Roosevelt no Today.

Oyster Bay. April 4.-The ceremony
which at noon today united in mar
riage Miss Ethel Roosevelt, youngest
daughter of Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt, and DR.. Richard Derby, at Christ
Episcopal church here. was rehearsed
yesterday afternoon. The full cere-
mony was performed at the church
with all of the bridesmaids and. ush-
ers present. The church was not
elaborately decorated for the wedding
because of the wishes of Colonel and
Mrs. Roosevelt to have the ceremony
performed with as little display as
possible The reception at the house
was a short one. Not more than 200
guests were present and these were
the friends of Miss Roosevelt and DR..
Derby. The friends of the colonel and
Mrs. Roosevelt have been omitted
from the list of invitations because
this was no White House wedding
such as that which marked the mar
rage of Miss Alice Roosevelt to form
er Representative Nicholas Longworth
One of the reasons for the limited
number of guests was the fact that

there are not accommodations at tbe
church or Sycamore Hill for more than
those invited.
While Col. and Mrs. Roosevelt bave
declined to say anything about the
presents received by Miss Roosevelt it
is believed she has received many
beautiful and costly gifts from friends
of the family and those who have been
and are now prominent in the public
life of the country.

HUERTA HAS PLAN
Pedro Lascurain to Be Named
Provisional President.
But He Has Only $4,000 Troops
to Support Him.

Ell Paso Tex, April 4.-To satisfy all
factions, General Huerta has agreed to
the naming of Pedro Lascurain as pro-
visional president, said adTices received
here directly fro the national capital.
Lascurain would serve out the uncom-
pleted term of the late Madero.
AS minister of exterior relations in
Madero's former cabinet, Lascurain is
of the C-ath of Madero and Vice Presi-
dent SuareZ. The Huerta cabinet
would be retained by the compromise.
This arrangement, it is said, has been
offered to the constitutionalists, now
fighting the Huerta government in
northern Mexico. 1t is declared that
Governor Carranza, of CoahuiIa has
agreed that the Sonora insurrection-
lists will fall in line. The decision of
the present provisional president is
said to have been occasioned by the
recent uprising of Zapata in the south,
which places the Huerta forces be-
tween two fires.
Mexican men estimate that Huerta
has not more than IL, 900 troops in all
Mexico with which to meet the Situa-
ton This is even less than Porfirio
Diaz possessed in combating the Ma
dero revolution. Madero on taking Of
flee began recruiting volunteer troops,
with the ex-insurrecto corps as basis.
In the meantime, the regular army
was not recruited to normal strength.
The desertion to the opposite side of
the majority of the volunteer groups
has left the actual government forces
far below par.

OLSON ON STAND
Mrs. Olson Will Also Testify
About the Broken Home.

st. Paul, April 4.-Professor Carl
Olson, formerly of the University of
Minnesota farm school, was scheduled
to resume the witness stand in his own
defense today and complete his story
of the murder of Clyde N. Darling, the
alleged wrecker of the Olson home.
Olson was expected to follow her hus-
band on the witness stand and to cor
roborate his statement relative to her
fillicit relations with Darling.
The stoical indifference exhibited by
the defendant since his arrest, was
broken yesterday for the first time.
He wept while relating his wifes con-
feSsion to him and her plea that Dar-
ling be kept from their home.
Hundreds of women have crowded
the courtroom since the trial began
Many were in tears during Professor
OIson's testimony. Offers of financial
aid from farmers of the northwest
with whom Professor Olson was very
popular, continue to pour in daily.
Darling HypnOtized Her.
''She told me this-'Darling has a
superhuman influence over me. He
takes me in his arms and holds me
tight. He looks into my eyes and
hypnotizes me. 1 cannot resist him.
This is one of the many statements
made today by Professor Oscar NJ.
Olson, concerning the alleged illicit
relations between his wife and Clyde
N. Darling, with the murder of whom
Olson is charged. Under cross ex-
animation Olson oftentimes weeping
gave further details of the confession
which he said his wife made to him

U. U.S.LOOKS INTO IT
Will Investigate Charges Of
Cruelty in England.
To See if Miss Emerson, Suf-
fragette, Was a Victim.

