THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1913. DSBORN SEES NO THIRD PARTY NEED One cf Seven Governors De nounces Platform as Vote Catching Device. FITTEST BOUND TO GOVERN Eighty Per Cent ot Kepublicans De clared Progressive Sixty Per Cent of Them Will Stay In Ranks, Is Prediction. TAXSIXG. Mich.. July 24. (Special.) Governor Osborn. one of Colonel Roosevelt's '.'seven Governors." today said there was no reason why the so called "militant progressives" should not organize If they so desired, but that he believed that 80 per cent of the voters of the Bepubllcan party In this state were progressive and he believed that 60 per cent of the 80 per cent would remain in the Repub lican ranks. -I do not wish to impose my opinion as a dictum in reference to the organi zation of a new political party in Michigan. My position must be well known by this time. When Mr. Wil son was i nominated at Baltimore. I thought there was 'no longer a real pnbltc reason for the candidacy of Mr. Roosevelt, but this does not imply that he has not the right to be a candidate, nor that his friends have not the right to urge him to become one and support him as such. Krw Party ot Demanded. - "I have not been in favor of a new political party and have not believed that exigencies of times demanded one. Likewise, there is no reason why the so-called militant progressives' should not have organized if they cared to do so. I still believe that 80 per cent of the voting strength of the Republican party In Michigan and. for that matter. In the United States, is progressive and I still believe that 60 per cent of that 80 per cent will remain in the Repub lican organization, believing that their work within can be more effective than to endeavor to build a new organ ization. There Is no cause for worry. This country is entitled to be governed by those most fit to govern. It may be concluded that those most fit to gov ern will govern. If a new party in Michigan and in this country succeeds in winning public place. It will simply bring to itself great responsibility, and if it does not. the work it has under taken and which must be done, will have to be done by the Republican and the Democratic parties. Platform la "Vote-Catcaer." The only difference I have with a new party is my belief that the- work can be done hy the Republican party. As for the progresslveness of the new party, the character of It does not suit me much, if any, better than the Re publican party at the present time. The new party, in Its fine state plat form, says nothing about excessive alcoholism that is sapping the vitals of the country and filling almshouses and insane asylums and divorce courts and all dread places. "Tt does not say anything about government ownership of railroads, which will come of a certainty within a little time. The ffjlatform seems to have been framed for the purpose of vote-catching."

K. Con vention Ask for Rooms. CHTCAGO. July 24. (Special.) Chi cago hotels are taking a yawning in terest In the convention of the Roose velt "Bull Moose" party, which .has been called to meet in this city on August 5, so few have been the reser ventlons for the work of the conven tion. I-eading downtown hotels report ed today that only 206 persons inter ested in the convention have made reservations for rooms. According to the call for the gathering there are supposed to be 532 votes in convention. In some states votes will be split, so that the actual number of delegates will run above 600. Alternates will in crease this number to 1200 on paper. The small number of hotel reserva tions has given a jolt to the plans of Roosevelt managers to sell the Colise um tickets to spectators. Managers fig ured that fully 400 seats would be sold at $15 each to visitors, and that an equal number would be sold to Chi ta goans. EAST SIDE MARKET URGED Business Men Ask Mayor and Conn, ril to Rush Action. Asking the City Council to take definite and speedy action regarding the public market, the East Side Busi ness Men's Club mailed a letter to Mayor Rushlight and each of the Councllmen, to that efTect Monday. Some time ago it was voted to have a public market, but the action follow ing this has not been fast enough to suit the East Siders, who are taking up the matter with the Mayor. "If the Council does not take action at once, we will submit the matter to the people next Fall," says C. C Hall, assistant secretary and one of the chief men behind the move of the club. "We have furnished the city with all kinds of information concerning the success of such markets, proving conclusive ly that the sooner they are inaugurated, the better for the city. "A report from Seattle Grocer's As sociation goes to show that the mar ket of that city is not a success, but we have the word of many families who patronize the place, and they declare a saving of as much as 910 per month for ordinary families."

