THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1908. HITCHCOCK GETS CMIG MS Usual Big Majorities in New England Are Pre dicted. CONFERENCE AT BOSTON Party Leaders Confident Tuft Vote Will Be Equal to That of Koose- . veil Vour Years Ago Goes "ext to Maine Today. BOSTOK. Aug-- At the conclusion of the New England Republican con ference today Krank H. Hitchcock. chairman of the National committee, announced that he had found every thing In good shape and the expecta tions of leaders are that the usual ' Republican majorities In New England will be rolled up this Fall for the Na- : tlon ticket. The conference today was one of the most important Mr. Hitchcock has had, for the reason that in less than ten days there will be an election In Vermont and two weeks later the elec tion In Maine will be held. The situa tion In these states, therefore, was given close attention. In Conference With Leaders. Mr. Hitchcock arrived In Boston at 11:40 o'clock, accompanied by Senator Crane, National committeeman for Massachusetts, and Charles F. Brooker, National committeeman for Connecti cut. After a conference with a number of the leaders individually, Mr. Hitchcock attended a luncheon at the Hotel Tou raine. John Hays Hammond, a member of the advisory committee of the National committee, was present. He has un dertaken the responsibility of -organiz-.ing Taft clubs throughout the coun try, assisted by Snell Smith, of Wash ington, D. C. Mr. Hammond made a report to the effect that the people are taking a lively Interest In this feature of the campaign. t Organization Well Perfected. At the opening of the conference Mr. Hitchcock made a statement outlining the organization that has been per fected in New York and Chicago. He dwelt upon the Interest In the confer ences which were held in Colorado Springs and Chicago, and spoke of other meetings of a similar character that are to be held In other sections. . He said tl.at it Is his purpose to cover alia entire United States and in this manner get In close touch with the situation everywhere. The representa tives of 'the different states were ln vlud to indulge In the general debate of the New England conditions and in this manner many details of local sit uations were brought to the attention of Mr. Hitchcock. Borah to Speak' In Vermont.- ' To a Jarge extents the New England leaders will bear the -responsibility of carrying on the campaign, for Mr. Hitchcock's time will be taken almost entirely In the states where there is a large Democratic vote and particularly tie desires to be free to attend the campaign In the Western states. In talking over the conference, he said tonight a great many speakers had already been assigned to Vermont, where the first election will be held and that others would ,be sent there as soon as they were available. Senator Borah, of Idaho, will make at least six speeches In the state; Senator Burrows Is to make several and Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa, will make one or two ad dresses. In addition there are a num ber of other prominent speakers the National committee expects to assign to tnat state. Taft Vote to Be Equal to Roosevelt's. The representatives from Vermont to the conference today expressed the be lief that the majority for Taft this Kail will be as large as it was four years ago for Roosevelt, but several of the New England leaders regarded this at too optimistic a view to take. There are Republican factional fights in Connecticut and New Hampshire, but the leaders from those states de clared at the conference that the Na tional ticket would not be affected in, the least by those local differences. Mr. Hitchcock left Boston at 7 o'clock tonight for Portland. Maine, where he will meet the members of the state executive committee. Ex-Governor Mill, of Maine, told Mr. Hitchcock that the situation is excellent In his state and that the state officers and all four Congressmen would be elected by the Republicans. KROONLAND WINS IN RACE Bests Liner Statendam In- Close Contest Across Atlantic. - NEW YORK, Aug. 25. When the liner Kroonland,' from Antwerp and Dover, passed in at Sandy Hook today, she was 45 minutes ahead of the Stat endam. from Rotterdam. It was a close 3000-mile race all the way across. As the Kroonland was leaving the English Channel on August 16. she got a glimpse of the Statendam's heels. From that moment the Kroonland Increased speed until she gained the lead on August 17. The liners never lost sight of each other from that time until the race was finished. GRIEF CAUSES SUICIDE Former Salt Lake Man Follows Wife Into Vnknown. WASHINGTON", Aug. 25. Despondent over the death of his wife, less than a month ago, Arthur D. Adams, a book binder In the Government