THE SUNDAY OREGO XIAX, PORTLAND, MARCH 13, 1914. SETTLERS PROTEST CASH REQU1REMEN Secretary Lane, However, Un likely to Abate Demand as L to Water Charges. PLEA OF HARDSHIP MADE the least possible frivolous conversa tion over the telephone on the part of the wife. Judge Rochford thought that under ordinary circumstances Cupid could pilot the connubial ship to a safe harbor. Pfisterer is an architect and both he and his wife are young. .She entered suit for divorce originally, alleging cruel and inhuman treatment, and he filed a cross complaint, charging that -irs. pfisterer treated him cruelly and denying that he was the cause of their separation. Then each denied the charges made by the other. Pfisterer told the court that his wife was too much in the company of other men, auto riding and canoeing, but he said that her relations with them were nothing more than those of a friend. They quarreled violently, he said, when Mrs. Pfisterer was called to the tele phone and, after holding a conversation with some one. refused to tell him to whom she had been talking. Head of Interior Department Iteplies 1'u rid Must Have Source of Revenue, Else AVork Mill Come to Standstill. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash lngton, March 13. Western Senators and Representatives are receiving ap peals from settlers on Government irri gation' projects to modify the pending irrigation bill so as to relieve settlers on new projects from the payment of 6 per cent of the water charge at the lime tney me entry. This bill, which an Administration measure, gives set tlers 20 years instead of ten in which to pay for water. Secretary Lane, who Jieartily approves the extension feature, xninns it is on.'y fair to require 5 per cent or tne total payment when the cntryman goes on the land. After that payment is made the set tler is exempt from further payment Jor five years. He then pays 5 per cent each year for the next five years and 7 per cent annually for the last ten years. Poor Settlers Protest. The protests which have reached Washington say that poor settlers can not afford to pay 6 per cent at the time they go on the land. Such a pay ment, it Is declared, would work : hardship. Senators Borah and Brady, of Idaho, and Representative Smith, of that state, have been particularly active In opposing the 5 per cent re- fluirement as outlined by Secretary Lane, but the Secretary is not disposed to change his attitude and it is ex tremely doubtful whether this 5 per cent requirement can be eliminated. Secretary Lane points out that un less such a payment is required, the reclamation fund will bo rapidly de pleted and In the near future construe lion work will come practically to a standstill. He says it is necessary to have some fixed source of revenue aside from the sale of the lands, and it is his Judgment that the exaction of . the 5 per cent at the time of filing will not be a hardship on anyone. Compromise Plan Offered. Representative Smith, of Idaho, has proposed a compromise under which settlers would pay 1 per cent annually for the first five years, in lieu of pay ing & per cent at the start and being exempt from payment for the ensuing five years. His plan has some sup porters, but it is more than likely the bill will pass in the form recommended by Secretary Lane. LED.OOV RESIDENT DIES AT ADVANCED AGE OF 01. Y Tt ) A ih Jk ? - i Pboebe Arnold Gatschell. LEBANON. Or.. March 14. (Special.) Phoebe Arnold Gat schell, who died here recently, was born in New Brunswick, September 13. 1822. She was 91 years old at death. She was mar ried to A. N. Gatschell when 18 years of age. To them was born three daughters and one son. Later the family went from Maine to North Dakota, where Mr. Gatschell died March 22. 1871, when past 80 years of age. She and a widowed daughter. Mrs. Debora Hughson, took a Govern ment homestead in North Da kota and made their final proof. Two years ago they came to Ore gon and have made their home in Lebanon with Mrs. Annie Greer. She is survived by two daughters. Mrs. Hughson, of Leb anon, and Mrs. W. V. Parker, of North Dakota. Mrs. Pfisterer, on the other hand, ac cused her husband of striking her. He aeniea mat ne nad done so, but said she wanted mm to strike her. E E M EN OF ULSTER TO GAIV EXPERIENCE NOW. FIELD Opponents of Home Rule Hare Min Battle and Work Declared Worthy , of Trained Campaigners. BELFAST, March 12. (Special.) The Ulster volunteer movement has now taken a decidedly forward step. In order that large bodies of men may be enabled to devote themselves entirely to field operations, arrangements are being made whereby several thousand in the Belfast area will be in rotation free entirely for several weeks from their ordinary occupations. The num bers that have volunteered already for this is quite remarkable, even to those who know the spirit of intense earnestness that is such a marked feature of the volunteer movement. In these specially select ed thousands there will be a large pro portion of ex-military men, and they will go into camp almost immediately. Three thousand men in Belfast alone have' enrolled themselves already, al though the scheme is yet In its infancy. Practically the whole strength of the volunteers can be relied upon to follow the example, in order to complete In camp the drilling so sedulously con ducted hitherto in drill-yards. In country areas the same