THE COOS Btf TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1914. EVENING EDITION. THERE'S 10 DOUBT IEN PBPE OIED ' PROFESSION FOUR pons OUT OF JOBS ".uiea HOQefjl r... .Ten ,1 United Press' Claim of Import ant Eeat Ridiculed by Authorities. CODE MESSAGES COULD NOT BE TRANSMITTED U. P. Usually Announces the Deaths of Important Peo ple in Advance. ttlr Aoctil Trut to Co !(T Tlmn.J NIJYV YORK. Ana. 2 1. 1IU4. On Weiltu'Mdny afternoon, about linlf )nHt two, the United Vron Amiorla tion K'lit out a formal announce niont of the iloath of Pope IMiik X. Tho Associated Press sent out no ill tuli'Kram at that hour, nor for several hours thereafter. Claim whi matin tliat the United Press hail scored an Important nuwn heat. Thl claim whh challenKed with tho statement that, at half past two, New York time (S:.'10 ji. m. Itoman time), the Pope wan mill alive iiiid that he actually tiled at 1:20 on the followliiK mornliiK. To thin the United Press made answer that, while the Vat lean may have of ficially announced 1: 20 at tho time of ilenth, It actually occurred much earlier and that audi a practice wan not itniiHiinl. It wax said that when Leo XIII died there wan a Ioiik In terval between the actual death and the official announcement. While thlH In true. It In etiually true that at no lime whh the hour of death of Pope l,eo Mil (I... I p. ni.) ever j mlHHiated officially or unofficially. , Further, ft wan Maid that the Unit ed Pimm correspondent at Home, In tlm enno of Plus X, had went two I code moHUKu. one ronelilnK New ' York at 2:2ti p. m.. New York time. ' iiiiii mo other at :i:r.ii New York time, ami it wan milt maintained Hint them were nceurate and that tho Pope' death actually occurred about that hour. There have been some new and Interest Iiik developments: At I o'clock yesterday innmlng MniiNlKtior llotrnno, the papal legit lee to this country, received a ills , pntch from Cardlual .Merry tlel Val, the Papal JWreMry of State, dated at Home at Id: IN Wednesday illicit, whh h wiih I: IS p. ni.

It la well oiioiikIi to permit the Issue or veracity between the Vati can and the United Press to Mtuntl.

As to the claim that the United , Prp mcssnxe was sent In code, the 'following- correspondence Is lllumln jhUiik: ' The general mnnaser of The An- smutted Pies gent to the officers of tin' only three cable companies by , w li eh n dispatch from Home could j b" rraiiFTiltted, a note as follows: I My understanding Is that during this war period news messages can- irt be sent between any part of Kurope and the United States in cole. Am I right? An nnswor will oblige." ! To this were returned the follow ing answers: j ,'.Mr. Stone. Yes, for tho reason 'that messages cannot got to the ! United States without passing j through a belligerent's territory and the belligerents have prohibited code. (ieorge Clapperton, Traffic Man ager. Commercial Cable Company." "Dear .Mr. Stone.

Sweeney, Manager French Cable Compnny." This business of announcing the death of a distinguished person be fore It actually occurs Is not now with the United Press people. Queen Victoria died on January 22, 100 1, itt I'r.'.U) p. m. London time (!:.". p. in. New York time). Hefore that hour a dispatch from the United Picnh announcing the Queen's death van printed. When tho charge was nude that this was a reckless guess or bold anticipation, since the mes mge was sent before the Queen had breathed her last, answer was made that a code wortl, "llergorac," hntl been used ami that It meant "dead." The claim wiih also set up that while the official announcement llxetl tho time of tho Queen's death ni (5:30 p. in.. It actually occurred an hour earlier and that n luessngo to that efrect wan sent rrom Osborne Mouse nt fl:3."i p. m. to tho Arch blHhop of Canterbury. An Investi gation resulted In an nutograph let ter from the Archbishop to the (Sen cral .Manager of Tho Associated "less assuring him that he hntl re ceived no such message. So far as lie know, or so rar as any one else knew or believed, tho hour of death officially given out namely, (5:30 p. in. wiih correct. Very soon this was shown to ho tho fnct. On September IS. l!U, also, nf lr M. Stolypln, former Itusslan Premier, had been wounded at Klov.

Morrow, of Portland, advising that he hnd decided to niako a favorablo recommendation to tho Wnr Depart ment for the extension of tho harbor lino In front of tho North Hend city dock, a totnl of 1040 feet. Uq, however, stated that tho ex tension of tho harbor lino north of California street 11 ml In front nf ttm Southern Pacific and Simpson Lum- uor company s properties would no deferred until tho owners camo to an agreement regarding concessions for streets ncross thoso properties connecting up with tho proposed HtreetB In tho city wntor front Tho plan of extending tho harbor Hue was ono of tho things Mayor Simpson embodied in him message to tho North Hend City Council last January and has never progressed farther than having blue prints made, which woro submitted to tho engineer In chargo of tho coast har bors In Oregon. Wnntccl Exclusive Privileges It seems from a rnnort Mint tlm Southern Pacific Company refused to open a street across their prop erty unless tholr lines could hnve an exclusive uso of same. On tho other hand the Simpson Lumber Company refuses to opon tho streets necessary to connect same unless tho Southern Pacific Company agreed to allow other railroad companies the same privilege. He this ns It may. there Is now no reason why tho North iton.i nitv Council mny not go nhead and mnke mo improvement ns outlined. Tha waterfront is shoaling badly and as shipping Increases more warehouses and dock room will ho needed. Those In a position to know say there Is llttlo, reason to bellove the cost of making tho Improvement cannot bo financed. Don't forget tho ."Wc luncheon at The Chandler. ll:!IO to 2 o'clock.
