Japanese merchants in New York City of wealth and standing are sponsors for the s-tatemont that Japan has sent the first divisions of an army of S00.000 to 7 50,000 to Kussla.

It is said, are veterans cf the recent campaign against Tsing Tau or the war with Russia. They are equipped perfectly and amply supplied with ammunition. An extraordinary large proportion of the fighting force is made up of artillery corps, serving guns of large caliber which are also being transported by railroad, with ample ammunition, according to report, lor the Japanese. are to help the Rus sians try to stop the German drive toward Petrograd.

WILLIAM GOLDMAN, the well known insurance man. has a namesake, and he is as proud of it as if the youngster were his own sora, There is sufficient cause for it Here it is: A few -weeks ago Mr. Goldman, in company with a party of friends, was motoring along a country road near Portland. They came upon a woman at the roadside in evident distress. Mr. Goldman ordered the machine stopped. The women in. the party soon learned the woman's secret. Promptly Mr. Goldman drove to the nearest home and procured a mattress and some bedclothing. With the as sistance of some men of the neighbor hood the woman -was carried to her home only a short distance away. There her child was born in comfort Mr. Goldman learned that the woman was the mother of seven other chil dren and that her husband was out of work. So he drove promptly to Portland. secured the best physician that he could find and ordered a wagonload of groceries Bent out to the house of the 'new-born babe. Hence the name William Goldman. But Mr. Goldman will not be sat isfied until he learns the identity of a person who came along the same road a few minutes before him and failed to heed the woman's cry for assistance. e Senator Chamberlain tells a good one on Senator "Bill'" Stone, of Missouri, who visited Portland a few weeks ago. It was the closing days of a long drawn out session before Senator Money, of Mississippi, retired. The Mississippi Senator at that time was in ill health and suffering from partial blindness. He was anxious for a prompt adjournment. , A bill of minor importance was un and Senator Stone arose to speak. Sen ator Money's patience became exhaust ed. He proceeded to the cloakroom and stretched himself out on a couch. In the dimly lighted room where he was unable to see more than a fe Inches in front of him on account of his railing eyesight, the Southern Sen ator soliloquized thus: "That crazy BUI Stone! He's ta-lklne ugaiifc: 1 1 never Knows when to stoo. I bet he's drunk. That crazy Bill Stone " and so on for quite a few min utes. Presently he saw a strange object a yiimr near tne neaa or his couch. He put out his hand and felt the form of a man. "Who is this sitting beside me?" de. manded Senator Money, feebly. "Why. It's 'that crazy Bill Stone' that you have been cussing so loudly," re plied the stranger. Senator Stone thought it such a good joke on himself that he told it to his colleagues. The newspaper boys got hold of It. and soon the story appeared in the St. Loula and Kansas City pa pers. But the reporters. It seems, merely quoted Senator Money's soliloquy, with out comment, neglecting to explain whether Senator Stone was drunk or not. So the impression got out in Mis souri that he really was drunk. It required a testimonial from Sena tor Money to square the Missouri Sen ator with his constituents. . It is necessary for the cartoonists to revise their conception of Colonel Roosevelt. , They persist in drawing him with a heavy black cord dangling from his eyeglasses and attached to his vest. Now the Colonel has forsaken his nose glasses, cord and all. When he was hero the last time he wore glasses incased In a heavy steel frame, with steel hooks fastening behind his ears. It is reported that he had a suspi cion that the black cord made him re semble a mollycoddle When ex-President Taft was leav ing the Multnomah Hotel two weeks ago . today to go to the Press Club breakfast at the Benson Hotel, the members of the Salt Lake City base ball team, in uniform, were Just climb-j lng into their bus that was to take them to the hall park. Instantly the,y recognized the bulky form of the ex-President. They drew up in a line across the sidewalk re moved their caps, and let out one loud lusty yell: "Hello, Bill Taft!" The ex-President smiled and waved his hand, shouting back: 'Hello, boys. Hit 'er on the nose." I NEWS HELD OP BY BAND WOES MINGLE WITH JOYS OF COX CERT IX EDITORIAL SANCTUM. Dozen Newspapers in Northwest Walt Wben Music Causes "Break" on Associated Press Wires. The O.-W. R. & N. Band, on its way to the peach show and demonstration, provided entertainment for the down town crowds Saturday night and almost gave a special concert for the mem bers of the editorial staff of The Ore gonian. They almost stopped the wheels of progress, too In fact they did for a few minutes, and likewise held up the news that was being ticked to a dozen or more newspapers in Ore gon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and California. The band" crept Into the editorial sanctum of The Oregonian and opened on the loud pedal with "I'm on My Way to Dublin Bay," much to the apprecia tion and entertainment of the reporters and editors, who threw pencils to one side and prepared to enjoy the concert. But there were six or eight telegraph operators who were working at high speed taking a shorthand code tele graphic report, which was fairly being pushed -over the wires." The news on Saturday nights is always heavy and the wire operators work at top speed. In fact whenever the Associated Press operators have to "break" the steady stream of news they stop progress in a great many papers in this section. But "Dublin Bay" was too much as against the delicate tic'.:s on the tele graph instrument and just as the re porters and editors were beginning to keep time with their feet or some of them on their typewriters the band, in blissful ignorance of the havoc it was creating with news reports, was forced to halt abruptly and had to be hustled away, much to the regret of those who could stop long enough to hear the lively airs. The band paraded the streets, how ever, on Its way to the peach show and the airs trickled up the eight stories and into the editorial room while the telegraph operators were explaining to the score or more of other offices throughout the Pacific Coast, Just what caused the "break."

