RAIN PUTS CR1N1P IN
HIGH SCHOOL PLANS
Weeding Out of Ball Men Is
Postponed.
GOOD WEATHER WAITED
League Schedule Will Be Submit
ted to Directors at Meeting on
Tuesday for Approval.
Rain during the past week has
practically put a stop to the pre-sea-son
training of the high sphool and
prep school baseball teama. During
the previous week the teams W' - i
outfitted and a few took to the ball
grounds for limbering up exercises.
The rain with the light flurries of
snow during the past week has kept
the scholastic candidates indoors.
The coaches are anxiously awaiting
the first few days of warm weather
when thev can get their charges out
on the lots and start weeding out
poor material. Until then there will
be no opportunity to get a line on
just what the chances are for cham
pionship teams.
The coaches of the schools met last
week and drew up a tentative sched
ule which they will submit to the di
rectors of the circuit at their meeting
next Tuesday at the Multnomah club.
The proposed schedule calls for six
weeks of baseball with the opening
game on April 16 between Columbia
university and Lincoln and the final
contest of the season on May 28 be
tween Hill Military academy and the
Columbia university.
Only Eight Schools Enter.
At present only eight schools have
entered teams in the league. James
John dropped out this season, as they
did not have enough material at the
school on the peninsula to develop
any sort of a team which could rank
with the other school nines. It is
understood that the Christian Broth
ers Business college desires to enter
the interscholastic league this year
and will make formal application at
the meeting of the board of directors.
If the school is admitted to the cir
cuit, it will mean the drawing up of
another schedule and also the length
ening of the season to another week.
The question of umpires will also
be brought up at the meeting and two
or three to work through the season
will probably be appointed.
Worlds of promising material is
waiting for a chance to work out at
the various schools and from the
early indications the same high stand
ard of Interscholastic baseball will be
dished out to the fan-, that has been
customary in the past.
Jefferson Has Irlffr Men.
Jefferson will have a team this
year that will be composed of letter
men with the exception of a pitcher.
Tho graduation of Itollo Gray, the
blue and gold slabman last season,
leaves the Democrats without an ex
perienced mound man, but every other
station on the team will be well taken
care of by last season's letter. men.
Andrews and Mimnaugh will prob
ably alternate behind the bat; Burton,
Sullivan, I'rek and Youmans, all ex
perienced infleldcrs, wtll be back in
their old positions again this year.
Louis Coulter. Broughton, Buffington
and Hidwell are lettc'rmen candidates
for tho outfield.
. Besides the regulars, Coach Clifford
has a host of new men some of whom
will make tho letterinen step to hold
their positions. At least 12 men have
signified their intention of trying out
for pitcher.

GOLD IS DRAINED AWAY
Effort Made to Stop Iteserve Going
to South America and Orient.
WASHINGTON. The severe drain
on the gold reserves in the United
States caused by the excess of im
ports into this country from British
India, China, the Argentine and other
points in South America and the
orient, necessitates the immediate
stimulation of exports of merchant
dise to these points.
As a result of inquiries made of the
shipping board, the National Foreign
Trade council is informed that there
Is no lack of shipping facilities and
that ships are now going to South
America and the Argentine with less
than full cargoes. It Is furthermore
stated that there is ample tonnage tor
all cargo that is now offering for In
dia; and that the only shortage in
cargo space for China is for lumber
an dthat this will be remedied shortly.
Manufacturers whose European
markets are now restricted by ad
verse exchange, are already taking
advantage of this situation. Exports
to South America and the far east
can be further increased with profit
to the shipper and with benefit to the
financial structure of the United
States.

FATHER'S RING DIVIDED
Judge Awards Half Each to Two
Sons When Dispute Arises.
SAN FRANCISCO. The wisdom of
a. Solomon today has brought peace
between two brothers who each
claimed, in court, a gold ring once
belonging to their dead father. Su
perior Judge Thomas F. Graham,
adopting Solomon's system of ad
judicating disputes, ordered the ring
cut in half and an equal share de
livered to each son. The brothers are
James H. and William P. Hellett. The
ring was valued for sentimental
reasons. Its gold worth was but $5.

NEW YORK. A brand new form of
"eternal triangle" has been discov-
ered. The usual "triangle" suit is for J
breach of promise, "lieart balm," an- r
nulment of marriage or divorce. WltK
those forms every frequenter of court
rooms Is familiar and every reader of
newspapers has perused so many ac
counts of them that nine times out of
ten he gives them only a perfunctory
"once over" and hunts for a story
with a real "kick."
