RINGER TO WIN
His Nomination Today
Seems a Certainty.
HARRIS STILL HANGS OH
Counts on Thirty Men Put in
Opponent's List,
MAY BE MADE JOINT SENATOR
Booth Willing to Relinquish Repre
sentation From Lane, Douglas and
Josephine If His Adherents
Will Give Their Consent.
SALEM, Or., April 12. (Special.) The
Congressional Convontlon In the First
District will be organized here tomorrow,
with Senator George C. Brownell, of
Clackamas County, as chairman. Blngcr
Hermann will be renominated for Con
gress on the first ballot, or by acclama
tion. While Li. T. Harris has not given
up the fight, many of his friends concede
his defeat, and predict that his name will
not go before the qonventlon.
There is a bare possibility that Harris
may yet win out In his effort to secure
the necessary S9 votes, but that possibil
ity seems very remote. According to the
count made by conservative men tonight,
Hermann has 117 votes in the convention.
It is asserted that Harris can get 30 of
these, provided he can make a show of
votes enough to win. That is. there are
SO men, scattered among a number of
delegations, who are ready to go to Har
ris if they think he can win.
Harris Still Sanguine.
Harris thinks ho can convince them of
his strength, and tonight he counts these
30 delegated for himself. It Is not likely,
however, that the 30 can be convinced, and
he will probably get none of them. The
hand-wagon movement Is strong, and,
therefore, Hermann Is enabled to hold a
number of men who would leave him if
he did not seem to be a winner.
It also seems tonight to be quite prob
able that Harris will be nominated for
Joint Senator from Lane, Douglas and
Josephine, to succeed Senator Booth.
Such an outcome as this has been ru
mored all day, but no confirmation of the
plan can be had.
It is known that Booth does not want
tho Joint Senatorshlp, and made a fight
lor it only because he could not retreat
under Are. Having won out, .he is said to
"be desirous that the place shall be filled
fcy another, if tho delegations concerned
are willing. Booth has several times in
dicated his intention to retire from pol
itics and devote his entire time to his
business.
Look for the Unexpected.
Not all of the delegations are here yet,
and it Is possible some unexpected events
may happen tomorrow. It Is certain that
there will be no contest over the organ
ization of the convention.
Efforts to work out the Congressional
problem for Harris have absorbed all at
tention this evening, since the delegates
hegan to arrive, and nothing has been
done that shows any changes in any" of
the other Joint Senator nominations.
These contests' will be waged, in Portland
tomorrow evening. In the Third Judicial
District considerable work has been done
today, the effort being to prevent any
combinations and keep the convention of
the five counties open for all aspirants.

Linn Delegation Will Also Vote for
Wyatt and Moore.
ALBANY, Or., April 12. (Special.) The

Although Mr. Wyatt was cabled to Eastern
Oregon and could not attend the conven
tion, his friends selected a delegation and
were permitted to name It without oppo
sition, the convention ratifying the names
selected.

lected by districting the convention, a
method not usually adopted in Linn Coun
ty, but Is a solid Hermann delegation.

after heated discussion. -
PLATFORM INDORSES THE FAIR
Umatilla Democrats Condemn Par
simony of a Republican Congress.
PENDLETON, Or., April-12. (SpeciaL)
Umatilla County Democrats met In
convention today with 219 delegates pres
ent. They immediately passed resolutions
of respect for the late Colonel Ed Boyd,
for many years a leader of the Democratic
party In this county. Resolutions were
also passed commending District Attorney
T. G. Halley for his stand against gam
bling. Among the features of the platform
adopted was the hearty Indorsement of
tho Lewis and Clark Exposition. The
parsimony of the Republican Congress for
appropriating so small an amount for
such an Important event Is condemned.
County Judge G. A. Hartman was nomi
nated for re-election by acclamation, and
"W. D. Chamberlain and William Blakley
were unanimously chosen as candidates
for the Legislature. The- county ticket
nominated by the Democrats 4s as fol

