LONDON. March 20. A German aero
plane dropped several bombs today off
Deal, a seaport on the Strait of Dover.
The bombs all fell In the sea. A patrol
boat opened lire on the aeroplane, which
turned and disappeared.
One of the bombs dropped alongside
the American bark Manga Reva and
deluged her with a great volume of
water.
British air scouts started In pursuit
of the German aeroplane, but appar
ently were too late to overtake it.
PHILADELPHIA, March 20. The
American bark Manga Reva, which nar
rowlv escaped being struck by a bomb
dropped by a German aviator at Deal,
Kngland. has had an unusual career.
Crew Attacked by Jiatlves.
The Manga Reva was formerly the
British bark Pyrennes, and was built
on the Clyde in 1891. In 19U0, while
bound from Rangoon to Newcastle, New
South Wales, she struck the Island of
Manga Reva, a low-lying coral reef In
the South Pacific. When the vessel
struck the natives, many of whom never
had seen a white man, showed an un
friendly spirit and attacked the crew
with spears. When the natives ex
hausted their supply of weapons the
crew, carrying rifles, went ashore and
captured several of the natives who
were responsible for the attack.
For months the. 33 In the crew lived
on the Island without being further mo
lested. ubsisting mainly on cocoanuts
and birds' eggs. All hands finally were
rescued by a passing vessel and taken
to San Francisco.
Tiie wreck was sold at auction in San
Francisco for 1235 to a Captain Thayer,
who fitted out & wrecking expedition,
floated the ship in March, 1902, brought
her to California, repaired her, placed
the vessel under the American flag and
named her Manga Reva. after the
island on which she was wrecked.
In October, 1913. while the Manga
Reva was on a voyage around Cape
Horn from Philadelphia to San Fran
cisco, the majority of her crew mu
tined. bound the captain and first mate,
locked them In their cabins and navi
gated the vessel back to the Delaware
breakwater. There the crew was ar
rested and some of them were tried and
convicted of mutiny on the high seas
and received prison sentences. The crew
asserted the food furnished was bad and
that they were ill-treated by the cap
tain, who was relieved of his command.

GRADE CROSSINGS SEEN
Commission May Only Alleviate Con
ditions Pending CJiange.
Some of the grade crossings on the
main line of the O.-W. Ft. & N. Com
pany in the city limits of Portland
are daazerous, say member of tne
State Railroad Commission. - who yes
terday conducted an inspection on this
subject.
However, in view of the fact that
the city has arranged with the O.-W.
R. & N. Company to eliminate most of
the grade crossings within the city
limits, it is probable that the Commis
sion will seek ' only to alleviate the
conditions temporarily.
The Commission has authority to or
der installation of bells, gates, watch
men or other safety appliances, but
cannot order changes of grades. At
some of the worst places these safety
appliances already have been installed.
Where they are lacking the Commis
sion may order them Installed, pending
permanent relief through grade elim
inations. The Commission heard reports yes
terday from officials of the city en
gineering bureau relative to the plans
already made. In the afternoon tne
Commission, accompanied by B. E.
Palmer, superintendent of the O.-W. R.
& X. Company, and A. C. Spencer, gen
erar attorney, together with city offi
cials, made a trip over the line from
the Union station to the city limits.
The crossing at Sandy Road is said
to be the most pronounced, of the dan
rnnii true and probably the most
dangerous because it is subject to more
traffic, hut other crossings where there
is not so much traiiic are- sam i u
just as deadly because, they are not so
well protected.
MOTHER SMITH IS DEAD
"PRISON AXCEL" PASSES A WAV AT
HO MB OF DAUGHTER.
Death Brings. Sorrow to Hundreds of
Portland Woman's Boys, as She
Called Men In Prisons.
"Mother" Smith, famous as a prison
worker and known in the Northwest as
the "prison angel," is dead. She died
yesterday at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Anna L. Hooper, on East Four
teenth, near Clinton street. She was
79 years old: Her name was Mrs.
Cynthia Catherine Smith, but she was
known for the past 35 years as
"Mother" Smith.
She had been confined to her bed for
the past four months.
' "Mother" Smith was born in Tennes
see, and came to Oregon and settled in
Portland in 1877. On a visit to a neigh
bor who had been placed under arrest
fbr some crime, Mrs. Smith became in
terested in prison work, and up to her
disability had been active in the. Port
land jails, the penitentiary at Salem
and at Walla Walla.
"Mother" Smith was the first to hold
religious services in the Salem peni
tentiary. There was no chapel n tne.
penitentiary when she began holding
services there, and through her efforts
a chapel was established. The pent
tentiary had no library, and "Mother'
Smith took the first lot of books to the
penitentiary and established the library
She visited the Penitentiary once a
month, preaching to the convicts in an
effective, sympathetic manner that won
and held their attention. Her visit was
always welcomed by the convicts and
prison officials, for she always brought
sunshine.
Her chief work was in the city and
countv Jails and the rock piles in Port
land. Her methods were peculiarly her
own. She talked to the prisoners as a
mother would to her sons, and won
man? a man from the path of crime to a
life of usefulness. Mrs. Smith visited
the penitentiary at Walla Walla, Wash.,
every two months and preached to the
convicts. A few years ago she went
back to Joplin, Mo., where she preached
In the state penitentiary. Sick or well,
It made no difference, she went every
Sunday to the city jails, bringing mes
sages of good cheer and hope. She held
out to every prisoner the hope that he
might reform and lead a useful me,
and hundreds of her "boys," as she
called the prisoners, will hear of her
death with deep sorrow.
The funeral will take place today at
2 P. M. from the house. Rev. C. Howard
Davis, of the First Church of the
Nazarene, officiating. Interment will
be in Lone Fir Cemetery.