ACTRESS ENTHRALLED BY PSYCHIC POWERS Cathrine Ccmntiss, Now Shinin: in Starlight of Stage, Confesses She Was French Prisoner in Dark Dungeon When on Earth Before This Life. BY LEONE CASS BAER. OVER a social pot of tea green tea, too chuck full of poison, the sort that women love and their male escorts who pay for the feed invariably say shouldn't be drunk, under any cir cumstances Cathrine Countlss grew bibulous to the extent of revealing tht deep, dark secret that she never un burdens unless In the throes of green tea. The secret Is that once on a time this charming American girl, demo cratic as Thomas Jefferson himself, a feminine George Cohan in flag waving, was a French lady and contlned in a hor-r-lhle dun-g-e-o-n somewhere in sunny France. "Oh. do not laugh, pray, Deseecnea the actress, putting on her test I-have-dld-no-wrong manner and fixing me with a pair of limpid topaz eyes. Just as a fat comfy beetle is impaled on a pin.

When we went into the London Tower, one of the women in the party said, 'Ssh, ssh, Cathrine may ieei a thrill here: It may De tne home 01 ner soul," and I let them laugh because I know in a thousand years I couldn't explain my sense of having lived be fore. "While in England everything was strange to me. I had to learn streets and locations and then couldn't remem ber 'em. But. listen!" here Miss Coun ties wig-wagged a very pretty fore finger in my direction and I felt the goose-flesh crawling on my spine. "When I got- to France to France," she spoke the word ominously and as If she'd beat me if I doubted It, "I was perfectly at home. I knew the old streets: I knew I had been there. 1 found my way about corridors in big. gloomy churches, and the lar -uage was easier for me than my own English. It's curious, but I cannot learn dialects, and I've never been able to master Ger man. Italian or any tongue other thau French." "Well, did you find your prison," I found myself saying, in a scared-to-death voice. Yes." Miss Countlss looked at me searchingly, I know, and I tried my best to look as if I believed er-ry word of It. iy lying face must have got by, for she poured out another cup of tea and resumed. "Oh, how I searched for that prison. "I knew I'd find it I felt so perfect ly at home. One day we went out to the spot where the old Bastile used to stand.

"To digress a moment, I must tell you that Invariably I'm the first to run to a dog fight, the first to climb trees, always lead If there's exploring to be done, and in fact I never play follow the leader in Tisks, for I'm always the leader. So you may judge of the con sternation of my party when I sud denly kneeled over, and refused, when later I came to my accepted senses, to climb the stairs. I felt oppressed.

PLANS FOR CHANGE VARIED Unable to Agree on Any Scheme to Enlarge, Members Drop Ques tion McCredie Insists on Four Teams In North. SAN FRANCISCO, July 24. (Special.) "The chances are that the Pacific Coast League will remain a six-team organization for some time to come," said President Baum last night, after a four hours' session of the directors ot the league at which expansion was the principal topic under discussion. The leaeue president explained his stand by saying that the views of the various directors were so widely diver gent on the form of expansion that it did not .look as if they would be able to combine on any plan that would be satisfactory to all parties. . Under the circumstances, therefore. It iooks very much as if the present state ot affairs will not be disturbed. Judge W. W. McCredie, of Portland, Insisted that if the league intended to expand it must be on the equaM)asis of four clubs in the south and lour in tne north. The California directors opposed this idea and It was suggested by Happy Hogan that It would be a good scheme to have two clubs In San Francisco. The expansionists, however, could not reach an agreement and tne meeting adiourned without action being taken, although it was tacitly understood that the discussion would De aroppeu iur the time being. The gambling phase of baseball was also taken up.' In spite of rumors that there might be a switch of the Sacramento franchise to Seattle, It was denied that the ques tion of disturbing the Sacramento club had been raised. It was further an nounced that the clubs in the league would not be disturbed. GREETERS ENJOY BANQUET Hotel Clerks Celebrate Admission Into National Association.

