These Included th Union Labor votes, the rank and file of rt waa formerly th municipal ma chine under th old charter in Berkeley and th Socialist. , Wilson has promised the people of Berkeley that b will endeavor to obtain radical reduction In th price of light and water, and a S-cent fare for school children. Th mayor-elect was the ftoclallat mn did at for governor at the last Stat election, and polled a surprisingly big vote. He has a degre of Master of Art from th Northwestern University oc .njcago. nas siuaiea mi uxiom ana other Kuropean universities, and ha been a familiar f.gur for some years aa a Socialistic lecturer throughout th United gtate. He calls himself a Carl Marx Socialist. Wilson amaaeed an eunaslng following among th students at the University of California, though President Wheeler and other members of th faculty were openly committed to th caus of his opponent Andlroce Amsird by Theory. At a recent meeting of th Pacific As sociation of Scientific Societies, Profes sur Vernon L. Kellogg, the Stanford sociologist, sstounded his audlenc with ome new theories on heredity. What the Stanford savant had to say about blue-eyed babies snd flaxen-haired par ents struck th popular Interest at th meeting. m Purlng the past 10 years," said th profrewor. "a great advance has been made in the scientific study of heredity.

The objects of his deadly rifle rang from a hippo potamus to a ducker. which la tha smallest specie of tha antelope. An unuaual experience for an Afri can hunter was that Mr. Kramer In variably made bis quest for wild gam alone. Occasionally he would be ac companied by on or two native Kaffirs, When he felled big game he would have the meat transported to tha nearest markets provided ther was adequat means of transportation. Frequently the hides and horns of animals were all that he could make use of. but he nearly always found a fair market for them, and In thla way be managed to eke a fairly decent experience. Robinson Crusoe Emulated. For a period of three months Mr. Kramer lived on Elephant Island, sit uated In Delagoa Bay. This Is a Portu gese possesaion. At th time Mr. Kramer waa ther th island had been entirely abandoned, together with th government buildings and towns. Out side of a few natives ther was not a whit man to be found on th Island. Knight. Republican National Commit teeman from California, ha been In th bands of Chairman Hitchcock for mora than a year. Hitchcock declined to accept th resignation and ther It rests, possibly not peacefully, but with out any specially disturbing demon stration. It Is known that Knight is a loyal and sealous supporter of Taft. He is much opposed to th Federal ple-blters tsklng a conspicuous part in th Pres ident's canvass. 11 thinks that duty should rest with men In other walks of life, and that a committee composed of rttlxens of high standing In the profes sions! and commercial worlds, known to be friendly to Taft. and Irrespective of Republican faction, should be chosen to proclaim bis candidacy for re-elec- Uon. What will com of this situation Is hard to forecast. National Committee men are chosen by National conven tions, and th present committee will erv until th close of th National campaign next year. Vacancies are filled by th body Itself, although they may listen to recommendations from th California Central Committee. Doc Lives in Hotel. , Fairmont Hotel guests hav seen now and then some fatted dogs in that hos telry, but non that has been shown th car and attention, regardless of rest, that the Thomas couple hav lav ished on their Chines chow dog. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Thomas, tha, latter be ing the divorced wife of Frank Gould, recently arrived from th Orient, en rout to their New Tork home, after a tour of th world. While In China. Thomas bought for his wife for $3000 a dog of accredited pedigree. While at th botel It had on of th rooms In th Thomas suit. A waiter and bellboy were liberally tipped to car. for and feed It. whether Its wealthy owner was In th. hotel or not. Nothing but th best morsels of steak or lamb chops were on Its bill of far. It was fond of a mlxtur of cream and milk, and waa liberally supplied. It also liked French candles, and ther was a fresh supply each day. It is said thst the care of th dog In th way of a separata room, tips and meals cost in th neighborhood ot $u. When they went Fast, th wealthy New Torkers had enough Influence with th Pullman Company to get a permit to hav their dog travel with them In their drawing-room Government Aid Approved. Th invitation extended to the Federal Fin Arts Commission, through Presi dent Taft. to participate in th selec tion of a sit for th Panama-Paclflo Exposition, while regarded by aom as tending to delay th announcement of a choice by th local exposl'la com mittee. Is