PROVES MOST INTERESTING.
ALBAXT. Or, May 17. (Special.)
Initial steps toward submitting a bill
through the Initiative to establish the
preferential rotlng system, including
first, second and third choices, for
United States Senators and state offi
cers, were taken in the closing hours
of the 40th annual session of the Ore
gon State Grange early this morning.
A resolution favoring this system-of
voting was adopted and the -Orange
was authorized to co-operate with the
Federation of Labor, the Farmers'
Union and kindred organizations re
garding the plan of action to pursue
In this matter, and. If necessary, to as
a'.st !n initiating the bill.
All resolutions and motions regard
ing the movement to Invoke the refer
endum on the appropriation for the
University of Oregon were tabled, but
the Grange went on record in favor of
maintaining the University of Oregon
and the Oregon Agricultural College
separately.
Two resolutions bad been Introduced
on the referendum question, one oppos
ing the movement for a referendum
and one supporting It- It was the for
mer resolution which was reported
from the committee on education. Three
members of the committee made a ma
jority report favoring the passage of
the resolution opposing the referendum
movement and one member filed a mi
nority report. An active debate started
on the Boor of the Grange when" the
two reports came In, and, though it
had progressed but a few minutes,
was rapidly growing heated when a
motion was made that the resolution
be laid on the table. This motion car
ried and the resolution was still on the
table when the Grange adjourned.
Education Mm Carries.
Later In the night a motion was
made that the State Grange indorse its
position of a-year ago when It adopted
the report of a committee on higher
educational Institutions recommending
that the University of Oregon and Ore
gon Agricultural College be maintained
separately. This motion carried also.
A mass of business was considered at
the closing session and the Orange did
not adjourn nntll 3 o'clock this morn
ing. With many important matters left
for the final session last night's meet
ing resembled the closing hours of a
session of the Legislature. There was
a great rush of business and It was
only through the executive ability of
C, E. Spence. the State Master, that the
work was accomplished.
The action of the last Legislature In
calling a special election this Fall to
pass upon all matters referred under
the referendum was condemned by the
Grange as a "direct blow at the refer
endum" by a resolution adopteS last
night. This resolution recited that this
bill tended to prevent the people from
Invoking the referendum upon any
measure because It would Impose the
expense of a special election upon the'
people of the state to do so and for
that reason it tends to prevent a full
and free use of the Initiative.
' Legislators UIIara lilt.
The Legislature was condemned also
in another resolution that was passed
yesterday. This resolution - upbraids
the Leglslatupe for passing measures
that have been rejected by the people
through the Initiative or referendum.
The resolution 'recommending that the
state furnish uniforms for public school
children and that the school districts
furnish free lunches at noon was de
feated. The committee to which it was
referred recommended that It do not
pass and the committee report was
adopted without extended discussion.
That mortgages on farm property be
exempted from taxation provided the
rate of Interest Is 6 per cent or less
was the gist of a resolution which was
adopted. If the terms of this resolu
tion are enacted into law it will have
the effect of making 6 per cent the
maximum rate of Interest In this state
on loans on farm mortgages.
The resolution proposing that the
State Legislature be abolished entirely
and that the sole law-making power
be left to the people through the Ini
tiative died in committee.
Craaty Power Advocated.
A resolution that countlos be given
exclusive power to select their officers,
prescribe their duties and regulate their
salaries was adopted also last night.
This plan would take from the State
Legislature the fixing of salaries f
county officers and vest It in the
County Courts of the various counties.
The resolution proposing that the
present plan of having county school
Supervisors as assistants to the County
fcchoo! Superintendent, be abolished,
was never reported back to the grange
from the committee to which it was re
ferred. That soldiers of the United States
Regular Army should ba used to patrol
forest reserves and thus lessen the ex
pense for forest guards, was a rec
commendation made by the grange yes
terday. This matter came up In the re
port of the committee on conservation
and the grange gave its approval to the
suggestion.
That all state eighth grade examina
tions should be dispensed with was an
other recommendation. The committee
on education In Ita report submitted a
recommendation that eighth grade ex
aminations should be confined to read
ing, writing, arithmetic United States
history and geography. After discus
sion the grange substituted for this
proposal a recommendation to the Slate
Board of Education that eighth grade
examinations ba dispensed with alto

Charles K. Hasard.
