WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. "General"
Rosalie Jones and her army of "hi
kers" from New York are expected to
be within striking distance of the
capital tomorrow.
A message was received at Laurel,
Mel., by "General" Jones that the Na
' tional Suffragette officers themselves
desired to deliver to President Wilson
the message the hikers were bearing
to Washington. This situation caus
ed consternation in the "army" but
the protests of some of the "soldiers"
were silenced by the pacific attitude
of "General" Jones.
When the hikers reached Bladens
burg they were met by Miss Alice
Paul from the Washington headquar
ters and after a conference it was de
cided to leave the question open until
after the capital headquarters is
reached tomorrow.
Insurgency developed late tonight,
end Miss Tlizabeth Freeman, one of
the "nikers", declared that if the mem
bers of the "army ' were not permit
ted to deliver the message as origi
nally intended she would desert and
return to New York.
Newspaper correspondents walking
with "General" Rosalie Jones and her
"army" of hikers defended the suffra

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. The plea
of union labor for representation in
,ihe President's Cabinet may be recog
nized in the selection of Representa
tive William B. Wilson, of Pennsyl
vania, to be secretary of the newly
created Department of Labor. This
information, along with other reliable
advices, came to the political leaders
at the Capitol today direct from Tren
ton. Representative Wilson has been
indorsed by tne American Federation
of Labor, and was at one time secre
tary of the United Mine Worwers of
America.
From the same sources it was learn
ed that William B. Redfield, of Brook
lyn, might be made a member of the
Cabinet. For what portfolio he is
considered was not divulged, but it
is' known that the President-elect
holds the highest regard for Red
field's views on the tariff, and has for
some time hoped to have him an one
of his close advisers..
About the future of three portfol

It is believed that the bill increas

tended of schools of Clackamas from
$1,000 a year to $1,G00 will become a
law. H has passed the House and
Senate, and been vetoed by Governor
West. However, the vote in both
houses for the measure was so large
it is -virtually assured that it will be
passed over the Governor's veto. Sen
ator Dimick, who returned to Oregon
City Thursday night, explained why
he voted against the measure. He
said that he had offered an amend
ment fixing the salary of the super
intendent at $1,200 a year. Senator
Dimick is seriously ill of the grip and
may not be able to return to Salem
when the Legislature convenes.
SMALLPOX BROUGHT
FROM OTHER TO
SALEM, Feb. 27. Because of an
error made by the engrossing clerk
House bill 609, carrying an appropria
tion of more than $672,000 for the
Oregon State Insane- Asylum, may
have "been nullified. Attorney-General
Crawford gives an off-hand opin
ion that the bill will hold good, but
at the same time says that the au
thority given the State Board under
it will be circumscribed by law. He
is not sure of this, however, and when
the Legislature reconvenes next Tues
day the bill will probably be return
ed to it for curative action.
When the bill was passed by the
House it allowed an appropriation of
more than $612,000 for the asylum for
maintenence, improvements and oth
er features. In the Senate it was
amended to include an item of $60,
000 .for completion of the new wing.
The House refused to concur in the
amendment, the Senate receded from
its position and the $60,000 was or
dered stricken out. In the bill, as
engrossed, the $60,000 item appears.
It was signed in that form by the
President and Speaker and presented
to the Governor.
"In my opinion, as the records show
that the $60,000 appropriation for the
new wing was eliminated, the board
cannot make use of that much more
money and will be held down to $612,-
000 in expenditures," said the Attorney-General.
"This is an off-hand
opinion, however, and I think it best
that the Legislature correct the error
when it reassembles."

j president of the Women's Democrat
ic National Leagle.