thing is in progress, and, indeed, in some re spects the rural districts are ahead of Belfast. For examnle.f at Killymoon Desmesne, which ft : rose to Cooks town, in County Tyrone, over 1000 men were engaged throughout one whole day in advance maneuvers, of ficered by Colonel Alexander, Captain Kicardo and others. A mimic battle was fought, blank cartridges being used. The contending parties went into action as completely equipped in details as if the fight was an affair of deadly earnest. The attacking line was roughly a mile in length, and a river had to be bridged. This task the attackers performed, though at first repulsed in the effort. The as sault was carried out with great dash and skill, and the commanding offic ers expressed unbounded satisfaction with the way attack and defense had been sustained. Drummond Wood was the vantage point of the defenders, and the way in which the attacking force advanced upon It was worthy of trained soldiers. The signalling, am bulance, and dispatch-riding corps be have extremely well. SMUGGLERS MIMIC NUNS Stumble Exposes Three Members of Famous Italian Gang. GENEVA, March 13. (Special.) inree young women dressed as nuns were arrested at Chiasso recently bv the Italian customs officials. Thev were going past with the usual down cast eyes and discreet air appropriate to tneir naoits, when one of them stumbled and from her ample sleeve fell a packet of cigars. A lynx-eyed official noticed the slin and pounced down upon the woman and her com panions, a searcn snowed that con cealed in their robes they had quite a large supply of saccharin and tobacco which they were bringing across the Swiss-Italian frontier. The supposed nuns, in fact, belonged to a gang of smugglers whose ingenuity in dodging tne customs authorities is well known. "HERO" RESCUES ONE DOG Fire Debarment Called Out to Dis lodge Urchin's Pet. CHICAGO, March 9 The fire depart ment was called out to rescue a little black dog which had crawled into the narrow space between the. two build ings at 1108 and 1110 Argyle street and could not dislodge himself. Firemen Lindquist and Murphy chopped a hole through the side of the building and liberated the animal. But when Murphy attempted to pick up the dog he was rudely brushed aside by an urchin, who reached down, gathered the dog in his arms and ran away screaming, ''That's my dog." A recent census, the first of the kind ever taken, credited Denmark with more than i.000,-400 fruit trees. DIVORCE CAUSES FOUND JOV RIDES AND SLIT SKIRT CHIEF OFFENDERS SAYS COURT. Fewer X-Ray Gowns, Less Talk Over Telephone and Bnn on Boasting of Other Women Advised. INDIANAPOLIS, March 9 Judge Rochford, of Superior Court, in denying a divorce to Otto A. Pfisterer and his wife. Marguerite L., each of whom sought a legal separation, took occasion lo express his views on the cause of divorces, and he suggested a number of indulgences which he believes enter largely into the cause of unhapiness on the part of young married folk. The Judge declared that if there werel fewer automobile rides by husbands and wives (with other wives and other hus bands) the divorce rate would be given a. decided setback. So-called X-ray gowns and split skirts, he said, are responsible for many domestic disasters. lie condemned the practice of many young husbands of commenting on the attractions of other! women, or oi ooasLing vs. ineir con quests, as another cause of storms in the matrimonial seas.

OWN SERVICE IS DONATED Ex-Senator Enjoys Benefit of All Personal Advertisement Apper taining, but Is Doing AH of Serious Work. . OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, March 14. An appropriation has been Inserted in the postoffice appro priation bill carrying J25.000 to con tinue in operation for another year two special commissions of which -ex-Sen ator Bourne is chairman. One commis slon is working on the question of good post roads and the other is working out a new system of railway r-.ail pay. These two commissions were created by Congress at a time when Senator Bourne was chairman of the postof fice committee, and the Senator, by reason of his position at that time, was made chairman cZ both. Since his re tirement from the Senate Mr. Bourne has accepted no compensation for his work as chairman of these commis sions, donating his services to the Got eminent. It is true that Mr. Bourne is getting all of the personal advertisement that cpmes from these two commissions, but it is also to be said in his behalf that he is the only member of either com mission who is giving serious attention to the question of good roads legislation and to the readjustment o railroad mail pay. Others on these commissions have looked over the subjects, or rather overlooked them, but no one except Mr. Bourne has gotten down to real serious consideration either of the good roads problem or the proposal to readjust railway mail pay until recently, when a few sessions of one commission were held. The good roads plan submitted to Congress was actually Mr. Bourne's plan and. while the Democrats may have justification for complaining that their members of the commission were ignored, it is nevertheless true that ex- Senator Bourne is the man who worked out the plan now under consideration. NEW CARDINALS LIKELY REPORT IS THAT CONSISTORY IS TO CREATE AT LEAST 10. Sacred College Probably Will Return Proportionate