COLORADO LIKE INDIA Two babies, one 16 years and the other 12 years old were married in Denver, Col., Sunday with their par ents' consent. While the firts thought . would probably bring that idea of spanking children with such ideas in their hands, a second consideration leads us to believe" that the parents of both parties to the contract should receive the chastising for allowing them to follow out their dream. It is a pity that the law allows such youthfui alliance in the bonds of mat rimony. Oregon Is ahead of Colo rado on this point, even with parent al consent. The combined committees of the Commercial Clubs of Canemah, Glad stone, Jennings Lodge and Oregon City are still figuring upon ways and means of securing their wants from the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, without enlisting the aid of the Railroad Commission of Ore gon, and is it to be hoped that suc cess will soon reward their efforts. The officials of the road have been invited to eat and talk with the Com mittee. Feed them something gener ous, gentlemen. The' circus is gone and with it' a considerable portion of the savings from last pay day. While the money spent at our Booster Day celebration all stayed at home, and we dare say most of us were more pleased with our home entertainment.

OF SHIPWRECK EARLY WASHINGTON, April 30. When the Senate committee investigating the Titanic disaster resumed its hear ing today, Senator Burton announced he had eaxmined Fourth Officer Box hall last night and had learned from that officer that J. W. Andrews, build er of the Titanic, who went down with the ship, told Captain Smith aft er the collision that the boat would sink within an hour. Andrews had gone over the ship immediately after the crash and dis- covered mac uer iiun uau uceu iip- ped open. E. J. Dunn, an importer of New York, the first witness, said that a day or so ago a friend told of the receipt of the Western Union Tele graph Company of a wireless message which was transmitted to Islefrank between 7:30 and 8 o'clock Monday morning. The code address is that of P. A. S. Franklin, vice-president of the International Mercantile Marine. The message, the witness said he was informed, told of the Titanic dis aster, Lews of which was not made public by the White Star line until 12 hours later. "What's was your informant's name?" asked Senator Smith. "I can't tell you," replied Dunn."I am under pledge not to reveal his name. He promised to come over here to testify but today I received the following telegram: " 'Regret present circumstances do not permit departure.' No signature.' "Did you informant tell you why you should not give his name?" "Simply a matter of protecting his father. He said his, father was em ployed by the Western Union and that if this matter came out and it was known that he gave it, his father would lose his position." Dunn temporarily was excused. "What about the information in the mysterious message?" Senator Smith was asked. "Dunn has not disclosed it on the stand, but I know what it was," said the Senator. "It showed the White Star people had information about the fate of the Titanic hourse before they made it public." "Did the message refer to an at tempt to reinsure the Titanic?'.' "I cannot say now," the Senator re plied. Franklin suggested that the commit tee call on the Western Union to pro duce the message. "We want this matter sifted to the bottom and we want you to have every message, sent or received, that has any bearing on the disaster," said Franklin. Charles H. Morgan, of Cleveland, a Deputy United States Marshal, who brought the witness, Louis Klein, to Washington, next was called. He said Klein disappeared from his home several days ago and could not be found.