FIGHT MORMON CHURCH.
SI Donnelly Believes That Is, the Duty
of Idaho Democrats.
BOISE, Idaho, April 12. (Special.) Hon.
Simon P. Donnelly,"" chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Committee, came in last
night from Spokane. He is looking well,
and predicts a harmonious session of the
committee tomorrow.
"My views on the Mormon question are
so well known that I need say very little
on the subject," said Mr. Donnelly. "I
have no objections to the Mormons on
general principles. They have as -good a
right to their religious oplnloijjas any
other class of men. "What I do" object to
is tho efforts on tho part of tho church
to dominate the politics of this and other
states.
"I am in favor of getting In and putting
the Mormon Church out of the political
business. I say this, not for the Demo
cratic party, not as chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Committee, but as SI Don
nelly. These are my Individual views,
and I am ready to back them up by posi
tive and decided action.
"It is folly for the Mormon leaders and
their sympathizers to say that that
church is not in politics. Everybody
knows better. "We had an evidence of it
last Fall in Idaho. The confession of-Jo-soph
Smith, the president of the Mormon
Church, is quite clear and positive that
the church does dictate the politics of its
members, not only In Idaho, but in other
states where they have any large follow
ing. This Is all wrong."
Issfles Before Idaho Democrats.
BOISE, Idaho, April 12. The Democrat
ic State Committee will meet here tomor
row for tho purpose of calling the two
state conventions for the year. A number
of members are already on the ground,
including Chairman- S. F. Donnelly. There
will be a lively contest for the two conven
tions. Opinion tonight seems to be that the
early convention will "be held In Lewiston
and the nominating convention In Boise.
Members of the committee seem to be
agreed that no resolutions shall be adopt
ed at this meeting on the question of the
Presidential nomination. There are some
members for Hearst and some for Parker,
while many are noncommittal. There will
probably be a discussion of the Mormon
Issue.
Not Over Congressmen.
ONTARIO, Or., April 11. (To the Edi
tor.) I desire In as few words as possi
ble to correct the report of the proceed
ings of our County Convention as pub
lished in The Oregonlan of the 8th In
stant. Concerning the following clause of that
report, to-wlt: "The election of dele
gates was very stormy, but the "William
son men won," I wish to say that tho
strife between the two factions here was
not on Congressmen at all, but pertained
wholly to local matters. As a matter
of fact the defeated candidates were
"Williamson men, and so declared them
selves in the convention, and then de
manded that their .opponents should also
make known whom they would support
for Congress. C. E. BELDING,

MR. PILES INSISTS
King County Delegation Must
Be Undivided.
WILSON PLAN TURNED DOWN
Banker Furth Promises the ex-United
States Senator His Support if
He Win' Go Into the Fight
on His Own Behalf.
SEATTLE, "Wash., April 12. (Special.)
S. H. Piles will not agree to any propo
sition looking toward the division of the
King County legislative delegation nor
the delegation that will be sent from this
county to the Republican State Conven
tion.. A definite statement to hls effect
has been made by Mr. Piles and his man
agers to Senator "Wilson.
Tho refusal of the Piles management
to agree upon a divided delegation or to
give absolute assurances of friendship
to "Wilson Has resulted in overtures to
"Wilson and Jacob Furth, looking toward
'a combination of interests in King County
to defeat Piles.
An afternoon ' japer today printed a
story to the effect that Furth would he
sprung tomorrow in Senator "Wilson's pa
per, the Post-Intelligencer, as a Senator
ial candidate and would be given "Wilson's
support. The story Is unfounded.
"Wilson has not agreed to support Furth
and he will not agree to get out of the
Senatorial race in the Interests of any one.
Future developments might alter his de
termination, but "Wilson is an Insistent
candidate ad will make nls own fight.
Furth Not a Candidate.
The closest friends Furth has declare he
Is not a candidate for Senator, and he
himself says that he Is for "Wilson. Un
less Furth could show beyond any doubt
that he could win he would not go into
the fight and there is no possibility of
such a showing at present.
Furth and "Wilson, according to a well
founded story, were In conference last
night when the proposal was mado that
the two join In an effort to defeat an In
dorsement of Piles In the King County
Convention. It was proposed to "Wilson
that if he would use the influence of his
paper and make an energetic fight he
would have the assistance of Furth and
his friends, Furth doing anything possible
to make Wilson's light successful.
The scheme outlined to "Wilson was that
a fight should be made in the coming Re
publican Convention to prevent a specific.
Indorsement of Piles. It was told him
that he could secure an Instruction from
tfao convention to the legislative delega
tion In favor of supporting a King County
candidate, and It was pledged in the event
Wilson would agree to tho plan that
Furth and his friends should "begin work
immediately to carry out the schome.
Wilson Is for a King Senator
"Wilson did not agree at that time to
take up an active anti-Piles fight, and
today he did not meet somo of the men
close to Furth who were seeking a fa
vorable reply to the scheme.
At all times "Wilson has taken the posi
tion that the King County Convention
should instruct for a King County Sen
atorial candidate, not tying up the King
County legislative delegation to one man.
Earlier in the fight Piles was said to be
favorable to the scheme, but as late as
today he and his managers were planning
for a specific Indorsement of Piles In the
platform to be adopted In the convention.
Piles and his managers have been con
sidering the "Wilson overtures for several
days, but they have finally decided that
they will demand of the King County
Convention Piles unequivocal Indorse
ment. This fact was communicated yes
terday to "Wilson, together with the opin
ion of the Piles management that If Piles
could not win no one could be successful.
It was this fact that led to the offer of
Furth's assistance to make "Wilson a
winner In the coming county convention.
The most lnslslent men In the movement'
to link Furth and "Wilson in a fight before
the King County convention are the hold
ovor Senators from King County who have
been friendly to "Wilson. They have de
clared their opposition to ttae Piles pro
gramme and urged Wilson to take up the
fight which is to some extent their own
fight.

