Turned Down.
NEW YORK, Feb. 13. President Taft
had a quiet Sunday in New York. He
posed leisurely for a sketch or two be
fore a young- woman art 1-st, Lois A.
Swan, while going: through his mail
this morning', saw two callers and
stratcd for "Washing-ton in the private
car Olivette, leaving Jersey City at
3:55 o'clock.
Otto T. Bannard, president of the New
York Trust Company and defeated can
didate for Mayor in the recent mu
nicipal contest, and Lloyd C- Griscom,
president of the New York Republican
county committee, were the persons be
sides relatives and the artist whom the
President saw. Mr. Bannard, speaking
of the artist, said:
Artist Is Friend of Bannard.
"She is a young friend of mine and
I think she is doing remarkably well.
As the President had much personal
mall to go through he thought it would
be a good Idea to favor Miss Swan at
the same time."
After the banquet last night the Pres
ident returned to the home of his
brother, Henry W. Taft, and did not
get up until nearly 10 o'clock today. A
number of churches had extended spe
cial invitations to Mr. Taft to attend"
services today, but he declined, explain
ing In each Instance that the activities
of Saturday necessitated seclusion and
rest.
Mr. Bannard arrived at the Taft resi
dence a few minutes before 11 o'clock
and a moment after he hd entered the
house he came out with Mrs. Taft. The
President followed, and the trio, accom
panled by secret service agents, were
driven In an automobile to Mr. Bannard's
home.
Mrs. Taft Stays in. Car.
While Mrs. Taft remained in the car,
Mr. Bannard took the President into the
house, introduced him to the young Ar
tist and the President sat for a sketch.
Mr. Bannard left them and accompanied
Mrs. Taft on an automobile ride up Fifth
avenue. Mr. Bannard and Mrs. Taft re
turned to the Bannard home in n hour,
picked up the President, and all went
to Henry W. Taffs home, where dinner
was served.
Afterwards- there was music by mem
brrs of the Taft family. At 3 o'clock
the secret service men called with two
automobiles and the President and Mrs.
Taft were taken to the train.
Party to Be Purged.'
At the conference Saturday In the
Imupe of Mr. CIriseom, Mr. Bannard
t.overnor If uglier and Mr. drisrom were
of one mind in insisting thnt the Repub
lican party in New York state should
, be purged and that Aids Conger charges
at Albany should be shifted to the bottom.
While President Taft did not commit
himself at the conference, he Is said to
have told several leaders that the "situa
tion looked very bad," and it was com
mon belief that he sided with Messrs.
Hughes. Bannard and Orlscom as against
State Chairman Woodruff, Senator Dopew
and Speaker WaUsworth of the Slate
Assembly.
Mr. Bannard would not say that poli
tics was not discussed today, and the
inference was that President Taft has
taken an active interest in the Repub
lican situation In this state.

return the machine dropped to the
ground and crashed Into the fence.
Several men and women who were
standing against the fence were
knocked down, but no one was in

some time before Aviator Johnson was
able to extricate himself from the
wreck. He escaped with nothing more
than a few slight bruises of the face
and hands..

Mr. Johnson says he will .be able to
repair it. There was an attendance of

POISON VICTIMS RECOVER
Peculiar Helix Case Explained.
Patients Out of Danger.
PENDLETON'. Or., Feb. 13. (Spe
cial.) Dr. John Griswold and Mrs.
King, the two Helix victims of yester
day's accidental poisoning, are rapidly
recovering: and are now out of dan
ger. They undoubtedly owe their lives to
the fact that each took enough aco
nite to kill half a dozen human beings.
The cause of the accident is explained
today as follows:
Mrs. King was not feeling well, and
took a teasponful of what she thought
was medicine. It proved to be essence
of aconite, a drop of which is a dose.
As soon as she discovered her mistake
she rushed to Dr. Griswold with the
bottle. The physician misread the label
and to reassure -the frightened woman
said: "That won't hurt you; I could
take a tablespoonf ul," and suited the
action to the word.
,., In a very few minutes both were
critically ill.
STATES UNITE ON CLAIMS
Wisconsin's Governor Has Plan
Settle Public Land Debts.
to
MADISON'. Wis-., Feb. 13. (Specials
Governor Davidson has decided to try to
line up the executives of several states
in a combined effort to have the Federal
Government settle longstanding claims
for money due public lands.
The plan is to have the various states
ask their Representatives in Congress
to help secure the passage of an appro
priation bill settling the claims of the
states. Combined effort would secure a
settlement, it is believed, where indi
vidual efforts would be fruitless.
Wisconsin's claim' is for $500,000. and
the letter to Governor Hay, Washington,
and F. W. Benson, Oregon, calls attention
to the claims of those states for $90,000
and $S0,000, respectively. There is already
a bill in Congress to settle and the Wis
consin executive believes that the claim
can be Adjusted this year.
ROUTE REDUCES GRADES
Central JUlalio to Make Important
Change Ka.st of Ontario.
ONTARIO, Or., Feb. 13.Special.)
The formation of the Cejitral Idaho
Railroad Company at Salt Lake City
promises a new and shorter route for
the main Jlne of the Oregon Short Line
into Ontario from east of Shoshone,
and a junction here of that line with
the present line and also with the Ore
son Eastern branch now built to Vale,
and to be built this Summer westward
toward FSurns.
The proposed route of the line is
from Owinza Station, a short distance
east of Shoshone, on the present main
line, through Elmore County, Idaho, to
Poise, and thence through Mlddleton to
New Plymouth and Ontario. The
length is 220 miles. This will furnish
for the Oregon Short Line an important
reduction of the grade and a much more
direct line to the West.

