BArTLEsHIP OREGON LEADS
Will Have Place of Greatest Honor
at Canal Opening.

Washington. D. Secretary Dan
ieIs formally announced Wednesday
that the historic battleship Oregon,
which made the famous trip around
Cape Horn in the early days of the
Spanish war would lead the great feet
through the Panama canal when the
waterway is opened in 1915.
While plans for the event have not
yet been formulated, Secretary Daniels
will be aboard, as will President Will
son, in all probability. 1t is suggest
ed, too, that all surviving officers who
served on the Oregon on the 1898
cruise be again at their posts when
the battleship leads the procession
through the canal In this event the
Oregon will be commanded by Rear
Admiral Charles E. Clark, retired,
now living in Washington.

All-Night Theaters.

Many Indian theaters keep their
performances going until four or five
in the morning. These dramatic or
gies are not, says the Times, of India,
however, due to the length of the
plays, as in Chinese theaters, but to
the fact that the tramcars do not be-
gin running till five o'clock. AS the
spectators gather from distant viii
lagos and have strong objections to
paying gharry hire, they expect to be
entertained until the trans start. One
can scarcely wonder that theaters in
which the actors and actresses are on
the stage from eight in the evening
till five in the morning do not display
much histrionic excellence. OF course,
the system would be impossible If the
theaters were open every night of the
week, but the strain on the players
must be cruel, though it is confined to
Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday
nights. One has often been struck In
an Indian theater by the leisurely
manner in which everything is done.
Now we have the explanation.

ADMITTED DEBTS TO WIVES
Statesmen Acknowledge Benefits of
Better Halves.

Compliments have frequently been
paid by famous statesmen to their
wives 1t will be remembered how
Disraeli dedicated ''Sybil'' ito the
most severe Of critics, but a perfect
wife,, and when a certain wit, who
never allowed good taste to wait on
his humor, was rallying Disraeli on
his marriage he received the cutting
reply:
81 married from motive which
do not expect you to understand
gratitude.
Mr.. Gladstone, in old age, said to
friend: my wife has known every
political secret l have ever had, and
has never betrayed my confidence"
and others have borne tribute to "the
tender viligance which sustained and
prolonged his years.
Lady Salisbury, with no aptitude or
inclination for public life, was the
stay, cnnfidante and social helpmeet
of her husband.

Housing School Teachers.

The cities of Ulm and Frankfort, in
Germany, are trying a novel plan for
housing their teachers They are sell
ing to their teachers good municipal
land at low price and accepting
mortgage on it at low interest In
Frankfort this mortgage may amount
to 80 per cent of the value, so that
the applicant has to provide but 10
per cent from his own finds. The tax
and mortgage payments together, it is
said, do not amount to any more than
reasonable rent, and with his regular
"house money!" which is always al
lowed him besides his salary, the
teacher is soon the owner of his own

WIRELESS EXPLODES MINE
AT DISTANCE OF 5 MILES

London = An experiment conducted
secretly into the possibility of explod-
ing mines by means of electric waves
without direct contact is said to have
been highly successful. The method
employed is variously reported to have
been Ulivi's Invention and other in
ventions of similar nature.
The old cruiser Tepsichore, with the
watertight compartments closed, was
placed over mine and when the ex-
plosion was effected it tore the bottom
out Of the ship and she had to be
towed hurriedly to Portsmouth to pre-
vent her from sinking. 1t is said that
the work was accomplished from a

ALIEN WIFE MAY HAVE VOTE
Though Not Naturalized, Status Is
Same As Husbands.

Salem, Or.-Attorney General Craw-
ford holds that a married woman, al
though not naturalized, is vested with
the right of suffrage if her husband is
naturalized or is a native citizen. The
opinion was the result of numerous
letters having been received by Mr..
Crawford on the subject.
1.-The naturalization laws of the
United States" said the attorney
general, provide that when woman
becomes the wife of citizen her civil
status becomes the same as that of her
husband. Therefore in this state she
is entitled to vote. An alien woman
who marries a citizen cannot take out
naturalization papers, but must fol-
low the status of her husband OF
course, in order to vote these women
have to register and conform to other
minor requirements the same as men. "
Attorney General Crawford also
held that under the state constitution
an alien who makes his declaration to
become a citizen before a Circuit
Judge one year before an election il
entitled to vote at that election.

POL|CY|SAPPROVED
British Press Says HueIta Unworthy
Of Recognition By U. S.
Gravity of Mexican Situation Fully
Realized, But Not Worth
Quarrel With America.

London-"Owi to important bust
ness" Walter H. Page, United States
ambassador, excused himself from
keeping an engagement to preside
over the lecture of an American pro-
fessor whose subject was Great Brit
ain and the United States" The am
bassador's important business" is
believed to have been connected with
the Mexican situation
The British press is alive to the
gravity of the Mexican affair. The
daily Graphic, which finds it signifi-
cant that one of the secretaries of
Foreign Secretary Grey, Sir William
G. Tyrrell, is being sent to Washing
ton, in an editorial again denounces
President Huerta, whose recent state
ment, it says, proves his unftness for
any responsible Office and abundantly
justifies President Wilson's refusal to
accord recognition to his government
The Graphic, however is almost
alone in taking the view that Great
Britain is wrong in recognizing HUI
erta. The tendency of the editorial
opinion generally is to regard it as
impossible that the two English
speaking peoples should quarrel over
the affairs of a Latin-American coun-
try
The Daily Telegraph recognizes the
serious danger of Huerta's attempting
to marshal the people of the United
States and the less interested nations
of the Old World into opposing
camps" and says it feels convinced
that the good sense and political wis
dom in America will see the risk and
by sagacity and restraint avoid it.
The Standard says it sees nothing
discreditable in the British govern
ment's looking after British interests
in oil in Mexico, since other nations
protect their commercial interests in
similar manner.
Sir Hiram Maxim, writing in the
: Morning Post, says the enormou.
growth of the Ang,o-Saxon popula
ton in North America makes th'
8 eventual absorption of Mexico newt
e able. Therefore, he adds, Great Brit
j ain ought not to put the brake on thu
wheels of progress and rightly o
: wrongly she should support the Amer
+ lean policy in Mexico.
; The Daily News in strong editor
: ial demands the recall of Sir Lione
! Garden on the ground that he is doin
his best to help Huerta in his desig
le to set the British and American go,
70 ernments at loggerheads. The news
=. paper says:
l. "The maintenance of Americs
friendship is the keystone to BIRTHS
IN policy. Not all the British capital il
re vested in Mexico would compensa
u for the risk of losing America
g. friendship.
rs The Daily Mail complains of Pres
10 dent Wilson's sphinx-like silence co
ST corning his plans for solving the Me,
ne lean difficulty. 1t says he refuses
w recognize Huerta, but offers no alte
y native solution.
eff he would frankly show in VIII

PANKHURsT MEETING FROST

of Suffragette.

New York-Mrs. Emmaline Pank-

Garden her first American mass meet
ing, explained why military methods
for the cause of woman suffrage are
followed in England, and defended
such methods. She criticised the
British government as the most con-

sible, through failure to enact legis-
lation desired by women, for the ac-
ton of advocates of suffrage in resort
ing to violence to obtain the ballot

secure laws dealing with white slav.

lions affecting women.