Bureau of Engraving and Printing, formerly of Salt Lake City, took his own life here today. While gradually losing con sciousness, he attempted to describe in a letter the effects of the poisonous fumes of illuminating gas. Closing the windows of his room, Adams turned on the gas. At 7 o'clock this evening his landlady detected the odor of ga. but when the door of Adams' room was burst open It was too late to save his life. MULAI HAFID ON THRONE Partisans Swear to Protect Euro , pean Interests in Morocco. PARI3. Aug. 25. M. Rejmault. the (French Minister to Morocco, reports ' that Mulal Hafid was proclaimed Sul- tan of Morocco without any untoward incident. Mulal Hafid's partisans have sworn to protect Europeans residing In Morocco. Official circles view the situation with a calm spirit It is pointed out that the change in rulers does not change the problems presented. The act of Algeclras waa devised to .meet these problems and Is equally appllca ble to the new as to the old regime. Therefore, it is considered unlikely that It will become necessary to sum mon a new conference of the powers for there appears to be no reason why an agreement, as to concerted action cannot be arranged through the usual diplomaticthannels. ' COURAGE IN BUSINESS One Young Business Man Makes Short Work of Dull Times. Denver Correspondence New York Evening Post. Among"the convention attendants was a traveling salesman who has vis ited the towns having a population of 5000 and upward for 12 years, and has the distinction of having Increased his sales of cloaks and high-class clothing over the first half of last year a re markable record for this season. "It waa the result of hard work, however,' said he. "for I have simply put In longer hours and traveled nlghta to offset the lessening of orders." Dis cussing the exact condition of trade in the average medium-sized town of the Middle West, he gave this Interesting summary: "Much has been said about hand-to- mouth buying by the country mer chant. That hardly expresses It. It Is a timid buying that has its basis partly In fear for the future and partly In the falllna- nrices that leads to the conclu sion that there is yet a lower level coming for staples of the trade. Thla fear Is unreasoning to a large extent, for these merchants have around them Just as prosperous a people as before, and with the right kind of courage they could make headway In spite of the dull period. For Instance, down in Missouri is a general store owned by an old customer who has for his assistant a son. a wideawake young man, am bitious to get ahead. The father has been ill. and when I called on them, three weeks ago. I went up to the house to see him. He complained great ly about the hard times and bemoaned the conditions, ending up with the usual refusal to buy goods except to fill assortments. " "But," said I, 'why should you com plain? Your store has done more business this year than last for the same monuis; you son just told me eo." He was sur prised, and after he had telephoned to find that I was right, he cheered up and gave the usual order. "There was a case where Ignorance was wisdom. The boy, thrown on his own resources, had thought nothing of hard times, had kept his stock full, his win dows well displayed, his advertisements In the papers. His competitors had rested in some sort of discouragement, and he had reaped the benefit In the beet trade the store ever had.

ENEMIES PLOT TO i era United States and Holland Said to Have Promised Aid to Revolutionists. ", FINANCED IN NEW - YORK Mony Is Pouring Into Treasury of. FilibustersOperations Will Be Commenced Xext October on. t Colombian Border.' WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. With full sanction of the State Department of the American Government, and with promises of effective assistance from Holland, a revolution Is being planned to overthrow President Castro of Ven ezuela. The revolutionary movement which . la well organized and is being financed in New York and elsewhere, will become operative directly after the rainy season ends in Venezuela, about the middle of October. It la expected that within a few months a new Venezuelan ruler will replace President Castro, an object which the State Department and Holland and Colombia and Venezuelan malcontents have every hope of accom plishing. Plans have already been laid for In augurating the revolution. Financial backing is not lacking, as money Is pour ing In from New York, as well as from other sources. The amount available 'to perfect the revolutionists' plan may run. up Into millions. Holland has been in formed of the move and will aid by blockading Venezuelan ports, while a land attack begins along the Arauca River, on the Colombian border.