HERMANN JURY IS
STILL UNDECIDED
Probers to Be- Called
Out This Morning.
JUDGE DEEMS TIME IS AMPLE
Talesmen Ask Conspiracy,
Credibility, Doubt Defined.
STRAIN WEARS ON DOZEN
Deli bera tors Seek Instructions and
Retire Defendant's lioseburg
Jvriends Protest Against Karly
Recall of Investigators.
Binger Hermann's jury is1 deadlocked.
At 9 o'clock this morning, however,
verdict or no verdict, the talesmen will
be summoned before Judge Wolverton,
who will question them to ascertain if
they are hopelessly tangled or merely
puzzled. If it is deemed probable that
the jury, though allowed more time, can
not reach a verdict as to Hermann's in
nocence or guilt, the deliberators will be
discharged.
la that event the prosecution, says At
torney Heney, will prepare for a new
trial. The defense expects acquittal
and has made no plans. Attorney
Worthington has already purchased
his ticket for Washington, and Judge
Wolverton has ordered court convened
an hour earlier to .permit the dis
tinguished chief counsel for Hermann to
leave for the East at 10 o'clock.
Disagreement Is Indicated.
As the jury's deliberations are pro
longed, indications of its inability to
agree Increase. Saturday night the jury
was puzzled over the authorship of let
ters to Mays referring to the Blue Moun
tain Forest Reserve. The talesmen were
Informed Senator Mitchell wrote the let
ters and retired for further consideration.
Yesterday morning the jury sought en
lightenment on the la we denning con
spiracy, reasonable doubt and credibility
of witnesses. These points were eluci
dated by Judge Wolverton, and the tales
men were closeted again under guard.
That . was their last appearance beyond
the walls of the Federal building upper
room.
Seated in the courtroom awaiting Judge
Wolverton's explanation of the points
they propounded, the jurymen were a
study. Everyone showed signs of the
two days strain he has undergone. Red
eyes, tousled hair, yawns, arm-stretch
ing these and other Indications of fa
tigue, nervousness and anxiety were in
evidence.
Roseburg- Friends Protest.
In the afternoon it was announced that
Judge Wolverton had determined to call
the jurymen at 4 o'clock, and If ascer
tained that disagreement was probable,
to discharge them. The report was a
reveille to the Roseburg friends of Her
mann, who are. here awaiting the verdict,
and a committee consisting of Fred J.
Blakeley, Xr. Miller, Frank. Alley and
the two sons of the defendant, was dele
gated to visit Hermann at his rooms in
the Imperial Hotel," to protest against
such eudden discharge of the Jury. The
Roseburg citizens reasoned that if there
was a possibility of a verdict of guilty
the agreement would have been reached
soon after the jury had been sent back
from Itsp first quest for Instructions. Be
lieving that Hermann's chances for ac
quittal increased with every hour the
jury deliberated. It was urged that every
effort be made to prevent its -discharge
before Monday morning.
At 4 o'clock, Hermann, Attorneys
Worthington, Gearin and Heney assem
bled, in the chambers of Judge Wolverton.
After a consultation the Roseburg dele
gation was made jubilant by the
nouncement that tne court would not
disturb the jury before 9 o'clock this
morning.
Some believe the talesmen will be pre
pared with a verdict when recalled to
day. 1 ney cite that a conviction was
secured in the third trial of John N.

