I mm the County Jail Troubla brn for Baron Von WoH worth, rldlnsmasur. be Mr, whan ha sought to take his bride, a Cleveland locksmith's daughter, to the baronial castle In Pruaala and be acquaintance was refuted by the haughty Baron lotilor, who frowned upon the mla-al-llanc. Presumably from chagrin, the bride returned from Europe ahead of her spouse and In due time aued to be treed from the aristocratic connection. The world was never the same aeain Tor the Baron, he says. From his cell at the County Jail Von Woellworth talked freely of Ills affairs yesterday and asserted his light to the title he bears and the truth ot his claims concerning a partial leracy of li.i00. which, he says. Is due to airrtve In Portland at any moment. An ticipating; It. he admits, he Issued a few checks which have been dishonored, but In most esses, he says, the holders of the checks still retain the gooda for which they were Issued. Haron Talks Vaguely. Perhaps from meager knowledge ot law and finance. on Woellworth talked vaguely of the method in which the re mittance Is to arrive, lie spoke of papers already In his possession, tending to establish his financial credit, but was not deflnlte as to the banking transactions which he expects to occur. "My father was a Baron of the King dom of Prussia." he said, "and main tains four places, of which the prin cipal one Is Nersboach. I waa the only son. and subject to the dower of my mother, sui-ceeded to the title and the property when my father died, last recember. I was First Lieutenant In the Royal Hussars. In 1903 I came to America, simply In a spirt of adven ture. I became riding master In the Central Park Hiding Academy. New Tork. and spent the Summer months In Cleveland. O. There I made the ac quaintance of Miss Louise Lau. daugh ter of retired locksmith and herself a teacher of music and German in the public schools. We were married last year and went on a trip to Germany, but my parents refused to meet my wife, snd she came bark to America. I followed In November. She and her family were very indignant at the slight." Plvorce Suit Postponed. x The Baron said he had no knowledge of a divorce having been granted. He said that suit was filed some time ago and the case wss set for April 11- Then the 'International information bureau" wrote to inquire whether be Intended to contest and he replied that be would not If his wife wanted to be free. Further negotiations concerning the monetary settlement followed and the case was reset for trial next Septem ber. That was Its present status, for aught he knew. "Since things have gone as they have. I shall be glad to be rid of her. he said. All the Baron's financial transactions here were In good faith, said Voa Woellworth. yesterday, and. barring checks given for horses and equip ment, not yet delivered to him. amoun to a very small sum. This, he says wtl b. paPi off immediately when the re mlttance arrives, which will be within a fw days. The Baron Is held for the present on a charge of giving a small check to W. T. Tubbeslng. proprietor of the Barton Hotel, for room rent. 'Ha Is bound over to await the action of the grand jury, which will meet Tuesday. He says that he was drinking a bottle of wine with Tubbeslng. the complaining witness, when Ietectlves Msllet and Craddock came for him.

NO PERFECT SCORES MADE Old Ammunition Interferes With Good Work All New Supplies Sent to Troops Participating in Move on Mexican Border. The opening of the 1911 rifle prac tice season for the Oregon National Guard took 160 riflemen to the Inter state range at Clackamas Station yes terday. The six companies stationed In Portland went to the range on the early Southern Taclflc train and were Joined there by G Company from Ore gon City. The drill was taken up with the marksman course at 200; 3U0 and 600 yards. -v No perfect scores were recorded, al though several riflemen made from 4S to 49 out of 60 points possible. About SS per cent of those on the range quali fied as marksmen in covering the course. ' Many Improvements were found at the range where a force of workmen had been engaged for some time past. Twenty-seven targets are now in place and a considerable force can be put through at one time. The officers club house Is ready for use and will be formally opened next Sunday. A new arrangement for firing has been adopted by the range officers this season so as to enable the six Portland companies and the Oregon City com pany to fire on the range each Sunday, Heretofore two companies have occu pied the range each Sunday and rifle men have had an opportunity to shoot only once In three weeks. All avail able ammunition was found to be of the 1908 issue, which caused considerable metal fouling, this ammunition being somewhat old for use even In range practice. The new Issue of ball am' munition, together with the left-over supply of 1910. Is said to have been sent by the- War Department to the Mexican border. - Next Sunday the troops will again be put through the marksmen's course. On the following Sunday those who have qualified as marksmen will pro ceed to the sharpshooter's course and the expert riflemen's test. Adjutant-General Flnier and Colonel Dunbar, commanding the Third Regi ment, were among those who spent the day on the range. Man With 1 600 Missing.