WANTS TO BE HANGED.
Murderer Levy's Protest Against
Commutation of Sentence.
BOISE. Idaho, April 12. (Special.)
George Levy, the condemned murderer,
whose sentence to be hanged next Friday
was last evening commuted to life im
prisonment by tho State Pardon Board,
wa3 called Into tho "Warden's office this
morning, about S:30 o'clock, and notified
of the action of the board.
"I 'don't want my sentence commuted,"
he exclaimed. "I refuse to accept it."
As soon as he was called to the "War
den's offlce. Levy knew that the board
had rendered some kind of a decision, and
his manner was quite nervous as he en
tered the office.
As soon as he had heard the words that
consigned him to a prison cell for the re
mainder of his life, he broke out In a
disjointed avowal that he wanted the "War
den to nang him. The old argument that
If he was guilty, he should be hanged,
and if innocent, should be permitted to
go free, was used again, and he declared
that he would not accept the commuta
tion offered him by the board. He talked
In an indirect way of suicide, although
he made no direct, threats of taking his
life. Levy was in a better frame of mind
when he left the "Warden's office than
when he was first told of the commuta
tion, but, as a matter of precaution, it
was deemed best to keep him locked in
his cell for a few days, until he should
be in better mental condition.
CHILD'S CHOICE IS DECISIVE.
Supreme Court Gives the Willets
Charge of Mildred Strong.
OLYMPIA, "Wash., April 12. (Special.)
An appeal which presented practically
no legal Issues was decided by the Su
preme Court today in the case of L. "Wll
let, appellant, vs. Mrs'. Felix Martin,
respondent. The appeal was from an
order of the Superior Court of Spokane
County refusing to appoint "Wlllet guard
Ian of Mildred Strong, a minor, and ap
pointing Mrs. Martin as such.
The child Is possessed of no estate, but
had been left In the custody of the "Willets
for over three years, and they became
much attached to her. In 1202 the mother
died at the home of Mrs. Martin, her sis
ter. In Idaho. Mrs. Martin went to Spo
kane and petitioned to be appointed
guardian of Mildred. Mr. "Wlllet presents
a petition for his own appointment.
Both parties to the suit showed that
they were of good moral character and
able properly to care for the ward. Mil
dred desired to be left with the "Willets,
and the Supreme Court decided that un
der all the circumstances It would be In
conformity with justice and her best In
terests to have "Wlllet appointed guardian,
and therefore so directed.

