THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 27, 1913. 3 BOOK BY AMERICAN AROUSES GERMANY Portland Woman, in "The Am bassadress," Reveals Aris tocracy's Secrets. INSIDE KNOWLEDGE SHOWN Miss Montgomery, Writing as "Will lam Wrlothesley,' Brings Down Char (jo She Abused Privi lege of Hospitality. BERLIN, July 26. (Special.) Over the teacups in the Berlin drawing rooms much comment is being expend ed on "The Ambassadress," or, rather, & pen picture drawn of her In a new book bearing this title. The Identity of the author is concealed under the nom de plume "William "Wrlothesley," but It is barely necessary to read through the first chapter to know that it is a clear case of "cherchex la fcmme." Moreover and it is this which has aroused the indigation of Berlin diplomatic circles it has been written by a woman who has had extended to her the hospitality of the court and diplomatic society and who has abused this privilege by drawing thinly dis guised potraits of her hosts and re tailing highly spiced anecdotes at their expense. An intimate knowledge of court cere monial and all the poignant episodes of the recent season leave no doubt as to the material having been gathered at first hand. The book deals with the flotsam and Jetsam of gossip to be found floating on the surface of the social waters in any large capital, but with the collect ing of which a woman rarely ever soils her hands. Although the name of the author of "The Ambassadress" Is withheld In Berlin, she is believed to be Miss Mar garet Montgomery, a well-known so ciety girl of Portland, who is a daugh ter of Mrs. J. B. Montgomery and a sister of Mrs. Walter F. Burrell. Miss Montgomery has been presented In court to Emperor William, of Germany, and is familiar with German diplomatic life. Members of her family have re fused to confirm or deny that she is the author of the much-discussed novel, but her intimate friends in Portland say she wrote "The Ambassadress." BRIDGE PLAN IS CHANGED Southern Pacific Alters Type of Draw Over Ooos Bay. NORTH BEND, Or., July 26. (Spe cial.) It is announced that the South ern Pacific officials have decided to change the plan of the big bridge across Coos Bay here to give the Coos Bay-Eugene line, now under construc tion, entrance to North Bend and Marshfleld. They originally planned swing- draws, but the War Department, in the permit, notified them that in case the draw proved hazardous that they would have to maintain a tug and take vessels through free. In consequence, they have decided to put In a draw like the one In the big new drawbridge at Portland, thereby increasing the distance between the piers to nearly 300 feet, or double what they originally intended. This is said to be the cause of delay in the starting of the construction of the big bridge, which, with Jts approaches, will cost about 1, 000.000. PARTY WINGS MAY UNITE Washington Republicans See Hope for Union of Two Factions. 1 OLYMPIA, Wash., July 26. (Spe I clal.) In the selection of I Roy Slater, I of Spokane, to succeed Edgar C. Sny- aer, ox Deaiue, as cnairman oi ine pro gressive state central committee, poll- 1 ticians believe they can see some hope or effecting a change in sentiment that may result In reuniting divided ele ments of the Republican party. Mr. Slater, unlike Mr. Snyder, trained and worked for years with the old-line Re publicans and most of his friends now are In the old party ranks. Whereas Mr. Snyder was a firebrand. Slater was one of the last of the Roosevelt men in the state to make up his mind to go with the new party. Although he largely financed the Eastern Washington pre-convention campaign and was prominent both in this state and as a delegate to Chicago, Mr. Slater left the country for a trip abroad during the Fall campaign and friends say it was because he hesitated to mix in a political fight with his lormer lrlenis.
