As an incentive for several of the
candidates who fear they will not be
able to overcome the leads of Miss
Ruby McCord and Joseph Sheahan in
the great Automobile Contest, the
Mornin? Enterprise decided Saturday
to provide a second prize of $100 in
gold. Intimation that an announce
ment of interest to the candidates was
forthcoming has been made by this
paper for several days and it is be
lieved the offer will not only result
in the candidates working even hard
er than they have been doing, but will
spur their friends on to renewed ef
fort. It may be the means of candi
dates, who now think they have no
chance for the first honor, proving
their real ubilities and thus giving
them confidence sufficient to become
factors in the race for the $785 auto
mobile. As a result of the decision to offer
a second prize the management iiaa
decided to discontinue giving fifteen
day merchandise certificates. Miss
Miss McCord won the contest .which
closed Saturday, which entitles her
to a $15 certificate on the Price Bros,
store. The contestants agreed with
the managers of tie contest that a
second prize would be more attractive
than the fifteen day prizes henceforth.
D0N7 WORRY; EARTH
IS 'HOT IN DANGER
PASADENA, Cal., April 13. Dis
quieting reports from Eastern scien
tific centers to the effectthat the earth
was plunging at a terrific rate toward
the cluster of Hercules, whose .12
suns would burn it to a cinder, failed
to create consternation among the
scientists in the Mount Wilson obser
vatory. Residents of Pasedna were given
the reassuring information by Pro
fessor W. S. Adam3 that, while it
was true that the earth was racing
toward the fiery suns at the rate, of
600 miles a minute, it would require
several - million years, to reach the
cluster and even the course of the
earth might be changed before the collision.

OREGON CITY,
SPLIT DELEGATION
PHILADELPHIA, April 13 At mid
night reports indicate that Theodore
Roosevelt has carried about half of
the Congressional districts in Penn
sylvania. In addition there is a prob
ability that Roosevelt men will con
trol the state convention, which will
name 12 delegates-at-large.
Woodrow Wilson apparently had lit
tle opposition and he will have almost
a solid delegation from this state to
the . Democratic National convention.
IS
HOPE OF LAFOLLETTE
PENDLETON, Or., April 15. "I will
not be wearing a crepe on my hat if
Roosevelt wins out in Pennsylvania,"
declared Senator Robert M. La Fol
lette this morning, talking to a pri
vate audience of friends and news
papermen. "Every delgate who goes
to the national convention instructed
for Roosevelt increases the probabi
lity of a deadlock between him and
Taft and such a deadlock can only
mean one thing, the election of your
humble servant.
"I have 36 delegates now and every
one of them has iron in his system.
They are not the compromising kind
and every one will fight to the last
ditch for me. It neither Taft nor Roose
velt can win on the first few ballots,
their delegates will commence to
switch and with pieces of each other's
skin and hair beneath their finger nails
it is not likely they will get together
either on the president or ex-president."
Speaking of the results in Illinois
Senator La Follette declared he was
not a bit discouraged. "I was advised
not to enter in the primaries," he said
"unless I could make a personal cam
paign but I knew there were many
who wanted to vote for me and I had
my name put on the ballot. I got
something like 40,000 votes and every
one was from a true progressive heart.
''Illinois is not a progressive state
and Roosevelt's victory was not a pro
gressive victory. He won because
certain interests would rather have
him in the presidential chair than the
other man." -
La Follette arrived here on the ear
ly train this morning from the east
and retired immediately to his room,
where he slept until 11:30. He is ac
companied by his wife who made a
ten minute talk for woman suffrage on
the streets.

MEXICAN REVOLUTIONISTS WILL

INTERVENTION OUT OF QUESTION
Execution Of American Citizen Is Call

War Disre
garded WASHINGTON, April 1. Mexican
rebels are rapidly rousing the ire of
this government, and, while no steps
of retaliation have been discussed ,it
is almost certain the revolutionists
will never obtain sympathy or recogni
tion. Interfernce of the rebels with offi
cial mail of American Consuls and the
summary execution of Thomas Foun
tain, an American gunnar, in defiance
of protest from this country, have
caused a feeling of agravation.
Though the United States is virtu
ally powerless at present to compel
more courtesy from the rebels, it is
felt that a heavy reckoning is await
ing some of the insurrecto leaders.
It is the offical yiew in Washington
that if the rebels, made desperate by
their failure to obtain supplies neces
sary . to a successful campaign, are
trying to force intervention in Mexi
co, their deliberate intentions are
doomed to failure.
As notice has been served on Amer
icans to keep out of. harm's way in
Mexico, it is argued that the Adminis
tration cannot be held accountable for
evil results following a disregard of
President Taft's warning.
- Military leaders in Mexico, federal
or rebel, who, in violation of interna
tional rules of war, deliberately bring
about the execution of a prisoner of
war, are considered guilty of murder
under the international law.
If a rebel leader, having caused the
death of an American, comes within
the jurisdiction of the United States
he Is certain to be arrested and turned
over to the Mexican government with
ehe expectation that he would" be tried
on the charge of murder.