"I like em better, too," asserted the cook. 'I hated those hobble skirts." "These hobble skirts looked nrettv full to me,' remarked old Jim, the aisnwasner. The remark was follower! hv com plete silence on the part of the women in in3 assembly. - Music softer than the petals from blown roses was dispensed at the po lice station at 2:30 o'clock last Friday morning by Pete Larson. & North End musician, who had been arrested for being on the street after the curfew hour. Nobody suggested that the music was softer than rose petals, but LAraon looked as if he thought it was, so the kindly Jailers grinned and let him continue. "The Turkey in the Straw" was the tune Larson played as he rode up in the Jail elevator. "The Irish Washer woman" guided his steps across the floor to Jailer Epps' desk. Several dance melodies, accompanied by the proper steps, served to lead Larson to the entrance to the women's quarters. Larson stopped and stared at . the door of the matron's office. Care fully he spelled out the word "matron" on the panel. Larson assumed a gallant attitude. The neck of his violin raised to a debonnaire tilt. He threw his head back with an air of chivalrous sup plication. From the battered old fid dle he began to tease the strains of The Merry Widow." The policemen laughed. The jailers iooKea on in amusement. But Larson paid no attention. Softly as a Spanish cavalier he continued the serenade un til Mrs. Sampson, roused by the music, opened the door. Mrs. Sampson bowed, smiled, and retired behind the sacred portals again. A brief snatch from an Irish reel, a few steps more on the cement floor of the jail, and Larson, separated from his violin, was on his - way to the drunk cell. Rarely does civic fidelity and loyalty reach the degree of that demonstrated by Miss Lily Gray, librarian of The Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash., in Portland, last week." Miss Gray, who, by the way, was the first woman to graduate from the University of Chi cago, stopped in Portland en route from the San Francisco Exposition to her home in Spokane. Her train was to leave the Union depot at 6:30 o'clock that night. She is in the habit of doing things promptly but not before promptness demands action. She dpes not believe in dillydalling, so she saw all of Portland that the time allowed before starting to the train. One of her friends asked her along about 6 o'clock what time it was. Miss Gray casually offered her watch, and it said 8:05 o'clock. "It's 6:05 and I have just 25 minutes to catch my train." Miss Gray solilo quized. "Why, Miss Gray, your watch has stopped." her friend reminded her. "That isn't the right time. You didn't wind it last night, and it hasn't run since this morning." "Chicago time," smiled back Miss Gray. And, in due time she explained that while she had broken almost all ties that bound her to Chicago since leaving it eight or ten years ago. she "just couldn't" give up Chicago time. So, year in and year out. Miss Gray never allows her watch to stop, and since she set it on that memorable day some years ago when she left the Windy City and came West, she has always figured back two hours in taking note of the hours. She travels once a year quite ex tensively, sometimes going East and sometimes coming to Portland and San Francisco. When she is on the At lantic Coast she figures ahead. When she is out hero she figures back. When she reaches Chicago and goes out to the University to browse around she doesn't have to figure. " 'You see. I can always think and figure out what my friends are .doing at just the time I am thinking of them." further explained Miss Gray. eral T. M. Anderson, by resolution, would provide for future trouble oy making the public schools the training quarters for the military instruction of the rising generation.

"A man Is a fool and a moral degen erate if he works for wages," declared Frank Coulter, speaking at the regular meeting of the Single Tax Association at the Central Library Saturday night Mr. Coulter declared that single tax would liberate the laborers so that they jrould not have to work for wages. Te speaker ald that it would have been a misfortune if the single tax measure which was submitted to the people at the last election had passed because, he declared, it would not have worked.

