PERSONALITY IS PLEASING Anne Shannon Monroe Says Banker Has Kare Girt of Making Finan- cial Operations Understood by Lay Intelligence. RT ANNE SHANNON" MONROE. OREGON EXPOSITION .BUILDING, Fan Francisco, Sept. 26. A delightful visitor to the Oregon building- Satur day was ex-Ambassador Herrick, who is in San 1'rancisco attending- the ru ral credits conference, who has made eight or 10 speeches on this subject during: his stay, and who will go on to Portland expressly to keep his en pagement to speak there on the same eubject. Mr. Herrick came of his own accord, unheralded, to see what Oregon had to show at the exposition. Of course, he was quickly discovered. but he made a tour of the "tree house," he visited all the counties' booths, he tried our loganberry juice and pro nounced it delicious, he examined the immense Medford peaches and wanted to know of Mr. Frobach what we did to stop them growing and he got a rirst-hand idea of Oregon at the ex position. ' Plea for Rural Credit Made. "It is all wonderful," he said. "Ore pon is a wonderful state, but this great Eastern Oregon section, which 1 hear is being opened up to railroads, must have possible farms for thou sands of possible farmers; you of Ore gon, of. all people, must realize what it would mean to your state alone 1o give the rancher the same oppor tunity to borrow money on his land and capitalize his business that any other business man has. Rural credits would put Oregon squarely on her feet." This might be called Mr. Herrick's hobby, if so big and splendid and wide-spreading a solution of the back-to-the-land movement as rural credits can be called by so light a name. He is heart and soul for it as he Fays himself. "obsessed by it" he makes the subject quite understand able, too, in his speeches, and this is a comfort, for we are accustomed to being quite mystified when a bank er undertakes to make his operations understood. Mr. Herrick has a delightful per sonality, a wonderful memory for names and faces and a keen sense of responsibility for his word and en gagements. It is easy to understand his success as a diplomat. Telephone Flag on Oregon Pole. Another delightful visitor was Thomas D. Lockwood, author of many telephone engineering books, an au thority on this subject, now well up in his seventies, but a real "live wire," as a telephone man should be. Small and slender and dark and alert, with a brain like a dynamo and speech as ready, he was easily the ruling genius of the Telephone Pioneer Association of America in its National convention just closed. An interesting feature was the hoisting of the association pennant, m hicli has been with them for years find has been hoisted at every session and in many localities, from the top of the Oregon flag pole, the tallest flag pole in the world. Another delightful visitor to the ex position was ex-Covernor Francis, of Missouri. All Missouri and every one seemed from Missouri on his day turned out to greet him in the Court of Abundance, where the special cere monies were held. We thought of ex Governor Francis being rather an old man when he was president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition; but he seems to have lopped off the years that have intervened, and today his voice is as clear and ringing, his personality as dominant and his gracious, all-inclusive warmth of manner as ardently southern as ever. Corn Incident Repeated. The "three grains of corn" episode was repeated touchingly today in tho visit and request of a timid but per sistent Japanese. He had made a care ful round of the grasses and grains that are hung in wall-covering sheafs at the south side of the building, and then he approached an attendant, and though he could speak little English, he made his wishes known. ' He wantel three grains of wheat to send home to his father, who is a great farmer in Japan, so he could plant it for seed to get a start of that variety just three grains. The attendant took out his knife and cut him three heads, and the Japanese -went away bowing his most gracious thanks. ZEPPELIN PILOT TELLS (Continued From First Page.) one of the latest and biggest TT boats, at a dinner, and had the first inter view with a submarine commander dur ing the present war. Hansen had Just come back from a cruise during which he had sunk five steamers. o Zeppelins Yet Lost. Today I was so fortunate as to have the opportunity to talk with the man in command of the latest aerial at tack on London. Lieutenant-Commander Mathy is the commander of the L , one of Count Zeppelin's latest, biggest and fastest cruisers of Ger many's aerial fleet, the value of which as a scouting craft for the navy has been much underestimated abroad, since fighting craft have, as Count Zeppelin told me in February, by no means reached their final develop ment. That' despite their size, they are not so easily hit and brought