:
a An immense bridge spans the waters
on one side, while off the west can
be seen the city, lying somewhat up
wards. We landed on the other side
of the bridge where we took the cleo
trio to Sanssouci, the Garden Of joy
or without sorrow" as it is called.
Surely when one sees this, one can
forget everything but the knowledge
that one is living and able to see such
beauty. The main entrance is long
vista Of trees headed by a fountain
OF, marble the crown Of which is a
crock of yellow and scarlet Oriental
flowers. At q right angle to this al
ley runs another and here the eye is
fascinated. Smoothly it runs, lined
on both sides by trees and in the dis
tance a fountain 130 feet in height,
the highest in the world. This foun-
tain seems to stand guard for the old
castle on the bluff. This is reached
by a series OF terraces, six in number,
and on each terrace fifty steps. This
is the castle Of Frederick the Great
J. Father Of the Fatherland" To the
left Of the castle and a little below,
lies veritable paradise, a circular
enclosure walled in by Oriental
shrubs, 20 feet in height and at yari-
Gus intervals small doorways. It is
not unlike the Roman arena in shape.
Flowers and shrubs decorate the inte-
rior and in the center stands the stat
ue Of the Greek archer ready to send
off his deadly arrow" The shrubs
surrounding are in form of gateways.
We climbed another terrace and saw
in the distance the form Of the
Sleeping Maiden Just then we
heard the flute and drum and few
minutes later the Army of Orphan
Boys marched past. It is splendid
how nicely the Fatherland looks after
it's children. At the chateau on the
bluff, Frederick Wilhelm the Great is
buried, according to his own wish, in
order that it might be truly Sanssouci
truly without sorrow" l will never
forget this place and. will set it down
in my memory as one of the chief
places Of beauty.
We had luncheon and dinner and
then returned by train direct to Ber-
lin where the taxi landed us direct
sly at our own door.
hope by this, that you can get a
miniature idea of our doings. I feel
J must mention the German ball
which we attended. It could be called
cosmopolitan as we met splendid peo-
pie from several nations Italy and
England were represented by stu
dents. We met several lawyers and
doctors, one from America. Best of
all were the American friends we
met One, an American bishop, will
make rather a long stay here, but he
told us that America was magnet.
He appreciated Minnesota, as we'll as
1 do, that being his state too. Several
Americans reside in Berlin tho most
of those we met will return home.
Will now close with best wishes to
you all.

MANIGAL REVEALS MORE
Enlarees on Confession of Dynamiting
Before PrObers.

indianapolis, Jan. 17.-When Ortie
McManigal resumed his testimony be-
fore the federal grand jury here to-
day, it is believed that he enlarged
upon his confession, originally made
to Detective Burns, in which he i'm
plicated twenty or more labor leaders
in as many dynamiting outrages. The
probers probably will finish with Nc
Manigal this afternoon.
McManigal went into details re-
garding dynamiting in the east in
which he alleged John Mcnamara and
other labor leaders were implicated.
He was closely questioned concern
ing the dynamitings at Buffalo, Bos-
ton, Cleveland, Wilkesbarre, McKees
Roost, Pa, South Chicago. Omaha and
other places.
McManigal then gave the names of
labor leaders no whom he says John
Mcnamara sent him in connection
with dynamitings. The investigation
here will probably close by the end
of this week.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE bitter
preconvention fight is being waged
throughout the south by the three
branches of the republican party, ac-
cording to reports received here. Or
ganized campaigns are being conduct
ed by Taft and La Toilette boomers

Colonel Roosevelt.
Politicians were much surprised
when they -feard that Ormsby Nc
Harg, who was dismissed as assistant
secretary of commerce and labor, be-
cause he issued an interview charac-
terizing Colonel Roosevelt as "a lit
tie yellow dog under the republican
bandwagon," was leading the Roose-
welt forces IN the South. 1t is expect
ed that Colonel Roosevelt will deny
that McHarg is working for him, in
characteristic Roosevelt language.
Representative Nelson Is leading
the La Toilette boom and the presi-
dents private secretary. Hilles. is

ated eastern oregon district will be
known, the avowed candidates are
John p. (Jerry) Rusk of La Grande,
S. Fred Wilson of Athena, and George
c. Cochran of La Grande.
Walter Pierce May Run.
With the prospects of lively race
and possibly a serious split In the re-
publican ranks more or less interest
/ is being taken in the possible demo-
cratic candidate for congress. Win

PLAY SQUARE JUDGE WILLIS ADVISES
TWO HUNDRED BOYS OF PEKDLETON

Appealing to his hearers to "play
square," Judge Willis Brown, who
lectured in the Methodist church last
night, talked to 200 or more school
boys shortly before noon today in the
assembly room Of the city hall and
there was probably not one of his
young hearers but was influenced by
the words of the great juvenile work
er.
Judge Brown proved his under
standing of boy nature by the man
ner in which he presented his mes
sage to his audience of this morning
Interesting and entertaining them with
personal anecdotes couched in the
phraseology of "kidland," he would
forcefully interject his counsel and
advice. as a physician puts his pill in
a sugar coating. and thus he succeed
ed in implanting in the youthful
minds ideas which otherwise would
have been wasted in the air.
"Don't Be Sneak.
"Don't be a sneak" was the key
note of the judges talk. "It is the
sneak among the boys that becomes
the criminal among the men," he
said. 1.-THE boy who will allow his
mother and teacher to think him a
perfect little angel when in reality he
is n perfect little devil, who swears,
and smokes and cheats behind their
back is the boy who will break into
the penitentiary when he Is a man. II
Is the fellow who can play square in
his work as well as in his play who
will make the good citizen"
Tells OF Boyville.
In the course of his remarks, Judge
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-01-17

Brown told of the famous town of
Boyville, within the city of Gary, In
diana, of which he is the father. There
he said, every boy in the city becomes
a citizen of Boyville unon his prom
ise to "play square" and becomes a
part in the administration of the af-
fairs of the town. They have a gov
ernment of their own and when any
boy becomes refractory. he. is sent
to the neighboring town of Boy Town
instead of the reform school, and in
this town he goes to school, learns a
trade and casts aside his bad habits
He is privileged to run away If he
wants to, for the boy is placed upon
his honor, but every runaway, accord
ing to the judge, returns in due time
and resumes his work
AS outlined by Judge Brown, his
plan in dealing with boys is ar
"honor plan," a trust being placed in
and he declares the plan is meeting
with great results in the reclamation
Of boyhood.
Both In his talk to the schoolboy:
and in his lecture last night, Judge
Brown related many of his own ex'
periences with SO called bad boys. eaci
one in the end justifying the methods
used in his redemption. The mar