Pierce, Lane And Coshow Deliver In
teresting Addresses At Big
Banquet Hedges Pleases
Crowd
Hailing Thomas Jefferson as the
greatest constructive American states
man, leading Democrats of Oregon
Saturday night at a banquet given by
the County Democratic Central Com
mittee at Woodmen Hall, pleaded with
their audience of more than 200 that
the principles for which the founder
of the party stood be their inspiration
and guide in the campaign now in pro
gress. It was not only a Democraticpar
ty dinner, but aDemocratic dinner, for
at least one third of the banqueters
were Republicans and adherents of
other political parties. The banquet
was held in honor of the birthday of
the founder of the party, and the prin
cipal speakers were Walter A. Pierce
Dr. Harry Lane and O. P. Coshow,
candidates for the Democratic nomina
tion for United States Senator.
Gilbert L. Hedges, who is the Dem
ocratic candidate for District attorn
ey, in this district, was toastmaster.
Each speaker was fittingly introduced
and Mr. Hedges convulsed the crowd
with several "telegrams'' whicn -it is
believed were originated by himself.
While the arguments were pretty
much the same as have from time
immemorial been used by members of
the party, and have time and again
trailed its banner in the dust, the ora
tors were just as sure they were right
as was William Jennings Bryan in
1896 when he tried to foist upon the
Amercan people the free silver theory,
acclaiming it the only sure cure for
all the ills that politics ia heir to, they
were presented in an interesting way
and brought forth rounds of applause.
Mr. Pierce, who was in particularly
good voice, made a forceful address.
He declared that the Dmocratic party
had nothing to be ashamed of, and that
the really important achievements of
the Roosevelt and Taft administrations
had been suggested by Mr. Bryan and
other Democrats.
The speaker justified the fight that
was made for bimetalism on the
ground that the increased supply of
gold had proved that the quantitive
theory of money was correct. He de
clared that Mr. Roosevelt was now ad
vocating measures that would have
'put the Democratic party to shame
in 1896 so radical would they then
have appeared.
"We would have been called anarch
ists if we had advocated them then,"
said Mr. Pierce. "The Democratic
party, has, in fact, become the conser
vative party. It is proved when the
troops have to be called out to sup
press a riot in a Republican conven
tion in the great state of Michigan.
The combinations of wealth have
grown under Republcan rule. From
time immemorial the law of supply
and demand ruled, and never until
our lifetime have men been able to
take business by the throat through
combinations of capital and throttle
it. I tell you it is a revolution and
not an evolution. The trusts dictate
the prices they pay and the prices
the people pay them. There are not
many markets where competition
rules. The steel trust, for instance,
controls 60 per cent of all the raw iron
and sells stell at 0 or 50 per cent high
er here than it does in foreign markets.-
That trust has paid 18 per cent
interest annually for nine years on
a billion and half of stock, half of
which is watered stock.'
Mr. Pierce in speaking of the absorb
tion of the Tennessee Coal. & Iron
Company by the United State3 Steel
Company became facetious. He de
clared that the trust asked President
Roosevelt if it could absorb the big
southern company, and that the Pres
ident replied, "De-lighted."
The speaker said the crime of the
age was the control of the markets by
the trusts which killed competition
and sounded the death knell of sup
ply and demand. He said its contin
uance would result in the wrecking
of the nation. Mr. Pierce recommend
ed jail sentences for the rich offend
ers declaring that would be more ef
ficacious than large fines. He also
paid his respects to the express comp
anies, and declared that they and the
telegraph lines should be under the
management of the postal department.
Mr. Pierce made a fine impression,
and was enthusiastically applauded
throughout his address. He was giv
en a round of applause when he pledg
ed his" fealty to the nominee of the
party no matter which one of the can-
aiaaies won me nomination. ,
Toastmaster Hedges read telegrams
of regret at not being able to attend
the banquet from William Jennings
Bryan and Woodrow Dilson.
Dr. Lane and Mr. Coshow spoke
pretty much along the same lines as
Mr.. Pierce. They urged the regula
tion of the trusts and tariff revision
downward. Dr. Lane declared the tar
iff had been made use of in a way to
justify it being called thievery.- Like
Mr. Pierce they declared that they
would not only support the nominee,
but would work for his election..
Others who made speeches were
Bert Haney .chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee; F. V.
Holman, candidate for Democratic
elector;' John H. Stevens, Samuel
White, James T. Barbee, manager for
Speaker Clark - In Oregon; Countz

