PAGE SIX SUFFRAGE JURE TO WIN So Say Eastern Supporters of the Movement leaders Are Con fident. Portland, Ore. After an investi gation of equal suffrage conditions in Oregon, Miss Mary Wood and Miss Helen Varick Boswell of New York say they believe the women of Ore son will he granted the ballot after the election ia November. "The cause of suffrage in New York has been advanced more by proper organization than in any oth r way," said Miss Wood. 'The suf ragists have a captain to direct the work and a place of meeting. The members attend the public meetings, find out the sentiments of candidates, and make a house-to-house canvass by which they are enabled to judge of the strength of the suffrage move ment. These methods should be pur ned here. The precinct workers, lut recently organized under Mrs. A.. C Newill, have set about their work on the right lines and they will ac complish a wonderful amount of good. "All indications point to a success ful issue at the polls. I have spoken to many men on the subject since my arrival in Oregon, and one prominent business man told me that he had no doubt but that equal suffrage would pass. City and rural condi tions are favorable. I think that the fact that Oregon is surrounded by suffrage states will have a good in fluence with the voters. "I have met some of the so-called anti-suffragists, and not one seemed as if she had real convictions against the movement, but rather was op posed because of jury service and other duties to which she might be liable. .As I pointed out to these women, very few voters now serve on juries or want to do so, yet they would be indignant if their privilege were taken away from them for that reason." MYSTERY IN BOISE. Diamond RoMmtj- in Daylight Baf fles Detectives. Boise, Idaho. Completely baffled over the cleverest diamond robbery involving $5,000 worth of jewels, the police of this city are searching for a clew to the man who entered the jewelry store of J. T. Laughlin and slipped a wallet containing the unset diamonds into his pocket. Scores of private detectives, besides all of the plain-clothes men of the police force, have been baffled. For the purpose of making sure of bis ground, the robber entered the store on the night before the robbery and Inquired about a watch charm, talked about it for a while with the -elerk and then went out. Saturday be again entered the store, this time between 5 and 6 o'clock in the even ing, when hundreds of people were passing the place. Going up to the clerk; he inquired about the charm and asked him to look through the catalogues. When the clerk retired .to the rear of the store to do so the robber leisurely followed him. The big safe, located near where the clerk inspected the catalogues, was open at the time. While the clerk was busy, the robber quickly drew out the wal let and, after talking with the clerk, who had been unable to find the kind of charm the stranger wanted, walked out of the store and disap peared. That was the last seen of him. There were 25 diamonds in the wallet and several tameos. The dia monds were large, and a choice se lection. The store is insured by the Jewelers' Protective Association, which has placed its most skilled de tectives on the case. NEW SPEED RECORD. Aew York Girl Writes 11.1 Words a Minute on Tyjicivriter.

One of the most frightful accidents recorded in the county occurred last Thursday, when a team of mules driven by Henry Doan, a rancher on Little Mc Kay creek, became unmanageable and ran away in the field where James Doan was operating a mower. As the mules struck the mower' the machine was overturned and the team of horses drawing it started off at a mad gait. Doan was thrown from his seat and dragged for a con siderable distance, one wheel of the mower passing over his body. Hav ing freed themselves from the mow er and driver, the excited team dashed on until a deep open well was encountered and both animals plunged into the same. Before aid could reach them the horses were dead. The injured man, James Doan, was rushed by automo bile to the hospital, where it was found his hip was broken, and only by skilled surgical aid were two fin gers on his left hand saved. A long scalp wound was also sustained, as well as severe body bruises and cuts. Witnesses to the accident marvel that Doan was not killed outright when the wheel of the mower passed over him. That he escaped without being cut to pieces by the mower is considered marvelous. Physicians say he will recover. ADMIRAL AM) CITY IX TILT. Charleston CJate of Navy Ward Is Closed and Trade Is Diverted. . Puget Sound Navy Yard. Order ing the close of the Charleston eaia of the navy ward to all sailors and marines, tnus practically cutting the town of Charleston off from all trade from the vard. Rear Admiral V. L. Cottman has made an emphatic pro test against the refusal of Charles ton city council to revoke the license of the fourth saloon in the town. Charleston formerly had four sa loons, but one of the licenses was revoked last year because the place was improperly conducted. This left but three bars, and the city authori ties so reported to Admiral Cottman at the beginning of this year. Since that time the new marine barracks have been completed and occupied at the Charleston end of the yard. Recently George W. Oane, a rancher and former ealoon man, ap plied for the" fourth license and, hav ing no record against