THE MOKNING QREGOXIAN. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1907. 3 S. SAGE F ft Begging Letters Are .So Nu merous That They Make Life Miserable. TAKES JOY IN AUTO RIDE Declares With Enthusiasm That She Is In Danger of Becoming a Scorcher Some of Her Views on the Topics of the lay. NEW YORK. Sept. 1. (Special.) Mrs. Russell Sage finds her millions a great burden, because she has so many pitiful appeals for money that she feels compelled to refuse. When asked If she received many begging letters she signed and answered: "Only about a hundred a day. One man has written 28 times about the same thing, and oh. it. is such an im possible thing that he asks. I have a letter here in my hand from a woman who wants $10,000 with which to buy a home. Oh.- there are so many of them, and what can I do?" She rubbed her hand over her fore head as if trying to rub away the pain. . But Mrs. Sage has found some roller from care. At the age of 77 she bought her first automobile. "I take a 63 or 60-mile ride several times a week," she said, "and it is glorious. Why I am in danger of becoming a regular scorcher. It gives me such a thrill to fly through the country." On topics of the hour Mrs. Sage has decided opinions; these she expresses with a general accent that removes the '""Modern children are hot brought up the way we old persons were, said Mrs. Sago. "There Is altogether too much disrespect. You hear them say poppy' and -dad' and 'mommy.. It is not right; they should say -father' and mother.' as we did when we were young. Parents should teach the r children obedience, too. for there is altogether too much laxity among children. A child sh.uld be taught to know its place, and not to show off before strangers. "For more than 30 years no one ever brought a cigar Into my house. You peopfe talk about the tobacco trust and yet you support it by buying those filthy weeds and wreck your lives smoking cigarettes. . "What do I think of women who smoke? They are not women. They a?e mere creatures. -Rhey disgrace their sex. They are worse than ani mals It Is a foul habit for any one. but when a woman does it she un sexes herself. "There Is altogether too much at tention paid to clothes. A woman who makes gaudy clothes and dazzling JeweU help out her appearance must be afraid to trust the graces that God has given her. A woman whose only bought is clothes, generally makes a poor wife." BLOW RESTORES HER SIGHT Age Woman's Grandson Accident ally Makes Blind Eyes See. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1. (Special.) Mrs. Susanne Freelor. 80 years old who has been completely blind frl4 years, now is as clear sighted I .her 14-year-old grandson, whose hands ac cidentally dealt the blow that restored heThelKboy. Harry Maussuest. a pupil at Glrard College, was permitted to go home for a few days. He went to see his widowed mother and his grand- "'w'are going to take you to have your picture taken," Mrs. Maussuest iold her son. He went to his room and put on his soldier's uniform. While waiting for his motner he amused him self by marching up and down the sitting-room with a gun in his arms. Mrs. Freelor was biiu m and her grandson began to circle about the chair in which she was sitting. The boy cried, "Right shoulder arms! and as he swung the gun to his shoulder it struck the aged woman in t..e chair upon the temple near the right eye. About four days later, after all the members of the family had agreed that Mrs Freelor's eyes had become mar velously clear, the film that had for merly clouded them having passed away, they mentioned the matter to her "Yes." she said calmly. I have regained my sight. I did not want to say anything about it. I am afraid my blindness may come back upon me. BOYS' FIENDISH REVENGE Equirt Carhollc Acid Into Pace of One They Seek to Annoy. SALT LAKE, ftah., Sept. 1 (Special.) Three boys. whoBe identity has not been learned and whom as yet Detective Wheeling has not been able to find, at 8 o'clock last night used a squirt filled with carbolic acid with fearful effect upon John Nelson, aged 13. The boys are all about the same age as young Nelson, who says he knows them by sight, but not by name. John Nelson Is employed to collect at the Theatorium, a nlckle show on Main street. Early In the evening three boys began to annoy him. He told them to go away as they interfered with those who desired to enter the theater. They re ,,aiA anH va left his window to drive them off. As he did so they sprinkled him with water rrom squiri guns ana ran away, laughing. Shortly afterward the three youngsters reappeared and began taunting Nelson, daring him to come out. He responded to the invitation, when they turned the squirt guns full in his face, which mean while they had filled with carbolic acid.