Membership of 2S Italians to 27 Foreigners. ROME, March 9. Of the thousand and one stories that are being circu lated with regard to the coming Con sistory, there is not a single one that rests on any solid foundation. Indeed, there is only one thing that can be said about it with absolute certainty, and that is that no one knows anything about it except the Pope himself; for a Consistory, more than any other great function, depends on the will and per sonal judgment of the reigning Pontiff, nd the Pope s Intention today may be altered by the circumstances of to morrow. , The "nomination of 60 new Bishops and Archbishops" announced from Par is is a safe pnough prophecy, each Con sistory being in the ordinary course the occasion for the "preconization" of all Archbishops and Bishops ap pointed since that last held, and more than 60 have been made since Decem ber. 1912. The first definite information of the coming Consistory will be gained from the official announcement of the date and list of the new Cardinals, which will appear in the Vatican organ, the Osservatore Romano and the Con istory itself will take place about a month after the announcement; but until that appears all is guesswork. There are, of course, some people in Rome who are better qualified to guess than others, and the genera impres sion In well-informed ecclesiastical cir cles is that the Consistory will bo held a couple of weeks after Easter. At least 10 Cardinals will be created. The plenum of the Sacred College is 70; at present it contains 55 members, in cluding the Cardinal created in the Consistory of November, 1911, but re served in pectore and the name not yet announced, but who is generally be lieved to be . Mgr. Bello. Patriarch of Lisbon. Counting Cardinal Falconio as a non-Italian (he is an American citizen), the proportions are 28 Italians to 27 foreigners, and it is thought that these proportions are likely to remain, the "internationalization" of the Sa cred College having progressed far of late years. The Archbishops of Co logne. Lyons and Vienna, and one Spanish Prelate, probably the Arch bishop of the Primatlal See, Toledo, are considered certainties, as far as anything can be certain; also another German Cardinal "in Curia," the names of Mgr. Heiner and Father Esser, Do minican, and Secretary of the Congre gation of the Index, having been men tioned, but opinion centering now on Mgr. Frutwirth, also a Dominican, and Nuncio to Munich. Of Italians Mgr. Delia Chiesa, secretary to Cardinal Rampolla when he was at the Secre tariate of Stat9 under Leo XIII, and now Archbishop of Bologna, Is consid ered sure, but few will venture to prophesy further. STATUS . OF "H" IN DISPUTE Grammatical Authorities of England Revive Old Argument. LONDON, March 12. Should we say "an hotel or a hotel?" This hbsurd question has actually cropped up once more in England and an energetic newspaper correspondence on the use of aspirates is in progress in a. Lon don newspaper. A correspondent hazards the opinion that modern education (so-called) has made a bogey of the letter "h" and the generation lately grown up lives in mortal terror of being thought to be long to a. class that leaves out its aitches. It is not so long ago that the "h" was saldom aspirated in subsidiary words,' and even In such words as "hos pital," "hospitality," etc. In "humble" it would probably have remained silent but for Uriah Heep. It is evident that our forefathers 300 years ago omitted to aspirate the "h" in many words in which they are usually sounded now. Otherwise the translators of the Bible (A. V.) would never have given us, for example: "An horse is a vain thing for safety," or "Solomon built hm an house." It is certainly ratlier strange that the omission of the aspirates should have come to be considered "bad class" when we reflect that the silent "h" was introduced into our language by the Normans, who unquestionably in fused Into our rough Saxon customs and manners of speech many refinements oa higher cultivation and greater re finement. And, to this day, in the most polished of modern languages French the aspirate "h" is unknown. AUTHORS NEED INSPIRATION "Yet," he says, "although I have no theory about inspiration, I am wholly dependent upon it for assistance in my work. To sit down and do my daily quota would be a heavy punishment. For a, day or two. a. restless mood comes over me. Some invisible will-o'-the-wisp is calling. Then suddenly I am compelled t& sit, and an insistent, mys terious force compels me to record the action and thoughts of characters that suddenly resolve themselves into re ality." Naturally, Warwick Deeping is a slow and careful worker, but since the publication of that exquisite romance. "Uther and Igraine," he has gone from strength to strength, and few modern novelists can claim the eulogy that was meted out to his vast volume, "Sincerity." Many Modern Writers Wait Right Period to Work. for LONDON. March 12. (Special.) It would be both interesting and instruc tive to discover how many of our mod ern novelists still believe In the inspi ration method. Warwick Deeping -com menced his professional career as a doctor, and the scientific method he Imbibed then should logically have left him little dependent on this mode of literary creation. knox hats spring 1914 wmiwi we want you to see them, we want to show you "the styles" for spring m.
