CANDIDATES. CANNOT ACT.
Central Committee Must Do All,
Under Minnesota Ruling.

st. Paul.-Candidates for office,
under the Minnesota corrupt prac-
tees law, just passed, cannot even
dictate political letters to their stem
ographers unless they first make ar
rangements for campaign commit
tees according to ruling made here
by Attorney General Smith, in re-
sponse to an inquiry from James A,
Hall, county attorney at Marshall
This construction of the new act
seems absurd. the attorney general
admitted, but is justifiable by it's
text.
In answering Halls query the at
torney general points out there is no
provision in the new law permitting
candidate to buy stationery, en-
ploy clerks, pay for headquarters,
pay for Autographs or for the writ
ing, addressing and mailing of cam
paign literature. On the other hand
campaign committees are authorized
to do all these things.

NEW SPEED RECORD.
New York Girl Writes 115 Words D
Minute ON Typewriter.

Spokane, Wash.-The world S
typewriter speed record for one
hours continuous writing on unfa-
miliar copy was broken Thursday by
Miss Florence f. Wilson of New
York, in the national contests held
under the auspices of the National
Commercial Teachers Federation.
Miss Wilson copied 1919 words in
the hour, with 6S errors. Deducting
five words for each error, this gave
her net score of 6,879, or an aver
age of 115 words a minute. The for
mer record. held by H. o. Blaisdell
of New York. was 112 words min
ute.
The amateur championship for op-
orators who have operated a type
writer less than three years was won
by Miss Bessie Friedman of New
York, who wrote 3,2O8 words in 80
minutes, or an average of 1O7 words.
This broke the former record held
by Gus Trefzger of New York, of So
words.

San Quentin, Cal.-After a week
OF solitary confinement, j. B. Nc
Namara, one of the dynamiters of
the Los Angeles Times building,
stubbornly refuses to express any in
tention to conform to the prison dis
cipline. Warden Hoyle says he will

MYSTERY IN BOISE.
Diamond Robbery in Daylight Baf-
fles Detectives.

Boise, Idaho.-Completely baffled
over the cleVerest diamond robbery
involving $1,000 worth of jewels,
the police of this city are searching
Tor clew to the man who entered
the jewelry store of j. T. Laughlin
and slipped a wallet containing the
unset diamonds into his pocket.
Scores of private detectives, besides
all of the plain-clothes men of the
police force. have been baffled.
For the purpose of making sure of
his ground, the robber entered the
store on the night before the robbery
and inquired about a watch charm,
talked about it for a while with the
clerk and then went out. Saturday
he again entered the store, this time
between 5 and 6 o'clock in the even
ing, when hundreds of people were
passing the place. Going up to the
clerk, he inquired about the charm
and asked him to look through the
catalogues. When the clerk retired
TO the rear of the store to do so the
robber leisurely followed him. The
big safe, located near where the clerk
inspected the catalogues, was open at
the time. While the clerk was busy,
the robber quickly drew out the wal
let and, after talking with the clerk,
who had been unable to find the kind
OF charm the stranger wanted,
walked out of the store and disap-
peared. That was the last seen of
him.
There were 25 diamonds in the
NAllpt and no
mOnds were large, and a choice Sc
lection. The store is insured by the
jewelers. Protective Association,
which has placed its most skilled de-
tectives on the case.

HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
PendletOn Man Mixed Up in Run
away-HOrses Killed.

Pendleton, Ore.-One of the most
frightful accidents recorded in the
county occurred last Thursday,
when a team of mules driven by
Henry Doan, a rancher on Little Nc
Kay creek, became unmanageable
and ran away in the field where
James Doan was operating a mower.
AS the mules struck the mower the
machine was overturned and the
team of horses drawing it started off
at a mad gait. DOan was thrown
from his seat and dragged for a con-
siderable distance, one wheel of the
mower passing over his body. Hav-
ing freed themselves from the now
er and driver, the excited team
dashed on until deep open well was
encountered and both animals
plunged into the same.
Before aid could reach them the
horses were dead. The injured man.
James Doan, was rushed by automo-
bile to the hospital, where it was
found his hip was broken, and only
by skilled surgical aid were two fin
gers on his left hand saved. A long
scalp wound was also sustained. as
well as severe body bruises and cuts.
Witnesses to the accident marvel
that Doan was not killed outright
when the wheel of the mower passed
over him. That he escaped without
being cut to pieces by the mower is
considered marvellous. Physicians
say he will recover

GAMBLER CONFESSES.
RumOr Causes CONSERVATION in New
York Police Circles.

