14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATXTKDAT, APRIL 23, 1910. BRITISH SOCIETY KEPT IN TURMOIL Hostesses Who Are Forced to Work for Votes Irritated by Election Prospect. COACHING HAS REVIVED American Influence Results In Bringing Four-tn-Hands Into Popularity AgainWomen Are Busy With Horsy Talk. BY GERALDINE DE LO NGV I LLE. LONDON, April 16. (Special.) Nowa days society people are more or less forced to think seriously on account of the jumpy condition of the political ba rometer. Something like consternation Is felt at the prospect of another general election. From King Edward down to the youngest debutante the thought of a necond spell of hot distraction gives Eng lish notables the grouch. For the ma chine managers at once whip In their promising recruits from the social whirl when vote-catching Is the game of party necessity. As most of the "gentlemanly party," as the Conservatives are called, ere good dancers and good talkers, it looks as if hostesses will suffer another period of severe disappointment. Such Is the state of uncertainty that some of them are "lyin' low and eayin' nuffln'." Still, whatever clouds may threaten there Is one delightful social cuBtom of the season that can always be enjoyed. This is the morning ride or walk In Rot ten .Row. There the fashionable world foregather every morning, either to can cer on horseback up and down the Row, or to chat and take a sun bath on the sidewalk. Rotten Row is the most fa mous gossiping place in London. Miss Mildred Carter and her father have en Joyed It many a time. While chatting with friends there In the glorious sunshine it was learned that Mrs. Lulu Harcourt Is giving at least four dinners during the season. Lady Granard resumes her entertaining In Bel grave Square. Cora, Countess of Straf ford, Is contemplating giving one or two balls at Chandou House, where her daughter. Miss Adele Colgate, has such a good time when she is on this side of the ocean. The Duke end Duchess of Roxburghe have taken Baroness Burton's fcouse for the season's entertaining. Largely owing to Alfred Vanderbilt and Judge Moore, a revival in the popularity of the four-in-hand coach is vlsfble in English Boclety. Dainty tongues are busy with horsey talk. Frequently I have Ieen reminded that anyone of any social consequence at one time kept his drag and team. A good whip was then al most as famous as a prize bruiser. Now that automobiles are cheap enough tfor the ordinary person's 1180, the ex clusive set is turning its attention to the four-in-hand. This costs about $1600, "While a good team for it runs into $7600. About the greatest blow coaching ever a-ecelved in England was dealt when the Urmjr order went forth forbidding the further upkeep of the regimental coach. Many British army officers were famous whips and did a lot towards maintaining m. liking for the old-time sport. American enthusiasm for prize horses Js contagious. This is shown largely through the International horse show, hut also through the day to day love of tflne cattle, and the in season and out of season talk about them. Next to the Royal Yacht Squadron Club at Cowes end the Jockey Club, the Coach Club, of which Alfred "Vanderbilt Js a member. Is he most exclusive In Britain. Then there is a Four-in-Hand Clnb. with Lord Ancaster as president, which runs It close, for its membership Is limited to 60. Before another year Is past there is every reason to believe most smart people will own their own drags and teams. Such is the Duke of Marlborough's en thusiasm for soldiering, that he has been (promoted to the command of the Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars. His relatives liave been doing all they can to encour age it, for it helps to keep him fit. Wins ton Churchill, the Duke's cousin. Is also en officer in this regiment, but has rath er lost touch with It owing to his heavy parliamentary duties. The Duke, it may be remembered, erved with the Oxfordshire Imperial Yeomanry In South Africa, when he re ceived mention In dispatches. He also acted as assistant military secretary to Lord Roberts, who spoke highly of his work In that capacity. Unlike Waldorf Astor, the Squire of Cliovedon, the Duke doesn't lecture the people on his estates He makes an excellent landlord and al wars lends a willing ear to cases of genuine distress. Prince Louis of Battenberg, who is ffiemed as the next commander-in-chief jof the British home fleet, is one of the :moat popular men in the navy. But his fame goes against him among ordinary EBritlshers, who don't like its German isuggestlveness. Strange as it may seem, lie hasn't benefited to the extent of a slime In his career through his relation ship to the royal family. In fact, a sailor friend of his tells me SPrtnoe Louis of Battenberg would have fcot on much better without his royal connections. Ho has the downright American manner, indeed, and won't deal in soft-spoken speech. When staying at a small English sea" jrfde resort near Brighton, he and his wife suffered rather than enjoyed some democratic experiences. The late Monty Quest had lent his house for the occa sion and it formed one of a terrace over looking the sea. The dining-room had a high bay window. Which always stood open, it being Summer time. Curiosity mongers used to parade In front of it while Prince and Princess Louis of Bat tenberg ate their meals. As bathing from a shallow shore was a faworlte pastime with the Princess, she tried to Indulge In it on this occasion. Cbe got up at an early hour and sallied forth with her maid. A throng of peo ple followed her to the shore, and watched her enter a bathing machine. Upon it hundreds of glasses were lev eled to see her emerge in her bathing gown. She had to walk nearly 60 yards before the water came over her knees. Britten- patriots to the number of several hundred were frankly critical of the Princess' figure so she bathed no more st that resort. The comments of Prince Xouis were downright indeed, but they would not look well set down In plain 4ype. New Corporations Formed. SALEM, Or.. April 22. Special.)