said by those who snould be well informed to be merely an act of courtesy. Th Federal Government will partic ipate in th exposition, for while th big enterprise had Its Inception here. It will be given active support aa well aa th official Indorsement of th United State Government, and. to that extant at least. Is a National affair. Th Government at Washington will erect a National building and make a Government exhibit on an extensive seal. Many vessels of th Navy will o sent here to participate, and it is estimated that th Government will ex pend at least SS.SOO.OOO In providing Its contribution to th international dem onstration over th great achievement. It la therefor deemed proper that th Government should b consulted before th final selection ef a sit If- an nounced. Th dor of peace, pur whit and L 3-wl Mr. ,.TT?rv , J3 M . V X.' "-' ' Mr. Kramer saw an opportunity to emu late Robinson Crusoe, so he secured th services of Adolph HInklel at Lorenso Marques, the market center of Dclagoa Bay. about S3 miles distant from Ele- Dhant Island. Hunting was good on the Island, and. between the two men. they succeeded in killing many animals and selling hides, horns and carcasses at Lorenso Marquee. These were transported to market by boats, crudely built by the temporary Islanders. Leaving South Africa, Mr. Kramer visited other districts of that country. After a tour of the world Mr. Kramer cam to Portland, and this city mads such -a pleasing Impression upon him that ha decided to remain permanently. Ills collection of African trophies had been in the possession of his father. who died recently at his home in north ern Bavaria. Tho collection was sine forwarded to Kramer, arriving her a few days before ex-President Koose velt's visit. Among the specimens as shown in the accompanying pictures are two kafflr buffalo horns, two water buck horns, three dryx horns, two ln jalla horns, one Nile buck horn, one tora born, three gnu horns, several horns of gaxell species, one rhlnocer ous horn, on kanky specimen, on ukanda horn and on wlldbuck horn. The kaaky Is a specie of llxard whose peculiar trait Is to steal crockodil ggs. bearing a whole bunch of olive branches In its beak. Is reported to ba hovering over th Union Labor party, of which political organisation, P. H. McCarthy Is th chosen leader aa wall aa Mayor of Ran Francisco. The get-togethr-spIrtt has ' been working way over th eight-hour limit recently and as a result, a concord of action obtains that Is unprecedented. Sheriff Tom Finn and the McOonough brothers, heretofore regarded as some what disgruntled, have wheeled Into line for McCarthy. Still another har monious not waa struck when County Clerk Hsrry L Mulcrevy and th Mayor were seen at luncheon together recent ly, and enjoying th most amicable and confidential relations. , About th only reactionary of th la bor guard la Andy Gallagher, leader of th Labor Council, who his friends say will be a candldat for Mayor and further that Governor Johnson has promised to take th stump for him. But ther are those who say that when Michael Casey gives th word. Galla gher will wheel Into Iln for McCarthy. Th so-called shack proposition Is still vexatious snd exasperating. Here It la almost flva years sine th big fire, and- yet ( ahacka. or temporary frame buildings, are still within the fir limits. They represent a cost of 11.0(7.000. Originally there were 3500 of these structures which were put up at a cost of $10,500,000. Th charter plainly provides that no frame structure shall be erected with in th fire limits. Fir Msrshal Towl told the board . that as an emergency measure It wss proper to hav had th shacks for th first two years. Th emergency is long sine past and he ays the Supervisors and Board of Pub lic Works hav no alternative but to order down those that are remaining. Dentists Seek Army Appointments. Several dentists In this city and Oak land are seeking to become Array offi cers In view of th fact that Congress at Its last session passed an appropria tion act which provides a dental corps for th Army to'conslst of 0 commis sioned officers with the rank of First Lieutenant. Heretofore, dentists In th Army hav served under contract. The new law provides that those who hav aerved for three years under con tract may be commissioned as First Lieutenants in th dental corps. When the contracts were made with th den tists, th examination was only a pro fessional on. Those who have served three yesrs will now be subjected to the physical examination before receiv ing their appointments. Original ap pointees for duty as dentists will here after serve three years as acting dental surgeons, with the same official status, pay and allowances as the contract dental surgeons heretofore authorized by law, before being eligible to receive permanent commissions.

