SPRIGHTLY AT 90 YEARS Severe Criticism of Commitment as One "Dangerous to Be at Large" Son in Douglas Disobeys Court Order. SALEM. Or., Sept. 7. (SpecIal-)-Re-cent discussion of the Ineffectiveness of the Jaw which required relatives to pay the cost of maintaining patients at the State Insane Asylum, if able to do so. has brought out the fact that the mother of United States Senator Hansbrough.' of North Dakota, is an inmate of the Oregon Insane asylum, and Is thus far a public charge, though she shows no signs of insanity other than the failure of mem ory of old age. Bowed by the weight of 90 years, she spends her days rocking In a chair and conversing with such companions as a public insane asylum affords. Though the work of nearly a century has left her blind It has not entirely destroyed that physical strength and activity which made her long life useful to her family and friends. She is still sprightly, lake pride in keeping herself neat and tidy and is of much less trouble to the at tendants than most women would he though 26 years younger. The remarkable good physical and men tal condition of Mrs. Hansbrough has caused severe criticism of ber commit ment to the asylum as one "dangerous to be at large." That she would be dan gorous to be at large is Impossible, for she needs no attention except that needed by all persons of her age. - Mrs. Hansbrough was sent to the asy lum from Douglas County, nearly a year ago and at that- time the county court ordered that her son, J. M. Hansbrough. ex-Reproeentative from that county, pay the state 119 a month for her support. Thus far no payment has been made.

GOVERNOR MEAD HAS DECLINED TO INTERFERE. Italian 3Iurderer, Says Washington's Executive, Has Had a Fair Trial. OL.YMPIA. Wash., Sept 7. (Special.) Governor Mead this afternoon announced that he would not Interfere to prevent the execution of Frank Pasquale. at the State Penitentiary, on September 15. in the commutation of whose sentence the Italian Ambassador at Washington has been actively interested. Pasqualo was convicted of the murder of Charles S. Gray, a Seattle Insurance agent. In Tacoma, May 20, 1SOL Edmondo Mayor des Planches, the Italian Ambas sador, appealed to the Governor, once through the State Department at Wash ington, and once direct, to exorcise clem ency, on the ground that Pasquale was not entirely mentally responsible. Gov ernor Mead, In announcing his decision, gave out the following statement: The application for commutation Is denied for the reason that granting It would consti tute an invasion of the province of the courts. The defendant certainly was given a fsjr and Impartial trial. He was represented there by- nble counsel, who ured diligent and intelligent efforts on his behalf. From the record It appears that upward of- two weeks' time wa consumed in tho selection of the Jury and the trial of the case. The state placed on the stand 14 witnesses and the defendant had the benefit of the testimony of 22. Among the wlU nesses were eminent alienist who testified concerning the mental condition of the de fendant. The conrt gave a clear and exhaustive ex position of the law concerning criminal homi cide. Entertaining these views of the trial, the executive's interference with the execu tion of judgment would be In effect & con demnation el the law under which Pasquale was tried and convicted.

EMPLOYES ASKED OPINION Compelled to Sign Agreement Not to Join or Belong to the National Association of Street Rail way Employes. SALEM. Or.. Sept ".-(Special.) Attorney-General Crawford has held that the act of ISO, making it unlawful for any person to prevent another from being a member of a labor organization. Is not effective to such an extent as to apply to the course the Portland Consolidated Railway Company has pursued In dealing with' Its employes. The Portland Con solidated requlries applicants for employ ment to sign an agreement not to Join the union. Mr. Crawford first expresses the opin ion that this is not a violation of the law, and then says that If this is a violation of the law, then the law Is unconstitu tional. In either event the Portland Con solidated is not liable to punishment The opinion to this effect was rendered today In answer to a request from Labor Commissioner O. P. Hoff, who wanted Information upon the rights of employes of the Portland Consolidated Railway Company. The decision is based upon the construction of similar laws by the Supreme Courts of other states. The matter was called to the atten tion of Labor Commissioner Hoff by em ployes of the Portland Consolidated, with the request that it be referred to the Attorney-General. It Is understood that the employes had little hope of an opin ion in their favor, for they had already been advised by Portland attorneys whom they had consulted that the court deci sions In other states are against them. The terms of the law and the reasons why It Is unconstitutional are shown by the Attorney-General's letter addressed to Commissioner Hoff. After citing au thorities, the Attorney-General concludes, referring to House Bill IIS. laws of,lS03, entitled. "An act to protect employes and guarantee their rights to belong to labor organizations," as follows: . From the limited time I have bad to ex amine this matter I have been unable to find authority holding such a law constitu tional and the authorities I have examined are unanimous In holding such law contra venes the constitutions both of the state and the Federal Governments. Therefore I am of opinion that the courts will hold the act under consideration Is not violated by re quiring an applicant to sign the application agreeing not to Join or belong to any lawful organisation during the term of their em ployment or if held to violate (he statute that the statute Is unconstitutional.

MELLIN'S TOOD COn BOSTON, MASS. Important Ta Cigar Smokers. (From The Houston Fott Jfqrch 13. 1905.) A KICK FROM CUBA Protest From Planters Against Tariff Free American Vuelta Tobacco. Houston Post Bureac, 926-7 Colorado Bulldin?. 1 Washington. March 20. A delegation of Cuban Planters waited on th president today to secure his aid toward a pro hibitive duty on Cuban Vuelta sprouts, now im ported' into the United States and raised in Texas. Into a tariff tobacco leaf. This delegation represents a newly formed organization, calling Itself the Tobacco Growers Association, with headquarters at Havana. The Cubans pointed out the Inroads that American Vuelta tobacco is already making in their exports, especially with the duty azainst them. They showed how a certain large New York olgur Arm. the larcest independent factory in the country, is steadily importinjr vuelta sprouts in place of seeds, transplanting these to a certain part of Texas, where soil and climate a-e peculiarity similar to that of the Vualta Abaio district of Cuba. Hun dreds of acres have been planted in Texas, is was said, and from these tbero have been obtained thousands of pounds of tobacco, said to bo identical in every way with the native Cuban leaf. The home-grown product beintr tariff free, is made into a 5-cent cigar, while Cubes high tariff tobacco could not be made into a cigar to sell at 5 cents. The Cubans claim that such competition is ruinous and unfair and in violation of reciprocity treaties. Jealous rivals could not have given astronger endorsement of American' Vuelta tobacco, the filler now used exclusively in the Tom Keene cigar. The fact that Bondy & Lederer are still selling this brand at 5c naturally has frightened the plant ers and users of Cuban vuelta tobacco, on which there is a very heavy tariff. The Tom Keene has that same aromatic vuelta taste characteristic of the finest cigars, and never found in ordinary seed growth tobaccos. Try one, if you are a judge of cigars, and then yon will know.