him, was granted it. The Charleston city council con tends that inasmuch as there were four saloons operating last year, the new license to Dane cannot be con sidered as an, extra saloon. ' Meanwhile there is considerable feeling on both sides of the contro versy. McXAMARA REBELLIONS. Confined in Dungeon Indefinitely for Breach of Discipline. San Qientin, Cal. After a week ji buiiluiv uununenient, J. a. Mc Naniara, one of the dynamiters of the Los Angeles Times building, stubbornly refuses to express any in tention to conform to the prison dis cipline. Warden Hoyle says he will be kept in a dungeon indefinitely. He has been repeatedly insubordi nate. His brother, J. J., is said to be a model prisoner. McNamara refuses to obey orders, is lawless in his demeanor and "win not submit to discipline, according to accounts received from the prison of ficials by Deputy Sheriff Manning. McNamara would not do his daily work in the jute mill. He is also be lieved to have been a ringleader in the recent uprising of convicts and it is suspected he knows a good deal of the conspiracy to burn the Jute mill and its valuable machinery. "The prison authorities have found J. B. a bad actor," said Manning. "He causes all the trouble he possi bly can. He assumes a sneering atti tude all the time. He will remain in the dungeon until thoroughly sub missive, the officials assured me. "It has been suggested that he Is trying to lay a foundation Tor an in sanity plea at some later date, but the officials declare it is a plain case or natural cussedness cropping out." CANDIDATES CANNOT ACT. Out nil Committee Must Do All, Under Minnesota Ruling. St. Paul. Candidates f6r office, under the Minnesota corrupt prac tices law, just passed, cannot even dictate political letters to their sten ographers unless they first make ar rangements for campaign commit tees, according to a ruling made here by Attorney General Smith, in re sponse to an inquiry from James A. Hall, county attorney at Marshall. This construction of the new act seems absurd, the attorney general admitted, but is justifiable by its text. In answering Hall's query the at torney general points out there fa no provision in the new law permitting a candidate to buy stationery, em ploy clerks, pay for headquarters, pay for lithographs or for the writ ing, addressing and mailing of cam palgn literature. On the other hand, campaign committees are authorized to do all these things: - Building on P. & E. Considerable building is being done along the line of the Pacific & Eastern between Medford and Eagle Point, in the way of warehouses and shipping stations to facilitate the shipment of produce grown in that section. The Rogue River Fruit and Pro duce Association has Just constructed a large warehouse at Davis to han dle fruit from that section, while Roguelands. Inc., have built two warehouses to handle shipments from their tracts, which are increas ing rapidly. . ASHLAND Oklahoma's Blind Senator And His Wife at Baltimore 4. 1 f J Mvx&"i f :;:! w ' ; & i w. 4 'fc vy ' V 7 4 v Photo copyright, 1912, by American Press Association, ALTHOUGH it Is not true, as some reports have It, that Senator Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma. Is attended on all his Journeys by his wife, it is a fact that his wide reading is accomplished through her. While he was practicing law she aided him by reading to him the authorities on his cases, and she still pursues with him his studies of political economy, history and biography, which form the bulk of their read ing. Their first meeting took place at a combination political gathering and picnic such as are common In the southwest, and the young man then and there determined that Miss Kay should be his wife. When the blind lawyer decided to make the campaign for the senatorship his wife and his brother entered actively into the work of canvassing In his behalf and conducted his entire correspondence. So helpful has Mrs. Gore been to her husband that. It is said, he does not think of his blindness as a cause for complaint or un happlness, his only worry being her rather delicate health. The photograph here reproduced was taken at the Baltimore convention. GAMBLER CONFESSES. Rumor Causes Consternation in Xew York Police Circles. New York. Consternation reigned at police headquarters at the spread of an unconfirmed report that a gam bler had made full confession of the gambling situation in New York to District Attorney Whitman. The gambler, whose name was not re vealed, was said to have been given immunity from proseciftion in return for his confession. Whitman made another demand that the police clear up the circunf stances surrounding Uie murder of Herman Rosenthal, who was shot shortly after he accused the police of protecting the gambling interests. Jack Rose, William Shapiro and Loufs Llbby, tne three men suspected of complicity imthe crime, remained in the Tombs prison. Shapiro and Libby are anxious to tell all they know in order' to secure immunity, but District. Attorney Whitman has refused to grant this. An applicant for citizenshin nnnern in Seattle the otl)er day was denied' them because he did not believe in organized government. i T mm good printer knows more of the economies of cost of production in his line than you, and don't Waste Time And Money looking for the lowest bidder, for, nine cases out of ten, he is offering inferior goods.

