WEATHER BUREAU IS RIGHT ABOUT 90 TIMES IN 100, DECLARES CHIEF Science of Using" Barometer Correctly Is Modern, Asserts Charles Marvin, Who Was on Visit Here During Week. War Limits Range of Work, but United States Is Held Ahead of Other Nations. t CAc?r-e5 ST S&s's'jtr'j? 7j7 UNCLE SAM'3 "Weather Bureau is batting .900, according'to Charles F. Marvin, of Washington, D. C. chief of the Weather Bureau, who was a Portland visitor of the weelc. The average of successful forecasts made by the Bureau, he says, is 90 per cent. Verification of forecasts shows that from 88 to 92 per cent of predic tions made by officials of the Bureau are correct. "We hit it nine times out of .10," he said. "Naturally it is impossible, to be absolutely perfect in weather fore cast work as in anything else." . According to Mr. Marvin the work of the Bureau in foretelling the weather has become an exact science. Since the United States went into the business in 1871 the goosebone prophet was much discredited. Formerly weather prophecy was confined to wise old men who turned an inquiring eye upon the clouds, raised, a wet finger aloft to ascertain which way the wind was blowing, mayhap observed the flight of birds, wondered whether the moon was wet or dry and predicted rain unreservedly if the frogs were croaking in the marshes. Barometer Invented In 1643. But these old weather signs spell nothing to the scientists of the Weather Bureau. They do not care whether the squirrels lay up a plentiful store of nuts for Winter or not or whether the hulls on the chestnuts are thick or thin. They do not give a snap cf their fingers for rings around the moon, as applied to weather lore, nor do they place the lease reliance on the swallows flying low or the sheep hud dling together. As for the frogs croaking, they will tell you thefr are making love, and even the rheumatic twinges of the old est lnrabitant are reckoned lightly in comparison with a barometer. That valuable instrument was in vented as far back as 1643 and was the first step toward encouraging the study of meteorology. The thermom eter was invented shortly after. But although meteorological stations were established in various countries for ob servation purposes, no system of fore casting the weather based on any re liable basis was possible until after the telegraph came into general use. This gave the forecasting business the biggest boost it ever had. SOURCES OF INTERNATIONAL LAW ARE CUSTOM GROWN WITH NATIONS Provisions Apply and Are Observed by All Governments Capable of Civilized Intercourse, Says Attorney Versed in Affairs of 'World.. Glen H. Husted. an attorney of Portland. who will contribute & series of articles on j international law as it applies in me pres ent crisis, of which the following is the first, was born In Michigan. lie studied law with United States Circuit Judge Sev erely, of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, composed of Judges Taft. I.urton snd Severens. He took instruction in international law two years under Justice Brewer, of the Supreme Court of the United States, and received first honors of class on graduation. In 1!03 he was appointed by Attorney-General Knox as attorney in the Department of Justice; promoted later to special assistant to the Attorney-General, and remained as such through the admin istrations of Attorneys-General Knox. Bona parte and Wlckersham. Under Mr. Knox he had to do with international relations grow ing out of the war with Spain. Under Mr. Bonaparte he was of counsel for the Gov ernment in the suit to separate the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroad com panies. Under Mr. Wlckersham he came to Oregon and was associated with B. D. Town send in the prosecution- of the Oregon si California land grand case. BY GLEN E. HUSTED. THE principles of international law applicable to the circumstances giving rise to the present crisis have become of absorbing interest to all. At least up to the time of the Spanish-American war it was the tendency of this country to observe the isolation which Waehington recom mended. Our time was taken up with the development of our resources, and our relations with foreign nations were not so intimate or extensive that the Suojert or iniernaiivnai mw w aa a. inat tAr ftf cpnernl concern to our citizens.! The interest In this subject excited by the war with Spain was temporary, and since then little has happened to at tract general public attention in this direction. The study of International law has not been deemed a necessary part of a liberal education, and even most law yers have had little occasion to become familiar with, its principles. Now the subject has become of the highest im portance to the general public, and we would be wholly lacking in patriotism did we not give applicable principles of international law that diligent ex amination and anxious study which are commonly