Shriners' Band Plays Dixie When
Party Leaves Train and Auto Ride
Is Over Fifty Miles of Fine
Streets and Boulevards.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. April 7. (Special.)
One hundred and five Shriners and 65
3hriners wives, with the Portland dele
gation leading, disembajked from the
Shriners' special at the Union Station
it 5 o'clock this afternoon. The party ar
rived from the Wost on the Missouri
Pacific
While the A fill patrol band of Tacoma
played "Dixie," the Portland Shriners
leading, the party was escorted through
the station to the etreet, where 50 motor
cars were waiting. The Shriners were
received by a commuted from -Ararat
Temple, of Kansas City.
Not even in Portland, a city of pleas
ant surprises itself, have its citizens who
are traveling to the New Orleans con
clave ever had a better time than await
ed them after the start of that automobile
trip. They were taken over 50 miles of
Ierfectly oiled, dust-proof boulevards end
through picturesque park drives.
The ride ended about 6:30 P. M., when
the machines drove up to the Shriners'
Temple, at Fifteenth street and Boost
avenue. There dinner was served. Later
the members of the party divided. The
men and for the most part all of the
Portlanders. were taken to Convention
Hall, where they witnessed the wrestling
match between Dr. B. F. Boiler, of Se
attle, and Yuslf Mohammed, the Turk.
It is not' hard to guess whom .the Port
land crowd rooted for.
The ladies and some of the men elect
ed to attend the theaters, and they were
escorted to the various play-houses by
the reception committee. Waiting motor
cars conveyed the party to the Union
Station following the performances.
The special departed southward at 10:30
o'clock, all the Shriners somewhat tired
but happy and a unit in saying Kansas
City had given them a royal good time.

PITTSBURG. Pa., April 7. (Special.)
Among the indictments returned
asninst certain alleged violators of the
Federal laws this morning b ythe special
grand jury sitting in the United tSates
Court, was one containing three counts
against Alice Peterson, of Johnstown,
who is charged with using the United
States mails to effect a scheme to de
fraud. The information was made by
I'ostoffice Inspector C M. Dunn, of Al
toona. Among the exhibits offered by the
postofflce inspector are a number of let
ters. One was addressed, to J. Frank
Ross. 65 East Ninth street. Eugene, Or.,
whom she requested to send her J100. so
that she could go and be married to him.
The letter was mailed March '-5, 1908.
J. Frank Ross admitted his correspond
ence with the Peterson woman and also
that he sent her money. When she did
not come to Oregon to be married, after
several threats, he turned the correspond

