NEW YORK. Nov. 21. (Spe

L'lXvmbour? was seized with a
disabling: Illness some time ago.
the Grand Duchess was made
rtefrent. She has now been asked
to retain that power In case of
his death. The Grand Duke has
no sons, and It Is believed that
eventually one of his four daugh
ters will become the ruler, as
the desire of the adjacent gov
ernments to obtain control of the
little duchy makes it unlikely
that they could agree on a rep
resentative of any one of them
to take the sovereignty.

visit to him at the County Jail.

"I did not. I never saw It nor knew
that my husband had such a weapon. He
never had a revolver in the house, so far
as I knew."
. Kept Secret, Showed Effects.
Mrs. Haas broke down at this point and
the proceedings stopped until she regained
her composure to some degree. She stated
that she did not know that he had been
drawn on the Ruef Jury and exposed as
an ex-convict until after his death: that
he had never mentioned Mr. Heney 's
name to her, that practically no one ever
came to the house to see him and that
he seldom spoke to her about any of his

MANILA. ' Nov. 21. Rear-Admiral
Sperry addressed a letter to Governor
General Smith today, saying that it had
been decided not to grant the men of
the Atlantic battleship fleet leave of
absence during the stay of the ships In
Manila Bay. This decision, the' Rear
Admiral says, is based on the advice of
the medical officers of the fleet, as well
as his own convictions. The letter states
that the dally reports of the health de
partment show the presence of cholera
in Manila, and that during the progress
of the. epidemic a large percentage of the
cases reported were dead or moribund,
showing that they had been concealed.
Rear-Admiral Sperry then states that the
house-to-house Inspection has been aban
doned and claims that there is always
danger of a renewal and extension of the
Infection from the provinces. The Rear
Admiral next cites the recent report on
the cholera made by Commissioner Wor
cester, condemning portions of the city
of Manila as unsanitary. The letter closes
by pointing out the necessity of forbid
ding the landing of the men. as the fleet
is to make a long cruise in the tropics
after leaving here en route home, besides
the danger of its personnel being liable
to quarantine in the Mediterranean.
Governor-General Smith is communicat
ing the letter of Rear-Admiral Sperry. as
well as the facts in regard to the situa
tion, to the Government at Washington,
and It Is expected that President Roose
velt will be asked to examine Into the
facts and pass finally on the matter.
The position of Rear-Admiral Sperry Is
bitterly resented here, being pronounced
unjust, unnecessary and unduly timid.
The health officials resumed their house-to-house
inspection yesterday, and it is
being continued today. Not a single case
has yet been revealed.
Rear-Admiral Harber, commanding the
third division of the Pacific fleet, has re

and organizing an elaborate reception to
the Pacific fleet, for the purpose of em
phasizing and drawing attention to the
anomaly of one Rear-Admiral refusing
shore leave to his men and the other
granting It. without restriction.

Government and State to Co-operate
In Training Farmers in Irriga
tion Dry Farming Experi
ments to Be Made Also.
OREGONJAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. D. C, Nov. 21. As a result of
the personal appeals of President Will
lam J. Kerr, of the Oregon Agricultural
College, the Departments of the In
terior and Agriculture have agreed to
establish and equip an experiment farm
on the Umatilla irrigation project, to
assist farmers in properly developing
theirland. Secretary Garfield today
set aside sufficient money to erect the
necessary buildings, construct laterals
and purchase equipment. The Bureau
of Plant Industry promised to co-operate
with the state in the maintenance
of the station, the cost to be equally
divided.
Professor Kerr said that, had not this
step been taken, many farmers on the
Umatilla project would lose their hold
ings through inability properly to use
their land and water.
Professor Kerr also secured from the
Agricultural Depaitment a promise to
co-operate with the state in establish
ing an experiment station for dry land
farming in Morrow, Gilliam or Sherman
Counties, where experiments are to be
conducted to ascertain what grains are
best adapted to regions where there is
less than normal rainfall. Eastern
Oregon farmers are much In need of
assist '.rce in development of the dry
farminj industry. '
Tl.TOUgh the effort of Professor Kerr
the next convention of the Association
of American Agricultural Colleges and
Experiv.ient Stations will be held in
Portland next July, and the Farmers'
Institute Convention will follow.

SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 21. Turning
sharply to avoid collision with a large
dog that was crossing the course, Jean
Juhasse. driving the French Spo car en
tered in the international light-car race,
to be run here next Wednesday as a
preliminary to the grand prize contest
on Thursday, hurled his mechanician to
almost' instant death today, and is him
self lying in the Savannah hospital to
night with an injured spine. The rac
ing machine was crippled beyond hope
of repair.
The scene of today's fatality was on
White Bluff road, a stright and level
stretch. The turn made to avoid the
log was slight, but the speed of the
ittle car caused it to jump sideways
and it struck a tree a glancing blow.
There was a richochet to a second
tree and then to a telephone pole. Still
plunging about after this third blow,
the automobile turned completely
around and again ran Into the pole,
which this time was broken off short.
In the midst of the plunging both
Derosa and Juhasse lost their seats, the
mechanician being the ofst to go.

ORBGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Nov. 21. "It is improbable that
Oregon will send a Democratic United
States Senator to Washing-ton," said Sen
ator Fulton. In an interview Dublished !
here today.
"The vote of the people for Senator
is only advisory, and the constitution
leaves It to the Legislature of the state
to choose a Senator. The Republican
members of the Legislature do not re-
ard themselves as bound under the
circumstances to cast their vote when
electing- a United States Senator in
keeping with the popular fraudulent
vote
Mr. Fulton today paid his respects to
a few "lit"
suggestions concerning
that new Winter Suit
Roominess is just as important in a suit as it la
in a nightshirt. There is no reason in the world why
the body, should be cramped for room when awake
any more than when asleep.
A well-fitting suit must be cut full, so as to adjust
itself naturally and symmetrically to the wearer's
figure.
The ''drawing'' or wrinkling across the shoul
ders, characteristic of many poorly-fitted suits, is
caused by unscientific drafting and by trying to save
material in the cutting.
No suit, cut on narrow, niggardly patterns, can
possibly fit.
Columbia-Tailored Clothes - are cut generously
full, but without exaggerations that make them con
spicuous that give them the "hand-me-down" look.
They are exact in size, accurate in balance and
true in drape. Every detail of fashion, fabric and
finish is unerringly correct. That's why Columbia
Tailored Clothes have gained such a foothold in the
estimation of good dressers.
You can find a pattern in our stock that will meet
your ideas exactly and at a price you will feel is
reasonable.
