i THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAJN", PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 9, 1908. THE HOTEL CLERK ON THE CLERGY IRVING S. COBB Ten Minutes Between You And the Path T tune 1 o THERE had been some sort of a meeting for women In the Red Room or the Blue Room or the Red-White-and-Blue Room of the Ho tel St. Reckless, and when it was over those present wont flocking through the lobby chattering freely. For the most part, they were clothed In ad vance copies of the new modes gowns which a layman might have said it would take a contortionist to get into and a surgical operation to got out of. At the tall of the procession came the Main Attraction. This was a middle aged person of a clerical aspect, but not too clerical. The severity of his ministerial garb was tempered by a vasalined smilo and a saucy twirk of 'the larboard side-whisker. This gen tleman was being convoyed by eight or ten of the most spectacular of the lady attendants. He wore a smile like a gash in an August watermelon. "U'ot's been doin'?" inquired the House tetective, as he watched the de parting throng. "The Rev. Hyphen J. Sidewinders, D. D., has been making an informal talk to a Mothers' Congress on the subject, How to Remove Moles From the Hu man Face Without Excavating,' or some such congenial topic," explained the Hotel Clerk. "That's him going along yonder with the escort of early Spring fashions. I guess maybe he ain't the original Ecclesiastical Kid. "Larry, if I had my life to live over again, I'd be one of those Sporting Extra clergymen. When I was a kid I had different ideas. In those ancient days the preacher was a party in a white cravat who always looked like It gave him deep pain when he smiled. But we've broadened out since then. HAULED OVER GOALS Governor of Cameroons Forges Girl's Title. ENOBLES BERLIN BARMAID Takes Her to West Africa and In troduces Her as Cousin in Soci ety, but Fraud Is Discovered and Charges Are Preferred. BERLIN, Feb. S. (Special.) The Supreme Disciplinary Court for Colo nial Officials has pronounced definitive judgment in the case of Jeskow von Puttkammer, ex-Governor of the Cam eroons. Defendant, who belongs to one of the most distinguished Prussian families, and is closely allied with the Bismarcks, took out with him to West Africa as lady companion a gar dener's daughter, named Ecke, whoso acquaintance he had made in a Berlin bar.- In the Cameroons he introduced this lady to what passes there for so ciety as his cousin. When she left he made her. out a pass in the name of Haroness von Eckhardtstein, and a charge of forgery in connection with this was the gravest of the accusations made against him. He was also charged with favoring n particular company's operations in the colony and with interference with the course of justice, which was seen in a letter which he wrote to the judge-, impressing upon nim the in ferior value of native evidence. The minor disciplinary court at Potsdam did not take a very serious view of the case, and contented itself with or , dering a reprimand and a fine of J1200. Against this judgment both the Colo nial Office, which had pleaded for dis missal from the service, and Herr von Puttkammer himself, appealed. Fresh evidence was laid before the court of highest instance with regard to the ex-Governor's "cousin," who. It was shown, was an experienced and accomplished adventuress with a re markable career behind her of fleecing gilded youth. Several . of fleers swore to their belief that- she was entitled to the predicate of nobility, as did also the defendant himself, who added that ho was not aware that her name was not Von Eckhardtstein till she was fined at Dresden for calling herself so after her return to Germany. The court was not long in coming to the view that the first Judgment had been too severe, and, remitting the fine. It ordered Hcrr von Puttkammer to be ns4T 'Tf TAIL OF THE! The hurried civilization of a. great city, which produced the self-rising opera hat and the taximeter cab, is respon sible for the preacher who plays for the headlines among which yon depart ing party is a conspicuous example. "Back home In the tall rye a preach er didn't have much to do. All he had to be was a combination of trained nurse, bill collector and reception com mittee on weekdays, and on Sundays an illustrated tlmecard to a warmer climate. He had to sit up with the sick and down with the deacons, both of which being hard jobs to fill with out mlscuing. He was reasonably cer tain of getting half his salary in real money, and the rest in produce and dry fodder and moldered prunes and red woolen wristlets' and other com modities peculiar to parsonage pound parties. . "You knew just by the way he wore his whiskers whether he was a con ductor on the Eleventh Hour Accom modation of the Methodist Road or of the Congregational Limited or the Presbyterian Royal Blue or the Baptist Tank Line, with through service Via the Water Gap. "I guess there may still be a few of the orthodox XXX-brand-for-family-use preacher in the back wards of the Red Timothy country, but there's not many of him under the Main Top. That kind wouldn't make such an awful hit here. His congregation on emerging would look like the grand jury going to dinner. "In the feverish nietropolish, Larry, the ecclesiastical pippin with the' largest displacement is the one who knows the newest parlor tricks. His tonnage is based on his repertoire. A preacher who merely . reprimanded for his indiscre tion in connection with Fraulein Ecke. LAND RESTORED TO ENTRY Iarge Areas Will Soon Be Thrown Open. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash Feb. 8. On January 9 President Roose velt signed a proclamation eliminating from the Blue Mountain National forest approximately 130,000 acres of land which is found to be of a character not suited to forestry purposes. The bulk of this land lies in the north central part of Grant County, and the balance in southern Umatilla and the northern extremity of Harney. The date when this land will be thrown open to entry has not been fixed, and may not be an nounced for a month or more. Most of the land eliminated is open grass land, but there are some few iso lated tracts - containing good timber. The latter will be subject to entry solely under the timber and stone act.

CITY ACTS AS UNDERTAKER Range wf Prices Runs From $11 to $3000, According to Means of Deceased's Family and Desire for Foini). PARIS. Feb. 8. (Special.) There is another deficit to be liquidated in Paris as a result of the law of separation of church and state. Before the law was passed the whole funeral service of Paris was In charge of the churches. They not merely provided for the religious cere monials, but they undertook the entire charge of the obsequies. The mourning "pomp" with which it is the Parisian custom to cover the house which death has visited, the external mourning dec oration of the churches, the carriage and the coffining of the dead, was the busi ness of the church. There were fixed charges for these funeral expenses, vary ing from for the humble funeral to $2000 for the stately public demonstra tion. When the law passed, the business ex ternal to the religious ceremonials was assigned to the municipality of Paris, It went into the undertaking business; and though, as a certain journal here re marks with morbid wit, there was no falling off In the business, for deaths were some thousands more numerous in Paris in 1907 than in 1906, the municipality has lost $240,000 on the funerals. Various explanations are forthcoming. One is that free funerals have -become more nu merous; but that is not accepted as suf ficient. The real reason-seems to be that the Parisians are cutting down the ex penditure on civil "pomps'" to a minimum in order to prevent the separation law depriving the churches of one source of their revenue. Whatever the explanation, there is to be a new tariff for funerals. Eleven dol lars is now to be the lowest charge 'for the interment of any citizen who is not to go to his grave as a pauper; while $3000 is to be the charge for the imposing demonstration. But the number of Frenchmen who have no objection to having their friends buried at the cost of the ratepayers is steadily increasing in Paris, and the number of Catholics who are restricting their expenditure as far as possible to the ceremonials within the churches is also growing. The municipal budget for funerals In Paris, therefore, will be increasingly difficult to manage. Root's Scheme to Aid Commerce. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. In developing BURIALS GOSTMQR pairs? The Sporting Pastor of the Church of the Leavened Yeast. Some of them, Larry, can do anything you' can think of except preach, and they could do that, too, if they had time to practice up a bit. Their idea of a glorious im mortality is a spotlight that won't flicker, and I don't know buthat they are right. Still, at that, I gather from what I can hear, that the old-fashioned kind are the ones that make the con verts. "Anyway. Larry, these are the days when nobody practices the trade he was raised to. And every day somebody smashes a tradition that we used to think the world and all of. For example, now, take those two splendid representa tlves of the ancient French regime tlib Prince de Saga n .and the Count Boni dfc Castellana. They're cousins, those two. and scions of one of the oldest and proud est 'and hungriest of Paris families what you might call true Parisites. Well, it seems they had a faljlng out not long ago. One of them wanted to be the hus band of the American lady that the other one used to be the husband of, in happier, days. "They met on the Boulevard in front of the abs-inthe factory,- next door to the fashion bazaar, and right around the cor ner from the place where they turn out the millinery in other words, they met In the very center of the French capital. In the good old days both of them would have been wearing long swords and doub lets and ruffles around their necks, the same as they put on a mutton chop, and they'd have squared off and said, "Gad zooks" and "oddsfish," which is a kind of fish that Isn't common any more, or at least, I never see it on the bill of fare, and then they'd out with their ewords, and it would have been up and bis policy for the co-operation of the State Department with business Interests in extending American trade.

