Still High.
OREGON STRONG FACTOR.
Thomas Mclti.or Says Bitter Senll
mrnt Itctwrcn Taft and Koosevclt
Supporters Will Throw Con
Trntlon Strength to Insurgent.
That the election In Orncon will bet
ter the chance for a deadlock between
Tft end Rooeve!t Is the opinion of
Thomas McCimker. campaign manager
In Oregon for Senato llobert M. I -a
Kollette. When It became apparent Krt
nay nlrht that Roosevelt would carry
the state Mr. MoPuakrr save out the
following statement:
"1.1 Follette is still In the race. lie
is some into the convention to win,
and T-lth chances aoo.l for a deadlock
between Taft and Rooeevelt the outlook
for -. Flltt Is promising. The elec.
tlot n Oregon, a-olnff as It lias for
Ttooaevelt. will naturally have its ef
fect on other states. We would much
prrfei to go to the National conven
tion wtth urffon and California for I
Kollette. but we can to there wltn
great strength without either of them.
Tl.e uitter feelins; between Taft and
Roosevelt makes a compromise very
imprjbsMe n case of a deadlock, in
mnlrii event La Kollette would stand
a rood chance. I do not concede that
La. Kollette is beaten. We still can o
to th convention full of confluence."
Great rejolcir.a- broke out at the
Roosevelt headquarters In the early
evening when special returns were re
ceived from some of the more dlstalnt
parts of the state showing- that Roose
velt was running far in the lead.' At
midnight, when it waa practically con
ceded that Roosevelt had swept the
state. F. W. Mulkey, chairman of the
Kousevelt committee, declared that the
victory will be greater than waa ex
pected at that time.
"I think I am safe In saying that
Malheur. Coos. Curry. Lake and Klam
ath counties will all turn In strong for
Roosevelt." said Mr. Mulkey. -You will
see when the more distant returns
come In that Teddy la even stronger
than nearer Portland. I named the
thrre candidates In the order of thelr
running some time mo and here are
the returns to show that 1 was right.
We have done some good work for
Roosevelt, but to this we do not ac
credit the whole victory. We had the
right man to back and that In Itself
was enouffh to win."
Bettlnir was carried on In. lively style
Ip several of the political headquarters.
s the returns came In various bets
on the Presidential results were made.
At the Selling headquarters It was pos
sible to get odds of & to 1 In favor of
Mr. Selling. Special arrangementa had
leen-made for returns tr'm some -of
the precincts of the state which were
doubtful and when these showed strong
for Celling the odds went rapidly up.
Mr. Celling was nt willing to make
any statement laot nlcht. "The returns
ar not all In." said Mr. tilling, "and
I do not want to say anythlug that X
might have te take hark."
The various political headquarters
will be closed toi-Uht. Arrangements
have been made for the releasing of
the Taft quarters In the (telling build
ing this afternoon and the Roosevelt
"inarters probably will be closed either

NKW YORK. April 10. "if anything
rhould happen to me. tell my wife in
New York that I've done my best In
doing vrry dutv."
Thst was the last message of Benja
min Uuggenhrlm. of the famous bank
ing family, dictated to the steward only
a short time before the banker sank
to his death with the Titanic.
."It was not until today that tire mes
sage was received by Mrs. Oustgenheim.
It was delivered by James Ktches. aa
slstant stewsrd In the flrst cabin of the
Titanic, to whom Mr. CJugiienhelm com
municated IT. Ktches appeared at the
St. Regis Hotel and Inquired for ' Mrs.
Benjamin Guggenheim. He said that he
had a message from Benjamin Guggen
heim and It had to be delivered In per
son. Mrs. Guggenheim was In the care of
Daniel Guggenheim, whose apartment
are at the St. Regis.
Tho'Steward was admitted but was
not permitted to see Mre. Guggenheim,
who Is prostrated with grief. He In
sisted that he must see her personally,
but finally consented to transmit the
message through her brother-in-law.
"We were together almost to the
end." said the steward. "I waa saved.
He went down with the ship. But that
Is not what I want to tell Mrs. Gug
genheim." Then the ateward produced a piece
of paper. He "had written the message
on It. he- said, to be certain that It
would be correct. The message waa aa
given.
That's all he said."(addod the stew
rd. There w-aa not time for more."
Little by little Mr. Ouggenhelm got
the atory of his brother's death from the
steward. It was the first definite news
he had received of his brother. "Mr.
Uuggenhelra waa one of my charges,"
said the steward anew. "He had his
secretary with him. His name w-as
Glgllo. I believe, an Armenian about ti
years old. Both died like soldiers.
"When the crash came I awakened
them and told them to get dressed.
A few minutes later I went Into their
rooms and helped them to get ready.
I put a life preserver on Mr. Guggen
heim. He said It hurt him in the back.
There was plenty of time and I took
it off. adjusted It and then put It ten
him .again. .Lt.was all right this time.
"They wanted to go pn deck with
only a few clothes "on. but I pulled a
heavy sweater over Mr. Guggenheim's
lifebelt and they both went out. They
stayed together and I could see what
they were doing. They were going
.from .ope .lifeboat ' to another, helping
the women and children. Mr. Guggen
heim would shout out 'Women first.'
and he was of groat assistance to the
officers.
-Things were not so bsd at first, but
when 1 saw Mr. Guggenheim In half an
hour after the crash, there was great
excitement. What surprised me was
that both Mr. Guggenheim and his sec
retary were dressed In their evening
clothes. They had deliberately taken
off their sweaters aad as nearly as I
ran remember, they wore no lifebelts
at all. .
"What's that forr I asked.
-We've dressed up In our best.' re
plied Mr. Guggenheim, 'and are Pre
pared to go down Uke gentlemen.' R
mas then he told me about the message
to his wife and that Is what I have
come here for.
"Well, shortly sfter the last few
boats were lowered and I was ordered
by the deck officer to man an oar, I
waved good bye to Mr. Guggeunetra
and that was the last I aaw of him and

