folded. For hours the buggy traveled, the

would again receive the same punishment.

Irish Leader Resents Attack
on Irish-Americans.
DYNAMITER AND MURDERER
Coming Visit of Ford and Condon to
England Causes TTnlonlst to Prod
Nationalist, and Parlia
ment Enjoys Scene.
LONDON, Nov. 16. The approaching
visit to this country of Patrick Ford,
editor of the Irish World of New York,
and CMeagher Condon was the oc
casion for an extraordinary attack in
the House of Commons today. James
Craig:. Unionist member from the east
ern district of Down, opened the fight
by asking Premier Asquith If he were
aware that Mr. Ford, who had been
declared to be known as an advocate
of the use of dynamite, and Mr. Condon,
who had been sentenced to death for
the murder of an English policeman,
intended visiting- the country. Mr.
Craig asked also whether their licenses
permitted them to do so and If not,
what action the executive proposed to
take.
Earl Wynterton, Conservative, fol
lowed this up with a reference to the
finding of the Parrell commission by
asking whether "any steps had been
taken to prevent these well-known agi
tators from coming to this country."
Home Secretary Gladstone answered
Mr. Wynterton in these words:
"I am not aware of the Intentions of
these persons. Neither of them is the
holder of a license."
John Redmond Immediately jumped
to "his feet and hotly appealed to the
Speaker. One of the persons mentioned,
he informed the Speaker, was an of
ficial of the American Government and
it was incredible that such epithets
were permitted to be applied to a high
official who has been In the service
of the United States for 20 years. The
Speaker agreed that, if the statements
in question were not true, they ought
not to appear. Mr. Craig offered to
send Mr. Redmond proof of the truth
of the facts stated In his question.
Mr. Gladstone, recognizing the In
sufficiency of his first reply, supple
mented ic with the following state
ment: "Mr. Ford, so far as I know, has not
been convicted of any criminal offense
In this country; as regards Mr. Condon,
a royal pardon under the great seal
was given him."
SEND HINDUS TO HONDURAS
Canada Makes Arrangements to
Move Brltisb Columbia Colony.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Nov. 16. (Spe
cial.) J. B. Harkin, private secretary of
the Minister of Interior, who was aent
to British Honduras to arrange for the
removal to that country of 2000 Hindus,
most of whom are now out of employ
ment in British Columbia, has returned
to Ottawa and all that now remains to
be settled Is the question of transporta-
tlon. ,
The Hindus will have to be taken
across the continent, so as to embark at
Halifax, and this will necessarily in
volve a considerable outlay. It is ex
pected, however, that Canada will not
have to carry this load alone. The
Hindu delegates who were taken to Hon
duras seemed satisfied and the wages
which were offered them of tl2 a month,
although not excessive, are still much
larger than the 10 cents a day they would
receive at home. It is expected that ar
rangements for transportation of 1000 of
the British colony of Hindus to Hondu
ras, who have been promised employ
ment if they are sent there, will shortly
be made. The authorities are anxious
to have matters cleared up by the mid
dle of next month.
CHAMBERLAIN GOING EAST
WILL ATTEND MEETING OF GOV
ERNORS AT -WASHINGTON.
Denies Report His Mission Is to Ask
Federal Government to Keep
Hands Off Senatorial Fight.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 16. (Special.) "I
am going to Washington about the first
of December, but not for the purpose of
asking the National administration to
keep out of the Senatorial fight in Ore
gon," said Governor Chamberlain today
when Inquiry was made as to the truth
of the report that he had such a mis
sion in view. The report had gained
circulation some time ago that after
the Federal election, if Taft should
win. the Influence of the administration
would be brought to bear In Oregon to
prevent the election of a Democrat to
the Senate from this state. A few
days ago. when It became known that
the Governor is soon to make a trip
to Washington, it was rumored that
his purpose was to request the ad
ministration to leave Oregon to settle
Its own political contests.
"There is absolutely no foundation
for such a report," continued the Gov
ernor. "I have been urged by Gilford
Pinchot, of the Bureau of Forestry, to
attend the conference on the conserva
tion of natural resources, which meets
in Washington December 8. I had not
intended to go because I shall be busy
writing my message to the Legislature,
but a few days ago I was urgently re
quested by Herman Wittenburg and
A. H. Devers, of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce, to reconsider the matter
and attend that conference and also the
session of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, which will convene
in Washington about the same time.
Upon their solicitation and that of J.
N. Teal, who represents the conserva
tion committee, I decided to go. These
are meetings In which Oregon Is
vitally Interested and If I can be of
any assistance I shall be pleased to
do what I can.
"I have no Intention of asking the
administration to keep out of the
Senatorial election In this state, for I
do not believe Federal officials will
interfere. I am giving the matter no
thought or intention for I assume that
the 61 members of the Legislature will
faithfully keep their pledge to the peo
ple regarding the election of Sena
tor." Governor Chamberlain will probably
leave November 30 or December 1 and
will be In Washington from about De
cember 6 to 13.
OIL- TRUST DIVIDES PROFITS
Quarterly Dividend of $10 Per
Share, Total $40, Declared.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16. Directors of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey,
which is the parent or holding company
of the oil combine, today declared a
quarterly dtvldend of $10 per share. This
was unchanged from the dividend paid
in the corresponding quarter of last year
and makes a total of $40 in dividends
to be paid this year. This has been the
rate since 1904.
In Germany and Austria alone there are
more than BO Americans singing in opera,
and It is safe to predict that each year

Most Treatments
for Rheumatism
Are Experimental
It is unnec
essary to tell
the sufferer
from inflam
matory rheu
matism that
the ordinary
treatments
for this dis
ease are un
satisfactory.
Physicians are not of. one mind
on the subject but the highest
authorities hold that rheumatism
is a disease of the blood. All
admit that in attacks of rheuma
tism there is a marked and rapid
thinning of the blood. This is a
condition that a treatment with
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at once
arrests and corrects. The thm
blood is enriched, the strength
ened organs of the body throw
off the poisonous impurities and
the patient gets -well.
With the fact hi mind that the
rheumatism is in the blood, it
will readily be seen how useless it
is to try to cure it by rubbing
liniments on the tkin. External
applications may give temporary
relief from pain but to cure rheu
matism you must treat it throngh
the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills have cured hundreds of cases
of rheumatism and no sufferer
should allow any prejudice to
stand in the way of giving these
pills a thorough triaL
Dr. Williams' Pink Puis are aoM by
all druggists, or will be mailed, post
paid, on receipt of price, joe per box ;
six boxes for $1.50, by the Dr. WiTlisimi
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
