GREAT LIFE SAVERS.
EXPERTS Tell How Great Britain Has
Saved Thousands of Lives.

LONDON, May 9.-The present Liber-
al government of Great Britain is one
of the greatest life-saving institutions
in the world, according to John Burns,
members of the cabinet and president
of the board of trade. In the past sew
en- years, since it has been in power, he
declared in a speech at South Shields,
it has saved the lives of more than
half million persons. This is the
way he works it out:
The reduction in the death rate
shows that $4,000 persons are alive
today who according to the ratio for
the preceding seven years, really ought
to be dead. This he ascribes to the
improvement in housing, public health,
and other conditions of life brought
about by the governments progressive
and sympathetic legislation. He points
out also that the total pauperism in
England and Wales has been diminish
ed by % per cent, so that there are
now 17S,000 fewer persons subsisting
at the expense of the taxpayers than
there were eight years ago.

IDAHO SCORED
AGAINST W. S. c.
AT DUAL TRACK MEET AT PULL
MAN SATURDAY, DEFEAT OLD
RIVAL.
Captured the Meet in Score of So tt
62.-IdahO Relay Team Sets
New Record

The first victory in track which the
University of Idaho has won in the
annual meets with Washington State
college since 1906 was scored in the
dual meet Saturday afternoon on the
w. S. G. field when the Idaho team
nosed out in the lead by few points
at the very close of the contest, the
score being 60 to 81. The meet was
one of the most exciting ever seen in
the northwest and was marked by sew
eral sensational features. One of
these and perhaps the one that will be
longest remembered was the relay
race which closed the meet and gave
Idaho the long end of the score.
The Idaho relay team, formed of
Morrison, Loux, Massey and Dingle,
set a new northwest college record at
:25, raising the old northwest mark
by one fifth of a second. The old
record of 1925 1-5 was made in the
meet last year by the same
w. S. c. team that was defeated by
Idaho Saturday.

ALFRED RAYMOND KELLY.

Alfred Raymond Kelly, the last Of
six children of Mr.. and Mrs. George
w. Kelly of this city, died at the home
of his parents Thursday, April 80, 1914
Deceased was born in Hancock Co., ILL.,.
Aug. 20, 1870, and came to Oregon with
his parents in 1872, living in this local
ity until 1894, when he went to Mos
COW, Idaho, and engaged in business,
remaining there until few weeks ago,
when, failing in health, he came home
to receive medical treatment, but was
unable to withstand the ravages of
the disease that had fastened itself
upon him. He was member of the
I. o. 0. F. and Firemen of Moscow,
both societies sending beautiful floral
pieces as tokens of sympathy for his
parents and appreciation of him as a
brother. Mr.. Kelly was a Christian
man and the funeral services, which
were held in the Methodist church
Sunday, May 3rd, Rev. H. N. Aldrich
were very largely attended,
the |. 0. o. F. and Order of Rebekahs
in body and conducting the
service at the grave. In
terment was in the Taylor-Lane GEM

CRISIS AT CHRISTIANA.
Resignation of Radical Member of the
Cabinet Will Stir Up Trouble.

CHRISTIANA, May 11.-A serious
political crisis in Norway has been
precipitated by the resignation of j.
Castberg, minister of commerce and
industry, who has been generally
regarded as the backbone of the radi-
cal cabinet now in power. Castberg
took emphatic issue with his COL
| leagues on certain labor legislation
they are proposing, which he holds to
be not only inimical to the interests
of the people but also unconstitution-
al.
Against the protests of the 23 social
lists in the Storthing, the government
decided in favor of depriving all those
employed in public services, such as
the telegraphs, postoffice, telephones,
railways, etc., of the right of combina
ton and striking, and to introduce
compulsory arbitration for the remain
ing classes of work-people. The So
cialists declare that if this legislation
is passed they will proclaim general
strike. Unable to persuade his col
leagues TO modify their plans, Cast
berg resigned.
The situation is complicated with the
same issue that has arisen in Sweden
the problem of national defense, Pre-
mier Knutson having taken a strong
stand for big increase of armaments.
In this he is opposed not only by the
socialists but by large section of the
other progressive elements. The ex-
listing tension is illustrated by an in
cident growing out of the issue of the
Union of the Social Democratic Youth
of an anti-militarist stamp represent |
ing workman breaking weapon
over his knee, which was circulated |
for sticking on letters and postal pack |
ages.
The government at once forbade the |
through the mails of ar
ticles so ornamented. When the So
cialist organ, Nytid, at Trondjem,
reproduced the stamp in it's
in the form of a large car
toon, the postoffice department refused
o deliver that particular issue to sub

CUP DEFENDER LAUNCHED.
Great Crowd Present When American
Cup Defender Floats.

| BATH, Me-, May 1.-THE sloop De-
fance, which is being built here for
the Tri-City Syndicate as a candidate
for the defense of the Americas cup,
was launched today with impressive
and elaborate ceremonies. The Def
ance was planked with great care by
expert handlers of mahogony from
East Boothbay, Me-, special attention
being paid to strength with an idea Of
minimum weight.
With that idea in view the boat has
an inner planking of Douglas fir, some
of the single streaks being long enough
to reach from stem to stern. Over the
fir has been placed highly polished ma
hogany as an outer skin. The Defiance,
like Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger,
Shamrock ", will have hollow wooden
masts Not only the members of the
syndicate but the citizens of Bath, join
ed in today's festivities upon the
launching Bath citizens took as much
interest in the launching of the defend
er as they used to take at the launch
ing of the big wind-jammers which
made the seaport famous years ago.
A special train brought members of the
syndicate, their friends and a large
contingent from the Boston yacht club,
of which the boats designer, George
Owen, is a member. 1t was planned to
step the mast Immediately after the
launching, on the same tide if possible.

