THEN DOMAINS WILL SPLIT German Organ Gloats Over Probable Dissolution of Austro-Hungarlan Union and Bids for the Throne Xor the Kaiser's Son. BERLIN. Juno 22. (Special.) I have very reliable Information from Vienna that Emperor Francis Joseph's state of health gives cause for great alarm and that he Is In fact not expected to live many months longer. His sudden departure from Buda-Pest Is ascribed to this fact, which is carefully kept secret from the Austrian and Ger man press. Not a word has been said in any of the German papers, but that something has leaked out Is evident from an article tn the Berlin Tageblatt, which deals with the all-Important questmen: "What will be the future of the Austrian empire when Emperor Francis Joseph dies," which , is being widely discussed here today The paper predicts that the union be tween Austria and Hungary will be dis solved with or without bloodshed. It paints the future of Hungary as an Inde pendent state in the darkest colors and prophesies all kinds of troubles which may involve several European states in war. Russia, the Tageblatt says, will proba bly not Interfere, being too busy with its own revolution, and for the same reason Roumanla will probably hold aloof. Servla. on the other side, is apt to cause trouble to take revenge for the loss of Bosnia and' because a war might strengthen King Peter's dynasty, If he snouid be successful. A coalition of Roumania, Bulgaria and Servla is possible and apt to create con siderable disturbance, which might call for Intervention on the part of the powers. Between the lines one may read that only by making a son of the Kaiser. King of Hungary may a great European war be avoided. TWO DREAMS ARE VANISHED .Morgan's Wealth. Secures Fainting Which Figured in Baltic Revolt. BERLIN, June 22. (Special.) J. Pler- pont Morgan is said to have entered into negotiations for the purchase of a Wag nerian painting by the famous German artist Kaulbach, now in the possession of a Russian Baroness von Breummen, but which was once the property of the mad King Ludwlg of Bavaria. The history of the painting Is exceed ingly romantic. King Ludwlg was a great admirer of Lohengrin, to such an extent that he was often seen walking in the park surrounding his palace, wearing "Lohengrin" armor, for wearing this cos tume he was painted seated in swanboat by Kaulbach. This painting the King presented to one of his favorites, the ac tress Lulse Redecke, who refused an of fer of $10,000 for It. When she married a Russian Baron, Bhe took it with her to Livonia where it narrowly escaped de struction at the hands of revolutionary peasants, who stormed the baronial cas tle. Moved by the tears of the beautiful Baroness, who said that she valued the painting more than her life: the leader of the peasants gave it to ber with the words: "Keep It In memory of the First Presi dent of the Llvonian republic." He has since then been shot by the Ruslan authorities without seeing his dream of a republic realized and the Baroness, who is in need of money, is about to give up the painting to the American Croesus. KAISER TO ADVISE THE CZAR Two Sovereigns Will Meet on Visit to Copenhagen. BERLIN, June 22. (Special.) On July 3, Emperor William and the Empress will leave Berlin to visit King Frederick of Denmark. The fact that the Kaiser will meet at the Danish court the Czar of Russia as well as the Dowager Empress gives rise to the belief that the two Em perors will confer upon political Questions of the utmost importance. , It is well known that the Czar has re peatedly sought the advice of the Kaiser in questions concerning the governing of his unruly Empire and until some six months ago couriers passed almost dally between Potsdam and Tsarskoe Selo, but recently this way of exchanging personal communications was given up because of the adverse criticism of the press, that complained because Germany was being used to "do boot black service for the Czar." Undoubtedly the Austro-Hungarlan question also will come up for discussion. Leaving Copenhagen the Kaiser may go with King Haakon to Norway, where he wants to pay a visit to BJornstJerne BJornson, whose country seat, the estate of Aulestad. was recently devastated by the break of a dam. MAKES WAR OX NUDE IN ART Father Ignatius Says England Is Re turning to Paganism. LONDON. June 22. (Special.) Father Ignatius, Prior of Llanthony Abbey, has Joined in the fierce contro versy that has been raging over the question of the propriety or otherwise of living statuary. Preaching In Lon don, he attacked not the "living statues" themselves, but their example, the nude in art. which he denounced as a sign that England is returning to paganism. "The day is drawing near," said Father Ignatius, "when we shall find England a pagan country. Our art In our morals, our pictures and our statues Is being re-paganized. "I bave not a word to say against those who appear nude in public They say they do It In the Interests of art and I must confess It must be a very great sacrifice for them to do It for art. Bjit it that is art, & a a Christian, take hold of it and pull a razor across Its throat. "Living statuary is all right so long as it does not degrade an English woman. I cannot say a Christian woman, for England Is not Christian. What I am warring against is a new national evil. "The nude in art is diabolical and pagan, and you must have nothing to do with It. Because it Is a thing one shrinks from discussing, shall I keep silent? No; the question Is one of na tional modesty. "There is no high art in stripping clothes off. Nude art ought to be swept away from the walls of the Academy, and It ought to be swept out of the country." NEW KIND OF ELECTRIC LIGHT Made of Incandescent Air and Has