THREATS STILL INCREASE
Irish Government Pears Letters Are
Forerunners of Serious Condition.
DUBLIN. Nov. 21. (Special.) The
alarming increase In the sending of
threatening letters and the passing of
Intimldatory resolution., which is gen
erally the forerunner of -more serious
forms of terrorism, has at last stirred
up the government to call the attention
of Irlqh Journalists and others to the
publication of resolutions and notices
amounting to criminal libel and in
timidation directed aairu?t the own
ers and occupiers of grazing lands.
This warning has been met with de
fiance and Insult by those who speak
for the League and some who desire
to rival or outstrip that body. They
have again and again declared that
they are not in the least bit afraid of
the ordinary law. yet It Is upon this
"remedy" that the government con
tinues to rely, in the hope that it will
result In the creation of a "healthier
state of public opinion." Can the
Chief Secretary, the Times asks, per
suade himself that it is possible to
put off any longer, by evasion and op
timistic answers In the House of Com
mons, the hour when he must render
an account of the consequences of his
policy?

Tires of Service, Quits. Amid Direst
of Threats.
FARIS. Dec. 3. (Special.) A young
man from the South has just had a good
laugh at the army. He was willing to
enlist, but wished to have a trial first,
and succeeded. He wrote to the command
ing officer at St. Oermain. and was ac
cepted, but when it camo to signing the
contract he succeeded in avoiding it. and
handed It back unsigned. The trick was
not noticed, and after a week the young
man. having had trial enough, decided
that he preferred not to continue. H
told the sergeant that he had made up his
mind to leave the barracks, and was
about to do so when he was stopped, and
threatened with the usual military penal
ties. He had no difficulty in proving that
he was under no obligations, and the au
thorities were obliged to let him go free.
CHINA ADOPTS NEW WAYS
Country Cutting Away From Past
Educational Restrictions.
LONDON. Nov. 21. (Special.)
Speaking at the I.eeds missionary ex
hibition. Eir Robert Hart, head of the
Chinese Imperial Customs, said the
prominent feature of today was that
China was cutting adrift from the ed
ucational restrictions or the past and
was welcoming and adopting all that
the West had to offer and teach. The
sympathy that ws shown in this coun
try by Kton and Oxford, in America by
Chicago, and by the German Empire,
would doubtless produce good results.
The secular development would, he be
lieved, support, rather than harm the
progress of Christian education. Chris
tianity would be given fair play by the
new era. for the Chinese were essen
tially tolerant. That, however, re
frrrrd rather to faith than to conduct.
The Chinese government, for instance,
resented missionary interference with
matters commercial, and if that point
were neglected, they might find the
"open door" shut in thir face and in
calculable harm done.
AMERICAN CHOICE IS G000
HOW KI.KCTIOX OF TAFT IS
VIEWED IX ENGLAND.
Telegraph of London Says Work and
Business Can Now Go Ahead
pecaiiy aim in saiety.
LONDON. Nov. 2S. (Special.) The Daily
Telegraph, which is Justly ranked as a
leading newspaper, has had some things
to eay about the recent Presidential elec
tion which are of Interest to all of us.
In an able review of that momentous
event the paper says:
".Mr. Taft has been elected as Mr.
Roosevelt's successor, and now the Ameri
can people, convinced that there never
was a safer, a sounder nor a less ssnsa
tiopal appointment, will settle down to
work, feeling that for some time to come
they are safe from surprises. Business
Is resumed as usual, and that result, ex
cellent from a commercial point of view,
for the United States themselves, will be
good for the world's affairs.
America Regulates Trade.
"For weal or ill. America has become
the great regulator of trade. The phy
chologlcal moods ' of her mercurial cit
izens have a verr." real Influence upon the
material Interests of other people. The
United Stasis, in a word, starts or stops
the flywheel of the world's economic ma
chinery. From thiJ point of view the end
of every Presidential election Is awaited
with Impatience, and there was perhaps
never a moment at the close of a contest
when the American people felt more sat
isfaction than now in knowing that every
thing is over. Yet to outsiders thre Is
always something fascinating, as well as
momentous, about these colossal struggles
even at their tamest.
Country Still In Making.
"The United States is still In the mak
ing, it Is like a vast mathematical prob
lem covering paper with an acre of cal
culations, and et not nearly worked out.
Kvery Presidential campaign Is an im
portant episode in one of the greatest
political experiments known to history.