BELIEF SAVES FROM FEAR
Doctrine That Christ Is Only Son
Makes Man Step-Child or Cruel
Step-Father, Says Profes
sor Herbert C. -Howe.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., Feb. 13. (Special.) After having
been first invited by the Oregon Uni
versity Y. M. C. A. to address it on
his conception of the mission of Christ,
the invitation having been withdrawn
afterward because it was declared that
his ideas were not in accord with the
beliefs of the evangelical churches
of which the Y. M. C. A. is virtually
a branch. Professor Herbert Crombie
Howe, head of the department of Eng
lish literature .at the University of
Oregon, delivered his address tonight
in the Eugene Unitarian Church to a
congregation which included many stu
dents.
"If Christ was not a man, as we are,
then God, who was his father, is not
our father in the same sense," was one
of the unorthodox utterances made by
Professor Howe in the course of his
address tonight.
"Observe, that Curist taught us to
pray to our -father, not to his father.
Everywhere he teaches you that God
is our father; nowhere does he set any
limitation on that, or give the phrase
any special and .unusual meaning. -
Creed Substitute for Acts.
"Out of the cowardice and Infidelity
of man has grown a self-indulgent doc
trine known as the doctrine of the
counsel of perfection."
He said again: "Christ bids us be per
fect, so that argument runs, but we
cannot be perfect we are only men.
He only meant that in some figurative
sense, it is said. To reply that the
words are explicit and that Chri3t only
bids us do what he first set the ex
ample of doing only elicits the denial
of Christ's humanity.
" 'O. he could do this and that,' we
are told. He was not a man, he was
a God; lie could be perfect, but he
knew well enough that we could not.
So with his counsel not to resist vio
lence, to turn the other cheek, to
love our neighbor as ourself men call
ing themselves Christians deny the
possibility of following any or all. of
these commands. They maintain that
Christ's teaching is all a counsel of
perfection, that police, and courts, and
armies and navies are necessary to re
sist that evil Christ bade us not resist.
Men substitute all sorts of elaborate
creeds for the words of Christ him
self, in order that by doing something
they may obscure to themselves the
fact that they do not believe in what
Christ says. They say that if we
literally obeyed Christ's words and did
not resist violent evil, chaos would fol
low, and only the evil man would pros
per.'.' ' Presbyterian Pastor Aroused.
Professor Howe is the Oregon faculty
member whose action in discussing the
divinity of Christ with members of one
of his classes at their request, after
school hour, last October, caused him
to be assailed from the pulpit by Rev.
H. N. Mount, of the First Presbyterian
Church of this city. What aroused
Rev. Mr. Mount's ire was Howe's de
nial that Christ was more divine than
any man, .and his statement that he
could not conceive of a God so cruel
and bloodthirsty as to Insist on a doc
trine of predestination and blood atone
ment as a means of salvation. Grow

Lads Awkward, Lasses Prim, Separ
ation Will ' Induce Effort,
Says Statistician.-
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Feb. 13. (Spe
cial.) Job Wood, statistician in the of
fice of State Superintendent of Public
Education Hyatt, is strong for sex seg
regation in high schools, and to supportj
nis contention, which he has preached
for years, he offers practical reasons.
He asserts that when a boy enters
high school he is a big, awkward fel
low, not much for neatness, while a
girl has been taught much less than
primness whlleat home; a boy is care
less with his papers, while a girl makes
a neat showing. Teachers are natur
ally attracted by a precise maiden and
give her more credits than a vouth.
That disgusts a boy and urges him to
leave school. i
Put boys by themselves and they will
work to excel their classmates, in that
way bringing out what there is in
them. Girls are naturally older for
their ages than boys, which is another
drawback. Wood finds, to sexes being
together in high schools.
ALLEGED SLAYER YET HELD
Man Said to Have Murdered Albert
Ryan Gets Hearing Today.
BANDON, Or., Feb. 13. Sp?cial.)
Sheriff Norman Tyler, of Currv Countv,
and Deputy Sheriff E. M. Blackerby, of
Coos County, who captured G. R. Gallt
har at the Circle City mill, charged with
the murder of Albert Ryan, of Del Norte
County, California, was taken to Gold
Beach, where he is now being held await
ing a hearing tomorrow.
The reason for the murder is supposed
to nave Been robbery, as Ryan was
known to have considerable money on
his person, and when the body was found
tne pocKetg contained only an empty
purse. Ryan was & logger and had been
employed in the Redwood district of
California, 'but in company with Gallihar
had leit lor the North, and the two
men were last seen together crossing the
Chetco River in a. ferryboat.
That Ryan was murdered and did not
commit suicide Is evidenced from the
fact that he was ""stabbed through his
underclothing into the heart, and his coat
was then buttoned over it. There was
no hole in the coat over the wound.
LYLE-WILL BE OPEND UP

LTLE, Wash.,' Feb. 13. (Special.)
H. M. Adams, general passenger agent
of the S. P. & S. Railway, was the
guest of honor yesterflay at a luncheon
of the Lyle Commercial Club, attended
by about a dozen prominent railroad
men of the Northwest and residents of
Lyle. Mr. Adams had Just expressed
the regrets of President French, who
was unable to attend, when a message
was received from Mr. French to the
effect that he would take the neces
sary steps to have the town of Lyle
opened up and lots put on the market.
No tidings could have been more
heartily received. Lyle has for years
been working to a disadvantage be
cause the railroad owned the town
site and would not sell lots on which
to build. With the fulfilment of this
promise will come rapid advancement.
To the Lyle Commercial Club may be
given a great deal of credit for the
action of the railroad at this time, and
also for the activity of many other
enterprises now under way here.
