TWO PHYSICIANS IN
RACE FOR CORONER

Two well known local physicians,
DR. e. o. Parker, and DR. H. S. Gar
field, will in all probability oppose
each other for the republican nomi-
nation for county coroner at the April
primaries. The former announced
yesterday afternoon that he had about
concluded to place his name on the
ballot in response to the repeated
urging of friends and upon the re-
fusal of Ralph Folsom, present cor
oner, to run for re-eIection, while DR..
Garfield already has his petitions in
circulation.
Folsom, who has been coroner of
Umatilla county off and on for the
last p years, declines asolutely to run
again for the office on account of the
demands made upon his time by his
own business. The office is not a
very remunerative one, there being no
fat salary connected with it, and eX-
perience is about the only thing to be
gained by the incumbent. This ex-
perience, which is of more benefit
to the physician than the layman, is
the only inducement which the posi-
ton has for him, says DR.. Parker, as
he has no desire to enter politics. DR..
Garfield is the present county ply
sician and he believes the office of
coroner is SO closely connected with
his present position that the two
should be combined.
DR.. L L. Temple, city health Off
Ger, has been considering making the
race for the nomination also, but de-
clared this morning that he has re-
nounced any ambitions he might have
had.

ANOTHER BOOK BY
FREDERIC BALCH

Though Frederic Balch, author of
THE Bridge of the Gods" has been
sleeping in his grave for more than
twenty years, another book from his
pen will be offered to the reading
public if the efforts of Major Lee
Moorhouse of this city to interest a
publisher in a manuscript left by the
deceased writer are successful. The
news will be right welcome to the le-
gion of people who have read and re-
read the greatest OF oregon classics,
Mrs Gertrude ingalls,, a sister of
the Frederick Balch now living in
Hood River has sent a completed
novel entitled "Genevieve," found
among her brothers unpublished
papers. to Major Moorhouse with the
request that he make an endeavor to
interest some publishing house in it,
The major has read the manuscript
and declares it to be almost as alb
sorbing in its interest and charm as
THE Bridge of the Gods" He says
it is as distinctly oregon as its fa-
nous predecessor, the scenes all be-
ing along the Columbia river. He
will undertake Immediately to have
the novel published and thinks he will
have no difficulty, so great is the
popularity of the only other novel
written by the man who aspired to
be the Walter Scott of Oregon and
who was only cut off from the attain
ment of his ambitions by the inter-
position of death which called him
at the early age of thirty in the midst
of his first labors.

Anarchist Shoots Three Times
at Emanuel and Wounds
Cavalry Officer.
QUEEN SHIELDS HUSBAND
Would-be Assassin Caught and Mar
rowIy Escapes Lynching While
PopuIacc Fights Guards in Effort
TO Take Horses Places at Carriage.

Rome, March 14.-All Italy is re-
joicing over the escape of King
Emanuel, whose life was attempted
today by Antonio D'Alba an admitted
anarchist He fired three shots at
the king, all missing. One bullet
struck Major Langa, cavalry escort,
and seriously wounded him.
The attempted assassination came
shortly after King Emanuel left the
palace with the queen to attend a
memorial service in honor of his
father who was assassinated.
The royal couple was near Pantheon
where the memorial mass was being
said, when DAlba broke through the
cheering crowds and fired the shots.
The would-be assassin approached
the carriage and fired from the side
occupied by the queen. She saw him
level his revolver and threw herself
between him and her husband, shield
ing the kings body with her own.
Afterward the King and queen
cody sat throughout the ceremonies
at Pantheon. He was in a closed
carriage but owes his life to poor
aim.
D'Alba stepped from the curb, ap-
preached the royal procession, drew
his revolver and fired before the peo-
pie realized what he was doing.
Major Langa was struck by the sec
ond bullet and fell from HIS horse. He
was rushed to the hospital.
While some of the guard closed
around the king to shield him, Others
rushed and overpowered D'Alba.
News of the attempt spread rapidly.
Thousands flocked to Pantheon and
the police had to use force to prevent
the populace from taking out the
horses and drawing the kings car
riage themselves.
D'Alba was roughly handled by the
police and narrowly escaped lynching
When the king returned he was ac-
corded the greatest ovation since he
became ruler

