8 THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1913. ROOT SAID TO BE WESTERN CHOICE Justice Hughes Believed to Have Best Chance for Pres ident, Writer Finds. BURTON HELD FORMIDABLE Wae-ttington Newspaper Mn Says Progressive Republicans Would Support "Wilson Rather Than Vot for Standpatter, OtEGO.VlAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 14 "Elibu Root is the man the Republicans prefer it they thought he could be elected, and Jus tice Hughes is the one they think would stand the best chance of election." In this way does the chief political -Titer on a Washington newspaper size up the Republican political outlook in the West, as he observed sentiment on a three weeks' trip that took him to the Rocky Mountains and .back over most of the Middle and Western States. H did not gro to the Pacific Coast. This same writer found the Western Democracy solidly for President Wilson. "He is the alpha and omega of his party," he wrote of President Wilson, adding "And daily growing . in favor with Republicans. William J. Bryan haa farted utterly to make any head way against the President, if he ever Intended to." BnrtBs Next t Hua-bea. Speaking of ex-Senator Burton, of Ohio, this writer expresses the opinion that "Mr. Burton is a formidable can didate with Justice Hughes eliminated. He is a positive candidate and in the race." Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, who had toured the West earlier in the Sum mer, was found to have left behind quite a reputation as a "glad -hand" artist, and was frequently mentioned as a man who "looks like a President." Aside from the local indorsement of this, that or the other candidate, it ap pears from this correspondent's dis patches that there is no crystallization of sentiment in the Republican ranks of the West. The Progressives, gener ally, have gone back to the Republican party, but with the determination of fighting within the party for the over throw of the old stand-pat leaders, and for the nomination of a moderately progressive Republican on the National ticket next year. Standpatter Opposed Firmly. There was no evidence of a desire on the part of the returned Progressives to insist on the nomination of one of their number next year. But, he said, the price of nominating one of the old stand-pat leaders would be the loss of the votes of thousands of Progressive Republicans, who would support Wil son at the next election in preference to a died-in-the-wool standpatter. All through the West were indica tions of the activity of press agents of several of the Republican aspirants for Presidential honors. Others who have no press agents at work, and whose names are being favorably con sidered, are being weighed for their known worth and in the light of past public service. And a notable thing about the observations, as recorded, is that the men who appear to be strong est are those who are avowedly not candidates for the nomination. ' Borah-Hurt on Meeting; Interests. There has been much speculation among politicians of late over the con ference held at Boise a short time ago between Senator Borah and ex-Senator Burton. That this conference was one of the main objects which Mr. Burton had in going West has become known, but as to the result or the significance of the conference, nothing appears to be known publicly. That Mr. Burton would like to see the Idaho Senator chosen to head the Re publican ticket is kneavn; indeed, it is known that Mr. Burton more than once urged Senator Borah to become an ac tive candidate for the Republican nom ination. That Senator Borah, In turn, urged Mr. Burton to get into the race Is said to'be a fact, and that each of these Re publican leaders has great respect for the other Is an open secret in Washing ton. Importance must have attached to the conference, for Mr. Burton would hardly have made so long a trip merely to visit his friend for a day. Burton to Stay In Raee. "Mr. Burton is in the Presidential race to stay," said one of his friends, after his return to the East. "There will be no further announcement of his candidacy than has already been made. The public understands that Mr. Burton Is . actively seeking the Republican nomination: it is recognized in Ohio, and that he will be Ohio's first choice is now practically determined. Already Mr. Burton has opened politi cal headquarters in Cleveland. O.. and it Is probable that he may open head quarters in Washington or some other Eastern point early in the coming Win ter. From now until the Republican National Convention assembles, Mr. Bui-ton will work to his utmost for the nomination: his friends will aid him In every way possible, and he has, at this early date, reasonable assurance of sup port from at least four states outside Of-Ohio." hattan, but never rose to the oppor tunity until Friday. Her sister, Mar garet Dooley. 69. had had the same un satisfied yearning. They had read of the white lights of Broadway, of the restaurants, the taxlcabs, -the dancing palaces and all of that. Many years ago they knew of the Bowery and Its wickedness. They secretly longed to take a peep just to see how the other half lived. But the perilous cruise on a ferry boat or journey across Brooklyn bridge held tbera back. Every morning at 8 o'clock for many years they attended mass in' the Church of St. Martin, in Humboldt street. After the mass Friday they agreed that "the devil grappled with them on the church steps, took possession and led them into the wicked City of Manhattan." They wandered through the rain. In nocent of the fact that wickedness usually lurks at night, plodding on and seeking-the sights of which they had heard. They were exhausted and bewildered when, at One Hundred and Fifty-seventh street and Broadway oh, yes; they found Broadway a poliee- inan, who saw they were drenched with the rain and' weary, took charge of them. - FIANCE AND $3000 GONE AUTHORESS SAYS "PHYSICIAN" DB- rRAVDED HEIR. - "GRASS