Managers of the old school used
to contend that one real actor and

minstrel show, and that the public
would accept them. History proves
the truth Of their contention, for
the public did accept such Organiza-
lions; whether or not the public

argument.
But there have been vast changes
in the last few years. The day of
the one man show is over. The

form excellence.
Mistakes are to the wise man but
stepping stones to success. The

Former President Taft Declines Re-
quest for Interview.

PORTLAND, Greg. August 24.-For-
mer President Taft declined to receive
party of Congressional Union suf-
fragists, at his hotel here yesterday, it
became known today. Mrs. Lee Daven-
port of this city led the delegation,
which was composed of about a dozen
women.
At the hotel they sent word to Mr..
Taft that they desired to lay before
him their propaganda. Mr.. Taft sent
back an answer, written in his own
hand, and couched in courteous terms,
saying his schedule of engagements
for the day was full, and that he could
not possibly receive them. Mrs. Daven-
port sent up an insistent reply, but the
former President stood firm.
The former President, addressing the
Washington and Oregon State Bar As
ISOLATION, in joint session here today,
turned aside from a technical discus
sion to say that what can be done be-
tween states in settling disputes with
out war can be done among nations.
European countries, he predicted,
would be particularly in a receptive
mood at the end of this war, and he
outlined a. peace plan to be presente ed
to them covering "justiciable ques-
tons"

SAN RAFAEL. Cal, August 24-Abra-
ham Ruef, under fourteen years sem
tence for offering a bride, left San
Quentin penitentiary on parole yesterday
departing by a side gate while photog
raphers and reporters stood about the
main gate in the rain.
The former political boss of San
Francisco had served four years and
FIVE months and fifteen days of his sen
tence, which had been cut by good be-
havior to eight years and ten months.
Besides this time he was three years in
jail following his indictment in 1906
He was the only one of all the men in
dicted in the San Francisco graft scan
dal of that time to serve time in the
penitentiary. Some others were con-
victed, but escaped on points of law.
Ruef will spend ninety days on his
ranch near Ukiah, Cal, at his own re-
quest, because a city election is pend
ing in San Francisco in which he does
not care to participate. Later he will
enter the real estate business. He is
said to be worth $450.000 or more.

down five German aeroplanes before
he was compelled by an accident to his
motor to land on Swiss territory last
June. Since his escape from Switzer-

When first informed in Switzerland,
Gilbert gave mis- word not to attempt
to escape. The enforced idLeness preyed
on his mind. however. and he took back
his promise and seized the first oppor-
tunity to get away. With the assist
ance of friend who provided a dis
guise, he made his way to Lucern.e and

miles away from the High Life road

only one that has a pest of "fiappers,'
either. if one may judge by the con-
tents of some of the military cars here.
1t is an odd mechanical fact that the
more fappery the f1appers the higher
the speed. To make up for. the short
age of motor cars there is an overplus
of horse cabs. 1t is merely, of course,
that the regular supply of cabbies has

said it was worth 100000 francs.
Allowing for exaggeration, it is still a
very valuable table and of unques-

After a period spent in Rome I find
that one thought, and one thought

statement of the German Military At

which amply outweighs the relative

succeed, there is a probability at

Quits at End Of Season to Take
Charge of Own Business.


Pittsburg. Sept. Sired Clarke
for sixteen years manager of the
Pittsburg Pirates, will sever his con
nection with baseball at the end OF
the season. His resignation was hand
ed to President Barney Dreyfuss this
morning and the latter accepted it.
Clarke said that the main reason OF
his quitting was the fact that his in
terests in Kansas demanded his un-
divided attention
Clarke wanted to win another pen
nant before leaving Pittsburg, but
has come to the conclusion that it
can't be done without complete re-
organization of men and methods,
which would take too long for him to
remain away from his business. He
came here in 1900 when lhe Louis.
Vile and Pittsburg clubs were com
bined by Mr.. Dreyfuss, who owned
the Kentucky club and bought con
trolling interest in the Pittsburg
club that year In 1901, 1902 and
1903 Clarke won the National League
pennant and again in 1909, in which
year he won the worlds champion
ship, For the greater part of his
stay here Clarke played in the out
field. He Will remain until the close
OF the present season.
