Roosevelt Declare Allegiance
to the Administration.

Secretary of War Stimson, New York
man, and intimate friend Of Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, is to make several
speeches in support of the denomination
OF President Taft
No dates for the speeches have been
set, but Secretary Stimson has Informed
the President that he desires to be al
lowed to make his position clear as
early as his duties will permit The I'resi-
dent has consented to this, but agrees
with Mr.. Stimson that his work in Wash
ington at this time is SO important he
should not leave here.
Mr.. Stmson has his hands full looking
after appropriations for the army and In
caring for a number Of important leg
islative matters pending in Congress.
Until these things are disposed Of he
will remain on the job in Washington.
After that he will make his Taft speeches
at place and time to be selected.
Mr.. Stimson is placed in a most peculiar
and embarrassing position by the pres
ent situation. He has always been close
enough to the statesman Of Oyster Bay
to be called Harry" by the Colonel.
When Mr.. StimSon was the republican
candidate for Governor Of New York two
years ago the colonel said hundreds of
nice things about Harry and fought
for his election all over New York.

LEGACY TAX OF $500, 900
AFFIRMED BY THE COURT
British Government Collects Duty on
Estate of Consuelo, Duchess
of Manchester.

LONDON, February 12.-Legacy duty
amounting to $500. GOO must be paid on
the estate of the late Consuelo, Duchess
of Manchester, according to Judgment
delivered today in the chancery division
of the high court of justice.
The suit was brought in connection with
the fortune inherited from her brother
Fernando by the late Consuelo, Duchess
of Manchester, who was a daughter of
Antonio YZnaga de Vale of Louisiana
and Cuba. Fernando left 100000 to
the duchess. and. although the money
was never brought to England, the Brit
ish revenue authorities claimed legacy
duty. which demand was resisted by the
executors of the duchess will.
Court Sustains Crowns Attorney.
At the first hearing the attorney for
the crown argued that the British gov
eminent had the right to collect legacy
duty on personal property situated abroad
belonging to any one who died having
been domiciled In Great Britain The
court today uphe that view and gave
judgment to that effect.

Loeb's influence Conceded.

Persons who shared the confidence Of
the Roosevelt regime give Mr.. Loeb

Conference at Oyster Bay.

Mr.. Stimson went to Oyster Bay some
weeks ago and talked with the colonel.
He came back feeling that his obligations
were to President Taft. Since then he
has been pretty silent as to conditions
inside the republican party so far as the
fight for the nomination goes. He feels,
however, that he cannot longer remain
silent. and that it is proper for him to
let his friends and the country know
that he thinks Mr.. Taft should have an
other term in the White House.
Mr.. Stimson's predicament Is not unlike
that of number of other men who were
for years on most intimate terms with the
ex-President. Secretary Meyer of the
navy is on the same footing. He was
in the cabinet Of Mr.. Roosevelt for years,
played tennis with him and the families
of the two men were almost like one.
But the case of William Loeb. jr., is
the most interesting. He is the one man
in the country who shared the Utmost
secrets of Col. Roosevelt for seven years.
who knew everything he did, why he did
It, etc. AS secretary to President Roose-
Welt Mr.. Loeb kept close track Of every
thing. No ADLER secretary ever filled this
position at tho White House. He was
far more than q mere stenographer-he
was trusted adviser Of Mr.. Roosevelt,
and he had the courage, too. to advise
as he thought best, regardless of whether
it suited the colonel. In hundreds Of in
stances he is known to have bearded
the colonel in his den and gone right to
the mat with him over some action about
to be taken. Most of the time, too, he
came off victor.

DR.. Buckley Interposes.

