Wandering Through Empire Has De
moralized . His Followers and
Caused Disorder China's
Design to Extend Power.
PEKIX. Sept. 28. Dalai Lama of Ti
bet, accompanied by a retinue of 80 at
tendants, arrived thin afternoon at Ting:
Chow, a city In ChH4 Province, about
60 miles southwest of Pao Ting Fu. A
throng; of emissaries met him at Pao
Ting fu and he was received in a royal
manner by a large number of Imperial
as well as Pekln officials who Jour
neyed out from the capital for that pur
pose. He wa escorted to the Yellow Temp
le, where iie has made his headquarters.
His route of march to this building;, a
distance of four miles, was lined by
crowds of Chinese who had gathered to
honor him. The roadway had been cov
ered with yellow sand, as is dono when
the Emperor travels abroad yellow. is
the imperial color In China and an
elaborate programme of imperial enter
tainments has been prepared. This in
cludes the ceremony of 'kowtowing'
to the Emperor, but it is believed that
the Dalai Lama will refuse to perform
this function.
Wild. Unkempt, Unholy Crew.
During their years of wandering, the
attendants of the Dalai Lama have be
come thoroughly demoralized. They
have lived at the expense of the local
authorities and their demands have
been limited only by the ability of the
officials to produce what they want.
They are a wild, disorderly, unkempt
crew, giving no appearance of holiness.
The most Important problem brought
out by the absence of the Dalai Lama
from the L'Hassa he left the holy city
because the presence of Colonel Young
husband's force had desecrated it Is
that of the Lamaist succession. Chi
na's effort for four years to get the
Lama whom she wanted haa proved un
availing, and she has now embarked on
a course of religious intrigue with the
Tafhl I.acia, the Grand Lama who rules
at LXssa during the absence of the
Dalai Lama.
China Alms at Mastery.
China's purpose In this is to secure a
foothold for the political mastery of
Tibet and Mongolia, and It is believed
here. In view of the recalcitrant atti
tude maintained by the Dalai Lama,
that China will have the Tafhl Lama
come to Pckin.
The activities already displayed by
the foragers and procurers of the Da
lai Lama forecast a repetition of the
scajidalous proceedings that were wit
nessed at Wutal Shan, where the Dalai
Uma held a court for three months
last Summer. The entire retinue of the
Lama has not yet arrived at Ting Chow.
But still the loi-al authorities have
can fit to place the policing of the city
on a military basis.
Rots Cove, off the Marin County coast.
Lund arrived in this city yesterday, af
ter an experience such as comes to few
men, and he will enjoy a vacation before
strain donning divers dress.
The devil fish had evidently entered the
vessel's hold during the night, and Lund
was at work some time before he became
aware of Its presence. A giant tentacle,
four inches in diameter, first gripped one
leg. Before Lund could realize what had
happened, another encircled his thigh.
The diver began to chop frantically at the
rubber-like bonds, and at the same time
signaled to the barge above that he
wished to ascend. He was unable to free
himself before two more tentacles
squirmed out of the darkness and one
tightened about his neck.
The efforts of the men on the surface
to comply with his signal, threatened to
pull his helmet off. and he was forced to
signal them to desist. With only his left
arm free, he hacked at the tentacles until
they were partially crippled, but he was
being drawn toward the deadly beak,
when he saw the outline of the devil
fish's body. Flunking suddenly toward It,
he drove the knife with all his force Into
the head, repeating the blow until he had
slashed It Into sections. In its death
throes the octopus tightened its tentacles
until the diver was almost crushed in its
embrace. Lund then cut himself free and
was brought to the surface In a fainting
condition.
Another diver brought some of the sev
ered tentacles to the surface, and it is
hoped to raise the body and bring it to
this city for exhibition.

CLAIM IS TURNED DOWN
ARCHITECTS REFUSED $12,500
FOR PRAWIXG PLAN'S.
Ask Commission of 5 Per Cent on
$250,000 Albina School ho use,
Which Is Disallowed by Board.
Claims of Kable ft Kable, the firm of
architects which asked a commission of
$12,500 of the Board of Education for sub
m it tin sr plans for the new Albina High
Schools, were denied at a meeting of the
Board yesterday afternoon. The claims
had been referred to the committee on
judiciary, consisting of J. V. Beach and
H. C. Campbell, and acting upon the rec
ommendations of the committee, the
Board refused to grant the claim.
The building Is to cost $350,000 and the
firm of architects asked for 5 per cent of
that amount as their fee for preparing
the plans. The report of the committee
on Judiciary, which was adopted by the
Board, follows:
The undersigned members of your com
mittee on judiciary, to whom was referred
the communication and claim of Kable
Kable. arising out of the proposals of plans
for the new Hlgrh School, respectfully report
that we have given the matter careful con
sideration and recommend that ald claim
of Kable A Kable be not allowed for the
following reasons, among others:
First Because the jury selected by the
Board of Education did not agree upon any
recommendation, the Jury having consisted
of W. Marbury Somervell and Frank RIg1r.
t'lty Superintendent of Schools, and the
recommendation of Mr. Somervell was not
agreed to by Mr. Rlgler.
Second The word "accept." as used in the
published programme does not necessarily
mean "adopt." as assumed by the claimants,
but would undoubtedly be construed in 'this
Instance as synonymous of the word "re
ceive." Third The power to build schoolhouses
and determine the slxe and arrangement of
the same Is a power vested exclusively In
the directors by the laws of the State of
Oregon, and requires the exercise of judg
ment and discretion. This power, in our
opinion, could not -be delegated and If the
Board of Directors had intended or desired
ever so much to confer the power on some
other person or persons It would have been
unable to do so.

