ALL ELEMENTS IN
CUBA ARE UNITED
CRISIS AVOIDED BY REMOVAL OF
REASONS FOR U. S.
ACTING.
TEXT OF AGREEMENT KEPT SECRET
Gomez' Hand Greatly Strengthened
By Belief That Agitation
of Veterans Has
Reached End.
HAVANA, Jan. 17 The conference
at the President's palace adjourned at
1:05 o'clock this morning. It was an
nounced that all the elements had
reached an understanding to unite in
the policy that would remove any
excuse for intervention.
The details of the agreement have
not been divulged.
President Gomez conferred with
prominent political leaders regarding
the action to be taken in connection
with the notification from the Ameri
can Secretary of State, that the Unit
ed States government might be com
pelled to intervene in Cuban affairs.
The persons summoned to meet the
President were General Emilio Nunez,
General Mateulo Alonzo, Colonel Man
uel Aranda and Colonel Galvoz, rep
resenting the veterans; General Euz
bio Hernandez, president of the Mi
guelistas; Governor Asbert, of Ha
vana; Alfredo Zayas, vice-president of
the republic, and Gonzales Lanuza,
General Freyre Andrade and Antonio
Gonzales Lanuza, the Conservative
leaders; Miguel Coyula, "Wilfredo Fer
nandez, editor of El Commercio; Col
onel Crestes Ferrar, President of the
House of Representatives, and Dr.
Antonio Gonzale Perez, President of
the Senate.
The shock of the receipt yesterday
of the news of tht possible interven
tion by the United States was suc
ceeded by a feeling of relief, conse
quent upon the general impression
that the Knox note was intended
merely as a caution similar to Presi
dent Roosevelt's letter to Quesada,
and not as a threat to proceed to ex
tremes without further provocation.
Gomez' hand has been strengthen
ed by the quietus put on the agitation
of the veterans.
WATTERSON'S FAITH
LOUISVILLE, Ky.f Jan. 17. That
he had hoped to find in Woodrow Wil
son another Tilden, but had found
"rather a schoolmaster than a states
man," was the declaration of Henry
Watterson, the veteran Kentucky edi
tor and Southern Democrat, in a
statement made here tonight in con
nection with the break between Gov
ernor Wilson and Colonel George Har
vey. . "I was hoping I might find in Gov
ernor Wilson another Tilden," said
Colonel Watterson. "In point of in
tellect and availability, I yet think
Colonel Harvey made no mistake in
his choice of a candidate, but the cir
cumstances leading to the unfortun
ate parting of the ways between them
leads me to doubt whether in charac
ter and in temperament it may be
merely in the habits of a lifetime
Governor Wilson is not rather a
schoolmaster than a statesman."
Dairyman Father of Twenty-Three.
ST. CHARLES, Mo., Jan. 17. The
birth of his twenty-third child, a 13
pound girl, is being celebrated today
by Fred Walkenhorst, a dairyman of

dren, thirteen of whom are at home.

SAMSON HOLDS I9ll
Justice of the Peace Samson an
nounced Wednesday that he officiat
ed at the marriages of eighty-one
couples in 1911. The largest number
married by him in one month was
thirteen and the smallest two.
"I don't care what other justices
of the peace ministers and judges may
say, I am confident that, I hold the
record for performing marriage cere
monies in 1911," declared Mr. Sam
son. "I see where a man, who only
married forty couples is claiming the
record for the year but he is not in
a class with me."
Mr. Samson announced that 128
ceremonies had been performed in the
historic house in which he lives. The
house is on Main street, and was oc
cupied before the Civil War by Gen
eral Grant, General Sheridan, and oth
er army officers who distinguished
themselves in the war between the
states. Many marriages were solem
nizd in the house before Mr. Samson
moved into it, but he has kept a rec
ord of them, and says he is confident
no other house in Oregon has had as
many marriage ceremonies performed
in it.
REV. FORD ENTERTAINS
OF
The Rev. T. B. Ford pastor of the
Methodist church, and family, enter
tained about 150 members of the con
gregation at their home Tuesday eve
ning. It was one of the most elabor
ate entertainments ever given by a
pastor in this city, and all who ac
cepted his hospitality had a delight
ful time. The guests were met at the
door by Dr. Ford. Many of those in
attendance came to Oregon City re-'
cently, and the host and the members
of his family were particularly atten
tive to them ,and in seeing that they
became acquainted with the other
guests. The generous hospitality of
the host was generally commented on,
and it was agreed by all that Dr.
Ford and his estimable family had
few equals in that line. After a short
program consisting of music and reci
tations, refreshments were served.