In suing Frederick W. Smyth, a
wealthy florist, for J49.500, Mrs. Mary
E. Werner makes none of the usual
charges. She merely Is insisting that
Smythe fulfill a promise she ears he
made to pay her $50,000 if she would!
marry another man. She loved Smythe
eo deeply, according to her attorney,
that when- he convinced her that he
could not marry her because of fam
ily objections, she agreed to marry a
man of his choice. For that she
claims Smythe promised to pay her
150,000. Smythe gave her 1500 and
then the payjnents stopped, her at
torney says. Smythe excusing his
dereliction by the excuse that money
was "tight." After waiting what she
considered a reasonable time, Mrs.
Werner asked the court to help her
get the remaining. (49,600 due on
Smythe's promise.
Mrs. Werner was Miss Mary Mul
cahey, a trained nurse, when she be
came acquattned with Smythe. The
man Smythe chose for her was a
young clerk in a broker's office. His
name does not figure in the suit and
there Is no intimation that she Is dis
satisfied with her bargain from a
marital standpoint. Apparently her
life with Werner is happy. But she
feels that Smythe, having Initiated
a contract, should be compelled to
fulfill his part of it.
Smythe, being a florist, naturally
used flowers language in his letters,
Mrs. Werner's attorney claims, and
he submits some of the letters in
proof. "My Killarney Rose" is only
one of his names for her. It appears
frequently in the epistles read in
court and became so common In con
versation, the attorney claims, that
"Rose" supplanted "Mary" as Smythe's
designation of the girl.
"As they got better acquainted."
the attorney says. Smythe had his
niece entertain Miss Mulcahey at
week-end parties at his home in New
Ilochelle and In every way led her to
believe that he intended to marry her.
Then when he began to urge family
reasons for not making her his wife,
she loved him so much that she
agreed to marry. Werner, who Smythe
called a "bright and very likable
young man." upon Smythe's promise
to pay her $50,000.
"She found Werner all Smythe
claimed for him, but she does not pro
pose to let Smythe off from the rest
of his contract, if there is any way to
hold him to It."

Henry A. Berliner Builds Success
ful Type or Helicopter Fly
ing Machine.
WASHINGTON. Henry A. Berliner
of this city, a son of Emile E. Ber
liner, noted inventor, "beat dad to It"
by inventing the first successful type
of helicopter flying machine, it was
learned recently.
Emile Berliner has been working
on the problem of helicopter flight for
many years, but It 'remained for the
son to fulfill the ambition and dream
of the father.
Early last summer young Berliner's
father intrusted him with the prob
lem of working out mathematically a
helicopter type of flying machine that
would steadily lift a man and fly for
ward by tilting the machine. Young
Berliner spent several months in con
structing a scientific testing appar
atus and with which he tried various
types of small lifting propellers, sin
gly and in groups. He finally calcu
lated and designed the first helicopter
apparatus that proved successful.
The machine weighs 620 pounds, the
revolving cylinder motor being an 80
horsepower La Rhone. The two pro
pellers are 13 feet in diameter and 10
inches wide. The total lifting power
of the machine Is-nearly 900 pounds.
or 60 pounds per square foot of ef
fective lifting- surface. An airplane
has an average lift of about eight
pounds per square foot.
VIOLINIST BUYS PALACE
Jan Kubelik Acquires Residence in
Vienna for 5,000,000 Crowns.
VIENNA. Jan Kubelik, violinist,
has just purchased a palace for 5,000.-
000 crowns, it is announced. A few
weeks ago the palace was sold for
2,700.000 crowns. This is an example
of the feverish speculation in real
estate which has set in here because
of pending financial legislation, par
ticularly the proposed levy on for
tunes, and also because of the general
ly uncertain state of the country's
finances.
Many large properties in Vienna
are reported to have changed hands
as often as three times in one week.
Palaces have been sold and resold
until their prices have doubled.

WAGE DIFFICULTY IS
PUT UP "TO - WILSON
Rdilroad Labor Reports Con
ference Failure.
EXECUTIVES ARE' RAPPED
Surprise and Regret Expressed
Over .Termination of Negotiations
by Managers' Committee.