DRAIN. Or.. May 17. (Spe
cial.) The Mayoralty contest
here between X. D. Cool and
Charles E. Hasard, thrown out of
court at Roseburg Or., was most
Interesting.' The two witnesses
upon whom the prosecution re
lied were James Huntington and
Mrs. Bobror. Huntington
testified that he became of
age while residing in Drain, and
claimed it as his residence, and
Mrs. Bobror testified that she
had lived in Drain before and
after her marriage, and her hus
band, being employed on the rail
road, was called to various -parts
of tne country In the discharge
of his duties and she went with
him. but had never established
her residence anywhere else; J
that she had left part of her
household goods In Drain and
considered it her residence, and
neither she nor her husband had
voted anywhere else. As the case
turned on the testimony of these
two witnesses, the Judge de
clared that no argument was nec
essary, and the case was dis
missed. Judge Fullerton appeared
for Mr. Hasard and Mr. Eddy
for the contestants. Mr. Hasard
has been a resident of Drain for
many years, is postmaster, and
enters upon his third term as
Mayor. He owns property here
in considerable amount, has been
identified with all school mat
ters and is a member of several
lodges.
may be submitted to a referendum vote
of all the subordinate granges In the
atata.
Because of the rush of the closing
hours of the session the proposed change
In the by-laws to abolish the county
convention system of choosing dele
gates to the state grange and leave not
only the choice of delegates to tne state
grange, but the election of
state grange officers as well
directly in the hands of the mem
bers of the subordinate granges was not
adopted. The time was too short for
the grange to consider the details of
the proposed- plan last r.ignt ana tear-InE-
an Imported plan might be adopted
if discussed too hastily and superficially
the bronosal was continued. It Is the
plan to have the matter discussed by
the subordinate granges in tne coming
year, looking toward the adoption of a
well-developed and thoroughly prepared
plan of action under the proposed new
system at the. annual session next year.
The grange voted an appropriation
of f 1200 to assist In extension work in
this state.
Panama Work Indorsed.
The report of the committee on trans
portation, containing a strong Indorse
ment of the work of the Government
on building the Panama Canal, was
adopted.
The legislative committee was In
structed to investigate the expenditure
of state taxes and report at the annual
session at Monmouth in May, 1914.
The grange ordered 950 copies of the
proceedings of this session printed and
adopted resolutions thanking the Al
bany Commercial Club and the granges
of Linn County for entertaining the
session so well and thanking the Moose
Lodge of Albany for postponing its
regular meeting that the grange might
use its hall.
The -delegates began leaving Albany
early this morning and during the fore
noon departed on trains In all direc
tions for their homes in various parts
of the state. Most of them had left
the city by noon. The members gener
ally are giving especial praise to com
mittees on legislation and by-laws.
A great part of the work of the con
vention fell on the committees. A. C
Llbby. of Jefferson, former Represen
tative In the Legislature from Marlon
County, was chairman of the commit
tee on legislation and Austin T. Buxton,
of Forest Grove, former master of the
State Grange, was chairman of the
committee on by-laws. -

garia against Turkey, and does not, as
the one with Servia, define the limits
of the respective territories to be con
quered.
Fate of Salonlkl Undecided.
The question of Salonlkl is, there
fore, left open in It. Since the talcing
of Janina the previous tacit and Im
plied understanding between Greece
and Bulgaria relative to the partition
of former Turkish territory has under
gone considerable modification. And
between Servia and Bulgaria the state
of affairs in this respect is, it any
thing, even worse: certainly the three
chief allies will find the tasK oi aa-
lustinar their claims one or extreme
At flrultv
With that the Bulgarian Minister In
St. Petersburg, Savlch-Bobcheff, seems
a man of only mediocre ability, unable
to grasp the complicated situation in
all Its bearings.
Now. the question has often oeen
asked:
"What makes Austria-Hungary bo
iRtormined to wrest Albania out oi
the Slavic conquerors' hands ana insist.
to the point of waging even war or
threatening to do so, on tne esiamisn-
ment of an autonomous ana inaepena
nt -Albania?" .
