THE MOUSING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, JXTNJE Z6. V9TZ. POLICE AUTO IS HIT BY CAR: 5 WED Patrolman Keegan's Legs Are Crushed-Other Persons in Patrol Bruised. TWO CARMEN ARRESTED Crash Occurs When Department's Machine Is at Third and Everett Streets Patrol Was Badly Wrecked in Accident. While responding- to a hurry-up call to the Aflh-atreet dock, where It was reported that two perrons were about to Jump into the river, the police auo patrol was run Into and wrecked by a St. Johns car at the corner of Third and Burnslde streets at 1 o'clock Tues day morning. The legs of Patrolman Keegan were so badly crushed that It may be neces sary to amputate them. The other four occupants of the patrol were painfully bruised. Patrol'. Speed Slow. Were it not for the fact that the ma chine was running at a moderate rate of speed, most of the occupants prob ably would have been killed or severe ly Injured. Ray King, who was in the machine, sustained a badly wrenched shoulder. The patrol was proceeding east on Everett street, with gong clamoring loudly, when at the turn It was hit by the streetcar going ahead at full speed. For a moment the patrol seemed about to topple over, but through the force of its own momentum It righted Itself. It was dragged along about 30 feet with the trolley car before it stopped. Patrolman Keegan was Bitting on the right side, and beslue him was Captain Keller. Keegan would have been knocked off and probably ground to death had nftt Captain Keller held him. Pbyalelaa Is I.Jurrd. Dr. J. Ettelaon. who had been sum moned on the call in the belief that medical assistance might be necessary, was cut about the forehead. Other oc cupants were Patrolman Schaffer, who was at the wheel, and L, A. Farnaworth, a newspaper man. F. H. Englln wa motorman on the car that struck the machine and O. B. Henderson was the conductor. Both were arrested. The right side of the auto patrol was crushed. and Greek and mathematics. If a boy was compelled to study Demosthenes in freshman year, her must have learned Greek grammar and Xenophon before he came In order to be able to go on with Demosthenes successfully. If Instead of studying Demosthenes he was allowed - to study elementary French or elementary chemistry, Greek no longer became a necessary preparation. It was a mere requirement for ad mission a requirement which high schools that did nQt have a' course in Greek were apt to think quite arbi trary and unnecessary. For side by side nalth the introduction of the elec tive system the idea became prevalent among our teachers that one kind of knowledge was for all practical pur poses equivalent to another kind of knowledge. This view Is fortunately not so pre valent today as it waa 10 or 15 years ago. But enough remains of this idea of equivalence of different branches of knowledge to make it necessary for the college which Insists on having one rather than another to prove its caser to show that the students who wish to pursue its courses are better off with Latin and mathematics than sociology or domestic science. ... I believe that we should do well to admit men to college whose average is well above the passing mark even though there are some subjects in which they are deficient. At -present we admit a man who Just passes on all hts subjects, while we condition th roan who does brilliantly, on three quarters of them and has not prepared himself on the others. Yet in the raa Jority of Instances a man of the latter type is likely to prove a better ttu dent than a man of the former typn.

