Is Second In Month.
NEWPORT; Or.. Sept. 4. (Special.)
For the second time In a little more
than a month, whisky supposed to have
been aold Illegally to the rcdmen by
white bootleggers, waa the cause of
a tragedy among the Indiana on the
Sllets reservation last night, when
Noble Felix, riding home Intoxicated
from the little town of Toledo, reck
lessly fired his revolver af a tent by
the roadside, one of the bullets fatally
oundlng Odell Lane, who waa sleep
ing within.
Lane, who Is a young man educated
t the Chemawa Indian School. Is still
live, but the physicians hold out no
hope for him. The bullet struck him
on the right side under the arm. pierc
ing the abdomen. Lane Is the son of
Scott Lane, one of the most highly
respected and influential men on the
reservation.
Sheriff J. II. Rosa went to Sllets aa
soon as he received word of the shoot
ing and arrested Felix. The Indian
waa brought to Toledo and placed In
the Jail there.
On July 30 In a drunken brawl Bob
Felix, a Sllctt Indian, shot and killed
John Spencer and Martha Metcalf. also
members of the tribe, at the reserva
tion. anf then turned his weapon- on
himself. Investigations by the Indian
Agent and a Government Special Agent
brought to light startling evidence of
thriving liquor traffic with the In
dlana bv white men.
Curiously enough, Felix, the youth
held for shooting young Lane, la I
relative of the Bob Felix who com
mitted the Sllets murders, according to
word received here tonight.
With young Lane in the tent when
he was shot was another Indian named

DES MOINES. Ia.. Sept. 4. Widows
are leaving this state and spinsters
ara rejoicing at the prospect of Iowa
becoming wldowlcss. Spinsters who
had abandoned hope of marital felicity
are manifestly perking up. The day is
not yet lost. The reason for it all is
not that men do not die nor the divorce
mills fail to grind, but because a heavy
penalty devolves upon the Iowa woman
who once has entered the realm of
matrimony and strives afterward To
live without it. Every year scores of
widows, graceful, charming and pos
sibly lovable, pack their little grips and
hasten beyond the two great rivers
that form the eastern and western ex
tremities of the state.
It la all because uf the hateful tax
law, which decrees that widows must
pay a t per cent tax on all the moneys
and credits left them by tl.e last will
and testament of the late deceased.
It has been figured out that at the
preaent rate of departure of widows
from the state It will be but a few
short years until Iowa has no charming
widows, unless, of course, the grim
reaper gets busy with the husbands.
Yey, when one stops to think that the
widow who Is left a small fortune by
the will of the husband is compelled
to pay a 1 per cent tax on that for
tune, which Is often Just enough to
carry her In comfort to the end of
her days, while rich nren. who know
all the tricks and devices of tax dodg
ing, and who Invest their moneys out
side that state escape the law. there
comes a feeling to them that possibly
the law is unjust.
The question haa a financial side as
ell. a phase which actually affects In
terest rates. Most of the widows who
are left money to any amount usually
loan it out on good farm mortgages.
When they discover that while they are
loaning the money at a small rate of
Interest they must pay 2 per cent of It
hack in taxes they begin to get wise
and either send the -money out of the
state for Investment or remove from
the state to those states where no
such law is on the statute books.
Their removal or the Investment out
side of the state reduces- the loan com
petition, and tbe result Is that interest
rates advance because there Is not the
money to loan that there was when
this money was kept In the State and
loaned out.
An Interesting case In point In that of
Cedar Rapids widow who has Teft
moneys and credits to tne amount of
$185,000. She lll.ed Cedar Rapids and
had hoped to spend her remaining days
In the old home there, enjoying the In
come from her little rortune. Rut she
was a practical woman -as well, and
when at the end or the first year she
found that she must pay I per cent tar
on her little fortune she slmplv pulled
up stakes and went to New Vork City.
never to return to Iowa to live.
The case Is but one of doxens which
occur every year.