WASHINGTON, April 2. The whole
railroad wage controversy was placed
before President Wilson today for the
third time since railroad labor filed
its demands for a general increase in
wages last summer.
In a letter to the president, M. B.
Jewell, chairman of the railway com
mittee, which constitutes the labor
party on the railroad wage board,
said he regretted very much "to ad
vise vou of our failure to obtain any
beneficialresults from these confer
ences."
The employes, Mr. Jewell caid, were
keenly disappointed at the position
taken by therailway executives, com
mittee, which announced last night
a deadlock and the withdrawal of the
railroad members from the confer
ence.
Executives Action Regretted.
Mr. Jewell did not ask the presi
dent to lay the wage controversy be
fore the railroad labor board, which
is to be nominated by the president
as provided in the-transportat ion act,
and on which the public will have
representation.
Attached to Mr. Jewell's letter was
correspondence setting forth the atti
tude of the men and the executive
committee. E. T. Whiter, for the rail
way executives, wrote that the execu
tives did not believe congress con
templated a settlement involving so
great an addition to transportation
costs without the public being repre
sented in the conferences.
Replying to this letter, Mr. Jewell
said he believed the reason given by
the managers for terminating the
negotiations was "not in accord with
our understanding of the law."
Responsibility Is Declined.,
"The attitude of your committee lu
failing to carry out the wishes of the
president of the United States came
as a surprise to us," Mr. Jewell wrote
to Mr. Whiter.
"We understand from this that
your committee has definitely de
clined to assume the responsibility
and perform the duty which is so
clearly desired in the public Interest,
and which the transportation act, as
we -understand it, contemplates:
"That of agreeing in conference
upon rates of pay for railroad em
ployes which are just and reason
able." Union officials reiterated that, at
the request of the president, they
were going to give the transportation
act a fair trial, although they did not
indorse any of its provisions. They
took the position that with the break
ing up of the joint conference the
whole matter was made more difficult,
since the union membership was be
coming restive.
COLUMBUS, O., April 2. Nearly
3000 shopmen employed by the Nor
folk & Western railway at the local
terminal and at Portsmouth struck
today in sympathy with the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks, whose mem
bers went out March 22.
Union officials predict a complete
tie-up of the system within a few
days. Passenger trains still were run
ning, but freight transportation was
badly crippled.
Company officials would make no
statement on the number of employes
out. They stated, however, that the
company was accepting no cars for
connections, which is said to mean
that the freight business is practically
tied up.
ROANOKE, Va., April 2. Railroad
and union officials held several con
ferences today and tonight regarding
the strike on the Norfolk & Western
railway, but what progress was made
toward settlement of demands that
two non-union clerks be discharged
for an alleged insult to a woman em
ploye was not disclosed.
Trains continued in operation with
regular crews. Company officials
said they had received no official
notification that the trainmen woul
ground that unsafe conditions pre
vailed. NORFOLK, Va., April 2. Electri
cians, boilermakers and machlntsfs In
the employ of the Norfolk & Western
Railway company at Norfolk walked
out today. The three crafts were the
first in Norfolk to follow the clerks'
brotherhood which struck March 22.
CHICAGO," April 2. Differences
over working agreements virtually
were settled tonight at a meeting of
representatives of the brotherhood of
railway trainmen and officers of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail
road, it was said by a conferee after
an executive meeting.
A new set of working rules would
be submitted and signed tomorrow, it
was said, and the referendum taken
by members, of the brotherhood em
ployed by the Rock Island lines dis
regarded. A. M. Whitney, vice-president, and
H. P. Gallagher, general chairman,
represented the brotherhood at the
meeting tupld following the canvass
ing of the strike vote.
STRIKERS BREAK CP MEETING
Protest Against Walkout on St.
-Paul Road Disregarded.
CHICAGO, April 2. A meeting of
"loyal" members of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, called today
by A. F. Whitney, vice-president of
the organization, was broken up by
striking switchmen, whose walkout
last night crippled freight service on
the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul
railroad. H. P. Gallagher, chairman
of the brotherhood, was ejected.
Mr. Whitney said the strike was
unauthorized and urged the men to
return to work. Demands for 11 an
hour for foremen, 95 cents for switch
men, time and one-half for overtime
and double time after eight hours
overtime, were made by the 659 strik
ing switchmen. The strikers asserted
they resigned Individually.
