NEW YORK, May 30. (Special.) Word has come back from one of the members of the notable party that Balled from New York May 24 on the Kronprlnzessln Cecille giving news of the preparations that are being made for the wedding of the Viscount Maid stone to Miss Margaretta Drexel June 8 In London. It was a large part of the bridal party that went over last week. Two bridesmaids sailed Miss Vivian Gould and Miss Hope Hamilton and others, more or less closely connected with Miss Drexel and her family, included Mrs. George J. Gould. Mr. and Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel, Jr., the latter Miss Marjorie Gould, whose bridesmaid Miss Drexel was; Miss Edith Gould and Mrs. William Hamilton, mother of Miss Hope. On the day after the Maidstone Drexel wedding that of Miss Mildred Carter to Lord Acheson will take place. It was a question which should be mar ried first. Bridesmaid Agreed I'pon. Both became engaged within a fort night of each other, and, according to a pact made in school days, the one that married first was to have the other for chief bridesmaid. Young Mr. Drexel's business connections he is leaving the house of Drexel & Sons in London to enter a business that will require his presence in America set tled the . problem, however. The wedding that will unite the mil-' lions of a beautiful American girl to the title of an old English house will be one of as much splendor as the days of mourning for the dead King will al low. The plans contemplate a wed ding in St. Margaret's, Westminster, the church attached to the houses of Parliament. The Bishop of London is to officiate. There will be ten brides maids and over these arose a little dip lomatic difference. Miss Drexel want ed more of her American friends than were included in the first tentative list.

Miss Rhoda Astley, daughter of Lord Hastings; Lady Letty Manners, the Duke of Rutland's daugh ter; Miss Helen Post and the Hon. Miss Sybil Fellowes. Wedding to Be Expensive. It is to be entirely a white wedding, and the decorations. It is said, ' are to eclipse anything that has been seen at any of the smart London weddings in many years. That It will be an expen sive wedding goes without saying, for within the last week $200,000 worth of diamonds were submitted to the bride's parents at their home in Grosvenor Square from which to make selections of presents. Honeymoon plans have not been com pleted. It is the intention of the couple to make a motor trip on the Continent In the new motor that Mr. Drexel, Sr., will give them for a wedding present. After the honeymoon it Is said they will live in the country as much as possible, and Viscount Maidstone is looking for a small house somewhere not too far from London. When in the city they will live with the parents of the bride in their magnificent town house. Last week Mrs. Drexel and l.er daughter were in Paris, arranging for the remainder of the trousseau. MEN TO DIVE IN TANK COY Irrigation Company Cannot Anyone to Fix Pipe. Get BOISE), Idaho, May 30-(9pecial.) If there is a man In the Northwest who is willing to take a long chance, is not afraid and wishes to make easy money on long risks, the Pleasant Valley Land & Irrigation Company, operating an irriga tion project 10 miles south of Boise, of fers him that opportunity. All that is required is that the one who accepts the offer climb into a regular 1000-pound div ing suit, descend. 40 feet into the water of a reservoir, look around and see. what Is the matter with an Iron pipe controlling the valve at the headgate in a conduit, pull a rope and be hauled to the surface. Every man who knows anything about diving in this part of the inter-mountain country had been approached but has turned the proposition down. The principal element of danger Is the fact that the mouth of the conduit is only a few feet from where the diver must land. The force of the water through the conduit is so powerful that huge bowlders are swept like peebles along a creek bed. The company will furnish the diving suit. PLUVIOSE'S HULL CRUSHED Divers Find All of Submarine's Crew ' or 2 7 AVere Drowned. CALAIS. France; May 30. Inspection by divers of the sunken submarine Pluviose, which was In collision with the cross-channel steamer Pas de Calais Thursday, shows conclusively that the hull of the submarine was crushed and that all of the members of the crew, which totalled 27 men, were drowned. The heavy undertow and the great depth at which the wreck lies are re tarding the operations of the divers, who are able to work only two hours during each tide. It has been found impossible to raise the sunken craft to the surface, so the submarine will be attached by chains to pontoons, after which, at each high tide, she will be towed in nearer shore until shallow water is reached. The work of get ting her in shore probably will take ten days. Holiday Pay "Wanted, Men Strike. TACOMA, Wash.. May 30.

IRISH CHIEF HOLDS PRIZE Ruler of Tongo-Tongo Island, Al though OfTered Fabulous Sums for Famous Samfa Pearl, Re fuses to Part With Stone. SEATTLE, Wash., May 30. (Special.) To satisfy the fad of a New York so ciety woman for rare gems. Captain George Frair will sail Wednesday with his schooner Eagle in a daring attempt to buy or capture the Samfa, the big gest and most famous pearl of the South Sea Islands. This beautiful jewel, the size of a large walnut and of the rare pinkish hue so prized by connoisseurs of gems, is now In the keeping of Chief O'Reilly, ruler of Tongo-Tongo Island. O'Reilly is an Irishman who came to the island 20 years ago as mate of a trading vessel. Falling in love with a Malayasian beauty, he quickly rose in power, managed to de throne the native chief and now rules over 10,000 natives. Three years ago a well-known New York society woman, whose name Cap tain Frair is not at liberty to divulge, visited Tongo-Tongo on a tour around the world In her husband's yacht. O'Reilly did the honors of his island kingdom. He showed his fair visitor the Samfa. She began to bargain for it at once. O'Reilly explained that he could not part with the Jewel because it was the object of the fetish worship of his dusky subjects. Since that date many South Sea traders have been commis sioned to obtain the Samfa from O'Reilly at any price, but none of them has been able even to open negotia tions. Finally, in the course of her unremitting efforts, the New Yorker heard that Captain Frair was an old friend of O'Reilly's, having served with him on the ship Grotain, a quarter of a century ago, and 'deputized him to get the pearl.