All players are not jealous ot Ty Cobb. One never bears of them saying anything detri-, mental to the great Tyrus. though he causes most of them a great deal ot trouble during the season. But what is true of Cobb is not so with Joe Jack son. That worthy made himself decidedly unpopular last fall when he went around the circuit begging for base hits iu order that he might win the automo bile. A catcher on the Nation als told this story. "You can't help but admire Cobb, because he asks no favors, but makes his . game a success by bis wonder ful ability. Not so with Jack son. He was around last fall begging catchers to tell nim what was coming so that he could get base bits, and he had an average of .400 at the time. It will take Jackson several years and a lot of good conduct to live that down. Hall players, like other humans, like fair Play" GREAT PLAY BY EESCHER. Mike Mitchell Tells of Wonderful Catch In Game With Cleveland. At a fanning bet- in baseball head quarters at Cincinnati recently Out fielder Mike Mitchell said Bob Bescher made the greatest play he has ever seen. It happened in Cleveland on Oct 14 of last season. At tbe end of the tenth inning the score stood 5 to 5. In the Reds' half of the eleventh they got two runs. ' Starting the batting for Cleveland. Center Fielder Birmingham doubled to right. Second Baseman Ball hit one between Bescher and Bates. It looked to be good for at least two bases. Bescher came steaming in. made a fly ing stab at the pellet and captured it just at his shoe tops. He was travel ing at such terrific speed that he fell down as he caught the sphere. In the meantime Birmingham was at third, ready to make tbe dash for the plate. Bescher rolled over twice, lay a fraction of a second until he could re gain his wind, then got up and com pleted the double play by pegging the ball to Esmond at second. Of course the people yelled. But they did more than that They stood up on their feet and shouted them selves hoarse in approbation of Besch- er's work. Turner singled, but Easter ly fanned, and the game went to Cin cinnati, 7 to 5. HANS WAGNER AS CAPTAIN. Mansner Clarke Believes Shortstop Will Make' Excellent Field Leader. - It's Captain Hans Wagner of the Pirates, if you please. The "Flying Dutchman" will direct the movements of the Buccaneers on the field this season and will endeavor to share with Fred Clarke the glory of winning the National league championship. "Wagner has been playing ball with me a great many years." said Clarke recently in " discussing the appoint ment, "and he knows just what my ideas are and what ia necessary to be done to carry them out One strong point in bis favor is the fact that be Photo by American Press Association HANS WAONEB, PITTSBURGH'S NEW CAPTAIN plays an infield position The captain should be an infielder if possible." The Dutchman is anxious to show what be can do as captain. He is naturally retiring and. somewhat diffi dent, but such traits are manifested off tbe field. On the diamond be is a perfect baseball machine,' with his en tire attention focused ou the game. When it was suggested to Manager Clarke that Wagner might not be tem peramentally fitted for the captaincy he replied: "You don't know Wagner. He will make an excellent captain; take my word for it" . - 4 -t t " ' . j Helena, the "Babies Queen' Of Italy, Photo -by American Press Association. i . , i 1 kft ; r 'SSs- IJIIilv IT has been suggested that the war against Turkey may pave Deen inspired by the queen of Italy, who is the daughter of King Nicholas of Montfr negro, the tiny kingdom lying on the Adriatic borders of the Ottoman em pire Tbe Montenegrins are the hereditary enemies of the Turks and have been for centuries subject to incursions by Moslem bands, which delighted in carrying away Christian captives Montenegrin princess could have little certain that the queen, who is reported not regret its breaking out. even if she had no hand in It Cjueen Helena is one of the few handsome women of European royal families.

Weddle, one of the-well known Oregon pioneers, uncle of J. E. Jack, county clerk, and of Mr. Weddle, of Stafford, died at his home at Stayton, April 27. He had visited in this city on many occasions at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack and had many friends here. . Mr. Weddle came to Oregon in 1853. He came across the plains by ox team in 1852. He settled in Clackamas County, where he remained until nine teen years of age. From Clackamas County he moved to Stayton. In 1853 he and Miss Margaret Slover, were married and to this union eleven children were born, seven of whom are still living, J. R. Weddle, of Scio, Oregon; O. L. Weddle, of Scio; E. A. Weddle and W. A. Weddle, of Stay ton, Mrs. S. Bursen, of Stayton. Mr. .Weddle enlisted in the Yaki ma Indian War from Clackamas County in 1855. Until a few years ago ne was pastor oi me uriLian church at Stayton. He was born at St. Joseph, Mo. The funeral services were held Monday. T L1 Douglass Thome, one of the well known residents of Maple Lane, and Mrs. Lindau, formerly of Maple Lane, but who left for Salem about "six months ago, were married in Salem Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Thorne arrived here that evning and went to the former's farm. Mr. Thorne is well known in this city, where he lived for some time before moving to Maple Lane. He was formerly engaged in mining.

Oregon mohair at this time is actually worth seems to be a mat ter of much uncertainty. The course of the market the past week beyond doubt has tended to cloud rather than clear the situation, and it is but natural that the valley growers should be considerably perplexed ' as a result of the late developements. The sale of the Eddyville pool at a small fraction under 38J cents about a week ago is a matter of record, and it is conceded in all quarters that the boosting of the market to that figure was to some extent the result of rivalry among the local buyers Then about the middle of last week word went out that the mafket had eased oil to something like the norm al level and that buyers would not under any circumstances pay better than 34 cents for mohair.
