FOULARD IN PRETTY DESIGN
Today's drawing shows a foulard
frock in shades of tan and blue re
lieved at the neck by a chemisette
of all-over lace and lace revers with
ruffles of mousseline. This dainty
touch of white neaT the face gives
an impression of coolness very grate
ful in hot days and is practical also
as both revers and shield may be re
moved and cleaned. The fullness of
the blouse is gathered beneath a band
of self-tone velvet and that of the
skirt beneath a similar band terminat
ing in a flat bow. The skirt shows a
very slight suggestion of panniers.
Around the bottom are two narrow
ruffles of the foulard which complete
the general quaint picture which the
kown presents.
Koreans Great Eaters.
The Koreans are said to be the great
est eaters In the world. To eat Is an
honor in Korea, and the merit of a
feast consists not so much in the
quality as in the quantity of the food
served. Little conversation occurs dur
ing the Korean meal, for the diners
are too intent on consuming what they
have before them. Eating matches are
! common, it is said.

COLONEL'S MEETING
COST JUST $17,000
CHICAGO, Aug. 9. A statement of

The seat sale to the Progresive
convention and the individual contri
butions totaled $19,000, leaving a sur
plus of $2,000 in the Progressive

The Progressive national commi
ttee continued today its work of can

nia, accompanied by several other
members of the California delegation,
left last night for the west.
SCORE OF DETROIT
ALDERMEN ARRESTED
DETROIT, Aug. 9 Sensational de
velopment in the local Aldermanic
graft scandal occurred today when
Prosecuting Attorney Shepard an
nounced that 20 Aldermen would be
arrested on charges of conspiracy to
defraud the city in connection with
their political position. They were
taken in custody during the day.
The nine Aldermen recently arrest
ed on a similar charge also are includ
ed among the 20 new arrests.
It is said that arrests are to he
based on evidence entirely different
from that which led to the arrest of
nine Aldermen and the secretary of
the Common Council committees, who
now are at liberty on bail facing
charges of receiving and conspiring
to receive bribe money for giving the
Wabash Railroad city property for
building purposes.
The new evidence is alleged to have
been obtained by the prosecutor in
vestigating the city, administration for
years back.
The prosecutor says he has struck
many new instances of graft hut re
fused to say whether the evidence was
obtained from confessions By Alder
men previously arrested.
The superintendent of police sent
out ' nearly every detective on the
force to arrest the Aldermen and the
prisoners were locked up at police
headquarters.
Fifteen arrests were made before
noon. Eight of the Aldermen also face
the original charge of bribery.
Those newly arrested were required
to furnish $5000 bonds and those for
merly taken into custody were releas
ed upon furnishing surety to the
amount of $2000.

WITNESS FOR STATE
NEW YORK, Aug. 9. The Tombs
prison keepers seemed to think today
that Police Lieutenant Becker was on
the point of breaking down, and there
were reports at the public prosecut
or's office that the police officer under
indictment for the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, the gambler, might turn
state's evidence.
District Attorney Whitman conferr
ed with John F. Mclntyre, counsel for
the accused Lieutenant, but said no
terms for a confession were discuss
ed. Whitman said:
"I have hope that Becker, who is
a shrewd man, may decide that his
best interests will require him to tell
the whole truth. If he should do that
I should have . to think over pretty
carefully what my attitude would be.
"While murder is a graver crime
than blackmail, it might be that I
would decide in the event of a confes
sion to ask some clemency for Beck
er. One of the greatest accomplish
ments for the good of the community
would be to find out who are the big
blackmailers in the Police Depart
ment and to abolish forever that
treacherous and wicked system.'
Lieutenant Becker, however, made a
brief statement in his ell denying
the truth of reports that he contemp'
lated making a confession.
"I would like it to be understood,
once and for all," said Becker, "that
I have no confession to make, for the
simple reason that I have nothing to
confess. That will be proved very
quickly."

GIRL OE PINK MASK
IS NEWPORT PUZZLE
NEW YORK, Aug. 9. Metropolitan
and Newport social circles are Stirred
by a real mystery. Pets of society,
debonair "smart set" lions and las
sies, inquisitive society writers for
gossipy journals and uncaptured bach
elors of marriageable estate are in a
perfect fever of excitement.
For of course it's all about a beau
tiful young woman.
Young, daintily charming, with the,
poise of a queen, the wit of a Parisi
enne, the coquetry of a rainbow she
has Eet the society folk of Newport
into a buzzing Babel of whispered
comment . and speculation. Who is
she?
Ah, there's the rub. Likewise the
mystery. For, guess as they may,
scheme as they will, plot as they do,
not a single person, save the inner
few of the upper ten who have been
standing sponsor for her, has been
able. to fathom the identity of the ex
quisite "Girl With the Pink Mask," as
she has been named.
At every society function of conse
quence recently she has appeared,
gowned in "creations" that have caus
ed feminine gasps of envy and mascu
line marathons at her bewitching side.
Rich she must be, superbly beautiful
she undoubtedly is, and of high social
standing without doubtelse why the
entree she has gained to tie most ex
clusive affairs held in Newport?
Yet not a hostess has introduced
her to a single guest, and not a hos
tess will help solve the mystery.
She always appears with a dainty
pink silken mask, from which peep
two eyes of steady blue, brimming
with mischief. Her hair of wavy
brown fittingly crowns this queen of
mystery, and her slender figure would
grace a goddess.
She rarely lingers more than a brief
half-hour, usually vanishing as mys
teriously as she comes, long before
the majority of guests have had time
to know of her presence.
Ask one of those prime dames who
preside over the social destinies of
Newport's most exclusive set about
the 'Girl With the Pink Mask." You
will meet uplifted eyebrows, a bland
simle, and soft-cadenced rejoinder
about as fallaws:
"Yes? Why, really. I do not know
what you mean. Most certainly any
person who has honored me by being
my guest is known to me personally
A girl with a pink mask? Really,
that is quite beyond my comprehen
sion. You can say for me most em
phatically that those who attend my
receptions are not expected . to come
togged out in any such bizarre attire."
And there you are.

