They were made of a peculiarly strong thread and dyed a never-fading, lustrous black. They did not lose their shape, as stockings ordinarily do. They fitted as perfectly after many launder ings as at the beginning. They were absolutely fast color. So satisfactory were they that after some investigation the American! e a r n e d the make of these stockings, and as a result they have been registered in America as the "Wear well brand," and have for a long time been one of the specialties of Lipman-Wolf e 's Hosiery De partment. Many Portland women have tried them, gen erally because of some one's personal recom mendation. Hardly any one will wear anything else, once they are known.

Leniency was exercised by the Judge Upon the statement of Assistant Dis trict Attorney Cook that Brown had never protited through the crooked financial methods of the bank, was the least culpable of the bank officials and is in a position to assist the depositors to a material extent.

"The latter part of my life has been Klven to the California Safe Deposit & Trust Company. When I became man ager of the Institution, about 10 years ago. 1 found approximately eight tenths of Its capital Invested in or loaned to the interests of the Tread wells. i did for the bank what I never would have done for myself, and what ever I did that was culpable w-as done with the sole object of aiding the bank and protecting its directors and depos itor. By no act that I committed did I ever profit a single penny, nor did I ever divert to myself a single dollar that I procured culpably for the benefit of the bank. I believe there are many ways In which 1 can yet aid the de positors and creditors of the California Safe Deposit & Trust Company. I could be of no service to them harassed by indictments and being subject to nu merous trials, and I finally concluded that I would accept a punishment worse than death. confinement In state's prison, that I might be able to tell the story of the institution and render my aid to those who are inter ested In It. When I have rendered my service to the receiver. I win RO to my punishment and try to live through it." Steamer Burns on High Sea. OUATAQITU fcl-uadnr. April T.

The funeral service of the Church of England was solemnized in Westminster Abbey at noon today over the body of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannermann, late Premier of Great Britain, in the presence of a large gathering, representing the polit ical life of England. After the service & short procession moved from the Ab bey to Euston Station, where a special train took the coffin, some of Sir Hen ry's relatives snd a few of his closest friends to Scotland. It was a typical gloomy London day, and a dismal rain was falling when the cortege made its way through the streets. The Abbey and the railroad station each had its crowd of spectators, who found shelter from the weather under a sea of um brellas. The last time a body of a Premier of England was taken to Westminster Ab bey was in 189ft, when Gladstone was buried there. The ceremony of today held much lees of display than .was seen when Mr. Gladstone was laid to rest, but the grandeur of the Abbey and the character of those who assem bled today for the last honors to Sir Henry Campbell-Bannermann formed a noteworthy historical scene. Scores of the former Premier's polit ical associates were present, but his two predecessors in office. Mr. Balfour and Lord Rosebery, were unable to at tend. The hymns sung during the service were "Brief Life Is Here Our Portion," while the coffin was being carried into the Abbey "I Heard a Voice" and "Oh, Our Help in Ages Past." The dead march from "Saul" was played while the procession was leav ing the Abbey. ART COLLECTORS DUPED Well-Known Dealer Said to Have f Practiced Extensive frauds. NEW YORK, April 27.

Several collectors who now be lieve they have been Imposed upon have put the matter in the hands of lawyers. TWELVE PEOPLE DROWNED Showboat Capsizes on Marion River in Arkansas. HELENA, Ark..
