4 THE SUNDAY' OREGOMAX,' PORTLAND, XQVEMBER 10. 1907. ANOTHFR SCHEME TO KILL NICHOLAS Outlaws Are Detected Cutting Signal Wires on Rail road. SHOOT GUARD AMD FHAPF WUI WWnU HIVL tOuHft Suspected Purpose to Hold Vp Im perial Train Frustrated by Vigl hince Six Men in Band of Wreckers. ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Nov. 9. What is believed to have been a care fully conceived plot to take the life of Emperor Nicholas while he was on the way from Peterhof to his Winter palace st Tsarskoe-Selo today was frustrated by the vigilance of the guards. Early this morning a guard discovered six men try ing to cut the wire of a semaphore signal at Ligovo station, at a junction of the railroad from Peterhof to Tsarskoe-Selo. The guard was fired upon and wounded. Several officers and guards at the station came to his relief and several volleys were exchanged between the- outlaws and the soldiers, the former escaping without injury. The police profess to be unable to un derstand the attempt to cut the sema phore, as such an act could hardly work any harm to the Imperial train, which was due to puss, a few hours later. It is generally believed, however, that the out laws intended to prevent the use of the signal with the object of bringing the train to a stop at that point. No ar rests have been made.

The celebration of tli .sixty-sixth anniversary of King Ed ward VII's birth was brought to fitting close in the Inauguration of the new. Lord Mayor of London, Sir John C Bell, at Guild Hall tonight. For the first time since the regime of lord Rosebery In the early nineties the former Liberal Prime Minister occupied the post of horror.' The premier. Sir Henry Campbcll-Bannerman was unable to attend the Lord Mayor's baneiuet, owing to the death of his wife, and lxrd Rosebery was In his place to night and delivered the principal speech of the evening in reply to the toast to his majesty's ministers. The day was observed throughout the British Empire with the custom ary military and naval salutvs and dis plays. Ills 'Majesty Is observing the event at Sandrlngham. where the King and Queen of Spain and the Queen of Nor way, in addition to many members of the royal family, are staying. The morning was occupied in receiving- an lmmensu number of congratu latory telegrams, letters and presents from all pnrts of the world, one of the most notable events being the presen tation to .he King of the Cullinan dia mond, the largest known, estimated to be worth $7.i0,000, and donated to his Majesty by the Executive Assembly of the Transvaal as a token of loyalty of the people of that colony. The presentation was made by Sir Richard Solomon, ex-Lieutenant-Governor of the Transvaal, representing the government of the colony, i This afternoon the King and Queen were entertained by the tenantry of Sandringhain at dinner. The great event of the day in Lon don was the Lord Mayor's show, which was a distinct .improvement on the second-rate circus-like parades of past years. The services of a professional pageant maker were vailed in. with the result that he organised a historic pro cession, representing all the King Ed wards from Edward the Confessor to Edward VII. each group forming a distinctive cavalcade, arrayed in cos- il 1 FOR PERSONS CONVALESCENT 4-x ; r :.CCttTtO STOMACHS tuft kva tfTTra yryry.' ,;tvvfm Dr. H.

REMEMBER, THERE'S tumes like those of the period repre sented, the reign of Edward VII being symbolized by a oar entitled "The Har vest of the Peacemaker." It consisted of a real harvest wagon, drawn by eight Shire horses, and bearing the fruits of peace. The route of the procession was elaborately decorated and the. pageant was viewed by enormous throngs of sightseers, "he new Ixird Mayor of London, Sir John C.

In thousands of eases during the past 54 years this has has been proven.

NOTHING LIKE HOSTETTER'S FOR THE STOMACH WIPING OUT TOE LIQUOR IS Prohibition Sentiment Becom ing Strong in Many Parts i of the United States. MAY BE NATIONAL ISSUE South Prominent in Movement To ' wards Enforced Abstinence, but the Movement Is Gaining Rap idly ' In Other Sections.. ; CHICAGO, Nov. 3. Predictions are freely made that if the prohibition of the liquor traffic does noN become a National political, issue within a few short years it will.be because the issue itself will have been eliminated by state legislation rendering the manu facture and sale of liquor impossible. The temperance movement is sweep- GKOWTH OK TK.MPEn.tSfE I ' I. ing the country In an irresistible wave, and soon. It Is assorted, ho whisky will be sold in the United States except in the larger cities, into which the crim inal elements of the country will flock. The trend Is toward enforced absti nence, and the makers of liquor are plainly alarmed. The Prohibition party does not poll a large vote tfut 33,600,000 Americans live in prohibition territory. Party Not Powerful. The Prohibition party has only 20 members of the Legislature in all the states of the Union put together but five of these states. Including Okla homa', have passed total abstinence laws and 34 have local option statutes. The 'Prohibition party has not one member of Congress but the National Liquor Falers' Convention already has organized a strong lobby against the "flnti-C O. I)." law, which would pre vent the shipment of liquor into dry territory by the express companies and Chas. Wieman, Bear Lake, Mich., say3: "I take your Bitters whenever my system is - weak and run down. It invigorates and builds me p better than anything I have ever taken." which has a f?-Ir chance to pass at the coming session. Evidently the prohibition sentiment of the country cannot be measured by the Prohibition party. That this sentiment Is on the in crease there is no question.

Kentucky is famous all over the world as the state of beautiful women, fast horses and fine whisky. Accord ing to the chronic joke of the. comic papers, the entire adult white male population of "Old Kaintuck" consists of whisky- 1 oving, water - fearing "Kun'els." But 1,500,000 out of the 2.230,000 people of Kentucky have chosen to live In dry territory 97 counties out of 119 counties are pro hibition. In the South especially the prohibi tion movement is spreading. Missis sippi almost certainly will put a state anti-liquor law on its books at the next session. Alabama allows no saloons to remain open after 9 P. M. Birmingham, the state's largest city, "the Pittsburg of the South," only the other day voted itself into a dry town. As a result of the Birmingham election, the State Legislature, which convenes in Novem ber, is practically certain to pass a state prohibition law. Negro Question Aids. The movement is particularly strong in the South. because of the negro question. White Southerners. who do the voting have about concluded that they would rather go without whisky themselves than have It and let the negroes have It, too.

REVENUE DISTRICTS JOINED Change Is Outgrowth of Prohibition in Georgia. WASHINGTON. Nov. 9. (Special.) Growth of prohibition is officially ascribed as the cause for the consolida tion of two Internal revenue districts In Tennessee. In a statement given out to day by Commissioner of Internal Revenue Capers announcing the appointment of Robert S. Sharp as collector of the new district of Tennessee and the abolition of the two old districts, attention is directed to the fact that out of 96 counties in the state. 92 are now prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating liquors of all kinds. The prohibition movement, which is making rapid strides In the South, has progressed to the point where Georgia will on January 1 prohibit the sale of In toxicating spirits.