Formal Action Taken in Impeach, nient of Archbald. Washington, D. C. The impeach ment of Judge Robert W. Archbald, of the commerce court, was formally laid before the senate last week by the committee managers of the house, headed by Representative Henry D. Clayton, chairman of the judiciary committee. Clayton read the resolution under which the house directed the commit tee to present the impeachment to the senate, but before he concluded, and before he could begin upon the articles of impeachment, oenator Lodge of Massachusetts pointed out that the rules provided for a proc lamation by the senate sergeant-at-arms. The house managers then retired and Colonel Daniel Ransdell, ser-geant-at-arms, made the formal proc lamation. Clayton then read the long document of Impeachment.

Egg Swallowed in, Drinking Water Just Before Hatching, Washington. A frog that crawled and clawed and croaked lived Tor nearly a year in the stomach of Mrs. L. V. King of Deanwood. After clawing away at the lining of the woman's stomach until it was raw. almost strangling her as it climbed into her throat, and reducing her to a living skeleton, it was final ly extracted by physicians or the emergency hospital by a large pump. The frog is preserved in alcohol. It is a weak, colorless, wrinkled, shapeless specimen which bears a faint resemblance to the normal frog. It's legs are long and scrawny and thin as toothpicks. It measures about seven inches. Just as it was breaking out of the egg, the tadpole was swallowed by Mrs. King in well water last August. Weeks passed before the woman real ized there was some living animal in her stomach. She consulted doctors, but they laughed. Last spring the frog, then reach ing its full growth, began to climb into her throat and nearly suffocated her. It clawed away at the mem brane until she fainted with pain. Still the doctors, when told of her fears, laughed. , Two months ago, Mrs. King de clares, the frog began to croak. She distinctly heard it, and her relatives bear her out. This determined her to leave the physicians of Deanwood alone and consult "city doctors." She did so. She went to the emer gency hospital and the frog was pumped out. The frog lived for ten minutes in a tub of water. It croaked just like any regular frog. Then it died. According to physicians, this Is the first time on record that any animal as large as a frog has lived in a hu man stomach as much as eleven months. MOVING SIDEWALK. Xew York Will Start Construction of Novel Device. New York. A new form of tran sit, not attempted hitherto in any part of the world, is to be introduced in New York as soon as the actual work of construction can be complet ed. This was made certain by the action of the public service commis sion last week authorizing the build ing of an underground moving side walk to extend across Manhattan underneath Thirty-fourth street, which has become so congested at the important crossings as to make the progress of pedestrians difficult and at certain hours of the day al most impossible. The new system, which is to have its first practical use here, consists of a series of continuous platforms placed side by side biU moving at different rates, of speed, which are so graduated that passengers can pass from one platform to another without inconvenience. Seats will be provided for those who wish to use them, but it is expected that the new transportation line will be used very largely by persons who are go ing only a block or two and who will prefer to stand. It Is claimed that for short distances this is the most rapid system of transportation possi ble to devise, as the vehicle itself never stops, while passengers may get on or alight at any point. It is said that the new road will easily be able to handle a million passen gers a day. BAXDOX WORK NEARLY DONE. Projects at Siuslaw und Coos Bay Said to Be Progressing. As soon as a shoal is removed near Bandon, on which the depth has de creased from one to two feet, the improvement project under way at that harbor will be finished, and it is thought that the labor will be brought to a close during the pres ent month. A dredge employed there is doing maintenance work and it will be ordered out of commission at the same time. Information from the Siluslaw district is that Johnson, Anderson & Company are making headway. From Coos Bay comes word that the 18-foot channel project to Marshfield will be completed early "in Septem ber, but that does not mean that work on the bar will be suspended, as the new dredge. Colonel Michie, is being constructed at Seattle for that purpose. There alsd will be maintenance continued inside the bar. WOMEX CACGHT IX RAID. Wife of Berkeley Physician Accused ; of Selling Pools.