New Consideration reigned
at police headquarters at the spread
of an unconfirmed report that gam
bier had made full confession of the
gambling situation in New York to
District Attorney Whitman. The
gambler, whose name was not re-
vealed, was said to have been given
immunity from prosecution in return
for his confession.
Whitman made another demand
that the police clear up the circunf-
stances surrounding the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, who was shot
shortly after he accused the police
of protecting the gambling interests.
Jack Rose, William Shapiro and
Louis Libby, the three men suspected
of completely in the crime, remained
in the Tombs prison. Shapiro and
Libby are anxious to tell all they
know in order to secure immunity,
but District Attorney Whitman has
refused to grant this.

LAID BEFORE SENATE.
Formal Action Taken in Impeach-
ment of Archibald.

Washington, D. C.-The impeach-
ment of Judge Robert w. Archibald,
of the commerce court, was formally
laid before the senate last week by
the committee managers of the
house, headed by Representative
Henry d. Clayton, chairman of the
judiciary committee.
Clayton read the resolution under
which the house directed the commit
tee to present the impeachment to
the senate, but before he concluded,
and before he could begin upon the
articles of Impeachment, senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, pointed out
that the rules provided for a proc
lamation by the senate sergeant-at-
arms.
The house managers then retired
and Colonel Daniel Ransdell, SER
geant-at-arms, made the formal proc
lamation. Clayton then read the
long document of impeachment.

SUFFRAGE sure TO WIN
So Say Eastern Supporters of the
Observation-Disclosures Are Con-
fident.

Portland. Ore.-After an investi-
gation of equal suffrage conditions
in Oregon, Miss Mary Wood and Miss
Helen Varick Boswell of New York
say they believe the women of Ore
gon will be granted the ballot after
the election in November.
The cause of suffrage in New
York has been advanced more by
proper organization than in any 9TH
er way" said Miss Wood. The suf-
Tagists have a captain to direct the
work and a place of meeting The
members attend the public meetings,
find out the sentiments of candidates,
and make a house-to-house canvass
by which they are enabled to judge
OF the strength of the suffrage move
ment. These methods should be pur-
sued here. The precinct workers,
but recently organized under Mrs A..
G. Newill, have set about their work
on the right lines and they will ac-
complish wonderful amount of
good.
All indications point to a success
ful issue at the polls. have spoken
TO many men on the subject since my
arrival in Oregon, and one prominent
business man told me that he had
no doubt but that equal suffrage
would pass. City and rural condi-
tions are favorable. l think that the
fact that Oregon is surrounded by
suffrage states will have a good in
fluence with the voters.
Il have met some of the so-called
anti-suffragists, and not one seemed
as if she had real convictions against
the movement, but rather was op-
posed because of jury service and
other duties to which she might be
liable. AS pointed out to these
women, very few voters now serve
on juries or want to do so, yet they
would be indignant if their privilege
were taken away from them for that
reason"

ADMIRAL AND CITY IN TILT.
Charleston Gate of Navy Ward Is
Closed and Trade Is Diverted.

Puget Sound Navy Yard. rd.-Order-
ing the close of the Charleston gate
of the navy ward to all sailors and
marines, thus practically cutting the
town of Charleston off from all trade
from the yard, Rear Admiral V. l..
Cottman has made an emphatic pro-
test against the refusal of Charles
ton city council to revoke the license
of the fourth saloon in the town.
Charleston formerly had four sa-
looms, but one of the licenses was
revoked last year because the place
was improperly conducted. This left
but three bars, and the city authori-
ties so reported to Admiral Cottman
at the beginning of this year.
Since that time the new marine
barracks have been completed and
occupied at the Charleston end of the
yard. Recently George w. Dane, a
rancher and former saloon man, ap-
piled for the fourth license and, hav-
ing no record against him, was
granted it.
The Charleston city council con-
tends that inasmuch as there were
four saloons operating last year, the
new license to Dane cannot be con-
sidered as an extra saloon.
Meanwhile there is considerable
feeling on both sides of the contro-
versy.