Houghton, actuary In th stat Insurance department, th Insur- ance companies operating1 In Washing ton during 1910 collected $14,790,661 1 premiums, while their losses reached $6.7(4,232. In 1909 the premiums ran up to but $13,616,000. and the losses wera $5,285,802. so that, wnne tne oui of business done in 1910 was greater than in 1909, It was .not so profltabl for the companies, as they netted $8,0:6.428 In 1910, compared with $3,331,102 in 1909. The fire insurance companies col lected $5,198,255 in premiums last year, which was less than In 1909, while tfcelr looses, on tha other hand, ran up to $2,883,696, which was about half a million higher than in tne precea lnr 12 months. Automobile Insurance shows the big' gert gain, for in 1909 out of the $11.- 000 collected $9000 went to pay losses while In 1910 but $7315 out of $3, IBS collected had to be paid back. The legal reserve Ufa companies collected over four million and paid back a trifle more than on million, while th fra ternal life paid back mora than one million out of one million and a naif In premiums. Fire Inquiry May Lead to New Laws Factory Horrvr Dlarloae Many Bn reaws, Eack Powerless to Enforce Decrees G alp of Gotham. BT LLOTD r. LONEROAN. m 1 EW YORK. April 8. (Special) 1 The Investigation, or rather tha v aeries of them, as to tha causa of the factory fire horror, have progressed so far that It Is safe to make this pre diction: No person will be Indicted, no one will be punished, but- a few new laws may be added to the statute books. Fire Commissioner Waldo Is the only person who seems to have a definite, comprehensive campaign mapped out. He has a bill calling for a Bureau of Fire Prevention. This body would take charge of the entire work which Is now split up among half a dozen depart ments. For example, factories of the nature of the one that was destroyed with such an enormous loss of life, come under the conflicting jurisdiction of the fol lowing officials: Th Fire Commissioner, the Commls sioner of Buildings, the commissioner of Licenses, the State Commissioner of Labor, the State Board of Health and tha Stat Factory Inspector. Orders Not - Enforced. Each and every one of these officials has power to make "orders" but cannot enforce thorn. The result Is that each of these placeholders has an excellent defense; he can blame th other fellow, Some interesting tests have been made recently, which show the absolute valuelessness of the average fire escapes. The place chosen was an apart ment house on the upper West bide, where rents ar high, and the firs es capes ornate. Twenty tenants, including eight worn n. agreed to help the experiment along. They went into their various apartments, and on a given signal. swarmed to the fire escapes. The result was interesting. Two men young and athletic, reached the street In two minutes, but they dropped from th lowest landing to the pavement. One man, after going down one flight, found he was too fatigued to go any further. Three of the women became scared when they stepped outside, and had to be helped baok Into their rooms again. And it took some of the tenants fifteen minutes to reach the street, which meant that In the case of any kind of a swift blaze, they never would have got out alive. There is more or less of a knack In using a fir escape, but the average man or woman never bothers to learn it. Wa have fire drills In schools, and on many occasions they have proved of great value It might not be a bad Idea to have something of the same kind in our apartment houses. Street Devoted to Play. A two-mile strip of city street has been set aside for Sunday baseball Park Commissioner Stover, when asked what law tha Mayor invoked to bring it Into effect, said: "The law of com mon sense and good nature." The section set aside is West Street from th Battery to Ganaevoort Street. On one side of the street are pier heads and ferry houses, on the other princi pally warehouses, market buildings, ship chandlers' shops and saloons, none of which Is open on' Sunday. The street Is 200 feet wide, and there is no place in town where a stray ball could do less damage. On Sunday the street Is practically deserted by traffic, ex cept for an occasional horse car or a few ferry passengers. On reason for the new playground s that baseball In Central Park has been abolished. Professor Maynadler, the soli expert brought here from Washi ngton, says it Is essential that people should not go upon th lawns until th grass is well sprouted, and the roots have made their fresh start for the year. It is his recommendation that the lawn be closed to the public until June 1, but th Commissioner will not bear of this, as it would mean that all the May parties would be delayed. Some Judge In the City Court will have a chance to shine as a Solomon in a few days, for a delightfully lnterest- ng cab haa just been put' upon the calendar. Undertaker In Dilemma. Mary Mueller, of Brooklyn vanished. A body wa found which her husband and two little children Identified as hers. The executor proved her will, after tha body had been burled by an undertaker, but before the estate was settled up. Mrs. Mueller reappeared. Naturally the undertaker wants to ba paid, but Mrs. Mueller says she will not give him on cent. She never author ised him to bury a perfect stranger. she says. The executor disclaims res ponsibility, on the ground that sne was simply acting as an agent. The hus band who Identified the body is elearly not responsible, as he Is in an Insane asylum, and tha children are minors. So the undertaker has despairingly begun suit against the woman who re turned from the dead. A banana peel, which his offlo boy had left on tha floor, la the active cause why Max Goldberg, of No. 135 Washington street, Brooklyn, is now in Sing Sing, under a five years' sentence. Goldberg owns a store in Brooklyn, and at ' midnight on June 20 last, he sneaked Inside and set the place on fire. Then he started for the front door. He was cautiously making Ms way along in tha dark, when he struck the banana peel His heels went from under him, and he crashed into a counter, knocking a pile of goods off. Th clatter was heard out In tha street, and a policeman came along to Investigate. He found Goldberg trying to scamper out of the way and arrested him. Then the fire shot up and th mystery of his presence there was ex plained. Goldberg Is naturally downhearted, but he said that he would gladly take an additional year on his sentence If he could have half an hour's private conversation with that banana-eating office boy. Girls to Have Vacation. The committee on Amusements and Vacation Resources of Working Girls, In co-operation with th Women's Wel fare Department of the National Civic Federation baa organized for the Sum mar's work.