down as has been the general impression is evident from the fact that the Ger mans have lost no Zeppelins in any of tluir numerous attacks on England. Attacking under cover of the night, coming and going with great speed, and disappearing within a few minutes, they are like a vision in the night. The aeroplanes of England's flying corps have so far proved no defense against the Zeppelin raids. Hundred Air Voyages Made. Ma tli y is a man of perhaps 34, with b closely-cropped head, which gives him the appearance of being entirely bald, with a smooth face and a figure as slender and supple as a young wom en's. He was formerly the commander of a destroyer in the torpedo flotilla. Like the officers of German submarines 1 have met. he made the impression of being all nerves, and those nerves of steel. Mathy and his Zeppelin have partici pated in every attack made on England from the air. His last, which was on the downtown Cityof London, was his "century Zeppelin- run." his 100th voy aare in the air, counting his training and trial trips, he told me. "What I call luck has played a big part with me," he declared. And Mathy has been lucky. Despite something which I cannot mention, but which every superstitious believer in omens and signs would regard as a very mag net of disaster and ill-luck, Mathy has been lucky. The day before its destruction he was on the Zeppelin which I saw burnea and destroyed in the air above Johan nisthal two years ago, and only missed that trip"by some chance. He was on a navy Zeppelin the day before- the craft was wrecked in a storm in the North Sea off Denmark two years ago. and in some way missed the voyage on the fatal day. Attack on London Described. As nothing in this war has appealed more to the popular imagination and awakened greater interest than the war undersea and in the air, I asked Mathy to tell me about his last attack on London. "I will, so far as I can without dis closing what might touch upon military secrets, and that is pretty much every thing of interest about a Zeppelin," was his reply. Even the secrets of Ger many's famous submarines are Hot guarded as closely and jealously as the eppenns. I have been aboard one of the largest u Doats, looked through the periscope and went through her from stem to stern, but I have never been able to get within gunshot of one of the Zep pelin harbors. Even the officers and crew of the war Zeppelins have been careruiiy Kept away from the corre spondents, or rather the corresDondents from them. I promised Mathy I wouldn't asK mm any questions to get him into trouDie with the Admiralty. "It was my 100th ZeDnelin cruise. counting my training trips, and I was much Interested in it because of that, and wondered whether I would safely rouna out my century," said the com mander of the L . "I had taken my Zeppelin safely to England and back several times, and learned something of vme on eacn trip applicable to the next time. Kirst Trip One of "Dlncorery." ine hrst time I took my Zeppelin lu r,iiKiana was something akin to dis covering a new country, and my im pressions were much more vivid than now. It and some of the following inps were more or less experimental. We had much t learn. Despite all our practice and training, it was new sort of warfare, in which we had more or less to feel our wav. stuHv aerial strategy and aerial tactics, learn iu locdie in me darkness the military points and objects we desired to at- tacK. "We had to study the aerial currents above the North Sea and England. What we have done to England so far is Dy no means all we can do, now that we have learned many things we aia not Know and that it was neces sary to know. "The Zeppelins had to be their own scouts and information gatherers. Now, for tho first time, my instructions were to attack certain points In the down town City of -London, such as railway .-n.a.Liuiis, Dnuges ana industrial estab lishments. oinci orders wefe given to dn everything possible to avoid hitting St. Paul's and the other churches, the museums ana palaces, Westminster Ab bey, the Parliament houses and, of niurse, me residential districts. Deaths of Innocents Regretted. "I want to say there is not an offi cer or a man in the aerial fl.t mh doesn't feel it as deeply when he learns that women and children and other non combatants were killed as does the gunner or commander of big gun wnen he hears his shell doesn't strike exactly where he wanted it to and re- suited in tne death or injury of non combatants. "In fact, I had much rather stand on me Dnuge of a torpedo-boat fieht ing ship against ship than attack a city irom tne air, although not because the danger to me is much greater in me latter case. "Let me say that the Zeppeliivvoyage to England and back depends largely on the weather conditions. If they are lavomuie. il can oe made in less than a night by our new fast cruisers. But you