RESISTS VACCINATION.
Gunners Mate Says Religion Forbids
Compliance With Orders.

Washington, d. C.-Taught by his
creed that it would be wrong for him
to submit to vaccination as a protec-
tion against typhoid fever, John j.
Kapsa, Christian Scientist and one
time gunner's mate on the battleship
Delaware, lived up to it, and as a
result of disobeying naval orders was
court martialed, reduced to the rank
of seaman without pay and today is
serving sentence of one year at
hard labor at the disciplinary bar
racks at Port Royal, S. C.
senator John D. Works of Califor-
mia, who also is Christian Scientist,
is aroused over Kapsa's case and in
tends to bring the facts before the
navy department in person.
The vaccination order was issued
December l, 1911. Kapsa baked,
explaining that his religion forbade
such treatment; that his record
proved he never was i'll, and that
he did not need the treatment.
When Kapsa persisted in his refusal
he was put in the brig and his court
martial and sentence followed.

SNOW BATTLES PARKER.
Attempt to Ascend Mount Mckinley
to Top Fails.

Fairbanks, Alaska-Prof Her
schel Parker of Columbia University
and Belmore Browne of Tacoma ar
rived at Tolovana, on the Tanana
river last week, and reported that
they failed to reach the summit of
Mount Mckinley. Two attempts
were made, one on the north and the
other on the south peak. An alti-
tude of 10000 feet was reached on
the south peak and 10000 on the
north peak.
Mount Mckinley terminates in
twin peaks each approximately 2O,-
500 feet high. Several blizzards
about the summit prevented the seal
ing of the peaks. More than a
month was passed on the mountain.
All the members of the party are in
good health. Professor Parker said
a severe earthquake was felt while
the party was on the mountain.
Professor Parker and Mr.. Browne
will return to Seattle Wit st. Michael.
They have many excellent photo
graphs taken, while the expedition
was on the mountain.

THE CHAMPION is DEAD.
Great Egg Producer Passes Away at
Corvallis.

The poultry yards of the Oregon
Agricultural College have lost their
champion egg producer Miss Cor
Wallis, hen with a record of 80 y
pounds of eggs year, has died. The
post mortem examination showed a
ruptured oviduct through which a
quantity of egg yolk had escaped
into the body cavity, and the growth
of the membrane which attempted TO
enclose the tumor thus formed
caused a fatal structure of the intes-
tine.
Miss Corvallis, registered No
A-122, was Barred Plymouth Rock
from an incubator hatch of Febru-
airy, 1910. All of the, chicks of that
brood were hatched from eggs of
trap-nested fowls bred for high egg
production. She laid her first egg
November IL, 1910, and in the next
19 days of the month furnished 10
more eggs to the college egg basket.
In December she laid % eggs, in
January %, in February 19, and in
March 26. In April she laid 23 eggs,
and was broody two days. Then she
laid continually to the middle of
June, when for six days she insisted
on sitting. She had but two more
broody seasons-in July and August
and otherwise continued laying.
Her banner month was October,
when in 80 days she laid 27 eggs.
At the close of her first year she
had a record of 259 eggs, weighing
321s pounds and worth at market
prices $6.40. Though not the high
est egg production on record, it
shows what can be done by careful
breeding. She was developed after
four years of selection from a show
stock pen of hens having an annual
production of 10 eggs each. OF the
mems bred from this stock, 25 per
cent laid more than 200 eggs apiece
last year, individual records running
from 259 down to six

BARGAIN SALE MACHINERY.
Uncle Sam Must Dispose of $15, ,OOO,.
600 Worth.

The largest bargain sale of ma
chinery in history is promised upon
the completion of the Panama canal.
To dispose of machinery costing
more than 100000 is the prob
lem confronting government author
tiles wnen the canal is opened.
Although understood in a genera
way, ColoneI Goethals, superinten-
dent of the canal work, reports act
ual figures of machinery bought
since the United States began dig
ging the big ditch" Here are a
few of the principal items
Steam shovels, 1902; cars, 4,1S1;
locomotives, 1S9; rock drills, 1875;
cranes, 79; dredges, IA; barges, 44
Many of the locomotives and cars
will be useful in operating the cana
and the Panama railroad, but most
of the dredges, steam shovels anC
mountains of other steel implement!
will be put on the block for sale.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher
has suggested the plan of transfer
ring much of the discarded machin.
cry to Alaska for use in constructing
a government railroad to the interior
of that territory. If congress does
not authorize the federal railway in
Alaska, however, most of the Pan.
anna machinery will be sold for the
best price it will bring.
Colonel Goethals emphatically de.
clares, however, that the French
plan of leaving discarded machinery
to rot and rust will not be adopted
by this country. Uncle Sam is toe
thrifty. Old, corroded, discarded
machinery once used by the French
in their attempt to dig the canal
were monuments of their failure
lining the canal route until the
Americans took charge. Some OF
the old French material was used
but most dumped into the jungle far
away from the excavations.

UNIVERSITY DEFEATED.
Supreme Court Renders Decision
Reversing Former One.