JOHNS IS CONCERNED Rumor Heard That City Officials May Be Accused of Not Using: Sufficient Energy In Efforts to Quell Disturbance. Excitement In St. Johns over the out come of the grand Jury's Investiga tions Into the Hindu rlota there March 21 is almost as Intense as it was at the time of the disturbances. There have been rumors that officials of that city were under investigation. The grand Jury will make Its report to PVesidlng Judge Morrow some time today. The Jurors concluded their sitting yesterday afternoon and the In dictments are being drawn up for pres entation. It is believed not more than 12 indictments will be returned, some of the defendants already being in cus tody. In all, five days were spent at St. Johns. More than 120 witnesses were examined under direction of Assistant District Attorney Garland and Private Prosecutors Dan J. Malarkey and Plowden Stott. Just how many of the men arrested at the time In connec tion with the riots by Deputy Constable Klernan and a force of under deputies will be Indicted is not known. All were held to the grand Jury at the pre liminary examinations. According to the statement, thought to be author itative, that not more than a dozen indictments will be returned, some of these may be released. There was also a rumor that one or two other members of the night police relief at St. Johns may be Indicted in connection with the case. The charge is made by the state that the city officials did not perform tnelr duty in trying to quell the riot. The Oregon statutes are plain on this. The punishment In case of conviction may be one year in the penitentiary or a Jail sentence of not less than three months or a fine of from $B0 to $600. ABDUL HUMID HAPPY EX-SULTAX REGAINS HEALTH AND HAREM. Indications Are Young Turks Must Wait Some Time to Attend For mer Ruler's Funeral. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 16. (Spe cial.) As If to maintain his reputation for perverseness, ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid Is in better health again. Just when the Young Turks were hoping to attend his funeral. Deserted by the greater part of his harem, because he Insisted they should test not only his food, but his medicine to see whether they were poisoned, he determined to throw physic to the dogs and get what fun remained In life. An improvement at once set In and some of his wives have returned to cheer his lot. Gradually he has grown more used to his life at the Villa Allatini, near Salonica. His household grows smaller gradually, for not only has he loat some female consolers, but hla son. Prince Abdurrahman, and his daughters. Prin cesses Chadle and Kefle, have grown tired of Salonica and departed for the Turkish capital. The Princesses were betrothed to Turkish, army officers before the revo lution and now that things are quiet again they are getting ready for their marriages. As for the Prince, he sava he means to complete his studies, but the truth la he likes life better in the capital than In a small provincial town. When these members of Abdul Ham Id's family arrived here the hot bloods of the Young Turks began to protest mat it was dangerous to admit them to the city. But the hot bloods are no longer in the ascendant. Conditions are too critical for the rule of Sultan Mahmoud to permit of risks being taken with reactionary agitators. So the Prince . and Princesses remain. Only Abdul Hamid suffers by the change, for the government has argued that as his household expenses must be de creased he will need less money. So they have cut his pension by half down to $2250 a month. SALES OF SHEEP ACTIVE Price in Wheeler Runs From $2.50 to $3.50, for May Delivery. FOSSIL, Or., April 22. There have been quite a few sheep sales the past few days, in "Wheeler County. R. r. Keys, O. O. Butler .and R. E. Wright each sold 2000 yearling wethers at $3 to J. K. Asher; C. F. Waters sold 1000 ewes and their lambs at $2.50 to Mr. Sperry, and R. R. Keys and Z. T. Keys a band each of ewes and their lambs at the same price to Mr. Sperry. Delivery Is to be made at Shaniko about May 25. N. S. Whetstone nas bought 3500 mixed yearling sheep at $3.50 a head from J. W. Beymer. delivery to be made at Heppner, May 15. The Butte Creek Company sold 2200 head of wethers at $3 per head to S. H. Graves, a Nebraska buyer, and 1350 old ewes with coarse lambs to P. C. Sperry, of Pendleton, at $2.50 a head, all around. The heaviest part of lambing is over, and yields are averaging close to 100 per cent. Fleeces are in good condi tion, the Winter being passed In good shape by Wheeler County sheep men. HOW TO ENJOY MUSIC Do 3iot JJet the Shortcomings of the Composer Enter In. Delineator. Keep your ears open for new har monies, and your heart open for new personalities, is the best way to appre ciate music. The harmonies may sound harsh at first, as our sweetest har monies sounded harsh to older times and sound harsh to the Chinese today. The new personalities may seem er ratic and crazy at first, as Beethoven and Wagner and Monteverde and Gluck seemed in their day. But keep your mind hospitable. If you read that So-and-so Is stingy, or that he is rude to his friends, or that he drinks too much, or dresses too ex travagantly or not extravagantly enough do not be misled into con fusing the artist with his work. It Is pitiful that these things must be true, but "The Messiah." Js no less great because Handel was an