UNDERSTANDING IS NOT- SOUGHT
Growing List of Aspirants Considered
As Aid To Taft President
Does Not Fear Stampede
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 Special)
Leaders of the La ' Follette move
ment, after their conference here have
decided to continue their campaign
for the Wisconsin man.not withstand
ing that they view Colonel Roosevelt
seriously as a candidate. It was said
after the conference that no thought
was given to any arrangement by
which Rooaevelt and LaFollette might
profit by each other's strength in the
future. The La Follette movement
from this time forward is to be con
ducted as a thing apart from all other
candidacies.
It was admitted that the Roosevelt
boom has had a decidedly bad effect
on the La Follette chances, and that it
never will be what it might have been
if the name of the Colonel had not be
gun to figure so prominently before
the public. The La Follette manag
ers themselves have no false ideas on
the subject. They may be proclaim
ing, for purposes of their own, that
there is "nothing to" the Roosevelt
movement and that it is composed
chiefly of noise, but privately they be
lieve nothing of the kind. This is part
of the fight, just as it is part of all
fights of the kind and almost always
has been.
Taft leaders in Washington see in
the determination of the La Follette
leaders an improvement of the chan
ces of their own candidate. On the
candidacies of Cummins and La Fol
lette and the movement for Roose
velt they see a hopeless splitting of
the forces of the opposition. Every
thing, they say, conspires to add to
the certainty that the President will
be renominated unless the one thing
happens that the Roosevelt move
ment becomes a stampede that cannot
be controlled, The Taft managers do
not regard this as a probability.

AND FRANK PORT WED
Miss Lena Chamberlain, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Chamberlain,
of Gladstone, who recently returned
to this city from San Diego, Cal.,
where she spent five months, was
married to Frank Port, formerly if
this city, but now of Milwaukee, Wis.,
Friday. The marriage was solem
nized at Mr. Port's parents' home at
Milwaukee, Mr. Port meeting his bride
to be at Chicago. The newlyweds have
gone to New Orleans, where they will
spend their honeymoon. They will
live in San Diego.
The bride is one of Oregon City's
well known young women, and was
prominent in church work, being an
active member of the Baptist church,
and superintendent of the Sunday
school at Canemah until her health
failed, which necessitated her going
to California. She was for some time
connected with the W. A. Holmes
store in this city, and was popular
among the large number of patrons of
that store. It was at the Holmes
store that she met Mr. Port who was
connected with the establishment for
several months. He has an interest
in a clothing house at Milwaukee,
Wis.

the steamer Ruth will be passed upon
by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion because of the transferring of
the tariffs. It is not believed that
there will be any objection raised to
the transfer, but it will take some
time to complete the deal.

SINKS WITH 14 MEN
PORTSMOUTH, England, Feb. 2.
The British submarine "A-3" sank this
morning, after a cbllission with the
British gunboat Hazard off the eastern
end of the Isle of Wight. Fourteen
men sank, imprisoned in the subma
rine, and were drowned.
The Hazard threw out life buoys
and launched boats, in case any of the
men should escape, but none came ,to
the surface.
The "A-3" carried a crew of 11 men,
nine seamen and two officers, and
three other Lieutenants were on
board.
The submarine, which went out of
the harbor this morning to carry out
a series of diving and torpedo exer
cises, sank like a stone immediately
after her collision with the Hazard
and the flooding of the craft.
A big escape of gas which was ob
served on the surface immediately af
ter she sank indicates that the vessel
quickly filled with water. A cruiser
stands by the spot where the disaster
took place.
The submarine lies on the Princess
Shoal, almost on the same spot where
the submarine "A-l" was lost with all
hands, on March 18, 1904.
The Commander-in-Chief of the
Portsmouth division of the British
Navy confirms the flooding of the
"A-3" and the drowning of all the men
oboard.
British submarines belonging to the
"A" class have been singularly un
fortunate. The "A-5" had six men
killed and 12 injured by an explosion
at Queenstown on February 16, 1905.
The "A-8" sank off Plymouth on June
8, 1905, when 14 men out of her crew
of 18 lost their lives. The "A-4" sank
during the maneuvers at Portsmouth
on November 16 of the same year, but
the whole of her crew were rescued
with considerable difficulty. ' The
"A-lll had seven of her crew badly
injured by an explosion on August 6,
1910.
This class of boat is a single screw
submersible of a modified Holland
type, with a length of 100 feet and a
beam of 12 feet eight Inches. Their
displacement is 180 tons. They are
driven by gasoline motors when on
the surface of the water and by elec
tric motors when submerged. They
have a surface speed of 12 knots and
a submerged speed of eight knots.
The motors develop 500 indicated
horsepower on the surface and 150
horsepower when submerged. Their
armament consists of two torpedo
tubes. '