FIRST AMERICAN -FLAG
----- '
Memories or General Peter Ganse
voort, of the Revolution. !
Philadelphia Record,
The National Museum has received a
most Interesting addition to Its treas
ures In the uniforms, swords and other
military relics of General Peter Ganse
voort. of the Revolution. But If It
could have received the flag which he
hoisted over Fort Schuyler (previously
Fort Stanwlx). August 2, 1777. the
value of the relic would have been In
comparably greater than that of all
the personal belongings of the old pa
triot which his descendants have now
given to the Nation.
That flag was the first Stars and
Stripes to be associated with a mili
tary event. It was the first Stars and
Stripes to be made of which we have
an authentic record. It may, reason
ably be said to bave.Deen the first
Stars and Stripes to experience baptism
by fire.
The siege of Fort Schuyler, by IJeu
tenant Bird and Chief Brant, with a
force of English and Indians, waa a
part of Burgoyne's campaign. It was
an effort to' get In the flank and rear
of Gates, and the fort was defended
with full consciousness of Its enormous
Importance In the campaign. The siege
began August 2. and it was on that
day that the garrison, having learned
that Congress had In June adopted the
design of a flag, made one out of such
msterials as they had and mounted It
upon the parapet. Colonel Marlnus
Wlllett. who was there with a regiment
and who was second In command, has
recorded that "the white stripes were
cut out of ammunition shirts furnished
by the soldiers: the blue out of the
camlet cloakwtaken from the enemy at
Peeksklll. while the red stripes were
made of different pieces of stuff pro
cured from one and another of the
garrison." Losslng says that the blue
came from a cloth cloak belonging to
Captain Abraham Swartwout. of Dutch
ess County, but he does not give an au
thority for It. It Is pleasant to think
that' the first American flag used In
battle or siege contained a piece of an
enemv's uniform, and Colonel Wlllett
certainly ought to have known what
that flag was made of.
The day on which this flag was made
was the day. or very nesr It. on which
Dr. Thacher. surgeon in the Continental
Army, learned and recorded In his
Journal that Congress had agreed upon
a design for the flag. It Is true that
this waa seven weeks after the action
of Congress, but it wss a month be
fore the flag MS officially promul-
KThe Gansevoort uniform Is said to
be the only Revolutionary uniform ex
cept Washlngton'sx In the National
Museum. It Is. a .v.aluaMe . addition to
the Revolutionary souvenirs accessible
to the public But we wish that Peter
Gansevoort had saved the flag under
which- he defended Fort Schuyler and
that It waa that flag which his de
scendants have presented to the Nation.

(QUERIES OF EFFICIENCY
Doubt If Increased Mechanical Suc

Sprlngtield (Mass.) Republican.
A elomor about "efficiency" may be a
svmptom that people are dojag the
wrong thing. When men are on the
right track, when every Inch gained Is
substantial progress, their slowness
and awkwardness causes them little
concem. It is when they are per
plexed, unaure of their goal, that they
are obsessed with a craving for speed.
The new demand for- higher efficiency
in lab-j- la an admirable thing. In the
long run It la bound to work, for the
good of all It means that the world s

more easily, with less wear and tear.