devoted to matters with which we are vitally concerned. Sourcea Are Custom Grown. The sources of International law ar custom grown up within the family of nations, the works of text writers of authority, the decisions of prize courts and international conferences a'nd tribunals, treaties, state papers, opin ions of Attorneys-General, confiden tial and otherwise; regulations issued for the government of officers, history of wars and negotiations between na tions, the formulated views of interna tional associations of Jurists and the decisions of the courts of the various nations. , The law of nations, having Its origin ' ' " my T ' - - - -.. ; -s , s Mi J ! s M i Arts' .a?o7-&or-iy - Congress made an appropriation in 1871 for the beginning of the present Weather Bureau. Professor Cleveland Abbe, now in the Government service, began forecast work in Cincinnati be fore the organization of tiie Bureau and he urged Its feasibility. The work was intrusted by the'.Gevernmcnt to the Signal Corps of the War Depart ment, but was enlarged and trans ferred to the Department of Agricul ture in 1890. United States Declared In Lead. Chief Marvin, of the Bureau, says that the United States took the lead in forecast work, although other na tions have adopted the same system, which consists of the collection of data as to air currents, temperatures, rain fall, etc., in many different localities and the forwarding of these statistics to the Central Bureau, where forecasts are made on the Information at hand. The European war, he says, which has laid its hand on so many of man's ac tivities, has curtailed the supply of data formerly available for the Weath er Bureau and as a result, the issue of weekly general forecasts has been sus pended until the close of the war. Be fore hostilities commenced, practically the whole Northern Hemisphere was covered by the Washington office, daily observations being received from the Azores, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Great Britain, Germany, France, Portugal, Russia, China, Japan. Alaska and other places. Chief Marvin contemplates -the grad ual widening of the service of the Weather Bureau, which is now exten sive, and one object of his visit here is to provide for an extension of one of the latest developments, which is the arrangement for warnings of forest Are winds. Much can be done, it is said, in preventing the start of brush fires when unusually dry conditions prevail in Summer, accompanied by hot winds. All People Held Affected. Mr. Marvin, in pointing to the wide spread work of the Weather Bureau, giving warnings as It does of storms, floods, winds, frosts, hot and cold weather and unusual conditions of anx kind, says it touches directly the lives of every living person in the country. From the schoolgirl, starting on a pic nic, to the master of a steamship put ting to sea, the weather forecast is of the first importance, and it touches all classes. Despite wars that rage and disasters that threaten, the . weather holds its in the necessities growing out qf com mercial, diplomatic and social inter course of civilized nations, applies to and is observed by all nations capable of civilized intercourse. The Supreme Court of the United States, recogniz ing its existence, has held that inter national law "is no less Binding upon Congress than if the limitation were written in the Constitution." Questions frequently arise between nations as to which international is in an unsettled state, but It is almost equally true that municipal law is not so settled as to apply without ques tion to the ever-varying phases of lin man affairs, and many general prin ciples of international law are as well settled, definite and certain as those of municipal law. "The Government of the United States has on various occasions an nounced the principle that interna tional law, as a system. Is binding upon nations, not merely as something to which they may be tacitly assumed to have agreed, but also as a fundamental condition of their admission to full and equal participation in the intercourse of civilized states." 1 Moore Dig. Int. Lc, Sec. 1. page 2. Blockade Is a war measure by which the forces of one belligerent obstruct communication with a place or places in the possession of the other. The term is usually applied to the obstruc tion of communication by water. It is sometimes - used as & means of re prisal, but ordinarily it is a war meas ure. Blockade la Same aa Siege. A blockade is like a siege on land. 1 case of a siege on land, a city or fort of one belligerent Is surrounded by th army of another, an attempt made to cut off supplies and the entrance of troops, and by starvation, if not otherwise, to compel the city or fort ress to surrender. Notable Instances of siege on land are the siege of Vicks burg of General Grant in our Civil War, the siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War, the