In addition to advanced courses in sew liKf, cooking and general housekeeping, theso schools will give instruction in the various trades which have been invaded hy feminine labor. In ths way, in addi tion to turning out skilled mechanics and sliopworkors. the public schools will have to their credit a body of "sweet girl graduates" who can make gloves, super intend a weaving room or enter a down town office as an expert stenographer or accountant.

It is the opinion of the Superintendent that a technical high school for girls should be established first on the West Side and that in time similar technical high schools for girls should be established on the North and South sides of the city."

If Forced to Choose Between Helle and Children, Will Keep Lat . ter and Move Out. LONDON, Nov. 14. (Special.) Let ters have been shown The Oregonian correspondent written by Princess de Sagan, formerly Miss Anna Gould, to a friend In London, declaring as untrue the rumors that her second marriage is unhappy. She says, however, that if she must choose between her children and the Prince, she will keep the chil dren. She thinks this can be done by a divorce or legal separation from her present husband In fact," one of her letters implies that the Prince is willing to demand such a separation In order to defeat Count Bonl de Castellane's efforts to recover the children. The Princess declares herself to be in a "distracted condition" owing to an apparent probability that Count Bonl finally will succeed unless her second marriage, because of which he demands the children. Is annulled through divorce or a separation. . There is a report current today that the Prince has already taken steps towards securing the divorce. INDEX X)F TODAY'S NEWS The Weather.

PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 14. Prince ton closed an Inglorious football season vritrf "eeTeifS&tKe hands of Yale to day, 11 to 6. Outplayed in the first half 8 to 0, Yale came back determined for the second and simply carried Princeton off its feet. Working; like a piece of machinery In the opening; half, the Orange and Black returned for the second. session to show only spasmodic flashes of the brilliancy displayed earlier In the day. With Yafe It was a different story. Dillon Breaks Down, Cries. Entering: a contest for the first time since the sweeping switch of the men after the Brown game last Saturday, there was some anxiety in the Yale camp as to the outcome today, but as the contest progressed the work of Yale improved. Princeton fought -bitterly to avoid the impending disaster, but the flesh was weak. When, near the end of the second half. Captain Dillon, -Princeton's great little , leader, was carried from the field fighting and crying like a child, the. heart seemed to be taken out of his followers. One by one the weakened and battered Orange and Black warriors were replaced by fresh men until seven substitutes had been brought Into the game. Probably not in the history of the games between these two universities have two men shone so brilliantly or. their respective teams as did Coy of Yale" and Tibbott of Princeton today. Tlbbott by his brilliant runs around ends and his wonderful work In open field made possible Princeton's only touchdown, while Coy, with bulldog tenacity, tore great holes In the Prince ton line and many times It required the"combined strength of at least four Princeton men to stop this player. Dillon Knocked Senseless. If Yale has anything new In the football book she religiously kept It hidden for the Harvard game next Saturday. She rarely tried the forward pass and as infrequently resorted to the on-side. Yale relied almost wholly (Concluded on Page 3.)

Xo Such Struggle In Indiana for -Twenty Years Taggart Also May Enter Scrimmage. v IXDIANAPOLIS, Xov. 14. (Special.) Indiana Democrats are putting forth a large crop of senatorial aspirants and the contest for Mr. Hemenway's seat is the liveliest in many years. In fact there has been no such struggle since 1887. John W. Kern, the defeated candidate for Vice-President, seems to have the l4?ad and has the backing of W. J. Bryan. Benjamin F. Shlveley, with a creditable record In Congress and a very strong following, is his chief competitor and a formidable one. He has been Democratic candidate for Governor and has been nominated for Senator before. John B. Lamb, of Terre Haute; "George V. Menzies, of Mount Vernon, and I B. Slack, of Franklin, are also active candi dates. There is also a possibility that Thomas Taggart may enter the contest. No one believes he could be elected, but he could so weaken the Kern forces that Mr. Shlveley would have a walk-over. Mr. Taggart and Mr. Kern have been such close friends, however, that this con tingency Is not greatly feared. SON SUES HISAGED FATHER Claims Parent Refused to Give Him Land as He Agreed. HILLSBORO,' Or., Nov. 14. (Spe cial.) William Bell, of Tualatin, has sued his father, Bernard Bell, for spe cific performance of contract, which was verbal, and entered into In 1599. The father, who was then 70 years of age. agreed to give the son. according to the complaint, a deed to a tract of land if the boy would keep him and improve the farm. The son claims he has faithfully kept his end of the bargain, and that some few years ago a deed was made out. Last August, however, the plaintiff says, the father found the deed and burned it. He now asks the court to prevent the father from selling the place, and wants his equity and rights determined. He alleges that he has spent about 11200 In labor and money in Improve ments, and that' the place is now worth about $2000. OHJOJWNDIDATliUfilOlCIED Charge of Manslaughter Against Colonel Catrow. ' DAYTON, O., Nov. 14. Colonel H. G. Catrow, former Republican candidate for Congress, was today indicted for manslaughter. Colonel Catrow last July ran down and killed a laborer with his automobile.