A. E. CLARK PLEABS
FOR FORMER WIFE
Judge Cleeton Asked to Avoid,
if Possible, Sending Mrs.
Clark to Public Asylum.
CARE BY FRIEND IS URGED
Promise Also Made Court That if
Further Financial Provision Is
Xecessary for Patient's "Wel
fare It Will Be Provided.
Request that his former wife. Mar
cella Clark, who has been adjudged in
sane, be not sent to an Insane asylum,
but be placed in the hands of some
well balanced, competent woman, agree
able to her, is made by A. E. Clark
in a letter sent to County Judge Clee
ton, who will be called upon to decide
what will, be done with Mrs. Clark.
The letter was sent because Mr. Clark
had to leave town for several days on
business and would be unable there
fore to appear in person before Judge
Cleeton in the proceedings.
Mr. Clark says he Is willing to do
all he can for the benefit of Mrs. Clark.
He says he will continue to give her
$150 a month and provide her a home.
He says he will provide for any ex
traordinary or unusual medical atten
tion necessary which cannot be paid
for out of the 1150. He asks that spe
cial care be taken that the money go
for the support of Mrs. Clark and not
be diverted to others whose cupidity
might Snduce them to serve her so
long aa there was profit in so doing.
He says in the letter that he held oft
divorce proceedings as long as pos
sible in hope that conditions might
change.
Coplea Sent Attorneys.
Mr. Clark's letter, dated yesterday,
addressed' to Judge Cleeton, was as
follows:
"Dear Sir A. professional engage
ment calls me away from the city for
several days, and. thinking that pos
sibly some proceedings concerning my
former wife, Marcella Clark, might
come before you in my absence, I deem
it proper, upon the eve of my going, to
submit to you the views herein ex
pressed. I would have preferred to
submit them orally, in the presence of
yourself and representatives of both
sides, had time and opportunity per
mitted. But in lieu of this I am writ
ing you and am sending a copy of this
letter by The same mail to such rep
resentatives.
"It is not my desire that Mrs. Clark
be placed in a public insane asylum,
if there is any other solution of the
present situation. I think her condi
tion requires care, supervision and a
measure of restraint for her best
physical and mental well-being, to the
end that she may. if possible, be re
stored to a state of usefulness to so
ciety, of which sne is capable if her
abilities are rightly directed.
Friend of Mrs. Clark Suggested.
"As to the person who shall be ap
pointed guardian, I have no choice, and
no suggestion to make. If, from among
her friends, the court can select some
well-balanced, competent woman agree
able to her, who will deal with the sit
uation impartially and who will see
that the provision made for the support
of Mrs. Clark is devoted to that pur
pose, this in my judgment should be
done.
"I am furnishing Mrs. Clark a home,
and in addition the sum of $150 per
month. It is my desire and my pur
pose to see that she is provided with
all such care and medical attention as
she shall need, and if the provision
now made for her,, viz: $150 and the
use of the home, is insufficient to pro
vide for any extraordinary or unusual
modical attention, such as the care of
her eyee, or for any other purpose, I
will make further provision within
the reasonable limits of my ability to
do so.
"I wish, however, to make it clear
and emphatic, that what Is furnished
for her care and support should be
devoted to that use, and should not be
permitted to be wasted, or diverted to
others, whose cupidity might induce
them to serve her sc. long as there
was profit in so doing.
Plea Made for Liberty.
"It may not be out of place for me
to offer the suggestion that she be
given such liberty of action as is con
sistent with her own well-being, with
due regard for the rights of others.
This may mean care, medical attention
and such degree of restraint as will
prevent those who have not her best
welfare in view from continually in
citing and encouraging her to excesses,
and keeping her mind in a "constant
state of turmoil and excitement, which
injures her in a much larger degree,
than any one else, and which has
brought upon her so much unpleasant
notoriety.
"If the present situation could be thus
dealt with firmly and wisely, it might
be productive of an Improvement; and
if such a happy result could be brought
about, and her normal, mental condition
was restored, it may be confidently as
serted that she would be the first one
to regret and repudiate the roollsn
stories told by herself about herself.
and the unfounded assaults upon myself
and others, and thus might the resent
ments created by what has occurred, if
indeed any now exist, be obliterated.
Position Is Explained.
"What has recently occurred may
justify a further statement:
"That at any time .within the last
three or four years I could have pro
cured a divorce is not even a debatable
question, but for yeare, rather than
begin any proceedings. I bore with the
situation until the time cane when,
if I intended to further protect my
name, continue the work in my pro
fession and thus provide for. myself
and the future support of Mrs. Clark,
it was imperative that a separation
take place in order to get away from
a condition that must inevitably de
stroy me and do no good to her. I
made a voluntary provision' for Mrs.
Clark, which the law did not exact
and which no 'court, under the law,
could exact, in the sum of $150 a
month and the use of a home, pur
chased at a cost of $16,000, with a
further proviso for the future comfort
of Mrs. Clark, that if the home proved
unsuitable or uncomfortable that I
would bear the rent of another home
that was comfortable and suitable.
Charges Are Denied.
"Furthermore, it may not be out of
place to say that, since coming to Port
land, up to the time of the divorce,
there was expended by me for the
household and Mrs. Clark, to gratify
either her desires or her necessities,
an average of between $5000 and $6000
a year. Much of ltwas spent unneces
sarily, perhaps, but one is at times in
clined to purchase neace at an exorbl
tant cost. I am not saving any of
these things in self-praise, but merely
as a premise to the proposition that
whatever a man should do, and could
do, along these lines. I have tried to do,
all in the hope that the problem I
faced, and faced hourly, would some
time solve itself without the necessity
of the distasteful notoriety which un
solved domestic misfortunes so -fre
quently produce. But all this proved
unavailing, and at last the situation
became such that a public and judicial
settlement became inevitable, hence
the divorce proceedings brought about
nine months ago.
"L,et me say in conclusion that I have
lived here now over eight years. What
my career and course of conduct here
has been, personal and professional, 1
well known. Prior to that time, since
I was 6 years old, I lived in Minnesota,
My whole life and career has been open
and as free to observation as was pos
sible for anyone's to be, and I charge
anyone, here or elsewhere, to point to
a single act or association, open to
just condemnation, without speaking a
lie."

