United Slates Cultivates Taste for Best Vintage and Yankees Obtain Xear-Corner ' on 'Market. LONDON. April 13. (Special.) James B. Reagan, proprietor of the Knickerbocker Hotel, New York, has spen-. some time In the wine district since his arrival on the Mauretania, buying up vintage champagne, ne saio that the United States possesses more vintage champagne than any otoei country in the world. The general conditions of the cham name market in England. Regan said are deplorable. Some of the best brands cannot be procured and prices are the highest ever Known. . 'ine win. cards of the leading hotels and restau rants show a paucity of the well-known brands of 1S98 and 1900. Regan says he compared the cards with those of six vears ago and the bad condition was obvious. In addition to the fact that there has been no good crop since 1906, there was no great abundance In 1911. If the crop of 1913 does not prove to be plentiful, Regan says, the supply of vintage in the market will te re duced to an unprecedented minimum. The wine dealers are endeavoring, on urrniint of the. scarcity, to induce the public to abstain from vintage wines and trying to Induce them to drlnK me n. I. n pi lr ,1 . The American taste in regard to champagne, Regan said, had improved remarkably In-10 years. A decade ago an American simply ordered a bottle of champagne. Nowadays he Is the most discriminating man In the world. He knows all the brands and orders heavy and light- vintage according to the character of dinner. It is no ex aggeration, according to the hotel man, to say that 90 per cent of the patrons of the best New York hotels order vin tage champagne. $1000 PAID FOR LOST EYE T. B.

CARTOONIST REYNOLDS Revolutionists Try to Force Intervention UNITED STATES KEEPING OUT i O lArory Murder Trials rromised When Mexican Strife Ends- ALL RULES OF WAR BROKEN Interference With Mall of Consuls and Execution of Gunner in De fiance of Protest Causes for Feeling of Aggravation. WASHINGTON. April 13. Mexican rebels are rapidly rousing the ire of this Government, and, while no steps of retaliation have been discussed, it is almost certain the revolutionists will never obtain sympathy or recognition. Interference of the rebels with offi cial mall of American Consuls and the summary execution of Thomas Foun tain, an American gunner, in defiance of protest from this country, have caused a feeling of aggravation. Though the United States Is virtually powerless at present to compel more courtesy from the rebels, it is felt that a heavy reckoning is awaiting some of the Insurrecto leaders. Intervention Slot Likely. It is the official view In Washington that If the rebels, made desperate by their failure to obtain supplies neces sary to a successful campaign, are try ing to force Intervention in Mexico, their deliberate intentions are doomed to failure. As notice has been served on Ameri cans to keep out of harm's way in Mex ico, It is argued that the Administra tion cannot be held accountable for evil results following a disregard of President Taft's warning. .Marder Trials to Follow. Military leaders in Mexico, federal or rebel, who, in violation of Interna tional rules of war, deliberately bring about the execution of a prisoner of war, are considered guilty of murder under international law. If a rebel leader, having caused the death of an American, comes within the jurisdiction of the United States, he is certain to be arrested and turned over to the Mexican government with the expectation that he would be tried on the charge of murder.

TO EXPRESS A FEW Dullness and Dowdiness of Koyal Household Causes Modern Philadelphia Breaks Even and One LONDON, April 13. (Special.) The dullness and dowdiness of Queen Mary's court is placing Her Majesty in an em barrassing position, for more than one youns noblewoman has excused her- -l om accepting the recently vacant n of maid of honor. """" Irene Lawley, who has at last been found ready to accept the position, is the daughter of the late Lord Wenlock, who was vice-chamberlain lu the Queen's household. Under Queen- Alexandra that post was the roost cov eted ' of social . prizes, but under the uresent regime court life is so exact- in er as well as dull, owing to the Queen's extremely conscientious and businesslike habits, that none of the elisible noblewomen desire to fill the position. Not only are the hours long, but court ladies are expected to avoid smart dressing and follow Her Majes ty's distinctly old-fashioned taste In adornment. , LUMBER FIRM IS FORMED Sinilcy-Lanipert Company Incorpor ates; Capital $100,000.

Owners Now Members of One Organization. 618 RESULTS ARE PREDICTED Competition and Commissions Believed Eliminated. FOUR STATES JOIN' FORCES Officers Declare That Investments Amounting to $250,000,000 Will Be Thoroughly Protected by Merger Effected Yesterday. . Consolidation of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange with the growers' rep resentatives interested in the move ment to establish a mutual fruit sell ing agency was effected in Portland yesterday and the future systematic and successful sale of the enormous fruit crops of tho Northwest becamo assured. It Is expected more than 50 per cent of the fruitgrowers of Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho -and Montana, represent ing an investment of more than $250, 000,000, at once will become affiliated with the organization, which has for Its purpose the creation of a wider market for the fruit products of the Northwest and the distribution of the fruit through those markets In such a manner that while the price to the consumer may be decreased, the re turn to the grower will be Increased. While , this statement may sound Illogical, officials of the Northwestern. Fruit Exchange predict It is a pos sible result through - the elimination of ruinous competition and the merci less commission men, as was done in California. Yesterday's action was the result of negotiations that have been In prog ress for more than a year between, the various fruitgrowing interests of the Northwest, and for more than three weeks between the growers and. the officers of the exchange.

Representatives of this committee have been In conference With the directors of the exchange for several days, with the result that yesterday a plan .was perfected for uniting the two organiza tions the growers and the exchange. The exchange amended its bylaws to provide for mutuallzatlon, elected growers representatives to Its board of directors and created an advisory council, the members of 'which will be elected by the various local fruitgrow ers' unions of the Pacific Northwest. Provision was made for establishing an office at Spokane. The growers' committee was repre sented in the conference by Its chair man, H. W. Otis, of Peshastln. Wash.! its secretary, L. E. Meacham. of Walla Walla, Wash., and A. P. Bateham, of Mosier, president of the Oregon State Horticultural Society. Otis and Bate ham were elected directors and vice presidents of the exchange.