The passage of a bill absolutely prohibiting the importa tion of liquor to the Hawaiian Islands probably will be asked of Congress should the special election, July 26, called for by Congress, to determine the will of the people as to whether the islands shall be come "dry," declare in favor of prohibi tion. A citizens' prohibition campaign com mittee has been made to take charge of the plebescite on behalf of the Prohibi tionists. SHIPPERS ISSUE APPEAL (Continued from First Pane.) by the Government was a serious handi cap. So many steps were necessary be fore bringing suit to enjoin that he seemed doubtful if anything could be accomplished before midnight tomorrow, but he did not say whether he would act immediately. Senators Cullom and Warner here nut (in a word in behalf of the Protestants and Representative Hubbard said it was the duty of the Department of Justice to move against "this conspiracy." After Mr. Haynie had presented the memorial most of the callers withdrew, but at the suggestion of Mr. Wickersham half a dozen representatives of commer- Rri II- It i clal companies and of traffic bureaus fa miliar with the technical features of the rate situation remained for further con sultation. The opinion was expressed that the in creased rates announced in. Western ter ritory were the forerunner of a general advance, although the declaration was made on tbe authority of the vice-president in charge of the traffic bureaus of a Western railroad that the proposed in crease was entirely uncalled for. One of the committee said that it was the avowed purpose of the increase to raise $100,000,000 for certain expenditures, but In reality $500,000,000 would be real ized. Complaint was made of a lack- of fa cility in obtaining the tariff sheets show ing the proposed rates and of an apparent disposition on the part of the railroads to keep them from general circulation. All conditions, it was said, were In favor of a general reduction rather than an increase in rates, as the operation of the law prohibiting rebates had resulted in what In practice amounted to a very large advance. LAND OFFICE LEARNING AWARDS WIDOW CIiAIM WHICH IiOOAX. OFFICE REFUSED. AHowance Made for Struggle Earn Living While Improv ing her Homestead. to BURNS. Or., May 30. (Special.) S. V. Proudtlt, Assistant Commissioner of the United States Land Office at Wash ington, has handed down a decision relative to a homestead entry modify ing a decision of the Register and Re ceiver of the Burns Land Office. The modifying decision indicates the de partment at Washington is coming to a more liberal policy with homesteaders who show good faith and do the best they can. The case In question is that of Sarah A. Goodman, a widow, who made a homestaed entry in 'March, 1905, and who then started to build a home, but who actually lived on the land only 2 years. Mrs. Goodman had stated in a letter to the Land Office that she was engaged in seeking a living for herself and a living and education for her child by working at Baker City a part of the time. She outlined the extensive Improvements she' had put In and told of her hardships in eking out an exist ence during the time allotted to stay on the claim. In handing down his decision Mr. Froudfit points out the evidences of good faith in the matter, and declares that Mrs. .Goodman had done remark ably well In supporting herself and ed ucating her daughter. He therefore or dered the issuance of a final certificate to Mrs. Goodman for the homestead which she had struggled so hard to keep. . Graduation Held at Warrenton. WARRENTON. Or., May 30. (Special.)

DOCK BELIEVED SCUTTLED i Evidence Increases Conspirators Sent Dewey to Bottom. MANILA, May 28. Further examina tion of the United States drydock Dewey, which Is partly submerged at Olongapo, In Subig Bay, has strengthened the be lief of those of the Navy who have held that the damage was done deliberately by a band of conspirators against the Government. However, It is now learned that the valves had .not been opened, as first declared, although they were found to have been leaking a little. This leakage would not have caused the trouble and the dock sank more rap Idly than would have been the case had all the valves been opened and no other opening made Accordingly, the experts believe that a large hole will be found In the port side or bottom of the dock. It is probable the mystery will not be cleared up until the dock has been raised. MAYOR'S ANKLE IS BROKEN McCarthy Hurt When Auto Collides With Streetcar. SAN FRANCISCO.. May 30. Mayor P. H.

Is dead and 50 passengers suffered injuries which may result fatally in several cases. The collisloln occurred on a steep grade at a sharp turn in the road. Be lieving that he had a clear track, the motorman of the in-bound car was coming down the grade at a high rate of speed when an out-bound car, loaded with a picnic party, crashed into it head-on. Half of each car was telescoped by the impact, and the out-bound car, out of the control of Its fatally-injured motor man, went hurtling back down the track, scattering the wounded victims along the right of way. Women and Children in Party. The picnic party was planned in honor of Ellen M. Dingle and Harry Halloway, who are to be married June 29, and was composed mainly of women and children. The prospective bridal pair were not seriously injured. By the telescoping of the seats in the cars, a large number of the passengers sustained injuries about the legs.

The deeper one goes into the virtues of Frank lin air cooling the more unfavorable water cooling appears. Franklin air cooling not only equals water cool ing but in addition has virtues not possessed by water cooling. The water-cooled motor consists of two separate ' mechanisms the engine and the cooling system. If one gets out of order the other is disabled. o The Franklin motor is one mechanism the en gine. The cooling system is not a mechanism; it is not anything separate or distinct from the engine. It utilizes the fly wheel, the engine boot and the hood but does not add mechanism. There is not a single condition of water cooling the'Franklin can not meet, but there are a number of conditions in which the water-cooled automobile can not meet the Franklin. The Franklin can meet the water-cooled automo bile in any road test fast or slow, mud, sand or hills, and if the work is severe enough the Franklin will outdo the water-cooled automobile every time. The Franklin cooling system is unaffected by cold , or hot weather; it does not require any attention. Model H, 42-horse-power. seven-passenger touring car.