PARIS. Sept. S. (Special.) Albertlnl,
called "Le Foil." Is not only a danger
ous apache, wanted In Marseilles and
numerous other French cities for a
series of horrible murders, but he has
been the cause of a curious diplomatic
tannic between France and Portugal,
only solvable by the Intermediary of an
International tribunal at Tne ague.
The Marseilles police, after an excit
ing chase, finally ran their man to
earth in Llsbon.-through the treachery
of his mistress, and nothing seemed
more easy than to demand his extraai
tlon from the Portuguese government.
but the Portuguese officials saw things
in quite another light.
The crime for which you wisn to ar
rest Albertlnl is a capital onense in
France, and therefore If he is taken
back to his native land he will be hand
ed over to Monsler Deibler and his head
will be neatly cut off." said the Portu
guese. The French police nodded ac
quiescence In this simple statement of
fact.
Well. It Is imposible." said the Por
tuguese. '"He cannot go back, once on
our territory, for the death penalty has
been abolished In Portugal and we will
not hand over any criminal to death!"
The French argued that assassination
Is still considered a crime in Portugal,
andthat It was the nature of the crime
on which they based their claim for ex
tradition, and not that of the penalty
to be Inflicted. These arguments might
have been carried on Indefinitely if by
common consent the international arbl
tratlon of The Hague court had not
been decided upon.
Now It seems that each arbiter at
The Hague asks .2500 for his services
and the court is composed of five of
them. Therefore the decision of this
court would cost the French and Par,
tugucse governments 1 12.500. which
Paris thought was more than the head
of Albertinl was worth to France. How
ever, the affair went to The Hague and
was finally decided In favor of France.
When the steamship Atlantlque, from
Lisbon to Bordeaux, sailed the other
day, she carried Albertlnl, murderer of
his fellow-thug, Paradis, killed In a
bloody quarrel over spoils in one of the
worst of the old "quartiers of Mar
seilles.
During the 48, hours of the crossing
the prisoner was closely watched by the
three secret service men sent to arrest
him, in order to prevent any attempt' at
evasion or suicide. "I am certain that
I will get out of this fix. as I did be
fore," he told one of his guardians.
The only sign of feeling that he man
ifested was when he asked that his
overcoat might be folded on his arm in
auch a way that in disembarking the
telltale handcufs might be concealed
In this way he went through Bordeaux
and on to Marseilles unrecognized and
the sympathetic uprising on his behalf
which the police feared from the water
side toughs, to whom he has become a
sort of hero, was thus avoided by his
unconscious help.

Arlslocrucy and Gives Joy to
Real Farmhands.
IjONDON. Sept. 3. (Special.) Women
of title, aided by combating Socialism
and by the fatigues of. the season, are
finding unique opportunities for calming
their over-wrought nerves. Lady Wolse
ley, head of the Ladies Park Club, has
conceived the happy Idea of enabling the
blue-blooded members to live as form

vided for them is far from the mad

Duchesses tired of tbe social whirl go
there to commune with nature and to
enjoy the delightful luxury of plain fare.
Life on the farm will b- almost severe

Titled farm hands may also disport
themselves among the poultry. Experts
are on the premises to teach bee keep
ing, bread making, how to run a poultry
farm and how to spin. It is not com
pulsory for countesses to kill fowl for

Clause in Schedule Permits Ameri
cans to Import Machines for
Manufacturing, Free.
LONDON, Sept 8. (Special.) The
latest and one of the most interesting
International trade complications aris
ing from America's much disputed
Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill Is seen in the
case of the French lace-makers. Be
cause of a provision In the new bill
allowing the free importation ot lace
making machinery for two years, you
have now developed lace-making in
your own American cities.
Though tucked away in the free list
columns, this clause really spelled pro
tectlon. For In support of it, the
duty on French lace was raised from
60 to 70 per cent ad valorem. A still
larger Increase was attempted, but on
the plea of the French Government, a
compromise was reached at the 10 per
cent increase.
Lace-maklng is the staple and tradi
tional Industry of many of the older
French towns, and the prospect they
now face Is a dreary one. "The Ameri
cans have Imported," says a local man
ufacturer of Calais, "some 400 or 500
machines, and about 430 more are or
dered before the two-year Interval
closes. After this period, which Is up
In 1911, lace-making machinery will
be switched to the protective list again,
on the basis of a 45 per cent ad
valorem duty."
In the typical case of Calais, the re-
DOrt of British consul C a. t-ayton
exDresses grave concern over the fu
ture of the lace-maklng Industry.
American business, on which thousands
of people depend for their livelihood,
will inevitably be taken away from
them. Even the trade in the finer
grades of Valenciennes, for which some
of the Calais manufactories are iamous,
will go with the rest. Last year lace
machinery was shipped from Calais
alone to the United States to the total
value of over $70,000. ;