The Venezuelan Consul here has been Instructed to withhold passports from persons desirous of taking .passage on the steamers to Venezuela: This action on the part of the Venez uelan government has caused great in dignation and is a serious blow to the inhabitants of the Parian ports and Cuidad Bolivar, and will add considerably to the misery already existing there. OREGON M WANTS WIFE ASKS POSTMASTER OF OMAHA TO PLAV PART OF CUPID. 1 F. A. Zell, of Madras, Wants Toung and Loveable Girl Who Can Keep House. OMAHA. Neb., Aug. 25. Finding bach elor life in the ' wilds of Oregon a Utile lonesome, Fred A. Zell4 has written a letter from the town of Madras, Or., to Postmaster Thomas, asking the latter to secure him a young wife, the remnneratlon for his services to be $20. C. O. D.. The terms of the contract are rather binding. The young woman must be between 20 and 24 years of age, a good housekeeper, and of a sweet and lovea ble disposition. Correspondence with Cinderellas whose feet will fit thla slipper. Is solicited. The text of the closing part of Mr. Zell'a missive reads as follows: "This is between you and me. If this proposition works all right and I get the girl, after the wedding I will give you $20." Mr.- Zell incloses a picture which shows him to oe a strongly-built fellow of about 30 years of age. He has a 580 acre ranch near Madras, which he says furnishes him an excellent living and considerable profit. Mr. Zell remarks in his letter that all ine rancher In his country are well fixed, but that all are bacnelors, and that there Is not a woman within an astonishingly long distance, ile desires to exchange pictures with his still un known intended. MENTAL STENOGRAPHING And Typewriting Done in Same Way by Earnest Young Learner. "When I first began," said a young woman who is learning typewriting and stenography, "a stenographer friend of mine told me that after a time I wquld find myself taking steno graphic notes In my head, and this has already come quite true, though I find that I am more likely to take su,ch talk down on a mental typewriter I sup pose because, as far as I've got, I am more advanced in typewriting than I am in stenography. When you learn typewriting, you know, they teach you on a typewriter with the keys all blanks; no letters on them. You have hung up In front of you a card on which are printed all the letters and signs of the keyboard, and you are expected to learn the keys on the machine from the card. They do this so that you will learn the keys by their positions and so be able to play on the machine without looking at It. Vhen you have learned the position of all the keys in this manner they dictate to you such simple words as c-a-t, cat, to be written on the type writer without looking at the card: and when you find yourself able to do this"! you think you have come to be quite a typewriter. 'But to get that far you have to do a good deal of hard work, and your work Is likely to follow you, even in your sleep. Why, I've dreamed many a time of picking out letters and lines of let ters on the typewriter. Next the type writer began following me in my wak ing moments, too, as it does now; ex cept that now, being somewhat more advanced as I am, it follows me In a somewhat different way. "Now, when somebody talks to me. or I hear somebody talking I find myself taking it down on a typewriter In my brain, as I would on a real type writer from dictation. Of course I can't begin to write as fast as anybody can talk, but I can do better than I did at first, and I pound away on that mental type writer and keep up as well as I can. And when 1 find myself far behind. why X stofi right ..there and make, g, fresh start on the talk from that mo ment. . - ' Whether this mental practice on the typewriter does me any good or not I don't know; perhaps It would be better for me to forget the machine if I could when I am not actually at work on It, studvinr: but anyhow the typewriter V nnrniiA mpnnd so when I hear people talking I pound away on that mental machine in my brain. "And in the same way I take, as my friend had told me I would, stenographic notes In my brain. I do not yet do this to the extent that I typewrite there, because the typewriter got Installed In my head first; but I now find myself taking mental steno graphic notes of things I hear people say, being particularly caught by the words I hear spoken for which I have learned the contractions, and soon I suppose as I become more advanced In stenography I, shall begin taking men tal stenographic notes right along. - "Hard work, this learning to be a typewriter and stenographer, but there 8 fun In It too; inougn i snau do glad when it gets through following me In my waking hours and haunting me in my dreams." WAYS OF BUTTERFLIES Latter Said to Be Best Actors in the World. New York Press. Paul Cochelet, a professional orni thologist and entomologist of Paris, France, arrived in -New York on his way to Brazil on a butterfly-hunting expedition. . He Is a short, thick-set man of 88 and keeps a large butterfly and bird store in Paris, which Is patronized by collectors from all parts of the world. Mr. Cochelet is' accom panied by an assistant. "I expect to remain In Brazil about four months," Mr. Coc,helet said in speaking of his trip. "I have hunted In Brazil many times before, as the country affords no less than 700 differ ent species of the butterfly, which