JACKSON, Ky.. Feb. 8. The funeral of Judge James Hargls, who met death at the hands of his son, took place at noon today , in the little family burial ground. The dead man lay in a casket of steel and mahogany. Nearby are tho graves of Judge Har gls' three brothers, all of whom died ot bullet wounds inflicted by implacable enemies. ' The funeral cortege of the murdered leader was a unique spectacle. Tho body was taken across the- "town bend ' of the river by a bridge, and there placed upon a push car and rolled down the tracks of the Lexington & Eastern Railroad for half a mile. Thence it was transferred to a push car on "a narrow gauge railroad of a lumber company and rolled nearly a mile more, crossing tho river again on the Pan handle side. Thence it was. carried about 300 yards to the grave. Tiie attendants walked, forming a procession in the track behind the car which served as a hearse. There is no hearse in the town and" neither is there an undertaker in the region. Beach Hargls, the murderer, was per mitted to view-the body:of his father before it was taken from the house. He was greatly overcome and fell on bis knees and said: CLord, have mercy." ' He was returned to the gloomy Breathitt County.

"But what happened when these haughty young noblemen met? I hate to tell you, Larry, what did happen. There was no sword thrust straight through the center lacings of the stays, no firing of deadly dueling pistols, no seconds, no challenges. Nothing of the kind. The Prince de Sagan passed out a sample of the same brand of physical repartee that the Hon. John Sharp Williams recently used on the Hon. David de Armond. He re'ached forth, and with his princely fin gernails, he scratched nearly all the Bloom of Young face paint from his cousin's right cheek. Whereupon the Count retaliated by taking a careful aim at the lower part of the Prince's counte nance and proceeded to violate the ordi nance in regard to spitting in public places. And then oh, Larry, think of the shame of it! they had one another arrested by a common John Darm in re.d pants and a plebeian magistrate fined them both in an accursed police court." "Well," said the House Detective, "seems like to me that wuzn't such a turr'bin thing glttin' fined in a police court?" "It was a terrible thing for the Count and the Prince," said the Hotel Clerk. "They 'had to pawn their corsets and ' manicure sets to make up the amount." Disappearance of Crown Jew els Starts Rumors. . POLICE ARE OBSTRUCTED Parliament Slay Order an Investiga tion Into Theft or Costly Gems, Which Were Kept at Dublin Castle. LONDON, Feb. 8. (Special.) The dis appearance of the Crown Jewels from Dublin Castle has now become a state scandal of the first magnitude. The stories that are current everywhere here as to the circumstances are almost in crediblein fact, would be positively in credible if any other institution in the world were in question except Dublin Castle. The mystery that has been preserved by the castlo officials and their attitude to the Scotland Yard men who were told off to investigate the affair, have created a very unfavorable impression in official circles here. In fact, it is said at Scot land Yard that if they had had assist ance, instead of obstruction, from the castle people, tho mystery would prob ably have been solved long ago. The complaint is not directed against the Dublin Detective Department, but against the men higher up, and some of them men whose concern in the affair officially is not apparent. It is now impossible that the ma-tter can be permitted to rest where it is. There should be no difficulty whatever in passing through both Houses of Par liament a, bill constituting a special com mission endowed with full power to probe this scandal to the utmost. Of course, someone Is being shielded. OUTLAW'S SAFE RETREAT Indian Murderer Hides ln. Coulee Blocked With Snow. BUTTH. Mont.. Feb. 8. A special to the Miner states that returning possemen from the scene of the manhunt in the mountains near Cascade believe that Mos ney, the Indian outlaw and alleged mur derer of Robert Holmes, has been lo cated in a steep and almost impenetrable gulch, known as Klondike coulee, one of the most rugged pieces of country in Montana. The snow is waist deep, and the possemen were able to travel little faster than a crawl.
