SENATORIAL BATHS MUST GO
Caucus Cuts Off One Luxury and
Aims at Another.

Washington, D. C.-Senators who
have been accustomed to splash luxur-
iously in the fine baths in the senate
office building will splash there no
more. The big baths, by order of the
Democratic caucus of the senate, have
been locked up and the bath attend
ants have had their official heads cut
off. All this in the way of economy,
it was said.
The next move is to be against the
senate barber shop, where senators
are allowed to have their whiskers
trimmed and their hair cut free of
charge The barber shop may be con-
tinued, but each senator will have to
pay for his own shave or haircut.
Senator Kenyon, Republican, of
Iowa, is one of those who believe that
the free haircuts should be dispensed
with and last session unsuccessfully
attempted to get a bill of that kind
passed.

OJEDA FLEES TO
UNITED STATES
Indians Capture Naco and Ex-
terminate Garrison.
Guard of Is Left to Cover Retreat
Die Fighting Federals Spike
Guns and Destroy Supplies.

Naco, Ariz.-General Pedro OJeda,
commanding the remnants of his fed
eral garrison of 800 troopers at Naco,
Sonora, surrendered to the United
States. troops on border patrol here
Sunday morning at IL O'Clock, after
having withstood a siege of state
troops which lasted for five days, and
in which more than half his troopers
were killed.
The surrender was fastened by the
attack on the federal garrison by the
band of Yaqui Indians under General
Alvaro Obregon, commanding state
troops. The latter force at daybreak
burst in on the little garrison and
fought viciously. The dead on both
sides have been estimated at 200, and
the Notifications at Naco, Sonora, are
veritable slaughter pens.
General Ojeda, true to his promise,
refused to surrender. While the fight
ing was at its height he attempted to
march across the border with his small
band. The fire from the enemy was
demoralizing, and Ojeda and his men
ran and became scattered. Not even
then did the firing from the rebels
cease.
Captain H. A. Stewart, Company A,
Ninth United States cavalry, ran
alone to Ojeda's assistance.
The American officer grasped the
Mexican general by the arm, and to-
gether they ran in a hail of lead to
where an automobile was waiting.
Captain .Figueroa, of the federal
garrison, with Is men, remained be-
hind to cover General Ojeda's flight.
One by one he and his fellows died in
the barracks, surrounded by a horde
of yelling, slaughtering Yaquis.

suspended in Gloversville and Johns
town-the center of American fine
glove manufacturing six hours
Thursday, while the populace of the
two cities united in a demonstration
of protest against the Underwood tar
if bill, as it affects the glove and
glove leather industries. The demon
stration was planned by Gloversville
merchants.
Gloversville was the scene of the
demonstration, special cars and trains
bringing to this city one of the largest
crowds that ever gathered. Five
thousand glove workers, women as
we'll as men; merchants, professional
men, saleswomen and clerks, trades
people people of all kinds, partici-
pated in the parade. Four mass meet
ings were held, protesting resolutions
adopted, and petitions, addressed to
President Wilson, circulated.
Glove factories and leather mills
ceased working, every place Of bust
ness in the two cities, including all
lines of trade, was closed and practi-
cally the entire population of the two
cities joined in the demonstration.

AIR CRAFT SEEN OFF COAST
Dirigible Balloon Takes Observa-
tons and Disappears South.

Seaside, Or. - A dirigible balloon
moving rapidly was seen sailing over
the ocean near here and south of the
mouth of the Columbia river Wednes-
day morning about 80 o'clock.
Several persons who had risen early
to catch the train for Portland and
persons at the Moore hotel watched
the air craft until it disappeared from
sight behind Tillamook Head.
Charles A. Runo and wife, of Wor-
cester, saw the balloon from their
windows, which overlooked the ocean.
1t came from the direction of Fort
Stevens. When they first noticed the
car it moved swiftly towards the
Washington shore, where it seemed to
stand poised for couple of minutes,
taking observations, then in sweep
ing circle it headed towards Tillamook
Head and passed out of sight around
the light house.
This is not the first time the balloon
has been sighted along the beach be-
tween here and Fort Stevens. About
three months ago it was reported from
Columbia Beach and at other points.
An effort was made at that time to
learn whether the officers at Fort
Stevens were experimenting with a
dirigible war balloon and taking OBJ
servations, but nothing came of the
inquiry.
The balloon is believed to be war
dirigible by Captain John Anderson,
whose sea experience has taught him
the use of marine glasses, and who
had the craft under observation for
ten minutes. He said, he could make
out three men aboard, and that one of
the three was peering through tele-
scope. One seemed to be taking
notes, and the other was at the helm.

TAX ON ESTATE IS $4,000, 900
New York State to Receive Great
Sum Under Inheritance Law.

