GLADSTONE'S LIFE SYS STOR Chautauqua Hears English Speaker in Interesting Address. GOVERNOR SPEAKS TODAY "State Institutions" Will Bo Topic at Morning Session Athletic F vents Drawing Feature of Programme. CHAUTAUQUA GR0TJXD8. Gladstone, Park. Or, July 14. (Special.) That Gladstone repented and suffered the severest anguish for years for his fa vorable attitude toward the South dur iug the Civil War. was the declaration made by Dr. Charlea P. Aked. formerly In charge of one of the largest churches In Liverpool. In his address on "Glad stone. His Legacy to the English Peo ple." at the Willamette Valley Chau tauqua today. The speaker said thst the great statesman thoroughly real ixed his mlstske and that this was one of the signs of his greatness. "In the portrait galleries of the world you will not find a greater con trast between great men than that be tween Gladstone and Lincoln." said Dr. Aked. "The one essentially refined and the other essentially rough. The one born In squalid poverty, the other the natural born heir If the world's culture, associated from youth with the world's greatest leaders and with the path to greatness smoothed. Comparison Is Prawn. "The Intellect of the one simple, di rect, abounding In quips, cranks snd homely anecdote; the other with intel lect molded upon the classics. The face of one. more marked, bears all the signs of mortal suffering to cover tears and rough clothing to cover a sad dened spirit. The other walks with a conqueror'! step. Both are one In de votion, patriotism and love of human liberty. "Lincoln always loved liberty. Glad stone was born to a belief that liberty would be a had thing for the world and later acquired different Ideals through travail and hard knocks. "The wonderful thing Is that our hu- rram nature found Itself capable of re sponding to the appeal of Gladstone and Lincoln. Dr. Aked gave a shoct history of Gladstone's life, detailing his political achievements, relating touching and humorous anecdotes and quoting lib erally from Gladstone's diary. He showed Gladstone to have been a won derfully rollglous man. In speaking of Gladstone's attitude In the Alabama Claim cases. Dr. Aked said: Arbitration Step Taken. "Hi prevented a long and bloody war between the two leading branches of the English-speaking races. This was the first move toward the permanent arbitration treaty now under consider ation. His goodness and greatness of heart belonged not only to his own peo ple, but to the whole world. Salisbury, his most capable opponent, called Gladstone The Great Christian.' "Gladstone at 12 was the handsomest boy 1 that ever entered Eton. , He studied for the ministry, but chose a political career, that he might do the most good possible. That he did not approve of war Is evident from hts statement. The law of love Is not con fined to the British Islands, but it cov ers the whole world and all peoples.' " Dr. Aked closed with the following quotation from Gladstone's diary: "The great end of my life must be to make the love of God the habit of my soul."

James Soeby, Famed for Floating Farm, Chooses Death to Taking' Life of Tormentor. VANCOUVER, Wash.. July 14. (Spe claL) Confronted with the strange di lemma of having to murder another man or kill himself, according to his own statement, James P. M. Soeby. a veteran of the Spanish-American War, chose suicide as the way out of It last night, and shot himself through the head with a shotgun, on his famous floating farm, near Fellda. Soeby's floating farm, which had long been the wonder of folk for miles about, consisted of three large rafts, covered with a flooring of earth, and moored in the middle of a slough. On one raft he had built a house, on an other a lodging-house for transient fishermen, his own dwelling, a ware house for storing nets and fishing par aphernalia, a chicken-house with a grassy yard for the fowls to run In, and on a third a large garden In which he raised vegetables and fruits. Mischievous persons had pullod up Soeby's anchors several times recently, permitting his farm to drift down stream, later to stick hard and fast in the mud on shore, where he was liable to arrest as a trespasser. Yesterday he found that this trick had been played on him again. With the assist ance of W. F. Simpson, a neighbor, he worked far Into the night In a vain ef fort to tow the farm back to Its moor ing in midstream. Discouraged, he waited until his wife ha,d retired, left a note declaring that affairs had reached such a pass that he would have to murder his tor mentors or kill himself to keep from doing so, placed a shotgun against his forehead and fired It by pressing the trigger with his toes. He was Instant ly klUed. Soeby was a gifted violinist and gave music lessons in his strange dwelling. He was SI years old. and saw much hard service In the Philippines with the Fourteenth ' Infantry. He has two brothers In South Dakota. His funeral will be held Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Spanish-American War Veterans.
