THE MORNING OREGOXIAy, MONDAY, DECEMBER ' 27, 1909. PRINCE ATTAGKS HAWAII GOVERNOR she accompanied him everywhere, first to Ostend, then to Germany, where he bought for her a chateau owned by a once wealthy sugarreflner who had failed in business. The lady was known then as Mile, de la Croix. She bore to King Leopold two sons. One, Lucien Philippe Marie Anton, saw the light of day February I, 1906. His father, whom he resembles greatly, oreated him Count de Terxeurin. The second son, born a few months ago, is Count de Revenstein. More Favored Than Princess. So completely did the Baroness dominate the life of Leopold that the Princess Clementine, Leopold's own daughter, had to give way to her. One time at Lacken (so the story runs) the Princess ordered the Baroness from the Note Wonderful Values of This Big Holiday and Baby Week Sale Combined Goods Purchased on Credit Today, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday Will Be Charged on Janua man Kalanianaole, in Announcing His Candidacy, Springs Sensation. .-V V grounds.

HOTS-OLI.rL.Xj. Uec. 27. Del-icate to Con gress Kalanianaole, .who recently an nounced his candidacy for re-election, has caused a political Bensatlon throughout the territory by a vigorous attack upon Governor Frear, charging the Governor with not acting in good faith with re gard to the proposed homesteading of public lands. In his first Interviews on the subject the. delegate to Congress said that the Governor had "lied" about land poli cies and intentions. Tater he withdrew this expression, but announced himself as at war witli the territorial executive on account of failure to open public lands. Attack Is Great Surprise. The delegate's attack came as" a com plete surprise to the Republican leaders. Governor Frear -had Just left for Wash ington to urge a new land bill "before Congress which had been prepared with iKalanianaole's assistance and unani mously indorsed by the Legislature of Hawaii In special session. , Prince Kalanianaole said further that the administration of the public lands In Hawaii had not been for the benefit of the people. "The sugar planters can get anything they want from Frear," he said, "but the people do not get any chance. Governor Frear lied to the people and he lied to me, and made me lie to the people in my promises." Prince Retracts. After a conference with Acting Gov ernor Mott-Smith, Kalanianaole with drew these statements, but returned to the attack the next day in a written public statement. "A revolution is going on in the minds f the Hawaiian people on this question of public lunds," he said, "and we must get the land out among the people. It may finally come down to this, that men will be put in power here who are In close and direct touch with the poor people in the country who want the lands." Kalanianaole is thought by some to have aspirations to becoming Governor himself, in view of rumors of Frear's being disposed to resign and return to the bench, as it is believed here that President Taft might be. inclined to ap point a Hawaiian. COAL LANDS, FARMS, TOO Mondell or 'Wyoming Prepares Bill Providing Agricultural Entries. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, Dec. 26. Representative Mondell, of Wyoming, chairman of the committee on public lands, has introduced, and will press to consideration, a bill providing for agricultural entries on coal lands. The bill is Intended to make available for agricultural development the surface of areas underlain with coal, much of which will not be developed as coal property for many years to come because of the inaccessibility of the deposits. Moreover, the bill is drawn with a view to per mitting double use of all such land, one man to use the surface for farming pur poses; another to develop the coal be neath. The bill provides that lands known to contain coal shall be subject to home--stead, dfsert land or Carey act entry, the rights to the coal to be reserved to the United States, together with the right of prospecting and mining. No desert entry made of such lands, however, Bhall embrace more than ltft) acres, and all homestead entries shall be made In con formity with the requirements of the dry farm homestead law, except as to acre age involved. Persons entering such lands may obtain patent to the surface rights. The coal x deposits, under the bill, are made sub ject to disposal by the United States under the coal land laws, and the United States or its grantees khall at all times have the right to enter upon lands so patented for the purpose of prospecting for, mining and removing the coal, but the owner of the surface shall be entitled to damages to his property resulting from euoh coal development. The surface en tryman, however. Is given the right to mine coal on or under his land for do mestic purposes at any time prior to the disposal of the coal by the Government BARONESS IN DISFAVOR iContlnued From First Pfft.) the lower class of "La Petite Bourgeolse," though arrived at a dazzling degree of fortune, Blanche Caroline de la Croix never, so far as is known, exhibited the least intention of alleviating the lot of her brothers and sisters, and all of them speak of. her with unmistakable coldness. Her eldest sister, Madame Laure Ie febre, 50 years old, was until recently a commission merchant at the Central Markets of Paris. Another, Madame Maria Lulultt. keeps a fruit and vegetable stand In Gobelin Market. Still another sister of the Baroness is Madame Juliette Verger, who formerly was a flower girl and who 'now is the wife of a waiter in a cafe in the Place de Clythy. Brotlicr Only Champion. The only surviving brother of the Bar m oness is a waiter in another cafe not far from the Place Republlque. He alone of the family has something kindly to say of the morganatic widow of the Belgian King, whom ha called, i half Jocularly, his brother-in-law. He declares his Intention of exercising the office of natural protec tor to the Baroness as the "masculine head of the family. Of course, such an office Is not without its attractions, in view of the fact that at least $20,000,000 Is - at stake In the legal battle about to be waged over the late King's property. Baroness 4 6 Years Old. Although born in Bucharest, the Baroness is a Parisian by long resi dence here. She met King Leopold here eight years ago. when she and her sister lived in a little flat in the center of the city. It is said that the sister was a latindress at one time.

HOPEFUL VIEW IS TAKEN AVALIi STREET OPTIMISTIC OVTER LABOR TROUBLES. Increased Dividend Rates Buoy Sen timent of Stockholders- Gold Stays Home. NEW YORK, Dec. 26. Preparations were in progress last week to meet heavy obligations incident to the Janu ary disbursements, which in New York are estimated to be 1225,000,000. Heavy remittances to foreign markets to meet payments of dividends and in terest to holders of American securi ties made it a question until the mid dle of the week whether gold would not have to be shipped to London. Volatile rises occurred in individual stocks, most . from vaguely rumored causes, but there were enough dividend Increases to keep up a hopeful spirit among stockholders. The Census Bureau's cotton ginning estimate was regarded as confirmatory of the Agricultural Department's view of the cotton crop shortage and the rise in cotton to above 16 cents pointed to causes responsible for the high cost of living and the disadvantages this involved. Added interest was given to this question h,y steps taken by railroad em ployes to formulate demands for an in crease in wages early next year. Senti ment is not free from apprehension that labor troubles may have to be reckoned with in reaching settlements. , The disposition in financial circles, however, is to take a hopeful view. This same is true of the subject of legislative and executive activities in the direction of corporation regulation, which promises to be brought forward early through special messages from the President. ORDERS FOR STEEL- FEWER Consumers, However, Press for De liveries on Past Contracts. NEW YORK, Dec. 26. Heavy specifi cations on contracts for finished steet products continue to roll in upon the mills and consumers generally are press ing for deliveries. But new business in both finished products and raw material is; being contracted. Rail contracts placed in 1909 for 1910 delivery have aggregated almost 3,300.000 tons. New orders for fabricated steel for buildings and bridges have aggre gated only 25.000 tons, but it is jirobable that the December business vill total .100.000 tons at least. Evidence of contraction in the volume of . business in sheets and tinplate is shown by a less heavy output and the closing of several mills for the holidays. Great activity continues in wire products and shipments for November were 175,000 tons. Prices of mercantile pipe will be readjusted on January 1. Additional orders have been placed for cars by railroads, bringing the total for the month thus far to 11,200. ONTARIO SMALLPOX OVER Patients Recover, Quarantine Re moved R. R. Agent Gets Medal.