July 9, 1909. Dr. Buckley exhibited
Early to a dozen reporters for New
York newspapers, and after the inspec-
ton to which the man was subjected
the reporters were all agreed that If
the man was suffering from any kind
Of a skin disease it would take a
microscope to discover 1t. At that
time, in answer to a question asked
him by reporter, Early said that
what he had suffered from was Moth
ing more than ash tree poison, which
causes an eruption which in many re-
spects resembles the eruption follow
ing contact with poison Ivy. He said
chat many other men in the paper mill
where he worked had suffered from the
same poison and that If he was a leper
so were many others in North Carolina.
AS a result Of DR.. Bulkley's efforts in
his behalf, Early was declared not to be
leper soon after he arrived in New
York and with his wife established a
modest home in Brooklyn. Everything
went well with him, so far as the lep-
rosy charge was concerned for while.

Guard Enforces Quarantine.

County officers have placed him under
quarantine and stationed guard to en-
force it. They will not drive him out,
but deal humanely with the only suspect
ed leper patient in the state. He receives
a pension Of $50 monthly from the govern
ment Early's brother has asked the
commissioners to be lenient The fed
eral government will be asked to aid by
restoring Early's pension to $75 a month.
The pension was reduced to $50 because
one of the many doctors who examined
him said he did not have leprosy. Later
the same doctor, on REORGANIZATION at
Los Angeles, reversed himself and de-
clared Early a leper.
The case of John S. Early, a North
Carolina paper mill worker, who In
1908 and 1909 was guaranteed by
health authorities of this city for more
than a year, Is one of the most famous
in recent medical history. His case at
tracted the attention of DR.. l.. Duncan
Buckley of the New York Skin and
Cancer Hospital. who interested him
self in behalf of the unfortunate man
and succeeded in having him conveyed
from Washington to New York and
placed in the Skin and Cancer Hospital
where DR.. Buckley, after examining
him, declared that there was no JUSTIN
cation for the charge that the man
was leper.

ST FFRAGlST LEADER OF
CALIFORNIA IN CITY

Mrs. VIM. Kent, wife of Congress
man Kent of California. who was in
the city Monday, was entertained by
local leaders in the equal suffrage
movement during her stay here and
spoke entertainlngly of the work in
the southern state.
Mrs. Kent is not only prominent in
California suffrage work, but was
chairman of the committee which ar
ranged for the great hearing this
year at Washington, d. c., when DR..
Shaw and other leading lights in the
struggle for political equality were
received by our great body of Amer
lean statesmen, and listened to with
a courtesy and intelligent interest
and consideration which at the time
was commented on as being in such
marked contrast with the treatment
accorded our English cousins by the
members Of parliament
To the question, What change,
if any did you see in the women Of
California when You returned after
years absence; were there any
practical results from their twelve
months of real citizenship?' she
said
Their right to vote appears to
have served as an incentive to study
conditions social conditions and so
cial needs, and they are devoting
themselves to t. In the choice of
university studies, sociology, the
science of society, leads all the 9TH
ers in popularity and they see a new
meaning in Pope's verse, The Study
of Mankind is Man. California wo-
men are proving their right to share
with man the task of solving hard
problems of equal justice and oppor-
tunity for all our people"
But, do they show their interest
in practical Ways" she was asked.
Well, chiefly in the question Of
conditions in community life, not
particularly in politics in the sense
in which the work is most common
ly used, and even those who thought
they were opposed to woman suf-
frage are quite as much absorbed in
trying to bring about better condi-
tions as the sunraglsts"
you feel then, Mrs. Kent, that
results are justifying the expendi-
ture of the tremendous aggregate Of
energy and thought which has gone
into the California campaign"
The influence Of woman, trained
in civic services, educated in the
peoples school of active politics
will surely take into the home a new
phase of education The sort OF poll
itics that our boys and girls will
learn from their mothers will go far
toward making a cleaner and more
just nation My earnest wish is that
the Oregon women may be permitted

MANY AT DEDICATION
A OF MURPHY GRANGE HALL.