CANTON. O., Sept. 1. (Special.) Major Augustus C. Vlgnos. a wealthy manufac turer, who lost an arm at Gettysburg, In the Civil War. was surprised recently at the receipt of the following: Dear Sir: Do you remember the tall nurse at Gettysburg1 who furnished you with cloth lnff so that you could go home? In louklng ovar- my photos taken la war WEALTH BURDEN time I found oru of yours, which your sis ter Kate had sent me. I was led to wonder if you were living and If you were going to attend the G. A. R. . encampment at Sara toga. I expect to be there and would be glad to meet some of my "soldlar boys." I would be glad to hear from you. I belong to the National Association of Army Nurses and our headquarters at Sar atoga will be at the Hillside. Now.. In my declining years, my thoughts so often dwell upon those stormy times, -and it gives me great pleasure to hear from, or tee, those for whom I cared. Hoping you are enjoying health and prosperity. I am MRS. REBECCA L. PRICE. Lancaster, Pa. For nearly 40 years the Major had carried to reunions and encampments a small photograph of the nurse, but none recognized the features, and he had - al most given up hope of ever seeing her again. She had kept his address but he had not known hers, so communication was possible only in case she wrote to him first, which she has done. Now the two will meet again at Saratoga. i "Her kindness I shall never forget." said the Major. "She took extreme care of me while I lay beneath blankets, after my arm had been amputated, wishing for the time when I might go to the dear ones at home. She walked several miles to get tomatoes for me. And when I was ready to start for Ohio I needed clothes, for m; old ones, covered with blood, had to be thrown away. She went through the neighborhood and searched the hospital, finally accumulating garments to clothe me. She gave me her photq for a re membrance, and her wish that I send mine, when I reached home, was fulfilled by my sister." Major Vignos' outfit for his journey home from the battlefield was a cap. a pair of white pants, slippers and a knit ted gray hospital gown, trimmed with heavy green, and held to his body by a cord tied around his waist. The Major wrote Mrs. Price that he would be at Saratoga and sent photo graphs of himself and Mrs. Price, taken in war times, and also his latest photo graph, taken 45 years after the war.

The gasoline schooner Delia which was reported in trouble off Elk Creek last evening arrived In at 5:30 this morn ing. Captain Jones says that . his vessel was in no danger at any time. The schooner was en route from Nestucca with a cargo of cheese, and as she would be unable to reach the mouth of the Columbia before the tide began to ebb. Captain Jones decided to anchor In the shelter near Ecola. Ac cordingly he ran In and dropped an chor about 4 o'clock yesterday after noon In five fathoms of water. There were a number of people on the 'beach and as they appeared to be greatly ex cited. Captain Jones feared they might think his vessel was in distress, so he lowered a life-boat and went in close to shore to notify them why he was anchored. Learning that a vessel being in dif ficulties had been sent to Astoria he requested that the report be denied. About 12 o'clock last night the Delia weighed anchor and proceeded to this city.