siege of Ladysmith by the British 'during the Boer War, and the recent siege of Przemysl, by the Russians. A blockade differs from a siege in that the port or ports blockaded can not be surrounded on all sides, but only on the water side, unless it is an Island. The object of a blockade is to stop trade and cut off supplies, the block ading fleet Intercepting all vessels coming Into or going out of the ports blockaded. The aim is not-simply to stop the vessels of the enemy, because they are subject to capture anywhere, but to stop all vessels going or com ing. Until a blockade is established the neutral nation has a right to con tinue its trade relations with the bel ligerent nations, provided that trade does not include contrabrand of war. Perhaps the most extensive blockade 4. i- - own as the most important thing and the foremost topic of conversation. Jlr. Marvin took occasion to put a bomb under the man who ever and anon rises up and says the weather is chang ing and that Oregon, for instance, is not getting as much rainfall as it used to have. .. Forecasting? Field Modern Science. "In thinking of weather, one must think in cycles, not In ten years but in 50 and 100 years." he said. "The mem ory of the oldest Inhabitant fails him at times. We have approximately the same weather, with some extremes, all the time. Just what causes these ex tremes we cannot tell, except that our weather, which includes winds, storms, sunshine and other changes, comes from the sun. If the sun were to stop shining, we would have no weather changes whatever. But whether It's sunspots or what that causes our ex tremes, we cannot say with certainty." Mr. Marvin holds that forecasting is an essentially modern science, origin ated within the last 40 years and made possible- only by the perfection of the telegraph. He says it has become an exact science and flouts the old-fashioned weather prophet right to his face. Many of the old school do not agree with Mr. Marvin and his new-fangled ideas of predicting the weather. They contend that the gift of foretelling con ditions extends farther back than Mr. Marvin admits. As an instance they point to Father Noah, who made a Tain forecast that has been unequaled since, and all without the aid of a barometer, hypsometer, thermometer, anemometer or water meter. ever . attempted and carried out was that of the Southern ports of this coun try during our Civil War. It started from the Rio Grande on the southwest and terminated only at the mouth of the James River on the north. There was a proclamation of blockade em bracing this whole coast line, and an effort more or 4less successful made to establish a blockade of all that terri tory. It was established for the pur pose of exhausting the Confederacy and preventing supplies reaching it. Until the proclamation was issued by Lincoln and put in force by our vessels of war. establishing this blockade, the Confederates through their ports could rightfully trade with Great Britain or any other neutral nation. They could sell their cotton and buy anything they wished except contraband of war. When the blockade was- so enforced that the cotton, the great staple of the South, could not be carried to European markets, and European merchants could not sell or deliver anything to the Southern States, there was started that which really and finally became effective as a means of exhaustion. On the land our armies were doing what amounted practically to the same thing. As they went into the far South where the cotton fields were they seized all the cotton they could get hold of, the object being to exhaust the resources of the South and lessen its powers of resistance. It is a pro cess of exhaustion and that in itself Is the principal purpose of both block ades and sieges. Motive. Have Wide Latitude. Every belligerent nation has a right to determine for itself whether in its judgment the blockading of the ports of the enemy and obstruction of com merce with the enemy will tend to ac complish that result. It does not make any difference what fine spun theories may be woven as to the motives or reasons which may Justify a blockade practically it has been and may be done whenever one of two warring nations thinks It can help Its cause by block ading the ports and preventing com munication with the other. The subject of blockade formed parts of the declaration adopted at the Con gress of Paris in 1856. with reference to maritime law, known as the Declar ation of Paris, to which practically all civilized nations were or have since become signatories. That declaration consists of - four propositions: 1) Privateering Is and remains abolished: (2) neutral flag covers enemy's goods except contraband of war; (3) neutral goods except contraband of war are not liable to capture under enemy's flag, and (4) a blockade In order to bo binding must be effective. That