CASTOR I A , For Infant ud Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears ths Signature AFTER FIVE SUITS LOS ANGELES. Dec. 23. A final decree of divorce was granted today to Howard S. Reed, millionaire club man. His wife was Lillian Cole, a noted Denver beauty. They were mar ried four years, and Mrs. Reed filed four suits for divorce, but each time a reconciliation followed and the cou., pie started on a new honeymoon. The schedule by dates runs as fol lows: ' 1907 Married. Honeymoon No. 1. Suit No. 1, by Mrs. Reed. Reconcilia tion and suit dropped. 1908 Honeymoon No. 2. Suit No. 2, by Mra. Reed.

(Special.) On the ground that the referendum peti tions ngninst the appropriation made by the Legislature for the University of Oregon lacked a sufficient number of valid signatures and that some of the parties seeking to maintain the legality of the petitions are not In court with clean hands. Judge Gallo way, department No. 2 of the Circuit Court, today rendered a decree mak ing tha injunction granted on behalf of J. C. Friendly. against the Secre tary of State to prevent the placing of the petitions on the ballot at the next general election, permanent. In part the court says: "The court holds that Inasmuch a the petitions showed evidence of hav ing been mutilated and torn apart when flltd and that the law requires the same to be filed In the same form as circulated, the oral testimony of H. J. Parklson could not be enter tained relative to the present condi tion of the petitions, when they are surrounded with such a mas of fraud, charged and confessed In the case, and bv one at least Indirectly If not directly, responsible for the fraud. Therefore, the court contends, tnat the part of the petition having no form and containing over 5.000 signa tures. Is void, pure and simple. The fact that admision were made mat S,f35 names were fraudulent, prompts tha pnurt to hold in favor of the plain tiff, even had no other frauds been found In the case." Considering the moral side of the case, Judge Galloway says: "The right of petition, reserved by constitution to refer to a vote of the people ?ny measure passed by the Legislature, was not Intended to be used to settle or adjust private and local grievances; but contemplate the right to express the honest senti ment of the disaffected voters upon public matters only. The evidence In this case discloses that the petition originated In the case In a local neigh borhood contention and spite; that in carrying Into effect this unwortny mo tive, means were employed to obtain signatures upon a money basis, and further the personal spleen and re venge by the committee of Cottage Grove citizens. An order was first given H. J. Parkinson to procure 3,000 names, for which he was to be paid at the rate of seven cents for each name so secured, tach on two petition referring to acts of the Leg islature in this cause. This dealer In names for a price procured agents for which he vouched to go out into the street and the most questionable places In Portland to procure names. otne ot these agents went under as sumed names, and In this manner made the affidavits required to verify the petition. Long before this peti tion was Died, Mr. Parkinson was al vised that a large part of the nanu handtd to hlra by his agenta werj flctitioua and fraudulent. He ao no tified his principal at Cottage Grove and agreed to place GOO to 800 names, admitted to be fraudulent, among those delivered by him to tha com mittee of that placw. "A dispute arose among the gentle men who orlgiiiHied the petition as to what should be ione with it, and between some of tr.e committee ana Mr. Parkinson as to the manner in which he should perform his contract. Tnere ts some testimony to the effect that he and Mr. Abrama filed the orig Inal 3.000 names without taking out the 600 or 800 fraudulent na:nes, but Mr. Parkinson s.nr that he did not file them."

EIGHTEEN MONTHS' SENTENCE GIVEN Punishment Of Guard Made Lighter By Court After State ment of Convicted ' Promoter. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22. Dr. John Grant Lyman, get-rich-quick pro moter, today was sentenced by Judge Van Fleet in the United States Dis trict Court to serve eighteen months in the Federal penitentiary on Mc Neil's Island. The recreant guard, Charles M. Courtright, who permitted Lyman to escape from Providence Hospital and was Indicted with him for conspiracy, was sentenced to six months In the Alameda county jail. Crluging and quite crushed, Court right stood .mute with bowed head to receive his sentence. The court, ask ing the formal question as to whether the prisoner bad any reason to give why sentence should not be passed upon him, received no reply. But Ly man arose and said: "Your honor, may I be permitted to say a word for him?" His voice was low and husky, slight ly vibrant with emotion such as Ly man never has displayed before in court. Receiving the permission of the court, he went on: w "This man Courtright had absolutely no knowl edge of my intention to escape." Tho many-sided nature of this strange man seemed to take on a degree of dignity as he stood there, mournful, somewhat staggered for the first time, facing a long term for him self, and pleading with the court for leniency toward the shrinking man whom he had tricked into aiding his escape. ' Clearly taken by surprise, Judge Van Fleet was silent for a moment and then said: "I shall take tnat Into consideration In passing sentence of Courtright, and I shall remember It In sentencing you." ' Y LACK! IN BOTH PARTIES WASHINGTON. Oec. 22. (Spec ial.) The Republican leaders are in dustriously seeking harmony, and that most eminent of all pacifiers. Senator Crane, of Massachusetts, Is passing the soothing syrup around very In dustriously. He has not been able to administer much of It to the insur gents, but the later would welcome some physician who could heal the rents in their own ranks. The Dem ocratic Insurgents are not entirely of one mind either, and they are anxious that someone should help them to make peace with honor with the var ious factions of their party, although they would scorn to admit that they are even looking askance at the olive branch. Perhaps, as the Gridiron wits bad It, anyone who bears the olive branch nowadays Is a goose and not a dove. It seems a little early in the season to look for harmony.