SCORES IMPERILED
BY BRIDGE RUNAWAY
A score of persons were endangered
Saturday afternoon by a thrilling run
away on the historic suspension bridge.
While E. L. Wilkinson was driving up
on the approach on the west side, his
horse frghtened at an automobile, and
before the driver could tighten the
reins the horse was in a mad gallop.
Wilkinson, unable to control the an
imal shouted a warning and pedestrians
scattered in all directions. The vehicle
grazed two. buggies throwing them
aside, but not injuring their occupants
Just before Main street' in this city
was reached Wilkinson was thrown
out, receiving severe bruises. The
horse threaded its way through the
vehicles down Main street, imperiling
more persons, until John Edwards, a
bootblack, seized the reins, and, al
though dragged for more than a block,
kept his hold until the horse stopped.
The wagon meanwhile had turned over
and was wrecked.

CANBY HOTEL FIRE
SEVERAL PERSONS HAVE NAR
ROW ESCAPES AS BUILDING
IS DESTROYED
LITTLE GIRL. FLEEING, FALLS
Brave Woman Climbs Down Post And"
Saves Man Business Section
Of City Is Threat
ened A disastrous fire occurred at Canby
Saturday morning about 4 o'colck, the
City Hotel,- with its contents being
destroyed. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Mos
ley, who lived in the hotel were awak
ened about 3:30 o'clock by fire, which
started in the kitchen on the east side
of the building, and they gave the
alarm. The - boarders were aroused
and hurried to the street. Many of
them were half clad not being able
to save their clothing, as the struc
ture was soon a mass of flames.
Erastus- Rosencrants, of Liberal, who
had been spending several days in
Canby and making his headquarters
at the hotel, was burned to death.
He was ninety-one years of age, and
owing to his feeble condition waa un
able to escape, although he was awak
ened and had thrown part of his
clothing out of a window of the sec
ond story, and had probably Intend
ed jumping but was overcome by the
smoke.
Mr. Rosencrantz had been a resi
dent of Liberal for some time. He is
survived by a widow, and eight child
ren, one daughter living at Liberal.
He was born in Syracuse, New York.
Opposite Mr. Rosencrants' room John
Strickland occupied an apartment and
escaped by jumping from the second
story window. The little 12-year-old
daughter of Mrs. A. Bradburn, prop
rietress of the hotel, had a narrow es
cape from death. She was making
her escape from the building when
she fell down stairs, and those follow
ing her not knowing she had fallen
in their excitement trampled her, and
she is suffering from severe bruises.
She also inhaled, smoke. Her condi
tion is not serious.
A woman, who was among the cool
heded persons in the building at the
time the fire started, saved a man's
life. She was in the second story, and
escaped by climbing down one of the
posts of the front porch, and hastened
into the burning building and aroused
the man, who had a room on the first
floor. He had a narrow escape, as
his room adjoined the room where the
fire originated.
Most of the rooms of the city hotel
were occupied Friday night, there be
ing a theatrical company in the city. .
The Cottage Hotel, which is in the
same block had a narrow escape from
destruction, and many of the residents
of Canby, a3 well as the boarders sav
ed the building by carrying water
irom a well. Had there been a wind
blowing the loss would have been
much greater, as the water supply at
Canby is limited, the city water hav
ing being brought f'om the Mack home
on the .-t side of the Southern Pa
cific railroad track, and pumped from
a well hy means of an engine.
The Ci .y Hotel Ins changed hands
several limes dur n1; the past year.
It was locfctd on C Street about two
blocks f"ora the Ktalioa. Mrs. A.
Bradburn took possession of the hotel
several months ago.
Coroner Wilson was called to Canby
soon after the body of Rosencrantz
was removed from the building, but
decided it was unnecessary to hold an
inquest.
