CITY ID PROVIDE PUBLIC DEFENDER
Accused Persons Unable To Hire At. torneys Will Have Case Defend.
 cd By the City.

PORTLAND, Ore, March 6.-The Portland city council has passed an ordinance creating the office of Pub lie Defender, an official whose duty will be to defend accused persons who are unable to secure the ser vices of attorneys to defend them be- fore the courts.
 The system of having a defender as well as a prosecutor has been tried out in Los Angeles and number of other cities and has been found to work to advantage in securing jus tice to all concerned. It. has long been recognized fact that while the law was represented by the ablest counsel to prosecute for alleged vio- lations hat the accused, if poor, was handicapped in securing counsel and was generally represented by minor legal light appointed by the court.

BANK ROBBERS
 RUN ID EARTH
Two Men Arrested In Chicago for Robbery Committed On Coast
 In the Fall of 1911.

CHICAGO, March 6.-Two men, be. lieved to be part of the gang of ban. dits who robbed the New Westmin. 'ster bank, in British Columbia, were arrested here today. The bank was robbed in September, 1911, and $317,- 900 was secured by the robbers. A large portion of the banks cash was recovered under a sidewalk near the bank where it had been secreted by the thieves.
 Canadian detectives have been trail ing the two men for months and dur ing that time have crossed the con- tinent several times but it was not until they arrived in Chicago that evi- dence directly connecting them with the bank robbery could be secured.
 The men were apprehended by Chi cago police officials and the Canadian authorities have already asked for re- quisitions to take the suspects to British Columbia for trial. One mem Der of the gang, who was also cap. tured in Chicago nearly two years ago, was convicted and is now serv- ing a sentence for the crime.

RAILROADS PAID

Low Freight Rates In West Impaired Credit of Roads Declares
 the Managers.

CHICAGO, March 6.-Representa' tives of the western railroads appear, ing before the Interstate Commerce Commission hearings in regard to the railroads west of the Mississippi being permitted to increase their freight rates, brought out a new phase of the question yesterday.
 The managers of several roads de- clared that the present low rates had served to injure the credit of the railroads and had compelled them to pay ruinous rates of interest. The earnings of the roads were not suffi- cient to permit of the bondholders re- ceiving a fair return on their invest ments and maintain the equipment up to standard
 Annual reports of the Pressed Steel Car company since 1907 were submitted showing that the western roads had ordered less than fifty per cent. of the number of new freight cars which were required in the sev- en years preceding that time.

LONDON, March 6.-Reports from Paris, Berlin and Petrograd are very conflicting in regard to the fighting during the past twenty.four hours. The night report from Paris claims French successes in Lorraine near the border, in the Champagne country, ill the Argonne district and near Perthes, while the Berlin reports state that attacks of the French were easily re- pulsed.

Raotime Not lmmortal!

Modern ragtime was soundly scored and old familiar songs were lauded in talk given by Mrs. Rose Morgan, of Columbia University, to the peo- pie attending Farmers Week at the Ohio State University.
 To-day there is popular song call ed 'Tipperary,' said Mrs. Morgan But it is not nearly so popular as it was two months ago. It hasn't the material to last, and it will go witfs the rest" Mrs. Morgan compared this song with the standard Irisl song, Killarney" and "The Girl Left Behind Me-" saying that thil last song was two centuries old. ant "Tipperary" only two months old.
 "We made test in universit in New York, and, out of ninety-fou teachers, there were only six wh knew America our national song, continued Mrs. Morgan. in telling the ignorance of Americans of the national anthem.
 Mrs. Morgan named five America songs which are best known abroa. ! They are "Old Kentucky Home.""O ! Black Joe," Nellie Was a Lady '. "Old Dog Tray" and "Suwanee Ri t er." -

ID HAVE MILITARY COURSE Regarded As Part of Plan To Train Officers and Men for Future
 Emergency.

PRINCETON, March 6.-The presi- dent of Princeton College believes that students of all colleges should receive military training which would enable them to be useful to army of fcers should occasion arise when the States would require large army to be mobilized on short mo- tice, and a course of military instruc- tion under retired army officers will be started at Princeton on April 1.
 The president declares that aside from the fact that the United States would be woefully short of officers should a big army be required that the military training and exercises will be highly beneficial for the stu dents. It is believed that nearly all colleges will adopt the same course as Princeton and it is hoped the gov ernment will avail itself of the plan of keeping competent retired officers as instructors at government expense.