Here is a comtituency of some 20.000.000
voters 30 times more numerous than even
the fabulous computation of the hosts of
Xerxes. Five-sixths of them go to the
ballot box. and the whole huge process of
the poll is completed In one day. j..is
is eminently among the things they order
better upon the other side of the Atlantic.
Though the campaign waa apparently the
dullest upon record In reality It was full
of remarkable feature and of symptoms
more significant than many of the elec
trifying enects in the more convulsed
struggles of ti.e past."
The Dally Telegraph concludes that
had a score of managers since.
In the first years of the Garden's exist- j
ance it was discovered that the place was
not n money-maker, owing to the fact
that its time was only half filled. Begin
ning with the Summer of 1897, various
schemes for reorganization were succes
sively tried and there were many rumors
of a sale. Subsequently affairs were
straightened out.
SHOWS LOSS OF INTEREST
Reichstag Debate Develops Opposi
tion to Change in Constitution.
BERLIN. Dec. 3. The resumption In
the Reichstag today of the debate on
the question of legal regulation of min
isterial responsibility showed a distinct
diminution of interest. Scarcely 100
members were !-' -nd the galleries
were only sparsely filled.
The discussion was opened by Herr
Giiief. Agrarian. He expros-sed the re
, ot t)f his party that the question had
come up for debate, but said the partv
w:ls ready to consider the motion In
committee, reserving the right, however,
to request His Majesty to restrain his
utterances in the future. The party
would reject totally any proposal for a
parliamentary system of government,
such as exists In Great Britain and
France, being confident that a strong
monarchy alone was capable of further
ing the development of Germany.'
Joseph Naumann. Radical, said the
people had borne patriotically the ter
rific burdens Involved In the maintenance
of an enormous army and fleet, but he
deplored the fact that they were not In
a position to determine what should be
done with the warships, and the army.
In the meanwhile the nation lived In
hope that some time It would partici
pate in the. government.
TITLES DEAR TO FRENCH
Old Soldiers Dusted Napoleon's
Tomb and Called Himself Orderly
PARIS. Nov. 21. (Special.) Frenchmen
of every rank and class dearly love titles.
The manager of a Paris insurance com
pany was decorated with the Legion of
Hoiinr a few days ago. and the clerks
in the employ of the company presented
him with a piece of plate to which their
visiting cards were attached. On looking
over these he was a good deal puzzled
and amused by the visiting-card of the
office boy," an old soldier from the
Invalides. who was employed to open the
office doors from 9 to 4. Under
the man's name was the title. "The Em
peror's Orderly." He Bent for the old
soldier, who stumped in and saluted.
"Of what Emperor are you the orderly,
and how 7" ho asked. The old Invalids
drew htmsolf up to attention. "I am the
orderly of 'the' Emperor." he said, "Na
poleon, le Petit Caporal." "But he is
d ad." "He lias been dead some time."
answered the soldier. "I dust his tomb
for him."

HAWLEY HAS WORK CUT OUT
Will Labor for Recognition of Ore
gon Waterways This Winter.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Dec I. Representative Haw
ley, with his wife and daughter, ar
rived last night and again has taken
apartments at the Oakland.
Mr. Hawley expects to see the river
and harbor bill passed before March
4 and will devote much of his time this
Winter to securing adequate recogni
tion of Oregon waterways. Not only
will he work for all the projects in
dorsed in the report of the chief of
engineers, but for rivers and harbors
along the Coast, and he feels reason
ably confident of getting appropria
tions for Coos Bay. Tillamook Harbor
and Sluslaw, as recommended in the
special report of the engineers. He
will also undertake to persuade the
rivers and harbors committee to in
clude In the bill such appropriation as
Is necessary in connection with an ap
propriation by the Oregon Legislature
to purchase the canal and locks at
Willamette Falls or build a new canal
on the opposite side of the river.
ELLIS TO WORK FOR RIVER
Expects, However, There Will Be
Little Local Legislation.
OREGONIAN NEWS BURSAL', Wash
ington. Dec. 3. Representative and Mrs.
Ellis arrived last night. Mr. Ellis does
not expect much local legislation this
Winter aside from river and harbor ap
propriations, but is prepared to devote
himself to the Interests of the Colum
bia River. He hopes to secure enough
money to complete the jetty at the mouth
of the river, and has strong hopes that
other recommendations of the engineers
will be carried out. Special effort will
be made to have the Celllo canal placed
under the continuing contract plan.
Mr. Kills says there Is no hope for the
bill dividing Oregon into two judicial dis
tricts until there is a change In the House
Judiciary committee, which has flatly
declined even to grant consideration to
Fulton's bill now before them.

