After weighing all the evidence adduced in behalf of the University of Oregon in a suit brought by it against Secretary of State Olcott to restrain him from placing on the ballot title two bills making appropriations for the insti tution, on the ground that the peti tions asking that they be referred to the people are fraudulent, the su preme court Tuesday reversed the decision of Judge Galloway of the rircuit court, which was in favor of tie institution, and dismissed the case, and the bills go on the ballot. This was the second time the case was up before the supreme court for adjudication. The court in its for mer decision reversed Judge Gallo way on the ground that Injunction proceedings to restrain a public of ficer could not be brought by a pri vate citizen. The university to com ply with this decision brought the suit a second time in the name of District Attorney J. H. McNary of tnis county, and while holding that its procedure in this respect is legal, the court rules against the other con tentions raised by the university lawyers. The main point upon which the university hoped to win its case was that of fraud, it being contended that there was a sufficient number of names on the petitions to invali date them. The supreme court holds that there are sufficient good names, after the forged and fictitious names are eliminated, to refer the bills. It further holds against the contention of the university to the effect that the fact that a number of names were fraudulent, the rest of the pe titions would be contaminated and invalid. The university's attorneys also raised a contention that each sheet must have the title of the law sought to be referred printed on it, but the court holds against this view. It also ruled against the contention that It was not within the Jurisdic tion of the court to go beyond the petitions filed, and inquire into the fact whether the signatures are forged or otherwise illegal. The opinion is written by Justice McBride and concurred in by all members save Justice Eakin, who presents a dlHHenting opinion. Judge ( Eakin holds that each sheet contain ing blanks for signatures, in his opinion, must contain the title of the law. AXTI-FORF.UJN FEELING. Chinese Warned Not to Ally Them selves Witli Movement. Cheng Tu. Alarmed by the spread of anti-foreign feeling in western China, President Lo Luen of the Ko-Lao-Huci, a political se cret society whose power through out the country rivals that of the government itself, has issued warn ing to the members of the organiza tion to ally themselves with no anti foreign movement under the penalty or the severest discipline. "You must understand Interna tional laws," the proclamation ex plains, "under which nations permit commerce, and preaching in one country by subjects of another. Many Chinese go abroad and estab lish temples or engage in business in foreign lands just as foreigners do in China. "As republicans, too. you ought to tudy freedom, one item of which is religious liberty. It would hardly be fair for us to insist on the right to be Confucians, Buddhists, Taoists, or Mohammedans and to deny others the right to believe in Christianity. "Even if Chinese missionaries in China have sometimes been violent, H is because the men were bad not their religion. The monks of Yuan dynasty and the Toaist priests of the time of Sung were guilty of treach ery, debauchery and violence, but their religions were not stamped out. Unscrupulous and high-handed Con fucian priests In China prey on the people insatiably, but no one speaks Against Confucianism. "In fact, there Is good in every thing and the innocent must not be made to suffer for the black Bheep." WILL FOLI'W TKDDY. llrynn to Stump Country on Heels of (M)ncnU Seagirt, N. J. That William J. Bryan's work to tecure the election of Woodrow Wilson may be second only to that of the governor himself is the campaign plan belnjf mapped out here by the presidential candi date and his advisers. It is planned for Bryan to take the stump and chase Roosevelt around the country, taking the colonel to task for the "mysterious influence" that Induced George W. Perkins to become his en thusiastic supporter. Colonel Bryan, it was said, will ulsit Wilson a few days after the latter has been notified. August 7, that he is the democratic presiden tial candidate, at which time the campaign plans will be perfected. THE CHAMPIOX IS DEAD. Great Eg Producer Passes Away at Corvailis. The poultry yards of the Oregon Agricultural College have lost their champion egg producer. Miss Cor vailis, a hen with a record of 32 pounds of eggs a year, has died. The post mortem examination showed a ruptured oviduct through which a quantity of egg yolk had escaped into the body