is, a blockade must be maintained by a force sufficient really to prevent ac cess to the country with which its pur pose is to stop communication. This last proposition deserves spe cial consideration at this time. The result of the action of the blockading forces is not necessarily the test of the fact of blockade; that is, if a vessel succeeds in running a blockade. It does not follow that the blockade is not effective. That clause was inserted by virtue of the fact that in times past it had been a common thing to establish wnat was called a paper blockade, simply by issuing a procla mation declaring a blockade, without any force on hand sufficient to make a pretense of stopping vessels. The term "effective" means, adopting the language used by our Secretary cf the Nvy in instructions Issued at the outbreak of the war with Spain, which follows the rulings of other nations, that a blockade to be effective and binding must be maintained by a force sufficient to make ingress to and egress from tlve country blockaded dangerous In fact. What constitutes the effectiveness of a blockade Is a changing fact. Run ning the blockade during our Civil War was a regular business. The swift steamers would get by in spite of the blockading fleet. Effectiveness is not to be determined by the actual results of the action of the blockading squad ron. It depends upon whether the force on guard is sufficient to m.ake it a risky business to go in or come out. A single modern war vessel steaming back and forth may make it really dangerous for a vessel to enter even quite a broad harbor. t Rodriguez' Case Cited. The case of tRe Rodriguez In the Supreme Court of the United States (17 U. S 610) is instructive In this connection. Chler Justice Fuller, refer ring to the fourth proposition of the declaration of Paris, said that mani festly this broad definition was not in tended to be literally applied. It is enough if the danger Is real and ap parent. The Rodriguez had been in the port of Havana before and knew what vessel was watching the port. She had entered and come out in safety once and had been notified by the Vosemite. the vessel on guard, and an official warning had been entered on her log book. Thus the Rodriguez knew the capacity of the vessel blockading the port. In the meantime, and before the Rodriguez started to go in the next time, the place of the Yosemite had been taken by the New Orleans, of much greater speed and armament. In ten minutes at maximum speed the New Orleans could cover any point of a circle 19 miles in diameter. One circumstance relied on strongly In this case was that the Rodriguez had measured the danger from the Yosemite and thought she could sneak out, but the New Orleans was too fast for her. The court held the vessel could not plead that the blockade was not legally effective. Notice of the blockade must be com municated to the neutral before a ship Is liable to capture. An enemy's ship Is subject to capture at all times and the question of blockade cuts no figure. It is with reference to neutral ships that the quesion arises. Public pro clamation is sufficient notice generally, but it is possible that a vessel might be shown -to have left a port so situated that a vessel might be shown to have left a port so situated that It., did not have notice and did not leave with intent to violate the block ade. Unwarned Vessel Han Right. A neutral vessel leaving port before the blockade is proclaimed, or after that without notice, is engaged in a perfectly legal undertaking and Is not subject to seizure. When it reached the blockaded country the blockading fleet would give it notice of the blockade. Up to that time the voyage would be rightful. But after receiv ing that notice, it would have to abandon its purpose of entering there and go elsewhere. If it still persisted in attempting to run into the block aded port, it ' would be subject to seizure. -A blockade is established ordinarily by executive proclamation, but the commander of a fleet may establish it if he sees fit. In the late war with Spain Admiral Sampson established a blockade of certain ports on the south ern shore of Cuba, not included within the President's proclamation. A vessel was seized for running that blockade, found guilty, sold and the money dis tributed among the officers and men of our fleet. A blockade is terminated voluntarily by proclamation of the nation maintain ing it or involuntarily by a superior force of the enemy. If a atorm arises and the blockading squadron by stress of weather is temporarily prevented from standing off against the block aded port, the blockade is not ordinarily raised the-eby in such a sense that a neutral vessel can go in or come out without being guilty of violating the blockade. Blockade-Running; la Crime. The running of a blockade is a crim inal act in the sense of international law. There must be an intent