declared he carried on the correspond

NOBLE PAIR IS ACQUITTED
Count Who Borrowed to Finance
Matrimonial Project Blameless.
PARIS, April 7. The court today ac
quitted the Countess Clare and Count
ladislaus Zoliynskl of the charges
brought by Mile. Wilhelmina Kemper,
who contended that she was victimized
aut of 197,000 which was to have been used
to finance the matrimonial projects of
Prince Victor of Thurn and Taxio.
The court found that the Countess was
not responsible for the loan made to the
"outit and that the latter borrowed in
good faith to help the Prince find a wife.
On the ground that it was immaterial
to the action, the court declined to rule
Ml the question of whether the reputed
Kngllsh Countess of Clare was identical
with Blanche Laigh, formerly the pro
prietor of perfumery parlors on the Rue
3e la Faix.
PLANS TO BE ENLARGED
Itcceptlon to lie Noteworthy but
Modified as to Formality.
LONDON, April 7. Th committee
ippolnted to arranpe the reception and
luncheon which the City of London
Mil frlve to ex-President Roosevelt is
ilready at work and In determined to
make the affair one of the blgr events
of hie tour. The committee will depart
unmewhat from the severely formal
customs that prevail upon the visits
of monarchs and will seek to brlns to
pettier representative Knglishmen ir
respective of their official position.
Members of the government, leaders
of the opposition, the staffs of the
American Kmbassy and Consulate and
prominent Americana resident In Eng
land will be amonsr the guests.
The Tablet, the orpan of the Roman
"atholio Church in Great Britain, com
ryentiug upon the Vatican-Roosevelt
incident, says that the correspondence
.nvolved affords melancholy reading:
ind that the public the world over
:hinks the whole "tragedy of errors"
was due to "talking by cable" instead
f through written communications.
The Tablet considers that Air. Roose
velt, havintc selected this means of
communication. should have shown
some frenerosity in its interpretation
and a readiness to make allowance for
the deficiencies of the instrument of his
choice; but. instead, he appears to have
taken offense and thought it necessary
to assert his Independence, which cer
tainly d.u not need to be accentuated.
The Tablet contends that the sole
nfft'nse of the Vatican is that it en
deavored to make him acquainted witn
tne facts before he reached Rome so
t,.ai he might not make engagements
which per naps would be difficult to
cancel.
The paper maintains that the respon
sibility for the incident which has
g-lven pa m to the whole Catholic world,
assuredly no less In America than In
-.iirfrA tii n r rat with the nArcnti
who gave strictly private communica
tion to tb press. The Tablet ab
solves Mr. Roosevelt from blame for
puoiication of the correspondence, but
Insists that oefore "the crude cable
grams were thrown to the world,"
a few words of frank explanation
would have averted all unpleasantness.
RECEFTIOX.XOT TO BE LOCAL
New York Committee Makes Em
phatic Denial of Humors.
NEW YORK, April 7. The reception
committee, beaded by Cornelius Vander
bllt, which is to have charge of the
home-coming welcome to former Presi-
dent Roosevelt, is anxious to have
everybody know that there is to be noth
ing partisan or local about the celebra
tion. The Impression seems to .have gone
out to some quarters, they say In a state
ment today, that New York City desires
to make the event local rather than Na
tional.
"This is incorrect." the committee save,
"and we are glad that the matter has
been brought to the front and emphatic
denial made of the local character of the
reception. The committee named by the
Republican Club includes leading repre
sentatives from its nonresident member
ship and the club stand? ready to receive
suggestions from bodies outside of New
York City. Both this committee and the
citizens committee would be glad to co
operate with others who desire to help
welcome the former President."

3 BANK ROBBERS SHOT
TWO WITH PLUXDER ESCAPE
POSSE OX FREIGHT TRAIN".'
Thugs Tie Two 3Ien, Blow Coal City,
III.', SaTe, Flee With $2000.
Fifty Bullets Exchanged.
CHICAGO. April 7. Three bank rob
bers were wounrted and captured at
Morris, 111., today, after an exciting:
race between a freight train bearing
the fleeing robbers and a number of
motor cars carrying: the members of a
pursuing: posse.
The captives belonged to a band of
five, which raided tlie Bank of Coal
City, at Coal City, III., today; and
escaped with $2000.
Coal City is 63 miles southwest of
Chicago. The population was aroused
by the explosion in the bank. The ma
rauders entered the town on a' freight
train, and began operations by captur
ing Washington Frye, night engineer
of the electric light plant, and Bar
ney Ghetto, the night watchman. They
then entered the bank, blew open the
safe, and with the money they found
fled to the railroad, where they leaped
on a Santa Fe freight train.
Three hours later three men suffer
ing from shot woun.jr were arrested at
Morris, II L As thg train carrying the
bandits pulled out of the town, Ghetto
succeeded In cutting his bonds, and
rushed to the telephone, notifying the
night watchman at Mason, seven miles
south of Coal City, and he, with Dr. E.
I. Watts, laid in wait for the robbers.
Watts was armed .with a repeating
rifle and Miller carried a revolver.
At Mason the freight train stopped to
switch cars. The bandits leaped from
the train and hid In a clump, of shrub
bery near the track. Miller and the
physician discovered their hiding place
and opened fire, which was promptly
returned. 25 or more shots being ex
changed. When the train started the
bandits leaped aboard and again es
caped. Immediately the Sheriff at Morris
was notified. Several automobiles were
pressed into service and the pursuit
began, the machines following a road
along the Santa Ke right of way. For
a time the motor cars sped directly
alongside the freight train, 'members
of the posse occasionally firing at dark
objects which were thought to be the
bandits. When the train stopped at
Verona, near Morris, the cars were
searched by the Sheriff and his men.
Three of the fugitives were found, all
wounded. The other two had fled. It
Is believed they leaped off the train
from the side opposite the posse and
escaped with the booty.
The prisoners were taken to Morris