Albany, N. View York state
will receive between SO, 000,0 900 and
81, 900, 900 inheritance tax from the
estate of the late ]. P. Morgan, &C
cording to preliminary estimates made
by attaches of the state controllers
office.
The estimate is based on report
that the total estate will be about
500, 900, 900. The tax is expected to
be one of the largest ever paid.
A reduction of per cent is allowed
if the tax is paid within six months
after the estate is appraied.
Because of the various enterprises
in which Mr.. Morgan was interested,
it will be necessary to employ num-
Der of experts to appraise the estate,
which consists mainly of stocks, bonds
and works of art.

miracle had taken place. The noun
tain's cold gray stones were softened
and warmed by the same pink light,
and even San Jacinto was touched by
the Transforming color. Little by little
the wonder faded away darkness
came on, but not unattended, for up
from behind Grayback rose the full,
moon. {
At last it was time to start up the
trail to the summit. The Book Girl
and the Ordinary Girl elected to start
first, for they were new to mountain
trails.
The moonlight shone weirdly on the
gray mountainside, the wind was cold,
and the trail was steep and shady and
hard to follow. Above them they saw
snowbank glistening In the moon
light, and knew they were not far
from the top of the ridge.
Soon they came to the top, and stood
therefor a moment only. The wind
was blowing gale, and almost swept
them of the mountain. Breathlessly
they dropped down behind some rocks,
until, partly warm and with recovered
breath, they were able to climb over
the great boulders farther along the
ridge toward the summit. 1t was bit
terly cold, and the wind was against
them. They crept over the rocks,
large patches of snow, until in a short
time they stood beside the pile of
stones that marks the summit of Gray
back. In comfortable places, away
from the wind, they awaited the dawn
of the new day..
The sky was dull and gray and for
bidding, but soon in the east there
crept up faint rosy glow. Then pink
streamers stole up into the gray sky,
deepened in color, rose more rapidly,
and over the mountain below Gray
back came the great golden ball we
call the sun. Its rays came streaming
across the snow to, the Four, and they
watched peak after peak catch the
light, saw that light steal away down
to the Wiley, and knew that new day
had begun.
In the morning light the Four looked
far out to the desert seen the night be-
fore at timber line, saw the valley
towns between the mountains. and
everywhere range after range clad In
their wonderful grays and green's.

DON'T UNDERSTAND ISSUE
President Said to Be Misinformed
on Japanese Situation.


Portland, Or" The hope of Presi-
Gent Wilson that. anti-J japanese legis-
latlon in California may not be objec-
tlonable to Japan, if understood, is
certainly not founded on knowledge
OF the Japanese mind, is an opinion
expressed by Rev. A. M. Williams, of
this city, who has just returned from
that country. Mr.. Williams is educa-
tional superintendent of the Presby-
terrain Sunday School board and has
been in the Philippines, China and
Japan on several months tour.
Some queer, things get into the
dispatches about conditions in the ORR
ent, !" continued Mr.. Williams. Zone
of these is the statement that Ameri-
cans may not own real estate in Jap
an, as implied in the Presidents state
ment to newspaper men recently. Not
only do many large foreign business
concerns own real estate there, but
the various missions have valuable
property and many individuals have
private realty holdings.
"That the passage of the land bill
by the California legislature may
prove a death blow to the Christian
movement in Japan, as suggested in a
Toxic dispatch, is putting it too strong
ly, but any anti-Japanese movement in
America naturally wounds the pride OF
the people over there and of course
becomes a bar to the progress of
Christianity.

BELLS FOUND NOT
GUILTY BY KETFF JURY

Kief, Russia, Nov. 10.-The Men
del Bells jury returned a verdict to-
night acquitting him OF the murder
OF 12-year-old Andrei Munscinsky,
said by the prosecution to have been
a victim Of a Jewish religious cere-
monial calling for human sacrifice.
The courts instructions TO the
Bells jury were generally considered
favorable TO the defense. The presi-
dent Of the court formulated a series
Of questions for the jurors to answer,
the most important Of them being
Did Mendel Bells and accomplices
murder Andrei Muschinsky out OF re-
llgious fanaticism after inhicting on
him AZ wounds from which FIVE
glasses full OF blood were drawn"
The plain inference, from the form
in which the question was put, was
that the fact OF the killing was estab-
lished and that it only remained for
the jury to decide whether It consti-
tuted murder.
That Bells was innocent no intelli-
gent person who had followed the
trial doubted That he would be ac-
quilted, however, was by no means
believed certain. even by his own
lawyers. It was plain from the first
that the prosecution wanted to make
out such case as would arouse the
entire Christian population OF the
country against the Jews. Instruc-
tions we're said to have been received
from men high in authority at St.
Petersburg that a verdict Of guilty
positively must be returned.
Several Of the jurors were believed
to have made up their minds in ad-
vance. because OF prejudice against
Bells and his race.
BELLS burst into tears Of thanks
giving when the verdict was an
nlunced and then collapsed in his
lawyers arms. Under a strong guard
OF soldiers Bells was escorted home
with a bowling mob at his heels. Cos