RUSSIA INTERESTED.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 11.-Noth-
ing has been done as yet by the Navy
department in the way of converting
Russian warships into "water-wagons, -
but it is stated that officials are watch
ing the results of Secretary Daniels
recent prohibition order in the Amer
ican navy with the keenest interest.
In the meantime the campaign in
stituted by the Gear against drunken
ness generally in Russia is being car
ried on with exceptional vigor by the
war minister He has called for a
series of conferences between the army
authorities and the Anti-Alcoholism
commission at which special measures
will be decided upon with the, object
of promoting sobriety in the army, es-
specially among officers and cadets at
the military colleges.

COMPANY WON

VALUE OF CONDEMNED LAND NOT
FIXED BY NECESSITIES OF
BUYER.
Idaho Supreme Court In Idaho County
Case Makes Optional Ruling in
Lumber Case.

BOISE, May 11.-(Special.) UNLESS
Walker Richardson and other owners
are willing to accepte $500 for the land
demanded by the Rawson-W Works Lum-
ber company within the next 80 days
the judgment of the trial court will be
reversed and the case sent back for
retrial. This case originated in Idaho
county. 1t is an action instituted
by the lumber company under the en-
inent domain law of the state. The
company has large timber holdings in
the state, but the acreage involved in
the suits is but 1853 and of this 1852
acres belongs to Richardson and the
other defendants.
The case was tried before Judge
Steele of the Second district and
judgment was awarded to the de-
PENDANTS in the sum of $6352. The
lumber company appealed from this
judgment

ure of damages to be awarded was
the value of this particular piece of
land to the corporation. In the su-
preme court opinion written by JUS
tice Sullivan and concurred in by
Chief Justice Ailshie the opposite
view is taken. In the syllabus of the
opinion it is held:
That it was error for the court to
admit evidence showing the value to
the appellant of the land to be con-
demned, since such valuation is not
based on the market value of the land
but on the necessities of appellant.
Compensation for the land taken in
such cases must be reckoned from the |
of what the landowner |
loses by having his property taken and |
not from the benefit the property may
be the party desiring to take it, and it |
is error to admit evidence of the ne
cessities of the condemnor and the |
value of the property to him for the
purpose to which he intends to ap
ply it.

POPE POSTPONES CONSISTORY.
Accedes to the Wishes of the Three
American Cardinals.

ROME, May 11.-From the highest
vatican sources 1t was today learned
that Pope Plus has postponed until the
latter part Of May the calling of con-
sistory In order to permit the atten-
dance of the three American princes of
the church, Cardinal Gibbons, Cardinal
Farley and Cardinal O'Connell The
consistory was to have been held at
Easter and its postponement at that
time caused no little comment as there
are now sixteen vacancies in the Sa-
cred College and the immediate crea-
ton of new cardinals is deemed most
urgent.
Pope Plus Difference to the wishes,
however, of the three American cardi-
nails was Influenced, it is stated, also
largely by his own desire to have them
present at the consistory. The latter
were obliged to come to Rome this
year to make their "ad limina" visits
to the Pope and having. arranged to do
this in May, Pope Plus decided that
months postponement of the consis-
tory should take place for their benefit.
The presence of the three American
princes together with the large number
of cardinals to be created is expected
to give the consistory almost the same
and interest as attached to
that of 1911 when Cardinals Farley,
Falconio and O'Connell were elevated
20 the purple.

MAYOR MITCHELL'S TRIBUTE.

Up Broadway the procession moved
to the city hall. There Mayor Mitchell,
deeply affected, laid a giant wreath
of orchids and bayleaves on one of
the caissons The people of New
York" said the mayor, pay solemn
respect to these heroes who are dead.
To the stricken families the loss is
| irreparable. Nothing we can say or
do can mitigate their sorrow, but to
the American people, these mems 10y
atty and sacrifice give a new inspira
ton. They gave their lives, not to war
but to the extension of peace. The
highest tribute we can pay is a re-
newed pledge of loyalty to the Nation
Moved Slowly Up Broadway.
A detachment of the first artillery
of the New York national guard was
waiting at the battery with II draped
caissons, but it was bluejackets who
lashed the coffins upon them. Finally
the Wyoming's band struck up the
Star Spangled Banner and President
Wilson and Secretary Daniels appear
ed. The procession then started up
Broadway. 1t moved slowly. Follow
ing the Wyoming's and Montana's
massed bands playing "Old Hundred
came the caissons, coffin on each.
President Wilson's carriage, surround
ed by secret service men, followed the
caissonS. After it came the carriages
of Secretary Daniels and a score of
other notables. All hats were raised
and the bells of Old Trinity and St.
Paul's churches tolled as the cortege
passed.
President Deeply Touched.
The navy yard ceremonies were
most impressive. Following a tribute
by Secretary Daniels, President Will
son said in part: Il know the feel
ings of all who stand about me, of
the whole nation at this hour. They
are feelings which are not express
able in oratory. For myself l have
a singular mixture of feelings. The
uppermost feeling is one of profound
grief that these lads had to go to
their death. Next to this is the feel
ing of pride, and if l may say so, a
touch of envy for those who were per-
nitted to do their duty so quietly
and so nobly."
Taps Sounded at Noon.
1t was nearly noon when a buglar
sounded taps. President Wilson, DR..
5rayson and Private Secretary Tum-
ilty entered automobiles and were
aiken to Manhattan The coffins re-
NAMED 80 minutes at the parade
grounds and then taken to the naval
preliminary to being sent