to run. the blockade, and that fact must b3 shown by the captor before the vessel can oe condemned. The prosecutor has to establish criminal intent as in any other criminal case. This is not always an easy thing to do. A vessel Intend ing to run a blockade does not adver tise that fact any -more than does a burglar who is going to break into a house. The offending vessel does not take clearance papers for the block aded port, because that would establish an intent to go there, but clears for some other place nearby, so that, fol lowing the natural line of travel, she can get close to the blockaded port and watch for an opportunity to get in. When the vessel comes into port for condemnation, there must be evidence of an Intent to run the blockade, and it is made up, as in other cases, of tes timony of witnesses and tho general conduct .of the vessel. This intent must be shown by competent evidence which is clear and convincing. A number of cases growing out of seizures of neu tral vessels during the war with Spain were before our Supreme Court on the question whether the testimony bear ing on the intent to run the blockade was sufficiently clear to Justify con demnation. One of these cases was that of the Newfoundland, a chartered English ves sel from St. Johns to carry supplies to Kingston. She maneuvered around the blockaded ports of Cuba in a most suspicious' way. yet when the couri came to review the testimony, while there was strong reason to believe that she intended to run the blockade, the proof was held insufficient and the condemnation was set aside. Capture la Costly. What Is the result of such a case? It costs sometning to seize a vessel oit the ocean, take it into port, conduct ef trial, the vessol being kept while the proceeding is going on, or else bonded and'allowed to go. The rule is that if there was probable cause to believe the vessel guilty, she will be released on payment of costs. If, on the other hand, there was no reason to believe her guilty, then the captors will oe held responsible for all the expenses of seizure and retention. If guilty of an attempt to run the blockade, the vessel is condemned and sold. During the Spanish-American War the money real ized in such cases was distributed among the captors, but Congress has since passed an act doing away with prize money. Certain belligerent rights asserted in the present war are entirely lacking in precedence. Early In February Ger many announced that the English Channel and the waters surroundig England and Ireland were-to be con sidered as a so-called "war zone"; that enemy vessels found therein would be destroyed, and that neutral vessels therein would expose themselves to danger, because it might not always be possible to distinguish between neutral and enemy's vessels. Professor John Bassett Moore has recently said that "as a method of warfare this must be regarded not only as an atrocity, which HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS IN THE DALLES DO GOOD WORK IN AGRICULTURE George F. Sanders, Graduate of Oregon Agricultural College, Supervises "Work of Students, Who Make Excellent Scores in Garden Contests Primary Pupils Also Interested. jw"' 's i. in. m IS, v i THE DALLES, Or., June 12. (Spe cial.) The Dalles public schools are already splendidly equipped for the teaching of domestic science and manual training. Elementary agricul ture of a. practical nature has been in troduced In the primary and grammar grades with remarkable success, ac cording to a report from'M. O. Evans, Jr., of the extension division of the O. A. C, former supervisor of Portland school garden work. Mr. Evans judged the gardens on June 1. In February the Board of Education, at the suggestion of Professor I. B. Warner, city superintendent of schools, appropriated 300 to pay the salary of a supervisor for four and one-half months,, working half time, and to pay necessary expenses of ground prepara tion. Although it was a late begin ning for a district where the growing season starts so early, they were for tunate enough to find a capable man no nation is at liberty to perpetuate, but also as a direct violation of a clear international right which governments are justified In asserting on all occa sions." In response to this announcement of Germany our Government very prop erly declared that. the sole right of a belligerent in dealing with neutral ves sels on the high seas is limited to visi tation and search for contraband arti cles, unless a blockade is proclaimed and effectively maintained, which lat ter Germany did not attempt to estab lish. German Action Protested. Hence the United States informed Germany that if a German commander should destroy on the high seas an American vessel or the lives of Ameri can citizens, it would be "difficult to view the act in any other light than as an indefensible violation of neutral rights, which it would be very