Basis for Nego
tiations LONDON, Feb. 1 In Turkish and
Balkan headquarters the expectation
has becu intense the whole day of
some move by the powers, either
collectively or separately, to avert
the threatened war. Russia and
Austria, the two nations most inter
ested in Near Eastern conditions, and
Great Britain, , which has peculiar
reasons as host of the conference lor
wishing to see it succeed, are locked
to pai'icularly for an effort to bridge
the narrow gulf which separates the
comt-ataats.
Although the delegates thanked
England in glowing terms for her
hospitality, some of them think she
did not give as much assistance as
she might have given. They point
out that they came a great distance
from the Balkan states to LondoD,
which in some ways is not adapted to
intercourse between delegations, on
ly because they trusted that British
influence in favor of peace would
make itself strongly felt. The dele
gates of this mind oppose the idea
of returning to London for the con
clusion of peace, if the war is renew
ed. The ambassadors of the powers
met today and later notified their
respective governments that the
sense of the meeting was that the
Turkish reply to the powers' af
forded a poor oasis for resuming
peace negotiations. They suggested

DELIA DARK ASKS
DECREE OF DIVORCE
Delia Dark filed suit for a divorce
Saturday. Hazel Day was awarded
a decree recently. Sallie Knight was
given a decree about six months ago.
Miss Minnie Monday became a bride
here recently on a JKriday. Mrs. Dark
avers that her husband is an ineb
riate. She says that he remained
from home late at night and failed to
support her. They were married in
Portland, July 2, 1911. William T,
Spidell seeks a decree from Minnie
M. Spidell. They were married in
Chelsia, Mass., December 8, 1892. The i
plaintiff says her husband deserted
her in July, 1911.
ON HOME RULE BILL
SALEM, Or., Feb. 1 Attorney Gen
eral Crawford has reversed his form
er interpretation of the home rule
amendment and today rendered an
opinion to the effect that home rule
elections cannot legality be held ex
cept on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November of any
year. Previously he held that such
elections could be held at the time
of any regular city election.
The question came up at this time
on a request from Mrs. Clara M. Hoff
man, corresponding secretary of the
Women's Christian Temperance Un
ion of Metrolius in Crook County, for
an opinion. It seems that Metrolius
has been recently incorporated and
as the county is dry, the wet element
in the city desired to have an elec
tion held immediately under the
home rule amendment.
It is held in the opinion that all
provisions that apply to the local op
tion law also apply to the home rule
amendment with the" exception of
course as to the unit included. This
brings out another point that has not
been noticed, which is that the re
sult of home rule elections cannot go
into effect until the first of the fol
lowing January, the same as local op
tion elections.
According to this, it is pointed out,
nothing could be gained by hilding
the home rule election early in the
year, because if the city was voted
either wet or dry the new order
would not become effective until Jan
uary 1. No time would be gained ov
er holding the election at the time
prescribed in November.

the Lehman's for years. "Mr. Leh
man worshipped his wife and he did
everything possible for her. When
he finished his work in the mornings

One of the most delightful affairs
that has been given for some time in
Oregon City was the dance Friday
evening given by the members of the
Fol-de-Rol Club in Buschs Hall. The
dance was largely attended by mem
bers of the younger set who danced
to the beautiful music rendered by
Olson1 s Orchestra. The hall was ar
tistically decorated with pennants, In
dian blankets and Indian baskets
which were filled with greens. The
lights were shaded with orange colar
ed tissue paper and the soft amber
colored light which filled the space
made a very pleasing effect. At one
corner of the room punch was served,
while in still another the patronesses
sat in big easy chairs. They were
Mrs. John Lewthwaite, Jr., Mrs. Wal
lace Cole, Mrs. M. D. Latourette and
Mrs. Leonard Pickens. So great was
the success of Friday evening's
dance that it was decided to give an
other danee immediately after lent.