Governor Announces Policy to Work With Board to Aid Men to Begin Lives Anew. SALEM. Or, April 9. (Special.) Paroled prisoners from the state pen! tentlary will not be allowed to flock to Portland In the future, according to plans outlined this morning by Gov ernor West. A policy will be instituted by him which will be passed along to the parole board looking toward the reformation of as many prisoners as possible when they leave the peniten tiary. "Criticism that may be directed at me for this plan I am ready to take. said the Governor, "but I have gained my own consent to giving the prisoners a chance, and I Intend to do it. "When the new parole board takes charge of affairs there will be a large number of convicts released from the prison. There has been a great In flux of prisoners, and with the thou sands of people coming from the East, some of them not altogether desirable. tha penitentiary has been filling up rapidly. The prison ia not prepared to take care of them. "But the men must be taken care of in some manner and it is simply a question oi humanity. suppose the parole board finds it Incumbent to re lease 60 prisoners. They will not be allowed to flock to Portland and take up their criminal life where they left otr. "On the other hand they will be sent over the state and every effort will be extended to make them useful. We will endeavor to ascertain where they may find employment. Their friends will be communicated with and if they have no friends someone will be lo cated who can give employment to them and give them a chance. Of course many of them will probably drift back. But on the other hand I am convinced that many of them will never see the prison again, because they will become citizens who are worth while. We will endeavor to lo cate people in Albany, Roseburg, Med ford. Baker, Pendleton or any other city in the state or on ranches who will be pleased to give th prisoners a helping hand, steady employment. and a chance to redeem themselves. "Many times attorneys come to th office with pleas for paroles. A prao tlce will be established of paroling th prisoners to the attorneys and exact ing a promise from the lawyers that they will secure employment for the paroled men and require them to re port so that the attorneys may keep in touch with their progress. T. am going on the assumption that the majority of attorneys ar Inter ceding for their clients out of the kind ness of their hearts with a desire lo see them really become useful citizens. "There ar organizations that I am confident will interest themselves In this plan and assist In finding employ ment for the men. We hope to scat ter them over the state in places where temptation will not be as strong as It might be In Portland, where 40 or 60 paroled prisoners who have a prison acquaintance might meet constantly, and. from their own counter influence, lead on another back into crime." LINCOLN'S ACT LIVES LONG Aged Woman Keeps Job on Showing Letter Written 4 7 Years Ago. WASHINGTON, April 9. Forty-seven years ago, on April 13, 1864, Abraham Lincoln paused in the cares of the Civil War for one of those kind and homely acts which have lived after him. It was to pen a personal letter to the Postmaster-General, asking that official to employ Miss Susan Dugger, a young belle of Carllnvllle, 111., who was th sole support of her brother, a Union soldier, crippled at Shlloh. M'ss Dug ger got a position and preserved th letter religiously. Secreary MacVeagh, after reading the same letter today, though the paper tioa yellowed with age and the ink is dim, ordered that Miss Dugger's name be not dropped from the Treasury's list of mployes. though she has been ill more than a year. When an employe has been absent without pay that length of time, it is customary to strike the nam from the rolls. Senator Cullom carried the letter to Secretary MacVeagh, who promised that Miss Dugger may have her old position f she Is ever able to work again. She s now seventy years old. Miss Dugger was transferred from the Post Office to the Treasury soon fter President Lincoln s letter got her employment, and became an expert in detecting counterfeit money. -She has handled billions of dollars some good. nd much bad during her forty-five years of service.