ONION CROP TO BE
LATER THAN LAST YEAR
Oregon's first 1912 onions will be of
fered about August 20 or a few days
later. Last year the first carload was
shipped out September 10.
Announcement of the excellency of
the 1912 onion crop in Oregon was
made by W. I. Swank, who has been
reappointed general selling agent for
the Confederated Onion Growers' as
sociation which practically controls
the late onion business in the Pacific
northwest. It is likewise a big fact
or in making the California market
late in the season.
"The crop of onions that will be
available for market will in all prob
ability be somewhat heavier than last
season," says Mr. Swank. "There are
two reasons for this. The total acre
age is greater and a much smaller
amount of stock has been contracted
for seed purposes than usual. This,
together with the present excellent
condition of the crop, insures a great
er total production for market than a
year ago."
Prevailing Oregon City prices are as

DIES SUDDENLY
(Continued from page 1)
erything he had, as a result of the
war, moved with his family to this
city and obtained a farm at Clarkes.
John remained faithful and a few
years later the judge gave his former
slave a ranch near Clarkes. It was
about this time that John assumed the
surname of Livingstone, after that of
the famous African explorer. The ne
gro was frugal and industrious . and
added to his property until his death
when he was possessor of a forty acre
tract near Salem and 180 acres in
Eastern Oregon.
Judge Ringo and his family died
many years ago, and ever since then
John has led more or less a lonesome
existence. He and Mary Drake were
married in about 1876, the union being
an unusually happy one. To them
was born one child, Charles who is
employed in a sawmill at Boring. Mrs.
Livingstone died several years a?o,
and was buried in a cemetery at
Clarkes. There the heartbroken hus
band went every Sunday and placed
flowers on her grave. Friends say
that Clackamas County has never
known a more genuine case of sorrow
for a lost wife than that of this quiet,
simple, negro. In speaking of his
wife Livingstone always wept and on
ly Thursday he informed Justice of
the Peace Samson, who had taken
great interest in the man, that he
wanted to be buried beside his wife.
Livingstone could neither read nor
write and Mr. Samson and M. A. El
liott attended to his correspondence for
him. Mr. Samson also attended to the
old man's banking business.
"I never knew a finer man than
John Livingstone," said Mr. Samson,
Friday evening. "He was the soul of
honor. His skin was as black as ;oal
but his heart was alabaster. His word
was gospel, and I have often heard the
bankers of the city say they would
rather have John Livingstone's word
than that of any white man in the
county in a financial transaction."
Mr. Miles, who had known Living
stone in Missouri paid him even a
higher tribute. "His loyalty, to his
master, his determination to stay with
him to the last, even to going to a
strange country, and the reward Judge
Ringo rendered, is one of those beaut
iful things which connect the old
slave days with the present," said Mr.
Miles. "John Livingstone was a man
among many." '
Mr. Livingstone called at Justice or
the Peace Samson's office Thursday
and gave him $1.50 with which to pay
insurance dues in the state grange.
He seemed to be in good health then.
Recently when I was ill and it was
thought that I might not recover,"
said Mr. Samson, "John called at my
house every day. One day he said
to me, 'Judge if you should die I
would lose one of my best friends.
Don't die.' I told him not to worry,
and now he is dead and I am all right'
About nine years ago Livingstone
gave up farming and has since work
ed for Frank Welsh and B. F. Unn.
He was a favorite with the families of
both and died at the home of Mr.
Welsh. The interment probably will
be held at Clarkes Sunday, and hund
reds of persons will attend the obse
quies. A Medieval Swiss Village.
The little village of Fresens, in the
canton of Neuchatel, population 200,
still wears' an atmosphere of the mid
dle ages, and its customs and local
government have not changed for cen
turies. Most of the inhabitants, peas
ants, have never seen a railway train,
placed as it is in a remote valley. No
roads connect the village with other
villages and towns, the place is not
lighted up at night, and there is no
cafe nor any public building. There
is no policeman, for the president of
the commune acts as judge, lawyer, so;
licitor and gendarme, rereivins for
those offices 24 shillings a year. Gene

MASTER GETS DOG
PAPER MADE FAMOUS
Sheriff Mass and his family are be
reaved. Several days ago they saw
an article in the Morning Enterprise
regarding a - valuable water spaniel
having been impounded. Mr. Mass
immediately hunted up E. L. Shaw and
obtained the dog by paying $1 license
fee and $1 for the keeping of the ani
mal in the pound. The family natur
ally became attached to the canine,
and Friday when the owners, James
Jones, of Carus, called and demanded
the dog Mr. Mass was not thrown into
a' frenzy of exhultation. However, he
was game and told Mr. Jones he could
have the dog if Mr. Jones gave him
$2. Jones demurred on the ground
that no license was necessary because
he lived in the country. However, E.
L. Shaw, explaining that he did not
wish to usurp the functions of either
the judiciary or the executive, but lay
ing considerable stress upon his auth
ority as pound overseer, informed Mr.
Jones that not one cent of the $2
would be returned by the city. Re
corder Stipp affirmed the decision
without even looking at a law book
and further informed Mr. Jones that
the dog belonged to Mr. Mass if the
sheriff wished to keep it. Jones paid
the sheriff the money, Shaw giving
him leave to appeal.