CUUM CREDIT FOR ANTI-RACE
TRACK LAW.
400 Prominent Men of 30 Denomi
nations Attend Council for
Church Unity.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3. Having been
warmly welcomed by the pastors of this
city. 400 delegates to the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in America to
day plunged into the real business of the
council. All the prominent men of the
3 denominations represented In the coun
cil, including more than a score of bish
ops, were in their places as delegates dur
ing the morning session. The principal
business was the adoption, of the reports
of the executive committee, the secretary
and the treasurer.
The executive committee was appointed
at the Inter-church federation of churches
held In New York in 1905. and was
charged with carrying forward the or
ganization of the federal council now in
session. Dr. William S. Roberts, of Phil
adelphia, is chairman of this committee,
and Dr. E. B. San ford, of New York, sec
retary. Secretary Sanford gave a concise sum
mary of the practical results that have
followed the organization. Among these
results, he said, was the enactment of the
anti-racetrack laws of New York. A
statement in the report about Governor
Hughes, a charter member of the exec
utive, board of the National Federation
of Churches, provoked an outburst of applause.
ALL POISONED BY MICE
Peculiar Illness Results From
Spreading Virus About Room.
LONDON, Nov. 21. (Special.) Dr.
Colllngrldge, the medical officer of
health for . the City of London, reports
an outbreak of illness In a business
establishment where a large number of
persons of each sex are employed.
Twelve men became seriously ill but
recovered. All the persons affected
had dined In the same room, whereas
those who had dined in four other
rooms had not suffered. When the
hoards of the room were removed, a
large number of dead and decomposed
mice were found. It wa,s ascertained
that some of a much-advertised poison
had been laid about the room and
pantry. The virus was said to be
harmless to human beings and domestic
animals; but it was conclusively proved
that it had caused the illness in ques
tion. The virus was laid about on
pieces of bread and It was easy to
conceive that mice, after eating the
virus, "might carry the contagion about
on their feet to tables and places, and
thus it could Infect' human beings
dining in the room.
SWINDLE WAS SHORT-LIVED
Architect's Scheme Took Well, but
Soon Lodged Him in Prison.
PARTS, Nov. 21. The newest swindle.
In which many Parisians and provincials
have been caught, IS that invented by an
architect, who opened two offices, one In
Paris and one in a provincial town, where
he offered to build cheap houses for
owners of. small plots of ground in the
suburbs, which were to be paid for by
Installments. The architect accepted any
thing from $200 up, the rest to-be paid
at different dates spread over a period
as long as the customer chose to make
It. The proposed houses were to be im
mediately built and exceedingly cheap.
Any number of small landholders fell Into
the trap, and paid their first Installments,
but the promised building of their houses
Was never begun. The architect. In nearly
every Instance, told his customers that
their title was not clear or the ground
too small, and simply pocketed the money.
Some of the victims, however, lost
patience, and lodged a complaint against
him, with the result that the crafty ar
chitect Is now lodged in prison.
HAPPY AT AUTOS' DEFEAT
Parisians Celebrate Prohibition of
Motor-Omnibus Traffic.
PARIS. Nov. 21. (Special.) Pedestrians
passing through the Rue de Douai, a well
known street in the north of Paris were
surprised the other evening to tind it
illuminated with Chinese and Venetian
lanterns, while flags hung from the win
dows and balconies. Across the street
was stretched a large strip of calico
bearing the inscription. "Down with motor
'busses. Long live quietness and wooden
paving!" Groups of people stood about
on the pavements or sat outside the cafes.
Boys were letting off squibs, and the gen
eral aspect of the street was that cus
tomary on a national fete day. The rea
son for these evidences of public rejoic
ing was that the Inhabitants and shop
keepers ofthe Rue de Doual were cele
brating the prohibition of motor-omnibus
traffic along the thoroughfare and the
installation of wooden paving.
BALLOT BOXES IN PARADE
Turkish Troops Escort Them In Pro
cession Two Miles Long.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 3.-.K scene
unprecedented In the history of Turkey
was witnessed in Constantinople when
the municipal ballot-boxes were conveyed
through the streets with much ceremony.
They were escorted by a detachment of
troops, several bands and delegates from
various religious bodies, the whole mak
ing a procession two miles long. The
city was profusely decorated and there
was great enthusiasm. A protocol be
tween Turkey and Montenegro settling
the boundary dispute between . these
countries after making a few minor
changes was signed In this city today.

ELUDE KELLOGG
Cannot Find Out Why Millions
Were Lent Trainor by
Octopus.