LAD OF 7 SHOOTS BROTHER Ten-Year-Old Boy Receives Wound . From Which He Will Die. TILLAMOOK. Or., Nov. 14. (Special.) While two boys, sons of E. Kaumlaus, were playing in tlteir house at Hobson ville this morning, and while the older was standing with his hands at his back against a door, the younger lad picked up a shotgun and fired it at the door, the shot partly tearing his brother's hand to pieces and then entering the boy's back, Injuring him so severely that he cannot live.

HUMOROUS ILLUSTRATION "That Old Biua Canoom." REGENT GOVERNS E Emperor Dead, Dowa ger Mortally III. LITTLE DANGER OF OUTBREAK Death Room Now in Waiting for Empress. VICTORY FOR REFORMERS Choice of Prince Chan as rttrkasr Introduces Modern Element Into Government . and ' Respects Rule of Succession. PEKIN. Nov. 14, 8 P. M. The Emperof died shortly after 5 o'clock this after noon. Kwang Hau's later life was a pitiable spectacle to his attendants. His feeble ness had rendered him a mere puppet and he had suffered long from ill health, which was combined with fear and despair. Latterly he showed marked signs of mental disturbances and even went so far last August as to declare himpelf mad. The Emperor had been 111 for a lon time and during recent audiences with foreign representatives he was unable td sit upon the throne, or even in an erect position. It was evident for a long tiin that he would be unable to withstand a crisis whlcn sooner or later must de velop in the disease from which he was suffering. Recent climatic extremes caused fatal complications. Dowager Critically III. At the moment of the death of th Emperor, the Dowager Empress' owo death chamber chair was waiting in tin courtyard. She, too, had been in a seri ous condition and word was brought to her earlier In the day that the Emperof was dying, caused her to collapse. TIili has prevented her assuming the relation ship of grandmother .to the successor to the throne, which according to the Chi nese, would enormously augment her au thority. There is little Indication of emotion among the people. The Emperor's death and the probable death of the Dowagei Empress within a short time, have had very little effect upon the Chinese, who are pursuing the even tenor of their way without signs of mourning. The report of yesterday that the Dowager Empress of China was mor tally ill was today confirmed by the Foreign Board of the government. The edict promoting Prince Chun to the regency and his infant son, Pu Wei, to be heir presumptive, made a good public impression. It satisfies the reformers and appeals to the senti ments held by the people for Kuan Hsu, because It respects the close blood ties In the matter of succession and In troduces a new and more modern ele ment into the government. It Is an evidence of the victory of the re formers. Prince Made Regent, . The government today notified the American Legation officially that Prince Chun had been made Regent and that he was to be the head of the state. This is recognition of the re tirement of the Dowager Empress, One of the edicts issued in the nam of the Emperor said: "Since last Autumn we have been 111. The physicians recommended by the government have not been suc cessful In curing us. We are weak and without spirit, racked by pain, without appetite, cold and feverish, and it hag been Impossible for us to sleep. We are anxious to permit the Viceroys and the Governors to send other physicians to us quickly and we will give extra ordinary rewards to the physicians or officials who help us." The foregoing dispatch from Pekln sets at rest the conflicting rumors of tin last two days that have originated In (Concluded on Page 3.) f fVV i Tne Trouble With Vm In That W Talk.