AUTHOR MAY ALLOW IT TO GO
BY DEFAULT TO HELP SCHUE
BEL MEASURE
GOOD ROADS PUZZLING QUESTION
Measures for Improving Thorough
fares are Many and Solons Can
not Meet on Common
Ground
SALEM, Feb. 1., (Special.) Quiet
which reined through the Legislative
halls today is but the calm that pres
ages the storm of the coming week.
In the Senate Oregon City measures
promise to play no mean part In
the flurry that is coming. The Dimick
eight hour bill should get into the
floor in that end of- the Legislature
and when it does it will probably
cause some real excitement. The bill
is doomed that is certain. It ill
meet with defeat in the Senate and
never have an opportunity to come
to life again during the session, but
there will be a strong fight put up
for it even with the slim promise
that it has before it.
However, the author of the bill may
allow it to go by default and devote
his energy to the Schuebel 10-hour
bill. By some miraculous method
that bill was put through the House
but in the Senate apparently it will
go the way of the Dimick measure.
Both of these proposals will reach
the Senate this week. Schuebel's bill
is already in the committee.
One of the main conflicts of the
session will be found in the good road
measures. There are numerous bills
which have for their purpose the ad
vancement of good road building in
the state, but there are numerous con
flicting factions which can meet on
no ' common ground. The two main
factions are those that are for the
state aid and those who are for
county good road rule with the coun
ty as a unit. Already two county
bonding measures have passed but
they are both factional measures and
there seems to be small chance of
the two sides getting together on
the provisions of either one. With
the one faction on the one hand de
termined that there shall be no road
legislation but county road legislation
and this faction split so widely open
that there may be no balm to heal
and on the other side a determined
phalanx lined up strongly against the
county proposition and favoring state
aid possibility of agreement is re
mote. In the event of one of these meas
ures pushing, its nose through both
houses there is still the fac
tor of the Governor to deal with
Senator McCullough, his spokesman in
the Senate, has practically stated
that the people have tabooed road
legislation as proposed to a v?reat
enough extent that the Legislature
should go slow before attempting to
enact measures that have bu." recent
ly been defeated by the voice of the
people. If any underground indica
tions can be gained from this surface
offhand expression of the. Governor's
advance agent there may be some
reason to believe that the Executive
may have tried to be conferred with the
fore any good road measure becomes
a law.
State Printer Duniway h?s com
pleted a lengthy repirt which he has
prepared and printed voluntarily for
distribution Mondav among the mem
bers of the Legislature. This report,
shows the work of the printing office
for the six years that he has been an
incumbent; attacks the Governor and
Secretary of State b'ttorly and asserts
that State Printing Exoen Harris is
"a gossip, incompetent an I a fainl
ure." It accuses the Secretary of
State of having taken unfair advan
tage of the state printer, of having
twice paid out a bill amounting to
more than $1,900 for the same mat
ter and calls the Governor "Foxy"
and "Sharp" in his methods. This
report is the forerunner of the fight
which will be waged over the ques
tion of whether the 1911 fiat salary
statute, which is due to become ef
fective in 1915, unless repealed, shall
remain on the statute books.
In addition the report accuses State
Printing Expert Harris of receiving
pay on the approval of the Governor
for work which he does not perform
and in general furnishes some spicy
reading for the Legislators after their
three day recesB.
TAFT MISLED, SAYS
DETECTIVE BURNS
NEW YORK, Feb. 1. Congression
al investigation of Oregon and Cali
fornia frauds, provided for in a res
olution introduced into the House by
Representative Ferris, is welcomed
by Detective William J. Burns, accord
ing to his declaration here today.
"I most earnestly hope and pray
that the resolution is passed," said
Burns. "Nothing would please me
better than for the report furnished
by the pardon clerk to the attorney
general in the case of William Jones,
recently pardoned,, to be carefully in
vestigated. ' It jjontained the most
outrageous falsehoods regarding my
self that were ever uttered. Pres
ident Taft and Attorney-General
Wicltersham were outrageously de
ceived. "I have incurred the ill will of those
who have suffered from the hundreds
of important investigations I have
made. I welcome any investigation
of my official conduct during the
many years I was in the govenment
service, and I will gladly submit my
self for trial before the United States
court."
DIRECTORS OF CLACKAMAS
COUNTY ORGANIZATION ELECT-
ED AT MEETING
$5,225 RECEIVED AT LAST EXHIBITION
Time of Annual Meeting Changed
From First Saturday in
February to Decem
ber The County Fair Association at a
meeting Saturday afternoon in the
Commercial Club parlors elected J.
W. Smith, W. H. Blair, Charles N.
Wait, A. D. Gribble, O. E. Freytag
and O. D. Eby members of the board
of directors. At a meeting which will
be held next Friday .afternoon at
d:dO o clock it is probable that Mr.
Smith will be reelected president.
The meeting was called to order at
1 o'clock by Mr. Smith, president O.
E. Freytag, treasurer; O. D. Eby,
secretay and W. P. Kercham, vice
president, were present. The secre
tary in his report announced that $5,
225 had been received at the last
fair through gate receipts and conces
sions. He said that $825 of the in
debtedness of the association had
been paid, and there was $325 in the
treasury. A resolution changing the
time of the annual meeting from the
first Saturday in February .to the
first Saturday in December was adopt
ed by a unanimous vote. It was the
opinion of those present that having
tne meeting immediately after the
fair would cause the farmers to take
a greater interest.
The report of the president follows:
In accordance with the usual cus
tom and by-laws of this corporation,
I herewith submit my annual report
as your president during the past
year. ,
The 1912 fair was a success from
every standpoint and is another addi
tion to the unbroken chain of suc
cesses since the organization of this
association. AH business matters per
taining to the late fair, have been set
tled and all patrons and exhibitors
are well pleased with the efforts put
forth by the officers and the complete
success of the recent exhibition. The
association is in the best financial
condition that it has experienced since v
purchasing the grounds at Canby and
the Fair is known of by more people
of this county and state than ever be
fore, therefore I predict and am confi
dent that the 1913 Fair will by far
surpass any of the previous Fairs in
attendance and exhibits. -
The improvement upon the grounds
during the past year, mainly com
prised of lighting the grounds and
buildings with electricity. This work
included building a substantial line
with good cedar poles and copper
wire from a point in the city of Can
by, one fourth mile south of the Fair
grounds and continuing this line past
the main pavilion and to the live
stock barns. All of the buildings with-.
out any exceptions have been wired
and supplied with lights. The camp
grove is wired and lighted and a
string of lights placed along the'
streets leading from the railroad en
trance and the south entrance to the