Salem, Ore.-After weighing all
the evidence adduced in behalf of the
University of Oregon in a suit
brought by it against Secretary of
State Olcott to restrain him from
placing on the ballot title two bills
making appropriations for the insti-
tuition, on the ground that the petit
tions asking that they be referred to
the people are fraudulent, the su-
preme court Tuesday reversed the
decision of Judge Galloway of the
circuit court, which was in favor of
tie institution, and dismissed the
case, and the bills go on the ballot.
This was the second time the case
was up before the supreme court for
adjudication. The court in its for
mer decision reversed Judge Gallo
way on the ground that injunction
proceedings to restrain a public Of
ficer could not be brought by a pri-
vate citizen. The university to COM
ply with this decision brought the
suit second time in the name of
District Attorney j. H. McNary of
this county, and while holding that
its procedure in this respect is legal,
the court rules against the other con-
tentions raised by the university
lawyers.
The main point upon which the
university hoped to win its case was
that of fraud, it being contended
that there was a sufficient number
of names on the petitions to invali-
date them. The supreme court holds
that there are sufficient good names,
after the forged and fictitious names
are eliminated, to refer the bills. 1t
further holds against the contention
of the university to the effect that
the fact that a number of names
were fraudulent, the rest of the pc
titions would be contaminated and
invalid.
The university's attorneys also
raised a contention that each sheet
must have the title of the law sought
to be referred printed on it, but the
court holds against this view. II
also ruled against the contention
that it was not within the jurisdic-
tiOn of the court to go beyond the
petitions filed, and inquire into the
fact whether the signatures are
forged or otherwise illegal.
The opinion is written by Justice
Mcbride and concurred in by all
members save Justice Eakin, who
presents a dissenting opinion. Judge
Eakln holds that each sheet contain
ing blanks for signatures, in his
opinion, must contain the title of the
law.

ANTI-FOREIGN FEELING,
Chinese Warned Not to Ally Them
selves With Movement.

Cheng Tu.-Alarmed by the
spread of anti-foreign feeling in
western China, President Lo Luen
of the Ko-Lao-Huci, a political Sc
cret society whose power through
out the country rivals that of the
government itself, has issued warn
ing to the members of the organiza-
ton to ally themselves with no anti
foreign movement under the penalty
OF the severest discipline.
You must understand interna-
tional laws" the proclamation ex-
plains, under which nations permit
commerce, and preaching in one
country by subjects of another.
Many Chinese go abroad and estab-
nsh temples or engage in business in
foreign lands just as foreigners do
in China.
As republicans, too, you ought to
study freedom, one item of which is
religious liberty 1t would hardly
be fair for us to insist on the right
to be Confucians, Buddhists, Taoists,
or Mohammedans and to deny others
the right to believe in Christianity.
Even If Chinese missionaries in
China have sometimes been violent.
IT is because the men were bad-not
their religion. The monks of Yuan
dynasty and the Toast priests of the
time of Sung were guilty of treach-
cry, debauchery and violence, but
their religions were not stamped out.
Inscriptions and high-handed Con-
fueian priests in China prey on the
people insatiably, but no one speaks
against Confucianism.
In fact, there is good in every
thing and the innocent must not be
made to suffer for the black sheep. A"

WILL NOT HONOR VOUCHER.
Secretary Olcott Refuses to Draw On
Normal Appropriation.

Salem.-Raising the contention
that the failure of Attorney General
Crawford to appeal from the judg-
ment entered in the circuit court
here in favor of the Monmouth nor
NAL school, in a suit brought by it
to restrain the secretary of state
from placing on the ballot a bill
making the $4,000 appropriation
for the institution. had made the
Judgment final, the executive COM
mittee of the normal school board
asked Secretary Olcott to honor a
voucher presented against the appro-
priation. Upon the advice of the at
torney general the secretary declined
the request. 1t is probable that the
board will bring legal action to COM
pei the secretary to honor the vouch-
er.

LATEST VERDICT FOR
FLOERSCH SUSTAINED

The Supreme Court at Trenton
has affirmed the verdict of $500
given by a jury in Judge Lloyd's
court in the December term in this
county for Joseph Floersch In his
suit against William J. Donnell, of
Perth Amboy.
DonneIl is a lumber dealer, and
Floersch, in 1906, was employed by
him. A pile of lumber toppled over,
crushing Floersch's foot so that 1t
had to be amputated, The injured
man brought suit through Senator
George s.. Silzer and John a. Coan.
At the first trial a verdict Of $4,000
was returned.
On a rule to show cause the Su-
preme Court sent the case back for
re-trial. On the second trial a nom
suit was granted, in accordance with
the Supreme Court ruling. The de-
PENDANT carried the case to the Court
of Errors, which reversed the ruling
and granted a new trial.
The third trial resulted in a ver-
dict of $4,000. This. being appealed,
was reversed by the Supreme Court,
which declared the verdict to be
against the weight of the evidence,
and a fourth trial was ordered. The
fourth trial resulted in the $4,000
verdict, which is now upheld by the
Supreme Court, the same body which
twice set aside smaller verdicts. JUS
