EXPECT KAISER TO
REPUDIATE ACT
Immediate Settlement for Sink
ing Frye Looked For.
National VieDs in Accord as U. S.
and Berlin Agree on Ques- =
ton of Food Shipments. q

Washington, D. C.-Germany prob
ably will repudiate the action of the
captain of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich in
sinking the American ship, William P.
Frye, and make reparation for the loss
of the vessel and cargo, in the opinion
of German officials here.
Inasmuch as the United States and
Germany are in accordance OF, the
question of shipping foodstuffs from a
neutral country to civilians in belliger-
ent territory, no issue is expected to
be raised by Germany over the right
of the cargo to be sent to its destina-
tion without interruption.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, after visit to the State
department, indicated that he believed
the case would be settled without
much difficulty. He told Counsellor
Lansing what the captain of the Prinz
Eitel had told Captain Boy-Ed, the
naval attache of the German embassy,
as to the sinking of the American ship,
but the ambassador reserved his opin-
ion on the action of the commander,
saying he had no instructions from his
government.
Captain Thierichens, of the Prinz
Eitel, informed Captain Boy-Ed that
his only guide while at sea and for
months out of communication with his
government was the declaration of
London. This would permit the
destruction of neutral prize if car
rying cargo more than half of
which could be proved to be contra
band, provided it was impossible to
take the vessel to home port without
endangering the captor warship.

gineers figured that these obstacles
can be removed with little difficulty or
expense. They had expected such be-
havior by nature.
One important piece of work that
remains to be done between Rainier
and Goble is at Prospect Point, where
the highway must be carried through
solid body of rock about 1900 feet
long. Part of the necessary blasting
has been done. Major Bowlby esti-
mates that it will require less than
$4,000 to do the rest of the work on the
strip of highway.
The roadway for the entire distance
covered by the party is fully "a feet
wide, in accordance with contract
specifications. All the fills and all the
culverts in the Rainier -Goble link have
been put in place. AS the highway
commission never was flush with
money on the Columbia county job, the
work is not finished with the same
nicely as in Multnomah county, but 1t
is every bit as substantial and ser
viceable. The scenic advantages are
equal to those of the highway through
Multnomah county, with the exception
that there are not SO many picturesque
waterfalls.

British Cruiser Is Sunk
by German Torpedo

London -- The admiralty announces
the loss Of the auxiliary cruiser Bayanc
while the vessel was engaged in patro
duty. In its statement of the disaster,
the admiralty says:
"0n March IL wreckage of the
Bayano and bodies were discovered,
and circumstances point to her having
been sunk by an enemy torpedo.
Eight officers and 18 men were
rescued, but it is feared the remainder
OF the crew were lost.
"The captain of the Belfast steamer
Castlereagh reports passing Thursday
morning quantity of wreckage and
dead bodies floating in life belts. He
attempted to search for possible sur
vivors, but was prevented by the pres
ence Of an enemy submarine, which
gave chase for 20 minutes.
The Bayano was comparatively
new steamer. She was built at Glas-
gov in 1918 and was owned by Elder
4 Fyffes before she was taken over by
the British government and fitted out
as an auxiliary cruiser.
The Bayano was of $500 tons dis
placement and 416 feet long.

Highway May Open to
Astoria by July Fourth

Rainier - Work on the Columbia
Highway through Columbia county
will be resumed before the end of the
month. Major Bowlby, state highway
engineer, and party of his associ-
ates, together with number of
Rainier citizens, walked over that por-
tion of the incompleted highway be-
tween Rainier and Goble and came to
the conclusion that by beginning work
as soon as the men and material can
be assembled it will be possible to have
the road open for traffic all the way
from Portland to Astoria before July
4.
The state highway engineer will
have available this spring about $780,
900 of the Columbia county road fund
for use on the highway that was grad
ed last year and that is unfinished.
This he believes will go far toward
completing the road through this coun-
ty.
The party that hiked over the Raj
nier-Goble link found that the graded
roadway had stood the winter well.
At few points the hillside had slid
down perceptibly and covered por-
tion of the graded surface. The en-