VICTIM Of TYPHOID
Priests From All Parts of State Pay
Homage to Venerable Chaplain
PurSe Is Given to
Him
The golden jubilee of Rev. Father
F. S. Beck, Chaplain of St. Agnes'
Baby Home at Parkplace, was observ
ed at the home Thursday afternoon.
Rev. Father A. Hillebrand, pastor of
St. John's Church, of Oregon City, in
the absence of Archbishop A. Chris
tie, who is ill, was in charge of the
services. More than 40 priests were
present. Rev. Father Hillebrand
preached the jubilee sermon and sang
high mass. Father Beck has been
chaplain of the home for nine years,
and through his endeavors it has be
come known as one of the finest char
itable institutions in the state. He is
74 years of age, but is enjoying the
best of health. The aged priest was
presented a purse by the other clergy
men present, and he made a feeling
address of thanks.
Among the priests present were
Rev. James Rauw, V. G. Monsignore,
Bernard Richter, of Melrose, Minn.,
who is visiting Rev. Father Hille
brand, and Revs. Lane, O'Hara, Ried
haar, Daly, Bentgen, Smith, Conaty,
Gregory, Abbott Placidus, of Mount
Angel; Gallus, Heiser and Matuzew
sky. Rev. Mt. Hillebrand andMonsignore
Richter were schoolmates at the Uni
versity of Munster, Germany, and were
members of the same fraternity.
Monsignore Richter will be the guest
of Father Hillebrand for several days,
and later will make a tour of the
West.
The celebration was arranged by
the priests without the knowledge of
Rev. Father Beck, and as a big sur
prise to him.
Little Velma Allen Told She Will be
Visited by Robbers and Cap- '
tured at Midnight
Howard Mass, the eight-year-old son -of
Sheriff Mass is a precocious lad.
The boy, being in love with Velma
Allen, a girl about his owaage, and
his love being unrequited, wrote her
a "blackhand'' letter February 7. The
letter was placed in the hands of the
police soon after its receipt, the girl's
parents being greatly alarmed by it.
It was traced to young Mass by 'his
teacher In the Barclay school.. The
letter follows:
"Oregon City, Or., Feb. 7. Velma
Allen There is going to be a bunch
of robbers, and they are going to
capture you at midnight February
28, 1913, and they have snakes with
them.
"Yours truly,
"The Man With the Crooked Thumb."
Below the signature is a skull and
crossbones cleverly drawn.
The letter was sealed with a Red
Cross Stamp, young Mass.explaining
that the stamp was used because he
wanted to impress upon ta ? girl un-
less she did as dictated "The ambu-'
lance would get her."
Sheriff Mass exhibited the letter
Thursday night which his son had
written to the girl. Thj Sheriff sa'.d
that the boy had been punished and
he was tertair h woulc. ina commit .
another offense of th same charac
ter. "I think older boys put Howard up .
to it,'' said the Sheriff. "However. .

Sharing the fate of other North
western cities, Oregon City has had
four cases of small-pox during the
past month. The source of most of
the cases liave been traced to Port
land and other places where the dis
ease is more prevalent. One case was
diagnosed two ttays after the man
moved to Oregon City. Two Of the
other cases are supposed to have de
veloped in other places. Ellard Bail
ey, who was stricken some time ago
by the disease, has been removed to
the pest house in Portland for treat
ment.
Dr. J. W. Norris, city health officer,
has instructed all persons who have
been exposed to the disease to be vac
innated and also urges that persons
who have not been vacinnated should
be vacinnated at once. All cases have
been quarantined and it is thought
that uo new cases will develop.

A resolution adopted by Warner
Grange declaring that Circuit Judge
Campbell and County Judge Beatie
have refused the use of the court
rooms in the county court house for
public meetings, has caused much
comment. Judge Campbell- was not
in the city Thursday, but Judge Beatie
declared that the resolution was mla
adin. He said that the rooms had
not been refused tne granges and oth
er bodies, but had been refused to
what was considered business organ
izations. He said that it had been
suggested that they obtain halls in
the city or try to arrange to hold
their meetings in the Commercial
Club rooms. The courthojise, of
course, was intended for the use of
persons engaged in court work, but
the. officials are ready and willing to
t-irn over the building when it can be
done to societies working for a better
in nt of conditions. Warner Grang3
before scoring the judges should have
made an investigation. There is no
question that the members can get
anything they ask in the way of ac
commodation within reason.
Preparations for the big smoker at
the Commercial Club March 4 are
progressing satisfactorily and there
will ceitainly be a great entertain
ment.. The inaugural address alone
will be well worth hearing, even
though the rest of the program should
not be so fine. But the committee in
charge promises big things and when
ever M. .D Latourette, who i3
chairman, makes a promise, it means
something.
