ALL BLAME IS PLACED ON BECKER
Saturday will bo a busy day for the
members of the Oregon City Rose so
ciety. Their part lii the Rose Festi
val, Ilooster Day and Stock Snow pro
gram Is Important and features directly
under their control constitute some of
the day's biggest drawing cards.
Hesidcs having complete control of
all the parts of the day's entertain
ment taknn from what was In previous
years the Rose Show, the Rose society
Is equally represented In all general
committees with the Commercial club.
The general planning of the day And
the arranging of the attractions of the
ceienration were as mucn in tne nanas
of the momliers of the Rose society as
of the Commercial club.
The Rose Show proper will last dur
ing (he afternoon and evening, but for
the ladles of the Rose society It will
an all day affair. At 8 o'clock In the
morning the members of the society
will gather In the hull on the third
floor of the Masonic building, where
the display will be made, to prepare for
the exhibit. Shortly afterwards the en
tries will begin coming In. At 11
o'clock the time for making entries
will stop and half and hour later the
three Judges, Alfred Tucker, E. B. Mc
Farlin and J. Ladd, Jr., will begin their
work.
About 130 entries were made last
year, but there Is cs rsy to tell bow
many will be made Saturday. The
members of the society expect a great
er number than ever before. No one
will be allowed In the hall during the
Judging.
In the big afternoon parade the Rose
society will play an Important part.
The children's parade Is directly under
the supervision of the society. One
of the features of the children's sec
tion will be the decorated go-carts and
doll carriages. Prizes have been of
fered those entered In this parade. The
Rose society will also play an Import
ant part in other parts of this parade,
such as the automobile section.
The rose queen will reign supreme In
the big afternoon parde. She will ride
with her attendants in a decorated car
riage. During the afternoon and evening an
orchestra will play at the Rose Show
and In the evening a drill will be giv
en by 20 girls. Mrs. John F. Rlsley
will sing a solo.
The general commmlttees report that
all is progressing well for the celebra
tion. All merchants along Main street
are requested to place boxes on the
edge of the sidewalk about 6 feet apart
The commltttee will furnish boards so
that the first line of persons seeing the
parade will have a seat.
ONE ff STlll
RESPONDS-TO CALL
Reliable evidence Is abundant that women
are constantly being restored to health by
Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we are continually pub
lishing in the newspapers hundreds of them are all genu
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydla E. PInkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest and true if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn for yourself.
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Camdev, N.J. "1 wm Blnk for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys were afTec-tol. I had a doctor all the time and uaed a
galvanic battery, hut nothing did me any good. I was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a conch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my hatband heard I Lydia E. Ilnkham'g Vegetable
CoiniKiunrl and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
your medicine to every one and so does my husband." Airs. Tillu
Wateiu, 1135 Knight St., Camden, N J.
And this one from Mrs. Haddock:
Utica, OKf.A. "I was weak and nervous, not able to do my work
and scarcely able to be on my feet I had backache, headache, palpi
tation of the heiirt, trouble with my bowels, and inflammation, bince
taking the Lydia E. linkham's Vegetable Compound I am better
than I have been for twenty years. I think it is a wonderful medi
cine and I have recommended it to others." ilrs. ALibt A.x Had
dock, Utica, Oklahoma.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many others why should it fail in your case?
For 30 years Lydia E. PInkham's Testable
Compound has been the standard remedy for fe
male ills. No one sick with woman's ailments
does j ustice to herself if she does not try th I a fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many suffering women to health.

NEW YORK, May 15. Miss Lillian
Rosenberg, the young widow of "Lefty
Louis," one of the four punnien elec
trocuted for the part they played In
the murder of Herman Rosenthal, was
a witness today tor the state at the
trial of Charles Becker, charged with
being the "brains of the plot her bus
band helped to carry out.
In swearing she beard Jack Rose
urite her huslmnd and his three com
panions to kill Rosenthal because
Becker wanted them to and that she
saw the quartet dividing the money
they received In payment for the
crime, the widow of the gunman con
tradicted testimony she gave at his
trial and furnished what District At
torney Whitman declared to be "proof
beyond all doubt that the witness for
the state have told the truth."
On cross-examination Mrs. Rosen
berg was asked why she had not tes
tified at the trial of the gunmen as
she did today. With tears in her eyes
the girl answered:
"I lied then because I wanted to
save the man I loved from the elec
tric chair."

counts the confession alleged to have
been made by "Dago Frank" Ciroflcl,
just before the gunmen were electrocuted.