is nearly twice as many as can be secured in all Europe. ' "Nearly all butterflies fly uphill," he said. "I do not know Just why they do that, but they do, and where there Is a track or pathway up the hill they fly along the track. When they get to the summit and . there Is no more path to follow, they seem to feel lost and circle round and round, often for hours, and then suddenly disappear. I have never been able to find out where they go nor why they act like that." Mr. Cochelet holds that butterflies and moths are. the best actors In the world. "Birds," said he, "are, of course, the butterfly's chief enemies, but some but terflies do not agree with birds' diges tions, and the nonpolsonous varieties imitate those the birds don't eat in a most wonderful way. The result of such mimicry is that birds, not being experts, leave both kinds alone, and the same thing occurs among caterpillars, beetles and all kinds of insects. There Is a moth, for instance, which rests on the ground. It is a large moth, and as It rests among dead leaves its wing tips quiver constantly. Now the" bird's great enemy is the snake, and this moth knows it. Each of its wing tips forms a perfect Imitation of a small snake's head and the birds never go near It. "Butterflies, too, are very inquisitive, and a frequent way to catch otherwise tincatchable specimens is to shoot one of them and pin It down. Hundreds of its kind attracted by the smell will come to see what has happened, and then the net comes Into play." COURIERS ACROSS SAHARA Xew Service From Niger to .Medi terranean. ' Pall Mall Gazette. Though a journey across the Sahara Is still an undertaking of some magnitude, the pacification of the central r lon by the French has been wonderfully rapid during the last five years. Removed as it seems from the exciting Influence of events in Morocco, and un disturbed by Senusslte propaganda, the French officers have been able to estab lish friendly relations with the Tuareg and other Berber tribes, and have or ganized a chain of posts right across the desert connecting Algeria with French West Africa. The route for the tele graph has been surveyed' and a "wire less" Installation is being established. . Meantime, by the Hat mall from Dakar the Governor cf French West Africa re ports that he has instituted a monthly servfcS by couriers between the Niger and the Mediterranean. The southern point of departure will be the ancient town of Gao, on the Niger, some 200 miles below Timbuktu, "and the point of departure from the north, Insalah, in the oasis of Tuat, which is some 300 miles south of the. rail head In the Sud Oran asis. Intermediate posts have been es tablished at Agades and the Ahaggar. The oversight of the new route covers fully 1000 miles of desert. Much Is expected in the way of accus toming the wild tribesmen of the Sahara to the new order of things from the reg ular running of this service, and possibly some development of trade may follow. But at present it will be useful chiefly as a means of rapid communication be tween the French military posts. It Is In tended that officers selected for service in or returning home from the Niger dis tricts shall make use of the trans-Sahar-an route, which will be more direct and less costly than the journey from or to France via Senegal or Dahomey. Both horses and camels will be .used on the new service. . MIMIC WAR IN SOUTH Troops of Three States to Assemble at Atascaderb, Cal. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25. Orders have Just been Issued from the head quarters of the Department of Cali fornia for joint field maneuvers on a large scale between the regular Army troops In California, Arizona and New Mexico and the National Guard of Cal ifornia and Arizona, which will be held during the month of October at Atascadero, near Paso Robles Hot Springs, In the Salinas Valley. The maneuvers will be on a more extensive scale than ever held before In Cali fornia. Approximately 5000 troops, in fantry, cavalry and artillery, will par ticipate in the "war game." under the command of Colonel Marion P. Maus, Commander-in-Chief of the Department of California. Five troops of the Fifth Cavalry from Fort Wlngate, N. M., and Forts Apache and Whipple, Ariz., will proceed by rail to Los Angeles, and march from there to Camp Atascadero, over 200 'miles north. Three companies of the Nation al Guard of Arizona, from Phoenix, Yuma and Flagstaff, will take part in the mimic warfare, and about 1600 state troops of California. The first troops to reach Ataecadero will be Company E, of the Signal Corps of the regular Army, which Is scheduled to arrive there on September 23, fol lowed by a company of engineers from Fort Mason. By October. 