cavity, and the growth of the membrane which attempted to enclose the tumor thus formed caused a fatal stricture of the intes tine.. Miss Corvailis, registered No. A-122, was a Barred Plymouth Rock from an incubator hatch of Febru ary, 1910. All of the'ehicks of that brood were hatched from eggs of trap-nested fowls bred for high egg production. She laid her first egg November 12, 1910, and in the next 19 days of the month furnished 10 more eggs to the college egg basket. In December she laid 22 eggs, in January 23, in February 19, and in March 26. In April she laid 23 eggs, and was broody two days. Then she laid continually to the middle of June, when for six days she insisted on sitting. She had but two more broody seasons in July and August and otherwise continued laying. Her banner month was October, when in 30 days she laid 27 eggs. At the close of her first year she had a record of 259 eggs, weighing 32 pounds and worth at market prices $6.40. Though not the high est egg production on record, it shows what can be done by careful breeding. She was developed after four years of selection from a show stock pen of hens having an annual production of 79 eggs each. Of the nens bred from this stock, 25 per cent laid more than 200 eggs apiece last year, individual records running from 259 down to ix. BARGAIN SALE MACHINERY. Uncle Sam Must Dispose of $15,00,. OOO Worth. The largest bargain sale of ma chinery in history is promised upon the completion of the Panama canal. To dispose of machinery costing more than $15,000,000 is the prob lem confronting government author ities wnen the canal is opened. Although understood in a genera, way, Colonei Goethals, superinten dent of the canal work, reports act ual figures of machinery bought since the United States began dig ging the "big ditch." Here are a few of the principal items: Steam shovels, 102; cars, 4,181; locomotives, 189; rock drills, 725; cranes, 79; dredges, 14; barges, 44. Many of the locomotives and cars will be useful in operating the canal and the Panama railroad, but most of the dredges, steam shovels and mountains of other steel Implements will be put on the block for sale. Secretary of the Interior Fisher has suggested the plan of transfer ring much of the discarded machin ery to Alaska for use in constructing a government railroad to the interior of that territory. If congress does not authorize the federal railway In Alaska, however, most of the Pan ama machinery will be sold for the best price it will bring. Colonel Goethals emphatically de clares, however, that the French plan of leaving discarded machinery to rot and rust will not be adopted by this country. Uncle Sam is too thrifty. Old, corroded, discarded machinery once used by the French in their attempt to dig the canal were monuments of their failure, lining the canal route until the Americans took charge. Some of the old French material was used, but most dumped into the jungle far away from the excavations. RESISTS VACCINATION". Gunner's Mate Says Religion Forbids Compliance With Orders. Washington, D. C. Taught by his creed that it would be wrong for him to submit to vaccination as a protec tion against typhoid fever, John J. Kapsa, Christian Scientist and one time gunner's mate on the battleship Delaware, lived up to it, and as a result of disobeying naval orders was court martialed, reduced to the rank of seaman without pay and today is serving a sentence of one year at hard labor at the disciplinary bar racks at Port Royal, S. C. senator John D. Works of Califor nia, who also is a Christian Scientist, is aroused over Kapsa's case and in tends to bring the facts before the navy department in person. The vaccination order was issued December 1, 1911. Kapsa balked, explaining that his religion forbade such treatment; that his record proved he never was ill, and that he did not need the treatment. When Kapsa persisted in his refusal he was put in the brig and his court martial and sentence followed. WILL NOT HONOR VOUCHER. Secretary Olcott lU-fuses to Draw On Normal Appropriation. Salem. Raising the contention that the failure of Attorney General Crawford to appeal from the Judg ment entered in the circuit court here in favor of the Monmouth nor mal school, in a suit brought by it to restrain the secretary of state from placing on the ballot a bill making the $50,000 appropriation for the Institution, had made the judgment final, the executive com mittee of the normal school board asked Secretary Olcott to honor a voucher presented against the appro priation. Upon the advice of the at torney general the secretary declined the request, it is probable that the board will bring legal action to com pel the secretary to honor the vouch er.