want to know about my last attack on London. "The weather stations and meteoro logical balloons attached to the aerial service reported favorable conditions. The colder the weather the more we can carry. The temperature was quite cool, so we started with a full maga zine of bombs, which constitute Zeppe lin ammunition and are not much un- iiKe tne shells fired from ship or siege i iiin:i,.wnii;n, aiter all, come through the air, too. Chief Impression Is of Speed. "Soon were were out over the North Sea and moving upon England through the air at a lively speed with a favor able wind. Back of us, the receding shores of Germany; below us the white capped billows. the North Sea, like a watery desert in motion, stretching out as far as you can see without a sign of life, except a single fishing craft." "What is your principal emotion or impression up there on the bridge of your Zeppelin?" I asked the man who makes war from the air. "My chief impression is of speed, and then we get very cold. Our new Zep pelins are very much faster than a ship, and I always think of the great difference in the wind pressure as com pared with when I stood on the bridge of my ship. "Formerly, when the commander's gondola, on the older Zeppelins, was entirely open this was even more marked. Our new ones have some pro tection in the form of a wind-break. But it is intensely cold 3000 to 5000 or more feet in the air moving at the speed we do. There is no chance to move about much, of course, and no way of warming us. We dress like the pilots of aeroplanes and wear thick felt boots. Despite that, we get cold, very cold, especially on the last trip. Zeppelins Are Teetotalers. "We ate before we started, and then occasionally took a pull at a thermos bottle of hot coffee or tea." "Nothing stronger. Commander?" I broke in. "No absolutely nothing stronger, Zep pelins have neither bar, kitchen, pan try nor dining-room. Zeppelins are tee totalers. We have got to have clear heads up there, and cool, steady nerves, nerves which spirits don't necessarily furnish. And we can't while away our time between firing bombs for we call it firing, too and dodging shrapnel, by smoking. "A Zeppelin is the strictest Sunday school Institution, no drinks and no smokes. Each man's pocket is his pan try, and he carries a snack. I take a bottle of cognac along and some first aid material, in case someone gets hit." "No doctor?" "No doctor. If a shrapnel ball hits any of us, we bandage him the best we can, give him a drink of cognac and he has to wait till we get back. If we were brought down I guess there would be doctors there if we were to need any, which would be unlikely." BAND SUPPORT VOTE ISSUE Marshfield to Pass Also on Issuing $35,000 Bonds for City Hall. MARSH FIELD, Or.. Sept. 28. tSpe cial.) After a long controversy in the City Council over the question of sup porting the Coos Bay Concert Band, the matter was arranged to be submitted to a vote of the electors at the December annual election. The people's commit tee asks for an appropriation of $150 a month. The electors will also vote in an ad visory manner relative to their wishes on issuing bonds to the amount of i-5,-000 for a new city hall. A charter amendment, providing for nomination by petition for city candidates, thus changing the primary scheme, will ba voted on as well. ARTILLERY IS SENT TO REPEL BANDITS Big Company of Mexican Out laws Threatens to Cross ' Border on Raid. SITUATION AGAIN .ACUTE Colonel Blocksom Says If Carranza Does Xot Control Situation, Amer icans Will Be Compelled to Disregard Boundary. WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 Conditions along the Mexican boundary in the Brownsville district again have become acute, according to messages to the War Department today from Major General Funston, and a battery of mountain artillery has been dispatched to Progresso to prevent a raid by 500 bandits who threaten to cross into American territory. Colonel Blocksom. in command of the troops near Pro gresso, reported through General Funs ton that the bandits seemed to consti tute an independent band. "If Carranza does not stop these bandits." telegraphed Colonel Blocksom, "I believe we shall soon be compelled to follow them across." Information placed in the hands of the Department of Justice by T. R. Beltran. Carranza- consul at San Antonio. Tex., bears out to an extent Colonel Blocksom's report that the ban dits seem independent of Carranza. Mr. Beltran contends that former follow ers of Jesus Flores Magon. leader of the socialist movement, have organized on the border and are working sur reptitiously to foment trouble between the United States and Mexico. There are intimations that outside influences are supplying funds for the alleged plot, and Department of Justice offi cials have began an investigation. Officials here think the Carranza of ficials themselves are