ARGUE LUMBER RATE CA"SE
Circuit Court Hears Appeal About
Willamette Valley Kate.
SAX FRANCISCO. Sept. 28 In the
Federal Circuit Court today Assistant
United States Attorney Luther Walter,
representing the Interstate Commerce
Commission, argued upon the demurrer
in the case of the Commission against the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
based on the increase made by the com
pany In the rates on rough lumber from
Willamette River points' to San Fran
cisco. The railroad raised the rates
from J3.10 to $5 per 1000 feet and the
united lumbermen of the Northwest pro
tested to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which fixed the rate at K.40. The
action in the Federal Court followed In
the form of an injunction.
The Federal attorneys argued that the
Circuit Court did not have jurisdiction in
this matter, which provoked the railroad
attorneys to declare to Justices Morrow.
Gilbert and Ross, who occupied the
bench, that unless the courts could in
tervene between the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the transportation com
panies, the Commission would have tyr
annous power. The case will be re
sumed tomorrow.

Wealthy Hongkong Business Man Is
Taken to San Francisco Hospital
Under Bond for Treatment,
Pending Final Decision.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28. The special
board of inquiry appointed to investigate
the case of Robert Bosman, the wealthy
business man of Hongkong, who arrived
here on the liner Korea yesterday accom
panied by two wives, this afternoon deter
mined to shift the responsibility of saying
whether or not the party shall be ad
mitted to this country to the immigration'
department at Washington. As Bosman
has come to this country seeking medical
attention, he will .be allowed under bond
to come ashore and be taken pending ad
vices from Washington to the German
Hospital in this city accompanied by one
servant; but the two wives and three
children will not be allowed ashore at all.
Bosman Is in urgent need of skillful medi
cal attention and will take advantage of
the opportunity given him to undergo
treatment while awaiting word of the ac
tion taken in his case at Washington.
The decision of the immigration authori
ties to refer the Bosman matter to Wash
ington was reached only after a careful
examlnatlpn of precedents and rulings In
similar cases of which there are so few on
record that it Is practically the first time
that the particular question had to be an
swered. Bosman has been openly living with his
two wives for years, and says that this
Is the first time that his actions have ever
been called into question. He is a man
of great wealth and very prominent in
his own city, where he ts the owner of a
great quantity of valuable land. He had
planned to make a rather extensive tour
of this country after his health had been
restored by the skill of American physi
cians, and it Is believed that if he is de
nied entrance to the country even as a
tourist on the ground of his belief and
practice of polygamy, mat he will appeal
the case to the highest authority possible
before accepting a sentence of deporta
tion.

CROTON OIL FOR STUDENTS
Vengeful Chinese Cook Makes 200
Stanford Students Suffer.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Ca!.. Sept.
38. Suffering from some Irritant poison
said to have been placed in the food at
the University Inn by a revengeful dis
charged Chinese cook, about 200 Stan
ford students are today recovering from
a night of agony caused by this un
known substance placed in the flour.
Several students were temporarily con
fined to the hospital and many others
became too wea k to be able to leave
their rooms in the dormitory this morn
ing. Only the prompt aid rendered by tne
campus physicians, when those who had
eaten at the Inn were seized with severe
cramps about midnight, is believed to
have prevented more serious illness. The
managers of the inn are now having the
food analyzed to determine what was
used to carry out the celestial's revenge.
Symptoms are those of croton oil.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Gathering to Be Marked by Large
Attendance of Workers and Ab

I
ALBUQUERQUE, X. M., Sept. 28. Al
though the National Irrigation Congress
does not convene until 10 o'clock tomor
row morning, a lively contest has already
been started by Pueblo and Spokane for
next year's congress. Pueblo Is represent
ed by more than 100 delegates and a brass
band and the Washington city by a train
load of delegates from the Northwest
state, which arrived tonight. Salt Lake
City Is also in the race and the Utah del
egates and a band arrived tonight on a
special train.
The attendance of delegates at the open
ing session will be fully 1500, with the
prospect that that number will have In
creased greatly by Wednesday. This ses
sion will be notable for the number of
actual workers in the field who are pres
ent to take part in the proceedings. There
is almost an equally noticeable absence
of men prominent in political life who
have been present at former sessions.
Tomorrow's afternoon session will be
devoted to introductory business, the
opening address by President Frank C.
Goudy, of Denver; addresses by L.-Bradford
Prince, of New Mexico, and W. H.
Smith, of Utah, andean address by Gen
eral Franklin Bell, U. S. A., who is at
tending the congress as a representative
of the War Department. The attendance
of foreign delegates la 'a notable feature
of the congress.

FATHER SHERMAN SPEAKS
Noted Priest Delivering Course of
Lectures on Catholic Faith.
St. Patrick's Church was crowded last
night when Rev. Father Thomas Sher
man. S. J., delivered the second of a
series of lectures on the Roman Catholic
faith. Father Sherman spoke most con
vincingly upon the subject "The Philoso
phy of Religion." During the evening
he takes It upon himself to answer any
and all questions that may be asked
relative to the Catholic religion.
During the course of his remarks
Father Sherman defended the dogma of
the Immortality of the soul. Because the
soul is a spirit. Father Sherman argued,
that It must of necessity be immortal.
When the body Is dead the spirit still
lives.
Several ' other , proofs of immortality
were dwelt upon by the lecturer, such as
the innate and universal desire of happi
ness found in the human race. A desire
which never finds or can find its fulfill
ment here, because the more we possess
of the good things on earth the more we
are filled with fear and dread with the
certainty that some day we must give
them all up and leave everything behind
us, nay that our own being must be
divided by death. God promises another
life to us when he puts In our breasts
the desire to be happy and then makes
it impossible for us to fulfill that desire
here on earth.
On the conclusion of Father Sherman's
sermon, Father Devlin addressed the
meeting. These lectures will continue
all week.