I HOWEVER, WONT ft PRESENT Carnegie Declines To Make State ment Although Topic He Thought Was To Be Paramount Is Sidetracked. NEW YORK, Dec. 27. Although President Taft U to be the guest of honor and Andrew Carnegie I dowa on the program as honorary president, tho pending arbitration treaties with Ginat Britain and France for whlc.i Mr. Taft has labored and which Mr. Carnegie has Indorsed are not offici ally to be brought before the clti t.inf p'hce banquet to be held at the Waldorf-Astoria Saturday night. At least this Is the plan of a ma jority of the execn'.'ve committee -i voiced today by Millard J. Bloomer, the executive secretary. The com mittee bad reached this decision, said Bloomer, after be had Informed Its members of the receipt several weeks ago of a letter from Theodore Roose velt declining, as an opponent of cer tain phases of the pending treaties, to attend the banquet. Mr. Bloomer then laid the question before the committee and it was de cided, he said, that the sense of the body was that it was not the specific purpose of the dinner to Indorse the agreements. With this understanding Mr. Bloom er called on Colonel Roosevelt again today and again the Colonel declined flatly to attend. ' "Absolutely no," he said. "I shall attend no dinner." Colonel Roosevelt added that the correspondence between himself ana Mr. Bloomer on the subject would be made public Snturday. But, as Mr. Bloomer said, this would not change the attitude of the promoters toward the scope of the fathering. In other words It waa for the purpose of promoting . "world peace In general, without reference to any treaty In particular." HOPS BEING HELD FOR HIGHER PRICES To date but little In the way of contracting for 1912 hop has been done in this state, and the chances are that business In that line will continue light Buyers say that a few deal of importance have been closed within the past week or two, for the most part at 22 to 24 cents, but In general the growers in Oregon are averse to selling tbelr 1912 crops at this time. The high prices now avail able for spot goods act as an effective bar to buBlneas in futures on s low er price basis. whethpr well or ill erounded. the belief ts more or less prevalent among the growers that hops the coming year will be worth more than the buyers now are ready to pay on con tracts. On the other hand, dealers say there Is no assurance whatever that hops next year will sell at any thing like the prices now ruling, and in all quarters it Is conceded that a heavy crop in the principal producing countries which is among the possi bilitiesmight mean a decided decline in values. In thia connection dealers say It is well to consider the effect on the fu ture of the market of the promised Increase in the acreage in the Coast states the coming year. This Inevita bly means a decided Increase in the crop in 1913, and this could hardly fail to have some effect on the 1912 market. in Pniifnmia a eood deal of con- frnrtlnu for 1912 hops haa already been done at 25 cents, the heavy growers. It is said, being tne cniei sellers. This Is regarded as signifi cant by the trade generally and taken to mean that hop values in the course of the next six months must work to a lower level. tv, tha tlmp the markpt on 19118 remains firm in the extreme, with the tendency of prices upward, in this country and in Europe as welL Trade, however, continues slack, as uaual at this time of the year. In England the holiday season Is on and business there is practically suspended, hut a revival of traffic there, and possi bly higher prices, are counted on early in the new year.

ECONOMY TAET'S POLICY III FUTURE POLITICIANS EXPECT LITTLE WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED AT PRESENT SESSION. TAKITF REVISION MAY EE URGED Efforts To Have AldrloQ Plan For Central Bank Adopted Will Be Mad By Republicans. WASHINGTON, Doc. 22. (Special.) Opinions as to the nut results of the present session ot Congress vary not a little. Some of the statesmen already In Washington believe that C'qngress will pass practically no legislation. Others sre just as certain that It will delve deeply Into tariff legislation. It la not very probable that Congress will transact very much business, as both partle will probably feel dis posed to go ahead with much caution on the eve of a big political campaign, In order to make as few mistakes as possible. The currency will receive a good dealof attention, and an effort will be made to adopt thn A Id rich plan for a central bank. The emo crats are disposed to abolish the Com merce Court, which they accuse of being too strongly biased In favor oi the transportation Interests. Tney declare unequivocally that 07 have "got its goat," as the sporting editors say. The advocates of waterway im provement will try to have a definite policy adopted, and the trust busters are due for a lot of anti-corporation talk. Wherever the Industrious legislator turns at the coming sesslgi, he Is likely to ran Into the slogan of econ omy In national expenditures. Army posts and navy yards are to be abolish ed by consolidation, and the appro priations for new public building, for waterways, for the conduct of the public business, and for everything else connected with the government are to be held down as close as possi ble. This city for economy has even prevented the consideration In tne Army Appropriation bill of any ex penditure for the fortifying of Lo Angele harbor, for which land has been bought and which is the only Im portant strategic point on the Pacific Coast not already provided with de fenses. The President is determined to keep up the program of economy, and the Democrats will have to get pretty busy, the President's advisors think. If they succeed In showing greater solicitude for the public purse than the Administration does. But this Is all very distressing to the hard working congressmen who are anx ious to help their districts with the aid of public funds. NEWnYORK, Dec. 23. Mrs. J. Pier poijt Morgan, wife of the financier, re turned from Europe Friday on the Amerika. How long Mrs. Morgan bad been In Europe she declined to say. "I won't tell, because I abhor pub ctf," Bhe said. "To a woman of re finement it is dreadful to find thlngk In the papers about heraelf. I never give interviews. I cannot understand why men remain in the newspaper profession. They should get Into a decent business. Why, the newspapers have gone so far as to publish pic ture of two of my friends, but never mine."