SELLING WINS BY LARGE MA

and vomen...- A wise world would be
rich and happy on what we now waste.
Till a few years ago the question of
.reduction seemed paramount; the
world hal for a century been intoxi
cated witli the speed which steam-powe-
and machinery, made possible,
with tne wealth that accumulated as If
by magic throughout the Western
World leaving the load of poverty as
heavy as before. But out of tho fer
ment which has been working In so
ciety we can see by degrees a new ideal
taking shape. The recently organized
aocietr for the advancement of effici
ency, in which engineers, business men
and representatives of labor will take
part. Is to be much more than an organ
ization to promote faster- production.
It Is to consider also the Ills that
trouble society and to seek remedies.
An equitable distribution of rewards
will fall within' Its province, as well as
economy of effort in work. It Is a
recogrltlon. In short, that industrial
efficiency to be of value must be re
lated to social efficiency.
THE CAPE COD CANAL
It May Bo Opened to Coastwise Ship
ping Trade Next Year.
" Washington D. C.) Post.
The greater magnitude of the work
In progress at Panama has distracted
the attention of the country from an
important undertaking of similar char
acter on Cape Cod, where a ship canal,
which will prove of great value to
American shipping. Is In course of con
struction. Outside of the New England
States this engineering feat has been
exploited but little: yet were It not for
the fact that the building of the water
way which Is to unite the Atlantic to
the Pacific has overshadowed It. It
would have been watched with much
Interest by the country at lafge. It Is
now promised by the engineers that
the Cape Cod canal, reported to bo
half completed, will be opened to the
coastwise shlpplngt trade In the Sum
mer of .lSIS, or It may he that' the date
will be arranged to coincide with the
opening of the Panama Canal.
A canal across Cape Cod, to enable
the hardy mariner to escape the perils
of that treacherous sandy arm of Mas
sachusetts and to cut down the dis
tance which ships must travel from
Boston to New York and other ports,
has been the dream of the Yankee
since the days of the Pilgrims. , It Is
now about to be realized. The project
Is a private one, the backers declaring
that under no circumstances will they
ask the Government to acquire the ca
nal. Its successful conclusion will be
a valuable lesson to the Nation, dem
onstrating, as It will, that In some sec
tions of the country at least Congress
is not depended upon for' every under
taking of magnitude, and that this Is
still a land In which the Individual can
get along without so much government.
Gas Engine Efficiency.
Cassler's Magazine.
It is evident that a slow-running gas
engine must give a higher conditional
efficiency than the small, .high-speed
motor engine.
The reason is not far to seek, because
the gas-engine cylinder, by Its size,
holds a greater quantity of hot gas
exposed to a relatively smaller surface
than the small-capacity motor cylinder.
This is quite in accordance with com
mon knowledge, because the area in
creases as the square of the diameter,
whereo.8 the surface Increases directly
as the diameter: and It Is also well
known that the temperature of a small
body of gas for a one-mixture con
dition Is only" equal to that of a much
larger body. Therefore, the relatively
smaller dispersing surface of the gas
engine cylinder Is entirely In favor of
efficiency.
As a practical determination of the
heat of a gas-engine cylinder. It should
never be allowed to exceed tbe tempera
ture given by the makers: whilst a
motor cylinder should be kept ss cool
as possible consistent with the qualtity
of water the car can carry.
A Landscape In Miniature.
Century.
The Japanese landscape garden Is
purely a work of art, constructed af

by fixed conventions every detail as
much a matter of prearrangement as
the strategy of a military campaign.
Like the Japanese painting. It alms to
express the spirit, the soul, the senti
ment of a landscape; and while It la
conventional and the product of arbi
trary arrangement. It Is yet nature
nature Idealized, . tamed, trained and
brought to tho perfect scale and har
mony. It la a great landscape In min
iature, often the mere suggestion, the
impression of some famous landscape
of the empire, but never tne abject
copy of any one natural -scene. Rather
It Is an Idealization of some happy ac

on it. -

BITTER FIGHT IS WAGED
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS HOLD
TWO ' STATE CONVENTIONS.
Mayor Harrison and Kogcr Sullivan
Clah, and Hamilton Lewis
Writes Both Plat forms.
PKOP.IA. 111., April 20. Mayor Har
rison, of Chicago, and the National com
mitteeman. Roger C. Sullivan, refusing
every suggested basis of compromise,
continued Friday their bitter tight for
control of the Illinois Democracy by
holding two distinct state Democratic
conventions and nominating two sets
of delegates from Cook County and the
state-at-large to the National conven
tion. There was selected only one set or
down-state, electors, however.
SulHvan leaders said tonight Mayor
Harrison had read himself out of the
Democratic party by his refusal to en
ter the Sullivan convention and that
tha Chicago executive could have no
standing at Baltimore. . "
The Harrison men expressed confi
dence tht they would obtain a hear
ing on the Cook County and the state-at-large
situation from the Democratic
National convention and that they ex
pected Sullivan's apparent strength
would be diminished considerably at
that time.
The platform drafted by James Ham

both conventions. It pledged the-delegates
to support Speaker Clark and
the other candidates nominated in the
recent state primaries.
