SHIP SUBSIDIES
SPELL FAILURE
Stimulus to Steamer JJnes Is
Condemned by German
Shipping Magnate,
SHOULD LET NATURE RULE
Hamburg-American line President
Says Britain Succeeded by This
Policy and Wastes Money
on Cunard Subsidy.
BERLIN, June 15. (Special.) To ' the
people In America who believe In gov
ernment subsidy of steamship lines, the
words of Herr Ballln, president of the
Hamburg-America Steamship Company,
to a representative -of the Frankfurter
Zeltung-, will come as a surprise. Speak
ing of the alleged superiority of the Brit
lsh mercantile marine over the German,
Herr Ballin said:
"The British ships consist for the most
part of second-rate tramps, constructed
of the cheapest material and steaming
only at the slowest speed.
Referring; to the subvention of the
Cunard line. Herr Ballln states: "In my
opinion, every highly developed country
should be oontent with those lines of
steamships for which there Is a natural
demand. The British nation acted on
this principle for many years and
achieved her greatest success. It Is only
a few years since England abandoned her
old-established methods, partly owing to
fear of a gigantic shipping- trust creat
ed by Americans and partly owing to
resentment at the progress made by the
German mercantile marine In the Trans
atlantic shipping trade.
"The British government would proba
bly reject any proposal to sacrifice sev
eral millions sterling per annum to es
tablish an express train .service of un
precedented speed between London and
Edinburgh. Nevertheless, Great Britain
considers it advisable to sacrifice many
millions yearly In support of two ships
In the service between Liverpool and
New York, whose speed enables them to
outstrip the liners of the Norddeutsche
Lloyd and the Hamburg-America by one
knot per hour. That appears to be fool
ish, and even not devoid of danger, he
cause experience shows that highly sub
ventioned companies of all nations have
never been able to earn profits."
ROTAL LADIES' FAN'CY WORK
Costly Gewgaws on Exhibition In
Berlin for Charity.
BEWiIN, Jnue IS. (Special.) A most
Interesting exhibition Is now going on In

broideries of all kinds, lovely cushions

by herself in cedar wood and carried out
In poker work and inlaid with Roumanian
crosses In colored stones. She also shows
visitors' book beautifully bound in white
satin and worked richly in gold.
Melita, Grand Duchess Cyril, who was
formerly Princess of Hesse, sends four
marvelously clever oil paintings of flow
ers and two beautifully painted screens.
But the "clou" of the whple exhibition
is the toilet set In white satin worked
with tiny Pompadour rosea and gold spots
belonging to Prinoess Beatrice herself.

peacock satin cloth embroidered with pea
cock a feathers, a blotter and letter box
in gray linen, a large number of worked
photo frames and pompadours.