C, sets itself up as the real Athens of America. Boston and Indianpaolis may pick up the gauntlet it they choose. Tryon is unterrlfled.. It boasts that in propor tion to population it has more literary geniuses and near geniuses than any other place in America. The population of Tryon Is only 400 or 500, to be sure; so that half a dozen celebrities would make a pretty good showing. But the little mountain town has much more claim to a literary fla vor than so small a colony would im part. In the Manufacturers Record the following list is given of people who either have made Tryon their perma nent home or who spend a large part of their time there. William Gillette, the actor-play wright, years ago sought rest and rec reatlon In Tryon. He built a home here and from time to time has added to hia real estate holdings until he now owns 1000 to 1500 acres of land, some of which has been put into cultivation, but most of which will be kept in its pris tine beauty of a great natural park. His brother-in-law. George Warner, who la associated in literary work with his brother. Charles Dudley Warner, manages Gillette's Interests and makes Tryon hla permanent home. Dr. Henry Garriguea, a writer on. medical questions and a -man of inter national fame, makes Tryon his per manent home. Dr. Bedell, author of numerous scientific articles, has for some years been a Tryonite. Mrs. Peat tie. author of "The Edges of Things" and "The Beleaguered Forest." and William Hawley Smith, author of "The Evolution of Dodd," 'The Spectators' and "All the Children of All the.Peo pie." count Tryon as their home. So does Mrs. Ersklne, author of "The Mountain Girl" and "When the Gates Lift Up Their Heads." - Others are George Broadhurat. play wright, author of ."The Man of the Hour." "Bought and Paid For" his plsy,- "An American Lord." was writ ten In Tryon Frank Spearman, au thor of "Whispering Smith"; Margaret Morley. writer of nature stories; Dr. Edward Emerson, son of Ralph Waldo Emerson and editor of his lather s let ters; Frank Brown, editor of the Dial; Claude Washburn, author of "A Page From the Book of Paris"; Miss Mary Large, author of "The Twelfth Juror"; Mrs. Coonley Ward, who writes as Lvdia Avery Coonley. author of "Un der the Pines"; Miss Edith Garrlgues, a portrait painter; Miss Lois Wilcox and Louis RoweU, landscape artists. VANCOUVER, Wash.. June 25. (Spe clal.) For the want of a stout piece of leather to the neckyoke of a buggy he engaged yesterday to visit Venners borg. Professor Williams, of a Portland business college, tonight is suffering with a badly fractured left leg. He was taken from here to his home In Wood lawn, Portland, late this evening, after being brought 18 miles In an automo bile for surgical attention. Professor Williams came to Vancou ver yesterday and boarded the electric to Orchards, where he engaged a team and buggy to take him to Vennersborg. He engaged a driver also. On the re turn trip the neckyoke straps broke and a runaway down a steep hill re suited. After dashing along for quarter of a mile,- the team ran into the side of a bridge, precipitating the occupants into the ditch in a mass of wreckage, and breaking the left leg of Mr. Williams squarely off Just above the ankle. It has not been determined whether amputation will be necessary. The accident happened near Venners borg and the injured were taken to the home of nearby residents t until aid from Vancouver could be summoned. R. S. Thompson, a real estate broker. brought the injured man .o Vancou ver in an automobile. 'NO THIRD PARTY' STUBBS Governor Says There Is No Need, as T. R. Will Sweep Kansas. TOPEKA. Kan. June J5. "There will be no third party in Kansas," waa the statement today by Governor Stub 6s. "There la no need of a third party in this state. But Roosevelt's name will be on the ballot In Kansas in No vember and the Colonel will sweep the state." Petitions are being circulated in Kan sas to ' nominate under the state pri mary law a set of 10 Presidential elec tors favorable to President Taft. The Taft men are afraid Republican elec tors favorable to Colonel Roosevelt whose petitions already are filed will not vote tor. the President. PREPARING FOR COLLEGE President Hadley of Yale Deplores Passing of "Old Days." The Annual Report of President Had ley of Tale. In the old days we used to speak of boys being, "prepared for college." We now speak of their meeting "require ments for admission." The difference of mental attitude on the part of the teachers, the pupils and the public which is represented by these two phases Is very great Indeed. : When the college course consisted criefly of advanced Latin and Greek and mathematics, it was an obvious necessity for the boy who came to col leg to have studied elementary Latin CANDY SUSPECT JAILED EX-SWEETHEART OP "DEAD IDAHO GIRL IS SULLEN.