Washington, April 4.-Omcials at the
| state department today said the atti-
| tude of the United States in the case
| of Miss Zelie Emerson, the American
| militant suffragette, imprisoned In
| London, would be determined after
| further report, the London embassy
having been ordered to investigate the
| charges that the young woman was
subjected to cruel treatment. 1t was
pointed out today that if Mrs. Elmer
son, mother of the young woman, has
complained to the embassy, it must
have been subsequent to the sending
of Charge Iaughlin'S report of yester-
day which said the mother had filed
no charges, although she was grant
ed an hours interview with her daugh-
ter.
Secretary Bryan will Immediately
take up with Chandler Anderson, the
counselor of the department. the Ques-
tjon of what is to be done. Practical
ly there are no precedents. the nearest
similar case being that of Mrs. May
brick, when some of the highest Of
ficials in the United States petitioned
the British government to release the
American woman from the prison
where she was serving a NE sentence.
1t was held by various secretaries,
notably Blaine and Hay, that there
was no warrant for direct official
request from the United States gov
ernfhent for clemency in Mrs May
bricks case, SO these representations
were unofficial though made
through the American embassy in
London. Secretary Bryan wishes first
to establish the complete regularity of
the judicial proceedings in the case OF
Miss Emerson, and If he follows the
ordinary course and ascertains that
there has been no discrimination
against the woman on account of her
nationality and that she has not been
treated in a cruel and inhuman man
ner, forbidden by the principles of the
law common to all natlons' ne nKe-
wise probably will confine himself to
the exercise of his functions in an~un-
official way to secure an amelioration
of Miss Emerson's condition.
Doctor Cannot See Mrs. Emerson.
London, April 4.-ReginaId McKenna,
the British home secretary, today curt
ly refused to permit the physician cho-
sen by Mrs. Emerson of Jackson, Mich,
to examine her daughter. Zelie, the
militant suffragette now in prison for
window smashing and supposed to be
suffering from the results of forcible
feeding. Secretary McKenna's reply
to Mrs. Emerson's request was as fol-
lows:
Il regret that 1 cannot grant your
reouest to have your daughter exam
ined by a physician of your own choos-
ing. The condition of your daughters
health is satisfactory and gives no
cause for anxiety. If your daughter
continues to be of good behavior she
will be released from prison on April
g."
After receiving this refusal Mrs EN-
erson visited DR.. ManSell Moulin
whom she had chosen in event OF
granting of her request She described
the condition in which she had found
her daughter and the doctor thereupon
stated:
Serious and perhaps permanent
loss of health will be the result unless
your daughter be Immediately re-
leased"

Suffragettes in England Have
Reached Vicious Stage.
Railroad Systems Warned of
Threat to Burn Stations.
GIRLS WITH FIRE IGNITERS
Arrested With Paper, Oil, Can
dies and Matches.
Empty Trains Dynamited and
Militants Are Suspected.

London, April 1.-Two girls sus-
pected of being militant suffragettes
about to commit an outrage were ar
rested today before dawn. They car
r1ed bags containing paraffin, paper
saturated with oil, candles and
matches. In each of the bags was a
paper bearing the scrawl:
Beware how you treat Mrs
Pankhurst."
The girls when brought up at the
police court gave their names as Phyl-
lis Brady and Millicent Dean. They
had explained to the policeman who
arrested them that they ere return

Some empty trains were dynamited
near Stockport, Cheshire, in the

outrage.
Internal Machine Found.
A canister of explosives had been
placed under a seat in one of the cars
with a quantity of fire lighters satur-
ated with resin and oil. The force of
the explosion splintered several cars.
There also was an attempt during the
night to blow up Oxted station in Sur
rey on the London, Brighton and South
coast railway but the damage caused
by the explosion was inconSiderable. A
travelling basket was found in a lava
tory containing an elaborately devised
Internal machine to go off at a. m.

emily the gun powder exploded without
igniting the petrol. A revolver found
apparently had been dropped during

Teachers Trained to Meet
Pressing Needs.

Oregon Agricultural College,
Corvallis, Ore, Oct. 8. Can you
furnish US a teacher of manual
training?" This question was
asked more than twenty times of
Professor E. D. Ressler, head of
the department of Industrial Ped
agogy, Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, after the available supply
for this year hnd been exhausted.
In order to meet the Increasing
demand for teachers in home eco
nomics and manual training the
faculty has been ENLARGED and
the courses rearranged so that
students are now offered as com
prehensive and complete prepa-
ration as can be found in any in
stitution in the country.
A four years degree course in
manual training is now offered
for the first time. 1t is styled
Industrial Arts, and leads to the
degree of bachelor of science. In
addition to the technical subjects,
including construction work in
the elementary grades, wood
work, pattern making, machine
shop, art metal work and forg-
ing, the course includes trigono-
metry, college algebra, plain sur
veying, mechanical drawing and
descriptive geometry, chemistry,
physics, courses in forestry, lib
eral training in English, modern
languages, political science and
professional courses in education.
Construction work in this de-
partment will be in charge of AS
Sistant Professor E. P. Jackson, |
who has been assigned to the
preparation of teachers for in
in manual training. AS
students of his classes will go in
o the public schools and teach
manual training to thousands of
Oregon boys, their opportunity
o take the subject under Profess
,or Jackson is a matter of great
yalue to the state as well as to
themselves.

LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
CAMPAIGN PLANNED
Territory Surrounding
Each Commercial Club
Will be Developed.

Planning to organize a movem ent
for the development of the territory
surrounding each of the commercial
clubs throuhgout the state, Tom Rich
aIdson, who has probably engineered
more such undertakings than any other
one man in tine United States, has
been engaged by the Executive Com
mittee of the Portland Commercial
Club to give the greater portion of
his time to this line of work in the
future.
With the DEVELOPMENT of each COM
munity in the state to its greatest
possible extent as his object, Mr..
Richardson will devote his energies
and his experience to assisting each
individual commercial body in raising
funds and in inauGurating a campaign
wide in scope and aggressive in
character for the betterment of their
own home territory. One of the
main ideas in this work will be to
place the idle lands of the state within
reach of hOmeseekers at reasonable
prices and when established on the
land, the new conner will be assistet
in every possible way to make a sue
cess of his venture. If Oregon is to
profit by the great movement of tour
lists to the Coast in 1915. each COM
munity should commence preparations
to that end at once.

Sensible Regulation of
Railways.

State legislatures generally
have shown symptoms Of a mania
for regulation of railways. In
forty-tWo legislatures during 1913
there was a total of 1896 bills
for the regulation of railway op-
Grafton. Of that number 230 bills
were passed.
There appear to be three causes
underlying this unprecedented
flood of regulative measures. AS
an authoritative publication OBJ
serves, the first originates in a
commendable desire on the part
of legislators to promote the pub
lie welfare through the passage
of laws really needed.
The second cause arises from
vain-glory and deceit. Bills pre-
tending to regulate railways are
introduced in large numbers by
certain legislators whose object
is to create an impression that
they are 'on the job"
The third cause is given by The
Railway Age Gazette as the main
spring of much of this legislation.
1t is traceable to the ubiquitous
activity of the lobbies of the rail
way brotherhood, " with their de-
mands for statutes covering the
subjects of full crews, hours of
service, service letters and time
of payment, terms of employ
ment, experience Of employees,
headlights, and so on through a
practically interminable list.
The net result, as summarized
by the authority given, is the pas
sage of some good measures, and
of large number of provisions
restrictive, burdensome, med
dlesome, inconsistent, expensive,
unjust or downright silly"
Since the effect of the 230 laws
recently adopted is to increase the
cost of railway operation, the al
tentative of the roads is either to
net earnings or increase
and freight rates.
Evidently there ought to be
some sort of clearing house for
railway legislation. 1t is admit
ted on every hand, even by the
roads themselves, that intel
ligent legislation and regulation
are necessary; but the line must
be drawn somewhere.
1t is entirely possible that the
demand of the roads for 'intelli-
gent" action may yet be met by
he Interstate Commerce Commits
lion. The tendency clearly laid ]
lown in the Minnesota cases was |
o enlarge the powers of that
Dody at the expense of the vari- s
,us State Commissions. '
If this be carried to its logical t
onclusion, the railways will ulti-
lately have only one legislative
ody to prescribe for them---the
instead of the Legisla- !
lres Of forty-eight states. t

AT the Salem State Fair, which
has just closed the most prosperous
session ever held, Douglas county
took first prize for the best co1nty
display, forcing Benton county, five
times winner of the annual contest to
take second place. The decision was
Verv close one, the judge having
been for some time undecided as to
which display was the best. the splen-
did showing of corn in the Doug las
county booth being the final deciding
factor. Clackamas county was third
Washington county fourth, Linn fifth
Tillamook sixth and Polk county
seventh. Certainly no better county
exhibits have ever before been made
at the State Fair.

A remarkable record has been made
the past summfr in keeping down
forest fires in the great areas of the
Northwest, it being stated on good
authority that the total loss will fall
under 8, 900, 900 feet with a valuation
less than S. 900, this in comparison
with the former low record of 26, 600,
900 feet in 1911. This splendid show
ing was made possible by the active
cooperation of railroads, loRgers,
campers and landowners with the
rangers and the prompt
ness with which all small blazes
have been located aud put out.

Development of the country tribu-
tary to the Sumpter VALLEY Railroad
is now in full swing. Mining and
logging are extremely active but
probably the most hopeful sign of
future prosperity in that section is
the great interest being taken by the
farmers in stock raising end dairying.
Two carloads of high grade Holsteins
we're recently imported by the First
National Bank of Paririe City and
these cattle have been distributed
among the farmers at reasonable prices
and on easy terms. 1t is expected
that within short time the output
of the dairy will be among the most
important products of that section.