SEED CORN TO BE SCARCE
Commercial Crop Fails to Give
Proper Germination Tests.
DENVER. All signs now point to
an 'acute seed corn situation this
spring. A great deal of the corn that
was thought would make good seed
is making a very low germination
test. Seed corn that germinates less
than, 85 per cent should be discarded
except in case of inability to get any
other seed corn. Then the farmer
should make individual ear teats and
save only the corn from the high
testing ears.
The profit on a field of corn Is often
taken off before it is planted by
planting corn of low germination.
Testing corn can be done by any one.
A boy of 12 can do it u well as a
man. A home-made tester is suggest
ed by A. E. McClymonds of- the Colo
rado Agricultural college and may be
made by putting dirt in a box and
stretching a marked muslin cloth
over the box, making the squares on
cloth two inches square, soak the
dirt up well with warm water, place
corn in marks, six kernels two from
tips, two from middle and two from
butt of the ear. It is usually best to
make the box large enough to con
tain a cloth large enough to contain
a cloth marked with 100 squares. This
will take a box 21 by 21 inches. Soak
an old comfort in . warm water and
place over the corn, shove the box
into the corner behind the kitchen
stove, leave it six to eight days, take
cover off and count the number of
kernels germinated on each square.
This will tell you which ears are fit
to plant.
If the corn has been shelled a uni
form sample can be taken, placed in
a box, and by counting the number
of germinated kernels the per cent of
germination can be calculated.
AGED MOTHER HONORED
MEDALS AWARDED WOMEN OF
FORMER CONFEDERACY.
Bat 2 0 Entitled to Decoration Are

10 March 14.
ATLANTA, Ga. The words Confed
erate mothers carry with them a singular-
appeal, not only with the peo
ple of the. south, but the people of
the north as well, for they, too, know
the story of the devotion, the loyalty
and the bravery of these old women
who now are, in some instances, over
K0 years ojd.
There Is a movement, carried for
ward by Mrs. A. McD. Wilson, president-general
of the Southern Confed
erate Memorial association, the oldest
patriotic women's organization in the
world as far as is known, to locate
and record the names of the Confed
erate mothers and to give each one of
them a gold bar pin, inscribed with
the monogram of the Southern Con
federate Memorial asosciatlon.
When the Confederate mother ac
tivity was taken up it was believed
that only two or three Confederate
mothers were in existence, the Con
federate mothers being those who
have living Confederate veteran sons
who fought in the war of the '60s.
There are 20 of these mothers located
in nine states, not' one being under 90
years of age and several have reached
100 years and more.
The oldest Confederate mother
found to date Is Mrs. Amanda S." S.
Boswell of Brookhaven, Miss., who cel
ebrated her 104th birthday on March
14 at the home of her great-granddaughter
and whose youngest son, a
veteran of 77 years, was with her on
the occasion, making the trip from
Dallas, Tex., to Brookhaven.
Especial Interest centered around
the Confederate mothers. Inasmuch as
Mrs. Sarah A. Hemphill of Athens, the
mother of Colonel Robert A. Hemp
hill of Atlanta, was the first Georgia
Confederate mother located. Mrs.
Hemphill was presented with a gold
bar pin by Mrs. A. McD. Wilson, the
presentation having taken place in
Lucy Cobb Institute chapel and the
pin given with appropriate tribute by
Miss Mildred Rutherford, president of
the Laura Rutherford chapter. United
Daughters of the Confederacy, with
which the Ladles' Memorial associa
tion at Athens has affiliated.
The first bar pin presented was
given to Mrs. Mercedes Brent at Pen
sacola. Fla.. last Christmas day. Both
Mrs. Hemphill and Mrs. Brent, who
was over 90 years old, have since died.
'ANCIENTS' HOP WITH EASE
Tliough Aged 80 and Over, Veter
ans Are Nimble Dancers.
SAWTEDLE, Cal. The presence of
the soldiers' home here and the fact
that scores of married veterans of
various wars live in little homes
nearby has brought Sawtelle distlnc
tion as having the largest proportion
of elderly people in its population of
any California town. Because they
are old, however, is not a condition
limiting activity.
"The Old Folks' Dancing club" has
long held sway here, with frequent
hops at which numerous veterans
aged 80 and upward have disported
themselves with matrons of like age,
or sometimes with more youthful
partners; while the Ladles of the
Grand Army of the Republic have just
announced a series of "daylight
dances" to be held the first and third
Friday afternoons of each month.
