To this Mr. Khrgoit replied that there have been additions to the rhurch constantly until the prudential t ommlttee stirred up trouble by Invlt Jnc him to leave. One of the members accused him of speaking at a Socialist meeting, at which a red flag was flung across the S'ars and Stripes. This Mr. Khrgott flenied. saying It was the wildest sort of unfounded rumor, that no such thing had ever happened and that he had spoken at only three Socialist meetings since he assumed charge of the church, t wo year siro. Another statement was made to the rffect that the work Mr. Ehrgott was lotng at the obi church, christened the "People's Hall."

Trulv It's very much like Hamlet with out the melancholy I'ane. but for all that the production commands much interest. Its particular appeal lying in Its gorgeous costuming, scenic effects and chorus singing. Especially ex cellent is the male chorus. The melodies are of the coaxing sort and the .comedy, handed out by a trio of irreslstlbles, Teddy Webb, Mark Smith and Harry Oribbon. become positively contagions. In theme "The Balkan Princess" Is a feminine edition of "The Prisoner of ZnrU." set to catchy music. A princess of the mythical land of Balarla must wed to keep her throne. Indifferent to the various ellglbles. she is Interested only in a wayward grand duke, who cares not for the prlnes and hopes to start a revolution. He is & fre quenter of a pay restaurant In Bo hemia and here the princess seeks him out and brings him to her feet a sup plicant. Misa Gunning waa the origi nal princess, no one else save her un derstudies have essayed the role, hence her association with the title has come to be a sort of blown-ln-the-bottle sig nature sort of thing. A nice little girl. Ethel Introdopl. stepped Into the decidedly difficult role last night. She didn't try to Imitate Miss Gunning. Handicapped often by the music, which la written extremely high at times to suit Miss Gunning's high soprano. Miss Intropodl did not endeavor to follow In Miss Gunning's musical footsteps, but contented her self by not taking these piercing top notes. The comedy Is apportioned Into three bits and each bit given Into excellent keeping. The only actual singing voire In the cast is possessed by Harold Crane, who sings the principal male role, that of Serglus. the wayward duke. Mr. Crane's voice Is an animated and colorful light baritone. Aid for Kural Carriers I'rged. WASHINGTON. March 22.

EMQGRATS DODGE FREE WOOL ISSUE Twenty Per Cent Tariff Meas . ure Ordered Without Cau cus Formality. BOARD WILL BE ATTACKED Underwood Writing Itcport, Which Will Be Presented Today lie- j j publicans to I'sc Tariff ' j Board as fin I do. j WASHINGTON". March The Dem. ocratlc wool tariff revision bill, levy ing a 20 per cent ad valorem duty on raw wool. Introduced yesterday by Democratic leader I'nderwood, will be reported today to avoid a caucus and thereby dodge trouble with advocates of free wool. The measure is Identical with that passed by the House last Summer. Regular Republicans contend that the president will find reason for vetoing the Democratic bill on the ground that It does not adequately protect the revenues. The re-introduction of the bill ve toed by President Taft, with the elim ination of the Senate amendments, will be used by the Democrats as the basis for an arraignment of the tariff board. In the report on the bill, which is being written by Mr. Underwood, an effort will be made to show that the hoard Is a failure and that Its report on wool is useless. "It waa determined to Introduce the bill Jjist as we Introduced it last Sum mer, carrying a 20 per cent ad valorem duty on raw wool, a reduction of about 50 per cent from the duties of the Payne-Aldrlch law." said Chairman I'nderwood. Other schedules of the bill Intro duced are: Combed wools, 25 per cent. Yarns, wholly or In part of wool, SO per cent. Cloths, knit fabrics, felts not woven and manufactures of wool. 40 per cent. Blanketa and flannels valued above 50 cents a pound. 45 per cent. Women's and children's dress goods. 45 per cent. Ready-made clothing. 45 per cent. Webbings, bandings, beltings, braids, etc., 25 per cent. Carpets. 40. 35 and 30 per cent, ac cording to grade. The minority members of the ways and means committee are planning to introduce a wool bill to conform to the repork of the tariff board. HIBERNIANS ARE LAUDED Xational Pretddent of Order Tells of Work. For an hour and a half last, night James J. Kegan. National president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, who Is on a visit to Portland. held his audience spellbound at the Masonic Temple, while he told them of the things the Ancient Order of Hibernians stood for, the things It had accom plished In the past and the mission it expected to perform. Jn the beginning of his address Mr. Regan paid a high tribute to the order here and to its officers and paid a par ticularly graceful compliment to Miss Marie Chambers. 1 member of the Na tional board of the Ladies Auxiliary, who lives here. Referring to the order here, he said: Long" before I had ever visited Portland my interest in the organiza tion here had been aroused by the character of men who represented the Portland division at the National con ventions. I knew that any division that sent out such representatives must indeed be a very superior organiza tion." Mr. Regan left at 1:30 this morning for Sacramento. Yesterday afternoon he visited Columbia University and the Christian Brothera' Business College, wnre he addressed the students. WOOLMEN GET ADVICE Gooding Say Sell Subject to Freight Kale Order. . OIIKGONIA.V NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March 22. President Gooding, of the National Woolgrowers' Associa tion, after Inquiry said today that owing to the great volume of evidence submitted the Interstate ' Commerce Commission would not be able to de cide the wool rate case until some time early In April.

