the cOmmutation of the death sentence

more names of Condor and Gillian
county people was filed. Both gentle.
men made brief but strong argument in
favor of the executive clemency and the
governor took the matter under advise
ment. The boy was only II years old
at the time the crime was committed
and is barely IS. now. The crime was
caused by insane jealousy and showed
no signs of premeditatiOn, and under
the Oregon statute is not murder in the

BROTHERS
Return HIS WARRANT.

That modern circus does not keen
everything IL gets its hands on, espe-
cially If 1t would be hard stuff to
handle, was proven today in letter
received by County Treasurer Moore
from George W. Hubbs, real estate
man Of silverton.
While visiting the city prior to at.
tending the Ringling Brothers circus
last Saturday, Mr.. Hubbs called at tho
court house and secured several eoun.
ty warrants, the value Of which
amounted to nearly $40. He eashed
one warrant, and with his family went
to the circus in the afternoon. While
viewing the sights, Mr.. Hubbs lost the
envelope containing tho warrants, and
did not discover his loss until the show
was out. He at once called upon the
circus management to keep an eye out
for the warrants, which they prom
ised to do, and then advised Treasurer
Moore Of tho incident by telling him
to stop payment on the same should
they be presented to the local banks.
Last Monday morning Mr.. Hubbs re.
ceived letter in which he found his
lost warrants, and in which the show
people expressed themselves as being
pleased to have located them. The
warrants had been found by circus
employe and turned into the ticket
window, and the secretary Of the or.
ganization Immediately recognized
them as the property Of Mr.. Hubbs.
II would be necessary to commit
forgery to cash the warrants, howov.
er, and II is safe bet that Hubbs
would be out $40 had the amount been
represented in gold or bank notes.

THREE ADULTS AND
BABY THROWN INTO
RIVER BUT ESCAPE
Canoe Carrying Mr.. and Mrs.
Hamilton and Guests Is
Overturned.
PRESENCE OF MIND HELPS
Fact That Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton Can
Swim and Hurry to Rescue Ex-
plains Lack of Fatalities.
PRESENCE OF MIND HELPS

But for the presence of mind of
Mr.. and Mrs. W. NJ. Hamilton and an
other lady who is visiting here, an.
other tragedy would have been enact
ed on the Willamette river last even
ing, about 6;15, when a canoe in which
the three persons, together with a
year-and-a-half-old baby, daughter of
the visiting lady, turned over, throw
ing the party into about seven feet of
swiftly running water, just north of
the point of the gravel bar, in the
middle of the river, across from the
foot of State street.
Fortunately for all of the people,
neither Mr.. or Mrs. Hamilton or the
lady grew excited over the mishap,
and all were saved. Mr.. Hamilton who
is local manager of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company, left his
office last evening with Mrs. Hamil-
ton, her guest and the baby, and
boarding canoe at the foot Of State
street, started for Mr. Hamilton S
camp, which is located on the Polk
county side of the river
Caught in Current.
Just as the canoe was rounding the
gravel bar, it was caught in some very
swift running water which flowed be-
tween two large logs that had become
lodged on the bar, with the result that
the frail craft was turned over before
the occupants could move or try to
right it. AS soon as the canoe began
to tip Mr.. Hamilton rolled over the
side into the water. He hoped to steady
the boat by getting out, but when he
came to the surface the canoe was list.
ing badly and water was running over
the side.
While Mrs. Hamilton is a good
swimmer, and perfectly at home in the
water, the other lady can swim but
little. However, the latter did not get
excited and continued to smile when
the boat capsized. The women and the
baby girl were thrown into the water,
and Mr. Hamilton Immediately caught
the baby and made for shore in water
that was over his head, owing to the
boat being carried by the current. He
carried the child to shore and left il in
care of some men who were tending the
pumping station located on the gravel
bar, and went after the women folks.
Cared for Selves,
In the meantime, Mrs. Hamilton had
righted the boat and had her compan-
ion holding onto it safely. The current
had by this time floated the craft and
its burden far out into the river in
deep water, but keeping their heads
and allowing but little of their weight
to bear on the waterlogged canoe,
Mrs. Hamilton and the other lady
succeeded in keeping out of danger
until the canoe had drifted near the

What Lind Asked.


"Imemdiate cessation of fighting
and a definite armistice, scrupulously
observed; security for an an early and
free election; Huerta's pledge that he
would not be a candidate for president
at the next election; agreement by all
Mexican factions to abide by the re-
suit of that election and to cooper
ate in organizing and supporting the
new administration. Mr.. Lind was
told that the nations of the world ex-
pected the United States to be Mexi'
co s nearest friend.
"Mr. Lind executed his mission with
tact, firmness and Judgment. He made
clear not only his visits purpose, but
its spirit; but his proposals were re-
iected in a note, the full text of which
| I lay before you. I am led to believe
they were rejected partly because
the Mexican authorities were grossly
misinformed and misled on two points
They did not realize the friendliness
of Americans, nor the determination
that n solution would be found for
Mexican difficulties, They did not be-
lave that the administration spoke
through Mr.. Lind for the masses Of
the American people. The effect OF
this misunderstanding leaves them iso'
lated and without friends who are able
to effecutally aid them.
$50 long as this misunderstanding
continues we must await their awaken
ing to the truth. We cannot thrust our
GOOD offices on them. The situation
must have time to work itself out
believe only little while may be nee
essary and the actual situation OF the
Mexico City authorities will presently
be revealed.
r.several great governments have
urged the Mexican provisional authorl'
ties to accept our offers. "
The president proceeded to explain al
ionotb that Lind's instructions empha'
sized the disinterestedness Of the Uni
tod States. this country's anxiety tc
preserve Mexican independence and the
entire absence of influence by any per
sonal property or political interest.