1 all the reg ulars will be on the ground. The campaign will include almost every phase of military combat, recon naissance, outpost duty, skirmish, strategy, field and wireless telegraph experiments, and everything that goes to -make up. the work of an army in wa time. ... WOMAN MURDEHED FOR HER JEWELS Wife of British General Shot to Death in Desolate Wood. ' RINGS TORN OFF FINGERS Husband Finds Body Lying in Pool . of Blood Favorite Terrier ' Keeps Guard Beside Dead Mistress. LONDON, Aug. 25. The wife of Major General C. B. Luard was mysteriously murdered yesterday In a desolate wood near Seven Oaks, which is a short distance outside of London. No trace of the murderer has been found, but the motive appears to be robbery, valuable rings having been taken from the woman's fingers. The circumstances surrounding the tragedy are Inexplicable. The General and his wife were about" to go on a holi day and the General suggested that they walk from their residence at Ightham Knoll, a short distance to the golf links to fetch some things which they needed in the house. . They started at 3 o'clock making a short cut through the wood belonging to a neighbor, which the lien eral had the privilege of using. v Husband Proceeds Alone. Half way along Mrs. Luard, becoming tired, decided to allow her nusDana to proceed alone, she declaring her Inten tlon to return home. The General pro ceeded to the clubhouse and, having col lected the things which he went after, returned to his residence by another route. Finding that his wife ,had not reached home, he set out in search of her, and was horrified to find .her lying face down ward In a pool of blood near the- spot where he had shortly before left her In the woods. Some of the accounts say that the body was lying on the- balcony of a Summer-house used for picnics, while other reports say that it was lying behind the Summer-house. As the ien erai approached the spot bis wife's favor ite terrier rushed to meet him and then returned, mounting guard over his dead mistress. Shot Twice In Head. Mrs. Luard had been shot with a re volver, one bullet entering the temple and another striking her behind the ear. From the position of the body, apparently she bad faced her assailant and he had shot her- at close quarters. This bullet entered just below the left eye. The second shot seemingly was fired after the woman fell on her face. Her hand had been pulled back and three rings were taken from her fingers. Her dress also was torn from the body. Mrs. Luard was a tall and handsome woman, about 58 years of age. Major General Luard is a retired officer of the Royal Engineers. He entered the s army In 1857, and was an active officer in Lon don during the Fenian disturbance. He devised the scheme for . the rearmament of Gibraltar. In ' 1875 . he married the youngest daughter of Thomas Hartley, of Gillfool, Cumberland. RUFFED GROUSE DRUMMING Explanation of Sound to Which Mystery Has Always Attached. Forest and Stream. ' Few subjects have been so much dls cussed by sportsmen as the whistle of the woodcock and the drumming of the ruffed grouse. To the latter sound much mystery has always attached. The dull roll of thunder comes out of the air from a distance In the depth of the forest, and excites the wonder of the listener, but its direction and its distance seem so un certain that he is 'not likely to try to find It. Few persons have seen the bird in the act of drumming, and of those few a still smaller number have been trained to observe the ways of Nature or to draw Just conclusions from what they may have seen. Nevertheless many people some observers and some mere theorists have expounded their views on the sub ject. It has been declared that the grouse drums by beating his wings against the object on which he stands, against his own body or against each other above the back; but none of these have satis fied all the conditions and all are to - be rejected. ' 1 In the year of 1905. however. Professor C. F. Hodge, of Clark University, carried on a series of observations on his domes ticated ruffed grouse which point to an other explanation, and which appear to show that the sound is made by the rap idly repeated blows of the stiff wing quills against the erected and expanded feathers of the side, which thus form a feather cushion. Professor Hodge says: "In fact, the sound, so far as quality goes, can be best imitated by striking with a wing prop erly stretched or even a concave fan on an extremely light eiderdown cushion." Professor Hodge conjectures, too, that the bird while drumming fills the air sack of the breast and abdomen. "In this way the contour surfaces of the strong wing supports along the sides are made to In close a large cavity filled with air, and this acts like the resonance chamber of a drum and yields the booming throb to the air." Professor Hodge believes, as has long been agreed, that the drumming of the ruffed grouse is a mating call. The fact that the bird drums In Autumn Is no valid objection to this conclusion, since many birds produce in Autumn sounds which we are accustomed to, regard as peculiar to the breeding season, Sv OLD AGE AND ARTERIES French Physician Seeks to Upset Theory Commonly Held. For a long time now the books have put down arterio-sclerosis, or harden ing of the walls of the arteries, as a malady of old age. Indeed the malady of old age. A book published only the other day by a physician of long standing on how to attain old age con tained the same familiar declarations. It has been said that hardening of the arteries Is what . oauses old age, and that If the arteries could be prevented from hardening old age could be "baf fled, deferred, put off Indefinitely. Now M. Lancereaux has told the French Academy of Medicine that this is not so. He finds arterio-sclerosis rather In the young than in the old, and says that It is less harmful In the old than in the younger, and that the way to cure it is to begin early with young persons predisposed to it through he redity, much as one should do to cure young girls inclined to hysteria.