Breathing Apparatus. LONDON. June 21. (Special.) An en tirely new and wonderful form of elec tric light is now used to Illumine the courtyard of the Savoy Hotel, the great American rendezvous in London. It Is the invention of a young American, Mc Farlan Mqpre, who has perfected his system after 12 years work. The light, which resembles daylight in color, is produced by making rarefied air incandescent by an alternating current of electricity. The air Is contained in a vacuum tube, 200 feet long, with Its ends meeting In a terminal box containing a motor-generator. This tube glows with a strong, steady light, but It would flicker and go out If the air was not constantly renewed by an automatic valve, by which it prac tically "breathes." When the resistance in the tube is low ered by the exhaustion of the air by elec trical action, a minute cone of porous carbon is lifted automatically from the mercury in which It rests, and through this porous cone fresh air passes. As soon as the interior resistance Is re stored, the cone sinks again, and the covering of mercury prevents the entry of more air. Thus the supply of air Is kept up. by this novel breathing apparatus. RECORD PRICE FOR OLD BOOKS American Collector Tries to Dupli cate Shakespeare Collections. LOjnDON. June 22. (Special.) The boom in old books reached a climax at a sale at Sotheby's auction room, when record prices for Shakespeariana were reached. An almost unique quarto of the first part of "Henry VI," printed in 1594. was bought for an American col lector by Mr. Albert Jackson for $9550. This American collector is credited with a determination to form a library uniting replicas of the gems of the British Museum and the Bodleian Li brary, Oxford. Some years ago he se cured the best of a group of quartos found at Great Missenden in 1905, in cluding the quarto "Richard III," which belonged to Admiral Sir William Penn, father of the founder of Pennsylvania, for which he paid J8750. The agent for t'-' wealthy bibliophile also secured for ,0o0 a copy of the rare play, "AnVn of Faversham," at tributed to Shakespeare, and published in 1592. It is merely a black-letter pamphlet of 37 leaves, but it was sold at the rate of SI 63.50 a leaf. Twelve thousand dollars was paid for a Shake speare first folio at this record sale, in which the total of prices was nearly $70,000. PRINCESS .IS. BREAKING DOWN Victoria of England Ordered Off on Another Yachting Cruise. LONDON, f June 22. (Special.) King Edward and' Queen Alexandria are deep ly anxious about the health of their daughter. Princess Victoria, which is go ing from bad to worse. Although she has only Just returned from a prolonged tour abroad, Bhe has not received much benefit, and is not to remain in England for any long period. Princess Victoria will soon start for an other yachting cruise, Joining her sister, the Princess Royal (Duchess of Fife), who herself has recently recovered from a severe illness. The Duke of Fife has chartered the Duke of Sutherland's steam yacht, and the royal party will make a prolonged cruise around the picturesque coast of Northern Scotland during the Summer. The - further trip for Princess Victoria was ordered after she bad been examined by two specialists on her return from her Continental tour with the Queen, but ex treme 'precautions have been taken to prevent the true seriousness of her state of health becoming generally known. An alarming fact about her health is that she has lately developed epileptic symptoms. GLADDENS ARTIST'S HEART Lav. son Buys Ten Pictures of Fon talnehleau Scenery. PARIS, June 21. (Special.) Thomas W. Lawson, wbo has been making a tour of Europe purchasing a good deal of etat uatry and numbers of pictures in Rome, has Just made one young painter's heart glad by acting as the enlightened patron to his budding genius. On his way to Paris by automobile, Mr. Lawson lunched at Fontainebleau at a hotel where there were a number of pretty studies of the forest and neigh borhood hanging on the walls. Mr. Law son Inquired about these works and found they were the work of a New York young artist named Laurence Mazzanovitch, who has a studio at Moret sur Lolng, near the forest. The young artist was actually on the premises and was sent for, and to his astonishment the well-known financier bought one after another of the pictures at the price asked by the artist until he had secured ten, and left Mazzano vitch blushing with pride and pleasure. The pictures are very much admired by Mr. Lawson's friends In Paris. France Has a Carrie Nation. Paris, June 22. (Special.) At Amiens M. Noel Vlttal has Just carried out a feat reminding one of the exploits in bar smashing of the notorious Mrs. Carry Nation, and which if she should happen to see It might be calculated to bring a blush of shame to her cheek. M. Vlttal. like the American lady, is an anti-drink apostle. Entering a freight car he saw a number of barrels of wine, which so infuriated his teetotal mind that be was determined to destroy It all at once. He therefore with astonishing en ergy rolled the barrels one by one off the car, and the 700 litres of wine poured out on to the ground. Taken before the police commissary, M. Vlttal explained that he was an anti drink advocate and that every time "I have a chance to practice what I preach I do so and deal a blow at the fiend al cohol. I would rather see them smashed and poured on the ground than have my fellow-creatures besot themselves -with LEAGUE WILL ASK '5 HELP mm Memorial Urges Wall Street Magnate to Build Rail ,1. roads in Oregon, ALL MEMBERS WILL SIGH Representatives of Development Or ganization Will Also Seek Per sonal Interviews Discuss Got- . eminent Reclamation Work, . Mi' A personal Interview with