FROG LIVES IN STOMACH.
Egg Swallowed in, Drinking Water
just Before Hatching.

Washington.-Af frog that crawled
and clawed and croaked lived for
nearly year in the stomach of Mrs.
l.. V. King of Deanwood.
After clawing away at the lining
of the woman's stomach until it was
raw. almost strangling her as il
climbed into her throat, and reducing
her to living skeleton, it was final
ly extracted by physicians of the
emergency hospital by large pump.
The frog is preserved in alcohol.
1t is a weak. colorless, wrinkled,
shapeless specimen which bears a
faint resemblance to the normal frog.
It's legs are long and scrawny and
thin as toothpicks. 1t measures
about seven inches.
Just as it was breaking out of the
egg, the tadpole was swallowed by
Mrs. King in we'll water last August.
Weeks passed before the woman real
lied there was some living animal in
her stomach. She consulted doctors,
but they laughed.
Last spring the frog, then reach
ing its full growth, began to climb
into her throat and nearly suffocated
her. 1t clawed away at the mem
brane until she tainted with pain.
Still the doctors, when told of her
fears, laughed.
Two months ago. Mrs. King de-
clares, the frog began to croak. She
distinctly heard it, and her relatives
bear her out. This determined her
to leave the physicians of Deanyood
alone and consult city doctors"
She did so. She went to the emer-
gency hospital and the frog was
pumped out. The frog lived for ten
minutes in tub of water. 1t
croaked just like any regular frog.
Then it died
According to physicians, this is the
first time on record that any animal
as large as frog has lived in a hui
man stomach as much as eleven
months.

Oakland, Cal.-Six women, one of
them Mrs. H. o. Brink, the wife of
a prominent Berkeley physician,
were arrested recently in a raid by
the police on a poolroom in a down
town office building. Mrs. Brink to-
gether with Mrs. Duncan, keeper of
the place, and j. Sutherland, her as
sociate, were booked at the city pris-
on on charges of felony, the specific
accusation being that they had been
selling pools on the Salt Lake races.
Three men were taken into Gus
tody as visitors of the place. All,
with the exception of the physician S

BANDON WORK NEARLY DONE.
Projects at Siuslaw and Coos Bay
Said to BE Progressing.

AS soon as shoal is removed near
Bandon, on which the depth has de-
creased from one to two feet, the
improvement project under way at
that harbor will be finished, and it
is thought that the labor will be
brought to a close during the pres
ent month. A dredge employed there
is doing maintenance work and it
will be ordered out of commission at
the same time.
Information from the Siluslaw
district is that Johnson, Anderson
& Company are making headway.
From Coos Bay comes word that the
1S-foot channel project to Marshfield
will be completed early in Septem-
ber but that does not mean that
work on the bar will be suspended,
as the new dredge, Colonel Niche,
is being constructed at Seattle for
that purpose. There also will be
maintenance continued inside the
bar.

MOVING SIDEWALK.
New York Will Start Construction of
Novel Device.

New York.-A new form of tran
sit, not attempted hitherto in any
part of the world, is to be introduced
in New York as soon as the actual
work of construction can be complet-
ed. This was made certain by the
action of the public service commits
sion last week authorizing the build
ing of an underground moving side
walk to extend across Manhattan
underneath Thirty-fourth street,
which has become so congested at
the important crossings as to make
the progress of pedestrians difficult
and at certain hours of the day al
most impossible.
The new system, which is to have
its first practical use here, consists
of series of continuous platforms
placed side by side but moving at
different rates of speed, which are
so graduated that passengers can
pass from one platform to another
without inconvenience. Seats will
be provided for those who wish to
use them, but it is expected that the
new transportation line will be used
very largely by persons who are go
ing only block or two and who will
prefer to stand. 1t is claimed that
for short distances this is the most
rapid system of transportation posi-
BILE to devise, as the vehicle itself
never stops, while passengers may
get on or alight at any point. 1t is
said that the new road will easily
be able to handle a million DaSsen-
gers a day.
