WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. (Special.)
It was a man next In official kin to
President Taft who said that the cam
paign on behalf of renomlnatlon would
be the heart work of friends of the
Administration, who would gather to
gether to consult on ways and means
and then start a movement with edu
cation as It compelling force.
Tho next of kin spoke the truth.
The campaign for the renomlnatlon Is
on and the President's friends, who
seemingly properly may be called
"great and good friends." are at work.
There were men In Washington who
thought that the plan and the prom
ise of th campaign which was out
lined lacked virility, for the Infer
ence was that personal rather than
political frlonds of the President were
to do his "booming" for him.

LONDON. Feb. 14. The opening to
day of the Parliamentary session,
which Is to deal with home rule, Welsh
disestablishment and electoral reform,
was marked by a statement by Pre
mier Asquith that the visit of Viscount
Haldane, Secretary of War,- to Ber
lin, was made at the Invitation of Ger
many and that the conversations be
tween the British War Minister and
the German authorities had reference
to a desire on the part of both coun
tries that the existing tension be re
lieved. Interest In this statement complete
ly overshadowed that In the govern
ment huge legislative programme.
Since Secretary Haldane's visit to Ber
lin, the English people have been pre
pared for the announcement that It
had to do with the Anglo-German rela
tions, but they hardly hoped that the
conversations had proceeded as far as
the Prime Minister's speech showed.

It la evident that Andrew Bonar

Couple, With Xo Immediate .Wed
lock Intentions, Change Mind.
LOS ANGELES. Feb. 14. (Speajal.)
An automobile outing to Riverside, a
cunningly disguised Cupid at the wheel,
and an obliging pastor combined forces
to bring an entirely unforeseen and
unexpected climax and Miss Eva L. Rltx
and. Clifford Hahn, of this city, were
married under the Cross of the Padres
on the summit of Mount Rubidoux.
This romantic ceremony was con
ducted on Sunday, but so earnestly did
the principals endeavor to keep it
secret that nothing was heard of It
until today.
Hahn, It seems, had matrimonial
ideas on his mind and had even
obtained a license, but the marriage
was to have been months hence.
Nothing was farther from Miss Ritz'
mind than this when they started the
motor trip. They .went to the home of
a close friend and he suggested the
climb of the mountain.
On the way up Hahn likened the
ascent to life's journey, and insisted
that he wanted to travel alone no
longer. There were blushing protests,
but eventually Rev. Horace Porter, of
the First Congregational Church,
Riverside, waA driven to the mountain
top and the rest was easy.
FAT POLICEMEN BARRED
San Francisco Officers Ordered to
Walk Off Surplus Flesh. '
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14. (Spe
cial.) Beginning next Sunday the
strenuous life will begin for the police
and fire departments. Embonpoint,
which has been a proud possession of
many members of the "finest" for
ypars' must yield to the persuasion of
physical culture and 20-mile hikes.
The first demonstration of new
methods In the police and fire depart
ments will be given next Sunday
morning when 25 men from each de
partment will take a 12-mlle tramp
under the personal direction of Presi
dent Brandenstein. of the Fire Com
mission, and Police Chief White. It
has been decided that life at the fire
houses was tending to make the men
indolent and that many of the police
men were putting on too much "cor
poration." The fire and police departments of
this city may In the near future be
so organised that In case of a public
emergency they may be merged for
greater efficiency.
The next step will be to make the
training of the members of the two
departments such that if men are
needed from one department by an
other there will be nothing to pre
vent "borrowing."

Pope Postpones Constantine Cele

ROME. Feb. 15. (Special.) The
. . .,w ntii npTt Tear
.pope nus puoiH"i - -
the commemorative celebration of the
sixteenth centenary of Emperor i.on
stantines victory at Milvian Bridge,
his reason being that It might be mis
construed by the anti-clericals who
have found fault with the commemo
ration by the church of the battle. He
has decided, therefore, that instead
of ConstanUne s victory, his edict pro
mulgated in Milan in May, 313, shall
be commemorated.
Since that edict constituted the nrsi
triumph of Christianity and marked
the end or the era of church persecu
tions, the Pope wishes the celebration
to assume a religious character as a
solemn manifestation of faith. He re
ceived In audience yesterday the Mar
quis Sachettl and in referring to the
proposed celebration he said he hoped
another- year's life would be granted
him, thus enabling him to officiate as
Pontiff In St. Peters on the same spot
where Constatine built the church IS
centuries ago.
PRINTERS ARE PLACATED
Government Agrees With Union on
Making Paper Money.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. A fight of
several years' duration over the Gov
ernment's plan to print its paper money
by. power presses instead of by hand,
was compromised today when the Plate
Printers' Union approved a plan by
which the faces of notes will be print
ed by hand and the back by power
presses.
Senator Smoot, chairman of the Joint
Congressional printing committee, esti
mated that the Government would save
many thousands a year. He predicted
that at the end of five years the print
ers would be willing to have all the
notes printed by power.
NON-UNION STAND IRKS
Governor Hunt, of Arizona, Will