AMONG the most keenly Interested spectators of the proceedings of the Democratic national convention were the wives and daughters ( of men prominent in the pollticul life of the nation. Miss Genevieve Clark, the seventeen-year-old daughter of the speaker, had the time of her young life in watching the varying fortunes of her father's candidacy. Mrs. Taft came up from Washington and sat in the box reserved for Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee. Chairman OIlie James' remark, "Theodore Roosevelt says Mr. Taft Is a friend of the trusts, and Mr. Taft says Theodore Roosevelt is a friend of the trusts, and I be lieve both told the truth," seemed particularly to amuse her, and she led the applause of her little party at the close of the permanent chairman's speech. Mrs. Mack, wife of the national chairman, in the same box, was also an at tentive observer of the lively doings among the excited delegates. Mrs. Taft Is seen at the right In the photograph. Mrs. Mack at the left WOULD REPEAL RECIPROCITY. President May Advise Congress to That Kffert. Washington. President Taft indi cated to several western senators who were active apponents of Can adian reciprocity that he would fa for the repeal of the act. Some of those with whom the president talked think he may send a message to congress on the subject, or will state his position in his speech of ac ceptance when the committee of the Chicago convention notifies him on August 1 of his nomination. Senate leaders say that so far the president has had no direct commun ication with the finance comiittttee on the subject nor sent any commun ication to the senate saying he favors the repeal. Taft will not withdraw his own support of Canadian reci procity as a principle, it is under stood, but will take the position that the United States should not con tinue an offer that Canada refuses to accept. The reciprocity law con tinues in effect in the United States, notwithstanding Canada's refusal to endorse it. Senators McCumber, Heyburn, Gor man and others have urged its re peal and an amendment was put on the steel tariff bill, recently passed by congress and now in conference, providing for such action.

Strong Fight Kxpected to Prevent Its Organization. Chicago. "Without the needed word from Governor Deneen, Colonel Roosevelt wouid not have had the Illinois delegation to the republican national convention and he would have been robbed of the benefit which his Illinois victory gave him in other states." That Is the answer which many re publicans are making to the decision by some of the Roosevelt admirers to 'have a third state ticket in Illi nois, because the governor and his associate republican nominees have refused to abandon their party and go over to the new organization which is being formed by Colonel Roosevelt. Should the convention obey the dictates of those leaders who are de manding a third ticket, many repub licans who supported Roosevelt, but who refused to-desert the republican party, say they will join In the fight against the progressives on the ground of ingratitude and failure to live up to the principle of a square deal for all.

Hostelry at Crater Lake Iooted Dur ing Past Winter. Word of an act of vandalism, the equal of which has never been heard of in this section, was received in this city when F. R. Haywood of the Crater. Lake Hotel Company arrived in the city on a trip in the interest of the transportation problem to the lake. Some person had lived at the camps of the hotel company during the past winter and had wrecked everything he could lay his hands on. It was a terrible condition that was presented to the vision of Mr. Hay wood and A. L. Parkhurst, general manager of the hotel company, when they arrived at the Arant camp June 29, after a hard trip in a snowstorm. The store rooms had been broken open and the supplies that were not eaten were scattered around the camp. Wood was thrown on the car pets; asphaltum was boiled in en amel lined ware; dining room tables were sawed up; holes were chopped in the foors; the entire supply of fire wood was burned; lead pencils were thrown over the place, and general ruin was discernable everywhere. The work of repairing the damage has occupied considerable time, and the cost has been considerable. No evidence was found tq indicate that the vandal was a trapper. A man was seen coming from the vicin ity of the camp last March. He was described by those who saw. him pass ing through Fort Klamath as the hardest looking specimen seen in that section in ages. This is be lieved to have been the man who committed the depredations. How he was able to get to the camp in the winter time -is a mys tery. And how he was able to travel from Arant camp to the rim, loaded down with provisions, Is another problem hard to solve. Klamath Herald. SPINSTERS CENSURED. Colorado Ireacher Denounces Old Maids as Detriment. Grand Junction, Colo. Undaunt ed by the comment by Miss Helen Gould upon his sermon, in which he asserted old maids should be iso lated on a barren island as a 'waste product. Rev. Elmer V. Hunter, of