INDISCREET LEADERS CRITICIZED
Good And Wise" Mother Should Have
Right to Vote, Says Ex
President in
Outlook.
NEW YORK. Feb." 2. Theodore
Roosevelt, in the current issue of the
Outlook, today placed himself squarely
before the public as generally favoring
woman suffrage. Roosevelt, however,
places the ballet as secondary to the
home. He says:
"The exercise of suffrage can never
be the most important of women's
right or duties. Women's vital need
is a war against vice, frivolity, cold
selfishness and timid Shrinking from
unnecessary risk and effort. Vice, the
folly of men and women, leading to the
divorce court or taking shape in the
curse of voluntary sterility, are fun
damental evils of prime importance.
"I am glad that a good, wise and
brave mother should have the ballot.
I believe in the movement for woman
suffrage, and I believe it will ultimate
ly succeed and justify itself. But I
regard it as, being of far less conse
quence than many other movements
for betterment of conditions which af
fect both men and women.
"Perhaps one reason so many men,
believing as emphatically as I do in
women'3 full equality, take little in
terest in the suffrage movement, will
be found in the unfortunate actions of
certain leaders of the movement. They
seem des'rous of associating it with
disorderly conduct in public, and thor
oughly degrading it by vicious assaults
on the morality and the duty of wom
en within and without marriage.
"In western states where suffrage
has been given to women, I am unable
to see that any great difference has
been caused, as compared with neigh
boring states, yet what slight changes
there have been are for the better.
"I do not see much difference be
tween Denver and the big cities of the
east; yet it is the women of Denver
who stand behind Judge Lindsey.
"When I passed through Seattle last
spring the city had just finished going
through a badly needed houseclean
ing, and the votes of the women have
been a potent factor in securing de
cent government.
"The same thing is notably true as
a result of the recent Los Angeles
election."

LECTURES TONIGHT
Harold Morton Kramer, famous
throughout the United States as an
author and lecturer, will lecture to
night, under the auspices of the Ly
ceum Bureau at Woodmen Hall. Al
though a young man, Mr. Kramer has
been on the lecture platform several
years, and has a reputation second
to no platformist now under engage
ment. Before entering the lecture
field he was a newspaper man, and
became famoua in this state through
smashing political machines and cor
recting civic abuses. He served in
the Spanish-American war as the head
of the first company of soldiers organ
ized in his state. One critic has said
of him, "He has become a master, in
the use of his native tongue."
School Days Bring Many Problems
You owe it to your children to see that they are well dressed and
comfortable. How can it be done on the least money ? Stockings have
been the greatest trouble. You know the kihd that look well until the
first recess. If your boy is the right kind of boy, he plays so fast he
forgets all about his stockings. To grow he must play that way. Give
hull the kind of stockings that take care of themselves

ACKERMANN GIVES
PUPILS GOOD ADVICE
J. H. Ackerman, President of the
State Normal School, at Monmouth,
addressed the pupils of the Oregon
City High School, Friday morning.
Several citizens also were present.
Mr. Ackerman spoke on "Success in
Life." He said that to be successful
one must be attentive, industrious and
interested in his chosen work. Hon
esty, said Mr. Ackerman, also was a
requisite. He explained how several
great men had achieved success, and

PHILHARMONIC BAND IS PRAISED
Success of Enterprise Insures Exhi
bition Annually Prominent
Men From Portland
Attend
One of the finest poultry shows ever
held in Oregon began Friday
morning at the armory, and will con
tinue until 11 o'clock tonight. Poul
try fanciers from five counties were
present and there were exhibits from
almost all parts of the state. The suc
cess of the exhibition, which was ar
ranged by the Publicity Department
of the Commercial Club, insures the
giving of a similar, show annually.
More than 600 persons paid admis
sions to see the chickens and at
least twice that many are expected
to attend today.
Among the prominent men in at
tendance were Marquam Bros., of
Marquam, who had entries in almost
all the classes; J. P. Hall, Newberg,
president Yamhill County Poultry As
soociation; B. Lee Paget, Portland
banker; C. C. Chapman, secretary
Portland Commercial Club; Harvey
Beckwith, former president of the
Portland P.nmmerrlnl Plnb Aririrocc-
es were made in the evening by
Messrs. Hall, Chapman and M. J. La
zelle, Secretary of the Promotion De
partment of the Commercial Club,
who suggested that a poultry show be
given in this city, and made all ar
rangements for the exhibition..
Mr. Hall declared that there was
more enthusiasm, more life and a bet
ter attendance at the show than at a
majority of the others given in the
state. Mr. Paget was enthusiastic
over the success of the enterprise, and
declared exhibitions should be held
annually. Mr. Chapman lauded the
possibilities of Clackamas County, and
condemned the one idea farmer
He declared the farmers here should
raise chickens, berries, fruits, etc.,
and by all means should rotate their
crops. He advised against depending
upon horticulture alone. Mr. Beck
with talked in a similar vein.
" A trip through Clackamas Coun
ty" illustrated with stereoptican views
was the subject of an interesting lec
ture by Mr. Lazelle. He graphically
described the possibilities for dairy
ing in the county, showing pictures of
dairies he visited, on the trip. Mr. La
zelle also showed pictures of various
farms and orchards. The lecture will
be repeated tonight.
Music was furnished by the Phil
harmonic band under the leadership
of R. V. D. Johnston. The residents
of the city, who heard the band for
the first time, were amazed at its
work, and Mr. Johnston and the play
ers were congratulated heartily. A
concert was given in the street be
fore the program was rendered at the
poultry show. Another program will
be given at the show this evening.
"Dollar," the trained rooster, per-
i formed under the direction of Miss
ly has his tricks learned to a nicety,
and kept the large audience convul
sed with laughter while he was on the
boards.
Another feature of the evening was
the cornet solo by Dr. Clyde Mount.
"Dr. Mount is the soloist of the Phil
harmonic band, and those who heard
him were reminded of Liberatti in his
palmiest days. Dr. Mount will play
again this evening. Miss Rose Justin,
cashier and ticket seller, was hard put
to attend the large crowd that crowd
ed about her office last night. She de
clared she would demand a rest to
day. . There will be more poultry judg-
