High-class foolery is not expensive here; it is indeed modestly priced when com pared with the figures asked by "exclu sive" shoe stores.

We believe that more careful attention is given to selecting a perl'ect-titting shoe in this store than in any other store in Portland. The low shoes in which customers find it most difficult to obtain satisfaction are the "Garden Tie" and the "Colonial." We fit these here so they do not bag at the ankle or slip at the heels.

The Virginia, the Kansas and the Vermont were on the firing; lines today and they are th last ships to complete their work. The Vermont and the Kansas are indulging; in tar gtt practice for the first time under record conditions and have been grant ed quite a concession in t he way of preliminary praet ice. Monday, Tues day and "Wednesday, it is believed, the Kansas ami Vormont will ha ve the ranges all to themselves. The gun iit-ws on t hose ships have had lots of opportunity to prepare tor th- work at the targets ami t hey should make a splendid record. The ships sent to the ra nges first suffered some thing of a handicap, as gun drilling at sea dot not give- the same results as v. lieu i liip is lying at anchor.

The records as at present compiled give no certain in dication of the final result. The battle ships have made high scores with their " and 13 inch guns, as against the ciht and ten-inch rifles in the primary batteries of the Pacific fleet cruisers. With the completion of i target prac tice on next Wednesday, the crews will turn to coaling, and then will follow a week of cleaning and painting ships for the welcomes which await the ves sels at the various California ports they are to visit.

NAVY-YARD. Puget Sound, March 29. (Special.) The protected cruiser Mil waukee, Commander C. A. Gove com manding, arrived here at noon today to go into reserve. The trip up from Mare Island was an uneventful one. Com mander Gove declared his ship Is in perfect trim and ready to go any place in the world on a few hours' notice. The Milwaukee, with the- St. LOuis, will" lie at anchor indefinitely with banked fires. This is the Milwaukee's first visit to this yard, but today being Sunday the customary salute was postponed until tomorrow. The Milwaukee, like her sister ship, the St. Louis, which is also here to be placed in reserve, has lost much of her prestige with the ad vent of heavily-armed and heavily armored fighting ships. stopping at the hotel who were ignorant of the cause of the man's wild run down the stairs.

Spe cial. ) The Dominion government wire less station at Point Grey, five miles from Vancouver, on Saturday night picked up a message being sent from Point Loma, California, to the Mare Island Navy-Yard at San Francisco.

Benefits to the financial and industrial situation are hoped for from an amendment to the anti-trust law which will permit reason able acreements even though in restraint of trade in the strict application of the law as interpreted by the Supreme Court. The Judicial department of the Govern ment supplied a factor of encouragement In the stock market in the Supreme Court's decision against the validity of the Minnesota and North Carolina rail road rate laws. . On the side of industrial and business conditions are reported as having some confusion of the good and the bad. Addi tional resumptions in steel mills and the rise in the 4)riee of copper caused a feel ing of encouragement over the metal trades. Large curtailments of goods pro duction and reduction of wages in the New EnglRnd cotton mills made the de pressing factor in the textile trade situ ation. Railroad officials do not speak with enthusiasm of the rate of betterment in their traffic, and retrenchment contin ues the order of the day in the railroad world. CHINESE MAKE MISTAKE Highbinders Attack and Beat t'p the Wrong Man in Oakland. SAN FRANCISCO, March 29 What is believed to be a reopening of Chinese Highbinder activities at Oakland took place today at toe corner of Fifth and Jackson streets, when Jonn Williams was set upon by tnre Chinamen and badly beaten about the shoulders and slashed across the back of the right hand before he could fight them off. Williams believes he was mistaken for another man. .and-in this the authorities agree with him. . He is said to bear some likeness to one of the guards employed by one of the formerly warrmir tongs to protect their head men. The fact that as soon as Williams had thrown off his hat and attacked his assailants one of them uttered a cry of warning and all turned and fled leads to the belief that the Chi namen then discovered their mistake and took to their heels. PRESIDENT MONROE IS OUT Head of Vniverslty of Wyoming Ac cused of Vntruthfulness. LARAMIE. Wyo.. March 29.

