Two Athletes Drowned When
Canoe Hits Eddy in Willamette

Portland, Ore.-Two were drowned
and six other narrowly escaped drown
ing when Saiem-to- Portland canoeing
party Of the Portland Rowing club
struck the whirling rapids and eddies
off Rock Island in the Willamette
river five miles south Of Oregon City
Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
The drowned were Charles Kirk
patrick, $50 East Madison street, 20
years of age, clerk in the clearing
house at the First National bank, and
Harry Gammie, S3 years Of age, pay
ing teller in Ladd & Tilton bank, and
an athlete Of considerable repute,
whose residence was 348 East Six,
teenth North. Both were athletes OF
the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club
and expert canoeists of the Portland
Rowing club.
The accident came at sudden turn
ing'point in heretofore uneventful
trip down the Willamette from Salem.
About midway through the eddies
the canoe in which Gammie and Kirk
patrick were struggling suddenly
turned over and dumped them into the
river. Both began a desperate strug-
gle against the water, but their efforts
seemed to be of little avail, the water
being swift and the undercurrent
tremendous.

Of Arsenic Used In Food.

Chicago do not wish to create a
panic In Chicago" was the cryptic
reply of First Deputy Superintendent
Of Police Schuettler, when asked Mon
day to give his views Of the plot to
poison several hundred prominent Chi
cagoans.
Schuettler spoke testify and In the
tone Of a man who Ii harboring the
secret Of great calamity. At the
same time he refused to admit that he
believed Jean Crones, missing assist
ant chef at the University Club, who
served the banquet, was the only man
who figured In the plot.
Two hundred Of the distinguished
list Of 400 banqueters who attended a
dinner given to Chicago's new Catholic
archbishop, Most Reverend George
William Munderlein, were taken Ill Of
poisoning after the soup course. The
archbishop did not partake Of the soup,
nor did Governor Dunno, who was
among those present.
Indications are that Schuettler ID
hot on Crones' trail and Is gathering
evidence of plot In which Crones was
only unit among a gang Of anarchists
who planned TO kill the distinguished
group Of men. This was borne out by
the activities Of his staff Of detec-
tiyes. -
Two hours before Health Commits

Off. o. Tonney. city chemist, that
3.7 grains Of white oxide Of arsenic
had been found in an analysis Of a
pint Of the poisoned soup served at the
banquet, two anarchists were taken
into Schuettler's Office.
Both of the anarchists were ques-
toned for more than an hour. When
they had gone Schuettler, in an inter-
view, admitted he had reports on
Crones for several months. He knows
the meetings Crones has attended,
what he said at those gatherings. He
admitted Crones was a red hot dyed

Crones' associates, that his detectives
have questioned these men.

For destroying lice there is no better

and owls, which are enemies Of these
rodents, are continuously persecuted.
The mice live upon roots, seeds, sue
cuIent vegetation and bark Of young
trees. and are very destructive to
sweet potatoes and other tubers. as
well as to trees and shrubs.
The most practical method OF con-
trolling this pest is by poisoning.
Sweet potatoes cut into small pieces
have proved to be the most effective
bait. They are prepared as follows:
Sweet potato bait-Cut sweet pota-
toes into pieces about the size of large
grapes. Moisten four quarts Of these
and drain OF excess moisture. Slowly
sift over them one-eighth OF an ounce
of powdered strychnine (alkaloid).
using pepper box or salt shaker for
the purpose. and stir constantly to dis
tribute the poison evenly.
One or two pieces Of the poisoned
sweet potatoes should be dropped into
the tunnels through the natural open
ings, or through openings made with
a stick. A systematic use of this
poison invariably results in an almost
complete determination OF pine mice.
These pests are also easily trapped, but
owing to the extra time and labor re-
quired, this method does not compare
favorably with poisoning.

increase of 10000 over the present
strength of the National Guard. They
would form separate branch Of the

act would take effect July ], 1916. +
The bill provides also for organiza-
tion Of junior guard, composed Of
boys between IL and Is, available for
active service only after every other
class Of militia had been called out.
The Juniors would be divided into
two classes, cadets, or those of Is and
above, and cadets of the second class,
those less than is.
An enlistment contract would be re-
quired under which the soldier would
bind himself to serve the Federal gov
ernment, within or without the con-
tinental limits of the United States"
for period of two years or until dis
charged, should the Guard be called
out at any time during his three-year
enlistment period.