WIDOW RULE" IN Civil Scrvic Examiners Bar Now All Applicants of This Type. WASH1NX5TON. Oct. 15. The rule of th Postoffice Department that "no Krass willows need apply" was adhered to today by the examiners of the Civil Service Commission In examining ap plicant.. This is not a new rule, but It Is being enforced more strongly now than ever before. The PcstoflH-e Department has had a ; regulation lor several years that barred Irom its civil service roll "mar Tied women." "Grass widows" are con sidered married, but "divorced" women- are not. and therefore are eligible. Recently the Postoffice Department and the Civil Service Commission let up on the grass widows somewhat. Women who were separated from their husbands without fsult of their own and were struggling for a living were admitted, but the drawing of the line between those who were grass widows for cause ami those who were grass widows by no fault of their own be came a bone of contention and all grass A'idows were barred. SISTERS LOST ON STREET Aged Brooklyn Pair Never Had Seen - Great White Way. NEW YORK. Oct. 14. Mary. Pooler had lived in Brooklyn all her life of "h years. Spe had been ambitious to make the perilous journey to Man- Diamonds, Servants, Etc., Promised, bnt Trip Across Continent to Wed Is All for Xongnt. NEW YORK, Oat.. 14, Miss Amy Perkins, a beautiful English woman 35 years old. a graduate of the Boston Conservatory-of - Music and' an author ess of note, waited in vain at the rail road station in Pasadena, Cal., last No vember fer Robert E. Clarke, supposed to be a physician of Poughkeepsie, to claim her aa his bride. Her romance shattered, - Miss Perk ins returns to her home at No. 49 East Thirtieth street. . and her attorney, James F.- Dillon, has begun an action to recover J3000 in bonds which she says she advanced to Clarke. She al leges ho sold the bonds to the Seaboard National Bankand the KJngs County Trust Company, and names them as defendants with him. Miss Perkins, who has a comfortable income from the estate of her parents in England, says in her complaint she met Clarke as a physician at her home last October. "I was weak and sick," she asserts, "and Mr. Clarke told me he was single. "He said he was a specialist, di recting the preconceived thoughts of others and controlling their minds in obedience to his will, and applying an infallible remedy to each sickness and disease. "He represented he was of large means, with a beautiful home at Pough keepsie. He represented that he and I were of the same kind and character; that each of us was endowed with the power of communication with the spirit world and fathoming the unsolved mys teries of life: that he knew of his own knowledge by analyzing my mind and personality that each of us was at tracted to the other by the unity and sympathy of the Immutable laws of Nature and of love, the manifestations of affinity,, the union of two souls in one soul-world. "On October 30 last we agreed to' marry. He stated it was immaterial to him where we settled down, whether in Chicago or Pasadena, as his practice as a physician was assured. "He told me that diamonds, 7 a seal skin coat, an auto, a luxurious home, and a retinue of servants, flowers, daily sunshine and the beauty of Pasadena would be mine as his helpmate. He confirmed his protestations of love by giving me a. promissory note for 2500 and making a will giving me all of bis property." Miss Perkins - says she gave Clarke the bonds, and he said he would start immediately for Pasadena to buy and furnish their home. She started for California on November 14. She waited in Pasadena until December 2 witbout receiving any word. When she again met Clarke here, she says, he 'refused to wed her or return her bonds. "Instead." she declares, "he assigned me to a home where 'all hope abandon, ye who enter here.' The poetry of his speech 'and the brilliancy of his prom ises were rainbows of false hope, made as a cloak to conceal his fraud and Im position. Clarke's last address was the Morgan House, Poughkeepsie. but at that hotel all knowledge of htm was denied. CRIME TOLD TO SAVE KIN Italian, Who Killed Countryman in December, Prevents Relative's Trial. PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 14. To save a relative who had been arrested for the crime. Dominlck Dallara admitted in the Court of Oyer and Terminer that It was he who shot and killed Vln cenzo Corbi at Seventh and Water streets last December. A verdict of voluntary manslaughter was rendered by the judge, but Judge McMichaels deferred sentence pending the outcome of a- motion for a new trial. Gregorio Lomanna, who was falsely accused and has been under $5000 ball since his ar rest shortly after the killing, now will be spared the ordeal of facing a jury on a charge of murder. The shooting of Corbi followed a quarrel with Giovanni Renierl, another relative of Dallara. Corbi was beat ing Renieri when the latter called for aid. Dallara responded and Corbi struck him in the head. Dallara left the city after the shooting, but gave himself up about three months later, when he learned of the arrest of Lo manna. He had been hiding near Shenandoah. CHILDREN GRIEVE FOR PET Village Pointer, Attacked by Dis ease, Chloroformed- by Master. NEW ROCHELLE. N. Y Oct. 15. The children of Sutton Manor are mourning the death of. Little Boy, a painter owned by William M. Harding. The dog was the pet of the children for 13 years. When he recently became a victim of a disease Mr. Harding de cided to chloroform the dog. Little Boy was the cause of the or ganization of the New Rochelle Hu mane Society. Five years ago, when Westchester County was quarantined against rabies, the dog had to wear a muzzle. He objected so strongly that Mr. Harding addressed indignation meetings in New Rochelle and later organized the humane society, of which he is the president. The society has erected fountains in this city. Barbara Thaw to Wed. NEW YORK. Oct 13.

