ONXY KAISER CAN AXSWEB Seymour's Opinion on Chance of Anglo-German War. NEW YORK. Oct. 9. "While prepar ing to sail on the cruiser-battleship Inflexible, after participating in the Hudson-Fulton celebration. Admiral of the Fleet Sir Edward H. Seymour, com manding the British squadron, is quoted as expressing himself for the first time, on the talk of war between Germany and Great Britain. "In my experience with the Germans In all parts of the world," he said. "I have always found that they strictly observed the proprieties." Asked whether he thought there was nr. probability of war between Eng land and Germany, 'Admiral Seymour replied that the German Emperor was the only person who could answer that question satisfactorily. Personally, he hoped not, as war today meant a great loss of life and expense, which must be met by taxation, and in his opin ion it was wrong even to discuss pub licly the likelihood of war between two friendly nations. "Do you think Germany Is preparing for war?" he was asked. "Germany Is Increasing her navy," said Admiral Seymour, "but I cannot tell you the reason, because I do not know it. The millennium is not yet in sight, and nations have to be pre pared for war. It Is easy to inflame the minds of one, people against an other and then one never knows what may happen."

PETITION IS READ TO HER Dr. Wood and Attorney Barrett, of Hlllsboro, Explain Why Patient Was Placed in Sanitarium. Estate Is Well Cared For. HILLS BORO, Or, Oct. . (Special.) Mrs. Hannah Purser, the aged Beav erton woman who has been creating a sensation by running away from the Crystal Springs Sanitarium, in East Portland, is the wife of the late David Purser, at one time known as the "Onion King of the lowlands east of this city. Mrs. Purser, while in the Portland sanitarium, under date of June 19, wrote Dr. W. E "Wood, State Senator of this city, asking hlnf to come to Portland, as she wished to talk to him about the care of her property. As the physician knew at once that the letter was not in Mrs. Purser's hand writing, he replied and sent word ask ing who the' writer was. The reply came back that the writer was a Miss Nettle Free, a nurse of Salem, and that she had written at the request of Mrs. Purser. Dr. Wood then went to Portland after the pas sage of two or three letters, and At torney W. N. Barrett. Joint Senator for this district, went with him, and at Mrs. Purser's request drew a petition asking the Probate Judge of Washing ton County to nominate Dr. Wood as her guardian, and desiring that he exe oute a bond in the sum of 120,000. Woman Understood Proceedings. After the petition was drawn up, the paper was read carefully to Mrs. Purser by Attorney Barrett, who says the woman fully understood the pro ceedings. The appointment was made and the bond approved by the County Court. Dr. Wood was given the keys to the Purser home, and the order for her II 41 llff "'11,1 1 1?J lit I f Iff 'Pp4Wh h 4fffh?Ji W I i 1 .' . J lift to? S 1 4 r V ' ff 4 fen .- ; i kill private box at a bank containing her money and private papers. The doctor secured the btx and found In it several hundied dollars more money than Mrs. Purser had represented. Mrs. Purser remained at the sani tarium until July 13, when she asked to be taken away. She was brought to Hlllsboro and remained at the doc tor's home two nights, and was then sent to the home of Mrs. A. R. Lincoln, at Hlllsboro, for care. She remained there a month and became unmanage able and was then sent to the Crystal Springs Sanitarium, where she could receive the medical care and attention her condition demanded. Patton Home Refused Patient. Mrs. Purser was only taken to the Crystal Springs establishment after the Patton Home had refused to care for her, and after she had been refused admittance to the St. Joseph's Home for the Aged. Dr. Wood stated tonight that he was drawn into the matter through Mrs. Purser's request, and that after the nomination as guardian was mads she appeared much pleased. He stated that the estate was worth $19,500, of this $12,000 'being real estate and personal property and the balance money and bonds. He said that his bond was a sufficient guarantee that he would per form the duties of his charge faith fully and that he feared nothing, but very much disliked the cheap notoriety circumstances had brought about. As a matter of fact, at one time C H. Fry, a real estate man of Beaver ton, had sworn to a complaint charg ing Mrs. Purser with Insanity, but the paper was never filed. Mrs. Purser has been very erratic for some years and has -made several wills, making other people than her nephew, Charles John son, legatees. When asked if he had talked with the nephew prior to his appointment as guardian. Dr. Wood re plied in the negative, and said he had never talked with the relative until he went to Beaverton to take charge of the property. ' Attorney Bagleiy Indignant. Dr. Wood also said: "I have had several chances to rent the Beaverton residenoe, but have refrained from so doing, because I hoped the patient would become sufficiently composed to allow her to remain at home in charge of a nurse, but as yet I have been unable to make these arrangements. All this talk of a conspiracy Is non sense." Attorney H. C. Bagley, when seen to night, insisted he had been misquoted in regard to proposed habeas corpus proceedings, and was indignant at the sensational turn given to the proceed ings. He insisted that he was perfectly satisfied that Dr. wood remain guar dian of his client. Piano tuning. The Wiley B. Allen Co. LOST ON MAIDEN VOYAGE STEAMER OCEAV QCEEN GOES DOWN OFF TAHITI.