MONMOfTH, Ore.. May 20 Over
100 delegates of the granges of Oregon
and nearly 1100 grange members were
assembled for the 41st annual session
In this city yesterday. Incoming
trains were taxed Monday and yester
day In carrying delegates and others,
and transportation rates were reduced
for the convention. The day was giv
en to general arrangement for work,
presenting of credentials and outlines
for committee work. At 5 o'clock In
the afternoon a banquet was served
the visitors hy the citizens of Mon
mouth and OMison Normal school fac
ulty, on the school campus. Mayor P.
H. Johnson welcomed the grangers to
the city, followed by .other sddresses,
and numerous responses. Besides the
visitors, hundreds of citizens of Mon
mouth and farmers !n Polk county at
tended. Last nlgbt the Monmouth
training school orchestra entertained
a large audicence In the normal school
auditorium for the benefit of the grang
ers. Bnainess men furnished automo
biles for the necessary conveyance of
the delegates to the various homes In
the city and the normal and high
school students assisted In the general
welcome.
SECRETARY H. E. CROSS HAS
TROUBLE IN ARRANGING
CHAUTAUQUA GAMES
In the opinion of Secretary H. E.
Cross of the chautauqua, there is a
dearth in the bush-league market this
year.
This conclusion was reached Satur
day when, In arranging the ball sched
ule in the 1914 chautauqua program,
soon to be published, it was discovered
that only one lone ball team had hurled
its hat In the ring for the 1914 chau
tauqua pennant.
Mr. Cross, who by the way is him
self a 33rd degree fan, was winded by
the discovery. "It's the first time in
fifteen years that we haven't been be
sieged by at least a half dozen teams
at this date, with chautauqua only two
months away. Why last year at this
time there were seven Clackamas coun
ty ball nines asking entrance Into the
chautauqua league. I hate to believe
that this Is the work of the Federal
league!" Howeve, unless the appli
cations of three or four more first
class amateur nines are received at
once. Secretary Cross intimated that
he would take It for granted that the
far-reaching tentacles of the "Feds"
have been scooping up the Clackamas
county bushers. unless of course, a
more satisfactory explanation can he
given.

GLADSTONE, Ore, May .-Glad
stone la now basking In the sunshine
of a most phenomenal growth. Over
twenty new homes have been con
structed since the first of the year,
or are now being built or planned by
the owners. The building boom which
began early In the spring of 1913 and
continued all through that year has
run well into 1914 with increased ac
tivity, and at present there is little
sign of any Black in the building era.
During 1913 forty-three new homes
were constructed, but if the present
activities continue, 1914 will see a rec
ord In home construction In the thriv
ing little city on the Clackamas, which
very few cities of much larger size,
could duplicate. With but months
of the new year gone by, approximate
ly half of the total number erected
last year has been reached and con
servative estimates place the 1914
record to be way up over the fifty
mark. Houses to rent are almost an
unknown quantity and so great has
been the demand to purchase homes
that several have been gobbled up be
fore they were ever finished by the
builders. Among these were the Cat-
to ft Nelson bungalow on Dartmouth
street to Engineer Rayburn of the Wil
lamette Co., the Frank Nelson home on
Harvard avenue to Mrs. Ross, mother
of Mr. Arch Ross of Gladstone, and the
Emll Nelson bungalow on Dartmouth
to a Mr. Clark.
Among the homes which are now
being constructed or which will be
started in the Immediate future, and
the approximate costs are:
A Conover $1,000
Straight ft Salisbury 1,500
Jno. W. Ixder 700
Guy LaSalle 2,500
Leo Burdon 2.000
Emll Nelson 1,600
Ralph Parker 1.000
Wm. Janln 1.500
Wm. Lewthwaite 1.500
L. L. Lydell 1,000
Wm. Money 1.800
Frank Nelson 2,000
L. D. Mumnower 1,500
H. B. Miller 1.500
Jesse Dunmire 1,000
T. It. B. Williams, (lmprov.)... 1,000
Ed Kent 1,000
Henry Salisbury. k..i...... 1.500
Mrs. Eva Hardy 1,250
As can readily be seen practically all
of these are, or will be, when con
structed, good substantial homes. For
over a year at Gladstone the demand
for homes has greatly exceeded tbe
supply. On Dartmouth street about
half way out to Chautauqua park three
pretty bungaloms are being construct
ed in the same block, those of Leo Bur
don. William Janin and Emil Nelson.
Gladstonlans naturally are much cn
thuastlc over the growth of their city
and predict that 1914 will be the
greatest year since their thriving lit
tle burg was first put on the map.
MEMBERS M 'CONVERT' LANDLORDS
Body Has About 30 Members at Close
of First Week of Its Existance
Membership Increase
Probable
The first regular meeting of the
newly organized Oregon City Board of
Trade was held Mocday night in the
parlors of the Commercial club and
the evening was spent discussing one
subject the Improvement of Main
street The members of the club have
taken a determined stand for the Im
provement of the Btreet and an active
hut quiet campaign is being mapped
out to accomplish that purpose.
"We are doing missionary work
among our landlords," said oue ot the
officers of the organization Monday
evening at the close of the meeting.
"Each member is a committee of cne
to interview the person who owns the
building which he rents, and to con
vince the property owner that a per
manent improvement is the only solu
tion to the Main street problem. Some
remarkable conversions have resulted
in several cases when the member of
the board explained' the relationship
between the tennant and the landlord."
The membership committee reported
that the club had about 30 members
and that the prospects were that this
number would be increased. Tbe club
completed the first week of Its exist
ance Monday evening. -
Members of the new organization
are reluctant to discuss the objects of
the Board of Trade, but stoutly main
tain that the purpose of the body is to
do and not to talk, or least not to ta:k
until after the object is accomplished.
In working for the improvement of
Main street, their campaign includes
no publicity work, but merely personal
solicitation.
RIVER IIP AT MOUTH
BUT THE SAME HERE
Although the Willamette river at
Portland is rapidly rising and a num
ber of the docks of that city are al
ready under water, Oregon City is now
In danger, according to one of the local
mill managers who keeps in closo
touch with the rises and falls of the
river."
The high water at Portland Is caused
by back water from the Columbia and
not from the amount of water going
down the Willamette. Owing to the
fall In the river between Oregon City
and Portland there is no danger of tbe
water in Portland reaching such a
height that Oregon City would be effected.
