ALBERT KINNEY CASS
SUPREME COURT ADJOURNS
Washington, Dec. 22. The United
States supreme court adjourned to
day until January 5, 1914, wlthou
deciding any important pending
cases.
EMPLOYES OF STATE TO
WORK EIGHT HOURS
Salem, Dec. 23. Sweeping in its
scope, the supreme court today hand
ed down an opinion holding that the
eight-hour law passed by the initia
tive and re-enacted by the last legis
lature applies to all state employes.
The effect of this interpretation of
the law will place all the state in
stitutions on an eight-hour basis, the
employes being limited to 48 hours
a week. State officials declare this
will cause a deficiency in the main
tenance appropriation of every in
stitution. The opinion was handed down in
a habeas corpus proceeding brought
by Superintendent Steiner of the
state hospital for the insane, who
was arrested on complaint of State
Labor Commissioner Hoff for work
ing an employe more than eight
hours a day, so as to test the law.
Not only will it require thousands
of dollars more funds to maintain
the institutions but State Treasurer
Kay says he believes it will be Impos
sible for the state to run the insti
tutions in compliance with the law.
The institutions run seven days a
week and Kay points out, even if
the employes are put on eight-hour
shifts, six" days a week, some other
arrangements will have to be made
to meet the exigencies of the seventh
day.

AVIDSON
Ottawa, Ont., Dec. 22. Govern
ment officials expressed deep interest
today in the account, telegraphed
from Saa Francisco, of Captain T. C.
Pederseu's views concerning Ex
plorer Stefansson's loss of his ship
Karluk, and especially In the sus
picion he was quoted as expressing
that discontent on .the part of the
members of the Karluk's crew might
have had more to do with Stefans
son's separation from the rest of the
expedition than a mere desire to go
ashore- to hunt. Inasmuch as it was
Pedersen who took the Karluk from
San Francisco to British Columbian
waters, where he conferred at length
with Stefansson before turning the
vessel's command over to Captain
Robert Bartlett. Peary's old sailing
master, he was recognized here as
speaking with considerable authority.
Considering the nature of the party
on board the Karluk when, accord
ing to Stefansson's account, it was
blown to sea while he and his lieu
tenants were ashore looking for
game, Federsen refused to believe
that the trouble between the expedi
tion's head and his followers led the
former to believe he would be safer
on land or that those on the ship
left him for any reason except the one
Stefansson himself gave that they
could not help themselves.
Though anxious to accept Peder
sen's view that the Karluk will turn
up safely next summer when the Arc
tic ice breaks, there was also a dis
position here to fear he was over
hopeful, and in support of this Judg
ment his own story of the loss of his
ship, tho gasoline schooner Elvln,
was cited.
In view of his statement that the
season was the worst In the memory
of the oldest Arctic navigators, offi
cials who were identified with the
origin of the Stefansson expedition
did not understand the grounds for
Pedrsen's views.
GRAND OPERA SINGER
THROUGH WITH HURRY
Philadelphia, Dec. 22. That the
production of mesotherium, the sub
stitute for radium, will be progress
ing on a commercial scale by next
year was announced today by Dr.
Harlan Minor, a chemist for a drug
manufacturing concern here. The
substitute, medical authorities have
said, has the same curative qualities
in cancer cases as radium itself. It
was discovered by Mme. Currie, but
has not been extensively produced
heretofore.
Derived from thorium, and found
mainly In the Carollnas, chemists
pronounce it much -more quickly and
easily manufactured than radium.
Chicago. Dec. 22. Suit for di
vorce from her husband, William
Rapp, Jr., on the ground of deser
tion, was filed today in the superior
court by Madame Ernestine
Schumann-Ileiuke, the famous sing
er. Rapp lives in New York and the
diva makes her home here.
Temperamental differences, close
friends of the couple said, made do
mestic happiness impossible. It was
also asserted that they disagreed
over large sums of money which
Madame Schumann-Heinke spent in
training her children. It was said
Rapp objected to these expenditures.
San Diego, Cal., Dec. 22. A mar
riage of business convenience. That
is the explanation given today by
some of Madame Schumann-IIelnke's
many friends here for her contein
plated step for filing suit for divorce
from her husband in Chicago. Rapp
became the singer's husband in 1905.
For some time he had been her man
ager and practically private secretary
and, it Is said, was so familiar with
all her business affairs that she trust
ed to him In almost all matters con
nected with her tours and engage
ments. Their marriage was proposed,
It Is said, by friends of the two as a
good way to continue these relations
without embarrassment, and these
friends are said to have-expressed the
confidence that, If love was lacking,
it would soon grow between the
couple. For two or three years, how
ever, the diva and Rapp have not
been living together, and much of
tho time when not on tour Schumann
Heinke has spent at her mountain
home near this city. The diva Is 52
years old. She married Mr. Helnke
In 1882. Her second husband waa
Paul Schumann, a notd German
actor, who died about ten years ago.
Her devotion to her children and to
a erandchlld, recently horn, has
marked her life here.
CONGRESSMAN PEPPER DEAD
Clinton. Iowa. Dec. 22. Congress
man Tepper ot Iowa died here today
of typhoid fever.
(By a United Press Staff Cor.
respondent.)
Mexico City, Dec. 23. That Brit
ish interests have hatched a scheme
to buy General Huerta out and seat
a Mexican provisional president of
their own choice was widely rumored
here today.
As the initial step so tha story
ran Lord Cowdray, head of the
British Pearson syndicate, will sur
render to the Mexican government
January 1 his fifty-year right to one
third of the Tehuntepec railroad's
earnings, receiving In return for it
12,000.000 pesos in Mexican bonds.
Of these bonds, it was said, 3,000,
000 pesos would be converted into
cash immediately and returned to the
Mexican government.
Huerta, it was assumed, would
pocket the money promptly and re
sign. In his place there would be
substituted, the reports had it, what
ever provisional president the Bri
tons nominated and the British gov
ernment would ask other nations to
recognize him until a regular elec
tion could be held.
President Wilson was understood
to be aware of this plan, though what
he thought of it no one professed to
know.
The Bank of London and Mexico.
the Banco Naclonal and the Banco
Central, which closed their doors yes-
erday as a result of prolonged runs
on them, re-opened today, declining
to take advantage of President
Huerta'8 proclamation, intended to
give them time to recuperate, of a
holiday from December 22 to Janu
ary 1.
Officials of all three bnnks said
they would have plenty of money If
given time to make collections. In
deed, it was generally known that
their assets were ample and that It
was only of actual cash they were
short.
Huerta gave a reception to the di
plomatic corps In honor of his saint's
day, from which, however, American
Charge d'Affalrs O'Shanghnessy was
absent.

California Woman Seriously Alarmed
"A short time ago I contracted a
severe cold which settled on my lungs
and caused me a great deal of annoy
ance. I would have bad coughing
spells and my lungs were so sore and
inflamed I began to be seriously
alarmed. A friend recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, say
ing she had used it for years. I
bought a bottle and It relieved my
cough the first night, and in a week
I was rid of the cold and soreness 'of
my lungs," writes Miss Marie Gerber,
