BOLSHEVIKI IS PEEVED
Trotzky Says Genauny Must Come
Up to the Murk Teuton Press
Violently Criticize Presi
dent's Message.
(By Associated Press.)
NBWI YORK, Jan. 11. Reports
reaching here through various chan
nols Indicate that despite the pro-
teBts of Lenine Trotzky, who heads
the Bolshevik!, peace' negotiations,
which are not altogether harmonious,
will be continued between Germany
and Russia at. Brest-Litovsk. Before
leaving Petrograd ostensibly for Fin
land, but probauly for Stockholm,
for a conference with the Austro-
German socialists, Premier Trotzky
declared that In event the central
powers do not accept Russian peace
terms, the Bolshevlkl will declare
war against Germany. Both sides to
tho proposition aro sparing for a
chance to gain an advantage, and the
bone of contention being Poland and
pther Russian provinces already oc
cupied by Germany, likelihood of
peace without annexations.! is dis
tasteful to the Huns.
President Wilson's message de
lining just what the Unlteu States
will contend for, involving surrender
of all occupied terirtory, indemni
ties for Belgium, Alsace-Lorraine
and other features detrimental to
German ambition, lyis incited bitter
hostility, and initial comment of the
German pross is a scathing criticism
of the position taken by this gov
ernment. New Russian Republic.
PETROGRAD, Jan. 11. Accord
ing to reports reaching here from
Rostov, the Republic of the lion,
with General Kaledines as president
has been declared by the people of

y. s.
The following dispatch, having Its
origin at Salem, appeared in th'.s
morning's Portland Oregnninn:
SALEM, Or., Jan. 10. A. C. Mars
lers, of Roseburg, president of the
state fair board. Intends to become a
candidate for United States senator
and will announce his candidacy in
the uear future, according to his Sa
lem friends.
Mr. Marsters' name was mentioned
as a possibility lor appointment to
the senatorshlp. following the death
of Senator Lane, and since that time,
it is understood, he has been urged
by his many friends to enter the con
test. He also has received a num
ber of petitions, It is said, asking
him to beeome a candidate. .
Mr. Marsters has served as a mem
ber of the state fair board for'a num
ber of years, being electeu president
only a few days ago to succeed W. H.
Savage, of Corvallls.
. With the possibility of S. B. Hus
ton entering the race, 'and mention of
Mr. Marsters' name, there may be
lour contenders for the toga at the
coming primaries. It Is not crtatn
that tho announcement of these two
men will close the field, as there
have been rumors of other aspirants.
When Interviewed by a News rep
resentative today in reference to the
above dispatch Mr. Marsters would
neither confirm or deny the report
that lie was considering entering the
race for United States senator. How
ever, it has been known locally for
some time that he hndi been urged to
give tho mutter of becoming a candi
date for senator serious thought, but
to this date has not arrived at any
definite decision. Mr, Marsters'
Weil-known ability to handle big
problems his excellent executive at
tainments and efficiency in public
affairs all goes to make him a most
formidable candidate, should he com
ply with the wishes of his many
friends.

DEFEATED IN EUGENE
Eugene Guard: The basket ball
famp between the Koseburg hlirh
school team and the local high
senool quintet will bo held at the
v. hlnh school gymnastic tonight. Tho
Roseburg Jeam, which arrived this
morning, is a husky bunch and sev
eral piayea on me- cnamplonshlp
team last year.
Eugene's hopes took a tumble last
night when . Veatch, the center,
spraineu his ankle in practice. He is
able to attend school today but
whether or not he will .be able to
play tonight is doubtful. If he is
the lineup of the local team will
be about as that played at Mapleton
and Florence, which was as follows:
Forwards, Manerud and Callison;
center, Veatch; guards, Bryson,
Hoffer, Popham and Van Boskirk,
and Ralph Winger, coach.
The line Ul of the RnRfthin-P- team
Will be as follows: Orant Duhm-n
center; Cliff Bemis, R. Baldwin,
guaras; iiowara Urocroft and Cliff
Relbel, forwards. Heinrelch Helden-
reicii is coach.
In the best game of the season in
Eugene the local boys went down to
defeat last evening, the score being
34 to 27 In favor of the university
city boys. The Roseburg boys played
a splendid game, however, and will
probably play a return game with
the Eugene boys In the near future,
DEPUTY SHERIFF RAFFETY
NVESTIGATES GERMAN
Herman Hoffman, an aged Indi
vidual of German descent, who ap
plied to patrolman Grant Wilcox last
night for a bed in the city jail, was
this morning taken before Deputy
Sheriff Raffety for an examination
as to his citizenship. Hoffman, who
is 09 years of age, in broken Eng
lish bespeaking of the fatherland,
told a tale of hardships. The old
man first stated that he has been a
naturalized citizen of the United
States since 1873, having taken out
nis first papers at Chicago. In San
Francisco he lost his entire belong
ings during the earthquake and fire
and has since been employed at dif
ferent times and places as a restau
rant cook, coming here from Al
bany, where he has been working at
his trade for the past three months.
Mr. Hoffman, according to his story,
has met with much difficulty In get
ting employment Blnce the United
States nd. Germany severed (Diplo
matic relations and has been dis
charged time after time when his
nationality was fully established.
He is penniless, unable to find work
and carries no papers or other cre
dentials of identification. When ask
ed by the deputy where his naturali
zation papers were the old man re
plied that he had left them with a
friend in San Francisco. After be
ing questioned further, Mr. Raffety,
not finding sufficient evidence to
hold the man, allowed him to con
tinue on his way, much to his evi
dent satisfaction.