ARCHBOLO KNOWS NOTHING
Oil Official Full or Information
About Rebates and Foreign Tar
iffs, but Ignorant Where
Money Went.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3. Efforts on the
part of the Federal counsel to obtain
information regarding the loans aggre
gating $22,000,000 to P. F. Trainor by the
Southern Pipe Line Company, a Stand
ard subsidiary, came to nothing today
In the cross-examination of John D.
Archbold in the Government suit to dis
solve the trust. Frank B. Kellogg, Gov
ernment inquisitor, has pursued every
trail to find out the purpose of these
lrage loans, but tonight he appeared to
be no nearer the solution of the mystery.
Mr. Archbold said that he knew of no
reason for the loans, which, he said,
might have represented the adjustments
between refining companies which Mr.
Trainor supplied with oil. Mr. Trainor,
who is connected with the Standard's
pipe line system, had previously testi
fied that he did not know of the loans
and never received the money.
Much of Mr. Archbold's cross-examination
today had to do with rebates paid
by railroads in the early days. He took
the position that the .rebates at that
time were a matter -of bargaining. In
which each shipper strove to obtain the
best terms.
Bought Pacific Coast Oil.
Mr. Archbold testified that the Stand
ard purchased the Pacific Coast OH Com
pany of California in 1900 for $761,000.
After that Its capitalization was increased
iby successive stages to tt'.OOO.OOO in 1!06.
when the name was changed to the
Standard Oil Company of California, Re
garding the Barnsdale loan of 7.5OO.O0O.
Mr. Archbold said there was no contract
for the loan In the city, whereupon Mr.
Rosenthal, counsel for the Standard, said
he would telegraph the escrow holders In
Pittsburg to mail the contract to the
Master for Inspection.
Air. Archbold said that as far as he
knew, the Texas Oil Company was not
owned or controlled iy the Standard,
but sold some of Its output to the Stand
ard. Mr. Archbold's attention was called to
the cost of refineries put into the trust
In 1882. which was $17,000,000. This was
the inventory value, said Mr. Archbold,
who was then asked If the exhibits of
the defense showing the cost of refineries
in 1906 to be J6.700.000, were not gross
costs instead of cost less depreciation. Mr.
Archbold said it might have been an
error of bookkeeping.
Exported Before Standard.
Mr. 'Archbold said the first refineries at
the seaboard were not built by the Stand
ard, which only realized their value In
the export business and took them over.
Mr. Kellogg desired to know if it was
not a fact that in 2871, before the Stand
ard was formed, tie percentage of ex
port of refined piid crude productions
was not greater lian today, when it is
only 18 per cent.
"I could not say." replied the witness.
'Certainly sinoe then there has been an
Immense production or low grade oil
which is not available for refining."
He admitted that the Devoe Manufac
turing Company sold oil In cans abroad
before the Standard purchased It.
Effect of Foreign Tariffs.
Mr. Archbold said the Standard had
purchased oil In Russia, but not now.
The Standard had interests in Roumania.
The Government counsel then took up
the question of tariffs on oil In the
various countries and Mr. Archbold said
the duties In Russia were Just what that'
country chose to make thein.
"If they will let our oil In free they
can get their oils in free here. There is
no favoritism among the countries where
crude oil is produced. If France has a
duty against American oils, the same
duties apply to other countries."
Mr. Kellogg asked what were the Stand
ard's advantages with regard to the
tariff and Mr. Archbold replied.
"All this talk of favoritism to the Stand
ard bv the tariff is bosh."
Mr. Archbold said that In spite of the
Russian policy of protection, "we manage
to get a little In on tlm occasionally."
"So If Russia keeps you out, we keep
them out," said Mr.' Kellogg.
"What do vou mean by we the Re
publican party?" broke In Mr. MUburn.

Those Loans to Trainer.
The accounts of the Southern Pipe IJne
Company from 1899 to 1905, showing leans
to P. a. Trainer, varying from $2,500,000 to
$4,000,000 each year and aggregating $22.
000,000, were inquired into by Mr. Kellogg.
"The balance sheets of the Southern
Pipe Line Company' show the following
loans," he said: '1899, 2.O7.O00: 1900. 4.
499.000; 1901. $2,743,628; 1902, $3,256,967; 1903,
$3,663,729; 1904, $3,915,836: 1905. $2,341,344. Now
Mr. Trainer testified that he knows
nothing about these loans and that 1 lie
money was never paid to him. Do you
know anything about these loans?"
"I do not," said Mr. Archbold.