Window Smashing Hold to Have Been Result of Unusual Con ditions in England. PORTLAND. March 19. (To the Edi tor.) "To erT- Is human: to forgive di vine." How human is a daily newspa per; how dJvlne the public. Yet it is hard to forgive a misstatement that brings grief, not to an individual but to a great cause for which some of us would lay down our lives. " The state ment in The Oregonlan Tuesday "Win dow Smashing Idea Is Approved." "Portland Women Condone Methods in England. Mrs. Hidden and Mrs. Ehr gott. Suffrage Workers. Say Conditions Warrant Extreme Acta." Is nothing short of a bomb thrown at the cause of equal suffrage. The unjust part of it is that the whole report was a misstatement and a misrepresentation of the spirit and sen timent of the meeting which it was supposed to echo. Mrs. Hidden had given an Intelligent, thoughtful presen tation of the subject "The Equality of Women Under the l.aw." A question box was then opened up. Among the questions asked was what about the militant suffragists. To this by request I rose and said that I thought however much we might condemn, as we all did. the militant methods of our Eng lish sister, we ought also to understand the conditions that had given rise to such methods. "Women are not militant for the fun of tt. In England, to quote Mrs. Pank hurst. "the women were perfect ladles for 50 years,' and accomplished nothing. The English government, uniting with the press, persevered in an attitude of utter disregard to the movement. A conspiracy of silence. So long as ra tional, nonsensatlonal methods were used there was no publicity, no prog ress. It was only when militant, force ful methods were resorted to that the country's attention fas called to the ancient injustice against women which the suffrage movement sought to abol ish." This was the explanation that was given as to why women adopted mili tant methods in England. But it was given with the frank statement of our disapproval of such a course and our repudiation of such a campaign. To tell why a thing Is done. Is not to Indorse It. The laboratory that seeks to discover the cause of disease does not proclaim Its desire for the spread of the disease. It seeks to know the cause that the disease may be eradi cated. Neither Mrs. Hidden nor I voiced approval of the militant out break in England. We simply put in the scalpel of Inquiry as to what had occasioned It. Portland women oppose militant methods. The only windows we would see broken are the windows of preju dice and the only stones we would use are those of sane wise, calm ar guments and trust to the truth and Jus tice our cause embodies to win the day for us. Tours very truly. SARA BARD FIELD EHRGOTT. The Oregonian Is unable to see wherein Its original report of the suf frage meeting referred to In Mrs. Ehr gott's letter was erroneous. Mrs. Ehr gott's explanation seems to be that she and other speakers were explaining, not approving the attitude of the militant suffragettes of England. Speakers at this meeting, however, made assertions that could only be interpreted as con doning the acts of the English women, under the conditions existing there.

P1TTSBURB. Ph.. March 12. One dead, several injured, heavy damage and considerable suffering, marked yes. terday a flood stage of the Allegheny. Monongahela. Youghiogheny and Ohio rivers and their many tributaries. The damage is said to exceed $1,000. 000. A temporary shutdown of many industrial plants and river coal mines has resulted, throwing several thous and persons out of employment. CHICAGO, March 22. Almost every stream and river in the Mississippi Valley in the last 24 hours has been swollen far beyond its banks by melt ing ice and snow. More damage has resulted from the Inundations, it is said, than from the blizzard which pre ceded it. Wilmington, a small town near Jollei on the Kankakee, is half under water. An ice gorge a mile long has clogged the river and the water is rising rap idly. Dynamite was used yesterday to break the ice, but little progress was made. Residents are preparing to abandon their homes. NEW CURE FOR CANCER Hope Comes From Discovery of Eosin-heleti Specific. Exchange. ' According to the New York Tribune, Dr. Otto Kilianl, professor of surgrery at Columbia University, 'reports that a Berlin scientist. Dr. Wassermann. has discovered a serum which, it is hoped, will prove a sure cure for cancer. Dr. Kilianl calls the discovery, Eosin-Selen. "The unusual idea in this cure." he said, "is that Eosin is a carrier which reacjhes only the diseased tissue, but does' not act beyond that. By combin ing with this carrier the cure (or Se len), the diseased tissue is healed with out running any risk of poisoning the rest of the body." According to the report In the paper quoted, the demonstrations of the new serum will be given before a body of recognized leaders of surgery, and not in public. The first view of the dis covery will be had In Montreal, ut the convention of the American Surgical Association. Dr. Kilianl says the cure will not obviate operation. It will still be necessary to operate, but after the operation the serum must he ap plied. This, he said, prevents a recur rence of cancer. The current" number of Rundschau Zweiter Welten has a very interesting report on the experiments of Dr. Was sermann. According to this report, when a mouse is Inoculated with the serum it becomes vividly red all over the body, but no visible effect upon the tumor ii produced until the animal has had three injections. Then the growth begins to soften. This is still more noticeable aVter the fourth Injection, and soon the contents of the tumor seem to vanish. The conclusion is that the remedy is efficient in the case of mice afflicted with cancer, if the growth Is not too far advanced, and the hope Is expressed that the further development of rhemotherapy for the cure of cancer is nearer a complete success than even optimists have dared, to expect hitherto. , WOMEN BIG STOCKHOLDERS Fa.ir Sex and Guardians Hold 60 Per Cent in New Haven Koad.
