HERRICK MENTIONED, TOO 2 Ex-Ambassador's Friends Fostering Boom La Follette, Like Bryan, Is Own Publicity Manager and Prints Own Journal. ; OREGONIAN SETS BUREAU, Wash ington. Jan. 30. Notwithstanding; that IS months must elapse before the Re publican party, through its National convention, chooses a candidate to head the National ticket in the 1916 cam paign, press agents already are at work in an effort to manufacture sentiment in favor of the candidates by whom they are employed. Several are now busily grinding out interviews and other stories designed to promote the candidacies of certain Republicans who regard themselves as of Presidential size. For several weeks tlie Fairbanks publicity agent has been at work quoting men of more or less prominence as favoring- the nomination of the ex-Vice-President. A Cummins agent has also been employed and wll soon begin the manufacture of "copy' lor general distribution. Mr. Herrlrk'a Frleadi Active. Perhaps tho first press agency started in behalf of any Republican candidate was that organized in the interest o: . iMyron T. Herrlck, of Ohio, ex-Ambas aador to France, but this agent, it is reported, is being sustained by Mr, JlerrlcKs friends and not by Mr. Her rick nimseil. Senator LaFolIette. of Wisconsin. I: is own press agent, for, like Secre tary Bryan, he has his own weekly journal and through that is able to reach the public. Other Republicans who 'have been mentioned for the Presidential nom Snatlon have been approached recently by professional publicity men. and there is keen rivalry for this class of work. Candidates, other than those named, have declined 'to dicker with those who undertake to "mold public sentiment, and likewise have declined at this early date to put forth any par ticular efforts to create favorable sen- ' ". t sj .. . .J;iaiMg' II I - timent. Publicity Idea Popular. . The publicity agent lias become i distinctive feature of latter-day poll tics, and especially National politics. The idea was first exploited on a large scale in 1908, when Republicans op posed to Colonel Roosevelt organized what was popularly known as the 'allies" for the avowed purpose of forcing the nomination of some Re publican other than Tart, who was the Roosevelt candidate that year. In spite of all the publicity men could do, President Roosevelt was able to swing the National convention of that year, and tho allies went down to defeat. However, that one defeat has not dis couraged other politicians who believe in publicity, and as time goes on. oth er candidates for the 1916 nomination are likely to take up the publicity idea and open publicity bureaus of their own. The beljef is strong among some politicians that publicity of this sort is worth a great deal, and the proles- sional publicity agents are pushing their game for all it is worth while this idea is popular. EBER'S EXPLOITS TOLD GKRM.IX (.IXBOAT HAS EXCITING C.IRGER EARLY IX WAR. ml Vessel Finally Stripped tm Arm Auxiliary Cruiser Cap Trafalgar and Boas to Brazil for Refuse. BERLIN, Jan. 30, via London. Guns from the German gunboat Kbcr, now interned at Bahia, Bra- xiL were used to arm the German aux iliary cruiser Cap Trafalgar and the little gunboat 0t only 1000 tons' dis placement had previously an adventur ous few weeks of commerce destroying in the South Atlantic, where she played a role worthy of mention with the ex ploits of the German cruisers Emden nd Karlsruhe. These details come from Interesting stories of the cruise written by mem bers of the interned crew reaching here and from reports printed in a German newspaper in Braxil. The Kber at the outbreak of the war was anchored n Leudrltx Bay. German Southwest Africa. She immediately put 10 sea with a squadron of freight steamships loaded with coal and sup plies. These vessels soon could be sent elsewhere because the Eber was able to obtain all her requisites from her first three British prizes. After four weeks a rendezvous was arranged by wireless telegraphy with the German steamship Cap Trafalgar and all the guns and ammunition of the warship were transferred to the steam ship. Then the defenseless Eber, with only 30 of her original crew of 130, of ilcers and men aboard, ran for Bahia. narrowly escaping capture by several British warships.

Wash ington, Jan. 30. While Postmaster- General Burleson is abandoning rural free delivery routes and star routes, especially in the Western states, "be cause the condition of the Federal Treasury calls for economy' other branches of the Administration are dis regarding the depleted condition of the Treasury and are seeking new ways of spending money in large lumps. This condition of Affairs was emphasized by Senator Sherman, of Illinois, in a re cent speech, when he said: "From December, 1913. to November 30. 1914, disbursements of the Govern ment exceeded its receipts by nearly $15,000,000. During this time we had an internal revenue tax, a corporation tax, an income tax, a war tax and a tariff for revenue only, with promises of others as soon as the Administration can take a day off from devising new bills to increase the Treasury deficit. "The Democratic party holds the rec ord as the spendthrift of nations for over half a century. The sum of $3o. 000,000 has been appropriated for i Government railway in Alaska, $25, 000,000 will be asked to console Co lombia for her failure to blockade the construction of the Panama Canal un less her rapacity and insolence were satisfied, $10,000,000 increase In sal aries and the creation of new offices has been authorized and there Is $100,- 000,000 increase over the last Repub lican Administration, testifying to faithful endeavors for economy and civil service reform. And now an ap propriation of $30,000,000 is asked for Government steamship line, thus rounding out a record to which Demo crats can point with pride or view with alarm, as they may chance to be frugal or liberal in their dispositions.

Then he appeared on the station platform, she said, where she and her husband stood "15 feet away." Mrs. Patterson said she went inside the station presently and her husband followed in a few minutes. "He said, 'Mamma, that man hit me an awful blow over my heart an awful blow,' she testified. "He raised his arms to show me. I tried to hold him up. but he fell to" his knees and I saw blood on him. He had been stabbed to the heart." The priest looked in at the window. she swore, and threatened to shoot her if she did not go away. James Sheriffs testified he was on the platform, but not close enough to see the actual stabbing, and that he heard Mullin say: "I'll kill you all. I'm the Lord God Almighty." "Mullin swore at me and tried to stab me." said F. W. Stackwell, a bag gage asent, who reached the platform just after the stabbing. "In my opinion, he was intoxicated.' Mullin denies recollection of the event.