NO ADMISSIONS SIGNED Police Say Xegroes Did Xot Give Signed Confessions and Men Aver Officers Put State ments Into Their Mouths. PROVIDENCE. R. I.. Sept. 5. A com plete repudiation of the alleged con fessions of three negro accomplices gave a new turn Saturday to the case of Mrs. Elizabeth Tiffany Blair Mohr, at whose door the police had laid the death of her husband. Dr. C Franklin Mohr. Chief of Police Thomas W. Bobbins, when informed that the men had de nied their guilt, admitted that so far as he knew none of them had ever signed a confession. The only signed statement obtained from them was one from Healls In which he expressed the opinion that the motive for the crime was robbery. . Mrs. Mohr, from the first, has stoutly maintained her innocence and ex plained the murder by saying that Brown, one of the negroes, had a grudge against the doctor since his discharge from his employment at the Mohr home, and that robbery probably was an added incentive for the killing. Today's repudiation of the alleged confessions was made voluntarily by the three men and without the knowl edge of counsel. Summarized, their declaration was that they were wholly innocent of the crime, as was- also Mrs. Mohr. so far as they knew; that they would be able to prove alibis; any alleged admissions were made under duress while they were subject to "third degree" methods; the police had put in their mouths statements to which they assented in anger or derision and it was common report that Dr. Mohr had enemies. Mrs. Mohr. who is out on hnil nH the three men, who are locked up, wiil have a hearing on September 16. The penalty for first degree murder In this state is life imprisonment. BRAZIL GETS NEW BIBLE Book Will Proxe Great Aid to Lan guage as Well ns Morals. A new translation of the Bible into Por tuguese has Just been comnletad. T?r- Kil. not Portugal, Is the country where the larger part of this edition will be sent. Brazil has the greatest of Por tuguese-speaking populations, though it usea to De said that 10,000 users of that language lived around Honolulu, a citv in Uncle Sam's territory. Maybe they all know English now. Aside from its moral values, the Bible is particularly needed In Brazil, it Is said, as an aid to preserving the stand ard forms of language. As a matter of history, no book has exerted an equal influence in lands where English is read and spoken. The phraseology of the King James version is Inter woven through modern literature. Its general use on this continent, where new conditions and a strong tendency to slang would make for rapid change, has had a steadying effect on our vo cabulary. It isn't likely that the classic beauty of the English Bible has been paralleled In Portugese. But even a respectable rendering of a book which has proved its universal appeal In every land will help in more ways than one. Brazil is growing rapidly. Every means should be used to preserve its moral and lin guistic standards. NEW YORK NEGRO IS 115 Woman, Though Bent by Age, Is Heavy-Set and Active. NEW YORK, Aug. 30 Probably the oldest person in New York state is Mrs. Susan Glllis. born in slavery on the plantation of Colonel John Peterson, near Petersburg, Va.. 115 years ago according to figures she insists are cor rect. The aged woman, remarkable for her attainments at this great age, lives at 571 Classon avenue with a daughter, who is 84 years old. and a granddaughter, who 'is 42.

Law Providing for Organisation of As sociations In All Communities In Oregon Is Sought. SALEM. Or.. Sept. 5 (Special.) In an effort to curtail fire losses Harvey Wells, State Insurance Commissioner, has issued a bulletin giving the various origins of fires and means of preven tion. Mr. Wells urges that the way to ob tain cheap insurance is to stop the enor mous fire losses. Now the non-burning, careful business man. he says, pays for the careless, indifferent, reckless build er and occupant. He declares: "The fire loss in Oregon, most of which may be termed 'fire waste, Is greater in proportion to the popula tion than In most states. In 1914 the value of property destroyed is esti mated at more than J4, 000,000 and the Insurance companies paid $2,736,000 of that amount." The Commissioner insists that the state should enact a fire marshal law, and that there should be fire-prevention associations in all communities. The duties of these organizations, he says, should be to create sentiment for solid buildings, clean premises, fire pre vention laws, and ordinances governing flues, electric wiring, etc "We have our efficient fire depart ments In the cities to attack fires," con tinues the bulletin. "Now, after we have built and organized these depart ments to their maximum strength and efficiency, what is our next step tn combatting the Immense fire waste? Why should we not have a department known as 'Fire Preventers'?" Mr. Wells estimates that J2.000.000 of property is destroyed and 500 'lives lost yearly . through the careless use of matches. Rubbish and ashes are given as other causes of fires. Careful use of matches, kerosene, the cleaning of cellars, closets and attics are urged as means of fire prevention. The bulletin is filled with useful in formation regarding the preventing and extinguishing of fires, and Mr. Wells will give it as wide distribution as possible.

An or der to have all troops on the Texas border ready to move at any moment was issued from department headquar ters following the departure of Maior William Hay for Brownsville.

At about the same time, Frank Drew, a rancher, and oue of his cowboys, while riding fence about three miles below Cavazos Ciose ing, were fired on. "A detachment of Troop G was Imme diately sent to the Drew ranch and an other from Troop H left for Mission. With the remaining men About 120 in number I hurried to Cavazos crossing, approaching the river from a direction other than that of the usual trail. While not yet in sight of the river, be cause of the brush, we were fired on by Mexicans from across the river, a lively volley coming our way, but for tunately passing over our beads. We returned the fire briskly and finally stopped the Mexicans, although occa sional sniping continued since. "We had only one casualty. Trooper Salvlni, of G, being shot in the hip.