Mrs. John d. Rockefeller
Dies at COuntTY Home

Tarrytown, N. " Mrs. John d.
Rockefeller, wife of the richest man
in the world, died suddenly Friday in
her 18th year at the Rockefeller coun-
try home in Pocantico Hills. She had
been an invalid for year, but during
the last few months her health had so
improved that the rapid turn for the
worse which her illness took was not
expected by her family.
For this reason it happened that the
only relative at her bedside when she
died at 1920 a. m. was her sister,
Miss Lucy M. Spelman.
Her husband and her son, John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., were at Ormond,
Fla, where they went--Mr. Rookie
feller, Sr., on February % and his son
last Friday, accompanied by his wife
believing that Mrs. Rockefeller was
growing better. Informed over the
long-distance telephone early in the
day of the critical change in her con-
dition, they left at once for Jackson
vile, where arrangements were quick
ly made for special train to bring
them to New York. They were ex-
pected to arrive here some time Sun
day night.
Mrs. E. Parmalee Prentice, one of
Mrs. Rockefeller's two daughters, was
summoned from New York, but failed
to arrive before her mother died. The
other daughter, Mrs. Harold Fowler
Mccormick, of Chicago, is in Switzer-
land, recuperating from an illness.
Her husband was about to sail to join
her, but cancelled his passage and
came here at once.

AUiat0r Lincoln Beachey
Plunges to Death in Bay

San Francisco-The spectacular ca
reer of Lincoln Beachey, one of the
most daring of American aviators, was
ended Sunday when he fell to his
death at the Panama-Pacifc exposition
in plain sight of thousands of specta-
tors.
Beachey, was attempting his second
flight of the day at 3:45 p. m. when
the fatal accident occurred. Having
previously electrified the crowd with
series of aerial somersaults, the in
trepid airman sought to add an addi-
tional thrill by making one of the SEN
sational perpendicular drops which
featured his flights. The accident was
attributed to the fact that Beachey
entrusted his life for the first time to
new monoplane and an exceptionally
large crowd was attracted to see
whether he would attempt the same
breath-taking stunts in the new ma
chine that had made him and his trim
little biplane famous.
On the first flight of the day every
thing worked properly and all the
familiar evolutions were indulged in
with the exception of the perpendicu-
lar drop. This Beachey had saved for
the final climax and this, too, proved
too much for the fabric of the mono
plane.
The machine was at an altitude of
about 5000 feet when Beachey shut off
his power. For several hundred feet
the machine dropped head on for the
earth and then the aviator grasped his
control levers to adjust the planes for
the graceful descent which character
lied his previous flights.
At this instant the wings crumpled
like collapsed umbrella and the aero
plane, turning over and over in its
fall, plunged into San Francisco bay,
missing vessel lying at the
government transport docks.

u, s. Sends TlDO Var
ships to Mexican Coast

Washington, d. C.-American citi-
zens have again been warned to leave
Mexico City, in view of the critical
situation that has arisen there. Sec
retary Bryan announced that trans
portation facilities would be sought
for as many as desired to leave.
The battleship Georgia and the ar
mored cruiser Washington were or
dered by Secretary Daniels, after con-
ferences with President Wilson, to
proceed at once to Vera Cruz.
Consular messages from Vera Cruz
said it was reported there that the
evacuation of Mexico City began
Wednesday night.
Enrique G. Llorente, Washington
representative of General Villa, re-
ceived message saying the Zapatista
forces occupied Mexico City immedi-
ately on the evacuation by Obregon's
troops.
Word came from American Consul
Silliman that at a personal interview
with General Carranza he has deliv-
cred to the latter the formal note from
the United States government, de-
manding an improvement in conditions
for foreigners in the territory under
his control.
Carranza promised a written reply
soon, but said orally that General
Obregon had not prevented food sup
plies from reaching the City of Mex
leo, nor had he sent the available sup
plies from the capital.
These were the principal develop
ments in the Mexican situation, the
Importance of which overshadowed in
official Washington interest in the Eu-
ropean war.
Although the contents of the Amer
ican note to Carranza were not re-
vealed, its emphatic tone impressed
members of the diplomatic corps that
serious consequences would ensue if
Carranza failed to heed the represent
ations made to him.

