Colonel Laughs When He Is
Told Bryan Will Not Fol
low on His Trail.
POSITIVE FIGHT PLANNED
Opening Speeches Will Outline What
Progressives Intend to Do in
Hope of Putting Oppo
nents on Defensive.
OYSTER BAT, N. Y.. Aug. 12. "At
last I can sleep o'nlirhts." said Colonel
Roosevelt, laughingly, when told Sun
day that the plan tor having William J.
Bryan follow his trail about the coun
try and reply to his speeches had been
abandoned.
The Colonel said he was amused at
the decision of his Democratic oppo
nents that the progressive ticket was
not a menace to them and that It would
not be worth while to have Mr. Bryan
spend his time in this way. "Isn't that
perfectly lovely," he exclaimed.
Opponents to Be Spared.
It is Colonel Roosevelt's purpose to
make a positive fight for the pro
gressive platform. In the opening
, speeches of his campaign he plans to
lay chief emphasis upon what the pro
gressive party proposes to do rather
than to assail his opponents. By making
positive rather than negative argu
ments. Colonel Roosevelt hoped to
place the other candidates on the de
fensive. Colonel Roosevelt was pleased at the
turn taken Saturday in Ohio when
Walter F. Brown and other Roosevelt
members of the Republican state com
mittee resigned to put a progressive
ticket In the field.
Ohio Situation Pleasing.
"It is very gratifying to me." he
said. "It means a straight out fight
In Ohio as in a number of other states,
like New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana
and Massachusetts."
The Colonel was reticent in regard
to the situation in the bailiwick of
hts son-in-law. Representative Long
worth. "It Is reported that Dr. A. O.
Zwlck', of Cincinnati, will run for Con
gress on the progressive ticket against
Mr. Longworth." he was told.
"So I hear." the Colonel replied. "1
have nothing to say."
POLLY FOOLS INSPECTOR
Joe Singer Has Eiperience !n Car
and Hasn't Recovered Yet.
Anyone speaking to Additional Mar
ket inspector Joe Stnger within the
nest few weeks will be regarded with
a stern and questioning eye. The cause
of the searching inquiry in the atti
tude of the Inspector is this:
Singer was going home on a street
car, when he heard across the street
car aisle someone saying: "Hello."
Singer is polite, if nothing else, and he
doffed his hat gravely in the general
direction of the other side of the street
car and said politely: "Good evening."
. . "Who is your friend?" asked a pas
. senger who knew Singer, as he saw the
Additional Market Inspector raising: his
hat.
"I don't know." replied Singer. "It
is someone who knows me. There are
such a lot of people that know me in
this town." '
Just then. ."hello" came, the voice
again, and Singer saw that It was a
parrot t In a cage In possession of a
lady across the aisle. He subsided amid
a roar of laughter from the passengers
on the car.
VANCOUVER WELL PLEASED
Outlook for Abundant Crops Was
Never Better, Say Farmers.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) From all parts of the county
come reports of heavy and abundant
crops, except prunes, which are light
in most places. The rain this year,
being abundant and at the proper
time when crops needed it, and the
good growing weather, were no doubt
the two chief factors in making the
farmers here prosperous.
Prices will be good, and while har
vest bands are not too plentiful. It is
believed that the crops can be taken
rare of all right. This success of the
farmers and fruitgrowers will be re
flected in the tri-county fair to be held
here from September 9 to 15, by the
Clark County Fair Association. The
three counties. Clark, Cowllts and Ska
mania, have Joined in holding a dis
trict fair, this being the first year of
.the arrangements, but. from present in
dications, this year's fair will be at
tended by 50,000 persons.

paper printed in the Yiddish language
and devoted entirely to the interests
of the Jewish race, is to be established