DUBLIN, June 25. (Special.) Th present home rule bill is converting Unionists to home rule. The most re cent recruit is Sir Morgan O'Connell, who shows that the bill does not mean separation, but is the only possible policy, and the Unionists have no al ternatlve. Sir Morgan says that for 40 years the Irish Nationalist party has in season and out of season de manded and agitated for Home Rule. This party has been able to present at Westminster only by the financial sup. port received from the Kngiisn-speaa lng countries the world over. Much of this financial support has come from extremists, and to obtain it extreme views have been given utterance to, and in Ireland, unfortunately, extremes of agitation resorted to. No one can possibly condemn many of the speeches and much of the agitation more than do. So much for the past. The Liberal party has brought in this bill now before the House of Com mons. Its most strenuous opponent cannot say that it is separation, and if an act of Parliament means anything, this bill never can lead to separation. In Its details this bill may be un workable, its finance may be bad, and it certainly will require amendment in many ways. The entire Nationalist party has accepted this bill in full dis charge of all its claims to self-govern ment. The House of Lords will doubt less refuse to pass any bill, no matter how amended, that can be called home rule. - So much for the present. General Electloa No Help. Now, let me assuMie that a general election does take place, and that the Unionist party is returned to power. Can it hope to have and to keep such a majority as will enable it to look upon the votes of 81 Nationalist members as of no account whatever? These Nation allst members will not, for the future, have to collect the world over for thei support at Westminster they will be there In receipt of 22000 a year each from the British taxpayer and their one and only object in remaining there will be to force on home rule, and pos slbly obstruct other business by all means in their power, in this tney will undoubtedly be helped by an In creased labor vote and by such Lib erals as are left in the House. Mr. Bonar Law at Belfast promised tariff reform and extended land pur chase as a substitute for this bill. Both of these are very excellent things for Ireland, I believe, but "killing home rule by kindness will be an expensive business for the British taxpayer. Fif ty millions of money have already ac tually been nald to. promote la nd pur. chase, and as far as I know not even one district councillor outside uiste. Is any less vehement in his demand cor home rule, so that It is a nice mathe matical calculation how many millions it will take to make 81 Nationalist members into good Unionists. Unionist Is Converted. I am an Irish landlord who bas lived all mv life in Ireland. I have always been a Unionist because eaxed that home rule meant separa tion. Separation bas been burled ty the acceptance of this bill. To me there seem to be two ways, and two ways only, out of the position as It ovists: 1. The giving to Ireland tne Tight to manage her own local anaira ana iu thus turn her from being a danger into belnsr a strength to England. 2. To leave these tilings as tney are. and to disenfranchise every Nationalist constituency. - .- WINS HIS SUBJECTS. Christian, .of Denmark, .Has Many Sterling, Endearing Qualities. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Christian, the new Danish ruler, is in the very prime of life, ana leaas an ao- nlatelv correct life. He Is serious- minded and full of energy, so that the lunnia of his realm are Justified In looking forward to the new reign with the keenest appreciation, no is ex ceedingly clever, and has given himself systematically to stuuy. tie passed ihrnnrh a whole course at me uni vorsitv of Copenhagen, where ne studied law and political economy, and even possesses a pilot certiiicate, thins- verv much needed among his se and-soiind-and-bav-girded little land. To the Danish army, however, ne nas given his chief work. He is known as an officer or oruuani qualities, uhb who is not afraid to take a decided line of action if he believes that tne inter (tnts nf the nation require it Through always "correct," he Is democratic and dislikes formality, but In conversation with any one, no mat ter in what walk of life, he will soon get all that is to be known out of his man. The breath of rumor has never touched the King. In 1898 he married Princess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg, a sister of the German Crown Princess. She is an exemplary mother to her two young sons. Christian is anything but a "sober, somber, gloomy" Hamlet. His tact has kept him free from an political einoar rassments and has earned him the loy alty of the Danes, long before ne ascended the throne of the Vikings. In fact, the people are so fond of him that they presented him with the mag nificent palace of Marsellsborg, near Aa.rb.us. EUGENICS A SUCCESS HERE A Community in New York City Has Fifty Healthy Children. Marguerite Mooers Marshall In the New York Evening World. . Eugenics is unquestionably .the science of the moment. Only the movement for better breed ing of the human race is so very new that most of its advocates necessarily deal with theory alone. It Is, perhaps, not generally realized that in New York la the one spot where for more than 60 years eugenics has been made a matter of careful and com prehensive practice. The result, says james a. Merricx, head of the Oneida Lake Community of Perfectionists, "goes to show that the children of carefully selected par ents are at least six times as tit as the children born of the average bit-or-miss marriage. The children in our -community.

More bonds, more stock, more capitaliza- tion heaped upon Portland. What does the communityneed in the way of electric lighting? Just enough capital invested to give serv ice at a reasonable rate. ' Is there enough. now invested? Yes, the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company has sufficient capital invested to meet all of Portland's demands for electric service. Say, for example, that the new concern puts in $5,000,000 and the old has $5,000,000 invested, and that 20,000 customers are served. Do not the 20,000 customers pay interest upon $10,000,000 when one company with an inter; 'est charge of $5,000,000 would serve the same purpose? They certainly do.