The most terrible feeling indescrib able came over me. and by common consent we hurried away from the place. It was not until hours" later, when I had halfway regained my calm, that someone suggested, this time not laughingly, that perhaps this had been my early-day home. "The skeptics In the party laughed, and have since told It as a 'coinci dence,' but I knew differently. Once I lived In that prison and " Cruel Details Omitted. "Heavens, don't be beheaded," I be seeched. , "I won't," she agreed. "But tell me, honest Injun, cross-your-heart and hope-to-die, do you believe and under stand this feeling I have?" The sun was shining in a spot of gold on the snowy cloth, outside a bird sang, the dusky waiters moved noise lessly about, and modish gowned wom en sipped oceans of green tea in little groups about the room. "Oh, it's 1912," I parried, and re joiced that It was so. "Yes, but do you?" The topaz eyes Impaled me again. I looked at the saucy chin and the fresh skin and the sane, clear, straight gaze from 'neath level brows. "No, I don't," I said in my reg'lar sensible thick-woolen-flannels and wlde-soled shoes manner. "No, I do not. I think you're a perfectly nice Texas girl who has had a bad dream, and if you don't give up drink " Miss Countlss looked into the depths of the gold and blue pot. "There ain't no more," she sighed. I told her I was going to print it just as she'd given it to me and she said she wished I would, because some where In Portland among her old friends she knew there must be some Kindred Soul who understands and sympathizes. So it's up to the K. S. a French K. S. is naturally preferred as Miss Countlss' other soul has prob ably not yet learned good English. p. B.

WILES' CHARGES DENIED Itealty Association Tells of Irvington Deal. A thorough and sweeping denial of the charge of fraud preferred against them by Elwood Wiles In connection with the purchase from A. R. Diamond and others of 163 lots in Irvington was made Tuesday by Thomas D. Honey man and R. D. Inman, of the Realty Associates: S. B. Huston and others In an answer filed in Circuit Court Wiles, who claims an equity of 9000 in the property, in a suit started last week - to have the Realty Associates declared to be holders In trust, charged that the defendants had taken ad vantage of the weakened mental con dition of Diamond, induced bv a long illness resulting from a stroke of apo plexy. "After the workwas performed and all payments made," says the answer, "Wiles Informed both Huston and Diamond that they did not owe him anything, but on the other band that he had received overpayment in the sum of $10,000 and would pay it upon their final settlement. "In further reliance upon the state ments of Wiles that the company owed him nothing and that he owed the com pany $10000 Huston and Diamond made the deal with the Realty Associates, transferring all their stock to the lat ter concern without making any report of an indebtedness to Wiles. The de fendants now ask the court to estop Wiles from giving any evidence of an indebtedness on the ground that he has frequently denied the liability of the defendants and that it would be Inequitable for him to advance his claim, if any exists, at this time." Wiles asserted that the property was worth $193,000 over and above mortgages and Hens. The defendants declare that the value over Incum brances was not more than $75,000 and also contend that the value of Dia mond's insurance business, which was transferred in the deal, was negligible. Wiles had placed its value at $7200. DAILY CITY STATISTICS Marriage Licenses. WRIGHT-ALLTON To Grover Wright. Welser. Idaho, 22. and Myra Allton. city, 22. RICHMOND-WOODRI.S'G To Harry H.

POPULAR NOVEL FLAYED CATHOMO TEACHERS tPHOLD CLASSIC EDUCATION'. Criticism of Modern Curriculum Ad mitted, but Remedy Is Asked by Institute. A strong plea for classical education was made Tuesday afternoon by Dr. Anna M. Nicholson, supervisor of the State Normal School at San Jose, speaking before the Catholic Teachers' Institute at St. Mary's Academy and College. The subject under considera tion was "Tendencies of Modern Edu cation." Miss ' Nicholson pointed out that criticism of the present high school curriculum was general throughout the country, and the criticism principally related to the employment of classical studies. "The general contention seems to be that they must have Informative value, together with their disciplinary value. There may be much truth in the criti cism, but at present the critics have nothing to offer in place of them. "A liberal education might be de fined as an education, which develops all of a person's mental capacities to their fullest extent. It develops man along all lines of development. It de velops his appreciation of the various things of life. It gives to a Cincin natus his high ideals and his love of the soil and It enables a Kobert Burns to perceive the exquisite beauties everywhere about him, in the flowers, the forests and the brooks. As in creasing our sense of appreciation, it makes for a higher standard in the things that are the products of our activities. Thus it makes for a higher standard of productive activity, "and there ls a reconciliation between the two apparently opposing forces of ap preciative and of productive activity. A liberal education gives a meaning to work, and makes the difference be tween the drudge and the artist." Society was also asking itself, Miss Nicholson to;d her audience, whether or not it was repaid for bearing the expense of vocational training for Its members. Miss Nicholson believed that .. t a ranniil hv added nenur- 11 was. 1 ... i . - - - ity in health, by security to life by bet ter building conditions.