fit of the "Idun Vereln," which aids la
dies who cannot earn money In any other

beautifully done, and such articles as
costumes, tmderwear, pillows, parasols,
carved wood and oil paintings are for
sale.
MAY DEMOLISH OLD PALACE
Crosby Hall, London, Doomed by
Genius of Improvement.
LONDON, June 15. Special.V-iAmeri-
can tourists may miss after this season
one of the most interesting relics of Old
London Crosby Hall. Blshopsgate, once
the palace of Richard III (when Duke of
Gloucester), afterwards the residence of
the Lord Mayors and of Sir Thomas
Moore.
It Is a splendid specimen of medieval
domestic architecture and was built in
1466. It stands today in the midst of a
busy city district, surrounded by modern
office buildings. -
The ancient pelaoe has been sold by
the freeholder. Alderman Sir Horatio Da
vles, who ran It as a restaurant, and it
may be demolished to make the site for
a new bank.
In Its long history Crosby Hall has
been used for diverse purposes. In the
Civil War It was used as a prison for
Royalists awaiting trial, and afterwards
became a Nonconformist chapel. - It has
also been a warehouse, a temporary of
fice for the East India Company and a
sclentlflo institute. If it is demolished,
parts of the building will probably be
preserved as relics in a ljonaon museum.
COMPROMISE WITH RITUALISTS
Archbishop Proposes Revival of Ed
ward VPs First Prayer Book.
TixtlON. June 15. (Special.) The
struggle between the "High" and "Low''
parties in the cnurcn or. bngiana. wmcu
is mainly a matter of ritual, candles.
UUXOSOl tcowuu, J
by a remarkable scheme of compromise
to ne lain oy Aitnuiouvi, u, ".
bury before hi convocation (the parlia
ment of the ecclesiastical province of
Canterbury). v '
It Is believed that the Archbishop will
propose to reintroduce the use of the
First Prayer Book of Edward VL, which
was in use about 1550. This' liturgy,
framed before the reformation had entire
ly wiped out all the "papist" observanoes
of the church, ( recognises the .use of
candles, vestments and the word? mass,
thus establishing the legality of these
bones of contention.
The use of the older liturgy will be
granted under certain conditions to the
ritualist churches, whose Irregularities
will thus be legalized; but the question of
Incense will remain a stumbling block.
The Archbishop may also make the use of
the Athanasian creed optional.
MIXSTREIi SHOW MAKES HIT
American Artists in Paris Give a
Unique Entertainment.
PARIS, June 15. (Special.) One of the
most successful affairs ever seen in the
American colony here was the "Quartler
Latin" evening held by the American Art
Association, at which nearly every
American artist here, and a great num
ber of French artists, were present.
The programme opened with a real old
fashioned American minstrel show, which
set the French guests, who had never
seen anything like It, wild with enthus
iasm. There is little doubt that minstrel
shows by amateurs will become as much
of a rage now as was the( now forgotten
cakewalk. . -
The show was followed by a "mono
type" party, which also was a great suc
cess and enriched the treasury. One
artist after the other came up with a
crayon or a pencil or some kind of brush
and made a lightning; sketch, landscape,
caricature, or anything else, and the
sketches were put up for auction imme
diately afterward. The auctioneer was
L. C. Hornby, who also sold at very good
prices a number of other sketches made
beforehand.
Members of the Art Association have
Just held another of their amusing and
Informal "shirtwaist dances." and which
unrestrained amusement (without breach
of good manners) was the order of the
day, and evening dress was strictly for
bidden. One gentleman came by mistake
In evening dress and was not allowed ad
mittance, but got over the difficulty by
exchanging clothes temporarily with the
concierge.
WIFE RESCUED FROM . OGRE
Old Romance Re-enacted at Irish
Country House.
LONDON, June 15. (Special.) Quito hi
the style of the old romances, a distressed
lady has been rescued from an ogre's
castle, where she was immured and was
in fear for her life.
The lady was the widow of an Irish
peer and the "ogre" her second husband.
Since her masrlage a few years ago, the
man has shown himself a tyrant, shutting
her in lonely country houses and forbid
ding her to see her friends.
Her relatives planned and carried out
a romantic rescue. Two men motored
up to the bouse and one of them pre-:
tended that he wished to buy one of the
horses. The "ogre" took him round to
the stables and In the meanwhile the
other man rushed into the house and
brought out the lady, with whom he
drove away at the top speed of the
powerful automobile.
The lady was taken to Dublin, where
she found refuge in ' the bouse of a
friend. The husband tracked her to the
very house, but was not allowed to get
any nearer than the doorstep.
The husband has been "squared" with
a 'quarterly allowance, and has been sent
abroad. His wife is now mistress of her
self and her home.
KAISER'S TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Reaches All Parts of Palace Limit
on Ringing Him Up.
(BERLIN, June 15. (Special.) Like the
American business man, the Kaiser be
lieves In the telephone as an aid to busi
ness. (He has Just had a new and elabor
ate private telephone system Installed In
the palace, by which he can communicate
with Chancellor von Buelow, the various
government departments, army headquar
ters, etc. Hitherto his only private tele
phone connected him with the Empress'
apartments.
The Kaiser's telephone receiver is quite
an ornament to his study table, being ele
gantly made of ebony and silver. ,
There is & special code of etiquette gov
erning the use of the Kaiser's telephone.
His Majesty, when ringing any one up,
never announces himself, expecting the
officials to recognize his voice or to infer
from the nature of his message that the
Emperor la speaking-. The only three men
who have the privilege of ringing up the
Kaiser are the Chanoellor, the chief of
the General Staff and the head of the
Kaiser's private cabinet.
LONDON'S BIG BILL FOR TEA
Everybody Drinks It and Caterers
Make Big Dividends.
LONDON. June 15. (Special.) London's
business, it may be said with some truth,
is largely run on cups of tea. There Is
no more profitable trade than the tea
shop business in the City of London,
where the consumption of tea and coffee,
especially tea, is enormous. It has en
abled Lyons & Co., the great catering
firm which has tea-shops everywhere in
London, to pay 40 per cent on its ordinary
shares and to reap a profit of about J3,
500,000. On an average, Lyons opens a
new depot in London every month.
Taking London as a whole, it is
estimated that 2,000,000 cups of tea are
consumed every day at the tea-shops and
cafes. This represents a turn-over of
$800,000, or $25,000,000 a year.
The tea-shop companies find rt difficult
to replace fast enough their waitresses
who leave to get married.
KAISER DISPLAYS HI9 WARES
Advertises Own Pottery by Exhibit In
Store Window.
BERLIN, June 15. (Special.) The
versatile Kaiser is now displaying; his
aptitude for business. . To advertise
his pottery works at Kadinen, where
artlstlo terra cotta and majolica ware
is manufactured, he Is making a spe
cial display at a swell shop in Berlin.
The show, which was advertised in
the semi-official Berlin newspaper, in
cluded artistic tiles, vases, busts, stat
uettes, as well as more useful articles
like buckets and flower-pots. It is to
be sent on a tour of all the chief cities
in Germany.
The statuary was designed by well
known German sculptors .- whom ' the
Kaiser asked to make use of his Ka
dinen clay. This is of very high qual
ity, end the Kaiser is pushing the sale
of Kadinen ware very energetically.
He even acts as his own agent, solicit
ing orders from bis friends for vases
and statuettes.

ings of the Development
League,
STATE TO BE ADVERTISED

Every Commercial Organization
In Oregon; Will Attend Port
land Convention June 20.