Purchases and household supplies
of flour are limited to one-fourth
barrel; definite limits are placed on
sugar sales by wholesale dealers, and
a full complement of county chair
men to aid iu enforcing food regula
tions are announced in a letter being
mailed today to every retail and
wholesale grocery dealer in Oregn
by W. B. Ayer, federal food adminis
trator. Administrator Ayer says In his let
ter that the more stringent restric
tions are not promulgated because of
existing shortage, but merely to con
serve the supply.
Some hoarding is still being prac
ticed, the food administrator de
clares. He points out, in this con
nection, that the dealer who abets
the householder in the act of hoard
ing is amenable to penalty just as
definitely as is the hoarder.
Heretofore execution of regula
tions made by the food administra
tion have been attempted almost ex
clusively from the state t headquar
ters. An Important departure from
this method is introduced now,
througlr the naming of representa
tives in each county.
Hon. B. L. Eddy, of this city, has
been selected as county manager for
this section and will take up his
duties as such as soon as further de
tails have been received.

TENDERED SURPRISE
Fifty Friends Gathered at the
Barker Home Mock Wed
ding Clever Stunt.
WASSOLEMN OCCASION?
Bridal Party Composed of Local
Luulles Including "Real" Bride
Amusingly Costumed
Miles of Smiles.
One of the most clever and charm
ingly original parties ever given in
Roseburg occurred this afternoon at
the J. F. Barker residence on East
Lime street When fifty of Roseburg's
society maids and matrons tendered
a surprise reception on. Mrs. "Bill",
Broadway, of Portland,, formerly
Velle Barker, whose marriage was'
an event of last week in the northern
city and who is enjoying a visit iu
Roseburg for the next few days,
A mock wedding ceremony was tho
unique feature of the affair audi tho
effect was so tremendously mirth,
provoking that the Barker home was
completely filled with "miles of
smiles" throughout the entire "im
pressive service." Assembling at the
Umpqua -hotel at 2:30 this afternoon
the merry group of friends repaired
to the home where Mrs. "liill'MiroaU
way was given the surprise of her
life. Attired in the most amusing
costumes imaginable and correspouu
ing to the general solemn elfect of
the usual wedding attire, the various
principals of the wedding prepared
with the "regular ' anxious air of
nervousness for the ordeal. Tho
bridal party gathered at the head of
the stairs and was composed of the
"real" bride, Velle Barker Broad
way, the "bogus" groom, who was
represented by Nell Mullen, solemn
ly attired In the conventional "swallow-tail"
costume; the groom's best
man, .artrude Rast, attired in con
ventional costume, two bridesmaids .
dresesd In girlish 'bridesmaidish
gowns, who were Mrs. J. W. Per
kins and Mrs. Charles Wharton; the
bride's father, protrayed by Margar
et Bellows, in a spick and span pat
ernal appearing garb, two flower
girls, Marie Fullerton and' Mrs. J. E.
Sawyers, who were daintily dressed
in short white frocks adorned in the
gayest of ribbons and finery and the
minister, portrayed by Mrs. George
Bolter, in tho costumary "sober" gar
ments. Gathering at the stairs the bridal
party wended its way downward to
the luring1 notes of a familiar wed
ding march which was played by
Miss Mabel Van Buren. The effect
on the "solemn" guests was simply
too amazingly funny for words and
the howls of mirth, which were al
most overwhelmingly apparent were
choked Vfack with very little success.
However, enough silence ensued so
that the ceremony could' be read.
Among the amusing phases in this
serious part of the occasion were the
following: "Dearly beloved sisters
and absent brothers, we are gather
ed here In this awe inspired com
pany to see this bogus man and real
lady put Into the state of matrimony.
This state is not state at all a
man's a man for all that, and these
times when the flower of manhood
flees across the waters, those who
enter Into this union are to be con
gratulated. Therefore this union Is
not to be entered Into giggly, crazily,
solemnly, hysterically or soberly, and
if the real Bill Broadway can show
just cause why this union should not
take place let him speak now or ior
ever hold his peace. Bill, wilt thou
not have this woman to be your law
ful wife?" Answer: "No, I will
no.t." "Velle, wilt thou not have this .
oogus man to be your lawful hus
band?" Answer: "I wilt not." "I,
Bill, do take thee, Velle, not to be
my lawful wedded wife except for
richer, poorer, surprise parties to
honor and obey until the real Bill
Broadway doth us part. I, Velle, do
not take three, Bill, to be my wedded
husband. I'm too short to hold you
and I never could obey you and the
real Bill Broadway will come for
ward and part us forever."
The minister then pronounced
them bogus mail and wife under the
above serious terms and congratu
lations were fairly poured over the
happy couple. ' Every moment was
filled with mirth from the beginning
to the end; the costumes were too
funny for expression and when a de
licious feast was partaken of and
gay soci4. converse enjoyed, the
wests parted for their homes, de
claring that the affair was altogether
the most entertaining and wholly de
lightful ever given in the city.
Earl Brock, of Salem, a recent
graduate of the Willamette univer
sity, has accepted a position as In
structor in the high school at Glide
and Is now engaged In his new
duties. ' .