TINE LESSONS
Interest in the special revival cam
paign being conducted at the Baptist
church by Rev. J. Bruce Evans, is
becoming intense. The house was
packed Wednesday jiight with people
of all classes. The sermon by Mr.
Evans was preceded by a duet rend
ered by the Misses Armstrong and a
solo by Miss Juliet Cross. Mr. Evans'
sermon was based on the text, "Sirs,
What Must I Do To Be Saved?" He
said in part:
"It made no difference what was
around him, Paul had something in
him that was greater than the external
environment.
"It was because of what was in
them that Paul and Silas were able
to sing when in jail.
"Paul and Silas did not have much
plitical influence or social influence
not enough to keep them out of jail,
but they had power enough to pray
down the prison walls and go forth
free men.
"The jailer came trembling and con
fessed his need of a Saviour. Real
genuine conviction of sin is the cry
ing heed of today.
"When this jailer was converted he
proved it by washing the stripes of
the men whom he had scurged. Re
ligion that is divine brings forth
fruits worthy of repentence."
The afternoon meetings which Mr.
Evans conducts are being well at
tended. Meetings will be held every
afternoon this week except Saturday.

men wore scarlet neckties and ros
ettes, and the women scarlet ribbons.

late presiding. -
The Rosedale then steamed to the
Battery, where the procession was
formed, the body of men and women
marching to St. Patrick's cathedral.
where Cardinal Farley addressed ' a
large assemblage.
Cardinal Farley was drawn in- an
open carriage to the cathedral, es
corted by a troop of mounted police
and 150 automobiles, bearing members
of the reception committee. Twelve
hundred police lined the route. As
the cardinal was passing many per
sons dropped to their knees in the
snow and received his blessing. At
the cathedral he was received by
eighteen papal Knights of St. Gregory,
each wearing jeweled crosses to sig
nify their rank. Seven hundred
priests participated in the service at
the cathedral.
Cardinal Farley brought the follow
ing message to Americans from Pope
Pius:
"I admire your hospitable land.
where the people of all nations are
welcomed and where liberty to all is
assured. I pray continually for your
land, realizing the great future it of
fers to each man knowing how to use
hi3 own liberty with regard to the
liberty of his neighbors.
America, I realize, knows what lib
erty is. I am fully alive concerning
not only the future of the church, but
of the land as well, and my earnest
prhyer is that its greatness shall con
tinue.
Cardinal Farley declared that the
Pope's physical condition was mar
velous, his eye being as clear and
bright as the morning. He also said
that his own health was of the best
and that he was glad to be back home.

Preliminary plana for cleaning the
city and keeping it in a healthy con
dition were made at the first meeting
of the health and police committee
of the city council, held in the coun
cil chamber Wednesday evening. The
committee is composed of Council
men Tooze, Albright and Pope.
H. W. Streibig, the meat dealer,
reported that a slaughter house was
being conducted on the Abernethy in
the city limits He said that he and
the other men engaged in the meat
business were warned several years
ago that they would not be allowed to
do any more slaughtering in the city,
and, as a result had moved their
slaughter houses to the country. Mr.
Streibig declared that to allow the.
slaughter house complained of to con
tinue m .-operation would be discrim
ination. Chief of Police Shaw explained that
he and Health Officer Norri3 had ex
amined the plant and found it to be
clean. He said that under the pres
ent citV law it would have in ho
ed a nuisance before he could order
it closed. Councilman Tooze was
authorized to have an ordinance
drawn to be nresented at tha
meeting of the council, prohibiting the
siauguiering oi animals witnin the
city -limits.

Bent on securing lower fares be
tween Oregon City and Portland, and
determined to bring to end what has
bee termed discrimination toward
this city as a result of the reCent de
cision of the State Rajlroad "Commis
sion, the committee of the Live Wires
of th Commercial Club held a two
hours' session Wednesday night in
the club parlors, and concluded to ask
for a conference with the officials of
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company, and this conference will
probably be held at Portland within
the next ten days. The committee
seeks to ascertain the attitude of the
corporation toward Oregon City in -relation
to the fares between this
city and the metropolis.
The meeting of the committee
brought out, among other things, the
fact that one may ride from Oregon
City to St. Johns for twenty cents,
yet the fare to Golf Links, about half
the distance to St. Johns, is also
twenty cents; that in a number of
instances the fare is lower between
intermediate points- and Portland than
between points having a comparative
distance to Oregon City; that the old
rate from Oregon City to Golf Links
was fifteen cents, when ticket books
were purchased, and that under the
present schedule the fare is twenty
cents and ticket books are not ob
tainable, and that the former commu
tation rate between Oregon City and
Portland, on monthly botiks, was fif
teen cents, and the lowest rate given
under the present schedule is eighteen
cents, and this rate carries no trans
fer privilege with it.
It was possible, under the old
schedule of rates, to ride from Ore

Portland for nineteen and one-half