outrag eous glutton; "Don Giovanni" Is no less wonderful because of Mozart's personal vagaries; "The Creation" Is no less majestic because Papa Haydn was- an old fop eternally at -war with his wife; the "Ninth Symphony" is no less ma jestic because Beethoven was au im possible curmudgeon who treated his friends like dogs. On the other hand, the cheap, the empty, the tawdry compositions whose names are now forgotten were no more great because their composers may have been far more scholarly, far more gentlemanly, sometimes far more pop ular and prosperous than the great masters. A man's personal vices aj.d virtues-are for him to carry with him to another Judgment than the artistic tri bunals of posterity. Let history or biography deal with the workman; art deals with the work. So remember that great music Is being written today and will be writ ten tomorrow, and be ready for it with a welcome mind. Despise noth ing because it is new, nor yet because it is old. Judge each thing by itself, asking simply: "Has It meaning? What is it trying to say? How effectively, how sincerely, with what novelty is It said?". Remember that the greatest works ever written were once mere novel ties, whose obscure fathers trembled in anxiety. Remember that, at the next concert you attend, your elbow neigh bor may sneer or slumber at some work which will be glorious when he and you and the sons of your sons sons are dust. ROAD WILL MOUNT ALPS TRAXXS ARE TO CLIMB MONT BLANO RANGE. By Next Year Section of Funicular System That Is to Reach .lifl, 608 Feet Altitude Will Be Ready. GENEVA, March 19. (Special.) A French engineer, M. Bugs or, of DUou, who for several years has been quietly working out a scheme to construct a funicular railway line up the Mont Blanc range from Chamonlx on the system of the suspended cable railway which now exists between Grlndewald and the Wet-, terhorn, has commenced work on the line, having obtained the concession and financial support to carry it through. Starting . at the village of Pelerlns, in the Chamonlx Valley, the "lift" will mount to the summit of the Aiguille du Midi, 12,608 feet, via the stations of Pierre Pointus (6720 feet), Pierre a L'Echelle (7010 feet). Col du Midi (11,665 feet), going sheer up the mountain side through for ests and over glaciers. M. Eugster announces that the line will be rapidly built and that by the Sum mer of next year the first section of the line to the Col du Midi will be open, and the second section, to the Aiguille du Midi, towards the end of the following year. He also intends to make the Col du Midi an "eternal" Winter sports sta tion, using the eternal Ice of the glacier as an ice rink and bobsleigh run, as the ice is smooth and without crevasses. His intention is also to construct a hotel on the spot. The cost of the return ticket from Chamonlx to the summit of the Agullle du Midi, a peak commanding a magnifi cent view of the Swiss. French and Ital ian Alps, has been fixed at $10.50 and the trip can be done' in a day from Chamonix. FARMER SUES MILL COMPAXY Damage to Spud' Field and Orchard by Logs Is Alleged. Hla potato patch and orchard spoiled by a boom of logs, Fred Yager filed suit in the Circuit Court yesterday morning, demanding $1000 damages from the Magness & Dougall Lumber Company. He says the boom riders tied the logs to one of his tree9 against his protest, the boom having escaped from farther up the river. As the boom lay along shore the water in the. river rose, washing the logs ashore. Two acres of potatoes were spoiled, he declares, and four peach trees rooted out. His ranch is In Marlon County. SHORT END OF TRADE CHARGED Turneys Want Lots Back Traded for Mountain Lands. Charging Malvlna Veneen and A. P. Veneen with having deceived them Into purchasing mountainous land in Tilla mook County on the representation that it had 600 marketable cedar trees worth $2000, and piling worth $1000, and that It was near "Ocean" Turner's stage sta tion on a stage road, John and. Belle Turney have brought suit in the Circuit Court. They ask the court to compel the Veneens to reconvey live lots in Point View Addition which were traded by the Turneys for the Tillamook property, or to give them $1-100 damages. Hoyt-Street Lien Attacked. To have the city enjoined from selling their property to satisfy liens for the laying of water mains along 'Hoyt street, between Fourth and Fourteenth streets, Joseph Clossett and J. K O'Nell brought suit in the Circuit Court yesterday. They say the city is attempting to collect the expense of this Improvement by assess ment against the individual property owners along Hoyt street instead of by the sale of bonds. They aek that the lien be cancelled, to remove the cloud from the title to their property. HILL'S TRIP NOT ANNOUNCED Railroad Alan Expected Soon, but Date Is Not Fixed. While it has been generally expected that J. J. Hill, chairman of the board of directors of the Great Northern Railroad, would be in Oregon toward the end of the month, none of the local Hill officials are acquainted with his movements. "I hardly expect that Hill will be here for some time." said one of them yes terday. "When James J. Hill gets ready to leave St. Paul he will let us know. He has not done so up to the present." The main object of Mr. Hill's proposed Journey is to acquaint himself with the work done by John F. Stevens, president of the Oregon Trunk. Mr. Horsbargh on Wedding Tour.