The new Murphy Grange hall was
thrown open to the public for the
first time Friday night. when, in
spite of the inclement weather, a
large crowd, including more than
half a hundred, from Grants Pass,
was in attendance to enjoy what
proved to be one of the most en-
joyable occasions in the history Of
the valley. The dedication of the
magnificent dancing floor in the new
structure was the big feature Of the
evening, and the general verdict was
that the promise of the builders to
make the best floor In Southern
oregon was fulfilled Music was
furnished by a Grants Pass orches-
ira. At midnight a recess was TAX
en- for supper, which was served in
the lower part OF the hall, over 200
partaking of the hounteous repast
that was provided, the bill of fare
containing all of the good things
that the Applegate grangers produce
so we'll and their wives cook with so
much skin. The dancing hall, 4Ox
so feet in size, was tastefully dec
GRATED, and all present We're loud in
their praises of the hall in general
Every convenience for the entertain
ment of the guests was provided,
cordial hospitality being seen on
every hand The Grange expects to
make the hall the center of the so
cial life of the valley. and is ar
ranging for regular dances during
the winter.

CONGRESSMAN HAWLEY
IN GRANTS PASS

Congressman w. c. Hawley ar
rived in the city Saturday at noon,
and put in the day meeting his
friends here. He will leave for the
north today.
The big congressman says that it
has been his habit to make a trip
into each portion of his district at
least once year that he might keep
in full touch with development and
needs, and that in his present tour
he is attending more to business than
to keeping an eye on the political
situation, Nevertheless he speaks
most confidently Of the outlook for
his reelection and does not appear
to be losing any flesh worrying over
the outcome.
Mr.. Hawley was especially inter
ested in the chance of railroad con-
nection between Grants Pass and the
sea. and voiced the belief that an
era of great activity in development
WAS coming for the coast country.
The building of the Panama canal,
he believes, will have a wonderful
influence for lettering conditions,
and in adding profit to all lines of
industry. He is authority for the
statement that eastern numbering in
terests are now eXpending a million
dollars in preparing to put Oregon
coast timber on the market with the
opening of the canal, it being esti-
mated that freight by water to the
eastern markets will cost but three
tenths of the rate by rail, or a saving
OF seven dollars in every ten.
Another saving that Mr.. Hawley
sees for the Rogue River Valley is
in the shipping of the fruit to Euro
pean markets, and especially in the
shipping of barreled fruit. He noted
that in many of the orchards there
was some fruit that did not class as
choice, and that 1t was only the
choice that could stand the freight
rate across the continent. BY using
the barrel pack on this class Of fruit
it could be transported through the
canal and find profitable market
while the great bulk of our crop that
classes as choice would be benefited
in proportion. To make all of these
advantages available the coast road
is a necessity.
On the occasion of Mr.. Hawley's
visit here last season he mace a
trip out to the Blue Ledge mining
district, a result of his investigation
being that the controversy over the
issuance of the patents for the group
was at once settled, and the patents
came forward.
He announces that he is now Civ
ing a good deal of attention to the
harbors on the coast, and that the
government will be expected to make
expenditures there to prepare for the
shipping that will come with the
opening of the canal
Mr. Hawley held an informal re-
ception at the Hotel Josephine last
evening where he was greeted by

Collar spotting," the new automo

streets are dirty enough to hold pud

tired wheel of the machine strikes
such a puddle a thin but solid sheei
Of water is thrown upward and out
ward, the path it takes being deter
mined by the speed of the machine,
the depth of the liquid and, to a GER
tain extent, its consistency. These
three factors make the aiming Of the
sheet matter Of great skill. When
the puddle is close to the curb 1t Is
possible for the expert spotter, by
swerving into it, to throw the sheet
in such a way as to hit mans col
lar-even when it's narrow one
or the white feathers on woman's
hat. Not every one is as expert as
this, but the great fun Of the sport
lies in the fact that even when you
miss your aim you're pretty sure to
hit something if it's only skirts or
trousers Of pedestrians.
