THE SUNDAY OREGOXIATi". PORTlAIfi), SEPTEMBER 3. 1911. KAISER'S PLANS ANGER BURGHERS OF COBURG Men of Ancient City Where Luther Dwelt Fear Emperor's Rebuilding Zeal Venerable Fortress One of Europe's Finest Mediaeval Files. rVN 77 , ERLIN. Sept. 2. (Special.) The people of hill-girt Coburg- are going about with gloomy facea I and resolute, conspiratorial mien. A grave crisis threatens their beloved Duchy, and they are preparing to meet It like men. Without any fault of their own recent history has been r itormy. Two years ago the Inclusion In the Budget of oats for a gendarme's horse nearly led to Civil War. Now a grimmer tragedy menaces their peace ' and every sturdy citizen is asking . Shall we let this be? Kaiser Wllhelm has decided to re ' store their "Burg,? the most romantic, " majestic ruin In all hilly Thurlngla. Backed by archeologlsts and archl- tects. rich In drawings, paint, brand new imitation . stone, and oxydlzed " 'Numbers; - iron. Kaiser Wllhelm is J;' about to renovate the Immemorial, towering walls, and hand back the - Burg of Coburg to the citizens as good as new. At first sight this as a - cause of public tumult seems hopelessly " Insufficient, but the Coburgers are a suspicious, undlscerning brood, and their public orators, instead of thank 7,7 Jng the Kaiser, are thundering from a.-, platform and pulpit "Leave our ruins In peace!" Burg Is Medieval Monument. The facts are simple. The Burg, - Fortress, Citadel or 'Teste," of Co burg Is an ancient complex of build lngs whose toppling walls and pin nacles crown, like Minerva's tiara, an . oak-clad hill to the east of Coburg .'. town. Tt was Ymilt in lata erothin. ".- mostly toward the end of the fifteenth century, and until the middle of the sixteenth was the residence of the local dukes. As mere architecture the ., . Burg Is one of the finest medieval monu . - menus In Germany. Its history adds to its interest. Luther lived there In 1680. and you may see-the room where -..he translated into German the Pro phets and the Psalms. A hundred f people of hill-girt Coburg ait I , III T. years later it reappeared aa a bulwark of German Protestantism, being held by the Swedes of Augustus Adolphus, - - and in vain beleaguered by fiery Wal- lensteln. Today It is used aa a museum. There ' " are relics of Luther, magnificent armor, interesting frescoes, and many other - things. When one climbs to the sum mjt of its "Hohe Bastel," he may look .. out all over green and hilly Thurlngla. In fact, as It stands, the Burg of . ..- coburg is & highly respectable ruin, '- - and If only people would leave It in - peace no man would complain. But Kaiser Wllhelm has an Imperial zeal - for bettering the world, and he is de- :.. terrolned to better the "Veste." HI excuse is that it Is In bad repair; that - a nunarea years ago - the Coburg vandals spoiled It by using It as Jail. And he Is determined to bring V it up to date, sweep away the cob webs, scrub the ancient walls, replace - tne time-eaten cornices with concrete mouldings, and altogether make the "Veste" look like a respectable bar- racks constructed on hygienic prlncl- ll' Coburgers Hard to Please. The builders, the archlteota, the makers of Nurnberg oxydlzed iron are ' delighted. But the Coburarers are die pleased. They prefer to do their own restoring. The Kaiser- retorts that It Is aa affair of the whole Empire, and r he has agreed to a lottery to raise I4S0.000 or preliminary expenses. -. When first the Coburgers thus learned -r.- that some one else would pay for the work their hostility slightly relented, but afterward It broke out more strong- They feared that when the living rooms were done up they would be used .: ny the reigning duke, Karl Eduard, t. wno would exclude .Ills ralthful sub J . . . iu,g IIOO V J LA quesuon, and Coburg's village HamD- dens swore that they would die rather than allow to be disturbed the hoary waus on wnicn they had scribbled : their names for 15 generations. The : Duke pledged himself that he would ex elude no one. But then arose a worse trouble. Coburg learned that the Kal " ser proposed to restore the Burg ac- cording to plans of his own, which ... would be elaborated by bis court ar iy chltect. Professor Bodo Ebhardt. And this again brought up the village i Hampdens, more eloquent, more defi ant, more devoted than before. The fact Is, the audacious Coburgers f: distrust the archeological judgment of ,:i 5 their Kaiser. Even Professor Bodo Eb ... hardt's name does not reconcile them. n ; The professor is a brilliant designer, an imaginative builder, and a scholarly man. But his last act of collaboration with the Kaiser pleased no man. This v was very like the Burg case. The Kai ser and Professor Bodo Ebbardt spent an enormous sum, contributed by the Reichstag, on the renovation of the chateau of Hohkoenlgsberg in Alsace-.