By grace of a ruling made by Speaker Clark, the house Tuesday passed the wool tariff revision bill over ' President Taft's veto by a vote of 174 to 80. Nine-1 teen republican insurgents voted with the democrats. On the vote as at first announced by the speaker the democratic-insurgent alliance' apparently had failed to pass the bill by two votes. Ten members who had paired with ab sentees voted as present. Clark ruled that it took only two thirds of the members voting "aye" or "no" to pass the bill and ruled that two-thirds had so voted "aye" and that the bill was passed. A violent dispute followed, the re publicans bitterly attacking Clark. On this Underwood made a point of order, thus finally enabling the speaker to declare the bill passed. Before the vote was taken, Con gressman Cannon of Illinois, Hill of Connecticut, Greene of Iowa and Ut ter of Rhode Island defended Presi dent Taft's veto of the wool bill. Utter accused the democrats of playing politics in foisting responsi bility for the wool bill on the presi dent. Fitzgerald of New York took a hand in the debate and called the wool report of the tariff board mere guesswork. Heflin of Alabama also spoke, denouncing President Taft and the republican party generally. EARTHQUAKE DISASTROUS. :i,0(M) Killed and 50,000 Homeless in Turkey. Berlin. rThree thousand persons are known to have been killed in an earthquake which rocked southeast ern Turkey, according to a message just received here by the Tageblatt, from its correspondent at Constanti nople. ' i More than 50,000 persons are homeless and starving. An active crater is also reported to have ap peared on the Atlantis side of the Sea of Marmora. , Later dispatches received here In dicate that conditions are much worse in the disturbed region of Tur key than the. earlier advices stated. Supplementary messages received say that many persons caught under the tottering walls are still alive but slowly starving to death. - The Turkish government Is said to be doing its utmost for the relief of the sufferers, but officials admit their inability to cope with the situ ation. Unless outside aid is extended at once, it is feared thousands will perish from exposure and lack of food. MINISTER IS SHOT. Rev. J. K. Howard of Glendule Hit By Companion's Bullet. , Glendale, Ore. Rev. John K. How ard, pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city, was accidentally shot by his companion, Frank W. Redfield, also of this city, while hunt ing in the mountains near Anchor, about 30 miles from Glendale, early Tuesday morning. It seems the acci dent happened 20 miles from the nearest telephone, and as several hours elapsed before medical aid could be summoned, it was fearea the injured man would not live until the arrival of physicians. Advice from the scene of the acciaent, how ever, states that Rev. Howard is not dangerously wounded. FIVE EXECUTIONERS WANTED. Nevada Prison Warden After Men to Shoot Convicted Slayer. Reno, Nev.

V j .' ... -1 ::, 1 ' 4 ( ivM I "- ii in iii 1 1 ti Equal Suffrage Banquet. Everything was "Just rieht" for the banquet scheduled for Wednes day noon. Old Sol had a good-natured grin on his face. It was re flected on the countenance or all who wended their way to the park club house. The ladies of that useful or ganization had decked the tables with bonny yellow blooms. Even some wore the colors themselves, and we are sure they never prepared a better dinner than that which they served to the Equal Suffrage Club and its guests, which approximated 150 and might have been doubled had there been time to hunt for more chicken. Brother Gillis informed us he had some "anti chickens" penned up at his place that were "mighty fine," but of course we never patron ize that breed of fowls. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Conklin were the guests of honor. Shortly after the first tables were filled Dr. Mattie B. Shaw, our charm ing little president, introduced the exercises, with an invocation by Rev. Stephen A. Douglas. Mayor Neil gave a brief speech of welcome to one and all, including our various visitors, particularly to Mrs. Conklin, president of the South ern Oregon Equal Suffrage Associa tion. He incidentally said that he nad always been a believer in the movement and prophesied that suf frage would win at the coming elec tion by a majority of 7.6G6 votes. Mrs. Conklin responded in a digni fied manner. It is no wonder that her own town appreciates her and has put on a banquet for next week to which they have invited the offi cial members of the Ashland Equal Suffrage Club. Mr. B. J. Greer was next called upon to speak. He said that since woman has been forced out, by cir cumstances, to supply herself with the necessities of life, she has a rignt that must be recognized by every fair minded citizen, to regulate laws that pertain to her welfare in the labor marts. While he did not prophesy a great reform fifteen minutes after she began to vote, he did believe that a great energy for the uplifting of mankind would be set in motion that would redound to the welfare of our nation. Mr. Robert Conklin confessed to the fact of having been converted to the woman's suffrage cause but two years, but so effectively that there was no "backsliding" for him. Mrs. Lambkin, one of our vice presidents, responded gracefully at the call and made her initial speech for the movement. Mr. Burns added to the amuse ment by citing a case where women sat on the Jury, Where a woman was accused of throwing a stone with malice aforethought and breaking a window. The jury went straight to the heart of the matter and decided that was impossible, as a woman never hit anything at which she aimed. He was almost eloquent when he referred to the fact that the balance of voting power was tipping slowly but surely toward the en franchisement of women. Mr. Gillette confessed he had al ways voted for women to have the ballot, and