NATIOi'J IN GOOD CONDITION Tariff Agitation Only an Incident Money Powers Awaiting Be-' visions of Supreme Court on Trust Cases. That the country in general is on the eve of renewed prosperity; that the tariff agitation will not affect condi tions materially, and that the decisions regarding the trusts by the United States Supreme Court to be made this Fall or Summer have already been dis counted, are the opinions expressed by James G. Cannon, president of the Fourth National Bank of New Tork City, who arrived yesterday from San Francisco, having left New York in his special car on April 7. During his journeylngs he visited Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and California and, after his stay in Port land, left last night for Seattle. He will return to this city on Tues day morning and leave that night for Denver, Omaho, Kansas City and To peka. From Topeka he will go to New York. He is accompanied by Mrs. Can non, his son-in-law. Rev. A. T. Tarn blln, his daughter and his private sec rotary, E. W. Davenport. They travel in a private car and have been enjoy ing their trip immensely. It is Mr. Cannon's first visit to Oregon, and to say that he Is pleased is "putting It mildly," as he expressed it. 'We are at the beginning of an era of good times," said Mr. Cannon. In giv ing his view of the financial situation. "My trip Is purely for the purpose of looking into the business conditions qf the country. To form an opinion. iook ursi it tne crops; second, tne banking conditions, and, third, general condition of merchandizing.- At every place that I have visited these subjects have been given a careful analysis so far as I am able to do. My view of the tariff agitation Is that it will not affect business ma- erlally, for the simple- reason that it is conceded that there will be no changes except In those cases already understood and upon which the coun try has formed an opinion. Conse quently we need have no fear from this source. I do not look to see anything materially harmful to come out of the present Congress in regard to the tariff. The decisions of the Supreme Court are Olng to be a blessing, in my opinion. Whatever the context of the decisions may happen to be, the financial circles of the country have al- , ready discounted them and are looking forward "for a clear cut definition of the Sherman anti-trust act so that we can act intelligently in the future with regard to Investments of the charac ter wnlch the decisions are intended to cover. Capital Want to Know Latv. "What we need at the present time is , an interpretation of the law pertaining to trusts over which there can be no further dispute. Capital will accept it and be glad to know how to invest its monej'. There is a vast difference in the investment of the public's money and in the money of your own. The vast deposits of the country are en titled to a fair return, and no banker or trustee desires to make an invest ment which will exact more than Is legally due, morally or otherwise. Most of the money Invested today Is made by trustees holding trust funds. These trustees, and the bankers are of that character, only desire to invest in ac cord with the law and wishes of the country. "The people of this country fix the basis and, of course, with that we must be content. So when the decision is given out to the awaiting public, it is to be hoped It will be clear, decisive and thoroughly understandable. If It Is there will be no harm and, instead, of great benefit to the country. "As to the Presidential election, it is too far ahead to make a prediction. There will be the usual hesitancy, I have no doubt, but in the main I look j forward to no difficulty in this direc tion. We are going- to go ahead, pos sibly not as fast as in some of the years of the past, but in Just the same ratio and for the better. In fact, I look for a good year in 1912. 'Future prosperity is certainly to be ours so far as I can see. The crop conditions throughout the country are good. Crops are the basis of our wealth and of our prosperity. The cost of living is decreasing, and the people are beginning to save. That Is in ev dence In the savings banks' reports In New York. These banks are for the sole benefit of the people, and the duties of the trustee of these funds are outlined in detail by the law. They cannot loan the faoney as a banker, nor can they run accounts as the banker does. The deposits In these institu tions, which, by the way, is the barom eter of the financial condition of our people, shows a larger Increase than at any similar period in five years. It means that the people arc beginning to save their money, showing that the country is on the road to prosperity. Banks Stronger; More Conservative. Then, again, there Is no expanding of banks, as in the past. The banks are In a- healthy condition, with good reserves, lessened loans and in per fectly sound shape. "In my travels I have found this to be the case of the banks in the West In particular. If the banks of the country are in sound and healty con dition, there is every reason to believe that good times are in store for us. In the matter of merchandizing I find that the stocks are light and that they are in need of replenishing, and that this fact also would lead to the con tusion that the country is goiner ahead. Collections throughout the country are in a rainy good shape and with the price of products at such a stage as would warrant good times among the , farmers. I can see no reason to an ticipate other than several good years ahead of us. "1 am very much surprised at the development of the Pacific Coast. It is a wonderful country. I am almost ashamed to say it. but I have not bPon on the Coast for ZO years. I was never in Oregon before. We in New York do not know much of the Pacific Coast. I believe we are Ignorant of its re sources. The truth of the matter is we should come out here oftener and get acquainted. I am glad to say that I have gained such information as I can by a visit here. You have a wonderful future and a wonderful country. There can be no limit to your development and I predict, as the Coast becomes bet ter known, that the East Will take a deeper interest in your localized de velopment. . . "There is absolutely no other signifl- ' cance to my long trip and visit to the various sections of the country than to become informed as to the conditions of banking and trade-in whatever re lation it may have with New York as the financial center of the country. I shall be able, when I arrive home, to make a report to my stockholders and to our patrons of the conditions as I found them." Upon the arrival of Mr. Cannon and his party he was met at the Union De pot by President Underwood, and Sec retary Smith, of the Portland Associa tion of Credit Men. They presented Mr. Cannon with a magnificent specimen of the Chinook salmon, one of the first caught of the season. It weighed SO pounds. The fish was put in the larder by the New York colored chef, who ac companied the party, with the remark: "If Jonah had seen dat salmon he would have died of Jealousy." Upon the return of Mr. Cannon and his party otl Tuesday he will be enter tained by the credit men with a lunch eon at the Commercial Club and In the afternoon an automobile drive. 231 WASHINGTON STi PORTLAND OK60K.
