111 ILLINOIS FIGHT
SECRETARY OF STATE PROVES
THAT HE IS FIRST-CLASS
DIPLOMAT
2 DEMOCRATS CANNOT BE ELECTED
Balloting Is Unavailing" and Indica
tions are That Lewis Will
Not Wear Senatorial
Toga
SPRINGFIELD, 111., March 18.
William Jennings Bryan, Secretary
of State, talked about the Illinois
senatorial muddle today in sentences
so diplomatically turned that every
faction tonight is reverting to the
speech as a vindication from Wash
ington of its position.
At the same time the candidates
and Illinois folk generally are a bit
puzzled by the Delphic character of
the Nebraskan's talk
To the democrats he said: "Vote
for our primary candidates," but he
mentioned no names.
To Republicans he said: "Vote for
your primary choice."
To Progressives: "You had no can
didate in the primaries; hence you
are in a position to vote for whom
you please and to retain your stand
ing at home."
' Shortly after Secretary Bryan had
concluded his address the 11th ballot
was taken on the senatorships, and
the democrats were worse split than
ever Four of the party refused to
vote for James Hamilton Lewis, the
party nominee. Theodore Roosevelt
had sent a new message this time
to Emil J. Zolla, a Chicago Progress
sive advising against a Bull Moose
Republican combination if the votes
of the democrats who helped elect
William Lorimer were necessary to
elect Colonel Lewis.

KING GEORGE OF

DISPATCH

Since 1863 (Vlade Fortune
Speculating King Was
Worth Millions
LONDON, March 18. King George
of Greece was assassinated in Ath
ens today, according to a dispatch to
a local news agency from Salonika...
King George was assassinated at
Salonika, where he was at the head
of a division of the Greek army, ac
cording to news agency dispatches.
News of his death reached Paris,
Berlin, Rome and other capitals si
multaneously, but confirmation still
is lacking. King George had been
in "Salonika since last December when
the city surrendered to the Balkan
forces.
1 Queen Olga has been in the field
much of the time with King George.
An attempt to assassinate the king in
1898 failed.
' The heir to the throne of Greece
is Crown Prince Constantine, who
now is at Janina, commanding the
Greek troops there. '
Just 50 years ago today George was
elected king by the Greek national
assembly. He was a son of King
Christian IX of Denmark and a
brother of Queen Alexandra of Eng
land. The Greek legation here admitted
it had heard rumors of the assassina
tion of King George, but declared no
confirmation had been received. The
Reuters News agency, however, car
ried an unqualified dispatch to the
effect that the king was assassinated
at Salonika.

Completion of the Molalla railroad,
pure water, public dock and hitching
posts were the subjects that en
grossed the attention of . the Live
Wires of the Commercial Club at
their weekly luncheon Tuesday. H.
E. Cross, Main Trunk of the organi
zation, made a stirring plea for the
early completion' of the Clackamas
Southern railway, and he was second
ed by Grant B. Dimick, B. T. Mc
Bain, and others who- have spent
time and money in an effort to bring
the Molalla country in close touch
with -Oregon City. The company
needs about $50,000 to place the line
in operation this year. The ties and
rails have been purchased, but some
grading still remains to be done, and
the money available for the purchase
of the rails cannot be used to cover
grading expense. However the friends
of -the project are working hard, with
every prospects of ultimate, if not
speedy success.
The old story of the lack of hitch
ing posts at Oregon City came up
in the form of. letters from Maple
Lane, Clairmont and Mount Pleasant,
and the matter was referred to L.
Adams, Frank Busch and W. A.
Huntley, who have their work cut
out for them. The need of more and

will be larger this year than ever be

tary Cross, during the' past month,
from seemingly every nook and cor

is well founded.

taining his Prince Albert coat on the

brother and bride-to-be to acept the
situation in good nature and appear in

formed in the living room, one cor
ner of which was converted into a
beautiful sylvan altar, under a roof
of greens and carnations. A bell of
carnations with a cala lily claper was
suspended from this beautiful cov
ering. Just before the. ceremony Miss

REED COLLEGE MAN
SAYSliVE RIGHT"
The Congregational Brotherhood
and the public in general, were treat
ed to a splendid lecture Tuesday
night by Dr. Edward B. Sisson, in
structor of "education at Reed college.
Dr. Sisson, who is a forceful and in
teresting speaker, declared that the
need of the American schools today
was men. He stated that boys in
their adolescent period needed con
tact with good clean men, which they
are seldom able to get at present. He
stated that the teaching profession j
should be more attractive to men be-
causa boys needed the association of r.
men in the class room which theydid !
not receive and were riot able to re-!
ceivefrom the hands of women. Dr. j
Sisson spoke in glowing terms of j
women and of their work and the
interest which-they take in school af
fairs, and said that the men should
display as great interest. He - also
urged that fathers associate more
closely with their song and stated,'
that if this were done, there would be";
few boys go wrong.
Dr. Sisson stated that there- are
many useless ! courses now being .
tough in the public schools that ,
could well be substituted for more
useful ones. He urged that social
hygiene and sex instruction should
be taught in the public schools and
that all children should be taught the
truth." Dr. Sisson stated that one of
the greatest problems that, has faced
the American people is that of the
present social, unrest, and that '"the :
teachers should be able to -instruct
the pupils on social lines, in . a fair ;
and rational manner. ' i
Before the open lecture of Dr. Sis- (
son, a dinner was served to the Broth- I
erhood by the Ladies' Aid society,;
which was enjoyed by about sixty!
men. . Music was furnisheu during the
evening by Prof. Gustav Flechtner. T.

COIEIL TO FIGHT
FOR PUBLIC DOCK
A petition will be presented to th j
council this evening asking that Ore-;
gon City be supplied with a . public ;
dock. The business men are unani-
mous for the Improvement, and it- is !
believed that - there will be but few
objections to the proposition. The
council is expected to appoint and j
to leave the manner of appropriation!
as well as the method of management,
to the council committee to put into j
effect. This matter is one which is
believed has the public favor. j
Portland wanted docks and bonded
the city for hundreds of thousands of j
dollars. California bonded the state '
for $12,000,000 for a system of state
docks. Oregon City needs only a few
thousand. The benefits are too num
erous and. apparent to enumerate.