Hood River Farmers Take About All
In the Treasury at the
Old Rate.
SALEM, Or., April 12. (Special.) The
State Land Board today approved appli
cations for loans from the school fund
to the amount of nearly 550.000. The
applications -now on hand and the amount
that must be refunded to purchasers of
school land whose title has failed, will
exhaust the surplus and for this reason
the board today made an order that the
rate of interest on school bonds be raised
from 5 to 6 per cent. This will not ap
ply to bonds that have already been
offered to the board.
It was also ordered that hereafter
school districts desiring to borrow
money need not first make a tender uf
their bonds to the State Land Board.
Two years ago there was a surplus of
about 5650.000 lying idle In the school
fund. About "5250,000 has been lent on
school district bonds and as much more
on real estate mortgages. The problem
of how to dispose of the Idle money has
been solved. The Land Board recently
visited the Hood River Irrigation district
and upon investigation decided to make
a number of loans to farmers there who
are Interested in the co-operative canal
project.
BIG GAMBLE OF THE INDIANS.
Representatives of Six Tribes Play
for a Week Near Tacoma. .
TACOMA, "Wash., April 12. After a
week's exciting sport the first big gamble
that the Indian tribes In this locality have
had for years came to a close yesterday.
The tribes participating were the Nlsqual
lys, Puyallups, the Mud Bays, the

Indians from Hood's Canal.
In winning the game the Nlsquallys have

buck who came in from the camp, says
that many of the losers had scarcely
enough blankets left to keep them warm.
They wagered ponies, dogs, blankets,
Wearing apparel, coon-sklns, firearms and
gewgaws of all sorts. The gambling was
In a large shack on the Nlsqually River,
about four miles above the Northern Pa
cific bridge on the Ofympla branch.
The disc was used in gambling. Tho
manipulator fumbles the disc through two
small piles of cedar bark ground fine. The
Indians opposite guess which side of the
hole holds the black. If correct, It counts
a point for his side. They played for 500
points.

The Red Cross of Japan.
PROFIT BY AMERICAN LESSON.
WOiIA$ is forever a chief and
inseparable factor in the war
fare of nations. The Red
Cross knows no friend, nor foe,
nor does it recognize the word enemy.
In Japan the Red Cross Society is under
the patronage of the Empress of Japan.
During Japan's war with China some
thing lite ten thousand women volun
teered to go out as nurses to the front,
and this number has been increased for
service in the present campaign. There
is no more efficient hospital service in
the world than the Japanese, for they
have profited by the knowledge of
American nnrses.
Her rare appearance on the battle
field or in the hospitals nursing, cheer
ing and. comforting the wounded or
dying is a very small part of what
woman does to promote a country's
fighting capacity. She does more than
roll bandages, scrape lint and send out
dainty boxes of provisions for husbands,
brothers and sweethearts in the field.
The wives and mothers, and the sis
ters and. sweethearts that will become
wives and mothers contribute some
thing more in addition to this cheering
comfort and inspiration.
Every male fighter, however brawny
and heroic was born of woman; was
9nce a feeble infant, drawing along
with his very breath of life from his
mother's own physical resources the
hardihood, mental stamina and high
rourage that becomes a nation's final
md impregnable defense in the last
oread arbitrament of war.
Shall we say that women contribute
the bandages and provisions? No: They
Mntribute the fighters !
"What sort of men will the women
of this present day contribute to the
nation and the world? What sort of
help and encouragement and inspira
tion can a woman be who is enfeebled,
and broken down by the diseases and
weaknesses peculiar to her sex? Can
such a woman maintain the position that
belongs to her on the battlefield of
everyday exertion and struggle? Can
she hope to be a capable mother or
efficient wife?
The dreadful sufferings which women
endure solely because of the delicate,
special organization which makes them
wives and mothers, leads a thoughtful
person to consider whether it is most
woefully deplorable on their own sad
account or for the sake of the other
lives that are sooner or later dependent
on their own.
It is certain that the great work
which has been done toward restoring the
physical capacity of women in the last
hrrty-eight years, by Dr. R. V. Pierce,
quite young. The famljy has resided In
Baker City for the past 20 years. Dr.
Snow has been County Coroner and Coun
ty Physician over since he came to Baker
City.

PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.
Mrs. Mary J. Beard (Trained Nurse,
Washington Hospital), of 1706 9th St,
N. W., Washington, D. C, writes: "I
am satisfied that thousands of women
suffer with the troubles peculiar to our
sex because they do not realue how
much they really need treatmeut anl
feel a natural delicacy in consulting a
physician.
"I felt badly for four years, had ter
rible pain3 at times and was often unable
to be about attending to my duties ;
appetite was poor and sleep fitful. Tried
to cure myself in various ways but with
out success, but finally my attentat!
was called to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription and I decided to try it. Am
certainly glad that I did for I began to
improve with the first bottle and gradu
ally became better until I was entirely
cured of the old trouble. Am well and
can enjoy life once more."