SEAT IN SENATE REFUSED
Governor Sanders Devotes His En
ergies to Panama Fair.'
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. Governor
Sanders- appointment of Judge J. R.
Thornton as Senator from Louisiana
probablv will be questioned when Con
gress convenes in December.
The Louisiana Legislature was in ses
sion at the time and Governor Sanders
was elected to succeed the late ben
ator McEnery as senator. uesiring
however, to devote his energies to the
proposed Panama Canal Exposition In
New Orleans, the Governor has re
signed the office of Senator and as
Governor has appointed Mr. Thornton
Senator.
It Is contended that the proceeding
violates the rule laid down in the Quay
rase, which was that a Governor of
state has no power to- make a tempor
ary appointment as Senator to fill
vacancy which may have occurred wheo
the Legislature of the state was In
session.
Having resigned while the Pennsyl
vania Legislature was in session. Mr,
Quay sought re-election. Failing in
this effort, he was given the appoint
ment by the Governor. By a majority
of one on a vote of 63, Congress re
fused to award the seat to him.
LONDON, Sept. 3 (Special.) The
French periodicals are giving promi
nence to the fact that owing to tne
recent completion of the railway from
Haiphong to Yunnan-sen, the Province
of Yunnan, China; is now in direct com
munication with the sea, and that late."
on If the intentions of the promoters
are crowned with success, the prolonga
tion of . the line Into Sxechuan. o"e of
the richest and most populous Chinese
provinces will be an accomplished fact.
For nearly half a century, the con
nection by rail of these two provinces
with Bhamo and Rangoon lias been a
favorite theme with Anglo-Indians, bu.
the project has never materialized.
Lord Curzon, among others, having
strongly opposed the suggestion.
The French railway has now been
actually opened to traffic, the line from
Laokal to Yunnan-sen, a distance . of
300 miles, having been thrown open on
the first of April last. It is less ad
vantageously situated than a railway
from Bhamo to Talifu would be, In
that Haiphong, the outlet on the sea
ia the former case, is much further
from Europe .than Rangoon, but tha
French railway, which now is first in
the field, will be a great success in its
facilities for the conveyance of min
erals, a product of great Importance in
Yunnan.
The Laokai-Tunnan-sen section lias
proved a very trying job iii Its ascent
up the valley of'the Nam Ti, which ia
steep and continuous gradient from
0 feet to about 3600 feet in height.
In this ascent extraordinary climatic
changes are passed, and the transition
from tropical to temperate regions is
very curious, pines and palms being in
close juxtaposition. The rains are con
tinuous from June to October, and the
hot and humid air favors the conver
sion of the fields and paths into vast
expanses of mud and jungle, ' where
tigers, panthers. , wolves, bears, wild
cats, snakes, deer, goats, and a great
variety of birds are found In profusion.
The heat along tills section Is described
as stifling, and the mortality among
the coolies employed on the line was
500 per month. Had it not been for thrf
assistance given by the Viceroy of
Yunnan it would have been Impossible
to have brought the construction of the
line through this unhealthy tract to a
successful conclusion.
On the whole, this new line is said
to be extraordinarily up hill and down
dale, and it Is anticipated that equal
difficulties will be encountered In tlio
prolongation of the line into Siechuan
in the descent to the valley of the Up
per Yang-tse and the reaseent to the
level of the Cheng-tu-fu in order lu
reach the interior of the province.

Speaking of Tillamook Beach, this