The inferiority in the scale or civili
zation of the Albanians an inferiority
acknowledged in some respects an
around is pointed to as one of the
reasons for wonder at Austria-nun-nrv'n
fierce esDOUSal of Albania's
cause, and the fact that the majority
of the Albanians have become Moslems,
while the remainder of them Is split
up into Catholicism both Greek ana
Roman Is used to strengtnen me bi Bu
rnetii
Austria Favors Adequate Albania.
A personage connected in a leading
nnoitinn with the Austro-Huneranan
foreign office explained this to me ful
ly. Without reproducing nere tne
whole of hlg statement, which went
into some of the intricate phases of the
matter, it will suffice to quote here
the gist of what he said.' In the main.
then, Austria-Hungary desires a tree
and adequate Albania one able to hold
her own economically and as a military
force for these reasons, namely:
Albania swallowed up by Greece,
6ervla and Montenegro would be a per.
petual thorn in the flesh or an tnree
of these young powers. Albania could
and would not be digested by them, no
more than Turkey was ever aDio to
digest it. The Albanians, wnue cir
cumstances nave aiviaea mem in me
m&tter of creed, are yet of one homo
geneous stock, direct scions of the an
cient Illyrlans, whom the Romans were
lust as unable to subdue as were the
Turks, and though some be Moslems,
some Christians, the national and race
bond with them Is strongest.
The Albanians will live in rair con
cord together under a ruler of their
own. But to make this new Albania an
entltv caDable of existence and sub
stance It is necessary to let them have
enough land, and enougn towns ior
them to forge ahead In progress. Their
towns of Scutari. Kroja. Tirana, Alesso,
Valona, Durazzo, Canina, Elbasan and
others, are real centers oi civilization
with their schools. newspapers,
churches, etc., and this is especially the
case with Bcutan, wnicn ourms ih
last 2500 years, with occasional breaks
In the chain of continuity, has been
to them what Rome is to Italy.
Gnerllla War Would Follow.
To destroy all this, to let Servia,
Montenegro and Greece gorge them
selves on bits of Albania would mean
an endless guerilla war, to wnlcn tne
character of the country, with Its steep
impassable mountains, its gulches and
canyons, peculiarly lends Itself.
It would mean not only that peace
could not settle over the Balkans, but
that Europe would have to witness an.
other fierce Balkan war before long.
There would be no real settlement of
the Balkan problem. Again, the Bal
kan peoples went to war with Turkey
under the motto: "Freedom for the
oppressed."
This freedom should not be withheld.
solely among tliose concerned, from the
Albanians.
The Servians and Montenegrins have
been, for many centuries past, the bit
terest foes of the Albanians. It wouja
not be right or fair to bring them in
subjection to their ancient enemies. Be
sides all this, it is quite true, Austria-
Huntrary wants an Independent Al
bania, because that would subserve
best her own politjcal and economic
interests on the Balkan peninsula.
One does not need to go into that
chapter here, because that, alone, would
require much space. However, the dual
monarchy went into the six-power de
liberative congress because she had
been assured fair treatment, even from
Russia.
Points Yielded oy Austria.
Austria-Hungary yielded, after many
talks, to seeing Albania deprived of the
towns and districts at Dyakova. Ipek,
Prlzrend. etc on being on her part
solemnly promised that Scutari should
remain with Albania. As a matter of
logic and fairness Austria-Hungary's
position in the whole vexea question is
unassailable. That must be admitted
bv anyone who knows the real facts
fully and without prejudice.
It appears there has been much prov
ocation on the part of both Montene
gro and Servia. about which the Austro-Hungarian
foreign office has pre
ferred to keep silent, for fear of
greater mischief coming therefrom If
the facts crept into the press of Vienna
and Budapest.
In some respects mis present turmoil
In Montenegro reminds one of some of
those noDUlar Vienna operettes, as, for
example, when the delegate of Monte
negro In London, ropovic, on receiv
ing the politely worded request of Eu
rnnn to vacate Scutari after seizing It
against the united wishes of Europe,
lakes the casual remara mat ne nau
nen Instructed by his government to
protest against this unfair and cruel
emand. Tnere were oiner opcremc
features.