American Citizen Slain
by Zapata In Mexico City

Washington, ID. G. --- Encouraging
advices telling Of the relief of the foot
famine In Mexico City through the
evacuation Of the capital by the forces
OF General Obregon, the Carranza
commander. were beclouded Saturday
by the news that on the entry of the
Zapata troops, John b. McManus, an
American citizen, was murdered shot
down In his home, the door Of which
had been sealed with the coat Of arms
OF the United States, and over which
flew the Stars and Stripes.
Instant demand was made by the
Brazilian minister on behalf Of the
United States government for the pun
ishment Of those guilty Of the crime.
After conference between Presi-
dent Wilson and his cabinet, Secretary
Bryan telegraphed the Brazilian min
lister approving Of the action he had
taken and adding a demand for repara-
tion TO the family of the victim. The
minister was instructed TO insist on
the early punishment of the offenders
and to impress on the post commander
at Mexico City-General Salazar-the
seriousness with which the American
government viewed the occurrence.
The general-who Is not related to the
independent chief who has been con-
Quoting revolutionary movement In
Northern Mexico ainca aacana from
American custody last year-promised
hat the demands Of the United States
would be met promptly.

Saving of OUer Half
Million Dollars ShOun

Salem - Notwithstanding the higI
cost Of living and the Increasing de
mands Of the state because Of growing
population and wealth, the recent
legislature made net saving in appro
priations over the preceding one oi
$644, 0.05, according to a summary
Of Secretary Of State Olcott.
The figures show total saving un.
der existing laws for the biennium oi
1915 and 1916 over the biennium OF
1918 and 1914 of 1881, ,313.41. For
1918 and 1914 the appropriations by
the legislature netted $3.50, 1876.
and for 1915 and 1916 80, 965, 615.7 20.
The total appropriations under existing
laws for 1918 and 1914 were SO, 691, :
962.0s, and for 1916 and 1916 $780,
648.67.
Another important feature of the
saving is that several laws passed at
the session of 1918 provided for appro-
priations for only one year, notably
the workmen's compensation act and
the act creating the state highway
fund. The appropriations for these
for the current biennium
for that reason total about $500, 900
more.
While the saving over the former
biennium is somewhat less than lead
ers Of the recent house and senate fig
ured 1t would be, members of the ses-
sion in speaking of it express gratifi-
cation and declare that the campaign
pledges of the members for economy
have been kept.

Seed Sought for Contest.

klamath Falls-The Klamath Water
Users association, with President
Abel Ady and County Agriculturist
H.R. Glaisyer have begun securing the
best seed possible for distribution
among the children of the water users
on the Klamath project who wish to
enter the contests announced by the
association recently.
The seed grain will be all of the
same variety and the best obtainable.
The contest is in the way of growing
the best vegetables and grains. To
the boy or girl growing the best potato
crop on sixteenth of an acre will be
given the choice of three colts. The
second best grower will have second
choice of the colts and the other colt
will go to the third best grower.

secretary OF state, who has had charg,
OF totaling the appropriations of sew
eral sessions, declared that the worl
OF this one was the most difficult il
his experience. He and an assistant
have labored for more than week or
the numerous bills, and, after check.
ing and rechecking, he announced that
he was confident no mistakes had been
made.
Heterofore, because of a system OF
grouping departments fn appropriation
bills, there were rarely more than five
or six such measures. Because un-
necessary appropriations had been
made In the closing hours of former
sessions by log-rolling and tacking on
items in appropriation bills, separate
appropriation measures were passed
for almost all purposes at the recent
session. The new system virtually
gave the governor the single veto pow
er.
The millage tax appropriations and
one or two others are estimated in the
summary Of the secretary of state, but
it is not thought they will be far from
actual figures. That for the Oregon
Agricultural College of about $780,
900, next to the appropriation for the
State Insane Asylum, is the largest.
The University of Oregon will receive
about $570, 900 during the biennium.
Because of the creation of Circuit
judgeships the appropriation for that
service has grown to 5000, 900 while
for district attorneys and assistants it
is S136, 400.

prizes of $16,40 The big days of
the Fair from the racing standpoint
will be Salem day and Portland day.
There will be 3-year-old pace, a fu-
turity event, with purse of $500,
Salem day. Purses for this race will
go to the winners of the best two in
three heats. The 2:08 pace, for a
$4,000 purse, also will be run Wednes-
day. 1t will be run in five heats.
The 2:30 trot is scheduled for Salem
