was heard on the Pacific coast. Its

democratic form of government was
the center of interest last night In the
Greek coffee-houses, where Greeks,
Montenegrins and Servians congregate
in large numbers to talk over the ef-

spiracy, and at the end of his term
banished him from the country.

ROMAN GRAVEYARD
FOUND IN BRITAIN

Chester. England.-The extension
of the infirmary at Chester has led
to the discovery OF the graveyard used
by the Twentieth Legion of the Ro-
mans during their occupation of that
city.
The Chester Infirmary occupies a
site which Is locally referred to as
the plague Field" The site seems
to have acquired .its -unsavory name
from. the fact that casual discoveries
of human remains in the infirmary
field in years gone by had led to the
supposition that they were the victims
of the great plague.
The recent unearthing of remains
in larger numbers on the site of the
extension Of the infirmary led to an
investigation by Prof, Robert New
stead. who now reports that the evil
dence proves conclusively' that the
infirmary field was not used as a
burying ground during the outbreak
of the plague. and that all the burials
! which have been SO far unearthed be-
| long to the Roman period.
The Roman origin of the graves Is
| borne out by the fact that bronze
coins of the Emperors Antoninus PluS
and Commodus have been found II
them. Such coins were placed usu
ally in the mouth of the deceased
and are generally referred to a
"Charons passage fare" to expedite
the passage of the souls across tn
Styx as it was believed that the per
son who had not received the usua
rites of burial and in whose mouti
no fee for the ferryman of the Styglai
lake had been placed, would wande
hopelessly on. it's banks while de
cent intermeat and small coin woul
obviate any disagreeable inquire
that Charon might. else be incline
to make. '.... ....
In removing the clay which forme
the floor Of one of the graves ther
was found a stone implement belong
ing to the neoiithic period.
Prof. Newstead regards this discoV
cry as exceedingly interesting. as al
fording further evidence that Ches
ter was in all probability prior to tn
Roman occupation Inhabited by earl

clans will tell you that nearly every
child Is so troubled at some time and,
in fact many adults suffer In the same

MISS NAOMI CORY DECIDES
SHE WILL GO TO ETANCE

San Francisco.-Miss Naomi Cory,
a pretty graduate of the Pasadena
high school, whose family is promi-
nent in sociay circles of southern Cal
ifornsa, sailed for the orient on the
Pacific Mail liner Persia, en- route to
Manila, to become the bride of Ell
wood Jones. a young merchant.
The wedding. which will occur
when Miss Cory arrives in the far
east is the outcome of a youthful ro-
nance. which commenced several
years ago when they were pupils in
the high school in Pasadena.
1t was not considered a serious af-
fair at that time, and when Jones de-
parted for Manila and became as
sociated in the wholesale hardware
business with his uncle, it was gem
orally supposed that the budding ro-
nance would be soon forgotten.
Jones was kept busily engaged in
building up the firms business until
two years ago when he returned nome
for short visit and again met his
former schOolmate.

FIVE CANDIDATES
NOT ON BALLOT

A certificate of the arrangement
on the official ballot for the Novem-
ber election has been received at the
office of the local county clerk and
1t shows that the names of Robert
Service, progressive, Il. T.. Mahaffey,
Independent, and Louis j. Gates, pro-
hibitionist, candidates for railroad
commissioner in the second district
are missing because Secretary of state
Olcott interprets section 3340 of
Lords oregon law to instruct all cam
didates for all offices, except congress
sional offices, who were not nominat-
ed in the direct primary election to
file their certificates of nomination
direct with the county clerks in the
district in which they are candidates.
AS Clyde B. Aitchison, republican
candidate, and Lew Anderson, demo-
cratic, for railroad commissioner in
the second district, were the only
candidates nominated for this office
in the primaries their names were in
cluded in those certified to the coun-
ty clerks by the secretary of state.
None of the other candidates for this
office were nominated at the primary
election.
This question has come up to the
secretary Of state several times, and
the law has been pointed out to can
didates and party leaders, Section
3340 says:
"All certificates of nomination OF
candidates for offices to be filed by
the electors of an electoral district
| (other than congressional district)
or county. or precinct, shall be filed
with the county clerk of the county
and if such electoral district embraces
more than one county, then dupli
cate thereof shall be filed with the
county clerk of each county within
! such electoral district"
While the second railroad distric
comprises the territory formerly in
Guided in the second oregon congres
sional district, Secretary of State Ol
colt interprets the district, in connec
ton with this office, to be railroa,
commissioner district and therefor
coming under the provisions of tn
above section of law.