The civil war veterans and their
ladies are not the only dancers, here.
The Sawtelle Woman's club is giving
a series of dances; the Spanish War
Veterans of the local camp are direct
ing a similar series, and the chamber
of commerce has announced that com
munity dances for everybody are to
be features of civic life in future.
"We've mostly got blue uniforms
and white whiskers," remarked one
dancer, "and by wearing red gerani
ums we make em patriotic affairs."
COAL TAX IS PLANNED
Fnnds to Be "Utilized for By
product Research.
CALGARY, Alta. By taxing every
ton of coal mined in Alberta, it is
proposed to raise a sufficient fund to
permit the carrying on of extensive
researches into the by-products of the
coals of this province. Whether the
coal operators will be willing to give
their assistance to the project, which
is fathered by the Alberta Industrial
association, remains to be seen, but
some of the producers who have been
approached have expressed themselves
favorably toward the project, which
would undoubtedly bring them rich
returns if it worked out as its pro
genitors expect.
Scores of thousands of tons of coal
are wasted at the mies every year
which could be utilized if the by
products could be turned Into com
mereial values, and much more coal
will be mined if this result is
achieved. There are many mines that
would be opened up and developed tot
their by-products alone if researches
proved successful.

GOLD TO PAY IS READY
Raw Materials Wait Shipment in
Baltic Ports; Locomotives
and Cars Wanted.
COPENHAGEN, April 2. A Rus
sian trade commission, headed by M.
Nogln, minister of commerce In the
Lenlne cabinet, and M. Rosovsky, ac
companied by 24 experts in trade and
engineering, arrived here from Mos
cow today. M. Nogin said that after a
short stay in Denmark it was the in
tention of the commission to proceed
to London and perhaps later to the
United States.
It was the aim, M. Nogin said, to
get in touch with merchants and
manufacturers In allied countries and
start trade between them and Rus
sia as soon as possible.
"Ships already are loading at Petro
grad with flax, hemp, bristles and
other commodities," said M. Nogin,
"and will sail as soon aa the ice
breaks.. But our main raw materials.
Including grain, cannot be exported
until we have an improved transport
system.
"We purpose to buy locomotives and
rolling stock, paying for them to
some extent in gold."
M. Nogln said there were many mil
lions of pounds of grain In Russia,
but that the peasants demanded in
return for it goods and agricultural
Implements. He declared that the
delegation contemplates offering con
cessions to foreigners for the estab
lishment of manufactories in the min

EXODUS ALARMS MEXICO
Halt on Labor Emigration to U. S.
Held Imperative.
MEXICO CITY. A front-page arti
cle in Excelsior has the following
headline:
"The emigration of laborers must
be stopped regardless of cost."
The article says emigration must
be checked before planting time in
Mexico or the situation in the agri
cultural states will be grave. "Whole
caravans" of Mexican laborers are
reported walking to the Texas border
from far Interior points.
The Mexican press has recently put
heavy accent on reports of bad treat
ment of Mexicans in the United
States. In this article the bad treat
ment Is taken for granted but the
statement Is made that "whether re
ceived well or not the Mexican labor
ers find employment in the United
States."
The two concluding paragraphs of
the article state that Mexico annually
loser many thousands of "her sons"
through emigration to the - United
States because the larger part of
those who go there do not return ex
cept to visit or to assist other rela
tives to leave. They become accus
tomed to a manner of living in the
United States far more comfortable
than that of Mexico.
In the same Issue of El Excelsior
appears a dispatch from Guadalajara
saying the emigration of laborers to
the United States is impressive. The
dispatch says that In one week 84
laborers left one small town named
San Diego de Alexandria.
STATE BACKS IRRIGATION
Arizona Has Almost Partnership
Interest In Land.
PHOENIX, Ariz. The state of Ari
zona has almost a partnership inter
est with the owners1 of 15,000 acres in
Apache county under the Lyman dam
According to Governor Campbell,
when the state gets through financ
ing the construction, of the dam and
water distribution system, it will
have an interest in the land amount
ing to about 70 an acre. The land
owners will repay the state the
money advanced for reclamation by
the state land board.
Governor Campbell, on returning
from a visit to the project, said the
2000 acres ready for irrigation this