Thus, the ministers oi tne six oig
powers having informed the Montene
grin minister of foreign affairs that
thev would call upon him at a certain
stated hour for Important business, on
calling at his door were miormea Dy
the dvornlk (porter) that his master
m-H. nnable to see them because of the
Greek orthodox Easter holidays. And
while Nicholas hlmseir was dictating
personal editorials to his personal or
gan, the Glaa Crnagorca, in which he
hreathed fire and flame against Vienna
and while within a few steps from his
palace occurred anti-Austrian demon-1
strations. which he looked at smiling,
h out diSDatches for effect
abroad asseverating his deep love of
peace.
Vienna Not Seeking Quarrel.
Here In Vienna there Is Just as much
distaste to making war on small, even
tiny, Balkan states as there could be
in'a'ny other country. But a quarrel
may be forced on a person who utterly
abhors quarrels. The wors't feature of
this bad business, so it is considered
here. is. however, that it is only Rus
sia's duplicity that has brought the
wholn urmalatable situation about. It
Is quite likely that much of this duplic
ity has not reached the channels that
lead to London or New York, but here
In Vienna we have heard quite a Dlt
of it-
One striking case I'll mention. Of
all those Russian emissaries, political
agents, ministers, etc., who have blown
the fire into bright flame, the busiest
probably has been M. De Hartwig in
Belgrade, Russia's accredited envoy
there. After the capture of Scutari he
was given a demonstration, with fire
works, flags, band, etc.. and harangued
the crowd from his balcony, saying
that all "good Slavs" must feel elated
at the capture. This only a few days
after he had delivered a piece of ad
vice from Czar Nicholas saying that
Scutari, must remain Albanian. Only
couple of days later this same M. De
Hartwlg receded a high decoratfon
from his imperial master for "conspic
uous and delicate services.
Of course, one must not forget that
In Russia Pan-Slavism has never been
so pervasive and so bold as Just at this
Juncture.. It is a marvel that official
Russia has held out against it so long.
Certainly, it is lucky for the world that
both Nicholas of Russia and Francis
Joseph of Austria-Hungary are such
Intense, such passionate lovers of
peace. In Athens, on the news of tho
capture of Scutari arriving, the Rus
sian minister likewise made a speech
in honor of the event and was answered
by shouts of: "Long live holy Russia
Long live our heroically King Nicholas
of Montenegro!"
King Pardons Former Foe.
In all the bustle and excltiment
visit which this same King Nicholas of
Montenegro paid to the Jail of Pod
gorltza seems to have been overlooked.
In the dungeon there, chained hand
and foot, had wasted away for several
years past the former Montenegrin Pre
mier, Rodovic, and his band of conspir
ators who together had attempted to
carry out the well-known bomb ex
plosion in 1906, by which they Intended
to remove Nicholas and his Council of
State and annex the country to Servia.
This time the King of the small mon
archy went into the cell, lifted up Rod
ovic, kissed him in Slavio fashion on
both cheeks and pardoned him and his
fellows. He probably felt that he and
his dynasty were sale.
The entire press of Austria-Hungary
(save always the Slavic part of It,
Czech, Creation, Slavonian) Is heatedly
patriotic and bellicose these days, and
I venture to say that the crawfishing
done by Austrian diplomacy during the
intricacies of the whole Balkan em
brogllo has not been relished by most
here.
However, through It all the attitude
of England and no less that of Ger
many has been approved here as both
friendly, wise and far-sighted. The
former ill feeling toward the British
Empire, a reflex of the same feeling
prevailing until recently in Germany,
has completely disappeared, and both
Asquith and Sir Edward Grey are lm
mensely admired throughout the Dan
ube monarchy. .
CAPITOL MAY BE IMPROVED
Governor Lister Favors Purchase of
- Adjoining Ground for Park.
OLTMPIA, Waslu, May 17. (Special.)
That two more blocks of property
may be added to that reserved for the
bapitol building group in this city
seems probable the City Council and
the state capltol commission having
agreed to make an effort to secure
them. They will cost not less than $16,
000 and It will be necessary to move
the stone high school building if the
plans materialize. .
The capitol grounds are hidden from
view by residence , property and the
high school building between Main
street and the grounds and between
Twelfth-and Thirteenth streets. It is
proposed to purchase the two blocks
and improve them as an approach to
the proposed capitol group, with walks
driveways and parkings.
This is a pet project of Governor
Lister and was broached for the first
time last night at a meeting of the
commission and the City Council rela
tive to the improvement of certain
streets about the capitol grounds.