Belief That - Fruit Ia Damaged Net Justified, Say Scientists, aa Wild Berries Are Preferred. " WASHINGTON. Oct. 11. That thrushes the group of birds In which are Included robins and bluebirds do a great deal of good and very little harm to agriculture. Is the conclusion reached by investigators of the United States Department of Agriculture who have carefully studied the food habits of these birds. Altogether there are within the limits of the United States 11 species of thrushes. Ave of which are commonly known as robins and bluebirds.- The other six Include the Townsend solitaire, the wood. the veery. the gray-cheek, the olive-back and the hermit thrushes. The robbins and bluebirds nest cloaa to houses, and even the shyest of the other species are content with the seclusion of an acre or two of wood land or swamp. For this -reason the thrushes are among the best-known and most carefully protected of native American birds, and at times their numbers become so great that It Is feared they will do much harm to crops and fruit. The recent Investigations of the Department of Agriculture, how ever, show that there is very little ground for this fear. On the other hand, they destroy such a vast num ber of Insects cch year, that It Is probable that without them many crops would suffer serious damage. Of all the thrushes, the robin Is probably the best known. It has been frequently accused of destroying fruits andberriesf but It has now been ascer tained that this only occurs in regions that are so thickly settled that there Is no wild fruit upon which the robin may subsist. In some years the bird is a great pest in the olive orchards of California, but it is probable that they are driven to the orchards because of the scarcity of native berries at these times. Where wild fruit is available. the birds seem to nrefer this, to tha I cultivated varieties. Like the robin, the bluebird Is very domestic, but unlike the robin. It does not prey upon any cultivated product or work any injury whatsoever to the fruitgrower. During the fruit season, in fact, five-sixths of its food consists of insects. It seems, therefore, that the common practice, of encouraging the bluebird to nest near houses by placing convenient boxes in which it may build. Its home, is thoroughly Justified. $5000 DAMAGES SOUGHT Ex-Servant Sues to Recover for Bite by Pet Dog". NEW YORK, Oct 13. Miss Marie Weber, formerly employed as a maid servant by Mrs. Anna Walter, of Belle Harbor, L. I., has begun action against Mrs. Walter in the Supreme Court, al leging that a French oulldog owned by her onetime mistress attacked her Sep tember 15 at the Walter home. She seeks to recover S5000. The dog had bitten a man and a girl before he at tacked Miss Weber, she asserts, and de spite his alleged viciousness Mrs. Walter refused to have him muzzled in her home. The attack on Miss Weber is said to Ishave occurred in a bedroom of the Walter home, the animal biting her lower lip and nose, scarring her for life. She says' she is in constant fear of hydrophobia. iBSlBSSSSBSBSSSSSSSBSSSKSSSSSSSSBSBSBSSSSSEBSSBtMSiSSRBSBISBiSiSSMSSMSBSSSSSiSMSBSiBSSHaHiWWlSBlBSSSSBBISSVSiSMISBIBSSI IgOfj OUT FANGS ENSNARE RATTLER Snake Strikes Negro's Overalls and Can't Get Loose.

My Name Is Coffee I Fool the People All the people can't be fooled all the time, but I've been pretty successful in fooling part of them, although more and more, I am sorry to say, they are getting wise to my pretensions. How do I fool them? I'll tell you. When scientists say I am not a food, I tell the people that coffee "is a food," and when drunk "with hot milk," "a meal in itself, we may say." Then when the court says "coffee is not a food," I trim my sails to the breeze and tellthe people "there is no reason for supposing that coffee pos sesses any value as a food." Nevertheless, to keep, them coming, I tell them it is a "half food," "an encouraging contribution to human efficiency." And the people some of them fall for it. When noted authorities say the caffeine in coffee "is a poisonous drug" and hinders digestion, I bring for ward some chaps who say it "is not a poison" ; "it is an aid, not a hindrance to digestion." This fools some. But, there's been such a stir against me, especially by Postum, that I am hard put for arguments, so one of the latest things I am telling is : , "Beware of taking coffee with a lot of cream in it." It is the cream, I try to make it appear, and not the drug, caffeine, that makes a combination that "will in time lead to chronic indigestion and stomach, heart, and liver troubles." And some believe me I hope. But I whisper on the side to people who like cream in their coffee, "Coffee is always improved when cream is added to it." You see, I get them coming and going. There's, one safe way with coffee. Quit it, and for a pleasant, delicious, wholesome, nourishing beverage, use Instant Postum America's pure food-drink. Made of wheat, roasted with a bit of wholesome mo lasses, Postum is free from caffeine or any harmful sub-' stance. It points the way to health and comfort and free dom from coffee troubles.