Russian government. He escaped to
America shortly after having been sen

pf having caused the massacre in

SAMUEL HILL RETURNS
Good Roads Enthusiast Home From
Highway Meeting.
Samuel Hill, president af the Home
Telephone and Telegraphompany of
Portland, arrived at the Arlington Club
Sunday noon in - hisc automobile on
his return trip from Los Angeles. Mr.
Hill' lnft here M days ago, shipping
his car to The Dalles and going down
east of the mountains through Wasco.
Shanlko. Prlneville. Bend. La Pine, Fre
mont. Paisley and Lakeview to the
California line.
Everywhere en route he found the
people of Eastern Oregon thoroughly
alive to the Importance of improving
the highways. From Lakeview he went
through to Alturas, California, and
thence down the Pitt River to the Sac
ramento Valley.
Speaking of the scenic beauties of
the country, Mr. Hill said this trip sur
passed any thing that he had even seen
In his numerous travels.
In the three days spent in attending
the Pacific Highway Association meet
ing at the St. Francis Hotel at San
Francisco, Mr. Hill was the guest of
the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce, the Panama-Pacific Exposition
committee, under the presidency of
J. Brisbane Walker, and attended the
Harvard Club dinner given In honor of
President Emeritus Charles W. Eliot,
who landed on his return from a trip
around the world.
In comparison with conditions as they
were 21 years ago, Mr. Hill said Cali
fornia is going through a revolution.
The utilization of waterpower for the
transmission of electricity and putting
water on the land is changing the
whole face of the Sacramento Valley.
Two important things were accom
plished at the Pacific Highway Asso
ciation meeting: one was the raising
of the annual dues to $5.00 per annum

ner. Jealous by birthright offspring
of jealous stock, she carried the doubt
and suspicion along into her married
life. But she was absolutely fajr and
square, until the constant meetings and
unexplained conversations between her
apparently devoted husband and a wo
man friend brought to a climax all the
jealous hates of a generation of Jin
nys. Unfortunately, however, for Jinny she
doesn't know that her husband is a
grand, noble, disinterested friend of
the woman. So Bhe storms and pouts
and coaxes and forgives and whines
and sobs through three scenes until the
wonderful, big strong husband says his
reason is cracked and rushes out,
slamming the door. Then poor little
Jinny, who has read his letter of ap
parent unfaithfulness turns on all the
gas and lies down on the best parlor
rug to expire. The husband, reconsid
ering, hurries back in time to' resusci
tate her.
Miss Countiss has not given us a
daintier, prettier piece of acting since
her arrival. As Jinny, her flashes of
temper are fascinating, her sauclness
Is endearing. Miss Countiss evidences
with intensely dramatic strength her
abilities as an emotional actress.
Sidney Ayres is the husband, John
Austin, and-right splendidly does he
play the role. Physically, Mr. Ayres
Is suited perfectly to the part, and Jin

like him, too. fall meaningly for the
character. Mr. Ayres plays easily and
with pleasant assurance. His big scene

It shall be to make 12 annual trips
from Vancouver. B. C, to Mexico, the
Idea being to have a man skilled in the
art and science of highway building
who can run an automobile, handle a
camera, operate a typewriter and
speak Spanish, and that his reports of
road conditions will be published regu
larly, so that one desiring to make the
trip can be advised as to conditions
down to date.
Returning Mr. Hill came up the west
side of the mountains, and says that
he would not advise anyone to make
the trip, as the road is dangerous in
the extreme and well-nigh Impassable.
There are, however, canyons which can
be improved by convict labor, and when
finished the road will be one or great
scenic beauty.