SELLING IS NOT ACTIVE But Conditions of Alarm Have Given Way to Feelings of Safety Cor- telyou's Action Saves Drawing on European Resources. NEW YORK. Sept. 1. The feeling of anxiety and apprehension which has been prevalent in financial circles for several weeks past was perceptibly quiter last week and this was reflected in some im provement of prices. This was accom panied without any very substantial re vival of demands for stocks. The buy ing coming clearly for the most part from the covering of short contracts left open as a consequence of bear operations dur ing the prolonged declining. On the selling side, however, there was a marked sub sidence of the kind of pressure which has kept the market in disorder during the recent period. The change in sentiment was easily dis cernible in the disregard of the rumors of an alarming character which were cir culated in the early part of the week's alleged embarrassment by stock and bond houses, and even by Influential houses the bears soon perceived these devices were ineffectual, and they were led perforce to buy In stocks on a rising scale to cover their short contracts. Cortelyou's Action Helps. Quite the most Influential factor in the situation was the announcement by the Secretary of the Treasury of his inten tion to make large weekly deposits of government funds with the National banks during the period of the crop mov ing demands. The response was prompt, and not only in the American money mar ket, but in the great foreign centers as well, in London especially. The discount rate declined and it became quickly man ifest that defensive measures in that mar ket against New York's supposed Inten tions to draw on foreign money resources were being abandoned. As a matter of fact, the earnest purpose of the present recuperation among some of the great foreign banks was based largely on the solicitude over the short supply of food stuffs. The treasury measures for sup plying our currency needs give promise of relaxation of demand on foreign money resources for this purpose. There Is a general agreement, however, that this country's position in the situ ation is stronger than for several years past at this period of the year. For one thing, foreign leaders of money have ex ercised a sharp discrimination against wouldNbe borrowers so that its outstand ing bills In foreign markets running to maturity are much smaller than usual. The past few months have also seen a very large return of foreign holdings of American securities to the home market. This has been a material factor In addi tion to the burden of the home stock market during the period of stress, but the floating supply of American securi ties abroad has been correspondingly re7 duced, and a smaller supply left avail able for sale to Influence the market. Syndicate to Buy Bonds. Not all of the early rumors of forma tion of a bankers' syndicate to bid for the whole issue of New York bonds were con firmed, but the opinion was that the of fering was a success, and a goodly por tion of the issue would be placed with foreign Investors. The fact that the rate of Interest on the New York issue had been raisel to 44 per cent, compared with the previous 4 per cent rate, lent a clear reference of a high prevailing rate for capital still existing, and led to some readjustment of not only New York City .bonds, but of other high-grade invest ments. The prospect that the issue would be placed, however, indicated the fixing of the New York standard and of the break ing of the deadlock which has existed between capital and its employers. A forcible reminder, on the other hand, nf the difficulty which still remains was snown by the decision of Erie to offer script as a dividend Instead of a regular cash divldent. This determination to con serve cash resources for outlay In re quired betterments was regarded as so far symptomatic of a general condition as to cause some renewed weakness in stocks of companies known to be simi larly situated. Evidence was at hand also of the continued reaction in the iron and copper industries, but reports of the conditions in general mercantile lines showed sustained activity. LANDS IN NET OF WIRES Aeronaut Then Leaps to Ground 30 Feet Below, Uninjured. SAN FRANCISCO, -.ept l.