LINER BURNING
 0N THE ATLANTIC
Steamers Are Racing To Assistance of La Touraine Six Hundred
 Miles Out To Sea.

LONDON, March 6.-The French liner La Touraine, of the French line from New York to Havre, is report ed on fire and five steamers are rae. ing to meet her and rescue the pas sengers. The liner was six hundred miles off the coast of Ireland when the alarm was sent out by wireless but 1t was believed that the fire could be confined until assistance reached her.
 La T ouraine has eighty-four pas sengers and a full crew numbering more than one hundred. She carries five thousand cases of ammunition destined for the French army among her cargo but the wireless message stated that the fire originated in a distant part of the hold from where the ammunition was stored.
 It is feared that the French liner is the victim of German sympathizers who may have been able to escape the vigilance of the American customs officials in New York. and have fired the vessel in the hopes Of destroying the ammunition.

RAILROAD NEWS ALL GUESSW0RK
Associated and American Press Send Contradictory Reports Out
 From Washington.

SEATTLE, March 6-Press dis patches from Washington concerning the status of the Alaska railroad are very conflicting. The Associated Press reiterates the statement that the report of the engineering commis- sion was delivered to President Will son more than a week ago and that he will decide the route at an early date.
 The American Press Association on Thursday, March 4. reported that the report of the engineering commission had been made to Secretary Lane af. ter his return from San Francisco and that he would consider the re- port for a few days before taking it up with President Wilson.
 The advocates of the different routes still have cause for hope that their choice will not be overlooked. There is no discounting the fact that the impression prevails in New York that Seward will be the choice of President Wilson and that the rail- road will go from Resurrection Bay unless Secretary Lane and the en- gineers report show decided advan- tages by other routes.

ASKS SUGAR TRUST
 TO PAY POSTAGE
Government Starts Suit To Collect On Steal Which Threatened To
 Wreck Lodge.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The gov. ernment has started suit against the United States Beet Sugar industry for $57,000 postage due on pamphlets which were fraudulently sent through the mails on Senator Lodges congress sional frank. The matter has been under negotiation for long time but the sugar kings who prof1ted by the sharp practice have refused to pay and the government has now resorted to the courts in an effort to collect it's just dues.
 The postage steal" as the deal was known throughout the country, ere ated a sensation and for a time threatened to impair the political for. tunes of Senator Lodge. who was made the unwtitting tool of the agents of the Sugar Trust During the discus. sion on the tariff Senator Lodge, who was opposed to any reduction of tar. if. delivered a speech in the Senate which was regarded as classic.
 Senator Lodge asked leave to in- sert figures in the speech when printed in the Congressional Record although the figures had not been read in the Senate. This is usual custom and was granted. The figures had been prepared for Senator Lodge by an agent of the Sugar Trust and the matter which appeared in the Congressional Record was slightly changed, making it an advertising pamphlet for the trust. Millions of copies were printed at the govern ment printing office at the govern ment's expense and sent broadcast over the country free of postage. The government printing office employees believed the pamphlets were being sent out at the request of Senator Lodge as a campaign against the reduction of the tariff, especially on sugar.

 MEXICO CITY
Gen. Obregon Refuses To Permit of Foreigners Aiding Starving
 PopuIace of City.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The sit uation in Mexico City is regarded as extremely critical owing to General Obregon, representing Provisional President Carranza, having refused to accept a fund raised by foreign resi- dents to provide for the starving na- tives of the city.
 Gen. Obregon has declared that he will accept no assistance from for eigners nor will he accept any sug. gestions from them. The natives are starving and are footing the stores and residences of foreigners as we'll as those of natives. The railroads leading from the city have been talk en over by Gen. Obregon and are em. ployed on official business only.
 The foreigners in Mexico City sug' gested to Gen. Carranza in Vera Cruz that he permit of an allied relief ex- petition to Mexico City in order that non-combatants might be saved from starvation and pestilence as the city water works have been put out of commission and fever is threatened. Carranza retired the foreign diplo. mats to Gen. Obregon. who. he de- clared, had his permission to burn the city if he wished, as he was in supreme command there.
