley Wood, eight
miles from London, where he had been
confined to his bed since the operation.

Washington, D. c. = One Of the

who died on the steamship Titanic
that the women and children might be

The offer Of this interesting contri-

the women of La Paz and was made

MEDFoRo PEARS $3.50 BOX.
Sale Of Fruit at High Prices Means
Prosperous Season.

Prosperous season.
Medford, Or. - With six cars of
Bartlett pears sold, averaging $1.70 q
box +. o. b. Medford, and another car
sold in New York averaging $3.50 t.
o. b. New York, the ranchers Of the
Rogue River believe they are entering
upon the most prosperous year in their
history. In 1911 $3.50 was the maxi
mum, and many cars sold as low as
81, while there were practically no
apples in the valley.
This year the pear crop is three
times as large as last year, the pears
are unusually uniform and large-sized,
and it is predicted that now the Cali
fornia crop is practically disposed Of
the Southern Oregon fruit will enter q
constantly rising market. The entire
output will approximate $50 cars.
The apple crop is record-breaker.
The trees are SO heavily loaded that
scaffolding has to be used throughout
the orchards to prevent the limbs from
breaking. Where there were less than
100 cars shipped out in 1911 there will
be between 500 and 600 in 1912, and
the size and color Of the fruit will be
the finest in the history Of the valley.
