One hundred dollars of this sum she paid

transfer the balance in the form of a note
tonight.
Detective Mackay. accompanied by sev
eral members of the police force, visited
the Otis home on ths South Side at the
appointed hour. The police officers hid
in the darkness of the front entrance
way while tiie detective rang the bell.
Miss Otis admitted Mackay to the hall
and while the door still remained open

Miss Otis was taken to Central head
quarters where she was searched and a
configurable sum of money found on her
person.
"I drew that from the bank to pay
the man's exenses." she said, pointing
to M ickay. Then she confessed to the
plot and expressed her chagrin that it had
failed. The voman will be examined re
garding her sanity tomorrow.

President Dwells on Purpose of
Movement to Better Country r
Life Conditions.
SPRINGFIELD. Mass.. Nov. IS. At
the dedication of the Myrlck building
a letter prepared by President Roose
velt was read. The letter first touched
on the need of self-help and mutual co
operation in state governments and the
farmers for uplifting farm life. The
President said:
"I am striving for the combining- of
self-help with mutual helpfulness. Of
course the prime thing to be done for
the farmer, as for every one else, is to
help him to help himself.
"It would be a very great wrong to
allow our country people, who have
prospered so much, whose welfare has
meant so much for the Nation In the
past, to fall away from their position.
With wise care of our natural resources
our forests will grow better each year,
our rivers more available for naviga
tion, while the soli of our farms will
Improve with wise use instead of de
teriorating. "While as a nation we are growing
wealthier and wealthier, we should see
that the schools and roads in short, all
of what may be called mutual realty
should be improved. Here, as every
where else, our prime object should be
the development of the highest type of
average citizen."
WAR HG1 IS POSSIBLE

NOTE TO POWERS TODAY.
H Mediation Fails. Servia and Mon
tenegro May Attack Great
Dual Empire.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 12. Although
an air of outward calm is maintained at
the Russian Foreign Office, the Balkan
situation has now reached an acute stage,
where everything depends upon the na
ture of the note which is expected from
Vleuna tomorrow and the outcome of the
meditation which Russia. France and
Great Britain have undertaken at Bel
grade, at Austro-Hungary's "request, with
a view to limiting the belligerent activity
of Servia.
IT mediation Is not suceessfull, war Is
recognized as a possibility in authorita
tive circles. The Austro-Hungarlan-Servlan
relations are too strained, it is believed,
to permit present conditions to continue
inde finitely.
The Austrian note will definitely outline
the attitude of that government regarding
discussion of the annexation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina and possible compensa
tion to Servia and Montenegro, and the
nature of the note will determine whether
or not an international congress can be
held.

OP STEALING GIRL
Sixteen-Year-Old Miss Taken

Grande Millionaire.
ON WAY TO LOS ANGELES
Wheat Ring May Face Serious
Charge for Enticing Gertrude
Williams From Her East
ern Oregon Home.
A. B. Connelly, said to be the millionaire
wheat kingLof the Grand Ronde Valley
and prominent La Grande banker,- Is ac
cused by the Portland police of kidnap
ing from his home city Gertrude Wil
liams, a 16-year-old girl. Mr. Connelly
was accosted last night at the Union
Depot by Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, of the
Police Department, and the girl taken
from his custody. The wealthy Eastern
Oregon business man was allowed to pro
ceed on his way to Los Angeles, but the
police say that criminal charges will be
tiled against him.
Mr. Connelly, who Is charged by Mrs.
Baldwin with enticing the girl from her
La Grande home, had made all arrange
ments to take her with him on the trip
to Southern California. The couple was
just about to board a southbound train
when they were stopped by Mrs. Baldwin.
Mr. Conelly. who is 74 years of age
and venerable looking, did not seem
one whit nonplussed at the painful sit
uation he faced as the officer con
fronted him.
"Where are you taking that girl?"
demanded Mrs. Baldwin. You know
that you havn no right to have her in
your company and that you are com
mitting a crime by traveling with her
in this manner. "
"I am not taking her anywhere,"
coolly answered the aged man. "She
is at liberty to go where she pleases.
She does not have to go with me."
Mrs. Baldwin took the girl by the arm
and told her that she was in charge of
the law. Mr. Connelly was allowed to
continue his trip and the girl was taken
to the police station, where she was
quartered for the night in care of
Matron Simmons.
Mrs. Baldwin announced that she would
take Immediate eteps to prosecute Mr.
Connelly, who is said to be one of the
leading business men In La Grande, and
is said to own a large interest In three
of the most important banks in that sec
tion of the state.
The girl is very pretty and her parents
are in modest circumstances. She was
forced to help earn the family living by
working as a waitress. At the time of
her detentloa she was on. her way to
Los Angeles, where, she says, her aged
admirer waa going to provide a home
for her.
Couple Had Been Shadowed.
LA GRANDE. Or.. Nov. 12. (Spe