-: Lorraine. Restoration Is Failure. -ft. Aa a fact they are spending it still. ' , for four and twenty colossal statues - . are now being cast to fill the niches In the great hall. But Hohkoenlgsberg was a failure. . When the experts ex amined the restoration they said it wu """ superbly done. As a modern castle, they agreed, the restored Hohkoenlge 'X , berg was a brilliant Instance of Imag inative architecture. Its sole defect 7; ; was that it did not resemble the an cient castle in the least They quoted the French General Canrobert's derl- . stve laudation of the Charge of the Light Brigade. "It is magnificent, but . It Is not war," said Canrobert. "It is -:; Incomparable, but it is not a medieval castle," said the Kaiser's critics. - , And they made acid remarks about the roofs, and the gables, and the don- jons, and the drawbridge, and the fres- eoes, and the quarterlngs over the doors; and said that while as an Em !V' peror Kaiser Wllhelm merited the ap- j 1ZJ probation of history, as a restorer of time-worn ruins he had no use at alL Coburg, of course, is a remote, pro vincial sort of city; but the story of Hohkoenlgsberg penetrated there in due time. And that is why Coburg is suspicious today. Before a year has passed the $450,000 will be collected, the Kaiser will have approved of his architect's plans, and the work will be begun. And before many months Co burg's oak-clad hill will be crowned not with a poetic ruin which speaks of the monk Luther, the adventurer Wal lensteln. and the iron Swedes of the Lion of the North, but a brand-new, shiny mock-medievalism which no man will see without a smile. Even the lichened walls on which Coburg's tradesmen have scratched their sonorous names will be white washed by Imperial decree. That is what angers the Coburgers most of all. UNITED WORK ADVISED TWO CHARTER COMMITTEES MAY BE MERGED. Suggestion That Framers Get To gether and Agree on One Docu ment Gains In Favor. Although the idea has not been sug gested formally to either of the two charter revision . committees laboring to frame a commission form of govern ment for Portland, the suggestion made at a recent meeting of the Ad Club that the two committees get to gether and evolve one commission charter to be submitted to the voters Is gaining in popular favor. The Impres sion prevails that unless the two bodies of charter framers can get together on such a basis there Is grave danger that neither of the documents vlll be adopted by the voters. A. E. Clark, chairman of the com mittee appointed by the East Side Business Men's Club, said yesterday that the suggestion that the two com mittees meet jointly and work together In framing a commission charter had not been proposed to his committee other than in the discussion that took place at the Ad Club meeting. He in timated that the work of neither com mlttee had progressed sufficiently to make advisable at this time a confer ence, his Idea being that such a meet ing might better be held after each committee had prepared a tentative draft of the charter in accordance with the Ideas of its respective members. When this has been done. It Is argued the two oommlttees could meet and consider the two documents and pos- PROMOTERS IN TOIL Realty Men Use Mails for De frauding, Alleged.

Judge Bronaugh. chairman of the committee appointed by ex-Mayor Simon, said the suggestion that the two committees co-operate in their work had not been broached to htm. Judge Bronaugh explained that he had Just returned to the city after an ab sence of two weeks and for that reason was not in touch with the progress that had been made by the two com mittees or the desire that they work lolntlv. He said the subcommittee, authorized by the committee of which he was chairman and consisting of himself, George B. Cellars and Wil liam F. Woodward, expected to meet arlv this week and begin theprepara- tion of a tentative charter to be sub mitted back to the run committee ior its approval. " Centralia Has Woman Mailcarrier. CENTRALIA, Wash., Sept. 2. (Spe cial.)- Centralia temporarily has a woman carrying a mall route out of the local postofflce.

Miss Stocks has been a sub stitute carrier for several months, but this is her first - experience in active service. -; " - FEARFUL BURNING ITCH WAS CURED By Cuticura Soap and Ointment, Another Man Had Itching on Scalp. Hair Fell Out, Leaving Bald Spots. Now Hair Has Grown, Thanks to Cuticura Soap and Ointment. "I deem It my duty to tell about a cure that the Cuticura Soap and Ointment have made on myself. My trouble began in splotches breaking out right in the edge of my hair on the forehead, and spread over the front part of the top of my bd from ear to ear, and over my ears which caused a most fearful burning itch, or eciema. For three years I had this terrible breaking out on my forehead and scalp. I tried our family doctor and he failed to cure it. Then I tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment and need them for two months with the result of a complete cure. Cuticura Soap and Ointment should have the credit due, and I have advised a lot of people to use them." (Signed) O. D. Tharrington, Creek, N. C, Jan. 28, 1911. "I wDl say that I have' been suffering with an Itching on my scalp for the past few years. My hair fell out in spots all over my head. My scalp started to trouble me with sores, then the sores healed up, and crusts formed on the top. Then the halt fell out and left me three bald spots the shape of a half dollar. I went to more than one doctor, but could not get any relief, so I started to use the Cuticura Remedies. I tried one bar of Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment, and felt relieved right away. Now the bald spots have disappeared, and my hair has grown, thanks to the Cuti cura Boap and Ointment. I highly recom mend the Cuticura Remedies to all that are suffering with scalp trouble."
