His Followers and Caused Disorder China's Design to Extend Power. PEKIX. Sept. 28. Dalai Lama of Ti bet, accompanied by a retinue of 80 at tendants, arrived thin afternoon at Ting: Chow, a city In ChH4 Province, about 60 miles southwest of Pao Ting Fu. A throng; of emissaries met him at Pao Ting fu and he was received in a royal manner by a large number of Imperial as well as Pekln officials who Jour neyed out from the capital for that pur pose. He wa escorted to the Yellow Temp le, where iie has made his headquarters. His route of march to this building;, a distance of four miles, was lined by crowds of Chinese who had gathered to honor him. The roadway had been cov ered with yellow sand, as is dono when the Emperor travels abroad yellow. is the imperial color In China and an elaborate programme of imperial enter tainments has been prepared. This in cludes the ceremony of 'kowtowing' to the Emperor, but it is believed that the Dalai Lama will refuse to perform this function. Wild. Unkempt, Unholy Crew. During their years of wandering, the attendants of the Dalai Lama have be come thoroughly demoralized. They have lived at the expense of the local authorities and their demands have been limited only by the ability of the officials to produce what they want. They are a wild, disorderly, unkempt crew, giving no appearance of holiness. The most Important problem brought out by the absence of the Dalai Lama from the L'Hassa he left the holy city because the presence of Colonel Young husband's force had desecrated it Is that of the Lamaist succession. Chi na's effort for four years to get the Lama whom she wanted haa proved un availing, and she has now embarked on a course of religious intrigue with the Tafhl I.acia, the Grand Lama who rules at LXssa during the absence of the Dalai Lama. China Alms at Mastery. China's purpose In this is to secure a foothold for the political mastery of Tibet and Mongolia, and It is believed here. In view of the recalcitrant atti tude maintained by the Dalai Lama, that China will have the Tafhl Lama come to Pckin. The activities already displayed by the foragers and procurers of the Da lai Lama forecast a repetition of the scajidalous proceedings that were wit nessed at Wutal Shan, where the Dalai Uma held a court for three months last Summer. The entire retinue of the Lama has not yet arrived at Ting Chow. But still the loi-al authorities have can fit to place the policing of the city on a military basis. Rots Cove, off the Marin County coast. Lund arrived in this city yesterday, af ter an experience such as comes to few men, and he will enjoy a vacation before strain donning divers dress. The devil fish had evidently entered the vessel's hold during the night, and Lund was at work some time before he became aware of Its presence. A giant tentacle, four inches in diameter, first gripped one leg. Before Lund could realize what had happened, another encircled his thigh. The diver began to chop frantically at the rubber-like bonds, and at the same time signaled to the barge above that he wished to ascend. He was unable to free himself before two more tentacles squirmed out of the darkness and one tightened about his neck. The efforts of the men on the surface to comply with his signal, threatened to pull his helmet off. and he was forced to signal them to desist. With only his left arm free, he hacked at the tentacles until they were partially crippled, but he was being drawn toward the deadly beak, when he saw the outline of the devil fish's body. Flunking suddenly toward It, he drove the knife with all his force Into the head, repeating the blow until he had slashed It Into sections. In its death throes the octopus tightened its tentacles until the diver was almost crushed in its embrace. Lund then cut himself free and was brought to the surface In a fainting condition. Another diver brought some of the sev ered tentacles to the surface, and it is hoped to raise the body and bring it to this city for exhibition.

Claims of Kable ft Kable, the firm of architects which asked a commission of $12,500 of the Board of Education for sub m it tin sr plans for the new Albina High Schools, were denied at a meeting of the Board yesterday afternoon. The claims had been referred to the committee on judiciary, consisting of J. V. Beach and H. C. Campbell, and acting upon the rec ommendations of the committee, the Board refused to grant the claim. The building Is to cost $350,000 and the firm of architects asked for 5 per cent of that amount as their fee for preparing the plans. The report of the committee on Judiciary, which was adopted by the Board, follows: The undersigned members of your com mittee on judiciary, to whom was referred the communication and claim of Kable Kable. arising out of the proposals of plans for the new Hlgrh School, respectfully report that we have given the matter careful con sideration and recommend that ald claim of Kable A Kable be not allowed for the following reasons, among others: First Because the jury selected by the Board of Education did not agree upon any recommendation, the Jury having consisted of W. Marbury Somervell and Frank RIg1r. t'lty Superintendent of Schools, and the recommendation of Mr. Somervell was not agreed to by Mr. Rlgler. Second The word "accept." as used in the published programme does not necessarily mean "adopt." as assumed by the claimants, but would undoubtedly be construed in 'this Instance as synonymous of the word "re ceive." Third The power to build schoolhouses and determine the slxe and arrangement of the same Is a power vested exclusively In the directors by the laws of the State of Oregon, and requires the exercise of judg ment and discretion. This power, in our opinion, could not -be delegated and If the Board of Directors had intended or desired ever so much to confer the power on some other person or persons It would have been unable to do so.

St. Patrick's Church was crowded last night when Rev. Father Thomas Sher man. S. J., delivered the second of a series of lectures on the Roman Catholic faith. Father Sherman spoke most con vincingly upon the subject "The Philoso phy of Religion." During the evening he takes It upon himself to answer any and all questions that may be asked relative to the Catholic religion. During the course of his remarks Father Sherman defended the dogma of the Immortality of the soul. Because the soul is a spirit. Father Sherman argued, that It must of necessity be immortal. When the body Is dead the spirit still lives. Several ' other , proofs of immortality were dwelt upon by the lecturer, such as the innate and universal desire of happi ness found in the human race. A desire which never finds or can find its fulfill ment here, because the more we possess of the good things on earth the more we are filled with fear and dread with the certainty that some day we must give them all up and leave everything behind us, nay that our own being must be divided by death. God promises another life to us when he puts In our breasts the desire to be happy and then makes it impossible for us to fulfill that desire here on earth. On the conclusion of Father Sherman's sermon, Father Devlin addressed the meeting. These lectures will continue all week.