ing A. B. Connelly and Gertrude Will
iams here for some time. The girl
mvste.riously disappeared. It has- been
ascertained that Connelly lat-ly left
for Portland.
Adela Verne's Playing
Proves Revelation
Piano Recital at Scottish Kite
Cathedral Proves One of
Important Musical Events of
Season. -
' BY WALTER S. M'BRIDE.
0XE3 of the most important musical
events of the season was the recital
given last night In the Scottish Rite Ca
thedral, by Miss Adela Verne, a pianist
of international reputation. Miss Verne's
extraordinary gifts were abundantly re
vealed in her programme of musical
masterpieces including works by Beetho
ven. Chopin, Liszt and Rubenstein. In
all her selections, which would tax the
powers of any most finished virtuoso.
Miss Verne showed a consummate tech
nical mastery as well as a profound ap
preciation of the emotional side of her
art. Her playing is marked by the broad,
heroic style and also poetical to a marked
degree. Her hold upon the sympathies of
her hearers was further heightened by
the graelousness and magnetism of her
personality.
Miss Verne opened her programme with
Beethoven's Thirty-two Variations, a
marvel of musical construction, rendered
in a faultless manner. The second num
ber, a Mendelssohn Scherzo, showed her
ability to interpret the lighter musical
forms with finished art. For her third
number Miss Verne gave "Four Pieces for
Harpsichord": (a) Les Barricades Mys
terieuses, (b) Le Moucheron (Couperin,
MSS-1733); (c) Minuet in F (Handel. 1SS6
1759). (d) Sonata in E Major (Scarlatti,
16S3-1757I.
Aside from their pleasing melodies these
quaint, somewhat studied piano pieces
were interesting as examples of musical
composition In the days of powdered wigs,
stiff brocades and courtly manners.
A number which was rendered with ex
qunile feeling was the Gluck-Sgambati
"Melodie." Perhaps the selection which
appealed most to last night's audience
was the well-loved "Sonata, opus 3a," of
Chopin. Beginning with the grave move
ment, reaching Its climax in the lyric out
burst of the scherzo Miss Verne carried
her hearers along on the waves of ex
quisite harmony. Then followed the mel
ancholy strains of the March Funebre
that magnificent expression in sound of
the universal tragedy. This splendid offer
ing was followed by four tone pictures:
"Au Couvenf (Borodin), "The Wind"
lAlkan). "Spinning Song" (Wagner-Liszt).
Miss Verne's brilliant programme was
concluded with Liszt's B Major Polonaise
In which her amazing technical powers
were seen at their best.

In hie address last night before the
United Kast Side Push Clubs. In the Sar
gent Hotel. Fred V. Holman contended
that the present charter could be revised
where needed and made more serviceable
than the Untried Dea Moines system it is
proposed to adopt. Mr. Holman went
over his objections to the Dea Moines
plan fully and declared it waa simply an
untried fad that might prove unsatisfac
tory to the people, who had made no de
mand for such a plan. He particularly
objected to the recall, which is one of
the main features of the new plan, and
pointed out how it might be abused, and
declared it is contrary to our eystem of
government. At the close of his talk he
answered questions.

