Ml Candidates KeenlaaT Oat. For fear of Renin hurt In the Aber deen flsht. most of the state and Con crc.-slonal candidates are keeping out ff the mliup. So. too, are local candl dates wherever sentiment appears to be at all closely divided. This, how ever. Is not a guarantee of future Im munity from attack, for the factional leaders have a pretty close tab on the attitude of candidates. It is hard to tell Just how , widely the ferlinir of bitterness has spread, for. despite all the noise that lias at tended the various county fights, the numlwr of actual participants In pri maries and conventions lias been ridicu lously small. In many of the smaller counties there lias not been Interest enough manifested to warrant calling u convention. and county committees have been Justified In electing delega tion themselves. Hut there is a strong surface showing of bitterness that may mean that feellni; has reuched the boiling- point underneath. rlag Hlot Mcalfleaal. The flag riot In Seattle a few nights a was. after all. merely an indica tion that the tension was too strong and that many people could not stand It any longer. There have been So cialist parades here before. The ap pearance of the party s rd flag Is not an unusual sight on the streets and the ntiity of trie Socialists heretofore has not aroused outspoken opposition. l:it Wednesday night's parade and red. f:ag exhibition was one demonstration too much. The veterans who lej the atta k on the red flag and their side walk sympathizers had stood agitation and attack on government until they couid stand it no longer. And bound up In the coming Aber deen convention is much tho same feel ing. Leaders In both the Taft and Roosevelt factions are becoming Intol erant of each other and the fight over seating contesting delegations Is apt to 'evelop into a party split, the serlous rcs of which will have seven months to wear off before the general election, but which still may be felt In the Fall. I'p to the present the sincere fol lowers of Senator La Follette have been rather patient with the elimina tion of the Wisconsin candidate, but there are some manifestation of dis pleasure. That these will become seri ous l highly Improbable, but they serve to call attention to the cold-blooded manner of La Follette's elimination In this state. Arcadian.

The problem, "how many ngrU could dnr.ee on the olnt of a pin?" that used to bother medieval sages, never caused the brain fag that has afflicted the Commissioner of Public Health of Oak land since he began trying: to decide where a dog should wear its muxalo under the law.

As a result owner of dops have been dodging tho Intent of tho law by clamping a di minutive muzzle on the legs, ears or tails of their pets, saving them from the annoyance of having their noses and mouths muzzled. The City Council this morning took umbrage at the situation and passed resolutions calling on the Poundmas ter and the police department to en force rigorously the ordinance, which, the Cuuncllmen declare, means a muz zle no place but over tho nose and mouth.

Varlcle was making his second trial flight about 300 yards north of Harbor I .si a ml when the accident occurred. For about half an hour ho had guided the Romano, as his bydro-aeroplane was named, along the surface of the water and found that the new craft worked splendidly. Gaining confidence he raised his elevator and the maehino gradually rose till it had mounted 100 feet above the water. He had Just shifted his planes to descend and skim along the surface of the Sound when the Romano tilted over and Varlcle, tangled In his seat, was underneath the engine as the craft hit the cold water. It was some time before the aviator regained consciousness but later In the afternoon he declared that be was fuel ing all right.

' Federals. Hold Fortifications. Though much skirmishing has been in progress, no battlo had been fought up to 5 o'clock tonight, the federals refusing to be drawn from their strong positions. There was hardly an hour In the day however, that the liberals did not feint at some point to coax tho entrenched federals out Into the open, but the fed erals refused to take the bait. In the meantime General Orozco was massing his men and getting them into positions where his artillery could sup port them. By the bringing up of more guns and dynamite bombs last night, Orozco believes he can take the federal outpost by assault and drive those fed erals not killed and captured into Tor rcon for a last stand. Men .Stand Heat Well. Notwithstanding the intense heat tho men in the field are In good condition. A high wind has blown constantly for several days, raising clouds of alkali dust and enabling the liberals to inovo freely without fear of detection.

Caught in a whirlpool below the falls of Bear Branch of the North Santiam Kiver near Shelbnrn. Chester Faulkner, of Shelbtirn, narrowly escaped drown ing yesterday and his brother. Rov Faulkner, who went to his rescue, also had a narrow escape from death. Both were saved through quick work of T. J. Gibbons. Several young men were on the bank of the creek spearing "suckers" with pitchforks. Chester Faulkner was walking around the ledge of rocks on tho edge of the whirlpool when he slipped and fell Into the deep pool. The stream is narrow and his companions thought he could fret out without trouble, but the water whirled him and the seriousness of his position was not realized until after he had none down twice. His brother then plunced in to rescue him. but the whirlpool caught him and neither could get out. Gibbons quickly saw that anyone who plunged into the water could not save them that way so waded out and sue eeeded in reaching his pitchfork to Roy Faulkner. The latter then cansrht his almost lifeless brother and both were pulled to safety. BY GORDON STUART.

The work of storing IS carloads of bacgago and equipment ot the First Infantry, the officers and their fami lies, began early in the morning and it was late yesterday afternoon before the last piece had been dropped into the hold. Sweetheart Kisses Suitor tioodhye. When the soldiers on the special trains left Vancouver yesterday after noon. 2000 people were out to bid them goodbye and when, at 1 o'clock, the. famous First Infantry band marched down from their recent' quarters, proudly, but sadly, playing lively airs, followed by the troops, it was a thrill ing moment. There were sad fare wells, loving smiles, fervent kisses and firm and hearty "handshakes, between those who were to stay and thoso de parting across the sea. - An amusing incident occurred when one ' sweet-faced girl was held up by friends to kiss her suitor goodbye, iu the window of the first seat. She kissed him goodbye all right, but those holding her up to reach him then held her so that she was kissed by two sol diers, who were hanging out of each window in that car. Then she was deposited gently on the ground, a much-kissed young lady, her face crim- SCHMITZ' LIBERTY SOUGHT Superior Judge Luwlor Directed to Dismiss Ileniaining Indictments. SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.

Several hundred mules of the Second Field Artillery, "evidently scenting some unusual event by seeing the trains back into the reservation, followed the cars until they could go no farther for the fence, aind here they stopped and brayed until the last car was around the curve. The trip across the Colum bia River was made In 43 minutes, and as soon as the train arrived at the docks the troops detrained and marched to the transport, which was in readi ness to receive them.