BACKED UP BY CROWD With Six Strikebreakers, Official Arrives at Ivewiston and Is Met by Pickets These Turn on Him and Tear His Clothes. L.EWISTOXA- Idaho. March 29. (Spe cial.) Scenes of disorder marked the day's close of the telephone operators strike last night, when Superintendent Reynolds arrived from Spokane on the train with six girls who will take the place of striking operators. Nine strikers, supported by a large crowd of sympathizers, met the incom ing train and endeavored to persuade the new girls from going to work. After attempting to reason with the Spokane girls, the strikers vented their spleen on Reynolds and his girls. The superintendent was roughly handled by Irate girls, who were backed by a crowd of men and women that jeered him as the girls Jostled him and tore his hat from his head. Reynolds hurried his girls to the hotel, where he had engaged rooms In advance. A sympathetic strike of linemen is pro posed. The men only await a strike order from headquarters. Many tele phone subscribers are promising support, claiming that the girls are underpaid and compelled to work longer hours than any other employes of the company. TWO SCORCHED IN FIRE Olympia Beer. "It's the water." Brew ery's own bottling. Phones, Main 671, A 2467. Fashionable Seattle Apartment House Badly Damaged. SEATTLE. Wash... March 2- (Spe cial.) Fire in the Otis, a fashionable boarding-house on the first hill, caused a loss this afternoon estimated at from J15.000 to $30,000. The entire third floor was gutted and the furnishings of the rooms beneath were badly damaged by water. Walter S. Fulton, ex-Prosecuting Attorney of King County, and his mother, Mrs. Martha White Fulton, were slightly burned. The fire was due indirectly to the fact that no luncheon is served at the Otis on Sunday. Since Sunday luncheons were abolished some of the guests have been in the habit of making tea in their rooms. Mrs. William McDonald was thus occupied about 1:30 this afternoon when the flame of an alcohol lamp naught the curtains. The fire swept through the upper story in a flash. Ful ton was in his mother's room when the fire started. He got her safely out, but KILLS WOMAN, THEN SELF St. Paul Actor Kepeats Old Story of Illicit Love. ST. PAUL March 29. William D. Trainor. a vaudeville actor, shot and killed Mrs. William Prior, an actress with whom he was traveling, in an apartment at the Clarendon Hotel early this morning, and then committed sui cide. Mrs. Prior was about 23 years old. An open letter found in the room after the murder indicated that Mrs. prior had threatened to leave Trainor. Three dollars was found in Trainor's pocket and it is thought they were near the end of their resources. Coroner Mil ler learned today that Trainor's home is in West Union, O. The home of the husband of the dead woman is in Prov idence, R. I. KNIFE READY FOR BRYAN (Continued From First Page.) bulk of the Independence league votes outside of New York City wfll gravitate to him. Chanler was a bright league star until after he took office on January 1, 190". Every day. however, he has got further and further away from his old independent companions. But he lias diplomatically avoided any direct break with them. Of course, however, he does not even dream of an Indorsement by the new National party, which now has a column on the official ballot. Chanler la more concerned as to what Bryan's friends will do than he is re garding the action the Independence .League may take. He has privately urged various leaders not to force the Bryan men out of the party, and would be satisfied to see a merely perfunctory opposition made at the National conven tion. It has been suggested in his behalf that the New York delegation vote on the first hallo- for some favorite son, prefer ably although not necessarily Chanler, and on the second ballot swing in for Bryan. "Such a programme.', added the Chanler emissary, "ought to make everybody happy. Bryan's enemies ought to be satisfied, and I do not think his friends would object." This compromise was rejected on the spot. Now Chanler has another problem; whether or not he shall go as a delegate to the National convention. If he goes to Denver and casts his vote for Johnson. Gray - or any of the other conservatives, he will alienate local Bryan voters if he makes the race for Governor. By going to Denver and "making a noise like a Bryan delegate" he will hurt himself with the dominant element here. One of his D lichees County emissaries said today: "After careful consideration I have advised Lew to either break his leg or go to Europe about the first of July. The grandest diplomat in the world could not go to Denver, and make a good get away, unless he was absolutely in different to a political future." The doubts of Chanler have been con fided to Charles F. Murphy. He gravely decided that the solution was "up to" the Lieutenant-Governor. A similar answer was given by State Chairman Conners. Neither of these great leaders has any desire to embarras Chanler. It is simply a problem which makes their heads hurt. When you come to think of it, the puzzle is a perplexing one. Here It is stated in puzzle form: A candidate for Governor of New York on the Democratic ticket is looking for votes. Outside of the macTTine men and the dyed in the wool partisans, he wants the Bryan followers and the anti-Bryan voters. If he goes to Denver and shouts for Bryan, he will lose the anti-Bryan voters. If he goes to Denver and does not shout for Bryan, he will lose the Bryan fol lowers. If he etays at home, will he gain the anti-Bryan voters and the Bryan fol lowers, or will he lose both factions? Will each faction take his absence and silence as an indorsement, or will each regard ft as a repudiation? An answer to the above will greatly oblige Lieutenant-Governor Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, Capitol, Albany, or Red Hook, Duchess County, New York. He may not admit it for publication, but it is a far more engrossing problem than the "Lady or the Tiger," made famous by Frank R. Stockton. Stockton was frank enough to admit that there was no answer to his story. Chanler hopes there is an answer to his. And he must find it, if he hopes to stay In polities. MAKING QUIET IN COREA Japanese General Says People Ap preciate Mikado's Kindly Interest. TOKIO. March 30. General Okasaki, commanding the Japanese troops in Co rea, returned to Tokio today. In an in terview with the Associated Press, he said: "The insurrection in Corea is practical ly quelled, only few bandit organiza tions remaining. The people of Corea are beginning o understand Japan's beneficent intentions. We shall actively pursue tne remaining insurgents, who are merely robbers and murderers unde serving of sympathy." Reports from Seoul the last few days are to the effect that there have been three separate attacks on the insurgent camps, in which 103 Coreans were killed.