PHOENIX. Ariz., Feb. 14. Governor
G. Wr. P. Hunt, the newly installed ex

rore today just after he had subscribed
to the oath of office by refusing to oc
cupy a reviewing stand built by non
union laboring men.
The Governor and his party retired
to the capitol building to look at the
parade while another stand was being
erected by union men. After it had been
completed the Governor and his friends
took seats and remained until the pa

Official authorization is looked for
Immediately, possibly today, by Major
J. F. Mclndoe, Corps of Engineers, U.
S. A., to close negotiations with tha
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany for the purchase of the Willam
ette River locks, at Oregon City, for
1375.000. The War Department will
spend approximately $300,000 on re
pairing the locks and basin and In the
construction of a concrete wall to sep
arate the property from that of the
corporation, which will retain all other
holdings at the Willamette Falls.
News of an agreement having been
reached was received in the city yes
terday, and on the arrival of Major
Mclndoe from Washington over the
North Bank line, at 7:45 o'clock last
evening, he confirmed the fact that
Government ownership of the last bar

land last month for the Panama Canal,
via Washington, and before he left the
Isthmus received a cable directing him
to report at Washington on his return
and it was at a conference with offi
cials there that an agreement as to
the price was reached.
Immediate possession will not be
given the Government, as it will be
necessary for the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company to execute a
deed conveying the locks system and
abutting property that is included for
a keeper's habitation and other build
ings, -id the instrument will be for
warded to the Department of Justice
for scrutinizatlon. When accepted the
Government will assume charge and all
tolls will cease. It is planned to make
repairs so that river traffic will be in
terfered with as little as possible. The
depth over the sills of the locks will
be increased so there will be no delays
to navigation due to low water, while
the gates and other equipment will be
overhauled.
It Is not intended to widen the locks
at present, though in the plans and
specifications compiled for the pro
posed locks and basin on the West
Side, the right of way for which would
have to be condemned, it was proposed
to have sufficient space so that two ves
sels could lock through in company.
B. S. Josselyn, president of the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Company,
is in California, and Eastern officials of
the company met with War Department
executives and completed details of the
negotiations.
Reduced Tariff .May Result.
While the possession and control of
the canal by the Government is not ex
pected to result In the movement of
the ..lajor portion of freight handled
between Portland, Corvallis and Inter
mediate points by water, it is believed
that it. will result in a reduction of
freight rates by railroad.
The canal now col'.ects a toll of B0
cents a ton for all merchandise pass
ing through it. A rate also is tixed
for passengers and livestock. T.'hcn
the Government takes charge of It,
passage through the canal will be free.
ThH will reduce the water rate in a
sufficient amount, it is thought, that
the rail lines will have to cut their
rates to meet the water competition.
However, Major Mclndoe, in his re
port to the War Department recently,
calculated that 20 per cent of the mer
chandise passing between Portland and
Upper Willamette River points will be
handled by the canal. He estimates
the merchandise handled annually at
600,000 tons, which would give the
canal 120,000 tons yearly. There is
also a fair movement of passengers at
all seasons of the year when the river
is open.
River avlgable to Corvallis.
The Willamette is navigable as fat
south as Corvallis. The steamer Po
mona maintains regular service be
tween Portland and Corvallis, while
the Oregona operates regularly be
tween Portland and Salem. Other
vessels will be placed on these runs, it
is predicted, if the Government relieves
the owners from tolls at Oregon City.
The canal has been the subject ol
much controversy in the last few years,
or ever since the demand that the Gov
ernment buy it arose. The State Leg
islature in February, 1909, voted to ap
propriate 1300,000 for the purchase of
the property, providing the Govern
ment pay an equal amount. This offer
of the state will expire December 31,
1913, having been once renewed since
first it was made. The Government
set aside $300,000 forthwith, made sur
veys and obtained prices for right of