not aware of the extent to which the alleged intrigues have been carried and are hoping re lief for the situation will come through measures of the Carranza ofifcers. rOMKXTOK IS SOCIALIST Effort Made, to Arouse Ignorant Mexicans Against Americans. LOS ANGELES. Sept. 28. Jesus Ma gon. who was named today by T. R. Beltram, Carranza Consul at San An tonio, as the fomentor of trouble among Mexicans on the boarder, is the proprietDr of a small printing plant here. He issued a Socialist paper. It is charged by Carranza adherents that Magon is backed by several former high officials under Porfirio Diaz, who reside here. These informants maintain that Ma gon is publishing circulars in Sanish which are sent to the border and dis tributed among Mexicans by his agents. The articles are said to be inflamma tory and calculated to rouse the igno rant classes against the United States under the so-called San Diego plan, which has the recapturing of Texas from the United States as its objective Magon was indicted in 1911 with a brother and three other men for viola tion of the neutrality laws. He was then believed to be a high official un der the Diaz administration. He es caped capture. After spending a year in the county here, Ricardo Magon. brother of Jesus Magon, together wit hEnrique Magon. a cousin; Libretti Rivera and Salmo FIgueroa. were all ennvlrteri .Tni s 1912. and sentenced to 23 months each at McNeil Island, Wash. JOHN D..JR..LAYS PLANS IXDl STRIAL BETTER SI EXT DIS CUSSED WITH AIDES. Mlueo-nrner Says He Spent Day "Work Ins; Like Dog" Other Business Affairs Also Discussed. DENVER. Sept. 28. "Working li'ic a dog" was John D. Rockefeller. Jr.'s, characterization tonight of the way he had spent the day at the offices of th Colorado Fuel & Iron Company. Ac a series of conferences with company of ficers, considerable progress was made toward formulating plans for indus trial oetterment, growing out of Mr. Rockefeller's recent in snectinn n f Southern Colorado mining properties. Not only men stationed at the gen eral headquarters here, but those of the southern coal field, were called into consultation with the young million aire. It is understood the conference dealt with plans for Industrial improve ment and also with various business and financial subjects connected with the capitalist's operations. -Mr. Rockefeller before dinner char tered a sight-seeing automobile and took his party for a drive over the city. MR. BALDWIN NOT TO RUN Secretary to representative SInnott Tlianks Friends for Interest. THE DALLES. Or.. Sent. 2S rsrn.. cial.) "No. I probably shall not be a candidate for Secretary of State before the Republican primaries next Mav." said Edward D. Baldwin, who came here today irom Portland for a conference with his chief. Representative Sinnott, ana to attend the Wasco County Fair and Rodeo. When asked his reasons for the decision to keep his hat out of the ring, Mr. Baldwin 'said: 'I think the situation speaks for It self. I have nothing more than this to say at present, except that I most deeply appreciate the kind things that many of my newspaper and other friends over the state have said to me and about me in connection with this high position." Mr. Baldwin had been assured strong support in this section of the state. He was reared in The Dalles. He was sec retary to the late Representative Ellis four years and has served as Repre sentative Sinnott's secretary three years. Vancouver Club to IJeorganize. ' VANCOUVER. Wash.. Sept. 28.

HIGH COURT DEFINES USURY Interest Increase Allowed In Retir ing Debt Berore 'Maturity. OLYMPI A. Wash., Sept. 28. (Spe cial.) Charges on a loan in excess of 12 per cent are usury, under the Wash ington statutes, only when some act of the person lending the money is responsible for their imposition, the Su preme Court has decided in a case ap pealed from Whatcom County. When the borrower takes advantage of an opportunity to retire his indebted ness before its maturity, the lender is within his rights in making an addi tional charge, and the borrower can not plead the usury statute, although this charge may make the total Interest exceed 12 per cent.

If you have the taint in your bload yov may have rheumatism whenever th exciting cause stirs it to action. C"ol; weather and dampness are exciting causes of rheumatism. They excite 1 action something already in the bloori." something that you must get rid of it" you would be free from rheumatism. What this something is, nobody knows. Not very long t-go it was thought to be uric acid. Many doctors now think it is a microscopic organism of a specific bacillus, but they cannot tind the bacillus. It is a known fact that in rheuma tism the blood becomes thin rapidly. , that building up the blood relieves the rheumatism and that there w-SlV-.be no return of the rheumatism as long as the condition of the blood is main tained.