-John E. Drexler. an aeronaut, less than 20 years old. made a balloon mu.nBfnn e-AM i C'hutes today. When In mid air he cut loose nis paraenute and descended near the Stanyan-street entrance to Golden Gate Park. The parachute dropped into a network of electric wires and fell to the sidewalk, leaving Drexler suspended In a perilous position. In some manner he escaped electrocution, but his weight short-circuited two of the wires, blowing out all of the fuses in the neighborhood. Drexler, after recovering his balance, leaped out from the wires, turned two somersaults and landed 80 feet below without sustaining serious' Injury. WORRIES THE DEMOCRATS (Continued from First Page.) peculiar condition of affairs. Two judgeB of high standing will run on a union ticket and be elected. Republicans will try to swell the vote for the Indepen dence League nominees, and Democrats will endeavor to keep It down. Neither party will do this because of any dislike for( or love of the two Bart letts. It will simply be political jockey ing for the effect it may have on the Presidential fight next year. Several active Democrats, notably Sen ator Patrick H. McCarren, believe that conditions warrant a straight fight over the Judiciary regardless of the fate of the present officeholders. McCarren's idea is that a straight-out fight would keep party men well within their own ranks, and reduce the Hearst vote to a minimum. On the other hand, an assured walk over for the two Bartletts would have the effect of swelling the Independence League vote, as friends of the Hearst nominees would undoubtedly be easily Induced to compliment them. In addi tion to Brooklyn, the Senator realizes that Republicans would boost Hearst simply to make trouble for their real antagonists. . vSUsta Chaixm&Q oimars es he pUiac hand, is Inclined to stick to the bargain for a non-partisan judiciary. "Suppose Hearst running alone does poll 40,000 or 50.000 votes." he said, "we can easily explain how It happened. On the other hand If we run separate tick ets, and lost by 10. 000, Hearst could claim the balance of power if he had won that number for his candidate." These are the two views that are taken of what is to the Democrats a most dis tressing situation. McCarren and Conners are each con fident of evolving the only proper solu tion to the problem, and their associates In the State Committee are very much in the air. They are a unit on the advisability of squelching Hearst, but are in doubt as to the proper way to do It. And while they are marking time the Hearst men are busily working up senti ment throughout the state. Nightly the cry of the common people Is heard in the land, and within a few weeks a perfect Niagara of oratory will sweep over the state, from Plattsburg, away up near the Canada border, to Tottenvllle, the remote end of Staten Is land. And the whole campaign Is designed entirely to worry the Democratic National Convention and to make Wil liam Jennings Bryan wish tht William Randolph Hearst had never been born. AS CLUB TO HIT ROOSEVELT Anti-Administration Force3 Would Make Use of Hughes. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. (Special.) Intermittently political gossips start speculation as to the figure that Gov ernor Hughes, of New York, will cut in the National Republican convention and campaign of next year. Some of his utterances In speeches at County Fairs during the week have started thle speculation afresh. That the Governor Is not playing for the Presidential nomination prize, that he is attending strictly to business as Chief Executive of the Empire State, and that he wants to bring about many reform conditions there without any reference to "higher honors," are facts pretty well understood by his- sincere frlenda. That certain politicians are aiming to utilize his popularity and his various high qualities as an adminis trator to boom him for the Presidency and to place ( obstacles in the path of the present administration at Wash ington, is known equally well to every body who Is a close observer of polit ical conditions. Use Cortelyou to Beat Hughes. , The situation is such that it may call for a great deal of finesse to control the New York State delegation to the Republican National convention. . Right now, some politicians are looking for the injection of a lot of life Into the Cortelyou boom, which was not taken so very seriously when it was first sprung on the public several weeks ago. The politicians in question think that Mr. Cortelyou may be used successfully to prevent the election of a solid Hughes delegation from New York. The design on the part of the organ ization leaders is understood to be to have the New York delegation, which is by far the largest in the National convention, so constituted as to wield an Influence In the selection of that candidate for President who represents in the eyee of the country as a whole the idea of continuing the policies of the present administration. If this is not entirely possible, there Is the chance of a divided delegation, as a re sult of which the politicians behind the Hughes boom could not present a solid front to the rest of the States. Still Hope to Name Taft. ' Hope has not been abandoned by any means of having the New York conven tion, which selects delegates to the National convention. Indorse the candi dacy of Secretary Taft, who stands as the administration candidate to