hard, indeed, to reconcile with the friendly relations now happily existing between the two governments," and that should such a deplorable condition arise the German government would be held to a strict accountability and the United States would -take steps to safeguard the lives and property of its citizens and preserve for them the enjoyment of their acknowledged rights on the high seas. Germany replied, disclaim ing all responsibility for injuries hap pening to neutral vessels in the war zone. An authority writing with reference to this situation recently said: "If the usage of nations be the criterion of legal right, the freedom of the seas has long since ceased to be an aca demic dream, and is today the well recognized possession of every mari time state." Simultaneously with its declaration to Germany the United States present ed to Great Britain a protest respect ing the use of our flag by British mer chant vessels. The President of Nortn western University, an authority on in ternational law, recently said: "The use of a neutral flag by a belligerent ship is common in war and lawful." Hesitancy la TUought Wlae. - Germany attempts to support its action with respect to the establish ment of the so-called war zone upon the ground that it is in retaliation for the alleged efforts of Great Britain to obstruct trade and commerce with Germany and thus to exhaust the Ger man people. An effective attempt by the allies to cut off all trade with Ger many would be difficult to distinguish In principle from such a blockade as that maintained by us of the Southern ports during our Civil War, and our Government has wisely hesitated to assert that such action would be con trary to international law. It may be true that submarines and aeroplanes will revolutionize warfare. It is inconceivable, however, that be cause they have come Into use the fundamental principles of international law, founded on natural justice, are to be overturned. Doubtless submarines might be used to maintain a blockade. If one were properly proclaimed and made effective, but their procedure in maintaining it would necessarily be governed generally by the rules so long recognized by all civilized nations as controlling In such cases.

The introduction of trial marriages in Portland might be credited to Simon Weyrlck. aged 60, who was' convicted yesterday of conducting a marriage brokerage in the Buchanan building and sentenced by ' Municipal Judge Stevenson to 30 -dav s' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $20. According to the testimony of women witnesses in the case, which was not refuted by the defense, Weyrlck would advertise for a woman to take charge of a rooming-house, a woman com panion for an elderly gentleman, or for a woman to be employed in other capacities. These who answered the advertisements he would insist upon coming to his offices. When there he would lead the con N't 4 V 4 via Ls.Tk: -C for supervisor in the person of George F. Saunders.

Very personal questions were asked, testified all the witnesses, and the proposition made was eeldom immediate marriage, but rather companionship for a certain period of time, in which it might be determined by both parties whether or not they were congenial enough to embark upon the matrimonial seas. Deputy City Attorney F. W. Stadter introduced 65 letters as evidence, all of which were used in the operation of the matrimonial bureau. For participation in a divorce planned in Hillsboro, Weyrlck has been on parole, leniency being secured when he paid back $250 he had taken from a man with the promise of securing for him a divorce. The man's wife refused to be divorced. ROYAL II WINS DERBY FAVORITE TAKES LATOXIA EVENT BEFORE GREAT CROWD. Outi1er In Bet tin & Sets Pace and Is Ahead I'ntll Last Sixteenth. Kin Ifthins in Second Place. CINCINNATI, June 12. Royal II, an Engrlish-bred colt owned by Jefferson Livingston, of Chicago and New York, won the 321 renewal of the Latonia Derby at the Latonia, Ivy., race track today by a full length. Tetan, the pace maker' until the closing: sixteenth, was second, a length in front of Dortch. who tired rapidly toward the end after being a prominent contender the better part of the way. The race was worth $10,125 to the winner and he paid $4.80 for a $2 ticket in the pari-mutuel bettrng. The day was fair, the track was fast and the crowd was probably the largest that ever wended its way through the Latonia gates. Royal II was favorite in the betting, with Emerson Cochran a second choice. The latter was never a serious con tender after the" first half-mile and finished last. Tetan, an outsider in the betting, was reported to have been withdrawn early in the day, but Owner W. Perkins decided to start him at the last moment, and the horse paid $22.30 for a $2 ticket to place and $8.40 for a $2 ticket for show. Dortch paid $4.80 for a $2 ticket for show.