Intimate Views of Pinchot and
Otber Leaders Who Turned
Aside to Be Presented.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 12. Senator La
Follette, of Wisconsin, is putting
the finishing touches to his auto
biography, which will be issued in
book form in about a month. He has
added three or four chapters to the
story of his political career that ran
for several months In one of the mag
azines. The revised and down-to-date
autobiography will be on the market
in time to be read prior to the Novem
ber elections.
Close friends of the Wisconsin Sen
ator expect some intimate details of
the original union and subsequent
break between the La Follette and
Roosevelt forces, heretofore only
vaguely hinted at. which in their full
ness will be likely to create a lively
sensation.
Some of his friends feel that the Sen
ator Is riding rough shod for a head
long tumble into the Ananias Club, but
this Is not troubling him. That Colo
nel Roosevelt will be brought into the
story In a personal manner Is assured.
Some intimate views regarding Gifford
Pinchot and other leaders who turned
from La Follette to Roosevelt also will
be presented. '

for the electrocution of seven men In
Sing Sing Prison at daybreak tomor
row. This will be the largest number
ever sent to the chair in succession.
The prison authorities hope to accom
plish their task within an hour's time.
Five of the men are foreigners, con
victed of killing Mrs. Mary Hall, who
was found slain and robbed in an iso

September are expected to reveal the
trend of strength of the three Presiden
tial nominees.
In response to numerous letters from
Democratic leaders in Maine, asking
Governor Wilson for his attitude on the
liquor question, which Is a prominent
issue in the campaign. Governor Wilson
has declared in favor of local option
and against having the question made
an issue between political parties. The
Governor's views originally were com
municated to Rev. Thomas B. Shannon
of Newark, N. J., as bearing on the
Issue in New Jersey, but now Governor
Wilson is sending throughout Maine a
copy of the same letter.
Party Action Opposed.
"I am in favor of local option," he
says. "I am a thorough believer in
local self-government and believe that
every self-governing community which
constituted a social unit should have
the right to control the matter of the
regulation or of the withholding of
licenses.
"But when the questions Involved
are social and moral, they are not sus
ceptible of being made parts of a
party programme. Whenever they
have been made the subject matter of
party contests they -have cut the lines
of party organization and party action
athwart, to the utter confusion of po
litical action in every other field. They
have thrown every other question,
however important. Into the back
ground and have made constructive
party action Impossible for long years
together. '
Question Essentially Moral.
"So far as I am myself concerned,
therefore, I can never consent to have
the question of local option made an
issue between political parties in this
state. My judgment is very clear in
this matter. I do not believe that
party programmes of the highest con
sequence to the political life of the
state and of the Nation ought to be
thrust on one side and hopelessly em
barrassed for long periods together by
making a political issue of a great
question which Is essentially non-political,
non-partisan, moral and social

A PLAY of Jealousy is on at the
Hellig this week with Cathrlne
Countess dividing her time between
tears and smiles. Naturally Its a wo
man's play. Every woman in the audi
ence loved Miss Countiss' portrayal of
poor abused Jinny Austin.
The late Clyde Fitch, who under
stands women better, probably than
any other creator of stage femininity
has drawn the complexities of a jeal
ous wife most convincingly in Jinny.
Cathrlne Couness steps In where Fitch
has ended and gives Jinny to us Just
as convincingly and with all the ex
planations of these same complexities
that Fitch discovered.

Old William G. Irwin Sunk to Bot
tom of San Francisco Bay, Bnt
Will Be Raised Today.
SAN FRANCISCOT Aug. 12. With a
fZ0 000 cargo on board a sound vessel
was sunk in the bay of San Francisco
Sunday. The ship wlU later be raised,
but the cargo will be lost.
It was the old brig William G. Ir
win that was scuttled by order of the
owners. For more than a month the
packet has been lying in the harbor
with her cargo of lime smoldering and
all efforts to smother the flames have
been in vain. There was danger that
the flames would eat their way
through the vessel's frame, and as a
last resort it was decided to sink the
craft.
Holes were cut into the hull on both
sides yesterday and in a short time
the brig had settled to the bottom of
the bay. It Is believed that her hull
was not much damaged by the fire
that has been smoldering for so long
st time. The work of raising the brig
probably will begin tomorrow. The
boat is owned by the Tacoma & Roche
Harbor Limo Company.