succeed President Roosevelt. But, If the Hughes favorite-son sentiment should prevent such an outcome, there is the prospect that several districts con trolled by organization leaders will elect delegates favorable to Mr. Cortel you, who,' as a resident of New York, is eligible to favorite-son consideration to some extent. In other words, if the favorite-son question is raised, and the candidacy of Mr. Hughes Is pushed by anti-administration politicians, the oth er side will divide things so as to have two favorite or semi-favorite sons. GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT French Government Is Driving Ca- nal Under Rove Mountains. WASHINGTON. Sept. 1. (Special.) A report has Just reached the State Department of what is declared to be the greatest engineering work of the kind attempted on the European con tinent. It Is to be a canal under the Rove mountains to connect the port of Marseilles more directly with the river Rhine. Consular clerk M. B. Kirk, of Paris, reports that the minister of Public Works In France and the Counsel General of Bridges have recently re ported the expenditure of over $15,000, 000 for the construction of the tunnel canal, which is to be four and one half miles long, 73 feet wide and 43 feet above the water level to the vaulted room. It will be completely lighted by electricity and possesses a small rail road running along its side. WILL NOT BE DICTATED TO Rather Than Submit to Mlneowners, Cripple Creek Men Quit Work. CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., Sept. 1. Rather than take out mlneowners' rec ognition cards, 125 men out of 450 em ployed by the Portland Gold Mining Company quit work last night. This Includes 77 out of 80 timbermen and their helpers, who had demanded an Increase of 50 cents a shift. The tim bermen had been receiving $4.50 per day and their helpers $3 per day. . It is predicted that between 300 and 400 men will refuse to take out cards Mon day and will quit work. JAIL FOR BENSON-PERRIN Men Convicted of Land Frauds Musi Also Pay $1000 Fines. SAN FRANCISCO.

CANADIANS ENTER PROTEST Member ' of Hawaiian Legislature Endeavors to Collect $15,000 Supplied by Japanese Agency From Vancouver, B. C. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 1. (Special.) Vancouver will hold a big anti-Japanese demonstration on September 12, and fol low it with a protest against the activity of Charles F. Chillingsworth, a member of the Hawaiian Legislature, who Is ac cused by the British Columbia Exclusion League of attempting to recover $15,000 supplied by a Japanese contractor to a party of coolies landed In Vancouver. Officials of the British Columbia Exclu sion League were' here today arranging for both the demonstration and the pro test to the American Government against the shipment of Hawaiian Japanese into British Columbia and Chilllngsworth's part In It. The Vancouver league asserts that Japanese contractors In Hawaii have been supplying Japanese coolies with money enough to pass the British Colum bia customs officials. It Is charged that this money has been collected from the coolies by the Japanese Consul in Van couver, and returned to Hawaii. The Ex clusion League claims to have discovered the scheme and to have prevented the collection of the money from one ship ment of coolies. The contractor lost $15.- tooo by this move. The Vancouver men claim that Chillingsworth was then sent to Vancouver to attempt to recover ' the money for the Hawaiian contractor. XO SERI6US FOREST FIRES Loss In Linn County the Smallest for Many Years. ALBANY. Or.. Sept. 1. (Special.) There has been smaller loss from forest fires in the Cascade Mountains this season than for a great many years. All forest rangers agree in this statement, and they say the occasional ralna which have vis ited the state this Summer have been the cause. Not a single disastrous fire has been reported. Several small fires have started in this part of the state this Summer, but all have been extinguished before they be came at all dangerous. In most casps rain assisted the rangers in putting out the flames. The most fires this season in the mountains of this part of the statei were caused by lightning in the storm which swept Linn County early in Aug ust. But in this instance the very storm which had started the fires put them out. rain following the lightning and neutral izing its work. In some Instances, however, extra ef forts of the rangers have been responsible for the small loss this Summer. In the vicinity of Foster, In Eastern Linn Coun ty, six different fires were started by lightning in the early August storm, and as not enough rain fell there to extin guish them a big force of men was re quired to put them out. CHINAMAN GIVES A BANQUET Invites Prominent Citizens of Bill ings to Feast. HELEN'A. Mont.. Sept. 1. (Special.)