the First Christian church, again in sisted that old maids were a detri ment and a menace to society, and advised Miss Gould to seek a mate incognito in the backwoods. "Miss Gould is a noble woman," he said, "but her nobleness would be greatly enhanced were she mar ried. I don't attempt to dictate to Miss Gould what she should or should not do. Miss Gould has done more good for humanity than any other bachelor girl in this age and she can still do unlimited good. "No woman has done her duty to the world until she has borne chil dren. Miss Gould Is in a peculiar position because of her riches. She cannot be sure she Is being wooed for love alone. The only way to solve this problem is for Miss Gould to accept a position in the backwoods incognito. Here she might find the right one, a righteous, industrious man, who would love her for her true self, and not for wealth. Her riches have handicapped her in the real enjoyment of life, and I dare say she is not as happy in her pri vate car with her maids as is my servant girl. "If Miss Gould wants two weeks of real enjoyment, two weeks of real happiness, let her disguise herself as a waitress in a cheap restaurant; let her clerk In a store or work as a chambermaid anything bo long as she earns her own living and lives on less than $10 a week." ' SXOW RAFFLES PARKER. Attempt to Ascend Mount Mckinley to Top Fails. Fairbanks, Alaska. Prof. Her schel Parker of Columbia University and Belmore Browne of Tacoma ar rived at Tolovana, on the Tanana river, last week, and reported that they failed to reach the summit of Mount McKlnley. Two attempts were made, one on the north and the other on the south peak. An alti tude of 20,200 feet was reached on the south peak and 19,000 on the north peak. Mount McKinley terminates in twin peaks each approximately 20, 500 feet high. Several blizzards about the summit prevented the scal ing of the peakks. More than a month was passed on the mountain. All the members of the party are in good health. Professor Parker said a severe earthquake was felt while the pa-rty was on the mountain. Professor Parker and Mr. Browne will return to Seattle vlt St. Michael. They have many excellent photo graphs taken, while the expedition was on the mountain. MITCHELL SENTENCED. Labor Leader Given Nine Months in Jail for Contempt. ' Washington, D. C. John' Mitchell, vice-president of the American Fed eration of Labor, was sentenced yes terday to nine months in jail on the charge of contempt of Justice Wright's court In which Samuel Gora pers and Frank Morrison also are in volved. -.Mitchell was absent when sentence was passed, having waived the right to appeal immediately. It was noted after sentence was pronounced that Justice Wright offered to suspenfl sentence if Mitchell would promise hereafter to obey the orders of the court. This Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison have already refused to do. The sentence of Mitchell and the two other labor leaders grew out of alleged contempt of Justice Wright's court through a convict proceeding out of the boycott of the American Federation of Labor on the Bucks Stove and Range Company of St. Louis.

Monster bugs and myriads of fly ing insects swarmed out over Puget Sound the night or July 17, buzzed around the incandescent oil vapor light at the New Dungeness light sta tion, one of the most important aids to mariners in the north Pacific, and made life miserable for Keeper Ed ward A. Brooks. The incident was so unusual that Brooks sat down to his typewriter as soon as the pests had taken their departure and wrote a letter about the strange visitation to Lighthouse Inspector Beck. Moreover, the keeper filled a match-box with a few of the mid night maurauders he managed to capture and sent them to the inspect or for inspection and classification. Each of the bugs is about an inch long, has a beam of .5 or an Inch and a depth or the same dimension. Great wings built like those or an aeroplane fold "close to the sides. Although somewhat larger, Mr. Beck says they bear some resemblance to the Spanish fly, which infests some sections of the southern part of the United States. Stripes similar to those on a lightning bug run longi tudinally along their backs. In gen eral construction they are little dif ferent from the June bug. So far as has yet ben determined they are a new species. . This is what Keeper Brooks has to say about them In his official report: "During the night of July 17 the insects and .bugs gathered around the light in Buch quantities It was difH cult at times to keep the light burn ing. "The night was calm and warm, which necessitated having as much ventilation as possible, which gave access to the bugs; also the night was very dark, making the light to shine brightly. "One mantle was broken and it seemed at times the old lamp would have to be substituted to keep the insects trom the light. "This Ib the first time a phenome non of this kind has ever bothered the light. I am sending you -a sam ple of some or the bugs or beetles under a separate cover." Big Welcome for Athletes. New York.