homes were In Chicago, and gave the
names of John Hoyt, ltawer Tonessew

TAX CHURCH, SAYS GAYNOR
Gotham Mayor Believes in Religious
Bodies Sharing Borden.
NEW YORK, April 7. The churches
and religious institutions should pay their
share of taxes for local Improvements, is
Mayor Gaynor's latest suggestion. He
turned his attention to the city tax and
assessment department for the first time
this week. After ascertaining to his sat
isfaction that much excellent property
throughout the city Is undervalued, he
announced that the Tar Board "needs
waking up."
"Why shouldn't the churches pay their
assessments for improvements as well as
other people?" he asks in a statement
given out today. "I don't see why thereI
should De any discrimination. I know it
is the policy of the state to free religious
institutions from general taxation, but I
think that they should be made to pay
local Improvement assessments. I shall,
therefore, refuse to approve the frequent
applications which come to us for ex
empting churches and religious or charit
able institutions from these assessments."

ELEVEN YEARS' WORK DUE
Reclamation of Vast Expanse of
Territory In Sharp Contrast to
Tli at of TurklehGovernment
of 12,500,000 Acres.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. April t If Congress passes
the pending bill making available $30.
000,000 to complete irrigation projects
now under way, the Government will
be able, by the close of 1913, to bring
under water approximately 3,000,000
acres of land.
In other words, the reclamation of
this area will represent 11 years' work.
In striking contrast with this show
ing, announcement is officially made by
the Department of Commerce and La
bor that the Turkish government has
just entered upon the irrigation of 12,-
500,000 acres of arid land, the contracts
calling for completion in six years.
From this comparison it. would seem
that the United States is still a novice
at Irrigation construction, for the land
which the Turkish government pro
poses to Irrigate is similar to other
districts of that empire which have
long been under cultivation, and the
building of irrigation works in that
country Is no experiment.
"Reclamation of Mesopotamia'9 Ten
der Way.
The gigantic project undertaken is
known as the reclamation of Meso
potamia." According to official infor
mation given out by the Turkish gov
ernment, about 4000 coolies have al
ready been put to work, under a large
corps of competent engineers.
Much of the land, because of the
cheapness of labor, will be irrigated
for $18 per acre, and when reclaimed,
will, It is estimated, be worth $165 per
acre. It Is not such a region, nowever,
as will appeal to white men, nor is the
enterprise one that could well be built
by Americans.
The land has stood idle for 5000
years. It lies in a region where the
heat. In Summer, reaches 125 in the
shade, and Is over 100 degrees for six
months in the year, although in "Win
ter the thermometer drops to 12 below
freezing.
So fertile is the soil of Mesopotamia,
It is said, that where it is now irri
gated almost any cereal or vegetable
thrives. Irrigation is now earried on
in the ancient way by crude wheels with
earthen buckets, or else the water is
raised in buckskins by ropes drawn by
horses and bulls.
Wheat and Barley Bountiful.
Wheat and barley are grown from
November till April. Cotton will grow
advantageously and is expected to be
one of the staple crops of the new ir
rigation district.
The Turkish Government, in entering
upon this enterprise, is looking for a
means of increasing the commercial
importance of Mesopotamia. If the
scheme should succeed only in part, it
is declared, it promises to revolution
ize commerce and shift trade balances
and traffic In that part of the world.
There is now, in that country, a
population of over 2.000.000, mostly
Arabs. Egypt, with less than one-half
the acreage, has five times as many
people and ten times as many per
square mile.' India is expected to fur
nish the principal part of the immigra
tion after the land has been reclaimed.
Keeps Servants Satisfied
It is the grind of housework that
disgrantles servants the pushing and
lifting, the brushing and brooming and
the dust, dirt and grime that brings
dissatisfaction.
Cleaning by suction 'with a ,
"PEERLESS" is the scientific,
modern, sanitary way.
It does away with the necessity of
moving furniture, saves work and
time, draws in every atom of dirt and
dust instead of stirring it into the
atmosphere only to settle again.
It keeps servants satisfied.

"I am here for a fight to a finish with

George H. McFadden, the cotton op
erator. "Is It true that you lost more than
n.000,000 In the recent slump?" he was
asked.
"Make It 12,000,000 if you xant to." he
replied. "Losing $2,000,000 in this sort
of a fight is no more to me than losing