Every dish and platter was of im ported Chinese ware, expensive and rare, reserved for special occasions. DF BIOLOGICAL STATION TO BE ES TABLISHED AT NEWPORT. Coast of Oregon Favorable to Study of Marine Forms In Their Nature Haunts. NEWPORT, Or., Aug. 29.-r-(Speclal.) In connection with the Willamette University Summer school which was conducted at Newport, Or. this Sum mer, and recently closed, there Was established the nucleus of a marine laboratory. The richness of the local fauna and flora, together with the convenience and attractiveness of the coast, had led a number of biologists to look upon this as the most desirable location on the coast of Oregon for a biological station. The numerous reefs and tide pools along the coast afford abundant opportunity for the study of marine algae and associated forms in their native haunts, and furnish an even fresh supply of material for labora tory use. Yaquina Bay and river fur nish a variety of shell-fish, and forms peculiar to tide-marsh territory. The experiments with Eastern oysters in this bay make it of special Interest. These and the forms in the light-house cove are not found elsewhere for miles. The biological features are not sepa rable from those distinctly geological. The fosslliferous rocks in this vicinity contain species so nearly allied to those now living In the ocean as to grade almost lmperseptlbly into them. The strata about Newport and the bay have been so thoroughly studied and described by the late Professor Condon. In his forty annual visits, that it seems almost like classic ground to the scientist. In many other phases It is a fairly virgin field, and untouched territory. The Idea of a marine laboratory on this coast was first suggested and planned by a member of the Willam ette faculty, but was taken up and carried forward by Professor C. O. Chambers of Pacific University. As no other marine laboratory existed on the Oregon Coast or adjacent territory, it was the Intention and desire to In terest and enlist the co-operation of all the colleges In the state and throw open a laboratory for the use of all biological students within reach. The increasing number who attend Sum mer sessions in eastern institutions and the increasing interest taken in nature study and biological subjects in Oregon along with other states, seemed to warrant such a movement. The fact that teachers were secured lXmjw ykrioujL2Ue$a flnrt,,thattii(lfnt.

SIBIIIIS came from various Institutions, seemed to justify and confirm the idea. No gigantic hopes were entertained and no elaborate preparations were made. It was simply hoped that the first year might see a fair 'beginning made and a firm foundation laid for substantial work in the future. These hopes and expectations were to a fair degree realized. It Is still to be hoped that future years may . bring Interest and numbers equal to the opportuni ties. The richness and variety of material; the Inspiring scenery of sea and shore; the cool refreshing breezes of the coast, all invite the student to spend a part of the Summer In study here. It will be deemed a favor If those Interested will correspond with any member of the management soon. In order that plans may be matured for next year's operations. CHAS. O. CHAMBERS, Director Marine Laboratory. NOTABLES AT TAFT BANQUET Large Gathering of Celebrities When Secretary Is Dined in Tacoma. TACOMA. Wash.. Sept. 1. (Special.)

OREGON FRUIT IN DEMAND Apples Will Find Ready Sale This Year in Eastern Cities. OREGONI AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Sept. l.Oregon apples will find a ready market in Eastern cities during the coming Winter: In fact. Western fruits of all varities will be in demand. San Jose scale has wrought untold havoo in the old orchards of the East during the past year or two. and In consequence manv farmers who normally reaped large profits from their fruits will this year get no return whatsoever. The San Jose scale has been particularly disastrous in New England and New York, which usually produce enormous quantities of apples. Last year the or chards of that region showed the first signs of the work of the scale when de cay set in. This year the scale has com pleted the ruination of many of the finest orchards of that section, and farmers find that they will have very little first-class fruit, and only a small portion of what they have been accustomed to market. By next year the trees In affected or chards will be dead If they are not sooner removed by the ax. Great as will be the loss sustained by the Eastern fruitgrowers. Oregon or chardlsts will profit in turn, for the de mand for Oregon apples and pears Is al ways heavy, and first-class fruit com mands a first-class price. Heretofore New York City has been unable to get anything like the quantity of Western fruit that it desired, and the limited quan tity that has been sold .commanded fancy prices. With the local supply greatly diminished, the price of Western fruit will probably be kept up, owing to the in creased demand.