always should. Mr. Briggs, president of the Com mercial Club, was too modest to voice his sentiments, but introduced In his stead Dr. Edwards of Califor nia, who made a splendid impression as he voiced what his state had ac complished since women vote, and said the proudest day of his life was when he escorted his wife and daugh ters to the polls and- they cast their votes for civic righteousness. Dr. Shaw's remarks are too hu morous for this scribe to produce but he struck the high keynote in his last remarks for that great moral re form which they would bring to puss. Mr. Campbell gave a most delight ful reading delicately dedicated to the antis, which provoked enthusias tic applause. Mr. Lemery strongly urged that women be given the ballot because of their upholding of all those prin ciples that make for civic righteous ness. Mrs. Shaw then closed this happy affair with an announcement of a business meeting in the park. Thus closed an event not soon to he for gotten by those participating. ' MRS. M. M. EDMUNDS, Press Cor. Eqlal Suffrage Club f GAY OLD FASHIONS. I n ! ! i ni tt Dandios of Past Canturiaa Would Make " Solomon Look Sad. Compared with the gay apparel worn by the dandies of the past ages the youths of our time in the gayest of jay raiment make but a poor show. The bishop of Ely In the fourteenth century had a change of raiment for every day in the year. The Earl of Northumberland boasted no less than sixty cloth of gold suits at this time. In the time of Chaucer the uien wore clothes as many colored us Joseph's coat so that while one legwould be a blnze of crimson, the other would be tricked out In green, blue or yellow without any regard for harmony or contrast Even as late as the middle of the eighteenth century, a dandy would dress himself in a vivid green coat, a waistcoat of scarlet yellow breeches and blue stockings. And the gentleman of u few years later wore, among other vagaries, a coat of light green, with sleeves too small for the arms and buttons too big for the sleeves; a pair of fine Man chester breeches: clocked silk stock ings; a club of hair behind larger than the head which carried It; a hat not larger than a sixpence. It was a common tiling In the early part of the eighteenth century for a man of fashion to spend several hours daily in the bands of his valet Among the many operations which took up this time was "the starching of the beard and the proper perfuming of the garments, the painting of the face and anointing with oils, tinctures, essences and pomatums. London Standard. BNGIUE TAX EXPOSE TRAMPS OF THE SEA. Their Work In Developing the Ocean Carrying Trade, There are land tramps and sea tramps, but whereas the former lives by the labor of others, the world's business Vould be in great straits were the latter to be swept from the face of the ocean. While there have practically always been tramp ships since men have sailed the sea. It re mained for the Yankee skippers to de velop this phase of ocean carrying to its highest degree. Tramping on the ocean Is only another mime for trad ing, and many are the stories extant of Yankee skippers swapping beads, mirrors, calico, knives and other trifles for Ivory in Africa, and for commodi ties equally as valuable In other lands. The tramp steamship came Into ex istence during the war between the states, and It is to this type of vessel that England primarily owes her su premacy on the sea. she having en couraged the building of tramps more than any other nation. In times of peace they ndd to her prosperity, and where they enjoy a subsidy, as they do In some Instances, they are used ns transports and other auxiliaries in times of war. :- Next to England comes Norway as a nation which encourages sea tramps, and as her maritime laws are more elastic than those of Great Britain, many British tramps are sold to Nor wegian owners, who make them pay after they have outlived their useful ness under the British flug.-Marine Journal. Rook and Crook. The rook appears to have become the bird whose name stands for swindlers in a distinctly unfair way. At first "rook" meant a dupe, then the verb "to rook" came to mean to cheat, and out of this was evolved "rook," a cheater a complete topsy tnrvy proc ess. It Is curious that the same thing hns not happened to "gull." Here also the verb came from the substantive meaning a dupe, and us the gull strikes one us rather a knowing bird oue might have expected the same evolu tion as in the case of the rook. It should be observed, however, that "gull," a dupe, did not refer specially to the sea gull, the word having for merly meant a young bird of uny kind. In Elizabethan English it signified a callow youngster who wished to.be thought smart London Chronicle. The Salamander. In Andrews' "Anecdotes Ancient and Modern" (1789) one rends, "Should a glass house fire be kept up without ex tinction for a longer term than seven years there is no doubt but that a salamander would be generated in the cinders." This probably accounts for the popular idea that a salamander lives In the fire, a fallacy so far re moved from the truth that the curious lizardlike beast so called cannot en dure even the hetit of the sun. but ! skulks away under stones to avoid it. It will never lose Its reputation for fire eating, though, which lingers still In the heating utensil that is named after it Money to loan on improved ranch es, first mortgages; mixed farms pre ferred. W. D. Hodgson, Ashland. Phone 4 2 7-J. , Card Marki. It Is conjectured by some writers on the. subject that the mnrks npou the cards designating the four kinds in a, pack were originally symbolical and Intended to signify the different class es of society. According to this sup position, the hearts represented the clergy, spades the nobility, some old packs of cards bearing a sword or lance head Instead of a spade: clubs the serfs and diamonds the burghers or citizen classes.