E. H. HarH man is desired by the members of the Oregon Development League, should the railroad magnate carry out his plan to visit the Pacific Coast. Testerday at the concluding session of the League this was voted the most direct means of bringing to the attention of Mr. Harrl man the need of extending railroad con struction in this state, not enly for as sistance In developing the state, but al a Judicious Investment for the railroad magnate and his associates. At yesterdays meeting of the Develop ment League. E. L. Smith, of Hood River, vice-president of the League, put through a motion directing the president and secretary to prepare a memorial to Mr. Harriman setting forth the natural resources and the undeveloped area of Southeastern and Southwestern Oregon, and the extreme necessity for a speedy extension of railroads into those sections. The memorial is to be signed by the offi cers and representatives of the 72 organi zations of the League. This action, suggested by Mr. Smith, is to be followed up by a personal interview by the members of the different commer cial bodies with Mr. Harriman when he visits the Coast. Vice-President Smith said the coming meeting of the National Irrigation Con gress at Sacramento will be most impor tant, particularly to Oregon. He referred to unsuccessful attempts to divert the large fund which has been secured from the semi-arid states for other purposes and suggested that a strong protest should be made before the Congress against any measure looking to diverting any portion of the Reclamation Fund for any other purpose than the reclamation of arid lands. He also declared that an appeal should be made through the press of the state and all commercial bodies urging that as large a delegation as pos sible be sent from Oregon to the Sacra mento Congress. ! A committee consisting of E. L. Smith, of Hood River; A. Bennett. Irrigon; H. B. Thielsen. Salem; M. F. Ksgleston, Ashland, and J. H. Blower. Falls City, was named to prepare a suitable resolu tion embodying the points raised by Sir. Smith. This committee reported the fol lowing resolution which was adopted unanimously: . Whereas, The coming meeting of the National Irrigation Congress, to be held at Sacramento, California, in September, and of which the Governor of Oregon is president. Is an event of paramount im portance to the State of Oregon, and Whereas, This state contributes more to the Reclamation Fund than any other state In the Union, and is for that and other reasons more deeply Interested in the subject of Irrigation than any other etate, be It Resolved, That the Oregon Development League, embracing 72 commercial and in dustrial bodies, appeal through the spe cial committee whose names appear be low to the press of the state and to the officers and active workers of all of these organizations to do all in their power to get out' a full delegation from all parts of the state to the September session of the Congress; and Resolved, That we desire to express our appreciation to the press of the state In advance for giving this event the highest publicity and to present to the people of the state the Importance of the Irri gation Congress and the need of thor ough representation, and Resolved, That we urge each and every one of the commercial bodies In the state not to postpone the naming of delegates, but to attend to this at once, and before naming such delegates to be sure to se cure their promises to be In attendance, and Resolved, That the Oregon Development League views with disfavor any attempt to divert any portion of the Reclamation ..Fund for any purpose or to any other lo cation than the states wherein the fund has been gathered. Advertise Colonist Rates. ' ''" The importance of a thorough ex ploitation of the colonist rates during September and October was fully dis cussed, and a motion by Mr. Thielsen, of Salem, was adopted, directing Sec retary Richardson to draft a suitable resolution to be placed before the sohools, the churches, the newspapers and the people generally, urging the extensive advertising of the rates. A vote of thanks was tendered the management of the Marquam Theater for the use of the building as a place of meeting, and to the newspapers of the state for their assistance in fur thering the work of the league. Mr. Thielsen. delegate from the Cap ital City, said that no other meeting of the Development League had been of so much benefit to him. The talks on practical advertising and the Inter change of ideas, he said, had been most instructive. Salem, he explained, had been undecided as to the best methods of advertising,' but since at tending the convention he felt that he bad obtained a good idea as to how to proceed with his future work. W. W. Wiley, Mayor of Tillamook, spoke of the benefit he had derived from the convention, and detailed the method pursued by his city and county in advertising the resources of Tilla mook. He explained that the most ef fective work In this direction had been done by the public school of Spruce, where every child had been furnished with Oregon Development League let terheads and also with Tillamook De velopment League stationery, on which to write to acquaintances In other states. As a result, he said, the school population had been doubled In the last six months, eight new families having located in the district as a di rect consequence of the correspondence of the pupils. Delegates from all sections of the state heartily Indorsed the movement In Portland for organizing a permanent livestock association. How Ashland Advertises. Captain M. F. Eggleston, president of the Ashland Commercial Club, out lined Ashland's way of advertising, dwelling especially on the exhibit that tCocluflJ jparar42-.