STANDS BY THOMAS
Kentucky Klick Says Chair
. man Did Right.
HIS LETTER IS APPROVED
Political Organization Announces
That It Will Resist Any Movement
to Remove Democratic Coun
ty leader From Office.
In defense of Chairman Thomas, of the
Democratic county committee. the. Ken
tucky Kllck last-night Issued a mani
festo declaring: "The Kentucky Klick
heartily approves and commends Chair
man Thomas for the patriotic and moral
stand taken by him and will resist any
movement to depose him as county chair
man." .
The managers of the Kllck met to dis
cuss arrangements for a Democratic
banquet, to be given in the near future,
but drifted off to Thomas" soul-stirring
letter, which flayed nonpartisans. The
Kllck declares that there Is nothing but
sacrifice of principle In nonpartisanshlp.
the object of nonpartisanshlp Is the at
tainment of office." The manifesto Is as
follows: , , ,
"As1 an organization, the Kllck Is non
partisan and for that reason the board
voted to more clearly define Its position.
Kllrkers are men of strong convictions,
holding In spirit and in fact to established
principles. There is nothing but sacri
fice of principle In nonpartisanshlp and
there is no such thing aa a nonpartisan
individual. The object of nonpartisan
shlp Is merely the attainment of office.
"As individuals, the Klickers differ
upon the two (treat foundation ideas of
this Government as exemplified by Jef
ferson and Hamilton. While the mem
bers hold such widely different views,
within the Kllck. they work In perfect
harmony, each respecting and honoring
the other for his beliefs. The members
abhor anv sham intended to advance an
individual at the expense of party prin
ciple, and they dislike individuals who
would abandon their professed party
principles for the sake of winning a
legislative seat. Alleged Republicans
are now practicing that non-partisanship
dodge that has brought democracy
into disrepute and practically destroyed
the Democratic party in this state.
-The Kentucky Klick heartily ap
proves and commends Chairman
Thomas for the patriotic and moral
stand taken bv him to reinstate in the
respect and affections of the people the
principles of Democracy advocated by
Jefferson and Jackson and exemplified
bv Tilden and Bryan. And the Kllck
assures Chairman Thomas of its hearty
support and will resent any movement
calculated to depose him as county
chairman. The children are not with
out powers of observation and deceit
cannot be practiced at the registration
bureau without injurious effect upon
the plastic minds of the rising genera
tion. 'Therefore the Kentucky Klick com
mands that the leaders of all parties
advocate none but the highest ideals, to
the end that no man need be ashamed
t register at the County Clerk's office
his actual political convictions."

RATIONAL CURE FOR ECZEMA
No More Doslnic the Stomach Care the
Skin Through the Skin.
When you have a scratch on your
hand you wash it out and cleanse it and
then the skin cures itself. You do not
take blood medicine to cure a festered
WThe "best s'kln specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cure the
skin is through the skin.
The fact that eczema is a skin dis
ease and not a blood disease Is evident
from statistics which show that nearly
all eczema sufferers are perfectly
healthy In all other ways except as to
their skin. If the eczema patients
were really suffering from an Inward
maladv. the entire body and not only
the skin would be diseased.
You can prove immediately the reller
of a true skin cure by using oil r
wlntergreen as compounded In D. D. D,
Prescription.
This liquid attacks the disease germs,
numbing them while building up ths
healthy tissue of tlie skin. We hava
now handled this meritorious and thor
oughly scientific remedy for so lone
and have seen its reliable result sc
ms.nv times that we freely express our
confidence.

Anti-Saloonists Will Ignore

GREATEST FOE IN FIGHT
Defeat of League Attributed to Par
ty's Trickery Liquor Interests
Use Political Organization
to Split Opponents.
DES MOINES. Ia.. Nov. 13. At a
district session of the American anti
Saloon T.eague yesterday it was folded
to adopt a policy ignoring the Prohi
bition party entirely. Trickery on the
part of the Prohibition party during
the recent campaign in Nebraska was
charged. It was also alleged that de
feat for the league in every state
where it had been put on the ticket
was due to trickery.
State superintendents declared that
the Prohibition party was their great
est foe in their fight to secure the elec
tion of men favorable to abstinence
legislation. The liquor interests took
advantage of this fact, said the league
officials, and took every means to fur
ther split the aLstinence ranks.
National Superintendent P. A. Baker
made an address in which he pointed
out the disadvantages of any co-operation
with the Prohibitionists. Mr.
Baker also publicly dencunced the
statement issued by the whisky trust
that he had received 11000 from John
D. Rockfeller for the anti-Saloon
League.
