former barge captain. was found
penniless and without food. together
with his wife and their twin babies
eight months old. in a dingy fur
nished room at 21S Spruce street, by
Detective Joseph Coogan recently.
Coogan arrested Runi at the in
stance Of the New York police on the
charge OF grand larceny. Touched by
the sad plight OF the mother and in
fants, Coogan gave Mrs. Ruud money
for food before taking her husband
to the city hall.
At a hearing before Magistrate
Pennock. the prisoner was held to
await requisition papers from New
York.
According to James NJ. waitsman,
private investigator OF New York,
who has been searching for Rund
for some time. he was traced to this
city through sending an expires pack
age from here to New York. Runi.
he said, was formerly a barge cap
tain before connecting himself with a
New York realty company.
While in the employ Of this con-
cern. Weitsman said. Rund induced
Mrs. Laura A Gawacki OF sO4 West

obtained $500 by mortgaging the
property and kept the money.

There is regret at Weston because
the Eastern oregon Normal school
was not sustained. Nor
The Normal is Weston the only
situation. place where such re-
gret is felt There is a
real need for more normal instruction
in Oregon. The little normal at Mon
mouth is by no means filling the need.
The attendance at that school from
eastern oregon is almost nil
As a consequence Of the situation
the supply Of properly trained teach
ers Is by no means up to the demand
The greater number Of those apply
ing for teachers certificates are who'll
ly without normal instruction. These
people get certificates and they ex-
pect good pay. In other words onr
rural schools are becoming filled up
with teachers who do not have the
necessary qualifications and cannot
do the best work. II Is a situation
under which the state loses out. IL
nanciAlly and otherwise.
But there is no need crying over
what cannot be helped. From indi-
cations the Eastern Oregon Normal
is not TO be reopened. Therefore it
is well to make the best Of the stu
alton. For the past two years the
Pendleton high school has had a very
good normal course and it is growing
stronger Since the state will not re-
xtve normal instruction the only al
tentative seems to be to let the high
schools do the work.
Eastern oregon students seeking
normal instruction may come here
and find the same under city con-
troll Our facilities are probably as
good as those at Monmouth and an
eastern student does not have to jour-
ney around Cape Horn in order TO
reach Pendleton, wherein there Is an
advantage over Monmouth.

NEW YORK. Nov. Thirty hun
cry sailors. who had close call to
starvation on the sea, reached New
York aboard the schooner Alice Lord
long overdue from ST. Martens in the
Danish West Indies. The little vessel
had been driven by a hurricane near
Iy 1000 miles from her course.
For five days the only rations her
sailors had were a plate of bean
soup and two or three pancakes each.
The Alice Lord sailed from St Mar
tens with a cargo Of salt. She was
short OF provisions when she put in
to port there. st. Martens was short
too. and all the captain could buy was
beans. OF this he purchased less
than he wanted, but all the townspeo-

Also. amendment This il
seems is causing some
doubt as to just when the law will go
into effect in that state. The bill
adopted was intended to become op-
erative Jan. l. 1915. However. under
the Washington constitution an initi-
ative bill goes into effect 80 days
after the election. Therefore there
is a chance Washington may become

has asked the attorney general for a

Special Cable to The American.

PARIS, March 21.v-I am informed
by persons in the closest touch with
the plans OF the imperial inner coun-
Gil that the Gar has renewed his
command to break up the Russian
revolutionary organizations in foreign
countries.
The Cars Object Is to divert the
worlds attention from secret
scheme to prepare way for revo-
luton in Armenia next autumn which
will be the greatest uprising that this
distracted province has ever known,
and which will result in the Russian
territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT along the
eastern border of the Black Sea. The
immediate outcome of the imperial or
ders to the secret police will be an
other series of sinister outrages
against the liberties of Russians now
being plotted in st. Petersburg.
The campaign began this week,
when a man, whom the police cal
Pavloff was arrested in Servia on
the allegation that he had received
instructions to assassinate the Car.
The unfortunate prisoners real name
is Alexis Vinogradoff Bissell. He Is
not an anarchist, but simply a Social
list, whom the police are desirous OF
getting b.-ck to Russia.

"A few people, who are acquainted
with the Cars anti-Turkish plans,
fear that this species of diversion
will be likely to continue. Russia's
recent warllke preparations are not
directed against Germany. The Ar
menians have been plotting new re-
bellion ever since the first Balkan war
became imminent But, acting under
the advice of the Cars government,
they have waited, Russia found u
impossible to take hand in the
Balkan war because of Austrias hos

ton Is temporarily settled, she re-
CARDS the present time as propitious
for aiding the Armenians and getting
a territorial reward"

ROCKEFELLER
DAUGHTER GOES
TRUST-BUSTING
Gives $4,000 Prize BienuiaIIy,
Which Breaks Up the italian
Opera Monopoly.
BY CAMILLE cIANFARA.
Special Gable to The American.


ROME, March 21.-The keenest
pleasure is shown here at the news
that Mrs. Harold Mccormick, of Chi
cago, formerly Miss Edith Rockefel-
Ter, daughter of John D. Rockefeller,
has established a biennial $4,000 prize
for the best lyric opera, the work of
some youthful composer.
The elation is due to the fact that
the prize, which is the first Of it's
kind in Italy, will bring to light the
efforts of a large number of talented
young composers, who so far have
failed to obtain the good will of the
two music publishing houses con-
trolling the operate market in Italy
the support of which has come to be
regarded as indispensable to the
staging and producing of a new
opera.
Whether Mrs. Mccormick in es-
tablishing the prize intended to break
up the musical trust in Italy, or
merely wished to encourage young
musicians, is not set forth---probably
it is the latter intention--but local
musicians hold that through the lib
crafty of Mrs. Mccormick and Con-
duClOI SdlApelilllll, iillo4Oel4
of both sexes henceforth will have
the chance to make their debut with
out humiliation or paying large sums
to INSCRIPTIONS impresarios
The prize offer also will result in
lettering the condition of the local op-
cratic market, and will mark an end
to the era of fleeing unsuspecting
young American artists. In the flu
ture the owners of good voices will
not be obliged to fight to have their
merits recognized by unprejudiced
audiences.
When Mrs Mccormick visited Par
ma last year, as the guest of Con-
ductor Campanini, on the occasion of
the Verdi centennial celebration, she
first conceived the idea of establish
ing the prize. Signor Campanini
thereupon told her of the many
American girls who had applied to
him for letters of introduction to the
two publishing houses for the pur-
pose of having their voices heard,
with view to a debut on the pro-
fessional stage. He added that he
was powerless to help all and sug-
Eested that practical means might be
devised to enable American girls to
receive a verdict on their voices from
an unprejudiced audience, instead of
some INSCRIPTIONS teacher in league
with dishonest impressario.
BY the terms of the gift the fund
will be administered by committee
selected from among the conserva-
tory professors. These professors,
besides examining the new opera, also
will hear the voices Of all local stu
dents who apply.
Permission for a debut later will
be completely free, as Signor Cam
panini will defray the expenses of
those chosen to sing. All the new
operas are to be produced in the
Parma Theater and each will be sung
several evenings at popular prices.