The presidents, secretaries and execu
tive chairmen of the different bodies, and
hr".who take an active Interest in
publicity and the advancement of the
state, will meet In the convention room of
the Portland Commercial Club Thursday
evening, June 20.
At least 100 well-known business men of
Portland will act as a reception commit
tee and be present at the Marquam
Grand Theater at 8:45 .A. M., Friday.
June a, on the opening of the convention.
The Commercial Club, Chamber of Com
merce, Board of Trade, Manufacturers' ,
Association and officers of the rose Show
will have special delegations present to
receive the delegates from other parts of
the state.
A unique feature of this reception Is in
the hands of Messrs. T. "W. B. London,
F. B. Beach and S. M. Luders, who ex
pect to have every member of the recent
business men's excursion through Oregon
and into Idaho present to meet those who
were so kind to them on their recent trip.
Badges for the reception committee and
the delegates will be ready In the lobby
of the Marquam, as well as a book of
registration so that a complete record
may be kept of the delegates from the
different points.
Features of Convention.' '
The central feature and dominant
thought of the proceedings of the Oregon
Development League's convention will be
the colonist rates and the system of ad
vertising and co-operation with the rail
roads, through which they can get the
best possible returns, and each and every
one of the commercial and industrial
bodies of the state are making these col
onist rates which begin September 1 and ,
continue until October 31, the mainspring
of their advertising.
In the absence of T. B. Wilcox, presi
dent of the league, Hon. E. L. Smith, of
Hood River, he only ex-president, will
preside.
A rare treat will be given on Friday
evening when it is hoped that the First
Presbyterian Church will be filled to its
capacity with visitors from all sections
of the state to hear an organ recital by
Edgar E. Coursen. All are welcome. '
There will be no admission fee and there
will be room for the delegates and their
friends. ,
As an instace of the character of the
programme, President B. F. Johnson, of
the Benton County Citizens' League, will
tell the visitors from over the state just
how his organization was able to secure
5000 inquiries about the resources of Ben
ton County, and something about the
number of people who have become citi
zens of that country during the past two
years.
President Loggie, of the North Bend.
Chamber of Commerce, will briefly re
late his experience In advertising Oregon
in a trip over the United States, not over
looking the fact that the two largest
towns In the Coos Bay district, Marshfleld
and North Bend, succeeded In raising
$14,000 for advertising purposes.
Good Work at Ashland.
The work done at the depot at Ashland
and the results achieved will be' given in
detail by Captain M. F. Eggleston, pres
ident of the Ashland Commercial Club,
telling as well how they went to work
to get up their all-the-year-round show
of products, and the results of this kind
of exploitation.
A question box will be placed in the
body of the convention giving all an op- '
portunlty to make any inquiry desired,
as to advertising. Every paper delivered
will be discussed, and it Is expected that
the talks by practical advertisers, men
who have made a success of their busi
ness will be so plain and direct that
every man present will be benefited. Ore
gon has as much ability in this line as
any state In the Union, and it Is the pur
pose of the Oregon Development League
convention to develop that talent and
make it possible for this state to be bet
ter known by introducing practical, eco
nomical, common sense ideas, that can
be handled by every community.
Direct and simple methods in advertis
ing is a subject that' can be handled by
one of the speakers and then discussed.
Community advertising that can be se
cured without cost is another feature the
convention will discuss. It is the desire
of the league. In fact, to get the Ideas ot
practical men and give all portions of the
state the benefit of those Ideas.
DRIVEN OFF BY . CRUISER
Armed With Gun Raises Dispute and
' Is Arrested.
COLVILLB, Wash., June IS. H. W.
Jacksbn, a timber cruiser, whose prin
cipal business Is the locating of set
tlers upon Government land, was yes
terday arrested at Northport and
brought to Colvllle. The complaint was
lodged against Jackson by a man .
named Johnson, who' alleges that the
defendant made' an assault upon him
with a deadly weapon with Intent to
kill.
The evidence submitted by Johnson
is to the effect that Jackson brought
a man to the land where Johnson lives,
evidently for the purpose of locating
him there, but departed when he found
the land had been previously claimed
Shortly afterward the defendant re
turned with a gun and drove the com
plaining witness from the land. John
son claims that his brother came to
his rescue and can corroborate his
story.
Jackson waived preliminary hearing
and was permitted to return with the
officer who arrested him to Northport
to secure ball.