EUGENE, Or., March 20. Special.)
Julius Krutschnitt, of New York City,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Southern Pacific, today made r his
first inspection of the completed por

Eugene to Coos Bay, which has been
under construction for nearly five
years and which jnay be completed this

eluding William Sproule, president of
the Southern Pacific; William Hood,
chief engineer of the Southern Pacific,
and other high officials of this rail
road, arrived last night from'San Fran
Cisco.
"I hope that we will be carrying
great quantities of timber, coal and
food products over the new branch be
fore this time next year," said Mr.
Krutschnitt after his return today. "At
least we will be ready to haul it if the
country will ship it, and I think It will.
They tell me that Coos Bay win he
come an important seaport.
"We have built a real railroad here.
I have found it extremely well con
structed all of steel and concrete."
The party was taken over the Wil-
lamette-Pacif.c to the end of the track
at Mapleton last night. This morning
they went down the Siuslaw by boat to
Acme, to where the steel drawbridge
across the Siuslaw Is about to be erect

night, Mr. Krutschnitt and members of
his party went to Tillamook, xney will
arrive at the Tillamook terminus this

hours before continuing their inspec
tion of company property in Oregon.

REDDING, March 20. Both in mag
nitude and duration, Lassen peak's 82d
outbreak today exceeded all previous
eruptions.
Beginning at dawn a mighty col
umn of dense black smoke arose from
the valcano's principal crater and
spread a pall over the countryside
for miles in all directions. At ! P. M.
the eruption ceased, but for an hour
longer ashes continued to fall at points
15 miles away. The sky was cloudless
and there was scarcely a breeze to give
direction to the huge plume or smoice
From Bedding a magnificent view
of the eruption waa had. and, although
this city is 42 miles' distant from the
mountain residents were made keenly
aware of Lassen's activity by the acrid
smell of the sulphurous smoke. Four
miles from Redding ashes tell so
thickly that names could be written
in the pasty substance.
The atmosphere, surcnargea witn
volcanic dust, contributed to a gor
eeous sunset that flamed like an
aurora borealis.
Whether other craters surrounains
the main vent were active today could
not be ascertained, owing to the black
billows from the peak, whose funnel
has an extreme length of 1900 feet and
an average width of 200 feet.
Yesterday, however, two other vents,
one in a desolate region, inree mues
away from the peak, and known as
Bumpas Hell, were unusually active.
Scientists who inspected Lassen peak
last Summer, it was recalled today,
gave out this warning: "If Bumpas
Hell wakes up, look out."