the cost of Improvement work in pro-
portion to the benefits derived. The
proposition has long been pet one
OF Mr., Murphy and he advocated it in
strong terms last night, declaring it
1e only equitable way of procedure
The council seemed very favorably
disposed toward the idea and from
unofficial remarks made after the
meeting. it is apparent that the
plan as proposed will be adopted. The
only objection raised was by Dan
Bowman, who lives on the north side
but not on Jackson street, but when it
was explained that once the district
is created, all property must con-
tribute toward all future Improvement
work done on the north side, he was
apparently more satisfied with it.
Regarding Asphaltic Oils.
City Engineer KImbrell reported
that he and Engineer c. H. Martin. in
accordance with the desires of prop
erty owners. had made estimates up
on the cost of street Improvement
with the standard oil company's road
OIL placing the probable cost at s1.1c
square yard.
In the same connection, Mayor
Matlock today received a letter from
a Vancouver resident to whom he
had written asking the merits Of
Tarvia, another asphaltic oil, in
which the writer expressed his opin-
ion that the material would prove un-
satisfactory as it had done on the
twenty blocks upon which it was used
in his city.

PACKERS WILL NOT
OFFER TESTIMONY
Fear to Take Stand and Will
Depend On Attorneys
Arguments

Chicago, March 14.-Attorney Mil
Ter, for the packers on trial here for
criminal conspiracy, announced that
the packers would rest their case with
out submitting any evidence and de-
pending on argument alone to save
them from going to Jail. Judge Car
penter Immediately ordered a recess
until Monday when the arguments
will begin. The decision of the pack
ers came after a stormy session in an
ante-rOom of the court between the
packers attorneys.
1t is believed that the real reason
why no defense will be offered by
the packers, was the refusal OF Ar
mour and others to take the stand
personally and submit to cross exam
ination.
Judge Carpenter indicated that the
arguments wont be limited and they
will probably consume most of neXt
week.

CHINESE REPUBLIC ROCKS
Manchus Are Sending Army to Try to
Regain Lost Throne.

Peking, March 1.-THE life of the
Chinese republic is seriously menaced
today by a determined effort looking
toward the restoration of the Man
chus to power. The position Of
President Yuan is admittedly grave
Foreign residents in Peking are
frightened over the approach of an
army from Kansu and Shensi, COM
manded by General Shong Yum. The
younger Manchu princes, who siren
uously opposed abdication, are back
ing the general.
Practically the entire third division
of the republican army left here to-
day to intercept the rebel forces.
Owing to the unrest and dissatis-
faction among the republican troops,
it is not believed that President Yuan
can hold out long against them.

The Heavy Stocks of Wheat
 Pulled Down the Prices. Close Was Steady

Chicago, February 26.-Heavy stocks of wheat pulled down prices today again and again, each successive decline being met by increased selling. The close was steady, but lsdAc down; oats off 4e to I+aasc, and hog products with a gain of 5e to 15c.
 Among wheat specuators the decisive factor of the day appeared to be the slowness with which shippers and millers made an impression upon the United States visible supply. The total showed that the falling off for the week amounted to much less than at the corresponding time year ago. In this connections special notice was given the facts that the store on hand in Minneapolis had ex- hibited an actual increase of 125,o00 bush els for two days as against a backset of 1lo,0oo bushels for the same period 12 months previous. Futher reason for sell ing wassS found in the plentiful snow throughout the winter crop belt At first however, the market acted under a bull ish impulse due to higher prices at Liv- enpoo, where traders were affected by prospects of spread of difficulties due tD tUe IuTklSn WAT.
